TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1846. Tie labouring classes of the metropolis ought to feel themselves under very great obligations to the Bishop of LoNnori for the zealous and persevering manner in which that Right Reverend Prelate has advocated their personal, intellectual, and moral im provement in relation to the subject of cleanliness. There is something so truly practical, we may al most call it something so truly philosophical, in the regenerative movement which has latterly been am bitioned for the industrial poor, and of which move ment the Bishop of LONDON has been the principal originator, that we regard every additional evidence of its onward march with a satisfaction of an in effable character. We have already so fully expa tiated upon the necessity of propagating a love for cleanliness among the multitude, as a preliminary step to their more spiritual culture, that any further dallying upon this question would, we are willing to believe, be considered as superfluous. We have demonstrated the absurdity of erecting museums, and constructing fountains, and endowing lectureships, and of laying out pleasure-grounds for the amusement or instruction of the population, when that population is permitted to continue so ma ssed and caked-up in the degradation of filth—filth of body, filth of apparel, and filth of dwelling-house —as to be altogether precluded from participation in such elevating studies or such humanizing enjoy ments. Let us endeavour to purge away the leaven of " the earth earthiness" before we attempt to instil "the heaven heavenliness"—knowledgel Let us col lect the diamonds of human intelligence and human capacity from their circumambient mire, let us re move from them that griming of dirt with which they are tarnished, before we venture upon the more elaborate task of carving or of polishing! Let us deprive the satirists henceforth of those scorn ful phrases which they have employed for the villi fication of the rabble—that rabble which from ages immemorial, from the antique days of JUVENAL, have been stigmatised as " swinish," and which humour ists of this generation have variously designated the "unwashed " and the " unsoaped !" Whether we regard the matter in its physiological applica tion, in its tendency to diminish the periodical mortality, in its power as an instrument of demoralisation, the cleanliness of the working classes assumes a greater importance, as a means of benefiting both themselves and the general CM - munity, than the superficial obierver would at first be inclined to imagine. The Right Reverend Prelate, whose exertions in this cause have already elicited our applause, has regarded the matter in this particular light, and filled with an inward consciousness of the immea surable benefits which must result from any sys tematic encouragement of this love for cleanliness, he has permitted no opportunity to escape wherein he might aid, however slightly, in the acquisition of such encouragement to the cause. From all these considerations the petitions just laid be fore the House of Lords by the Bishop of LONDON, calling upon the Legislature to sanction the morale of this new agitation, have to us a peculiar at traction, while the suavity of their recep tion by the Peers, and the approbatory addenda of the Marquis of NORMANDY and Lord KINNAIRD, render the presentations of those petitions satisfactory as well as attractive. What the peti tioners appear to be peculiarly desirous of obtaining from their Lordships is simply the permission, through a Bill, for parishes to borrow certain moneys on the securities of the rates for the-purpose of erecting baths and wash-houses, the dimensions of such establishments being proportionately extensive with the census of each individual parish, or with the peculiar destitution into which its inhabitants are plunged. Their Lordships have, therefore, only one circumstance to take into consideration before com plying with the prayer of these said petitioners, and that circumstance is obvious enough. Not the pre valence of filthiness among the most poorly provided, and the most prodigiously populated districts, espe cially of the metropolis and of the larger cities of the empire—for that has already been suffi ciently proved ! Not the anxiety for such convenient structures which has spread through out these districts—for experiment has eluci dated the existence s,f this anxiety ! Not these or a thousand other similar particulars, but simply whether there be any stability in this phi lanthropic speculation. That, we take it, is the only point of the policy of such an inova tion which requires the scrutiny of our legislators before they award it their definitive sanction ; and honestly we are certain that such an investigation will only tend to prove that these establishments, when once set in operation, will support themselves—they will have the perpetuation of their own vitality within them. Liverpool authen ticates this assumption, so does Glasshouse-yard ;- so, also, do the 65,000 persons who have bathed in the Serpentine alone during the past eight days. We look for the speedy introduction, and the unanimous acceptance, of a Bill for the Promotion of Cleanliness. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE last night moved an amendment to the second reading of the Irish Co ercion Bill, pursuant to the arrangement that had been made on Saturday at the meeting which took place at Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S. The same fatality which has already occurred on two several occa sions during the first reading of the Bill, viz., the counting out of the House for want of the attendance of forty Members, was barely avoided by the hurrying in of several Members from the library, refreshment-rooms, and other ad joining apartments, while the galleries were clearing for the purpose of counting the Members present— the same catastrophe had a second time nearly taken place on a similar motion, which was prevented by a like rapid entrance. A stronger proof could not have been exhibited of the little interest felt by the Members of the House in the arguments on the question than the difficulty that existed of assembling and keeping together so small a number as that required to constitute a House, during the discussion of a measure involving so many serious and important considerations. In fact, the House had already been surfeited, usque ad nauseam, with the prolonged discussion which had heretofore taken place, the several parties had already fully and entirely made up their minds as to the course which they would adopt, and the division might have been taken in the first instance without any difference in the result. Lord LINCOLN made his first official speech as Secretary for Ireland in support of the Bill. His Lordship admitted the unconstitutional character of the measure, and that it could only be justified by a stern necessity, by a state of things in which life and property could not be maintained by any enact ments confined within the Constitution. This is the principle on which the argument must be based, and the onus probandi rests on the Government seeking such extraordinary powers to establish a case suffi ciently strong to warrant the House in for a time in fringing on the liberty of the subject. The Right Hon. Secretary read a variety of details, and quoted from the evidence taken under Lord DEVON'S Commission, but the great majority of the cases cited had occurred some time before, and were now decidedly too stale for the required object, and the later ones which were brought forward were happily not of so fearful a character, of so harrowing a nature, as those which had been adduced by Lord ST. GERMANS when bringing the measure forward in the Lords, or such as to require extraordinary means for their suppression. It is not as a punishment for offences that had already taken place within the disturbed districts, but as a means of prevention of future out rage, that the measure could be sanctioned.

