GRAND MECHANICAL COMPETITION-- RAIL-ROAD RACE FOR 5001. FURTHER ACCOUNT. (From the Mechanics' Magazine.) The great Rail-road. between Liverpool and Manchester being now nearly completed, the Directors of the undertaking some time ago an nounced that they would give a premium of 5001. for the locomotive engine which should, at a public trial to be made on the Ist of the present month of October (afterwards postponed to the 6th), draw on the rail-way a given weight, with the greatest speed, at the least expence. The offer of so handsome a premium, and the bril liant professional prospects which the winning of it presented to mechanical men, naturally exerted a very lively spirit of competition among them. In almost every quarter of the country engine makers and engine inventors set themselves to work to secure the prize, and the result, we are happy to say, has been such as to furnish a last ing example of the wisdom of calling into action and giving fair play to the general talent of a country, when any great public object has, as in the present instance, to be accomplished. At all hands the Directors of the Liverpool and Manchester railway deserve thanks for their conduct on this occasion : from their constitu ents, for the good sense and liberality which dic tated a competition by which the capability of the railway to do all that was promised, and much more, has been at once placed beyond all doubt, and the chances of a profitable return for the money invested in it increased at least ten fold ; from the owners of the competing engines, for the liberal encouragement by which they were induced to start for the plate, and the im• partial spirit (divested of all local and personal influences) in which the competition has been conducted ; and from the nation at large, for the powerful impulse which this demonstration of the extraordinary celerity with which carriages may be propelled on railways, must give to the more extensive adoption of this mode of convey ance throughout the kingdom. The principal conditions on which the prize was offered were these :-Ist. That each engine entered for the competition should weigh not more than six tons, and be capable of drawing after it, day by day, on a level plain, a train of carriages of a gross weight equal to three times the weight of the engine itself; at a rate of not less than ten miles per hour, with a pressure of steam in the boiler not exceeding 501 b. on the square inch. 2. That the engine and boiler should be supported on springs, and rest on six wheels, and the height from the ground to the top of the chimney should not exceed 15 feet. 3. That the engine should " effectually consume its own smoke." 4. That there should be two safety valves, one of which should be completely cut of the reach of the engine-man's interference. The gentlemen appointed by the Directors to act as judges on the occasion were J. U. Ras trick, Esq., of Stourbridge, civil engineer ; Ni cholas Wood, Esq., of Killingworth, civil engi neer (author of the excellent work on railways) ; And John Kennedy, Esq., of Manchester. The portion of the railway chosen for the " running ground" was on the Manchester side of Rainhill-bridge, (about nine miles from Li verpool), where the railway runs for two or three piles on a dead level. Early on Tuesday, the day of competition, great crowds of people were assembled from all parts to witness the sight. There were many individuals who had come hundreds of miles for no other purpose ; and, as may readily be sup posed, these were not idle spectacle members, but chiefly engineers and men of science, capable of appreciating, in its full extent, the great im oortance of the exhibition. A TN number of competitors was at first reported to be ten, and we have reason to know there was at least as many engines as this in preparation. In this new sort of race, however, as in others, there were some withdrawn, and some prevented by accidents from making their appearance ; and the taumber was reduced - on the morning of trial to five, who were thus described in the official list of the running coaches : No. 1. Messrs...Braithwaite and Erickson cf Lon don, " The Novelty," copper and blue; weight, 2 time, 15 ew - t. No. 2. Mr, Ackworth, of Darlington, "'The Sans Pareil," green, yellow, and black; weight, 4 tons, 8 cwt., 2 quarter!. No. 3. Mr. Robert Stephenson, Newcastle-upon- Tyne, " The Rocket," yellow and black, white chimney ; weight, 4 tons, 3 cwt. No. 4. Mr. Brandreth, of Liverpool, " The Cyclo pest ;" weight 3 tons ; worked by a horse. No. 5. Mr. Burstall, of Edinburgh," The