TELE SUN, LONDON, WEDNIISDAA EVENING, SEPTEMBE - 11 23, 1846. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION AT THE CROYDON RAILWAY TERMINUS THIS MORNING. Between the hours of tw o and three this morning a fire of a very fearful character, attended with a serious destruction of property, broke out upon the Croydon station of the London and Croydon Railway. From in quiries made during the progress of the fire it appears that whilst one of the constables of the P division was passing the Fox and .Hounds tavern he perceived a dense body of smoke issuing from the lamp room of the ter minus. Tbis satisfied the officer that a fire had broken out, and without a, moment's loss of time he raised an alarm, but before any person had time to come to his assistance the flames broke through the roof of the car riage depot,. a spacious building upwards of 100 feet long, and which was filled with carriages of the first and second classes. Contiguous to this build ing stood another erection, in which several other carriages were deposited. Fortunately the servants of the company and police succeeded in saving the contents of this place ; for, on seeing the imminent danger to which it was exposed, they pushed a train consisting of several carriages out of it. Intelligence was immediately sent to the engine stations of the town ; and soon the barrack and parish engines arrived. By this time the old locomotive depot was enveloped in flames, and more than a dozen first and second-class carriages were on fire, the flames from which illuminated the immediate dis trict and a portion of the metropolis. This became a speedier messenger than the intelligence sent, and several London engines started for the place. The first that arrived belonged to the West of England Company, from the Waterloo-read, under Mr. Connorton's direction : the Watlirg-street brigade engine, with Mr. Braidwood, was the next that ;tame down, and Mr. Garwood followed directly after with the County engine, from Regent-street. For some time the greatest difficulty was experienced in obtaining a supply of water, meanwhile the flames pro gressed with such rapidity, that before four o'clock both the stations of the present atmospheric and the old loco motives presented an immense body of flame, which roared as it issued from the several windows lake a num ber of furnaces in full operation. By leading the hose of the engines through the win dows, the military and firemen were enabled to pour a limited stream of water upon the destructive element ; but it had obtained too firm a hold to be easily extin • guished, and carriage after carriage fell a prey to the fury of the fire, and it was not until the whole of the combustible articles in the two buildings were burnt that the fire was subdued. The conflagra tion was only cut off just as it was attack ing the ticket station and booking-offices. Had the flames here progressed only a few feet further before they were stopped, the work of destruction would have been far more serious than it really has bsen. By eight o'clock the fire was so far subdued as to allay all further apprehensions of its extension. By that period, the old locomotive depot was burnt down, an immense number of first and second-class carriages destroyed; the atmospheric carriage shedding was like wise consumed; the electric telegraph was 'else displaced,- and a large number of the sleepers on the lino were burnt, and the metal tramways were forced into various shapes, so as to prevent the regular transit of the trains. The total loss must amount to several thousand pounds at the least ; and whether the property was insured or not we could not ascertain during the excitement which prevailed. The whole of the carriages destroyed were placed in . . the station ready for the first passage this morning. An inquiry into the cause of the outbreak will be in stituted by the directors of the company this afternoon. The traffic of the line must of necessity be suspended for some time, on account of the rooting up of the raili by the fire. ~✓ Too much praise cannot be given to the superinten dents of the London engine establishments, and to the West of England and County Companies, for their early arrival at the scene of destruction. IEDUCTION OF POSTAGE TO AND FROM DENMARK. The following notice was yesterday affixed at the chief office, St. Martin's-le-Grand : " General Yost-office, Sept. 22. " On and after the Ist of October next, the postage upon letters posted in the United Kingdom, and ad dressed to Denmark, and vice versa, when conveyed direct by packet . boat, or private ship,-will be reduced, in those CUSCS where the rate is collected in thia country; to the 'uniform rate of 10d. on a letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight ; Is. Bd. on a letter not exceed ing one ounce, and 'so on, according to the scale in operation in the United Kingdom for charging letters by weight. " These rates of 10d., Is. Bd., &c., comprise both the British and Danish postage on letters between the two countries. They must be either paid in advance or the letters forwarded unpaid at the option of the sender. "It is necessary, however, that the postage on all registered letters, as well as the registration fee, should be paid in advance. " When the letters are not conveyed by direct packet boat or private ship, between the United Kingdom and Denmark, but are specially directed to be forwarded by the routes of France, Belgium, Holland, or any other foreign country, they must be treated in every respect as letters sent in transit through such countries. " British newspapers, duly stamped and posted in ac cordance with the usual efficient regulations, may be forwarded by direct packet boat to Denmark, free of postage; and newspapers published in Denmark, and forwarded to the United Kingdom by direct packet, will not be liable to any postage on delivery. " When such newspapers are conveyed by private ship, they will be liable, in this country, to one penny each on those dispatched, and to the same sum on those delivered. zEoffifiiail42'ol% : :l l ll9 Posittaster General..'