The lesser grievance seems therefore to have been selected, and, by a somewhat sagacious and prudential forethought, the negative aid of the English seems not only to have been desired, but actually requested. The information obtained from Hydrabad is not entirely unworthy of consideration. According to the most accurate accounts, the expulsion of the Rohillas has been definitely resolved upon by the Nizam, and for the purpose of insuring the better realisation of this object the assistance and recom mendations of the Resident have been earnestly en treated. Consequent upon the compact thus effected between the Nizam and the Resident, and impelled by the active measures which have already been taken, all the rebellious Zumindars, saving the tributary Zumindar of Gudwal, have submitted at discretion. With the exception of the defeat of four thousand men, under NURSIMA REDDY, in Cuddapah, and the obstinate refusals of GracloLaß SINGH, the countries of India continue in a state of comparative tranquillity. After the many san guinary campaigns which have, year after year, afflicted those regions, it is refreshing to find even a temporary cessation from incursions and insurrections. An incident to which we have already alluded, and the narrative of which is given in another column, has recently divulged the feelings of animosity which are still rankling in the bosoms of the Chinese. When an English merchant cannot proceed through the streets of Canton without being liable to the molestation of a fanatical mob solely on the score of his being a foreigner, and in open disre gard of the inoffensiveness of his character, it is mani fest that his countrymen can be, there,in no very excel lent repute. We can understand how a populace may, in moments of remarkable excitement, vent their dis like for a whole race by pouring their derision upon an unfortunate individual of that race--just as the ' citizens of Madrid mobbed an unhappy tailor on the recent opening of the Spanish Chambers. But when a crowd of idle vagabonds like these Chinese deli berately assault a harmless wayfarer during a period of profound peace, oblige him to seek refuge from their violence in a structure called Mingqua's Hong, storm that shelter by showers of brickbats, and com mit such extraordinary acts of insubordination and brutality as to require the calling out of the Chinese soldiers and police before this Englishman could be rescued from his rather perilous predicament, we may feel confident that a bitter antagonism towards Great Britain is cherished by the populace. It is lamentable to reflect that the silly rancour of these people recoiled on this occasion with some violence upon themselves, several of the Chinese having been killed during the tumult, and several seriously in jured. According to the magisterial report, three were killed and six wounded, while according to the popular rumour 13 were killed and 20 wounded. Whether the proclamation subsequently issued by NAN HAI HIEN, the chief magistrate of Canton, will prove efficient in quelling this ill-will on the part of the population is rather dubious; but it is earnestly to be hoped such additional measures may be taken either by himself, or KEYING, as will render 1 such another outbreak impossible. Beyond this, the English residents must combine an aspect of conciliation and firmnesss if they are desirous of ingratiating themselves with the Chinese, or if they are merely solicitous, indeed, for their own security. The friendship of a nation so singular cannot be acquired except with considerable difficulty; its hatred may, on the contrary, be readily aroused. And it is upon a knowledge of these things that our national and individual policy with China should be regulated. NEW WORK BY TIIE REV. R. COBBOLD.

The chief difficulties that at present interpose , hemselves and prevent immediate recourse being had D the waste lands in Ireland, as a source by which employment, yielding an ample return, may be afforded to the labouring population, are occasioned by the limited nature of the estates, and the several charges and encumbrances affecting the owners. Much time would necessarily be lost in the investigation of the titles of the granting parties, before individual% associated companies, or county boards, could satis factorily ascertain that they would be safe in expend ing their money thereon. As Mr. O'CONNELL has said, "the complication of interests, the properties of minors, the properties vested in trustees for married women, the properties in the hands of the receivers of the Court of Chancery, and of other creditors and annuitants, all these and many other complicated relations would require much time and labour to ar range, in order to secure any Government loans made for profitable work." This is quite true. We may add, the subsisting entails and the charges affecting lands still in the hands of the owners. Much delay would be occasioned by these causes before the people could be set to work thereon, and in the mean time the necessity for instant occupation is pressing. The supplying food to the people cannot be postponed under any circumstances. The safety of the country, the preservation of its peace and tranquillity, the averting of outrage and disturbance, and, beyond all, every consideration of humanity, of Christian feeling, demand immediate action. We are sure, however, that there is no case in which the works were com menced under the sanction of a presentment duly made at a sessions held under the new Act, either with the public money or that of individuals advanced fur the purpose of carrying out the object and giving the necessary employment, that the Legislature would not pass any Acts necessary to give full security for the outlay. Few private persons, however, would be willing to advance their money subject to such a contingency, and for the present, and until the meeting of Parliament, we can only hope to have operations for the reclaiming the waste lands com menced at the public expense, or of that of the in dividual owners who may be in a position them selves to undertake the necessary outlay on their own properties.

