LOVE is the leading feeling of the human keast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, b ut more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its inluence, er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo 'opby, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling Deaver of LOVE, wh ich, unlike most things, Increases in intensity Wi th time until It' receives the sacred consummation of marriage. W hen u nion does not take place, however, this passion, this ft ~.rvottr, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly r,., s i L i °n in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright- Cdr all thino upon earth.

The visit from France of the National Guard Is a capital theme for the mercantile. bard, Who, with every good Englishman, heartily cries - " Three cheers for our neighbours and friendly allies." The National Guard, from accounts that are written, Seem highly delighted at visiting Britain, And wherever the good 4allic strangers have been, They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have seen. The writer of this being present, for one, When the National Guards came to MOSES and SON, Can attest to the pleasure which each seemed to show As he wond'ring stroll'd through the mighty depOt, Not one cf the visitors failed to admire The ~hops sot apart for the sale of ATTIRE. They noticed the mart in its business design, And they noticed the dress, which they thought very fine. At the sight of the fashions each heart seemed to glow (And Frenchmen are judges of fashion, you know), And every one gave the peculiar shrug On seeing the Over-Coats, stylish and snug, Not a guard did I notice but seemed to be won By the elegant dresses of MOSES and SON. After they inspected the prime HATS AND CAPS, In which you'll imagine some time would elapse, And I scarcely need say that the National Guard, On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard, Such indeed was the case, and I didn't see one Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON. They next made their way to the prime BOOTS AND SRO! , S, Which of course they had n' disposition to lose, And here (for I judge from the shrug and the start), They were equally pleased with the grand City Mart, As , d I certainly thought they were " sensible Sirs," When I saw how delighted URS. they were with the " Well done, Messrs. Moses; well done," said each man (I give the translation as well as I can); And having applauded these winter affairs, They looked at the OUTFITS AND HOSIERY WARES, Which goods pleased them well, as the others had done, And caused ahem to compliment MOSES and SON. And be it remembered that, after inspection, Each one of the "Nati , nals" made a selection. Many thanks, gallant Guards, for your liberal aid, With warmth is this public acknowledgment made, And with this very view did the mercantile bard . . _ Select for his subject the " National Guard." E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting :oats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort in the At. E.

Caatten.—E. Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard the publie against impostors, but have learned that the untradesrnau like falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They have no connexion with any other house in or out of London; and these who desire genuine and cheap clothing, &0., should call at, or send to, Miuories and Aldgate, City, London. Notice.—Wo business transacted at this establishment from sun set Friday, till sunset Saturday, when bugles is resumed till twelve o'clock. A E R I A Cr E. M Ono half the wend are desolately single, and the otker supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea if caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should feria as item in the compact ; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, ll these surmises concern yet, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little - lEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered sy misinterpretation of their imposed contents, from obtaining them.

A LOVER PUNISUED.—The village of Harewood was nearly " frightened from its propriety" a few even ings ago, by a messenger from Weeton, " bloody e ith spurring—fiery red with haste," bearing the news th at "Jack had puazand hissen, and was oratnost deed, and t'doctor was to gan away directly." Away went the doctor, and found Jack apparently suffering from the effects of some poison which he said he had taken. The medical man proceeded to apply the stomach-pump, but Jack resisted this, and declared he only wanted to die in peace. The doctor, however, was not to be put off in this way, but mustered assistance, and, " will ye, nill ye," deluged the luckless w;ght with water, and emptied his stomach, in the hope of removing the poison. Now, as this was a proceeding the youth had not contemplated, and by no means agreeable, as soon as he got his mouth to himself, he confessed that he had taken nothing, but had been "shamming," in the hope of inducing a young lady to listen to his suit, but she declined the honour, end was on Use eve of her marriage with a most respect. able person in the next village.