..',. .A.FFAIRS OF HOESTEIN. EXTRACT OF"THE PROTOCOL OF THE •SIT.TING OF •THE GERMAN DIET, SEPT. 17, 1846. RESOLUTION. "His Majesty the King of Denmark, Duke of Hol stein au' Lauenbourg, having made known by the de claration of the 7th of September, in reply to the petition addressed to the Diet by the states of Holstein, on the 3d of August, that there never was any intention of at tacking the independence of the Duchy of Holstein, nor of modifying arbitrarily either the constitution or the other institutions which the usage and laws of the country have consecrated ; his Majesty having, besides, given the assurance that the efforts to regulate the order of the succession of that duchy were not intended to affect the legitimate rights of the agnates, and, in short, the intention to maintain entire the constitutional right of petition by the states having been openly acknowledged by his Majesty; the High Diet is confident that in coming to a definite resolution on the subject, of which the letter patent of the Bth of July makes mention, his Ma jesty will respect the rights of all, and particularly the rights of the Confederation, the legitimate rights of the agnates, and those of the legal representatives of the country. While reserving to itself, as organ of the Con • federation, the right of giving effect, should the case arise, to its constitutional competence, the Diet deems that it cannot receive in the states of Holstein the legal representatives of that federal state; that their mission should be limited to the defence of their constitutional rights; and that the complaint of those states on the subject of changes to be made in an illegal manner in their constitution is without foundation. On the other hand, the Diet deems that the order transmitted by his Majesty to the royal commissioner at these states, not to receive petitions or reclamations relating to the question of the succession, does not, strictly speaking, accord with the literal sense of the law of the 28th of May, 1831. • " Secondly, the Diet is gratified in rendering justice to the patriotic sentiments that have been manifested on this occasion in Germany, but it deplores the hostile charges and expressions of animosity that have been given vent to. It hopes and trusts that the confederated Governments will endeavour to put a stop to this agita tion and excitement; and it has no doubt but that his Majesty the King of Denmark will fully reciprocate that feeling. " Thirdly, the DinishEnvoy is invited' to"coney this resolution to the knowledge of his Court." The following are the exceptions which the Envoy of Denmark has taken to the resolution of the Diet.— " On referring to the declaration of his Court, and without voting on the question of the Constitution, the Envoy does not think it his duty to take any exception, unless in the case that the passage in which the Diet expresses its confidence that the King of Denmark, in taking his decisive measures upon the questions men tioned in the letter patent, will respect certain rights, should be interpreted so as to apply to the duchy of Schleswig; or, in the case that to the rights of national representation to be respected, any other meaning should be attributed than that of their constitutional rights— rights which the Diet had in view in speaking on a pre vious occasion of his Majesty's intention to maintain entire the states' right of petition." TROTTING MATCH FOR TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS ASlDE.—Yesterday, a match between Mr. Reynold's grey maro, and Mr. Bilton's black horse came off at Wimbledon-common, the contesting distance being two miles; when, after a good race, the grey came in the winner by fifty yards, ha v in g cove red the distance in seven minutes and twenty seconds. TRUCKS ON WESTMINSTER BRlDGE.—Yesterday, about noon, several persons were knocked down on Westminster -bridge, by fellows, rushing through the narrow thoroughfare left open for foot passengers drawing trucks after them. A row of posts placed at - either end would effectually prevent such another occurrence. THE RESTORATION OF ST.

Almost everybody has read " Dr. llookwell," and hence we are persuaded that almost everybody will read the "Penscellwood Papers," seeing that they are from the pen of the same accomplished and ingenice;s writer. For these reasons, therefore, we are .nast solicitous that the first article in the two volumes under notice may be perused simply as a literary curiosity, that the reader may not be cajoled (or rather fascinated) into an erroneous belief merely by a few clever conceits, that the composition may be regarded simply as a game at logic, and not as the serious advocacy of an ethical theory. The purport of the disquisition in question is fully explained in its very title—" On the Future Life and Souls of Animals." No debating society has, perhaps, ever been established in which the question has not been broached whether animals are endowed with reason or instinct. And every one who has ever heard that question contended knows that very adroit arguments may be advanced in sup port of the former as well as in favour of the . latter opinion. Until the debater, however, can by a spon taneous metempsychosis transfer his intelligence into the carcase of a pig, or a dog, or some other animal, he can never demonstrate to himself, beyond all cavil, whether the sentience of an animal is the sentience of reason or the sentience of instinct. We must con sequently, in default of this impossible demonstration, revert to the fundamental part of religion—Faith. Christianity is always right wherever and whenever merely human intelligence is at fault. If we were red Indians we -might- unquestionably coincide with the author of these volumes in anticipating the future existence of animals, and even expect to be accom panied by our favourite dog to the great hunting ground beyond the grave. But being as we are, we can look upon man as the only creature endowed with higher or reasoning faculties, and as alone destined to enjoy life hereafter. That mysterious draughtsman Blake once drew the portrait of the ghost of a flea, as it appeared to him in one of his visions, and which portrait we remember to have seen recently. Some what as authentic and conclusive is the testimony of the