Morning 16 minutes after 3. 1 Evening 32 minutes after 3. nary purchaser would require. The immediate taking of lands is not without a precedent. In the year 1845 an ..xct was passed empower ing the Admiralty and Board of Ordnance to take, without any previous sessional notice, any quantity of ground that might be required for the service of the army and navy, or for naval and military works contemplated to be constructed in the United Kingdom. The measure we have suggested would be but a slight extension of the principle thereby sanctioned. It would allow waste and un productive lands to be taken for the purpose of being improved and brought into full cultivation, on the presentment of a baronial sessions, approved of and confirmed by the Board of Works. This, we think should be one of the first enactments passed on the meeting of Parliament. Another most valuable pro vision would be the permitting of the employment afforded under the Labour-rate Act, to be applied to the improvement of agriculture, as well as to public works. On this subject a quotation from the ad mirable work of Mr. POWLETT SCROPE, to which we lately alluded, must be more convincing than any thing we can offer on the subject. That gentleman, in speaking of the means that exist in Ireland for the profitable employment of its entire population, whether as landholders cultivating farms, or as labourers draining, reclaiming, improving, and culti vating, after a better fashion than prevails at present throughout that country, its fertile, but most neglected and mismanaged soil, says,— "Fourteen millions of acres of land at present in tillage, but undrained, fenced only with rude banks of earth, with scarce anything to be called farm buildings, and cultivated on such a system that it is not too much to say that one half of it is always in a state of fallow. No, not fallow (that is too flattering a term), but covered - with rashes and weeds, to rest for five or seven years till the other half is exhausted by scourging crops, and which, in the opinion of the best judges, might, by the employment of more labour in thorough draining and high cultivation, be made to produce four times as much as it does at pre sent ; here is a field for the occupation of idle hands." Did the opinions here so forcibly and ably put for ward require any cionfirmation, it would be found in the report of Lord DEVON'S Commission, in which it is stated : " We think that no person acquainted with Ireland, or who takes the trouble of referring to the evidence collected by us, can doubt the importance of encou raging agricultural improvement throughout the country—including in that term improvement of the dwellings and farm building; as well as the better cultivation of the soil ;" and they add, in reference thereto in a subsequent part, " We are convinced that in the present state of feelings in Ireland, no single measure can be better calculated to allay discontent, and to promote substantial improvement throughout the country." The opinions thus expressed are confirmed by the proceedings and resolutions adopted at the various meetings held almost every day in Ireland. They all insist on the importance of the labonr being applied to works which will combine substantial improvement of the land with immediate remuneration to the occupier, and the means of making the same reproductive to him. The only question appears to be, by what mode can this be equitably and fairly carried into execu tion ? This may be difficult, but we think not im- __ ..... practicable ; the modus operandi may be fully matured before the month of November. We shall, on a future occasion, offer our suggestions as to the manner in which we think it may be effected. Madrid papers of the 15th have arrived. Their contents, however, have been anticipated in some measure by the arrival, by express, of the Madrid Gazette of the 16th and the receipt of a telegraphic dispatch of the 18th. This latter makes the impor tant announcement that the address of the Congress to the QUEEN has been voted unanimously except one vote-159 against 1. The Gazette of the 16th contains the QUEEN'S answer to the address of the Senate felicitating her MAJESTY on the double marriage, and also the follow ing official announcement of the quotations of Spanish funds on the Paris Bourse :—" We are enabled to announce that the Judicial Chamber of Paris has received orders from the French Government to quote on the Bourse the Three per Cents." The papers of the 15th state that Mr. BULWER had received dispatches from the English Government approving of his conduct in every particular, and giving him power to act for the future in any manner which he may deem ex pedient. He had a long interview with Senor ISTURITZ on the 14th, and it is said formally pro tested against the MONTPENSIER marriage, as con trary to the provisions of the