THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY, as the representat;ye.9f the city of Edinburgh, is a consummation of that inte resting election which cannot create the slightest astonishment. A love for civil and religious liberty has penetrated too deeply into the popular heart to be eradicated by a sickly puff of fanaticism : the pro priety, not to say the common justice of the endow ment which has so stirred up the bile of certain ultra religionists is too indisputable a fact to be over whelmed by the prejudices of a feeble minority. Sir CULLING E. SMITH has discovered himself to have been the victim of an enormous delusion. He erroneously conceive' that he was unfurling a gon falon before the citizens of the Scotch capital, when the symbol of his principles of opposition was nothing more than the fly-leaf of a halfpenny tract. It is hardly credible that any candidate should have been entered against Mr. MACAULAY upon a plea so sin gularly vexatious ; and the adventure partakes more of the characteristic of rashness, because of the conso nance which has hitherto prevailed without interrup tion between the political and religious sentiments of that constituency and the Paymaster of her MAJESTY'S Forces. Perhaps, however, we should rather congratulate ourselves upon the circumstance of this antagonism, since through its intervention another most signal victory has been elicited in favour of liberality. Perhaps we should rejoice at the appear ance of the rejected candidate upon the hustings, be cause by that interposition his successful opponent is "set off" as by a foil. Nothing, indeed, could be more gratifying than the manner in which this pseudo -contest has been brought to a conclusion. Upon the final close of the poll one thousand seven hundred and thirty-five votes are found to have been registered for Mr. F. B. MACAULAY ; eight hundred and thirty two only for Sir C. E. SMITH, confirming the elec tion of the former by a majority of nine hundred and three. More than double the number of electors were, therefore, polled in favour of the Ministerial candidate above those who supported his antagonist. That is but natural, considering the uniform affec tion of the Edinburgh population to the most coinpre hensive and the most generous of political policies. , — it is but natural, considering the candour with which Mr. MACAULAY'S genius and his integrity are there appreciated—it is but natural, considering that a career of judicious and popular legislation, and a mind gifted with the most splendid abilities, was op posed merely upon the irritation of a single class, merely upon the warp of a single measure, merely upon the questi enable character of a single act of legislative charity! We will dispassionately etaneede that every individual inimical to the nomination of Mr. - MACAULAY %as actuated s h.ly by motives the 'most conscientious—we \vat grant this much, nay we will go so far as to believe it; nevertheless everything proves those 832 persons to have been mistaken in so thinking. The verdict of the national jury has been given against them—l,73s individuals out of their own constituency have proclaimed their bugbears to be altogether illusory. And, as though in confirma tion of that announcement, Mr. MACAULAY, in re- turning his acknowledgments and congratulations to the electors, has declared that he believes his now triumphant cause to be " the cause of true religion." lie believes it to be the cause of true religion! An intellect so keen in the perception of a truth, and so analytical in the scanning of a sentence, would never celebrate the realisation of his Par liamentary hopes by the utterance of a para dox ! Nevertheless, Sir C. E. SMITH and his adherents assert their conviction that the policy of the new Paymaster of the Forces is not only det►i mental to the interests of the Established Church, but is subversive of all religion. These conflicting opinions have been submitted to the decision of the enfranchised citizens of Edinburgh, and by an ac cordance of more than two to one the views of Mr. MACAULAY have been sanctioned. That approval is a remarkable triumph for the world-wide doctrine of civil and religious liberty, and this not so much from the man and the principle involved in its con sideration, as from the fact of that victory having been achieved in the northern metropolis. It will be wel corned with alacrity throughout the country, and will act as a salutary lesson both in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. MACAULAY is worthy of Edinburgh, and Edinburgh of MACAULAY. One of those horrible occurrences that shock and outrage every feeling of humanity has recently taken place in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis, and has terminated in the death of the unfortunate victim of military severity, and of one of the remnants of a barbarous and inhuman code. Although every exer tion appears to have been used for the purpose of keeping the revolting transaction from the know ledge of the public, yet, owing to the promptitude of Inspector LAWRENCE, of the T division of police, and of Mr. BREr4T, the Coroner's summoning officer for Heston, it has been made the sulject of an inquiry before the Co roner, which, under