Egyptian Traroit Company, as constituted under the directorship' of Mr. :I:hurbuln, may now be considered u brought to a close, and thOre appears no rea.,on to doubt that in a few days the new.l.Nrkish ma nagement, appointed by the Viceroy, will come kit° opera tion. The question, however , of th e deliver y over to the Viceroy of the stations in the desert is not y et settletTi, and it appears that the Bombay Steam Fund Associatioo., to whom they belong, decline ceding them to the Egyptic.• ll authorities, although they are willing to do so to the British Government, and the association has written to :his effect to ColoneLßarnett, the tlritish Consul-General, Tequoting bim _ . also. to protect their intere,,sts. . Untbrtunately, the- English Cabinet has evinced such a complete supineness in this really impoit aut matter t.;f.. the transit of English passengers .and goads through Egypt. that the Viceroy has- seen , he could have his Own. way entirely , and having been worked. upon for a considerable time past by the French representatives and emissaries in this country, really appears to have been so thoroughly frightened into the belief that the English intend to take possession of Egypt, as to determine his Highness to thwart any such vier Vo by every means in his power. But the Viceroy hes been further materially aided in hjs final decision of taking the management of the transit into his own hands, by an arrangement just agreed to between him and Sir John Pirie,,who has been sent here on behalf of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. The latter, very much to the surplise of most people, with draw all opposition to the transit service being performed under Turkish management, in consideration of the Vice roy's agreeing to puredease the hew iron steamer Delta (which has been lying idle at Alexandria for many months), for 7,0001. sterling, also all the Company's old carriages, harness, &c. ; the Company to be permitted to transport throagh Egypt all their own goods in transit, and also agreeing to keep up their present es'ablishments, like wise their two steamers ore the Nile, the Cairo, and Lotus ' to- gether with a steam-tug on the Mahmoudie Canal. The Viceroy's Turkish Company is to carry the passengers and their baggage between Alexandria and Suez, and his Highness has consented to reduce the charge for each passenger, from 15/. to 121. sterling. The present employes, many of whom are Englishmen, are to be continued under the new Turkish management. It will soon be seen bow the new system will work ; even if it should go on well at first, it is scarcely pro bable that regularity, punctuality, and civility will be main tained under Oriental inanagement. The grand object which at present engrosses the Viceroy's httention is the Rartftztrttrelifri*beltseparastionti fonxe— cuting which his Highness is pushing on with all possible activity. In short, he scarcely thinks of anything else, and to show his anxiety on the subject, he lately went down to Alexandria, taking them all by surprise, and this merely by his personal presence to force all his steamers to drag out of the harbour, in spite of wind and weather, the large pon toons destined for pile driving and other works. In effecting this, his Highness su.veeded in damaging several cf the steamers, and causing the loss of another, which was destined for the river navigation. What may be the result of this grand attempt to • dam up the stream of one of the principal rivers of the world, remains to be seen. There are many who consider it will only cause great mischief, and that the sonderful advantages predicted by its promoters will vanish before the difficulties to be contended with. If the Viceroy lives, the work will be persisted in, should it not only cost all the money now existing in the public coffers, but the re venues of several years to come, besides, it is to be feared a terrible sacrifice of human life. The stupendous fortifications which for some time past have been erecting round Alexandria, are still proceeding after the plans of a talented French officer. These fortifica tions already extend to the whole circuit of the city, in de tached forts, Paris fashion, besides heavy batteries erected seaward. No doubt the monster guns which some time Since wert? cast in England, expressly by his Highness's orders, will be mounted on these fortifications. They were cast by W a lker and Cu., and from a written memorandum it appears somS' of those guns were proved, and their capa cities tried, previa,us to their being sent out on Sandwich flats, by a part of the Roya l Artillery. One gun weighed 18 tons, - being 13 feet in length, 15 inches bore, carried a 460-pound solid shot, or a 330 hollow shot, with a charge of 42 pounds of powder. and at an elevation of 10 degrees. The solid 460-pounds shot was projected a mile and a half. Another of these guns weighed 11 tons, 12} feet in length, carried a solid shot of 130 pounds, and with a charge varying from 29 to 32 pounds of powder, at an elevation of 10 degrees, threw a shot 1# mile and 178 yards; while at 20 degrees elevation the shot was projected 2i miles and 269 yards. There are those who say that Alexandria is now nearly ready for French occupation, and many more who firmly be lieve that this will undoubtedly take place as soon as a good excuse, or the chapter of accidents, will admit. Probably this may not happen in the life time of Louis Philippe, but afterwards how soon none can tell. —Zunis. AN IMPUDENT THIEF.