When we felt it to be our duty to expose the sys tem of misgovernment in the Channel Islands, and to trdce the numerous instances of oppression and injustice in our possession to their true source, we quite made up our minds to be subjecteci to attacks from various quarters—to have our veracity im peached—our information questioned---our motives I slandered and maligned. There is no man who has not some friends who will valiantly struggle in his behalf, who will strain every nerve, exert every energy, in his defence, and when he is at length brought to condign punishment, will lament and deplore his misfortunes. The most blood-thirsty tyrant that ever existed had persons to bewail his fall. So it has ever been, and so in all human probability it ever will be. What has thus been said of a single person may, a fortiori, be predicated of a body of men, each of whom will have his own friends and supporters, all of them ready to applaud a s ystem by which much power is given to their fri ends, who at least will support them ; and they may have some some slight hope of one day attainin g to similar power themselves, and becoming the centres of ad miring circles, who will look up to, and fawn on, and flatter them in their turns. No important changes in the laws of a country can ever be brought round without much exasperation and acerbity being felt by persons interested in the maintenance of things as they are ; and the more crying at e the grievances, the more glaring the enormities perpe trated thereunder, with so much the more virulence will they be defended, and their opponents libelled and calumniated. It has not therefore surprised us to find that what we had ex pected has come to pass, and that the defence of the Royal Court of Guernsey has been taken up by some of the island newspapers, whose editors are sufficiently alive to the value of the pro tection that may be afforded to them by that Court, the necessity for which may be judged from the fact that one of those very editors was tried so lately as the month of April last for attempting to excite sedition among the militia, on which occasion, we be lieve, he received the full benefit of that friendliness on the part of his judges. It is but a slight return for that protection, imperatively demanded by gratitude, for him to praise in the strongest terms the wholesomeness of the laws, and the admirable manner of their administration, to cry out against our En glish Courts, and to speak of " the injustice of those who would thrust upon them British laws, British usages, and British customs." We confess that we do think that the writer in that journal would have much cause to regret such a change. It is very pos sible that if British laws were extended to Guernsey, and administered by a British judge, he might not find for the future that protection he has hitherto enjoyed, and which, to judge from the style and tenor of his article—where coarse and vulgar personality takes the place of reasoning, and where the strength of his argument consists in the virulence of his abuse—is so essentially necessary to his future impunity. It is not to be supposed that we should condescend to answer the foul-mouthed invectives contained in this scurrilous publication, or that we should suffer it to attain the degree of notoriety which it would receive if we were to follow its various statements, and to expose the Vacies con tained therein. It sometimes commences by giving a paragraph containing one of the cases we have mentioned, which, in its own peculiarly gentlemanly style, it designates as being "quite in the style and taste of the writer—a tissue of falsehood from first to last." It then professes to give the true facts of the case, from which, although coloured and distorted, it becomes perfectly manifest that our statement wac•• substantially accurate and correct in every pir ticular. We have made no charge save on the strongest and most satisfactory evidence. We cannot doubt but that the cases to which we have alluded will be brought forward before the Commissioners appointed to investigate into the mode of the adminis tration of the law in the Channel Islands, and that it will then be found that we have, if anything, rather understated the facts. We have not set down aught in malice, but with the strongest conviction of the necessity that exists for the expo sure of a system so defective and unjust in all its particulars, so incompatible with public liberty, and partial in its operation towards such of our fellow countrymen as happen to reside within its sphere of action. Until the time comes we can easily rest satisfied on the established character of our journal against any charge of want of veracity which may be brought against us by such an opponent. The most pitiable exhibition, however, is made where the writer attempts to justify the conduct of the Court in the case of the advocate who was found guilty, without extenuating circumstances, of having stabbed an Eng lishman. Will it be believed that the defence brought forward is, that the affair was purely accidental and unintentional, and that it was so sworn by the pro secutor, and yet that the punishment was of the weightiest description ? If this be the fact, have we brought forward anything which tells with such fearful farce against the Court as that asserted by its friend, viz., that they convicted a gentleman of so serious an offence, adding thereto that it was committed without extenuating circumstances, in fact without provoca tion of any kind, and that they sentenced him there fore to two months' imprisonment, when it was clearly established that the act was purely accidental and unintentional ? We really feel that this is one of the most serious charges yet brought against the Court, if well founded. We shall not, however, make any charge