(including the Extension Shares) ; AND GRIMSBY DOCK COMPANY. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. The Directors have the gratification to acquaint the Proprietors, that they have been successful in all their Parliamentary proceedings, both as regards the Sheffield and Lincolnshire and the Grimsby and Sheffield Lines, and the amalgamation of the whole with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway Company. In addition to the line from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, and the intended Docks at Grimsby, both sanctioned by Acts of the Last session, they have this year secured the lines from Sheffield to the Midland Railway, to Gainsborough, and to Lincoln ; also front Gains borough to Newark, and from New Holland en the south bank of the Humtler to Lincoln, with the right of constructing piers, and making an improved communication from New Holland across the River Humber to Hull, The Acts for all these lines and works, including the amal gamation, have already received, or now only wait, the royal assent. By the terms of the amalgamation, the proprietors in the Sheffield and Manchester Company will, until six months after the opening of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire and Grimsby and Sheffield lines, re ceive the profits realised on their own line ; and the proprietors in the other above-named amalgamating lines and works, will, during such time, receive interest at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum on the amount of calls actually paid up on their respective shares. When the Sheffield and Lincolnshire and Grimsby and Sheffield lines have been opened six months, thenceforth the shares of all the amalgamating companies will partake of the same rateable di vidend in proportion to the amount of their respective shares. The first payment of interest on calls is intended to be made in January next. By order of the Directors, J. H. HUMFREY, Secretary, Railway Office, Sheffield, July 24, 1846. GREAT GRIMSBY AND SHEFFIELD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. CALL on the 201. SHARES, and on the 121. 10s. SHARES (lately called the " EXTENSION " and "QUARTER" SHARES. The Directors of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Rail way Company having resolved, by virtue of their Act of Incorpora tion, to make a Call of Eighteen Shillings on the 201. Shares, and a Call of Ten Shillings on the 121. 10s. shares of this Company, the Shareholders are required to pay into one of the undermentioned banks, on or before THURSDAY, the 10th day of September next, the sum of Eighteen Shillings on each share of Twenty rounds, and of Ten Shillings on each share of Twelve Pounds Ten Shillings, now registered in their names. The bankers are instructed to charge in terest at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum on all sums tendered after the 10th of September, up to the day of payment. The half yearly dividends of five per cent. per annum will only be payable to those shareholders who shall have paid the calls due. By the 16th clause of Bth Viet. cap. 16, commonly called " The Companies Clauses Act," it is enacted that " No shareholder shall be entitled to transfer any share after any call shall have been made in respect thereof until he shall have paid such call, nor until he shall have paid all calls due for the time being, on every share held by him." The Company's hankers are—Messrs. Smith, Ellison, and Co., at Lincoln, Gainsborough, Caistor, Brigg, Market Rasen, and Grimsby ; or their agents, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, in London, to whom the calls may be remitted (accompanied by the call circular, which will be sent to the address of each shareholder), through any of their agents in the country, or through the Sheffield Banking Com pany, in Sheffield. Dated at the Company's office, in Sheffield, the 24th day of July, 1846. By order of the Directors, J. 11. HUMFREY, Secretary. N.B. Circulars will be posted to the address of each registered shareholder in due time to enable them to pay the above calls ; and it is requested that the said circulars may in all cases be forwarded with the amount due to the Company's bankers. The neglect of this notice is liable to cause delays and inconvenience ix the advices, and to prevent the individuals from being properly credited hi the Com pany's books. The sealed certificates of the 201. and 121. 10s. shares will be ready for issue in the early part of September, of which notice will be given.

