This Company is established to introduce Railways into Upper India. The First Section, about 130 miles in length, commencing at Allahabad, at the confluence of the Ganges and Jumna, will terminate at Cawnpore. The future Sections will carry on the Line to Agra, Delhi, Lahore, and the Indus. Allahabad is an ancient and populous city, of great fame and im portance in the East. Crowds of Pilgrims resort to its sacred shrines and temples—it is the entrepot for the traffic by the Steamers and the larger Country Craft—and is one of the principal Civil and Military Stations. Cawnpore is the largest Military Station in India. There is, both by Steamers and Country Craft, a continucusqier manent water communication between. Calcutta and Allahabad. The yearly tonnage of the Lower Ganges is 1,500,000, by the Country Craft alone. The number of Passengers Is also very great. Deep water ceases at Allahatosuliimcl,causivavgly, g is at this important city that the real difficulty :and expenS'e - lif trafisit banks of the Upper Ganges, and the sharp ledges of rock of the Jumna, rendering the navigation by even the smaller Country Craft slow and precarious. • " I 1! - . The insurance of merchandise and property from Agra to Allaba bad by the river route, in consequence of the danger and diffLulty of the navigation, is as high as from Calcutta to Eugland, the distance in the one case being 300, iv the latter 15.000 miles. Above Allababad, notwithstanding the detective river navigation, and the rude and expensive land carriage, which costs from 4d. to Bd, per ton per mile, moving at the slow rate of ten miles in twenty four hours, there is an officially ascertained traffic of above 1,000,000 tons, and a land passenger traffic by various conveyances exceeding 100,000 pe- annum, besides passengers by boats, and abuut 300,000 travellers on fstot. It is intended that the management of the company's affairs shall he vested in a London Board, and that the Branch Establishments in the colonies shall be conducted by properly qualified managers, assisted by Local Boards. The selection of a Colonial Inspector will receive the most careful att,ntion of the Directors. The intercourse between Great Britain and Australia has now be come certain and regular, by the establishment of direct steam com munication with that country, and the [Armors in London will thus be enabled to exercise an efficient control over the lo ca l managers of the branches to be established in Australia. The high ra' e of interest obtainable in Australia for advances on good security, promises a profitable employment for the capital of the Company whilst the impulse given to commercial undertakings by the recent gold discoveries, will secure an ampl e return upon the L va o r c i a e l u E s s b t r a a b n l c is h h e in s e o n f ts b r iness to be carried on by the Company at its The great field open for this Company's operations may be under stood from the fact, that there are only two establishments in England at present employed in conducting banking affairs with the important colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, and these are eminently successful, and are realising large profits for the share holders. It appears from the last printed half-yearly report of the Bank of New South Wales, dated 21st April, 1852, that the following results have been realised by that well-conducted establishment. 7he Directors state that the profit and loss account will enable them to declare, not only the usual dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, but an extra dividendh,avtethaenarahteavoef lcOarpreierdcetnhte. for the half year, to be applied in aid of the extensi on of the capital. In addition to the above the .Directors state th a t they have set apart 5,000/. to defray the cost of freight and ins urance on the ship- Passed 2,495/.

