- - ELECTION INT D SH L lELIGENCE. HERTFORRE. The nomination of candidates for Hertfordshire took I ' place yesterday. The hustings were erectsd in a field 1 of the town of Hertford,and most rertfh9e vicinity ct accommodation was afforded to the spectators and the press. A number of ladies occupied vans de corated with green branches and wreaths of flowers, and the humbler classes of electors and non-electors were spread over the adjoining fields. The candidates, • attended by their supporters on horseback and foot, ar rived at the hustings about half-past ten o'clock. Both parties entered the field with bands playing and colours flying. The Free-traders displayed as their colours deep.blae and orange, on which were inscribed Trevor, Bosanquet, and Faller, the flag• staff being in some cases surmounted liy a loaf of monster proportions. Light blue was the colour of their opponents, and the banners bore the names of Halsey, Meux, and Lytton. When both parties had occupied the positions assigned to them the , tout ensemble was, extremely picturesque, and the natural beauty of the surrounding district enhanced very ranch the general fea'ures of the scene. The High-Sheriff (Wynn Ellis, Fhq.), having consi derately allowed about twenty minutes after the arrival , of the candidates for the explosion of public feeling, et- ' tempted to dhipeee of the preliminary prooeedinge. He was unable, however, to proceed, a contest for plates having arisen between the contending parties. 'rho horsemen of the Free-traders were excluded from the field by the cavalry of toe other side, and the Fre traders declared that they would not hear any speakers 1 until their friends were as well accom mo dated as their adversaries'. At length the Protectionist horsemen, amidst a shower of missiles, were forc ed to reCre ffom the front, and the area near the husticgs was thus cleared for the people on foot. been disposed of, in , h y The preliminary proceedings e Halsey as a fit Mr. R.

RADCLIFFE prepesed Lir. and proper person to repr esent the county,— (Hisses and cheers.) i Mr. BIGG seconded the p-vonosition — -, Mr. LIONEL AIMES proposed, and Mr. WILTSHIRE seconded Mr. Trevor. The Hon. ROBERT GBIMSTON proposed, and Mr. WYM.LN seconded Sir Henry Melia. The proposition, w as received with l ou d cr i es o f " Lower the re nts." proposed, and Mr. ROBERTS Baron DixsDALE seconded Sir E. Bulwer Lytton. Captain TOWNSHEND, zp., proposed, and Mr. G. MARTEN seconded Mr. Bosanquet. The Hon. W. CowBER, M.P e proposed, and Mr. R . HAN-BURY seconaed Mr. Pull er . Tw e several candidates then addressed the electors amidst a scene of great uproar. The interruption during the speeches of Sir E. B. Lytton and Mr. Puller was so great, that the former had to descend from the hustings to the reporters' table, for the purpose of obtaining a hearing; and the latter, for half an hour, stood in the front of the hustings, unable to obtain a hearing, whilst a series of boxing matches took place in the crowd. Mr. Efsh.sev then stood forward to adprees the elec tors. He was received with a good deal of cheering from his own supporters, mingled with groans and disappro bation from the friends of the Liberal candidates. He said that when he appeared before the electors of Hert fordshire, some years ago, to solicit their suffrages, he told them virtually what his political opinions were, and he defied any one of his supporters to point to any act or trot ,, of his in Parliament to show that he had de ceived them in the smallest particular. Notwithstanding w h a t had taken p lace at the commencement cf the pro ceedings, and the unfair manner in which his :supporters h a d been treated, and the violence they had received, he had no fear to stand before his opponents and declare that be had done his duty as the representalice of the county of Herts.—(Cheers.) He therefore felt that he had good ground far claiming their support on the pre sent occasion, and if they returned him as their repre sentative he should perform his duty in the same fear less and independent manner that he had hitherto done. --(Cheers.) At the present moment there were two or three topics in agitation that rzere of very ' interest. [Here there was a goo d deal of ;great - 4 fusion in the crowd, and the High Sheriff was obliged to interfere.] The fir s t ques ti on he should refer to way what was called free trade; and it Was said by his oppo nents that he had become a Free-trader. vie begged to say that he had not in the sli'htest dcgrae changed his opinions as t o th e po li cy or impolicy of the system of free trade.