The Swiss are a cool, calculating, phlegmatic people, ,who may be described as the Scotch of the Continent. They are blessed or cursed with all that reflective and methodic, though eften left-landed wisdom with which " the thrifty, genius of the Tweed fortifies his children ;" they are accustomed to the use of arms from their earliest youth, and trained while yet young to the mili tia. They pass a certain portion of each year in camps and exercises, and being a bold, brave, and energetic people, are not in anywise inferior to the best European tro T.. It is thre-t fore not wonderful that a body of such men, bound together by a cArenon interest, and excited by a common enthtisiama, , should in thb first . instance leave succeeded egt.ii:, the temporising Government of Geneva.

PRICE SD. ADVERTISER —The ace - ninte frcm Ireland are as g7oemy as ever IF, indeed, there be any diff-rence in tenour, it is that the darkest aspects in which the state of that country has been presented to us, ere hourly arqnirirg a deeper hue. The condition ef matters is represented by the latest iirrirals as being of the most appalling kind which the imagination could picture to itself: The alarm felt for :he safety of ltfo and property is great and teiver:al. All confidence is di stroyed. Society is in a state of disorganisation. The tranquil , lity of the country is 11'4 worth an hour's purchase. We heezegivee.credit to. the Executive, ee far as it leas gone, fur a desire to :et up to the tremendous crisis which , has overtaken Ireland. But, as we said Yesterday, it has not gone far enoug'i. Loans of money for the drainage and stenoiling of land are very excellent in their wey ; but a mere improvement of the produc tive :powers of the land is not all that is re quired in an emergency like this. In many parts of Ireland, especially in the northern section of the country, the land has already been brought into a state of high cultivation; and, censequeroly, in Fuih cases, grants of ni, , ney mill not be see led tor drainage or sub• s tiling. What the Government ougiit to have done would have been to specify the various le:eling works which they consi !creel as coming eithin the meaning of the Labour-rate Act, awn:ding to the more liberal eon- straction to be put upon its provisions since the puhli cation of his Excellenc)'s letter. Every one inquires, bat ,no one can is: soar the qiiestion, whether -the execu tion 'of railways wilt come legitimat:ly within the mean ing of the phrase " useful and reproductive works." As to whether or not they ought to ceine within its tat erring, there are not two opinions on Cie part of the public. The voice of England and Scotland, as well as of Ireland, is in favour of the application of the 'public money to the construction of Irish railways. Unhappily, how ever, owing to the vagueness of the phraseology eta ployed in the Lord-Lieutenant's lettee, some persons entertain doubts as to whether railways are included under the general head . of public works of a repro ductive character. That railways ought to be classed in this category, nobody, we repeat, for a moment doubts. The only apprehension is, that those to whom the expo sition of the phra:e will be confided, may possibly not give it this liberal and enlightened interpretation. Now, why should a momen t 's u n c er tainty be suffered to exist on the subject ? A word from the Caitle would remove all doubts, and prevent aay future misconception. We believe that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, when caus ing the letter to be penned, fully intended that money should be advanced by the Government to Irish railway companies, whenever a due presentment sheuld be made, with that view, by any of the baronies. How great the pity, if our assumption be correct, that the fact should not be Publicly known. If. it were, the best results would follow. Railway comp an i es wou ld commence operations immediately, and the myriads now out of ern pleyment, would be actively and p ermanent l y engaged on new railways in lees than a fortnight. RAMSGATE, OCT. 12.—Lieutenant Waghorn left this haboue this morning at five minutes past 10 o'clock, in the South-Easte rn an Continental Steam Company's packet the Princess Maud, for Ostend, on bis way to Trieste, for the purpose of making arrangements for the conveyance of the next overland despatches from India. DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, the following determined suicide was committed by a decently dressed man, opposite the Penitentiary, Millbank. He was observed walking about ~lillbahk.for some time, apparently absorbed in thought, whin he sUddenly mounted the wall which runs along the bank of the river, and jumped off into the water. Severablabaurcrs, who were at work near the place, instantly ran to the spot, but the man had completed lila obj, , ct, fur there was nothing to be seen but the old hat which he had worn, and which was floating with the stream. WEVOILL GREAT STOCX F.AlR.