Eo grant independent tion of smaller companies, an powers to them. P°le ln - this view of the matter, which, apart from other considerations, seriously affects the practicability of that scheme, your board aee mistaken in supposing that the directors of this company consider absolute amalgama tion of the two undertekings to be the only, or even the better mode, of attainicg that desirable result, viz, ces sation from costly strife and distracting disputes. On the contrary, it is our deliberate opinion that it would not be deemed consistent with the policy of the present times, to commit to the hands of one large com pany such an redivided control and power over the public traffic of nearly one-half of England, while the growing requirements of the trade of this country ne cessitate an extension, rather than the limitation, of means of accommodation upon existing railways. Such being the conviction of this board with respect to the views of the Legislature, involving consequently the rejection by Parliament of any Bill tor the absolute amalgamation of our two companies, even although guarded by some general protection to the public, you will not be surprised to find that we cannot consent to imperil the applications to Parliament in another session for carrying out cur existing agreements with the two Shrewsbury companies (epeeificaely alluded to in your letter to me), for which Bale have been already passed by the House of Commons, and which were only arrested at the end of the session in the Lords, by a standing order of that House, which has since been modified, and may at any time be suspended to meet a case of public necessity. 1 We are aware that your proposition professes to dea with that question, by suggesting that your company, es well as the Great 'Western Company have entered into agreements with the two Shrewsbury companies; that proprietors of those companies are to have the choice of either agreement, and that a Bill for such object is to proceed simultaneously with that for the general amal gamation of our two companies. Permit me to observe, however, that the effect of the proposition, as you have made it, would simply be to enable the London and North-Western Company to convert an offer, alleged to be made by them to certain parties acting in their interests, and connected with the two Shrewsbury companies, of nominally higher terms, but wholly inconsistent with the actual agreements previously entered into by those com panies, into an implied honourable engagement, which could thereby practically have the advantage of super seding the Great Western alliance, as it were, by consent —so that if Parliament should subsequently decline to sanction the amalgamation of our two companies upon public grounds, or if your shareholders should disagree to it, the proprietors of the Great Western Company would discover, when it was too late, that our agreement had been supplanted by yours, and that all the t raffic to or from places nor th o f W olverh ampton had been diverted from their railway over the London and North-Western lines, owing to our want of foresight, and having fallen into the mistake of adopting a proposition, to which it may be found impossible to give practical effect, and which would therefore prove suicidal to the interests of our company. These considerations must deter the _directors of this had nn acquaint a term s tyoius company from assenting to the gene_ ralconditions pro posed in your letter to me, evenif the upon which you offer t he amalg amat ion factory, which, howev er, I am re q uested to is by no means the case. We think it , f or obvious reasons, superfluous to dwell at present upon that topic, wh ich is merely a d verted to for the pur pose of guar d in g t he board f rom any sup posed acquiescence in the value, 'which your directors ap pear to assume in the proportions now current in the market; regardless of the fact that this company has not yet received from their northern lines a single pas senger or ton of goods, and bad scarce ly derived any a d va ntage from the S out h Wales line , only partially opened; although your own company have had for a long time the development and a l most exclusive advan tage over their lines of all the tr affic from the north of England and Ireland. It is to be remarked also, that your suggestion of con vening forthwith a Wherecliffe meeting to sanction the introduc:ion of an Ama lgamation Bill into the House of Lords, is quite inconsistent with the ter ms o f the stand ing., to orderiue - lf, which r equ i res t h e su b m i ss i on o f th e H nl o n use o the . Common:;;?eting, as it may h ave b een amen ded in the and this would leave it quite open to your proprietors to refuse the approval of the Bill in such amended form, if from any cause they shall con sider that the main object of destroying