independence; there is no reason to believe the Jammoo chief more tyrannous or unpopular than his predeces sors, and no grounds for our sympathy with those who have combined to resist his authority. With the sur render of the leaders there is every reason to expect that the I.ebellion will be quickly brought to an end. Matters hate at length been finally, and apparently satisfaetorily, settled with the Moultan Chief, who has agreed to pay 35,0001. in the shape of arrears of tribute —one-third of the territory formerly under his charge to be formed into a separate province, to be governed by Misr Bhugwan Singh. The revenue of the remaining two-thirds was to be raised one-fourth above what was formerly charged on it. The father of the present Chief of Moultan, the sagacious Dewan Sawun Mull, was ori ginally a councillor at the court of Runjeet Singh, and received the vice-royalty in c onsideration of his personal services and the regard entertained for him by his sove reign. The revenue paid was fixed at a specified sum for each particular district; and, though a man of much authority and importance, he never had the slightest claim to independence. Successive usurpations of pa tronage and authority by degrees increased the power of the local government, until the disorders at Lahore, and the weakness and dissensions of the Durbar, enabled the Dewan Moolraj to bravo them for a ti me w i t h inicunity. Ue will by this time have reached his own capital, for mally re-invested with authority, and with every ground if jealousy and misunderstanding removed. The general aspect of matters at Lahore is on the whole improving, and there seems no reason to despair of the provisions of the treaty of Umritsir being carried out. AFFGIIANISTAN. If ever nation received a lesson on the calamitous con sequences of the indulgence of ill-regulated avarice and uncontrolled ambition, England has been taught one not to be forgotten by her conduct towards the countries bordering on the Indus. On the affairs of Sinde it is not at present our purpose to enter. The hopes of reap ing a harvest of wealth from the opening of the Indus— the dreams of annual fairs at Shikapore, whither all the traders of the East were to resort—have soiled the pages of our annals with the blackest stain that can disgrace the history of any country, and saddled us with a peren nial outlay exceeding the revenue of a German principa lity. Neither need we revert to the more immediate and frightful consequences of our advance beyond the passes, for the fanciful purpose of improving our frontier, and increasing our traffic, written as these arc in characters of blood and fire, a warning to all future generations. The present state of Western Affghanistan supplies us matter for melancholy refisction—on the disorganisation occasioned by our unprincipled and insane interference with the internal affairs of countries which concerned us not. We found a sovereign at Caubul who bore the character of one of the most vigorous, discreet, and wise rulers in Central Asia. Under him corn merce flourished, and traders were comparatively safe; justice was administered with an even-handed impartiality not known in any of the countries around ; and if the administration of the Ameer from 1830—when he became known to us—till IS3B, when we resolved to dethrone him, would bear no comparison with that of the snore enlightened nations of the West ern world, there were few in the East to which the most favourable contrast was not supplied by it. The whole of the mechanism by which these ends were compassed, was by us broken to pieces, and though it could hardly have been imagined that the restoration of the Ameer would have brought matters again to the position in which we found them, the even-handedness with which justice has presented the poisoned chalice to cur lips almost exceeds the ordinary boundaries of immediate retribution. The armies which left their bones in the dark defiles and snows around Caubul were sent there to open up or maintain the channels of commerce at the bayonet point. Not only were these at the time closed behind us by the perturbations we occasioned, but the stream seeius destined long to be in a great measure dammed up. Traders complain that at no time within the present century have they been so annoyed and assailed; tad to move a kafila to Caubul in safety seems next to an impossibility. It was the boast of Mr. Secretary Torrens that between the years 1838 and 1841 our trade with Affghanistan, through the line of our north-west frontier, rose from seven to thirty eight lacs' worth of goods annually; from the former to the latter, we raised it chiefly in commissariat stores for the supply of our own troops. Of the million sterling worth of goods imported by the five various routes enu merated by Masson— forty- fly e lacs' worth being be lieved to be drawn from British India—how much is at this present moment purchased from us ? Does five— does ore—lac worth of British produce pass the fron tier for consumption beyond the passes ? We not only lost our character, destroyed an army, and flung seven teen millions of money away, but the very object for which all this expenditure was incurred has been frus trated, and our commerce with the countries beyond the Indus has been extinguished. We take the folloaing extracts from the Delhi Gazette of the 31st October : " Our latest correspondence from Caubul extends to the 24th August, beginning cn the 10th of that month, where our former letters broke off with an account of a feud, renewed for the twentieth time, having broken out between the Ameer and his hopeful son, shortly after the celebration of the marriage of the Wuzeer to the daughter of Yar Mahotned of Herat. On the 10th, the merchants trading to the East again presented them selves in a body at the Durbar to pray that soma mea sures might be adopted for securing the safety of goods coming up the passes. They now complained that nu less than 80 loads had been stolen from one kafila by the Ghilzaies, in the neighbourhood of G undamuck,and stated that if their goods were thus to be exposed to plunder they must seek some other place of abode, saying that even in the troubled days of Nadir Shah the trade of the country was considered of sufficient importance to command the attention of the local Government, which extended its protection by employing a select body of Arabs tc accompany the 'taffies backwards and forwards through the passes. The Ameer replied that if they would only have patience, he would send troops to repress the evil- I disposed am ongs t th e Ghil za i es, when all should be settled to their satisfaction. The Ameer, full of grief at the present state of affairs, went on the following day (the 11th August) to the tomb of Asghan Arefan, with only two atteudants, and spent the whole morning in prayer ; on his return, he went direct