—On Wednesday forenoon ft man dressed in the garb of a sailor entered the shop of Mr. Clapham, residing at 72, Porter-street, and desired to be sup plied with half an ounce of tobacco. On receiving the article named, he tendered a sovereign in payment, and the requi site change was then handed to him. Whilst the fellow was disposing of his cash, Mr Clapham incautiously took from his desk a purse containing a number of sovereigns, into which lie also deposited the sum he had received of the party, and then placed the money in his desk. The man then ordered sonic vinegar, to procure which Mr. Clapham had to walk to another part of the premises, but it would seem the fellow had merely given the second order to distract the attention of the shopkeeper, for on returning with the liquid, he refused to accept it, and walked out of the shop. Mr. Clapham had not, however. his suspicions aroused until some time after, and on going to the desk before referred to, he discovered that he had been robbed of the purse and twenty sovereigns and a half sovereign.—Hull Advertiser. THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBHERIES.—A meeting of magistrates, merchants, and tradesmen of the town, friends _of Mr. I. Daniel and Mr. C. Gardner, was held at the Town hall, on Saturday last, and numerously attended. The object was to raise a subscription to alleviate their condition, consequent upon their recent heavy losses, occasioned by their premises being broken into and robbed, as stated in our last. Amongst the gentlemen present were Joseph Jones, Esq.. ex-Mayor; Thomas William Palmer, Esq. (J.P.); Thomas Wilson, Esq., Messrs. T. and B. Jacobs, Alexander, Hutchin son, Barnes, J. Robinson, solicitor ; J. Glover, Cortis, Hart. W. Field, B. Oates, W. Collinson, Taroni, Co Main, Evans, T. Abbey, Savage, T. White, &c. &c. The Mayor, Alderman. Thompson, and Charles Whitaker, Esq, each sent intima tions of their concurrence in the object of the meeting, and, the two former stated that they would each have been present if they had not been prevented by pressing engagements. The most perfect unanimity prevailed, every speaker expressing the pleasure which it gave him to aid so laudable an effort ; and it was resolved at once to commence a subscription. The meet ing resolved itself into a committee to carry out the object, with power to add to their number; and a sub-committee, consisting of the Mayor, the ex-Mayor, Messrs. B. Jacobs, Alexander, Evans, Palmer, Wilson, Cortis, W. Collinson, M. C. Peck, Field, Oates, Cowham, Abbey, and Savage, was elected, as a committee of management to receive subscrip tions, and to apply them to the purposes of the subscription, under the direction of the general committee. It was also resolved that subscription lists be placed in the banks and other public places. Mr. Cowham was elected treasurer and hon. secretary. A number of gentlemen immediately put down their names for 51. each.—Hull Advertiser. A mysterious case if extensive poisoning has taken place at Barrow, near this town. On Friday se'nnight the daughter of Mr. Lockwood, of the Lion Inn, was seized with violent sickness and other alarming symptoms, immediately after partaking of a meal of sausage rolls. The illness conti • nued till Sunday evening, when, as she got worse, Mr. Barker, the surgeon, was sent for, who found her labouring under very distressing symptoms of having taken metal. lic poison. A child of Mr. Cooper, sister-in-law of Miss Lockwood, having eaten a tart, immediately became sick, but did not suffer any ill effects. Mr and Mrs. Lockwood, their two sons, and the maid-servant, were also taken ill after partaking of the pastry. During the Monday a char woman of the name of Adkin and two men named Frost, of Barrow, and Sargeant, of Hargrave, ate some pudding and sau sage-rolls at the house, and Sargeant carried home a roll and gave it to his child, when all were taken ill, and Frost suffered very severely, and is still unable to work. Mr. Cooper and his apprentice took part of a sausage-roll and a tart, but although one was sick and the other felt ill, they did not experience an y alarming symptoms; making in all twelve persons who have suffered more or less. It appears that the flour from which the pastry was made stood he a pantry in the yard, but how the poison was introduced re mains a mystery, as Mr. Lockwood has never, to his know ledge, had any mineral poison in the house, although he had had wheat steeped in a narcotic liquid for the purpose of catching mice. Part of the vomitted matter, and also part of the pudding and sausage-rolls, were forwarded to Mr. Nunn, of Bury, for analysis.—Bury Post. VINDICATION OF THE LEAGUE.