Mr. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Engineer of the Great Western Railway ; Mr. Charles Alexander Saunders, Secretary of the Great Western Railway; Mr. Seymour Clark, Manager; and Mr. Daniel Gooch, Locomotive Superintendent of the Great Western Railway, in favour of the Broad Gauge and the Break of Gauge.

POINTS ESTABLISHED BY THE EVIDENCE TAKEN BE- FORE THE GAUGE COMMISSIONERS. The Broad Gauge only suitable to certain districts—this fact ad mitted by Brunel—with Broad Gauge Break of Gauge inevitable —Remedies for Break of Gauge proposed by Mr. Brunel—loose boxes—loose bodies to carriages —narrow carriages to be carried on broad trucks—Paddington lifting machine—Loose box system tried on Liverpool and Manchester Railway —at Bolton —at Erewash—at Newcastle-on-Tyne, always failed in practice—Pad • dington lifting a machine, a toy—would not answer in prac tice—a narrow carriage on broad trucks would make 200 per cent. dead weight—Evidence overwhelming in favour of Narrow Gauge and Uniformity—Obstruction, such as Break of Gauge, de feats the object of Railways and of Roads—continuous traffic. Break of Gauge prevents competition—protects great lines at public expense —obstructs tree trade at home—diversity of Gauge contrary to common sense—prejudicial to the ultimate interests of the country employing it—Broad Gauge approved by no Engineer in England or America, except its projector Mr. Brunel—Narrow Gauge supported by all practical Engineers in the world—A Gauge, eleven inches and a half narrower than the Narrow , auge, found safe, economical, and profitable, between Ghent and Antwerp—Narrow Gauge En gines have taken from Gloucester loads the Broad Gauge En gines could not move—Mr. Brunel admits sixty miles an hour at tainable with perfect safety on the Narrow Gauge—more than any Road will hear, and more than is practically accomplished on any Railway on any Gauge—Mr. Brunel has adopted Narrow Gauge on Taff Vale Railway, and on Italian Railways. Dead weight on Broad Gauge enormous—two tons of waste weight to half a ton carried by Narrow Gauge—nine passengers In a carriage with seventy-two seats—the result, high fares and change of carriages at every Junc tion. Broad Gauge big trucks—no accommodation for farmers —too wide for Mining Districts—local traffic neglected on Broad Gauge lines—bromi truck requires broader load to fill than small Stations can supply —more men to move than a small Station can afford. What should a Railway be ? powerful, punctual, economical, and swift—the Narrow Gauge can draw a thousand tons of merchandize the Narrow Gauge can run sixty miles an hour with passengers— .. the Narrow Gauge can travel through all mining districts — The Narrow Gauge can carry the largest loads carriers ever send — The Narrow Gauge goods' waggon, "seven feet wide, is wider by two feet than , the widest waggon used on common roads. The Broad Gauge costs more money to make—far more to keep in repair—carries far more unprofitable loads in passengers and in goods, and conse quently charges far more for the work done. By the Broad Gauge the West of England cut off from the rest of Eng land—its local traffic undeveloped, its hamlets, its agriculturists neglected. Broad Gauge charges exclude coal from the West—high price coal excludes steam—steam excluded excludes manufactures — Coal and manufactures the wealth of England. . The Break of Gauge weakens the national defences—punctual celerity, the soul of modern warfare—steam on land the true mode of repellinz steam on sea. A Break of Gauge in military operations equivalent to a ferry. _ . _ The Carriers—declare a Break of Gauge ruinous to their trade. Pickford's gross receipts nine hundred thousand a-year. Average detention by Break of Gauge at Gloucester, four to six hours—prefer any system to breaking bulk. Gauge and Gloucester Line. Extra carriers' establishment required by Break. With Uniformity goods would reach Bristol from Birmingham in six hours—forty-eight hours required by Break of Gauge. Bristol cannot rise as a port without Uniform Gauge—A Broad Gauge truck loaded, requires eight men to move—two men could easily move a narrow truck. Moving trucks part of a carrier's expenses. Cheese injured on Broad Gauge by excessive superincrunbent weight. Road Stations require small trucks. _ . * The National Gauge recommended by the Government Commis sion is 4 feet 8% inches—the Broad Gauge is 7 feet. There are at the present time more than 1,900 mUes of Narrow or National Gang., and less than 250 of the Broad or Exceptional Gauge.