future existence of animals given by the author of the "Penscellwood Papers." Nevertheless we are not inclined to argue this matter seriously, but rather take his lucubration as it was doubtless intended to be taken, namely, as a quaint and agreeable eccen tricity. It is quite a vaudeville of metaphysics. As it may possibly tend, moreover, to enforce those sen timents of tenderness to the dumb creation which are incorporated in Martin's Act, the effusion is accept able. The retention or abolition of " Capital Punish ments" is the theme of the second paper, and, while it evinces considerable talent in endeavouring to emphasise a principle it is animated by a very winning earnestness. It will be examined with peculiar interokt ut_this, mement.. The remaining portions_ of the second volume are of equal merit with the pre. ceding ; and, we would especially direct attention to the observations upon " The Established Church," and " The Education of the People." What we would particularise as the most striking and com mendable characteristics of this work are—a great freshness of manner, a singular originality and freedom of thought, and a most genuine and honour able benevolence of tone. For these features " The Penscellwood Papers" will be admired, and the author respected. THE CONTINENTAL FORGERIES.—The two forgers, Theodore Ilerweg, alias Romanzou or Raumanzow, and Knapps, have undergone several interrogations before the examining magistrates, and several witnesses have also been examined. It appeared that Romanzou scarcely ever remained in one apartment more than a quarter of a year, and was to leave that in the Rue d'Anjou, where he was taken, in October. He never went out, and was not visited during the time he stayed there by more than three persons. The preliminary proceedings are likely to occupy several months, on account of- the evidence which will be required from several foreign countries. Knapps is confined in the prison of the Madelonnettes, and Romanzou in that of St. Pelagrie. The thirty-two notes found upon Roman zou were for 1001. each, and not for 5/., as was at first stated..: Both the prisoners have made a full confession. Romanzou states that, after having sonarrowly escaped from arrest on the 6th January, 1832, when, the woman Danelle, and Pressel, the native of Wurtemberg,, were surprised at l'aSsy, where he, Romanzou, had set up a press, he got over the frontier into Switzer land, and made his way into Italy, where he lived for four months upon a sum of money that he took with him. Fearing an application for his extradition, he re turned to France, thinking he would be able the more easily to conceal himself there. His resources were then reduced to two genuine Bank of England notes for 1001. each ; and he conceived for the first time the idea of imitating them. But the difficulties he had to con tend with were so great that he was for two years working assiduously before he could succeed ; living in the most parsimonious manner upon one of the notes being obliged to keep the other as a model. At the end of the two years he found that he had produced a perfect forgery, but not daring to trust the uttering of his false notes to any third person, he issued them himself, and in three days exchanged twenty-six of them for 100/. each at different money-changers' offices. He then stopped, and travelled till he saw the effect pro duced upon the Bank of Englard. At the time of his last capture, Itomanzou was engaged, with the assistance of his accomplice Knapp% in manufacturing a greater number of notes of the Bank of England, with the intent, as he says, of raising 100,0001'., with which he hoped to get over.to America, and there live an honest pfe:-- ,- GtOgnttnt. - • - That destructive insect, the locust, continues to be Picked up in considerable numbers on various parts of 'the coasts of Northumkerland and Durham, - many of them being three or four inches' long, and of propor tionate height. The unusual heat which has been ex perienced in our climate this year is supposed to have directed these destructive visitors to our shores, where the rigours of the approaching winter will probably ex tirpate such as escape capture in the interim by the hordes of naturalists and others who are now daily in pursuit of them. GAME FASCINATED BY TERROR.—We have fre quently heard of birds being rendered powerless by the serpent's glare, but we had no idea that game could be fascinated by the pointer's eye. Yet such appears to be the case. A correspondent assures us, that while enjoy ing a walk with a sporting gentleman, over his moors in Ross-shire, the other day, the pointer came to a sudden stand, and, on looking minutely, he observed a grouse coct,lying about twenty inches from the dog's nose, with his eye intently fixed on his. It seemed petrified with horror, and although unwounded and quite healthy, permitted the gentleman to take and put it alive in the bag. We have heard of a white hare being taken in a similar manner in Glenmoriston, some years ago.— Inverness Courier. A RAILWAY HUNT AFTER A SUNDAY'S DINNER.— A gentleman of Liverpool, who is residing temporarily in the vicinity of Bromborough, sent a parcel on Satur day evening to the Birkenhead and Chester Railway Office, in James- street, containing a joint for Sunday's dinner, clean linen, shaving tackle, and other necessaries, with directions to be kept until he booked for Brombo rough himself. The parcel was directed to that place. On arriving at the office, he was told, to his dismay, that the parcel was sent forward by the previous train, and would, no doubt, be found either at Birken head or Bromborough. When he reached Birken head he made inquiries after his lost treasures in vain, they must be at Bromborough, he was told; but in case .of so unfortunate a mishap as their having gone on to Chester, the clerk said he would write to the station, and his parcel should be duly returned next morning. He met, accordingly, the half-past eight train, but no mutton, clean shirt, or razor, there awaited him. He stayed till ten ; but that train he was told would not stop unless he booked to go by it to Liverpool. He paid his ninepence accordingly. Still no parcel.