treaty of Utrecht. Don ENRICO has also, it is said, formally protested against the marriage of the INFANTA. The military have now taken up the question, and are loud in their protests against the French alliance. The Eco del Comercio states that .'petitions to the Cortes against the marriage have been agreed to by the military of Madrid, of Jamarilla, and of Badsjoz. The petition from Jamarilla contains the following passage : " Madam,—The Infanta of Spain, the heir presump tive to the throne, is in the eyes of the Spanish people its second idol, and for that reason they wish her, as well as their Queen, to have for husband a Spanish Prince—a Prince who would render her happy, and would also contribute to that of all Spaniards. Madam, the signers to this petition, and those of whom they are the representatives, find in the Duke de Montpensier all the qualities of a good Prince, but they see with grief that he is not the most suitable for the hand of your august sister ; for, independently of the obstacle to be found in treaties which ought to be respected, and which will not permit a Prince of the House el Orleans to contract such an union, there exists, Madam, another and a more powerful reason, and that is the little sympathy which your people feel for anything which comes from France ; repugnances founded on the conviction that it was by that Power that the throne of Saint Ferdinand was trampled under foot, and that war and desolation were spread throughout unfortunate Spain. In fine, Madam, this aversion is founded on the fact of our now seeing around us the remains of thou tends of houses destroyed by the fires kindled by the hands of the descendants of Saint Louis ; and that we have still among us the sons of Spanish women who were violated by the French soldiery." NAuvaEz was expected in Madrid on the 15th. The Marquis DE SANTA Cauz, the Marquis DE POVAR, and Senor ARANA have been ordered to pro need to the frontier, to receive the Due DE MONT PENSIBR. The Carlists in Catalonia' have had several of their chiefs taken prisoners. FRAZOT DE CUBELLO, the Cures MoNssms and Rxmo, the two Geta.lNs, and others, have been captured by the authorities of Lerida ; and PEDRO TORRAS ELIAS and JAMES BARBOSA, are imprisoned at Balagues. They will be tried by a council of war. AIADIUD Boma., SEPT. I.s.—Three per Cents. 36, We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The escape of the Count DE MoNTEmoLix and CAIIRERA is treated by the Journal des Debats as an inconvenience, and nothing more, which may possibly give rise to some troubles, which, however, will be speedily put down. The Courrier Francais, which says the flight of CABRERA and the Count DE MONTEMOLIN is part of a vast plan, the authors of which are in England, thus argues on the effects likely to be produced by a Carlist rising in Spain :____ " Some journals are making a great noise about the proclamation of the Count de Montemolin. We per sist in thinking that the Carlist party has no longer a chance of success in Spain; but it is not the less true that it might, under existing circumstances, yet attempt a formidable diversion in favour of the Progres. sist party. It is very easy to give an ac count of the political situation of the Peninsula. The Progressist party had in its favour almost all the large cities, Madrid, Cadiz, Barcelona, with Saragossa at their head ; the middle classes, who, for the last five or six years, have put themselves very much forward, beyond the Pyrenees, constitute its principle strength, an invin cible power which sooner or later must prevail. It may be readily understood that industry and commerce have acquired the conviction that there is neither order nor stability possible under a retrograde Go vernment, a Government of intrigue and reaction, and which, from one thing to another, may exasperate Pub lic opinion, and impel it to pronunciamientos. What would then happen if Carlist pronunciamientos were again to break out in the north of Spain ? It would of necessity fatally happen—first, that the Cabinet of Ma drid would be obliged to deprive the principal cities of their most disciplined troops ; secondly, that the Pro gressist party would take advantage of such a complica tion to re-commence a struggle in which the Moderado party would evidently not have the advantage. The chances of this party would be worse, inasmuch as it is much divided in itself ; it would be in vain now to seek in the press and in the Cortes for those phalanxes of writers, generals, and functionaries who at the end c f ._ . . - , , ,_. s . ~, ~..,._ ~,,,v COI I•Li , .... , ~9' „ ~ ...,., t' ,l k .., f ---). : .. ) 44,4 ~;i,,... -k_..4--... - ~- . , € m a ,,„, -. 1 „. , .- .. 11. 5 . ...,, ', .1 .- • _ "... li, :.!.. u,... 44 111:111390;'t,' .1;ii?'; 'lto IT " .