The dOnunittee met this day at *eleven o'clOerc, the 'E ift or Lovelace in the chair. Mr. Robert Stephenson, civil engineer, was called and cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant W RANGEIAM. The witness said that upon a close calculation the line of the London and York Railway could be constructed for about eight millions. The estimate he had made as to the cost of construction, and which he had given in evidence at an earlier period of the inquiry, was made upon a rough calculation. The cost, how ever, of making the Eastern Counties line would be about one-half the amount of the London and York. The gradients on the -London and York were severe compared with the Eastern Counties scheme. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XXXII. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, Mr. J. E. Denison in the chair, to go through the clauses of the OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER— HAMPTON BILL Mr. Laing was heard for the Warwick and Worcester Canal Company ; Mr. Self, for the iron -masters ; and Mr. Talbot and Mr. Cockburn for the promoters of the railway. The Committe gave an undertaking to Mr. Hope, who ap peared for the Hampton and Ashchurch Railway, that the present Bill should not be read a third time in the House till the other could be introduced along with it, unless such delay were caused as to make it impossible for either to pass during the present cession. The clauses of the Bill were then gone into and passed. This concluded the labours of the Committee. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. A special meeting of holders of scrip or of bankers' re ceipts in the London and York Railway Company was held on Saturday, at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle street, when a copy of the Bill now pending in Parlia ment, entitled "A Bill for making a railway from London to York, with branches therefrom providing for the counties of llertford, Bedford, Huntingdon, North ampton, Rutland, and Nottingham, and the three divi sions of the county of Lincoln, a railway communica tion with London and York, and w i th the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, to be called the Great Northern Railway," was submitted to the con sideration of the meeting. The following directors were present :—W. Astell, Esq., M.P. ; E. B. Denison, Esq., M.P. ; Hon. 0. Duncombe, M.P. ; Hon. J. C. Dundas, M.P. ; F. Parker, Esq. ; R. Gill, Esq, ; R. Ellison, E.g. ; F. Pym, Esq. ; C. Chaplin, Esq. ; A. F. Paull, Esq. ; G. H. Parke, Esq. ; Mr. Alderman Meek ; Jas. Arbouin, Esq. ; S. Mills, Esq. ; H. J. Enthoven, Esq. The chair was taken at one o'clock by W. Astell, Esq., M.P. The Secretary having read the advertisement con vening the meeting, with their abstracts, The CHAIRMAN then moved the resolution in accord ance with the resolutions of the House of Lordi. Major Richardson commenced a speech of consider able warmth, when he was told by Mr. B. DENISON, the vice-chairman, that it was irregu lar of him to speak at that period, unless it was his in tention to move an amendment on the motion. Major RICHARDSON then, at considerable length, ar gued in favour of an amalgamation with the Eastern ceunties. The grounds on which he considered it ne cessary for this amalgamation were. the serious opposi tion of the Company, and that they would leave no stone unturned for the purpose of defeating the London and York. He concluded his speech by moving, as an amendment, that the meeting should be adjourned till next Monday week. W. NUGENT, Esq. seconded the resolution. J. WATSON, Esq., spoke in favour of the original re solution. He considered that they should not rashly throw themselves into the arms of the Eastern Counties, which were open to embrace them. Mr. WITHERS thought that, when they got their Bill, it would be sufficient time to talk of amalgamation. Mr. RILEY would be glad to hear any statements, which the directors would make with reference to the prosperity of the amalga ma ti on. B. DENISON, Esq., M.P., then gave a short statement of his opinions with refer ence to t h e ama lgamation with the Eastern Counties. H e state d t h at h e had not re ceived any communication whatever from Mr. Hudson on the part of the Eastern Counties, which did not either directly or indirectly involve