—Yesterday this great cattle fair was resumed, and notwithstanding the large sales of sheep and stock effected on Saturday, the sheep pens ware equally well filled, and many fresh droves of cattle were brought in, which wits met with a great demand, and many large buyers who had stood out now yielded to the owners' prices. Prieze young ewes (Southdowns) went off at 38s. a head, and some pens of choice-bred lots fetched 425. a head. Ewe lambs of the best description made from 30s. to 335. ahead. Good wethers were eagerly sought after. Two-year old sheep made 335. to 395., and three year old wethers, well bred, were bought for folding off at 355. to 445. a head, and good fat wether sheep maintained prices varying from 48s. to 545. a head. In bullocks a brisk sale was ob tained f.ar the best steers and young store bullocks, and well framed beasts fOr the fattening sheds sold at 12 to 16 guirleas. Cows for deirying sold at 14 to 16 guineas. This fair is much celebrated for its usual large sales of cheeses. New cheese made 565. per cwt.; old cheese 5.55. to 60s. per cwt.; and the choicest quality of prime old cheeses were caught up at 655., 705., and 755. per cwt., and many waggon loads were consigned to London. The hop fair will commence this day. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII—RUGBY, MONDAY, OCT. 12.—Another instance of the utility of the electric tele graph in detecting crime was afforded on Saturday last at Rugby. The following telegraphic dispatch was re ceived at the Rugby station from Derby, at eight o'clock on Saturday morning : —" Thomas Trotter, from Derby, states that he has been robbed by a man that slept in the same room with hira at Derby last night of a silver watch (described), and 31. 19s. in gold and silver." (Here follows a description of the party suspected, but as he, as well as the property missing, is in the hands of the police, it is unnecessary , to give it.) Ihe dispatch goes on to state that " the person who committed the theft is supposed to have gone towards London." In consequence of this communication, Inspector Faulkner, in the employ of the London and North-Western Rail way Company, examined the persons of the passengers who arrived by the next train (11 A.m.) from Derby, when, from the description forwarded, he took the pri soner into custody on suspicion of having committed the robbery, and upon searching him he found a watch, an swering the description, and also a sum of money, ex actly tally in.. with the amount stolen, minus the railway fare from Derby. Upon asking the prisoner his name, .he said it was Wm. Gilbert ; but upon being taken be fore Mr. J, W. B. Leigh, Mr. H. S. Gibb, Mr. C. M. Caldecott, and Captain Leake, he gave the name of Wm. Eltinton, and said that he came from Newcastle-upon- Tyne. lie had for some time been employed on the Mid land Railway fri a stoker. Remand'd to allow time for the attendance of the prosecutor. Mr. Trotter appeared about five o'clock in the afternoon, and identified the watch, &e , upon which the prisoner was transferred to the custody of one of the inspectors of the Midland Railway police, the robbery having been committed at Derby. TIIE SOUTU DEYON - RA.lLWAT.—Considerabfe ex citement has been experienced by many persons in this town and the neighbourhood in respect to the effect of the recent heavy ga[es and high tides upon the works of the South Devon Railway in the neighbourhood of T‘ignrnouth. The coincidence of a strong S.E. wind with a high tide would, it was feared, very materially damage the portion of the line between Teignmouth and Dawlish ; nor have these fears been altogether ground less, for the effect of the gale and the high tide on Sun day night and Monday was to damage, considerably, a portion of the sea wall between Dawlish and Teign mouth, near what is called the Parson TunneL very This portion was what is termed dry wall, and not solid a masonry. The water covered the line, and the were consevently obliged to feel theiro w•iate:Y drenched slowly, the third class passengers being thr o with the sea-water. Oe Tuesday.,,es were found (consist the wind lulled and slightly changed. and the c i ingpf washing the ballasting from under the rails, &c.) to be such as to make i t necessary that the trains should stop at Dawlish, instead of running on to Teiguraouth. On Wednesday evening the traffic between Toigumouth and Dawlish was resumed. There was a meeting of the directors on Tuesday, %vhea they made a general survey of the line from Starcrossi to Teignmouth. The sea wall, in solid masonry, which was more exposed than the portion darn;:ge:l, was not the least affected by the gale—Up/meth ATTEMPT TO DISTROY LORD-flosses TELESCOPE.

The Patentees beg to call public atteiiiion to the following facts, flie advantages resulting from the invention are various and itriking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered - -It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is Its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction egos in dwellin,f-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, Sze. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAO nuaNea." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic Millions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jonx RENNIE, Preaident, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty Raw the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. rhe air passing on through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two s er i es of fire - holes around the periphery, and impinging with force en the flame of tide gas curved it outwards while the oxygen of the air, mingling with gas, produced a very perfect combustion, a hydrogen tul i p , flame was quite whitedown the top of the burner, Was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, 1, 1 ' 11 ' 11 e: h e: rt a r i e e t tn fee. these burners have been tmecl.

