. of smaller companies, and to grant independent powers to them. In this view of t he matter, which, apart from other considerations, seriou sl y affects the practicability of that scheme, your board are mistaken in supposing that the di rec tors of this company consider . absolute amalgama tion of the two undertakings to be tne only, or even the better mode, of attaining that desirable result, viz , ces sation from costly strife and distracting disputes. On the „ pull ey, it is our deliberate opinion that it would not he deemed consistent with the policy of the present times, to commit to the hands of one large com pany such an wadivided control and power over the publics traffic of nearly one-half of England, whi growing requirements of the trade of this country ne cessitate an extension, rather than the limitation, of means of accommodation upon existing railways. Stich being the conviction of this board with respect to the views of the Legislature, involving consequently the rejection by Parliament of any Bill :or the absolute amalgamation of oar two companies, even although guarded by some general protection to the public, you will not be surprised to find that we cannot consent to imperil the applications to Parliament in another session for carrying out our existing agreements with the two Shrewsbury companies (specifically alluded to in your letter to me), for which Btils have been already passed by the House of Commons, and which were only arrested at the end of the session in the Lords, by a standing . order of that House, which has since been modified, and may at any time be suspended to meet a case of public necessity. We tare aware that your propoaition professes to deal with that question, by sugge , Oing that your comp any, a 3 well as the Great Western Campany have e ntered into agreements with the two Shre wsbury companies; that proprietors of those companies are to have the choice of either agreement, and that a Bill for each object is to proceed simultaneously with that for the general ems! gametion of our two companies. Permit me to observe, however, that the effect of the preposition, as you have made it, would simply be to enable the London and North-Western Company to convert an offer, alleged to be made by them to certain parties acting in their interests, and connected with the two Shrewsbury companies, of nominally higher terms, but wholly inconsistent with the actual agreements previously entered into by those com panies, into en implied honourable engagement, which cou!ci thereby practically have the advantage of super seding the Great Western alliance, as it were, b y consent —so that if Parliament should subsequently decline to sanction the a maleamation of our two companies upon public grounds, or if ycur shareholders should disagree to it, the proprietors of the Great Western Company would discover, when it was too late, that our agreement had been supplanted by yours, and that all the trAllo to or from places north of I ,Yolverhampton had been diverted from their railway over the London and North-Western lines, owing to our want of foresight, told having f en into the mistake of adopting a proposition, to whicn it may be found impossible to give practical E ffect, p a j n_cl, which would therefore prove suicidal to the interests our company. of this These cis idera:ion3 mies deter t h e directors company from gszeating to the general condition's pro my posed hi your letter t) me, even iftnethnehad one been sat term3 ie npon which you offer the tun,ig eman_ ac quaint you, factory, which, however , I am requested i 3 by no means the ca.:" "We think it, for obvious repecohns, superfluous t o d we ll t is merely adverted to at pseseet upon that topien t w t e „ h beard from any se ' for the purpese of geardree , , . ,p -en the vaius.,,wnien year tweeters ap posed acquit,ecence in t h e p . rop ,a o c rtions now current in tee pear to asetteee market; regartilese tie that laity eomPanY has not y,t; reeei ,, d free , their r , no , :eft .. ern lines a tingle pa t . sengsr or ton of ,s.tooe, & an , scarcely . derived any tee ',Ante tees lose, only partially advantage from own company have had fer your openc e • aithou..gh long ti „, the development and almost exclusive adven tage o ver their lines of ell the trafiie &tem the north of Eav,land and Ireland. It is to be remarked also, that year suggestion of con vening forthwith a Wheeeeliffe meeting to sanction the introdncjon of an Amalgamation fill irate, the House of Lords, is quite inconsistent, with the terms of the sand ing order