*ions in its disclosures, and furnishing, in fact, far better criteria of the popularity of railways in this country as sound media for permanent investment, than did its pre deceesor, which was principally an exponent, not of indivi dual investment, but of the holdings by the representa tives of established lines in proposed tributaries or ex tensions. Probably no document ever exhibited railway enterprise under a more imposing aspect, since, irrespective of the many tlhousands who hold largely in established lines, we find. on calculation, that the return includes upwards of twenty a on sand subscribers to the lines and branches of last session alone, subsc 4 ribing to the extent of 21,386,703/.65. 44. Nume rical references in connexion with every name are given to the titles of the lines in which the parties are holders, show ing at the same time their extent of holding. Amongst these names are to be recognised many of the leading nobi lity, the largest manufacturing firms, and names familiar to most people, as connected with the coramerct and literature of the country. The juxta-position nanva and descriptions presents some remarkable contrsnts, the same columns pre senting a combination of peers and printers, vicars and vice admirals, spinsters and lto!,f-psys, M.P.'s and special pleaders, professors and cotton-P;pinners, gentlemen's cooks and Q.C.s, attorney's clerks and college scouts, waiters at Lloyd's, re lieving officers and excisemen, barristers and butchers, Ca tholic priests and coachmen, editors and engineers, dairymen and dyers, braziers, bankers, beer-sellers, and butlers, domes tic servants, footmen, and mail-guards, with a multitude of other callings unrecorded in the book of trades. WORCESTER LINES. WORCESTER, TLYEFDAY EVENING.—To day a special meet ing of the Town Council of Worcester has been held at the Guildhall, for the purpose of sending an answer to the several notices referring to new railways proposed to come into this city. The following is a correct list of the schemes in respect of which notices had been served on the Town Clerk on behalf of the Corporation : Welsh Midland--A line of railway from Worcester to the South Wales mineral district. Worcester and South Wales Junction—For a partially competing line to the Welsh Midland line, extending from orcester to the South Wales line, somewhere in Hereford shire or Monmouthshire. Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester—For a line between these towns. Worcester, Tenbury. and Lincoln—A line partially com peting with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen. Warwick and Worcester—A competing line with the Rug by, Warwick, and Worcester. Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby—A competing line to the last named and to the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester. Worcester and Leominster—A line between Worcester and Leominster, by way of Bromyard. The above projects came on for discussion in the order in which they are arranged above, the first being the WELSH MIDLAND. The Town Clerk (J. HILL, Esq.), producing several notices which he had received from this Company, observed that they proposed to bring their line across Foregate-street, which would spoil one of their best streets; to annihilate the new cattle-market, which had been constructed within the last six years at an enormous expense, and to cut up San some Walk (a favourite public promenade), by a cutting pine feet in depth. Mr. Halinowsnrry said the line would also annihilate all the literary institutions of the city, via., the Natural History Society, the City and Comity Library, and the Lite rary and Scientific Institution. Mr. J. N. SEA (Vice-Chairman of the Severn Commission) thought there were sufficient grounds for giving a dissent to the scheme, even if no other could be advanced. But there were other objections to this scheme, which he would advert to if the Council were not satisfied of the importance of those already . represented. As the Council, however, did not seem to require any additional stimulus for objecting to the scheme, he would at once move that the Town Clerk be instructed to dissent to the Welsh Midland Railway. Mr. ELGIE (Sheriff of Worcester) seconded the motion for dissent, which was carried unanimously. WORCESTER AND SOUTH WALES JUNCTION. In respect of this scheme the Town Clerk said he had r.!