" By the scheme promoted by the Direct Northern Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the n - rth of which city there is a population exceeding five millions) within the dicta ce (as mea sured by time), of four hours and a half from London ; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termite ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 21% miles, and as prtkjected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of'the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this result with local wants, 'as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle .of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral lines, than they bre by the cheat° of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford,z Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborongh, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. " With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceedei 1 in 200, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun- • nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, atm that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern It iilway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same time serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and inexp.aisive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England' aid the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. The shareholders will observe the suggestion mode by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and speed into ralway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing session. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important' bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this project. satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ; and the solicitors report their per. feet ability to fulfil ail that remains tube completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, ant with deposits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com mittee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what it only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing."

NICOLL'S PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, is patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, kc., and is generally acknowledged to excel all other great seats. The cloth is made of Llama Wool, known to be porens, yet naturally repellant of rain. In the neighbourhood of the extensive Warerooms, 114, Regent street, a few small shops are se far unprincipled as to assume•a similarity of name, intending to impose upon strangers sonic trashy substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus to caution the public, and to suggest that a copy of the Address be preserved ; and they further offer a Reward of Fifty Pounds for the detection of a Positive Infringement. Black Llama Cloth, from its soft elastic nature, is well adapted for Evening Dress Coats—to be had only of the Patentees. Each correct registered Paletot Is starved in the lining "H. J. and D.

It will be recollected that at a meeting of gentlemen con nected with the North American Colonies, held at the offices of the North American Association, on Thursday, the 15th instant, it was agreed to present an address to Lord Metcalfe upon the occasion of his Lordship's retirement from the go vernorship of Canada. The address, a copy of which ap peared in our columns on the 16th instant, having been nu merously signed, was transmitted to Lord Metcalfe on Mon day last. The following is a copy of his Lordship's acknow ledgment of the same:— " To the Subscribers to the Address of the Merchants and others connected with the British North American Pro vinces. " Sirs,—l am deeply sensible of the honour conferred on Inc by the sentiments which you entertain, and I beg you to accept my warmest thanks for the kindness which has in duced you to express them. " Had it been possible, with reference to the state of my health, to perform efficiently the duties of my late office, I would gladly have devoted the remainder of my life to the welfare of Canada, and to the furtherance of those purposes which you state to have been promoted during my adminis tration of the Government of that province. " The aggravation of the malady with which I have been long afflicted having rendered the continued discharge of my functions impracticable, T was under the necessity of solicit ing her Majesty's gracious permission to resign the trust con ferred on me; but so long as I lire I shall never cease to feel an anxious desire for the prosperity of Canada, and a grateful recollection of the loyalty and public spirit by which the measures of my administration were s u p por t e d i n t h at coun t r y. (Signed) " METCALFE. " 2, illanstield-street, Jan. 27, 1846." MORTALITY 111 THE METROPOLIS.--The number of deaths during the last week was 908, showin g a d ecrease, as compared with the previous week, of 135, and 172 below the average of five winters. We are glad to find that the mortality c aused by measles has gr ea tl y a b ated. The number of v iolent deaths was 23, of which 6 were suicides. PORPOISE HUNT IN THE THAMES.