SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• Many a man, like the fox in the fable, affects to lespise what he cannot obtain. There is a querulous ness about Mr. Walter's address which indicates with sufficient clearness that retirement from the political ,tape is not exactly a matter of choice with hitn. The Assigned reasons are either not relevant or not intelli gibly. The love of domestic comfort and of the per formance of neighbourly offices may be as strong in Mr. Walter as in most men, but we fear he deceives 'himself if he supposes that that is the primary motive of his retirement, and that the strength of that motive is not considerably enhanced by the weakness of his chances of being again returned for Berkshire, what ever might be his expenditure to retain his seat against a candidate who would support the new loor-l a ` v P . We speak from i n fo rma ti on on which we can rely when we state that many of ~..- Mr. Walter's constituents are much disgusted with the part that he has taken and that the Times has taken upon that question. Not a few '--, of them are members of Boards of Guardians, "r.,;,,- practically conversant with the . operation of the new law, and amongst its most zealous supporters. Of _ some of them we know that they by no means admire ~. him as a politician ; and that the labours for which he takes so much credit by no means seem to raise him in their estimation. In fact, his statements with •:. relation to the operation of the new law are so different ':: from what they know to be the truth, that they are determined to vote against him. It will have been ob f served, that before a Committee, consisting chiefly of Magistrates like himself, who allowed him so long as .'" he stayed to call witnesses from whatever part of the ' country he pleased, and showed themselves even dis posed to sympathise with his prejudices, and wil- ' ling to receive evidence of his selection, without waiting for any reply, he yet avoided calling wit • nesses from his own county, and carefully ab stained from impugning the administration of relief :n any of the unions which it comprehends, although ‘': he had personally examined several individuals, and had visited most of the workhouses. 'We are ..,. nformed by a correspondent from that county, that a ;'... few days ago several of Mr. 'Walter's friends went ' . Amongst his constituents to ascertain their feelings. ',.. We believe they were sent by Mr. Walter himself. Ile reports they received must have been such as to •-• Account for his silence on the administration of the law in his own county ; and we believe they would fully account for his retirement. The Board of Guardians of the Union of which he is an ex officio member sent in an address in favour of the system which he has opposed. We certainly think that the people of Berk shire, where the allowance system, the great evil which so much corrupted the labouring classes, had its origin, owe to the country some manifestation of zeal in its • extirpation—some acknowledgment to the authors of • their deliverance from the mischievous powers of the Justices, and the operatiOn of a system founded on . false and ruinous principles.—Morning Chronicle. • With a full and well-founded confidence in the 4eneral results of the forthcoming election, and in the „ventual triumph of the Constitution over all its foes, whether open or insidious, we never have attempted ~, .. '..0 disguise the plain truth—viz., that the battle can be von no otherwise than by the most strenuous and un -' tired exertions of every loyal and honest man in the , community—exertions of influence, of person, and of ' purse. People have got into a ridiculous habit of ex 0. a . ggerating the sums c o n t r ib u t e d b y t h e Conserva , tree party for the purp o se s o f e l ec ti on contests. ft is true, no doubt, that th ere h ave f rom t i me to time been subs cr ipti ons , l oca l, p art i a l, and mode rate in their amount.

To play i t we ll , and to gain a s i gna l tr i umph, requ i res b ut arrangement, a ,-; co-operati on , some resolution, much act i v i ty, an d , little money. The late decision of the Irish Judges has 0 placed th e 10/. franchise .n Ir e l a nd on such a footing,aml made the law so clear and unequivocal on that sub ject, that the merest si.npleton of au elector can no longer be embarrassed as to the validity or insufficiency 1 uf his qualification when called upon to explain it, nor can any Committee of the House of Commons, 91 nowever factious, audacious, or corrupt, dare at any *uture time to unsettle the solemn decision of the :. judges. What, then, was that decision? In sub ;: stance this—that, h owever a man's tenu re o f a p i ece ~ of land might b e c i rcumstanced, whatever rent he 1 " I, might pay, whether large or merely nominal, whether he occupied fifty acres or only five, his interest in the • land must be such, as in the opinion of sworn valua tors, or of a jury, a solvent tenant