Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor- Witty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after uging itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.— 3, Swan-street, Borough.' In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops, on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly.

At last the long expected communication from Mr. Murphy, which was to set at rest all the uneasiness created by Senor Gomez Farias' dispatch in the minds of the bondholders, has - Made its appearance. The second enclosed document, which is the most important one, is of formidable length, and we cannot abstain from a wish that brevity had been rather more consulted ; but, so great is the anxiety of the creditors on this subject, and so curious is the position - in Which the Mexican debt has been placed since the arrival of Senor Gomez Farias, that we cannot do other Wise than give it entire. At pre sent we publish it without comment, since it is of itself quite sufficient for our readers' digestion, but we have no doubt, that when it has been'considered over a little, it will be found a fruitful source of controversy : 4 ' TO G. K. ROBINSON, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE CON MITTEE OF SPANISH AMERICAN BONDHOLDERS. " Sir,—ln compliance with the Intention expressed in the letter I had the honour to address to you on the 16th inst., I now beg to enclose two documents, Nos. 1 and 2. " The first is a copy, at full length, of the ccmtnumca don addressed to me from Mexico, and of which an ex tract only was published in the Times of the 16th, ac companied by a letter signed 'B. Gomez Farias.' I think it right that the committee and the bondholders should have before them the whole of that document, so that they may be able to appreciate the reasons for the resolutions adopted as therein set forth in reference to the late conversion. " Document No. 2 is a copy of my answer to that communication. This answer, I trust, as I said before, will place matters in their true light, be found satisfac tory to the bondholders, and justify my conduct through out this business. " Allow me to add that, although the resolutions on the conversion have been taken on receipt of my letters of the Ist of July, yet the whole particulars of that con version were forwarded by me to the Government on the Ist of June, and, had there , been any objection on the part of the Godeinmelit then existing, I ought to have received communications to that effect by the packet before last. To judge from letters which I have received from a member of the Government under which the matter originated, it would -have been fully approved of. " I have the honour, to be, Sir, your obedient, servant, " T. MURPHY. " London, Odtober 19, 1846." (Translated from the Spanish.) " MINISTRY OP HACIENDA. " Most Excellent Sir,—l have made a communica tion to the Most Excellent Senor General-in-Chief of the Republican Army, charged with the supreme go vernment of the nation, of your Excellency's note of the Ist of July last, and, after having carefully con sidered it conjointly with the dispatch relative thereto, he has given me instructions to inform your Excel lency in reply . that he cannot nor ought he to consent to the conversion of the foreign debt of the republic lately contracted in that city, creating for that pur pose a now consolidation fund of 10,241,6501. sterling. The Government, authorised by the law of the 2iith of April of last year to liquidate and settle the foreign debt, was exclusively occupied with the settlement of that known under the names of Deferred' and Debentures,' as appears by the dispatch relating to the matter. It was proposed immediately to withdraw the same, giving to it a new form, by which the nation, apportioning to itself the greatest reduction possible, might easily fulfil its obligations, and re-establish by these means its credit. After various operations effected for this purpose, and of which your Excellency iS well aware, it was settled that the abatement which should be solicited should be that of 60 per cent., and that, in order to obtain it, there should be tendered to the holders of the bonds of the before-mentioned debt, Deferred and Debentures, the special guarantee of the best revenues of the republic, such as 20 per cent. of the import duties at Vera Cruz and Tampico, those on the exportation of specie from the Custom-houses on the Pacific, and the monopoly of tobacco. Thus it is that, grounded on these bases, he issued the decree of the sth of March last, in which he created a new consolidated fund of 4,650,0002 sterling for the conversion of the before-mentioned debt, and of which, in due course, an authenticated copy . was for warded to your Excellency, in order that it might serve for your Government in the operations which this busi ness would demand, subsequently fully authorising you. in order to remove the obstacles which might present themselves in the attainment of his said ideas upon the bases aforesaid.