—National revolutions have generally been bought with the price 9f blood; they have too often resulted only in the substitution of one despotism for another; they have almost always been con fined in their effects to a single country. We are on the eve of a revolution precisely the reverse. It has been peaceful in its operation ; it will be world wide in its blessings. All honour be to the League that has prepared us for the change, This League was born in contempt—it rose amidst sneers and contumely into popular favour —it has flourished amidst calumny and reproach—it has triumphed amidst the acclama tions of its once most- violent opponents. We cannot agree with those who look upon the past existence of the League as an evil, only justified by a still greater one. It may be. that gentle and peaceful agitation is as necessary to thisalu brity of the politial atmosphere as to that of the material world. Nay, that its severest storms have the same utility in the economy of the one as of the other. If so, the League has proved not au evil, but a good. It is certain that it has used its vast influence for high and noble purposes. In all respects it has been an intellectual agitation. Its magnificent bazaars, rightly considered, have been expositions of the triumph of mind over matter. Its tracts and lectures have embodied the soundest doctrines of moral and political science. With the knowledge of the true principles of inter national intercourse, it has infused an intense love of inter national peace. It has awakened the most generous emo tions of the national heart. It has practicalised religious creeds, imbuing all of them with more of the true spirit of our common Christianity. It has softened the asperities of party, and created higher standards of right and duty for political leaders. If it has curbed the power of the aristo cracy, it has purified the press, and exalted the people. On every suitable occasion it has repudiated the doctrine of phy sical force. It was not the League, but a Minister of the Crown, who, while acknowledging that its agitation waa not of force but of reason," said that if reason were not yielded to, " some day force might be added." The League has never fur a moment lost sight of the efficacy of its wea pons or the justice of its cause. And when it has fulfilled its mission—when its mighty organisation shall have ceased to exist with the enormous wrong which called it into being, the names of its leaders—no less wise than powerful—Cob den and Bright, and Wilson and Villiers—will long be re membered as benefactors to their country and mankind.— Report of the Liverpool Anti-Monopoly Association for 1845, GAME-LAW MORALITY.—On the northern circuit, at the instance of Mr. Charles Waterton, the philanthropic natu ralist, some men were indicted for trespassing upon his grounds in search of game. Mr. Waterton was examined :—" Mr. Sergeant Wilkins asked the witness if a spring-gun did not go off ?__Witness Does not the law of this country forbid the use of spring-guns?—Mr. Sergeant Wilkins: That, sir, is not an answer to the question.—Witness: It the law forbids the use of spring-guns, I want to know whether a man is bound by: the law to criminate himseliF We consider this quite wort e 7 of the Jesuit's Collage, and one with which the learned ser geant very significantly expressed himself " satisfied."

COURTNEY, Esq. To Mr. THOMAS PROM, 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near A n dover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills fir the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out Of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed en with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest Inconvenience. I found lu a previous very severe attack very great relief ; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of ray report. --; ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] --ASTHMA, SHORTNESS Or BREIT% COUGHS, AND COLDS.—A TRULY SURPRISING CAUL— The Rev. David Williams, the resident Wesleyan minister at Beau marls, in the island of Anglesea, states, in a letter dated togate 14th of January, 1815, that he " recommended Holloway's Pills man of the name of Hugh Davies, who at the time was almost un • able to walk Or want of breath, that he had only taken them a few days when he app ared quite another man; his breath was easy and na tural, and he wasi increasing dal.y in strength." These wonderful Pills will cure any cough, sold, or asthma. Sold at Professor Hol loway's Establishment, 244, Strand ; and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised World. On Saturday, at the Marylebone vestry, the Rev. Dr. Spry, the chairman, called the attention of the vestry to the distressing condition of a number of poor families resident in a place called York-court, near the workhouse. Very ew of these people had more furniture than an old stool, and f a few shavings to lie upon. He proposed that a Committee should be appointed for the purpose of investigating the subject.— Mr. Wilson, Mr. Joseph, and Sir. Peter Laurie corroborated the Rev. Chairman'sm an's statement, and a committee was ultimately appointed. A notice of motion was given for Saturday next for the establishment of five additional fire-escapes in various parts of the parish ; and Mr. Potter, the churchwarden of St. Mary's district, announced that a subscription had been opened for the survivors of the late calamitous fire in Craw ford-street, and most of - the leading members of the vestry a once came forward and contributed liberally.