any circumstances, must be pro _ ductire of much benefit ; fur if the circumstances con- Inetted with the case have been unduly exaggerated, the feelings of horror and indignation that now affect and disturb the minds of the public will be api,eased and mitigated; ur, if they have been truly stated, and: tl;e revoiting and b,.uta- Using flatures should be found to exist, we doubt not that the feeling will become universal, 4111 that the voice of public opinion will so loudly de rnand the abolition of corporeal punishment, as to cause its total and spe‘dy abolition. It appears that a private soldier of the 7th Hus sars, named FREDERICK WHITE, has recently been flogged at Hounslow Barracks for some viola tion of military discipline ; that after the in fliction he was removed to the hospital of the barracks, where he died on Saturday last. No mention, however, was made made of the trans action, and he was to have been buried yesterday, without any inquiry into the circumstances by which his death was occasioned. Owing to the vigilance of the persons we have already mentioned, the burial was stopped, and a jury were yesterday even ing impanelled before Mr. WAILLEY to investi gate the cause of his death. The inquest was adjourned until some day in the course of the ensuing week, in order to afford an opportunity to the friends of the unfortunate young man, to whom, it appeared, no notice whatever had been given of the inquiry, or even of his melancholy end, of being pre sent and watching the proceedings, and also to have the several witnesses in attendance, and to give time to a medical man, unconnected with the army, t o see and examine the body—precautions, which the secresy observed and the frightful appearanc e of the body, rendered prudent and necessary. It i s said that the back, from the nape of the neck to the loins, presented a deep purple appear ance, and that a large piece of flesh, nine inches one way and eight inches another, had been cut awa y from the middle of the back, where the greatest inflammation had manifestly been. We shall, for the present, refrain from any com ment on the foregoing statement, as it has been made the subject of judicial inquiry, which will, doubtless, be conducted in the inw , t stringent and efficient manner. If, however, it should appear that the death was in any manner occasioned or .even hastened by the flogging, a serious responsibility will fall on those who attempted ttkeeliioll4ll eGeggilOidiag tOjililltell UP AIWA without procuring that investigation which should ever take place when a British subject has lost his I life through any but natural causes. We have ever been conscientiously opposed to the whole system of military flogging. There never can exist the imperative necessity which alone could jus tify so horrible an alternative, when the country is at peace, and the regiment at barracks, when the ordinary and more humane remedies of increased drill, stoppage of pay, solitary confinement, or other means within the power of a commanding officer, will be found amply sufficient to preserve the necessary diicipline, and to procure the proper discharge of the regimental duties by the soldiers. In many of the regiments that are so fOrtunate as to be placed under the command of humane officers, the lash, with all its degrading incidents, has been practically abo lished, and yet as full and efficient a control has been kept up, and a better and happier soldiery bear testimony to the efficacy of the milder rule. The man who has once been brought to the triangles is ever after rendered useless as a soldier; there is not a single instance of such a man afterwards redeeming his character and conducting himself Hell. The iron has entered into his soul, he feels that he h--s degraded beneath the rank of a man before the eyes of his conmides. is o 14 - ,nger can he tertain the proud feeling which wouldin duce him to attempt the zealous discharge of his duties, and thereby to raise hinis‘if in the good opinion of his officers and companions, and thus to obtain the promotion which it might be rea sonable for him to hope for ; his heart has been more severely tortured by the stripes than his body ; he becomes reckless, and seeks forgetfulness in the baneful vice of intoxication. A nuisance to his corps, he is at last, perhaps, driven from it in disgrace to misery and destitution. Surely, it is not in such a manner that British subjects, our fellow coumrymen, who have taken upon themselves the most arduous duties, who have yielded up a portion of their liberties for the public protection, should be treated. Much has lately been said of the necessity of irn proving the barracks, and the condition and comforts of the soldier—of affording to him the blessings of education, and raising him in the social scale. The example of other nations has been adduced to us, and the valuable results that have followed in every instance where such a course was adopted have been pointed out and commented upon, and we fully and entirely agree with what has been urged, and think that it is imperatively demanded at our hands, not only by considerations of policy, but of common justice. Let, however, the first improvement be the abolition of flogging ; let not