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FReM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—At this moment the most numerous the most wealthy, and the most intelligent of out county constituencies is seeking for a Member tt represent it in Parliament. The West Riding o: Yorkshire is perplexed to find a successor to the seat which Lord Alorpeth's accession to the Peerage he. left vacant. No wonder that such a search shout be prosecuted with heat, alacrity, and at the sam time fastitl'ousness. The largest district of the largest county in England has a right to be scrupulous it' selecting its representative. The district whist' blends the most striking features of manufacturing enter prise with the most imposing characteristics of terri torial influence has a claim to the services of no ig noble senator. But its title is ill-defined by tin boundaries of its area, or the amount of its wealth Though it combine the grimy and aspiring energy o' Leeds, Bradford, and Sheffield, with the less modern pretensions of Harewood, Bramham, and Went worth, it has political associations which are more precious than the opulence of its towns, or the ancestral reminiscences of its villages. It has been the source or the scene of the most stirring election contests which are known to this genera tion. Before the Reform Bill had established the principle of county divisions, the West Riding had excited and distracted the great shire by the rivalry of its own candidates. The election wars of the houses of Lascelles and Fitzwilliam were more fami liar to all Yorkshiremen than the war of succession, and on many of them had entailed a greater, but self imposed, burden of taxation. The contests since the Reform Bill have been as momentous as those which preceded it, as well when their result was to reject as when it was to reinstate native candidates; when it raised Henry Brougham many degrees above the family interests of a loyal aristocracy, as when it rewarded the public services o£ Mr. Cobden by ignor ing the many but less showy merits of Mr. Denison. There is not a question of importance which has not found its hottest battle ground and its most summary decision on the hustings of the West Rid ing. Catholic Emancipation, the Reform Bill, and Free Trade, have each received their brightest augu ries from the freeholders who met at Wakefield. A constituency of this kind may well feel embar rassment in the choice of a representative. Divided between its historical traditions and its present aspirations—between the influence of the county and that of the towns—it may hesitate ere it decide upon the man who is to speak and vote for it in the Impe rial Senate. Having been represented for generations by the leading families of the county, it will be warped by no illiberal prejudice against the aristo cracy; having displaced men of birth and local con nexion for Henry Brougham and Richard Cobden, it will be debased by no unworthy servility in their favour. Its first predilections will be for a name associated with it past history; its repudiation will be of a name which is tarnished, or not worthily sup parted by its bearer. In such a dilemma some of the constituency applied to the Hon. Charles Fitzwilliam, a very young gentleman of ancient family, long con fleeted with the politics of the Riding. The young gentleman almost anticipated the offers of his sup porters by the readiness with which he embraced them. He announced his intention to be a candidate in terms which were explicit on every other point but the profession of his political creed. This, for a po litical aspirant, was rather an oversight. But much may be forgiven to youth, and much was forgiven to his. Accordingly a body of self• constituted delegates from different towns of the Riding met at Normanton to extract a more open and direct avowal of his creed, and to tender to his inexperience a few admonitory suggestions. His reply was couched in language which expressed the conflict of modesty with caution. He was exhorted to give his votes for economical reform. This elicits a curious but cautious response : " Economy is a thing so universally acknowledged(?) that it did not seem to me necessary to mention it in my address." He was solicited to vote for a gradual extension of the suffrage. He is obscure in his reply to this ; but pleads the obscurity of his interrogators. With regard to the extension of the suffrage," he writes, " the question concerning it, as put in the re solution, was so ambiguous that I did not see how to give a decided answer, and did not wish to mislead by a decided one." Accordingly, he gives no answer at all. But the crowning question was (of course) a religious question. The Normanton delegates wer e mortally atraid lest Ireland should - be-pacified through the agency of mammon. So they made their adhe-• rence to the Fitzwilliam colours dependent on the youthful candidate's pledge to resist any further en • dowtnent of religion by the State; in other words to vote against the endowment of the Irish Catholic Church. But they got nothing by their motion. The discretion of the aspirant assumes the garb of the most amiable, but at the same time provoking diffi dence. "The most important of the four questions adverted to is one that has been scarcely mentioned in Parliament ;;,it would therefore be hardly respectful to the public, were I, at the eommencetnent of my political lire, to hazard an opinion on a subject which has never been calmly and considerately discussed by the public.".. — Was there ever ingenuous candour so tender and so discreet as this ? Yet, strange to say it satisfied not the delegates at Normanton. Some said the reply was vague ; others that it was childish ; and others there were who cherished the conviction that the Hon. Charles was " poking fun" at his constituents. Of course this was at once set down to "landed" insolence; and will, with the choicest phrases of this memorable letter, be kept for a future occasion. So the discontented ones were convened again. Wakefield put on twice its e angry habitual gloom to wel come th The Mayor of Leeds was called to the chair, and ex pounded how he had wr itt en to Mr. Fitzwilliam, and how Mr. Fitzwilliam had replied; h o w he (the Mayor) had rejoined, an d how Mr Fitzwilliam had taken no notice of his rejoinder. * Then resolutions were moved and strong opinions expressed—all con demnatory of Mr. Fitiwilliam's conduct, though no three speakers seemed to agree as to the gist of his offence. Some thought he ought to have said mor e about Free Trade:others that there was nothing to be said about it; some thought he ought