Via C• (), ,„ 7 , are sacrificed every year, that the inhabitants of our towns are proverbially of more debilitated constitutions than the dwellers in the country, that contag;ous disorders sometimes ravage the land and decimate the population ; that 67,000 of our fellow countrymen were every year swept from creation by endemic and epidemic diseases. To say that this is not a matter requiring the resolute and speedy interposition of Government would be folly and cruelty to the last degree. All the washhouses and public baths, and Sewerage Acts, and copious supplies of water, and ventilation, and domestic drainings in the world, can never ensure the natural health of, or ward off unnatural maladies from, a people living in an artificial state of society unless the vestiges of mortality—in plainer words, the rotting corpses of our fellow creatures—be re moved from the vicinity of their living and breathing companions. And morally such a change would be beneficial. There is something more consonant with the divine, and tender, wad moving thoughts upon death, such as are evoked by Christianity—there is something, we say, more consonant with those so lemn and beautiful thoughts in the green grass, and the cowslips, and the night sky of a country churchyard, than in the mouldering planks, the greasy clay, and rusty bars of a city church yard. The tranquillity of the one is as appropriate as the din around the other is detestable and distracting. Rejoiced, as we should have been, to see Mr. MACKINNON'S motion for the second reading of the Public Cemeteries' Bill acquiesced in, we shall, nevertheless, await in patience and hope the re-intro duction of the matter by the Government, under Lord JoHN RUSSELL. Our patience in this particular will be the more sincere as we continue sanguine that the subject will receive the revision as well as the patro nage of the Administration. We have perused the report of what passed at the meeting, held in Conciliation Hall on Monday last, with feelings of unmixed satisfaction. The antici pated presence of Mr. O'CONNELL imparted a peculiar interest to the proceedings, as it was known he had left London for the express purpose of justifying his conduct in the face of his enemies, and of offering his counsel to the Association as to the course to be pursued in consequence of the secession from its body of Mr. S. O'BRIEN and his turbulent clique. Mr. O'CONNELL has triumphed in every way. He found ready to his hand, as soon as he set his foot upon his native shDre, letters addressed to him by distinguished men of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, admirably calculated, to strengthen his unflinching determi nation, by moral means alone, to succeed in re dressing the political ills of Ireland. The letter of Dr. HIGGINS was at once seasonable and severe, but not more severe than just. We cannot resist tran scribing the following extract : "We have witnessed with sorrow the disgraceful scenes that have lately taken place in Conciliation Hall, and have felt the deepest indignation and disgust at the shallow sophistry and flippant impertinence exhibited by the few young men who so childishly style themselves Young Ire land. Do these persons already forget that all their import ance, if any they possess, is owing to your superhuman and unbounded influence? Or do they imagine the whole country will ever start up at their wild bidding; throw moral force and O'Connell to the winds ; trample upon God's holy com mandments; violate their sworn allegiance to their gracious Sovereign ; and, under the magic spell of puritanical rank and Jacobin impiety, sally forth from their peaceable fire sides to be butchered in an unequal and fruitless contest? Assuredly, if such be the expectations of the Young England party, they must look on their fellow-countrymen as the reriest idiots upon the face of the earth, whilst, at the same time, they draw down upon themselves the scorn and laugliter of every true repealer in Ireland." The confidence of the Romish priesthood is, if possible, increased in Mr. O'CONNELL by the divergent tactics of the " physical force" party. The unbounded influence which they exercise over their respective and multitudinous flocks is beyond dis pute. The detestable doctrines broached by Young Ireland compel every well-conditioned man to stand aloof from them. Numerically, mentally, and morally, then, these factious demagogues, and gun powder tyros, have happily placed themselves hors de combat. The split is irremediable. We predicted as much last week, and we rejoice that our vaticination has been justified. The Liberator boldly denounced every seceder as a traitor, Mr. S. O'BRIEN excepted. To him only did he leave open the door of repentance. We know not what may be the future political career of Mr. S. O'BRIEN. It would be difficult to foretel it of the possessor of so vapouring a temperament. Our hope is that Mr. O'CONNELL may live long to guide his country to a safe redemption from the oppression under which she has suffered. But, should we be disappointed in this, we are persuaded that, after what has occurred, his sagacity is too keen to permit him to recommend the Member for Limerick as a proper person to fill his place. It is evident from the following sentence in the letter already