BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN THE BIRKINHEAD, LANCA SHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 24, 1846. GENTLEMEN,—As a shareholder in this undertaking. I make no apology for calling your attention to the following facts, which I think require your serious consideration. By the engineer's estimate of the expense of constructing the ave railwa, and the printed copy of our Parliamentary Contract d eposit e d i n the Private Bill office of the House of Commons, it appears that the estimate is 1,400,0001.; and the following gentlemen are recognised and ap proved of by the subscribers as the previsional directors :—namely, Josepk Bailey, the younger, of Belgrave-square, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; William Potter, Jelin Laird, Marcus Freeman Brownrigg. and William Laird, all of Birkenhead ; Augustus Rad cliffe and William Ballexy, both of Liverpool ; William Wanklyn and Lot Gardiner, both of Manchester; and Cephas Howard, of Stockport. There are various other points connected with this matter to which I may call your attention on a future occasion. At present I bog you to examine the following : Our directors, John Laird, William Laird, William Wanklyn, and William Potter, executed the deed at the dates and for the sums following : John Laird on 28th July last for • • • • • • •• • • 5.81,300 on 4th November last for •• • • 5,000 ------ 86,300 William Laird on 28th July last for •• • • ...• 75,000 on 25th September last for.. 5,850 on 22d October last for. • • • • • 50 --- 78,900 William Wanklyn on 29th July last f0r.... 10,500 on Sth August last for .. 51,150 on 18th October last for .. 5,000 --- 66,650 William Potter on II th August last f0r...... 79,950 79,950 311,800 This sum of Three Hundred and Eleven Thousand Eight Hundred Pounds (considerably more than one-Ilfth of the estimate for the entire line), Is a pretty fair stake for four individuals to have in this railway. How many relatives of these gentlemen, not of the same surname e (such as " Mary Macgregor, spinster, Birkenhead but the there following may b amongst the general subscribers, I do not know ; gen tlemen, a all events, ar some of the nearest relatives of three of the directors above-named, e and they a ppear to have executed the deed as follows : Macgregor Laird on 25th July last for ••• • • £11,700 on 26th July last for ....... .• . 37,500 on 12th August last for ••• • • ..• 3,000 on 14th Nov. last for •••• . • • 150 Henry Ritchie Laird on 26th July last for ------- 52,350 9,450 James FlibbertWanklyn on 29th July last for 30,000 --- John Bradshaw Wanklrn on 30th July last on 30th September last for .. •• • 1,850 -- 57,500 Edward Wanklyn ou Gth August last f0r.... 18,750 -:-- 18,760 Total.. ••..• • • • ........ 168,050 Or in other words, four of our directors, and five of the nearest rela tives of three of them,have apparently subscribed to this undertaking the sum of four hundred and seventy-nine thousand, eight hundred and fifty pounds ; or nearly 40,0001. more than one-third of the esti mated cast of the entire line. This amount represents nine thousand five hundred and ninety seven shares, for all of which, I presume, scrip would be delivered at the time the deed was signed. Independent of the above, you will find large sums amounting to upwards of 400,0001. subscribed for by about twenty-five parties, who appear (judging from their description and address appended to the deed), to have no peculiar claim, either from local connexion as large landowners, or the traffic they may be expected to bring upon the line. I have but little knowledge of these parties, and there fore will not at present particularise them. On reference to the share lists you will find that on the 26th of July last, the scrip in this line commanded a premium in the market of 61. be per share. On the 2d of August last, the premium was 61. 2s. 6d. per share. This is the lowest quotation up to the end of September last. Be tween these dates, namely, the 2d of August last and the end of September last, the average premium was slightly above 101. per share, or in other words, would have realised on these shares a profit of 96,080/. at least. I have seen tho foregoing facts with great alarm. Our Bill will meet with serious opposition before Parliament. I believe it would have overcome all ordinary opposition on its own merits, but I cannot disguise from myself the fact, that when it is found that such an un usually large proportion of our capital is subscribed for by so few individuals, it may be urged by our opponents that the undertaking has been originated and constructed, not for the advantage of the public, but for the private interest of those few parties. I feel this so strongly, that I think an early meeting of our shareholders should be called, which meeting the directors should be requested to attend, raid enter into such explanations with respect to the above and other points, as may satisfy, among ethers, your very obedient servant, A BROTHER SHAREHOLDER IN THIS RAILWAY. BIRKENH.EAD, LANCASHIRE, and CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. GENTLEMEN,—An