to have deli vered a sentiment in favour of extending the suffrage, but then they disagreed amongT. themselves what that extension ought to be. of Then they ß . all h assailed the contingent payment on it they clergy, feue when to their mutual surprise they were not at one among themselves as to to the nearer question of the connexion of Church and State ; so, in the end, having disputed and divided one with the other, they unanimously resolved to do nothing at present, but watch their opportunity. Now, it appears to us that both t h e supporters an d the opponent s of Mr. Fitzwilliam have overlooked some essential qualifications in a representative of the West Riding. The first should remember that a vast constituency, consisting of great agriculturists and great manufacturers, should be represented by some man of political experience and definite pur do not wish to depreciate the claims of pose. We an hereditary name and ancestral services. The n ame of Fitzwilli am is linked .with many a constitu tional battle fouizht in hard times . against severe odds. with Catholic Emancipation ; with F . ree Trade in days when Free Trade had few champions , and with a long course of public-spirited ind e p ende nce. But the name of Fitzwilliam should not be thrust u p on Yorkshiremen as a su bstitute for knowle habits of busi ness. The man who is destitute of these qualifications is not the fit depository of the sugge_st . ions, the soli citudes, the inquiries, and the confidence of some ust f r o i r al some and 20,000 merchants, manu facturers, and farmers..

CHRONICLE. —Though we are willing to a c . knowledge that Mr. George Carr Glyn, jud g i ng Lords him by his evidence before the Committee, is one °Rile most candid opponents of the Bank Act of 1844, view s , upon we must at the same time pronounce u x e n Tre ce hiae l te l i d s ; vhtieee beA ct rather the questions on which he empirical than cornprehens was producing embarrassment at the particular juncture when the letter from the Treasury interposed to relax it, is necessarily conceded by those who, w i th OUT selves regard the issue of that letter, under the ex isting circumstances, to have been political and abene ficial. In making this admissi on we do but acknow ledge that in this, as in all other legislative slt regulations, we must look at the bala nce of advan tages, that every positive enactment whatever is subject to the contingency of adverse circumstances, and that, more especially in cases where the exercise of discretion is to b e re gulated, we must make our account to forfeit som e part of the b ene fi t occasionally to be derived from its free agency, it' we are to be secured at all times from the, dangers that T L - N 7 NOVEMBER 7, 1848. ' 'nay result from its unregulated laxity. These are he principles by which the Act of 1844 ought to he ;ridged, and they require for their application a ssme ehat wide survey, and an enlarged judgment. The nistory of former crises, the conduct of the Bank i)irt ction at those periods, as well as since the passing the Act, and the peculiar and very distinct chi ratter of the two periods ef April and Oetolrer, 1847, oust be carefully weighed and balanced bef rre a jurrt •entence can be pronounced upon the merits of the w. It joust be judged, too, not only by what it fleeted, but by what it prevented ; the security which it gave to public credit must be allowed for, as a large set-off against any pressure which it may nave occasioned to individuals; and it must never :se forgo ten how much even of the relief procured iry its relaxation was due to the beneficial operation .rf the Act itself. Those who argue, as we find both many of the witnesses and some on the Committee ageing, that the pressure of the mercantile world in the October crisis was gratuitously cruel because the convertibility of the note was at that very time beyond the reach of danger, forget that it was owing to the operation of the law which they arraign that the credit of the Bank paper throughout that most trying juncture was never for one moment impaired. With eight millions of specie in the issue department at the period in question, in addition to the banking reserve, the Government were enabled, without any compromise of convertibility, to offer a latitude which, if the bullion had been allowed to run down, as in 1799, to 1,200,0001. ; as in 1825, to 1,027,000/.; and as in 1839, to 2,400,0001., could not have been ven tured on without the fearful risk of superadding, to the commercial embarrassment of 1847, the scandal and disaster of a currency discredit. It is no question of alternative or of a comparison between the two evils. With Mr. Cotton, Mr. Norman, and Mr. Jones Loyd, we are compelled, by a careful retrospect of all the circumstances, to conclude, that had the principles of the law of 1844 not been acted upon, we should, in all'human probabili`y, have had both. Now, we cannot help remarking that of the ex tensive range of facts which oughs .to form the ele ments for a sound decision on this matter, Mr. Glyn has comprehended but a small secs; or in his view. The " experience" upon which he so emphatically condemns the law, is a narrow an microscopic one. He bends his eye sharply upon a single point of time, and, without allowing it to take in a wider field of vision, fastens upon the restrictive enactment of the law as the cause of all the mischief. He admits, in deed, in the most distinct terms (1,648), that the pressure in April (which was manifestly produced by the sudden and precipitate contraction of the Bank's advances) was beneficial, and that it was not carried beyond the extent required. Though he was not asked the question, we are sure that he is too can did to deny that the rapid rate at which the Bank had been reducing its Reserve from January to April, when it came down to two millions and a half, was brought to a check at that time by