- r ',l ' m, . • ' THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY ,114 ffrAtiltff LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1846. MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1846 " The Count has, since his arrival, kept a very strict incognito, being denied even to his must de voted followers. General CARRERA. has, however, had an interview with the Ambassador of a European power. It is said that a proclamation, issued since that which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, and which has not yet been publicly circulated, has greatly disappointed the Exaltados, who look upon the courting of ESPARTERO as a dereliction of prin ciple. It is also said that ESPARTERO is exceedingly averse to enter again upon Spanish politics." According to the Presse, the Count will not appear in Spain until he has combined his plans with the Carlist chiefs, several of whom have also effected their escape from France. The Minister of Marine set off on Saturday to in spect the ports on the west coast of France. Such a visit has not been paid since the expedition against Algiers was fitting out in 1830. With regard to the marriage of the Duc DE MONT PENSIER, the Presse, in allusion to the protest said to hare been made against it, as contrary to the Treaty of Utrecht, devotes three columns to controverting this proposition, contending that the object of this treaty was mainly to prevent the King of FRANCE from being at the same time King of Spain, but not to prevent other members of his family from inherit ing the Spanish crown. It continues thus : " As far as regards England, we believe that, without doubt, it will be annoyed to see this affair (the mar riage) concluded ; but England is too reasonable and too prudent to endeavour, without any of j ct, to give it that opposition which the revolutionary parties in France and Spain expect, and patriotically solicit from the men now in power in that country. She is too reasonable to invoke the treaty of Utrecht against an event which in no way militates against that treaty, too prudent to break, for an object which assuredly she will not dare to avow, an alliance which has not been of less service to her than to us, and a peace which alone supports to-day her prosperity. England will, therefore, either be quiet, or will, at all events, merely protest as to the future. We are told that the rivality between France and England is about to re-commence. What! has that rivality ever ceased to exist? Is it not perma nent and universal? For our parts we prefer that it should be frank and avowed, rather than tortuous and con cealed, under the external appearance of affection the most false, as every one must now acknowledge that it has never ceased to be. We have been told that it would cost us dear, and that our Government will pay, by enormous concessions on other points, the tolerance which England may be pleased to show us on this occasion. For our parts we have no apprehensions of that kind, for the press and the Chambers are always ready to restrain in that respect the feelings which are supposed to actuate some of our statesmen. We shall take care that we shall not pay on one side what we get on the other. We are not, thank God, of those people who see nothing in the great act which our diplomatic agents have just ac complished but a matter of private interest to the Royal Family of France, but for the very reason that these interests are mixed up in the affair, it is important that the country should see that its own interests are not sacrificed." It will be perceived from this extract that the Presse no longer speaks in " the King CAMBYSES vein," in which it was wont to indulge with regard to England. It was reported in Paris that King Louis PHILIPPE had written a deprecatory letter of twelve pages to Queen VICTORIA, detailing the progress of the MONTPENSIER marriage, and praying her MA JESTY to acquiesce in it. The departure of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER is now fixed for the 26th. This postponement has taken place, it is said, in consequence of the arrival of a messenger from Madrid with a copy, of the instruc tions sent to Mr. BULWER by Lord PALMERSTON, a re port of what passed between Mr. BULWER and Senor ISTURITZ on communicating:those instructions, and dispatches from M. BRESSON, Queen CHRISTINA, and M. ISTURITZ. The France, the Legitimatist organ, which says that the Austrian Cabinet regards the Spa n i s h quest i on in precisely the sa me point of view as the English Go vernment, has the following as to the effect likely to be produced on the Spanish marriage question by the escape of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN " The departure from Bourges of the Prince, the suc cessor of Charles V., his proclamation full of the grand idea of the union of parties, and the arrival of Cabrera in England, complicate in the most serious manner the question of the Spanish marriages. Great events are on the eve of production on the other side of the Pyren6es, for all parties give unequivocal signs of discontent and disapprobation at the same moment that the entente eordiale between England and France is violently broken. 