-011 Thursday afternoon considerable sport took place on the river, from Vauxhall-bridge up to Battersea, by the appearance of two large porpoises that were rolling on the surface of the water. Several gentlemen and others proceeded in boats with guns in pursuit of them, and fired a number of allots at them, but they were too active for their pursuers. and escaped. ANOTHER FIRE AT No. 91, DRURY-LANR.—Thursday night, shortly after eight o'clock, a considerable deal of alarm was created in Drury-lane, in consequence of the out break of another fire—the third within a period of three weeks—upon the premises numbered 91, in the above -named thoroughfare. The fire last n i g ht was discovered by a gentleman named Taylor; an unus ual li g h t in the carpenter's workshop, belonging to Mr. Maicey, made him aware of the alarming fact. Having raised an when instant alarm, several persons rushed into the place, they found a large quantity of shavings burning under the work-benches and amongst the timber. The intelligence was promptly furnished to the engine-stations, and short ly afterwards the parish engine was at the scene, and was followed by others. Owing, however, to the exertions of the n eighbours and police, the fire was happily extinguished without setting the engines to work. Upon instituting a search after the flames were put out, sufficient was found to satisfy t h e police that the outbreak was caused by some vile incendiary. Under the doorway they found a number of lucifers and touch-paper, some partly consumed. FIRE IN HOLBORN.—On Thursday nigh t shortly after eight o'clock, a fire broke out upon the Premi ses of h ews. Neighbour and Son, oil and Italian warehouse, 127, Holborn. Two engines from the London Fire Establishment were soon in attendance, and were speedily a ccom panied by several others. From the immense qu antity of c om b ustible mate rials about the place it was expected that great damage would be done, but, owing to the activity of the persons about the premises, the flames were p ro mptly extinguished' The origin of the re is attributed t o som e spirits of turpen tine having suddenly ignited by the gas in the shop. The Daguerrotype has been introduced into the Sand wich Islands, ~~~ Itc S BT, J AN D O ARY 31, 1846 PRICE SD. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE AGRICUL TURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY. NEWARK, THURSDAY.—Yesterday (Wednesday) a ; general meeting of the members of this Association was held at the Hotel, Newark, to receive the annual report of the committee, and to take into consideration the propriety of expunging from the 4,11 rule of the Society the following words :—" And that the Society shall on no account interfere in any election for a Member to serve in Parliament," and the further steps to be ren dered necessary thereby. The meeting was called for eleven, but did not com mence till nearly one o'clock, owing to an arrangement to receive by express from Nottingham the London papers, containing a report of Sir R: Peel's speech in the House of Commons, on Tuesday night. W. J. Pickin, Esq., having been appointed Chairman, lan adjournment took place to the Town-hall. Amongst the company, which amounted to about 150, were Sir Robert Bromley, Bart., Rev. J. Storer, W. J. Pickin, Esq., G. W. Clutton, Esq., 11. Gilbert, Esq., Rev. C. Clinton, George Storer, Esq., W. Ward, Esq., J. J. Marfleet, Esq., R. Milward, Esq., Joseph Burgess, Esq , E. Hodgkinson, Esq., J. C. Stenton, Esq„ R. Harvey, Esq., T. S. Godfrey, Esq., Rev. J. J. Myers, &c. The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings, the annual report was read and adopted. The following resolution was moved and seconded : " That the following words be expunged from the fourth rule of this Society, viz.,_` that this Society shall on no account interfere in any election for a Member to serve in Parliament.' " Sir It. BROMLEY, Bart., moved as an amendment that the words be not expunged. No one seconding the amendment, it was lost. The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted : " That the general committee of this society be in structed to appointa sub-committee to take into conside ration those measures which the . exclusion or the latter part of the rule may render necessary." " That the Duke of Newcastle be requested to pre sent the petition to the House of Lords, and that Col. Rolleston do take charge of the petition to the House of Commons, and that the Mensbers for the county be re quested to enforce the same." "That this meeting views with alarm, though not with surprise, the contemplated measures of Sir Robert Peel, leading to an immediate diminution and rapid abo lition of all protective duties on foreign corn, and consi ders that the arguments advanced by him in support of his change of opinions arc to the last degree fallacious and sophistical." " That this meeting being well assured, from practical experience, that no sufficient compensation can be given to the cultivators of the soil for the abolition of protec tive duties, pledges itself to resist any alteration in the existing c mi-laws by all constitutional means." " That while this meeting recognises the independence of Members of Parliament, and their right of voting ac cording to the dictates of their conscience on any parti cular question, it considers it a breach of public faith for them to retain their seats in order to support general measures in direct opposition to the opinions of their constituents, and to the principles they themselves pro fessed at their election." The Secretary then read the fol:owing letters:— "London, Jan. 26, 1846. " Sir,—lf I should be retnrned to Clumber, and be able to atterd, I will gladly attend your meeting at Newark on the 28th. I shall be anxious to do so, if I can, if only to assist you in the performance of your good work, and testify my hearty desire to co-operate with you in so important a cause in such a perilous emergency.