We want to give a hint (as you may guess) Touching her royal bride4room's wedding dress. "MOSES and SON (without a word's dispute) Should have the orders for the wedding salt. Garments like these would make the courtiers stare, Nor would he find their equal anywhere ; The Spanish Queen herself would much admire The elegance display'd in such attire. MOSES and SON (which fac they scarce need state) Are daily having orders from the great ; lknd Egypt's Prince, while visiting our borders, Forgot not to oblige us with his orders. Then let the Royal Prince ab out to marry Take up the hint which these few verses carry; mosEs and SON will choicely execute The Princes order for a wedding smite. LIST OF 2RICES. READY ItAbZ. L 11.

Since issuing the former prospectus, the Committee, being deter mined to proceed on the surest grounds, and anxious for the ultimate success of the undertaking, have made further and more minute in quiries into the remunerative traffic to be expected on this line ; and they are warranted in stating that, the result of such inquiries has greatly exceeded the expectations upon which they grounded their former prospectus. This line of railway, commencing at Bristol, will open a direct communication with Poole, passing through or near the important towns and villages of Whitechurch, Pensford, Clutton, Sheldon Mallet, Bruton, Castle Cary, Wincanton, Stalbridge, Sturminster, Newton, Shillingston, Stourpain, Blandford, Spittisbury, Sturminster Marshall, Wimborne Minster to Poole Harbour ; and thus, by means of the Line of Packets intended to be established by this Company, from that port to the Channel Islands and Cherbourg, and the rail ways now in progress from the latter place to the French capital, and Irons thence to Lyons, will complete the line of communication by the most direct way, from Edinburgh to the south of France, thus enabling that country to supply herself with many articles of com merce at little more than half the cost she at present pays, and leav ing a good remunerative profit to the Company and producer at home, Among the various sources of traffic to be expected on this line. the following are the most prominent :—The supply of the Govern ment with Coal from the Welch and Somersetshire pits, by means of the proposed line, for its different naval and steam depots throughout the world. The Somerset pits, which are 36 in narther, yield, at present, about 2,000 tons per diem, but are ca pable of yielding a much larger quantity; and, supposing that 2,000 tons were carried by the railway, at Id. per ton a mile, a dis tance of 40 miles for 300 days in the year, which is even less than the Company have every reason to expect, it would yield a net return of 100,0001., or 10 per cent. upon the estimated capi tal ; deduct then 40 per cent. for working the line, wear and tear, arid there remains the sum of 60,0001., or 6 per cent. per annum on the capital. There can be no doubt of the demand of this important article of general consumption. from the great dimi nution of price to the consumer by the costs of carriage being reduced to ld. per ton per mile from the present cost, which is from 6d. to 10d. The supply of the Channel Islands (population More than 100,000), and of France, with the best species of coal for the production of gas, as well as for the use of their manufactures and for domestic purposes. This article, by means of the various coal pits situated on the line, will yield to the Company a very fine remunerative profit, and be of the greatest be nefit to the coal proprietor; as the coal necessary for the purposes of gas can be obtained in very large quantities, and delivered at Cher bourg at one-third less than they are now giving for the same coal, and which cannot, therefore, fail to be of equal benefit to the Mer chant abroad, the producer at home, and the proposed Company. Besides these two great sources of coal traffic, there is the supply of the southern coast, and the different districts on the line, with coal for domestic use, at a saving of from - six to seven shillings a ton. This is a circumstance that cannot fail to secure to the Company the entire traffic, and be of the greatest benefit to themselves and the public in general. In addition to this, the line will offer to the great manufacturing city of Bristol a mere ready market for all those articles of commerce of which France and the Channel Islands stand so much in need, and 'which are manufactured in great quantities at that city, and as soon as the line is completed, tenders will at once be submitted to Government for the more speedy transmission of the malls to the Channel Islands, by which a saving of more than twelve hours will be effected, and to the North and North-west of Great Britain a saving of twenty-four hours. There is also very considerable traffic to be derived from the various stone quarries, iron mines, and clay pits on the line (the slay pits alone yielding more than 50,000 tons annually) ; sand front the Isle of Wight, for the manufacture of glass, of which more than 10,000 tons annually are used in Birmingham alone; the pre sent mercantile traffic which now goes round the Land's End to the Western Ports ; the great agricaltural, manufacture, and pas senger traffic from the rich and populous districts through which the line passes; and the traffic which must be thrown upon the line from the Welch iron and coal masters, as being the nearest and most direct outlet to the Continent for the produce of that country. In dependent of remuneration, this line ought to be looked upon as a great national undertaking and benefit, as it will do away with the necessity for vessels now employed in the Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Russian trades, bound to the western parts of England, going round the Land's End, by at once opening to them the harbour of Poole, which has been pronounced by eminent engineers to be one of the best natural harbours in the world, and capable, at a small expense, of being made accessible to vessels of the largest class with perfect safety, and enabling them to send their cargoes to their different destinations in less time, and at a less expense, than at present : by this means, not only will the shipowner and the merchant be greatly benefited, but the Company would derive art immense annual revenue front the cargoes of northern produce thus landed at Poole, to be again dist ri buted, by means of theirrailway, to the different manufacturing towns throughout this country ; and the passenger traffic that would natu rally follow so large a portion ,l,:shid o e si r mdeeertre,eiattinui detained return e ui n t ps r o a tn f It h cs theirter a a n do n eu o ti t r g a to average a C g o e m p ri a u n h y , number r y e o r f y ro yiel un Tdh d eto the Land's End amounts, from the most authentic sources, to about tour thousand, each vessel averaging a detention of five days. working after theto lt . O . t t e o o n f s month,Thew ou d a average ewi which scei wouldin en tonnageto give, i o av f eeh. these fvoers s the vessels hl,ew noru km amounts ' 6 w o/. per hich number ro f dayso detained, yessels ‘iz 101. to each vessel: thi s , multiplied by the4,ooo, would give the su m of 40,000/., which will be entirely saved by means of lids line. Thi s is independent of the loss of life, destruction of property, expense of insurance, and loss of time, which would all be saved by the projected rail, the statistics of which, did space allow, would make every one look upon the present undertaking, riot only as one of great local importance, but one of great national benefit. The advantages have long been known and appreciated, and the present Company have determined to bring them into play in the most it'll and efficient manner. The expense of storage at Poole as well as the port dues are less than at any port in the kingdom ; so that the merchant would be enabled to keep his goods there at a less expense than at his own port. He would be enabled to perform five voyages for every three from the northern parts, and, by means of the speedy communication by the electric telegraph and the rapid travelling of the present day, many advantages and conveniences will be afforded. A careful preliminary survey having been made by the Company's surveyor, the line has been pronounced to present less than the ave rage engineering difficulties, about thirty miles being through a rich, populous, and level valley. The harbour of l'oole has also been sur veyed, and the bar at the mouth of the harbour has been pronounced to be capable of removal, and is now actually being removed ; thus opening to vessels of the largest tonnage one of the safest and most commodious harbours in the world. These are a few of the advantages offered to the public by the pro jected line ; and the Committee, impressed with the sense of the ex cellence and legitimacy of the undertaking, and basing their views upon ascertained facts and undoubted evidence, feel themselves war ranted in offering to all applicants for shares the following conditions, That no party taking shares in the said Company shall be liable (in case of failure of the Company) to a larger amount than five shillings per share, unless a greater sum shall be sanctioned at a General Meeting of the Shareholders called for that purpose ; so that in case the Company fail at any period of time prior to such Meeting being called, the Committee pledge themselves to return 11. 