TITOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY, as the representative of the city of Edinburgh, is a consummation of that inte resting election which cannot create the slightest astonishment. A love for civil and religious liberty has penetrated too deeply into the popular heart to be eradicated by a sickly puff of fanaticism : the pro priety, ,not to say, the ,common justice of the endow ment which has so stirred up the bile of certain ultra religionists is too indisputable a fact to be, over whelmed by the prejudices of a feeble minority. Sir CULLING E. SMITn has discovered himself to have been the victim of an enormous delusion. lie erroneously conceived that he was unfurling a gon falon before the citizens of the Scotch capital, when the symbol of his principles of opposition was a 'thing more than the fly-leaf of a hiltpenny tract. It is hardly credible that any candidate should have been entered against Mr. MACAULAY upon a plea so sin gularly vexatious ; and the adventure partakes more of the characteristic of rashness, because of the conso ' mince which has hitherto prevailed without interrup tion between the political and religious sentiments of that constituency and the .Paymaster of her MAJESTY'S Forces. Perhaps, however, we should rather congratulate ourselves upon the circumstance of this antagonism, since through its intervention another most signal victory has been elicited in favour of liberality. Perhaps we should rejoice at the appear ance of the rejected candidate upon the hustings, be cause by that interposition his successful opponent is "set off" as by a foil. Nothing, indeed, could be more gratifying than the manner in which this pseudo-contest hasbeen brought to a conclusion. Upon the final close of the poll one thousand ~even hundred and thirty-five votes are found to have been registered for Mr. 'l'. B. MACAULAY ; eight hundred and thirty two only for Sir C. E. SMITE, confirming the elec tion of the former by a majority of nine hundred and three. More than double the number of electors were, therefore, pulled in favour of the Ministerial candidate above those who supported his antagonist. That is but natural, considering the uniform affec tion of the Edinburgh population to the most compre hensive and the most generous of political policies— it is but natural, considering the candour with which Mr. MACAULAY'S genius and his integrity are there appreciated—it is but natural, considering that a. ' career of judicious and popular legislation, and a mind gifted with the most splendid übiliies, was op posed merely upon the irritation of a single class, merely upon the warp of a single measure, merely upon the questilnable character of a single act of legislative charity ! 'We will dispassionately concede that every individual inimical to the nomination of Mr. MACAULAY was actuated s ,lely by motives the most conscientious—we will grant this much, nay we will go so far as to believe it ; nevertheless everything proves those 832 persons to have been mistaken in so thinking. The verdict of the national jury has been given against them-1,735 individuals out of their own constituency hive proclaimed their bugbears to be altogether illusory. And, as though in confirma tion of that announcement, Mr. MACAULAY, in re turning his acknowledgments and congratulations to the electors, has declared that he believes his now triumphant cause to be " the cause of true religion." lie believes it to be the cause 'of true religion ! An intellect so keen in the perception of a truth, and so analytical in the scanning of a sentence, ' would never celebrate the realisation of his Par liamentary hopes by the utterance of a para dox ! Nevertheless, Sir C. E. SMITE! and his adherents ussvrt their conviction that the policy 0 1 the new Paymaster of the Forces is not, only detri mental to the interests of the Established Church, but is subversive of all religion. These conflicting opinions have been submitted to the decision of the enfranchised citizens of Edinburgh, and by an ac cordance of more than two to one the views of Mr. MACAULAY have been sanctioned. That approval is a remarkable triumph for the world-wide doctrine of civil and religious liberty, and this not so much from the man and the principle involved in its con sideration, as from the fact of that victory having been achieved in the northern metropolis. It will be wel comed with alacrity throughout the country, and will act as a salutary lesson both in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Berwick-up-)n-Tweed. MACAULAY is worthy of Edinburgh, and E I inburgh of Macatmay. One of those horrible occurrences that shock and outrage every feeling of humanity has recently tikett place in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis, and