In again submitting to the proprietors a concise but correct ae eoant of the Company's position, it is satisfactory to the director s , after the lapse of several months o f aggravated commercial diffi culty, bearing with peculiar pressure on every undertaking depen dant on the application of surplus capital,, to be enabled to state that, with the exception of such a retarded payment of the last in stalment, as is necessarily consequent on the period, they have not a single fact to communicate which can otherwise than strengthen that entire confidence in the ultimate distinguished success of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, hitherto entertained by all who are acquainted with its cheapness, its facilities, its security, and its resources. The particular facts establishing these advantages have been so hilly demonstrated in their two former reports that the directors refrain from repeating them ; merely remarking on the additional value they derive from the defeat and abandonment, during the last Session of Parliament, of every competing line betwixt London and the Western Counties, and a moral certainty, arising both from phy sical impediments and the new requirements of the Legislature, that the introduction of any ether is effectually precluded. Since the last report two additional contracts, extending to the high road to Bridgewater, in the village of Lympsham, hare been entered into on terms advantageous to the Company, arising f rom the easy nature of the ground. The greater portion of the land is purchased on the 11 miles comprised in the two first contracts ; and the contractor is availing himself of the favourable state of the weather to expedite the pro gress of the works. - Aware, however, of the large amount of capital at present em ployed on the numerous and extensive railroads in progress through out the kingdom, and desirous of giving the greatest effect to the available means of the Company, by not operating on too large a surface at a time, the directori—though fully determined to com plete the line to Exeter—have resolved to finish and open such por tions of it, commencing with Bristol, as will enable them to secure an actual romuneratiou on the capital expcnded en its progress to Weston and Uphill in the first instance, Bridgwater in the second, and Taunton in the third, so that investment and return may, in a good degree, keep pace wit) each other. They purpose, therefore, to limit the scope of this report chiefly to an exposition of such cir cumstances as will best enable the proprietors to form a correct opinion of the required outlay and ascertainable proceeds on these portions of their expenditure. The estimates of their engineer, which have been hitherto so sa tisfactorily borne out by the contracts entered into for upwards of two-thirds of the distance to Bridgwater, and by the actual cost of land already purchased, warrant the directors in assuming that the cost of opening the line to that port, including the stations, loco motive engines, and every other expense, will, at the outside, not exceed thirty-five pounds per share. In stating the dividend to be reasonably anticiputed from this ex penditure, they are so fully sonsible of the extent of prejudice they have to encounter, arising less from the misrepresentations of the interested, than from the inconsiderate assumptions of a few who are unacquainted with the facts of the question, and the credence yielded by the many to assertions to which they have never exa mined the proof, that the directors would feel the declaration of truth itself to be unavailing, unless supported by that species and amount of evidence which they %tell know must remain unshaken by the severest scrutiny. They subjoin, therefore, as an appendix, an abstract, eorrectea to the present time, of the traffic, proved before the Parliamentary Committee under the investigation of adverse counsel, and illus trated by such references as can leave little room for doubt in minds accessible to the influence of testimony. To those who, dazzled by the celebrity which our great manufacturing towns have obtained from the magnitude and productions, rather than the travelling wants and habits of their population, conclude that these must of necessity create an extent of intercourse, for which it will be vain to seek a parallel in the other districts of the king dom, it will appear remarkable that the coaches at this time daily running betwixt London, Bristol, and Exeter, considerably exceed the entire number plying between London and Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, before the opening of the Grand Junction Railroad. Yet such is the incontrovertible fact, as will be seen by any one who takes the trouble to refer to the appendix and it is on this plain ground, together with the acknowledged cheapness which natural facilities give to the construction of the Bristol and Exeter line, that the directors feel justified in holding out to the shareholders the expectation of