Congratulations are, doubtless, being reciprocated in the Conservative Cabinet of Versailles. Never, however, has there been less cause for congratulation in the French Government since the glorious revolu tion of '3O. King Louts PHILIPPE may rejoice at the consummation of this Spanish intrigue, but the French people have infinite reason to deplore that in auspicious ceremonial. To the former the marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER is a specious assurance of the consolidation of his dynastic interests. To the latter those nuptials are only an augury of diplo matic embarrassments and disrupted alliances. A species of fatality appears to have characterised the recent proceedings of the GUIZOT Administration. The French Ministers and their subordinates must have swallowed one of those draughts of fasci nation familiar to Arabic literature ; the magic rose-leaf of NOURAJAHBAD must have been secretly conveyed to the shoulder of the Count DE BRESSON ; or that astute ambassador and his colleagues must have degenerated into the syco phantic agents of royal cupidity. Without one or other of these preliminaries, the efficials of the Tuileries could never have proceeded with such un bending pertinacity in the facilitation of a marriage so manifestly inimical to the national interests of France, and so opposed to the happiness of present and prospective millions. No partialities, however, could retard this unfortunate union ; no desires were sufficiently powerful to diminish the anxiety for its realisation. Much as the GUIZOT party had sacri ficed for, and long as they had endeavoured to perpe tuate the existence of the entente cordiale—the entente cordiale was sacrificed because it was an obstacle to the Montpensier marriage. Valuable and protracted as had been the European peace, the Euro pean peace was placed in imminent jeopardy because the Orleans family was solicitous fur the Montpen sier marriage. Dangerous and even fatal as French interference in Peninsular affairs had been at the commencement of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen turies, that peril was courted, because by such an in terference alone could the Montpensier marriage be arranged. The dignified protests of England, the lowering aspect of the Spanish population, the histo rical warnings of Louis XI%T. and NAPOLEON 1., the dissatisfaction evinced by many Frenchmen, and the continuance ofternational friendships, were all equally despise And why ? Because the only marriageable son of Lours PIIILLIPPE would thereby obtain an opulent bride, together with the possible reversion of a crown ; because the European influence of that SOVEREIGN would be thereby ma terially enhanced ; because the old Bourbon aspiration of virtually annihilating the Pyrenees would be thereby accomplished, and because, forsooth, the mar riage of his Royal highness of Montpensier with the INFANTA would tend very marvellously aggrandisement of the regal importance of the Orleans dynasty ! Surely, this sacrifice of the wishes, the interests, and possibly the heart's blood of a free people, simply for the domestic advantage of the grandson of Egalite, is but a sorry consummation of the undying principles and prodigious struggles of the French Revolution ! Surely it i s the tacit abnega tion of all those glorious concessions to the majesty of th li - e'lt • . 7attiThruilre then obtained at the cost of so much • • sio ar.tdaTiilibr exercise of such gigantic powers! .2 , ._ ~ - -, _• ki .. 7_ 114at-tOrqequel to the first brilliant achieve i..4l---•44l.4tgitres4dt monarch of France, It is not ~. . ..„,-., 1 . Z . „, - - • _ .1 -_ AI a S well to see the same man gambling away the inde pendence of a great nation for the selfish end of his own family emolument who, as the Due DE Cunt- TRES, fleshed his svverd so bravely in the charges of Jemappes under the banners of DIIMOURIER. King Louis PUILIEPE should have conned over the lessons imparted by the history of his own country before be embarked upon this dangerous enter prise. He should, as every conscientious So vereign does, have read the records of his people, and have been warned by the blun ders of his imperial predecessors. Had he suffi ciently weighed the precedents of Gallic interference in the affairs of Spain, he would have been more cautious in hazarding the same species of catastrophe upon a similar enterprise. Possibly, the upholders of the recent policy of the French.SovEnuicx may regard these objections to that policy as of a rather penultimate character. Not so. Ihe marriage has undoubtedly been solemnized. Telegraphs and couriers have unquestionably conveyed the intelli gence to Paris. Bonfires have been kindled round the Pardo, gans have been fired from the Escurial, flowers and perfumes have been scattered upon the sacred pavements of Atocha, in honour of this illustrious occurrence. The Infanta LUISA is now Duchess of MONTPEN SIER. So far, the wishes of Louis PHILIPI93 have been realised—so far, his insatiable lust of political influence has been gratified. But, observe the con comitants of these proceedings, and behold the prospects of woe which gloom through this hollow jubilation. The sullen and ominous silence of the multitude assembled in the streets of Madrid on the entrance of the French Princes, the seizure of refrac tory newspapers, the bayonets and artillery that bristled round the carriage of the foreign bridegroom, the se