- ceived ten notices, from which it appeared that this line was intended to cross a piece of ground common to the freemen of the city, called Pitchcroft, and which was used as the Wor cester race-course. This would be intersected by an em bankment 37 feet in height, and an embankment of 28 feet would cut across certain charity property near the same em bankment, continued at an elevation of 20 feet, passing over Foregate•street, and continuing across the Sansome Walk. promenade. This scheme was more strongly objected to than the Welsh Midland, and the dissent of the Council was at once placed against the scheme. RUGBY, WARWICK, AND WORCESTER. This line was explained by Mr. Sheriff DAM (who is also one of the solicitors to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway Company) to be one of a class of railway schemes which would compete with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. The Council, after some discussion, agreed to take a neutral part with regard to this projected line of railway, and the Town Clerk was instructed to reply accordingly. WORCESTER, TENBURY, AND LUDLOW. The Town Clerk described the course of this line on en tering Worcester, as passing across the race-course by an embankment of twenty feet, and touching upon property be longing to the Corporation on the banks of the Severn. A motion for remaining neutral with respect to this line was agreed to, the seconder arguing that this was a com- Lting line with the Wore( star and Porthdy nn l aen , as f ar as udlow. This line of the Worcester and Porthdynnlaen, which did not touch upon any property of value in Wor cester, was calculated to benefit Worcester more than any line yet projected, and ought therefore to receive the cordial support of its inhabitants. WARWICK AND WORCESTER. This line was described as infringing upon the Corporation property only in a slight degree. The town clerk was in structed to represent the Council as neutral. WORCESTER, WARWICK, AND RUGBY. In respect of this line also, the Town Clerk was instructed to return the Council as neutral. The coarse as laid out does not touch upon any publicproperty, though some of the charity property comes within the limits of deviation. The three last named are competing projects. WOIRCESTER AND LEOMINSTER. Councillor CRANE having observed that this was a scheme totally uncalled for by the wants of the district, Mr. J. W. LEA took occasion to observe that it had been originated at the earnest request of the most influential per sons resident on the line between Worcester and Leominster. It was intended to be brought in connexion with the Wor cester, Warwick, and Rugby, which would be a valuable feeder at one ern' of the line, while the South Wales line must very greatly contribute to its traffic at the other end. The line would also come into Worcester without interfering with any property of value. In reply to a question put by one of the Council, Mr. Lea stated that this line was never intended to be connected with the Welsh Midland line, though it would be with the Great Eastern and Western. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON. WORCESTER, TUESDAY NIGHT.—In the course of the pro ceedings of a special meeting. held here to-day, of the Wor cester Town Council, on the subject of the proposed lines to come into this city, some observations were made on the de lay in commencing the works of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamptoa Railway. One of the Town Councillors remarked that a rumour had been pretty freely circulated, to the effect that the works never would be begun ; on which - Mr. Er GIE (one of the solicitors to the Company) observed that the works had actually been commenced, and that the principal works had been staked out. The subject of the Worcester station was also adverted to, and Alderman EVANS took the opportunity of informing the local solicitors (both of whom were present at the meeting) that the citizens of Worcester were deeply anxious to have a good approach to the station, and to have the station con veniently situate. SOUTH-EASTERN. The Directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company have circulated amongst the proprietors a handsome little volume, containing a statement of the position of the Com pany with reference to the projects which it is intended to present to Parliament in the next session. At the outset they express their opinion that the interests of the Company have suffered from the want of a full understanding of its position and policy, and this more especially in the districts through which a large proportion of the proposed new works w ill pass. After a recapitulation of a few of the leading facts connected with the position of the Company, a statement is given of the extensions which Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer, has recommended. They are as follow : " I. From Waterloo-road, near Hungerford-bridge, to the Greenwich Railway at the crossing of the Grand Surrey Canal. The object of this line is to form a West-end ter minus for all the lines in connexion with the South-Eastern. This terminus will be formed, opening on the Waterloo-road, and also on the York-road, Lambeth, which will bring it into immediate communication both with the Waterloo and Hun gerford bridges. It will connect the whole South-Eastern system with. the South-Western line, and through that line and the extensions proposed by the Birmingham and Great Western Companies, the last link in tke chain of connexion will be established. The series will thus be complete from Dover to Edinburgh, to Holyhead and to Falmouth. 