alluded to, from the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh, that a great moral respon- sibility would attach to any such recommendation : " I feel thoroughly convinced, if it were the will of PROVIDENCE to warn you to-morrow of your near dissolution, the Irish nation would unanimously adopt, as their political guide, that man alone whom you would bequeath to them as worthy of their con fidence." Mr. O'CONNELL broadly declared that the present Government should hare his strenuous support. "He was convinced that so much good to the country way never tendered by a Government, and so much pru dence and discretion were never so necessary on the part of the people." Probably no man out of the Cabinet knows better than Mr. O'CONNELL the outline of the ameliorating measures for Ireland intended tc be introduced next session by the Government; and certainly few men could compete with him in capa city for judging of their salutary efficacy. More over, no one is more fully aware than the Irish leader of the folly of harassing a well-intentioned Adminis tration by any untoward demonstration of violent conduct in Conciliation Hall : his present moderating policy is, therefore, equally a proof of his wisdom. and true patriotism. The imbecility of the rebellion' seceders, in having arraigned those repealers whc, have accepted office, was felicitiously ex posed ; for either they were sincere or insincere, when they upbraided Lord EBRINGTON for considering a repealer disqualified from holding office. If sincere, they should have praised the Government for remov ing the ban of exclusion, and have congratulated the present recipients of office. But, as they have not done this, but have, on the contrary, denounced them, they have, independently of the impolicy of their views, furnished indelible proofs of their former insin cerity. 'We have them here inextricably seated be tween the horns of a dilemma. Conducted in the way in which the Association now is, ruled over by such a master spirit as O'CoNNELL ' s, fenced round with the most solemn declarations, that by the action of the pure and unalloyed principles of moral force only shall its energies be devoted to the regeneration of Ireland, we see no reason to regret its existence, because we are satisfied that, simultane ously with the realisation of equal rights to those enjoyed by Great Britain, the Association will be either voluntarily dissolved, or crumble iLto insignifi cance. " You take my house when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house : you take my life When you do take the means whereby I live." Conciliation Hall serves the purpose of a political venti lator, and acts wholesomely enough for the time. With a stinted franchise, and but a spare number of repre sentatives, it is not unnatural that an ardent, discon tented, and suffering people, should sympathise with an Association which offers a safe outlet to their feelings, and authoritatively sets forth the wrongs by which they are oppressed. The phantom of repeal troubles not our brains. O'CONNELL has frequently alleged that without the co-operation of the Protestants repeal is hopeless, and for their support he will look in vain. If Ireland were as righteously governed as England and Scotland, repeal would never be de manded. Scotland might then just as well agitate for a severance of her union, as Ireland. Neither would the absurdity stop short of kingdoms, for u a n n i d te d, might, numerous as farcounty, us a o b i- , t r t a w e ' two ar gument gor or is n j d u e s p t e n as d e reasonably o n t y i startn fine, for a a we relapsed into anoth er H eptarchy. It is not pre tended, that, were equa l r i g h ts conceded th-to Ireland, there would still remain in that,e,g r . 4rtr'gr political peculiarities, establishing the n ecess i ty for a separate legislature. The latthr pri vilege has only been earnestly sought for, from the partial belief that England never would place Ire landmoreseveral, extensive ofthem upon the same footin gwith herself in all other respectF. Our past rule may have done much to strengthen this belief, but we rejoice to think we have reached a period when a beneficent Spirit will influence our national councils, and prosper and direct all their consultations, to the safety, honour, and welfare of that afflicted country. The report of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Paris on the questions referred to them by the French Government, with a view to their giving an opinion on the quarantine laws, is a document of the greatest importance, and from which we may eventually hope for the most valuable results, in the relaxation, and, perhaps, ultimate abolition of the odious system, by which the most injurious effect:, have been produced—by Ns hich science has been impeded, travelling obstructed, and commerce, navigation, and manufactures seriously restricted. The report of these learned