17s. per share instead of 21. 25., and a proportionately larger amount if the accounts of the Company, upon inspection, show a less expenditure. At the first general meeting of the shareholders the Committee will produce an account, signed by the bankers, of the several sums received by them on account of the Company, thereby warranting to the shareholders that the amount subscribed is still in the hands of the bankers, minus the ss. per share. The future plans of the Company will be laid before the share holders at their first general meeting, and everything submitted to their investigation and approved. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

WORCESTERSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COM- This line of Railvray was originally projected to supply a most im required means of internral, and manufacturing district with much portant mineral, agricult o a i s nmunication, and is now rendered still it will connect, by an intersecting route more necessary, ina sniu g the North Staffordshire, th Western, the South St' the Valley, the London and North and Woclvomererliampton Hallways, i n e a t t h i o e and (by means of the last,) the Oxford, Worcester, a n AI cornet Act ni n l with ast se s fl s i r o s n t -c . l a a n s d s t s h t stations tt ß o i n n s sequently, be in immediatelt will, con on all these lines. • This Company applied for passed the House of Commons, and was of Lords by a technical non-compliancewonly defeated in the House trifling, indeed, that the Commons, salecitththe standing orders, so orders had specially reported that the bill Committee on standing Might and ought to be proceeded with. The line may now be made on its original integrity ter, where it will join the North Staffordshire Rag, from Uttoxe lion with the South Staffordshire, near Walsall. Theay l , at to a June pany having obtained an Act, last session, for co nstructin:; e t r i C°Tn ' from Walsall to Dudley, will execute that, the most e xpensiv 'e line e part of the whole scheme, and render it unnecessary for this c omp any to require more than a capital of 40 0 , 0 001. The Diretors have the pleas , Jre of stating that upon this capital the evidence adduced last session, proved a probable return or cm . siderably more than tell per sent. The surveys of last year are now being carefully revised, to enable Mr. Ita.strick, the present engineer of the Company, to select, where opportunity offers, the line which will best accommodate the public at the least expense of construction. The Directors beg ts inform the Sha-eholders of this Company, and also those of the Direct East and West Junction Railway Com pany, that they have been engaged, for some time past, in making arrangements, which they feel assured will prove much to their be nefit, and not only secure a return for the great expenses necessarily incurred in the last session, but will also be of material advantage to the success of their application to Parliament. The Directors do net propose to make any further call upon the Shareholders for that purpose, but as it is necessary, in compliance with the standing orders, that fresh Parliamentary Deeds should be signed, each Shareholder is requested to attend, with his scrip, at the office of the Company, for that purpose, when the old scrip will be exchanged for new scrip certificates, in which credit for the lull deposits alreadypaid will be given, and power of attorney will be for warded, free of expense, to Country Shareholders, on application to the Secretary. The new deeds will be ready for signature on and from the 22nd day of October instant. In the meantime, all further information relative to the position and prospects of the Company, may be ob tained from the secretary, by personal application to him, or other wise, at the Company's office.

THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday Mr. Arnold revised the list of voters for the parish of St. Sepulchre, in the ward of Farringdon- Without, North. The Learned Barrister the❑ proceeded with the revision of the lists for the precinct of Bride well, the parish of St. Bridget or St. Bride, the parish of St. Dunstan-in-the -West, and the precinct of White friars, all in the ward of Farringdon Without, South side. Mr. John Bright, M.P., who was on the list for the parish of St. Dunstan, as the occupier of premises, No. 67, Fleet -street (until recently the office of the Anti- Corn-law League), was objected to by the Conservative agent. It appeared, that though the furniture on the premises had been sold on the 28th of July, the house had con tinued in the possession of Mr. Bright, and other mem bers of the committee of the League, and that their servants had resided there till the 29th of September. John Connell, the servant who had been left in charge of the house, stated that he saw Mr. Bright on the pre mises in July. A number of Mr. Bright's blue books and papers remained there after the 28th of July, and witness removed them to Mr. Bright's house some time afterwards. Witness continued in charge of the house, as the servant of Mr. Bright and other gentlemen, till the 29th of September. If Mr. Bright had come there at any hour of the day or night, witness would have let him in, and Mr. Bright might have turned him (witness) out. Mr. ARNOLD held that a sufficient occupation was proved, and retained the name. The names of Messrs. Cobden, M.P., R. R. R. Moore, P. A. W. Paulton, P. A. Taylor, and George Wilson, who were registered as occupiers of the same premises, under precisely similar circumstances, were also retained. The following is the result of the day's revision : Sustained. Failed or Conservative o bj ec ti ons 124 withdrawn. 96 Liber al Double 2O Liberal claims MIDDLESEX. Mr. L. Shadwell held his court yesterday at the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Westminster Hall, and dis posed of the lists of county voters for the parishes of St. Martin, St. Anne, St. Margaret, St. John, St. Clement Danes, St. Paul, Covent-garden; St. George, Hanover square; St. James, the Savoy, and Lincoln's Inn; but no point of sufficient importance to require notice was raised during the day. The Learned Barrister will hold a court to-morrow (this day) at Mile-end, to revise the lists of the north-eastern parishes in the county. EAST SURREY. The Revising Barrister sat again yesterday at the Board-room, Bermondsey. Mr. Curling, whose case was reported yesterday, at tended, accompanied by his tenant and Mr. Allen, a surveyor, for the purpose of substantiating his claim to vote. Mr. Allen, in answer to questions from the Barrister, said that he had viewed the piece of ground in question, and although it was certainly very small, yet it had two frontages, and was in a rapidly increasing neighbourhood; he considered it would be eligible to build a small shop on, arid that for this purpose it was worth 50s. a year. Mr. Drew, the vestry-clerk, who opposed the claim, said he was of opinion that the New Building Act that had