the positive provisions of the Act, and that, but for the existence of this barrier, the drain would, in all probability, have gone on. The " bene ficial pressure," therefore, which in April rectified the exchanges, is a circumstance most material to be included in any estimate of the Act ; and the train of consequences which, as we may reasonably presume, must have followed from a contrary pro ceeding—vie , from not contracting at all, or from contracting too late—ought to enter largely into the conclusion which an impartial mind is called upon to pronounce. It is neither philosophical nor just to say—" It is impossible for any human being to imagine what might or might not have happened had the discretion of the Bank in 1847 been perfectly unfettered. I see what did take place in fact—l can count up the number of firms that failed—l know the rate of interest at which money was screwed up-- I heard what fears were expressed about the confined position of the Bank—l witnessed the relief which the relaxation afforded and the satisfaction which it gave, and therefore I gave it as my opinion, founded upon these facts, that the Act decidedly failed." Such appears to us to be the drift of the argument on which Mr. Glyn grounds his opinion ; but this is surely not exactly the sort of "experience" by which measures of wise legislation ought either to be origi- nated or to be judged of. Mr. Glyn himself has, in one part of his evidence (1,744), correctly discrimi nett d the crisis of 1847 from that of 1825, by cha racterising the former as a banking panic, and the latter as a commercial one. He has enlarged more fully in other passages upon the character of the mercantile failurei and the causes by which they were produced. In his enumeration of these he dif fers little, if at all, except that he gives rather less weight to the operation of railway calls, -from Mr. Morris, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Horsley Palmer, and the other principal witnesses. Like Mr. Cotton, he ascribes a great part of the ruin of commercid establishments, at that period, to a speculative extension of trade wholly disproliitrtiuned to the apital of the parties. " With some few excep tions," says Mr. Glyn, speaking of the failures in the corn trade, and the East India and Mau ritius trade, " (and, there are e sceptions), I a m not prepared to say that those 1 n ses ought not to have failed. As far as I a::. connected with any of them, there is not one that tght not to have failed. It turns out now that i 1846 the East India trade had been carried on t i ron a system of credit to a very great extent." The consequence of this system, and a very natural etas certainly, the same witness describes to have been "a great degree of discredit and want of confiden -e throughout the country, which was very ranch increased by tke failure of banks in Liverpool and in other parts of the country, and, during the week ending the 23d of Oc tober, by a general distrust that seemed to operate amongst nearly all mercantile classes." This picture is a very true one, and the fact is equally notorious which Mr. Glyn goes on to allege, that the operation of this distrust, during which no loan thought himself safe, and every one doubted the credit of his neigh bour, was to induce the hoarding of the circulation to a very considerable extent. Bankers strength ened their reserves, and merchants and traders were anxious to supply themselves with notes much exceeding their wants, in order Ito be provided against a possible emergency. Then it was, when the extent of accommodation given by the Bank, and the quantity of their notes issued to the public, exceeded, by many millions, both the average amount of the circulation and the actual requirements of trade, that attention was drawn to the diminished amount of the banking Reserve, re duced by about the middle of October to little more than 2k millions, and an apprehension arose that " the reser ve would soon be driven down so very low that, in point of fact, persons who were possessed of property would not be able to convert it into Bat k of England notes." This is, we believe, a faithful epi tome of Mr. Glyn's evidence respecting the October panic; and when the several parts of his evidence are thus brought into connexion and harmonised, it is curious to observe how closely they coincide with the exposition given of the same events by Mr. .Jones Loyd, in which that gentleman accurately, distinguishes the mercantile from the monetary dis order, the latter being the effect and not the cause of the former. " Persons attribute the inconvenience," says, Mr. Loyd, viz., commercial embarrassment, "to monetary derangement, but the monetary derange ment was one of the inevitable effects of these circum stances, and not one of the causes." The panic, so far as it was monetary, which grew out of this revul sion and distrust, was cured by the interposition of the Government relaxing the Act. The conclusion which Mr. Glyn appears toe ready to adopt is, that wherever there is panic there must necessarily be erroneous legislation. There is no law that ever existed which such a test would not con demn. For a panic it is impossible to legislate; the infinite diversity of shapes which it may as sume can never be met by any enactment founded on principle. It defies both foresight and regulation. The Act of 1844, in permitting 14,000,000/. to be issued unrepresented by bullion, ar. I yet convertible, practically repudiates the possibilit.e of guard ing against panic. At the same time it t . akes i th e only securities against panic which are racismbe though none are absolutely safe, by adopting the sound prin ciple of conforming the variatie -re of the paper medium to the bullion which it -.presents, and it thereby secures the currency of ti country against reasonable alarm. Unreasonable ..!arm, which is panic, can only be met by discre - ary measures ; and the question to be decided is, nether this dis cretion should be perpetually left psi), to be ready against such an emergency, or whether it should be exercised exceptionally, and impromptu when the crisis has occurred. We shall state on another occa sion, our reasons for differing upon this point from Mr. Glyn. HERALD.