—(Hesr, hear.) If there were no Customs duties to protect the manufacturers—if they bad no Excise laws to weigh down the consumer, they would then have free trade fully carried out, and the only question would be whether it was good policy or not. While, however, he saw the agriculturist compelled to send his produc tions to the cheapest market, and while he was com pelled at the same time to pay a heavy tax upon many aricles he consumed, and was also prevented from grow ing particular crops which might be very profitable to him, he must express an opinion that the principle of free trade was not fully carried out, and that he had a right to complain. His opinion was that all classes ought to bo put upon a fair and equal footing; and he would say for the farmers of England that they would not be afraid of any competition, provided they were opposed to it upon equal terms. The Government of the Earl of Derby, he believed, was determined to put all classes upon an eqUil footing, and thus enable the farmer to supply that cheap loaf which they all talked abort so much. He had no wish to see a dear loaf, but he did desire that the farmer should be able to sell it cheap; and believing that the Government of the Earl of Derby would adopt measures that would have that effect, ha was prepared to give that Government his suppert.—(Cheers.) His opponents on the present cc casion did not appear to take an interest in any other gueetion than that of free trade; but it did appear to him that the preervation of the Protestant institutions oft pc tuntry C this moment was a subjeti; of at least rqu importance. No man was a greater advocate of religious toleration than hirnsen; but he would at the 831 LP time tithe care that, toleration did not degenerate into license, that they did not give a license to taste who declared tigtiri3t all toleration ae a ein. and who sought no thing short of complete supremacy. He therefore was pre pared to vote against the grant to Meynooth, bemuse he felt that it had not been kept by those ,vho received it. With regard to his honourahla opponents, though he had the utmost respect for them is their private cepecitien, he must conteas that he could not see anything in their public conclu.:t which could justify the electors in giving them the preference over hicoseit. His opponents calFd themselves Liberals, but be must confess that he could not understand the term. Every one knew what a Whig was.—(A. laugh.) It did puzzle him, however, to define the) meaning of a Liberal, nod he 84w by the newspapers that in the return of the general electi on moderate Con servatives and furious Radicals w ere all dp Liberals.—(A laugh.) Ho had be en told that he pGreopvare the gentlemen who acted with hi m on the present occa sion regarded reform as revolution ; b a t he wa s to contend that in tno few months Lord Derb y's meat had been in ofilee they had carried more usefuln measures of reform than the Whig Government had at tempted during their last s ix y ears o f o ffi ce. — ( H ear,) Mr. TREVOR next addressed the electors. He com menced by expressing his acknowl e d gmen t o f the courteous manner in which Sir Edward Lytton had al luded to him in his address, and said he was sure that o that • whatever the result of the present contest might be, it would nos in any manner alter tea friendly feelin had heretofore existed between them. At the *aeon time he said he felt compelled to state that it appeared to him his Hon. Opponent had rather too hastily come to the conclusion that he did no t i n t e nd again to offer himself to the electors, and being a nei g hbour he 'night v ery easily have celled upon him, and have ascertained what were his opinions with regard to the re presttaation of the county. Five years a g o he believed that his Hon, Friend intended to have offered himself as e candidate for the county, and he believed it WIS understood that he only refrained from doing so because he was given to ' understand that his opinions were somewhat iti advance of those ent er t a i n ed by the Liberal party, with whom he was then acting.—(A laugh.) He lead now thought fit to desert th a t party. fie wash sire Viet he was act ing conscientidusly, and that that alone induced him to desert his old friends and those Liberal views which, if avowed on the present occasion, he believed would have been the means of his being chaired through the town in triumph next Monday. The Hon. candidate then proceeded b r i e fly to state his political opinions, observing that he should oppose the grant to Maynooth, although, he said, at the same time he was of opinion that this cry about Maynooth had been got up solely for election purposes, and that it was inten ded to take the place of the Protection cry, which now, after six Years, was getting a goo d d ea l th e w orse for wear. , hear.) With regard to reforming the repre- B ntation, he would state that he sea s 0 atonce that he wasno Radical, hi the representative to any great and sudden changes expedienc ceive, with 3":° 'Tthsystem, and that his did not con as to the u t t h ballot, and that no case had e f ) gentlemen who supported him, yet been made out 7 t- : :;, . -shfy resorting to the un-English i a i i i v e declared ouey oof the to the present coultelact;c. system of secret vet'. t h h i e na se c l , f aatr favourable and said he had nu doubt tha would answer in a very t d t i ted electors of the country, propounded to them b.