just come into operation would prevent a house from being built upon a piece of ground in the confined posi tion this was. The Act required that there should be some outlet at the back of every building, for the pur poses of air and ventilation. Mr. Allen said it was sufficient if the windows fronted an open thoroughfare ; and, according to his interpreta tion of the Act, a house might be built upon the ground for which the claim to vote was set up, and upon this view of the case he considered it was worth 50s. a-year. The REVISING BARRISTER said he was of opinion that upon this evidence Mr. Curling had made out his claim, and his name would, therefore, be placed upon the list. Mr. Curling complained of the unnecessary trouble to which he had been put by the parish officers objecting to his claim, when he said there could be no doubt it was a good one. He had offered to depose to the value of the property, which was all that was usually required, and yet he had been put to the trouble and expense of bring ing his tenant arid a surveyor before the Court. Under these circumstances, he said, he trusted the Revising Barrister would think it was a case in which costs should be awarded. The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared to him that the parish officers had acted under a bond fide im pression that the property was not of sufficient value to give a vote, and, therefore, he did not consider that there was the slightest ground for the application for costs. There were four claims to vote in respect of a rent charge upon houses in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, which were objected to by Mr. Meymott, the Conserva tive agent, on the ground that although the p roperty had been in the po ssess i o n of the claimants for th e pe riod required by the Act, viz. six months, yet as no payment had actually been made, they were not entitled to vote. The REVISING BARRISTER, who had considered his decision, stated to-day that, in his opinion, it was suffi cient for the parties to be entitled to the amount speci cified, and that it was not necessary for them to have actually received it. lie, therefore, held the claims to be good, and the names were placed on the list. MADAME ANNA BISHOP. _ - - - In the last number of the Musical World a narrative is given of the car eer o f M a d ame Bi s h op abroad, evidently gathered from authentic so u r ces , by w hi c h it would ap pear that e ver y c i rcumstance o f h er professional:lfe, be tweeni the years 1839 an d 1846, h as b een attended with reputation and distinction of the most brilliant and un precedented kind—that the potentates of Europe hare vied with each other in heaping honours upon her, not only in oral eulogies, but in gifts of excessive value. Her successes, indeed, on the Continent, if the record doth not " protest too much"—and, having last night heard her, we do not believe that it does—have never been equalled by an y E ng li s h s i nger ; and, so far as the recognisance of our own native talent is concerned, we are glad th a t, i n th ese sorry t i mes of its mani festation, a special instance of intellectual and practical merit has not been overlooked. A note or two borrowed from the memoir alluded to may at this moment not be without i nterest ; Madame Bishop was the Miss Riviere who, in 1838, was one of the best and most pro mising pupils of the Royal Academy of Music, singing with applause at the Ancient and Philharmonic Concerts, and also at the principal festivals. After this, influenced by the suggestions of the present Earl of Westmorland, she commenced the study of operatic music of the Italian school, with a view to an experiment on the stage, and in 1839, at a dramatic concert given by Bochsa at the Opera House, she sang selections from Rissini's Tancredi and Gazza Ladra in character, with credit and success. In the latter part of the same year she went over to Copenhagen, where she gave ten concerts under the patronage of the court, netting during her three months' residence in Denmark upwards of 12,000 thaler s . I n 1840 she traversed Sweden, r y i i n n e g e O a t scar. sameAt Up and divided w i th Jenny Lind, then, as now, the time su la prints don na o f the Theatre - Royal, th e pu bli c f avour, enjo tshhee i m w m a :d s i e a r t e e n c a o d u e n d t e P hundred of th e university students, who committed b n y anceof three va rious other extravagancies denoting the intensity of their admiration. Triumphs more brilliant still awaited her at it. Petersburgh, w h ere she sang before their Imperial Majesties and t h e leading members of the Russian nobility, receiving cost l y tokens of opinion in diaiaonds and precious gifts. F rom SL Petersburgh she went successively to Dorpat, Riga, Mittau, Moscow, Novogorod, Kasan in Tartary, Odessa, Yassi in Mol. davia, Lemberg in Krakovia, and Brunn. There seems to have been no limit to the enthusiasm which her pro gress over this extended route awakened—in one place she was presented with a Persian carpet and an elegant sofa; at another some dozen pairs of bracelets were trans mitted for her acceptance ; while at Yassi the reigning prince condescended to lead her out to dance at a court ball, an act of grace which the Princess Royal followed up, by bestowing on her a set of turquoises and a purse of 300 sequins. We read also of a shawl worth 1,000 rubles, as an offering on the part of the Countess Paturka. A similar kind of eclizt was in store for her in Germany and Hungary. She gave concerts at Vienna (which she reached in 1842), Presburg, Pesth, Raab, Carlsbad, Frankfort, Mayence, Darmstadt, Manheim, Munich, Innspruck, Trieste, and Rovedero—the King of Bavaria being her kindest patron during this section of her career. In 1843 she visited Verona, Padua, Venice, Rovigo, Fer rara, Florence, Rome, arriving at Naples in May. In the last-mentioned city she remained upwards of two years, the whole of which time she enjoyed the position of prima donna at the San Carlo and the Fondo, excepting a short interval in 1844, when she sang for a few nights at Rome. It seems that her popularity with the vola tile Italians never abated during this long period, and that the mad enthusiasm which was exemplified on the night of her last Neapolitan appearance exceeded all ordinary manifestation s of popular frenzy. At the espe cial command of the King of Naples, she was then ex pressly engaged for the celebrated fetes of Palermo ; and having again reaped a harvest of honours and rewards from illustrious hands, she turned her steps homewards, through Switzerland, giving concerts at Zurich, Berne, Neufchatel, Geneva, and Basle ; afterwards at Heidel berg, Liege, and Brussels. Such has been the profes sional career of Madame Bishop since the public first became acquainted with her as a pupil 4:21 . the Royal Academy of Music. • IRELAND. . . DUBLIN, OCT. 12 . —Conciliation Hall was again thinly attended at the meeting held this afternoon. Mr. Cos tello, barrister, was called to the chair. Mr. Ray read the minutes of last day's proceedings, and Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL immediately announced a " letter from his father"—(Cheers)—which he proeeeded to read, as follows : " Derrynane Abbey, Cahirciveen, Oct. 9, 1846. "My dear Ray,—The objections made (though I think in many instances unwisely and unfoundedly made) against the Labour-rate Act, seemed to render necessary the meeting of Parliament to give additional power to the Irish Government ; but the Lord-Lieute nant has wisely, and I would add bravely, determined not to wait for the tedious process of assembling Parlia ment and debating a new Bill, but to take upon himself the risk and responsibility of making use of powers sufficient to obviate every objection and conciliate every interest, so as to be able to proceed with increased and increasing rapidity in procuring wages and food for the people. " It is quite true that an indemnity Bill may be re fused when Parliament assembles, but he is ready to incur the hazard, and to meet the danger, in his anxiety to obviate the immediate peril in which the country is involved. " Having taken this responsibility upon himself, and assuming every species of necessary