On Thursday morning last, an accident, by which for tunately no personal injury was caused, occurred at the Albion Mills, Gaythorn, which see - now worked under the int , pectorship of Mr. Miarsden; 'Mr. Glasgow, and Mr. Peet, as inspectors for the estate of the late Mr. Thomas Gough. About ten minutes before eight o'clock that tn. orning, the main upright shaft, in thoeseeond or ground finite of the mill, brake in two at the neck, close to the collar ; and the steam-engine 'being; thus freed from the whole weight of the nittehieery which it has to keep in motion, the large fly-wheel, which is sbout seven yards in diameter, began to revolve with immense velo city. The rim of this wheel consists of eight cast-iron segments of a circle, each nbsut eight or nine feet in length, twelve inches broad, and six inches in thickness, and weighing about half a ton. These were *firmly bolted tog,ther, and stayed with very strong thick east iron spokes. Such, however, was the velocity with which this great bulk and weieht of iron was made to revolve, that, by centrifugal force, the segments were torn asunder, and thrown outwards with terrific force. They tore away portions of the brickwork surrounding the wheel ; and one of them was hurled upwards, and, striking the main steam pipe in its course, broke it in two, and thus fortunately cut off the source of motion. It then passed through the stair window, a height of 16 or 18 feet from the floor, and fell outside in Trumpet street. Fortunately no one was passing at the time, or this heavy projectile, striking them, must have caused instant death. Another of the tegments struck a corner of the wall which divides the engine-house from the boiler-house, with such force that, although it is a four teen inch wall, of great solidity, it was rent in several directions, and fissures are visible on the opposite side. The other segments struck varioue:parts of the engine. house, and made its • interior a ceteplete wreck. TWo cast-iron pillars, of considerable ,thickness, which sup port the engine, were both-, I.e.'eri:eleel:ally broken in two, at diffsietit "heights ; and the spring beam s;rii . also broken. Some of the stone stairs, leading to the upper part of the boiler-house, were tern from their setting, and broken in pieces. No one was in the engine house at the time ; the engineer having gone to the boiler house. Had he been in the engine-house, it is possible that he might have shut off the steam, and so have pre vented the destructive consequences ; but, had he failed to do this, and remained in the engine-house, he must inevitable have been killed. With the exception of the parts mentioned, it is not believed that the engine is very materially injured ; but when we visited the place the cylinder was still too hot to allow of internal exami nation.' The main beam of the engine is not broken; and the boiler is perfectly sound. It was fortunate that there was a strong cross-beam between the middle and upper floors of the engine-house, which supported the supporting beam of the engine, otherwise, when the two upright pillars were broken, the whole of .that part of the building must have fallen. It is stated that the whole of the mischief, from the breaking of the shaft to the stopping of the engine, was done in two minutes or less. Of course, as soon as the steam-pipe was broken, the engine diminished its speed of working, and soon stopped altogetln r. This untoward accident immediately brought the whole of the operations of the mill to a close; and, till the damage is repaired, which cannot be done in less than a fortnight, or probably three weeks, upwards of 360 hands are thrown out of employment. We have not been able to ascertain what was the immediate cause of the breaking of the shaft. It is nine inches in diameter, of east-iron, and we under stand that the shaft add boxing were put, new into the mill about four years ago. Mr. William Bowman has examined the iron at the fracture, and he states that it has every appearance of good sound iron. The engine, which is of seventy-five horses' power, and which was made by Messrs. Bothwell and Hick, of Bolton, in 1817, was working as usual from six o'clock in the morning, and there was nothing unusual observed before the breaking of the shaft. The fracture shows a bright and granular appearance ; so that there is no reason to suppose that it was in part an old fracture ; nor is there appearance, so far as we could see, of any flaw in the metal. It has been suggested that if there had been an extra governor, it would have instantly shut off the steam on the weight of the machinery being re moved, and that the great mischief would then have been prevented. It is at present impossible to ascertain exactly the amount of damage done to the action parts of the engine. The most remarkable thing, under the circumstances, and what strikes every one who has seen the place, is, that so much destruction of property should have been the work of a few seconds, and that not the slightest injury to limb or life should have been caused by such a terrific outbreak of mechanical force. On inquiry last evening, we learned that the interior of the cylinder had not been examined ; but there was no reason to anticipate that any damage had been sus tained by the engine beyond that noticed above. We also learn that the engineer, at the moment when the shaft broke, was in the fire place, and, seeing the engine working at so furious It rate, he dared not venture into Titetr:nmrirrnlnEt `;4-utastanee,C6lfibined witn the segment of the fly wheel going through the window, it was at first supposed in the neighbourhood that it was a boiler explosion.—Manchester Guardian.