might, according ,1 .: to the stat e o f t h e mar k et, b e justified as a prudent • man in giving for it 101. per annum. Heretofore an O'Connell v o t e r, a l t h oug h h e held but five acres, n. any other small porti on o f l au d , and paid for , it a rent of 101. or 15/. p er annum , h a d b een used to satisfy his own conscience a n d th a t o f t h e regis tering barrister, by swearing th a t h e estimated 'phis nterest in the ground, subject as he was to that enormous rent, at 101. or more per annum. Now, it is jbvious to what numberless abuses and to what flagi .ious perjuries such a reconstruction of the law of qua .ification exposed the electoral system throughout Ire and. It is manifest that a bit of land not in itself North 20s. might in the shape of bribes for the vote of ,ts occupier produce to him more than 101. a year. It is equally undeniable that he (the occupier) might for various reasons, not of a nature to be made public, attach a greater value than 101. a-year to the result of An election, his vote on which depended on his posses ,ion of his " bit of a potato garden." Nor is it less :ertain that an unprincipled partisan, or if not wholly inprincipled, one who looked to priestly absolution Or such well-intentioned errors, would swear point )lank to a downright falsehood, and put deliberately a ictitious value on his premises, if he could thereby es tablish a right to swell the poll of an O'Connell candi late. All these abominations have now been swept away )3/ the decision of the Irish judges. The claim to be :ntered on the county registry must, if opposed, be letermined ,by judgments less partial than that of the :laimant himself ; and the consequence is, that about one half of the multitude which, though really to that !xtent composed of non-electors, have for the two last Parliaments constituted the sham majority by which he Irish tail were chosen, must henceforth, on petition to the :House of Commons in case of a disputed re .urn, he struck off the poll, and the candidate having n excess of genuine 101. voters must become the sit ing member. Well, then, how ought such a purifica 'on of the false muster-roll of lush counties to be , orked by the Conservatives of Ireland ? Clearly in the manner following. Since is is notorious, that of whole constituency of the kingdom, thus defined and ascertained by the judges to be men of some pecuniary independence, an immense majority are friends to their lawful Sovereign, to the constitutional monarchy, and to British connection, it is indispensable that an op portunity for the free and effective expression of such sentiments should be afforded in every part of Ireland ; and, therefore, that no county throughout the whole island should be left to the tender mercies of the priests and agitators without a bold and uncompro mising struggle. In the Protestant province of Ulster we are satisfied to let things take their natural course ; but in every other part of Ireland—Leinster, Munster, and Connaught, the centre, south, and western divi sions of the island—the Conservative aristocracy and gentry are insane if they leave one single county un contested. We speak on sound information, after calm reflection, with a competent knowledge of men and of localities before us ; and it is our firm persuasion, that if the Protestant and Roman Catholic Conservatives deem it worth while to rescue Ireland from O'Con nell, the prize is within reach of them, and this moment is the time. Let meetings of Conser vatives be held in every county of Ireland, having communication with a central Committee in Dublin, as a medium of communication, rather than a board assuming authority or direction. The central Com mittee and the county Committees may one and all be formed within a week from this very day. The choice of candidates and the summons to electors may, if the proper spirit be at work, hardly cause more de lay than the lighting of a signal fire. Conservative Ire land is already well organized for peaceful purposes, and its internal relations thoroughly understood, such a power can be put into immediate action. With regard to money, an average pittance of 4001. per county will amply suffice for the object aimed at, which is, to induce independent Conservative voters to attend the poll, at their own cost, and let the return be as ad verse as it will, to lay the grounds of a petition to Parliament. We repeat that the insignificant sum above mentioned of 400/. per county—nay, we know not whether more than half the sum would, in some cases be required—will, with certain collateral means, connected more with management than with money, effectually paralyze the monster of Popish agitation, and send back the tail between its master's legs, instead of making with it a foul and indecent exhibition on the benches of the House of Commons. There are no less than 21 Irish counties wherein this experiment might and ought to be made without an hour's hesitation, and in every one of which