to the private apartments, refusing to receive any of the Chiefs at Durbar. Our correspondent says on this, that the pros pects of this part of Afighanistan never could have been worse *lan at the present time. An important rule with a true Wuzeer, a starving soldiery, and the mer @bents ruined by the plunder of their kafilas.' On the 12th, a Durbar was held, at which Sirdar Osmat Khan reported the receipt of a letter, stating that the inhabi tants of Jellalabad were in such fear of an attack from the Ghilzaiee, that they were removing their property to the different forts in the neighbourhood. A letter was thereupon addressed to Murdan, the Deputy Governor, commanding him to assure the people that they Reed be under no apprehension, as troops would speedily be sent to put down the Ghilzaies. At a private council held on the 14th of the month, to consider the affairs of the Ghilzaies, Meer Ilajee Saheb and Hafizjee having been summoned, produced a letter from Azeez Khan, fke chief of that tribe, which they had lately re ceived, in which it was stated that peace should not and could not be restored in his country unless Mousseh Khan, Barukhzaie, were delivered up to him by the Wueeer, with tb. view of his being put to death, in satisfaction a tibe murder of Meer Afzul Khan of Gunda muck. The Aua•er objected to this that Mousseh Khan was one of his own tribe, and that tribe being the ruling one in the country, it surely could not be expected that he would be given up in satisfaction of the death of a mere Zumeendar of an inferior tribe. The priests both replied that the law of their religion was explicit on the subject, and it was no use adducing local customs against the laws of the Prophet. The Ameer was silent. It was ,then asked, why with such a difficulty in the immediate neighbourhood of Caubul, a large body of men had been sent over to Toorkistan, and suggested that these should be recalled and ordered against the Ghilzaies. There appearing some objection to this plan, it was determined that troops, with a sufficient complement of guns, should be at once ordered from Caubul, and the necessary orders were given accordingly. A rumour having, on the lath, been spread in the Dur• bar that the British troops had arrived in Peshawur, ITawab Jubbar Khan said it was no such thing, but that the rumour originated in the fact of some Seikh troops having reached Peshawur, commanded by a Feringhee of the name of John Holmes, whom he knew well, and who had been many years in the Lahore service. In this manner,' said the Nawab, many equally unfounded rumours get abioad, and are believed.' On the 16th a deputation was sent by the Ameer to the Wuzeer, to learn his intentions in the present state of affairs. On the 17th a kassid arrived from the east, who told the Ameer in the Durbar that it was with the utmost diffi culty he had been able to make his way through the passes, the same being occupied in every direction by the Ghilzaies. On the following day the deputation to the Wuzeer stated that they had been daily in attendance at the house of MahomedUkbar Khan, but that such was at present the state of his eyes, that he had been un able to receive them. The Ameer then deputed Meer Ha jee, Ghoolam Mahomed, Khan Shereen Khan, and Meerza Ab-dool-Summeh Khan, to visit the Wuzeer, and see what they would do with him, a , , so long as he absented himself from the Durbar, matters must continue in their present slate of confusion. The Ameer took the opportunity of expressing his displeasure at the conduct of those who were fomenting the feud between him and his son, adding that he would have their noses cut off if they continued their malpractices. The chiefs present said it would be more fit he should at present name the persons he alluded to, as they were severally ignorant who was meant, but the Ameer gave no explanation. On the 19th a letter arrived from Meer Attalik Beg (son of Meer Morad Beg, of Koondooz,) and other chiefs of Toorkistan, who had not heard of the dispatch of the troops to their assistance, complaining of the long detention of their Vakeel, and the delays which had occurred in ans iverirg their application, and saying that those only were friends who were so in the time of need and trouble. On the 20th August, a letter was received from the Deputy Governor of Jellalabad, stating that he had used his best endeavour to infuse confidence into the minds of the people, but with little success, in consequence of some ?.f .t. 1?: small forts h av i ng a l rea d y b een attacked by the um! ales. Torebas Khan wrote at the same time to say that the insurrection of the Ghilzaies had induced the people of Kama and other places to rise and plunder everybody an d everything coming wi t hi n their reach. These letters annoyed the Aneer so much, that he brake up the Durbar and withdrew to his private apartments. On the 21st, the deputation above-mentioned: reported that the Wuzeer had a l so refused to see them,on the continued plea that his eves we re se painful to him that he could not hold any conversation with any one. The Ameer thereupon sent a confidential slave to use his best o t i f the o nw N a V a ti t z h e e e n r.

Matters thus remained in statu quo up to the date of our letters leaving Caubul." COMMARCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Times.) BOMBAY MARKET. STATE OF THE MARKET.—BOMBAY, Nov. 14. The cotton piece-goods market continues without much aniiiation, but as holders appear disposed to move off their stocks, the amount of business done during the week, is fully equal to, if not larger than, what we re. ported in our last. Yarns—There has been some inquiry for first quality mule, and 85 bales, each 2001 b., have been sold at 61 as. for No. 20, and 71 as. for No. 30. Common qualities are rather dull, and we do not alter our former quotations. Saffrons-2001bs. of best quality have been sold at 181 rs. per lb., and 401 b. of inferior at 12 rs. Metals—The market continues quiet. We have but one sale to report-35 cwt. of tile copper at 31a rs. Cochineal is in good demand. We hear that 3-a rs. per lb. for silver has been refused. Beer—Allsopp's is in good request. We have to re port a further sale of 33 hhds. at 66 rs. Of Bass' we have heard of a sale of 6,000 dozen, Bombay bottled, at rs. per dozen quarts. Cotton—The market has been very active, and prices have further advanced. There have been several pur chases made for both England and China, viz.:— Bales. Rupees. 1,500 Broach and Jumboseer 125 Ditto 300 Ditto (all round) 200 Dhollera 721 500 Ditto 100 Ditto (best quality) 76 to 761 200 Candies Mangarole, with all faults..... 54 200 Compta 200 Ditto 175 Mawah, with all faults 70 to 71 The following are the quotations of the day :—Broach and Jumboseer, 81 to 82 rs.; Surat, 83 to 84 rs.; Dhol lerah and Bownuggur, 74 to 77 rs.; Compta, 60 to 70 rs.; Mangarole, 64 to 65 rs.