the mere whim of a heartless and cruel commander be suffered to blast every prospect, and to degrade the gallant soldier, perhaps for some trivial and insignificant offence, or breach of regulations. How can you ex - pect the man with any degree of education, w ith any moral pride, or manly feeling, to enter into the ranks where such humiliation, such degradation is possible ? It cannot be; you must remove the disgrace. Let it not be said that the British army is so demo ralised, so insensible to every better feeling, that they can only be governed by the intervention of the lash. Wha'ever may be the degree of blame attachable to any party in the present instance, we sincerely hope that an earnest t-tfort will be made on behalf of our military brethren, and that such practices may no longer be sanctioned under the British flag. A letter from Rome, dated July 2d, published in the Augsb.trgh Gazette, states that the POPE the day before went on foot, accompanied only by a few pre lates awl sotne Swiss soldiers, to the church of the Salesian nuns, where the festival of the Visitation was being. celebrated. The inhabitants of Rome were surprised t ) see the Pore walkin4 through the streets, a circumstance which had not been witnessed since the days of Pope GraseGastELLl. his llouNEss on his return was received with great enthusiasm, an.) the acclamations of the crowd increased when be condescended to receive a petition presented to him by a poor man. On the Ist of July, the six car dinals, L AMBRUSCHINI, BERN ETTI, AMAT, GI ZZI, MATTEL, and Maxim, met to deliberate, and the POPE submitted the following questions for examination : First—How and in what manner sh:.uld an amnesty be granted ? Secondly—ln what way can the public debt be paid off? Thirdly—Would it be prudent to discharge the foreign troops? Fourthly—Would it be better for the Administration to possess one or two Secretaries of State ? Deputations daily arrived f:om all parts with ad Tresses of congratulation to the PorE. It was stated that the scientific men of Rome would this year be permitted to be present at the Scientific Congress at Genoa, and that the Congress would be celebrated next year at Rome ; the system of public instruction would be modified, and the cen sorship less severe, particularly on scientific matters. The expedition to the interior of Africa, projected by the late Pope, is now organised. It consists of Monsignor CASOLANI, recently appointed bishop, Father RYLLO, Dr. lisionLocueß, and ANGELO VINco. The last two were to leave Rome on the 2d of July, and to traverse Africa from Abyssinia to Senegambia, and from Congo to the Barbary States. CASOLANI and RYLLO are to leave Rome in No vember, to proceed to Egypt, and from thence en deavour to penetrate into the interior of Africa. The Courrier de Marseille publishes a letter from Rome of the sth, stating that the PorE having re ceived information that some young men from Bo logna had been ordered to return to the city, because some sonnets and satires upon the Papal Government had been found in one of their trunks, has desired that the order should be revoked, and expressed great anger at this infringement of personal liberty for so slight a cause. The Cologne Gazette states that letters have been received from Warsaw, which state that during his recent visit to that city, the Emperor NICHOLAS an nounced his intention of immediatkly proAairning the abolition of slavery throughout his dominions. It appears from these letters that the EMPEROR, during his stay at Warsaw, frequently perambulated the streets, and visited the public places without guards or attendants. According to the Journal qf Frankfort, there will be a meeting of provincial deputies held at Berlin early in 1847, to con idera p - copositioo for roforming the present mode of taxation, and for the discut,sion of vari ous linanci..,lque.Aions which will be subaliAed to them. Ma iiid papers ur in,: 9th have arrived. Tile Clamor Pato) ~tatei, that during his 5 , tij Paris, the Infante Dun ENaIQuB received visits at his hotel from M. Gutzor and from M. ODILON B These papers contain intelligence from Lisbon to the 31 instant. In the Diario of that day is a dispatch from the Civil Governor of Vivm, announcing the com plete restoration of tranquillity in the province of Tras-os-Montes. A Spanish transport, with 286 soldiers on board, had arrived at Lisbon on the 2d. She had left Ferrol for the West Indies, but the soldiers had mutinied, and forced the captain to convey them to Lisbon. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 9,—The Three per Cents. were done en the Madrid Bourse at 33 cash; the Five per Cents., at 20% ditto ; the Passives at 6% , ditto ; the Shares of the Bank of F e rnando, at 33b ; and those of Isabel, at 200. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. Monday being the fourth anniversary of the la mented death of his Royal Highness the Duke D'ORLEANS, a solemn service was performed in the funeral chapel of Dreux, in presence of their,,,MAJes- TIES and several members of the Royal Family, who had arrived from Paris for this pious ceremony. A. service was also performed in the chapel of St. Fer dinand,maast s S w ab as l on p v e i r l f l o e r . e l a n f a o l r l th th e e r e e p h o u se re o h f es t hoef sou the capital mass was perfor m ed for the repose of the s oul of the deceased Prince, and most of the theatres were closed. According to the Courricr Francai s , " a modifica tion in the Ministry is sp o k en o f f or the period at which the Chambers are to be convoked. Marshal SOULT is not the only one who retires. The retire ment of M. MARTIN (du Nord) is also mentioned. lie is, it is said, to cede his place to M. HEBERT ; and Al, DELANGLE, Advocate• General of the Court vi' Cabsution, is to replace M. ULBERT as Procureur- CT'eneral at the Cour Royale." The Opposition papers are labouring hard to create a sensation " by the Pritchard indemnity cry, but witiasaut produciug much pct.. the4,caster the Northen Railroad still engrossess public at tention. M. FRISSARD, the Government Inspector of Railways, I has addressed a report on the subject to the Minister of Public Works. The point of the running off the rails is indicated, he says, by a broken rail, and the mark of a wheel for the distance of 108 metres. Having described the occurrence of the accident, M. FRISSARD proceeds as follows : • "The causes of the accident are to be sought for either in the state of the road, the traction, or in the material. With regard to the first point it must be observed that the acci dent took place on a straight part of the line over an em oankment of seven metres in height. When an affair of such importance is in question it becomes necessary to go into a very minute examination, and are therethre carefully examined the level of the road both lengthwise and across it, and the result of this examination shows that the rails have undergone no alteration from their longitudinal posi- • tion, with tee exception of a slight depression caused by the carriages running off them. This could not be otherwise, for the embankment was completed before the winter of 1844, and was made with earth and chalk. This embankment, raised on a spot of peaty ground, experienced successive sinkings, which were tilled up and afterwards reciaired but little attention to keep it iii its primitive level. It therefore clearly appears to us that the execution of the line was in no w - ay connected with the accident of the Bth inst. Neither can aiiv fault be found with the manner in which it has two' kept up. That portion of the line having been given up to the company from the Ist fit Apal, it has Niace had the charge of keeping it in repair, and on this part of the line greet care had been taken. At the spot where the acci- Ant occurred the rails are displaced, the chairs are broken, and from the violent shucks, the sleepers placed on new ground were forced down, and thus caused the depression ebave alluded to. We have mentioned this depression be eattee it has been stated without reflection and without exa mination that tee accident was caused by the giving Nvay of the embankment formed on marshy ground. But even supposing this ;.fight depression to have existed prier to the accident, which it did not, it could not have occasioned it. for very sensible depressions are frequently to be found at the junction of embankments with works of art, and some inies the clearing brown of a locomotive has touched in go ing over those depressions without any incenvenience being felt by the train. The condition in which the road has been kept is therefore as little to be blamed as the execution. We now come to the traction, and have to inquire whether the too great speed of the train was the cause of the accident. or a sudden check broke the connecting chain of the carriages? The time at which the train passed the different statiens proves that the average rate of going was rather slow than excessive; the last distance from Arras to Fampoux, which is about eight kilometres (about five miles English), was gone ever in 22 minutes, which only gives 22 kilometres per hour. But the average rate of going does not prove that the slope of Out. 004 was not gone down with great rapidity. What might cause it to be presumed is the disposition of the first group; it indicates, in fict, that each of its elements must have been animated by a great speed to pass beyond the ele ments which preceded it, and to get before it in place of re maining behind. The speed of the other groups was dead ened by ploughing up transversely a greater length of the embankment. It may thus be considered that if in the de. cline of a slope where the rate of going is usually more rapid, a rise of a greater inclination is being surmounted, there will be a slackening of speed at the headed' the train, whereas the rear will continue to move with its primitive speed ; the middle of the train would then find itself compressed, and pushed out of the way. This hypothesis, which may explain the three points where the train was broken, and the dis placement of the rail on the left pushed towards the empty space, would not accord with the movement of other groups. However, if the engineers, on perceiving a disorder in the train, tried to stop the machines, the effect of the compression may have added to any other cause of going off the rails. A going off the rails may be occasioned by the rupture of one ' or several