He said h 9 h a d so frequently avowed his political opi n i ons to the e lectors that he had very little to say upon the present occas ion, and he could declare that he had never up on - any occesion g iven a vote whic h was not in aeorclanc - , e tied with those opinions; - certainty anon every motion calculated to benefit the agricultural interest he bad gv&l:i his support. Having referred to th e votes i always he had eiven upon several subjects,. Sir 11. Meux pro. ceeded to state that he did not believe the Maynooth cry had been but I.lp for election purposes , bat that the excitement which prevailed in the public mind up on the subject was oecasioned by the letter written by Lord John Russell to the Bishop of Darlaara.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " (.), 0-") lie believed that the unwer ranteble attack aeon the. riathti of the Crown and the people of this country Ire the Ilieliop of I - Zorne had crestel the excitement in the pahlic mind; and a proof of the feeling that prevailed open the subjeci; appeared in the foct that out of sip candidates who were now be fore them, five at least declared that they should oppose the grant to Maynooth.

Before he pro ceeded to give any answer to matters that had been alluded to that were merely personal to himself, and consequently of the least importance, ho begged to be allowed to direct the attention of the electors to the im portant struggle that was going on at the present time in the country, and the true question which the country was required to give a decision upon. A small section of Whigs, under the Administration of Lord John Rus sell, had governed tho country for six years, and having suffered a stroke of purely sis in 1851, died of exhaustion in 1852. Lord John Russell then advised the Queen to send for Lord Derby, and he had formed an Ad ministration ; and the real question now was—first, whether Lord John's advice to his Queen was so insulting and so unfair that the country ought not to give Lord Derby a fair trial; and secondly, if that Government was displaced, what would be the sort of Government that would be likely to replace it. [Here t h er e was a great deal of noise and interruption.] Ile should be very glad to know, during the six years Lord John had been in office, what good he had done. Where was the reform, and where wts the progress under his Administration? Did he ever keep the few promisee I that be made when he first took office? At that time he talked of a lame measure of sanity reform. What had beeous of that? Lot the pest il ent i a l lanes and all e y s of the manufacturin g t owns and the metropolis give an answer. He repeated, what had Lord Jelin Russell done for the cause of progress and reform during his last Administration that rendered it unsafe to give the Go vernment of Lerd Derby a fair trial? He also p romised is liberal m easure o f e d uca tion for the people. and a re form of the courts of law and Chancery ; but instead of carrying out any of those measures, the measure of reforming the Court of Chancery actually could not be carried until the dead weight of the Whig Government was removed. It was said that the Whig Government bad carried the repeal of the window of by their assistance. [At assistance. I ried is spite of them instead tax, but it appeared to him that that measure was car proceedings there was a great deal and . the county police were o [ f A t noise this s a ta n g d e High Sheriff to utterer° and e called upon by the . emove himself particularly conspicuous in one man who made the crowd.] When order was somewhat restored, Sir Edward proceeded with his address. He said that his o c o f n s f h ; i o n , motto was justice. He wanted justice for all that and he asked for justice for the Government of Lord Derby. He wanted to know why men who called themselves Reformers could not give Lord Derby a trial? He knew of no cause, unless they thought that they had got so much reform from Lord John Russell that it was of no use to try any other Government.—(Hear, and a laugh) It appeared to him that at all events Lord John was a very great monopolist in one respect, namely, in mono polising office, and he had shown them that he had not carried out any one of the pledges he gave. He could not deny that Lord John Russell was a man of courage, eloquence, and genius, but no one could deny that he was pleased with the possession of power, and that he was actuated by the most restless impatience re gain it, and bit Administration s , instead of fhe to mg Liberal, resembled as much an 3 * oligarchy ..had ever been se e n in this country.