dictatorship, there's no fear that he will stop short in his good work, or adopt any half measure whatsoever ; fully committed as he is that his course lies straight ;before him, it would be a confession of' error to hesitate or delay,in, taking that course. " We have, therefore, every right to expect prompt and efficacious measures —measures the most efficacious because the most prompt. " The people want two things::— the first—food, food, food ; and next—wages to enable them to buy that food. "Food must be stored in depots in every convenient locality. Bread stuffs of every kind must be poured in. Every one who can afford it should purchase foreign provisions of every kind. "We must one and all co-operate with the Lord- Lieutenant. I have no hesitation in saying that all parties admit that he is a wise and bold man, and everybody expects from him energy, promptitude, and decision, to set the people at work, and to bring food within their reach. " I shall be as k e d w h et h er I st i ll think that a 4lsTa ! tional Committee' should meet in Dublin. My answer is ready--I decidedly think so. Ido think that a Na tional Committee in Dublin would be most useful in en abling the Lord-Lieutenant to carry out his views, and I am happy to see that the formation of such a committee has become the object of avowed consideration by men of rank and large fortune, who are not connected with me by any influences, or by any community of political opinions. " The emergency in which the country is involved has compelled them to see that the combined energy and wisdom of the :landed proprietors of Ireland are abso lutely necessary to enable the people to escape from the horrible evils which surround us, and to make arrange ments for the incalculable dangers that menace us in the apprehension of another and another year of pesti knee and famine. "If there were a prospect of better times, by the amelioration of the seasons in one, two, three, five, or many months, then, indeed, matters might be allowed to take their course without any special intervention of the landed gentry. But one year must, and many years may, perhaps, elapse before we have arrived at anything like the position of ordinary safety or security. "It seems, therefore, the height of absurdity not to make arrangements for the coming together of those landed proprietors who are most interested in the wel fare of the agricultural population of Ireland. M en should meet without distinction of party or religious dif ferences—all points of dissension should be buried in oblivion—we should confine ourselves to discovering remedies for the present position of affairs, fearful as they are. the meetings that have lately taken place on the subject of the public distress have been perfectly free from the taint of any political or sectarian dif ferences. " There is one topic upon which it will be totally un necessary to deliberate, at least such is my humble but strong opinion—l mean the calling for a speedy session of Parliament. Such a measure at present, instead of facilitating, would only serve to retard the modes of re lief which we have a right to look to from the energy and promptitude of the Lord-Lieutenant. But there are abundant topics for the consideration of the National Committee exclusive of calling for a session of Parlia ment—topics that involve the imminent danger of the lives of the entire agricultural population. " It may be said that my taking so persevering a part in suggesting the formation:of a National Committee may rather prevent than promote the meeting of such an as sembly; but it has not done so hitherto. Many, very many landed proprietors have already taken up the matter as their own, nor have they waited for the sug gestion of Mr. Bernal Osborne in order to show that they did not shrink from a participation in my views on the subject of the calamitous distress, by reason of my difference of opinion with them upon important subjects of a different nature. " Mr. Bernal Osborne, indeed, has endeavoured to coax them with a scrap of Latin to enter into my plans. He has done me an essential injury by his un classic, because hackneyed quotation—' Fas est ab hosk doceri.' " Yes, he does me great wrong. lam not the enemy of the landed proprietors of Irelanl: on the contrary, I conscientiously believe myself to be their sincerest friend. I believe that my counsels would most essen tially serve them. " As to hostility, Mr. Osborne himself is a greater adept in th a t qua li ty t h an I am, as witness his snappish attacks upon the Whigs—attacks which evince more of piety than of sound policy. lie may be quite sure that with all his good qualities, and he has many, he will not obtain any respect from the Irish people by indulging in any under -current of animosity. Much better, indeed, would it be for him to join with those who recollect that neither Whigs nor Tories can ever permanently cure the heartsore of Ireland so long as the Irish people are precluded from legislating for their own country. From domestic legislation alone is a permanent and perfect cure for the evils of Ireland to be expected. " There is one thing certain—that no Parliament could possibly render the people of Ireland more miser able, more wretched, or less able to struggl e aga i nst the to assist th e L ord- Lieutenant in working out his plans o f re li ef. Let us pressure of even a casual calamity. "Let us, then, never lose sight o f th e perseverinc, struggle for the restoration of the I ris h P arliament, by 6 the repeal of the union. ‘ h ‘ olrnr, othe let meantime,us one a a nd and all during combinet ese pressi ng moments of combine heartily, readily, and perseveringly. " There is one notion that should be c orrected—it is that the Labour-rate Act, asit passed into l aw, sanctions no other than unprofitable works. There never was a more absurd blunder committed by our newspapers than such an assertion. It is true that in particular baronies, such as that with which Mr. Monsell of T ervoe i s con nected, where there is already a full sufficiency of roads and bridges, the Labour-rate Act has those defects which the Lord-Lieutenant is about, on his own autho rity, to correct. But that is the exception; the general rule is otherwise. " For example, in those western baronies in the county of Kerry the good roads are scant and bridges few. Here the roads and bridges, as presented. at the sp ec i a l sessions, are all productive works—that is, productive of the greatest advantage to the occupiers and ratepay ers ; I repeat, they are emphatically productive works. " I cannot conclude without regretting that the as tounding misery by which we are surrounded deprives us of leisure even to remark how impossible it is for the moral force principle to allow us to amalgamate in the Repeal Association with the men of the sword. We do not want to be hanged ourselves, or to allow t h e people to be hanged, to gratify the puerile vanity of insane de claimers ; but we will only persevere the more deter minedly to look fur the repeal by means that will involve no man in guilt or in danger—by means which can never allow the sacrifice of property, or the sh e ddi ng of one drop of blo o d. With such principles and practice every virtuous and wise man may join us in the shout—llurra for the repeal !