parts of the materiel; but how, in the midst of these broken fragments. can effects be sepa rated from causes? The materiel has been exa mined with great care; the wheels and axletrees are in excellent. condition; none of the latter have lieen broken or even biassed ; some wheels present slight marks of collision front striking against the rails, particularly hcse of the baggage waggon which was first precipitated. There have beets broken only a few junction-bars and some uniting chains, and the suspension-springs of the waggon just mentioned. It is impossible to say what piece was first broken, and that is perhaps the cause of the accident, for the rupture of a juction-bar produces oblique shocks. and may occasion a going oft' the rails. Every one has rivalled in zeal to lessee as much as possible the results of this deplorable event. The authorities did all they could to ai:l in saving the victims, and the last dutit.s were rendered with all de sirable propriety." M. FRISSARD concludes with the following " sum ming up :" " The catastrophe of Fampoux caliot be attributed either o the execution or the mode of keeping ef the road. Tae cause of it must therefore be sought tor elsewhere ; but how can the truth be discovered by interrogating witnesses, pre je,iced and troubled. or fragment , flung together, itt the ieidst of which effects are coefounded with causes. If, not with.standing all our researches, it has been impossible for us to arrive at a positive conclusion, we have been able at least to rectify many facts that were mislep:eeented and exaggerated by inexact reports. The Cour R , gale t,f Deuai having taken up the affair, au inquiry, euteren into by en lightened magistrates, will bring to light many facts and circumstances which remain unknown to us. The courts of law will come to the aid of scia,ce by furnillieg new data to resolve a question so interesting to public safety." The report is considered by the National and the Courrier Francais as completely insignificant. The latter journal concludes a lung article on the sultjecr, by giving the following as the causes of these dis asters : 1. On the parts of the line which required sleepers, only four were placed in lieu of five, as all the rules of art demand d. The Northern Company was informed of this necessity, but in order to comply with it, it would have been necessary to take up the rails along the whole line. 2. However the Ministry did not fear to de:ignate for the company the day of inauguration. The company, placed in the alter native of opening the line, or giving reasons for refusing to do so, preferred running the chances of a disaster, which was certain since it was foreseen, o depreciating their shares, by declaring that the line delivered by t h e Mi n i stry was badl y made, and that it was indispensaWe to take it up for fifth sleepers. 3. Once that the line was opened, the Prefect of Police imposed on the company the o bli gat i on of delivering it to public circulation, or to declare the motives for which such a course was to be suspended. It was again not to depreciate their shares that . the company decided on delivering to circulation a line which knew to be defec tiVe ; it adopted this course notwithstanding the detestable organisation of its service, which alone caused the disaster of the 9th July. In all that the company is as culpable as the Ministry: the former has given proofs of an inexcusable e.tgeruess after gain ; the second of an unp ar d ona bl e indif ference for the lives of passengers.,, The Journal de la Somme states that in addition to the fourteen persons killed as described in the official report, three have since died of the wounds. The Aid-de-camp of General OUDINOT is rapidly recover ing. He is now considered out of danger. It is stated by the Univers that in consequence of this accident parapets sufficiently high to prevent the waggons from falling over the banks, and strong enough to resist a violent shock, are to be established on the bridges and other dangerous passages along all the railroads in France. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and his squadron ar rived at La Goulette, near Tunis, on the 27th. The BEY invited the Prince to Tunis, where he remained from the 28th of June to the 3d of July. His reception was most cordial and courteous, and Tunis was the scene of continued festivities during the whole time of his stay. The Asmodee was dis p itched to Malta.on the 4th, fur coals. On the same day the squadron sailed for La Goulette, but its destination was unknown.