Persever ance," red wheels; weight, 2 tons, 17 cwt. The engine which made the first trial was " The Rocket" of Mr. Robert Stephenson (the son, we believe, of Mr. George Stephenson, the engineer of the railway). It is a large and strongly-built engine, and went with a velocity which, as long as the spectators had nothing to it with, they thought it surprising enough. contrlL' t It drew a w,• -•;qht of 12 tons 9 cwt. at the rate of ti an hour (just exceeding th e 10 miles 4 chains stipulated maximum), endwhen the w e i g ht was detached from it went at a 'peed of about IS miles art hour. The faults mog perceptible in this engine were a great inequality In its velocity, and a 'very partial fulfilment of the cons; on that it should " effectually consume its own smoke," The next engine that exhibited its powers was " The Novelty . ' of Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson. The great lightness of this engine (it is about one-half lighter than Mr. Stephenson's) its compactness, and its beautiful workmanship, eacited universal admiration ; a seotitnetit speedily changed into perfect wonder, by its truly mar vellous performances. It was resolved to try, first, its speed merely ; that is, at what rate it would go, carrying only its complement of coke and water, with Messrs. Braithwaite and Erielt son to manage it. Almost at once it darted off, at the amazing velocity of 28 miles an hour, and it actually did one mile in the incredibly short space of one minute and 53 seconds ! Neither did we observe any appreciable falling off in the rate of speed; it was uniform, steady, and con tinuous. Had the railway been completed, the engine would, at this rate, have gone nearly the whole way from Liverpool to Manchester within the hour ; and Mr. Braithwaite has, indeed, pub. licly offered to stake 1,0001. that, as soon as the road is opened, he will perform the entire dis tance in that time. _ It was now proposed to make a trial of " The Isl ov ekv," with three times its weight attached to it ; bui through some inattention as to the supply of water and coke,. a great delay took place in preparing it for its second trip, and by the time all was ready the day was drawing so near to a close, that the Directors thought it proper to defer the. prosecution of. the competition till the following-clay. The preceding report brings the proceedings of this interesting competition down to the. date of the latest arrivals from Li v erpool, previou s t o the time of our weekly sheet going to press.

FROM RUSSIA, SEPT. 7.—For some days past it is observed that there are frequent communications from Lord Ileytesbury and Count Nesselrode. It is said that the English Ambassador has delivered to our Cabinet a very important note. The Duke de Montemarte, on the contrary, seems to have re mained nearly passive. We hear of an invitation made by the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public Instruction to the Clergy, the subject of which is said to be the forma tion of missions in the provinces occupied by our troops. In the Principalities, us well as in Bulgaria, the class that should instruct the rest is sunk into the greatest superstition and ignorance. It would certainly be a great blessing to those countries, if, together with the improvement of their political condition, attention were paid to a reformation in their system of religious instruction. The report is revived that the Emperor will go to Warsaw in the month of October, to open the Polish Diet in person. A Congress is also spoken of to meet at the same time at Cracow, for the conso lidation of the political system of Europe. VENICE, SEPT. 20.—A ship which has arrived at Zara, from Janina,-has brought intelligence that that town is in the greatest alarm, a general insurrection being every moment expected. The absence of the Paella, the weakness of the garrison, and the recol lection of former sufferings, seem to impel the Al banians to revolt. The captain of the above ship had put to sea with half a cargo, fearing to lose every thing, even his life. BERLIN, SEPT. 30.—According to an official no tice, and virtue of a right reserved in the contract, it is resolved, from the Ist of July, 1830, the sum of at least 320,0001. sterling of the Prussian English loan of 1822 shall be repaid half-yearly, so that the whole loan of 3,500,0001. be re-paid, at latest, on the 2d of January, 1835.

Her pro sperity and happiness depend upon your efforts. Begin, then, by embracing each other between the south and north, fur you are Peruvians every one of you. Your in terests are common to all.