it would insure a certain portion of success. No matter under what auspices or in what spirit the return might be made, the majority of good votes capable of standing the tert of a petition would in so many instances be in favour of the loyal candidate as to yield the agitator but a melancholy prospect of finally earning for himself, at the hands of a corrupt Minister, the same amount of Irish patronage as the now undiminished list of his retainers has secured for him since Lord Melbourne came, in 1835, into office. We here subjoin a list of the counties. If the Noble men and Gentlemen of Ireland are serious and earnest in their wish to save themselves, and to perplex and harrass the public enemy, they will take the hints we offer them. If otherwise, they are self-doomed, and merit, not sympathy, but contempt. The truth would by our scheme of action be laid bare to the whole world, that not only are the projects of the Agitator lawless, but that the very majority which has been his instrument for promoting them is an illegal majority, elected by those who have usurped the franchise, and in defiance of those by whom alone it can he lawfully exercised. If, we repeat, the gentlemen of Ireland will not use their own arms for the protection of all that they pretend to prize, England must take care of herself, and no loneer calculate on them for sincere or useful allies. But we do hope for better things. The counties to be put in movement are as follows :—Carlow, Clai e, Cork, Dubin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, King's, County, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Queens County, Roscommon, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford. There are many of these which it is known will be carried, on the re turn itself, or, as surgeons say, " by the first inten tion ;" but in all there is the fairest probability on petition. There are constituents enough of the right sort to do the business ; there may be—we trust there is not—elsewhere a want of pluck. This opportunity lost, when will there be another ?—Tinies. Never was there an election which involved more deeply the destiny of Great Britain than that which is approaching involves it. By the result of the pending struggle the fate of the empire will be as much, if not more influenced than it was by that which preceded the passing of the Reform Act. That Act in itself was a decided recognition of a most important princi ple, but the practical benefits to be derived from that principle are still, in many respects, in abeyance, and the appeal which is now about to be made to the coun try must decide whether these benefits are to be inde finitely deferred, or at once brought into operation. We are aware that whatever may be the result of the elec tions, and whatever may be the success of party intrigues in and out of Parliament, there must be great and ex tensive concessions made to popular claims ; but if these concessions be made in a fraudulent spirit, or through an unwilling and hostile instrumentality, they may either be indirectly marred of their effect, or made sub servient to the attainment of public confidence by the undeserving, and the consolidation of a spurious reform party, composed of ail the Tories, and of all that is base amongst those calling themselves Liberals. It is a favourite practice with the Tories to amuse the nation with words, while they aim the most deadly blow at its rights and interests. Catholic emancipa tion was granted under a Tory Administration com posed of inen who had been its most inveterate op ponents. This Act, like the Reform Act, was in itself little else than the admission of a principle—a mere abstract proposition, unless followed up by some tangible sequences ; and, yet, when any measure in volving the practical adoption of its great principle-- civil and religious equality---be proposed to the Le gislature—the Irish Municipal Reform Bill for in stance—the men who were the fraudulent instruments of effecting a just Act, are they who most violently oppose its most obvious deductions. The old shib boleths of bigotry and intolerance—" Church in danger" and " no Popery," supposed to he laid for ever by the Catholic Relief Bill—are again revived in all their rabid animosity. It is true, the Duke of Wellington has recently discovered that the ad mission of Roman Catholics to the Corporations of Ireland is not, as his party has represented it, equi valent to the establishment of Popish ascendancy, and therefore his Grace is, as he states, willing that Mu nicipale Corporations should b e esta bli s h e d i n I re l an d on elective principle. We are gratified to per ceive his Grace —as on more than one previous.occa sion has deemed it "exp edient" _ to do—acknowledging his erro r ; b ut this tardy acknowledgment is another proof of his incapacity as a Statesman ; for if it be i m ie e c a e s s u sa re r y nf to ß th ef e nrtn ac , co f m nr pl t i h sl e sm n e a n t t inno f to of lutionary ex c it ement , i n order to convince its enemies of what is necessary to its interests, there must be an betweent s t n h f e t h g e o e v n e t r n n m e d u n a i t n y d rn the g i n o t v e e r r m n i o n t a s b , 1 e a nd struggle all the remain unstable and insecure. Now, therefore, is the time for the nation to show its devotion to Liberal principles, and to secure the practical operation of those which have served as the basis of the present Ministry, and to which her most gracious and beloved Majesty has most patriotically pledged herself.