itself, which requires the submission cf the Bill to the meeting, us i t may h ave b een amen d e d in the House of Commons; and this would kayo it quite open to your proprietors to refuse the neeroval of the Bill in such amended form, if from any cause they shall con sider that the main object of destroying our Shrews be ry alli ance h a d b een already attained, or that it would be otherivise prejudicial to their interests to proceed ewith the Bill, upon such submis sion of it at a Wham- V. 1113 meeting. Having thus represented to you the precise grounds why this board cannot, untier existing circumstances, adopt the scheme for an alse;slu , o mien of interests, at all events unless it be accompanied by positive security against the evil censequence3 appieheneed by us. and upon terms more equitable to the proprietors of this company, I am reqeetted to assure you that the dime tore are perfectly willieg atid ready to enter into an amicable arrangement upon some other cenditons, wnlch may be mutually and equally protective and adeauta gains to bath c pan ies. 1. We submit that this may be accomplished most se curely by undertaking that all opposition shall cease on both sides to the periormenee , of actual agreements into which either company may have entered, the bond fides of which, in case of dispute ' may be decided by as amicable snit in a Court of Equity, on condition that equal charges, within the rates prescribed by Parliament, for all traffic to or from places to which both companies shall convey passengers or goods by the two independent ' systems!, shall be agreed upon, and that no obstruction or impediment shall be given by either company to the public desirous of using the railway of the other company. 2. That, if the London and North-Western Company should desire it, some fixed appointment between the respective companies of the nett proceeds of all such trafaa after making a full and liberal allowance for the coat of matragiug and conveying it, shall be determined by an arbitration of three noblemen or gentlemen of high standing, to be previously selected. 3. That the companies in alliance either with the Landon and North-Western, or with the Great Western Company, be invited to join in the agreement for equal charges; with the proviso that if the attempt to arrange fails it shall not affect any existing agreements. 4. That a general committee, consisting of equal numbers from the London and North-Western and Great Western boards, be forthwith appointed to carry the ar ragement into effect, and to determine any matters bear ing upon the general interests or proceedings of the two bodies not specially provided for, and to refer all differ ences to similar arbitration. The effect of such arrangement, we conceive, will be to to the public two distinct li nes o f rail Way, to ar o rd ample scope to the traffic of all districts, and to allow a full development of the mineral and manufac turing resources of the country without obstruction or h hindrance.

AUGUST 13, 1852, A very marvellous calculation has been published by one of our Conservative Contemporaries. According to this truthful and sagacious authority, the contrast presented by the number of votes polled respectively rtehveeallasttearn by the supporters of the Government and the sup porters of resources or energy, of course, among of the nn Opposition oasiidtieonof extraordinary and a choly tsrrlakmcskof the Whig-Radicals. The sum total of this remarkable estimatedraniaton_2isshtorwsiaclieaB,r majority o f 4,4870ut o f 261,975 electors in f avour of the candi dates °- f A the 744 b e i ng henumber of to the Conservatives. The stateme n t i s sufficiently votes attributed to the Whig. Radica l s, and to challenge investigation. It is are a startling, because we w are that only 284 o f t h e new Members are de cided Derbyites, while the 368 i remaining out of the 6 52 constituting the entire ti. 3 32 31 startling rst• Albans being disfranchised House of Commons—L-- the constituency of as well as Sudbury, been returned as elected by Liberals, or Li beralKnaresborougb] are either the consequently, and one too many having - Conservatives. How, numbers polled can appear so diame as to the calculation of the Members returned . _ ce superficial On opposed repre sentatives, baffles, of course, at thsu t p ri e callY every reasonable conjecture. That 284 Derby ite Members should be opposed to 368 who are Liberals or Liberal-Conservatives, and yet that the anti - Ministe r i a l voters should number 128,744, whereas the Ministerial voters should