The party with which his Lordship is identified have seldom evinced much interest for the liberties of the Irish people, and during the former debate on the subject, it will be remembered that he said, if the Government delayed the Bill, even a single day, they would be responsible for the blood of every man murdered in Ireland. The true motive by which he was influenced will now be ap parent ; he cared not how Ireland was dealt with, if the corn-laws could still be retained, nay, if a delay could be interposed before their final annihilation. And having been defeated in that object, and the fate of his darling protection virtually decided, he little regards the particular measure be fore the House, or his own recorded opinions thereon, provided he is in any manner enabled to damage that Government by whose exertions the monopolists have been so signally defeated. Such a motive will not command much respect throughout the nation, or impress the public with a favourable opinion of the Noble Lord's qualifications as a Ministerial leader, should he ever, unfortunately for the country, be placed in such a position. Intelligence has been received in Paris from Lisbon of the dissolution of the PALMELLA Cabinet. Madrid papers of the 2d have been received. The contract of the salt-springs of Spain, which is held by M. SALAMANCA, is on the point of expiring, and as the Duke of RIANZARES, the husband of Queen CHRISTINA, is interested in the contract, which is a most profitable affair, the QUEEN-MOTHER has actively interfered to procure from the Government a renewal of the contract. The measure, however, being prejudicial to the interests of the country, was firmly resisted by M. MoN and his colleagues, to the great chagrin of Queen CHRISTINA. This affair, it is said, had nearly produced another Minis terial crisis. Don ENRIQUE was at Bayonne on the 4th of June, having postponed his journey to Brussels. MADRID BoLsa, JUNE 2.—The Three per Cents. were not quoted, but sold privately at 33i for cash, and 33; for time. The shares of the Bank of San Fernando were done at 380, and those of Isabel at 196. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. They confirm the intelligence of the death of the POPE, which we announced yesterday. " Yesterday, at six o'clock," says the Journal des Debats, " M. CAUCHY, Principal Registrar of the Chamber of Peers, repaired to the prison of the Lux embourg, and read to LECOMTE his sentence of con demnation. LECOMTE listened with the most perfect tranquillity, and at the conclusion said, 'lt is very well; I ask but for one thing more—it is to see M. L'Abbe GRIVEL.' M. DUVERGIER, and M. L'Abbe GRIYEL, who for the last few days have had frequent interviews with LECOMTE, joined him immediately. When the chaplain retired, it became the duty of the officers of the prison, according to the regulations, to confine LECOMTE in a straight waist coat. He willingly submitted to the regulation. He never broke silence, except to express his desire to be revisited by the chaplain. This morning LECOMTE was again visited by M. L'Abbe CativEL and M. DUVERGIER. In the afternoon he addressed a petition to the KING for pardon, in which he expresses the greatest contrition for his crime. The number of Peers who voted was 232. It is said that 196 voted for his condemnation to the punishment of a parricide, 33 for death merely, and three for perpetual imprison ment." The Ministers were to deliberate on his case on Sunday. " The general opinion is," says the Presse, " that the punishment will be commuted to banish ment for life." Lord COWLEY, the English Ambassador, left Paris for London on Sunday. According to the Constitutionnel, 800 marines are about to be sent to Otaheite and the Marquesas to recruit the garrisons of those establishments. The regiment of artillery, several detachments of which are now in Oceania, will also furnish a new contin gent. The troops forming the garrisons of those islands have been absent three years from France. The Lord Provost of Glasgow had the honour of dining with his Majesty the KING of the FRENCH 011 Thursday at Neuilly. his Lordship personally pre sented to the KING the Address voted to his MAJESTY by the Town Council of Glasgow. _ _ The heat in Paris is intense. The thermometer on Sunday stood at 86 in the shade. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 84f. 45c.