-- Morning Advertiser. The Whigs are crafty in their generation. If God and nature have denied them the talents necessary for governing with credit and honour a great empire, it cannot be disputed that they have an abundance of that low cunning which furnishes them with an inex haustible supply of dishonest expedients to advance their own fortunes under cover of a fraudulent patriot ism and a hypocritical liberality. Their newest and greatest expedient at the present time to enable them to retain power by obtaining a majority at the ensuing general election, is to describe all those who oppose the Ministers, with their Irish head and their Irish tail, as " opponents of the Queen." This expedient may appear to them to be monstrously clever, but to us it appears to be exceedingly absurd, and incapable of producing the effect of adroit deception upon any reasonable mind, If the Queen be really the friend and patroness of destructives, who view with malignant feelings all the institutions of the Monarchy—if her Majesty be really disposed to assist such persons in accomplishing the destruction of those institutions which they hate, and thereby removing the bulwarks of the Throne it self— if she wishes the most venerated establishments of the country to be broken down by the political Vandals who long to deprive the Crown of its most precious jewels, and to lay the altars of the national religion in the dust—then, indeed, it may with truth be said that the opponents of the Melbourne-O'Con nell Administration, and its projects, are the " op ponents of the Queen." If, on the other hand, Victoria has uttered the words of sincerity when she expressed her determination to uphold the Pro testant reformed religion, as by law established — if she meant not to deceive when she declared that she had had been brought up to love and respect the Constitution, under which name are included all those venerable establishments that the 'Whig-radical faction would destroy, then indeed it may with truth be said that the opponents of the Melbourne-O'Con nell Administration are the loyal subjects—the zealous supporters of the Queen. Their triumph at the next election will be her triumph. It will overthrow the faction that would erect a democratic tyranny over the Crown and the people. Let, then, the Conservatives come forward boldly and energetically on behalf of the Queen and the Constitution. Let them rally round the banner of the constitutional monarchy, with which the interests of the Queen, as well as the liberties of the people, are identified. On their exertions, under Providence, now depend the stability of the British throne, the ancient rights and freedom of the British people, and the glory and prosperity of this great empire.—Morning Herald. We yesterday urged upon the attention of Conser vatives that in the contests for the representation of the people which may take place at the approaching general election there is not for them, within the boun daries of Great Britain, any such thing as a forlorn hope. There is not, we now repeat, a single county, city, or borough, in which they may not make exer tions with a reasonable probability of success. We pass by the counties, cities, and boroughs which are already secured to the Conservative cause ; for such places there are candidates enough and to spare, and happily the number of such places is sufficient to make it already quite certain that in the next House of Commons the Conservatives will be a more power ful phalanx than they were in the last. Our cham pions must come into action where the contest seems doubtful ; and we can assure them that there are very few counties, cities, or boroughs in Great Britain in which, after their first appear ance, it will seem doubtful any longer. We are hear ing every day of places in which a few weeks ago no body imagined that the present Radical representatives could be disturbed, and in which nevertheless the re turn of one, if not two, Conservative candidates is now certain. There is East Worcestershire, for instance. Some time ago a few excellent and very sober minded men, with whom we are acquainted, under took the task of going through the representation of the United Kingdom, for the purpose of ascertain ing, from the best information they could collect, what would be the chance of gain or loss to the Conserva tive party in the event of a new election. Of the ge neral