The Directors allude to the unparalleled circ umstances in which the Branch Bank, at Melbourne, has been placed by the gold dis coveries in the sister colony, and they recommend the creation of 2,500 new shares, of 201. each, for the increase of their capital. They add that their stock of coin (notwithstanding the great extension of their exchange business, involving a considerable accumulation of funds in England), amounted to the large sum of 23 0,470/. 12s. 6d., being more than one-fourth of the whole amount h e ld i n the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria. The Directors st ate i n the report Pof a quarter of r i mmediate control, i h that having in view the great change in their fina nc i al affairs then d s i h z t tt y pbrne i t eß a na p ti p itk e o ar sw e y d idtbu to ieey impose wards eui upon them of bring a million sterling from this country. nn ge progress, had °llr he resourcesesosrde and r ordered d the the of Having a great and navigab'e river connecting Calcutta and Alla kiabad, a Railroad would, by beginning at the latter city, and pro ceeding by Agra and Delhi to Lahore, establish a steam conamunica ton from Calcutta through the lertile and populous Dooab in the North-West Provinces, `• oecupying the great line of Indian traffic with Central and Upper As a." This is the great line of Military as well as Commercial intercourse, more than three-fourths of the Bengat Army being cantoned above Allahabad, and almost all emer gem. movements of troops and stores taking place to the north-west, or in advance of that town. _ _ One of the Directors of this Company, so far back as 1846, in a work of his on Indian Railways,* stated that he had seen " no large portion of territory present the like facilities for the introduction of a Railway, as from Allahabad to Delhi." " This line would have no rival, for the river Steamers; instead of competing with it, would form a powerful basis, and keep up a con tinuous communication between the Railway and Calcutta, and our great Military Stations and Magazines at Allahabad, Cawn pore, Agra, and Delhi, would all be in close communication with each other, and, by means of the steamers, have a free and rapid access to Calcutta." Subsequently, the Indian Railway Commission confirmed, from actual survey, the accuracy of this opinion ; and still more recently, Major J. P. Kennedy, late Director of the Railway Department to the Government of India, in his report to the Marquis of Dalhousie, Governor-General, expressed himself as follows :—" Between Alla habad and Delhi there is no engineering question of difficulty what ever, as the beautiful flat bed (extending for several hundred miles in the direction of the Line, in the Dooab between the rivers Ganges and Jumna), with its numerous commercial towns, offers, perhaps, the most singularly inviting district for laying down a railway that can be found in the world ; free as it is from inundation, from hills, from river-crossings, and road-crossings, in short, from any impedi ment, and a'most every ordinary source of expenditure in railway construction." Slight as the while amount of labour is that would be required to carry a single line of railroad from Allahabad to Lahore and the Indus, it is the intention of this Company to proceed in a gra dual manner, opening short sections, having an important town at either terminus. The route consists of component parts, each complete in itself, pos sessing a local as well as a thorough traffic. The present capital of the Company has been fixed at a sum which will leave a sufficient margin for future contingencies, and the capi tal for future sections will be raised from time to time as may be necessary. From the paramount importance of this Railway to the good government and prosperity of India, the Directors have every hope of obtaining from the Hon. East India Company the same terms and conditions as have been already accorded to similar undertakings, the existing traffic securing a return on the capital invested far be yond the amount of any guarantee that could be required. The Directors are hereby empowered to treat for and make such arrangements with the Court of Directors and the Board of Control as to them may seem beneficial to the Company, as well for securing a guaranteed divioend from the East India Company, as in regard to territorial concessions. Application has been made fora Royal Charter of Incorporation to limit the liability of the Shareholders in the English, Scottish, and ustralian Chartered Bank, and the operations of the Company will be commenced immediately on the charter being obtained. If the charter he not granted, the deposits will be r eturned to the sub scril)ers in full. _ Power will be taken by the deed of settlement to be executed in compliance with the terms of the charter to increase the capital of the Company to 1,000.000/. ; and, if the capital be increased, the new shares to bit created will be offered, in the first instance, to the existing Shareholders, and to such influential parties in the colonies as may be likely to extend the business of the Bank. It is considered that the deposit of 41. per share will enable the Directors to commence operations in an efficient manner, and on a scale commensurate with the importance of the undertaking. An interval of at least three months will intervene between all future calls, none of which, it is exp cted, will exceed 21. per share. Application for Shares may be made, in the form annexed, to the Secretary (pro tem.), at No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-street, London ; to Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Son, 39, Lothbury ; to Messrs. Sheppard and Sons, No. 28, Threadneedle-street, London; or to Messrs. Allan and Dunlop, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh. The Deposit to be paid on the allotment of Shares will be Two Shillings per Share, being after the rate of Ten Shillings per cent., the amount prescribed by the Act 7 and 8 Vict., c. 110. A Deei embodying the Provisions required by that Act, and such as the Directors may consider proper for the regulation of the Com pany, and for carrying out the objects in ♦iew, will be prepared ; and if any Shareholder should fail to execute the same for One Month after the publication of a notice in the " Times" newspaper, calling on the Proprietors so to do, his Shares, with the Deposits paid thereon, will become forfeited to the use of the Compnny. Application will be made for a Charter of Incorporation or an Act of Parliament, limiting the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their Subscriptions.