which is based on no better authority than that of the writer in question; we shall, therefore, refrain from any further comment thereon. We feel that some apology is due to the other parties for at ail joining their names with the person to whom we have alluded ; for, whatever are the errors in their statements and contradictions, they are, at least, put forward in a more gentlemanly manner, and with some degree of acquaintance with the courtesies of civilised society. Mr. Ls Maim UANT'S letter was written in the language of a gentleman, and we hesitated not to give it insertion tl:e day we received it, but at the same time we felt it necessary to expose its fallacies in such a manner that we do nu: think that gentleman will speedily rush to arms in defence of his friends. Another writer questions the truth of a small part of our statements, leaving the greater portion wholly untouched, and thereby, as we stated in 11r. LE MARCTIANT'S case, admitting the general accuracy of that which he has not ventured to contradict, and charitably supposes that we have been duped by false statements. To him we shall only say, that contradiction is no argument, and that time will establish the perfect and entire accuracy of our information. We shall only add that we shall nut be deterred from fearlessly per forming our duty as public journalists by any de greeot *ituperation or calumny directed towards ourselves. We cannot but regard the Teenernce Parlia mentary holidays as a moot retr eshi e rig and rating arrangement for o u r Legislative Council.invig°- affords both the Representatives and P eers an It oppor tunity f or forethou g ht ; it g i ves a wholesome breath ing -time to the Ministry ; and, by so doing, ensures the advantage of mature deliberation—a characteristic most necessary for the healthy continuance of Go vernment. What is the more especially required in a national conclave of lawmokers is that mens sana which can alone enable them to discriminate between what is judicious and what fallacious: and the Roman has already insinuated that the mens sana is scarcely attainable without the corpore aano. of the . session pos inferential as well as s i e - :s h s e , c c o a u s s u e a q l Uen h tl o y i : dayans anin perchance, have ; they pu rif y the blood, which may, muddiedstor m with of d a i n s infusion ussio n ; of a bilious charac h t a e; e d b u e r e in n g the rtheseoylutteendintothreeinrdaedrhtehreenl3c'emtpohpartiicnemipalree; a a n n i d ni t l e ted y and resolute in their adherence to principle; and they en able the Members of the Lower House to interchange explanations with their constituencies wherever those explanations may on either side appear desirable. During the present session—the great session of the Peel Administration—we have, however, looked upon the interposition of these holidays as peculiarly bone- 1 fieial for the cause of justice and the appreciation of truth. The accidental position of debate has, moreover, so happily accorded with their arrival, as • to present to us two remarkable instances of fortuitous good fortune. Precisely when the Commons had proceeded to such an advanced stage of discussion upon the commercial measures which have engaged their attention during the greater por tion of the past four, months, that a momentary pause was requisite to many minds before comini tting themselves to the responsibilities attached to a final vote—the Easter holidays transpired. Here lea* the hiatus most yearned for—here was a natural inter regnum of meditation, and one, too, which could scarcely be presumed to agitate those who, out of doors, were chiefly anxious fur a speedy set tlement of the question—because the delay was on e of ordinary routine ; it was as little to be cavilled at as the whole holiday of Saturday and the half-holiday of Wednesday every week. What were the latent consequences of good resulting from the Easter recess it is impossible, of course, to calculate to a nicety; but the division which followed the subsequent meeting of Parliament—the majority •of ninety-eight—showed clearly enough that benefit aid accrue from the habitual adjournment. It enabled the wavering to bring their opinions to an equilibrium, to judge from the past, to infer for the future, and to decide definitively, calmly, and absolutely, for the present. Various circumstances testified, likewise, in an open and more appreciable manner, the advisability of such benificent intervals of repose : the acknowledged conversion of the Earl of ESSEX from an enthusiastic protectionist to a still more en thusiastic free-trader—the dispatch and reception of petitions from various influential bodies in different quarters of the kingdom—the refusal of Mr. COBDEN to assist at public demonstrations in favour of the Ministerial policy, because he regarded them as essen tially superfluous ;—these and a number of similar occurrences tended to illustrate the advantages arising from Parliamentary holidays, and also to mature the thinking portion of the Commons in their mode of considering the great question at issue, previously to a division upon the third reading. What is poisonous to a Lord is equally poisonous to a Com moner, and what is nutritious to a Commoner is equally nutritious to a Lord. Hence it is that we consider the Whitsuntide recess, which has already commenced under precisely analogous circumstances to the Upper House as the Easter to the Lower, is a coincidence in all respects of a fortunate character. For one thing, it would be utterly futile to grumble at the fact of the procrastination, because it is a constitutional procrastina tion, and one, therefore, not likely to be interfered with by all the grumbling in the universe. So much for the social Mawwoasas and the political SCROOGES. Public time is all very pre cious, is all but