To China the rate has ad vanced to 12s. rs. per candy, which is freely offered. As yet no vessel has accepted this rate ; we look, th ere f ore , for further advance. Exchange—During the 'week large transactions have taken place at 2s. per rupee, six months' sight, in the first-class China paper. There is yet a large quantity in the market, and bills are now freely offered at 2s. 1-16d.—Bombay Times. Nov. 14. CALCUTTA. EXCHANGE.—Notwithstanding the heavy remittances received from home by drafts on the Treasury during the month of October (about Company's rupees 7,500,000), exchange has continued steady at from Is. 11d. to Is. 111 d. at ten months' date, and I. 101 d. to ls. Hid. at six months' sight. Operations for the present opportu nity have, however, as yet been moderate, neither draw. ers nor buyers showing much anxiety to operate at cur rent rates. MONEY MARKET.—We have no change to notice in the position of our Money Market within the past fort night; neither in the value of Government secthities or Bank stock . CHINA. THE LATE DISTURBANCES AT MACAO. (From the Boletim do Governo.) In consequence of the repeated complaints of robberies perpetrated in the Chinese fast-boats which run between Macao, Canton, and Hong-Kong, without any possibility of discovering the perpetrators, because of our defective information on the subject of those vessels and the people employed in them, who have not the best character, and are believed to belong in a great measure to the band of pirates which has committed so many depredations in this neighbourhood, the Governor in Council for Chinese affairs had resolved to impose a tax upon these boats, obliging them to be registered in the procurador's office, and not admitting them into the port without a num bered ticket, which should be renewed every month, upon payment of one dollar, to be appropriated to the repair and preservation of the public wharf of Tarrafeiro, which is set apart for the mooring of the fast-boats, for the facility of registration, as well as the greater convenience of the public, who have only to proceed there when they desire to employ any one. The edict having been published to that effect, the proprietors of the fast boats, more especially those termed headmen, refused to yield it due obedience, and in con sequence three of them were detained, having attempted to leave on the 3d instant without complying with the law. Upon this the others who had prepared to leave remained, and having collected a band of robbers, about 1,500 in number, the greater part or nearly all being vagabonds from Canton and neighbouring places, and haying disguised themselves, entered the river by tho passage of Pac-san, and having disembarked on the Bth at six P.m., placed themselves with three guns in the Tarrafeiro ; it was their plan to get possession of this place and the Custom house, and these points with the whole line of the bazaar being secured, to deliver the city up to pillage. But the Governor being informed of all, had caused these points to be garrisoned, and had employed all convenient measures to repel any at tack. As soon as it was known on the. morning of Thursday that the robbers were on shore, the Governor sent a picquet of forty men in command of Lieutenant Julio, who, placing himself at the head of the street commonly called Jczi Lopes, opposed the ad vance of the robbers, who already were entering the city by that street. Shortly after that he was rein forced by another picquet and a piece of ordnance under the command of First Lieutenant Placido, and the rob bers were soon dislodged from Tarrafeiro, all running towards the fast-boats. Being there attacked by an other force which had marched up by the street, of the bazaar, commanded by Second Lieutenant Fidellis, and surrounded on all sides, they retired in disorder on board the fast-boats, by which they attempted to eff.ct their flight. In this they were prevented by the Government schooner and some Macao lorchas. Mr. John Smith's schooner Alpha, and the lorcha Canton, belonging to Messrs. Dent and Co., promptly offered their service to the Governor. In little more than five hours the robbers were com pletely routed, ten of the fast-boats burned, eight run ashore, and many others sunk and otherwise destroyed. The destructive and well-directed fire of grape, and the incessant discharges of musketry, must have caused great destruction in their ranks, what with those who fell under the discharge from our guns, and others who were drowned in their flight. Our force returned with out having suffered the least accident, not even one wounded. This is due above all to the good order and discipline which was main tained during the firing, from which so much credit redounds to the small but brave battalion of Macao. The conduct of this corps on the present occa sion entitles them to all praise, and confirms the good name and the confidence which they have gained by their subordination and loyalty. Not lees honourable were the proceedings of the inhabitants of Macao on this occasion : as soon at they knew that the city was in peril, all ran to assist their brethren in arms in the de fence of the place. The pleasure and readiness with which they presented themselves, the promptitude with which they obeyed the orders, and, finally, the alacrity with which they executed them, convinced all of their perfect patriotism and of their self-dedication to the public good, as well as of the loyalty of the inhabitants of this more than ever loyal city of Macao. Imprudent and ill-advised acts, and also indecorous to the chief authorities of the place, perpetrated to the detriment of Cie good name of the good Macaenses, would have pre judiced them in the opinion of the Governor ; but the honourable and loyal manner in which they offered them selves to the support of the authority of the Governor, and of the national dignity and honour, entitles them to his greatest esteem, and to the entire confidence which is this day reposed in them by the chief authorities of the place, who will not lose a moment in expressing it, and in manifesting to them the complete satisfaction which they have felt on this occasion. So complete was the rout of the Chinese that in the night of the same day perfect quiet and tranquillity were restored in all the city, which has not since been disturbed; and it is not to be believed that it will be again, after the severe lesson which has been given to the rebels, and the beneficial terror struck into the Chinese in general by the superiority of our arms and the decisive conduct of the Governor. The bazaar, which was closed on Thursday, was opened on the morning of the following day, in consequence of an edict of the Go vernor, which the Chinese promptly obeyed, as well as the various other orders emanating from his Excellency ; and up t o t hi s d ay the supply of provisions for the city has not been interrupted, which, and all other matters, continue as before, as though nothing had hap pened. - His Excellency the Governor, not being able at the commencement of the troubles to anticipate all the results, and desirous of employing every means to protect the life and property of the inhabitants of the place, in case of some unforeseen disaster, sent, without loss of time, to the Governor of the colony of Hong- Korn soliciting a vesse l of war, which might serve for r ' a secure asylum, as well for the subjects of her Majesty as for the strangers here resi• dent, when need should be. To this end was dispatched, at ten A.M. the cutter of Mr. P. S. Forbes, consul of the United States (which was cheerfully placed at the dis posal of the Governor), with the official dispatches of his Excellency to the Governor of Hong Kong. Ia conse- 0 - - V C-2 ••• •., - quence the war steamer Vulture was immediately sent over to Macao. It arrived here at seven A.M. of Friday, and remained until the following Monday, when it left for (long-Kong at two o'clock in the afternoon. CANTON MARKET, OCT. 26. IMPORTS. Cotton—Owing to the want of rain interfering with the water carriage, and to the great scarcity of money, this staple has somewhat receded, notwithstanding the smallness of the stocks. The net quotatiOns are-5 taels to 6.3 for Bombay; fine Banda, 7.4; and Tinnivelly, 5 to 7 taels. It should be remarked that there is little or no fine Bombay at market, and the best would command some mace more than the above quotation. The follow ing is the statement of imports, stocks, and deliveries for the month ending 30th instant:-- Stock same Imported. Deliveries. Stock. period 1845. Bombay, bales 24,000 15,022 58,355 64,466 Bewnd, , 1,791 2,392 6,493 1,508 Madras, „ 5,547 4,326 6,389 12,170 America, „ none none 475 1,397 Total ... 