Congratulations are, doubtless, Leing reciprocated in the Conservative Cabinet of Versailles. Never, however, has there been less cause for congratulation in the French Government sinee the glorious revolu tion of '3O. King Louis PHILIPPE may rejoice at the consummation of this Spanish intrigue, but the French people have infinite reason to deplore that in auspieieus ceremonial. To the former the marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIBR is a specious assurance of the consolidation of his dynastic interests. To the latter those nuptials are only an augury of diplo matic embarrassments and disrupted alliances. A species of fatality appears to have characterised the recent proceedings of the GUIZOT Administration. The French Ministers and their subordinates must have swallowed one of those draughts of fasci ration familiar to, Arabic literature ; the magic rose-leaf of NOURAJAIMA D must have been secretly conveyed to the shoulder of the Count va BARSSON ; or that astute ambassador and his colleagues must have degenerated into the syco phantic agents of royal cupidity. Without one or tither of these preliminaries, the officials of the Tuileries could never have proceeded with such un bending pertinacity in the facilitation of a marriage ao manifestly inimical to the national interests of Prance, and so cpposcd to the happiness of present soul prospective millions. No partialities, however, could retard this unfortunate union ; no desires were suei iently powerful to diminish the anxiety for its realisation. Much as the GUIZOT party had sacri ficed for, and long as they had endeavoured to perpe tuate the existence of the entente cordiale—the Entente cordiale was sacrificed because it was an obstacle to the Montpensier marriage. Valuable and protracted as had been the European peace, the Euro pean peace was placed in imminent jeopardy because the Orleans family was solicitous for the Montpen- Pier marriage. Dangerous and even fatal as French interference in Peninsular affairs had been at the commencement of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen turies, that peril was courted, because by such an in terference alone could the Montpensier marriage be arranged. The dignified protests of England, the lowering aspect of the Spanish population; the histo rical warnings of Louis XIV. and NAPOLEON 1., the dissatisfaction evinced by many Frenchmen, and the continuance of international friendships, were all equally despised. And why? Because the only marriageable son of Ldins Pniuirris would thereby obtain an opulent bride, together with the possible reversion of a crown ; because the European iefluence of that SOVEREIGN would be thereby ma t -rially enhanced ; because the old Bourbon aspiration of virtually annihilating the ryrenees would be toeyeby accomplished, and because, forsooth, the mar riage' of his Royal Iligimess of Montpensier with the INFANTA would tend very marvellously to the ggrandisement of the regal importance of the Orleans dynasty 1 Surely, this sacrifi ce ' o f the wishes, th e interests, and possibly the heart's blot% of a free reople, 'simply for the domestic advantage of the grandson' of .EgaW, is but a sorry consummation of tl - le undying prinCiples and prodigious struggles of I:.e French Revolution! Surely it is the tacit abnega of all those glorious concessions to the majesty of the ‘ec; were then' obtained at the cost of so much aLd with the exercise of such gigantic powers! It is but a sorry sequel to the 'first brilliant achieve silent of the" present monarch of France. It is not R r i Al 4 E V Jo, 4.N4 I G t 4'l - I A, A T N -. 1 .1 ti 4 4 0 74 1. 1 .N` r-trA well to see the same man gambling away the inde pendence of a great nation for the selfish end of his own family emolument who, as the Duo DE CHAR TEES, fleshed his sword so bravely in the charges of Jemappes under the banners of DUMOURIER. King Louis PHILIFPR should have conned over the lessons imparted by the history of his own country before be embarked upon this dangerous enter prise: He should, as every conscientious So vereign does, have read the records of his people, and have been warned by the blun ders of his imperial predecessors. Had he suffi ciently weighed the precedents of Gallic interference in the affairs of Spain, he would have been more cautious in hazarding the same species of catastrophe upon a similar enterprise. Possibly, the upholders of the recent policy of the French SOVEREIGN may regard these objections to , that policy as of a rather penultimate character. Not so. -7 he marriage has undoubtedly been solemnized. Telegraphs and couriers have unquestionably conveyed the intelli gence to Paris. Bonfires have been kindled round the Pardo, guns have been fired from the Escurial, flowers and perfumes have been scattered upon the sacred pavements