verities which preceded his arrival at the capital, the unseemly rapidity with which the nuptials were solemnized—everything betrays the indignation of the Spanish populace, and the sense of insecurity which had taken possession of the minds of the contracting parties. Nor does the silly attempt at assassination by OLAYARIETTA sufficiently account for the extraordinary pre cautions taken by the gendarmerie for the preserva tion of the life of the Duc DR MONTPENSIER. Statements the most garbled have disgraced the Ministerial journals of Paris, evidently written with an anxiety to delude the popular imagination. Such incidents as the determination of the Ayunta mientos of Madrid to cause the marriage of twelve orphans with liberal dotations, in commemoration of the royal espousals, have been vaunted in terms of amazing exultation ; while others, such as the refusal of the Ayuntamientos of Burgos to dispatch a congratu latory deputation, have been slurred over as of not the smallest importance. This ministerial hypocrisy will, however, prove of no ultimate advantage. The desti tute condition of Ireland, the implied apathy of the protesting nation, and the embarrassments supposed to threaten our Indian possessions, will not, as is presumed, shield France from the diffi culties her rulers have themselves originated. In relation to these imaginings, we would especially remind the Ministerial press of Paris, that churlish ness is not logic, that parade is not triumph, and that, though Colonel BLOOD could bear a regalia away in his pocket, it would be somewhat difficult fur any one to commit a burglary upon a constitution, or to carry off, surreptitiously, the affections and obedience of a people. Great emergencies compel a recourse to extraordi nary means to overcome transitory and unforeseen difficulties. The functions of a Government are pri marily of an executive character. Their next chief duty is to take the initiative in legislating upon all matters of important public interest. This duty is best performed when the Executive are successful in anticipating the wants of the people. Inasmuch as Parliament is not always assembled, and also because, even when it is, legislation is frequently a tardy pro cess, the Government are authorised in many in stances by orders in Council, to check an evil, which, without such intervention, would prove highly in jurious to the country ; and again, such is the imper fection of human wisdom, that Ministers, overtaken by unexpected embarrassments of vast national con cern, have frequently, and with marked wisdom, either exceeded a particular law, or altogether set it aside upon their own responsibility, trusting to Parliament to indemnify them for their several or collective acts. We have recently had a notable instance of this policy in the conduct of Lord BESBOROUGH. The defects of the Labour-rate Act for Ireland were peculiarly manifest. The Lord- Lieutenant, warmly pressed by all the leading men in Ireland to extend its operations, has adopted the recommendation upon his own responsibility. But, although this is a wise resolution, yet it is not to be doubted that it would have been infinitely better in the Government to have concurred in the propriety of its adoption much earlier than they did. Much of valuable time has been lost by the delay, and we are so much behind hand in carrying out the necessary means for mitigating the alarming consequences of the heavy visitation that has fallen upon Ireland. The evils the Administration had to cope with lay glaringly on the surface, and weeks ago not a moment should have been lost by them, in either convening Parliament for the necessary powers, or in assuming them, as they have at length done, upon the faith of future indemnity. This was precisely a state of things where energy and boldness on the part of a Government could have been most happily and efficaciously exhibited ; instead of which, the Cabinet have failed, to a great extent, in what is an invaluable portion of their duty, the anti cipation of the wants of the community, first, by not having passed their Labour-rate 13111 so as to autho rise and include theinvestment of capital in reproduc tive works in Ireland, and next by the procrastina tion they permitted previous to curing this defect in the way we have alluded to. Delay is often tanta mount to destruction, and exigencies will not stand still whilst numerous public meetings are being as sembled to indicate to the Executive the adequate steps to be adopted for warding off great and im pending calamities. The celebrated PITT, was in the habit of having closeted with him the leading mercan tile men, and by these means was eminently success ful in legislating in due season for the security of commercial harmony. Last year Sir ROBERT PEEL, fully alive to the then existing and greater prospective distress in Ireland, was prepared to open the ports, and subsequently stated is Parliament, that had his colleagues not coincided with his own views, he was fully prepared to undertake the entire responsibility of that and every other means for averting the horrors of famine that menaced to shadow the length and breadth of the sister isle. We have been led to these observations in conse quence of an important memorial that has been ad dressed to Lord Joust RUSSELL by the working classes of Manchester, at a public meeting which they held in their Town-hall on Tuesday last. They have