MARCH 30, 1846. THE RAILWAY SHARE MARKET. DREADFUL AFFAIR at RUNCORN. On Tuesday, the 17th instant, a dreadful accident occurred at the limeworks of Mr. John Tomkinson, the eminent con• tractor, which are situated near the Pool, Runcorn. From the best evidence obtained on the spot the misfortune hap pened under the following circumstances : William Edwards had the entire management of the kilns, which are five in number, they are each covered over by a large brick chim ney, commonly called "the funnel," which rises above the head about 45 feet, and is constructed for the purpose of carrying off the smoke and sulphur, to prevent annoyance to the inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood. At the bottom of the funnel every kiln has a doorway through which it is supplied with stone and coke, and a stage or platform connects all together. The manager lived at a cottage in the yard, and was assisted by his son and two youths. About four o'clock in the afternoon he went into his house to tea, the centre kiln being on a red glow With heat. He and the others had previously been "firing up," and they left a barrowful of broken stones on the stage at the doorway, ready to be added to the burn ing mass as soon as the fire had got through its pre sent covering. One of the youths. named John Car ruthers, was left on the stage, and Edwards desired him not to do anything to the kiln till he had finished tea. Whilst he was sitting at it with his wife and family, his son, who, as previously stated, worked on the premises, ran in to say that, missing Carruthers from the stage, he called, and received no answer, he went up, and found him burning in the kiln; Edwards ran with a short ladder to deceased to snatch him from the burning flames, the workpeople assist ing. In this humane act poor Edwards was unsuccessful, for, grasping Carruthers with one hand, he tried to ascend the ladder; but, himself being dreadfully burnt, the sulphur and fumes overpowered him, and he fell with his dying burden into the awful abyss. Assista nce bein g now collected, prin cipally by the appalling screams of the awe-stricken specta tors, a man who worked at the soapery of Messrs. Johnson, named Levi Knowles, generou sly volunteered to go down, by h a ving a rope fastened round his middle, and to tie the one or other of the sufferers, and so by that means to have them dragged out. He boldly sprang in, and a few seconds of breathless anxiety elapsed before the signal was given to haul up, but the flames had consumed the rope and it snapped, the greatest difficulty being experienced to get Knowles out alive. Richard Linaker, with a chain, at tempted then, but the sulphurous smoke and stench soon caused him to become insensible. David Carruthers, father of the youth John Canna:era, and foreman at Mr. Tomkin son's quarries called " the Duke's," at Runcorn, arrived, and the scene, which before was dreadful, now became more so, from the force required to prevent Carruthers from jumping in headlong for the young man. All hope of getting either of the sufferers out alive being now at an end, drags were thrown in, and the remains of poor Edwards and the youth Carruthers were pulled out, two scorched, blackened, lifeless cinders. Knowles and Linaker still continued in a very pre carious state, but through the medical assistance of Mr. Wilson, surgeon, who was early on the spot, and the kind ness of the neighbours, they partially recovered so as to be able to get home with help. It is not known how Carru thers fell in, but it is generally supposed, whilst eating a lit tle meat while the two others were at tea, he must have sat on the barrow, and either fallen asleep or the barrow cap sized. Edwards was a steady man, and had been in the em ploy of Mr. Tomkinson 22 years. He has left a widow and numerous family. On Thursday last an inquiry into the cause of the distress ing catastrophe was held before Mr. J. Caldwell, coroner of Halton Fee, and after a patient investigation of the melan choly facts, the jury brought in a verdict of " Accidental death from burning. Tomkinson arrived at Runcorn on Friday, and marked the manner he appreciated poor Edwards' faithful and long servitude by sootking the widow's sorrows, and substantially relieving her present distress. The Rev. James Cox, incum• bent of Holy Trinity, has also with others been unremitting in their attention and kindness to the bereaved families. THE NEAPOLITAN TARIFF The following particulars are derived from a letter re ceived by a house in this town, dated Naples, March 12 : "The question of the tariff is at last decided ; and yester day the royal decree was made public. " The following are the reductions in the tariff on textile manufactures, as deduced from the amount of duty as stated in Italian money " The duty on cotton yarns is reduced one-third. " On cotton cloths, grey and white shirting., &c., the duty is reduced about one-half. " On printed cottons the reduction of duty will amount to about Gs. per piece, or one-half the existing duty. "On mixed cotton and worsted goods, and on worsteds, the reduction will amount to about ss. per piece. " On silk goods, and goods mixed with silk, the duty will be reduced one-third." We are indebted to another letter for the following particu lars of the new duties on a few of the most important articles of export from this country. As the duties were stated only in Neapolitan measures and money, which are rather difficult to reduce to English denominations,we may have made some errors, and therefore give them both ways : Prints (including handkerchiefs), 80 grani per square canna (4d. per square yard). Bleached cAtens, 45 grani per canna (2id. per square yard). Plain linens, 100 grani per canna (50. per square yard). Figured linens, 110 graui per canna (ad. per square yard). Fustians, velveteens, &c., plain or striped, 170 grani per canna (7id. per square yard). Cotton twists, 17 ducats per canter Oil per lb.). All the preceding duties are subject to a discount of 10 per cent.—Manchester Guardian. MR. WlLsoN.