—(No.) Why, it was a Government composed entirely of hi s families. Every office in it r h was filled by a Grey an d a R ussel l , or by one of their connexions. It put hi m i n mind p of a Chinese map, where the Celesti a l E mp i re was placed in thecorners. and all the rest o f t h e wor ld was placed in the middle, which were su pp ose d to b e abodes of perpetual dark: dark ness and ice and sn ow . Downine-s treetwas the Celes tial Empire of th e Whi gs . a nd the Radicals, and i Radical Reformers who assisted to keep them there i might depend that they would get nothing in return from the family faction. The Whigs had deceived their sup porters. and in the name of reform and progress he asked Reformers to give their assistance to Lord Derby's Government. Who or what was Lord Derby, that he should be regarded as the enemy of the people ? Was he 1 the same Mr. Stanley who, when he first went into Par liament, stood up night after night to speak in favour of the Reform Bill, end who principally assisted to carry the greatest measure of reform this country had i ever witnessed ? Was not the same Mr. Stanley also the opponent of slavery, and was it not chiefly owing to his noble exertions that at the present moment there was not a single slave in the British dominions? Why should any one imagine for a moment that such a man as this, when at the head of affairs, would do less for the cause of progress and reform than Lord John Russell? Sir Ed ward then proceeded to refer to the statement that had been made with regard to his having come for ward in 1847 as a Free-trader, and he said that it was not the face, and that Mr. Cowper, who was the chair man of his committee, could confirm him in this state ment; and, he asserted, that either in 1845 or 1847, if he had come forward at all, it would have been as a Protectionist.—(Cheers.) He admitted that, under the altered circumstances of the country that afterwards existed he changed his opinion upon the subject of the corn-law; but with regard to the assertion of Mr. Trevor that he had declined to come forward because his opinions were thought to be too much in advance of those enter tained by the Liberal electors of the county, he denied that this was the fact, and said that it was merely on the question of the corn-law, and because at that time the Free-tredurs and Liberal electors would not have felt themselves justified in supporting him, that he withdrew. After some further observations Sir Edward proceeded to state that he excepted from the condemnation he had expressed of the Whig Government two distinguished individuals—Lord Lansdowne, who had kept himself aloof from all those party transactions, and Lord Pal merston, whose talents and gallant spirit he said he hoped before long to see again in the service of the Crown as pert of the administration of Lord Derby. In conclusion, he said he hoped the electors would do their duty honestly and zsaleusly on this occasion, and he had no fear of the result of the contest. Mr. BOSINQI7ET nee . , addressed a brief speech to the electors, who by this time were becoming impatient and, noisy, the proceedin g s h av i n g occupied a great many hours in the burning. sun. The Hon. Candidate con fined his obtervatious principally to the subject of the repoal of the C32T,.!Air2, and seid that, although he was a large landed proprietor, he fhlt the great injustice of the Itax upon corn, and said he was certain that no such tax could in any shape be again imposed. Mr. PULLER then stood forward, but there was so much noise and c infusion that not a word he uttered could be heard. He co mplained with great warmth of the expressions mode use of by Mr. Grimston to the effect that upon the subject of his religious opinions he had been unmasked by Sir Culling Eardley, and he celled upon him to come forward and either retract th e statement, or „y u pon. what grounds he made it. Mr. GertisTos came to the front of the hustings, and amid great confusion said that he must decline to retract a single syllable he -d h. i d uttered. He alluded to th e correspondence that bad taken. place between Sir Culli ng and Mr. Puller, and he still adhered to his original statement. Mr. PULLER then said that as Mr. Grimstnn had de clined either to retract or to justify the assertion he had made, he would not waste another word upon that gn tleman. He cou ld not help observing, however, that before an attempt was m ade to insinuate that he was not friendly to the Protestant religion, because he refused to d , an act of injustice to their Roman Catholic brethren without inquiry, it would have been as well if the fact had not been forg otten that Lord Derby was the chief supporter of th e grant originally, when he was a mem ber o f Sir R. Peel's Government".—(Bear, and great in terrupt., • , ione The had not be e n told by any of the gentlemen who expressed themselves to be supporters fo Lord Derby whether he intended to propose the re peal of the grant.

JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND. A magnificent organ, destined for the above cathedral, has just been completed by Messrs. Robsons, of St. Martin's-lane, where, prior to its transmission across the Atlantic, a numerous and fashionable assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, including many amateurs and professors, have for several days past attended to hear its merits tested by Messrs. Rea, Noble. Pritchard, Nottingham, and other eminent artistes. Its immense powers (which will be readily conceived, when the di mensions are stated to be—height 26ft., width 22f.i., and depth 121 t.,) could not, in the confined space of the manufactory, produce •an effect equal to what will doubtless take place in the destined arena, a building 250 ft. long, 180 ft. wide, and 90't. high. The sound was grand, imposing, and harmonious, possessing great power and brilltanry, and, was pronounced to be a most successful effort, even for the present advanced stage of organ building. It has been built upon the latest im proved principle, and consists of three complete sets of manuals, each ranging from,C C to G in Alt, 56 notes. The pedal organ is of very extensive compass, being from CC C to F, 30 notes. Although the absence of a double reed in the manual is to be regretted, yet the choir is faultless, its delicate silvery tones forming a de cided contrast to the rich massive portion of the instru ment. The height of the case, which is of beautifully carved and highly polished oak, has been compressed to suit the construction of the cathedral, without dimi nishing its power or compass. It contains no less than 50 stops—viz., in the great organ 16, the swell organ, 13, choir organ 11, pedal organ 6, and copulas 4, for which the immense number of 2,856 pipes have been ap plied. The whole cost, amounting to 1,5001, has been defrayed by the Rev. Dr. Matlock, who presents this stupendous and brilliant instrument to the cathedral of St. John's, Newfoundland. JUL Y l6, 1852. ShPriff, which was seconded by Sir JOHN TROLLOPS, and carried by acclamation. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Three Members were elected for this county, at the Coanty Court, Cambridge. There was no opposition, and the audience was but a small one. The High She riff, W. C. Hamon d, Esq., presided. jun. (Hatley-park), after high eulogy . of o S f r. th QTi e u e l m N ine N' eminent talents of Mr. Yorke, announced himself as a staunch Protectionist, and said that he did not believe that the " epoch of the age" would ever arrive which would justify the adoption of what was called free trade by this country. He believed the con stitution of the world to be such—and that we had pro gressed into an artificial state, from which we could never relieve ourselves—that we could never return to what might be looked upon as a system of barter. After some allusions to Sir James Graham, and his having coquetted with so many constituencies, Mr. St. Quintin alluded to the Hon. Baronet's late speech, wherein he cl , clared he should endeavour to do his best as an independent Member of Parliament, or in any position to which his Sovereign might call him, and said he trusted that her Majesty would never allow the Netherby baronet to coquette with her Crown and dig nity. Mr. St. Quintin expressed his entire confidence in the Earl of Derby, saying he had always expressed and maintained the same opinions, both in and out of power; and he had no doubt that when he found that heldieg the would resign it. Mr. St.he latter no longer tend e d t o th e benefit of his count r y , Quiatin concluded by pro posing the Hon. Eliot Tho m a s Yorke. Mr. H. MARTIN, of Littleport, seconded the nomi nation. It was his unchanged conviction that the pre sent system of free trade, if persevered in, would inevi tably work the ruin of the tenant-farmers. Mr. DOBEDE (Soham) proposed, and Mr. MARSHALL (Elm), seconded the nomination of Lord George J° l2ll Manners. Mr. H. D.