entreated the Government to call an immediate Council, to throw open the ports of the United Kingdom to all kinds of provisions, free of duty. We trust the Cabinet will promptly accede to their re quest. The rise in the price of bread has within a short time become nearly equivalent to three fifths of its entire cost. The consequence is, that the receipts of the general tradesman are seriously diminished, and the home market for manufactures is already in a languishing condition. But what should determine the Govern ment in favour of the memorialists is, that, by the statistics presented at their meeting, it would appear there is an abundance of food in the country, and that, therefore, the enhanced price of bread is attri butable to speculation. We blame not the mono polising holders of corn ; they have a right to use their capital as they think most advantageous to themselves; but we shall view it as a matter of serious culpability if, when famine and crime are haunting us on all sides, the servants of the Crewn should not put an end to the noxious system of gambling which is being carried on in the chief article of human food. Let the ports be promptly opened ; it will immediately once more place the loaf within the reach of the starving poor, arrest the hand of crime, enliven commerce, and speedily dispel the gloom which is hourly pervading every portion of her MAJESTY'S dominions. We have news from Geneva of the 12th. The Provisional Government was conducting affairs in the most orderly manner, and the canton was per fectly tranquil. The party in the a.:cendant do not appear disposed to abuse their victory. The Revue de Geneve, which is conducted by M. JAMES FAZY, the chief of the revolutionists, contains an article strongly condemnatory of a proposition which had been made in an anonymous paper circulated through the city for the formation of an exceptional tribunal for the trial of those members of the ex-Government who had ordered the troops to fire on the people. Madrid papers of the 9th have arrived. the He rald() says— " Two days ago it was reported that the British Go vernment had sent in another energetic note against the consequences of the marriage of the Infante; but yester day we were assured on the contrary that Queen Vic toria had written a very satisfactory letter to Louis Philippe, in reply to one which she had received from him. The rise of the funds here yesterday is attriLuted to this announcement." The same journal, in allusion to the man who had been arrested on a charge of attempting to shoot the Duc BE MONTPENSIER, says there are various rumours as to who he is, but it is disposed to attach credit to a report that he is the brother of one of the tutors of the daughters of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, and that he is insane, and will probably be confined in one of the lunatic asylums. Mr. BULWER returned to Madrid on the evening of the Bth, and on the same day Mr. COBDEN arrived in that city. 9.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Madrid correspondent of the Constitutionnel gives the following account of the reception of the French Princes in the Spanish capital : " The-space traversed by the Princes from the Bilboa gate to the Palace is much about the same as that from the hotel de Ville at Paris to the PlAce du Carrousel All the balconies and windows along their passage, which was through the streets called Fuencaral, Mon tera, Puerta del Sol, Calle Mayor, Platerias, and the Arch of the Palace, were filled with people, and yet neither the spectators at the windows nor the crowds in the streets made any response to the gracious sa lutations which the Princes incessantly directed on every side. Not a single cry of approbation or disapproba tion was uttered by the populace during the whole way. At the Calle de la Montera, in which there are many shops kept by Frenchmen, a few women at the windows waved their handkerchiefs, but they found themselves so completely alone in their testimonies, that they very soon ceased giving them. On arriving in St. Diary's-square, at the end of the Platerias, the houses in which arc in habited by the French and Neapolitan embassies, the of the 11,)use of Rothschild, and by the officers of the Palace, their Royal Highnesses were generally saluted, but even at this point there were no acclamations. As the procession passed the Puerta del Sol a man, standing close to a group of police-officers, cried Long live the Duke de Montpensier,' but this only provoked a counter-cry of ' Spain for ever.' Ihis is the only incident worthy of remark that occurred in the entry of the Princes. Their reception in the capital may therefore he said to have been circumspect and cold, bv.t not hostile." The Conslitutionnel remarks with much severity upon the conduct pursued by the Spanish Govern ment to the Opposition press. "What that conduct is may be judged of from the following account which appears in the same paper "Nothing gives so just an idea of the spirit with which the Government is animated, as the fact that yesterday four journals, the Espanol, the Eco del Comer cio, the Clamor I'ublico, and Espectador were seized on no other ground than that, in their accounts of the entry of the Princes, they stated that it was not attended with any enthusiasm, and that the entire ceremony bore an official character. I cannot call your attention too strongly to the condition to which the Government