number 133,231 ap- 1 pears on the face of the estimate beyond all credi bility, because really nothing less than a glaring and intolerable contradiction. A little inquiry, however, reveals clearly enough I how it is that the calculation has been thus ingeniously " cooked" by our Contemporary. A very few illus trations of his method will be enough to place the matter clearly before the judgment of the community. Take Middlesex as an example. There our Tory Coca E a has magnanimously selected—who? Why Mr. BEUNAL OSBORNE, who polled 4,390, and the Marquis of BLINDFORD, Who polled 4,258. Not a word about the 5,237 polled for Lord R ( ,BERT GROSVENOR ! But he insists, forsooth, that I i thus selecting the candidates, he is acting justly 7eo !cause he proceeds upon a similar principle in all, other instances, however much opposed to the estima .te he would like to make for the Government. Very good. Let us see how be demonstrates the reality e)f this magnanimously impartial proceeding. He sp 3cifies, in token of his fairness—the city of London. And how does he estimate the votes polled in the metro politan electi on? Wh y -6,195 are menti c ned as polled for Mr . MASTERMAN and 5,537 as pol led for Lord Jour; RUSSELL! Not a syllable afro ut the 5,270 additional polled for Sir JAMES Dux E, and the 4,748 polled for Baron LIONEL DE ROTH' i( ;HILD I Surely all this is wonderfully fair and magne Again, our Contemporary—who, we do• sbt not, could beat the calculating boy at a pinch— acknow ledges very modestly that "it may be co• zipleined that Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets, &c,, matey no place in the calculation." Truly. But the ,n he re plies by reminding us that no electors were polled in those localities for candidates on the side of t he Con servatives—adding that their omission is corn pensated by the omission of so many divisions of counties returning Ministerialist representatives. Surely, a marvelously pert rejoinder. So 'that a constituency of 4,804 electors, returni og three Conservative Members, such as Bed fordshire, must be accepted as a counterbalance to a 'vast con stituency like that of the Tower Hamlets, numbering upwards of 20,000 possessors of the franchise, end re turning two Liberal representatives. A wonderfully generous mode of cooking an estimate in favour of the wishes of the Administration. But this constitutes by no means the whole of the mystery of this astoundingly improbable calculation. There is such a country as Scotland, we believe, and there is also, we believe, such a country as Ireland. Not a single vote from either place, however, enters into the estimate of our Contemporary. :got one! And why ? Simply because the mention of those Scotch and Irish votes would have been die tressingly inconvenient. About the elections in the north, it is candidly remarked indeed that the polls in Scotland are not given, because, firstly, they were few in number ; and, secondly, because " in most co ses they were contests between Whigs and Radicals." Pre cisely. The numbers polled in Scotland were in favour of the Opposition, and, therefore, by no means a whisper about them ; for such, we repeat, on the part cf an organ of the Cabinet would have been in the highest degree inconvenient. Not a syllable about the numbers polled in favour of the Liberals ia Ayr, in Caithness, or in Edinburgh. Such would be only inconvenient. Not a word about Leith, or Paisley, or Wigton. It would merely be inconvenient. Neither is there a word, a wlaisper, or a syllable about the numbers polled in Ireland. Ex cept, indeed, a wretched little rag of an a pology like the following : " As t o th e I r i s h polls, it wou ld of course be an absurdity to i n tr o d uce them into a table intended to show the mind and choice of a people themselves and not of their drivers." Their drivers—which of them ? The Orangemen ? Alas ! can it be seriously expected that such shabby little shuf fling tricks as these can " go down" with JOHN BULL ? Estimates like the foregoing canno t possibly, we avow, be swallo w ed by any dispassiona te observer —although they are really so very nic el y " cooked." The truth is, the ultra-Conservatives —all things considered—have made a tolerably respectable ap pearance at the polling booths throughout the United Kingdom. Insomuch that the minority they are in is not so large as might have bean expected. Not satisfied with this, however, they want to prove that their minority is no mino rity at all—but a broad, u nmistakeable, and superb majority. They adduce facts and figures to prove this—and then, of course, comes the exposure. It reminds one o f th e sa ying of the Ital i a ns Ho w does run ?