THE PENINSULAR. MAILS. (From the Herald.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. -- The Queen, Captain Russell, arrived off this port this morning. Her dates of departure are :—Gibraltar, July 6 ; Lisbon, July 10 ; Oporto, July 11 ; Vigo, July 12 ; Corunna, July 13. The Albion was in the Tagus, and the Polyphemus at Gibraltar. The Queen brings forty-four passengers. LISBON, JULY 10.—The Miguelite movement is rapidly subsiding. The fact is, th e leading men o f that p art y , seein g the utter inutili t y of the attempt, have thrown cold water upon the ardour of their fellow partisans by positively re fusing to have anything to do with so ho p eless an enter p rise. Not one influential Miguelite has taken a n y p art in i t . General Po ryas, w h o at one rime commanded the Miguelite army, and to whom the insurgents naturally looked as a leader, has set his face against the undertaking by joining with the other members of the Trasos Montes junta in au address to the Iliguelites calling upon them to submit to the Queen's authority. Uuder ciscumstances so discouraging:, they have of course given up the game for the present, al though a few insignificant guerrillas may yet continue to wander about th e northern provinces for a while. The officers an d soldiers who were implicated in the Almeida revolt i n 1844 h a ve returne d from their exile in Spain, were r On reaching Ab rantes, h oweve r, they by virtue of the amnesty rece ntl y ac i nformed that d to them. they would n o t b e a ll owe d to proceed t o Lisbon, as the y intended to d o , f or t h e body before the Queen, an d snapping their fingers at her, with a" here we are again, and no thanks to you," but that each individual would be furnished with a passport to return to men behindpurpose of presenting themselves in a his own home. Colonel Caesar de Vasconcellos, who is at their head, scouted this proposal, and having left his Government the "why and the wherefore" of so arbitrary a resolution. In •that the whole body were expectation coming down the Ta gu s, an immense crowd of people him, proceeded to this city to demand of the had assembled at the Blockhouse -square to welcome honour. It appears that this 2p par with bands of music and sky-rockets in abun dance. The disappointment at finding that he had come alone was of course very great; nevertheless the whole parently trifling question store of rockets were set fizzing and cracking in his is very likely topartial change of Ministry. The Duke of r almella and two of his colleagues are willing to give Iv a -, bring about a P ..) to Caesar de Vas-oncello's demand; but the other two Ministers, Monsinho and Lau reiro hold out against allowing the emigrants to make their proposed triumphant entrance ino ' t the capital, and as they are the minority, an d are determined not to yield the point, they will no doubt be obliged to retire from office, - to too imcceale4ll44bly by Viecomat Saderwgiciwe 4 M. Agniar, both of whom are of the Septembrist party. The discordance of Messrs. Monsinho and Loureiro, with their colleagues, has operated as a perpetual clog upon the movements of the Government, and it is well therefore that they should resign, as their ineffectual attempts to repress the growth of the democratic element of power only serve to keep up a dangerous state of irritation. The Duke of Pal mella's policy is far wiser; it is to laisser oiler, to let the people take their fling till they are tired of it, after which he will manage them his own way. He is occupied with a slashing plan of financial reform, the completion of which has been delayed by differences of opinion between the members of the commission appointed to frame it. In consequence of this, the commission has been partially reconstructed, by the resignation of two of the dissentient members, Visccunt. Sada Bandeira and M. Lopez Branco, and the appointment of three new members, Messrs. Avila, Garrett, and Polyczn po Jose Machado. There is no doubt that it is intended to ethet very great reductions in all salaries and allowances, including those to the Queen and Royal Family, as also in the number of civil employes, and to bring down the army to little more than half is present force. The Government is much embarrassed at present; the collection of the revenue in the provinces is at a stand-still, and the only resources are those derived from the Custom houses and tobacco contract. A bold measure like this, therefore, seems almost inevitable. The bare mention of it, however, has created so much alarm among the public, that it will, prubably, not be resorted to but in the last extremity. The July dividends on the internal debt are now in course of payment at the Board of Public Credit. The holders of bonds of this portion of the national debt are safe enott. 4 ll; whether the t4eivi bondholders are equally so, remains to be seen. Bank of Lisbon notes are still at a discount ..f about 2i percent. The bank continues its payments, but to a very limited extent. It- is pretty certain now that the meeting of the Cirtes ca'inot take place on the first of September, as intended, the plan which is to regulate the elections not having yet been agreed upon by the Ministers'. This deby has created much discontent, and is littiiinned by public opinion to the oppo sition of Messrs. Mousinho and Loureiro.. A Spanish transport entered this port last week, having on board between 200 and 300 soldiers, who had talt-n part in the recent Gal Udall insurrection, and who, 'as a siuuishment for that offence, were condemned to serve in the island of Cuba.' She was on her way to that island, in company with several other transports, under conv..y of the brig of war Nervion, when the soldiers, aking advantage of the disappearance of the brig of war, rose upon the crew, and obliged them to bear up for the T4.us. The Spanish Envoy, M. Brabo, has demanded them, :ts:deserters, but the Portuguese Government has refused to give them up, and they have since been landed, and are now in safety. With a view to the perfect restoration of tranquillity, a decree, of which the following is the substance, has been issued by the Government, : Atticie Ist. The districts of Oporto, Broga, Viana, Villa Real, Braganca, and Aveiro, are to form togethta one ad ministrative circle; and those of Vizen, Coimbra and Guarda, another similar circle. 