1 The Doctrinaire Government has thrown itself headlong into all this mess for the sake of a fine dowry and of a semblance of influence in Spain. This is a fine policy which displeases at once England, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, excites Spain against France, and defeats the treaty of quadruple alliance, without any other advantage besides bringing to Paris a Princess in possession of a large dowry." The Funds continue to fall. The Three per Cents. were done on Sunday in the Passage de l'Opera at 83f. 85e. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 16.—Marseilles and Avignon, 947 f. 50c. ; Northern, 732 f. 50c.

A ROBBERY FRUSTRATED THROUGH FEAR.----The Excise -office connected with the Loehrin distillery in Gilmore-place was surreptitiously entered on Wednesday evening last, by means of breaking some panes of glass in one of the windows. Having gained admittance in this way to the outer apartment of the office, the thieves next forced open two doors, which enabled them to get across to a room in which some boxes, containing wear ing apparel an d other articles, were deposited. These they appear to have at once removed to the outer room; and, while looking about to see if anything else could the added to the plunder which they had collected, before :raking their exit they would seem to have been attracted by a large package, securely wrapped up, and appa rently- placed with great care in a quiet nook of the apartment. Curious to know what was in it, they im mediately unloosed the cords and unfolded the sheetinr, when, to their extreme horror and alarm, the pale visage of a human form was revealed. Without waiting another moment, th e y appeared to have darted out or the window, perfectly t error - stricken at the s i g h t, leav ing all their booty behind. I t turns out t h at w h at ex• cited their alarm was the model of a statue, which an artist had left for safety with some of the officials con nected wsth the distillery, while he was on a short tour on the continent.—Scotsman. THE TURKISH FLEET.--SALONICA, SEPT. 3.—The Capudan Pacha, with the Turkish fleet, consisting of three three deckers, two frigates, six brigs, two schooners, two cutters, and one steamer, entered ti i i port on the Ist iustaut. 1843 overthrew M. Olozaga, and compelled MM. Con , tina, Serrano, Madoz, and Lopez to retire from the political arena. The most eminent, most respected, and most popular members of the Moderado party, MM. ' Pacheco, Manuel Concha, &e., now form an ardent opposition to the small number of intrigans who have entrenched themselves behind the Government. The moment will arrive, and sooner perhaps than is ex pected, when the Puritan f rac ti on o f t h e M udcrado party will make common cause with the Progressist party. And then, if the north of Spain is in a flame through a Carlist insurrection, and if England should make the slightest demonstration on the coasts, what means has the Camarills to resist such a formidable coalition? Let reaction, infatuated by its easy triumphs, blindly enter without looking back on the fatal path into which it is impelled by personal ambition. We believe we know something about Spain, and we affirm that Maria Christina might be one day or another as easily and as rapidly got rid of as was ispartero in 1843. Maria Christina no longer re members certain nights at La Granja, and days of Sep tember at Barcelona; she wants another fall, after which there would be no longer any possibility of return fur that evil genius of Spain whose influence has never been hitherto marked but by catastrophes and revolutions. It may now be understood how a party so discredited as the Carlists may strike a decisive blow in Spain. This party can do nothing for itself'; and one must be the Gazette de France itself, or, in other words, be entirely ignorant of the existing ideas a.d feelings of Spain, to believe that the intelligent part of the population—those, in fact, who change the political face of a kingdom, can rally; round the Count de Monternolin. Nevertheless, in whatever discredit it may be, the Carlist party will not the less give the signal for a struggle in which all the advantage will infallibly turn on the side of the rrogressist party. Nothing is assuredly more natural than that the Progressist party should take advantage of the movement; but for us, who under every circum ' stance like candid and frank situations, we should see with regret a formal accord establish itself between both parties, between the soldiers of the ancient regime and those of the constitution of 1837. The Progressists have