—." St av a bone, mai per stare megliore sto q ui 1" "I was pretty well off as matters were, hut by trying to mike things better see what a pickle I am in !" So with the C o nservatives, but especially with our Ministerialist Contemporary. It is only by reference to verified and official sta tistics that foreigners, or indeed the great majority of our own countrymen, can obtain an adequate and ac curate idea of toe vast extent of Britial commerce with foreign countries and our colonial dependencies. Free trade has greatly augmented our foreign and colonial business, and the Legislature are not likely we think, to make any retrogressive movement by which our exports could be diminished. The re venue, increasing as the tariff has been lowered, would very speedily show " a beggarly account of empty bo:tes," if our imports were lessened and our exports reduced. They depend upon each other too much to have separate interests. The Protectionists [are th: , re any of the class remaining ?] are aware of the force of this argument, and carefully shirk its dis cussion. Their sympathies are limited to the rent- receiving and rent-paying classes, and do not embrace the interests of the commercialists and manufac turers. That the farmer should no longer get an artificial war price for his corn grieves them ex ceE dingly—but that the whole population of the United Kingdom should have two quartern loaves for the price of one, with every other article of food reduced also, appears to be matter for Protectionist grief rather than rejoicing. The great aim and pur pose of the high-price advocates is to have corn at 80 shillings a quarter, or double what it should be. In truth, the Protectionists cannot get on without high :rents, or rather, will not attempt it. Whil e they keep up war-rents (fair enough when corn was 9G to 120 shillings a quarter), they will always want war-prices. They alone, of all classes, have not at tempted to adapt themselves to the changed condition of the time and the country. A large loaf is incom patible with large rents. The landocracy should, long agc, have commenced setting their house in order. When general taxes fell, and when untaxed food was admitted into the country, the owners of estates should have diminished their rents. But they are greedy, and will not do this—they grumble and get angry, and do everything but meet the case fairly and wisely. Protectionist grumbling, it is one comfort, cannot make our commerce go back. Our export trade at present amounts to more than 160,000,0001. sterling every year. It is carried on principally through six English, three Scotch, and three Irish seaports. In the order of their foreign trade they range thus : Liverpool, London, Hull, Southampton, Newcastle, and Bristol; Glasgow, Leitb, and Greenock; Cork, Belfast, and Dublin. These twelve principal sea ports also carry on a valuable and extensive coasting and internal traffic. There are other ports which, with comparatively trifling foreign commerce, have very extensive coasting and internal trade. In the year ending December 31, 1850, the ton nage which entered and cleared out from all the ports of the United Kingdom, in the foreign, colonial, and coasting trades, was 44,125,624 tons. Of this, the foreign trade employed 11,441,254 tons ; the colonial, 3,236,551 tons; the coasting or domestic trade of the United Kingdom, 29,447,819 tons, or more than double what was employed in our com merce with foreign countries and our colonies. The tonnage of all kinds employed in the outward and inward trade of our principal ports, during 1850, was thus di s t r ib u t e d : —London, 7,494,815 tons, in cluding 12,633 vesse l s emp l o yed in supplying the capital with 3,637,878 tom of coal ; Liverpool, 6,011,870 to vessels, which including any of the river and canal trade ; Sunderland, and 600,000 the port with about 1,200,000 tons of coal Newcastle on-Tyne, 3,05 ' 4 9 : 1 03 6 0 00,000 tons of salt; Hartlepool, 1,192 tons, chiefly engaged in the coal 1,174,274 Gloucester, 2,099,772)376 tons, in the same trade; c in i the coal and i tuns;topns, also in the coal trade ; ;Cardiff , louth, 720,608 tons ; 817,000 2 '0,166 tons; New- Hull, iron n trades . chiefly Bristol, 962,504 tons tradee67c6ll33 tons, p in or t t h , Glas gow, 1,241,2 34 tons; Leith, 327,993 tons; ' 1 , 293,822 tons; Belfast, 1,089,096 ton Dublin, 681,152 tons ; Waterford, 359,562 tons • Drogheda,s ; Cork, 2:36,504 tons ; Limerick, 294,240 tons; and , London- Berry, 171,26 8 tons. I Liverpool precedes all our ports in the extent and importance of its foreign and colonial trade. With London and Hull it surpasses the other nine princi pal ports, but vatlY exceeds London and Hull. In 1850, from the twelve principal ports, the value of exports to foreign countries and the colonies was as follows: Liverpool, 34,891,847/. ; London, . 