2d, Each of these circles is to be placed under the direc tion of a central authority, with the title of Superior civil Chief, to whom the administrators of districts are to address all their reports, and whose orders they are to obey. The promulgation of this decree was followed by the appointment of Viscount Beire and M. Fonseca Mo gathaes as civil chiefs of the two circles respectively, and they both proceeded immediately •.o enter upo.i the exercise of their functions a-= such. The measure, however, is far from being likely to produce the desired effect, for by the telegraphic accounts received yesterday it appears that M. Fonseca Mogathaes, on arriving at Coimbra, was received with a sort of charivari by the people, and all the civil governors who were to have been subordinate to have reigned i heir offices. The Five per Cent. I nscriptions have got up to 53. THE LON DON JOINT-STOCK BANK.-(GENERAL MEETING THIS DAY.) The annual general meeting of this Compaty took place this day, in the. Board-room of the Bank, Princes-street, ninsion-house, w.ien there was a very full attendence of the proprietors. The Secretary, Mr. F. HEWET, having read the adverii , u - :- unlit ennvening the meeting, Mr. Clirigiie took the chair, and the usual preliminary b4 , iness having bee , ' tra , usacted, the follow lug report was read:— Ti,e directors have great. pleasure in presenting to the shAreholdtrs the halt-yearly statement of the allairs of the B mk.

Mr. CORNET wished that the directors would state at what point the rest in the guarantee fund would take place.---, (Hear, hear.) They would then have an increased dividend, or receive a uorms.—( Hear, bear.) The CHAIitmAN said that the subject should receive the very best consideration of the directors. It was only during the last three days that they were able to estimate what sur plus fund there would remain. There was a feeling on the part of the directors that the establishment should be placed t:nm therefore ofthe considered guarantee u h u m a i h . l e so fi ,l ll oT ought lib t e o bb'esisthaentdnintfilme3u- The report was then adopted, and after passing a vote of thauks to the Chairman, the mteting separated. EXPEDITIOUS JoU;tNEY TO NORWICH AND YARMOUTH. A special train left the Shoreditch station this morning at three minutes after five, to convey the passengers to the Norfolk steamer, which was appointed to sail for Rotterdam at a quarter before nine o'clock. The train propelled by engine No. 32, upon which were Mr. Borthwick, the engi neer, and Mr. Scott, the superintendent of the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, consisted of four four-bodied carriages, containing about sixty passengers, and a new and powerful break and luggage van recently introduced on this line. The train reached Bishop Stortford (32% miles) in forty-six minutes, and Cambridge (574) in one hour and twenty -seven minutes, including a delay of four minutes at Bishop Stortford for watering. Here an additional carriage was put on to accommodate twenty passengers, who had been book d at this station, and seven minutes were allowed for the re freshment of the London passengers. Brandon, 31 miles from Cambridge, and 884 from London, was reached at eighteen minutes past seven. The Eastern Counties Railway ungine was here detached and one belonging to the N0r6,11: Railway, under the special charge of Mr. Marshall, the resi dent e , !gineer and locomotive superintendent of that Com pany, was coupled on. From Brandon to Norwich, 38 miles Neere completed in forty-seven minutes, and from Norwich to Yarmouth (20 miles) in twenty-six minutes. The total distance of the latter place from London is 146 miles, and this was accomplished in three hours and thirty-seven •ninutas, including stoppages, or without stoppages three hours and sixteen minutes, about 48 miles an hour. It is but right to state that the. passengers expressed themselves highly gratified with the complete ease and comfort. with which they travelled—indeed, the almost total absence oscillation or jarring motion was the subject of general 43se rvat ion. Immediately upon the arrival of the train at the above h:Amed towns, and likewise at Ely and Thetford, copies of his morning's Sun; Times, Post, Herald, Chronicle, and Daily News, were dispatched by special me4sengers on horseback to the houses of the principal residents and the various hotels. As soon as the passengers were embarked, the Nor thlk put on her steam and left Yarmouth in splendid style. and the promoters of the "Pleasure Excursion to Rotterdam cid Yarmouth," fully expect to deliver copies of this morn ing's London journals at the Hague and at Amsterdam ! ut an early hour this evening.