our Shrews bury alliance had been already attained, or that it would be otherwise prejudicial to their interests to proceed with the Bill, upon such submission of it at a Wharn cliffe meeting. Having thus represented to you the precise grounds why this board cannot, under existing circumstances, adopt the scheme for an absolute union cf interests, at all events unless it be accompanied by positive security against the evil consequences apprehended by us, and upon terms more equitable to the proprietors of this company, I am requested to assure you that the direc tors are perfectly willing and ready to enter into an amicable arrangement upon some other conditons, which may be mutually and equally protective and advanta genus to both ceeepanies. 1. We submit ti:at this may bo accomplished most se curely by undertaking that all opposition shall cease on both sides to the performance of actual agreements into which either company may have entered, the bona fides of which, in case of dispute, may be decided by an amicable suit in a Court cf Equity, on condition that equal charges, within the rates prescribed by Parliament, for all traffic to or from places to which both companies shall convey passengers or goods by the two independent systems, sisal! be agreed upon, and that no obstruction or impediment shall be given by either company to the public desirous of using tha railway of the other company. 2. That, if the London and North-Western Company should desire it, sotne fixed appointment between the respective companies of the ne:t proceeds of all such traffic, after making a fail and liberal allowance for the cost of managing and eieveyieg it, shall be determined by an arbitration of three noblemen or gentlemen of high standing, to he prcviou.ly selected. 3. That the companies in alliance either with the London and North-Western, or with the Great Western Company, be invited to join in the agreement for equal charges; with the proviso that if the attempt to arrange fails it shall not affxt any existing agreements. 4. That a general committee, consisting of equal numbers from the London and North-Western and Great Western boards, be forthwith appOinted to carry the er ragement into effect, and to determine any matters bear ing upon the general interests or proceedings of the two bodies not specially provid e d f or, and to refer all differ ences to similar arbiteation. The effect of such arrangement, we conceive, will be to give to the public two distinct lines of railway, to afford ample scope to the traffic of all districts, and to allow a full deeelopcoent of the mineral and manilla° turir.g resources of the country without obstruction or hindrance. It will secur e to the proprietors fairly re munerative rates for their- capital, restrained by the Parliamentary limitations, already, at vary low maxi mum charges, and will admit of a just economy in car rying on the business of both lines efficiently, without distracting the attention or iuterfaring with the respon sibilities of the resat ctive boards of management in providing fer the accommodation of the public, end maintaining the value of the property committed to their charge. I sition, will thank yea to submit to y our b oar d this prop plan,. to whi c h t h e di rectors of native this company are ready to give a prompt and faithful adherence, after learning that it tau be made acceptable t o the London and North-Were Cpany.

T 213 Dar —Morning 0 min. after 0 I Evening 17 mir, . after 12 To-Moanow—ltornin; 4i min. after 12 I Evening 9 min. after 1 word about the 5,237 polled for Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR! But he insists, forsooth, that in thus selecting the candidates, he is acting justly because he proceeds upon a similar principle in all other instances, however much opposed to the estimate be would like to make for the Government. Very good. Let us see how he demonstrates the reality of this magnanimously impartial proceeding. He specifies, in token of his fairness—the city of London. And how does he estimate the votes polled in the metro politan election? Why-6,195 are mentioned as polled for Mr. MASTERMAN and 5,537 as polled for Lord Join/ RUSSELL ! Not a syllable about the 5,270 additional polled for Sir JAMES DUKE, and the 4,748 polled for Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD ! Surely all this is wonderfully fair and magnanimous. Again, our Contemporary—who, we doubt not, could beat th e ca l cu l at i ng boy at a pinch—acknow ledges very modestly that "it may be complained that Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets, &c., occupy no place in the calculation." Truly. But then he re plies by reminding us that no electors were polled in those localities for candidates on the side of the Con servatives—adding that their omission is compensated by the omission of