gentlemen, which is in every way worthy of their high reputa tions, objects in the strongest manner to the system now in use by the authorities of Mar seilles, where the quarantine regulations are most frequently used, and which it justly designates as having been adopted under the influence of exagge rated fear and a total ignorance of the limits of danger, and as stamped in several points with a character of barbarism which demands an early reform. The: Commission pro poses a line of conduct entirely opposed to the mea sures now taken. It is suggested they should be re placed by means simple and easy of execution, and which have already received the sanction of expe rience. The report is divided into four branches : the first refers to countries in which the plague has arisen, or still arises, spontaneously; the second, to its epide mic or sporadic character, and to the manner in which it propagates itself ; the third treats of the transmissibility of the disease ; and the fourth of what is the common or exceptional time for the incubation of the plague. It then introduces the applications therefrom to the question of quarantine. On the first branch, after giving a definition of what the plague is, and the general characteristics of the several localities in which it has arisen spontaneously at different times, they arrive at the conclusion, that in all countries where the disease has been observed to be'spontaneous, it may reasonably be considered to arise from certain causes acting on a great portion of the population. Those causes are, living on a marshy soil, near the Mediterranean sea— near certain rivers, the Nile, the Euphrates, or the Danube—living in houses that are low, not well ventilated, and where there exists a superabundant .accumulation of inhabitants—hot and damp air—the action of animal and vegetable substances in a state 4,f decomposition ; and, lastly, great moral and human misery. In Lower Egypt, where these causes are chiefly prevalent, the disease is endemic. It is observed to resume the sporadic form every year—that is, when it tttacks a small number of separate individuals, and is wanting in the character belonging to epidemic diseases; and the epidemic, where it attacks a vast number of persons in a given time, about once in every ten years. After showing that this country, now so frightfully afflicted, and from which the prin cipal danger of the importation of the disease is to be 'eared, was for a long space of time kept free "rom the epidemic by good administration and the exertions of the sanatory police of the country, hey state their expectation that the adoption of -he same means would be followed by the same results. We have thus the hope afforded to as, that by energetic measures being adopted in Egypt, the scourge may eventually be banished from the face of the earth. Surely such a desirable result —a consummation so devoutly to be wished for— would justify the different European Governments more particularly the French and English, in remon strating with MEHEMET ALT, who now presides over the destinies of that nation, who has already intro laced so many and such valuable reforms, and who bas evinced the strongest anxiety for the ameliora tion of the condition of his people. Is it not to be supposed that if the restrictions and expenses occa sioned thereby to the commercial interests of his country, which he has proved himself so desirous of tdvancing, were clearly pointed out, that he would Adopt every siiggestion calculated to attain the object; md from the extraordinary power belonging to an Eastern Sovereign he would have the means of loing so more readily available than in a more imited monarchy would la) possible ? Sincerely do Re hope that no time will be lost by our Government in taking measures with these of other nations for so greatly advancing the interests of humanity. Independent of the considerations which must `lave such weight with all philanthropists, the mere political economist must feel most desirous of the re "ormation of a system the maintenance of which has been so costly. It has been calculated that commerce has been taxed for the support of the quarantine laws 'o the extent of from 1,000,0001. to 2,000,0001. per annum ; but even that expense, great as it is, is of less consequence than the vexation and lelay attendant thereon. The report of which we have been speaking clearly proves the utter inutility of by far the greater portion of these regulations, and testifies that they may be either wholly abo lished, or, at least, subjected to such changes as, in a great degree, to do away with the principal grievances. One country alone can do nothing : if England alone should take the lead, which she has ever done, by the removal of these commercial restrictions, and the adop tion of a sounder and better principle, her commerce might possibly be subjected to a greater degree of in convenience