result of their labour we need only say that it was, as indeed it could not fail to be, favour able to the Conservative cause. Yet these men, actuated by an earliest desire to arrive at the truth, or to reach it as nearly as possible, left East Worcestershire on the black side of their balance sheet, as a part of the representative power of Great Britain in respect to which no hope could reasonably be entertained of tffccting any favour able change. And what is the position of that impor tant district at the present moment ? The present Whig-Radical Members are gone ; and two excellent Conservative Members are certain of being substituted for them. Of the success of Mr. St. Paul and Mr. Burnaby there is now, we understand, not the least doubt. To this result one of the present Members has no doubt contributed very powerfully by his own conduct. We allude to Mr. Holland. He obtained Ike suffrages of the constituency under the mask of a Conservative Whig, and was no sooner seated than he became a rank Radical and Revolutionist. S 3 far (lid his insane Radicalism carry him, that in a speech made in the county he directed the brand of the incendiary to the rickyard of the farmer, as a means by which the poor might fairly seek ven geance and redress for the injuries which he told them they suffered. This speech, combined with the extreme opinions which he expressed upon all occa sions, has cost him his seat. He had seen the Minis ters of the King coalesce with Mr. O'Connell, and this was, in his weak judgment, a signal that he could not he too much of an incendiary, if he meant to be in unison s‘ith the spirit of the age. The electors of East Worcestershire are about to teach him—as the electors of Great Britain in general are about to teach the Ad ministration which he too slavishly followed—that this spirit is none of theirs. They abhor incendiaries ; they abhor O'Connell ; if they do not abhor the Ministers of the Crown in their bosoms, for the alliances they have formed, the principles they have inculcated, the examples they have set, it is only because they despise them too much to leave any room for abhor rence. The other Member for East Worcestershire is less odious to the honest and intelligent electors of that division of the county than his half American and ultra-Radical colleague. But, nevertheless, in all justice he onght to share the fate of his colleague; and assuredly he will share it, for he has not withheld his sanction from the conduct and language of that colleague, but, solai:iikbe - dared, has imitated both. We notice the above instance as one out of many which might be adduced, to show that, even where hope of success has heretofore been least entertained, no effort should be omitted. We believe that there are many Whig-Radical Members in the present House of Commons who have as repeatedly and se riously, if not so outrageously, as Mr. Holland, of fended the judgment, the feelings, and the conscience of all the respectable portion of their constituents. Mr. Holland and his Whig colleague will, we are informed by good authority, be beaten at the ap proaching election by a majority ten times as large as that which, at the last election, gave them their seats. —Morning Post.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.--A Contemporary's Cor respondent furnishes the following account :—" It is an an cient custom, the origin and meaning of which au unknown, for the Catholic peasantry in Ireland to light fires' on the eve of St. John, and in some places on that of St.. Peter likewise, and to dance around them. On the night of last Wednesday, being the eve of the latter festival, t num ber of young persons, not exceeding twelve, were seated near a bonfire on the mountain of Mullyash, in the county of Monaghan, laughing and conversing together after the toil of the day. The greater number of the present were children. Some men approached, but not close enough to be distinguished ; and having surveyed the merry group for some minutes from a higher part of the mountain, poured a murderous volley in upon them. Two lads, Michael and Peter Devine, of the respective ages of twenty and ten, Were shot dead, and two others, their brothers, aged fourteen and fifteen, wounded, one of them dangerously. The assassins then disappeared ; as yet the guilt of this most devilish deed has not been traced to any one. The master of an Orange Lodge and his servant are in custody on suspicion. In the house of the former two stands of arms and a dagger were discovered, which were in his possession without being registered. This circum stance, unless corroborated by proofs more distinct and rela tive, signifies little in a country where all the Orangemen are armed, unauthorised, and in defiance of the law, having, in. deed, been exhorted by their superiors to provide them selves universally with weapons of offence.