has terminated in the death of the unfortunate victim of military severity, and of one of the remnants of a barbarous anti inhuman code. Although every exer tion appears to have been used for the purpose or keeping the revali' g transaction from the know ledge of the public, yet, owing to the promptitude of Inspector LAWRENCE, of the T division of police, and of Mr. 13aEmT, the Coroner's summoning officer for Heston, it has been made the subject of en inquiry before the Co- Toner, which, under any circumstances, must be pro ductive of much benefit; for if the circumstances con nected with the case have been unduly exlgtrerated, the feelings of horror and indignation that now affect and disturb the minds of the public will be appeased and mitigated; or, if they have been truly stated, - and the revolting and- bruta lising features should be found to exist, we doubt not that the feeling, will become universal, and that the voice of public opinion will so loudly de mand the abolition of corporeal punishment, as to cause its total and speedy abolition. It appears that a private soldier of the 7th Hus sars, named FREDERICK WHITE, has recently been flogged at Hounslow Barracks for some viola tion of military discipline; that after the in fliction he was removed to the hospital of the barracks, where he died on Saturday last. No mention, however, was made of the transaction, and he was to have been buried on Wedzwday, without any inquiry into the circumstances by which his death was occasioned. Owing to the vigilance of the persons we have already mentioned, the burial was stopped, and a jury were yesterday even ing impanelled before Mr. WAIELEY to investi gate the cause of his death. The inquest was adjourned until some day in the course of the ensuing week, in order to afford an opportunity to the friends of the unfortunate young man, to whom, it appeared, no notice whatever had been given of the inquiry, or even of his melancholy end, of being pre , sent and watching the proceedings, anti also to have the several witnesses in attendance, and to give time of a medical man, unconnected with the army, to see and examine the body—precautions, which the secresy observed and the frightful appearance of the body, rendered prudent and necessary. It is -Aid that the back, from the nape of the neck to the loins, presented a deep purple appear ance, and that a large piece of flesh, nine inches one way and eight inches another, had been cut away from the middle of the back, where the greatest inflammation had manifestly been. W e shall, for the present, refrain from any corn _ ment on the foregoing statement, as it has been made the subject of judicial inquiry, which will, doubtless, be conducted in the most stringent and efficient manner. If, however, it should appear that the death was in any manner occasioned or even hastened by the flogging, a serious responsibility will fall on those who attempted to keep the facts concealed, and to hasten th e funeral, without procuring that investigation which should ever take place w:iea a Briti,h subject has lit his life through any but natural causes. IVe have mi., been consc:76ntiOilfly opposed to the whole system of military flogging. There never can , exist the imperative acceoity whioh could tify so horrible an alternative, when tie country is at peace, and the regiment at barracks, when the ordinary and more humane remedies of increased drill, stoppage of pay, solitary cunfinement, or ether Means within the power of a commanding officer, will be found amply. ufficient to preserve the necessary discipline, and to procure the proper discharge of the regimental duties by the soldiers. In many of the regiments that are so fortunate as to he placed under the command of humane officers, the lash, with all its degrading incidents, has been practically abo lished, and yet as full and efficient a control has been kept up, and a better and happier soldiery bear testimony to the efficacy of the milder rule. The man who has once bean brought to the triangles is ever after rendered useless as a soldier; there is not a single instance of such a man afterwards redeeming his character and conducting himself well. The iron has entered into his .soul, he feels that he has been degraded beneath the rank of a man before the eyes of his comrades. No longer can he entertain the proud feeling which would in duce him to attempt the zealous discharge of his duties, and thereby to raise 'himself in the good opinion of his officers and companions, and thus to obtain the promotion which it might be rea sonable for him to hope for ; his heart has be-n . more severely tortured by the stripes than his body ; he becomes reckless, and seeks forgetfulness in the