The usual inspection of troops took place this morning, and flags were hoisted in all the public buildings. The preparations for the illuminations at the West-end are very general. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) On the opening of the Court this morning, it being the Queen's birth-day, the judges wore their scarlet robes, and the Queen's Counsel appeared in their silk robes and coifs. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF DEVON. Mr. CROW DER, Q.C., appeared in support or an application for a mandamus to compel the magistrates of the county of Devon to allow certain items in the account of the coroner of that county, which they had disallowed. in Quarter Sessions. The items had beta struck out, on the allegation that there were no reasonable grounds for holding the inquests for which the items were incurred. The Learned Gentleman contended that the coroner was justified in holding an inquest in all cases where he had any suspicion that the death was not compassed by natural means ; and that though the verdict might not bear out the suspicion, still that did not furnish any reason for disallow ing the expense. Having entered into particulars relating to the items referred to, which he contended were properly incurred, and having cited several authorities in support cf his case, he concluded by calling on the Court to grant the application. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) FARINA V. HOLMES. This was an action fur goods sold and delivered, tried be fore the Under-Sheriff of Middlesex, on Thursday last, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff for 141. ss. The plaintiff is an extensive perfumer and vendor of eau de Cologne, and the defendant a gentleman residing in Albemarle-street. The defendant, it appeared, ordered twenty-five dozen of eau de Cologne, which order was forwarded by plaintiff to Cologne, and the goods were sent shortly afterwards to de fendant's agent, and the invoice and dock warrant to de fendant himself. The Under-Sheriff, in summing up, said that the plaintiff had, by the latter act, put it in the power of the defendant to receive the goods, and his liability, therefore, was the same as if the goods bad been sent to him in the first instance. The jury consequently, with ou t a momen t' s hesi tation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. The present application was for a rule to set aside this ver dict on the ground of misdirection, and that there was r.o evidence to go to the jury. Rule granted on all the grounds.

The Grocers' Company have, welcaru, preseated the donation of ttg. to the institution, and the Drapers' Company 50 guineas, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.' CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very firmly supported. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 400 Pernambuco and Maranham, at 6%d. to 7d.; 200 Egyptian at 61sd. to 7%d. ; and 400 Surat at 3%d. ; and the rest American at 3%d. to 5%d. per lb. Shares were quiet. Very interesting news has again come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope, the latest date being April 15. Prepa rations against the Kafirs were making in all directions, and the greatest ardour continued to prevail among the inhabit ants and the troops. It was expected that hostilities would commence at Fort Beaufort. The Slambie and Congo tribes were quiet, and their chiefs were in daily communication with the English Government agents. Eno's tribe, and even some of the Gaikas, are said also to be inclined to peace, and even Sandilla was alarmed and dis posed to be conciliatory, although generally, the Kafirs were preparing for the worst ; and the Europeans living in their territory had experienced much difficulty in making their escape. Mr. Stretch, the Government agent in Kafirland, nobly continued, although alone, at his usual post, seeking by all the arts of diplomacy to bring the Kafirs to a sense of the risk they incurred by provoking our resentment, for many of the chiefs had formed but a contemptible opinion of our power and resources, having so long been permitted to plunder the far mers. Upon our conquering the refractory tribes, they are expected to be placed under British protection. The Recorder bounty emigrant ship had arrived in Table Bay, all well on board. The American advices, of which ample details are given in another column, have naturally led to a good deal of conversation here, and it is remarked that if the skirmishing system only is to be persevered in, the war with Mexico may be more protracted than was at first anticipated, especially as the Texians are accused of rendering less assistance than their interest in the cause of dispute might have justified the Americans in expecting. As regards the cotton crop of the United States, it is stated that it will be at least between 300,000 and 400,000 bales less than last. The Brazil mail, arrived at last, gives nothing important from Rio de Janiero, and nothing decisive from La Plata. The Funds have been very flat again to-day, and there is an indisposition to enter upoa fresh transactions. Consols for the Opening have dropped % to 14 per cent., as, al though sales are not pressed, few will buy in the present un certain state of the Ministry. The premium on Exchequer bills has been 16s. to 21s. Bank Stock has been firmer at 2062. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents. have been 97 to 974. There is a flat market also for the Foreign Investments. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 24 1 / s , and the Three per Cents. 37', to 36%. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs has iatimated to the South American and Mexican Association, in answer to their memorial, that the British Government has a watchful eye over the proceedings in Mexico, and that the interests of England will be duly cared for, while no exertion will be spared to bring abuut an amicable arrange ment between the belligerents. Mexican Bonds, however, owing to the news from America, have been redqced to 28% lA. Shares are dull. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

