Wednesday forenoon, about 10 o'clock, in consequence of the rapid rise of the Fleet sewer, two more houses in Round court, Brook-hill, Clerkenwell-green, adjacent to the two which fell down on Saturday night last, were so undermined by the violence of the current, that they came down with a tremendous crash, causing the greatest alarm to the neigh bourhood. One of them was in the possession of Mr. Fox, black-lead dealer, and which is used as a workshop. From the appearance of other houses in the locality, the shock has placed them in much danger, and there are fears among the inhabitants that several more abu ttin g on th e sewer rose yesterday between seven and eight feet above its usual level , and in some instances poured into the rooms of th e first floor. and 200 of the 200 years. The most of the houses along the s ides of the sewer, w hich is at this part, and for many hu ndred feet u p w ards not Theyenclosed, are bare situ a t b e e d e n n builtt hetrack between of 100 0e in tended new street, the Act for which was obtained about two years ago. ROCHESTJEIt, AUG. 5. —During the storm yesterday a vivid flash of lightning, which appeared to take its course throutth the high-street of Rochester, was observed to cross the river, and suddenly darting downward, struck the topmast of the Neptune, which was riven to pieces, the fragments being scattered to a considerable distance on to and around the adjoining buildings. The electric fluid descended by the funnel into the cabin, where its effects were most de destructive, every article of furniture being more or less damaged, and the stove rent in twain. One of the cables was also cut asunder. At this moment there were two per sons below and their escape was m ost p rovidenti al. One of them, William Slackford, was knocked down by the shock, and was for a time almost unconscious of what had oc curred, but, fortunately, sustained no injury. His com panion also escaped unhurt. Their safety is attributed to the nature of the cargo, the vessel being laden with packs of wool, and which is now unloading in order to ascertain the extent of the damage done to her, which, it is believed, is such as to render her unfit for the voyage. It being the flow of the tide, the vessel's mast rose considerably above the surrounding buildings, and thus, perhaps, pre served more valuable property from the destructive effects of the storm. THE LATE EX-KING OF HOLLAND.—The Count d e St. Leu, ex. King of Holland, who died on the 25 th ult., had three children by his marriage with Ho rtense de Beauhar nais, the adopted (laughter of Napoleon, viz ,Napoleon Charles, who died in 1807 ; Napoleon Loins, who died in 1834; and Charles Louis Napoleon, who was impriso ned at Ham. The ex-King was placed on the throne of Holland in 1806, and reigned four year, , , when he abdicated , in consequence, as was generally said, of the Emperor Napoleon refusi ng to permit him to rule in the interest of his subjects, Il e was fond of literature, and published, in 1820, several historical documents. In 1601 he wrote a pretty romanee, entitled " Marie, ou reline de l'Amour." EASTERN COUNTIES .RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in the Eastern Counties Railway Company was held yesterday *afternoon, at the London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street ; Mr. Geo. Hudson, M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the 'Secretary (C. P. Roney, Esq.) read the following report of the directors " The directors have the pleasure to announce a dividend, for the half-year, of 9s. per share of 141. 16s. each on the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Company. and in proportion on the share capital of the Northern and. East ern Company. "The increase of traffic during the last half-year has been 86,718/. 7s. over the corresponding six months. of 1845, and 28,462/. Os. 10d. in excess of the six months to 4th Ja nuary last, during five months of which the line to Brandon was open. " An increased charge for interest appears in the account for the past half-year; and during the current half-year, it will be further increased in consequence of the opening of the Company's line from Ely to Peterborou g h, which will be de. livered up for traffic by Mr. Peto, at the beginning of Sep tember, fourteen months earlier than he is bound to do by his contrazt ; on the other hand, there may be anticipated with certainty a large increase of traffic to arise from that extension and from the opening of the Midland Company's line (to be worked by the Eastern Counties Company) from Peterborough to Stamford. The opening of this length will also take place early in September. " Before the next half-yearly meeting of the Company the line of the Eastern Union Company from Ipswich to Stow market and Bury St. Edmunds will have been completed and opened for traffic. It is likewise expected that the line of the Lynn Company from Lynn.to Ely will be in operation at no distant period. The opening of these two lines cannot fail to further increase the revenue of this Company. "A double line is asout to be laid from the Broxbourne Junction to Heitford. " In Parliament the directors have used theirtitmost efforts to obtain extensions of the line to Lincoln and York. In these endeavours they have not at present succeeded. It is, however, their intention, with their engineer, to examine