2. From the Greenwich Railway at Deptford Creek and the Grand Surrey Canal. to Chilham, near Canterbury, with branches to Sheerness and to Faversham Creek. This is the North Kent line as promoted by the South-Eastern Company. The total length from the Greenwich Railway at Deptford Creek to Chilham is 52 miles 3 furlongs 105 yards, a n d f rom the Greenwich Railway at the Grand Surrey Canal toChilham 53 miles 1 furlong 213 yards, the portion from Dartford to Chilham being comprised in both. Commencing at the Greenwich Railway, at the point where the line from Waterloo-road terminates, the North Kent line of this Com pany proceeds through a portion of Deptford New-town to -Lewisham, thence by Eltham, Bexley, and Crayford to Dartford. From Dartford to Gravesend the line is substan tially the same as last year ; but from Gravesend onward to Strood, a lower level is taken, adopting the line of the 1 1 19 1 ,rae: and Medway Canal, and Gravesend and Rochester ftiz ß _.7. From Strood, where the Gravesend and Roches `"` s liwaY terminates, the line proceeds across the Medway at about 100 Yards below the existing bridge at Rochester. Through Rochester and Chatham the line proceeds along thi. marshes at the north side, and in the rear of the houses in the High-streets provisions for Convenient thence quays and landing-places along iiigh ground which the line proceeds under the. by a tunnel 1,219 ararrainChatham from Gillingham depth of 163 feet.

From the Greenwich Railway at the crossing of the Grand Surrey Canal to Maidstone, As hford and Tunbridge. This is the central or Mid-Kent portion of the series, and is in length from the Greenwich Railway to Chart, near Ash ford, 49 miles 6 furlongs 79 yards. From Lewisham the line proceeds, following the valley of Ravensbourne to Bromley, thence by the Farnborough to the valley of the D arent, which it will cross by a viaduct near Shoreham and Otford. Thence by Kemsing, Wrotham and Tytham to West and East Mailing, and thence to Maidstone, forming there a main station in the High-street, close to the Town-hall. From Maidstone the line proceeds by nollingbourne, Her rietshara, and L enham, to Little Ch a r t, w here it falls into the South-East o f Ashford. e 2 lll line, about 2 miles west From Igtlam,the Greenwich Railway, t,tb•ianch, miles 2 furlongs and 4 yards with the main South- unbridfe, forming there a junction bridge Wells branch ; and fro me, and also ,with the Tun- Point of starting, a branch 214 Otford, 17i miles from the to Riverhead, near Sevenoaks. %as in length is laid down portant, both to the North Kent and th e equally im the line from Maidstone to Rochester a Mid-Rent system, This line will commence by a junction ge next in order. South-Eastern branch line at Maiditone,wantli the existing also with the main station at the Town A n an can i a t ezie ,,n proceed as far as' Allington, 2 miles 6 furlongs -- w. ` 77 yards, in a line common to the Mid- Kent line. Fe and Allington it follows the valley of the Medway throughout to Strood, neat the foot of Rochester-bridge, where it will form a junction with the South-Eastern North Kent line, and also with the existing Gravesend and Rochester Railway. The length from Maidstone to the junction with the Graves end and Rochester Railway at Strood is 11 miles 6 furlongs and 22 yards. The line next in importance is the extension of the Tunbridge Wells branch through Battle to St. Leo na:d's, near Hastings, and (by a junction with the Ashford and Hastings line) to Rye. The total length of line from Tunbridge Wells to the junction at St. Leonard's is 25 3 4 miles, that of the branch from Wbatlington towards Rye 5 1 % miles. This opens a direct line from London, rid Tunbridge, to Hastings and Rve. The total distance from London to Hastings will be 64miles ; that from London to Rye 67 miles. From the line already authorised at Rye, and which is in course of construction, a branch iP proposed to Rye Harbour, 1 3 4 miles. From a point near the Godetene station, a branch is proposed to East Grinstead, 6% miles ; and from the Reigate station a branch to Reigate and to Dorking, 7 3 4 miles. It is intended by these works, together with the other works of the South-Eastern Company, either actually executed or in course of execution, to connect Lon don with every town of importance in Kent and East Sussex, and those towns with each other. A saving of distance to the following places will be effected :—Tunbridge 9* miles, Maid stone 20i miles, Ashford 131 miles, Canterbury 201 miles, Tunbridge Wells 10 miles, Whitstable 20i miles, Folkestone 13/, miles, Dover (by Mid-Kent line) 13i miles, Dover (by North Kent line) 12 miles, Margate 24 miles, Ramsgate 201 miles, Sandwich 20i miles, Deal 20 miles. With respect to the financial position of the Company, the Directors state that a million and a half of capital has been paid up during the last twelve months. The total amount of capital which has been paid up in cash by the Proprietors is 3,400,000/., and an additional sum of 1,600,0001., which has been bor rowed on mortgage, is in processs of being paid off and con verted into share capital, making together a capital of 5,000,000/. ; and to complete the works for which Parliamen tary powers have been obtained, 620,0001. more will be re quired to be caned up."