SACRILEGE, CLEVER DISCOVERY OF THE' OFFENDERS. Llantillo Church, in. Wales, was lately despoiled of a large portion of blialt cloth, with which the pulpit had been l;ung in consequence of the death of Mrs. Taddy. Mr. Biissett, -the superintendent of the Ross police, was applied to to discover the offenders, and having engaged a person of the name of Lawrence to assist him, an in genious stratagem was put in execution. We quote the result from the Monmouthshi-e Adver- tiser. suspicion having attached, in the first instance, to a blacksmith, named Probert, Lawrence went to Llan elli°, dressed as a bell : hanger, with his basket of tools on his shoulder, to where he worked. He went into the smith's shop,. and asked Probert to make him a punch ; whilst this was being done, Lawrence offered to sell the smith a brown coat. Probert declined, and after some time, upon being pressed, he said he did not want any clothes, as he was having a suit of black made at Mr. Jones's, at Ragland. This was the precise clue Law rence wanted, and he sbon afterwards proceeded to Mr. Jones's, the tailor, of that village. Of this person we think it right to say, that he has always borne an irre proachable character for honesty and industry. Upon arriving at Jones's, Lawrence asked the wife, and after wards Jones himself, who entered the shop, if he could have a brown or a dark waistcoat made there. Jones said he had not any brown cloth, but he cold make him a black waistcoat, for which he should charge 103. To this Lawrence assented, and proffered sixpence to bind the bargain, saying he would call on another day for the vest, and pay the remaining 9s. 6d. He then asked for a pattern, which he took with him, and thus successfully accomplished trap the second. Lawrence, with other parties, then compared the pattern with the black cloth remaining in the church, and it was found exacilly to cor respond. Upon the 4ollowing day he returned to Rag land, in company with Blissett, and producing a search warrant, they tock possession of the black cloth, still lying on the counter, and afterwards apprehended both Jones and Probert. Upon the policeman stating the nature of the charge, Jones stated that the cloth belonged to Probert, who in his absence had brought it and left it with his wife, for a suit of clothes to be made from, stating that he had bought it of a hawker for Bs. 6d. per yard. The other prisoners, John Jones, labourer, and Thos. Stead, were apprehended upon the confession of Jones himself, who stated to the Rev. Dr. Davis that Probert had devised the scheme of robbing the cloth, and had gone to the church on the Sunday (the 13th of Sep tember) for the purpose of contriving the best means of effecting their object. During the night, whilst Probert remained at home; Jens and Stead entered the church and took off their spoil, which the three worthies divided among them. After this confession, Jones accompanied Mr. Davis and others •to a hayriek'in an adjoining parish, on the top of which, covered with loose straw, a bundle of the cloth was lying. The stolen cloth of Probert's was upon the counter. The examination lasted several hours, and at its close all the prisoners were committed, but bail was inamedi ate:y tecdered for Mr. Jones, the tailor. CANADA AND EMIGRATION.—It is not generally known, we believe, that Sir Richard Bonnycastle, the author of the very important and interesting work, jut d p i n a b n l s is)r i d s , th u e nd so e n r ,r t , he the tit .w le o o ol f w i‘ c C h a p n r a o d f a es a g n o d r o t t heCana Mathe matics, whose admirable school.books rendered his name familiar to the juvenile world.

CONDENSATION OF SEWAGE INTO SOLID MANURE. —An explanatory lecture was delivered in our hearing at the Westminster Literary and Scientific Institution, on Friday last, by the patentee, Mr. William Higgs, who proved, clearly enough, the possibility of condensing, in a solid form, all that is valuable as manure in the sewage of towns; by collecting it in tanks, wherein all that is solid and insoluble, or merely suspended in the fluid, would of course subside, while by aid of calcareous or other redgentS; the soluble phosphates, or phosphoric acid, &c., might be converted into soluble salts/and pre cipitated amongst the general sediment, or apart from it, and the am montacal and hydro sulphuric vapours, uniting in hydro-sulphuret of ammonia, be also condensed by aid of chlorine, in covered a i r - t i g ht areas a b ove t h e tanks, and a dd e d, in form of sal ammoniac and sulphur, to the other valuable materials ; the residual water of the sewage thus, in effect, being rendered perfectly pure before it issues into the river that may flow in the vicinity of thu town. I n to th e quest i on o f t h e prof i ta b le and practicable adoption, or the relative merits of such an economical and save-all system it is not our province to enter, but we may remark, that certainly tha health o (a43o ; nd t j t eev i ve r a i n s pobu c ) o ,r uld not but be vastly benefited by the ab sorptiell and its.ht s ichl o ec l iß i tz il hpu i Ecu f ‘ i i cation of the volatile and permittedunwhole :irdtioefißro.EatAi ot tthoeermi rivers, on from the e b w a which the habitations of man are so frequently eon strAuweits Gar den of Glasgo w :( rather e. trh —The Royal Botanic Gar eTihnh:it. lo s e, :3 1 eh. a sai t ti c ,i til,oygr,yhtah()def Lunatic ‘i.Atessspresenteds3velolu3hn:aag, having onhfigiont home o b e) :: ofe ru D (on) n r al .