the giving up of the Lon don and York Railway. The last offer which had been made was certainly one of the coolest, he would not say one of the most impudent, offers he could well imagine. It was, that six of the London and York Railway directors should be honoured with a seat on the Eastern Counties Board, and that twelve directors of the Eastern Counties should be joined with these six, and that thls quorum, of which one , third only were to be London and York directors, this number were to form themselves into a committee to consider what portion or portions of the London and York Railway should be abandoned. The answer of the directors had been that they would enter into no arrangement which did not include the passing of the London and York Railway in its integrity. He was happy to make this short explanation; he hoped they had been satisfactory, an d th a t the shareholders would still continue to give their support to the direc tors. He would also state before he concluded that the real business of the meeting was to decide whether or no the Bill should be proceeded with. In the course of the Hon. Member's remarks he stated that he had heard that the evidence of the engineer, who was under examination that morning, had been thrown to the wind altogether in the course of his cross-examination. This announcement was received with the most tremendous cheering. The original resolution having been put, it was car ried unanimously. The number of shares represented were 78,000. There were in the hands of the directors 63,517 shares, which had been forwarded to them, assenting to the pro secution of the measure, which was considerably more than the number required by the resolutions of the House of Lords. 16,173 shares were bought in by the public, making a total of shares present of 79,690. Another meeting was them formed, according to ad yertisements. _ _ _ The following resolutions were then put and carried authorising the prosecution of the following Bills: " A Bill for making a railway from the projected (London and York) Great Northern Railway at Hatfield to the Bo rough of Hertford. "A Bill for making a railway from the projected (London and York) Great Northern Railway, i n th e p ar i s h o f Hat field, in the county of Hertford, to the Dunstable Branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, in the parish of Houghton Regis, in the county of Bedford. " A Bill for making a railway from the Stanford Branch of the intended (London and York) Great Northern Railway in the parish of Bainton, in the county of Northampton, to unite with.: the loop line of the same railway at Crowland, in Lincolnshire. "A Bill for making a railway from the projected (London and York) Great Northern Railway, from the parish of Arksev, to form a jailed= with the Manchester and Leeds Railway, in the patish of Wakefield, and with the Leeds, Dewsbury, and Manchesier Railway in the parish of Leeds, together with certain branch railways therefrom all in the West Riding of the county of York." , A meeting was then held to take into consideration the amalgamation of the Direct Northern Railway. The CHAIRMAN then stated that an amalgamation had been entered into with the Direct Northern Railway, by which the responsibility and expense of each pro prietor would be considerably lessened, and the interests of the Company fortified. A resolution was then put and carried unanimously, authorising this amalgamation. A vote of thanks was then proposed to the Chairman and Directors, and the meeting broke up. SCULPTURE FOR THE FRONT OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—A correspondent of The Builder suggests the feasibility of still further enriching the appearance of the south façade of the Museum, by introducing a sculptured frieze, expressive of the uses and objects of the building, along the whole length of the main walls of the building, behind the colonnade, and he thinks that the area contained between the south façade of the National Museum and Great Russell-street, affords a fair opportunity for improving on what has been done in the area fronting our National Gallery ; and that there is no difficulty in fixing the sites for two-well proportioned fountains, and a statue of the monarch under whose auspices the Museum will have been completed.— The Builder.