THE SUN, LONDON, WI4IDNES I DAY: EVEN] NG JANUARY 7,__ 1846 to be laid at the door of their not having the franchise; and that, if the lower classes are ignorant, this is no greater incapacity (if so great) than the prejudices and sinister interests of the higher classes. The English statute- book furnishes too many proofs of the way in which the aristocracy and the landed interest have legislated for themselves. We have said that the political franchise is an effective educator. It is, if a state of things exists in which the franchise can be exercised freely by the large numbers who are necessarily more or less de pendent on superiors, where bribery and intimidation prevail : where landlords make their tenants-at-will vote at their own bidding, and votes are sold for ale or money, then the elective franchise ceases alto gether to be a means of education ; and, further than this, it becomes an instrument to degrade instead of raising (as it might do) the . character of the voter, turning him into a crouching slave, or staining his soul with venality. The wider the franchise is diffused, the more per sons are necessarily brought within the electoral class who are likely to yield to the foul influences of bribery and intimidation. But, on the other hand, the larger are the constituencies, the more difficult will it be to carry elections by these foul means. Add the protection of ballot to a system of large con stituencies (none, as we have said 'before, having less than a thousand electors), and we should be ready to defy all the " constitutional" Dukes and all the bribers of the Carlton into the bargain. As things are,with a large number in miserably small borough constituencies, ,A here a moderate purse or one considerable proprietor can easily turn the scale, and without the ballot to interpose between landlords and their tenants-at-will, who are enfranchised in the counties, we find ourselves, notwithstanding all that has been done by the Reform Act, with a House of Commons which no one will pretend to call a fair re presentation of the people. We believe we are under the mark when we say that a fifth of the Members of the House of Commons are sons and brothers of Peers. What volumes does this fact speak for the influence of Peers in elections ! The aristocracy are not content with the House of Lords, which they have all to themselves, but have got one-fifth of the House of Commons, also, through sons and brothers. And this calculation does not in clude all the country squires connected by marriage, as well as in landed interest, with the aristocracy. The members of the aristocracy and the country gentlemen together are, at least, half of the House of Commons. The Duke of PORTLAND, it would appear from his letter to the secretary to the Agricultural Pro tection Society of Nottinghamshire, " cannot encou rage the delusion that any good can be done except by fighting the Anti-Corn-law League with their own weapons ;" and as the weapons with which the Anti-Corn-law League have fought the battle of free trade have been logical deductions from proved premises, weapons which the monopolist hath not in his armoury, we take it that his Grace of PORTLAND gives up the battle of protection as lost. It would appear as if all the leading landowners were in the same predicament as the Duke of PORT LAND, for nut one of them honoured the protection meeting held at Newark last week Ns ith their pre sence. My Lord LINCOLN sent a civil excuse ; my • Lord JOHN MANNERS a direct refusal; Mr. GALLY KNIGHT was prevented from attending by ill health, and Mr. W. E..GLADSTONE by public business. The latter gentlpman, who, like TALLEYRAND, seems to imagine that language was given to man to enable him to disguise his thoughts, says, in his letter of apology : " I must, however say, that in whatever situation I may be placed, I shall always be desirous to secure for agriculture everything that, upon a just view of the general interest, it can claim, and to see those who are connected with it exercise a powerful influence upon, and as part of the community." Now there is nothing in this passage to which any member of the Anti-Corn-law League would