anonymous circular, signed a " Brother Share holder in this Railway" (a title, no doubt a: sumsd by one to whom it does not belong), having Been sent to the shareholders in this line of railway, containing insinuations implicating the honour and good fa!th of the provisional directors towards the proprietary, I am in structed by the board to express their readiness, upon proper occa sions, to afford the proprietors all reasonable information, but at the same time to protest egainst tire principle of their being called upon to reply to any anonymous statements. In the present instance, however, they consider it would he satisfactory to the • proprietors, as well as to their own feelings, that a short statement of the real facts of the case should be made known ; and I have, therefore, to inform the proprietors that, out of the 53,000 shares forming the capital of 2,500,0001, 30,000 shares were appropriated, in a fixed proportion, to the holders of stock in the original Biraenhead, Manchester, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company ; 10,400 shares have since been appropriated to the Chester and Birkenhead and other companies ; and out of the balance of 9,505 shares, 4,414 have been allotted to members of the provisional committee, landowners, and others—in all, 122 individuals ; hut in no case have more than 100 shares been directly or indirectly allotted to any one, whether director or not.-1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, E. I'. CHARLEWOOD, Secretary. To the shareholders of the Birkenhead and Cheshire Junction Rail- way Company, 25, Abingdon -street, Westminster, 27ih Februari, 1846. TO TIIE SUAREHOLDERS IN THE B IRKENHEAD, 1. IN CASH litE, AND CIIESIIIRE JIJNCTION RAILWAY. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 2, 1846. GENTLEMEN ' —I have this morning received a circular from Mr. E. P. Charlewood, our Secretary, elated 27th of February last, purport ing to lar a reply to mine of the 24th. This reply is evasive and unsatisfactory ; it merely informs me that 40,000 out of 50,000 shares in this railway were appropriated to holders of certain other stock and shares ; and " out of the balance of 9,600 shares, 4,414 have been allotted to members of the provisional committee, landowners, and others, in all 122 individuals ; bat in no case have more than 100 shares been, directly or indirectly, allotted to any one, whether directors or not." I beg to call your attention especially to the statement that 30,000 shares " were appropriated in a fixed proportion to the holders of stock in the original Birkenhead, Manchester, and Cheshire Junction Company." There could be no stock in this Company, as they bad not obtained their Act, but I presume Mr. Charlewood means scrip. Now, on this point I would observe, that many, if not all, of the Directors of the present Line were Directors of the Birkenhead, Manchester, and Cheshire Junction Company, and, of course, had shares in that originally allotted to them ; and, as it appeared a promising speculation, they no doubt purchased more scrip in the market; but it would have been more satisfactory to mo if Mr. Charlewood had explained— lst. What number of shares in the original Line were in the first instance allotted to the Directors named in my circular ? 2d. What number of these shares they had purchased in the market ? 3d. What number of shares were held in reserve in the original Line ; and whether any, and what number, of these reserved shares were appropriated by our Directors previous to the appropriation to them (as holders of stock in the Birkenhead Manchester, and Cheshire Junction Railway), of shares in the present Line? What may be the distinction in Mr. Charlewood's mind between appropriation and allotment I leave him to explain, if he think proper, but I do not see how this is any reply to my circular, and my original allegations remain unanswered, namely : " That four of our Directors, and five of the nearest relatives of three of them, have executed the subscription contract, at Narious dates, for the sum of 479,850/. (see List No. 1) ; and that various large sums, amounting to upwards of 400,0001., are, in addition, sub scribed for by about twenty-five parties, who appear to have no pe culiar claim, either from local connexion or from the traffic they may be expected to bring upon the line. That, at the time these amounts were subscribed for, the shares commanded In the market an average premium of 101. per share. That these facts might give our opponents the opportunity of urging that the undertaking had been originated and conducted, not for the advantage of the public, bat for the private interest of comparatively a few indi viduals." This is certainly apparently the case, and I feel that It will seri ously damage our undertaking before Parliament. I will not trouble you fUrther at present, except to call your atten tion to the additional subscriptions to the Parliamentary contract, as shown In List No. 2. And remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, A BROTHER SITAREROLDER. LIST No. I.