so many divisions of counties returning Ministerialist representatives. Surely, a marvellously pert rejoinder. So that a constituency of 4,804 electors, returning three Conservative Members, such as Bedfordshire, must be accepted as a counterbalance to a vast con stituency like that of the Tower Hamlets, numbering upwards of 20,000:oossessurs of the franchise, and re turning two Liberal representatives. A wonderfully generous mode of cooking an estimate in favour of the wishes of the Administration. But this constitutes by no means the whole of the mystery of this astoundingly improbable calculation. There is such a country as Scotland, we believe, and there is also, we believe, such a country as Ireland. Not a single vote from either place, however, enters into the estimate of our Contemporary. Not one! And why ? Simply because the mention of those Scotch and Irish votes would have been distressingly inconvenient. About the elections in the north, it is candidly remarked indeed that the polls in Scotland are not given, because, firstly, they were few in number ; and, secondly, because " in most cases they were contests between WhiTs and Radicals." Pre cisely. The numbers polled in Scotland were in favour of the Opposition, and, therefore, by no means a whisper about them ; for such, we repeat, on the part of an organ of the Cabinet would have been in the highest degree inconvenient. Not a syllable about the numbers polled in favour of the Liberals in Ayr, in Caithness, or in Edinburgh. Such would be only inconvenient. Not a word about Leith, or Paisley, or Wigton. It would merely be inconvenient. Neither is there a word, a whisper, or a syllable a b ou t th e num b ers po ll e d in Ireland. Ex cept, ind ee d, a wretc h ed li tt l e rag of an apology lik e the followi ng As to the Irish polls, it would o f course be an ab s u r dit y t o i n t ro duce them into a tabl e intended to s h ow t h e m i n d and choice of a people thems e l ves an d not o f their drivers." Their seriously astheseexpected drivers —which o f th em ? The Orangemen? Alas ! can it be catn go down " with J oan suc h shabby littl e shuf fling tricks BULL ? Estimates like the foregoing cannot possibly we avow, be swallowed by any dispassionate observe; —although they are really so very nicely " cooked." The truth is, the ultra-Conservatives—all things considered—have made a tolerably respectable ap pearance at the polling booths throughout the United Kingdom. I nso much that the minority they ar e in is not so large as m ight have been expected. Not satisfied with this, however, they want to prove that their minority is no mino rity at all—but a broad,2unmistakeable, and superb majority. They adduce facts and figures to prove this—and then, of course, comes the exposure. It reminds one of the saying of the Italians How does it run ?—" Stava bene, mai per stare megliore sto Pi!" "I was pretty well off as matters were, but by tryin g to mike things better see what a pickle I am in !" So with the Conservatives, but especially with our Ministerialist Contemporary. It is only by reference to verified and official sta tistics that foreigners, or indeed the great majority of our own countrymen, can obtain an adequate and ac curate idea of the vast extent of British commerce with foreign countries and our colonial dependencies. Free trade has greatly augmented our foreign and colonial business, and the Legislature are not likely, we think, to make any retrogressive movement by which our exports could be diminished. The re venue, increasing as the tariff has been lowered, would very speedily show " a beggarly account of empty boxes," if our imports were lessened and our exports reduced. They depend upon each other too much to have separate interests. The Protectionists [are there any of the class remaining ?] are aware of the force of this argument, and carefully shirk its dis cussion. Their sympathies are limited to the rent receiving and rent-paying classes, and do not embrace the interests of the commercialists and manufac turers. That the farmer should no longer get an artificial war price for his corn grieves them ex ceedingly—bat that the whole population of the United Kingdom should have two quartern loaves for the price of one, with every other article of food reduced also, appears to be matter for Protectionist grief rather than rejoicing. The great aim and pur pose of the high-price advocates is to have corn at 80 shillings a quarter, or double what it should be• In truth, the Protectionists cannot get on without high :rent?, or rather, will not attempt it. While they keep up war-rents (fair enough when corn was 96 to 120 shillings a quarter), they will always want war-prices. They alone, of all classes, have not at tempted to adapt themselves to the changed condition of the time and the country. A large loaf