invaluable, it is true ; but the health, and by inference the healthy judgment of our legisla tors, is equally necessary for the continuance of na tional prosperity. It is only those who are agitating for a diseased and unwholesome policy who would precipitate its adoption in either House of Parliament, surrounded by the promptings of party, of personal pique, or of petty political prejudices. Excitement, whether for or against, must by necessity blurr the judgment. It is by a happy coincidence, therefore, that the last division of the Peers is preluded by Whitsuntide. Accounts from Beyrout of the 16th ult. state that the question of Lebanon has been satisfactorily arranged, and that CHERIB EFFENDI end EMIR PASHA were about to return to Constantinople. The territorial tax is to be assessed in the manner prac tised under the former Administration. The Exe cutive power in each of the caimacans is to be exer cised by a divan, or council, in which every class of the population is to have a representative. A riot occurred in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, at Jerusalem, on Good Friday, between the priests of the Greek and Latin Churches. The Latin fathers repaired in precession to Golgotha to adore the cross. The Greeks had, however, previously obtained pos session of the chapel, and denied their admittance. After some altercation the two parties came to blows, and the Governor of Jerusalem at length int9rfered to preserve peace, and ordered a Turkish regiment to clear the place. Syria was perfectly tranquil. The Cologne Gazette announces that during the course of the present month the King of PRUSSIA will make known his views on the subject of a constitu tion to the Members of the Provincial States, and that the royal propositions will, some time in the course of the autumn, be submitted for discussion to a General Convocation of the States, to be assembled in Berlin. It is stated in a Berlin letter that 30 noblemen of Posen had met at the Archbishop's palace to consider the propriety of addressing the KING to im plore his clemency for the Polish prisoners. inas much, however, as the parties were desirous of not committing themselves by writing to any opinion on the subject of the late insurrection, it was determined that the Archbishop should wait upon the KING, and per sonally implore his MAJESTY'S clemency for the pri soners. The KING, it is stated, very graciously com plimented M. DE PRZYLUSIII on his arrival at Potsdam, and immediately invited him to dinner, without, however, granting him a private audience, or speaking to him of the particular object of his journey. It would appear from this, that the Monarch !‘does not approve of this sort of intervention. Nevertheless, the Archbishop set out again for Berlin, and presented, on the 18th ult., a written petition to the KING, which was accepted. Madrid papers of the 25th ult. have arrived. A Cabinet Council was held on the 23d in the QUEEN'S presence. The state of the negotiation with the POPE is stated to have been the subject discussed, and a courier was dispatched the next day to Rome with dispatches, stated to contain propositions calcu lated to facilitate an arrangement. The report of the assassination of RUBIN DE CELTS is contradicted. General VILLALONGA has been ordered to station a corps of observation at Orense, and the steamer Isabel 11. has been sent to Lisbon to protect the Spanish residents in that city. The accounts from all the provinces of Spain continuo to be satisfactory. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 25th at 33i for cash ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 396 ; and those of Isabel, at 200. The official list observes, that al though only one operation in the Three per Cent". was quoted at 334, that stock had solo' at 33 13-16 for call), with a tendency to rise. The Five per Cents. were done at 20i 'I; the Passives at 6i ; and the Coupons at 20k. r We have received the Paris papers of 1% idAy and Saturdly. M. GUIZOT, on Fri,ay, obtained a fresh triumph in the Chamber of Deputies, which rejected by a majority of 220 to 147, an amendment proposed by M. OTILON BARRoT, fur a reduction in the amount of the Secret Service Funds for the Minister of the Interior of 10,000 francs. In the course of the debate, M. TRIERS renewed his attack upon the Government, and through the Government attacked the KING himself, taking as his text his own famous maxim :—" Le Rui refine et ne gouverne pas. He was replied to by M. GUIZOT, and the conflict between these two eminent orators is thus described by the Presse "The sole interest of the sitting was in the single combat between M. Thiers and M. Guizot. M. Thiers being wounded by words which fell from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in which he fancied he recognised a feeble echo of attacks made upon him by the Debuts on the occasion of Lecomte's attempt upon the King, wished to protest against insinuations which he con sidered not only as personal, but against the freedom of speech in the tribune. If he had confined himself to expressing his indignation at a polemic into which his name was introduced, he would not have incurred the least blame; for the whole Chamber appeared to have but .me opinion on the impropriety of these attacks. He, however, enlarged upon his famous maxim—the King reigns but governs not. M. Guizot succeeded him upon the same thesis, and obtained an immense success. The Minister of Foreign Affairs evidently touched the true ecanooidnec morela declaring thatthisd principl e o f constitutional government, and never was it expounded lp magnificent isc l u a s n s gu ion ag is to b language, Still, d tili eep w ly e regretted. Such theses cannot be entered upon without danger either in the press or in the Chambers. When a month ago we declined meddling