(From the Morning Post.) A telegraphic communication has just been received at the Admiralty from Gosport, announcing the arrival of the Rus sian ship of war, the Fugermannland, having on board his Imperial Highness the Archduke Constantine of Russia. At the moment the information was dispatched, the Fugermannland was beating towards, and would soon come to an anchor at Spithead. A communication to the above effect was instantly for warded to his Excellency Baron Brunnow, at the Russian Legation. His Excellency left town for 'Gosport immediately to at tend upon the Grand Duke. 'We trust that the present interesting condition of her Majesty, which may probably occasion a few days' delay in the reception of the illustrious traveller, will not have the effect of preventing his Imperial Highness from honouring the metropolis with a visit, especially at the present moment, when the Prince of Egypt is the honoured guest of the country. ARRIVAL OF IBRAHIM PACHA. Yesterday, before noon, Ibrahim Pacha, and the distin guished personages in his retinue, arrived in London from Portsmouth. The arrival of his Highness was somewhat later than was originally contemplated ; for it was settled on Sunday that the Pacha and suite would leave punctually at eight o'clock ; but, from unforeseen circumstances, his departure from the Gosport terminus did not take place until after nine o'clock. The railway officers at the Vauxhall terminus had every preparation made for the reception of the Pacha and suite. The platform was covered with crimson baize, and that por tion of the way kept clear from intrusion from the select assemblage of spectators who had congregated from anxiety to gain a glimpse of the Egyptian hero. The train arrived precisely at half-past eleven, having completed the distance from Gosport in two hours and ten minutes. In the same carriage with his Highness were Soliman Pacha, General Ibrahim Bey, and Captain Mus tapha Effendi, aides-de-camp to his Highness ; and Major C. Dickson. In addition to the above, Colonel Boufort, M. Cabaret Effendi, a n d M. N ou b er t, the two latter secretary and interpreter to his Highness ; Mr. E. Zohrab, the Turkish consul-general ; Mr. Briggs, kc. The Earl of Morley, deputy chairman of the company, Colonel Henderson, Mr. T owns e n d, M r. Hibb ert, and Mr. Smith, directors of the Company, were in waiting at the ter- D Pacha ek on anthdenSodleipmaarntedl in Pacha, an a' ter minus to receive his Highnes s , w h o a l most i mmed i ately he left the train entered hi s carr i age . () A la i e tiCabar carriagee t .r rc Effendi, foa and m r Thes Hotel, two other carriages conveying the remainder of his Highness's suite to their destination. In anticipation of the Pacha's early arrival. a large crowd had collected in front of Mivart's Hotel, in Lower Brook street, but from the exertions of the police - , not the least ob struction occurred. Shortly after the Pacha and attendants had arrived, they partook of a sumptuous dejeuner, after which his Highness retired to enjoy a brief repose, agreeable to the custom of his country. The Earl of Aberdeen, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, came about half-past two o'clock , and was conducted to the presen ce o f the Pacha, with • whom the Noble Earl had a lengthened interview. Colonel Campbell, formerly British Consul resident at Alexandria, was honoured with an audience. Edib Effendi, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires, was subse quently closeted with his Highness for nearly two hours. His Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from his Highness the Pacha of Tunis, and the members of his suite, were introduced to his Highness. These were the only visitors received by the Pacha yes terday, the introductions being in the state drawing-room of the hotel. Sir Robert Peel came on horseback about half• past four, to inscribe his name in the call-book kept at the hotel. The Right Hon. Baronet was recognised by the crowd of persons assembled in the street, and was warmly cheered. The Duke of 'Wellington made a hasty call at five o'clock, on his way to dine with the Elder Brethren of the Trinity Corporation. We understand that hip Highness, from the fatigues of the day, was desirous of remaining private the rest of the evening. His Highness, attended by the military officers of his re- tir.ue, was present this morning at the inspection of the Guards on parade at the llon , e-Guard , , as were his Roya lnigh ness Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, Prince George of Cambridge, and the staff-officers. OPENING OF THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY TO LEWES AND CHICHESTER. Yesterday, throughout the day, from an early hour in the morning, much activity was manifested at the Brighton Terminus, in consequence of the opening to the public of the branch lines in continuation of the London and Brighton lines to Lewes and Chichester. The first train to the former town left the meti•opolis at 7 o'clock A.M., reaching Brighton at 25 minutes past 9. The passengers then changed car riages, of which a long line, nearly filled, were in waiting. Ten minutes were thus filled up, and the eight miles were travelled by 50 minutes past nine, being just a quarter of an hour from the time of starting. The beautiful viaduct over the valley north of Brighton, which crosses the London-road, was much admired. Some have thought that its proportions are of too slender a character; bit General