" Fellow Countrymen !—Your brethren, by my instru meutality, °ft.r you the testimony of their patriotism, honour, and gallantry. They propose to themselves to restore the national honour under my command, or cease to exist—to force from the enemy an honourable, and in every point of view a desirable peace.—and to put an end to a fratricide war that has been carried on for private reasons and individual ends, or be for ever struck cut from the list of military men.

Despatches dated the 23d ult. were received last night at the Foreign Office from Lord HEYTESBURY, our Ambassador at St. Peters burg ; they contain no intelligence from Turkey, but what has already been made public. At the time these despatches were sent off, it was not known at St. Petersburgh that a Treaty of Peace had been signed. It is expected his MAJESTY will hold a Council at Windsor on Monday next, when a Procla mation for the further prorogation of Parliament will be issued, and the Recorder of LONDON will make his report of the convicts under sen tence of death in Newgate. Lord ABERDEEN had a long conference with the Duke of WELLINGTON this morning, at his Grace's residence, in Downing-street. We have received no news to-day from the East, but the scanty particulars of the terms upon which peace was granted to the Turks, if true in the main facts, afford a clear insight into the duplicity of Russia, notwithstanding the boasted prcfessions of moderation so fre quently made by the Emperor Nicum.As—pro fessions whi-A, from the outset, we denounced as an insult to Europe. But the Russian was believed, and now behold the consequence ! He has forced terms upon Turkey of a na ture so humiliating—and so subversive of her present as well as her future independence, that the Commissioners of the SULTAN might well startle, and pause for further instructions, before they would hazard their heads by entertaining the ignominious conditions for a moment. But who can withstand his destiny ? The SULTAN to gain a temporary respite submitted to present degradation, and trusted to the mercy of the Conqueror. Ile signed the treaty ; thereby giving the Russians a political claim to assert and maintain their military possession of the empire. But the matter rests not here. The Ambas sadors of England and France were so shocked at the rapacity of Russia that they withheld their sanction from a treaty so dishonourable to the moderation of the conqueror, and so utterly at variance with what was due, in common justice, to the implicit faith reposed in his magnanimity by the vanquished. But no, the Russian, in the intoxication of his victory overshot the mark. I laving obtained the object of his ambition, much sooner than he at all anticipated, he compromises his own glory and risks the object of the war, by grasping at more than he contemplated. But thus it always will be with inordinate ambition. How far the Emperor NICHOLAS, in pur suing this conduct, presumes upon the hitherto passive endurance of England and France re mains to be seen. But we can assure his Im perial MAJESTY, that England is by no means satisfied with the hard terms imposed upon Turkey, as the EMPEROR may shortly learn. At the Congress of Vienna, when the settle ment of Europe was discussed by the assembled representatives of the Great Powers, Lord CASTLEREAGII presented a strong protest against the transfer of Poland to Russia —and we believe that finally the cession was only tole rated on condition that there should be no future aggrandizement of territory allowed at the rx pence of other Powers. How then does the Emperor NICHOLAS suppose that England will sanction the virtual demarcation of Turkey to swell the preponderating power of Russia ? The exclusive navigation of the Black Sea, and the passage of the Dardanelles being confined to Russian ships of war is as humiliating to Eng land as to Turkey—and vi ill such be endured ? Does Russia think that English commerce is to be at her mercy in that sea, for such would be the ultimate consequence of our acquiescence ? Ever since the rude sketch of the terms of capitulation, for we cannot dignify them by the name of peace, were mode known to our Go vernment, Cabinet Councils have been sitting in long but indignant deliberation upon the subject, and unless very considerable modifications be made in the terms, the war in the East is not settled—but suspended for more enterprising agents. We have received Bermuda Papers this morn ing, which contain the following : " The Collector and Comptroller have received the fol lowing from the Hon. Commissioners of his lilajesty's Customs " Custom-house, London, May 7. " Gentlemen,—}laving read your letter of the 16th Dec., stating, that in consequence of the difficulty of ob taining dollars at the rate of 4s. 4d. each, you have been induced