hat reduced the press. After having by four successive de crees changed, and by means of simple royal ordon nances, rendered more rigid the severe laws by which the press was governed—a law which, in fact, was a copy of your law of September ; after having abolished the trial by jury, and subjected the press to a special tribunal, composed of judges removable at pleasure, the Government has intro duced the previous censorship by a process worthy in all its points, of the maxims of Escobar. The last law on the press prescribes that the first copy printed of every work shall be laid before the Prefecture before it is sent into circulation. Now, this is what the Ministry gains by this simple provision—it is enjoined that directors of journals shall suffer three hours to elapse between the delivery of the first copy at the Prefecture and the send ing out of the impression. During these three hours a censor named by the Prefect examines the journal, and marks those whose publication is to be interdicted. Then a police-officer presents himself at the office of the jour nal, and seizes the whole impression. It might be be lieved that satisfied with thus preventing the appear ance of such journals as are displeasing to it, and, having thus insured the practical exercise of the previous cen sorship, the Ministry would rest content; but despotism is contagious, and Governments accustomed to it, carry their tyranny to the bounds of absurdity. After having subjected the journals of Madrid to the censorship, they have imposed upon them the same penal ties and fines for their censured articles as they would have been liable to had these articles been published. The Eco del Cornercio and Espectador have each been just condemned twice to pay fines amounting to 25,000 f., and this, not for having published, but for having had the intention of publishing articles denounced by the Public Minister, and adjudged by mei: in the pay of the Government. Such is the liberty of the press in Spain, such is the constitutional system of our Ministers, and to which France is about to lend the . support of her strong arm. You are now able to appreciate the accounts given by the Heraldo, and the two journals in the pay of the Go vernment—the Impartial and Popular—and in which it is gravely stated that the greatest enthusiasm and deepest sympathy attended the reception of your Princes by our people. Nothing more effectual could be done if it were desired to render the sojourn of the sons o! the King of the French at Madrid unpopular, and cer tainly their personal affability, and the private qualities for which they are so distinguished, would have over• come the repugnance excited by the policy of the French Cabinet, if the rigorous exaction of the penalties, and the other coercions with which the Government burdens and fetters the press, did nut destroy evory favourable impression." The organs of the Ministerial party are chuckling vastly at the idea of the approaching ruin of England, who, according to the Journal des Debats, is on the point of losing her Indian Empire, and is disabled from moving by the Irish famine. This from the friends, supporters, and originators of the entente cordiale is very amusing. The Silxle, the organ of the O'Dillon Barrot party, has an an admirably written article on this same entente cordiale, for which it would, in common with ourselves, wish to see sub stituted a durable alliance between the two nations on honourable terms. We give this important article in extenso " If we unreservedy blame the faults committed by a Government whose d( cisions appear to bo all dictated by egotism—if we reproach it for the honour even of our country for those acts of duplicity of which Europe at this moment calls on it to render an account, and of which we regret it has not been yet able to justify itself, we are not the less decided on supporting the right and the cause of France. And let it not be believed that we arc deceived, like our pretended Conservatives, as to the state of affairs which the proceedings of our diplomatic agents, if they are such as they are reported to be, has created for our country. It is a gross illusion to per suade oneself, like the Presse, that Lord Palmerston, in case lie should think it necessary to demand reparation for what his journals call an act of trickery, would find himself isolated even in England, and particularly in Europe. It is in vain to bring forward against him. without proof, the opinions of Lord Aberdeen and of Sir Robert Peel ; it is in vain to say that he has ac quired for himself the reputation of a misehief maker and of a revolutionist with the European Ca binets, and; that if he were mad enough to carry this affair of the marriage any further, it is well known what would be the result of it—all this is boasting * ued puerility. The Debuts held a nearly similar language in 1840, and it is nevertheless known what took place. Lord Palmerston, approved of or not by his colleagues, was supported by them to the end of his policy. Austria, who at first on the Egyptian question appeared disposed to accept the arrangement proposed by France, suddenly changed her opinion, and united herself to the coalition already formed of the other powers, and the Court of the Tuileries, which thought itself so sure of overthrowing Lord Palmerston, was compelled to beat a retreat, and bend before him. Then, nevertheless, no hesitation was felt