" Your Excellency has, notwithstanding, taken no no tice of the principal point of the before-mentioned de cree, in consenting to an arrangement that prejudices very considerably the interests of the republic, and places it in such a position as to render it incapable of making good its promises, provided it should allow it to pass without annulling it. " Because, by the decree referred to, of the sth of March, the Government ordered the creation of a new consolidated fund of 4,650,0001. sterling, which should produce an interest of five per cent. per annum, and your Excellency, without any authority, has made it extend to 10,241,6501., stipulating for the payment of 'the reve nue due - upon this sum every six months, and the remit tance to London of 500,000 dollars annually for the amortisation of the capital. Far from consulting the credit of the nation, your Excellency places it in a posi tion inevitably to ruin it, for if it has found a difficulty in fulfilling the arrangement entered into with regard to the Active Debt, which is the half of the new fund cre ated by your Excellency, how can the obligations lately entered into for the whole be complied with, without leaving the republic without resources to meet its most absolute necessities ? contract entered into by the :Mexican Government with Messrs Manning and Mackintosh in Mexi co . This I have proved in my dispatches of the Ist of June and the Ist of July to that departmont, of which I herewith transmit copies; but, for the sake of affording still more ample evidence of the truth of what I hfive stated, I wil. now furnish a palpable demonstration. " Before the decree of the sth of March was issued, the Mexican foreign debt, created through the house of Lizardi, and recognised in the decre of the 15th of De. cember, 1843, was composed of the following items:- Ist, £5,591,650 of Active Bonds. 2d, ... 4,624,000 of Deferred Bonds. 3d, 499,096 of Debentures. 4th, 419,3731 of overdue Dividends. " The decree of the sth of March set forth—' That a new consolidated stock be created fur 4,650,0001., and that.out of it there be taken a sufficient amount to re deem the Deferr e d B on d s an d D e b en tu res a t 40 per cent., and the overdue dividends at par;' and the contract with Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh was to this effect, viz., ' That the surplus of the new stock of 4,650,0001. which remained after having effected the redemption set forth in the decree of the sth of March shall be delivered to the agents of the said house, who have bought it.' " Thus, then, by this operation, the 2d, 3d, and 4th items of the four which constituted the Mexican foreign debt, created through Lizardi, as above-mentioned, dis appear, and in lieu thereof, a new stock of 4,650,0001. is substituted, which, added to the first item, that is to say, to the 5,591,650/. of Active Bonds, produces for total of the Mexican debt the sum of 10,241,6501, " Such in reference to the amount of the debt would have been the practical result of the decree of the sth of March, if the creditors had accepted it in its primi die form. " But, this not having been the case, I then took the following view:— _ _ "'That a new consolidated stock be created for 10,241,6501., and, with it, withdraw from public circu lation not only the Deferred Bonds, Debentures, and over. due Dividends of Lizardi, but also the Active Bonds; and thus, as regards the total amount of the debt, the same point which the Government proposed to itself in the decree of the sth of March will be arrived at. As to what relates to the prices at which these distinct obli gations are to be redeemed, this is a proper subject of agreement between the bondholders and the agents of the house of Manning and Mackintosh, because those gentlemen having purchased the surplus which should remain of the 4,650,0001. of new stock, treated of in the aforesaid decree, after effecting the redemption therein prescribed, the only thing which interests and is im portant to the Government is that in the result of the operation the Mexican foreign debt does not exceed the sum of 10,241,6501., which is that recognised by the de cree of the sth of March.' RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 20. " This I accordingly proposed, and I proposed it in virtue of the full powers which were conferred upon me in the instructions which I received from the Finance Department, dated the 7th of March, to remove what ever obstacle might oppose itself to the execution of the decree of the sth of March, on the basis of converting the Deferred Bonds and Debentures at 40 per cent.