— The Times considers that the amalgamation of the London an d N proposed o r th• Iv es7ern, Great Western, and South- Western Railway Companies present an ex cellent opportunity for the Legislature to make further encroachments on the rights and value of railway property. Our contemporary ven tures on the assumption, that large profits are synony mous with maximum rates of fares and minimum numbers of trains, and discovers in the operation of the penny postage, an argument why the state would, if the proposed amalgamation were granted, "be bound to claim a power of dictating new branches [PRICE SD. new trains, new accommodations, and lower fares." Our contemporary, whose assumption is as original . and bold as it is groundless, says, " A monopoly commanding the traffic of at least half the island," alluding to the desired amalgamation of the three • great companies, "is a property of indefinite and abnost optional value ; fur it is, in fact, as much as the fortunate ow:.ers may choose to extract out of it." Happy, indeed, would be the condition - of the " fortunate owners," Vt ho have had their property artirrarily and injuriously interfered with by leg;s lative enactments, if what is termed monopoly would eisabls them to render their traffic " of indefinite aid almost opti, nal value." So far from the " for tunate holders " being able to make as much as they " may choose to extract out" of a " monopoly" of reds\ ay traffic, the fact is patent to all who give the !lightest attention to railway management, that profi:s are almost entirely dependent, not so much upon the rates of fares and number of trains, as upon the character of the traffic which has to be dealt with. There are but few lines upon which high fares and a small number of trains would yield the largest possible amount of net profit, while mode rately low fares an d an amp l e number of trains wi 1 he found the true policy of the majority of our railway companies. We believe Parliamentary returns will show that a reduction of high rates has increased the gross receipts of a railway com pany more frequently than it has decreased them, though we doubt whether in some of the cases, the increase of the working expenses has not more than balanced the augmentation of the net income. Railway statistics prove that the productiveness of low fares depends in a great measure, not only upon the amount of population that can be accommodated, but upon the distance to he travelled, and that while very low fares, in conjunction with frequent trains, will develope a very large increase of paying traffic over short portions of the lines running from the metropolis, a similar reduction in the fares between London and Liverpool, or London and Exeter, would not realise anything like at omparative increase of net profits. The reason is evident. The persons who can be induced to travel, for instance, between the metro polis and Greenwich, and Pichmond, by the adoption of low fares and frequent trains, are to be counted by thousands or tens of thousands, but those who would be able to take advantage of low fares end frequent trains between London and Exeter, and London and Liverpool, are to be counted by hundreds only. People will not travel 300 or 400 miles simply becau• the fares have been reduced from 375. or 403. t') 344. or 365. It is but a comparatively limited few who can find time or money to make such a journey, and a reduction beyond a certain amount, which experience seems to have pretty clearly fixed, results in a loss upon what may be termed the remunerative customers of railway companies, without a commensurate increase of traffic being developed. For example, it is doubted whether any material reduction in the present rate of fares of the London and North-Western Company would much increase the through traffic, and those best able to judge are of opinion that the fares could not be further reduced without decreasing the net revenue of the company. The amount and character of the Lon don and North-Western traffic will always oblige the company to run at least six or seven trains daily to Liverpool, a number amply sufficient for the present requirements of the public. The ordinary trains run the distance in eight or nine hours, and the fares are, first class, 375., and second class, 275., which are the maximum fares by Act of Parliament. We cannot see how, with these facts before us, the London and North-Western Company would, by its amalgamation with the Great Western and South- Western, be able to get as " much as they chose to extract out of" the passengers travelling by their railways. " But," says o u r con t em p o r ar y, " the tri umvirs who have partitioned so large a portion of this island, and who are now about to ask Govern ment to consolidate their rule, may spare themselves all further trouble in the affair, unless they are pre pared to submit to a regular national control. With out this condition their demand is extravagant in deed. The carriage of passengers is a traffic not eery different from the carriage of letters. The difference is more in a few practical difficulties than in principle, and these practical difficulties have been vastly re duced by the invention of the railroad. A monopoly of letters in the hands of Government, and a monopoly of passengers in the hands of a private company, would inevitably suggest that either the one or the other must be wrong. Railways are now the highways of England, and therefore of public right. If we are consigned to one vast management, we must at least be assured that the convenience of