de liberately the entire districts through which they have pro moted lines of railway during the_past session, and to take such steps, in the ensutngdene, for the general interests of the proprietors and the advantage of the public, as shall be deemed advisable. "The board purposes to proceed immediately with the con struction of the line between Cambridge and St. Ives, and also with the line between St. Ires and Wisbeach which :he directors have agreed to purchase from the St. Ives and Wisbeach Company, subject to the sanction of the proprie tors, in preference to its being leased in perpetuity. The sanction of the meeting will be required to this arrangement. "Acts of Parliament have been obtained to enaale the directors to enlarge the London and Stratford stations'; to construct a railway from Ilford to Epping; and to connect the Thames Junction Railway by a branch with the Pepper Warehouses at the East India Docks. By authority of one these Acts, the London station of this Company will in future be called ' The Bishopsgate Station.' I'he increased accommodation to be afforded by the. enlargement of this station has become a matter of urgent necessity for the pur pose of working efficiently the largely increasing traffic in passengers and goods, and no time will be lost in urging forward the necessary works to render it one of the most commodious in the metropolis. "The directors have arranged to alter the former contracts regarding the Thames Junction and North Woolwich Rail ways, and to purchase the former at a net profit, to the pro prietors of that Company, of 7,0001., and to purchase the latter at 3,000/, being the sum expended in obtaining the Act of Parliament. They recommend these purchases to be confirmed by the meeting. The Thames Junction Railway has been opened partially for coal traffic for some weeks, and promises to become a most important accessory to the Cam bridge and Colchester lines. The North Woolwich Railway is in course of construction, and it is anticipated the open ing for passenger traffic will be early in October of this year. "The total amount of capital authorised to be raised under the Acts of Parliament obtained during the last and the present session, including the capitals of the Thames Junction and North Woolwich Railway Companies, is 2,507,000/. "Of this capital, there will be required for the Railway between Cambridge, St. Ives, and Wisbeacb, a length of forty-two miles, a sum of about 625,0001., which will have to be provided rateably by the holders of the York Extension shares. As regards Extension Stock, No. 2, which will absorb 960,0001. more of this capital. resolutions will be submitted to the meeting to place that stock in a permanent position, as portion of the share capital of the Company, carrying a fixed rate of interest in perpetuity." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, and that the accounts be agreed to, said he was ready to admit that the accounts were not placed so fairly before the meet ing as he could wish, but he pledged himself that at their next half-yearly meeting this defect should be remedied. it was satisfactory that the directors were able to pay the same dividend this half-year that they did last, notwith standing that some of the charges of the past half-year had exceded those of any former period. He estimated the re ceipts of the next half-year at 10,0001. per wed( or 286,0001. per annum, while, allowing for expenditure 100,0031. for work ing, and 44.000/. for interest, there would remain a balance, which would give a divident of 81. per cent, upon a capital of 2,110,000 of Eastern Counties stock, and 1,180,000/. of Northern and Eastern stock.—( Hear, hear.) It was pro posed to give the holders of the old 14/. 16s. shares a bonus of 41. per share ; there would consequently be a call shortly upon these shares of 1/. 4s. to make up. They had not bee,. so successful in their application to Parliament for extensions as they had anticipated, but there was this justifying fact to place to the credit of that result, namely, that Parliament had sanctioned no competing schemes likely to injure the traffic of the Eastern Counties line. They had been defeated in their energetic efforts to get to York, but he confidently ex pected, nevertheless, that ere long their line would be ex tended to the north in such a manner as to draw a large quantity of northern traffic on to the Eastern Counties (Hear, hear.) It would be seen that the York Extension shares would have to contribute the capital for making the Cambridge, St. Ives, and Wisbeach line, and he was assured by those who were best informed upon the subject, that this line would be open for traffic in about twelve months. — (Hear, hear.) After complaining of the conduct of Colonel Peel in dividing the House upon the third reading of this Bill in his (the Chairman's) absence, having previously, while he was present, declined to do so—remarking that he had just as much right, or could with as much justice say, the gallant Colonel was the worst Member of Parliament, as the gallant Colonel had to say the Eastern Counties line was the worst managed in the country. The Chairman went on to comment upon the readiness of the Times to insert letters in its columns denouncing the delays occasioned on this line. He said he had travelled latterly in and out of the metropolis as much as any one. He had repeatedly met with delays on lines which he did not think it necessary to name, but, strange to say, no one took the trouble to write to the Times complaining of them. Last Saturday one train be came by was half an hour behind its time, and he could mention innumerable instances where these delays had lately occurred.