—l remain, Sir, yours very truly, " NEWCASTLE. " Mr. George Gilstrap, Newark." " Whitehall-place, Jan. 23, 1846. " Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge your letter, in closing a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting of the Nottinghamshire Agricultural Protection Society, held on the 31st of December. " I can assure the members of the Association, with all sincerity, that I am not unmindful of the trust which was reposed in me at my election. I shall endeavour to execute that trust with fidelity to them and to the rest of my fellow-countrymen; but I should be faithless, and deserving of their severest censure, if I acted on any question in opposition of my own conscientious convic tions. " I do not hesitate to avow that my opinion in refe rence to protection has undergone a great change since the last general election. My constituents know how completely my interests are identified with agriculture, and however they may condemn my present views as erroneous, it is impossible that the) can impugn their sincerity. " I feel confident, however, that experience, which has brought conviction to my mind, will, before long, con vince also many of them. " Nevertheless, it is to me a matter of most painful regret that the course which I am about to adopt in Parliament is opposite to the wishes of many who have hitherto honoured me with their confidence. I must not, however, and will not, shrink from what I conceive to be my duty. "Whenever another election comes I shall be pre pared to defend, and I hope to justify, every vote that I have given, and especially the measures which are about to be introduced by the Government of which I am a Member—measures which, if an independent Member of Parliament, I would have defended at the meeting on the 31st of December, to which you invited me. " Personally, I care not how soon the day of account may come. Confident in the integrity of my own mo tives, and in the justice of the el..ctors of South Not tinghamshire, I do not doubt a reversal of the implied censure which is conveyed by the resolution you have been requested to send to me.—l am, dear Sir, yours very faithfully, " LINCOLN. " Mr. George Gilstrap, Newark." [Loud hissing, which lasted some time, succeeded the reading the Earl of Lincoln's letter.] A resolution was then adopted to the following effect: —" That this meeting, having heard from the Earl of Lincoln that he is prepared to support the measures of Sir Robert Peel, instructs the committee immediately to forward to his Lordship a copy of these resolutions, and to request him to take the only step consistent with public honour, by resigning his seat as Member for South Nottinghamshire." The motion having been carried, the meeting soon after broke up. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAFERS OF THURSDAY. TlMES.—Public opinion in the City is setting more strongly than yesterday in favour of the new Minyterial measures. Some parties, so far from thinking them im politic, have only the objection to offer that they might just as well have been brought forward two sessions ago, and that they have no necessary connexi with a re mission of the duties on corn ; but the real majority believe that they have been wisely defeled - to the pre sent time, were it only to-affoid a et-6ff to the other great national boon. It is hitl o, by the party fa vourable to the Minister's poli a r l t that the strong posi tion he has now resumed could 'Aver have been attained but by a combination of favourable circumstances, and that even the letter of Lord John Russell and his own resignation will prove ultimately to be important elements in the final success of his measure. All inci dents which tend to increase his power have peculiar value among the members of the trading and banking interests. After his avowed pacific policy, short of na tional degradation or insult, the merchants feel all the importance of strengthening his hands in the way that will be done by the success of these great measures. They feel that these circumstances will increase the cau tion of the Americans in offering any thing like provo cation, as they may be certain that it will now be in stantly repelled and resented by this country ; that the nation is all the more s ecure o f peace, by showing that it is quite prepared for immediate action. Another col lateral effect which it is hoped among the trading in terest these new measures may ha ve , espec i ally if they should be tr iumphantly carried out, is that of inducing foreign countries to follow their example, and that they will thus lead to a great extension of our commerce. They highly commend the Minister's declaration that he placed no reliance on reciprocity from