all shall not be sacrificed to the profit of some. The management of the Post-office itself will suggest a model. net revenue to the State might hate been made three or four times what it is now, but advantage has been taken of its wealth to cheapen postage, to multiply communications and deliveries, and in every way to consult the general convenience. By the same rule the state will be bound to claim a power of dictating new branches, new trains, new accommodations, and lower fares. It is not likely that much dictation will be necessary, but the State must reserve to itself the right before it constitutes o vast a monopoly." The Times altogether mis-states the case. The "trium virs" are not, as far as we can understand the matter, seeking a monopoly, but to put an end to a ruinous system of competition which has been encouraged and promoted by the Legislature. Our contemporary thinks this system has not sufficiently deteriorated the value of railway property, and the " State" is now called upon " to claim a power of dictating new branches, i Iv trains, new accommo dations, and lower fares." The three companies in question do not seek, by the it proposed amalgamation Bill, to do anything which ,they cannot now indivi dually carry out at their pie asure ; all they desire is, to live in peace with each other for the benefit of their shareholders, and for the purpose of neutralising as far as possible the effects of restrictive and aggres sive Acts of Parliament. The Times, however, sug gests that Parliament should refuse this reasonable request unless those corporations will consent to expend fresh capital in the construction of the most unproductive portion of railways—viz., branch lines; add to the already unnecessarily large number of trains, and decrease fares, already, it is believed, too low to yield a remunerative return to the share holders. In what way "the management of the Post office itself would suggest a model" of " a regular national control" over the three companies, should they be amalgamated, we cannot conceive. If railway passengers could be induced to travel, and could be carried like letters in " indefinite" numbers, and if such numbers did not materially interfere with the cost of transit and rate of speed, profits would indeed be " optional," and the " fortu nate owners" of railways might get as " much as they chose to extract out of" their passengers ; but we humbly submit that such is not exactly the case. The Post-office has not a capital of some fifty or sixty millions to pay a dividend on, and we cannot under stand upon what principle it is the Times claims the right, on the part of the State, further to interfere with this enormous amount of private property for the purpose of benefiting the public, irrespective of the undoubted rights of the shareholders. It is very true that the " net revenue" of the Post office " to the State might have been made three or four times what it is now," but it is monstr ous from such a proposition to lay down a principle that the State will " by the same rule be bound to claim a power of dictating new branches, new accommodations, and lower fares," for how the paral lel is to be b2rne out unless the suggested supervision of the State is to reduce the prese n t revenues of the t hree companies to a third or fourth of what they now are it would puzzle the Ti mes to explain. If " the same rule by which th e e ffi c i ency of the Post-office has been increased by a l oss o f f our-f i fths of what might have been realised, is to be applied to the ma nagement of railway companies seeking powers to prevent further deterioration in the value of their property, it follows that the present net profits are considered to be three or four times the amount of what they will hereafter realise. To expect that by reducing railway fares in the same proportion, or in anything like the proportion, that the rate of postage has been decreased, one-half of the present dividends of the London and North-W' -stern, the Great Western, and South-Western Companies could be realised, would be speculating upon an impossibility. If the shareholders of the Londen and North- Western, Great Western, and South-Western are to have a permissive Act granted them on such conditions as are suggested by the Times, we are quite certain the discussion upon the propriety of making use of it will be as short as the decision against its adoption vi ill be decided and unanimous. We have had too much legislative interferenea with railway property already. CLIHAP FOOD.—At a meeting of the Academie des Sciences, on the 16th ultimo, a paper was read by Payne, on the part of the author, M. Flandin, who cx hibited some specimens of horse chestnuts fecula, en. tirely deprived of bitterness, and other specimens of bread and biscuits prepared r•ith one part of this fecula and three parts of wheat flour. The author declares that a horse chestnut is worth as much as a potato, and that two trees bearing this fruit at the door of every cottage in the country are equivalent to several acres o f p ,tnto fields, the more so, as the horse chestnut almost always yields a good crop and requires hardly any cue. IRE MUT 0_ • The initiatory proceedings upon the writ of error ,in the case of Mr. Smith O'Brien will be raised be fore the Judges on Wednesday, the 15th instant. It is calculated that the argument will not occupy the Court beyond the second day. The decision of their Lordships, whatever it may be, will apply equally to all the prisoners capitally convicted at the Special Commission in Clonmell. Alluding to a report thrt the 13th had been the day fxed for hearing the argu ments, the Freeman's Journ,7 says,--- " This is far from bc,ihg .:cot. Our reasons for believing this opinion are • led en the practice of the Queen's Bench relative . grits of error, w hich may render an argument d • ; the present term riot altogether probable.