baneful vice of intoxication. A nuisance to his corps, he is at last, perhaps, driven from it in disgrace to misery and destitution. Surely, it is not in such a manner that British subjects, our fellow coun'rymen, who have taken upon themselves the most arduous duties, who have yielded up a portion of their liberdes for the pubic protection, should be treated. Much has lately been said of the necessity of im proving the barracks, and the condition and comforts of the soldier—of affording to him the blessings of education, and raising him in the social scale. The example other nations has been adduced to us, and the valuable results that have followed in every Instance where such a course was adopted have been pointed out and commented upon, and we fully and entirely agree with what has been urged, and think that it is imperatively demanded at our hands, not only by considerations of policy, but of common justice. Let, however, the first improvement be the abolition of flogging ; let not the mere whim of a heartless and cruel commander be suffered to blast every prot.pect, and to degrade the gallant soldier, perhaps for some trivial and insignificant offence, or bre.tch of regulations. - flow can you ex pect the man with any degree of education, with any moral pride, or manly feeling, to enter into the ranks where such humiliation, such degraiation is possible ? It cannot be; you'must remove the disgrace. Let it not be said that the British army is so demo ralised, so insensible to every better feeling, that they can only be governed by the intervention of the lash. %Vint ever may be the degree of blame attachable to any party in the present instance, we sincerely hope that an earnest effort will be made on behalf of our military brethren, and that such practices may to longer be sanctioned under the Briti.h flag. A letter from Rome, dated July 2d, published in the Aupbargh Gazette, states that the Pons the day before went on foot, accompanied only by a few pre lates and some Swiss soldiers, to the church of the Salesian nuns, where the festival of the Visitation was being celebrated. The inhabitants of Rome were .:. surprised to see the POPE walking through the streets, a circumstance which had not been witnessed since the days of Pope GA SGAN EL LI. his lIOLINEss on his return was received with great enthusiasm, and the acclamations of the .crout4 increased - when he condescended to receive a petition presented to him by a poor man. On the Ist of July, the six car dinals, LAMB RIACHINI, BERN ET TI, AM AT, GIZZI, MATTE!, and MAcam, met to deliberate, and the POPE submitted the following questions for examination : First—How and in what manner slKuld an amnesty be granted ? Secondly—ln what way can the public debt be paid off? Thirdly--Would it be prudent to discharge the foreign troops? Fourthly—Would it be better for the Administration to possess one or two Secretaries of State ? Deputations daily arrived f:om all parts a ith ad Tresses of congratulation to the POPE. It was stated that the scientific men of Rome would this year be permitted to be present at the Scientific Congress at Genoa, and that the Congress I would be celebrated next year at noMe ; the system of public instructixi would be modified, and the cen sorship less . severe, particularly on scientific matters. The expedition to the interior of Africa, proketed by the late Pope, is now organised. It consists of Monsignor CASOLANI, recently appointed bishop, Father RYLLO, Dr. KNOB LOC II ER, and AN G ELO VOX°. The last two were to leave Rome on the 2 1 of July, and to traverse Africa from Abyssinia to Senegambia, and from Congo to the Barbary States. CASOLANI and RYLLO are to leave Rome in No vemb,r, to proceed to Egypt, and from thence en deavour to penetrate into the interior of Africa. The Go!lrrier de ilurseille publi4les a letter from Rome of the sth, stating that the POPE having re ceived hit that some young 'men from Bo logna had been ordered to return to the city, because some sonnets and satires upon the Papal Government had been found in one of their trunks, has desired that the order should be revoked, and expressed great auger at this infringement of personal liberty fur so Might a cause. The Cologne Gazette states that letters have been received from -Warsaw, which state that during his recent vlsit to that city, the Emperor NictioLas an nounced his intention of immediatorly proclaiining the abolition of slavery throughout his dominions. It appears from these letters that the EMPEROR, during his stay at Warsaw, frequently perambulated the streets, and visited the public places without guards or attendants. According to the Journal of Frankfort, there will be a meeting of provincial deputies held at Berlin early in 1847, to