in denouncing Lord Palmerston as a dangerous agitator, as an incendiary Minister ; then also, or a little before, there were pointed out with great outcry those appeals to revolt of subjects against their Governments, which proceeded, it was said, from the Cabinet of London. But, when it we's necessary to act, the absolute monarchs did not hesitate to range themselves on the side of the old British aris tocracy against the .7 rench nation, which never ceased in their eyes, whatever ienguage its Government might use, to represent revolution. We will say, moreover, if the attacks of our Conservatives against Lord Pal merston were all merited ; if it were true that, instead of confining himself to keeping up some miserable agitations, sometimes in Spain, and at another time on some other point, for an interest exclusively English, he was really, as the Presse says, the natural supporter of revolution in the world ; if that were true, we should regard such attacks as a title of honour for the representative of the Whig Cabinet, and we should re gret still more that instead of embroiling itself with that Cabinetior a purely dynastic interest, Government had not endeavoured to found with it the durable alliance of the two nations in some grand enterprise useful to the liberty of the people. It is in fact solely an the condition of protecting the weak, acting in defence of right, and promoting the development of liberty an the world, that England and France can honourably unite to gether ; and we may add, that if this union he pos sible, it is with the 'Whigs rather than with the Tories, whose sentiments are invincibly in favour of alysolute monarchies. At every period, when the ill will of the English Government shows itseif towards France, we are shown the prospect in perspective of :in alliance with Russia. But, in the first place, this alliance is not, that we arc aware of, offered to us; and, were it even offered, it would not probably be obtained except on revolting and im?ious conditions—the aban d of the Poles, of the Italians, of all suffering na tions, without speaking of the more or less remote abandonment of Constantinople. At such a price the alliance of Russia would be too dearly purchased ; France entire would reject it. We believe in the possi bility of an alliance with part of Germany, when Prussia shall have a Liberal constitution, and shall be interested in preserving it. Until that time a serious and sincere good understanding with Great Britain founded, not on the exchange of some courteous words between princes, but on the true interest of the people, and on the community of the principles which govern ' their institutions, is what is to be desired for our country. This understanding might have been esta blished after 1830, and again in the year 1836, if the fear of the ultra-Conservatives had not paralysed all movement. In the last ten years it has only existed in aprearance ; now it is quite broken, broken by the advo cates of peace a tout pi.; for a family interes•, and, if it must be said, for a dowry! It is a serious responsibility which is taken before the country by those Ministers who have so many times repeated to us that the entente cordiale was for us a sheet anchor, for the preservation of which no sacrifice of power or of dignity was too great for the nation to make. This responsibility appears to them apparently lighter because they have not now to deal with a Tory Ministry, with a Conservative Ministry professing like themselves to be opposed to the most legitimate wishes of the people. Who are Lord Palmerston and his col leagues? Powerless mischief-makers, who will be easily overthrown, if they do not take part in our dynastic arrangements. This is a sad calculation, and a dan gerous illusion. We are perfectly of opinion that our Government, even after having committed a fault, should not yield to arrogant menaces, to impmenate clamour; that it should maintain its right when that of others has not been violated; we do not feel the slightest sympathy for those pretended Spanish patriots who range them selves behind the English Ambassador, to cry with all their lungs, A Las la France!' But we again call on our Government and thegreat Conservative party, before giving way to their fits of ill. humour against the Whigs, before denouncing them to the animadversion of the ab solute cabinets as the natural supporters of revolution in the world, to look around them and to see what sup port would remain to them in Europe on the day when, no longer able to reckon on the British Cabinet, they shall have turned against them all the interests of the revolution." The National has an able article, from the pen of "A Veteran Diplomatist," in answer to the arguments of the Presse, on the treaty of Utrecht. The answer is complete. In allusion to the slight degree of im portance which the National attaches to the treaty of Utrecht the " Veteran Diplomatist" admits that " the KING elected in 1830 has completely accepted the treaty of Utrecht," and then proceeds to show, by the most incontrovertible arguments, that by the provisions of that treaty the issue of the marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER are absolutely excluded from the succession to the throne of Spain. With regard to the distinction which the Presse attempts to draw between the wording of the preliminaries of 1709, in •r.hich all the French Princes were excluded from