foreigners in making these sweeping concessions to them, for they believe that their moral influence will be stronger, and work out better results than could ever have been produced under express stipulations, liable to be broken as soon as entered into. They are confi dent that the Minister of any foreign state, disposed before to the adopti on o f a lib era l p o li c y, w ill derive arguments as well as motives from the expose of Tuesday night. To Spain, above all, they believe that it will convey a great lesson, and afford critical support to the Government of that country at a time when all its ten dencies lean towards the removal of restrictions and pro hibitions. The City is in such a false position, and will remain so until this bugbear of the railway deposits is removed, that no estimate is yet to be formed of the financial bearings of the new measures. The Bank notice of yesterday has contracted the period of ac commodation to 14 days, and all accommodation in other places is in the most uncertain state. Even in the course of a few hours a change is experienced, as was the case this morning, when money, though com paratively easy yesterday, became suddenly tight ; and when dealers asked each other the cause, there was no explanation to be given. That money placed in deposit for railway purposes is now coming out again for in vestment, is shown by the better condition of Cie -Ex chequer-bill market ; and the uneasy feeling, therefore, perceptible in the course of this morni ng , accom p an yi ng the tightness of money, must be ascribed to doubts whe ther all the parties to whom these deposits have been in trusted are prepared to bring them forward when called for. Nothing transpired during the hours of business to bear oat this supposition. The Bank Directors, who held their weekly board to-day, parted without making any alteration in the rate of discount, which they must have done had they conceived that any causes, otherwise than of a temporary nature, were pressing on the mar ket. Their limitation of the time is well adapted to the peculiar situation of the railway deposit - question. The tightness of money observed in the course of the morn ing has no reference to the settlement of the account at the Stock-Exchange, which is regulated upon different principles from those of commercial business. HERALD.—A railway case, involving a principle of great importance, has been for some time under inves tigation by the Committee of the Stock Exchange. The facts, as stated to us, are as follow:—About the time the share market began to give way, the provisional com mittee of the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway Com pany allotted their shares, their prospectus having been previously a considerable time before the public. It appears that the Committee had considered it doubt ful if their deposits would be paid in the then state of the market, and in order to promote that very desirable object the solicitor of the company employed a respect able broker on the Stock Exchange to support them by purchasing them in, at a premium varying from 1 to i per share. When the period limited for receiving the depo:its had expired, it however turned out that the number purchased by the said broker formed the greatest proportion of the whole number pai I upon, and as the Provisional Committee would in such an event be compelled to make good the premiums to the pnr chasers, besides having all the shares thrown back upon their hands, they had recourse to the following expedient in order to get rid of the responsibility; Instead of issuing scrip when the allottees applied f©r it to deliver to the purchasers, to those who signed the deed they gave a certificate to the effect that the scrip would be forthcoming at a future time. This, however, appears only to have been a pretext to turn the edge of the ire of the disaffected allottees in the firs' instance, for when the Committee came to be pressed by their importuni ties, they answered that they had not obtained a suffi cient amount of money to enable them to go to Parlia ment ; and that it had, in consequence, become expedient to dissolve the Company, and refund the money, minus the expenses incurred. The said expenses were in the first in stance taken at 10s. per share, but afterwards the mulct was increased to 12s. per share, in order to meet the probable expense of a bill filed in Chancery by one of the allottees, who did not choose to submit to the arbitrary decision. The above is the simple history of the case as we have been informed, but the part of the case which waits the decision of the Stook Exchange Committee is, whether the broker is bound to fulfil the engagements he entered into with the parties in the house who sold him the shares. The point rests with him, upon no scrip being delivered, which it is clear is the subterfuge adopted by the provisional committee to get rid of the responsibility as above staved; and the question is, ought they to be permitted to take Advantage of their own wrong ? The broker admits that be was employed to purchase the shares by the solicitor of the company, and this admission once made, the common sense view of the case obviously points out that he should make good his engagements, and seek his remedy from