of Atocha, in honour of this illustrious occurrence. The Infanta Lutsi is now Duchess of MONTPEN SIER. So far, the wishes of Louts *Punters have been realised—so far, his insatiable lust of political influence has been gratified. But, observe the con comitants of these proceedings, and behold the prospects of woe which gloom through this hollow jubilation. The sullen and ominous silence of the multitude assembled in the streets ofMadrid on the entrance of the French Princes, the seizure of refrac tory newspapers, the bayonets and artillery that bristled round the carriage of the foreign bridegroom, the se verities which preceded his arrival at the capital, the unseemly rapidity with which the nuptials were solemnized—everything betrays the indignation of the Spanish populace, and the sense of insecurity which had taken possession of the minds of the contracting parties. Nor does the silly attempt at assassination by OLAYARIETTA sufficiently account for the extraordinary pre cautions taken by the gendarmerie for the preserva tion of the life of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. Statements the most garbled have disgraced the Ministerial journals of Paris, evidently written with an anxiety to delude the popular imagination. Such incidents as the determination of the Ayunta mientos of Madrid to cause the marriage of twelve orphans with liberal dotations, in commemoration of the royal espousals, have been vaunted in terms of amazing exultation ; while others, such as the refusal of the Ayuntamientos of Burgos to dispatch a congratu latory deputation, have been slurred over as of not the smallest importance. This ministerial hypocrisy will, however, prove of no ultimate advantage. The desti tute condition of Ireland, the implied apathy of the protesting nation, and the embarrassments supposed to threaten our Indian possessions, will not, as is presumed, shield France from the diffi culties her rulers have themselves originated. In relation to these imaginings, we would especially remind the Ministerial press of Paris, that churlish ness is not logic, that parade is not triumph, and that, though Colonel BLOOD could bear a regalia away in his pocket, it would be somewhat difficult for any one to commit a burglary upon a constitution, or to carry off, surreptitiously, the affections and obedience of a people. Great emergencies compel a recourse to extraordi nary means to overcome transitory and unforesetn difficulties. The functions of a Government are pri marily of an executive character. Their next chief duty is to take the initiative in legislating upon all matters of important public interest. This duty is best performed when the Executive are successful in anticipating the wants of the people. Inasmuch as Parliament is not always assembled, and also because, even when it is, legislation is frequently a tardy pro cess, the Government are authorised in many in stances by orders in Council, to check an evil, which, without such intervention, would prove highly in jurious to the country ; and again, such is the imper fection of human wisdom, that Ministers, overtaken by unexpected embarrassments of vast national con cern, have frequently, and with marked wisdom, either exceeded a particular law, or altogether set it aside upon their own responsibility, trusting to Parliament to indemnify them for their several or ' collective acts. We have recently had a notable instance of this policy in the conduct of Lord BESBOEOUOLL The defects of the Labour-rate Act for Ireland were peculiarly manifest. The Lord- Lieutenant, warmly pressed by all the leading men in Ireland to extend its operations, has adopted the recommendation upon his own responsibility. But, although this is a wise resolution, yet it is not to be doubted that It would have been infinitely better in the Government to have concurred in the propriety of its adoption much earlier than they did. Much of valuable time has been lost by the delay, and we are so much behind hand in carrying out the necessary means for mitigating the alarming consequences of the heavy visitation that has fallen upon Ireland. The evils the Administration had to cope with lay glaringly on the surface, and weeks ago not a moment should have been lost by them, in either convening Parliament for the necessary powers, or in assuming them, as they have at length done, upon the faith of future indemnity. This was precisely a state of things where energy and boldness on the part of a Government could have been most happily and efficaciously exhibited ; instead of which, the Cabinet have failed, to a great extent, in what is an invaluable portion of their duty, the anti cipation of the wants of the community, first, by not having passed their Labour-rate Bill so as to autho• rise and include theinvestment of capital in reproduc tive works