The arrival of the fortnightly Californian mail with the more than average sum of 500,0001., had in. creased the prevailing confidence, and all descriptions of securities!were well maintained. The 30th of June being the close of the financial • yearin the United States, a table had been published in the Journal of Commerce of the imports of manufactured goods into New York during the past twelvemonths, the total being 57,221,062 dolls., against 64,613,747 dolls. in the preceding year A falling off was consequentlyshown of 7.392,685 dolls., or 1,4p0 0001., which had occurred chiefly since the Ist of January. Under these circumstances, stocks were low, and a good trade was expected. The pro spects of the harvest were also very favourable. Rail road bonds con , inued to be issued in large quantities, and the amount put upon the New York market during the last five or six weeks had been about 800,0001. Those of lines in fair repute were, however, still readily taken. The particulars of the treaty arranged between the United States, Great Britain, Costa Rica, and Nica ragua, for the settlement of the Mosquito and otber boundary questions, had just transpired. The Mosquito territory is to be pushed back northward from the San Juan to the rivers . Rama and Segovia, and the King is to receive in consideration the net proceeds of an import duty of 10 per cent, ad valorem, to be levied at Greytown for three years. Any existing grants of land within the ceded district are to bo recognized provided they shall not interfere with the privileges of the Ship Canal Company. Greytown is to be under the authority of Nicaragua, hut no tonnage or im port duties are to be levied on vessels or goods in tended for transit across the isthmus or for con sumption in any other State. Dues may be levied for lighthouses, &c, but are in no case to exceed twelve cents (sixpence) per ton. The boundaries between Nica ragua and Costa Rica are to begin on the south side of the Colorado from its mouth on the. Caribbean Sea to its confluence with the San Juan, and to proceed thence along the south bank of the San Juan and Lake Nice ragua till it reaches that part of the strip of land be tween the lake and the Pacific nearest to the river La Flor, which flows into that ocean and to the mouth of which a straight line is to be drawn. Costa Rica is to enjoy in common with Nicaragua the right to navigate the Colorado,. the San Juan, and the lake by any vessels excepting steamers, subject to the paramount right of the Canal Company to appro priate, these waters in .any way they m ay find neces sary. It is also stipulated that the Canal Company are to have the privilege of locating on the south bank of the San Juan four of their eight sections of land, and that neither Nicaragua nor Costa Rica shall ereot any works or in any way interfere either with the rivers or the harbour of Greytown so as. to obstruct that company or the Accessory Transit Company- The next clause fixes 25 miles from the termini of the canal on the At lantic and the Pacific as the-distances to be exempt during war from blockade, detention, or capture for ves sels of the United States and Great Britain. An exten sion of a year is allowed to the Canal Company beyond the original period. fixed .for its commencement; and, finally , the protection of the United States and Great Britain is guaranteed to that body for the maintenance of all their privileges as well as those of the Accessory Transit Company. From Mexico the dates were to the Bth of June (a fortnight later than those previously received), and pre sented. a remarkable picture of.a Government in the last stage of decay. Congress had adjourned on the 21st of May, without making any provision for carrying on the public service during the recess, and when at the last moment the Executive made a demand far extraordinary powers for that purpose, it was refused by a large ma jority. No steps had been taken towards paying the July dividend on the foreign debt, and though the Chamber of Deputies had persisted in voting the aboli tion of some of the prohibitory import duties, the Senate had been equally stubborn on the opposite side. The tobacco monopoly had also been left without any alteration. Atter these events the Government had sent orders to the custom-house at Vera Cruz and Mazatlan to pay no claims, and to hold in specie at its disposal all receipts. Under these circumstances, rumours were rife of an intended coup d'etat on the part of the President Arista—an act which many of the leading merchants and others would have been prepared to welcome but for the belief that Arista, without Santa Anna's energy, possesses all his foibles..and want of honesty, and that, conse quently, nothing co u ld a rise from it but a succession o f similar revolutio ns . At present the country was virtually without any rule whatever, since at Vera Cruz the muni cipal authorities had been compelled by the inhabitants to al low an importation of flour at reduced d uties in dire ct contradiction to the decision of Congress, while at Tampico projects were ent ertained of establishin g a tariff precisely similar to that of the United States, as a preliminary, by some artier,p it was be 'loved to a movement for annexation. With regard to commercial affairs at Mexico there was nothing new, The telegraph between the city and Vera Cruz heel bean completed, but was constantly-receiving SO much dam age as to ,be almost inefficient. Quick silver was still decliningeand a consider able q uantit y is said to hav e bee n o ffered at 35 dollars , delivered at the H avannab. From the Texian frontier the dates were to the 14th of June, taisce m but there had been no events of impor. .