the parties who employed him. The employment of brokers in a similar manner by rail way companies has, we are informed, been so common an affair in the Stock Exchange, that it may appear something like a hardship to throw the onus on the agent in this instance, who has been made the scapegoat of the real delinquents. This consideration should, however, not deter the committee of the Stock Ex change from honestly end fearlessly performing their duty. The broker should clearly be held responsible for all the purchases made in the house, at the risk of exposing himself to the usual penalty (expulsion) for refusal. After the decision of the Court of Exchequer in the case of " Young al. Smith," there is no question but the broker can recover from his employers : and, indeed, if the latter attempt to go into Court, we suspect that the refusal to issue scrip, upon which they , seem to rest their safety, will not improbably bring them bet ter acquainted with the Attorney-General, under a clause in a recent Act of Parliament specially made for the accommodation of such gentlemen. If there is no fund provided by the members of the Stock Exchange to prosecute is such cases (which we believe there is not), a subscription should be set on foot to aid the broker, if necessary ; but be that as it may, the St ock Exchange committee should unhesitatingly do the ir part of the duty. .ANA THE ACTION ON THE PAR. The account of the brilliant attack of the combined English and French squadrons on the positions of General Rosas, on the right bank of the Parana, for the purpose of opening the navigation of that river, will have been purused with pride and admiration both in France and England ; for the annals of modern warfare scarcely supply a more herioc achievement. The inso lent audacity of Roses in endeavouring to close one of the noblest rivers in the world against foreign vessels of every description, has long called for the most vigorous measures on the part of the French and English forces stationed in his neighbourhood ; and, notwithstanding their immense disparity of force, they have not been slow to obey the call. The smallness of the se les ofs em ployed on this service —n one of the shipsv thecombined fleet being larger than brigs or corvettes —offered a serious o b s t a bl e to the success of the enter prise. The allied force consisted of ten vessels, for tke most part of the smallest description, comprising less than 1,000 men. The position of Itosas was defended by four batteries at nearly equal distances from each other, mounting from 24 to 30 24-pounders. Between the second and third of these batteries, 24 small vessels were strongly moored across tke river by large iron cables, whilst immediately above this barricade, on the left bank, Rosas's brig, the Republicano, was so placed as to enfilade the opposing ships. Besides this force, four fire-ships were stationed in the neighbourhood of the bridge of boats. The position of Rosas was moreover defended by upwards of 4,000 cavalry, who were driven from their posts on the landing of the combined force like chaff before the wind by a handful of French and Eng lish seamen and marines. Not the least gratifying part of tho affair was the cordiality with which French and English fought under a common leader, and the frank and generous spirit in which they acknowledged and commended each other's gallantry in the affair. This achievement, so honourable to the arms of the two na tions, will, we trust, increase, and cement the good understanding and generous rivalry which appears to subsist at the present moment between the naval forces of the two countries. No official accounts have been received of this gallant affair, but ample details are ex pected by the Express packet-brig. The last letters from Admiral Inglefield, the Commander-in-Chief of I the station, off Monte Video, and from Capt. Hotham, up the Parana, anticipated severe measures against Roses, ho had proposed further negotiation, with the intention only of gaining time to strengthen his means 1 of defence, or to consummate some act of treachery. The official journal of Cologne publishes a proclama tion of the President of the province, announcing that from the 21st instant corn of every description will be admitted into it duty free. NEWARK ELECTION. NEWARK, THURSDAY, Two O'CLOCK, P.M.—The elec tion took place for this borough this morning, the pro ceedings commencing soon after nine &cluck, but, owing to the absence of opposition, being entirely destitute of interest. Mr. Burnaby having read the writ, Bribery Act, and administered the oath to James Snow, Esq., mayor, as the returning officer, the electors were called upon to nominate their candidates to fill the vacancy occasioned by William Ewart Gladstone, Esq., accepting office in the Cabinet. Mr. Thompson, in rising to nominate John Stewart, Esq., of Hertford-street, May-fair, London, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Newark, as sured the electors that he had great pleasure in discharg ing the duty, as he knew Mr. Stewart to be an honour able, upright, and straightforward man, who always acted conscientiously, and was a strenuous supporter of our ancient institutions, and a defender of the agricutural in terests of the country.