The work of reconstructing the Great Exhibition building at Sydenham is now being pushed forward with great vigour, and that spectacle of well-ap plied labour which in Hyde -park excited such un qualified admiration is about to be successfully repeated. Alreedy the site has been cleared, the foundations to a great extent prepared, a vast mass of materials collected on the ground, and even the plan of the surrounding gardens and their embels lishments roughly struck out. Great as was the speed with which the cld building was reared, there is every reason to believe that in this respect the new will rival, if it does not eclipse it. The credit of the nation for punctuality no longer acts as a sti mulus on the contractors, but they will, no d ou bt, show th emse l ves m e n of ;heir word, and they have not only the experience of the previous undertaking to aid them, but they work to a great extent with the same hands, the same materials, and the same proportions. The very bell that summoned the l a b ourers to the i r wor k—th e crane that that tested th e girders in Hyde-park, are again at their former use. Huge piles of materials, arranged so as to he most available, are stacked in order along the "ground. There are long columns, reviving, by the paint tions oiOw en ntuprows of prostrateon them, recollec oscolouring. The doors through which so vast a tide of are deposited in a heap humanity swept last summer onesees above the other, ready for fresh service. One girders, and other window-frames, panelling, mountains of sasbbars, x-° a n terials, all bearing gutters, railings, , rn the traces of their late use, and apparently teriorated in condition ° purpose, and a s ia t cl ow th ed e destroyedtbreeremarkably f reby. There is immense.. accumulatio n away in a shed erected for the in the p rr e a r o c s e f n e t r ag fr e om of tilhaytdeb_ park kle ism atsearidialti permanent small. In laying the foundations character of the new structure is shopwronobry. increased size of them, but the old the and the rule of having everything a multiple of 24 are preserved. It is this principle which renders the details of construction in such undertakings so simple and economical, and which now, fully recog nized as it is, promises to yield the grandest results to the science of architecture. While the actual site of the palace has thus been cleared and prepared for the superstructure, and while vast accumulations of materials have been made, the working drawings have also been completed, or nearly so, and a few days snore will show the whole design growing to reality, with a speed and certainty which the mechanical re sources of this country alone render practicable. It is a gratifying feature of the new undertaking that the more immediate direction of the work is confided to Mr. Henderson, whose ill health was so severely felt by the firm of which he is a member during the struggle to be ready for the opening of the Exhibi tion. Mr. Henderson's great energy and practical skill admirably qualify him for the task on which he has entered, and he has in Mr. Cochrane, who occupied the same position in Hyde-park, a most effective foreman. Of the building which they are about to raise, the main features are sufficiently well known to justify a natural anxiety in the public mind for its successful compietion. There cannot be a doubt that the new Crystal Palace will be a far more splendid edifice than the old, though the wonder which the novelty of the latter inspired may somewhat blunt our appreciation. The site is magnificent, and commands a glorious pro spect, in which London, with her far extending suburbs and her population of 2,000,000, forms but a section of the view. Looking south-east even now, the eye is carried over a smiling and variegated land scape without obstruction, as tar as its powers can reach; but no conception can at present be formed of the circuit visible from an additional elevation of 200 feet, and embracing within its ample verge, not only the panorama of the metropolis, and the course of our greatest river to the sea, but the Surrey hills, abound ing in natural beauty, and the rich lands of Kent, the garden of England. Then it must be remembered that the Palace itself will be not the least remark able feature of the scene, shining on its elevated site, and made resplendent by having the sky as its background. Crowning the ridge, it will be