—Very respectfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. M. Ray, Esq." S OCTOBER 14, REPRODUCTIVE WORKS. The Board of Works have issued the following in structions relative to reproductive works, which may be undertaken by landed proprietors, as authorised by Mr. Labouchere's letter of the sth of October, 1846 :-- " Landed proprietors, in the terms of the Act sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 89, applying for permission to expend the amount, or a portion of the amount, to be levied on any electoral district, in draining or subsoiling, con nected with drainage, must state the precise nature of the work proposed to be executed; and it is to be ob served that no works can be admitted which are not directly connected with the permanent improvement of the soil. " The lands having been viewed and reported on by the officer of the Board of Works, and subsequently sanctioned by the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, the works may be commenced under the su perintendence of an overseer either appointed or ap proved of by the Board of Works. " The labourers employed will be paid at the end of each week by the pay-clerk of the Board of Works, in proportion to the extent of the work executed, the price for each item of expenditure having been previously de. termined on and approved of by the Board. " No contracts can be entered into by the Board of Works with proprietors or others for the execution of works of any kind; the whole must be done by task at fixed prices, it being expressly understood that the la bourers to be employed shall not be limited to those who reside within the particular electoral district in which the work may be situated, but may be selected from among the destitute poor residing within the limits of the district allotted to the local relief committee ; the particular labourers to be employed being furnished with tickets by the inspecting officer of the Board of Works. " When a small stream or drain forms a boundary be tween two electoral districts, which stream or drain is the natural outlet for the waters of both, the expenditure required for sinking or embanking (as the case may he) such stream or d ra i n s h a ll b e borne by the proprietors of both electoral divisions, in proportion to the benefit conferred, and the works shall be effected under the same arrangements as those prescribed for ordinary drains, &c. " When the sum to be expended on reproductive works is equal to the entire amount to be levied off the electoral district, such district will not be liable to pay any additional portion of the general assessment for the barony in which it is situated. But when only a portion —say one moiety of the sum presented on the electoral district, shall be expended on drainage &c., the entire of such electoral district shall be assessable for the remain ing moiety which may be expended on ordinary roads, or other useful public work within the electoral district or barony, as the case may be, within the meaning of the enactments of the 10th Victoria, cap. 107.—8 y order, WALKER, S RUMOURED EPISCOPAL CHANGES. ecretary." The subjoined rather improbable announcement ap pears in the Derry Sentinel:— " Rumours have been afloat in this neighbourhood for some days respecting certain episcopal changes conse quent on the demise of his Grace the Archbishop of York. It is said that in case this melancholy event should take place the present Archbishop of Dublin is to be translated to the Archiepiscopal see of York, the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Ponsonby is to be promoted to Dublin, and either the Bishop of Killaloe or of Ossory is to be translated to the see of Derry. We cannot trace these reports with any certainty to their source, but Lord John Russell could scarcely make an appointment more gratifying to the members of the Established Church in this part of the country than promoting either Dr. O'Brien or the Hon. and Right Rev. Ludlow Tonson to the united diocese of Derry and Raphoe." MORAL v. PHYSICAL FORCE. The Freeman of this morning publishes a hostile cor respondence which has passed between Mr. John Shea Lawlor and Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., the originating cause of which may be thus briefly stated :—ln conse quence of the recent resolutions adopted by the Repeal Association in reference to the seceding members from that body, Mr. Lawlor, as one of the parties put under ban, and whose letter of resignation was declared by the committee to be " couched in terms of most unbecom ing discourtesy," that gentleman wrote to Mr. John O'Connell, as the proposer of the obnoxious resolution, tto say, to the requiring series amr. L satisfactory ar,lersay e s " With the decision of the comm itt ee , so f ar as x — planation. In letter No. 1 o f re gards its having retained or rej e ct e d m y or i g i na l commu nication, contemplationmm neitherni at io n could, I I t h have n a o v t e hin e g nt w er h e a d te i v n e t r o thisat myen have sought to attach any personal responsibility to any one connected with that proceeding. But the case alto gether differs when one gentleman undertakes to adju cate upon the propriety or impropriety of the deport ment of another, and to pronounce that deportment as being indecorous or unbecoming.' Society would be come intolerable, and the intercourse between gentlemen, even on public questions, unsafe and embarrassing, if individuals were allowed to suppose that, when discharg ing what may appear to them public duties, they were authorised in laying aside those just and proper restraints imposed by the ordinary rules of society, and to arro gate to themselves functions unsuited to their position or powers." Mr. John O'Connell, in reply to the foregoing, retorts upon Mr. Lawlor the charge of addressing disrespectful language in his letter to the committee of the Repeal Association : " In page 4," says Mr. O'Connell, " you accuse us of being guilty of personal insult and unmitigated politi cal persecution r "In page 9 you ask is our conduct fair, honest, or honourable'—and you express your own opinion to the contrary. " I have omitted to say that in page 4 also you say:— " Had the offence (viz.. that of the Young Ireland party) been denounced, instead of the offenders, our Association would have been more advantaged—although, perhaps, individually some of its members may have been less so.' " Page 10, you insinuate that those at present work ing in the cause are neither honest' nor disin terested.' "If I am to understand your letter as seeking to fix a personal quarrel upon me for the discharge of a public duty towards the Association, assailed as it was in a letter intended to be public, and written in a public capacity, I must altogether deny your right so to do, and I would submit it to your good judgment whether it may not wear the appearance to the public eye of an attempt at personal intimidation to retrieve a political defeat? "At the same time I have no hesitation in saying to you, that if you will withdraw the offensive expressions I hare alluded to in your letter of the 20th of September, I will at once, and most•cheerfully, solicit the committee to allow the terms you complain of to be cancelled in their record of the resolution moved by me on receipt of your letter of the 24th of the same month." This explanation was not deemed satisfactory to Mr. Lawlor, and he implores of Mr. O'Connell to reconsider the matter, so as to preclude the probability of the dernier ressort : " I would entreat of you to place this case before some experienced and dispassionate adviser, whose judgment may be unembarrassed by any personal or political feel ing. Should you feel disposed to adopt this suggestion, and that you will inform me of your having determined to do so, I shall most readily remain quiescent and inac tive to any period of time you may think it proper to ap point, as allo w i ng a su ffi cient interval for that p u p ose . " Nothing necessarily tending to lead to any unto. ward result has as yet taken place ; but, come what may, I shall now, in any event or contingency which may happen, have the satisfaction of feeling that, although I could not induce myself to have allowed a personal disrespect to pass unredressed, and your communication of this day distinctly admits that even more than that was designed and intended towards me—yet, that when seeking that redress, I have omitted no means of having secured it in a manner the least embarrassing or dis tressing to the principal and leading perpetrator of it. " I am, dear Sir, your obedient servant, "JOHN SHEA LAWLOR. " Pray do not misunderstand my motive in suggesting to you the propriety of taking every precaution —a thing easily done—for preventing this matter reaching the ears of our public authorities. Such an accident would be injurious and discreditable, and would place the party who might be considered responsible for it in a very disagreeable position. On my side two gentlemen only are acquainted with the circumstance, and upon their circumspection and caution I feel that I may implicitly rely." This very intelligible communication drew