PUBLIC OPENING OF THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. This railway, which unites the town of Birmingham with Manchester and Liverpool, and which, in conjunction with the Birmingham railway, will eventually form a direct railway communication with London, was yesterday opened for the con veyance of passengers. The railway is 84 miles in length. It commences in Curzon-street, Birmingham, at the station ad joining that of the London and Birmingham railway, and passes by or near Wednesbury, Walsall, Dudley, Bilston, Wolverhampton, Penkridge, Stafford, Stone, Eccleshall, New castle, the Potteries, Nantwich, Sandbach, Middlewick, &c., to Warrington, terminating at Newton, on the Liverpool and Manchester railway, by which it communicates with Liverpool and Manchester. The distance from Birmingham to those places is 97i miles. The railway was sufficiently finished by the Ist of June, to eneble the Directors to make their first experimental trip ; and accordingly a party consisting of H. Earle, Esq., J. Ewart, Esq., J. Hornby, Esq., N. Roskell, Esq., N. D. Bold, Esq., the Directors ; Mr. Chorley, the Treasurer, W. Earle, Esq., Mayor of Liverpool, L. Heyworth, Esq., G. Lawrence, Esq., D. Neilson, Esq., N. Roskell, sen., Esq., Rev. Mr. Ewart, Rev. Mr. Hurnby, E. D. Falkner, Esq., and several other gentlemen started from Liverpool at eight o'clock in the morning. As a matter of course, there were a number of stoppages on the road ; but the actual time taken up in the journey from Liverpool to Wolverhampton was only throe hours and a half. The distance is 83k miles. Several other excursions have since been made, and the Directors seemed determined, by the hazard of their own persons, as far as possible to remove any apprehension of danger. On Sa turday a large party went from Liverpool to Birmingham, re turning on Sunday, and another party made a similar trip on, Monday. The carriages are superb; everything in the shape of elegance is to be found in those belonging to the first class. The second class carriages are of a similar conartuction, and wholly enclosed ; the only distinction being, that the second class carriages are without linings. The first class carriages are painted chocolate, and on the pannels are emblazoned the arms of the three towns which the railway is intended to unite. The ordinary carriages carry eighteen passengers. The mail coaches have accommodation for four passengers in each copartment ; and a bed is provided for those who choose to bear the extra charge—a sovereign— for that addition to railway travelling. Each train is accompanied by a conductor, who is responsible for all the fares taken on the road, and two guards. The first-named officer sits inside the front carriage of the train ; the others ride outside. The arrangements at the station in Lime-street were of the same nature as those so successfully adopted by the Manchester and Liverpool company. Each seat had its par ticular number, which was occupied by the passengers in the order in which their places were taken. At half-past six o'clock the first train was fairly under weigh. By some strange oversight no lamps were provided, and the passage through the tunnel running under the town of Liverpool—a distance of a mile and a quarter, was done in total darkness ; it was only a suspense of four minutes, and the passengers were enlivened on their way by the cheers of some of the workmen who had been suffered, rather incautiously, to hang on the steps of the carriages. A loss of ten minutes occurred at the top of the tunnel owing to several gentlemen there join. ing the train. At a quarter to seven o'clock, the " Dr. Dal ton" engine, built by Messrs. Sharpe, Roberts, and Co., of Manchester, took the train in tow. In less than 20 minutes the train, without the assistance of any extra engine, was at the top of the Rainhill inclined plane, distant nine Tiles from Liverpool. The three miles level and the Rainhill descent was performed with unusual rapidity. In 28 minutes from leaving the Edge-hill station, the train had reached the end of the Liverpool line at the Newton junction—the distance per formed in that short space of time being 141 miles. The Manchester train of three carriages fell in behind it, having arrived at the junction almost at the same moment as the train from Liverpool. From this point a rather more modulated scale of travelling was adopted, for caution sake. But, notwithstanding, the trains arrived at the first stopping place, Warrington, distant 9i miles, at 25 minutes past seven, the precise time laid down in the programme issued by the Directors. Here the two trains were attached, and, on again starting, were propelled by one engine only—the Dr. Dalton. Owing to the Manchester engine having to be detached from that train, some five minutes were lost in the operation. On leaving Warrington, a most delightful line of country was presented to the eye, while to the engineer the works forming the railway itself were an object of admiration. The bridge of the river Mersey, and embankments on either side, was