conspicuous for many a mile, its towers, arched transepts, and nave, finely breaking up and diver sifying its enormous dimensions. The monotonous effect of the old building will be completely re moved, and it will rise into the air a noble temple, dedicated to the innocent recreation of the people. Tae grounds of Penge- park, which it immediately overlooks, are nicely undulated, and the frontage, which has a south-eastern exposure from the way in which the land drops, will be elevated and command ing. An open colonnade on this side will run along the whole length of the structure, and the arches of the three transepts, recessed to a depth of 24 feet, will, from their great height and the effect of shadow, be , singularly imposing. That in the centre will be 200 feet high, and it has just been proposed by Mr. Barry , to surmount the whole with three vast domes, the loftiest rhino- 400 feet from the base. The work of , decoration has been commenced externally, the main avenue, the spaces for some of the fountains, and the line of terrace s being roughly indicated. The genius of Paxem will soon bring this part of the undertaking into shape and consistency. Penge park is remarkably well adapted for the operations contemplated, and there are some fine specimens of timber already on the ground, which will no doubt be turned to good and telling account. Among the more striking features of this portion of the works is a lofty tower with a tank at the top 50 feet 'quare, which it is proposed to construct for the supply of the fountains, and which is to be so ar ranged that it can itself be converted into an immense cascade. Of the internal decorations and other points comprised in the company's scheme it would be pre mature yet to say much, for, though the plans con nected with them nave been so far matured, they will probably undergo e x tensive modifications, as circum stances may dictate. Each department has been en trusted to the ablest men that could be found to take charge of it, and they are all now busily engaged in forming their several collections. Owen Jones and Digby Wyatt are scouring the continent for the materials of artistic embellishment and decoration ; Professor Ansted is getting together a great series of geological illustrations ; the section of natural history is intrusted to the joint care of Professor Edward Forbes, Mr. Waterhouse, and Mr. Gould, assisted by Mr. Thompson, of King's College. Dr. Latham has undertaken the ethnological department, within a few and the winter garden is, of course, the special object of Sir Joseph Paxton's solicitude, who will, canardens of the doubt, do everything that a knight to bring lic! down into the 19sh century, and minutes' drive of London, the tabled The last accession Hesperides, without the dragon. made to the company 'e stiff, and valuable for them, body, is Mr. Belshaw, that most successful, active,a superintendent of the, wutki n since their commencaesmeantc7n details and obliging commer s cial perhapscun t r t y h . e most iie g of exhibitions will fill his old position in the New Crystal Palace, and exhibitors occu already coming his special care.

To have that patronage the charge ll tly ase - dB f o uu r r ns Theirt r a admission ib s ra i ein o ge n rhe must be easily within the means of those classes. Now, if the preliminary outlay is not very carefully guarded, this will he impossible. The humbler classes paid their shillings to see the Ex hibition, but that was once in a way, and because the glories of the spectacle were fleeting. The bare knowledge that a sight can be seen at any time tends greatly to disarm curiosity ; and the strict commercial character at the new undertaking dissolves a considerable amount of that popular sym pathy which was felt tor a common effort, in weich all made sacrifices to do homage to the dignity of labour. The Great Exhibition was self-supp ort i ng, but it was also, while it lasted, a great freewill offer ing. Some were paid, and rightly so, for what they did ; but the majority contributed their time, their skill, and their property gratuitously. Had it taken place under the Mundy contract one may fairly question whether the success achieved would have been nearly so brilliant, and, even as matters stand, with the great body of the work done by volun tary effort, and the whole world agog aboutthe splen dour of the spectacle, the surplus is only 150,000 1 .

IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES OFFERED TO ALL CLASSES.—LIFE ASSURANCE. At the pre,ent time, when so many newly-created Insurance Offices are advertising peculiar advantages, the importance of assuring in an office well established must be obvious ; and the Directors of the PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION feel con fidence in callin.c the attention of the public to their Institution, which was formed in 1840, under the patronage of the Bank of England and the principal merchants and bankers of London and the provinces, and which offers the following peculiar advantages :- 1. Being enrolled UNDER THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' ACTS, the suns assured can be secured to the WIDOW, WIDOWER, or CHILDREN without payment of PROBATE and LEGACY DUTY, or the risk of Joss by unfortunate circumstances, or the reverses of trade. 2. The mutual principle of assurance and division of profits every five 3 ears, assurers of three years participating. 3. An invested capital and a large annual income, offering a perfect guarantee. 4. Claims paid immediately under discount, and all policies indis putable, except iu case of absolute fraud. 5. Loans on the security of policies of assurance. _ . G.

By order of the Board, PHILIP HENRY BYRNE, Secretary. 42, Moorgate-street, Aug. 4, 1852. and V A --- C " The age of Chiva lr y is g on., and that of Economists Y' Ca i culators has succeeded." The glory of the age or chivalry con sisted in the attire of knight being suitable for his sporting or i military avocatims ; the age of ch iv a l, y is theref ore restored by the designs in costume, intr oduced and perfected by E. MOS ES and SON. Stylish fit, comfort in wear, novelty in materials, and splen dour in finish are some of the features of E. MOSES and SON'S Sporting Dress. As Economists, they have reduced the price to the most reasonable scale, and as Calculators, have attained the most desirable elevation from which they supply magnificent Dress to Ladies, Gentlemen, or Mechanics. Coats, light and waterproof, gems of modern art, useful but not cumbersome, agreeable wear in shower or sunsiine, these Coats are enclosed in a neat case, or may be put into the packet of an ordinary Dress Coat ; these are introductory to hundreds of new styles to be presented by E. MOSES and SON for Autumn WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE, AND WHO SHOULD OUTFIT? The capitalist, the industrious, the agriculturalist, the mechanic, in fact every man who deserves to participate in wealth and possess property, but labour must preceed enjoyment, the journey must go before the possession, and such articles as are needed for both are called an Outfit. E. MOSES and SON name a few of their qualifi cations, and let the Emigrant judge "who should Outfit." They have an immense wholesale department, where capitalists may make the most eligible investments, and where Goods suitable for Australia, or any other country may be procured at such prices as will afford the amplest prolt on every purchase. From this de partment families emigrating will derive the highest advantages. They keep a stock of Hosier y , Boots, and shoes, &c., for the " Diggings," and Dress of every description expressly prepared with the most accurate acquaintance with any voyage or climate, on this the Emigrant may implicitly depend. Many years experience in Outfitting on the largest scale has put them in possession of an exclusive power in procuring, manu f ac . facturing, and arranging Outfits, to which they appropriate a sepa rate department in their gigantic establishment, where every Emi grant at once fees the purposes they are intending to serve. " Who then can Outfit" like E. MOSES and SON. Fail Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of vessels and cost of pls,age may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. SPECIAL NOTICE, the Establishments will be closed on TUES DAY and WEDNESDAY next, September 14 and 15, resuming business on THURSDAY morning, September 16, at Seven o'clock. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being tonne ted with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN on OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Sstantisfanent, 154, 155, 156, sun It's, An:tortes, 83, 34, 85, and 58, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. The coroner's inquest concerning the frightful acci dent on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire R a ilway, terminated late on Saturday night, at which time the cause of the calamity remained as great a mys tery as at the commencement of the inquiry. The lead ing facts may be briefly recapitulated. Last Wednesday evening the Great Northern passenger train which leaves Sheffield at 9.10 P.N. ran off the line, at a place which is three-quarters of a mile short of Woodhouse junction, and better than four miles from Sheffield. The line curves at that point, and is upon a steep embankment upwards of thirty feet high. When running at about thirty miles an hour the train suddenly ran off the rails, and the engine, rushing across the down rails, sped vio lently down the embankment on the opposite side. The rest of the train (two passenger carriages, two goods vans, and a break) fell down the other embankment with a fearful crash. The passengers escaped