forth the following response from the Honourable Member for Kilkenny : "Loyal National Repeal Association, Corn Exchange Rooms, Dublin, Oct. 11, 1846, 3 P.M. " Sir,—As from the tenour of your second letter to me, which I have just received, I am confirmed in the impression that you are seeking to fix a personal quarrel upon me for the discharge of a public duty, I proceed at once to the nearest police-office, to put the authorities in possession of your intentions. " The right of free comment upon the public acts of persons assuming a public capacity I have, even when exercised as it has been so frequently against myself, always recognised in the fullest degree. I will not al low that freedom to be now violated; nor a precedent to be set for the intimidation of men discharging a dis agreeable, but an imperative public duty. " Your offensive, or, to use your own words ; 4 objec. , tionable' expressions, were applied to the Association collectively, and to individuals in it, as is plain from the extracts I quoted in my letter of yesterday. You offered these insults in your public capacity, as a member of the Association,' (I quote your own words again)—l, in my similar public capacity, was the mouthpiece of the committee in resenting your conduct. " Your letter of last night's date I shall submit to that body at their next meeting, as I did at their meeting of yesterday, with that which you sent me in the morning. interposition of Ido not delegate any one to call for the of the authorities between you and me—but, as I have said, I proceed in person to make the application.—l am, Sir, your faithful servant, " JOHN O'CONNELL. " John Shea Lawlor, Esq., &0., Imperial Hotel." _ After this it is almost unnecessary to mention that all idea of a hostile collision was at an end. Mr. Thomas Steele and• Mr. Ray lodged the necessaryinformations against Mr. Lawlor before the magistrates of Henry street Police -office yesterday, and in the course of the evening the advocate of physkal fOrce was arrested at his lodgings in the Imperial Hotel, where, however, he was permitted to remain for the night, under the sur veillance of the police. At the morning sitting of the magi s t ra t es o f Henry street office this day, Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Messrs. James O'Hea, Edward Clements, Thomas Steele, T. M. Ray, and Richard Barrett, came before Dr. Kelly to prefer his charge against Mr. Lawlor. Mr. Lawlor, shortly after, accompanied by Mr. Pierce Mahony and Mr. F. B. Healey, entered the office. The following is the information. sworn by Mr. O'Connell before I)r. ar rest The enl.l;lnsr Kingstown, m a n w ,a l t8; o i o r en. w , o a tf s h .a g l o oh u e, n c d ho e an d sn : e - t - -lhl ,is. Kelly on Su n d ay , an d on which the warrant for the day, sq., of the G l a t T h a n o - f O hi e l l ' ober inst., received a letter, herewith annexed, and to which he has affixed his initials, and which letter is dated Imperial Hotel, Saturday night, Oct. 10, 1846,' and signed John Shea Lawlor,' which letter this in formant believes to be in the handwriting of the said John Shea Lawlor ; that the said letter is addressed by the said John Shea Lawlor to this informant ; and from the words and expressions used in the said letter, and all, as informant believes to be, in the handwriting of the said John Shea Lawlor, this informant has no doubt whatever that the said letter was so addressed to him for the purpose and with the intent, on the part of the said John Shea Lawlor, of provoking this informant to commit a breach of the peace, and of threatening to send this informant a hostile message, whereby the liv es of this infor mant an d o f t h e said John Shea Lawlor would be placed in peril." Mr. O'Connell was sworn, and asked by Dr. KELLY if Mr. Lawlor was the gentleman against whom he had lodged the information ? Mr. O'Connell—Yes, that is the gentleman. Dr. KELLY—From the expreSsions used in the letter alluded to in the information, are you apprehensive of a breach of the peace ? Mr. O'Connell—l am. Dr. KELLY --Are you still under that impression ? Mr. O'Connell—l am. Dr. KELLY —Mr. Lawlor, you are now free to answer the charge made against you, and I am ready to hear anything you may wish to offer in explanation or justi• fication, if you have anything to offer ; and, if not, it will be tor me to take the best course I can. Mr. Lawlor—l shall not offer any observation; I shall leave the case entirely with you. You I conceive to be the best judge of the whole case. Were I aware that the case would get such exteusive notoriety as it unfor tunately has, I should have come here prepared with a professional gentleman, not for the purpose of saying anything to any person, but of leaving the office without saying one word on the subject. Dr. KELLY—You don't deny having written this letter to Mr. O'Connell ? Mr. La.wlor—l neither deny nor admit anything ; I am quite silent on the whole affair. I)r. KELLY—Then I have only one course to pursue, and that is to bind you to keep the peace. I shall re quire you to give me two sureties in the sum of 2001. each, and you yourself in 4001., to keep the peace. If you think the sum too high, I am ready to hear any ob servation you think fit to make on that point. Mr. Lawlor—l shall not offer a single observation on any part of the case. Dr. KELLY—Then you have no objection to the amount of bail which I have named? Perhaps you might have something to say in that respect, as this is net your native city. Mr. Lawlor—l am most anxious not to say a word at all ; but, as to the amount of bail, it cannot make any difference as to the security in any city where I may be. Dr. KELLY—Then I must have two sureties in 2001., and yourself in 4001., to keep the peace. Mr. Lawlor—For what? In binding a person to keen the peace, there are two material items, which I think you have omitted altogether. The first is, as to the per son to whom I am to keep the peace; the second, as to the period of time for which I am to be bound. Dr. KELLY-As to whom you are to keep the peace, the complainant in this case is, in the first instance, the person to whom you are to be bound, and then gene rally to all her Majesty's subjects, for the term of five years. Mr. Lawlor—Do you think, from all the circum stances, and looking at the whole of the case, that I ought to be bound to keep the peace to any person ex cept the party who brought me here? Dr. KELLY—I think your remarks are right. Mr. Lawlor—l am very sorry to speak at all in this matter. I intended to have walked into the office and out again, without offering a single observation. Mr. O'Connell said he did not come there to seek protection for himself personally, but there was what he considered a great public principle involved in it— and he wished to have all those who considered it a duty in that respect to be protected. It was on public grounds alone that he brought the case forward. Dr. KELLY then directed Mr. Lawlor to enter into securities to keep the peace towards Mr. O'Connell; and Mr. Peirce Mahony and Mr. F. B. Healy having entered into the necessary bond, Mr. Lawlor was dis charged. Mr. O'Connell, on retiring from the office, thanked Dr. Kelly for the manner in which he had acted. Dr. KELLY said, I have only done my duty, and I am very glad to find you have done yours. T T h h e e E , e matter ning t Mailay terminated. s THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. " The Archbishop of Dublin protests against the form of prayer prepared by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and agreed upon by her Majesty in Council, as well as to that settled by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, humbly imploring the Almighty God to avert from these countries the impending calamity of famine. The ob jections are of a twofold nature—legal and spiritual. Dr. Whateley denies the constitutional right to issue such a command; and, as he considers the visitation a direct judgment from God, he looks upon any attempt at propitiating the Divine wrath in the nature of a blasphemy. His Grace preached a sermon upon this subject yesterday in the Episcopal Chapel of St. Ste phen, in which he expounded his views, political and religious.