in co • ntroversi es of this nature, which then occupied the journals, we con ceived we were acting with a wise prudence. From the svne motive we now abstain from all comment upon the debate of yesterday—a debate which was replete with eloquence, but which it is not right to prolong." ~ The question is decided," says the Epoque. i, The Chamber has passed sentence: M. Thiers, the Live heir of the Ministry, as M. Blichard desig natedpresump in so picturesque a manner, will not yet in herit him ssion he is so anxious to enjoy : 221 votes herit a stlece d that the Government had declaredone to 147 have not hing to forfeit the confidence of th e country. Thus, after tra versing two Legislature s an d six Parliamentary s e ssions —after surmounting the diffi culties to which i t owed its origin, and those that s i nce a-use, and continu i n g office double the time o f any in Cabinet of the 29th of October, • 1830—the Ministry sinceof its force, credit, and lost any „ , so far from baying t d in rani ament by one of vitality, finds itself supported _ by any Administration the largest majorities obtai , n 3 d outof 367 voters." " The during the last 16 years— ' may now choose between country," adds the Epoque, ' the two rival systerw,—the syste m pur sued during the the system held last six years by the Goveroiliest, and THE SU'lst, LONDON, TUESDAY„ MORNING, JUNE 2, 1846. but to us by the Opposition. The country is now well acquainted with both. The Conservative policy is no kriger a mere theory ; the country has %itnessed its effects ; it knows what it has produced and what it is likely to produce ; it enjoys the blessings it has be stowed—a glorious and fruitfill peace, tranquillity, liberty, wealth, and progressive amelioration, at home ; abroad, force, grandeur, and security, and prosperity everywhere.' " The 4th of June is fixed for the commencement of the trial of LECOMTS, who will be defended by M. DUVERGIER, the battunier of the Parisian bar. Forty witnessess have been summoned on the trial. The Journal des Dibats, of Friday, publishes the following particulars of the escape of Prince Louis NAPOLEON : "On leaving his apartment, at seven o'clock A. 31., the Prince was dressed as a workman, and carried under his arm a shelf of his own library. He had taken the pre ciution of shaving off his mustachios and whiskers, which made it impossible to recognise him. A cabriolet was writing outside the town, and he got into it with his servant- man, who, being well known to the inhabitants of Ham, had made a long circuit to meet him. The Prince proceeded directly to St. Quen tin, where he took a post-chaise, and immediately left for Valenciennes. He paid the postillions liberally, re commending them to drive as fast as possible, being desirous to overtake a rich Englishman, who was going to Brussels. He reached Valencientus at half-past two o'clock, stopped there an instant, and asked the post master if he would consent to keep his carriage, his in tention being to continue his journey to Brussels by the railway and to return in a few days. Having received a reply in the affirmative, Prince Louis, without waiting until his servant had settled his account, repaired by a back street to the station of the railroad, and departed by the first train. He must have arrived at Brussels in the evening of the 25th, the day of his escape." In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Prince DE LA MOSKOWA asked what information the Ministers had received respecting the massacre of 300 French prisoners by ADD-EL-KADER ? None of the mem bers of the Cabinet were present, and the Prince gave notice that he should repeat his question. In the same sitting the Chamber received the reports of the Committees on the Bordeaux and Cette, the Cen tral and the Western Railway Bills. The Journal des Chemins de Fer announces that the Northern Railroad would positively be opened on the 14th inst. A report had prevailed during several days on the Paris Bourse, that the Avignon and Marseilles Railroad Company was under the necessity of negotiating a loan to complete the line. The loan, according to that journal, was to be applied to the construction of the branch to Aix, which had been conceded to the company, and the 20,000,000 f. subscribed and paid was more than sufficient to ter minate the principal road. It was considered pro bable that the Dijon and Mulhausen Railway Bill would not pass the Chamber of Peers this session. The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railroad dur ing the week ending on the 26th ult. amounted to 171,2741., or 31,000 f. more than in the corresponding week of 1845 ; those of the Paris and Rouen line, during the same period, were 151,6631., or 18,000 f. more than last year. The Paris Bourse on Saturday wore a sonsewltat different aspect from that which it presented during many preceding days. An express had arrived with the division of the Lords on the Corn Bill, and al though qualified by the declaration of war by Ame rica against Mexico, it caused a sensible improvement in stock. Sl3ares, generally speaking, participated in the upward movement. The Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 25c.; the Five per Cents., at 119 f. 85c ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,247 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,020 f. ; Havre, 750 f.; Great Northern, 745 f.; Avignon, 880 f.; Vierz, n, 6321.50 c.; Bordeaux, 615 f.; Boulogne, 487 f. 50c.; Troyes and Montereau, 380 f. ; Basle, 217 f. 50c.; Dieppe, 415 E; Paris and Strasburgh, 5051.; Tours and Nantes, 515 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 543 f. 750 ; Spanish Ac tives, 321 ; Ditto, Three per Cents, 381. The following are the quotations in the new lines: Lyons and Avignon, Definitives, 5171. 50c.; Bor deaux and Cette, 508 f. 75c.