30,338 21 , 739 71,712 79,541 The stock at same period of 1844 was 150,027. N.B. This report has no reference to the sales by im porters during the month; the imports show the quanti ties entered at the Custom-house and actually landed; the deliveries, the quantities delivered from the pack houses to boats taking the cotton, &c., to the interior; and the stock, that remains in the pack-houses, sold and not sold. Cotton Yarn-The demand for this article continues good, and prices have rallied, especially for low numbers. The heavy imports which caused apprehension some months back have been placed, and as the supply for some time will be upon a moderate scale, the present quotations are sure to be maintained. The imports of the month are reported at 2,269 bales, the deliveries 1,435 bales, and the stock nmaining 3,775 bales, against 1,825 last year at the same period. The present quotations long are-Nos. 16 to 24, 28 dol. to 29 dol.; Nos. 26 to 32, 31 dol. to 32 dol.; Nos. 34 and 42, 33 dol. to 34 dol. Long Cloths-Sales continue upon a very limited scale, and the article continues much depressed. The quotations long are-Grey 1 dol. 70c. for common, up to 2 dols. 60c. for heavy 72 reed; and whites 2duls. 30c. for common, up to 3 dols. for the best. American Goods-Owing to the high rates ruling in the north, holders have manifested much firmness. The stocks appear light, and there is a considerable degree of confidence existing in the article. The quotations long are-Drills 40 yards, 3 dots. 30c. to 3 dols. 40c., and domestics 40 yards, 2 dols. 50c. to 2 dols. 75c. Long Ella have fluctuated considerably, and the sales 9 dols.; purple, 8 dols. 90c.; mazarine blue, 8 dols. 10c.; yellow, 7 dols. 80c.; black and green, 7 dols. 50c.; light blue, 7 dols. 30c.; ash, 6 dols. 40c. Spanish Stripes-Are very unsteady and difficult. Those reported are upon a small scale. The following are the quotations long for household goods :-Scarlet 9 dols. 90c. ; brown move. The sales reported are upon a moderate scale, and the stock in second hands seems heavy. The quotation long for assortments is 1 del. 25c. to 1 dol. 35c., the respective prices of each colour being-purple, 1 dol. 40c. to 1 dol. 45c.; scarlet, 1 dol. 40c.; mazarine blue, I dol. 30c.; gentionella, 1 dol. 20c.; black, 1 dol. 10c. to :1 dol. 15c.; brown, 1 dol. ; light blue, 95c.; green, 85e.; yellow, 80c.; ash, 65c. Camlets-Although this is the best season the demand continues very slack. A small sale of English is re ported at 22 dolls. 50c. long. 500 Dutch pieces have also been placed at 2G dolls. to 27 dolls. 50c., and a few pieces broad at 33 dolls. Lead-Has declined to 5 dolls. 25c. long. Iron-Has advanced. Sales are reported of nailrod at 3 dolls. 20c. to 3 dolls. 50c. long., of hoop at 3 dolls., of bar and bolt at 3 dolls. 20e. to 3 dolls. 40c., and of wire at 4 dolls. to 5 dolls. Tin Plates continue saleable at 6 dolls. to 6 dolls. 50c, Betel Nut continues extremely dull. A few sales have been made of new at 3 dolls. to 3 dolls. 20c. long; but as that rate cannot now be obtained, it is clear that it has been overheld. Still the dealers are short of stock, and the quantity held by importers is not short. Rattans—A considerable quantity have been placed during the month, at the following rates long, which exhibit an improvement:—Banjarmassing, 3 dolls. to 3 dulls. 25c. ; Straits. 2 dolls. 75c. to 3 dolls. ; Hater, 1 doll. 80c. to 2 dolls. 20c. Putchuek very dull, at 6 dolls. 50c. long. Cloves have receded to 25 dolls. Cochineal has advanced to 300 dolls. Rice has advanced, owing to the want of rain having caused a deficient crop. Arracan is 1 doll. 40c.; Manilla and Java, 1 doll. 75c. to 1 doll. 90c. Opium—Malwa remains very dull, and the stock con tinues to accumulate. The rates are nearly nominal, and holders appear content with what they can get ; 620 dolls. is the highest quotation for the best. Patna has been governed entirely by speculation, and the legitimate demand has been small. The demand has been principally at three weeks, and snch was the extent to which speculation was carried that an unlimited quantity could be disposed of. The cash demand was very small, and the price was ruled entirely by the rate at three weeks, ranging 10 dolle. to 15 dolls. below it. The rate for Patna at three weeks was run up to 690 dolls. During the last few days, thrse three weeks' bargains have become due, and the buyers are unable to clear. Confidence is paralysed, and as more bargains fall due daily, it seems as if repudiation were to be the order of the day. The legitimate demand is quite swamped by this excitement, and cannot be expected to appear until it has subsided. It is hard to determine the cash price of this day, because no one durst forc3 the market, but we question if 630 dolls. cash could be got for any quantity. Denares and old Patna are not in quired for. Turkey remains steady at 490 dolls. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BRISTOL 7 7 ' 7'ssee! e isesseey,. (From the Toole Herald of Saturday.) On Monday last, a public ne eting of the inhabitants of Poole, called by requisition, which document received 82 signatures, was held in the Town Hall, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the proposed Bristol and Poole Harbour Rsilrvay, and, on the event of a de claration in favour of the line, to determine on the steps to be adopted in furtherance of the scheme. 11. M. ALDRIDGE, Esq., Under Sheriff, in the una voidable absence of the Sheriff, A. Adams, Esq., was called to the chair, who, after reading the requishiee, observed that that document had been signed by many persons, and he hoped some of them !etre present for the purpose of supporting the objects for which the meeting had been called. M. K. WELCH, Esq., observed, that perhaps as one signing the requisition, in the absence of any of the pro moters of the undertaking, he might be allowed to make a few observations. The meeting had been fixed to take place on a very inconvenient day for the attendance of parries from Bristol. He had heard that Mr. Gainey, the insyor of that city, intended to be present, though he had not arrived, and no doubt Monday, the day chosen, had been found as great an obstacle to his leaving his own town as it had been to others. Unfortu nately, also, Mr. Castleman, of Wimborne, one of the secretaries pro tem.,hal written to say he could not be pre sent in consequence of the Corporation of that town holding a meeting also upon the same day, at which that gentleman had business, though Mr. Castleman stated that one of the directors would be present. No director, however, had arrived. Having thus premised, he would proceed to make a few observations on the scheme. He was not aware whether the prospectuses of the company had passed into the hands of all the gentlemen present, and, therefore, it would be preferable, perhaps, to state broadly the object of the undertaking. The Bristol and Poole Harbour Railway Company were desirous of opening a communication between the port of Poole, the Bristol Channel, and the port of Bristol, passing from Bristol through or near the important towns and villages of W hitchurch, Pensford, Clutton, Shepton Mallett, Bruton, Castle Cary, Wincanton, Stalbridge, Sturminster, Newton, Shillingston, Stourpain, Blandford, Spettis bury, Sturminster Marshall, Wimborne Minster, to Poole Harbour, and terminating, as the map showed, at the north-east part of the town, near the Fish Sham bles. Independently of the communication to the west, this line, if completed, would create a communica tion with the north of England, as at Bristol, lines were already in existence with the northern and eastern parts of the kingdom. The distance to Bristol by the line now before the meeting was calculated at 67 miles. He did not, of