in Ireland, and next by_the procrastina tion they permitted previous to curing this defect in the way we have alluded to. Delay is often tanta mount to destruction, and exigencies will not stand still whilst numerous public meetings are being as sembled to indicate to the Executive the adequate steps to be adopted for warding off great and im pending calamities. The celebrated PITT, was in the habit of having closeted with him the leading mercan tile men, and by these means was eminently success ful in legislating in due season fur the security of commercial harmony. Last yeir Sir ROBERT PEEL, fully alive to the then existing and greater prospective distress in Ireland, was prepared to open the ports, and subsequently stated is Parliament, that had his colleagues not coincided with his own views, he was fully prepared to undertake the entire responsibility of that and every other means for averting the horrors of famine that menaced to shadow the length and breadth of the sister isle. ‘Ve have been led to these observations in conse quence of an important memorial that has been ad dressed to Lord Joint RUSSELL by the working classes of ilanchester, at a public meeting which they held in their Town-hall on Tuesday last. They have entreated the GovernMent to call an immediate Council, to throw open the ports of the United Kingdom to all kinds of provisions, free of duty. We trust the Cabinet Hill promptly accede to their re quest,, The rise in the price of bread has within a short time become nearly equivalent to three fifths of its entire cost. The consequence is, that the receipts of the general tradesman are seriously diminished, and the home market for manufactures is already in a languishing condition. But what should determine the Govern ment in favour of the memorialists is, that, by the statistics presented at their meeting, it would appear there is in abundance of food in the country, and that, therefore, the enhanced price of bread is attri butable to speculation. We blame not the mono plising holders of corn ; they have a right to use their capital as they think most advantageous to themselves; but we shall view it as a matter of serious culpability if, when famine and crime are haunting us on all sides, the servants of the Crown should not put_ an end to the noxious system of gambling which . is being carried on in the chief article of human food. Let the ports be promptly opened; it will immediately once more place the loaf within the, reach of the s t a r v i ng poor , arrest t h e h an d of crime, , enliven commerce, and speedily dispel the gloom which is hourly pervading every portion of her MAJESTY'S dominions. We have news from Geneva of the 12th. The Provisioi al Governmect was conducting affairs in the most orderly manner, and the canton was per fectly tranquil. The party in the ascendant do not appear disposed to abuse their vi: tor,-, The Berne de Geneve, which is conducted by M. ?Jr - Alms FAZY, the chief of the revolutionists, c;)ntains an article strongly condemnatory of-a propositiOn which had been made in an anonymous paper circulated through the city for the formation of an exceptional tribunal for the trial of those members of the ex-Government who had ordered the troops to fire on the people. Madrid papers of the 9th hkve arrived. The He rald° says— " Two days ago it was reported that the British Go vernment had sent in another enervtic note against the consequences of the marriarre of the Infants; but yester day we were assured on the contrary that Queen Vic toria had written a very satisfactory letter to Louis Philippe, in reply to one which she had received from him. The rise of the funds here yesterday is attributed to this announcement." The same journal, in allusion to the man who had been arrested on a charge of attempting to shoot the Duc DE MONTPENSIER, says there are various rum.ours as to who he is, but it is disposed to attach credit to a report that he is the brother of Gne of the tutors of the daughters of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, and that he is insane, and will probably be confined in one of the lunatic asylums. Mr. BULWER returned to Madrid on the evening of the Bth, and on the same du Mr. COBDEN arrived in that city. MADRID BotsA, Ocr. 9 —The Three per Cents. were done at 35 3 A for cash ; the Four per Cents., 21 1 h ; the Five per Cents., at 22 ; the Debt without Interest, at 6%; and the Coupons, at 20%. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Madrid correspondent of the Constitutionnel gives the following account of the reception of the French Princes in the Spanish capital : " The space traversed by the Princes from the Bilboa gate to the Palace is much about the same as that from the Hotel de Ville at Paris to the Place du Carrousel All the balconies and windows along their passage, which was through thn streets called Fuencaral, Mon tera, Puerta del Sol, Calle Mayor, Platerias, and the Arch of the Palace, were filled with people, and yet neither the spc•ctatcrs at the windows nor the crowds in the streets made any re,ponse to the gracious sa lutations which the Princes ineasantly directed on every side. Not a single cry of approbation or Oisapproba tion was uttered by the populace during the whole way. At the Calle de la Montera, in which there are many shops kept by Fr( nehmen, a Jew women at the windows waved their handkerchiefs, but they found themselves so completely alone in their testimonies, that they very soon ceased giving them. On arriving in St. Mary's-square, at the end o! the Platerias, the houses in which are in habited by the French and Neapolitan embassies, the representative of the h-use of Rothschild, and by the officers of the Palace, their Royal Highnesses were generally saluted, but even at this point there were no acclamations. As the procession passed the Puerta del Sol a man, standing close to a group of oolice officers, cried Long live the Duke de illontpensier,' but this only provoked a counter-cry of Spain for ever.' This is the only incident worthy of remark that occurred in the entry of the Princes. Their reception in the capital may therefore he said to have been circumspect and cold, but not hostile." Tne Constitutionne/ remarks with much severity upon the conduct pursued by the Spanish Govern ment to the Opposition press. What that conduct is may be judged of from the following account which appears in the same paper : "Nothing gives so just an idea of the sprit with which the Government is animated, as the fact that yesterday four journals, the Espanol, the Eco del Comer cio, the Clamor Publico, and Espe:;tador were seized on na other ground than that in their accounts of the entry of the Princes, they suited that it was not attended with any enthusiasm, aid that the entire ceremony bore an official character. I cannot call your attention too strong!y to the condition to which the Government has rednced the press. After basing by four successive de crees changed, and by nin ans of simple royal ordon winces, rendered more rigid the a. vere laws by which the press was governed—a law which, in fact, was a copy of your law of September ; after having abolished the trial by jury, ald subjected the press to a special tribunal, composed of judges removable at Veasure, the Government has intro duced the previous censorship by a process worthy in all its points, of the maxims of Escobar. The last law on the press prescribes that the first copy printed of every work shall be laid before the Prefecture befora it is sent into circulation. Now, this is what the Ministry gains by this simple provision —it is enjoined that directors of journals shall suffer three hours to elapse between the delivery of the first copy at the Prefecture and the send. ing out of the impression. During these three hours a censor named by the Prefect examines the journal, and marks those whose publicatit.n is to be interdicted. Then a police-officer presents himself at the office of the jour nal, and seises the whole impression. It might be be lieved that satisfied with thus preventing the ,appear as ce of such journals as are displeasing to it, and, having thus insured the practical exercise of the previous cen sorship, the Ministry would rest content; but despotism is contagious, and Governments accustomed to it, carry their t) ninny to the bounds of absurdity. After having subjected the journals of Madrid to the censorship, they have imposed upon them the same penal ties and fines for their censured articles as they would have been liable to had these articles been published. The Eco del Commie and Espectador have each been just condemned twice to pay fines amounting to 25,000 f., and this, not ' for having published, but for having had the intention of publishing articles denounced by the Public Minister, and adjudged by men in the pay of the Government. Such is the liberty of the press in Spain, such is the constitutional system of our Ministers, and to which France is about to lend the support of her strong arm. You are now able to appreciate the accounts given by the Herald°, and the two journals in the pay of the Go vernment—the Impartial and Popular—and in which it is gravely stated that the greatest enthusiasm and deeptst sympathy P.ttended the reception of your Princes by our people. Nothing more effectual could be done if it were desired to render the sojourn of the sons of the King of the French at Madrid unpopular, and cer tainly their personal affability, and the private qualities fur which Viey are so distinguished, would have over. come. the repugnance excited by the po:icy of the French Cabinet, if the rigorous exaction of the