We are given to understand that an unusual degree of splendour will be displayed in this work, the principal part of the costumes having been made in Paris. Baron Brunow and suite arrived in London, at an early hour, yesterday morning, by the General Steam Navi gation Company's mail-packet, Caledonia, Captain H. W. Gibbs, from Hamburg. . Q Prince Charles d e ,chwargenberg left London on Saturday morning by the General Steam Navigation Coal pany's ship Princess Royal, for Hamburg, en route to Vienna' Baroness Paldert and Captain Cardigan were among the passengers that arrived in London on Saturday afternoon by the Sir Edward Banks, from Ostend. THE CoLosszuar.—Among the most favourite places of amusement is the Colosseum, the powers of attraction of which still continue undiminished. On several recent occa sions, when we have visited it, we have found it crowded both in the morning and the evening. A stranger, visiting London, should pay his first visit to the Colosseum. It fur nishes him with an admirable carte du pays. OPENING OF THE SOUTH DEVON LINE FROM EXETER TO TEIGN3IOUTIL—The South Devon line of railway from Exeter to Teignmouth, was opened to the public on Saturday last. The railway consists of a single line of rail only, and is intended to be worked on the atmospheric principle; as, however, the apparatus is not quite complete, it is for the present worked by locomotives. The scenery along the line of the South Devon is the most picturesque in the world, and we doubt not but that, during the course of the summer, excursions to Teignmouth will become quite po pular. The directors and officers of the company were pre sent. The weather was brilliant, and riot the slightest contre temps occurred to mar the pleasure of the day. The Duke of Wellington left A psley House on Satur day afternoon, to pass the Whitsun recess at Strathfieldsaye, where his Grace will entertain a small circle, and return to town on Wednesday. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is expected to honour the Noble and Gallant Duke with his company at dinner at his Grace's annual Waterloo banquet on the 18th instant. Lord Stanley has recovered from the effects of a cold under which he was suffering at the latter end of last week. We have the gratification to announce that Lady Louvain war safely delivered of a son and heir, on Friday las , , at the family mansion, in Charles-street, Berkeley square. t.ord and Lady Vaux, of Harrozvden, have arrived in Wilton-cresent, from C aighton Court, Warwickshire. _ _ The Cambridge papers state that the lien. and Rev. G. N. Grenville, M.A., who has been appointed to the deanery of Windsor ' has no intention of resigning the ma•ter.,hip of Magdalene College, Cambridge, as there is no law to prevent the two offices being held by one person, very short residence on the part of the Dean being required at Cambridge. PRINCE LOGJfi NAPOLEON.—We are given to under stand that Prince Louis Napoleon intends to quit England for Florence in the course of the ensuing week, there to join his invalid father, whose health is rapidly on the decline. The Prince, since his arrival here, on Wednesday last, has preserved the strictest incognito. Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte wag amongst the promenaders in St. James's-street, on Saturday. COAL FOR THE METROPOLIS —A correspondent in forms us that if the Midland Railway Company obtain their Acts now before Parliament (and which they are likely to do, there being no opposition to them) for new lines and branches in Nottinghamshire, a great deal of coal will be sent from the pits in that county (that are already open and others to be opened) to the metropolis. The coal, too, in that locality is, generally speaking, very good. Let us have "free trade" in coal as well as other things. SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—GLOUCESTER. FRIDAY.—The town of Newnham, about twelve miles from Gloucester, wasthrown intoconsternation on Wednesday last, by a most extraordinary suicide and attempt to murder com mitted by Mr. John Knowles, of the above town. On Wed nesday afternoon Mr. Knowles went into the shop of Mr. Morse, the postmaster; Mrs. Morse put out her hand for Mr. Knowles to shake, but instead of doing so, he took up a mallet used for breaking sugar, and struck her a blow on the forehead, which felled her to the ground. The shopman seized him by the arms behind, and, while in this position, Knowles contrived to open a razor, which he had concealed in his breast, and, drawing it across his throat, he fell to the ground, and died shortly afterwards. The deceased was a . respectacle shopkeeper at Newnham, and no motive is assigned for his extraordina r y conduct. The general opinion is that he was labouring under insanity. Mrs. Morse is recovering. DREADFUL STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION IN SCOTLAND. —An awful accident took place on Thursday. The steamer Finn, Maccoull, left Wigtown at twelve o'clock for Liverpool, and on the passage called at Grtrliestown for goods, and when just loosing the rope to leave the quay the boiler burst, and the under engineer and one firemen were killed, and the head engineer and two men were dreadfully scalded, and are not expected to live, None of the uassengers were injured. The boiler burst at the bottom; if it had burst at the top there is no saying what amount of lives might have been lost. The steam had just been shut off about one minute before the ac cident took place, and the poor fellows had to lie in the en gine -room upwards of five minutes before assistance could be got, on account of the great quanti.y of steam and dust. THE BELGIAN CORN -LAW.—The Belgian Govern ment, who suspended the corn-law of that country before our Ministers had begun seriously to entertain the question, have now, we learn, determined to continue the admission of grain and rice duty free till the Ist of October, instead of closing the ports on the Ist of June, as had been intended.—Man cheater Guardian. NATIONAL PHILANTHROPIC ASSOCIATION FOR CLEAN ING Cochrane,THE STREETS. Esq., —A deputation, consisting of the Duke of Grafton, Lord R o b ert Grosvdnor, B. B.