course, think it necessary to go through the whole prospectus, but he would observe the traffic was considered large, and the convenience to the town very great. With these few remarks he should call on gentlemen present to make some suggestions on the question. G. LEDGARD, Esq., was of opinion that it would be premature to support the line now before the town, without its advantages being well pointed out, and that the probabilities of its being carried to comple tion were also shown. The town should recollect that the South-Western and the Great Western Companies came in the neighbourhood, and both intended to reach 131andford. Both these companies were powerful, and if the inhabitants of Poole came to a resolution of sup porting the line from Poole Harbour to Bristol, the opposition of both would be exerted against the scheme. —(lleer.) He thought it, under these circumstances, preferable to come to no conlusion upon the Bristol line at present. Mr. PYKE inquired if the Bristol line was intended to communicate with other great lines at Bristol, or to ter minate tSere ? Mr. Weeen replied that the line would join others, namely, the Gloucester and other lines, which would carry the traffic northwards. Mr. PYKE was of opinion that the interest of Poole, as respected railways, had not been sufficiently cared for.—(Hear, hear.) The Southampton and Dorchester line had fixed their terminus at Ham, and not in the to en of Poole. Ile thought by the position in which Poole spas placed by the railway companies already in their neighbourhood, the town should support an intl.:- pender t bee. As one of the shippers of clay he should wish a line by which clay coull be carried by rail direct to the Potteries where it was wanted, and he thought the Bristol and Poole Harbour Company would be able to do so by their line. The other day he had seen and conversed with the celebrated George Stephenson, at Birmingham, who hid gone in that neighbourhood for the establishment of potteries, and he had told him that the manufacturers were enabled to carry by the rail at the small expense of three halfpence a ten, with the addition of half-a-farthing for the trucks. Look, therefore, at the effect of a railway on the transit of clay; the cost of freight of which by vessel to Bristol, was 10s. a ton, and 10s, more in additional expenses. Poole required a railway. He believed the town might have been accommodated with a railway coming via Salisbury, had not a division of opinion taken place upon the subject. He had no doubt that the line would have been brought to Poole. Undo these considerations, thinigh it appeared, no one of the promoters was-present to explain the good purposes of the line, he thought the ielfabitants of the town were, nevertheless, ibound to support it, and he had littl e doubt the project would eventually be carried into beneficial effect.—(Applause.) Mr. PARROTT said he agreed with some of the obser vations which had fallen from Mr. Pyke, and some from Mr. Ledgard. It would certainly be of undoubted ad vantage to the town of P o ol e , if a company cou ld b e in duced to come to the town, but it seemed impossible, at least, with the lines in the neighbourhood. The Great Western did not wish, it would appear, to come beyond Blandford, and the Southampton and Dorchester no fur ther than Ham. He did not see how Poole could rest satis fied with a connexion with these only. No place, per haps, in the whole kingdom required a connexion with the manufacturing districts more than Poole, for the cheapness of the port was well known, and its connexion with the internal part of the kingdom would, without doubt, make her recommendations more available. It was the bounden duty of Poole to seize any chance that presented itself to obtain this benefit.—(Hear.) According to his opi h2esvi a n •e g ar h s een called occupiedled on opi nion .there were three points which ma d e t h e B r i sto l an d Poole Harbour Railway benefi c i a l to t h e town. Br i stol would be benefited by the line, th oug h no more t h an Poole. It would avoid the passa ge roun d t h e L an d' s End, a project which, 'e and whi c h passage, could it have ago, lthe give evi dence atten tion o f o t n he t h p e u bl subject,been effected, would have cost two m illi ons o f money. This Land's End passage would be avo id e d b y t h e rail way to Bristol, and bring the traff ic hith erto pass i ng having that way to the port of Poole for land transit. Ile would not allude to the trade with Manchester, that town being too near Liverpool to be affected; but he could safely say that the foreign trade of Birmingham and its busy neighbourhood could be brought to the town in which they were then met. Southampton could be no rival to Poole. Southampton would answer as a port on a large scale, where vessels of heavy tonnage came once a year. That place could not interfere with a port like Poole, where ships could enter often and at very small charges. These were his points of consideration. The fruit trade of the Mediterranean, both green and dry, would also be brought to Poole. For these and other considerations he thought the line of railway under dis cussion likely to prove, if completed, of considerable benefit to the town. Mr.'PYKE read a resolution which he thought would support a line of railway without giving a pledge. Mr. W. PEARCE seconded the motion. No doubt could exist that a line of railway connecting Poole with the manufacturing districts would be of immense ad vantage. The traffic on the proposed line would be un doubted!), great ; indeed it w as state d as lik e l y to b e enormous. It was not improbabl e th a t b y a proper li ne an important communication with F rance an d t h e Conti nent Gp. E mightEne LEDGARD, also e promoted. Esq q agre e d w i t h the necessity exist ing of railway communication. It was very well for Mr. Pyke and others who supplied clay to speak of railways, as connected with their own interests, but 40,000 tons of clay were annually brought from the Isle of Purbeck and shipped at Poole for the pot teries—thus employing 260 vessels. The trade of these vessels would be lost. Much inland trade existed, in coals, for instance, from the port of Poole. This was carried into the interior by carts and waggons, all of which came to Poole, eaciniperhaps, not spending in the town less than from ss. to 7s. each visit. Besides, the intention of this company might, after all, end in smoke. He did not think they would be ready to make the necessary deposit of 150,0001. by the 16th of January, the legal time to do so. Some of the landowners did net like the scheme, and S:r J. Guest would not have supported the Southampton and Dorchester if against the interests of Poole. He thought, under all the circl - et stances, that the meeting should stand adjourned until the 17th of January, as oy that period it would be seen if the company had paid its deposits, and was, there fore in a coialition to go to Parliament. He would propose this as an amendment. The 17th falling on a Sunday, Mr. Ledgard said any other day might be named after the day of deposit. Mr. IticKm . AN said he thought, if the line was calcu lated to do good to Poole, that every facility should be shown to the project. It would be better that an earlier day should be named, b.?eause, if proper explanations were made, they might strengthen the views of the pro moters before the 16th of January. If, therefore, Mr. Ledgard would name an ea.rlier day, he should second his amendment. Mr. LEI:CARD had no objection to name an earlier day. Mr. PARROTT said he had no objection to an adjourn ment. Mr. PENNEY saw no obje,:tion to an adjournment. Mr. PYRE thought no good could result by an ad journment. No place in the country required railway connexion more than poor.e. The town was i,olated, and this isolation he wished to remove. If the railway before the meeting was likely so at once. to clo good to Poole, why not say Eventually the amendment was withdrawn, and a general resolution in famour of the line, without a pledge to support it, and chat a further meeting be held on the 29th instant in corder to obtain fuller explana tions from the promoters of the undertaking, who should be specially requested to attend, was carried unani mously.

HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER GORGON. Commander Astley Cooper Key, late one of the Lieutenants of the Gorgon steam frigate, has just pub• lished a narrative of the stranding of that ship in the Bay of Monte Video, on the 10th May, 1844, and of her recovery through the indefatigable exertions of her Captain, now Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.8., and his officers and crew, aided by men and stores sent from her Majesty's vessels in the Bay and other sources, The book contains several plates exhibiting the position of the ship when first embedded in the sand, and drawings of the • various articles and methods adopted in getting her afloat. It is full of instructive information for naval officers how to ' act, should any have the ill luck to experi ence the same similar calamity. Commander Key states that the Gorgon, in the beginning of May, was lying at single anchor in the River Plate, with fifty fathoms on her best bower, the small bower and sheet cables bent, and the anchors clear ; 280 tons of coal on board, and the engines in a high state of efficiency; they had been disconnected and all the bearings examined, and proved to be in perfect order; and then follows Commander Key's narrative of the cause of the Gorgon's getting on shore, viz—" On the morning of the 9th of May a breeze set in from the S.W., steadily freshening during the day. At noon the barometer stood at 29.7 in., but before dark it had fallen to 29.5 in., thereby indicating an approach ing gale. At sunset, after evening quarters, the yards and topmasts were sent on deck, and best bower cable veered to 705 fathoms. It did not escape the observe Lion of those on board that the Gorgon was the only inateol- war in the bay that had taken this precaution; at eight an anchor watch was set, Capt. Hotham's orders for the night being, if the wind increases so as to require it, let go the small bower, before veering more on the beet bower.' Between midnight nail daylight, on the 10[h, the wind had gradually freshened, the sea hav ing risen considerably ; and the squalls becoming more frequent and of greater violence, the boats and guns were resecured with additional lashings, and all made snug on deck for the approaching gale. At 7h. 40m. e.m. the ship began to drive, the small bower anchor was instantly let go, and the cable veered to 30 fathoms, veering IA the same time to 92 fathoms on the best bower. The tires were lighted, and the steam got up in all the boilers ; the main trysail was bent, and close reefed. The ship still driving, the small bower was veered to 42 fathoms, and the ship steamed ahead to ease the strain on the cables; from time peculiar set of the tide, the Gorgon, as well as the other vessels in the bay, rode with the wind and sea three points on the pert bow; it is evident thee, •wing to this important circum stance, the paddle-wheels, on which a steamer at anchor usually relies to relieve the strains on her cables, proved of no service to her. The close-reeled main topsail was then set to assist in bringing her head to the sea, but without effect; as the ship was still being set in towards a reef of rocks stretching out from the town, it was determined to pick up the small bower, slip the best bower, and steam ;out to the outer roads, clear of all danger; the attempt was mad e , b u t such was now the force of the gale, that not an inch of the cable could be hove in; every nipper carried away; in fact, owing to the direction in which the cable grew, the strain on the hawsepipe was so great, that it was in one send literally shattered in pieces, and the two hawse-holes nearly forced into one. Our cables were now buoyed ready for slipping, if required. At 11 A. M. the small bower cable parted from the bitts. Our course was now clear; a few minutes more and the ship would be on the rock astern; two anchors had failed to bola her, and there was no reason to anticipate that one could do better ; the best bower was therefore slipped and full power given to the engines. The fury of the gale baffled all our attempts; truly mortifying was it to observe that with full steam power, the helm hard-a-starboard, and the main topsail set, she would not come nearer than three points of the wind, and would then pay off. The position of two Brazilian cor vettes etas also sadly against us—we were obliged to bear up under their sterns, and were consequently thrown so much further to leeward. The ship was now approaching a dangerous vicinity—the western side of the bay. The remainder of the small lower cable was shackled into the sheet, and at 11 40 A.M., the sheet anchor was let go, veering to 75 fathoms on the cable. At noon the gale had fearfully risen, and showed no sign of breaking; bat the anchor was holding well, and she ship riding easy. It behoved us, however, to guard against the worst. Not a moment was lost in clearing the stream anchor and backing it with the kedge, banding thereto the twelve-inch towing cable ; but before these anchors could be got ready, the sheet chain parted. A last effort was made to bring the ship's head to wind by steam, but this failed ; the vicinity of the land, and shoalness of the water, soon obliged us to stop the engines. 'A more disheartening situation could not be conceived. Hero was one of the Queen's finest steamers, with her engines, wheels, and gear in splendid order, perfectly unmanageable, able to steer but one course b y the wind, which course would not carry her clear of danger: to wear was impracticable, the attempt would have endangered the merchant ships in the harbour, and a glance of the eye showed that she could not weather the opposite point of the bay. A sternboard in such a gale would have been madness. What then remained to be done? Excepting the stream and kedge, our anchors were all gone; the guns were slung, and the stream and kedge let go, but as the latter failed to check her for a moment, it was deemed useless to risk the loss of the first; in the meantime, the ship paid round off before the wind, and about four o'clock P.m • ~ struck abaft ; on this, C a ptain llotharn gave immediate orders to take in the main-trysail, draw the fires, and pump the boilers full, to check her going through the mud. A dreadfully dark night succeeded a disastrous day; the mo tion indicated that the ship continued to drive through the mud, and as a matter of precaution, the topmasts, fore and topsail yards, were got over as shores. Still we imagined that the shoalness of the water would soon arrest our progress, and that we should be able at the conclusion of the gale to-day to drag her afloat without any difficulty. Judge, therefore, of our horror, when daylight broke, and we found the ship broadside on the sandy beach at the top of the tide, with three and-a-half feet water under the paddle-wheels. Nor was this the worst: the fall of the tide left the Gorgon buried thirteen feet in the sand on the starboard side, and nine feet on the port, with the water just washing up tho gangway. Daylight on the 11th disclosed to us our truly deplorable situation; in the course of the day the gale gradually abated, and the water receding, leaving the Gorgon perfectly dry to within a few feet of her stern-post, and embedded in sand—a sad position for a 1,100 ton ship. In the same gale, nine merchant vessels became complete wrecks .