con,idera proposition for rwforming the present mode of taxation, and for the discussion of vari ous financial questions which will be submibted to them. Madrid papers of the 9th have arrived. The Clamor Publico states, that during his stay in Paris, the Infante Don ENRIQUB received visits at his hotel from M. -Guizor and from M. Oomois I3ARRO?. These pipers contain intelligence from Lisbon to the 3d instant. In the Diario of that day is a dispatch from the Civil Governor of Vizen, announcing the com plete restoration of tranquillity in the province of Tras-os-Montes. A Spanish transport, with 286 soldiers on board, had arrived at Lisbon on the 2d. She had left Ferrol for the West Indies, but the soldiers had mutinied, and forced the captain to convey thetri to Lisbon. iSlatuun Botsa, JULY 9.—The Thtee per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse at 33 cash ; the Five per Cents., at 20 3 / 4 ditto; the Pamivel at 6% ditto; the Shares of the Bank of San Fernando, a t 3S S ; and those of Isabel, at 200. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. Monday being the fourth anniversary of the la innted death of his Roy al Highness the Duke •D'OIZLEANS, a solemn Servicz. , was performed in the funeral chapel of Dreux, in presence of their MAJES TIES and several members of the Royal Family, who had arrived from Paris for this pious ceremony. A service was also performed in the chapel of St. Fer dinand, at Sablonville. In all the churches of the capital mass was performed for the repose of the soul of the deceased Prince, and most of the theatres were closed. According to the Courrier Francais, "a modifica tion in the Ministry is spoken of for the period at which the Chambers are to be convoked. Marshal SOULT is not the only one who retires. The retire ment of M. Matertm (du Nord) is also mentioned. He is, it is said, to cede his place to M. liunzaT ; and M. DELANoi.g, Advocate-General" of the Court of Cessation, is to replace M. llEuzier as Proeureur- General et the Cour Royale." The Opposition papers are labouring hard to create " a sensation" by the Pritchard indemnity cry, but without producing much effect. The disaster on the Northen itailroal still engro,:sess public at tention. U. FR iss A RD, the Government Inspector of Railway, h:-..sultiressecl a report on the subject to the Minister of. Public Works. The point of the running off the r a il s indicated, he Says, by a *kat rail, and the mark of a wheel for the distance of 108 metros. Having described the occurrence of the accident, M. Faissaun proceeds as follows : "Thy causes of the accident are to be sought for either in the state of the road, the traction, or in the materiel. With regard to the first point it must be observed that the acci dent took place on a straight part of the line over an em bankment of seven metres in height. When an affair of such importance is in question it becomes necessary to go into a very minute examination, and we therefore carefully examined the, level of the road both lengthwise and across it, and the result of this examination shows that the rails have undergone no alteration from their longitudinal posi tion, with the exception of a slight depression caused by the carriages running off' them. This could not be otherwise, for the embankment was completed before the winter of 1844, and was made with earth and chalk. This embankment, raised on a spot of' peaty ground, experienced. successive sinkings, which were filled up and afterwards required but little attention to keep it ie its primitive level. It therefore clearly appears to us that the execution of the line was in no way conneced with the accident of the Bth inst. Neither can any fault be found with the manner in which it has been kept up. That portion of the line having been given up to the company from the Ist of Arm!, it has since had the charge of keepin it its repair, and on this part of the line great care had bi en taken. At the spot where the acci dent occurred the rails are displaced, the chairs ar e brok en , and from the violent shocks , the sleepers placed en new ground were forced down, and thus caused the depression above alluded to. We have mentioned this depression be cause it has been stated without reflection and without exa mination that tite accident was caused by the gi v i ng way of the embankment formed on marshy ground. But even supposing this accident, which it did not, it 'could not have occasioned it, for very sensible depressions are frequently to be found at the junction of embankments with works of art, and some times the clearing btoom of a locomotive has touched in go ing over those depressions without any inconvenience being felt by the train. The condition in which the road has been kept