unhurt, but the guard (Charles Tuckwood) was killed on the spot, and the engine-driver (Samuel Wright) died on the following day, after suffering the most frightful torture, his legs having been almost roasted off by the engine fire, the engine having fallen upon him. The coroner's inquest was opened on Friday, and was of more than ordinary interest, inasmuch as the cause of the accident was altogether unaccounted for. It was reported that the line was out of guage, but the evi dence given below sets that question at rest. The most important witness was William Leah, the stoker, who said that all went on right till he observed some sparks from the hindermost wheel on the right-hand side of the engine. The next moment the train was off the line. The road, he said, was very bad to travel over between Sheffield and Retford, so bad that it made the engine shake about terribly. The other evidence taken on Friday did not bear upon the cause of the accident. Oa Saturday the accident was resumed. Thomas Spriggs, a man who assisted after the acci dent, proved that the deceased engineedriver told him he was quite unable to account for the accident. Alfred Wheeler and Mark Briggs, two miners who live on the margin of the line, concurred in stating that the train in question travelled on the night of the acci dent much faster than they bad ever seen it. The next point of the inquiry was as to the state of the line and the engine before the accident. Edward Kemp, a Great Northern guard, accustomed to travel on this portion of the line, said he did not consider the line between Sheffield and Retford (a por tion of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line) in good order : at all events nut so good as the Great Northern line. The trains were accustomed to shake. A few hours before the accident, when accom panying the up-express train, his van shook, and on looking out of the window he saw that the inner rail was crooked. On being asked by the coroner why he did not report the circumstance, he said it did not strike him as sufficiently important. Mr. G. Tuckwood, brother of the deceased, repeated the statement which be made on Friday, to the effect that he had heard Kemp ascribe the accident to the line being out of geuge. Richard liPskeib, an engine -driver, in the employ of the Manchester, Shafiold. and Lincolnshire Railway, stated that he drove over the line two hours before the accident, and did not notice anything amiss with the rails or anything else. John Lyne, a plate-layer, said he examined that part of the line in question twice on Wednesday (the day of the accident), as usual, and found it in good running order. Mr. G. %nick, superintendent of the permanen t way, saw on Tuesday th at at t h at particular place the line was all right. After the accident he found that eighty yards of the up-rails bad been torn up, and thirty yards of the down line. Mr. Richard Peacock, locomotive superintendent on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, after stating that he made an inspection in order to find out the cause of the accident, said—There is nothing in the evidence I have heard and the examination I have made, to induce me to suppose that the accident was caused by an) improper condition of the line. If the rails had been beet, as stated by Kemp, it would not have caused the engine to run off the line; but I have no reason to suppose that the engine d►d run off from any defect in the read. From the appearance of the engine wheels, I think the hind pair of wheels got off the line first, but I don't know the cause. I think the axle of the trading-wheels of the engine (the hindermost wheels) was strained slightly, and that that caused the accident. The sparks spoken of by Leah might have been caused by the springing of the frame of the engine in passing round the curve, and thus bringing the wheels in con tact with a bolt bead, which ho perceived projecting from the side of the tank of the engine. It is not dan gerous to travel along that curve at thirty or forty miles an hour. Mr. Sturrock, locomotive engineer of the Great Nor thern, said--I cannot satisfy myself as to the cause of the accident; but I very much agree with Mr. Peacock, as far as I can form an opinion. After some unimportant evidence, The CORONER summed up, and the jury consulted with closed doors about twenty minutes. The Foreman then delivered the following verdict:— " We are unanimously of opinion that the deceased, Sa muel Wright and Charles Tuckwood, have come by their deaths in consequeneo. of No. 12 Great Northern train, with engine No. 29, running off the rails near Woodhouse Junction, on the night of the Bth inst.; but as to what caused the train to run off the rails uo satis factory evidence has been given to the jury." The inquest ended about eight o'clock P.M. THE IRON TRADE. On Wednesday last, at Wolverhampton, a partial meeting of the trade took place, consisting of those gen tlemen who were interested in the dispute between the refractory portion of peddlers and their employers, and such others who were accidentally present at the time. It appears that a willingness had been expressed by the paddlers to return to their work, if themasters would fix upon any limited period at which they would promise to advance the wages; while, on the other hand, the sup plying of those works with paddle-bars