Every fresh mail from Germany only brings more dismal accounts than the preceding of the mysterious, sudden, and hopeless insurrection which has broken out in some parts of Poland. Why the present moment should have been fixed upon for such a hazardous undertaking, it is impossible, from our imperfect knowledge of events in that quarter, even to guess ; but, looking to every circumstance known to the public, and 'more especially to the state of the European powers, it would be difficult to point out any one of the numerous risings that have taken place in that oppressed country that held out such very small hopes of success as the present movement.. With the exception of the usual seve rities exercised by Russia in the kingdom of Warsaw, or what till lately bore that name, there dues not appear to have been any fl-esh acts of cruelty on the part of the Emperor NICIIOLAS, and it is not as serted, or even insinuated, that either Prussia or Austria, in whose portions of the partition territory the revolt has been made, had departed in any respect from the system they have long observed for subjecting the people to their dominion. There is, in fact, no apparent reason for this lamentable event, but on the contrary, all circumstances lead to the conviction that there never ties a time so inopportune for throwing off the yoke and defeating the three powers that for more than half a century have been in actual possession, and now regard Poland, as much their own as any of their most ancient hereditary dominions. These powers have all large standing armies, ab solutely idle (with the exception of the war of the Caucausus giving employment to a part of the Russian forces), they are on the best terms with each other, they have a common interest in the subjugation of Poland, and would exert their whole force against any power whatever that would attempt to interfere. And from what European power can the Poles expect aid? France, independent of the pacific disposition of the KING, is crippled by her African wars ; England is engaged in a serious war in the East, and may, in a brief period, have another still more serious in the West; remon strances and proteits can do nothing; they were of no avail in 1772-when the first great crime in the partition of Poland was committed, for the Courts of London, and Paris, and Stockholm, and-Copenhagen, then remonstrated, but CATHERINE only laughed at their remonstrances, and went on more intent in her purpose with the other predatory Sovereigns, to blot-out for ever from the map of Europe a country that once htid rendered the most invaluable services to Christendom. But even there is no time for England and France to do anything. Posen is only some hundred and a fifty miles from Berlin, Cracow, two hundred from Vienna, War saw is under the iron grasp of Russia, and what can all the nobles of the country, even if they , were unanimous, or an unarmed peasantry, still • enslaved to these very nobles, do against such fearful odds ? According to ac counts from Dresden, the Poles are in want of arms and ammunition,' having only three cannon taken from General Couwes detachment. The Provisional Government, nevertheless, continues to enrol men and priests —monks, old men end boys, help to swell their ranks, and even women arc said to have taken up arms, and been careering thrbugh the streets on horseback. The Provisional Government has proclaimed the abolition of servitude; declared that property shall be re spected and order maintained, and delivers passports to all who wish to leave the territory. But this pro clamation for the abrolitionof servitude comes too late. Ser vitude has too long prevailed; the spirit of liberty was found chiefly among the higher classes and the Polish army, and that army is now broken up, parcelled among the troops of the dominant 'powers, or banished to distant lands, to keep in subjection other nations who know as little of the blessings of freedom as the unhappy Poles. There is not the slightest hope that the insurrection in the Prussian and Austrian • States will last for ten days, and Russia is taking care that the insurgents in these states shall have no assistance from Warsaw. "Prince PAMlR wrrscu," a letter states, " had given orders for numerous arrests at Warsaw and in other parts of Poland. The people of Warsaw are in a state of apprehension difficult to de scribe. Every one seems to be still under the impression of the terrible threats issued by the EMPEROR to the municipa lity in 1843. The troops are confined to their barracks, and sleep in their uniforms with their arms by their sides." We can, therefore, expect nothing from Poland but accounts of disasters and defeats, of arrests and perpetual banishment, and endless executions; and what renders even these still more distressing is the fact, that this partial outbreak will only afford the oppressors additional reasons for binding more strongly the fetters of this gallant people. BONAPARTE committed many great crimes, and many political blunders ; but one of his greatest was his cruel and ungrateful treatment of Poland. A word of his could have made Poland free, and established her