Paper books, contain ing an abstract of the entire proctecti:gs from the ar raignment of Smith O'Brien down to the errors assigned, must be made out for the information and guidance of the judges, and these helps to judicial knowledge must, by the rules of the Queen's B,nula, be delivered to their Lordships four clear days at letht before the bearing tf the cause. So our readers well perceive that a consider able interval must take place before the writ can be ar gued, and, a _fortiori, before it can be finally deter mined. The law's delay' will interfere several stages before these complicated preliminary proceedings can end in solemn argument. In calculating the number of days which the practice of the Court interposes before the last stage is reached, we are inclined to believe that the matter must stand over until the Hilary Term. When the argument takes place, we have good reason to believe that the case on the part of Smith O'Brien will be argued by Mr. Napier, Q.C., and Mr. Francis Fitzgerald." - LIBERATION OF STATE PRISONERS. The Lords Justices held a meeting of the Privy Council last Saturday, when leave was granted to take bail for the appearance of the following political prisoners, who are confined in Dublin and elsewhere for treasonable practices, via.:— Eugene O'Reilly, Jeans M•lienna, John De Courcy Young, John Russell, James Russell Patrick C orvan , James O'Do nne ll, L awrence Gahaghaii, Patrick Conway, George Whelan, Nicholas Nagle, Michael Doherty Robert Cave, Ri c h ar d D alton, Edward Egan, Joi; Hickey, Patrick Dunne, Thomas Hennessey, Anthony O'Ryan, Thomas Parker O'Flanagan, ard Robert Lambkin. On Saturday morning an order was received at the county gaol (Limerick) fur the discharge of Mr. Richard Dalton, of Tipperary, one of the political offenders, on finding bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 50Z each. An order is also expected to admit to bail Mr. Thomas M‘Namara, solicitor, of Rathkeale, and Mr. William Hartnett, of Newcastle. The other political offenders remaining in custody are Mr. Richard O'Shaughnessy, of Rathkeale, grocer, and Michael O'Neil, stonemason. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. The Limerick Chronicle has the following : " On Wednesday e‘ening, between seven and eight o'clock, the inhabitants of St. Mary's parish were alarmed by a cry that a man named Purcell had been murdered in the public streets, close to the Castle bar racks. On inquiry it was ascertained that the rumour was not far from the truth, for cn arrival at the scene a man was found lying in the ce to of the road weltering in blood. The police from ~,-g e's-quay station soon arrived, and were informed tl. Lhe injured victim had been attacked by three men fi '2oonah, named Hayes, who waylaid him on his ref llome, knocked the un offending man down, stabbe n with a knife in the chest, kicked him in the boo .nd almost severed the nose from his face! In this tie • able state the sufferer, James Purcell, aged 66, war ”ve3ed to Barrington's Hospital, where he received .pt medical aid at the hands of Dr. Gelston, who 4 sins but little hope of his recovery. The rerpetratt the brutal deed, Juhn, Pat, and Michael Hayes,:wer after arrested by the police, and, having been broP , t , efore the magistrates at the Town-hall on Thurad Were committed to the city gaol." THE FUGITIV i; LEADERS. The following incidents in connexion with the escape of Messrs. Stephens an,. Doheny are furnished by the Limerick Examiner : " When Mr. Stephens had taken his exit from the col lies, he directed his wandering footsteps to Tipperary, sufferinc , from a wound he 11,,1 received in hi s si d e. H o reached Tipperary early in tht• night, and, having dis guised himself, walked up and down the streets, think ing to meet with some kind tritthl who might assist him in his misfortunes. Ile met rith some. He called at the house of a respectable family in Tipperary, but they, of course, received him coldly, aware of the penalty of the law. Poor Stephens, however, made the best of his way out of town, accompanied by friends, who shared his dangers and misfortunes for the night. They slept with hire in a stack of hay. Next morning he disguised himself as a poor scholar, and made for the Cummeragh mountain, where, peradventure, he met his old friend Mr. Dohtny, vaio had