—(Hear, hear.) Now what were the delays the letters in the Times complained of? Why, during the last three months they had, exclusive of Sundays, run 4,448 tr..ins, running a distance of 27,464 miles, and yet the delay on the average bad only been three-quar ters of a minute per train.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that delays more or less did occasionally occur, but with the casu alties which were attendant upon the running a railway train, it was utterly impossible to avoid them.—( Hear, hear.) So largely did they estimate the future traffic, that they had ordered 400 new carriages. They were going to centralise their locomotive department, and it would be seen by the re port that they had already obtained powers for increasing their metropolitan station-room. When they obtained this room, he would defy any one to say there would be the remotest necessity for gentlemen writing letters to the Times.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) . The line, considering the difficulties it had to contend against—the want of station room and inconvenient position of its locomotive and car riage department—was, he would repeat, as well managed as any line in the country, and he thought the meeting would appreciate the animus of the Times in publishing its anonymous attacks.—(Hear, hear.) He congluded by moving the adoption of the accounts and report, and , ex pressing his readiness to answer any questions the pro prietors might wish to put to him.—(Hear, hear.) - . PROPRIETOR wished to know what the line was the directors proposed to bring forward from Lincoln to York? The CHAIRMAN must decline answering that question. He bad once or twice disclosed some of his schemes, and the consequence was they were filched from him.—( Hear, hear.) A deposit of 10s. per share had been paid upon the York shares, any if the Honourable Proprietor objected to the line he could have his 10s. back again. A PROPRIETOR asked when it was proposed to call the 1/. 4s. upon the old shares, which the chairman had said it was proposed to make, for the purpose of making the 14/. 16s. shares 20/. shares, giving the holders a bonus of 4/. The CItAIItMAN replied that he was not in a position to answer that question. The same Pnornimon asked whether the dividend of 81. per cent., to be paid next Christmas, would be paid at the rate of 14/. 16s..per share or 20/. per share? The CHAIRMAN said it would be paid on the 14/.165. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The dividend was then declared payable the 13th of August, tills day week. A resolution in accordance with the last paragraph in the report was then moved from the chair and carried maul- The CHAIRMAN next proposed a resolution approving the purchase of the St Ives and and Wisbech, Eastern Counties and Thames Junction, and the North Woolwich lines. It was unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the meeting were then passed to the Chair man ad directors. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, made a few observations on the subject of the recent aceid nt. He regretted deeply that they had been so much upbraided and held up to the derision of the world by a certain public print, because that lamentable affair placed them in a position en titling them to sympathy rather than abuse. No parties were more anxious to secure the safety of their passengers than that board over which he presided, and for this purpose they were always anxious to secure the services of efficient servants. His own policy was always to secure the sympa thies of the secretary down to the labourers on the line in its future success; but no exertions, however skilful or sin cere, could at all times avert accidents on the best regulated railways. The meeting then separated. LARNE, BELFAST, AND BALLY- MENA RAILWAY. A meeting of the scripholders of this Company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving a report of the directors, and of adopting such measures as might be deemed expedient. Mr. Andrew Spottiswoode took the chair. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, from which we make the following extracts : "The directors who represent the Company are prepared at once to resign the trust reposed in them to such other mem bers of the company as the scripholders may elect, not, how ever, with the view of reli3ving themselves from responsi bility, for they would suggest the introduction of a clause in the Bill to facilitate the recovery from the parties at present liable for any moneys which may hereafter be found to have been improperly expended." " Should the scripholders decide upon the expediency of proceeding with it, the Directors submit that there is every reasonable prospect of its being a most valuable investment. But, supposing for a moment that there could be a doubt PaICE SD. as to the line answering, the Directors would urge the pro bability of an advantageous arrangement with the Belfast and Ballymena Railway." The SECRETARY then read a balance sheet of the receipts and disbursements