as a bar rier against Russia, but for temporary advantages he yielded to the solicitations of Austria and Prussia, and left the country of PoritaTowskt, who served him so well, still the laud of slaves. Thanks to that feeling of utter hopelessness which inva riably succeeds desperation, th.i protectionists are at length' to all appearance, becoming cognizant of their true position. They have thrown their poisoned but innocuous javelins about like madmen—their quiver is exhausted—they are subsiding into sullenness, if not into resignation. For their sakes, for the country's, for the Ministers, we are rejoiced at this - alteration in their behaviour. By a pertinacious silence they may yet redeem themselves in the estimation of the people. Indeed, so satisfied are we with the unwonted expedition of Friday night's discussion, that we are fain to hope that no further opposition of any real im portance will serve to revive the obloquy which has been hitherto attached to the agricultural Members, or to retard, in any essential particular, the progress of the Goveriunent measures. Un doubtedly the amendment introduced by Mr. W. 0. STANLEY, that " in lieu of the chilies now payable on the importation of corn, grain, meal, or flour, the product of foreign countries, there shall be paid a fixed duty of 54. per quarter upon wheat, 2s. 6d. upon barley, and 2s. upon oats ; meal and flour in proportion r and the proposition made by Mr. M. Mums, that all words in the resolution respecting the impor tation of corn, referring to the cessation or alteration of duties to be paid in the year, 1849, be omit ted, were b o th o f them vexat i ous amen d men t s enoug h in themselves. But so rapidly were they rejected, and so speedily did the representatives enter into a more practical settlement of lr o a f s a i n nyre cus g t r o a m tlil s ca ci t u iz i a on t theiyh which k he consideration . of the Acts propounded by Sir ROBERT, that no time is allowed us for regret. We are filled only with liamentary spirit seems to prefigure . Maize and buck -wh 4 ea; and rice were severally disposed of on Friday evening ; the t s l e i n e se Co o r f n resolutions relating to grain were put, agreed to, and ordered to be reported; and altogether, there appears to be a general disposition to expedite matters, as much and as universally as routine will permit. This is precisely as things should be : the merits and demerits of the proposed alterations have been debated fully and thoroughly; it only remains now to deliver in votes with all quietude and propriety. We re member that, somewhere about the middle of the great twelve night's discussion, Mr. DISRAELI demanded the generous leniency of Parliament to " a fallen party," in other words, he requested the patient attention of the majority while that fallen party uttered their " stale, flat, and unprofitable" fribbles. That leniency, that patience has been shown in an extraordinary degree by Parliament, as well as by the spec tators out of doors. The various Skull° Perna of protec tion have strutted forth before their brother representatives, talking very largely, indeed, about their " subjects "—those subjects being, in fact, like the subjects of SANCHO, abso lutely—nothing. They have repeated and re-repeated each other's observations over and over again, both to their own and everybody else's satiety. They have read long extracts (always irrelevant to the matter under examination) from Hansard ; they have blundered over the simplest rules Of arithmetic, and drawled out lines of miserably hackneyed verse, and yet, notwithstanding all these provo cations of disgust, and incitements to impatience, the free-trade legislators and the free-trade populace have submitted quietly to the infliction : they have listened to everything uttered by those dismal gentlemen with the most heroic self-command. For this concession the protectionists should feel some sentiments (however small) of gratitude : they should, in all honest seriousness, perceive the temporary self-sacrifice made by the country and the Legislature in sheer compassion for their own short-sightedness. Thanks, however, to the f act that nothing sublunary can last for ever, the agricul tural cry has been gradually dying away into a fitful and smothered whisper. Though SHAKSPERE has kindly informed us that " the cat will mew, the dog will have his day," we invariably derive a solace from that announcement, in its very ostensible sequitur, that sooner or later, that "mew" and "day" must both termi nate. Precisely does this comforting consideration tally with the outburst of Ur. Mruzs and his followers : the squirrel has revolved round and round in its monotonous and harmless course—the inoffensive creature is exhausted by its own exertions—the barrel-cage stops, and the little animal is at rest. This is exactly the career of the protectionist agitation epitomized. It may start forth again for a moment, to amuse the spectators by its super fluous evolutions; but, for all practical purposes, monopoly is concluded henceforth. Let his Grace of RICHMOND raise a monument to its memory; let the Member for Bristol deliver its funeral