Pasley having given in his report to the effect that the whole of the works are completed in first-rate style, and that the raised way is perfectly secure, so that the public may now entertain no fear on that head. The sta tion at Lewes is neat and convenient, and the remainder of the line is hi such a state of forwardness that before the close of the present month the whole of the railway from Brighton to Hastings will be opened to the public. The openinc , of the line to Lewes was celebrated yesterday by the usual demonstrations of rejoicing. The Chichester extension (29 miles in length) was also opened under the most favour able auspices. The whole of the line is in excellent condi tion, and there was no jumbling or oscillation felt, as is the case usually upon newly-constructed lines. The way passes along a level, touching at the Shoreham, Worthing, and Lit tlehampton (Arundel) stations, all of which are substantial erections. Throughout the ancient city of "seven churches" th . e utmost hilarity was manifested during the entire day, the event being celebrated as a general holiday. Several " monster trains" were run, and all of them were well filled. It is said that this line will be further extended (to Ports mouth) as soon as possible. WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTER- TAINMENTS. Last evening Mr. Wilson gave an entertainment, of which the first part was formed from the songs and writings of the famous Scotch poet, Allan Ramsay. There was a due ad mixture of sentiment and humour, and the melodies, which are all old, rivalled each other in beauty. We can scarcely conceive anything more exquisite than Wilson's delivery of the old air, " An thou wert mine air thing;" the melody is one of the most elegant and beautiful of all the old airs, and Wilson does it full justice. He also sang Dr. Arne's fine melody, which he composed to Ramsay's song of " The High land Lassie." It was needless to enumerate songs where all were so good, but we cannot help mentioning the marked delight which " The last time I cam ower the Muir " seemed to give. The quaint old song of " The Carle he cam ower the craft" called forth a hearty and unanimous encore. At the commencement Mr. Wilson gave a short, but interesting sketch of Allan Ramsay and his Times, and at the end of the first part he recited, with great effect, the first scene of Ramsay's famous comedy of the Gentle Shepherd. The scene consists of a conversation between the two shepherds, Patie and Roger, and is full of poetic beauty. Mr. Wilson is very effective in his readings, and on this occasion was as successful as ever he was. He has a happy knack of making an English audience compre hend the meaning of the Scotch phrases; he gave every point with effect, and made the two shepherds, the blythe some Patio and the sorrowful Roger, stand out in bold relief. This part of his performance was hailed with genuine and hearty applause. The second part of the programme was made up of old favourite songs, which Mr. Wilson has ren dered popular. He introduced, by request, thevery humorous song of " The Married Man's Lament," which brought the risible faculties of the audience into full play. It is strong proof of the power of Mr. Wilson that his entertain ments continue to be as attractive as ever they were, he still remains in statu quo. We beg to suggest that he may soon give another scene from the Gentle Shepherd—the scene that follows the one he gave, for instance, between Peggy and Jenny. His readings afford a delightful variety in his per formances. SHEFFIELD, BUXTON, LEEK, POTTERIES, AND CREWE RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir.,—Believing that you would not through the medium of your columns assail the character of individuals without allowing them the privilege of reply, and feeling that the' remarks of your correspondent in your number of the 3d instant, relative to the meeting of the above Company, im plicate each director, I beg to inclose you my name and address as a pledge of the truth of the following statement, and I request you will give the same publicity to it as to the statement of your correspondent. The first meeting of the provisional committee was held on the 18th of last September, when the committee of ma nagement was appointed. The same meeting, not the com mittee of management, passed the following resolutions:- Ist. That the provisional committee have appropriated 150 shares each, if applied for. 2d. That to the provisional directors shall not be allotted more than 250 shares, but that they shall be entitled to dis • pose of the unappropriated shares in such manner as they (the provisional directors) may think proper. You will observe these resolutions were passed by the provisional committee, not by the committee of manage ment. At a meeting of the committee of management, held 2d October last, it was resolved—" That the capital to defray the expenses of this undertaking be increased to 1,100,000/., inclusive of a branch from the main line to Congleton, deemed necessary in consequence of the formation of other companies to establish a communication between Hull and Holyhead, and that such a number of shares be allotted as shall be deemed expedient." _ _ In pursuance of the above resolution, 44,000 shares were allotted, which, multiplied by 251., the amount of each share, gives 1,100,0001., the capital required. No shares were then allotted to the committee of management, in the belief that the defaulters on so large a distribution would place a suffi cient number at their disposal. Of the 44,000 shares allotted deposit was paid on 42,835, thus leaving only 1,165 shares for landowners, the companies who sought to amalgamate with this ►ine, and the managing directors; how then could the directors appropriate to themselves 250, 