(From The Sun of last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were nearly 5,000 bales, including 1,500 on speculation, with a steady market. Shares were better, and with a prospect of an in creased business. The formation of railroads in British North America are of such high importance, in a military point of view, that it is satisfactory to find the home Government duly alive to it. A recent communication from Canada states :—" We are happy to learn, upon undoubted authority, that the Cambria brought the copy of a dispatch, dated the 18th April, from the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone to Lord Falkland, in reply to a dispatch from his Excellency dated the 2d April, inclos ing a copy of the proceedings in Nova Scotia relative to the projected railway from Halifax to Quebec. Her Majesty's Government, in reply to the application made by the Legis lature of Nova Scotia, have ordered a survey to be made of the whole line by officers of the Royal Engineers. ! And we understand that no time will be lost, so that in all probability the survey will be completed before the close of summer. The Colonial Secretary admits this great work to be, not only of vast im portance to the North American provinces, but to the general interests of the empire, and says that the home Govern ment will, as soon as the survey is made, decide as to the appropriation to the railway, of the funds intended for the construction of a military road, connecting the places men tioned. The dispatch refers to the proceedings expected to be taken by the Legislatures of Canada and New Brunswick. This action e n the part of the Imperial Government has given the friends of the undertaking new hope, and induces them now to believa that the Exeeutive will not hesitate longer in asking from the Legislature the contingent pledge, proposed by Mr. Young, in aid of this great enterprise, nor mar its success by any timidity on their part." In accounts from Van Dieman's Land, of the 4th of February, we find the settlers question, as it is called, still a subject of debate, but apparently without its approaching any tangible point, since we may hope that the Governor, by his representatiors to the Colonial Secretary has already paved the way for a more satisfactory state of things. The revenue for the September quarter of 1845, had only just been published. The amount was larger by 3,050/. than at the same period of 1844, though still below the expenditure by about 40,000/. per annum. An improvement was looked for, both as regards increase of revenue and decrease of ex penditure. The English Stocks have been very quiet to-day, and the fine weather has caused the attendance in the market to be very limited, while the recent settlement of the Account leaves parties at liberty to absent themselves without the least anxiety. Consols for Transfer to-morrow have been 961 8 ; and for Time 96%. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been steady at 16s. to 17s. Bank Stock has been quoted 206 i. The New Three-and-a-Qarter per Cents. have been 97 1 4%, and the Three per Cents, 95% to%. The Foreign Investments have not been largely dealt in, but seem rattier firmer. Spanish Three per Cents. bring 37 1 4%, and Portuguese Three per Cents. 54 Mexican Bonds have realised 29% /8 for the Five per Cents., and 1514 15% for the Deferred. Brazil Stock is 82%. Dutch Two- and-a Half per Cents. have been 60 to 601. The market for Railway Shares has been very quiescent this morning, the previous rates being those current, with out any material exception.

ARRIVAL of PRINCE NAPOLEON. Prince Napoleon Louis Bonaparte arrived in Eng land on the 26th ult., the day after his escape from Ham. We learn that the Prince has written a letter to Sir R. Peel, and one to Count St. Aulaire, the French Am bassador. We have been favoured with the copy of the latter, which we offer to our readers : (Translation.) " TO MONSIEUR LE COMTE ST. AULAIRE. " London, May 29, 1846. " Monsieur le Comte,—l come frankly to declare to the man who was the friend of my mother, that is quitting my prison I have not been actuated by any idea of renewing against the French Government a war which has been disastrous to me, but only to be enabled to go to my aged father. " Previous to my taking this step, I made every effort to obtain from the French Government the permission to go to Florence, and I offered every guarantee con sistent with my honour. But, finding that all my ap- Vications had proved unsuccessful, I determined to have recourse to the lastexpedient, which the Due de Nemours and the Duc de Guise adopted in similar circumstances, under Henry IV. " I beg, Monsieur le Comte, that you will inform the French Government of my peaceable intentions, and I hope that such a spontaneous assurance on my part will shorten the captivity of my friends, who still remain in pricon. I am, &c., (Signed) "NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE." To prove that the Prince had done everything that laid in his power to obtain his liberty by way of ne gotiation, we give the copy of a letter he wrote to Louis Philippe, and the answer he received to it : (Translation.) " Fortress of Ham, Jan. 14, 1846. " Sire,—lt is with the deepest emotion I come to re quest of your Majesty, as a great favour, the permission to quit Franee, were it only for a short time ; I who, for the last five years, have found in the breathing of the native air a large compensation to the torments of cap tivity. But my infirm and aged father stands in need of my attentions. To obtain my liberty he has applied to several persons known to be devoted to your Majesty ; and I feel it a duty incumbent on myself to do anything that lies in my power to attain that object. " The Council of Ministers have deemed it to be beyond tkeir competence to accede to the request I have made, of going to Florence, after taking the engagement of giving my self up again as a prisoner as soon as the Go vernment would express that wish, I come, Sire, confi dontly to make a call on the feelings of humanity of your Majesty, and to reiterate my request, which I entrust to your high and generous interference. " Your Majesty will, I am confident, appreciate to its true value a step which binds beforehand my gratitude, and sensible of the lonely situation, in a foreign land, of a man who, when on the throne, deserved the esteem of all Europe, I hope your Majesty will comply with the wishes of my father and my own. " I beg your Majesty to accept the expression ol l tny deep respect. " NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE." To this letter M. Duchatel, the Minister of the Inte rior, answered, " that the request of the Prince could not be complied with, because, to obtain the royal cle mency, it was necessary that the grace should be de serve& and avowedly asked for." Since that time, a great many highly influential per sons, both English and French, continued to take steps for the setting at liberty of the Prince, but to no pur pose. It was only when all hopes had vanished, and that the news concerning the health of his father became more alarming, that the Prince determined to have re course to the only means left . to him. FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL COPENHAGEN, MAY 23.