—The Scotch palms record the suc cesses of this vocalist in. his tour. RAILWAY PROJECTS. , . (From the Times.) The movement in favour of winding up abortive railway projects still-goes on. This is the great subject now discussed among all persons connected _with the railway interest; and it is really astonishing to find hoWnniCerSal has become , -the desire to see measures adopted which have this object in view. The sharebrokers of Leeds, following the example of their neighbours at Liverpool and Glasgow, have passed resolu tions calling upon their friends and the public to take imme diate steps for the prtparation of petitions, requesting mem bers of provisional committees of projects that cannot go-to Parliament this session to prepare accounts, lay thenebsfore the shareholders, and .at once distribute the funds iii their possession. From all parts of the country communications received on this question state that the stock exchanges re ' cently established, avhichs were some few months . agd the at traction of the inhabitants, are now deserted, end the various securities cannot be got 141 of without submitting to a vast depreciation in price. It is kesown that in the country gene rally a great scarcity of Toney exists among people engaged in trade r but particularly among the class of shopkeerS or re tail dealers; while at the same time it is understood that the provincial bankers constantly-receive applications for money, to relieve the pressure in which this portion of the commu nity find themselves placed. Much of this - ensbarnissment, without doubt, arises from share transactions, which having so universally folio% ed, bring a large amount of responsibi lity upon parties possessing hut limited means. ' It therefore behoves the Government to step in and arrest the progress of railway legislation, which, if persisted. in, instead of assisting the prosperity and developini , the resources' of the country, may prove in the end its road to ruin. The Bankers' Magazine for April says on this subject : "We cannot suppose that Parliament will be so unthiodful of the signs of the times as to pass even a tenth part of the 100,000,000/. which some people expect. The greatest mis fortune which can happen to the directors of many of the schemes would be the obtainment of their Bill. It is very true that 100,000,000!., compared with the whole disposable capital of the country, is not a sum which it is impossible to meet. If the whole disposable capital of the country was laid under a general pro rata assessment to raise even a larger amount, there cornet be any doubt that in the course ora reasonabie - ineerrarstire - Vajeesie eetxld - Ise- accen4ialiedc But the difficulty lies in a different direction. The funds for the construction of railways, so far front being suoplieci by the whole community, are supplied by a very small class of capitalists and traders. We admit, that in such a time of excitement as last year, the fever of speculation is so great as to implicate nearly all the adult population ; but then only a very small fraction indeed of these shoals of railway pro moters have either the will or the means to trouble them-. selves with shares during the period of the ' calls.' And in numerous cases where the means are ample, the will to do this is not present. The circle of holders, therefore, becomes narrowed to a small class of men, who have the shrewdness to appreciate the intrinsic value of the scheme, and who can afford to wait for its development." (From the Chronicle.) We alluded lately to a movement, originating in Glasgow, having for its object an application to Parliament, and other steps, to put a stop to the further progress of numerous rail way projects now before Parliament. We think the object deserving of support, and believe that a very general feeling is entertained of the necessity that exists for adopting effi cacious measures to accomplish the object sought for, and to make it applicable, in a wide form, to English railway com panies. But to make the movement useful, the motives of the originators must be pure, and their proce.dings must be impartial. They must have no favourites. Everything must be clear and above-board. We make these remarks because we have heard, from quarters likely to be well-in• formed, that the list of Bills pronounced against by the Glasgow movement is not free from objections. The matter has been taken up in Liverpool vigorously ; petitions to Par liament having been set on foot by the bankers, merchants, and traders, and committees of the Stock Exchange, ap pointed to assist and co operate with all parties interested in the various schemes now before Parliament. We subjoin a copy of the petition to the House of Com mons, and of the circular addressed by the special committee of the Liverpool Stock Exchange to the various provisional committees : " To THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS LI PAZ LLAMENT ASSEMBLED. "The humble petition of the undersignedbankers, merchants, traders, and others, inhabitants of Liverpool, " SHEWETH,—That your petitioners view with great alarm the number of railway Bills new brought forward for the sanction of Parliament. " That in the opinion of your petitioners the passing of many of these Bills, unaccompanied by any restriction as to the time for the construction of the lines, will have a most prejudicial effect upon the interests of the country generally, more especially those of the commercial and trading classes, who are the principal parties pledged to find the capital re quired for these undertakings, and whose means for pursuing their legitimate business will thus be completely absorbed, involving many of them in loss and ruin. " That the demand for such a large amount of capital for railways will, in the opinion of your petitioners, not only further derange the money market and interfere with trade and commerce, but by the sudden and violent efforts of its action on the labour market, will materially retard the com pletion of lines already sanctioned by the Legislature, and now in progress, as well as interfere with all other works of public utility. "That your petitioners view with the greatest apprehen