oration ; the epitaph might be judiciously resigned to the hand and the imagination of Mr. BENJAMIN Drsakzu. We understand that a public meeting is to be held to morrow (Tuesday) evening, at Investigation Hall, Circus street, New-road, to receive the Report of the Deputation of the Ratepayers of Marylebone to the Vestry of that parish, on behalf of the unemployed and destitute poor, and to con sider the necessity of establishing a Poor Man's Guardian So- ciety. Our readers are aware that for some time past differences have existed between the Marylebone Vestry and the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject of the erection of district asylums for the houseless poor. The deputation alluded to, while agreeing with the Vestry in their resistance to the orders of the Poor-law Commissioners, consider that the erection of some asylum for the houseless poor is neces • sary, and have presented a memorial to the Vestry to that effect, the answer to which will be read at the meeting. The object of the establishment of a Poor Man's Guardian Society is to secure to the poor man those rights which are already guaranteed to him by law, so as to insure the hu mane dispensation of parochial relief, and to protect the unemployed poor against the exercise of harsh and oppressive conduct. The recent " bone-crushing" re velations afford ample proof that some such so ciety is wanted for the protection of the poor. We doubt not but that the meeting will be well attended, but we would particularly impress upon the poor themselves the necessity of being present. 'They can render most useful assistance in the formation of the Guardian Society; and, moreover, they will be enabled to obtain distinct and accu rate information as to the rights which the law gives them, a matter on which at present tine fear too many of them are wofully ignorant. We have received Madrid journals of the Ist inst. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the preceding . day, Senor Morn, the late Finance Minister, spoke against several measures introduced by the new Ministry, and more especially against the Bill relative to public worship and the clergy, which he considered caculated to prevent a settlement of the differ ences with :Rome. There is evidently now a strong Opposition party in the Chamber, encouraged by NARVAEZ and the QUEEN-MOTHER. Nearly all private accounts agree in stating that the Ministry cannot last, and thaPthese two arch-intriguers will never rest till they have a Ministry entirely obedient to their will. On the 28th ult. the Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 304 at 60 days; and. the Five per Cents. at 21 at 60 days. The Paris papers are much occupied with the affairs of Poland, and several of them have articles also on the Oregon question. On the latter subject they in general do justice to the p.lcitic views of England, which, indeed, cannot pos sibly be doubted. The Courrier Francais, not over friendly to this country, states the case very fairly, if we except the last paragraph. "Will England and the American Union de cide on running the disastrous chances of a war, in order to en sure the possession of the territory in dispute? Such is the question now - placed before the tribunal of public opinion at both sides of the Atlantic. We are happy to say that this tribunal is essentially pacific and conciliatory. In the United States, all the moderate men, and let us add, all honest ones, wish for peace. It appears to them exorbitant to refuse to England all right to the possession of a part of the Oregon, when this right has been formerly• recognised by the Government of the Union. They cannot comprehend how that which was yesterday admitted as an unanswerable claim, should be rejected to-day as a vain pretension ; and they do not hesitate to bliune that rapacious and boundless ambition which induces the American Government to refuse all arrangement, and to demand the whole of the Oregon. In England public opinion is decidedly in favour of peace, first, because the Oregon would be too dearly purchased by a war, and, next, and it is the principal motive, because the reforms proposed in the tariff would be inevitably retarded, and England be obliged to keep up her odious corn-laws, in case of a war. How in fact could financial reforms be effected in a time of war? Yet, however ardent may be on both sides the desire to maintain peace, means must be found to operate an amicable arrangement without hurting the pride of the two nations. This means, it was supposed, would he found in an arbitration. But now that this means is refused by one of the two parties, what issue remains to the parti sans of peace in the two countries? For our part we see but one. We believe that England. and the American Union will not succeed in coming to an agreement, except in de ciding to have recourse to the rules of public right, which they have both neglected in this affair. We believe that they will never be able to settle their dispute pacifically but by recoguisirg the insufficiency of their titles to the property of the territory in question, and in consequently leavint to the inhabitants of this