where the men were standing, from others where they continued to work, was found excessively inconvenient to both. A resolution was, therefore, passed, declaring a general advance of 20s. per ton on all finished iron, with a pro portionable per-tentage upon the wages of the workmen engaged in its manufacture, to take place from the let of October next; and it is hoped that these misguided men will now return quietly to their work. Their con duct has been highly censurable, not only as having in flicted wanton injury upon their respective employers, but seriously affecting the general interests of the trade by diverting orders to other districts. This resolution will, doubtless, be confirmed at the general meeting of the trade to be held on the 30th instant, although we are well aware that great anxiety is felt by some, whose opinions are worthy of much consideration, as to the effect that may result. There are, however, others suf. ficiently sanguine to look forward to such a revival as will call for still further advances, and certainly a very considerable speculative demand seems to be already opening up, and business has been freely transacted at the advanced rates.—Birmingham Gazette. THE LASTING TlE.—D?an Storr, when residing on a living in the country, had occasion one day to unite a rustic couple in the Wilds of matrimony. The ceremony being over, the husband began to " sink in resolution," and falling (as some husbands might do), into a fit of repentance, he said, " Your reverence has tied the knot tightly, I fancy, but, under favour, may I ask your reverenc e if so be you could untie it again ?" " Why , no," rep li e d the Dean, "we never do that on this part of the consecrated ground." " Where then ?" cried the man, eagerly. "On that !" point ing to the burying ground. A wild girl, says the Cincinnati Commercial, wa s captured last week in the woods back of Columbia. She Was first observed climbing trees with a rapidity on l y equalled by a monkey. Captain M'Cullough, with a large party , went out to capture this singular being, an d after great trouble succeeded in doing so, when they learned from her incoherent expressions that she had been a lunatic in the asylum at Columbus, whence she escaped some months since, and had lived in the woods, subsisting upon nuts and roost rime. f 9 1114, ayy rime; 9 1 4 94 10 11► 6,fi ~' / L 12)1(41t alw ays set to work extraw(ranily ; and, while they carry out what they engage to do in first. ree style, they overlay it with au expense which long impedes the public benefit to be derived from it. The Royal Commission, on the contrary, as trustees of the funds collected tor the Exhibition, did not scruple to screw ever 3 thing down as tightly as possible; and they had in the acting tn , -m hers of their Executive two men singularly well qualified to control the extrava gance of the accomplished artists and clever projec tors by whom they were surrounded. For the labour performed, therefore, the economical management of the recent spectacle in Hyde -park is probably unpa ralleled in this country; and we sincerely hope that in that respect the Crystal Palace Company will not be too self-confident to imitate a safe and prudent example. Magnificence and prodigality in the pre sent day are not necessarily synunimous; and even the favour of the million may be overestimated. —Times. S:PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The abyss of ignominy into which Louis Bonaparte is plunging the French nation seems to become daily more unfathomable. No sooner have we explored one portion of the gloomy gulf in which the past, the present, and the future of France seem to be buried, than we are aware of lower depths and darker shadows. We have ransacked ancient history to afford us parallels in order to bring more vividly to our own minds and those of our readers a state of things for which modern Europe, happily, amid all its disorders and retrogression, affords no preced en t. Th e games of Philip or Commodus may faintly image the files and spectacles offered to Paris in exchange for her liberty, and the annals of Rome before the Reformation may afford miracles as false and demands as shameless as those of the Bishop of Lucon ; but for his last stroke of genius the Presi dent need f ear no hi stor i c para ll e l ; it is happily unique and ori g i na l , a Napoleonic idea, and only Na poleonic. The e ff ort o f the P res id en t h as b een no t merely to enslave the country which, seduced by oaths and promises, trusted her liberty in his faithless hands, but to make the nation itself the accom plice in its own degradation. Repression is carried to such an extent, and the p owe r e xerted is so peremptory and absolute, that people are com pelled not merely to acquiesce, but to take an active and eager interest m rivetting their own fetters. Dotpitientas Tacitus tells us, kept a register of men's iiikilirtol-118 BOM' SO re ssion welcomed with smiles. muste-hevea ea _, wary act of aggression Many have snatched absolute power b y violence, or clutched it by fraud; he alone demands as a gift that which be has already taken as a right. But, more than this, he p u t s into the mouths of his people entreaties for slavery and petitions for degradation, sanctioned and enforced by an appeal to the deepest and tenderest passions of human nature.