Was it in the per tentage? No ; be cause this question interested alone Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh. Was it in the redemption of the De ferred Bonds and - Debentures solely, leaving the Active Bonds of Lizardi in circulation? Yes, if the intention of the authors of the decree of the sth of March was, first, to make a profitable operation with the Deferred Bonds and Debentures, and then, at a later period, to attack the Active Bonds. But such views could not be attributed to the highly honourable men with whom the business originated and was brought to a conclusion, for, on the contrary, the whole tenour of their communica tions and instructions to me prove that their principal object was to attend to the credit of the republic abroad by settling the foreign debt on a permanent and final footing. It is evident, therefore, that it was immaterial whether in such a settlement the Active Bonds of Lizardi should remain in cireulation or not; the real importance of the case consisted in this, that, whatever the arrange ment might be, the foreign debt should not exceed a total sum of 10,241,6501., that being the precise amount it was the object of the decree of the sth of March to create; and, as I have not done anything else, there can be no doubt that it was fully within my powers to pro pose what I did, and, my proposals having been ac cepted by the creditors, the said decree was fully and punctually complied with in reference to the amount of the debt ; because it is not to be denied that the spirit and principle of this decree were not to redeem this or that paper of Lizardi at such or such per cent., but to consolidate a debt which should not pass 10,241,6501. " I pass on to the question of interest. It has been already explained that if the decree had been accepted by the creditors in its primitive form, the Mexican debt would have been composed of the following items:— " 1. Active Bonds of Lizardi " 2. New Consolidated Stock Furthermore, the before indicated special securities having been offered as an indemnification to the bond holders who might accede . to the abatement of 60 per cent., by what authority has your Excellency reduced it to 10 per cent. with respect to the Active Debt, of which arrangement no mention is made in the aforesaid de cree, but merely of the dividends due upon it up to this time ; and to 40 per cent. as regards that of the Deferred and Debentures ? Is this regulating yourself by your aforesaid instructions, in which it is set forth that bonds of the Deferred Debt and Debentures would be received at the rate of 2501. for 100/. of the new consolidated fund ? 66 Your Excellency makes a calculation in your com munication of the Ist of June, showing that, with the abatement of the 10 per cent. effected upon the Active Debt, and of the 40 per cent. upon the Deferred Debt and Debentures, is obtained that of 50 per cent. that was desired upon the latter. But, if this be so, it appears that upon the Active we have not obtained any abate ment ; whereas we have injured ourselves by granting to the holders thereof the special securities which have been tendered solely to those of the others for the afore said abatement of 60 per cent., settled as the permanent basis for the conversion of the debt into the new con solidated fund, and not of 50 per cent., as your Excel lency indicates. , s Therefore, if the transaction was not agreed to in accordance with the terms of the decree before-men tioned of the sth of March, your Excellency ought to have communicated it to the Government, to. have pro posed to it the fresh project that had occurred to you, to have awaited its determination, and not to have pro ceeded to realise it instanter, prejudicing in a most ex traordinary manner the interests of the nation—a condi tion that was imposed upon you in the ample powera that were granted to you to carry out the intentions of the decree aforesaid, but not to subvert them. " Therefore and forasmuch as the holders of bonds of our foreign debt were aware, from the aforesaid decree, published in due course at London, how far your Es eel lency's powers extended upon this subject, and ought consequently to impute to themselves the losst s which may be incurred by them from such a transaction, from not having acted with the precaution which is generally made use of in matters of this description, the Most Excellent Senor General-in-Chia, charged for the time being with the government of the nation, hereby de clares— " 1. That he annuls the aforesaid conversion of our debt, effected in the consolidated fund of 10,241,6501 sterling, making your Excellency responsible for the in juries and losses that may arise to the republic from that operation. "2. That it is immediately to be thus made known to the public through the press of that city, in order that the bondholders of the converted stock referred to may obtain the old bonds that they may have delivered in for conversion as aforesaid, and return those which they may have received in lieu of them of the consolidated fund. " 3. That it is likewise to be made known to the b6nd holders of our foreign debt, through the medium of the press, that the Government of the Republic intends to open through other agents a fresh negotiation, by which the nation, making another equitable arrangement, may fulfil punctually that which it may contract. " 4. That your Excellency , being relieved by the Go. vernment of the Republic from all trust and commission you may have received from it, do deliver to the Secretary of the Legation in that city the archives belonging thereto, and whatsoever papers there may be in your possession relative to the special commissions that it may have intrusted to your Excellency. " I communicate the same to your Excellency by supreme command for your information, and for the pur poses consequent thereon. " God and liberty. yALENTINGOMEZ FARIAS. ".