penalties, and the other coercions with which the Government burden:- and fetters the press, did not destroy every fav,purable impression." The organs of the Ministerial pasty are chuckling vastly at the idea of the approaching ruin of England, who, according to the Journal, des Debuts, is on the point of losing her Indian Empire, and is disabled from moving by the Irish famine. This from the friends, supporters, and originators of the entente cordiale is very amusing. The Slade, the organ of the O'Dillon Barret party, has an an admirably written article on this same entente - cordiale, for which it would, in common with ourselves, wish to see sub stituted a durable alliance between the two nations on honourable terms. We give this important article in extenso "It we unreservedy blame the faults committed by a government whose decisions appear to be all dictated by egotism—if we reproach it for the honour even of our country for those acts of duplicity of which Europe at this moment calls on it to reader an account, and of which we regret it has not been yet able to justify itself, we are not the less decided on supporting the right and the cause of France. And let it not be believed that we are deceived, like our pretended Conservatives, as to the state of affairs which the proceedings of our diplomatic agents, if they are such as they are reported to be, has created for our country. It is a gross illusion to per suade oneself, like the I'resse, that Lord Palmerston, in case lie should think it necessary to demand reparation for what his journals call an act of trickery, would find himself isolated even in England, and particularly Europe. It is in vain to bring forward against him, without proof, the opinions of Lord Aberdeen and of Sir Robert Peel ; it is in vain to say that he has ac quired for himself the reputation of a mischief maker and of a revolutionist with the European Ca binets, and; that if he were Mad enough to carry this affair of the marriage any furthellt is well known what would be the result of it—all this is boasting and puerility. The Debats held a nearly similar Language in 1840, and it is nevertheless known what took place. Lord Palmerston, approved of or not by his colleagues, was supported by them to the end of his policy. Austria, who at first on the Egyptian question appeared disposed to accept the arrangement proposed by France, suddenly changed her opinion, and united herself to the coalition already formed of the other powers, and the Court of the Tuileries, which thought itself so sure 'ci overthrowing Lord Palmerston, was compelled to beat a retreat, and bend before him. Then, nevertheless, no hesitation was felt in denouncing Lord Palmerston as a dangerous agitator, as an incendiary Minister ; than also, or a little before, there were pointed out with great outcry those appeals to revolt of subjects against their Governments, which proceeded, it was said, from the Cabinet of London. But, when it wr.s necessary to act, the absolute monarchs did not hesitate to range themselves on the side of the o!d British aris tocracy against the French nation, which never ceased in their eyes, whatever language its Government might use, to represent revolution. We will say, moreover, if the attacks of our Conservatives against Lord PA LM rston were all merited ; if it were true that, instead of confining himself to keeping up some miserable agitations, sometimes in Spain, and at another time on some other point, for an interest exclusively English, he was really, as the Presse sap, the natural supporter of revolution in the world ; if that were true, we should regard such attacks as a title of honour for the representative of the Whig Cabinet, and we should re gret still more that instead of embroiling itself with that Cabinet for a purely dynas'ie interest, Government had not endeavoured to foni.d.v,ith it the durable alliance of the two nations in some grand enterprise useful to the liberty of the people. It is in fact solely on the condition of protecting the welc, acting in defence of right, at.d promoting the development of liberty in the world, that Eng:and and Fiance can honourably unite to g6-ther ; and we may add, that if this union be pos sible, it is with the Whigs rather than with the Tories, whose si.‘ntirnenta are invincibly in favour of absolute monerchiee. At every—period, when the ill will cif the English Government shows itself towards France, ore :le - .