FORTIFICATION OF THE COASTS OF ENGLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE'. Sift,--It was with no ordinary pleasure I read the able article under the above title, in your valuable paper of the 7th inst., and the public owe great obligations to you in making known the sentiments of M. C. Dupin, on this highly important and vital subject, which, let us trust, will receive the earnest and immediate attention of the English Government. You have often and so strenuously advocated the con struction of "Harbours of Refttge," as necessary for the protection of the lives and property of her Majesty's subjects in the English Channel, that I need not apolo gise for soliciting your indulgence on the present occa sion. In the event of a sudden outbreak of war with our French neighbours (which every right-minded person would lament), what protection, I will ask, will the town of Brighton, with its 50,000 souls, have, if sud denly attacked by a fleet of war? Might not the " Queen of Watering Places" be reduced to ruins in a few short hours? Frequently have you urged the great necessity for the intermediate harbour, or breakwater, proposed by the Admiralty Commissioners to be erected in Seaford Bay, being midway between Portsmouth and Dover, and which is in every way eligible, from its fine anchorage and great depth of water at all tides, and, being near to the inner harbour of Newhaven, would be of immense value in the Channel for sheltering merchants' and steam vessels, and also prove of vast importance to the British Govern ment; as, on the completion of the branch line of railroad to the port of Newhaven from Lewes and Keymer, the shortest route will be offered to France from the metro polis, and the greatest facility will thbn be afforded for the transmission of troops and ammunition to the coast. It is a notorious and lamentable fact, that there is no good shelter for vessels between Dover and Portsmouth; the consequence is, a great number of shipwrecks, and loss of life annually, which would be generally avoided bythe construction of the proposed breakwater in Seaford Bay. If the Property-tax is to continue, surely a few thou sand pounds might be voted by Parliament every session for such a national undertaking, and when many millions sterling is so easily raised for railway speculations I ! ! You have more than once stated energetically, that the situation of Seaford is paramount, and ought first to be commenced. We have now another Government since your last appeal, pray urge speedily upon them to com mence this work of art, without further delay, in the days of peace, and before the finances may be unfortu nately required for the purposes of warfare. I are, Mr. Editor, your most obedient servant, Bth October, 1846. A CONSTANT READER. REMARKABLE ESCAPE.---it has seldom happened that we have bad to set such a remarkable instance of escape from death as the following before our readers:— On Wednesday afternoon, while a woman named Christie was hanging out clothes from a window at Laurie's close, Giles-street, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. The height of the window from which she fell is four stories. In her descent she came in contact with and broke the poles that had been extended from all the other windows below for drying clothes. Strange enough she was so little hurt as to be able to walk up the stairs again to her own house. The poles and ropes she had displaced successively in her descent must have broken the force of her fall.—Edinburgh Post. PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mill, , which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77k, it follows that gold is 0.87 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9i, it follows that gold 1S 9.23 per cent. dearer in liatuburgh than in London.

The following letter has been written bx aMexical bondholder : , iti i " Your letter i n thi s d ay ' s money `article -Mating t the Mexican affairs has caused much excitement ant uneasiness among the bondholders, as the 'variation it the prices will show you. As I find that Messrg:Schnei• der,and Co: Ohl Governmerq agents) state i that the) have ne authority to stop the conversion which was stil going on, I beg that you will give publicity to the agents assertion, or make further inquiry into the matter, to save ruin to the unfortunate holders, who may II; other wise driven to sell their bonds at any price your re marks may drive the stock to." . Our remarks on this subject have been little more than a description of the contents of a certainAispatch, copies of which are now in the City. In a matter of so much importance it is but natural. that mach discussion should arise, and that different opinions should be uttered as to a proceeding which seems to jeopardizra large amount of property. On such points as thei legitimacy and permanence in power of the authorities prom whom - the - dispatch has emanated, or their constitutional ability to do such as act as repudiate th'e cOnverted:b4ids, we leave the public to judge, according to the Frtffrmation and knowledge they possess. We only . warn. them not to question the existence of a document containing such provisions as have been described under this head, and to be prepared for its publication. They can then criti cise it at leisure, and consider whether the present Government is more or less legitimate than that Paredes. Since writing the above we have received the 'follow ing from Messrs. Schneider, the Mexican agents; and though the second document is of great length, .the at tention of the speculators is so completely absoibed by the position of Mexican stock, that we do not hesitate to give it entire. In the meantime, we would observe that the statements of Messrs: Schneider do not in the least impugn the validity of the document brought by Senor Gomez Tories:— " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " Sir,—ln the present state of agitation of the public mind concerning the conversion of the old debt of 'Mexico into the new stock, which was created by virtue of the agreement entered into between the Mexican Govern ment and the bondholders in June last, we think the publication of the following translation of a letter written by the ex-Minister of Finance, Don Luis de la Rosa, to the editor of a Mexican newspaper called the Republi cano, and published in that paper in the month of August last, may tend very much to allay the uneasiness so na turally felt at the present moment, and we therefore transmit it to you for that . purpose. .. " We also take advantage — of this occasion "t maka known'to the public, that neither by the last packet, n or by the one whi c h p rece d e d it, have we received any communication from the authorities in Mexico, nor have we• any official information whatever concerning the mission of . Senor Gomez Farias to this country; whom we nave not seen, . and from whom we have not 'as yet received any communication. • " We are, sir, your most obedient servants, " JOHN SCHNEIDER AND* CO. ""No._ 10, New Broad-street Mews, Oct 13;" " ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE ' MONITOR REPUBLWANO2 " ' Sir,—The arrangement of the foreign debt has been concluded in London—an arrangement which I had the honour of setting on foot when I discharged the duties of Minister of Hacienda. The large sum of more than 50,000,000 dollars is embraced by it, and on that account it claims the attention of the entire republic. Those of us whose duty it has bet n to participate in this grave matter have the right to expect from their fellow citizens that they will not pass judgment upon it with