£10,241,6t0 " Mexico, 28th of August, 1846. The Most Excellent Senor Don Thomas Murphy, " Minister Plenipotentiary to her Britannic Majesty." (Translation.) " MEXICAN LEGATION CIRCA DE SA. MAJESTE BRITAN- NIQUE. " For the payment of the interest and redemption of the capital of the first item, the decree of the sth of March assigned 20 per cent. of the Custom-house duties of Vera Cruz and Tampico, and the export duties on silver from the ports of the Pacific; and for the payment of interest and redemption of the capital of - the second item, the same decree assigned the monthly sum of 117,708 dollars from the tobacco revenue. Now, I ask, is not this precisely the same thing as to assign for the payment of interest and redemption of the total capital of 10,241,650/. the identical 20 per cent. from the Vera Cruz and Tampico Custom-houses, the export duties on silver by the Pacific ports, and the 117,708 dollars monthly from the tobacco revenue? " This is what I have actually done as regards in terest, and consequently it remains perfectly demon strated that in this part also the decree of the - sth of March has been rigourou carried into effect, with this important advantage, hoAver, for the Government, that whereas by the said decree of the sth of March the in terest on 5,591,6501. of Active Bonds was to take date from the month of April this year, and that on the 4,650,000!. of the new stock from June, by what I have done, the interest on the whole 10,241,6501. will not commence until the month of July, which produces a difference in favour of Mexico of a sum of 445,810 dol= Lars, as I have very clearly shown in my dispatch of the Ist of July. " It now remains to speak of the redemption fund : " For the redemption of the new consolidated stock of 4,650,0001. the decree of the sth of March assigned the annual sum of 250,000 dollars from the tobacco revenue, and for that of the capital of 5,591,6501. of Active Bonds ; his Excellency the Minister fur Foreign Affairs, in his confidential dispatch No. 8, of the 7th of March, calculated that the 20 per cent. from' Vera Cruz and Tampico, and the export duties on silver by the Pacific, would leave an annual sum of 162,087 i dollars. " The committee of bondholders, before proposing to them the arrangement contained in the decree of the sth of March, that is to say, previous to the meeting of the 18th of May, required that this last amount should be raised to 250,000 dollars (securing the difference on the tobacco revenue), so as to make it equal to that which had been assigned to the redemption of the new consoli dated stock in the aforesaid decree. In consequence of this requirement I immediately consulted my powers, and saw by them I was authorised to remove whatever difficulty might oppose itself to the carrying into execu tion the said decree. The disparity which existed be tween what was arranged for the redemption fund of the 4,650,000/. of the new stock, and that which was calcu lated upon for the redemption of the 5,591,6501. of Active Bonds, was a difficulty offered by the committee of bondholders ; consequently it was within my power and clearly My duty to make the concession required of me, and I did so. This is the pure logical deduction which, in this matter, justifies my conduct , in a legal point of view, there not being in the power so vested in me by the official communication of the 7th of March, before mentioned, the restriction alluded to in the com munication now:under:reply. But if the matter be viewed under moral considerations—if it be considered that the requirement of the committee involved no more than a sum of 87,9121 dollars, an amount quite insig nificant as compared with tile advantage resulting from the operation to the nation, and which, as shown in my dispatch of the Ist of July amounts to upwards of 11,000,000 dollars—if it be borne in mind that these 87,912 i dollars were dedicated towards the redemption of a debt which was incurring annual interest of great amount—if it be remembered that the amount saved in interest compensates for fully five years the annual dis bursement of this sum—and, finally, if the justice in trinsically involved in what was asked from Mexico be regarded—namely, to place all the bondholders on an equal footing ;—if all this be held in mind, it will be seen that had I opposed myself to the concession de manded of me, if indeed would have been to fail in my duty, and to misunderstand my instructions. In truth, if those instructions did not authorise a thing so compa ratively trivial, it would be very difficult to say what was their object. And mark! this money, as just stated, is for redemption—that is to say, for the only object which in reality interests Mexico in a loan. To the bond holders it is amply sufficient that the interest be strictly and punctually paid ; therefore, if circumstances had prevented the remission of that sum for redemption, pro vided adequate remittances were made for dividends, the obligations of Government would have been sufficiently fulfilled to have prevented any heavy disappointment to them. There is no doubt whatever that I could in . virtue of my powers consent to the requirement of the com mittee. Well, then, if the redemption fund of the new stock was by the decree of the sth of March 250,000 dollars, and that of the Active Bonds (with the addition of the 87,912 f dollars) other 250,000 dollars, is it not clear that the redemption fund of the total debt of 10,241,650 L was twice 250,000 dollars, that is to say, 500,000 dollars? Yet this, and no more, is what I have consented to in this matter. " London, Oct. 17, 1846.

THE BONDING WAREHOUSES AT MANCHESTER.— We have much pleasure in laying before our readers the following statement of the amount of eustoms duties received at the custom-house here, durinc , the quarter ending the 10th of October last. It will be seen that there is an increase of 2,610/. above the receipts of last quarter, and 38,1761. above the corresponding quarter of last year. The amount received during the quarter ending 10th of October,_ 1846, was 56,640/. ; during the quarter ending 10th of October, 1845, 18,4641.; increase on the quarter, 38,1761.