not heartily subscribe, for there is not one of them who would not "be desirous to secure for agriculture everything that, upon a just view of the general interest, it can claim." Our complaint, is that it claims and possesses more than upon, a just view of the public in terest, it ought to possess. Even the Duke of NEW CASTLE Was not present in propia persona, although he was represented by his steward, Mr. WILMOT, as was Earl MANVERS by his steward, Mr. PICKIN, who, as Vice-President of the Society, presided over the meeting. The pro ceedings were of the usual " protection meet ing" character. Abuse of the League in general, and of Mr. COBDEN in particular, formed the staple of the talk, garnished here and there with threats of what they could and would do with Sir ROBERT PEEL, should he attempt to diminish the present amount of protection. There were, of course, the usual assertions of the superiority of agriculture over manufactures. "We have heard," said Mr. PICKIN, " of a ' great fact ;' but the greatest fact is what all history teaches us—namely, that those states which have given encouragement to agriculture are those which have prospered ; while we have, alas ! many instances of states, once renowned for trade and commerce, which are no longer in existence." Now this " greatest fact" of Mr. PICKIN'S is the very reverse of a fact. Poland has al ways given the greatest encouragement to agri culture—she is now blotted out from the list of na tions. Belgium has always encouraged trade and manufactures, and although for centuries she has been the battle-field of Europe, she has always been in a flourishing condition, and her people have had, gene rally, a greater command of the comforts of life than any other people in the world. Strict accuracy, however, is not to be expected from a gentleman who, like Mr. PICKIN, will venture to say, "1 do assure you that rent is the last of his outgoings of which a farmer ought to complain. I have no he sitation in asserting that the tenant-at- will, who has the goo4l fortune to hold a farm under a liberal landlord, is in better cir cumstances than he who occupies his own freehold. None but a land-steward could have had the assur ance to have made such an assertion as this. W e look upon it as an indication of the intention of landlords to screw out of their tenants, if they can, their present exorbitant rents under all circum stances. The farmers should form a league among themselves, so as to be prepared to act together in self-defelice, and if this screwing system should be attempted, every tenant should give notice to quit, and let the landlord occupy his own free hold. If we mar judge from the speech of Mr. WILMOT, the League have put the Duke of NEWCASTLE into a quandary. The venerable Duke can no longer "do what he likes with his own." "The League," piteously whines his Grace of NEW in the person of Mr. Wirator, CAST LE, speaking " are from day to day increasing their numbers on the register ; " and even Colonel ROLLESTON, the only Member of Parliament present, spoke very doubtingly of his chance of re-election. It is evident that the protectionists of Nottinghamshire are thoroughly frightened, and there can be very little doubt, but that, after the next election, we shall have the pleasure of seeing GEORGE WiLsoN, Esq., Chair man of the Anti-Corn-law League, take his seat in the House of Commons as one of the Members for the county of Nottingham. We have accounts by the Peninsular mail from Lisbon to the 30th December. The resignation of Sir ROBERT PEEL had caused a strong sensation among all parties. The Cortes were to meet on the 2d of January, when the Speech would be delivered by the QUEEN in person. The new mode of collect ing the taxes had been officially published, and was to come into immediate operation. There is no other intelligence in the papers of the slightest interest. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received. The Chamber of Deputies, at their meeting on that day, heard the draught of the Address in reply to the Speech from the 'Throne, as prepared by the Com mittee appointed for that purpose, together with the amendments proposed by Senor SEIJAS on the part of the Opposition. The discussion on these docu ments was fixed for Saturday, the 3d inst. On the 30th the Three per Cents. closed at 36f for cash, and 36 10-16 at 60 days. The speech of Admiral MACKA,J, in the French Chamber of Deputies, relative to the navy, has excited much interest in France, and forms the principal topic of discussion in the Paris journals. We have already stated that he had introduced a Dill &gond ing a grant of 93,000,000 f., to extend over seven years, for building and refitting sailing-ships, steam ships, and adding to the naval stores in the arsenals. The objee'i of this grant is to put the navy into the state prescribed by the ordonnance ,of 1837 and the royal decree of 1842. The only difference is, that the number of steam-ships fixed by that decree is to be increased by thirty. It may be necessary to state, that in order to carry out the original intentions of the Government with the additions mentioned, the total sum required is 135,000,000 E, or about 5,400,0001. This sum is to be met by an annual payment of 6,000,0001. for seven years, and the grant now required of 93,000,000 f. The following is the mode in which this large sum is to be expended : Building ships, 70,194,0001. ; fitting out, 24,200,0001.; artillery and stores, 9,200,000 f.; steam-engines, 7,800,000 f.; stores for the arsenals, 23,500,0001. — making a total of 134,894,000 f. By means of this expenditure, France will come into possession of 270 sailing ships of war, viz., 20 ships of the line, now afloat ; 20 on the stocks, and nearly finished ; 50 frigates, of which 40 are afloat, and 10 building; 60 corvettes ; 60 brigs ; 40 smaller ships ; and 20 trans ports. Also 100 steam-ships, viz., 30 of the first class, that is of from 400 to 600 horse-power, and 70 of the second class, or from 90 to 300 and upwards horse-power. The Bill was re ferred to a Committee, without any remarks. In respect to this large grant, the Constit utionnel says Let it be observed that all this is not an increaso, but the supplying the deficit, and a carrying into execution of measures resolved upon several years ago. While waiting for the publication of the re port, we are struck with one reflection. It is con fessed that there exists a deficit or insufficiency, which it has not till now thought fit to make known to the Chambers and the country. This is an ad ditional proof of the necessity of the inquiry ordered last year, and a useful result of this Parliamentary resolution. We will add that, the Ministry has thus pronounced its own condemnation, for the resistance it made three years ago to the proposition of M. LACROSSE, which it declared to be a usebss amend ment." The Opposition journals in general express satisfaction at the proposed grant, and only co.ca plain that the Government have been so backward in showing something like national spirit. The best article on the subject is in the Press, which we here subjoin : " The credit of ninety-three millions, now demanded has no other object than to insure the execution of the ordinance of 1837. It was not then executed, you will exclaim. Certainly not: For nine years we have been out of those normal conditions which the Government had itself fixed for our navy in time of peace. What, then, have become of all the credits voted so liberally by the Chambers? The greater part have been shame fully wasted, and employed for purposes different from these for which they had been granted. Feel astonish ment after that at the complaints so often brought for ward against the Department of the Marine In our opinion, the Chambers have been too good natured. They would have done better to complain of the man ner in which the public money 'is wasted. Great abuses would thus be avoided, and France would be stronger than she is, and than she will be, after all the expenses that are about to be required. It ought to he known, and we dwell designedly on the point, that the Government at present demands not alone 93 mil lions, but 135 millions ; for if the extraordinary credit is reduced to 93 millions, it is because the ordinary credits placed on the budget are each year increased. 