13- ,0,''71 ., 14, ' . Hull, 10 , 366,610/. ; alarm, i 13,768,6461.; Southampton, 1,888,6471. ; Newcastle, 920,0681.; Leith, 365,5521.; Bristol, 362,0391.; Greenock, 355,6931.; Cork, 116,268/.; Belfast, 56 , 5061. ; Dublin, 50,354/. Sixty years ago Bristol was a formidable rival to Liverpool, which now exceeds it, in exports, in nearly the propor tion of 100 to 1. But, the people of Liverpool threw open their docks to the public at a very small rate of charge, while the citizens of Bristol heaped on heavy dock and town dues, in their greediness for gain, which drove the Colonial trade into Liverpool. This should have been a lesson to Protectionists, and it has reduced Bristol from a second class to an eighth-class port. In 1817, the estimated value of the exports of Li verpool was about 17,000,000/. In the year 1839, when the Parliamentary returns commenced, they had advanced to 25,703,847/. In 1850, as we have seen, they amounted to 34.891,8471., and will pro bably be reported for 1851, as high as 36,000,000/. In the last twelve years, by transference to other e a ig n n d Dublin of Bristol, Greenock, Cork, has fallen off ; but, during t p h on e rrtk s s im ßt e hele t f i a ni fsot e r, there has been the following increase taking place elsewhere :—Liverpool, 9,188,0001. ; London, 2,550 4901. ; Hull, 1,074 449/. ; Newcastle, 230 751/. ; Southampton, 1,734,077/. ; Glasgow, 1,918,390/. ; Leith, 138,1581. Is it probable that, iu the very face of this aug mented trade and commerce, the public—who are advantaged by its prosp.rous results—can so stultify themselves as to sanction, in any way, measures tending to change it? Can any Ministry, setting at defiance the indisputable facts which we have placed before our readers, dream of a return to Pro tection? The country will not have it; the Mi nistry dare not try ft. Come what may, Free Trade is safe. VHE LONDOIT, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST l 3l lBs' THE FRENCEI IZEPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains a report from M. Ducos, the Minister of Marine, to the PREFIDENT of the RePu s ii" , Pointing out t h e dis a dvantages attendant on carrying out t h e regulat i on w hi c h a ll ows on ly first lieutenants in the navy to hold commands at sea. A decree from th e P RESIDENT f o ll ows , au th or i s i ng second lieutenant s also to command in certain cir cumstances, after two years' active service. The Aloniteur also contains a decree deciding that the superior commission of the mutual aid societies shall provisionally fulfil the duties of commission for the calsse de retraites for the aged, as ordered by the law of June, 1850. The official organ also declares that the excursion of the PRESIDENT to Bordeaux cannot take place before September 15, and gives a contradiction to ru mours which, it says, have prevailed, that the Go vernment intend s t o ma k e f ur th er c ha nges i n t h e Mi nisterial offices. The Saint Public of Lyons corrects a statement by the Courrier de Lyon, that the PRESIDENT of the Republic would be present at the inauguration of the statue of the Eairxxox in that city on the 25th inst.

The Baroness DEDEVANT, who is more generally known by the nam e o f GE sRGE SAND, which she has assumed as an au , horess, has addressed a letter to the editor of th e Presse, i n rep ly t o one from him announcing the death of Count D'ORSAT. She says in it— " My °' ( Pair:Aimee with Count d'Orsay was of recant date. His sphere was the world, mine was retirement. It was necessary for excep'ional circumstances to occur for us to become acquainted—and they did occur. He was kind and devoted like a father, like a brother, to those who interested me deeply. Henco arose our friendship, which, having commenced late, seemed to be desirous of making up f)r lost time. I was attached to him by gratitude, which is the most serious and the sweetest of all ties. He pitied the victims of political tempests, and even on his death-bed, thought of and en deavoured to servo them. He was the friend of the un fortunate." --- ------- The - Bourse showed great firmness, and public securi ties recovered considerably from the late depression.