up to the present time, from which it appeared that there was a balance of 11,4891. ls. ld., sub ject to various claims, estimated at 8,3934 which would leave a balance of 3,096 Z., or about 7s. 6d. per share upon the shares in the hands of the public. No motion was made for the adoption of the report. Mr. COWAN, one of the scripholders, was of opinion that the report of the Select Committee of Parliament rendered it impossible to proceed with the Bill, and he was astonished that the chairman and the directors should come forward now arid exhibit such want of self-respect and unblushing disre gard of the great and culpable irregularities which had come out on the evidence before that Committee, as to advise the meeting to proceed with the Bill. Mr. CowAN then read portions of the evidence criminating the directors, and after a lengthened appeal to the meeting on the gross mis-statements of the directors and their several mismanagement, proposed the following resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Larne and Belfast Railway Company was virtually dissolved on the 28th day of May last, when a meeting of shareholders was hell for the purpose of assenting to or dissenting from the further progress of the undertaking. Because 1,180 shares that were on that occasion recorded in favour of the undertaking were shares purchased by the directors with the paid-up deposits of the shareholders. This being an unfair mode of creating a majority of votes ought not to be admitted. Consequently the non-assenting shareholders were in a majority of 830 to 800." Mr. MARSHALL seconded the motion which was carried by a majority of 13 to 6. Another resolution that further proceedings with the Bill should be stayed, was also carried The general feeling of the meeting being that the Com pany should be dissolve:l, it was agreed upon by the share• holders and directors, that as the pr(sent meeting could not be considered one in conformity with the Earl of Dalhousie's Act, another meeting should be convened as soon as possi ble for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of dissolving the company. The meeting then adjourned. RAILWAY SHAR.E MARKETS. BRISTOL, Arousr 5.

It is intersected by the turnpike road leading from Bristol to Bridgewater, and within three miles of the Highbridge station on the Bristol and Exeter Railway.

Naish and ltocke, solicitors, Wells and Glastonbury ; of Messrs Gregory, Folkner, Gregory, and Skirrow, solicitors, Bedford-row ; at the Mart, and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury. THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation. and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and religious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration ; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the ass'stance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of us. It is on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5% hours from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' rice of Exeter. The county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. In selecting the best of everything, even THE FAT OF THE LAND was not ACCOUNTED 'TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with ornamental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is one of great beautY, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the soft undulating tolltu.e of its magnificent and TIME-HONOURED TREES is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that It was of almost boundless extent, and imparting just such an air of tempered wild- Mess as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined to look rather fo: the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the ornamental waters In front of the Abbey it is recorded Bef,)re the mansion lay a lucid lake, Broad as Transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way di.] take In currents through the calmer waters spread. THE RIVER AXE, so renowned by the disciples onsaak Walton for its piscatory` plea sures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may still be asked, "WHAT MORE CAN MORTALS NOW DESIRE ?" The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemplate; • by the way, THE MONKS' CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation. And to omit a pangyric upon THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS THE SLATE ROOMS would approach sacrilege. It really and truly may be accounted the WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival; and the• writer is exceedingly desirous that the reader should not for one moment charge this description with being too vivid. He may rest assured here is no flight of fancy, but a veritable and unassuming report. This descrip tion, It is perceived, has already extended beyond the limits pre- scribed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very im perfect recital, merely observingthat the terms used by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fathers her manor of Thorncombe, in exchange for the barren lands of Brightley, stating it to be " well wooded and fertile," are trebly appropriate in the present day, in proof whereof it may be stated that the Messrs. Fowler, of Grange Farm (the principal estate), bred a horn ewe in 1833, which weighed 18st. 44b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without one guinea of arrear ; indeed