Our dinner-hunter found, however, that there wouia then ne no time to return till two in the afternoon. "Go on to Chester," suggested the clerk. Our hero, however, preferred re turning to Bromborough again, where a man having been dispatched forth to Chester, his lost dinner, &c., reached him at two o'clock.

A vacancy will occur by the naval promotion of the present Comp troller-General of the Coast Guard, Captain Phipps' Hornby, R.N., C. 8., Aide-de-camp to her Majesty the Queen ; and it is stated in naval circles that Capt.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Her Majesty, Prince Al bert., and the Royal Family, attended by Colonels Grey and Bouverie, Equerries ; Viscountess Canning, Lady in Waiting ; the Hon. Miss Kerr, Maid of Honour, and the usual staff of domestics, embarked at Trinity-wharf, East Cowes, this morning, at ten minutes past nine o'clock, on board the Fairy yacht, under the command of Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, R.N., and left for Gos port under royal salutes from the Royal Yacht Squadron battery and yachts in the roads, some of which were gaily dressed. The Fairy, with the standard of England at her main, was navigated leisurely to Spithead ; on approaching the anchorage, at 45 minutes past nine o'clock, the Re cruit, 12, Commander Slade, manned her yards and sa luted, which was followed by similar tributes from the Abo, Russian corvette, Captain Reedneef, and the Hon. Company's steam-frigate Moosupper, Captain Ethersey, all handsomely dressed in colours. The Moozupper at tracted especial attention from her Majesty and the Prince Consort. At 56 minutes past nine o'clock the Fairy entered this harbour, under salutes from the Platform Battery, the Victory, and Excellent, those ships, together with the Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Davis, the Lightning, the Myrtle, and Victoria and Albert giving their ensigns to the breeze, and the larger of them manning yards and cheering as the Fairy passed. She steamed up the Wee vil Creek, and was put alongside the jetty, where the royal party disembarked at ten minutes past ten o'clock. Here were assembled to receive her Majesty—Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in-Chief ; Major-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor, with the keys and a report of the state of the garrison ; the Hon. Lady and the Hon. Miss Pakenham ; Captain Pasco ' of the Victory ; Captain Superintendent Carter, R.N.; Lieutenant Raw storne, of the Victory (appointed to attend upon all royal and other distinguished personages at this port); Colonel Daly, Brigade-Major; Town-Major White; Captain Pakenham, A.D.C.; Lieutenant-Colonel Van Straubenzee, of the 3d ('Buffs) Regiment ; Major Cun ninghame. of the 13th ' • Mr. Davies, Master-attendant; Mr. T.

Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence joined the royal train on disembarking from the Fairy. Her Majesty was escorted to the carriage by Sir Charles Ogle and Sir Hercules Pakenham, and at 13 minutes past 10 the engine was set in motion by Mr. Naylor, when the train left for Farnborough. The train stopped at Basingstoke, where Mr. Stovin supplied her Majesty with the morning papers, and it arrived at Farnborough at half-past 11. The royal party immediately left in four carriages for Windsor under an escort of cavalry. • , .2,,, =won 4.ttry TRENT VALLEY, MIDLANDS, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held to-day, at two o'clock, at the com pany's offices, 19, Great George-street, Westminster. HENRY TOOTAT, Esq., deputy-chairman, having taken the chair, said his first duty was to express his extreme regret that the chair was not occupied by the chairman, the Hon. Colonel Anson. He held in his hand a letter, stating that severe domestic affliction, namely the death of one of his children, prevented him from being present. The SECRETARY read the advertisement, and after wards the report of the directors. It stated that the meeting had been specially convened to take into consi deration the proposed amalgamation of the company with the North Staffordshire Company, to ratify the agreements, dated the 23d February and 19th June, 1846, to that effect, and to confbr the necessary powers on the directors for fully effectuating that object. The capital stock of the amalgamated company would con sist of 945,0001., composed of 78,750 shares of 121. each, of which 35,000 would belong to the Tresat Valley Com pany, and a 121. share in the amalgamated company would he issued to each holder of one 20/. scrip. The accounts showed a sum of 73,5001. receipts and de posits up to the 22d SepteMber instant, and 12,710/. 15s. 6d. payments on account of expenses, thereby leaving a balance of 60,789/. 4s. 6d. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders, on their first meeting after obtaining the Act. At an early stage of their proceedings the circumstance of another company having been formed, which aimed at the same objects and traversed the same country, was a reason hy the directors felt anxious that they should be brought together. He bad now the pleasure to tell them that the agreements for amalgamation had been pre pared, and now all that was necessary to complete it was the consent of Parliament. He believed the railway would benefit the country through which it was con structed, and be remunerative to those who had invested their capital in it. He moved that the report now read be received and adopted, printed, and circulated among the members. Mr. J. W. UNETT seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next business was the election of directors ; he wished, therefore, to state that in the terms of the amalgamation, the South Stafford shire Company appointed ten of the directors, and the Trent Valley eight. The eight retiring directors were then unanimously re-elected. Messrs. George Sanders, Wakefield, and James Dur ham, were appointed auditors, at a salary of 25/. each. The CHAIRMAN said the special business of the day now came before the meeting, namely, the approval of the,amalgamati ,, n of the Trent Valley with the South Staffordshire. The other company were to find of the whole capital 525,0001., and the Trent