—1 t is now positively affirmed hat his Majesty the King of Sweden will arrive here on the II th of July. and stay till the 13th of the same month. It is also expected that the Crown Prince of Bavaria will pay us a visit. A singular report has lately been circulated, namely, that the discussion of the question of the succession in the Duchies Hill be prohibited, with an intimation that there is at present uo grounds for such a discussion. It ;s certain, however, that several highly important pro j4ets of lae: may he expected. But the draft of a penal code for the Duchies, which has been long in prepara tion, will not he brought. forward in theapproaching Diet. ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 16 —Among the illustrious vests exile dtobe p: event at the marriage which is shortly to t , lte place is his Royal Higheess Prince Albert, Consort of Queen Victoria, in return for the visit which the Emperor paid to the Queen in 1844. Great preparations are making in Peterhoff and the country seats in the ro mantic environs, where the court will pass several weeks after the marriage of Princess O'ga. Accounts, which, however, are not yet authenticated, state that the Cholera has appeared in some parts of Russia, and especially that it has prevailed for some seeks past in the government of Cranburg, where it must probably have been introduced by the caravans. WARSAW, MAY 18.—The disarming of the kingdom of Poland has lately been carried to much greater ex tent ; not only fire-arms, and what are properly ca'led arms and weapons, are confiscated, but all instruments which way he used for cutting and striking, and only those are allowed which are necessary for the exercise of some trade or profession. In private houses only or dinary table knives and forks ate permitted ; but all carving andViiichen knives are prohibited. The butchers, who use only large knives and hatchets, are obliged to declare the number of them to the police, and to have them stamped. The confectiorers, after long petitioning, have at length obtained permission to have a machine, which they use for cutting bonbons, and the like. FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, MAY 20.—Accerding to accounts received to-day from Tarnow, the famous chief of the peasants, Szelo, (he is 72 years of age), was at length arrested on the 15th of this month, after having been for fourteen days under the surveillance of the police. This has been known to the public here only within these two days. The peasants in the country are said to be much displeased at their lot. The same time we learn that his son, who lived at Pilzno, and wrote the orders to the peasants, in his father's name, is also arrested. The work, in what are called Rebetb days, is, indeed, performed by the peasants for the Nobles, but the peasants utter the most awful threats against the Nobles, some of whom, in the circle of Wa doweil. do not require any such service. SILESIA, MAY 23.—An event has lately taken place in the circle of Nimpt, which resembles what sometimes happens among the Irish peasantry. A landowner, who is said to be rather strict in asserting his right, has a field of very fine rapeseed. In one night the whole was cut down; the loss is said to he several thousand pounds. —Hamburgh papers, 29th May. BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—The Senate is convoked for Thursday, the 4th of June. At the opening of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives to-day, some observations were made relative to the social matters to be put in the orders of the day, viz., to the free importations of provisions, to the Mint, and to the convention with France. The Chamber then continued the debate en the project of law respecting the canal of Deynze. We find from the Journal de la Haye, that the King of the Netherlands has left that capital for Wiemar, before the last arrangements relative to our commercial differences were finally settled. The English Minister at Brussels gave a grand dinner in honour of the birthday of her Majesty Queen Victoria. All the members of the diplomatic body, except the Swedish Minister, were present, and all the members of the cabinet. His Majesty's household was represented by Lieut. General Count d'Havre de Steenhue se, and M. Van Prael, his Majesty's Secretary. After dinner there was a grand rec. ptien from the diplomatic body, the ministers, and all the persons of distin c tion presented. The facade of the Hotel of the British Legation was illuminated. BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—The Chamber of Representatives continued to-day the debate on the project of law relative to the canal from Drynze to Schipdonk. The King has given audience to-day to a great num ber of persons. The Russian brig, Saina, Captain Leffiey, which left Antwerp on the 215 t of this month, in ballast, had put in at four o'clock in the afternoon, and was at anchor in the road of Turneuse. On the 22d at eleven at night, the captain, who was in bed, was thrown against the deck by an explosion which caused him to receive some bruises. The men had placed a quantity of gunpowder (supposed to be about 12 lbs.), under his bed, to which they contrived to apply a match. Happily the powder was not placed precisely under the place where the captain slept, so that he happily escaped with some alight contusions on his arms and legs, and was thrown, without any other accident, against the roof of his cabin. The Russian Consul will investigate the matter. Some persons are arrested. Another crew will be engaged, and in a fesi days the Saima will sail In the cabin everything is broken to pieces by the ex , plosion.—Brussels paper, May 30. HAMBURGH BORSENIIALLE, MAT 23. Bills.

DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT WESTERN.—On Satur day afternoon, the steam-ship, Great Western, sailed from Liverpool for New York, crammed with passengers, besides a very heavy cargo. COURT CIRCULAR. The following gratifying bulletin of the Queen's health was issued yesterday morning : "Buckingham Palace, June 1, 1846, " Nine o'clock A.M. " The Queen and the infant Princess continue well. (Signed) " JAMES CLARK, M.D. " CHARLES LOCOCK, M.D. " ROBERT FERGUSON M.D. " Her Majesty's recovery is so far advanced that no more bulletins will be issued." Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Majesty yesterday. His Royal Highness Prince George visited his Royal Highness Prince Albert yesterday at Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness Prince Albert rode out on horse back yesterday, attended by the Equerry in Waiting, Colonel Bouverie. The inquiries after her Majesty's health, by the No bility and Gentry, were very numerous yesterday. Their R.lal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, took an airing yesterday in an open carriage and four. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred took an airing yesterday in the pleasure grounds of Buckingham Palace. Colonel Bouverie has relieved the Hon. Captain Gor don in the duties of Equerry in Waiting to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge ho noured the performance of the French Plays with her presence last evening. Dispatches were received on Sunday at the Colonial Office, from the Governor of Van Diemen's Land. Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial Office, for the Governors of the West India Colonies. Lord Downes and the Hon. Miss Burgh, arrived at Farrance's Hotel for the season, from their seat, Bert House, Kildare. The Marchioness of Hastings, and Captain Hastings, R.N., have left town for Efford House, Lymington. S)UTH DEVON RAILWAY. This line of railway, the opening of which from various causes has been so long delayed, and which was originally intended to have been worked upon the atmos pheric principle, was on Saturday opened as a locomotive line. The day was a remarkably fine one, and was c lebrated as a holvday along the course of the line, which runs through a most picturesque and romantic portion of the country. The line, starting from Exeter, passes aloeg some meadows and follows the course of the Exe, giving some magnificent views of the city of Exeter, the extensive estuary of the Exe, the towns of Topsham, Lympstone, and Exmouth in the distance. On the other side of the river, as you progress along the line, are seen Powderham-park and castle, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire. After passing the Starcross-station, the appearance of the line becomes still more romantic, for you are carried apparently through the sea, the line running close to the mouth of the Exe ; it then runs into a very deep cutting through the Langstone cliffs, which are seen towering upwards of 100 feet above you. After passing Dawlish, you come to that portion of the line in the construction of which, running close as l& does along the sea-beach, so many difficulties have been encountered, and where in the most assailable part an immense buttress has been built to protect the line from irruptions of the sea. Having passed over the beach at Dawlish, and through several tunnels, you arrive at Teignmouth, which is sufficiently well known as one of the most delightful watering places upon the western coast of England. The first train, with the directors , &c., among whom we perceived Lord Courtenay, Samuda, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Henett, Mr. Gibbs, chairman of the a istol and Exeter Railway, Mr. Saunders, secre tary of the Great Western Railway, &c., left Exeter at 25 minutes after 12 o'clock, being loudly cheered on it , * departure, and during the whole course of its progress , by the assembled multitude, and arrived at Teignmouth soon after 1 o'eock. The line appear, dtobe in a capital state, the carriages passi ng over it very smoot hl y , an with but little oscillation. By this opening the metro. - polis is connected directly with Teignmouth, without anY ce-sity for changing the carriages, the Great Western , Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon, being all of them constructed upon the broad gauge principle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