the first object that attracted attention. The railway next passes through some deep cuttings on an ascent to Preston Brook. The cutting then becomes deeper, owing to the line of running under the Duke of Bridgewater's canal. The view from the viaduct over the Weare is beautiful. The viaduct itself consists of 20 arches, and is one of the finest erections of that kind extant. When viewed from the coach road to Northwich, it calls forth the admiration of all beholders. Pass ing the scat of the late Mr. Green, the line proceeds under Hodge-lane to Hartford. The workmen on the way were crowded by labourers, who displayed various flags, and loudly cheered the train on its passing. It arrived at the second stop ping place, Hartford, at five minutes past eight o'clock, the distance performed by that time being 31 : 1 miles. There is a handsome bridge at this station, and the cutting is about 33 feet deep. The stoppage here occupied three minutes. The road on either side of the Hartford Bridge is on the descent. At the end of the cutting, Vale Royal, one of the prettiest valleys in England, suddenly bursts on the eye. Lord Dela mere's mansion is about three-quarters of a mile distant from the road, and the line passes through a considerable por tion of that Noble Lord's estate. The railroad then proceeds through the rural districts of Cheshire, and to the passenger there is little to call forth attention until it reaches the level leading into Crewe, which is 11 miles in length. The first por tion of this stage was performed rather slowly, owing to the stiffness of the rails, and the steam having been reduced by taking in water. The train reached Crewe at three minutes to nine o'clock, and was received with a hearty welcome by a large concourse of spectators collected together upon the occasion. There were several parties in carriages front Macclesfield, Congleton, Sandbach, and the neighbourhood. Crewe is 43+ miles distant from Liverpool; it is the third station on the line. The train left there at five minutes past nine o'clock, about half an hour beyond the time fixed. There is a shed built for an extra engine, to assist in propelling the train up the Madelay inclined plane. As yet no engine is assigned to that duty. The rise at the summit is 1 in 180. At half past nine o'clock the train passed the station-house. The down train was met at Whitmore Heath, fifty-four miles and a quarter from Liverpool. A few minutes afterwards, accord tug to Birmingham time, it reached there at the half-hour exactly. It ought to have arrived at 55 minutes past eight o'clock, so that the Birmingham as well as the Liverpool train were about half an hour behind the proper time. The Bir mingham train carried the London mail of the previous even ing. The apparatus for supplying the engine with water was in an unfinished state, and considerable delay was thereby oc casioned. It left Whitmore at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock. We ought not to omit to mention the Madeley plane was ascended pith great facility. The descent from Whitmore was per formed with astonishing velocity, so much so as to render writ ing this account of the opening of the railroad in the car riage, as it proceeded, an exceedingly toilsome duty. The 1 mile from the 58-mile stone, or rather board, was done in 2 minutes—so much for railway travelling. At the Penkridge station we met the mixed train, which left Birmingham at half-past eight o'clock. It had taken its de parture from the station house at half-past ten, having done the twenty-four miles in two hours. The Wolverhampton station is about a mile distant from the town ; an immense crowd was here collected to meet the train, which arrived there at five minutes to eleven o'clock. A number of men were employed in keeping the populace off the rails, so as to avoid the occurrence of any accident. After taking in coke and water the train started again. After pass ing through a short tunnel we entered a deep cutting, the banks on both sides of which were quite covered with spectators. Proceeding onwards down a slight declivity, the crowd was so dense as to occasion the road-men some difficulty in clearing a passage for the train. The shrill and peculiar whistle of the engine gave full and satisfactory warning to the populace. Some, however, more daring than others, continued to stand in the centre of the rails until a second or two before the train passed along. The several bridges passing over the railroad each accommodated its hundreds of human beings. From Wolver hampton to Birmingham a general helyday appeared to be observed, and the scene was highly interesting both to the observed and the observers. Tents were pitched in several fields, and parties given by the respective tenants in honour of the day. The weather was extremely beautiful, and the freedom from dust which exists on railways is another ' interesting feature connected with that branch of mechanics. The Newton-road station