is therefore as little to be blamed as the execution. We now come to the traction, and have to inquire whether the too great speed of the train was the cause of the accident. or a sudden check broke the connecting chain of the carriages? The time at which the train passed the different stations proves that the average rate of going was rather slow than exees -ive ; the last distance front Arras to Fampoux, which is about eight kilometres (about five miles English), was gone ever in 22 minutes, which only gives 22 kilometres per hour. But the average rate of going does not prove that the slope of Om. 004 was not gone down with great rapidity. W hat might cause it to be presumed is the disposition of the fir'group ; it indicates, in fact, that each of i ts e l ements must have been animated by a great speed to pas s b e y on d t h e ele ments which preceded it, and to get before it in place of re maining behind. The speed of the other groups was dead ened by ploughing up transversely a greater length of the embankment. It may thus be considered that if in the de cline of a slope where the rate of going is usually more rapid. a rise of a greater inclination is being surmounted, there will be a slackening of speed at the header the train, whereas the rear will continue to move with its primitive speed ; the middle of the train would then find itself compressed, anti pushed out of the way. This hypothesis, which may explain the three points where the train was broken, and the dis placement of the rail on the left pushed towards the empty space, would not accord with the movement of other groups. However, if the engineers, on perceiving a disorder in the :rain, tried to stop the machines, the effect of the compression may have added to any other cause of going off the rails. A going off the rails may be occasioned by the rupture of one or several parts of the materiel; but how, in the midst of these broken fraginetes, can effects be sepa rated front causes? • The mnte,iel has been exa mined with great care; the wheels and axletrees are in excellent condition; none Of the latter have been broken or even biassed; some wheels present slight marks of collision from striking against the rails, particularly these of the baggage waggon which was first precipitated. There have been broken only a few junction-bare and sonic uniting chains, anti the euspension-springs of the waggon just mentioned. It is impossible to say what piece was first broken, and that is perhaps the cause of the accident, for the rupture of a juction-bar produces oblique shocks, and may occasion a going off the rails. Every one has rivalled in zeal to lessen as much as possible the results of this deplorable event. The authorities did all they could to aid in saving the victims, and the last duties were rendered with all de sirable propriety." M. FRISSARD concludes with the following " sum ming up :" The catastrophe of Farnpoux cannot be attributed either to the execution or the mode of keeping 4. , f the road. The cause of it must therefore be sought for elsewhere; but how can the truth be discovered by interrogating witnesses, pre judiced and troubled or fragments flung together, in the midst of which effects are confounded with causes. If, not withstanding all our researches, it has been impossibe for us to arrive at a positive conclusion, we have been able at least .to rectify many facts that were misrepresented and exaggerated by inexact reports. The Cour Royale cf Douai having taken up the affair, an inquiry, eateren into by en lightened magistrates, will bring to light many facts and circumstances which remain mikuown to us. The courts of law will come to the aid of science by furld , biag new data to resolve a question so interesting to public sattry." The report is considered by the National and. the Courtier Francais as completely insignificant. The latter journal concludes a long article on the subject, by giving the following as the causes of these dis asters : " 1. On the parts of the line which required sleepers, on!y four were placed in lieu of five, as all tue rules of art demand d The Northern Company was informed of this necessity, but in order to comply with it, it would have been necessary to take up the rails along the whole line. 2. However the Ministry did not fear to deAgnate for the company the day of inauguration. The company. placed in the alter native of °peeing the line, cr giving reasons for refusing to do so, preferred running the chances of a disaster, which was certain since it was foreseen, to depreciating their shares, by declaring that the line delivered by the Ministry was badly made, and that it was indispensable to take it up for the fifth sleepers. 