Only assume pre- Anises enough, as folk does, and you, may_prnmAbat it is New Orleans which has just been threatenertiiilt a cannonade, instead of Matamoros, and that it is the Mis sissippi which has been formally blockaded by a stranger fleet and army instead of the Rio del Norte. But the whole world knows better than all this— knows that it is Mexico which has been robbed and imposed upon, and that our people are the robbers. She has sent no adventurers to get up a rebellion on our soil ; we have on hers. No armed force spearking her language has been seen within the recognised limits of the United States ; our army advanced into her territory ten years ago, and we have now many thousands of square miles of it in military possession. She has never manifested a wish to dismember our Union ; we have taken Texas and have since coveted and intrigued for California. We are the wolf drinking from the stream above and complaining that the lamb below is troubling the water. The wolf lies of course, but his excuse for this is his appetite for mutton. The Executive's gloss on the matter of Slidell's mission is most unwarranted. He has known all along that Mexico would not receive a full Minister from our Government under existing cir cumstances, nor mingle the question of Texas with any other. He would not send or accredit such an agent as Mexico had consented to receive ; she would not receive such a one as he sent. Of course, the mission fell through. How can Mexico be blamed for this ?—.New York Tribune. DREADFUL MURDER.—A correspondent of the Al bany Atlas writes from Cooperstown, Ostego Co., May 13, as follows :—A most daring and horrid murder was committed in the town of Milford (near Collis ville), in this county, on Saturday last, 9th inst., which filled the entire community with terror and gloom. It appears from what information I can derive, that a shingle-stocking bee was held at the premises of a Mr. Shutter, at which many neighbours were in attendance, and several of them became intoxicated. A scene of riot ensued, as the natural consequence. A man named Nathan Tiffany came to the scene, and was immediately attacked by a person named Levi Clearwater. Mr. T., seeing him intoxicated, retreated, but was followed by Clearwater, who fatally stabbed him in the bowels with a pocket-knife. Mr. Tiffany left for home (a distance of about 20 rods), holding his entrails in with his hands, which hai been exposed by the stab he had re ceived. Clearwater followed him to his house, determined to " finish him" on the spot, but was beaten from the house of Mrs. T. with the tone - s. This was between seven and eight o'clock in the evening. Clearwater im mediately fled, but was arrested the next day at Jackson borough, in the town of Maryland, taken back to Mil. ford. had his examination on Monday, and was commit ted to gaol to await his trial for murdr. Mr. Tiffany lingered till Sunday, when death came to his relief. I visii,ed the prison to-day, saw the prisoner, and con versed with him about the affair, during which tears were frequently seen trickling down his cheeks. He gave an undisguised history of the bloody deed, and said had it not been for liquor he should never have been caught in prison. He is twenty-three years of age, and has been addicted to intemperance for several years. What a warning to young men this should be, to never " taste of the poisonous cup" which has caused many a tear to flow and many a kind heart to throb with anguish. It should rest deeply on the minds of voters, who are to determine the fate of " king alcohol" next Tuesday. AN EXECUTION.-We are indebted to the Huntingdon Globe for an Extra, giving the particulars of the execu tion of James McCafferty, who was recently convicted of murder. The sad scene took place in the prison-yard, in the borough of Huntingdon, and was witnessed by hundreds from the surrounding hills and other emi nences :—" At about fifteen minutes after two o'clock, the prisoner, accompanied by several clergymen, was conducted into the prison-yard. He appeared some what pale, but firm and collected ; and ascended the scaffold with apparent indifference. After the cord had been adjusted he commenced to address the few who were admitted into the yard. He said If there are any young men among you who are in the habit of drinking and keeping bad company, take warning by my fate—drink and bad company has brought me to my present situation. At this moment the drop was let go, when, on account of the sudden fall, the rope broke, and the prisoner fell through the scaffold to the ground ! He soon, :however, reco vered again and rose to his feet, when he again spoke to the bystanders. In a very short time another rope was procured, and he again ascended the scaffold with the same firmness, when, after the rope was properly ad justed and the cap drawn, the drop was again let go, and the ill-fated victim of vice and of the stern laws of the country launched into eternity. Scarcely a struggle was perceptible. Thus, in the prime and noon-day of life, has this unfortunate man been sent to the presence of his Maker to answer for the great deeds done in the body. Through the ipious exertions of the clergy, who almost constantly attended him, he became truly peni tent, and he expressed his willingness to die, feeling con fident that he should [receive grace through the inter cession of the Saviour of Mankind. He acknowledged the justice of the punishment he was about to undergo." THE MURDER TRIAL AT BINGIIAMPTON.