Sir John and Lady Shelley have left Farratoe's Hotel on a visit to the Duke of Grafton, at Euaton Hall, Thet ford, ENGLAND AND JAPAN. The less Great Britain can conceal from herself that she has lost the western hemisphere, the more energeti cally does she strive to insure to herself the eastern, in order that she may rule without a rival in the Indian seas. The southern extremity of Africa belongs to her; by the island of Aden she commands the entrance to the Red Sea; she has taken her stand on Bushire, to watch the mouth of the Euphrates; Ceylen lies at the entrance to the Bay of Bengal ; on the west coast of Trznsgan ;Tette India also has she established herself for now twenty years, by the peace of Yendalm. The keys to the Straits of illa'acca, are. heevever, far more important, namely, Pul ) Penang, and the flesriehing settlement of Singapore; while, io order to insnre t h route. to the Chinese colony of Hong-Kong. it, . i: , llnd of Laboan, in possession exerciseo p n l o u r e f. d : i f , on the north-west coast of Borneo, 'has just been .taken tI al litcb ihnetnhat iiy) of Brop}tii,:riitesti7n:iaptQa•ennedtdhemt7o:rreedenorpr,vedtrteylrel, hie the further inroads of the Dutch, n.tw so active in the East Ind:an Archipelago, are prevented. At the sans time Pule Labo an is imp )rtant a: a coal dt pot, as it lies about half way between Singapore and I-long Kong, which latter commands the mouth of the Canton River, in the same manner as Heligoland does the Elbe and Weser. Chusan, which England should have evacuated long ago, is still in her possession ; hut even if she do give it up, she has instead of this unhealthy island, another in view, which has a healthy climate, and a far more favourable position for her de signs. This is the island of Quelpiert, the rumoured occupation of which by the English, as stated lately in Antwerp and London journals, we by no means doubt. This island is the largest in the Archipelago of Corea (lon. 126 E., lat. 33 20 N.). 11,44 lies about 20 leagues from the S. point of the Corean peninsula: it can be reached by steam from Chusan in a few days, and com mands at once the Yellow Sea, the route to Pekin, the Straits of Cares which leads to the sea of Japan, and the west coast of the Japanese empire, particularly the neighbouring port of Nangasaki. The possessors of Malta and Gibraltar, the Falkland ',lands. and Adt-n, know well how to prize such advantages. Quelpaert is well adapted to form the last link in the long chain of maritime stations. On this subject we would remind the reader that about three years ago Captain Belcher was charged by the Admiralty with making a hydro graphical survey of the Japanese waters, that within the last few years especially, Englishmen, disguised as the subjects of the Celestial Empire, have, at the risk of their lives, entered Japan on board the Chinese junk trading thither, and that the Eng7ish Go vernment has more than *once attempted to obtain permission for a direct trade wi,h the subjects of Japan. These efforts have, indeed, always failed of success, but with perseverance, patience, and in case of need, open force, England has ever succ; cied in attaining its object—the extension of its trade. Even at the period of the opium war, it was undisguisedly declared in the English press, as well as on 'Change, that the seclusion of the Japanese empire must necessarily cease, anti that the opening of its ports would be an unavoidable conse quence of that war. As is well known, Japan admits only the Chinese and Dutch, whose trade' is, moreover, subject to numerous conditions and, limitations ; they are only allowed to-visit Nangasaki with a certain num ber of vessels, while every other port is unconditionally closed to foreigners. England is now impelled by a perfectly legitimate curiosity to seek admission to the Japanese people, end to make them acquainted with the blessings of European political economy and English free trade. It is against all cosmopolitistn that a state so populous, and which has attained so high a degree of peculiar civilisation, should, in the e nineteenth century, obstinately withhold itself from all interchange of ideas with Europe. The Japanese Government, however, well know why for two centuries and a half it has kept Eu ropeans at a distance, the bitterest experience has taught it prudence. When the Portu g uese first landed in Japan, foreigners were received with a kindness and tolerance of which even 'modern Europe can offer no parallel; they were freely allowed to trade, at,d, which would scarcely be permitted in Christian states to Asiatic heathens, to sp:ead their religion and make hundreds of thousands of proselytes. Several princes were baptised, and under Gregory IIIL, an embassy proceeded from Japan to Rome to shovi their respect for the holy father. The ambition of the Portuguese, however, who had con quered Gets, Malacca, and Macao, tr9r.spired the Emperor with anxiety ; the diffusion of Chelbtianity was said to aid the political aims of the foreigner, and on that ac count persecutions of the Christians commenced, which continued without intermission for almost half a century, and only ended with the complete extirpation of the fol lowrs of the cross. Several thousands had taken. refuge in the fortress of Sinsabera, where the martys defended themselves to the last man ; and when the conquerors entered at night by assault, they literally waded up to their