TURKEY. _ We have received accounts from Constantinople to the 29th ult. M. DE LAAVLETTE, the French ambassador, arrived on the morning of the 26th, on board the Charlemagne, after having touched at the Piraeus. He was received on landing by all the officers of the embassy, and a number of the French residents, who accompanied him to his resi dence at Pera. A short time after trl. DE LAVALETTE received a visit from the Introducer of Ambassadors, KIAMIL BEY, who came on the part of the Porte to congratulate him on his arrival. On the 28th M. DE LAVALETTE, accompanied by the captain of the Charlemagne and the officers of the embassy, went to pay the usual visit to the Porte, to the Mini4er of the Marine, the Grand Master of the Artillery, and the Minister of War. It is not expected that the Charlemagne will remain at Constantinople more than ten or twelve days, during which time a grand ball will be given on board her, to which the high functionaries of the Porte and the members of the corps diplomatique will be invited. M. SUBATIER, who has been appointed Consul- General at Alexan d:ia, was to leave Constantinople by the packet of the sth, to come to France previous to proceeding to his new post. In the evening of the 28th a fire broke out near the landing place of Jemach Iskelessi, be tween the two bridges, which burnt with great fury for three hours, and caused considerable damage. Five hundred men were landed from the Charle magne, who lent material assistance in extinguishing the flames. Accounts hare reached Constantinople that a great part of the ci'y of Erzeroum had been destroyed by an earthquake. THE QUEIO..N IN BELGIUM. (FROM THE COURT NEWSMAN.) ANTWERP, AUG. 11.

Shortly after the yacht anchored, his Royal High ness the Prince Albert proceeded to Waliner Castle, and visited his Grace the Duke of Wellington. This morning the royal squadron weighed anchor at six o'clock, and in spite of the boisterous wind ar rived at Antwerp at half-past six o'clock rM. Upon passing Flushing the royal standard was saluted by the cannon of the fortifications. Shortly after her Majesty's arrival at Antwerp , hs Majesty the King of the Belgians proceeded in his barge on board the Victoria and Albert. His Ma jesty was attended by— M.

It has been blowing a heavy gale during the whole of yesterday and to-day, attended with torrents of rain. The yachts coming up from Plymouth and the other western ports, must have had more wind than they could well manage, and their arrival here is looked for with much anxiety. Numbers of fine trees have been blown down or much damaged, as has been the cora. VENTNOR, AUG. 12.—We have been visited by one of the most violent storms ever remembered; it has been raging for the last twenty-four hours most furiously. Houses, trees, fruits, and the crops have all suffered severely. None of the steamers betwe en Ryde and Portsmouth attempted to make the passage yesterday after 11 AM. The Cowes steamers con tinued plyin g , but the London mail did not reach Ventnor till late in the day. S OUTHAMPTO N REGATTA, AUG. 12. -- The storm raged so violently here yesterday (Wednesday), that many of the yachts received considerabl e damage. One youeg man was drowned, and numerous boats and ves sels driven on shore or sank. The gal e was so violent this morning that it became necessary to postpone the regatta; in fact, it would have been madness to think of sailing for pl easur e in such a storm. Considerable damage has also been done on shore, trees uprooted and houses unroofed. Great anxiety was excited for the safety of the Q seen, bat providentially the storm did not reach her floating mansion. The fête for the Railway Guards, Widows, and Orphans Fund, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens on Monday next, bids fair to be the most attractive of the season. A grand vocal and instrumental concert, in which Bottessini and Miss Cicely Nott (tor this night only), Richardson, Lazarus, and a host of talent, will perform. A display of fireworks of unusual splendour by the renowned Southby ; and, to assist the endeavour, we understand that the directors of the various railways have come forward in the most praiseworthy manner.

ACCIDENT ON THE LIVERPOOL AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.—A serious disaster occurred on Wednesday night between Waterloo and Crosby. The train which ought to have quitted Southport at nine Pal, did not leave until about a quarter past, and the engineer, anxious to save time, put o n additional speed. The oscillation in consequence, was very great; and, when arrived at the locality alluded to, the engine, probably in consequence of the sinking of a portion of the rails, sprang off the line i breaking loose en tirely from the carriages , and coming n contact with an embankment of sand, was, together with the tender, turned completely over. The engine-driver and stoker are severely injured, the former, we are informed, having his ribs, and the letter both his legs, broken ; while both are badly cut about the head and face. None of the passengers, fortunately, were hurt, though much shaken by the concussion, as the leading carriage also came violently against the bank. Had the embankment been a declivity, instead of the opposite, the train would, in all probability, have been precipitated with frightful violence below, and great sacrifice of lif e caused. Another engine was procured as soon as arrange ments could be made f or the purpose, and the tr ain arrived in Liverpool about twelve o'clock. The rails were torn up at the spot where the a ccident occurred, and th e engine and tender, we understand, are a complete wreck; ERRATUM...."