—Louis Bolt, daughter of James Bolt, was examined on the 11th. Her testimony went to show that the accused had uttered threats against her mother. Several other witnesses testified that they saw the accused in the neighbourhood on the day that Mrs. Bolt was carried off. The testi mony for the Government was concluded and that for the defence would next be brought forward. STRANGE DEVELOPMENT AT OWEGO.—A very sin- gular development of circumstances has been made at Owego, growing out of discoveries consequent upon the late fire in that village. From the Owego Advertiser we gather the leading facts :—William Foster, of Owego, had been convicted of setting fire to and burning lumber belonging to Nathaniel Spencer, jun. Wakely Spencer was a witness on the trial. Spencer commenced a civil suit and recovered 100 dollars, which Foster appealed against. To prevent Wakely Spencer being further a witness, Foster concocted a plan to fire the village and have it laid to him. lie procured letters to be written to prominent persons at Owego, by one Mow of Genoa, Cayuga Co., mailed at Ledyard, warning them against Wakely Spencer, and inclosing a printed bill stating that Davis, Wake, Spencer, and Conklin, of Ithaca, were the three who had endeavoured to burn the village. On the 27th, the stables of Mr. Mosher were fired, which, with the public house, two dwellings, &c., were burned. The testimony on the examination, at which these facts were developed, showed Foster to be the in cendiary. He was committed for trial. He is said to be worth 10,000 dolls., and had a mortgage of 2,000 dolls. at Mow, whom he used as an instrument in his wicked plot. Sheriff Barstow was very active in tracing out the particulars of this diabolical scheme to destroy an innocent man, from motives of avarice and revenge. —lthaca Chronicle. THE OsBORN ROBBERY.—Mr. Osborn, the person who claims to have been robbed at the cars on Sunday evening, remained in town yesterday, but nothing new has transpired in relation to the affair. He assured the Mayor that time would develop the truth of his state ment ; and that functionary, jealous of the reputation of the city, and anxious that the travelling community shall not be alarmed by false statements of crimes per petrated in our midst, has determined to investigate the affair as fully as the circumstances will admit ; and in this determination he is seconded by the police autho rities. Mr. Osborn is certainly unfortunate in not being able to make people believe his story, but his vascillating, inconsistent course is the cause of their incredulity:— Rochester Democrat. PROTECTION FOR THE VOLIINTEERS.—The Bill pro tecting the persons and property of all those now en rolling themselves for the reinforcement of General Taylor's troops on the Rio Grande, passed both Houses yesterday, and was afterwards signed by the Governor. It has therefore now become a law.—Picayune, 7th. The slave Barney, who was convicted of the murder of Philander, will have to undergo the severe sentence of the law on the 22d instant, as Judge Butler has re fused to grant his discharge on the appeal made by his counsel.—Charleston Mercury, May 8. A FIGHTING IRISHMAN.—As the assessors, in the dis charge of their duties, were yesterday afternoon visiting the inhabitants of Ward One, they called ai; th e „ ho d u a se t of a patriotic Irishman, who seemed rather alarl..e their entrance, not knowing what could be the object of their visit ; b u t hi s anx i e ty was quieted, and indeed he seemed quite delighted, when told that they were only taking the names of persons, with a view of raising taxes! Taxus?" said he, " Did you say Taxus you shall have my name, any how, for Taxus and Mexico both!" As they were leaving the house, be followed them, exclaiming—" And tell me now, how 9 many men you are going to raise for Taxu s ; and shure I'm ready to fight against them Mexican fellows at any time of the day. Ween shall we be wanted?" This mistake of the Irishmad was a natural one; and we much fear that he is not the only one in this country who will find the words Texas and Taxes to be synonymous terms. They are alike in sound and in signification.— Boston Journal. THE MURDER TRIAL AT BINGHASITON.-..-The exa mination of Amarlah Brigham, Principal of the State Lunatic Asylum, was concluded on the Bth. He testi fied that Mrs. Burdick, who was brought to the asylum by her husband in October, soon became subject to severe spasms, and fits of insanity, which continued for never e h l e , e S r a t had u r g d ae a nt y yo b nci e eu f before his he h l days, which he thought might have been produced by the terror and fright consequent upon her abduction.