150, or even 100 shares? It is a fact, proved by the advertisements at the time that negotiations were pending with the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and also other companies, and In the instance of the former the basis of the negotiation was that shares should be allotted to them. I therefore leave it to the consideration of the shareholders whether, had it been deemed advantageous to their interests to have united with other companies, the directors would have fulfilled their duty in taking to themselves all the few shares not paid on? It is true the capital of the Company has since been in creased to 1,200,0001., in consequence of a recommendation from Mr. Vignoles, the engineer. This augmentation of the capital took place on the 27th day of January last, and was merely nominal, as no issue of scrip in accordance therewith was made, or indeed could be, as the Speaker's certificate to pay the deposit to the Accountant-General had been applied for previously. The shares were allotted on the 2d October—inclosed ii a list of railway pries for Saturday, October 11, 1845, in which the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway is quoted 1%, paid 31. 10s. per share, or 2/. 2s. 6d. premiuin. I trust, sir, you will see, when I assure you the directors of this line have not sold a single share but have purchased to a considerable extent, that they were not ac tuated by selfish motives in " luxuriously occupying their seats at the board." Your correspondent has indulged his sarcastic pen in de picting the events of the meeting; I can only assure him it was evident to every unbiassed mind that the fears of the traffickers of shares, who had bought at a low price for the sake of a wind-up, that their object would not be obtained induced them to give a tone to the meeting, not in accord ance with a dispassionate consideration of such a measure. Notwithstanding the sneer of your correspondent at the " obscure town of Leek," I assure yon that not only the shareholders resident there almost to a man voted for the carrying out of the project, but daily express their regret that it is to be abandoned. I think theiropinion both as to the merits of the line and the conduct of the directors is entitled to as much respect as that of your correspondent. Whilst convinced of the general merits of the line, surely it cannot be a crime to endeavour to relieve the "obscure town of Leek," containing a population of 10,000, and ac tively engaged in manufactures which are distributed over all parts of the country, from the disadvantages it labours under, and I cannot deem this line such a " scheme of ab surdity" when I consider that by forming a junction with the North Staffordshire and the Manchester, Matlock, and Ambergate (almost the only scrip lines now at a premium) it will shorten the distance, to a very considerable extent in deed, between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and Ireland. In conclusion, as I state nothing but what are facts, I have no objection to your furnishing your correspondent with my name and address, in case he will favour me through you with his.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, Leek, June 6. A DIRECTOR. ATTEMPTED MURDER AT THAXTED.—George May Smith, the youth who on Wednesday last attempted to shoot his master, Dir. Warner, ironmonger, of Thaxted, was yes terday committed for trial at the ensuing Essex assizes. MADAME THILLON'S DEBUT AT THE HAYMARKET.— This fascinating actress and delightful cantatrice, will positively make her debut to-morrow evening at the Haymarket Theatre, in Auber's delightful opera Le Domino Noir. The libretto has been translated by Mr. Webster, and the rehearsals are completed. The orchestra has been augmented in order that full justice may be done to this one of the most delightful of the comic operas of Auber. The scenery is new, and the costumes are suberb. The Domino Noir will make as great a hit at the Haymarket as it did on its first production at the Opera Comique. CAPTURE OF A 13D-EL-KADER'S DOG.—If the French could not capture Abd-el-Kader they have at length caught his dog. The faithful animal was found tied to a stake in an Arab camp which was surprised and put to flight by the French. The Nouvellate de Marseille, which gives us the Information of the scattering of t e li l ! Arabs by the French troops, also tells us the news tha d t e Abt Kader was actually seen flying before the latter, surrounded, wile , was is true, by a few faithful mounted warriors. Thevandering Emir, entrusted with the mission of capturing wisely thought it would be inviduous to do t t h h a e t ' which none of his predecessors had done for the last fourteen years; and magnani mously sounding the halt, he took possession of his canine prize, and conducted him within the ledch line. The proverbial al lantry of the French officer comphim to present the animal to a lady, who brought , him to France ; but even a dog cannot enter the most civilised country in the world without the marks of suspicion about him l From the p a ssport of Abd-el-Kader's dog the followi ng description is extracted :--.` A beautiful greyhound, with a brilliant eye, but bearing about him something of melancholy (for the theloe left sO ft f his master) ; the rig ht ear p ierced, and the ri ght fore leg and hind leg tattooed with a reddish substance, impossible to be obliterated." If his fair jailer, should al m him to escape, this description may serve to hasten his apprehension. Mr. Lumley entertained yesterday at dinner, at his villa, at Fulham, the Duke of Leinster, the Duke of Cleveland, his Excellency the Baron de Brunnow, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Marquis of Sligo, the Earl of Westmoreland, General Sir Andrew Barnard, Dwarkanauth Tagore , 3f , Sir F .