'lt is, therefore, really 135 millions of new subsidies which the Government demands. And why so ? To develope on a large scale our means of maritime action ? To ap proach the position which England has long taken up ? Not st all. Solely to place us in the condition where we ought to have been these nine years. It must be added that we shall not attain it very quickly. Seven years are required to arrive at it with the aid of this extra ordinary credit of 135 millions. Thus we shall have taken sixteen years, and expended enormous sums, be sides the current budgets, to place our navy on the foot ing which was judged indispensable at a period when events had not yet demonstrated all the necessity that exists for France to be powerful on the ocean ! Let us not, then, speak of progress on the occasion of this. Bill; let us not imagine that our country, if it pays largely, is about to be endowed with a naval force which will allow it to play a great maritime part. No, that would be pure illusion. The money now demanded is destined only to repair the faults of the past, to fill up the deficiencies which it is no longer possible to conceal, to give us in 1845 the naval organisation which we ought to have had in 1837. Such is the true state of the case. In England, perhaps, umbrage will be taken at this last credit. In France it will be supposed, perhaps, that we are going to take a giant's stride in the course where all the national sympathies urge the Government. In both cases a mistake will be made. The ordinance of 1837 becomes a verity, and that is all. Over that the 137 millions are spent. We shall simply have the effective force which Admiral Dupers if then demanded as neces sary, with this difference, however, that in place of 70 steamers, which were put down in his plan, we shall have 100, or 30 more. Insufficient as is this result, it is the inquiry of last year which has produced it. Let us congratulate ourselves, therefore, on the decision taken at that period by the Chamber. We strongly supported it, and, in our opinion, it had only one fault, that of being tardy." " The indisposition of the Queen of the French arises from a cold attended by lumbago, caught, it is believed, in visiting various shops to make purchases of presents for New Year's-day. Tier Majesty is not obliged to keep her bed, and was even able on Saturday to join the family circle in the saloon. " The winter seems to have sot in at Paris. On Sun day evening a considerable quantity of snow fell, and still lies thick upon the ground in those parts of the city where it is not melted by the artificial heat. " The overland India mail, by the usual conveyance via Malta and Marseilles, reached Paris on Sunday. " According to accounts from St. Petersburgh, dated the 26th ult., the cold had varied between 12 and 15 de grees below zero of Reaumur (from 7 degrees above to 2 degrees below zero of Fahrenheit), but the total ab sence of snow stops all intercourse with the different parts of the empire, and thus threatens an enormous in crease in the prices of the necessaries of life.

ALBANS.--A public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Albans was held in the Town-hall, on Monday evening, t o f orward the free-trade qualification movement in this county. The chair was ably tilled by Mr. C. Lattimore, the " Hertfordshire Farmer ;" and Mr. Falney addressed the meeting as a deputation from the Council of the League. The proceedings were conducted with great spirit; and a resolution, pledging the meeting to co-operate with the League was carried unanimously and by acclamation. The room was crowded during the whole of the proceedings, which lasted nearly three hours, and the meeting finished with hearty cheers for the chairman, the League, and free-trade. The chairman repeatedly invited discussion, but even in this agricultural district monopoly could find no champion. It is true the monopolists held a meeting a few days ago, but when some question was asked by a gentleman present, the chairman (the Marquis of Salis bury) said he would instantly dissolve the meeting if there were any discussion ! Verily, the days of protection are numbered, and its advocates know it.