'Celia B. Hammond, wife of Harvey C. Hammond and sister of Pulaski Burdick, was exa mined. They lived - on one of Johnson's farms; she desciribed the house when the discovery before made by Mrs. Burdick, respecting Johnson and her mother, Mrs. Baxter, took place, and confirmed Mrs. Burdick's account of the situation of the rooms. EXPLOIT OF A YOUNG JERSEYMAN.—A correspondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser, writes from the Army of Occupation as follows:—It gives me pleasure to re port, what I know it will give you and your readers pleasure to hear, an exploit performed by a young Newarker attached to the army—a young son of Gilbert Dudley, one of the constables of your city, now only about nineteen years of age. Returning two days ago from one of our most advanced pickets, where he had been sent to convey orders, he came unexpectedly upon two Mexican sol diers,placed who theirhad apparently muskets thoughtless h r t o l e w s s e rowed securityacro ss againstt the e river, a n and were refreshi ng th emse l ve s in a cool shade, having neighbouring tree. Gilbert was equal to the emergency; he sprang to the muskets, threw one upon the ground, and stepped upon it, whilst with the other he menaced the lives of his opponents. They cowered beneath his eagle glance, and reluctantly pursued the course which ho indicated. He carried the two muskets upon his left shoulder, drew his sword as a sort of pacificator, and thus marched them, at a respectful distance in advance, straight into camp ! From them some desirable infor mation was obtained, after which they were led blind folded out of camp, set safely in their boat and dismissed. When Gilbert was asked how he was able to make such a double prize, he gave the Paddy's reply, and said, " Faith, I surrounded 'em !" This exploit clearly, in the way of his duty, has rendered him quite famous among us, and it will gratify you to know that he is so well liked that he is not envied. GRADUAL RISE OF NEWFOUNDLAND ABOVE THE SEA.—It is a fact worthy of notice that the whole of the land in and about the neighbourhood of Conception Bay, very probably the whole island, is rising out of the ocean at a rate which promises, at no very distant day, materially to affect, if not to render useless, many of the best harbours we have now on the coast. At Port-de- Grave a series of observations have been made which undeniably prove the rapid displacement of the sea-level in the vicinity. Several large flat rocks, over which schooners might pass some thirty or forty years ago with the greatest facility, are now approaching the sur face, the water being scarcely navigable for a skiff. At a place called the Cash, at the head of Bay Roberts, up wards of a mile from the sea-shore, and at several feet above its level, covered with five or six feet of vegetable mould, there is a perfect beach, the stones being rounded, of a moderate size, and in all respects similar to those now found in the adjacent land-washes.—New foundland limes. The Newburgh Gazette proposes to the Whigs, as their next candidate for Governor, Samuel J. Wilkin, of Orange Co. DISTRESSING DEATH.—Mr. John S. Murray, of Springfield, died yesterday morning, caused by skinning a poisoned creature, about two weeks since. No symp toms of disease were visible until Wednesday night last, when his left arm, upon which the intestines of the animal were carried, commenced swelling badly, and was succeeded by mortification. Two women who assisted in the act, are also in a dangerous condition.—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. RECRUITS FOR TEXAS.—The number of volunteers already obtained in this city is probably about 1,200 — certainly not more than that number. Unless they come forward with more promptness, the Governor will be compelled to resort to a draft. Several fine companies have been formed.—New Orleans Picayune, 6th.