the latter word could not find a place in their vocabulary. The rent is exceedingly low. The demesne ex tends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS, MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND TAXES MODERATE. Such is a faithful narrative, that it needs not to be observed is very uncommon; indeed, seeing the abundance of unemployed capital (in spite of the railway mania), and the little value of money, the present is a most influential opportunity of possessing an invest ment in land which is preferable to all others—for, as it regards the alteration in the corn-laws, it has been observed by Mr. Robins, in another notice of sale, a fact which every day renders more and more certain, that " WE HAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT." There are MANORIAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of conslderable extent, and the principal part of the estate is within a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this ad mired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the adjoining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of karl Poulett and Lord Bridport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault. The full description, with plans and a drawing of the famed Abbey, are ready, and may be had at the White Lion Inn, Bristol ; White Hart, Bath; Castle, Taunton; Chard Arms Hotel, Chard ; Mr. Whitaker, solicitor, 12, Lincoln's Inn-fields, London ; Mr. Vaal, solicitor, The Close, Exeter; Mr. Salter, solicitor, Chard; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London, at Two Shillings each, (this being with the sole view to prevent a useless and unpro fitable distribution of the Hall particulars.)

BRITISH AND FOREIGN CLUB.—This new establish ment, attached to the Institute in George-street, Hanover square, was opened by a house dinner to its members on Monday evening. Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell was in the chair, supported by Lord Dudley Stuart, Sir Benjamin Smith, Mr. Buckingham, and a large party of gentlemen. The dinner and wines were served under the direction of Mr. Bacon, and were of first-rate excellence. Many animated speeches were delivered, and several songs, duets, and glees were sung by Mr. Lee and his fellow-choristers of the Temple. The entertainment was of a most agreeable character, and formed an auspicious opening for the club. THE PRINCE Louis NAPOLEON.—The death of the ex. King of Holland has greatly affected Prince Louis Napo leon, who has, since his escape, been refused permission to visit his venerable father. The Prince, it will be re membered, applied to the French Government for permission to visit his father, and promised to return to his confinement after performing this filial duty. This request was refused, and on his escape Prince Louis wrote to Prince Metternich for permission to visit Florence, and pledged his word in no way to interfere in politics, but no answer was returned from the Austrian diplomatist. A similar application was made to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and refused, princi pally, it is stated, through the representations of the French Government. This latter request was even limited to a visit of twenty-four hours. FIRE AT THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—DUBLIN, AUG. 4. About one o'clock this morning the roof of this fine struc ture was discovered to be on fire, caused, it is understood, by the negligence of some plumbers, who had been at work during the day. The alarm was promptly given, and a number of engines being speedily set to work, in the most effective manner, by parties of the Nth Regiment, from Ship-street Barracks, the fire was got under before four o'cicck, not withcut doing considerable damage to the roof and the lecture-room of the Mechanics' Institute. In the vaults of the building are stored several thousand hogsheads of whiskey in bond, and, had the conflagration extended to the spirits, the consequences must have been most disastrous, as the vaults run under the houses in Parliament -street, Dame street, and the Lower Castle-yard. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood, aware of their dangerous proximity to the inflammable materials, were kept In a state of dreadful sus pense while the fire lasted. FALLING OF THE MAIN SEWER IN REGENT• STREET. Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, It was discovered that a large portion, nearly twenty feet, of the main sewer had fallen in, near Foubert's-place, Regent-street, flooding the basements of the neighbouring houses. Workmen were immediately employed to effect the necessary repairs, and every precaution adopted to prevent accident. It is with much pleasure we observe that a committee has been formed at Rochdale, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Mr. Bright. His fellow-townsmen bear wit ness to the sacrifices he has made, the unwearied devotion he has manifested, the untiring energy with which he has la boured in the cause of free trade. It will be seen by an ad vertisement in our columns of to-day, that a committee h as been formed in London to co-operate with the Rochdale com mittee, to whom subscriptions iney be paid, and we hope that all persons who pTo'oas the principles of free trade will come forward and add their names to the Sl,l4sCription Hat, THE MEXICAN AND WEST INDIA .