by the additional stringency to which it would be subjected by the nations whose prejudices had not been removed, and which still cling to the antiquated and objectionable system with obstinacy and pertinacity. It can, therefore, only be attained by persuasion and losing no opportunity of calling the attention of other nations to the oractical result of the observations of the Academy. We trust, at least, that the attempt will be made by our Liberal Government. They may be unable to command success, but let them deserve it; and, should they happily be successful, and induce the principal nations of the earth to join with them in the total abolition of these vexatious laws, they will have conferred a most valuable boon on the great mercantile and commercial interests of their country. It is impossible for us to follow the report through all its parts, suffice it to say, that it states that the disease is propagated by local and atmospheric causes, and not by contagion, and that it is not conveyed by goods or merchandise—and that, at a distance from countries where the pest is ende mic and out of the focus of infection, it never broke out among persons that had been exposed to its action after they had been isolated eight days. Letters from Rome of the 28th state that the emeute at Cesana, in which a captain of the Swiss Guard was killed, was merely an affair between the guard and a body of smugglers. The PoPE, however, has ordered the Swiss troops in garrison at Cesana to be removed, and it is expected that one of the first acts of the administration of Cardinal Gizzt will be to reduce the number of Swiss in the pay of the Pore. His HOLINESS presided over the deliberations of the Committee of Education, consisting of sixteen cardinals, on the 26th ult., and, it is said, proposed the introduction of many improvements in the system of public education. At Berne the new constitution was adopted, on the Ist instant, by a large majority of the inhabitants, in public meeting assembled. The Military Commission of Inquiry at Cracow has completed its labours ; 1,250 prisoners were ex amined ; of these 200 have been delivered up to Austria and Russia ; 220 remain in prison in Cra crow, to undergo a trial before the Civil Commission. composed of two Austrian, two Russian, and two Prussian judges, with a President, and 830 have been set at liberty. The Emperor NICHOLAS addressed, on the 25th of June, the following edict to the nobles of Esthonia:— " TO OUR BELOVED, FAITHFUL, AND DISTINGUISHED NOBLES OF THE GOVERNMENT OF ESTHONIA. " The nobles of Esthonia have presented to us their propo sitions relative to the organisation of the condition of the peasants in this province. A committee especially appointed for that purpose having examined these measures, which fully answer our expectations, we bestow on them our ap probation, and it is with peculiar satisfaction that we ex press our imperial goodwill to the nobles of Esthonia for this fresh proof of their generous efforts for the general welfare. In the conviction that the nobles of Esthonia will continue in the same spirit to deliberate on the final mea sures which this question demands, we assure them of our imperial goodwill. " NICHOLAS." Madrid papers of the :10t1 - 1 have been received. So great has 1-)E. , 0 the desertion among the Spanish troops stationed on the Portuguese frontier, that General VILLA LoNGA has issued a bando, con demning every soldier who quits his post to enter Portugal to be shot three hours after his arrest. The Heraldo, which has recently been publishing a series of articles advocating an invasion of Portugal, and in one of which it openly and boldly defied the powerofEngland, which would it said at once succumb if Spain acted with proper spirit, has now, acting no doubt upon instructions, taken upon itself the whole respon sibility of those articles, declaring that the opinions it has published are not those of the Spanish Cabinet. It appears that the propriety of an armed interfe rence in the affairs of Portugal has been fre quently discussed of late in the Spanish Cabinet, and at length Senor IsTuRlTz, who has all along been opposed to an armed intervention, has, it is said, brought round the majority► of his colleagues to his opinion, so that, notwithstanding the efforts of General SAN; backed as those efibrts have been by Count BRESSON, the French Ambassador, to whose inspirit: tion it is supposed the articles in the Iferaldo are due, there will be no invasion of Portugal after all. According to the Chunor Pub/ico, General RON-. CALI has been appointed Captain-General of Cuba, and Senor CARONDELET, Captain-General of the Philippine Islands. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The elections still continue to go in favour of the Ministers. At the time the latest accounts left Paris the results of 446 elections were known, giving the Ministry a majority of 102 ; the numbers being, Minis terialists, 276; Opposition, 172. It is calculated that the Ministerial majority in the new Chamber will exceed 120. Every one of the Ministers has been elected, and M. DE SALYANDY, the Minister of Public Instruction, has been returned for two places. Among the Depu ties re•elected are M. D'EICHTHAL, the hanker, the Marquis DE MONTALEMBERT, Marshal Bu- GLAUD, and M. DUPIN. The Legitimatists and the Republicans are all but annihilated, as far as the Chamber is concerned, by these elections. There will, in fact, be only two great constitutional parties in it—the one led by M. GUIZOT, the other by M. TRIERS and M. ODILON BARROT. The Oppo sition papers endeavour to find consolation for their misfortunes by making much of the defeat of M. JAEQUES LEFEBVRE in the second arrondissement of Paris. The Commerce alone honestly confesses that the Opposition have been soundly beaten, but it attributes the Ministerial victory to corruption. The Moniteur announces that the moment the Minister of Justice was informed of the false and alarming rumours which were circulated at Rouen and Paris on the 2d, he gave orders to the Attor neys-General of those two cities to institute a judicial inquiry to ascertain the origin of those rumours. The 3loniteur Algerien of the 30th states that ADD• EL-FADER, accompanied by Bou MAZA, and a smal number of followers, who were in a state of grea distress, has taken refuge in Morocco. -"" The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 83f. 50c. ; the Five per Cents., 122 f. 15c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,272 f. 50e.; Rouen, 9751. ; Havre, 692 E 50c.; Great Northern, 701 f. 25c.; Avignon, 877 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 615 E; Bordeaux, 553 f. 75c.; Dieppe, 390 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 485 E ; Tours and Nantes, 497 f. 50c.; Paris and Lyons, 510 f. ; Lyons and Avignon, 490 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 4861.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room C, HUDDERSFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY AND CANAL (01.33.11A/VI nnaNcs). OLDHAM, MANCE ESTER, LIVERPOOL, AND BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION. The Committee on these Bills, consisting of the Earl of Radnor (chairman), the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Lyttelton, ,Lord Montfort, and Lord Strangford, met to-day at eleven o'clock. HUDDERSFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAIL WAY AND CANAL (OLDHAM mcnalvca). This Bill was opposed by several petitioners, and, amongst the rest, by the Manchester and Leeds Company. Mr. Sergeant WKANGIIAM, who opened the case for the promoters, said that the Bill in suppoi t of which he appeared was for obtain. ing a railway which branched off from the Huddersfield and Manchester line, which Bill had been sanctioned last session. The line proposed to be constructed would branch off at a point on the Manchester and Huddersfield line near Lidgate, and then proposed to proceed to Oldham. The length of the proposed line was between three and four miles. The object was to afford a shorter route between the eastern and western parts of Yorkshire. The town of Oldham was important, and the chief manufactures were the spinning and the weaving of cot ton, and the making of machinery. The neighbourhood was rich in minerals and there was a large coal trade carried on in the neigh bourhood. The preamble or this Bill had been proved before the other House without'any evidence being heard, the Committee, from their local knowledge, being satisfied of its importance. There was no injury inflicted by the railway which could not come wider the head of compensation. The Learned Counsel then called evidence. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meetingof this Company was held in the Board Room, at the terminus, London-bridge, to-day, at eleven o'clock. The Hon. Capt. Ilursinm, R.N., having taken the chair, called on the Secretary to read the notice of meeting. After the seal of the Company had been attached to the registered list of the shareholders, The Cx.littmAN said it would not be necessary for him to detain the meeting with any lengthened statement. They were aware of the circumstances under which they met, that it was merely in compliance with the Act of Parliament. They were aware also that the Brighton and Chichester line had been completed, and was opened to the public, and that the traffic on it was satisfactory. He said the Portsmouth extension was in progress, and the Eastern portion •. was considerably advanced, and he might say with confidence that by tha end of the year, or early next season, it would be entirely completed, and that as soon as it was completed the transfer of the line would be made to the Brighton Company. A statement of the accounts, up to the 30th of June was then laid upon the table, making the whole expenditure amount to 93,813/. 