" LICENSE on No LlCENSE."—Fifteen hundred ladies of Buffalo have united in the following eloquent and touching entreaty to the voters of that city to cast their votes for No License' on Tuesday next. How can those who have human hearts and are themselves un poisoned by the drunkard's maddening, ruinous decoc tion, resist this appeal ?—" To the Voters of the City of Buffalo.—The time is near at hand when you must de cide whether the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be authorised by your laws. With you rests the respon sibility of voting on this occasion. With us rests the responsibility of using what influence we possess in favour of the cause of benevolence and justice. There fore, we, the undersigned, appeal to the voters of this city to oppose the granting of licenses at the coming election. We ask it in behalf of the public, which is taxed to support the pauperism and crime generated by intemperance. We ask it in behalf of the Christian and moral law, which is violated by the selling of intoxicating drinks. We ask it, most of all, in be half of the women of our city. Upon them the miseries of intemperance chiefly fall. The drunkard, in his degradation, may forget that he is degraded. It is the woman who is bound to him by near relationship that feels his fall most keenly. It is she who must bear up under want, unkindness, and the ruin of those she loves, while the drunkard lives an idle burden to society ; and he who made him such grows rich as she grows wretched. Having no ballot ourselves, we must depend upon you for her protection. We ask you to think of her rights and her wrongs, as you vote upon this ques tion. In its decision, we trust you will bear in mind the wishes of those whose interests are most at stake. We believe you can never regret depositing the vote of No License —a vote which, if it prevail, will open a new world of happiness to thousands now struggling in the narrow circle of wants, and cares, and griefs, which forms life's chief variety to a drunkard's family.—Buffalo, April 14, 1846.—Men of Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, Suf folk, Richmond, Westchester, and our whole State I do you hear ?

IVE DOLLARS FOR A WIFE.--A man named John Brandt was taken before Alderman Crowell yesterday, under the following circumstances ; A short time since he engaged the service of Philip Binder Nagle to procure him a wife, for which service he promised to pay him five dollars. Brandt said that helaad no time to court, and that he would trust to Mr. Nagle in the selection of a woman who would make a good wife. In the course of half an hour Nagle returned with a woman, and in three days she became the lawful wife of Brandt, and both lived happily together since that, t The promise, like some other " promises to pay," that we know of, was not fulfilled. A suit was instituted, and the case being made out clear, judgment was rendered in favour of the prosecutor. —Philadelphia Sun.

It had been rain, in heavy showers, tiv r - orcasional-intermistions, during the last three days. There had been no alarming rise of the waters until the evening of the ninth, when it seemed as if the flood-gates of heaven had been suddenly opened. From the slopes of the precipitous mountains embosoming the town the waters dashed down with great fury—the Seht;ylkill overflowing with the sudden flood. Three men were swept suddenly from the middle of one of the most frequented thoroughfares, and pe rished, and more deaths are reported. The water o'er topped the highest mark reached in the late extraordi nary freshet in March. Lumber, manufactured timber, canal boats. shantees and out-buildings, were swept away One of the coffer dams of the canal here has with stood the flood, but the No. Lock at Port Carbon and the lock at Mount Carbon are sadly injured. The whole work done to them since the freshet of March is destroyed. The new lock just commenced at Allen's, two miles below, and the embankment adjoining, are also seriously damaged. It is thought much destruction has visited the new work on the canal at several points lower down." Two men who were risking their lives in the perilous work of collecting some floating timber, slipped into the stream, and were swept into the broad current of the Schuylkill. They were finally rescued. No im portant detriment has been done to the Reading-road lielow the Schuylkill Valley mines. Most of the bridges L I on the Minehill railway are swept away ; six bridges also on the Mill Creek-road. The whole fixtures of Lawton's Colliery are swept away. The damage be tween Port Clinton and Pottsville, on the public works, is very extensive. The damage to the Schuylkill navi gation is very great. In the Susquehanna there had been a rise of more than 5i feet, within a few hours, at Harrisburg. Large quantities of drift lumber had passed that city. Passengers report that the aqueduct above Harrisburg was in danger. Swatard and Paxon creeks were greatly swollen. Ex-Governor Porter's anthracite furnace is said to be in great danger.—New York Daily Tribune. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, May 26.