•tyri the prospect in perspective of an alliance with But, iu the first place, this alliance is not, that e e are ewer° of, offered to to-.; end, were it even offered, it would not probably be obtained except on revolting end impious conditions—the &Au donment of the Poles, of the Italians; of all suffering na without speaking of the mere or less remote abandonment of Constantinople. At such a price the alliance of Russia would be too dearly purchased ; France entire would reject it. We believe in the possi bility of an alliance with part of Germany, when Prussia shall lave a Liberal constitution, and shall be interested in preserving it. Until that time a serious and sincere good understanding with Great Britain founded, not on the exchange of some courteous words between prince:, but on the true interest of the people, and on the community of the principles which govern their institutions, is , a hat is to be desired for our guntry. This understanding might have been esta blished after 1830, and again in the year 1836, if the fear of the ultra-Conservatives had not paraly se d a ll movement. In the last ten yea's it has only existed in aprearanne ; now it is quite broken, broken by the advo cates of peace a fwd. pi ix, for a family in'erev, aed, it it must be said, for a dowry! It is a serious re-ponsibility which is taken before the country by those Ministers who have so many times repeated to us that the entente cordiale was for us a sheet anchor, for the preservation of which no sacrifice o f power or of dignity was too great for the nation t o lighter make. ti T e c h i ! u s responsibility they have not row to d ea l w i t h a Tory appears to th em apparent l y Ministry, with a Conservative Ministry proressirg 1 ke themselves to be opposed to the most legitimate wishes of the people. Who are Lord Palmerston and his col leagues? Powerless mischief-makers, who will be easily overthrown, if they do not take part in our dynastic arrangements. This is a sad c ilculation, rind a dan gerous illusion. We are perfectly of 'opiaion that our Government, even after having committed a fault, should not yield to arrogant menaces, to importunate clamour; that it should maintain its right when that of others has not been violated; we do not feel the slightest sympathy for those pretended Spanish patriots who range them selves behind the English Ambassador, to cry with all their lungs, A Las la France!' But we again call on our Government and thegreat Conservative party, before giving way to their fits of ill- humour against the Whigs, before denouncing them to the animadversion of the ab solute cabinets as the natural supporters of revolution in the world, to look around them and to see what port would remain to them in Europe on the day when, no longer able to reckon on the British Cabinet, they shall have turned against them all the interests of the revolution." The National has an able article, from the pen of "A Veteran Diplomatist," in answer to the arguments of the Presse, on the treaty of Utrecht. The answer is complete. In allusion to the slight degree of im portance which the National attaches to the treaty of Utrecht the " Veteran Diplomatist" admits th 4" the KING elected in 1830 has completely accepted the treaty of Utrecht," and then proceeds to show, by the most incontrovertible arguments, that by the provisions of that treaty the issue of the marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER are absolutely excluded from the succession to the throne of Spain. With regard to the distinction which the Presse attempts to draw between the .wording of the preliminaries of 1709, in which alt the French Princes were excluded from the throne of Spain, by succession, marriage, convention, or other wise, and the text of the treaty of 1713, and from which it draws the conclusion that in 1713 the principle of exclusion was abandoned, the " Veteran Diplomatist" replies—." What was in effect . the question under consideration in the preliminary negotiations of 1709 ? It was the recognition of Cliaar.Es of Austria as King of Spain. It was very natural, under those circumstances, to carry out the principle of absolute exclusion as regarded all the French Princes without exception. And you are astonished that this abso lute txclusion of all the French Princes is not reproduced in the treaty of Utrecht, that is to say in the very deed by which one of those Princes received the crown of Spain !! ! The negotiators of the treaty must have been idiots if they had exactly copied the preliminaries." But the solemn renun ciations of 1712 are not less clear, nor less precise, nor less obligatory. There was no n ecessity to ex clude Princes from the succession who, by their own act, excluded themselves and their descendants for ever. It was sufficient to verify these renunciations in the treaty, and to incorporate them with it as an integral part of it. This was done, and it was added that the treaty should be observed scrupulously, and with good faith. It is then to the terms of the treaty—to the clear and precise expressions of the ' documents annexed to it, that ' we must return' Now, the Presse insinuates that the word mar riage, which it carefully underlines, is not