—Then follow the mea sures adopted by Captain Hotham, first to recover the anchors; the assistance which was rendered by her Ma- jesty's ships, the American frigate Congress, and General Oribe, commander-in-chief of the Buenos Ayres army, to get her out of the sand, and the final accomplishment of the exertions of Captain Hotham, his officers, and men, by getting the Gorgon into deep water on the Ist of November, after being nearly six months imbedded in sand and mud; the ship, during that time, was cleared of everything but her engines. The narrative then details the prJceedings of the Gorgon until she quitted the Brazils. ft is known that she recently arrived at Spit head in good order, and was sent to Woolwich, where the now lies in ordinary. INTERESTING ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERY. Friday last, the 10ch i current, the excavators on the Caledonian Railway, working - n the Avon valley, dis covered, a few miles above Beattock, some hi g hly in teresting relics of antiquity, coeval with the period when Britain was under the sway of all-conquering Rome. The first object which attracted attention was the re mains of what appeared to have been the foundations of a house. Some copper coins were next turned up, about the size of our halfpennies : on one side there is it male head, probably of one of the emperors, and on the ob verse " Cesar Rone," in Roman characters very similar to those now in use. A sword was next discovered, which appears to be formed of brass. By far the most interesting discovery, however, was that of a small stone trough, inverted, and placed upon a flat block of the same material, which up on exam i nat i on was f ound to contain a brazen or brorze case, round in its form, two feet in length, and six inches in dia meter. Within this case was a precious manu script, which at the time it was so car, fully concealed must have been of high value in the eyes of its possessor. The manuscript, or rather book, is written on vellum, in rolls, as was the Roman custom, each roll is connected with the other by a slip of the same material. In length it is altogether about 30 feet and two in breadth. The writing is beautifully executed in the Latin language, and at the top the words "His- • toria Roam," in large characters, are quite distinct. A cursory examination has led some to suppose that it is a copy of part of Livy's celebrated history ; and as it is expected that, the whole of the manuscript can be deci- phered, perchance some of the lost books of the Roman historian ?nay b^ novk restored to the literary world. A suar.;i nianwierip, was Ltiso tuned in the case,also written on parchment, and about a foot square in size, but the writing of this is very illegible ; on the back are the words "Ad Agricolam." Agricola is the Latin for a husbandman. But it was the name of the Governor of Britain under the Emperors Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. These interesting relics, which, probably, owe their good preservation to the close manner in which their case wf.l3 sealed up, have been, in the meantime, carefully taken to Moffat Nlante, ar.d the Society of Anti quarians has been informed of the discovery. It is an historical fact, that the Romans entered Scotland by Annandale, and distinct eviden2e of their presence may be seen at Burnswark and other places in the vale of Annan. Some years ago a copper cooking vessel, appa rently of Roman workmanship, was found a few miles below Moffat. The Avon valley presents at the present _time a very remarkable appearance. In a wild, past ral district, where farmhouses and cottages are miles apart, and where, until lately, everything seemed in a state of nature save the line of the mail road, thousands of men, aided by modern machinery, are now engaged in the stupendous works necessary in railway formation. A valley which lately looked as if it had been undisturbed since the creation, appears for the first time to be brought under the influence of the active world without, to take its part in one great object of the age—the increase of intercourse and annihilation - of distance.—Dumfries Courier. STATUS OF THE EDUCATOR. Dr. Leonard Schmitz, rector of the High School, Edinburgh, has addressed the following letter to Mr. Connor, Chairman of the Glasgow Teachers' Associa tion : " 1 I, Carlton-terrace, Edinburgh, Nov. 26, 1846. "Sir,—ln reply to your circular and letter of the 24th inst., I beg to say, that I most cordially approve of the movement which is going on in Glasgow for the purpose of improving the education of the young, and of elevating the standing of the teacher. The subject is one of the utmost importance, and I am glad to see that associa tions are forming in England as in Scotland to effect those most desirable objects. It is scarcely yet a twelve month since I had an opportunity of observing Scotch education and the status of Scotch teachers, but lam al ready so deeply impressed with the deficiencies in both respects, that nothing could give me greater pleasure than to make my views public, and thus to contribute my mite to the amelioration of both ; but unfortunately my hands are at present so fully occupied with other matters, that I cannot spare the time to draw up such a pamphlet as I would wish to put forward. The same circumstances also prevents me taking a prominent, or as you seem to wish, the leading part, in the movement here at E linburgh. I regret this the more, as many of thu leading teachers he re seem t o b e satisfied ; and be ing comfortable themselves, like to think that others are so also, or at least are disinclined to bestir themselves for improvement, as it is far easier to go on in the way one has been accustomed to than to strike into new paths. I have not yet had an opportunity of consult ing my colleagues, but I shall make a point of doing so as early as I can ; and I address these lines to you that you may, without delay, be in possession of my personal views, the principal ones of which I will here put d3wn, because by their adoption I feel convinced that educa tian would rise, and that the teacher would become honoured and respected here as he is in the continental states : " 1. No boy should be allowed to advance from one class of a school to a higher one until he is really fit for it. Much useful time would thus be gained, parents would be more honestly dealt with, and would know in proper time whether their sons are fit for a profession or not. " 2. Teachers should not, like artisans, receive the fees from the hands of the boys, but all fees should be paid to a secretary or treasurer appointed for the pur pose. " 3. All the income of a school should go to a com mon fund, out of which the teachers should have salaries proportionate to their rank and merits, like all other public functionaries. " 4. The present system of making teachers dependent upon the number of their pupils is wrong in the ex. treme, in as much as it compels the teacher, like a shop keeper or tralesrean, to have recourse to puffing and all manner of trickery to get customers. It places the teacher on a level.with shoemakers and tailors ; with this difference, that every man can judge of the goodness of a pair of shoes, and the fairness of their price, whereas few are capable of judging of the merits of a teacher. In the present system, the trickster has often the advantage over a sound and intelligent teacher. " 5. In order to raise the intellectual character of the teacher, it is necessary that no one should be admitted to the gener.,l class of a university who cannot give evi dence of having previously acquired a certain amount of knowledge. There must be a standard for admission to a university. At present unripe lads go to a university, and after attending a session or two, during which the professor has been obliged to act the part of a drudging schoolmaster, the young men get into office, and become teachers, without the slightest notion of the high voca tion of a teacher. There should in every university be separate courses on Paedagogic, &c., for those who wish to become teachers. "G. No one should be appointed teacher, without passing through a strict examination, not only in regard to his acquirements, but also as to his qualifications for communicating knowledge. " 7. There shoull be proper authorities to dismiss a master, if he is found unfit or negligent in the discharge of his duties. "I might mention 'many other points and prove the the truth of my assertions by argument, as well as by my own experience, but I trust the few remarks I have here made, and which I consider to be of vital im portance, may be of some use to you. If any one will undertake to form an Association in Edinburgh, of suffi cient respectability, I shall, with pleasure, do all that lies in my power to promote its objects. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " C. W. Connor, Esq." L. SCHMITZ. SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