Valley 420,0001. The SECRETARY then read a series of resolutions voting the amalgamation of the two companies, and authorising the directors to carry it out. The CHAIRMAN moved these resolutions. Mr. BEALE seconded them, and they passed unani mously. . A PROPRIETOR said he observed that the 201. shares were cow reduced 12/.; he wished to know when the bor rowing clause would come into operation, if at all? The CHAIRMAN said the reduction was Necessary ; as the capital of the two companies would have been more than was needed, and they had still the same power to borrow to the extent of one-half as before. A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether this company would make the Shewbellow Branch, or would leave it to be made by the Grand Junction Company ? The CHAIRMAN said it would be made, but by whom he could not yet say. Mr. WALKINGSHA.W moved a vote of thanks to the directors, which was seconded, and carried unanimously. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and the meeting then separated. GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN R A ILWAY.— (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the scripholders and shareholders in this company was held at the company's offices, 5, Gresham street, City, for the purpose of determining whether or not the company should be dissolved. Mr. Ward, M.P., was voted to the chair. The advertisemnt convening the meeting having been read, the following gentlemen were appointed scruti neers, viz., Messrs Sparkman, iluberstey, and Crosbie. The meeting then adjourned to the Guildhall Coffee- house. The CHAIRMAN having made a long personal expla nation as to the occasion of his former non-attendance, Mr. COHEN said he wished to know whether the meeting was duly called in compliance with the require ments of the shareholders. The SECRETARY then read the case put to Mr. Lloyd, the barrister, and the opinion of the counsel that the present meeting was strictly legal. After some desultory conversation, The CHAIRMAN said that with regard to the delay that had occurred in the calling of the meeting, in the first place, till the passing of Lord Dalhousie's Act, they had no power to dissolve the company. A meeting would have been called immediately after the Act had been passed had not the directors been in negotiation with the Newport and Abergavenny Railway Company. The directors had an agreement, by which the shareholders were secured the possession of oae half of the shares in that Company if they chose to avail themselves of such a power. The Hon. Gentleman then entered into an ex planation of the various meetings which had been held, and of the reasons for his not attending, and the com pulsion to which he was subjected to perform official duties at the Admiralty, &c., respecting which such severe comments had been made. Then, with regard to the subsequent notices that had been served on them (the directors), there was some informality in all of them. If the notices thus served on him had been legal, he would have attended, as he had ob tained Lord Auckland's permission to do so. From these statements, which he felt it his :duty to make, it was evident that he did not intend to run away from them. He, as well as the other directors, had no intention or desire of frustrating the dissolution of the company as to the terms upon which that disso lution was to be effected.— (Cries of "Hear, hear.") An opinion was entertained that the shareholders had a claim on the directors for 40s. a share. Now the circu lars that had been issued contained a complete perversion of the facts of the case. As to the legal claims of any body of shareholders against the directors, it was a matter that must be decided by a legal test. But it had been put to them a s a moral obligation to meet the views of the sharelu aders on this point. If he could see that that moral obligation existed he, for one, would not be with held b)' legal technicalities from acceding to the views of the sh areholders. But he denied that such was the case. The documents to which he referred, and which con tained th-e statement as to the obligation of the directors, altogetbest omitted the words "preliminary expenses" in all theix statements. Now, it was absurd to suppose that any - men of sense would attempt to carry on a line o f any length for 10s. a mile. Such a thing we s never known in the railway world, and cer tainly was never contemplated by him. The simple questim i ft r the shareholders to consider was, whether or not t hey (the directors) 'had discharged themselve s properly •of the duties which they had agreed to perform in the us Aclertaking in which they had embarked, with the rest of tl se shareholders. They were all suffering from the engi n.?er's conduct. (The Chairman here read a letter, Iv' i - tten by him to Mr. Gravatt, the engineer, de precatint ; his delay in proceeding with the line, and concludit 3g - with the words, " that if the line was not prosecut. K 1 it would be a disgrace.") Mr. Cc )R xx—Why then go to Parliament? The C u. tIRMAN—By adopting that proceeding they were nov i in a position to resist the whole d ema md of Mr. Gravatt, as well as to pro ceed agai nat him for the money already paid. Having•' giv en a historyof the Parliamentary battles of the company; he, in conclusion, said he had only to repeat that he on ly desired that there should be a satisfactory arrang( I moont, and as far as he himself was concerned, he was pre ,ceded by his position from any future connexion with ra %ways. Ame yat protracted discussion ensued, after which the secretes y read a financial statement. From this it appeared that the ,money received was 103,2311. 4s. 9d., while the is exceeded 40,0001. The balance in the bankers' hands twos 42,59 W., and the outstanding claims were for the soli tors, 13,1421.; the local agents, 1,7821. 15s. 2d.; to Mr. ( iravatt, 7,5001., &e. Capta itt HEAVISIDE then moved, and Mr. GRIFFIN s'econdet I, that the company should be dissolved, which w.as cart it d. It was : then moved by Mr. GRIFFIN that this dissolu tion shot L 'd not be taken for an act of bankruptcy. Mr.. Er ;GUSH seconded the motion, which was car ried, E the meeting separated.