ankles in blood. Since that time no Portuguese has been allowed to enter Japan. The Europeans, owever, were not absolutely excluded, art in 1611 Spanish and Dutch embassies arrived almost simul taneously at Jeddo. The first was denied admission, because they came tricked out in velvets and silk, and allowed their haughty arrogance to appear too visible ; the latterattained their object through their shop-keeping artifices, and the most submissive humility. Since then Rolland has driven a trade with Japan, which, although very circumscribed, and only permitted under the most humiliating conditions, has yet excited' the envy of other maritime nations. These latter have frequently, al though fruitlessly, endeavoured to open the ports of this kingdom; even the efforts of ,Admiral Krusenstein in 1804, whose death has lately been announced, were un successful. The negotiations in which he then engaged show the Japanese in the best light ; they acted towards their unwelcome guests with the greatest consideration, with a delicacy and a willingness which left nothing to be desired. The negotiations were conducted by the imperial plenipotentiaries with a politeness and ability which would do honour to the most refined European diplomatist. If, then, the English now give it to be un derstood that it is against all the laws of nations that Japan, which knows nothing of the European law of na tions, and in its exclusiveness can dispense with this highly elastic law, should seclude itself from intercourse with Europeans, we might give them for answer a diplo matic note (if we may so use the term) which was de livered to the Russians in 1805, and which may find a place here :—" In ancient times ships of all nations freely came to Japan, and the Japanese were allowed to visit foreign countries ; but about a century and a half ago an emperor impressed upon his successors no longer to allow their subjects to leave the country, and far ther, to give the Dutch, the Chinese, the Coreans, and the inhabitants of the island of Rinkin only, access to Japan. Other nations have repeatedly made attempts to contract relations of friendship and commerce with Japan, but they have been obliged to be refused, in con formity with the ancient orders; moreover, it would be dangerous to form friendly relations with an unknown power, unless they rested on the bases of equality; for friendship is like a chain, which, to perform a special purpose, must consist of a certain number of links. If one part of the chain is strong, but another weak, those links which are weaker will soon break. Thus friend• ship can only cause hurt to the weaker party. Thir teen years ago a Russian ship, commanded by Lieute nant Lerman, came to Japan, and now another with an ambassador from the great Emperor of Russia has ar rived. The first was not received without mistrust, but the second in a friendly manner. The Emperor of Japan has willingly done all in his power, consistent with the laws of the empire; he regards the arrival of this second Russian vessel with pleasure, as a proof of the amity of the Emperor cf Russia. That mighty monarch has sent him an ambassador, and valu able presents. Were these received, the Em peror of Japan must, according to traditions es teemed as highly as laws, also on his side send an ambassador to the Emperor of Russia, with pre sents of at least equal value. But every inhabit:Nnt and every ship of the empire is expressly forbidden to leave the same. Moreover, Japan is so poor that it can oiler nothing comparable to objects of such costliness. The Emperor can thus decidedly receive neither the ambas sador nor the presents. Japan has but few wants, and the productions of other countries are of little use to it. If its soil denies to it a small number of really useful productions, and if custom has made it acquainted with a few other wants, these are supplied to it in sufficient quantity by its trade with the Chinese and the Dutch. Besides, luxury must not be countenanced. There are great difficulties in the way of introducing an extens i ve trade here, because all intercourse between the people and foreign sailors is expressly forbidden by law." It must he allowed this ultimatum delivered to Heron Von lica3onoff is as politely, as it is concisely and decidedly expressed, and that the buccaneering expeditions of the Russian naval officers, Chwostoff and Davidoff, who shortly after attacked the island of Sachalia, and wantonly encamped on the Japau Kuriles, were ill calculated to make the Japanese kbandon their system. The at'empts of the Americans to procure admission into Nangasaki, for their vessels under the Dutch flag likewise failed, and when in 1837 the Marmion, an American ship, brought some Japanese sailors, picked up by it, back to the native country, the severe regulations were rigidly maintained against them. Parker and Williams, who wrote an ac count of this voyage, declaim, like the English, against the obstinacy of the Japanese, as people who understood not the law of nations. The Europeans have not, how • ever, often acted in a manner to command esteem. In 1808 Captain Pellcw, in the English man-of-war Phaeton, pursued some Dutch merchantmen into the bay of Nangasaki, under the Netherlands flag, and the agents suspecting nothing, went to meet him ; they were taken prisoners end kept on • board the Phaeton. The Japanese governor, who is responsible to his Emperor for the