ADVENTURES OF AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—On Tues day night, at six o'clock, an express train on the York and Newcastle Railway left Darlington, being about an hour and a half behind its usual time, having been de tained by the snow. The road was heavy all the way, and an additional engine was put to at Belmont, but there was no stoppage caused by the snow till they reached Washington, which it did about eight o'clock on Tuesday night. At Washington station the train stopped half an hour, and it being reported there that the line was passable, it proceeded; but it had not gone more than half a mile when it was brought to a stand still. The engine-men and stokers, who were prepared with shovels, partially cleared away the snow which had drifted in the path of the engine's, arid the steam was again put on. Another half mile was got over, but fur ther progress was found to be impracticable. The snow drifted round the carriages with such rapidity, that in a very ifew minutes it was found impossible to move them either one way or the other, and the snow gathering around the engine, soon extinguished the fires, and rendered all attempts at self-extrication hopeless. In this dilemma, what was to be done? awe) gentlemen, second-class passengers, determined on walking onward through the snow ; and away they went steering in the direction of the telegraphic wires. As they have not been heard of since, it is pro bable they succeeded, after many difficulties, of course, in reaching their destination, wherever it was. One gentleman, returning from the hymeneal altar, having been married but a few days previously in London, and was bringing home his bride, suggested to his cara sposa the expediency of returning to Washington, where a comfortable bed might be found more convenient for repose than the interior of a railway carriage, and the suggestion having been approved, the adventurous pair essayed the difficult and dangerous task. There were other ladies in the train, which comprised fifteen pas sengers in all, including the two that had already de parted, but none thought proper to imitate her example. Five gentlemen escorted the bride and bridegroom, leav ing behind them, in the train, three ladies and three gentleun n, who remained there till noon on Wednesday, when they also repaired to Wellington, under the guid ance of the engine -drivers, leaving Donaldson, the guard of the train, alone. All parties reached Wellington in safety, and found comfortable accommodation at the inn near the station, and at the village in its vicin►ty. This is perhapa the first instance on record of a railway train having been buried in the snow. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The Sir William Wallace steamer, arrived at Blackwall frcm Boulogne, has brought another entire cargo of live cattle, comprising forty-two cows and 600 sheep, the produce of France. AMERICA. We have received New York papers, via Havre, to the 3d of December, three days later than the previous dates. We append a few extracts, but no thing of importance had taken place since the sailing of the last arrivals : WEnsrEn DINNER.—A great dinner was given at Philadelphia, on the Ist of December, in honour of this statesman ; 400 persons sat down at two o'clock to the banquet, 1,500 ladies occupying the gallery. Upon the removal of the cloth the reading of the regular toasts commenced. The third toast was," Daniel Webster, the faithful representative, the able negotiator, the fearless statesman, the eloquent defender of the constitution— his patriotic services demand our gratitude—his untar nished honour is the nation's property." After the clamorous manifestations of approval of the above senti ment had somewhat subsided, Mr. Webster arose and commenieed the delivery of oue of his most masterly and eloquent efforts. The course of the present administra tion of the general government was elaborately com mente•d on, and a comparison was instituted between the m aasures of Andrew Jackson and those of James K. Polk. The Mexican war was brought upon the tapir, and Kr. Polk was condemned as being the origin of it. Mr. Webster considered that this was not his opinion alone, but it was also the opinion of a majority of the people, as the result of the recent elections plainly in dicate& No better evidence of the dissatisfaction of the people with regard to the measures of Mr. Polk and his administration was wanting, than the mere fact of the recent great revolution in political affairs. The idea of the Senate's making the Oregon treaty to meet the sanction and approbation of the President, was expa tiated upon in the mcst bitter and sarcastic manner.— Courier. MEXICO. Files of Vera Cruz papers, to the 7th of November in clusive, have been received at the Navy Department. The general character of the contents of these papers indicate ii determination on the part of the people of Mexico to rouse themselves to some great effort. All means are made use of to excite a national spirit, and inflame rational animosity. The most exaggerated accounts are given of the excesses committed by the American. (volunteer) troops at Monterey, who are charged with robbery, murder, and rape. Extracts of letters from the United States are published, in which it is represented that our people, especially in the northern states, have become thoroughly disgusted with the war on account of its enormous expenses, amounting to half a million of dollars per diem, and that it has become so odious that it will be impracticable for our Government to raise the required number of troops—that the Senate will refuse any further appropriations for the war!— that the British Government has insisted on its media tion being accepted, &c.— Union. THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA. THE NEESAGE.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT.— The wind having kept in the N.E. for some days past, it is not very probable that the American President's Message can arrive by either of the sailing packets. The steam-ship Caledonia will be 13 days out on Wednesday next, and may be looked for on that or the following day. She will bring the Message and a week's proceed ings of Congress. POTATO ROT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ripon, Dec. 22, 1846. SIR, —Some time s i nce I saw addressed to farmers generally, who stored their potatoes in pies, to cover them well with stable manure, to secure them from frost, which I have no doubt would be the case, but it would destroy the crop for next year, as I am sure not one half would ever grow ; therefore I advise those who have done so to lose no time in uncovering them, and to take off carefully a foot thick of those on the outside, for house use, as I believe, it will not injure them for use. It would not be unadvisable to take care of some of the outsides, to satisfy themselves as to the result by planting them next spring. 'I am, Sir, yours, &c., Q. C. DEATH OF THE HON. J. BARRINGTON FORBES.— We hr.ve the painful duty to announce the death of the Hon. Jonathan Barrington Forbes, eldest son of Lord Forbes. The Hon. Gentleman died at Oxford on Thurs• last, of scarlet fever, after an illness of only two days; he would have attained his 18th year on the 4th prox imo. The d ec e as ed Has at the university pursing his studies, being a Fellow Commoner of Oriel College. His death will be a severe affliction to Lord and Lady Forks, as his attainments gave great promise. DEATH OF GENERAL GEORGE MITCHELL.—On Saturday accounts were received of the death at Fisher ton Anger, near S a li s b ury , o f G enera l G eorge Mitchell, at a very advanced age, for had he lived a few days longer he would have completed the 89th year of his age. He died on Tuesday afternoon, at.three o'clock, after a short illness. The gallant deceased was known to every pe rson res idi ng at S a l is b ury an d its vicinity, from the singularity of his habits, and many tales are told of his eccentricities. He repeatedly called in the poorest of his neighbours to share the hospitalities of his table ; and his benevolence to the indigent was most bountiful. The venerable general entered the army as fur back as February, 1776, nearly 70 years ago. SEASONABLE BENEVOLENCE IN WINDSOR AND ITS VICINITY.--T HE QUEEN'S GIFTS.—Her Majesty's gifts to the poor of Windsor, consisting of blankets, meat, bread, plum-pudding, &c. will be given away to the poor of Windsor, co ns i st i ng o f b etween 400 and 500 families, under the superintendence of the Hon. and Rev C. L. Courtenay, the Queen's domestic chaplain, and the parochial authorities, in the Riding-school at the Royal Mews, on New Year's-day, in the presence of her Ma jesty, the Prince Consort, and the members of the court. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENER AL OP CANADA . Ili I Excellency the Earl of Elgin and suite, according to present arrangements, will embark for North America on the 4th of next month, from Liverpool, on board the Boston mail-racket steamer, whence his Lordship pro ceeds overland to Montreal. The Earl and Countess are expected to arrive in town on Monday next from Scot land. The Countess will not join the Noble Earl until the advance of the spring. WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE AN APOTHECARY'S SHOP. —Limestone contains from 24 to 42 per cent, of the car bonate of magnesia, from which Epsom salts are pro cured by the application of sulphuric acid. Hence, as Westminster-bridge is built of the rock, it would, if covered with water and sulphuric acid, be converted into Epsom salt. WORTS by ROBERT I. CIILVERWELL, M,n. M.R.C.S.