out examining previously, and with all the needful im partiality and circumspection, the important documents which have to be published, and in which will be seen the origin of this arrangement, its initiatory bases ; which were fixed by me when' I had charge of the Ministry, the modifications it has undergone, and the terms on which- it has been definitely established. I have with difficulty kept silence on this important matter; which, like all other great financial operations, has been, and ought to have been, private until its conclusion, but which has now been accomplished. Nothing, therefore, was written on the arrangement of the foreign debt, not withstanding some public writers have spoken of it many times very erroneously, because it was impossible for them to have had under their notice the necessary data for judging of it. On a late occasion the editors of the Republican, in their number 164, have attempted to sum up the result of this most important negotiation in these few words, ' that the national treasury will receive almost nothing of the enormous sum which is . treated of in this affair, and that the good folks who, in the name of Mexico, hav e conc l u d e d i t would gain for themselves some millions of dollars.' I should most deeply deplore if such had been the sad result to the re public of a negotiation which was originated under my ministry, and by which I wished to secure so - many ad vantages for the nation, that this very circumstance was the reason why the bases which I had established were disapproved in London. But I believe the editors pi the Republican have very much erred in characterising in so unfavourable a manner the negotiation under notice, and I am sure that their good faith will cause them to change their opinion when they have the respective documents before them. I, therefore, entreat them to suspend their judgment for a few days, until these are published. " 'ln the mean time I will notice the errors into which it appears to me they have fallen. In the first place , I will obser ve th a t th e negot i at i on o f the conversion of the debt such as was set on foot under my ministry would be advantageous to the republic, even although the Ex chequer did not receive one single dollar, because, under the administration of Senor Herrera, the question treated of in the arrangement of this negotiation was - not so much that of receiving great sums of money as that of preserving the credit of Mexico, which in the succeeding year was liable to be very much comprOmised, and of diminishing the national debt by a considerable amount. Nevertheless, I have received under my ministry, and as an anticipated payment, half a million of dollars in effective money, without, as I re- • member, any charge for interest, and without the addi tion of paper or credit of any class. I will not say (be cause I do not yet know circumstantially the mode in . which this negotiation has terminated) what may be the sum which in effective money the Exchequer has yet to receive. The amount fixed, according to the bases which I subscribed, exceeded a million and a half of dollars. The sum which (according to the same bases) the national debt would be diminished would reach to 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 dolls.; but I can assert (trust ing in the probity of Senors Fernandez del Castillo and Paraes, who succeeded me in the Ministry) that what ever may be the amounts by which the sums upon which I have calculated may have been diminished, the result of the arrangement will still be very advantageous for Mexico. " ' With regard to the millions which the editors of the Republican° suppose the agents of the nation have gained in making this arrangement, much might be said, but I will limit myself at present to .the. de claration that one of the errors into which these gentlemen have fallen is that of believing that Senor Don Manuel Escaudon had been the party intrusted with the conversion of the debt on the behalf of the republic. I will say more, —that if this gentleman had been so intrusted, he would have discharged his duty in accordance with the instructions of Government, and with the same advantages which have now been obtained for Mexico. But I repeat, that Senor ,Escaudon (ac cording to the information I have received) has not inter fered in this matter in any official capacity. His Excel lency Senor Murphy, the Mexican Minister in LOndon, Senor Don Guillermo O'Brien, and the Senors Schneider, agents of the republic, have been the parties officially charged with this important operation. With regard to Senor Murphy, I have always entertained the most favourable idea of his talent and probity; but w hen I was discharging the duties of Minister of Hacienda, I found in the archives of that department so many docuinents which proved his patriotism, his - intelli gence, and lealty to the republic, that I did not hesi tate a moment in the belief -that he was without doubt the person best adapted for managing the grave operation in which the conversion of the debt consisted. Another person of talent and honour able feeling was required to co-operate in this matter, and after many and most scrupulous reports which I received, I determined to appoint Senor Don Guillerino O'Brien, an individual well-informed in Mexican affairs, intelligent in banking operations, of entire probity, and who, if my recollection rightly serve me, has already discharged very important commissions intrusted to him by the Government of our country. " ' With respect to the house of Senors Schneider, to whom I intrusted the agency of the republic, which was previously conducted by the Senors Lizardi, even my ouemies have done me the justice to confess that I made a wise election. A new proof of this is presented to us in the documents which the editors of the Republican. have recently published. At the meeting which the holders of Mexican bonds held in London, for the pur pose of examining the proposals of the Government re lative to the conversion of the debt, a committee pre sented its report on these proposals, and amongst other things expressed itself as follows :—' The committee cannot conclude their report without expressing their satisfaction at finding the agency of the Mexican re public in the hands of the highly respectable house to which it has been transferred : in their communications with that house they have seen an anxious desire to afford to the bondholders all the information which could be useful to them.' " ' It also appears to me that the editors of the Re- publican° have erred in believing that by the new ar rangement of the debt the tobacco revenue has been sold, and that the payment of anterior charges upon it had not been provided for. The tobacco revenue has been especially hypothecated, but it has not been sold, nor in any manner alienated ; and as regards the credits especially charged upon it, I am assured by persons who have seen the definitive arrangement, that those credits are in no way prejudiced. " 'As it may be interesting, and serve to illustrate this negotiation, I will add, that propositions for the conversion of the foreign debt had already been pre sented under the Provisional Administration, and that Senor Santa Anna (as I am informed) did not disap prove of them, although the conditions of this arrange ment were then less favourable to the republic than those which were afterwards adopted. " This is what I have at present to say on this im portant subject, reqw•sting the public will be Pleased to suspend its judgment until the important documents which are to be made public have been printed.