safety of the D u tcle'dwelling on Dezima, fell into the greatest embarrassment, which was increased when the Phaeton entered the harbour and steered right upon Dez:ma, without a lootsen or permit. It was only with much trouble that Captain Pellew wes induced to depart. This incident, as Si; bald expressly remark:), has not been forgotten in Japan, and the dislike toward.; England has been there* raised to a great height. The governor o Nangasaki was reduced to such despair by the event, that he assembled his family and servants, and, as is the custom of the country, ripped open his belly in their presence. The other officers followed his example, and the Viceroy of the province , alt hou gh at the time at Jeddo, was cast into prison, because the officer appointed by him had not been attentive enough. Besides this, the family of the Governor was obliged to pay a year's sa lary of about 1,0004 sterling. On board of the eboye named ship, the-Morrison, was the Chinese missionary and interpreter, Gutzlaff, who was visiting the Chinese coast in smuggling vessels, and who condemns most se verely the conduct of the Japanese in thus excluding themselves from all intercourse with other nations. Ac cording to all probability, things will take the following course, either now or at some future time. Some Eng lish vessel, well manned and armed, appears before a Japanese p r t for the purpose of engaging in trado. The authorities do their duty and refuse it entrance. John Bull, meanwhile, perseveres in his design, the Japanese commwd him to quit the harbour, he refuses to stir, and is warned to depart by a cannot shot from the hat hour battry;,and perhaps a ball kills a sailor. The English nowitly fur vengeance, as the law of nations has been bri•l44), war is declared, and finally peace is concluded, aft, -r the Japaaese have granted the English admis sion to such and such ports, and comentel to pay so much silver. At least g ,thar was the racale - of - pro, edure in China. We .see no peaceful way for Engtinil open to herself the Japanese markets. We will allow tl•at attempts are made, through the Chinese intervention, to obtain pi-riniasion to lay their wi.hes before the Court of Jedda by a special embassy, alai that this wish is granted. -Bat then there are ten things to one against success : firs', that the. Eaglif,h will not submit to the humiliating coromotiial to which the Dutch submit, and thus certainly offend the Emperor ; and second, that an ultimatum is given to them similar to that received by the Russian envoy forty years ago. The Dutch; - too, would act foolishly, unless they threw as many hin drances as possible in the way of their powerful 'rivals. Besides, who could blame the Japanese for keeping ns fas as possible from them a people who, having, not a hundred years ago built a miserable fort in the jungle on the Ilooghly, soon conquered all India therefrcan ? The island t,f Quelpaert, however, if pos4essea'by the Eng lish, nil at the same time be a wedge to open up both Japan and China. The dragon of the Celestial Empire has been forced to yield -to the British lion ; the flag of Japan will also soon sink before that of Great Britain. —Augsburg!: G.:vile. STATION ACCOMMODATION. NOR SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST. The following is a statistical sketch of the stations on the principal working lines, showing the extent of railway accommodation afforded to the various towns and counties, with the corresponding population of each county, according to the last census : LONDON AND NORTII-WESTERN.—The number of stations on this line, from London to Birmingham, with branch to Aylesbury, 120 miles, is in all 2.5, of which_ Stations. Population. 5 are in Middlesex 7 in Herts 157,237 1 in Bucks 155,989 2 in Beds 5 i❑ Northamptonshire 5 in Warwickshire 25 2,598,961 Showing that the London and North-Western, in its first section of 120 miles between London and Birming ham, accommodates, with its five•and-twenty stations, a population between north and south of 2,598,961. On its branch from Northampton to Peterborough, 47 miles, there are 14 stations, all in Northamptonshire. From Birmingham to Liverpool, 97i miles, there are 24 stations, of which Stations. Population. 3 are in Warwickshire 403,121 9 in Staffordshire 510,206 9 in Cheshire 3 in Lancashire • 24 2 974,691 So that this section in its 971 miles and 24 stations, ac conamodatcs 2,974,691 souls. • On the Northern branch from Liverpool to Man chester, 30 miles, there are 21 stations, all in Lan cashire. _ From B:rmMgham to Manchester, 35 miles, there are 26 stations :-3 in Warwickshire, 9 in Stainrdshire, 11 in Cheshire, and 3in Lancashire. On the Chester and Birkenhead in the same counties there are 11 stations in 16 miles. Hence the London and North-Western accommodates a population of upwards of three millions, over its total area of 328 miles, exclusive of a large collateral traffic fr laa ont total hl t a h ov e ri nlng2o connected s h nt na a et i n co c t l ne sd s . o w u i t t h h , t a s n I d a r from ely Ir ramifying e m l n a g n d s y S s co t m t - The West of England ranks next. On the Great Western the total number of stations between London and Exeter, including the branches to Oxford and Glou cester, a distance of 2401 miles, amounts to fifty. Of these— Stat:ons.

On the Midland (south branch), from Rugby to Derby, 49i miles, there are 22 statiuns, of which— Stations.