`u urders by the Mexicans and Indians and at temptedt reprisals by the Americans were still the chief topics. With regard to Ecuador, the following, from the Pa. it to u aStar, is the o nly piece of i nformation. Supposin g correct, it would appear that Peru has thrown off all disguise , disguise , and has dec isivel y joined Gen. Flores in 18 piratical attack "We are credibly informed that official information has been received in this•city, conveying the intelligence t i ., th at the Peruvian steam . co rvette Remac, General "' er ne, had arrived from Callao at Guayaquil, and that after , a consult Aiwa with Flores, the General returned to e „ —ft ee ll ane to make arrangements to come back again im mediately with a stronger force, to assist General We• are further informed Flores in' his present invasion . fr commence his attack a reliable source that General Flores will attacic on' Guayaquil as soon as the necessary 1188iS tinee arrives from Peru , a nd from what we can le arn w e shall soon have some very exciting intelligence in reference to this long-pending affair. The opinion is, that Flores, assisted by Peru, will have little difficulty i n making a conquest of Ecuador." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ja EPORT ON RAILWAYS BY THE SECRETARY OF THE RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE nOA.RD OF TRADE. captain i et Simmons, the Secretary, states that this re het n continuation of the annual reports ma d e b y how l Commissioners of Railways. It states , under the th e ' of "Increaser-of Railway Communication," that canon that has been made in the railway commu se great of this country in- the year 1851 has not been ce tsreat as in any of the preceding years since 1844. r rataencing from that period, there was a rapidly pro- L e h asi l'e increase in the number- of miles opened during es,„.Btlonessive year. This increase reached its maxi ' in 1848, in which year 1,182 miles of railway were ~ added to those previously opened for the conveyance of aritamengers. The yearly progress has, since 1848, been dr„!aPidly dii n i s hing, the number of miles opened which the last year having only amounted to 269, of Leo 174 n England, 9 - in Scotland, and 86 in Ireland, are i Ire 1-- '• The whole extent of railwa y communication open for traffic in the Un ited Kingdom at the end of 1851 was 6 ' 890 miles whi ch are distributed in the different parts of the kingdom in the following proportioMns:— iles.

It these lines willnever be constructed , • considerable portion of , In consequence of the' lapse of the powers conferred upon the companies. The returns.presented to Parliament show that the cowora, both for the compuls try purchase of the necessary land, and for the construction of the works, had ceased with out having been exercised with respect to 645 miles, and that the power% for the compulsory purchase of lands had been allo wed to expire previous to the end of 1850 (to which date the retutns have been made) , o a further ex tent of 571 miles, reducing the number of miles of railway not now opc n fur traffic, for making which the powers were in force at tee end of 1850, from 5,101 to 3,885. From a table given in the report it appears that the agereatre length of line opened previous to 1843 was 2,036 miles; during .1844, 204 miles; in 1845, 296 miles; in 1846, 606 milk; • in 1847, 803 miles; in 1848, 1,182 miles; in 1849, 869 miles; iu 1850, 625 miles; and in 1851, 269 miles. The total length of line opened to December, 1851, was 6 890 miles. The length of line authorised at the end of 1843, end during each subsequent year, amounted, in the aggregate, to 12,317 miles, from which must be deducted for decrease by abandonment, deviation, &c., 362 miles, leaving 11,99 1 miles authorised, of which 5,101 wiles remain to he opened. It appears that the powers for the compulsory purchase of the necessary lands have been allowed to expire during the year 1851 to a further extent el 2 418 miles. The other powers necessary to enable the companies to proceed with the consi ruction of these 2,418 miles, however, are still in force, so that if the land had been or could be purchased the companies might still construct the railways; the pro bability, however, is, that with respect to nearly th e whole of these railways the land has not been pur chased, and that the railways will. therefore, never be constructed under existing Acts of Parliament. If thi be so, it would appear that there do not remain more 1,500 miles tot the construction of which full Parliamentary powers are now in existence; and, as 12,317 miles were authorised by Parliament, 6,890 have been opened, and only 326 abandoned by the au thority of Parliament, it would appear that about. 