territory their independence and the free disposal of themselves." Nearly all the papers express the greatest sympathy for the unfortunate Poles, but what can sympathy do, when there is no means of relief; and the Poles, without looking to the consequences, have placed themselves entirely at the mercy of their oppressors? We have no details that can be de pended upon later than those published in The Sun of Satur day, but a few extracts from the papers, which will be read with melancholy interest. The following melancholy pic ture, which is but too true, appears in the Constitutionnet After adverting to the different fruitless attempts made by Poland to recover her independence, it adds : " Europe presents a sad spectacle. From the extremity of Italy to Warsaw oppressed nations are in movement through despair; and the old Governments employ no other means of imposing obedience than musket-shots, imprisonment, and the executioner. The king dom of Naples and the Roman States have lately witnessed san guinary executions. Lucerne is a vast prison, after having been a field of battle. Russia, Austria, and Prussia advance their soldiers to invelope the Polish insurrection, and to sprinkle with a generous blood the divided provinces. Such are the results of the pretended Conservative policy which prevails in Europe. The Governments, a moment frightened by the popular movements produced by the revolution of 1530, soon re covered their peace of mind when the revolt was put down. They forgot that intestine wars are never terminated by force, and that in this sense there never are decisive victories. Arrangements alone reconcile nations that have risen, even with a triumphant power. To govern is to enter into arrangements. But the European Govern ments, with the exception perhaps of Prussia, appear more opposed than ever to all arrangement. Everywhere despotism has be come more oppressive and more intolerant. Rome, far from keeping her promises, still recent, demands the extradition of those unfortunate men that aimed at obtaining a moderate liberty ; the Jesuits divide Switzerland; Austria sends to the Pontifical Go vernment counsels of despotism, and to the ultra - montane party of Switzerland counsels o f reac tio n; th e Emperor of Russia has waged war, not only on the remnants of the Polish n ation, but on family affections, remembr a nc e s, creeds, and consciences. The French Government, which represented on the Continent liberal and moderate ideas, and whi c h o ug ht to defend them , has com pletely abandoned Its mission. It has become conservative, ultra montane, reactive, as it is possible to be in France. It makes com mon cause with the European conservatives, who refuse all arrange ments, and struggle aga i ns t a ll progress, Is it surprising that under the influence of this p o li c y, o ft en oppres sive, always unintelligent, several states of Germany are in movement for religious or political forms ; that the Italians and the Poles encounter death to escape from an insupportable tyranny ; and that Switzerland is perpetually torn by civil war? In Poland much blood is about to be shed. Do the old Governments, which are about to spill it, believe that they will there drown liberty, and that they will be dispensed with entering some day into arrangments with her?" " Whatever may be the result of this insurrection (says the Na tional), all Europe will deem it holy, heroic, sublime.- Martyrs may be made, but there will be no criminals. All those who do honour to a ievoted love hf country—all those who bear hatred to savage despotism—will grant their warmest sympathies to those noble strueglee of a people whom overpowering numbers may crush, whom 'violence may decimate, but who will ever confine to protest agahit the wrongs done to them ; who, though beaten down and bleeding, will still look in proud disdain upon those pretended free Govennnents who cowardly look on and see a noble nation mas sacred." The Courier Francais calls upon England and France to interfere: • 7 - " Already attempts arc - made to disseminate calumny in order to divert the interest which the freemen of Europe must take in the people who hove been so cruelly persecuted, op preset, mid dismem bered, but whose vitality has resisted all the zeta of tyranny exer cised upon it. Endeavours haveleen made by perfidious trantdations to pervent into COMmuniSm a proclamation, which the Journal de FranAivrt, that Russian organ, fenders more justly: "rho Bucklers hair° not been raised, eitlier in tifenan.e of a religion or in the name of any political opinion, but in the name of the freedom of Poland.' Can it be believed that if Comminisen was in view, the insurricuts would call for a Cortstltutiofial Kin ? Can it be believed that Prussia would look upon this movement with so little disquietude ? Can it be be lieved that this uprising would have become general from the Baltic to the Black Sea Do nol caluru - nlate a whole nation, in order that you may create an excuse - for bt eteklug the solemn engagements which you have entered Into to support It I Are you already seeking pretexts for not performing yOur solemn Obligations towards it?