We have just received, by Express, from Kinsale (Ire land), New York papers to the 19th—landed at that port for us by Captain Bailey, of the New York Packet Ship Yorkshire, to whom we tender our best thanks for his polite attention for this and all similar favours. This arrival furnishes news three days later than that brought by the steam ship Cambria. The Yorkshire made the passage to Kinsale in about sixteen days, notwithstand ing the light winds which are supposed to have prevailed. The nee s brought by the Yorkshire is of an important character. Hostilities between the United States and Mexican armies had continued ; and by the arrival or a ship at New Orleans on the 9th ult., intelligence was re ceived from the former up to the 29th of April, from which it appears that a portion of the American soldiers had suffered another defeat between Point Isabel and Matamoras ; and that seventy volunteers, in attempting to reach General Taylor's camp, were routed and en tirely destroyed. Preen the position of the two armies, it appears that General Taylor is entirely surrounded by the Mexicans, and his supplies cut off. It would seem that there is not any desire on the part of the citizens of Louisiana, to enrol themselves as vo lunteers in the glorious cause of the country. In fact it was necessary to have recourse to a conscription, in order to enable the executive authorities to raise the re quired number. Rumour also asserts that several who at first consented to volunteer, have deserted just at the time they should have marched for the scene of action. We give below a proclamation, signed by the Mayor of New York, calling upon the citizens within his civic jurisdiction, to respond to the requirements of the Pre sident's proclamation. We observe that a large meet ing, on the same subject, has been held in Philadelphia, at which resolutions were adopted pledging the meeting to assist the Government. A rumour prevailed at Washington on the 14th, that Mr. Pakenham had protested against the warlike opera tions of the United States against Mexico. We give it merely as a z amour. The New York Herald is the only paper which contains the rumour. We annex the following extracts from the papers which have reached our office : FURTHER LOSSES TO THE AMERICANS. (From the New York Tribune, of May 18.) We are under the painful necessity of I ecording another disastrious conflict between Point Isabel and Matamoros, in which seventy volunteers, attempting to reach General Taylor's camp from the former post, were routed and cut to pieces by an overwhelming Mexican force. The worst of it is, that our men appear to have behaved badly, which will embolden the Mexicans in future encounters. Capt. Walker himself, so far as we can gather from his accounts, did not distinguish himself otherwise than in running. wherein he approved himself a match for Stannard, or " the American Deer" himself. He came in ahead of the remnant of his flying corps, and there can be little doubt that his " time" was about the best on record. _ _ As yet we are not enabled to determine by what authority a Captain of volunteers undertook with his company to re open General Taylor's communication with San Isabel, when the veteran commander does not see fit to attempt it with 2,500 regulars. If captains of volunteers meditate proceed ing to the Rio del Norte to make war on their own hook, it will be expedient to put them in straight jackets at once, and set their men to planting potatoes at home. They can be of far more use thus employed than in undertaking to manoeu vre and fight as partisans in a country of which they know nothing and their enemies everything—they fighting with out artillery, while half the hostile force is cavalry; and the Mexicans, if indifferent soldiers, are notoriously good horsemen. The worst news we have from the South is that of the departure of the steam-boat from Galveston for Brassos St. lago with sixteen volunteers for the relief of General Taylor, and the absolute failure of Louisians to raise four regiments (two thousand five hundred men in all) for the same purpose without a resort to the conscription. This is most disgraceful to those who have so wantonly involved the nation in its present responsibilities and perils. If Texas does not rush to the rescue of General Taylor, we insist that she ought to be kicked out of the Union without ceremony. For her sake our Government has set up an unrighteous claim to the boundary of the Rio Grande ; for her sake our little army is now surrour.ded on the banks of the great Mexican river. We have to foot the bill at all events, and it bids fair to be a heavy one. If, in addition to this, we are to be subjected to conscripion, and drazged from our homes to fight for her unrighteous preten sions in that region of yellow fever, who among us will longer look with favour on a connexion from which Texas reaps all the advantage, and we nothing but perils, calamities, and crime? (From our New Orleans Correspondent.) The schooner Mary Clare arrived at New Orleans on the 9th inst., from Brazos St. lago, which place she left on the 29th. aptain Griffin and passengers report that Captain Walker and seventy rangers were nearly all killed and taken prisoners on the 28th ult. ' about twenty miles above Point Isabel, by a large force of Mexicans. Captain Walker succeeded in reaching the point at 4 r.sr. with only three men. He applied to Major Thomas for more men, and announced his determination to proceed to General Taylor's camp, or die in the attempt—his object being to communicate full particulars of the attack to the commanding officer. He started from his camp on the 28th with his whole force to reconnoitre, and, if possible, open a communication with Gen. Taylor. He had proceeded as far as about midway between Point Isabel and the Camp, when an overwhelming Mexican force approached suddenly. A portion of his troops were raw recruits; he instructed them to keep on his right, and gave orders to the whole to retire under cover of the chapparel in view; but his raw troops, panic stricken, scattered in confusion. The Mexicans advancing with overwhelming numbers, he gave orders to retire. He was followed until within a mile of Point Isabel, where he arrived with only two of his men ; six others subsequently came in. Capt.. W. estimates the num ber of Mexicans he encountered at 1,500, and he supposed that at least 30 of them fell during the 15 minutes which he en gaged them. The force is supposed to be a portion of that which had, at last accounts, crossed the Rio Grande some 20 or 25 miles above Matamoros, and which is