Spain in their favour, they could riot in any way enter into a compact with the men who for seven years so deeply desolated her. We have a firm hope that Spanish liberalism will come out victorious from the crises which are announced; it is important that in the day of triumph it should again find entire that authority of principles, in virtue of which it now claims a future." CABRERA, who it is said, embarked on board an English schooner which had been for two days hover ing off the French coast, arrived in London on Friday, and was joined on Sunday by the Count DE MONTE MOLIN. The following intelligence on this subject is from the respectable correspondent of a morning paper:— " General CARRERA arrived in London on Friday evening, and the Count DR MONTENIOLIN, who had been expected on Saturday, reached town on Sunday morning. SPAIN. (From the Times.) The Royal Children all went out this afternoon in the pleasure grounds of the Castle. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening will include her Majesty the Queen Dowager, her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen, Viscount Palmerston, the Lady in Waiting on the Queen Dowager, the Countess Haack (in attendance on the Princess of Prussia), Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Baroness de Speth, the Earl of Denbigh, Viscount Clifden, Lord Edward Howard, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Count Puckler and Count Witzleben (in attendance on the Princess of Prussia), and Colonel Wylde. The band of the Life Guards attend during dinner. Her Majesty's private band will afterwards attend in the Castle. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, attended by the Countess Haack, the Earl of Denbigh, and Count Puckler, left Marlborough House, at eight o'clock, yes terday morning, for Cashiobury Park, Herts, the resi dence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. A deputation, headed by the Marquis of Sligo and the Earl of Lucan, had an interview with Lord John Rus sell yesterday, at his official residence, in Downing str eet. The Earl of Powis had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office. Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister, trans acted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. A deputation from the General Ship Owners Society, consisting of Mr. Duncan Dunbar, chairman ; Mr. George F. Young, deputy-chairman ; Mr. William C. Harnett, Mr. J. L. Heathorn, and Mr. N. W. Symonds, had an interview with the Earl of Clarendon yesterday, at the Office of the Board of Trade. The Attorney-General had an interview yesterday with Sir George Grey at the Home-office. Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday, from his seat, Broadlands, Hants. ENFIELD AND EDMONTON RAILWAY. The first ordinary meeting of the shareholders of the Enfield and Edmonton Railway Company took place yes terday at the London Tavern, the Act for incorporating the company having become law, and requiring that the first ordinary meeting should take place within two months after its passing. Captain Owen took the chair at half-past twelve o clock, and the preliminaries of a first meeting having been gone through, The SECRETARY then read the report, from which the following are extracts:—" The first steps taken by the provisional directors on promoting the undertaking was to place themselves in communication with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on the subject of their assent to it, and with regard to the co-operation and support they might expect from that company. In re plying to the application of the provisional directors the Eastern Counties Company expressed their readiness to support any Bill promoted by an independent company for making the proposed branch, and their desire, when the company should be incorporated, to make the best practicable arrangements for working the branch, and accommodating the traffic, and sutssquently that company repeated their anxiety to give the Enfield Company their cordial support, and to afford every assistance and co-operation in forwarding the measure through Parliament. With these assurances the provisional directors felt justified in prosecuting the BilLEstimates were made by Mr. Borthwick and Mr. Ste phenson, which were fixed at 36,0001., which formed the capital of the company, and which was divided into 1,800 shares of 201. each, of which number 525 Aar( s were sub scribed for by the Eastern Counties Railway Company. After a fruitless opposition, the Bill was car ried at a small expense to the shareholders. The original intention of the Company was to cross the turnpike-road at Lower Edmonton on a level, but this intention being strongly opposed by the Metropolis Roads Commissioners, the engineer suggested a diversion of the present turnpike-road, and the rail way would now be crossed by a bridge at the rear, instead of the front, of the houses on the line of the present turnpike road. This arrangement had met with the sanction of the Metropolitan Commis sioners. After paying their :Parliamentary agents and solicitors sums of money on account, the directors had a balance in the hands of their bankers of 2,0661. 