Men are sent about town, dressed in white frocks, upon which are is scribed in large legible characters, such as workhouse clothes are branded with, the things to be sold, their prices, and the houses where they are sold. Even the Ant, Bee, and other cheap steam-boats have adopted this extraordinary means of advertising themselves. The men so engaged are not pre vented following other out-door occupation; as all their employers require is, that they should be constantly walking about. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TOWER.—The improvements and alterations in this ancient fortress ate making rapid pro gress. Last week a handsome tier of twenty-one steps, lead ing from the Traitor's-gate to the parade, on which the bar • racks are now erecting, was thrown open to the public, in place of the steep ascent which they had formerly to climb. A great progress has been made in the erection of the new Wellington Barracks, which have now risen to nearly forty feet from the ground. The official residence of the master furbisher in its rear, called Queen Elizabeth's Tower, from the circumstance of her confinement there by her sister, has been restored. Many other alterations are projected, parti cularly the enlargement and modernizing of the buildings in the neighbourhood of the old Mint, which has long been con sidered the most unhealthy part of the fortress. SALE OF PICTUItES.—:Ift Messrs. Foster's rooms, yes terday, there was a sale of pictures, some of which were de scribed as the works of Ludovico Caracci, feniers, Carlo Dolci, /sc. The prices for which these paintings were knocked down were remarkably low. A" St. John and the Lamb " was sold for 5/, 10s. ; a fine landscape, said to be by 'feniers, only fetched 21/. There was a beautiful cabinet Ludo vico Caracci disposed of for 411., th e b es t spec i men put for ward for competi tion. . The l arger p a i n ti ngs , h owever, a ppeared most to interest those present. In fact, size is wont to mislead those whose taste is unsettl e d. M ass i ve propor tion often induces a belief that the higher attributes of art have been attained, whereas, too often, ambition—misdirected ambition—only is, to the eye of judgment, lamentably conspicuous. THE CHARGE OF KILLING AT BIRMINGHAM.—Last night, at eleven o'clock, the jury who sat in the case of the girl Mart o ha Minors, at pumuishaul, retuned a verdict g(: miugmts ;pilot tfaa • MONEY and CORMEIICIAL NEWS. . CITY, QUARTER Po PUREE. The business done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was ' large. Sales 10,000 bales. The market was very firm at Friday's rates for American sorts. Other qualities have been without alteration. Shares have been very quiet. There is a continued absence of late arrivals, and of local news we have also very little. The exertions of the committee formed to devise melt. sures for relieving the sufferers by the fire at St. John's, Newfoundland, deserve a hearty response from the public at large, who by small subscrip tions can accomplish what it would be imnoesible for the merchants directly connected with Newfoundland to bring about. There are many objects to which the public are at present called upon to contribute, but the details in our advertisement columns will show none more deserving of consideration than this. The committee have themselves set the best possible example—they have subscribed them selves. The duty upon foreign wheat to-day is ss. per quarter. The market for the Public Securities has been rather firmer this morning, and there is less fluctuation, arising from the settlement of accounts. Consols have been 9534 for money and time. The premium on Exchequer-bills con tinue at :Is. to 15s. ; and on East India Bonds it is 20s. to 275. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 9714 3 4. There is as little as ever doing in the Foreign Investments. Spanish Three per Cents have been 36 1 4, and steady. Portu guee Four per Cents. have realised 46 to 46 1 /. Brazilian New B eels at quoted 85; Columbian Six per Cents. are 15 1 /, an:? Mexican 26 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realise 59 1 / 2 to 59 :3 4. The settlement of the Account in the Share Market, as well as in Fore Lit Bonds, together with the arrangement • of the Ctinsol diffsrences, nece sadly restrict other business. The position of the Share Market certainly appears to be improving, as far as the confidence of bona fide holders is concerned, and we have no doubt but that ,:fter the registration of the scrip in lines which have re ceived Legislative sat.ction, there will, other things remain ing as at present, be tar less difficulty in obtaining payment of the calls, thatt by some parties is anticipated. There is no danger, either of the least tampering with the currency to ease the position of individuals who have too ex tensive a stake in new railways, and who, for the benefit of all parties, are best out of the field, or at least will act wisely to restrict their liabilities in time. The judicious capitalist will quie , ly go on with a good investment, and must ultimately reap the reward of any present sacrifice either as regards time or money. Of course we speak of the really good lines, which it would be invidious inure specifi= tally to allude to here. Bitalsili FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Three per Cent.