Let natural affection supply th: n d u r nu of public spirit, and, if not for your asks, at any e r ate s for theirs, be free. You leave them your limas and your goods ; leave them also the inheritance of equal law and popular government, without which the pro prietor is a ryot, and the millionaire a mere deposi tory for the State." Will it be believed that thi s very appeal, so irresistibly urging to freedom, Laois Napoleon Bonaparte is now making to France, or rather requiring France to make to him, in order that he may perpetuate her slavery ? On behalf of the children whom they may fondle on their knees, as they value the hopes of the dearest objects of parental love, the fathers of France are instructed to beseech Louis Bonaparte to break yet one more oath by declaring his power perpetual, and thus to secure the future of millions, whose existence they are made to assure him hangs upon his breath. There is something in this passing the limits of ordi nary degradation, and the very sacrament of nature is profaned and invaded when the love of the parent for his child is put forward as a ground for selling him into servitude. Let our readers judge for them selves. There is now printed and circulated in France a petition to the Senate, prepared by an ardent supporter of the President, under the direc tion of the Minister of the Interior, for the re-es. tablishmeut of hereditary power in the person of Louis Bonaparte. This document, which we have elsewhere given at length, purports to be signed by fathers of families and labourers. It states, that in a country like France all interests are placed under the sovereign influence of the Chief' of the State; that who is to be this chief ought not to be made a periodical question ; that otherwise a father cannot possibly know the politicol conjuncture under which he will provide for the marriage of the child whom he fondles upon his knee; tnat therefore such a presidency cannot satisfy the loftiest and sweetest sentiments of parental and conjugal love; that, were it otherwise, the births ought in a peculiar manner to correspond to the renovation of the Executive; and that the present generation, having conquered anarchy, would violate all the duties which it owes to succeeding generations if it were to allow the prin ciple of resistance to be individualized; and prays, for these and other reasons, that Louis Napoleon m a y be invested with an hereditary succession. We can imagine no grosser insult offered to any nation than that contained in this really o fficial document. Go vernment in France, where the Moniteur lately as sured us "an ess ay was being made of the most un bounded liberty, " is always to be absolute, and the only question is in whose hands that absolute power is to be vested. Despotism in France • 18 an accom plished fact; and, teem die g to this • • petition, no other form of government is possible. - All that can be done for future generations is toma ke it g stable and permanent, and, i n or d er to ra tlytbe affectionate yearnings of retheis of famili es , to deprive posterity of the last vestige of tftcd"P'--- the power of selecting her own master.

Such is the language held, such are the sentiments expressed, in the country of Mirabeau and Lafayette. Happily it is not in the power of the Frenc h nation to confer on the existing s t a t e of things the stability which is asked. W i t Were possible to mortgage or alienate the rig ht s of posterity we believe that there is servil ity and baseness enough in the country to assign them over in the most solemn and binding Wanner.