to receive the duties in doubloons of the value of 16 dollars each, _ _ " We refer you to our General order of the 30th Sept. last, transmitting a minute from the Lords of the Trea sury, dated the 16th preceding, and direct you not to re ceive doubloons in payment of duties in lieu of dollars at a higher rate than l 5 dollars to one doubloon, or the object of the said minute, which was to prevent British coinage from being thrown out of circulation, will be defeated." The late Mansion-house Dinner in Dublin affords a pretty conclusive insight into the state of parties in Ireland. The Brunswickers, i seems, could not, after tha most desperate exer tions, obtain an opportunity of introducing, or even indirectly alluding to, their darling charter toast of the " Glorious Memory." They were cowed—stultified—(no uncommon case with their fraternity)—and forced into a novel and reluctant courtesy of behaviour. The effort, how ever, appears to have been almost too much for them ; it is by degrees only that the Goth be comes civilized, the savage tamad, and the de feated Brunswickers, unable wholly to subdue the natural rancour of their party prejudices, suffered it to break forth in partial hisses, directed against his Majesty's Ministers, and what is more mon strous still—because irreconcileable with any or dinary notions of good taste and decency—in a health of "nine times nine," proposed in honour of the Duke of CUMBERLAND ! It is not, however, so much with these disap pointed partisans that we have to do, as with the gratifying fact, that with the decline of Orange turbulence in Dublin, declines also the power of the same malignant schism throughout Ireland. That inflammable city, according to Mr. SHEIL, represents Ireland with far greater accuracy than any other metropolis represents any other nation in Europe. All parties, and shades of parties, there find their leading and befitting agents, by whose line of action the different poli tical sects that branch out in every direction through the provinces, intersecting them with a thousand salubrious or pestilential channels, are directed. The decline, therefore, of any petty or influential party in Dublin, will at once prove the signal of decline to the same party in the country ; the one will necessarily take its tone from the other ; if the one bullies, the other will bully ; if the one plays the coward, the other will not fall far short of it in timidity ; if the oue overshoots, or falls short of its mark, the other will make equal haste to overreach itself. The Dublin Brunswickers are in this latter predica ment. Their arrow has flown beyond its mark ; their last prop has slided away from under their feet. Like the ark of discomfited Israel, the Glory hash departed from their house. They may cry " Ichabod, Ichalsod," but it is too late ; the ark of their safety, the assurance of their power, will not only never return, it is absolutely annihilated. It is evident that they had made great exertions to ensure the drinking of the ob noxious toast, which would have proved to their numerous devotees in the North, and to their scanty and crest-fallen supporters in the South of Ireland, first, That they were still dominant as a party, still dangerous to tranquillity, still at utter enmity with common sense ; secondly, That they were resolved, like a rogue at the gallows, to die game ; in other words, to crown a public life of error, by a bigoted obstinacy, in every respect worthy of such a career. Fortunately for Ireland, and we may add, for themselves, the Brunswickers were not allowed to make such martyrs of themselves. The Government party at the Castle, satisfied that they had already dis tinguished themselves by as much absurdity as usually falls to the lot of zealots, whether reli ligious, political, metaphysical, or otherwise, was completely resolved that for once the Orangemen should be discreet in spite of themselves, and wisely forbade the revival of a toast, which, like the " Lillibullero" of a now almost forgotten period, was never yet shouted forth but for law less and seditious purposes. The consequences of this excellent resolution on the part of the Lord Lieutenant will be spee dily felt throughout Ireland. Where hitherto there has been nothing but pride and bluster among the Brunswickers, there will henceforth be asulky show of su b m i ss i veness an d modera tion, wliich though not open peace, are yet in finitely preferable to open and uncompromising violence. The downfall, too, of the " Glorious Memory" will soon prove the downfall of the same " Memory" throughout the provinces, and thus a toast, that for nearly two centuries has been the watch-word of discord to Ireland, will be numbered " among the things that were," among the other follies and insanities of excited political epochs.