estimated at 3,000 men. It is believed that they had taken a circuitous route on the Eastern side of General Taylor's camp. The post is very strongly defended. By the exertions of Majors Monroe and Saunders, with 500 men to defend the post, it is believed it can be made good against 3,000. There are now about 5,000 Mexicans on the American side of the Rio Grande, one half above, and one half below General Taylor's camp. The greatest apprehension is now felt for the American posi tion, is that the Mexicans may raise fortifications which com mand Brassos Satiago. The natural formation of the ground is mostly favourable for such a purpose; the men would be effectually protected from any naval force by the natural embankment, and the position could only be carried by actual storming of the works. A slip from the Tropic says that a gentleman passenger in the Ellen and Clara informs us that General Taylor, on the 29th, had only six days' provisions. The Augusta was met going out with troops. The Cage and Florida were left at Point Isabel, loaded with goods. The night previous to the Ellen and Clara leaving, an attack was expected on Point Isabel. It was expected that General Taylor would cut his way through, and come to the relief of Point Isabel. The latest advices received at Vera Cruz from Matamoros were to the 15th ult. Immediately after the arrival of Ge neral Ampudia, his notice to General Taylor to retire behind the Nueces was known, and the Vera Cruz people expected to hear of hostilities. We have heard it reported that the Bri:ish Consul saw a letter from General Taylor to General Ampudia, and that he approved of the same. FROM THE RIO GRANDE DIRECT. The report brought to this city yesterday by the schooner Empire, which left the mouth of the Rio Grande on the 28th ult. was, that a body of two or three hundred Mexi cans (two or three companies) had crossed the Rio Grande, at a short distance above the city, and after an engagement with a portion of our force, had captured 150 men: The Empire also brought a report that twenty or thirty Ran cheros had crossed the river between the American camp and Point Isabel, and captured a waggon containing stores, This is a Mexican report. There are two ferries between Point Isabel and Matamoros, one at Buchita and the other about eight miles below Mata moros. At intervals of some five miles there are places where boats might land unobserved. The captain of the Empire states that the report when he left was, that the Mexican army consisted of about 8,00 men—of which 5,000 were regulars and 3,000 Rancheros and militia. There were nothing but Rancheros below Matamoros. WAR MEETINGS. PIIILADELPIIIA.—Ons of the largest meetings ever assem bled in this city, was held on the 14th, to respond to the proclamation of the Mayor, upon the present condition of affairs here, and on the protection of the country. Mayor Swift presided, assisted by the Recorder, Presidents .f the Councils, the Mayor of the Northern Liberties, the Presidents of the Board of Commissions, and the Chief Bur gess of West Philadelphia, as Vice- President?. The spirit of the meeting may be seen by the principal re solution, which was as follows : . . "Resolved,—That while this meeting deeply regrets that negotiations of a friendly character have failed to effect a pacific settlement with our sister republic, we deem l it _a duty to make known to the nation at large, and particularly to to the Government, that our full and entire sympathies_ with r o e u q r ui c r o e u i n t, try ou ' r a s n e d rv t i cheat:: our rould fortunes, the and exigencies u r o li t y t e t s 7 ana tionrcnational domain, the security of the lives , and the honour of hereby pledged for the preservation of t h aen i d :l 3 t t e h g e ri c t o y ns o e f rs t , h a e _ conserva tion of the rights of our fellow-citizens , our beloved country."

THE MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION. Mayor's Office, New York, May 15, 1846. Whereas a preamble and resolution has this day passed both branches of the City Government, requesting the Mayor, n conformity with the views impressed in the message of his Excellency the President of the United States, in which it is stated " that a state of war exists between the Govern ment of Mexico and the United States." to issue his procla mation calling on all persons acting under the city authority, and exhorting all ether of our fellow-citizens to observe faithfully the requirements of the President's proclamation, and our fellow-citizens belonging to our military corps par ticularly, to hold themselves in readiness for any service which may legally be required of them. Now, therefore, I, Andrew H. Mickle, Mayor of the city of New York, do hereby, in pursuance of the foregoing, re commend to the inhabitsats Of this great and patriotic city, to aid in carrying out the views expressed in the message the President of the United States, as well as the unanimous expression given by the Common Council thereon. Be lieving, as I de, that in any emergency, one and all of our citizens are ever ready to respond to the legitimate calls of the Government, I therefore feel the greatest confidence that the same line of conduct will characterise our fellow citizens on this occasion as has ever heretofore been manifested. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name, and have caused the seal of the mayoralty to be hereunto affixed, this fifteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-six. ANDREW H. MICKLE, Mayor of the City of New York. The Committee of Arrangements for a meeting of citizens in the Park, with the view of expressing a public opinion on the relations of our country with Mexico, are requested to meet in the Mayor's office this evening at six o'clock. A. H. MICKLE, Mayor. We find the following in the New York Herald of the 18th:— PROTEST OF THE BRITISH MINISTER. THE PRESENT IMBECILE CABINET MUST GO OUT. PROBABLE WAR WITH ENGLAND. Di r. MAY 14, 1846.—The British Minister, inf. Pakenbam, formally protested this morning against the course adopted by this Government against Mexico. The reasons assigned are those which are usually advanced by that Power tion, upon similar occasions—that of the injury and intern:it ) to commerce which such a state of things naturally produces. The British merchants at Matanzas, you are already awa re ' have protested against the occupation of the territory OPl3°- site to that city by our troops, and the blockade of the river upon which it is situated, by our vessels; and, ante of this declaration her Majesty's Minister has solemnly entered his protest.