3,600 miles have . been abandoned without the direct sanction of Parliament, and without a corresponding reduction by the authority of Parliament of the capital which the companies are empowered to raise for their construction. From the latest returns which ••have been presented to Parliament relative to the cepitel of railway companies, it appears that at the end ot• 1850 railway companies had raised, either by shares or loans, a sum equal to 240,270,746 L, and that they retained powers to raise a further sum of 122,431,9001. It appears, also, that at the same date there were 6,621 miles of railway communication open, 867 miles in course of construction, and 4,472 not then commenced. This sum of 122,431,9001. would, there fore, represent what remained of the capital authorised to be raised by Act of Parliament, to complete the 867 miles in course of construction, and the 4,472 miles not then commenced. But as it appears by what has preceded that 3,600 miles, the construction of which has been sanc tioned. by Parliament, have not been, and will probably never bn constructed under existing Acta of Parliament, it may reasonably be inferred that of this large sum of 122,431,900/. but a comparatively small proportion will ever be applied to the railway purposes to which, under the authority of Parliament, it was intended to be applied. The sums raised annually previous to the' year 1848 cannot be ascertained ; but since that period Parliament Jamie required re turns from the companies, from which it appears that the sums raised for railway purposes in 1848 amounted to 33,234,4181.; in 1849, to 29 574,720/. ; in 1850, to 1 0,522,967/. The returns of the sums raised during 1851 have not all, as yet, been received; and,there fore, the amount raised for the last year cannot be stated.- Correspondingly with this great diminution of expenditure upon works of this nature there has been, as it would appear from the returns presented to Parlia ment, a reduction in the number of persons employed upon railways to a very. great extent, nearly propor tionate, as might have been expected, to the reduction in the sums raised by the companies. It appears that the number of persons employed an making railways w as 15,947 less on the 30th of. June, 1851, than on the 29th of June, 1850, while the number employed on railways open for traffic has been increased by 3,589, showing the persons employed upon • railways to have been 12,358 fewer in 1851 than in 1850. From a comparative statement prepared with the view of exhibiting the fluctuations in the employment given by these extensive undertaking s , it appears th a t, on the let of May, 1847, there wer e 47 ,218 persons employed on rail. ways open for traffic, and 256,509 upon lines in course of construction; on the Ist of May, 1848, 52,688 persons were employed upon lines open for traffic, and 188,177 upon lines in course of construction; on the 30th of June, 1849, the number of persons employed upon rail ways open for traffic was 55,968, and upon lines in course•of construction, 103,816; on the 29th of June, 1850, 59,974 persons were employed on railways open for traffic, and 58,885 on 868 miles of railway in course of construction, and on the 30th of June, 1851, 63,563 were employed on railways open for traffic, and 42,938 on 734 miles of railway in course of construction. The annual increase of persons employed on railways was respectively 5,470, 3,280, 4,006, and 3,589; the total in crease between May, 1847, and June, 1851, being 16,345. The annual decrease of persons employed on railways in course•of construction was respectively 68,332, 84,361, 44,931nand 15.947, making the total decrease, between May, 1847, and June, 1851, 213,571. The general re sult shown by these tables is, that on the 30th of Jane, 1851, the number of persons employed upon railways, either in construction or working, was 197,226 less than at the corresponding period in 1847. It would appear, therefore, that in the interval which has elapsed, this number of persons, who must have been withdrawn from other industrial occupations in consequence of the great demand for labour created by the impetus given in 1845 and 1846 to the construction of railways, had been again absorbed in other occupations, and obtain a living by othei means. The reduction of labour, as divided between the three kingdoms, is as follows: - The number of persons employed on the 30th of June, 1851, is less than on the Ist of May, 1847,-In England and Wales, by 125,296; in Scotland. by 49,306; in Ireland, by 22,624; total diminution, 197,226. From this it will be seen that the cessation of railway works has fallen more especially upon Scotland, where the greatest pro pploarete. ionat T e h r e eduncumtier tion in of th persons employ e d i n eachc persons employed h as t a k en country on the 30th of June, 1851, was:-In England and Wales, 80,612; in SCotland, 8,802; in Ireland, 17,087; total, 106,501. of sorn O VERCROWDED STEAM BOATS .

He referred to the act of the 14th and 15th Victoria, c. 70, passed expressly to prevent that which was daily taking place on the Thames, to the imminent danger of life to all who, for business or pleasure, ventured on board. A person who embarked at Westminster, w h en there appeared to be moderate room, might be so jammed in a crowd picked up before the vessel quitted London bridge as not to be able to move, and, were it not for the fresh breeze of the river, scarcely able to breathe, for it was no uncommon sight t o behold 300 or 400 persona all huddled together in the fashion of oxen, and sheep, and pigs, in that market the name of which ewtotuhled Act,be soon e Board d ly n f h i T s troardicesiw.

Sir P. LAURIE said he had much pleasure in second ing the motion, the'objectof which was of such palpable use as not to require discussion. The Loan MAYOR thanked Alderman Wilson for having brought forward so important a question, and for having given such strong assurances of applying . himself' to tnescorrection of the . dangerous evil. The motion was then carried unanimously, and A ld e rm a n WILSON said that he would call the cow.