Population. 11 are in Derbyshire 11 iu Yorkshire On the western branch from Derby to Birmingham, 41 miles, there are 13 stations, five being in Derbyshire and eight in Warwickshire. On its Bristol and Birmingham branch, for 90 miles there are 30 stations, of which — Stations. Population. 6 are in Warwickshire 11 10 in Worcestershire 14 in Gloucestershire 30 664,791 The Midland, consequently, accommodates on its route of 260 miles, and with its 85 stations, a total local population, independent of collateral traffic of 3,104,724 souls. The Manchester and Leeds, on its route of 60 miles, has 23 stations, accommodating the before-mentioned population of Lancashire and Yorkshire. This, with one or two exceptions, forms a summary of the station accommodation of the kingdom north and west. Turning to the east and south-east, we find that the number of stations on the Eastern Counties (Cambridge line), for 83 miles, namely, from London to Brandon, and including the branch to Hertford, is 33, of which— Stations Population. 7 are iu Middlesex 11 in Hells , 157,237 9 in Essex 4 in Cambridge . 2 in Suffolk 315,129 33 2,538,486 Add to this the Norfolk line from Brandon to Yar- mouth, 58 miles, there are— Stations. Population. 16 in Norfolk On the Colchester line of the Eastern Counties, taking the four stations on the Eastern Union, there are 18, all but two in Essex, showing that the Eastern Counties, in its route of 191 miles, supplies an average population of 2,971,107 with 68 stations. On the London and Brighton, and South-crast, 56 miles, there are, exclusive of the Hastings and Chiches ter branches, 21 stations:— Stations. Population. 8 is Surrey 299,770 13 in Sussex 21 701,891 On the South-Eastern, including the Canterbury, lamsgt.te, end Maidstone branches, there are 29 sta tions over 120 miles. Stations.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—No one who has watched the stationary. not to say the dubious, condition of mercantile affairs for the whole of this year, will expect any decided results from the quarterly returns of the revenue. if they still permit us to hope, that is about as much as we could possibly expect under almost unexampled difficulties. After striking off what may be called the accidents of the yearly and quarterly comparison, we find that we can not only hope, but hare to some extent realised a steady increase of prosperity. The extraordinary and mit:neural gush of e nterprise which marked the whole of last year very possibly temptcd the most prudent to (ix- Feet an earlier and a larger harvest from the great (Toe of experiments, public and private, we then were sowing: The nation is wiser this year than last, and has pro bably learnt also to - be mire moderate in its expecta tions. The Excise is usually considered the chief tea of prosperity. Uniler this head there is an increase on the wierter amounting to 226,820/ There is ne risible reasoe why this sum should (a b' considered I fd; index of iiicreasin ; 2; l c instimption and trade in exeiseablo articles . Lest (patter, it will be 'remembered!, gave nearly an equal recut as compared whim the July returns of the previous year. They who are behind the scenes might possibly be elite to inform us whettinr both the July and October returns for 1845 were not somewhat depressed by the drawbacks allowed on those articles on w hick the duty had just been abolished or reduced. Unless some such accident has destroyed the equality of circumstances, certainly the Excise is prospering considerably. As for the compa ratively slight increase on the whole year, it is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that the two first quar ters in the year ending October 10, 1815, hid the benefit of the old duty on glasennitid some - other eonshh rable items, lopped off or prune.l in the spring of 1845 by the shears of the . beneficent Premier. As for the Customs, they are a very peculiar and capricious subject. Last year we had to condole with Sir Robert Peel on the leineetable eircumstence. that under the operation of his sliding-settle the abundant harvest of 1841 had pinched his revenue by the exclusion of foreign corn. The great iinencier's. own pet device had led to the singular and ridiculous re cult of changing a national bit wing into a fiscal curse, and setting at cress purposes the . treasury and the people. This year the corn-laws still intrude and dis turb the account. An aggregate duty, amounting to nearly half a million, on the corn imported immediately on the new Corn Bill coming into effect, hks made the Customs of this quarter, and, strange to say, of this year also, almost exactly so much more than the Customs of the quarter and of the year ending October 10, 1845. But fir that single importation, which must now be looked upon as an extraordinary and exceptional occur rence, the two years and the two quarters would present just the same results. Could more, however, have been fairly expected ? As for the comparison between the two years, it must be remembered that the- two first quarters of the former year came under the old duties, beitre Sir Robert Peel had struck off the duties on sugar, cotton, and some hundreds of minor imports, to the amount of two millions and a half. The year just ended suffers not only that amputation, but another, by no means inconsiderable, inflicted this last session, and felt by the two last quar ters. There has been a double drop by free-trade mea sures in the two years. Under circumstances so very unequal, aid bearing so hard on the later members of the comparison, it is very gratifying to find that the quarter and the year just past have yielded a revenue not inferior to that of the corresponding periods ending Oct. 10, 1845. The natural improvement of the country must be thanked for filling up the gaps made by fiscal remissions. If more has not come to pass—if, barring the god-send of half a million on foreign corn, there is after all only au equality—candour will recollect the dihneulties, the perplexities, and we must add, the :calamities of this year. Free trade, it will be said, was to do great things. It could neither do great things in a hurry, nor produce abundance invite' nutira. Free trade is not an open sesame to give us at our bid ding transcendental prosperity over and above the operations of the physical creation. It is true it has thrown back those gates of Janus that nothing but war should ever have closed, and it has this year brought in between two and three million quarters of corn. But it could only deal for the present with the existing material. It could only bestow what there was in the world. All that food has come in, and yet we are on the eve of a famine. On the average of this whole twelvemonth just ended, food has been too high to allow the labourer and the operative very much to spare for superfluous com forts. Ths elements have starved both the Customs and the Excise. What revenue are we now to expect from the millions in Ireland, who cannot even buy their daily bread ? What revenue from those in this country, whose bread eats up the whole of their humble allowance ? It is.enough that we have just managed to anticipate " the Catastrophe of an irremediable famine," which this day twelvemon h we veniurecl to predict would " conclude the drams, cr rather the farce, of protection." CHRONICLE.