VAUXHALL.—The proprietors of the " Royal Pro. perty" have opened their gardens to the public at ls., with the same entertainments that have been received throughout the season with much favour ; they are crowded every evening. NELSON'S LADY lIAMILTON.—A monumental marble tablet in memory of this lady is now in progress, to be placed in the chapel of the English Consulate at Boulogne : it bears the following inscription—" In memory of Emma, wife of Sir William Hamilton, and the friend of Lord Nelson, who lies buried in a timber yard, near the Porte de Boulogne, outside this town." TWO LIVES LOST ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Monday evening a dreadful accident occurred at the Farringdon-road station, on the Great Western Railway, by which two of the passengers were killed and others seriously injured. From what has been ascertained, it appears that the quarter-before-five o'clock Bristol train, from Paddington, proceed in per fect safety until within a short distance of the station at Farringdon-road, 634 miles from Paddington, when the steam was thrown off, and the breaks applied, for the purpose of stopping. The luggage-van, which was between the tender and second-class carriages, ran off the rails, thereby diminishing its velocity, and con sequently the second-class carriage next to it ran into it with a fearful crash, being impelled forward by the remainder of the train, which was an unusually heavy one ; the carriage was entirely demolished, and two passengers lost their lives ; their names, when this account was written had not transpired, the strict silence observed by the officials and servants of the company, precluding the possibility of any details relative to the melancholy occurrence being known; but it is rumoured mat there has burn serious tujurlers A coro ner's inquest is to be held on the bodies of the deceased, to attend which Mr. S. Clarke, the principal superin tendent of the line, and Mr. Collard, the superintendent of the railway police, left town yesterday morning. No blame 'can :possibly be attached to the engine-driver or guards, as it is understood that the break whistle was blown on throwing off the steam, and the breaks applied as usual. The luggage van which caused the disaster, is a small four-wheeled carriage, something similar to a horse-box, and consequently too light to precede heavy six-wheel carriages, which acquire such a very great velocity in long stages, the last between Steventon and Farringdon-road being seven and a half miles.

To address the Government would certainly be useless—to appeal to the nation might be considered dangerous ; the Cortes alone will know how to reconcile what is due to the tranquillity of the country with what is due to its Princes and to the future destiny of the Royal Family. " Remote from. the Court and all ambitious views, I lived exclusively devoted to the duties of my pro fession as a sailor, when, with the royal permission, I repaired, towards the end of the year 1845, to visit my revered father at Madrid. In his paternal affection, and guided more or less by what he knew or imagined of the Queen's wishes, he thought that I was in a position to take some initiative in the im portant question of her marriage ; for myself, taking into consideration the public opinion as unanimously manifested by the press of all parties, I thought I could not take such a step without declaring in writing, and that in the most solemn manner, the political principles which ought to be observed in a matter so important for the security of the constitu tional throne and the independence of the Spanish nation. My father undertook to present in my name to her Majesty the expressions of my sentiments. The circumstances which occurred at the Royal Palace on this occasion obliged me to publish my manifesto of the 31st of December, which could not he understood, as the motive of its publication re mained unknown. "From that moment commenced for me a period of persecution which has hardly beheld a day pass with out some fresh injury being levelled at me. " I will not descend to enumerate the various vexations which I suffered. The most public and no torious will suffice to show whether or not they ought from the past to adopt some measure which for the future may prevent a Prince, or any other Spaniard, from being the victim of the arbitrary will of their Ministers. " Having obliged me to quit Madrid immediately, I was received and treated by the authorities of Galicia in a way which taught me to know the other trials to which the Ministers had resolved to subject me. The regard of my countrymen, which, how ever, they were not allowed ta show. me, compensat,4 nevertheless for the vexations I endured, and never did I enjoy greater peace of mind, and more complete tranquillity, than during the first period of my perse cution. Nor did I dream of obtaining a position which would have forced my persecutors to respect me; on the contrary, I longed, from the bottom of my heart, as the greatest happiness for the Queen and for the nation, that the choice of her Majesty should fall on my beloved brother, as more worthy to occupy so distinguished and high a position—a sentiment which I have ever manifested with loyalty whenever the opportunity for so doing was afforded me. " After this sincere proof of self-denial given by ire at that time, and living as I was in tranquillity and exile, I could not at that time understand the motives of the fresh persecution which assailed me, when, being in Ferrol, I received the order to present myself without a moment's loss of time at Corunna, before the Captain-General of Galicia, who commu nicated to me the order which I inclose, to the effect that I should quit the kingdom in