SECOND EDITION ‘o rains 21111 t LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1846. Intelligence has been received at Havre from New York to the 17th of December, being two days later than that brought by the Cambria, and we are not at all surprised to find that it is not of a satisfactory character. The feelings displayed in the Senate at the meeting of the 15th were of a warlike character. On the morning of that day, in place of proceeding in the routine business, which was to complete the or ganization of Committees, the House entered upon the resolutions proposed by General CASS relative to the state of the army and navy. General CASS, on re newing the subject, took the opportunity of making a war speech of an inflammatory cha racter. He asserted that war was imminent, and considered it incumbent on Congress to look their duties and difficulties in the face, and prep tre for the contest. He approved of the course of the PRE SIDENT in relation to this subject, and also of the manner in which France had been alluded to in the Message. The PRESIDENT had .done his duty, and it now remained for them to do theirs. He besought the Senate to present an undivided front. The best support they could give to the PRESIDENT was to respond to the Message, and the way to prevent war was to make the necessary preparations to meet it. "On the frontier," he said, " our popula tion is scattered and exposed, our coast is without fortifications, and our navy is not in a warlike condition. What we want is the material for military and naval operations. The men are always ready." He concluded by remarking that great responsibility rested on them, and he trusted they would discharge it fearlessly, and with a wise forecast. During the course of his arguments he read extracts from the debate in the English Parliament upon the receipt of the President's inaugural address, and from their tone he inferred that an amicable adjustment of the ques tion would be found to be impracticable. The tone of the speeches 'which:followed and the result were much of a piece with the warlike General's remarks. Mr. MANGUM regretted that the gallant senator should have supported his motion by a speech of the warlike character in which he had seen fit to indulge; but he was willing to trust the business with the Execu tive, with whom the responsibility rests, and if the result should be war, after the call of the ayes and the noes, by which that measure would be sanctioned, there would be no further division on this subject. He deprecated all inflammatory discussion ; it was not necessary to rouse the country to a proper sense of its rights and its duties—these the people were always alive to. He, however, did not apprehend war, and he believed such a result was not contemplated. He hoped that negotiations might be resumed. He con cluded by moving that the further consideration of the subject be postponed ; but the motion was lost. A third senator expressed his gratification at the declarations made by gentlemen, that should war come, it would find no opposer. He did not know whether this was attributable to their patriotism or to the salutary les sons taught by the last war. It might be that lessons of experience had taught the malcontents the serious consequences to themselves of opposition after war should come. In this he is supposed to have alluded to Mr. BUCHANAN and Mr. BANCROFT, Hubbard, of N. H., and other members of the democratic party. A fourth said—" When the conflict shall come—if come it must— which he did not and could not believe—he trusted we would be found united to a man ; that our motto would be that of the lamented DECATUR—"' Our country, right or wrong." General Coss rose to reply, but gave way to a message from the House, informing the Senate that that body had passed the usual resolutions on the occasion of the announce ment of the death of - Mr. PEYTON, and asking the concurrence of the Senate in the same. The subject was not resumed. If such are the sentiments expressed in the Senate, what may be expected in the Lower House, when the men of the " far west" and the POLK party shall have an opportunity of speaking out ? The Washington correspondent of the .New York Inquirer thus closes his letter : " I am now able to state, I think with certainty, that the dispatches by the Cambria, received by Mr. PAKENHAM, were not in the least in disapproval of his course. I can also state positively that the negotia tion has not been resumed." The argument for large constituencies is so suc cinctly and temperately put in the article " Go vernment," in Mr. KNIGHT'S " Political Dictionary," (now in course of publication), that we are glad to quote it in support of the views which we have lately been urging of further Parliamentary Reform ; and we will, at the same time, take the opportunity of saying that Mr. KNIGHT'S publication ought to be in the hands of every elector. " First, the greater is the number of those who have a share in the Govern ment, the greater is the probability of the general interest being regarded; for the more widely are the powers of Government distributed, the less division there will be in the community, and consequently the less will particular interests appear ; and further, there is a greater probability, in an extensive distri bution of political power, that all the disturbing effects of particular interests will neutralise one an other, and merge in the pursuit of the general interest, Secondly, the more political power is extended, the more widely will the improvement to be derived from its exercise be diffused." These are the two great arguments for the exten sion of the franchise to large constituencies. The political franchise is one of the most effective edu• caters of the people ; and the more voters there are, the greater is the chance of a good choice—of " all the disturbing effects of particular interests neutralising one another." Those who wish to keep the power of the State in the hands of a few are always ready to spe.uk of the ignorance of the lower classes, as unfitting they. for the possession of the franchise. There are two Answers to this;--That some 9f the ignorance is itiONEY and COAlMEitcf AL N t -8 CITY, QUARTER TO 4, 16't! The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday we° rtiv 5,000 bales, including 400 American on speculation. were very steadily supported.