—The country has awakened, has re flected, and is now speaking out aloud. When the Church as the only instrument of education was insisted upon, there was a degree of supineness in England that ignorance scarcely explained, and bigotry imperfectly excused. The difficulties that encumbered the teaching of an English alphabet to an English pauper were (and are) such as would excite the wonder of a Kielikalioo or Potowhottamie Indian, if he could be brought to under stand there in the whole fulness of their absurdity. That there must be some trouble in the matter he would con ceive ; since he might suseectethat in respect to speliing boplis and schoolmasters alone there would be the price of much tobacco and many beaver skins expended. This he would see at the first glance. Proceeding in his rea soning, he would measure the value of the commodity against the price. Here, whether he agreed with his teacher or not, he would at least infer that the learniag was worth something—some beaver-skins amtsome to bacco ; though not so many or so much as the vendor of the alphabetic mystery might demand. His doubts, how ever, upon this point would be converted into either con fusion or contempt, when the further explanation was made to him, that unless taught by certain men, and in a certain manner, the power in question of understanding alphabets was not only worth no tobacco and no beaver skins, but that it was absolutely prejudicialand perilous, and that in England it was not imparted to people at all, because parties were at variance as to the conditions under which it should be communicated. Neither was (nor is) there any teaching of the dudes of education by the way of example. Upon such matters numerous writers, good and bad, had appealed to Government, with illustration in all its forms ; with the whole artillery of examples from the continent, and with encomia upon foreign education. It was upon these points, and the like of them, that Holland and Prussia were qnoted and over-quoted by the German, and France and Switzer land by the Gallican school of ameliurationists. Never theless, it was just the lesson that we were predeter mined not to learn, either from Prussia or from France, from Holland or from Switzerland, from Turkey or from America—in short, from any portion of the habit• able globe whatever. Grave men in shovel-hats denounced it both in speeches and in charges, agricolous scpireens denounced it in post-prandial orations, bitter Dissenters denounced it in petitions, and stripling clergymen groaned over it at visitings and at tea-tables. It was a lesson which we were determined not to be taught. Now if these things at the present moment are changing, and that after the rate and fashion that opi nions on the bread monopoly took to change, to what must we attribute the alteration? To whatever it may be attributed, it is not referable to an indifference upon religious subjects. Church subscriptions, anti slavery meetings, Exeter-hall statistics, all join in the acquittal of the present decennium of lukewarmness upon points of spirituality. It is neither more nor less than common sense, acting upon palpable facts. It is a clear compre hension of what is be: t calculated for the maintenance of the public happiness. It is the deliberate determina tion that the welfare and existence of a great country shall be guarded against the mischiefs of popular igno rance, and the suicidal economics of deluded poverty. As'such we value the review in question, as much for the evidence it affords as for the arguments it supplies. Those who have faith enough to expect regeneration from a Stanley Ministry have not faith enough to believe in a permanent state of ignorance, or in the sufficiency of priests to remove it. HERALD.—There is, perhaps, no country in Europe of the same extent, in which a greater diversity of lan guage and manners exists than in Switzerland. Within the limits of a small territory three different languages are spoken—French, German, and Italian—and within the twenty-two cantons of which the federated states are composed, is to be found congregated as much jea lousy, hatred, envy, and bitterness, as could be raked together amidst all the monarchies of Europe. Hence the multitude of factions which have prevailed in Swit zerland during the last half century, and which for a p riod of forty years have threatened the independence and the existence of the " land of the brave and the free." The most pacific, and we may sly, as a neces sary consequence, the most progressive period of Switzerland was from 1815 to 1830. During those fifteen 3 ears new roads were cotistruoted and old ones improved—commerce and industry flourished—a more rapid and a cheaper postal system was adopted—hr a ry and scientific and agricultural secieties acre established —and Switzsrlance became the chosen residence of some of the nest distinguished men, and come of the most renowned citizens of , Europe. 4301 du- French revolution of 1830 completely changedtl.e From that period discontent, distrust, and diseffection have become predeccinant. Religious hasbc-en supe.rnd.led to political jealousy—townhas armed itself (gainst coma try—noel c",untry against town—canton has stood is battle array ugaiiist canton, and the very frame of the federation seems to be dislocated and laosened. Meet ings have sect:vet - fed to meetings—concessions have fol lowed concessions—on the part of some of this federative Governments—while others have " kept the word of promise to the ear, and broken it to the hope." But concessions—promises—and open resistance, on the part of the Goverements, have only produced one result on the governed, i.. c., augmented exacerbation and discon tent. It would appear that the scenes of December, 1830, are again to be re-enacted—again shall we hive vast assemblages of armel peasants end hue4hers, and probably some new Troller and Pl 3 ff. , r may arise in Gen Ova, in 1846, as in Aarau in 1830.