Peel's corn measure. We understand that it is accounted for by the increased number of parties taking advantage of the saving of charges, as well as the convenience and satis faction attending the bonding system, which is now being generally adopted by the principal wholesale &filers in tobacco, tea and coffee,iwines and spirits, &c., in Manchester and the neighbourhood.— Manchester Examiner. PRICE or GOLD.--The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 555 and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 70, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9k. ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at she' t being 13 94, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh, L-y,/ 2 . / , PRICE SD. Tampico Custom-houses, the same export duties on silver from the Pacific, and the same 117,708 dollars monthly from the tobacco revenue, with the advantage to the Government in reference to the period at which the interest should commence, as already explained. " Finally, my instructions authorise me to consent to the augmentation of the redemption fund of the Active Bonds to 250,000 dollars per annum, secured on the to bacco revenue (the only point which is not strictly within the limits of the decree of the sth of March), but this augmentation, as it has been already seen, did not exceed the sum of 87,000 dollars per annum, and was compensated for to a certain extent by the advantage secured on the interest account. Before leaving this point, it is well worthy of remark that the dispatch of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to which I have before alluded, owing to an error in underrating the annual in terest of the Active Debt by 97,913 f dollars, actually states the amount left free for the redemption fund of the Active Stock at 260,000 dollars; so that, in point of fact, I did not provide a larger redemption fund for the whole debt than was clearly contemplated by the Government. , It is therefore clearly and absolutely proved that the arrangement adopted by the creditors, and carried into execution, is nothing else - but the same decree of the sth of March in another form (securing the advantage already alluded to relative to interest, and also that very important one, of having in circulation but one class of paper); and that, as well for adopting such new form as fcr the augmentation of the redemption fund, I , was fully and amply authorised. That I, then, have not in any way transgressed the powers I held from the former Government, and that the conversion of the Mexican debt has been accomplished in strict accordance both in fact and principle with the decree of the sth of March, is a thing beyond controversy. Such being the case on one hand, and it being also unquestionable on the other, that no Government, legitimate or not, can destroy the acts of the preceding:Government involving contracts or agreements; that the conversion is really and incon testably of transcendent advantage to the nation; that it is now consummated, the greater part :of the Lizardi paper having been already converted and cancelled; that to restore that paper again and recal the new bonds is now a physical impossibility, even although the right of doing so existed; that the creditors of the nation cannot be made the sport of our constantly recurringrevolutions and changes; that, even bad I exceeded my powers, this would have been a matter for which I should be per sonally answerable to my Government, but could not set aside the rights of the bondholders, especially as there is no correctness in what is alleged in the dispatch I am replying to—namely, that by the publication of the de cree of the sth of March they knew the extent of my powers, because those were comprised in a separate do cument, which has never been published ; that these things all tend to lower my country more and more in the estimation of the world ;—for all these grave and well-founded reasons I h a d deemed it necessary, as stated at the commencement of this dispatch, to abstain from publishing the measures which have been adopted with a view to annul the conversion, in order that by so doing an opportunity might be afforded to the Finance Department for a further and more attentive considera tion of the subject, which would no doubt lead to a re vocation of measures adopted in my opinion too precipi tately. But as another party, to whom by a most strange proceeding a copy has been furnished of the communi cations addressed to me as the Minister of Mexico, has, without any known official character, caused the same to be published, I, who have an unsullied character to maintain, especially in a country where I have resided so long, and where I have received se many marks of dis tinction,—l, who am unjustly accused of having trans gressed my powers, of having set aside the cardinal points of the decree of the sth of March, and of having consented to an arrangement which considerably preju dices the interests of the republic, whereas its effect is to reduce the foreign debt by nearly five millions, the in terior debt by full five millions more, and to give to Mexico 1,600,000 dollars, in money,- 2 I shall, although with deep reluctance, publish this very communication which I now address to the Finance Department, because such a course is what justice and my own rights demand. " I do not dwell on the contents in general of the com munications I am replying to, but I shall make a few short observations theron. Neither in my dispatch of the Ist of June, nor anywhere else, have I made those calculations about a reduction of 50 per cent. which are gratuitously attributed to me. The calculations to be made, as much on the decree of the sth of March as on the arrangements actually accepted by the hondholders and with reference to the amount of Lisardi's debt, are of a very different description. " Those calculations would, in either ease, show a re duction of 27 and a fraction per eent. As I said before, my powers did net contain