forty-eight hours, •in spite of anylimpediment I might oppose to the con trary, even that of illness—a circumstance mentioned in the Government order, which was communicated to me on my embarking, but which I have not in my possession. Out of respect for the Queen and love of peace, I consented to this indignity, and writing to her Majesty in fitting terms I embarked for Bayonne, without even receiving the honours due to my rank on leaving the shores of my country, and the object of the cruel prejudices excited against me in the mind of the commandant of the vessel which con veyed me, and who was required to give a receipt for my person. In as far as the action and power of the 11 inisters could reach me in a foreign land, I ex perienced the effects of their rage. 1 could not comprehend the true motive and object which they had in view until I arrived in Paris, where I was so kindly received by my august uncle, the King of the French, when I perceived clearly that it was not the act of having one day aspired to the hand of her Majesty that was to be punished in me, but the not continuing to do so, accompanying my desire with submission to a certain influence, and com it with --a—certain .-condition. I sever intended to mention this, but to, the National Assembly,.l owe the whole trudy.i . and . I will in those which bind me towards my country and my not fail in this duty any more than I did at Paris family. " I quickly left that capital for this peaceful king dom, where I have lived retiredly and tranquil, al though caluminated, calmly awaiting the solution of the question which was to bear so much influence on my future destiny. Proposals from, in my eyes, the most respectable quarter, have been made to me to return to Spain. Had I consulted my own per sonal interest, I should have accepted them; but attentive only to my dignity, and to the severe principles which I have laid down for my guid ance, I rejected them, declaring that I have a right to require, and that I must sooner or later obtain, reparation as complete and honourable as the injustice of my ejection from the kingdom of Spain was great. " The silence which followed these communications might naturally have been expected to be the fore runner of some catastrophe, and such, indeed, it has proved—the marriage of her Majesty the Queen with my beloved brother, and that of the Infanta with the Duke of Montpensier, agreed upon at the same time, although not published in the same form, solemnly Announced to Spain. The first accomplishes my wishes so often manifested, and the second discovers to Spain and the whole of Europe that which I was given to understand during my short residence in Paris. Of the use which Spain and Europe may make of this discovery I have nothing to say, nor does it belong to me to examine whether a clause in serted in the Constitution in the year 1845 opposes this union. What belongs to me by right, and that which I shall do, influenced less by family views and interests than by the desire to avoid the possibility of difficut questions, and perhaps even wars of suczession, which have been so fatal to LU pruLemc all ; 15 1s Crown which may be granted to the children of the Duke of Montpensier, if he should ever be united to the Infanta. " The renunciation which the family of Orleans made by the treaty of Utrecht would annul before hand any right of this kind which might be declared or supposed, and my family being the one most in- jured, I protest before the Cortes against any preju dice which may atis@. " Thus, the present document, which I respectfttlly address to the Senate, will serve at the same time to enable the Cortes to adopt the necessary measures that for the future, and by their orders, the antecedent rights of all and such of the individuals of the Royal Family should be respected as the,basis of the tran quillity and independence of the nation, which, where soever I may be, is, and will remain, the idol of my heart, as it is of every good Spaniard, no matter what may be his party.

FAMINE IN IKELAND—GOVERN-; MENT MEASIX„ES FOR RELIEF. In consequence of the gi . ,eat distress in Ireland, arising from the failure of the potato crop, various re ports have been circulated as to what the Government to is about to do to relieve the necessito population. As to what are the intentions of the Government we will not venture any speculation, but what hat: actually been ordered we may inform our readers. Six of her Majesty's steam - vessels and ta., o Ordnanco lighters are at present employed on the coast of Ireland, not only in conveying Indian corn mea l, but also ship biscuit, from Cork to the various point s on the e oast and up the rivers in Ireland. Her Majesty's Steam-sloop Strombol i, Captain E:76her. has proceeded ti . om Cork to Tarbert, with between 600 and 900 sacks of Indian corn meal, and having ca'is charged the same into her Majesty's steamers, Alb,la and Pluto, will return to Cork for more "bread stuff?' Her Majesty's steamer Alban, and her Majesty's'' , steamer Pluto, Captain .Lowe, take the cargo from the Stromboli, and convey it to Limerick for distribution. Her Majesty's steam-vesol Dee, Captain Driver, was at Cork on Saturday last, loading with Indian corn meal for Tarbert and Limerick. Her Majesty's steamer Rhathamanthus, Capt. Aylen, with 1,000 sacks of Indian corn meal, and as large a quantity of sea biscuit from the naval stores at Cork as she could stow, arrived at Dingle on the 17th, when it was placed under the charge of the Government commis - sary for the Dingle relief committee. Vie Rhadaman thus returned to Cork. Her Majesty's steamer Swallow, Mr. Brynlit mastery has arrived at Cork, for the conveyance of Indian corn meal, having been placed at the disposal