—(Hear, hear.) An ELECTOR —Ye s, because you know the Duke of Newcastle sent him.—(Laughter.) Mr. JosaPH BRANSTON briefly seconded the nomi nation. Mr. JOHN ANDREWS, a working man, said that there had been no observation about the League, and that should anything he said, he was there to defend it. He should require a show of hands in favour of free trade before the meeting separated. The MAYOR inquired if any elector had another can didate to propose, but not rceiving any answer, he de clared John Stuart, Esq., barrister-at-law, duly elected. Mr. STUART came forward in the midst of partial cheering and shouts of disapprobation, and addressed the electors, thanking them for the great honour be stowed upon him in electing him as their representative in the House of Commons. If any man (he observed) supposed that he appeared there to insist upon the ne cessity of supporting the landed proprietors, the farmers, and the peasants, in opposition to the honest manufacturer, the honest tradesman, or any man who lives by honest industry, he was mistaken, as he (Mr. Stuart) wanted to do justice to I all, and to have fair play on both sides. He would maintain that it was wrong to place one class of the community against another, as the practice now is. He stated it as his opinion that the Anti-Corn law League was dishonest, and he thought, if the man who was on the hustings as their defend er were wise, he would abandon them.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he remarked that be thought the landed interest had been very unfairly and improperly attacke d, and in his opinion unco nstitutionally so, and he should use his utmost efforts to defend it.—(Applause.) But, though he should guard the agricultural interest, he should have great respect towards those of the commercial and manufac turing portions of the community. He thought this a very improper time to attack the landed interest, as the farmers were contented, the manufacturers and tradesmen were never more prosperous, and the revenue never had better returns.—(Cheers.) He concluded by assuring the electors he should act fairly t o a ll , an d d o h i s duty in supporting the landed interest.—(Applause.) Mr. ANDREWS called fur a show of hands in favour of free trade, when upwards of one hundred bands was held up.—(Laughter.) Mr. BRANSTON called for three cheers fur the Queen, which were heartily given. After a yote of thanks to the Mayor, moved by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Stuart, the electors sepa rated. ST. PANCRAS VESTRY MEETlNG. — Thursday a special meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras took place at the vestry-rooms, Gordon-square, for the purpose of confirming or non-confirming a resolution come to on the previous Wed -1 calling on the board of di rec t ors an d guar di ans to ze allow aged and infirm poor in the workhouse tea.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,—Observing in the 17 7 us pf Monday that he takes / credit for having been the first to COlrrea Queen's SPeech ir _ se : to Paris, I think it only just to you 1 , 0 say a newspaper, containing the Speech, wa s' received m that capital three hours before the Thnes. Some weeks since I received instructions frnril a corre spondent in Paris to send him the first paper that should appear with the Queen's Speech by express, leaving me to take what measures I might deem necessary. AccordinglYr a special steam-boat and a special engine were ordered to be in readiness, and on the 22d, knowing the just reputations The Sun has acquired for dispatch on these occasions, I went to . the- office in the Strand in excellent time, and received some of the first copies printed, with which I started from the London-bridge station exactly at 2 45. On arriving at Folkestone at 4 50, I found they were expecting the Times down immediately, and at the same time I was informed that the weather would oblige the boats to make for Calais, instead of Boulogne. Having no time to lose, I embarked forthwith and arrived inside Calais Pier by seven o'clock, having made the journey from London-bridge in four heurs and a quarter, the quickest passage, I believe, yet recorded on that line- From Calais I had to post to Boulogne, from whence a courier conveyed the dispatch to Paris, and I have the satisfaction to say it arrived there before three o'clock, giving my corre spondent time to translate the Speech from The Sun, and to expedite upwards of two hundred copies of it by the post for all parts of the continent before the Times had reached Paris. The following is the subterfuge to which I have alluded On my return to Folkestone I heard with surprise that the Times came down by the train which leaves the Bricklayers' Arms at fifteen minutes past one. As this appeared mysterious 1 made it my business to inquire into the circumstances, and discovered that it reached the Bricklayers' Arms station at about twenty-four minutes past one, and was sent by a spe cial engine to overtake the train which had left shortly befbre. The engine came up with the train at Reigate, and from thence the messenger continued his journey in it to • Folkestone. It seems that the engine which conveyed me passed him at Ashford, arriving at Folkestone about a quarter of an hour before him.