the restriction mentioned in that dispatch under reply. So far from the object of the former Government being to introduce restrictions, it was their view to enable me to settle the business at once, to as to avoid the necessity of my sending it back a third time to Mexico, as I had done on two previous occasions, in consequence of my fear of doing what perhaps I might not be strictly authorised to do. " I shall make one more observation on this business. The removal of a Minister Plenipotentiary is not an at tribute of the Department of Finance. I cannot, there fore, see the object of mixing up this measnre with the others concerning the conversion. "In conclusion, although a humble individual, I will take the liberty of giving advice to those who may be at the head of the Government of my country. Let this extravagant measure be revoked, and let the engage ments entered into with the creditors be fulfilled, inas much, at least, as may be within human possibility under existing circumstances. Thus, and by a similar conduct in all the other affairs of the republic, a proof will be given to the world that the object of the last revolution is really and sincerely to enter upon a new order 'of things which would be regular, just, decorous, and worthy of respect. "Let this be assiduously and uprightly sought for, — there are elements in the country which will make the task easy, but it might be a bad beginning if the rulers suffer themselves to be deceived and influenced by false representations and perfidious counsels. " I have the honour to be, &c., "THOMAS MURPHY."_ RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EUSTON-SQUARE STATION.—The area originally, says Mr. Stephenson, was 6 acres, an addition of six acres has been purc hased, making, in future, altogether ,12 acres. The length of this station is 480 feet. When the :extension is completed it will be 757 feet. The area will be doubled by the improvements—increased from 6 acres to 12 acres. The proportion of passenzers, those going to the West-end compared with those going from Euston-square to the City, is as 9 to 6. The length of the platform is between 420 and 430 feet it is proposed to be made 700 feet long. The saving: in cartage, which would be effected by transferring the London and Birmingham goods station to Euston-square varies from is. to is. 6d. per ton. The excellence of locality of station proved by superior facility Ind economy of moving passengers to any part of Lon don. A cab can be hired for is. 4d. to take passen gers to almost any part of the metropolis. Mr. Locke decidedly approves of the situation of the Euston-squ'are station, and does not consider that any public advantage would be experienced by an ex tension into the City. The company have power to charge Is. extra on every passenger conveyed from Camden-town station, but have never exercised this pri vilege. The average number of passengers who come and go from the Euston station is estimated at 4,000 daily. The largest number of . passengers who arrived in one day at the Euston station is 3,421. The largest number of passengers who have left the departure plat form in one day is 2,513. The largest number arriving by one train 773 ; the greatest number departed 596. There are 42 trains daily, 21 in, and 21 out. When the improvements and extension now in progress are com pleted, new and different arrangements must still be made to afford (says Mr. Glyn, the chairman) accommo dation for the continually increasing traffic. The York shire and Lancashire traffic will in future be worked at different sides of the station. The mails for these dis tricts are repeatedly delayed from the confusion occa sioned by the immense trafie. The platform for the Midland and Eastern lines will be perfectly distinct from the others. The new departure platform is calculated to accommodate 60 carriages under cover. There are occasionally trains of 28 carriages arriving. The aggre gate shed-room amounts to 8,705 square yards, and is insufficient. The average number of vehicles at Euston station each night is about 320, of which 260 belong to the London and Birmingham Company. . BRICKLAYERS' ARXS STATION ON THE SOUTH.; EASTERN.—There are 26 [acres of clear space at this station for cattle and goods, and every thing requisite for carrying on a very large railway traffic is collected. It is most complete in all things necessary for a goods station. The station, with the approaches, cost upwards of 240,0001. It is used almost entirely for goods station for South-Eastern Railway. Is quite insufficient during the season of the hop traffic, but, according to Mr. Baxendale, the inconvenience arising from this cause is limited to a month or six weeks in every year. Most of the west end passengers now stop at this station instead of proceeding to London-bridge. CUTTINGS.—In considering the question, Mr. Bendel, engineer, is of opinion that they are far preferable to viaducts or railroads on the level of the adjoining street. The annoyances to the inhabitants are less by a cutting than either of the other modes of corstruction. In a cutting the noise of a train passing is considerably less than by a viaduct or level. Passage of street, in a cut ting may be attained without disturbing the surface, which is very desirable and advantageous. Founda tions of houses are benefited rather than injured by n railway in a cutting, from the necessity of putting in retaining walls in separate trenches. CAMDEN TOWN STATION OF THE LONDON AND NoRTH-WESTERN.—Large as this station is, it isen tirely inadequate for the immense traffic carried en there, upon the authority of Mr. Baxendale. It is 22 acres in extent, and quite insufficient, says another carrier, Mr. Hayward. The general route into the city is from this station. The area of the station is 30 acres, according to Messrs. Creed and Glyn, the secretary and chairman, rather more than one-half of which is appro priated to roads and approaches. In addition to this 0 -p ,i a, Messrs.nceuse.