a dividend of 13 per cent. on the outly before -mentioned to Bridgwater. To this it may be added that it is the peculiar advantage of this line to open up new sources of profit in its progress, at such short successive distances as can rarely be presented by an similar undertaking. The complo tion of less than ten miles will enable the company, at an ample profit not included in the present or any estimate, to bring the pro ducts of a vast coal-field into the city of Bristol, at a charge of one shilling per ton : twelve additional miles, which bring the'line close to the mouth of the Ax, and the natural harbour at Uphill will establish a line of communication betwixt the whole of the South of Ireland (including, of course, the southern coast of Wales), and Bristol, and London, of which the most sanguine can scarcely calculate the advantages ; and eleven miles more, I:iy car rying the line to Bridgwater, will necessarily render it the medium of intercourse between the Western Counties, and London, and the Nort h. Although, as the subjoined accounts will shew, the outlay on the works is becoming heavy, the directors expect that the balance in hand, aided by the instelment now in course of receipt, will prevent the necessity, for some months, of a further call on the shareholders. Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub ject, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole line would be simultaneously in opci-ation—and, under the feeling that all possible economy should be exercised—the directo rs h ave ear nestly applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re duced several branches of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a moiety of the compensation, so liberally voted for their services at conside ra ti on , w h et h er o f the first general meeting. taking, the a public Cale ful o l r y p w r e iy ig a l t i e i n n t tu t r h e e , re w f i t t ir te e ft c re v l e a r t y es to this under directors feel its vigorous prosecution to be their highest duty, and EXPENDITURE.

She does the builders mud: credit, and is in tended for the Nile, to tow cotton boats, carry cargo, &c. and this vessel has since left Alexandria for Candle, where his Highness . Mohamed Ali still remains, though daily ex pected back. One auction of 3,000 bales of cotton took place seven days ago at Alexandria ; it fetched 101 dollars the cantar. The buyers ire Greeks. Colonel Vyse, one of the Oxford Blues, has been for the last three months exploring at the Pyramids. His memory will be long cherished by the inhabitants of five or six vil lages in the vicinity of those most wonderful buildings, the most ancient of the known world. Tlia Colonel's success has been great ; in fact much greater than either Belzoni's or Caviglia's. Colonel Vyse spared neither money nor la bour in his researches, and I dare say his liberal spirit will influ,-!e him to communicate those researches in full to the Antiquarian Society of London. Colonel Vyse returns to England, via Malta, for quarantine, by this month's packet, from Alexandria. There is no plague in Egypt beyond the Lazaretto of Alexandria, neither is there cholera nor any contagious disease whatever. My own opinion is that Egypt is fast getting a most healthy country. We already have Indian officers residing in it on account of their health ; and it is further my opinion that in a few years it will become the partial residence of all the English in India, both for plea sure and for health. With respect to the Pasha's affairs in the Hedjas and Yemen, they remain as before, except that a small force of the Pasha's was cut to pieces, nearly to a man, about three months ago. The war there is the only policy of Mohamed Ali's that I condemn. It was originally begun to put down the Wahabees, who had plundered the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and also murdered the pil grims who came from the north on their religious pil grimage. That sect having been wholly put down, except a fen► of them now residing in the country of Imaum of Muscat, there exists no longer any reason for the warfare in Arabia, and the Pasha would act wisely in merely con fining his arms there to punish acts of aggression on the towns bordering the east coast of the Red Sea. The Imaum of Sanaa, in Arabia Felix, died about three months ago ; he was not more than 27 years of age. He has been quickly succeeded by Abd'allah Ebn Mulidee, a cousin of his. The force of his Government is about 4,500 foot and 200 horse. It is the most flourishing district of all Arabia. Sanaa is the district where the farfamed Mocha Coffee grows, which merely acquires the name of Mocha by being shipped for Europe from that place. Few Englishmen (perhaps eight) are now living who have visited Sanaa. I have- been informed that the valley of Sanaa, which is formed between two ranges of mountains, is the most beautiful spot on the earth when seen ut the fruitful time of the year. It is with pleasure that I here record the