assumed the character of a schoolmaster. Both school masters' lived in tLe Commerugh mountains for some weeks, baffling the police. It is stated that, a policeman once gave Mr. Stephens a few pence, such was his forlorn appearance, bring, of course, quite igno rant of his identity. The track of the fugitives was at last, however, found, and immediate separation was deemed the only alternative to secure the safety of both. They parted, Mr. Doheny for Cork, and Mr. Stephens for Waterford. The history of Mr. Doheny's escape to Paris has already been told—that of Mr. Stephens re mains to be narrated. It is said that he disguised him self in the costume of a woman (he had a feminine ap pearance), and, having lingered away some days in Waterford, was met at last by some friend, who gave him money to travel to England or to France. With great courage and cleverness he crossed the Channel, leaving his enemies behind ; and having travelled by railway to Dover took a passage ticket for Boulogne. There he was detained a prisoner . by the English au thorities in France, and was subsequently liberated by order of the Republic. It is said that he instituted an action against the English authorities for false imprison ment, and received 501. to compromise the proceedings. The end of all poor Stephens's misfortunes and dangers was his arrival in Paris, where he is now in the National Guards, in the rank of an officer." GEMS FROM THE " HUE AND CRY." Maria Boyle, who stole 13s. from Louisa Byrne, of Bride -street, is described as wearing a gown "all blue with a white stripe."

THE MEETING OF LIBERAL ELECTORS AT WAKE FIELD.—A meeting was h e ld on F r id ay l ast. T he fol lowing is a summary of wh a t occurre d : —Th e f i rst resolution, moved by the Mayor of Bradford, se conded by Mr. Solly, of Sheffield, was adopted by the meeting. The other two resolutions were also adopted, the second being moved by the Mayor of Wakefield, and seconded by Mr. T. Todd, of Dewsbury. The third resolution was moved by Mr. E. Baines, of Leeds, and seconded by Mr. F. Crossley, of Halifax. Some gentlemen present who were favourable to Air. Fitz william's claims then attempted a compromise, but all their proposals to that end were ee i ;atived, and a reso lution was passed expressing the dissatisfaction of the meeting with the address which Mr. Fi;zwilliam had i-sued. Finally a resolution was' asset!, constitut ing the delegates pre sent a committee, in order to take the opinions of the LiLeral voters for the riding, in their respective districts, as to the propriety of bringing out another candidate in opposition to Mr. Fitzwilliam. The meeting broke up about five o'clock, having lasted nearly four hours and a half. HERRING TRADE.—WICK, OCT. 26.—Our local market exhibits no symptoms of reanimation, as there are no inquiries making on the part of purchasers, nor are shipments being made on the same extensive scale as some weeks ago. Four vessels are loading for various Irish ports and one for the Baltic. Advices have this week been received from Stettin. They are written in rather a desponding tone, from the prospects of the country. Cholera is spreading rapidly, and is fatal, and civil war is not less injurious to the interests of commerce. Account sales are pretty favourable, but a decline in prices is looked for. From Irish ports we learn that a partial fall in prices has taken i•Lace. The great bulk of our coopers are now out of work. This remark , we are sorry to say, refers to a large proportion of this impor tant and ill-remunerated class on the whole north-east coast.—lnverness Courier. IL4A 7 N -1 1 - DUBLIN', MONDAY.

Str,—After a caroftil examlnati ‘n of your New Gas Burners, which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known, I am compelled to acknowledge that your recent di'covery is superior to all others in economy, and in the purity of the flame produced by it. By the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners, you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air, both in quantity and position ; thus, the flame is, at all times, steady and intensely luminous ; while even under suddenly increased pres sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given off. I remain, Sir, yours faithfully, JOHN RYAN, M.D., LL.D., Professor of Chemistry. Mr. Richard Clark, Strand.