4s. 9d. The report of the directors, on the motion of Mr. T. Bralsford, seconded by Mr. Richardson, was unani mously received, adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated among the proprietors. Mr. SMALL, in moving the re-election of the present directors, complimented them on the economy they had exercised, in obtaining the Act, and stated his belief of that economy being unexampled in the history of railway companies, especially one in which they had met with such unexpected opposition as the pr( sent. Mr. RICHARDSON having seconded the re-election of the directors, the motion was declared to be carried I unanimously. On the motion of Mr. Smale, seconded by Mr. now it was unanimously resolved, that 250/. a year be appro. priated to the directors. Mr. Dow and Mr. Chambers were appointed auditors, with a remuneration of ten guineas each a year. Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors, and the meeting broke up. .001' DROWNED.—On Monday evening an inquest was held before W. Baker, Esq., at the Bunch of Grapes, Broad-street, Ratcliff, on the body of John Digby, a boy aged ten years. James Winn deposed that he and an other boy were with the deceased on the Thames in a boat on Sunday afternoon, about half-past four. The deceased had his hands against a barge pushing the boat off, when he lost his balance and fell into the river. Charles Bigg, a Waterman, stated that having been told a boy had fallen into the water, he went to his assist ance ; but as he had disappeared he could not recover him without the aid of the drags, and as there wer e i • ie near, to his kno w l e d ge , h e pulled across the river to obtain those which are kept there, and immediately re turned and succeeded in bringing the boy to the surface. He was quite dead. The boy had been under water 20 minutes or so. He felt quite sure that if there had been drags near the spot he could have saved the boy's life. The jury considered it very desirable that drags should be kept at the " New England Lighthouse," and the Coroner said he would write to the Humane Society on the subject. Verdict—" Accidental Death." Loss OF MAIL BAGS.—On the arrival of the mail cart from the Swindon station on Sunday morning, it was found that the bag containing the I. tters, &c., for Aldermaston, and other places around here, was missing. Immediately the man was dispatched Exec to snake inquiries, when no tidings could be had of the samr. Several large dealers were at the Hind's Ilead Aldermaston, awaiting the mail, which should arrive at ten o'clock, when it did not arrive till one o'clock, and then without the letters and papers so anxiously looked for. It is feared the loss will be severely felt, as to: morrow (Monday) being the g; eat Reading horse, beast, and cheese fair, many of the large cattle dealers stop at this place, Aldermaston, the day before, it being ten miles only from the fair. At this . place the stock rest, and money, with orders, are transmitted to the dealers. Sir Howard Elphinstone and party, and Captain Macdonald and party, left Blackwall on Sunday in the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho, ft 4 ()stmt. MADRID, SEPT. 16. The Infante Don Enrique had addressed to the Presidents of both Chambers of the Legislature a protest against the marriage of the Infanta Luisa with the Duke de Montpensier. He had done so as a mem ber of this royal family:of Spain, and as such interested in the question of the eventual succession to the throne, decreed to his family by the constitution, in case of the failure of direct issue from the daughters of Ferdinand the Seventh. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Madrid, 18th in stant, announces that the Cortes adopted on that day, unanimously, with the exception of one vote, (159 to 1), the address in reply to the message from the Queen. It was believed in Paris that the Duke de Broglie was about to leave for London on a mission from the French Government. The departure of the Duke de Montpensier was said to be fixed for Saturday. The appearance of the English fleet at Cadiz on the 11th was the principal cause of the fall in French securities. =PARIS, SEPT. 21.—Three per Cents., awed on *a Paris Bourse at 83t. 75c. 25c. ; the Five per Cents., 118 f. 45c. 10c. ; Spanish Domestic Debt, 33k ; the Orleans Railroad S'iares, 1,275 f.; Rouen, 955 f. ; Havre, 7151. ; Vierzon, 627 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux, 560 f. ; Great Northern. 732 f. 50c. 720 f. ; Stras burg, 500 f.; Tours and Nantes, 5051 ; Lyons, 5221. 50c.