The Eagle left Barbadoes for Demerara July 9. The Reindeer arrived at St. Thomas July 15. The Clyde left at Vera Cruz, on the 2d of July, her Ma jesty's frigate Endymion, 44, Captain G. R. Lambert; her Majesty's sloop Rose, 18, Commander R. W. Pelly: her Majesty's steam. sloop Vesuvius, 8, Commander W. V. O'Cal laghan. Her Majesty's brig Daring, Commander Matson, sailed from Havannah for Jamaica in July. At the time of the Clyde's leaving, the Fort of St. Juan de Ulloa was well supplied with men, and the two forts adjoin ing were defended by 1,000 men. It•was thought that if the Mexicans stand to their guns, the present American force of ships would produce no effect. Santa Anna remained at Havannah, but was daily expected to be recalled. In addition to our usual Mexican correspondence, the following interesting news has reached us from another source : "The Mexican Congress was installed on the 6th of Juno General Paredes was elected President, and General Bravo Vice-President of the Republic, and powers were delegated to the President to effect an arrangement of the public debt arid to raise money to meet the pressing wants of the coun try ; but the financial condition of Mexico was most lament able—the ports blockaded, the revenues anticipated, the pay- - mfnt of the dividends expended, the salaries of all public officers reduced one-fourth, and the Government compelled to adopt ruinous loans to meet the exigencies of the day; added to which, a great portion of Southern Mexico was in open revolt against the Government, which had been forced to dispatch troops to the disturbed districts. e The Californias have declared their independefele:,6t. Mexico, and orders transmitted by the American Govern ment to their senior officer off Vera Cruz had been for warded through Mexico to Commodore Smith, in command of the American squadron in the Pacific, to seize on every Mexican port on the coast. The states of Virrange and Chihuahua were about to form an independent republic, under the title of the Republic of the Rio Grande ' to be protected by A mer i ca. General Altameira, who had been deprived of his command and ordered to repair to Mexico to account for the loss of the battle of Matamoras, but who had declined to obey the sum mons, was to be President. "General Taylor had occupied the villages on the right bank of the Rio Grande, and was about to March on Sanfallo, where he intended to wait instructions from his Government, preparatory to marcbing on M ex i co . • " Vera Cruz was declared in a state of siege, and martial law proclaimed on the 30th of Jue, as it was reported that the American squadron would attack the castle of San Juan de Ulloa on the 10th of July. The greater portion of the British, foreign, and Mexican residents had consequently left the city for the interior." The Clyde was permitted to enter the port of Vera Cruz, land quicksilver, and embark specie, under terms of an ar rangement entered into by Captain Petty, of her Majesty's sloop Rose, and the senior officer of the blockading squadron. Captain Pelly deserves great credit for securing such exclusive privileges for the royal mail steamers. His services have been highly appreciated by the British Minister and merchants resident in Mexico. Contrary to the established rules of blockade, the captain of the United States corvette St. Mary, stationed off Tampico, refused to admit the arrangement of his senior officer, and prohibited the landing from the Clyde of 1,080 bottles of quicksilver, destined for that place. They were subse quently !anted at Vera Cruz, and on the circumstance being communicated to the American Commodore, he ordered the St. Mary to repair to Vera Cruz, and con firmed his senior officer's arrangement`, extending the privilege of landing quicksilver and shipping specie to both ports. Her Majesty's steamer Vesuvius has been dispatched to Tampico, to bring away all money the property of' British subjects. Ninety thousand dollars were shipped, and after wards transferred to the Clyde at Vera Cruz. General Santa Anna remained at Havannah. His friends were active in creating disunion amongst the Mexican troops, on the plea that he alone could save the country at this critical juncture; it was very generally believed that a portion of the soldiers would pronounce in favour of his recall. The Clyde spoke the Prince Albert on the 11th of July, off Havannah; the Feliza on the Ist of August, in lat. 46, long. 22, from Cardiff, bound to New York ; and the Antigua packet, in lat. 46.50, long. 21, same d a y. By this arrival we have our usual files of papers, contain ing, however, very little