Pretexts ! You may find a thousand petty excuses for not acting—but for acting there is one sovereign reason—the liberty of Poland 1 Make your election, but do not calumniate If this nation must perish, let it at leaSt fall is all the integrity of its heroism ! You tell us, ihrther, that this universal rise in Poland had no con sistency —no chance of success You, fine boasters of generosity and heroism, would no doubt grant the Poles aid and protection if they had no need of you. Whether they triumph or fall, you will not have been the less guilty—you will not the less have been traitors to your declarations—to your oaths. Twenty millions of men await their deliverance, France and England, who are inter ested in this formation of a constitutional nation, have only to inove a step, and Poland would live. Will France and England wait until Poland shall be crashed between the two tyrannies that press it down—Austria and Russia ?" The following ate miscellaneous extracts from the papers:— " The Toutonnais states that ono of the Princes of Saxe-Coburg will accompany the Duke d'Aumale to Algeria. The report that the Duke de Montpensier was to accompany his brother is, says the Toulonnais, unfounded. The Albatross is to convey the two Princes to Algiers. " The Courtier Fratt.cais has opened a subscription for the Insur gents of Cracow, and placed itself at the head for 200 f. It has been announced that the Bishop of Gnesen, M. Dombrowski, has been arrested. The name of this prelate is Brodziszewski, and he has not b6en arrested ; but we learn that a young Polish noble man, Count Dombrowski, son of the illustrious general of that name, who commanded the Polish legions Ia Italy, has been arrested and placed au secret. The arrests already made in Galicia and in the Duchy of Posen automat, it is said, to more than one thousand, all beipnging to the nobility and clergy. The Univers states that it has received intelligence from a cor respondent that two regiments of the Austrian army, but composed entirely of Poles, stationed in Gallicia, have joined the insurgents. Of all the ehiefs of the revolution et 1830, the only one named as having taken a lead in this new movement is General JosephSzembek. " The Cologne Gazette, of the sth, states that on the 27th ult. the rebels of Cracow were masters of the surrounding country to the dis tance of fifteen German miles, but it appears by a letter from Vienna of the 28th, that the Austrian force concentrated at Wadowize was daily receiving reinforcements, and would be in a state to assume the offensive by the Bth.

We last week were enabled to convey to our readers in the city, by nine o'clock on Saturday morning, the result of the division of that morning, which took place at a quarter to three o'clock. For this we were indebted to the extraor dinary exertions of the proprietor of " THE Sox," from whom we received a paper by express at half-past eight o'clock that morning. The messenger started by an express train from London at half-past four o'clock, and distributed down the line to Yarmouth 500 copies of that journal. The public as well as ourselves, are much indebted to the proprietor of " THE SUN " for the enterprise and spirit with which that journal is conducted, particularly on occasions of such vital interest to the nation as the late discussion on the corn-laws- (From the Yorkshireman.) "THE SUN" AND " MORNLNG HERALD" NEWSPAPERS.— On Saturday last editions of these newspapers, containing the conclusion of the debate and the division on the corn-law question, was received in this city, abort one o'clock, and also, in proportion, at an equally early hour, in the provin cial towns of the north of England by extraordinary ex presses.

At the Jamaica Coffee- house regular files of the West India papers have been received this morning. The Morning Journal of Jamaica states:— " That the Coolie emigration to the Mauritius, if it has not already amounted to an absolute failure, has inflicted injury upon that colony, and is likely to lead to much more." From accounts that have reached us, we arc very much in clined to believe that something like jealousy dictated the remarks quoted just now, as it is well known that the Hill Coolies prefer emigrating to the Mauritius, rather than to the West Indies. The Jamaica planters have taken moans, it is stated, of obtaining labourers from the Madeiras. " For," says the paper already quoted,: " every Coolie brought into Jamaica will cost us at least twice as much for importation and reconveyance back to India as the Mauritius have to pay for theirs. And will any one pretend to say that at the end of the given number of years we shall find ourselves, with reference to insufficiency of labour, useless expenditure and debt, in precisely the same condition as the people of the Mauritius. To the importa tion of a certain number of Coolies we stand pledged; and so far we must incur useless expense." These remarks probably are made upon the pretty well ascertained fact that the new free population of the West Indies have taken a lesson of industry and perseverance out of the "book" of the Coolies, and are more ready to work than heretofore. They don't like to see "foreigners," as they are called, taking away so much mone 4 y for their labour. The Funtis have fluctuated but slightly to-day. The Con sols for the Account have varied only from 95% to 96%, and for Transfer from 95 to 95%.