18s. 6d. Mr. COOPER moved that the report and accounts be re , ceived and entered on the minutes. Mr. HILL seconded the motion, which was carried nein. con. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was passed, and the meeting adjourned. 'LONDON JOINT-STOCK AND COUNTY BANK.—(TIIIS DAY.) The usual half-yearly meeting of this Company took place this day, at the London Tavern. The chair was taken by Afr. The SUMMARY read the report, which stated that the affairs of the Company were in the most flourishing and satisfactory condition. The CHAIRMAN announced a dividend of 6 per cent. This announcement was received with great approbation ; and after a vote of thanks had been passed to the Chair man, the meeting separated. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—His Roya Highness the Duke of Cambridge and suite visited these gardens yesterday evening, to witness the eruption of Ve suvius. His Ito . ) al Highness passed most flattering enco miums upon Mr. Tyler, on the success of the spectacle, and also in a most feeling and condescending manner congratu lated him on the little amount of damage done to the gar dens by the late storm. FIRST PERFORMANCE OF BALFE'S OPERA, " THE BOHEMIAN Givi,," AT VlENNA.—Balfe's opera of The Bohe mian Girl was produced at Vienna, on the 24th of July; the overture and six pieces of music, were rapturously encored; and as the public of Vienna are not so much inclined to encore as in England, this must be considered an extraor dinary success. Balfe may now be considered the most popular composer in Vienna, as, independently of his success, his opera, The Castle of Aymon, is nightly per formed at two theatres. VAUXHALL-GARDENS.—Thefae. of St. George, which was celebrated here last evening, was attmded by more than the usual number of visitors. The weather was propitious, and though up till a late hour in the day the clouds were lowering, the night cleared up, and patronised the patron saint. The attractions of the evening were increased by the ascent of the coronation balloon, which took place at ten o'clock, in the presence of several thousand spectators, from the firework-ground. It took a direction towards Richmond, a light wind blowing at that moment from the east. When at a tolerably lofty elevation, Mr. Green, who was alone in the car, discharged the fireworks, suspended at a consider able distance beneath him. The effect of this pyrotechnic disk lay was splendid beyond what is usually exhibited. The remainder of the entertainments, consisting of equestrian fireworks, performances, a it the he dancing,stnigs ofk the ept t qui vice for many hours, nor was it ti ll lon g past midnight that the gay throng thought of go in g home, and left the E he th c i o o m pi p a a n ny harmonises, o n a perpet the gardens to peace and quietude.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was very active. The sales were 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including 800 American and 200 Brazilian on speculation and for export.-Shares were steady, but not so buoyant. The intellig,lice by the West India mail notices a conti nued improvement in the weather, which was favourable Mr the planters in Jamaica, Barbadoes, Demerara, &c. The Coolies in the latter colony seemed inclined to turn to handicraft and trading pursuits, but in any way we think they must certainly be valuable to the colony. The fine weather comes too late to do more than improve the prospect for next year's crop. This season's will be lamentably deficient. There was a scarcity of shipping at Barbadoes. The public securities have been rather dull, and the slight decline in prices which occurred yesterday afternoon has not been recovered. Consols for present transfer have realised 95 3 4 to 95X 3 , and for time 96 to 1. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been also lower, viz., 977 g/ to 93.

Among the various means of materially improv ing the sanatory condition of our populace, none are likely to produce such immediate benefit, whether morally or physically, as the regulation of public cemeteries upon a different system than the present. So thoroughly convinced are we of this circumstance, that we have never tired, nor shall we ever tire, of in veighing against the pernicious grievances incident to the present arrangement, until it be altogether and permanently abandoned, and one of an entirely dif ferent character substituted. Feeling thus earnestly in regard to the precarious tenure of public health, under the existing evils of burying-grounds within our most populous cities, we are heartily rejoiced to perceive that Mr. MACKINNON has re:talled the serious atten tion of the Legislature to the subject, by moving for the second reading of the Public Cemeteries' Bill. We regard those Members of our representative assembly with peculiar interest, and, we must acknow ledge, with a