is incom patible with large rents. The landocracy should, long ago, have commenced setting their house in order. When general taxes fell, and when untaxed food was admitted into the country, the owners of estates should have diminished their rents. But they are greedy, and will not do this —they grumble and get angry, and do everything but meet the case fairly and wisely. Protectionist grumbling, it is one comfort, cannot make our commerce go back. Our export trade at present amounts to more than 1 60,000,0001. sterling every year. It is carried on principally through six English, three Scotch, and three Irish seaports. In the order of their foreign trade they range thus : Liverpool, London, Hull, Southampton, Newcastle, and Bristol; Glasgow, Leith, and Greenock; Cork, Belfast, and Dublin. These twelve principal sea ports also carry on a valuable and extensive coasting and internal traffic. There are other ports which, with comparatively trifling foreign commerce, have very extensive coasting and internal trade. _ _ In the year ending December 31, 1850, the ton nage which entered and cleared out from all the ports of the United Kingdom, in the foreign, colonial, and coasting trades, was 44,125,624 tons. Of this, the foreign trade employed 11,441,254 tons ; th e colonial, 3,236,551 tons; the coasting or domestic trade of the United Kingdom, 29,447,819 tons, or more than double what was employed i n our com merce with foreign countries and our colonies. The tonnage of all kinds employed in the outward and inward trade of our principal ports, during 1850, , was thus di s t r ib uted :—London, 7,494,815 tons, in cluding 12,633 vesse l s emp l oyed i n supplying the c 011 6apital with 3,637,878 t ons o f coa l ; Li verpool, , 870 tons, not including any of the river and canal vessels, which supply the port with about 1,200,000 tons of T coal and 6 00,000 tons of salt; Newcastle on-yne, 3,059,030 tons, chiefly engaged in the coal trade; Sunderland, 2,099,772 tons, in the same trade; Hartlepool, 1,192,376 tons, also in the coal trade ; ; Plymouth, 720,608 tons ; Hull, 1,174,274 tons Bristol, 962,504 tons ; Cardiff, 817,000 tons, chiefly 676,933 tons, in the coal ' s d iron trades ; Glas gow,in the coal trade ; Gloucester 2 50,166 tons ; New port, 1,241,234 tons ; Leith, 327,993 tons Dublin, 1,293, 822 tons ; Belfast, 1,089,09 6 tons ; Cork, 681,152 tons ; Waterford, Z. 359,562 t ons ; Drogheda, 236,504 tons; Limerick, 294,240 tons; and London derry, 171,268 tons.

According to this truthful and sagacious resented b authority, the contrast py the number o f votes polled respectively by the support ers of the Government and the sup porters of the Opposition reveals shortcoming on th e s id e of an extraordinary the latter lack of resources or energy, of a c n ou d rs a e, mameloanng cholY the ranks of the Whig-Radicals. The sum total of this remarkable estimate shows a clear majority of out of 261,915 electors .. in . favour of the midi ! 4,487 he Administration -128 744 being dates of t th e number of votes attributed to th e whi—. Radical s , the Conservatives. Th e statement i: and 133,23 1 to sufficiently startling to challenge investi ga ti on. It is startling, because we are aware that only 284 of the new Members are decided Derbyites, while th e 3 68 652 constituting the en ti re remaining out of the House of Commona—[—k- Alirns being disfranchised as well as Sudbury, and ors too many having been returned as elected by the constituency of Liberals, or I'Knaresbor oug h] are e ith er L Li beral - Cons ervat i ves. H ow, con sequently, the • numbers polled can appear so diametrically opposed to the calculation o f th e M em b ers returne d as repre sentatives, baffles, of course, at the superficial glance every reasonable conjecture. That 284 Derbyite Members should b.) opposed to 368 who are Liberals or Liberal-Conservatives, and yet that the anti- Ministerial voters should number 128,744, whereas the Ministerial voters should number 133,231 ap pears on the face of the estimate beyond all credi bility, because really nothing less than a glaring and intolerable contradiction. A little inquiry, however, reveals clearly enough how it i s that the calculation has been thus ingeniously " cooked" of d" hy our Contemporary. A very f ew illus trations his method will be enough to place the matter clearly befor e the judgment of the community. Take Middlesex as an example. There our Tory COCKER has magnanimously selected—who ? Mr. BERNAL OSBORN ; who p o ll e d 4,390, and the Marquis cf BLAZDIORD) PllEd 4,258, Li a LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1852. 