The Spiteful is leaky, and having assistance from, the naval yard-here; she is bound to Chagres, where it is said the United States Government are about to forma line of packets between that place and New York. She has also dispatches on board for the Pacific. Tke Pickle, 3, Lieutenant Henry Bernard, sails to morrow for Havannah, with the Hon. Colonel Bruce, the brother and secretary of our late respected Governor; on his way to Canada. Captain Darling is to officiate as secretary to the Lieutenant-Governor pro fern. Colonel Fancourt, the superintendent of the Honduras sralement, who as been here for some time for the benefit of his health, sailed in the Bathurst for his seal of government on the 10th inst. 4. The Eagle, 50, Captain Henry B. Merton, C. 8., and . the Alecto, Commander F. W. Austen, are expected here from the Brazil station to reinrce our squadron, and they will not arrive before it is time, for the Little Pickle is ag l ain left to protect alone the whole of the West India islands. The Endymion, Electra, Rose, and Daring, are in the. Gulf of Mexico, . while the Vindictive, liyacinth,Ter, sian, Viper, Vesuvius, and Columbia, are all at the northward. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Severn sails to day at noon with the mails for England. The Forth is on the Spanish Main, the Tweed at Bermuda, and the Tay on passage to this island from Grenada. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 20.—The Scourge, steam bomb vessel, Commander Caflin, arrived this morning from the , eastward; and came into harbour. The greatest expedition is being used to get the St. Vincent ready for sea by Thursday. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain Lspidge, is also being re-fitted for sea with all possible dispatch.

The Worcester, 50, with the exception of her masts, has been discharged from the basin, complete in her fittings, as an advance-ship. Captain Arthur struck his broad pendant on board the Ocean on Monday morning, Vice-Admiral Sir Edward King, the Commander-in-Chief, having returned to his command. NAVAL PREPARATIONS IN FRANCE. The Presse announces, that important contracts have been concluded by the Minister of Marine at the ports of Cherbourg, Brest, L'Orient; Toulon, and Rochefort. "It is known," adds the Presse, " that the Chambers, during the last session, struck with the deplorable defi ciency which appeared in the stock of oak in the dock yards, voted considerable credit to the Minister of Marine to enable him to procure a sufficient supply. The late contracts were concluded in compliance with this resolution of the Chambers, and amount to not less than from 25,000 francs to 30,000 francs, and embrace a period of three years. The amount of these contracts, and the political importance, which is so legitimately attached to every matter which constitutes our maritime resources, justify the care which we have taken to collect accurate inform - ation relative to the contracts concluded in the different ports, and which have been submitted to thu Minister for his opprobation. The contracts for Toulon amount to 32,260 steres of oak; for Brest, 40,150 steres; for Cherbourg, 24,960 steres; for L'Orient, 34,463 steres; and for Rochefort, 32,910 steres. The comparison of the quantity contracted for the secondary ports with that for Toulon, leads us to suppose that the Minister relies upon other resources, otherwise it would bo difficult to explain the improvidence of neglecting our principal naval arsenal in the Mediterranean, which may be called some day to perform an important part during a political complication. Eng land possesses more foresight ; sbe purchases enormous quantities of timber in the Adriatic and in the Black Sea. Why should not we imitate her ? After the burning of the Mourillon, at Toulon, the Minister of Marine gave orders to one of our most experienced engineers, to explore the abundant stock of timber fur ship building to be found in the neighbourhood of the Black Sea. That engineer has returned, he has rendered an account of his mission, and, if we are well informed, his report has fully justified the previous in formation. A new source of supply for our arsenals may be opened in that quarter. But even that must not dis pense with our internal resources, and in this respect the administration of some of our ports has ill understood the mission intrusted to it. CITY OF LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITIITION.—The second quarterly meeting of the elocution class belong ing to this establishment took place last night in the lec ture .room of the institution, Gould-square, Crutched Friars, on which occasion several young gentlemen, members of the class, recited selections from the works of our best - dramatists, including Shakspere, - Otway, Sheridan, and Centlivre. There was a due proportion of the " grave and gay" comprised in the entertainment which was most creditable to those who provided it, and appeared to give the utmost satisfaction to a crowded andience of members and friends of the institution. ,Mr. Rowley occupied the chair ; and among those who took part in the recitations were Messrs. George, Walter, Carrol, Gleed, Fury, Wale, Thomas, and Cross. .The class appears to combine the twofold merit of aiding in dividual improvement and the general attractions of - the institution. THUNDER STORM IN SPANISH TOWN.—A very severe thunder storm was experienced in Spanish Town between three and four o'clock on Sunday last, which was succeeded by one of the heaviest falls of rain within'the recollection of the oldest inhabitants. In this city (Kingston) the rain commenced early yesterday morn ing, and continued for the whole day with little or no intermission. The streets overflowed with water, and in consequence very little if any business was transacted. Jamaica Morning Journal, Sept. 23. WANTON DESTRUCTION OF SHEEP IN THE ESSEX MARSHES.—For the last two or three Sundays the in habitants of Plaistow and East Ham have been subjected to considerable annoyance by the incursion of a large number of Cockney sportsmen into the parish, for the ostensible purpose of spending the Sabbath by shooting in the marshes, but as the following will show, for the real purpose of doing considerable damage to the sheep and cattle turned into the marshes prior to being brought up to Smithfield Market. The "sportsmen," who ge. nerally belong to the working classes from the neigh bourhood of Shoreditch and Whitechapel, muster in con siderable force. as many as from thirty to forty'being seen " popping " at whatever may come in their way at a time. During the last week a number of sheep have been taken ill, and on one or two of them dying they were opened, and a large quantity of shot discovered in their insides. Others have been driven into the deep ditches with which the marshes abound, and have been drowned. Three men were arrested on a charge of the above description, and taken before the magistrates at Ilford Petty Sessions. They were, however, discharged, owing to some informality. DESTRUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE EY FIRE.—MAIDSTONE, OCT. 17.—The night before last a disastrousin, fie r Lin b t r o o n k , e n o e u a t r o t h n s t he town.far farm r r . e premises h ionf was from home at the time, but, one of his neighbours wit nessed at a distance the first burst of the flames, and hastened The most laudable alacrity was at on to c e give rn all within bail to render assist ance efforts on to stop theint h e i r labourers, ei the e ed al b a y rm . o assiduous th e games than daring tthe especially those in Mr. Allchin ' s em p l oy , many of ne be i ng them exposing themselves to imminent peril by ascend ing to the top of the burning stacks and attempting to tread out the flames, until the fire acquired such an ascendancy that they had no time to descend by the ladders, but were obliged to throw themselves off pre3i pitately to avoid being consumed. An engine from Maidstone was quickly on the spot, but all efforts to stay the destruction were in vain—upwards of 160 quarters of wheat and 100 loads of straw falling a prey to the devouring element. Fortunately Mr. All chin is insured. • WIGAN.—RAPID RISE IN PRICE OF PROVISIONS.— This is now the prevailing topic, and people complain of their bread being advanced to 2d. per pound, and of its inferior quality, owine , to its being adulterated with an excessive quantity of Indian meal and potatoes. Typhus Never is very rife here, and seems on the increase, and some precaution is necessary to prevent the disease from spreading amongst dense localities, but there can be little hope whilst the staple food of the population is mixed with diseased ingredients. It is said in the neighbourhood of Wigan, that some of- the corn-law repealers have bought up large quantities of American flour, as speculations likely to turn out profitable. The people ought to petition Government, urgently, to open the ports immediately, both for their own sake and to thwart the ends of the avaricious speculators who arc seeking to accumulate wealth from a starving people.-- Preston Chronicle. ---_ -- 4 ,1 aer or, , 0 0 liip el 1';," a