3. Once that the line was opened, the Prefect of Police imposed on the company the obligation of :deriverinttit to public circulation, or to declare the mxives for which such a course was to be suspe n ded. It was again not to depreciate their shares that; the company decided • ofi delivering to circulation a line which it knew to be &fee- live; it adopted this course notwithstanding the detestable organisation of its servic,, which alone caused the disaster of the 9th July. In all that the company kas culpdile a the Ministry : the fmner has given proofs of an inexcusabk eAgern.,s4 after gain; the second of an u! parouable indif feience for the lives of passengers." The Journal de la Somme states that in addition to the fourteen persons killed as described in the official report, three have since died of the wounds. The Aid-de-camp of General OUDINOT is rapidly recover ing. He is now considevd out of danger. It is stated by the Univers that in consequence of this accident parapets sufficiently high to prevent the waggons from falling over the banks, and strong enough to resist, a, violent shock, are to be established on the bridges and other dangerous passages along all the railroads in France. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and his squadron ar rived at La Goulette, near Tunis, on the 27th. The BET invited the Prince to Tunis, where he remained from the 28th of June to the 3d of July.

There is no doubt that it is intended to effect very mat reductions in all salaries and allowances, including those to the Queen and Royal Family, as also in the nuinher of civil employes, and to bring down the army to little more than half its present force. The Government is much embarrassed at present; the Collection of the revenue in the provinces is at a standstill, and the only resources are those derived from the Custom houses and tobacco contract. A bold measure like this, thetefore. s?oms almost inevitrVe. The bate mention of it, however, has created so much alarm among the public?, that it will, pr,tbiy, not be resorted to but in the last extremity. The July dividends on the internal debt are now in course of payment at the Board of - Public Credit. The holders of bonds of this portion of the natknal debt are safe enough; whether the fi,rei;ti bondholders are equally so, remains to be seen. limk of Lisbon notes are still at a discount of about 2i percent. The bank continues its piyments, but to a very limited extent. _ _ It is pretty certain now that the meeting of the Cortes cannot take place on the first of September, as intended, the plan which is to regulate the elections not having yet been agreed upon by the Ministers. This delv has created much discontent, and is :-:ttti',:uted by public opini,n to the oppo sition of Messrs. Mousinho and Lureiro. A Spanish transport entered this port last week, having on board between 200 and 300 soldiers, who In.d take i part in the recent. Gallician insurrection, and :kilo, a punishment for that oflence, were condemned to serve in the island of Cuba. She was on her way to that island, in company with several other transports, under convoy of the brig of war Nervion, when the soldiers, taking advantage of the disappearance of the brig of war, rose upon the crew, and obliged the m to bear up for the Tagus. The Spanish Envoy, .Nl. limbo, has demanded them, as:deserters, but the Pori ugmose Government has refuted to give them up, and they have since been landed, aid are now in safety. _ With a view to the perfect restoration of trangnillitv, decree, i.f which the following is the substance, has been issued-by the Gov,roment, viz : Article Ist. The districts' of Oporto, Broga, Viana, Villa Real, Bragarca, and Aveiro, are to rm together one ad ministrative circle; and those of Vizen, Coimbra audGuarda, another similar circle. 2d, Each of these circles is to be place 3 under the dire c tion of a central authority, with the title of Superior. Civil Chief, to whom the administrators of districts are to address all their reports, and whose orders they are to obey. The promulgation of this - decree was followed - by the appointment of Vim!aunt Beire and M. Fon , eca Mo gathaes as civil chiefs of the two circles respectively, and they both proc < ded immediately to enter upol the exercise of their turici ions a such. The measure, however. is far from being likely to produce the desired effect, t'or by the telegraphic accounts received yesterday it appears that M. Fonseca M,gathaes, on arriving at Coimbra, was received with a sort of chorieuri by the pe”ple, told all the civil gAernors who were to have been subordinate to Lim have resigned their offices.