3,768,6461.; Southampton, 1,888,647/. ; Newcastle, 920,0681.; Leith, 365,552/. ; Bristol, 362,039/. ; Greenock, 35 5,6931.; Cork, 116,2681.; Belfast, 56,5061. ; Dublin, 50,3541. Sixty years ago Bristol was a formidable rival to Liverpool, which now exceeds it, in exports, in nearly the propor tion of 100 to 1. But, the people of Liverpool threw open their docks to the public at a very small rate of charge, while the citizens of Bristol heaped on heavy dock and town dues, in their greediness for gain, which drove the Colonial trade into Liverpool. This should have been a lesson to Protectionists, and it has reduced Bristol from a second class to an eighth-class port. In 1817, the estimated value of the exports of Li verpool was about 17,000,000/. In the year 1839, when the Parliamentary returns commenced, they had advanced to 25,703,847/. In 1850, as we have seen, they amounted to 34,891,8471., and will pro bably be reported for 1851, as high as 36,000,0001. In the last twelve years, by transference to other Cork,porte Belfast,the foreign commerce of Bristol, Gre enoc k, and Dublin has fallen off ; but, during the same time there has been the following increase taking place elsewhere :—Liverpool, 9,188,0001. ; London, 2,550.4904 ; Hull, 1,074 , 4491. ; Newcastle, 230,7511.; Southampton, 1,734,0771.; Glasgow, 1)918,3901. ; Leith, 138,1581. Is it probable that, in the very face of this aug mented trade and commerce, the public—who are advantaged by its prosperous results—can so stultify themselves as to sanction, in any way, measures tending to change it? Can any Ministry, setting at defiance the indisputable facts which we have placed before our readers, dream of a return to Pro tection? The country will not have it; the Mi nistry dare not try it. Come what may, Free Trade is safe. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We ha ve rece i ved the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains a report from M. Ducos, the Mi n i ster of Marine, to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, pointing ou t th e di sa d van t ages a tt en d an t on carryi ng out the regulation which allows only first lieut enants i n the navy to hold commands at sea. A decree from the PRESIDENT follows, authorising second lieutenants also to command in certain cir cumstances, after two years' active service. , The Monit eur a l so con t a i ns a d ecree d ec idi ng t h at the sup er i or commission of the mutual aid societies shall p rov i s i onally fulfi the duties of commission for the caisse d e retra i tes f or t h e aged, as ordered by the law of J une 1850. The official organ also declares that the excursion of the PRESIDENT to Bordeaux cannot take place before September 15, and gives a contradiction to ru mours which, it says, have prevailed, that the Go vernment intends to make further changes in the Mi nisterial offices. The SallAt Public of Lyons corrects a statement by the Courrier de Lyon, that the PRESIDENT of the Republic would be present at the inauguration of the statue of the Extranou in that city on the 25th inst. It is towards the end of September, says the Salut Public, that the Chief of the State will visit Lyons, and that the ceremony in question will take place. On Monday evening a railway train on the line from Tours to Orleans took up at the station of Am boise the nephew of A BD- EL- KADER and a part of his male, among whom were several families, Moors and Negresses, and a certain number of children. They alighted at Orleans, whence it is supposed they will proceed by the Centre line towards the coast, en route for Algeria. The Minister of the Interior has just addressed a circular to the Prefects, informing them that the town of Fontainebleau, having been authorized to erect by subcription a bronze equestrian statue of the EMPEROR in the Cour des Adieux of the Palace, they are requested to invite the sub-prefects and the mayors of their respective departments to promote the subscrirtion to this national work, and to pay over the sums collected to the receivers-general. The Baroness DUDEVANT, who is more generally known by the name of GEORGE SAND, which she has assumed as an authoress, has addressed a letter to the editor of the Presse, in reply to one from him announcing the death of Count D'ORSAY. She says in it.— date. " My acquaint a nce with C oun t d'O rsay was of recent His sphere was the world, mine was retirement. It was necessary for exceptional circumstances to occur for us to become acquainted—and they did occur. He was kind and devoted like a father, like a brother, to those who interested me deeply. Hence arose our friendship, which, having commenced late, seemed to be desirous of making up for lost time. I was attached to him by gratitude, which is the most serious and the sweetest of all ties. He pitied the victims of political tempests, and even on his death-bed, thought of and en deavoured to serve them. He was the friend of the un fortunate." The Bourse showed great firmness, and public securi ties recovered considerably from the late depression.

ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa says, with re ference to the report of the approaching withdrawal of the French army from Rome, that there is no prospect of the realisation of the precedent condition of the organisation of the Papal army. There are no funds for the purpose. Only about 800 or 1,000 Swiss and Germans have vet enlisted. General PETE is now taking the waters at Acqui, in Piedmont. The Duke of PARMA has approved of the contract which the International Commission has signed with the company for the construction of the railroad of Central Italy, to connect Piacenza with Parma, Reg. gio, Modena, Bologna, Prato, and Pistols. The Augsburg Gazette rates from Mantua, that the court-martial of that town is going to try 83 of the persons lately arrested on political charges, among whom are a bishop and 13 other ecclesiastics. A letter from Venice, in the Opinione of Turin of the 9th, states that a flotilla has been established in the Lagoons of Venice. TURKEY. We have received accounts from Constantinople to the 29th ult. M. DE LAAVLETTE, the French ambassador, arri ve d on t h e morning of the 264), on hoard the Charlemagne, after having touched at the Piraeus. He was received on landing by all the officers of the embassy, and a number of the French residents, who accompanied him to his resi dence at Pers. A short time after ivi. DE LAVALETTE received a visit from the Introducer of Ambassadors, KIAMIL BEY, who came on the part of the Porte to congratulate him on his arrival. On the 28th M. DE LAVALETTE, accompanied by the captain of the Charlemagne and the officers of the embassy, went to pay the usual visit to the Porte, to the Minister of the Marine, the Grand Master of the Artillery, and the Minister of War. It is not expected that the Charlemagne will remain at Constantinople more than ten or twelve days, during which time a grand ball will be given on board her, to which the high functionaries of the Porte and the members of the corps diplomatique will be invited. M. SUBATIEIt, who has been appointed Consul- General at Alexan dria, was to leave Constantinople by the packet of the sth, to come to France previous to proceeding to his new post. In the evening of the 28th a fire broke out near the landing place of Jemech Iskelessi, be tween the two bridges, which burnt with great fury for three hours, and caused considerable damage. Five hundred men were landed from the Charle magne, who lent material assistance in extinguishing the flames. Accounts have reached Constantinople that a great part of the city of Erzeroum had been destroyed by an earthquake. THE QUEEN IN BELGIUM. (PROM THE COURT NEWSMAN.) ANTWERP, AUG. 11.