the throne of Spain, by succession, marriage, convention, or other wise, and the text of the treaty of 1713, and from which it draws the conclusion that in 1713 the principle of exclusion was abandoned, the " Veteran Diplomatist" replies —" What was in effect the question under consideration in the preliminary negotiations of 1709 ? It was the recognition of CitAar.Es of Austria as King of Spain. It was very natural, under those circumstances, to carry out the principle of absolute exclusion as regarded all the French Princes without exception. And you are astonished that this abso lute exclusion of all the French Princes is not reproduced in the treaty of Utrecht, that is to say in the very deed by which one of those Princes received the crown of Spain !! ! The negotiators of the treaty must have been idiots if they had exactly copied the preliminaries." But the solemn renun ciations of 1712 are not less clear, nor less precise, nor less obligatory. There was no n ecessity to ex clude Princes from the succession who, by their own act, excluded themselves and their descendants for ever. It was sufficient to verify these renunciations in the treaty, and to incorporate them with it as an integral part of it. This was done, and it was added that the treaty should be observed scrupulously, and with good faith. It is then to the terms of the treaty—to the clear and precise expressions of the documents annexed to it, that we must return • Now, the Presse insinuates that the word mar riage, which it carefully underlines, is not to b found in the text of the treaty of 1713, although it does occur in the preliminaries of 1709. This is puerile when we consider the words of the renuncia tion of the Duke of ORLEANS. The rights of our birth or all others which may belong to us in any manner whatsoever in which the succession may arrive at our line. He declares himself both for himself and for his descendants excluded, incapacitated, and abso lutely incapable ; and for ever. Who can maintain after this that the case of marriage has not been provided against as well as those of testament, con vention, &c. "Besides, if the son of the Due DE MoNTPENsIER should succeed to the throne of Spain, it would not be by marriage, but by inheritance, and in virtue of the rights of the INFANTA, therefore the omission of the word marriage in the treaty of Utrecht does not invalidate the principle of exclusion, and under exist ing circumstances is of no importance." We regret we cannot find room for the whole of this admirably written article, which proves that the Duke of ORLEANS renounced for himself and for his children and descendants, however distant, for ever, and what ever might be their sex, all right of succession to the Spanish throne, in whatsoever manner that right might accrue to them, and that this renunciation was registered by the Parliaments of Prance and Spain as a fundamental law of the two countries.

' l ' ua CABINET.—Lord John Russell has issued in vitations to all the members of the Cabinet to a Ca binet dinner, to be given on the 27th of the present month, at his residence in Chetharn place. At this meeting the further prorogation of Parliament will be settled, Parliament at the present time being pro rogued to 'Wednesday, the 4th November. The directors of the Chester and Holyhead Rail way Company entered into contracts, on Wednesday the 14th, fur the construction of the tubular bridge across the River Conway, and also for the construction,of a great portion of that across the Menai Straits, to be called the Britannia Bridge. The Conway Bridge is to be completed a n d fi xe d i n its place in eight mont h s f rom the present tim e . Th e Conway Bridge is 400 f ee t span, the Brit ann i a B r id ge 450 feet span. The greatest span of any ri g id b r id ge h i therto executed, is 240 f eet. THE SOUTH- WESTERN RAILWAY EXTENSION. — During the last few weeks very c onsiderable progress has taken pl ace i n carrying into effect, by order of the directors of the South-Western Railway Company, the Act of Parliament for the extension of the line by arches from Nine Elms, Vauxhall, to Pedlar's-acre, adjoining the Hungerford Suspension Bridge. There is a direct opening made from the terminus to Vauxhall-walk, the line being intended to pass through the large area of ground in the front of Vauxhall-gardens. From the Waadsworth-road t o the Va ux hall-road nearly the whole of the piers are built, and which are about four feet in width. On some of them the arches are in course of being turned. Between this distance there will be three bridges, which will be constructed with strong iron girders. On the north side of the Wandsworth•road the level with the arches will be continued to the railway from the viaduct by a mound of earth, which is now in the course of formation, The occupants along the greater portion of the remainder of the line have been treated with, and nearly the whole of them have agreed to terms without submitting to a jury. At the south of the Archbishop of Canterbury's grounds, in Church street, several houses have been removed, and between that part and Vauxhall the line will be rapidly extended. The line will then, by the late Act ofParliament, after being brought to Pedlar's-acre, be continued to London-bridge. It is stated that on the completion of the viaduct the effect will be a diminution of the tolls connected with the Surrey trusts to a sum of above 8,000/.