labours of the Missionaries in Cairo, supported by the Church Missionary Society of London. They have, in all, three schools : one under the Rev. Mr. Krusse contains ten boys, who are in tended for schoolmasters ; a second-class school also con tains eighty. Those who have lost their parents are fed, clothed, and housed as well as educated. The third school contains about eighty girls : these two last under the Rev, Mr. Leider. Thus, even in Egypt, the light of English education exists. Respecting the mails from England of this month, they go off direct to Bombay, in charge of an English messen ger all the way from this city, and, of course, obtain thereby a speedy passage. CEREMONY OF LETTING THE WATERS OF THE NILE INTO ' LOWER EGYPT. At four p.m. of the 19th of August—the Nile having risen to the proper height for cutting the canal through which, by intersection of other canals from that, the waters of the Nile ai-e conveyed through the whole eastern side of that river into Lower Egypt—a large boat, which had been prepared by baring scaffolding erected, dressed with flags, awnings, and carpets for the occasion, and crowded with people, was seen slowly ascending the stream of the Nile, with the assistance of the wind, that being tier ; and presently another large dressed out boat steered off to the former ; both were lashed together, and then these were preceded by another boat having a -gun on her bow, which continued firing without intermission during their ascent up the river. These three were joined and accompanied by various other boats chiefly belong ing to the nobility and gentry of Egypt. Both sides of the Nile were crowded with lookers on. The Garden of Rhoda, which lies contiguous to the spot where the waters are was also densely crowded. On the arrival of the ve6F..els at this spot they were received with a salute of ar tillery, stationed there for that purpose. Through the w h o l e D iglit boats were. constantly passing up and down, the most of them with Arabic music on board ; in fact, for this one night in the year the Nile may be said to resemble Venice in its suatmer nights of serenading. At frequent intervals rockets, artillery, blue lights, and fireworks of various descriptions were fired throughout the night. Close to tile spot where the cut was to be made, stand the buildings which contain the machinery by which the waters of tl:e Nile are conveyed to the citadel of Cairo. These buildings seemed, when the fireworks were not playing, like a huge fortification ; for as the fireworks played, and occasionally lightened the atmosphere over it, hundreds of people were seen on its summits. As the morning dawaed the boats with the harems began to ap pear, with various suites Irons diffe:-ent points. First came the ex-sheriff of Mecco, with his splerlid and pampered Arab horses, of the true Negbed breed, probably the finest in the vs orld ; then came the dervishes from Turkey; these wore their handkerchiefs and badges on this occa sion. The consuls of European nations, as well as the subjects of those nations, all repaired to the spot. Next t ame the military, civil, and other of of the Egyp tian government; and last, not leas;, at eight o'clock, e.une Habib Effendi, tha venerable and respeete.l governor of Cairo, to attend the opening of the waters. His baked began to throw copper money in bandsfull for the poor into the canal. At sunrise the labourers stationed to cut the soil were at their work, and at a quarter past eight d n a disappeared. quarter the waters rushed in, and in ten minutes after a boat passed through, and floated for two miles inland. Habib Effendi then presented the Cadi of Cairo with a caftan or robe of honour, and his agent also gave other robes to the officers of the Cadi.

THE NEW 'NOVEL, " UNCLE HORACE."—This nevel is from the prolific and talented pen of Mrs. S. C. Hall, and adds greatly to the fame which this lady has already acquired. The story is full of interesting adventure and admirable delineations of character, in which the foibles, the vices, and the virtues of human nature are po werfully por trayed. The title is d er ived from the name of the unc l e o f he heroine, who exhibits all the sterling q ualities of a British merchant, and forms a angular contrast to his brother, who, in pursuit of the empty vanities of life, is reduced to poverty, and dies, leaving his daughter to the protection of her uncle, and, after a variety of vicissitudes and trials, she reaps th e reward of her moral worth in an union vrith•the object of her affections and the possession of her uncle's for tune. a h incidents are highly wrought and come i t n rai r ns a k p ae i n d dd successi on, ad hmero form er' ogr m rivctting the attention o f the r eader by the pow erful pa ti l ies which they excite. Mrs. Hall, be b) h r productions, fully entitles herself to most popular of our female writers. • There is a Spanish proverb which says 14 . The devil ;empty all men but the idle man, and the idle man tempts ho devil."