BELGIUM. According to Brussels papers of the 11th inst. The Belgium public is dEeply interested at this moment with the question of the treaty with France. The mutual conventions ceased to be in force on the even ing of the 9th, and no official announcement respect ing the hoped for prolongation had yet been received. The Moniteur says--" The convention concluded with France on the 13th of December, 1845, ex pired on the 9th of August, 1852. After the 10 t h , and while waiting fot the results of the negotiati ons now being carried on It Paris, the general tariff duti es will be applied to the merchandise comprised in this international act." _ _ The Eman ipator asserts that the statu quo will be maintained for the tern of five months, and that the Chambers will be immediately convoked to sanction the prolongation of th 3 treaty. The Observateur announces as a report that the Ministry has received a telegraphic dispatch from Paris, announcing tha; a provisional convention, pro. longing for six months the treaty of commerce be tween Belgium and France, will be signed imme diately at Paris by the French and Belgian negotiators. DENMARK. The Copenhagen journals announce that the Minister of War has given orders that the troops recruited in Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg, shall garrison the Danish forte, and Danish troops those of the Duchies. Thia measure will, it is expected, create great dissatisfaction in Germany. RUSSIA. The Emperor of MJSSIA has issued a ukase order ing a new conscription for the army and navy, to come into force on the 27th November next.

Jones, Esq., for Portsmouth, to repair damage. It has been blowing a heavy gale during the whole of yesterday and to-day, attended with torrents of rain. The yachts coming up from Plymouth and the other western ports, mast have had more wind than they could well manage, and their arrival here is looked for with much anxiety. Numbers of fine trees have been blown down or much damaged, as has been the corn. VENTNOR, Ana. 12.—We have been visited by one of the most violent storms ever remembered; it has been raging for the last twentpfour hours most furiously, Houses, trees, fruits, and the crops have all suffered severely. None of the steamers between Hyde and Portsmouth attempted to make the passage yesterday after 11 A se. The Cowes steamers continued .plying, but the London mail did not reach Ventnor till late la the day. SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA, AUG. 12. The storm raged so violently here yesterday (Wednesday), t h at may of the yachts received considerable damage. One youeg man was drowned, and numerous boats and vea• gels ariven on shore or sunk. The gale was so violent this morning that it became necessary to postpone the regale; in fact, it would have been madness to think of sailing for pleasure in such a storm. Considerable damage has also been done on shore, trees uprooted and houses unroofed. Great anxiety was excited for the safety of the Q.icen, but providentially the storm did not reach her floating mansion. The fate for the Rail way Guards, Widows, and Orphans Fund, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens on Monday next, hies fair to be the most attractive of the season. A grand vocal and instrumental concert, in which Bottessini and Miss Cicely Nott (for this night only), Richardson, Lazarus, and a host of talent, will perform. A display of fireworks of unusual splendour by the renowned Southby ; and, to assist the endeavour, we understand that the directors of the various railways have come forward in the most praiseworthy manner. We are requested to state that the Convocation of the Clergy of the province of Canterbury will not assemble until the day following the meeting of Parliament for the dispatch of business. The writs are returnable on the 21st inst., but the meeting will be prorogued on that day, by the Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in pur suance of the royal writ.— Times.

ACCIDEIVT ON THE LIVERPOOL AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.—A serious disaster occurred on Wednesday night between Waterloo and Crosby. The train which ought to have quitted Southport at nine P.M. did not leave until about a quarter past, and the engineer, anxious to save time, put on additional speed. The oscillation in consequen ce , was very great; and, when arri ved at the loc ality alluded to, the engine, probably in consequence of the sinking of a portion of the rails, sprang off the line, breaking loose en tirely from the carriages, and coming in contact with an embankment of sand, was, together with the tender, turned completely over. The engine-driver and stoker are severely injured, the former, we are informed, having his ribs, and the letter both his legs, broken; while both are badly c u t about the head and face. None of the passengers, fortunately, were hurt, though much shaken b y th e concussion, as the leading carriage also came violently against olfhethbpearneck. b eseane sacrifice i Prec i op posite,pit at ed caused. Another engine was procured as soon as arranglefa ments could be made for the purpose, and the train arrived in Liverpool about twelve o'clock. The rails were torn upat the spot where the accident occurred, and the engine d tender, we understand, are a complete wreck. an ERRATUM. •-•-• Through an apparently alight but really important typographical error, the fourth word in our first leading article of yesterday Was misprinted.