The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was kept up with considerable animation both by the trade and speculators. Sales estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken on speculation. Prices were fully supported to a slight advance. The sales consist of 1,500 Surat, at 31d. to 4id. ; GOO Egyptian, at 61d. to 711 ; and American, 41d. to sd.—Shares were not active. The Overland Mail brings more favourable accounts respecting the condition of the money and mercantile markets, although the political intelligence from the Seikh territory is of a somewhat less tranquil tenor. As respects the very decided movement making here for the abolition of the salt monopoly, there is a point of view, independent of that, affecting the comfort of the poorer class of consumers in India, which concerns greatly the mercantile community in England. We al lude to the employment which the transport of the article will afford to British shipping. An eminent merchant ire tf : " When we regard an article so adapted for the pre sent exigencies of the British shipowner as an outward cargo, and consider that, were India to draw her supplies from this country, employment would be afforded British shipping to the extent of 165,000 tons annually, I certainly think the present bonding system for salt now in force in Calcutta, whereby this would be ef fected, resolves itself into a question that concerns the shipping as much as, if not more than the salt ma nufacturer's interests; and no exertions, no means, should be spared to effect an object so desirable to the shipping and commercial intercourse of this country. " Tice requirements of export tonnage to Great Britain direct considerably exceed the number that arrive out straigl t from this country; the difference that have been dispatched hence with outward cargoes to Australia, Ceylon, Bombay, Singapore, and other ports in the east ern seas, and which are induced to proceed up, seeking home freight from Calcutta on account of the higher rates and quicker dispatch generally to be met with at the seat of the Bengal Presidency, but which would all have proceeded out to Calcutta direct had it been pos sible to have procured a profitable and remunerat i ve outward cargo. The disposition in London and Liverpool to speculate in corn and cotton makes money a little tighter here, without any actual pressure, however, as the private firms cannot greatly enhance their rates while the Bank of England acts liberally in accommodating the mercan tile community. The Portuguese Bondholders' Committee have deter mined upon memorialising the Government of Donna Maria upon the subject of the mulcting process so shamefully attempted with the foreign creditors, and we only hope that if the memorial does not meet with proper attention, there will be such a public meeting as will convince the Lisbon insolvents that they may try their game of chicanery " once too often." There are many large capitalists here who feel so highly indignant at the scurvy treatment experienced after the many sa- 1 crifices they have made, that they would probably not be i slow to revenge themselves by making a loan in aid of the Miguelites. The ingratitude of the Portuguese Go vernment could scarcely be too harshly repaid, little as we should feel disposed to approve of this course. The Public Securities have been flat and declining again. Consols are 951 for present Transfer, and 95- for Account. Exchequer-bills are I Is. to 14s. ' premium. South Sea Stock is 1051. The Foreign Investments are heavy likewise. Mexican have declined to 244, owing to the question mooted as to whether in the event of Santa Anna again attaining his former position, he will be disposed to recognise the last new arrangement of the debt. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26e 1; and the Three per Cents. 371,3, being rather steady. Brazil Bonds have been 89k, and Peruvian, 37. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 594.