to b found in the text of the treaty of 1713, . although it does occur in the preliminaries of 1709. This is puerile when we consider the words of the renuncia tion of the Dake of ORLEANS. The rights of our birth or all others which may below.? to us in any manner whatsoever in which the succession may arrive at our line. He declares himself both for himself and fur his descendants excluded, incapacitated, and abso lute% incapable; and for ever. Who can maintain after this that the case of marriage has not been provided against as well as those of testament, con vention, Scc. " Besides, if the son of the Due DE MONTPEMIER should succeed to the throne of Spain, it wou ld not be by marriar, but by inheritance, and in virtue of the rights of the INFANTA, therefore the omission of the word marriage in the treaty of Ut rec h t d oes not invalidate the principle of exclusion, and under exist ing circumstances is of no importance." We regret we cannot find room for the whole of this admirably written article, which proves that the Duke of ORLEANS renounced for himself and for his children and descendants, however distant, for ever, and what ever might be their sex, all right of successio n to thee. Spanish throne, in whatsoever manner that right might accrue to them, and that this renunciation was registered by the Parliaments of Prance and Spain as a fundamental law of the two countries. h missi onar i es at ir u s' ntil he should ran ca l B, Captain 0B - Rt A auh c Ae c Ti o e • d ha i a i n i d g d k t e o p t capturedtthheem tepworoui prisoners re ceive instructions from France.

THE SOUTH- WESTER N RAILWAY EXTENSION. — During the last few weeks very considerable progress has taken place ir_ carrying int o effect, by order of the directors of the So u th-W estern Railway ° Company, the Act of Parliament for the extension of the line by arches from Nine Eli w, Vauxhall, to Pedlar's-acre, adjoining the Ilungerford Suspension Bridge. There is a direct opening made from the terminus to Vauxhall-walk, the line being intended to pass through the large area of ground in the front of Vauxhall-gardens. From the Wamdsworth-road to the Vauxhall -road neatly the whole of the piers are built, and which tare about four feet in width. On some of them the arches are in e,tirse of being turned. Between this distance there will be three bridges, W h eh will be constructed with strong iron girders. On the north side of the Wandsworth road the level with the arches will be continued to. tic t railway from the viaduct by a mound of earth, which is now in the course of formation, The occupants along the great( r portion of the remainder of the line have been treated with, and nearly the whole of them have agreed to terms without submittin g to a jury.

Tids bankrupt, who had carried on business as an ale and ; orter merchant at Kingston•on-Tharnes, came up to. day to pass hi s last examination. The bankrupt 's liabilities amounted to 8,108/. ss. Bd., but in consequen ce of his balance-she e t not being comet, no opinion could be formed of the assets. Mr. LAWRENCE, who appeared for the assignees, said they had agreed to have the examination adjourned, be cause of the unsatizfactory state of the accounts ; and they wished to inquire into the goods consigned. One of the assignees had a claim on the estate for 2,500/. Mr. SWAN, who appeared for a creditor, objected to the bankrupt passing, on the ground that he had traded and lived on the property of his creditors ; but if the appli* cation was granted, it ought to be at the bankrupt's oral expense. Mr. LAWRENCE trusted such a course would not le adopted; the assignees were anxious to see the consigned accounts, for at present they were not in a condition to say whether they were correct or not. His HONOUR said, that unless it was shown that tte bankrupt had acted with wilful negligence and fraud, be should not make him bear the expense of the adjourn' ment. The case mu s t b e ver y c l ear aga i nst h i m to 300: tify that. As the adjournment was for the benefit 01 the estate, the costs must be paid out of the assets. Adjourned for six weeks. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) Arthur Keefe, David Moore, and Michael Murranet three Irish -labourers, were indicted for violently a ssault' ing Edward Kelly, on the night of the 7th inst. The facts were marked by the usual peculiarities of Irish row, and the prisoners having pleaded guilty and expressed their contrition, the Court sentenced Mtursil e , to two months', and the other prisoners to five weeks imprisonment each. Yhomas Ryan and James Taplin, were indicted fi stealing a quantity of potatoes, the property of Oil employer, Mr. Thomas Logan. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners 115 been sent out with the prosecutor's waggon to deliver * load of potatoes to one of his customers, when Ryan re• turned in z short time and said they had lost one of the sacks. This upon inquiry was found to be false, and the policeman discovered a quantity of potatoes of a similar description at the prisoner's house. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to :Az week imprisonment. In the case of Anguish Honor Augustus Durant, against whom a bench warrant was issued a few days before the last session closed, on the charge of having horsewhipped another gentleman in the streets, Mr. WYLDE applied to the Court t o h ave t h e trial postponed until the next see; sion, on the grounds that when the case was adjourned from the last session it was with the understanding tha t the defendant would have a month or six weeks to pa' pare his defence ; but such a short time having inter vened, he was now unprepared with his witnesses. Mr. CLARKSO N , who appeared f o r th e prosec ution, said he sh ou ld not oppose the application, because he, was in hop es th at i n the meantime an opportunity wou l d be afforded to theparties, who moved in 0 most respectable sphere of life, to settle the matter without bringing it before the public. The COURT then consented to allow the case to stand over to the next sessions, Thomas Henry and James Smith were indicted for steal" ing a coat, the property of John Andrews. The facts of the case were of the ordinary description . The prisoners entered the prosecutor's shop, and whil e one pretended to be looking over some articles for the purpose of purchasing them, the other managed to take down a coat, which hung near the door, with which he walked away, but was seen by a person in an opposit e shop, and given icto custody. The prisoners were both 'mind Guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. SOUTH:NV ARK.—f THIS DAY.) James Byron, a marine-store dealer, in Kent-street, was eb:.rgen, before Mr. Seeker, with having purchased scan goods. A man named Regan stated that for some time past his children were in the habit of rubbing him of sheets, blankets, towels, napkins, and various other articles. ii° was at a loss to k now h ow they disposcd of the plunder, until at length he ascertained that they were in the habit. of selling the various articles at Lie prisoner's shop. He (complainant) went there, and found a Pa ir of overalls, which one of his children had only stolen a f ew days previously. He mentioned the fact to the prisoner, who, however, refused to de liver. them up, and actually sold them to a woman for t sum treble that which he gave for them. Regan . added that it was a h ar d case f or a man to have his chtldr.e._o encouraged by me n suc h as t h e d e f en d ant, who w e avidity perchsed whatev e r p ro p ert y was b roug h t to their shops, without the slightest inquiry as to how it was obtained, wh et h er t h e produce of plunder or otherwise.. The defend ant sa id he was very particular, and denied that he was in the practice of buying stolen goods. added, that a little boy came to his shop with the over alls, and said 1* was sent by his mother to sell them, and not doubting his word, he bought them. Mr. SECKER said he ought to have doubted the child, and in terms of severe reprobation denounced the eon duct of persons who purchased articles—regardless whe ther they were stolen or not—from children such as those belonging to the complainant. The Magistrate then sen tenced the defendant to pay to the prosecutor the full value of the articles he had purchased of his children ; and directed that if he did not immediately comply, a warrant should be issued to seize his goods and chattel/ to cover tho amount. CLER __KEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.) dßichard Jones was charged with riotous and disor erly conduct in St. Andrew's workhouse, and With wilfully breaking a lamp over the workhouse door, of the value of 7s. It appeared from the statement of the officers of the workhouse, that at a late hour last night the prisoner applied for admittance, and was admitted into the ward for the reception of casual paupers after he had been supplied with food. In the morning, at the usual hour for persons of the prisoner's description leaving the house, he received a piece of bread which he threw upon the fluor, and swore lie would not leave the house with out sonic money to carry him through :the day. The porter endeavoured to put him outside the door, but before he could do so the prisoner seized a billet of wood, with which he smashed the hall lamp to atoms. lie Was then handed over to the police. Mr. Coicnu said it was necessary that the officers of the workhouse, who had sometimes very arduous duties to perform, should be protected against such characters, and he should, therefore, send the prisoner to 'the House of Correction, to be kept to hard labour for seven days.