kind of paramount partiality, who labour arduously and unostentatiously for benefac tions to their common country. Such men as these we look upon as the most laudable and legitimate, because the most retiring and the most hard-working of our legislative patriots. They contemn the mere tricious glories of faction; they may be classified as among those who, on a large scale, "do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame." As we re gard the fabrication of the sickle or the plough as immeasurably beyond the marvellous inventors of eurehas, and automata, and eccentric clocks, we re gard these abolishers of social scourges as of a loftier renown than that acquired by the METTER NICHS and the TALLETRANDS, in the adroit and so phistical construction of treaties and protocols. How much more advantage has been entailed upon succes sive generations by the first shoemaker, than by the first worker in tinsel and lacquer ! Precisely ana logous are those descriptions of statesmen whom we have particularised and contrasted. Again we repeat our gratification at the revival of the ques tion of public burial-grounds by Mr. MAC KINNON. He has recognised the extraordinary benefits that would accrue to the community by some radical alteration in the present localities and the _other baneful concomitants connected with our churchyards._ Nor do the Ministers evince any disregard to the necessity of such a change. From the incidental observations of Sir GEORGE GREY we are deeply rejoiced to see that it is the intention of Government to incorporate with other sanatory mea sures now in preparation, some plan for an alteration similar to the one proposed by the Hon. Member for Lymington. Mr. Macarrmost has, after the most approved fashion of preachinnd propounding, divided his proposition into the% distinct heads, all of them likely to prove individual causes to a common effect. First, he insists upon the necessity of preventing all interments within the precincts of large towns, or populous places; secondly, of speedily committing the bodies of the poor to the earth, so as to lessen the chances of the spread of pestilential disorders; thirdly, of puttingsome limitation upon the charges of undertakers and others, the like gloomy craftsmen, who ,-... are at present enabled to impose upon their unwilling employers by the mostAexorbitant charges. We conceive that th i e foregoing classification is judicious enough, as far as it extends, but we be lieve that there are other collateral requisites in this reform which should have been distinctly specified, and successively enumerated. With the prevention of interments within towns should have been joined the prevention of interments in thßyaults of such sacred edifices as are habitually us 4 as places of public worship, and thousands of which structures would not come undl the influence of the preliminary clause of this ill. Is it not contrary to common sense, to imagine that sound health can be pre served in our rural districts, and contagi ous diseases avoided in the sequestered hamlets of England, when every Sunday the coun try folks assemble together in their churches, some times as well " suited for the reception of the parishioners as a thimble to a quart of gooseberries ? Can health of body and avoidance of contagious maladies, we repeat it, be insured when a crowd of these labourers assemble every Sunday in their diminutive church and sit there for hours in the broiling heat of summer, with the steam and stench of mortality reeking up through the planks or tiles of the floor from the decaying flesh of their brethren in the vaults beneath ? Is it possible that while breathing such a pestilential atmosphere at periodical intervals, these people can preserve the purity of their own blood, and the wholesome or ganisation of their " tissues ?" It is from such monstrous and unnecessary evils as this, it is from the inhalation of the vapours arising from animal decomposition, it is from the living poor sleeping for many successive nights in the same room with the dead poor ( and this particularly in the dense quarters of our metropolis), it is from unwholesome earth of our City gray. pits i nfusing a subtle poison into the l ungs of ou r e• civilians, _that thousands of lives Real del Monte, Unregistered .. .. .. 33% .. .

MILITARY FLOGGING.--The following resolution was agreed to on Tuesday evening, Aug. 4, at a meeting of the National Association, 242, Holborn :—" That the punishment by flogging, as practised in the army and navy, is disgraceful to a civilised nation, brutalising and cruel to the men who witness and endure it, and inefficacious as a means for the suppression of vice and crime. That th 3 late cruel and bar barous exhibition of this punishment at Hounslow calls for a strong expression of public opinion, to obtain which it is resolved that a public meeting be held lathe Hall, on Thurs day, August 13th."