Since this day se'nnight, up to Saturday evening, the receipts of English Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, were on a very moderate scale—viz., about 4,503 guar ters,; while the receipts of Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were also on a very moderate scale. Of Irish and Scotch grain the supply was small, and by no means adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. However, the imports of Foreign Wheat and Flour, as well as most other articles (nearly, or quite, the whole of which have been landed in bond), were on a full average scale, the time of year con sidered. Fresh up very little English Wheat came to hand from any quarter, consequently the show of samples of that article was limited ; owing to which, and the increased attendance of both town and country millers—most of whom appeared short of stock—the trade was firm, at higher prices. We quote the finest qualities of White two shillings, and the secondary parcels one shilling, higher. As to red Wheat, the sale for it was not quite so active, yet the currencies improved Is per quarter, and very few parcels of any description re mained unsold at the close of business. The general condition of the Wheats was tolerably good, though, of course, several weathered parcels were on offer. As very little foreign Wheat has passed the Customs for home consumption during the present year, there was a great scarcity of that article here this morning, since the holders were again firm, and would not sell, except at high prices ; as those were submitted to in in very few instances, we can make no altera tion in our general figures ; yet the trade may be considered a steady one. For Corn under ,lock there were several speculative inquiries, but the high prices demanded by the importers prevented much business from being transacted, yet the rates.were quite as high as last week. We had a very large supply of English Barley on show. Malting qualities were, therefore, in good request, and the turn dearer ; and the value of grinding and distilling sorts was well supported. The arrivals of Malt have been on a moderate scale since Monday last. Ware parcels moved of freely, and prices were well sustained. In other kinds of Malt comparatively little was doing. Only about 12,000 qua - ters of Oats—including the foreign supplies—have come to hand. Nearly the whole of the late large supplies from Ireland having been disposed of, the quantity on sale to-day, was small, Superior sweet qualities .commanded a firm inquiry, at a trifle more money ; while the middling and inferior kinds were quite as dear, with a steady Inquiry. We understand the supplies on their way hither from Ireland are comparatively small. Beans, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates. Although the quantity of Peas on offer was net to say large, the in quiry for them was heavy, at previous quotations. Flour dull, yet prices were firmly maintained.

The past week's imports of live stock into the metropolis have been moderately good, viz., 30 Oxen and 119 sheep from Rotterdam, GO Cows from Harlingen ; and 70 Oxen and Cows from other Dutch ports, in, for the most part, fair average condition. We had on offer 220 Oxen and Cows, together with 190 Sheep, recently arrived• from the Contixent. For most qualities of each discription of foreign stock the demand was steady, and prices had an upward tendency. The bullock droves from our own grazing districts, fresh up this morn ing, were very small, yet there was a great improvement in qnality,. especially in that of the Short Horns from Norfolk. Ilse atten dance of buyers being somewhat numerous, the Beef trade was steady, at, in most transactions, an advance in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of 2d per 8 lbs., the very primest sorts producing 4s 6d per Sibs., and at which a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex. and Cambridgeshire we received 950 Scots, home-breds and short-horns ; from the northern counties, 300 short-horns ; from the western and midland districts, 500 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 250 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 80 Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again limited, however the sale for them was active, at Friday's enhanced quotations, the primest old Downs selling readily at 5s 8d per Sibs. There were about 2,500 shorn sheep in the market, which were disposed of at 8d per Ribs beneath those in the wool. From the Isle of Wight 19 Lambs came to hand per railway. The Lamb trade may be considered steady, at prices varying from 5s 8d to 7s per 81bs. The supply of Calves was small, while the Veal trade was firm, at Friday's .prices. Pigs moved off freely, and last week's quotations were well supported.

The supplies of London•lEilled meat have been but moderate, owing to which the general demand has ruled firm, and, in some instances, the quota tions have had an upward tendency. About 30 carcases of Dutch Beasts and 60 ditto of Sheep have found buyers, at full prices. The former carried a large quantity of infernal fat, but the latter were somewhat different in that respect.

This Committee met again to-day, in Room No. 7; Mr. Strutt, chairman. LONDON, V7.11/LVt7=CE, LEAPIUSIGTON, ANn 7:IDDEIZMINSTER.. This case, which was part heard on Friday, was resumed. Mr. COATES appeared for the promoters. Mr, ELLICOMBE, jun., conducted the case for the opponents. Several allegations against the plans and sections were submitted. A. few of them were sustained, and others abandoned. The most important allegations against the line were to the effect that the gfadients were not properly marked in figures, in one case in a distance of 22 miles, and in another in a dis tance of 42 miles. Mr. COATES argued against the allegations, but The Committee decided the allegations to be sustained. Mr. ELLICOMBE abandoned several similar allegations, in consequence of their not having been properly stated in the petition. Where the allegation was against public roads not being shown, the petition merely said that "in the following cases the P. R. is not properly marked on the plan." The CHAIRMAN decided that such allegations were per-, fectly unintelligible, inasmuch as P. R. might be read for private roads. A few other allegations were abandoned and some ad mitted. The case was then gone throuh and The CHAIRMAN said the standing orders had been complied with, except in a few instances. Sub-Committee No. 6.