—The attention of the Govern ment has been long directed to the possibility of esta blishing between the legislation of the Dutch possession in the East Indies and, that of th e uniformity which ehOuld be is h mother country, a armony with so greats diversity of circumstances. A commission was appointed in May, 1839, to examine this important question and to prepare everything that might hasten the solution of it, it prosecuted its difficult task without relaxation, and, having completed it, was dissolved at the end of last year. A royal decree, dated May 16, 1846, after consulting the department of the colonies and of justice and the council of state, has ordered the general regulations of the legislation in the Dutch India possessions ; the judicial organization and the administration of jus tice ; the civil and commercial codes and the regula tions respecting bankruptcy. This legislation is to be promulgated before, or at the latest, on the Ist of January, 1847, and carried into effect before, or at the latest on the Ist of January, 1848. The Governor-Ge neral is authorised to put the last band to it; and, after having obtained the final application of the King. to carry into E feet at the same time regulations for the vroeeed ings in civil and criminal matters, before the high courts of justice, and other tribunals, and for the administras tion of the police, as well as for the providing in civil and criminal cases, for the natives, and persons who have a right to naturalisation. The Governor-General is also directed to have a draft of a penal code for the Indies drawn up, and to send it with as little delay as possible to the mother country, for her Majesty's examination and approbation. Mr. N. L. Wickers, whe is especially appointed; by the King to assist the Governor-General in the measures necessary for the application and carry ing into effect of the new cod e , embarked on the 20th on board the Rotterdam, and sailed on the 23d for his new destination. A decree of the Governor-General of Dutch India, dated 28th of February, 1846, ordered that the south, east, and %%est coast of the island of Borneo, where the Dutch authorities are established, shall form henceforth a distinct government, and has appointed M. A. L. Wed dik Governor of Borneo. The necessary instrncticn has been given to all persons in the service of the Nether lands in the island of Borneo to obey the new Governor, and to continue till further orders to administer to the country depending on their jurisdiction. The preamble of this decree is as follows: ‘‘ Considering that the endeavours hitherto made to raise the native population of Borneo from their low con dition have not attained the object proposed, chiefly from want of unity of section in the several subdivisions of the country—that the Commission lately sent to Borneo has more clearly shown how important it is, for the regular development of the administration and the good of manu factures and commerce, to turn to account the resources which the island possesses ; and lastly, considering that the knowledge acquired by the Commission of the geographical and pulititical situation of Borneo, has enabled the Government to decide on the division of the island of Borneo, the Governor-General, with the con currence of the Council of the Indies, has resolved to render the several parts of the island under one sole ad ministrative power." WARSAW, MALI 18.—The Emperor of Russia arrived yesterday afternoon, at the Palace Luzienski, where he was received by the Prince Governor. The Courrier d' Anvers has the following article :—" A letter from Brussels, which lies before us, says `That the Ministry hoped to lay before the Chamber, before the 10th of June, the project of law for ratifying the expected treaty, the - stipulation of which will, it is said, be more extensive than generally expected.' The same letter mentions a report that the Chambers will only discuss during the present session the Dutch and Bel ian treaty, and the laws on sugars and education unseignement moyen), which are placed on the order of the ay after the budget . ; the law on the profession of notary will be adjourned, and the session closed towards the end of June. We stated yesterday, that M. Hoffschmidt has accepted the office of director to the Louvain and Sambre Railway Com pany, in the room of Mr. Sherman. This is not correct. The office of administrator has been offered, but not is yet decided. SALZBURG, MAY 23.—Her Majesty the Empress of Russia accompanied by the Grand Duchess of Olga and the Crown Prince of Wurtemburg, arrived here yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, where a brilliant circle had been for two days expecting their arrival; this circle will break up by to morrow, and the Empress will proceed on her journey. VIENNA, MAY 18.—His Imperial Highness the Archduke Stephen will go in a few days to receive her Majesty the Empress of Russia on her arrival at Prague. BEELLN, MAY 23.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, accompanied by only one aide-de-camp, will set_out to-morrow for Prague, to meet his sister the Empress of Russia, who is expected in the capital of Bohemia on Tues day. Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands will arrive here from the Hague the day after to-morrow for the same purpose. The Universal Russian Gazette of the 21st May announces both the arrival at Berlin and the departure for Prague. GALICIA FRoNTIER, MAY s.—Accounts from Berlin say that the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs has supported the petition of Count Czartoryski for the revoking of the decree for sequestrating his property in Galicia, and that the Imperial Cabinet is not indisposed to grant the Prince's peti tion, on condition of his separating himself from the cause of the revolution, and engaging to refrain in future intrigues against the existing order of things. It is said that the con sort cf the Prince intends shortly to go to Vienna.