was passed at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, and the train again entered on some deep cut tings, extending about half a mile in length. Between this and Birmingham we passed another train. The Liverpool train was at the moment proceeding with great rapidity—in deed that observation applies generally to the whole distance on the Birmingham aide of Crewe. At half-past 11 o'clock the train arrived at its destination all safe, and without an accident. MAILS BY THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Ellingworth, bookseller, York COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held. It was moved and agreed to, that the Deputation to wait upon the Queen Dowager with the address of condolence on his late Majesty's death, should consist of Aldermen Sir C. S. Hunter and Scholey, the mover and seconder ; and Aldermen Wood, Lucas, - and Sir Peter Laurie. A written representation from the Sheriffs was handed into the Court, stating that a great deal of inconvenience had resulted from the negligence of the officer whose duty it was to intimate to them the proper costume in which it was necessary for them to appear upon the various occasions on which they were called upon to perform public services. The paper was referred to a Committee. THE NEW SHERIFFS. George Carroll and Moses Montefiore, Esqrs., the newly-appointed Sheriffs, were introduced to the Court by the Governor of the Bank of England, and entered into securities to perform the offices of Sheriffs of London and Kddlesex for the ensuing year. THE RECORDER ' S REPORT. The Remembrancer communicated to the Court the in formation that Lord John Russell had brought into Par liament a Bill to supersede the practice of the Recorder making reports to the Sovereign of convicts under sentence of death. Alderman FAREBROTHER considered the Bill a direct infringement of the prerogative, and also in violation of the privileges of the citizens of London, who had, time imme moral, sent their Recorder to the Sovereign to receive the Royal commands as to the disposal of prisoners capitally convicted in the metropolis. Sir PETER LAURIE looked upon the measure in quite a different light. Alderman FAREBROTHER said that those might object to the existing practice of waiting for the Recorder's report who were in a hurry to be hanged.—(A l aug h.) Sir PETER LAURIE said that the subject had been pri vately discussed in the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, and it was determined in both Courts that they would not interfere with the question. The fact was, the attendance of the Recorder upon the Sovereign to report prisoners under sentence of death was not a privilege of the citizens of London. If the Sovereign was at Brighton, the people of Sussex would (as we understood Sir P. Laurie) be entitled to the privilege. Alderman PAREBROTHER denied that the privilege ex isted anywhere else, and referred to all practice as evidence of what lie stated. Aldermen SCHOLEY and HummiEgY also denied that the privilege was shared by any county, city, or corporation, and the conversation dropped.—Adjourned. A new l will speedily of hr Majestyb Qu f e r e o n m y t i h c t e o Mint with coinage wi the likeness impressed ria. A correspondent on hearing that her Majesty has it in contemplation to institute particular new orders of merit, suggestQ, that as so much has been done in these respects for the Army and Navy in former reigns, the Queen would keep in view the merits of Literary men, and establish an order for the deserving, as he finds is the case in foreign lands. The funeral of his Majesty George 111. took place in January during very inclement weather, which caused se veral persons who attended the ceremony to take cold, some of whom died in consequence thereof. Lord Eldon, on this occasion, finding the cold so very severe, stuod on his hat, and by this means fortified himself against any ill effects by the precaution. The Radical Association of Edinburgh met on Thursday, and resolved unanimously to address her Majesty, praying her to call Lord Durham immediately to her councils, and, among the foremost acts of her reign, to sanction the repeal of the corn laws. Au address to Lord Durham, con rri atulstin7 h's Lordship on his return, was also aareed to. 4! Od 38. 11 , 1 re bold. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZEVrE. KENSINGTON-PALACE, JUNE 30, 1837. The Right Hon.

The Noble Earl gave a rustic fete in the Park to his numerous tenantry and labourers, to celebrate his birth-day. Twenty-six sheep were slaughtered, and one bullock, on the occasion. An Englishman, residing at Frankfort, lately made a bet of 150 ducats with a rich Jew that he would sit on horse back for eight successive days and nights without once alight ing. He gained his wager as well as several others, which he made while on horseback with the bystanders. The Jew, who himself was present to watch his adversary, was more fatigued than the other. MR.