news. The Trinidad Standard speaks highly of the new Governor, Lord Harris. He had become the patron of the Trinidad Agricultural Society, and presided at the late general meeting. He has given much satisfaction in following the example of the Earl of Elgin, in giving prizes for agricultural essays and improve ments. The Jamaica Dispcttch gives the following notice of the weather : " Oar correspondent from Manchester informs us they have had fine rains since Friday for the ground, but very little for the ponds, which are'very low. The coffee crops, in consequence of the severe drought, will be very small, as the rain comes too late to expect any blossom of conse quence. The cattle generally have suffered much, and on many properties great loss; this makes the third successive bad year for pens, which, like most other Jamaica proper— ties, have become scarcely worth the anxiety of carrying them on." (From the Plymouth Post ) "Thanks to a merciful Providence, we have been blessed in this parish for the last week with several partial but refreshing showers of rain. and we are g l a d to learn front many of our agricultural friends that the effect on the soil already begins to be perceived, as the pastures and field of cane are assuming a green and healthy appearance. The rainy seasons may now be said to have set in, and although they are rather late, we sincerely trust that they ha ve come in iufficieut time to secure agoodyielding for the next year's crop. The late drought has nearly ruined many industrious planters, whose little capital was embarked either in the purchase or leasing of properties, and it will now require some years of prosperity to relieve them from the difficulties into which they have been unfortunately thrown." On Sunday, the 26th ult., a melancholy accident occurred on board the royal mail ship Clyde, on her voyage home from Bermuda. A seaman named Patrick Welch, engaged very early that morning in furling the fore-topgallant sail during a squall, missed his hold, and fell from the yard with such violence that he aied in about an hour afterwards. Th• un fortunate man was a native of Dublin, and bore an excellent character among his shipmates. So far as is known, he has left no one behind him dependent on him for support; but the passengers, to show their sympathy with men exposed to such perils in discharge of their duty, set on foot a sub scription, and the sum of 16/. sterling having been collected, was placed in the hands of Captain Symons, to be given by him to the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners'Benevolent Society. `Our letters from the city of Mexico are up to the 29th of June. The Mexican Congress was installed on the Gth, and ad dressed b 3 General Paredes, in explanation of his policy and the situation. of the country. The insurgents of Guadalaxara, Mazatlan, and San Bias continued in arms, notwithstanding the efforts of Govern ment. The State of Durango was devastated by the Indian tribes. The Californias bad declared their independence of Mexico, it was supposed through American intrigues. General Taylor, with the American army, greatly aug mented by volunteers, remained in possession of Matamorae, and had occupied the villages of Reynosa, Camargo, and Mier, on the right bank of the Brano (or Rio Grande del Norte). He was expected to advance on Lonterey and Sal tillo, where no resistance could be offered. General Paredes had been elected President, and General Bravo Vice-President of the Republic.

FORCES AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (From the Cape of Good Hope Shipping Gazette, May 15.) In our last we briefly alluded to the skill and bravery of the South African farmers, and now, under so able a leader, about to confront the savage foe, they must soon turn the scale in favour of the colonists, and inflict on the invaders their well-merited chastisement. The following is a return of the armed force collecting to oppose the Kafir hordes, and it has been compiled from the best sources at our com mand:— Estimate of the Forces for the Defence of the Frontiers, on their Way, or about to be dispatched, from the different Districts:— IVURGITEIL LEVIES.

A FLAG TO BE SOLD.—A flag, a little worn, with "No Surrender " inscribed upon it, is offered to the collec tors of national relics. The flag has been in the campaign of the corn-Jaw and sugar questions, and will now go at a price very much reduced from its original cost. Should the flag be again required in any future service, a liberal sum will be given for the loan. Apply for terms to the Duke of Rich.. mond, post paid.--Punch. BALLYFINN, AUG.