sion the social evils which, in their opinion, would necessarily flow from the derangement of the labour market by the sudden demand for such an amount of labour in addition to that required for works now in progress, and for agricultural purposes, all experience of the present mode of construct ing railways proving the_ demoralising effects produced upon eh 6 withdrawn from their usual occupations, without sunicsent time being allowed for the requisite arrangements for such a transition. " That these evils must be felt in an augmented degree in proportion to the number of new lines granted. "That, in ord r to avoid the evils anticipated, it is the opinion of your petitioners, which they respectfully submit to the consideration of your Honourable House, that, in ad judicating upon the merits of any new lines, and in sanction ing the same, your Honourable House should prescribe as a condition attached thereto, that no calls be made by the companies obtaining such Bills within a less term than two or three years from the passing thereof, or such other period as your Honourable House shall deem advisable, reserving for the discretion of your Honourable House to make such special exceptions to this rule as shall, in your Honourable House's opinion, be imperatively called for in those cases of necessary extensions for completing the main trunk lines from the metropolis, and such coast and harbour lines as the Government of the country may deem indispensable for purposes of national defence, or naval or commercial objects. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Ho nourable House will adopt such measures as may effectually limit the capital to be employed in the construction of rail ways to such amount as may appear safe and practicable within a given period of time." "Railway Legislation Committee, 1, Royal Bank buildings, Liverpool, March 27, 1846. " Sir—l am requested to inform you that a special com. mittee has been formed out of the general committee of the Liverpool Stock Exchange, upon the subject of railway legis lation ; and this commit tee is anxious to co-operate with all parties interested in the various railway schemes now before Parliament. " That this committee are strongly of opinion that one of the chief causes of the present depressed state of the money market, and the unusual depreciation of every desaiption of property, is mainly attributable to the fears entertained as to the results of the linee at present projected, as well as to the large amount of calls now making en the Acts of last session. " They are also of opinion, if the Bills now before Parlia ment be largely restricted, or altogether postponed, great relief would at once be felt throughout the country, and that the calls on the proprietors of existing companies would be promptly met, and thus enable them to pursue their works with vigour. "That, even if success attend the present applications to the Legislature, it must be evident that the greatest difficul ties will be experienced by the companies in obtaining their capital. "That for these reasons, and with regard to the best in. terests of your project, they beg strongly to urge upon your beard to call a general meeting of your scripholders, to ascertain their opinion of the expediency, or otherwise, of withdrawing or postponing your proceedings in Parliament this session. "The objects of this committee have been approved by many most influential proprietors, and they trust that your board will forthwith adopt the course suggested; and they further request the favour of an early reply to this communi cation. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " H. SCRIVENOR, Secretary to the Committee. To the Chairman of the Provisional Committee of the --." RAILWAY ERPRISE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. EXPRESS TRAINS. The Great Western Company, it appears, intend from Wednesday next to start express trains every morning, except Sunday, at h , Ilf-past six, from Exeter to Padding ton, which will call at Taunton, Bristol, Bath, Chippen ham, Swindon, and Reading, accomplishing the whole distance in four-and-a-half hours, and returning from Paddington to Exeter at half after five the same evening. To the commercial body of Exeter, Plymouth, De vonport, and other places in the west, these express trains will be of the utmost importance, inasmuch as a tradesman will be enabled to leave his home in the morning, spend in London nearly the business hours of the day, and return home to Exeter to an early supper ! Considering, too, that Exeter is in the high road to Ply mouth, these express trains, securing as they do a rapid communication with that vast arsenal, are of great na tional importance. The thanks of the community are due to the Great Western Company .or their enterprise and spirit, and we hope the excellent example they have set will be followed by the London and Birmingham, the Grand Junction. and the other railway companies of similar commercial enterprise. We believe the London, Birmingham, and Grand Junction have had the idea in view for some time back, hut the Great Western has the merit of setting the example. REPRESUNTATION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE. We think it right to state, for the information of our readers, that there is considerable probability of an early election for the southern division of this county. Within the last f e w days rumours which had previously been i n circulation, of sui intention on the part of government to create several ad ditional peers, have acquired greater probability and_ con sistency. It is now pretty generally believed that after the Bill for altering the corn-law has passed the House of Com mons, several individuals, now or recently in that House, including Lord Francis Egerton, Lord Lit . icoln, and Lord Ashley, will be called to the tipper House, in order to assist in carrying the great measure through that assembly. W e give the statement as it reaches us. not vouching for its truth, but, at the same time, with a strong impression that there is at least some foundation for it.--111anehester Guardian.