of the conlmis sioners by the Admiralty. In addition to the above, her Majesty's steamer Conwt, Captain Johnstone, has been sent to Ireland with money.. Sho arrived at Cork, and having delivered some of her spece to the Branch Bank of Ireland, proceeded on Sa turday from Cork to Tralec, Limerick, Galway, West port, and Sligo, distributing the money at the various branch banks of Ireland, for the relief of the distressed inhabitants. It has been stated that the Government had appro priated a sailing vessel of war as a store-ship for the Shannon, with the view of a better and more uniform distribution of the provisions. Her Majesty's 44-gun frigate Madagascar has arrived at Cork, from Plymouth, having been fitted up as a store ship. There she is loading with Indian corn and other provisions, and when she has been quite fitted she is to be towed to the Shannon, and is ti be moored at the , island of Foynes, about 20 miles from Limerick, as a depot for provisions for that district. She is a very capacious ship, measuring more than 1,100 tons, and in order that she may be as roomy as passible her masts and rigging are to be taken out of her. From this ship the Swallow and other steamers will take provisions up the Shannon. The Government have likewise ordered that two ram - 1;i sailing men-of-war shall be fitted at Plymouth Dook yard for the same purposes as the Madagascar. There are the Andromeda, another 44-gun frigate, of above 1,200 tons ; and the Andromache, a 26-gun skip, of 700 tons. It is understood likewise that arrangements have been made by the Government and the Admiralty to put into active operation the Royal William Victuallin Establishment at Plymouth, for the purposes of grinding of Indian corn, and the manufacture eNf biscuit. ESQ " l‘ papers, l."— T E STIMONIAL TO JOHN BRIGHT, A paragraph has been going t he round of Pie stating that the testimonial to Mr. Bright already ex ceeds 10,000 1 ; this statement is incorrect, the a -1 ready subscribed does not exceed 4,0001. The Reoladalo committee, with whom the testimonial originated, ex,- pressly states in their circulars that they do not ask or wish for larger subscriptions, their object being wily to obtain an expression of acknowledgment of the serVices which their townsman has rendered to the cause of feee trade. The 4,0001. already subscribed has been re ,- ceived in answer to circulars sent out, no returns having as yet been received except from Wray, an agricultural village, they having sent nearly 41. subscribed is shil lings and sixpence 3. A dreadful accident took place a few days ago near Saint Gall, in Switzerland. A portion of rock on which was a footpath gave way at the moment when two young females were on it, and they were pre cipitated into the bed of a torrent, where they met in stantaneous death. MURDER IN LivEurooL. Yesterday evening,. about half-past seven o'clock, a woman named Catherine Tunney, residing at 42, Thomas-street, received such severe injuries at the hands of her husband, Owen Tun ney, as caused her death. From the very imperfect ac counts we were enabled to glean, it appears that they had a quarrel, during which Tunnev knocked his wife down by a blow upon her head with his fist; and when she was down he kicked her so violently as to cause her death, before a surgeon, who was sent for, could arrive. The unfortunate woman was in an advanced state of pregnancy. The man absconded immediately, and had not been apprehended at a late hour last night.—Liver pool Times. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A RAILWAY STATION. —On Saturday night last, about half-past nine o'clock, a number of passengers, many of whbm belonged to the regiment of yeomanry who had been attending the review at Worcester, booked themselves at the Spetchley station for Birmingham. After waiting a considerable time they were informed that the train had been delayed at Defford by the breaking of one of the axles, and would not be up for some time, an announcement which was not calculated to give much satisfaction to the ex pectant travellers. One gentleman demanded the money which he bad paid for his ticket, stating that he would return to Worcester, but the demand was refused; and words running high, the person in charge of the office proceeded to eject the applicant by force from the station. The altercation, as may be supposed, attracted the attention of the other passengers, who rushed to the rescue, and a great commotion ensued, in the midst of which the ticket manager thought it prudent to take retage in an adjoining office. After waiting several hours, the mail train from Bristol came up, and the passengers be gan to felicitate themselves on the prospect of being at length forwarded on their journey; but to their extreme mortification, they were informed that they could not be allowed to travel by that train, although there was abundant room in the carriages. The result of this complication of mishaps and unnecessary annoyances was, that they did not set out from Spetchley till nearly one o'clock; and instead of arriving at Birmingham at half-past ten, they did not reach their destination till past two o'clock in the morning, while the passengers destined for the north lost all chance of pursuing their journey, and were obliged to stop for the night in Birmingham.—Birmingham Journal. The Journal de Liege contains the following ad vertisement:—" A. P. captain of infantry, having an nounced in the journal the Bth that he will not acknow ledge or pay any debt contracted by his wife, she thinks it right, in her turn, to inform the public that she will not pay any debt contracted by her husband, and that her pecuniary resources enable her to pay her debts much better than her husband can p a y his.