EXPEDITIOUS JOURNEY TO NORWICH AN!) YARMOUTH. • A special train left, the Shoreditch station. s este, dad - at three minutes after five, to convey the pa,sengers; to the Norfolk steamer, which was appointed to sail for Rlterdain at a quirter liefore nine o'clock. The train propelled by engine No. 32, upon which were Mr. Borthwick, the engi neer, and Mr, Sr ott, the suiwrintendent of the Eastern Coun ties RAI way Company, consisted of f ur 6mr 7 bodied carriage , , containing about sixty pas• , engers, and a new and powerful brelk and luggage van recently introduced on this line. The train reacht:d Bishop Sr,rtford (32 1 / 2 miles) in forty-six minutes, and Cambridge (57%) in one hour and twenty seven minutes, including a delay of four minutes at Bishop Stortford for watering. Here an additional carriage was put on to accommodate twenty passengers, who bad been booked at this station, and seven minutes were allowed for the re freshment of the London passengers. Brandon, 31 milei from Gimbridge, and $B l 4 from London, was reached at eighteen minutes past seven. The Eastern Counties Railway engine was here detached and one belonging to tlu . Norfolk Railway, under the special charge of Mr. Marshall, the resi dent engineer and locomotive superintendent of that Com pany, was coupled on. From Brandon to Norwich, 38 milas, were completed in forty-seven minutes, and from Norwich to Yarmouth (20 miles) in twenty-six minutes. The total distance of the later place from - London is 146 miles, and this was accomplished in three hours and thirty.seven minutes, includiag stoppages, or without stoppa';es three hours and sixteen minute, about 48 miles an hour. It is -t, ri4ht to 'state that the passengers expressed themselves aig'ily gratified with the complete ease and comfort with which they travelled—indeed, the almost total abscwe of oscillation or jarring motion was the subject of general observat ion. Immediately upon the arrival of the train at. the atb.v. - named towns, and likewise at Dy and Tnetfoul, e,pies of t h.'morning% Sun, Times, Post, Herald, Chrowele, 11 Daily News, were di:patched by special messengers on horseback to the houses of the principal residents and the various hotels. As soon as the passengers were embarked, the Nor folk put on her steam and left Yarmouth in spitndid styli,. and the promoters of the "Pleasure Excursion to Rotterdam via Yarmouth," fully expected to deliver copies of yesterday's morning's Lotahm journals at the Hague and at Amsterdam ! at an ee.rly hour yesterday evening.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TOWER.—The improvilments and alterations in this ancient fortress at e making rapid pro gress. Last week a hanthome tier of twenty-one steps, lead- Mg from the Traito.'s-gate to the parade, en which the bar• racks are now erecting, was thrown open to the public, itt place of the steep ascent which they had formerly to climb. A great progress has been made in the erection of the new Wellington Barracks, which have now risen to nearly lot ty feet from the ground. Tice efficial residence of the ma ter furbisher in its rear, called Queen Elizabeth's Tower, f, the circumstance of her confinement there by her sister, has beri restored. Many other alterations are projected, parti cularly the enlargement and modernizing of the buildings in the neighbourhood-of the old Mint, whil!ti has long been con sidered the most unhealthy part of the fortress. THE NEWSVENDERS' DINNER.—This enured festival took place at Highbary Barn Tavern on Wedwiday, wh , ni a large number of that uieful and active class — who so effec tively carry out in their persons the utility of the press—at tended, and the consequence was a happy and joyous meet ing. The dinner was a goad and substantial one, and well sustained the credit of Mr. Milton, the proprietor of the establishteent„ as a capital purveyor of the good things of this life. Mr. VAld, of Catheline-street, Strand, presided on the occasion, and gave great satisfaction to the company by the minn , ..tr in which he exercise: the duties of his office. The cloth having been removed, the Chairman gave the usual loyal twists,. which were wit miy responded to, as was also the toast of "The Press." The chairman also compli mented Mr. Hinton for the excellence of the dinner, and that gentleman's health was drunk with enthusiasm. The health of the qewards, :Messrs. Alley, Ayres, Fielding, Spelling, and Wild, was also cordially responded to by the company, after which the wives and sweethearts" of the male portion of the company—many of whom were present at the dinner-- repaired to the ball-room, where they were quickly joined by their relations and friends, and the evening was spent in a most agreeable manner. In the early part of th e day the "boys" were treated with a dinner, and during the day they amused themselves at various games in t h e spac i ous ground: of the tavern.