PROTEST OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL. The folowing is an extract of the protest made by the late Capt. McLeod, of the Great Liverpool, before the Vice-Consul of the district of Corcubion, on the 26th of Feb. last : "I, Alexander McLeod, Lieutenant in her Britannic Majesty's royal navy, and commander of the contract mail steam-ship Great Liverpool, do make known and hereby protest, that at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 24th of Feb., 1846, whilst on our homeward passage from Alexandria, Malta, Gibraltar. towAttis _Southampton awl, reins -_then front 7to 10 miles tc, the southward of ()ape inisterre, in the province of Galicia, in the kingdom of Spain, that the said ship did strike on a shoal, during thick, foggy, dark weather, blowing strong from S.S.W., with a heavy sea run ning, steering at the time N.N.E., and thereby received so much damage that the engines were soon stopped by the water flowing into the engine-room; that she th.:n drifted in towards the land, and stranded in a small bav called Gure, about a league and a half to the southward of 'Corcubion." IRISH PROVISIONS. The following is the list of provisions which have been im ported from the principal ports of Ireland during the past week,—On the 18th inst. three ships arrived in the River Thames, bringing collectively 353 packages of beef, 150 of butter, 2,050 barrels of oats, 450 of bacon, and 193 of lard. On the following day eleven ships arrived at the port of Lon den from the same quarter, having on board 4,477 barrels, 4,113 quarters, and 104 tons weight of oats, 1,152 packages of butter, 3,339 of bacon, 415 of lard, 20 of flour, 401 of pork, 12 of hams, 250 of seed, 138 of eggs, 50 of merchandise, in ad dition to a quantity of porter and linens, and various other articles the produce of the Irish soil. 6,272 quarters of oats were also imported into Runcorn from Ballina on the same day. On the 20th the arrivals co m p rised 527 p acka g es of bacon, 356 of pork, 238 of butter, 233 of lard, 29 of hams, 18 of beef, and 312 barrels and 1,250 quarters of oats ; and the following arrivals also took place at the port of Bristol from the ports of Ireland in immediate connexion with that place: —235 packages of bacon, 275 of butter, 18 sacks aad 10 tons of oatmeal, 128 kegs of lard, sundry packages of seeds and hams, 37 sacks of pollard, 10 packages, of beef, 20 of pork, 1,568 barrels and 95 quarters of wheat. On the following day the importations into the port of London consisted of 0 ,000 barrels and 3,660 quarters of oats, 1,099 packages of bacon, 41 of hams, 81 of pork, and 338 of lard. The follow ing is the list of provisions imported into the port of Liver pool from the Irish ports trading with that place, being from the 13th to the 19th inst. inclusive--4,281 firkins, 175 half firkins, 773 casks, 150 boxes, and 6 tons of butter; 1,320 quarters, 443 bags, 2,835 barrels, and 32 tons weight of wheat; 4,873 sacks of flour; 185 tons weight, 1,350 bar rels, 383 bags, and 630 quarters of oats ; 245 ton weight and 266 packages of oatmeal ; 74 casks of hams; 509 barrels and 5 casks of bacon ; 492 boxes of linens and 19 bales of cotton manufactures; 161 packages of whisky; 16 packages of tongues;. 21 firkins of beef; 39 packages of provisions; 297 barrels and 25 kegs of pork ; 2 tons of meal; 38 tons of seed ; 178 bags, 40 barrels, and 380 quarters of malt; 32 sacks, 123 firkins, and 1,772 kegs of lard; 280 barrels of barley; 27 sacks of farina, and various other articles of minor import ance. Finally, the importations into the port of London, from Ireland on Monday in t he p resent week comprised, in addition to 1,000 quarters of oats, 16 packages of bacon, 29 of hams, 54 of pork, 60 of malt, 34 of lard, 426 of eggs, and a large quantity of linens, whisky, paper, and ether ar ti c l e s; and into Runcorn on the same day, 3,3'5 quarters of oats from the port of Ballyratne; and en Tuesday the ar rivals consisted of 754 packages of bacon, 28 of hams, 119 of pork, 42 of flax, 53 of lard, 84 of butter, 521 of eggs, 93 of other descriptions of provisions, 117 of porter, 20 barrels of shoulders and 75 of middles of meat, 139 pigs, loose, and 7 crates of the same description of animals, in addition to a variety of other articles of lesser importance too numerous to be further particularised. In the enumeration of the foregoing list of provisions of various descriptions which have been imported into this country from Ireland in the space of a few days, we abstain from any remark on their number and importance at the present time, when the con sideration of Ireland and the distress stated to exist in that country are occupying the most earnest attention of the Le gislature and the British public, simply stating the facts and giving an authentic and correct list of the arrivals of such articles from the quarter alluded to, leaving the further con sideration of the matter for those most interested and con cerned. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 27.—Some de• scriptions of Foreign Wool have been more in request this week, but the demand generally is somewhat languid, and sales limited to the requirements for immediate consumption. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 27. The de mand for wool continues in the same languid state as for the last few weeks, and prices may be quoted a shade lower. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Iklancti 27.—1 n short wool we have little doing, but as stocks are small, prices are better supported than for long wool, the demand for which is exceedingly limited, consumers only buying to supply imme diate requirements on rather easier terms. LEEDS.—On Saturday there were rather more goods sold at the Cloth-halls than has been the case during the month, but on Tuesday there was leis business done. Notwithstand ing the dull markets, there is no great accumulation of goods in the Halls , th e manufacturers wisely continuing to limit the production. Prices in consequence remain steady. Busi ness continues dull in the warehouses, and until the Tariff Bill is settled, it is generally thought, that there will be no material improvement in trade. BRADFORD MARKET, TKURSIDAY.—The slackness in all departments of our market still continues. For combirg wools the demand is extremely limited for the season; for short wools there is more request. Prices are very firm. There is no improvement in the yarn market. A very great deal of machinery is'standing idle. Prices remain the same. For plain pieces the trade is steady, but very dull. There was a good attendance of merchants, but they seemed in most cases to be merely looking On. The opinion i s mos t emphatically expressed in our market that the delay in tile se ttl em ent of the corn question is doing great injury to the trade. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—It is hardly po3sible correctly to describe the extreme prostration of our cloth market.
