The Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company have the satisfaction to state to their shareholders and the public, that in reference to the right and title of territory throu,gh which the road is to run, and of which they never had and never could have the slightest doubt, a tile of the Official Gazette of New Granada, extending from the Ist of January to the 3d of August last, has c nne to this country by the last West Indian Mail (these Gazettes rsay be seen at Lloyd's Mer chants' Room), which sets the disputed point completely at rest. These Gazettes, throughout the period mentioned, abound with official orders and decrees, civil, military, financial, and commercial, in reference to that portion of New Granada is which the Veraguas, Chiriqui. and Rocas del Toro are situated. In these we find returns of all descriptions : local and customs revenues and expenditure, or dered by the Supreme Government, and furnished by the local au thorities and proper officers of these provinces and districts, advert ing to many years that are past. Especially we find the returns from the Custom-house of Bocas del Toro (see Gazette, July 17th) for 1840-1841, the year wherein the Costa Rica advocates have told us that the New Granadian Government had no establishments or authority of any kind there. But still more decisive are the contents of the Gazette of April 6th, which in a Supplement gives us the Official Census of the Popu lation of the Republic of New Granada for 1851. It is dated Bogota, January 20th, 1852, In this census, which shows the total popula tion to be 2,243,733, we find discriminated every province, canton, district, parish, and hamlet, with the populations of each, the number of electors, and the number and the names of the Senators and Re presentatives appropriated for each Province, and now representing • these in the Legislature assembled at, and which holds its sittings in Bogota. From this curious and important document the Ditectors place before their Shareholders and the public the following account of thQpopulation, &c., of Veraguas and of the Province of Chiriqui, foimerly part of Veraguas, and the western portion thereof _ Population.

The Gazette of January 3d contains, moreover, an official and important Decree from the Supreme Government regarding Grants and Privileges to Emigrants settling in the Province of Cniriqui and Bocas del Toro. To add one word more on the subject would be to insult common sense and the understanding of the public. By order of the Court of Directors, JAMES MACQUEEN, Secretary. London, September 29, 1852.

To public opinion, as an impartial judge, E. MOSES and SON have always appealed, and have received its caresses. They again invite public inspection to a magnificent stock of Overcoats, Paletots, and new designs in every description of Dress for Autumn and Winter. E. MOSES and SON can justly calculate on the manner in which their splendid preparations for the ensuing seas , n will be regarded by public opinion ; and they have the greatest satisfaction in stating that their superlative stock of new materials, and the triumphant display of talent in the cut and workmanship of every article of Dress, and the great reduction in price, will still further confirm them in favour and public opinion. The inimitable style of Sporting Dress is that of E. NOSES and SON. The unrivalled Designs for Juvenile Clothing are those of E. MOSES and SON. . EMIGRANTS.—The change in the season requires a change in the management of your outfit ; the articles suitable for s our pas sage a few months back will not be so now; and possibly inex perienced Outfitters and minor houses may conceal from you this fact. Application to E. MOSES and SON secures to you everything appropriate for your jourmy and your future occupation—not only better in quality and more suitable for your purposes, but at con siderably lower charges than at any other house in the world. Your voyage may be rendered comfortable by procuring the warm and substantial Clothing, hosiery, Ste., &c., prepared with the most exact acquaintance with the passage at this time of the year. Your convenience is every way considered by E. MOSES and SON, and a separate department is kept for Outfitting.

MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being conflated with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET. A special meeting of this company was held yea terday at the London Tavern to consider the pro priety of confirming the forfeiture of certain shares in the Bury St. Eimund's Extension line, and autho rizing them to be sold or otherwise disposed of; Mr. C. Fine in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors had been obliged to call the proprietors together to confirm the forfeiture of certain shares. The shares were held by persons who had every opportunity given them of paying the call made in December 1851, and he believed that two notices since that period had been issued to the shareholders in arrear, and the direc tors had no alternative but to declare the shares for feited. Mr. BROWNE, the secretary, read the resolution confirming the forfeiture of certain shares, which were specified, and authorizing the directors to sell or otherwise dispose of them, in such way and at such times as they may deem expedient. Mr. FRITLI wished to know how many shares were forfeited, and the amount of them. The CiIAIRMAN said the number of shares for feited was between 5.000 and 6,000. Some of the shares had 3/. paid on them, and others had nothing paid, having, it appeared, .been subscribed for no minally. A PROMETOR wished to know whether the hol ders could not be proceeded against for the recovery of the calls due. The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors had done the best they could to cover th e arrears, and they had no doubt they would be able to dispose. of the whole of them at par. The resolution confirming the forfeiture of the shares was then carried unanimously, as was also one forfeiting and merging certain shares in the capital of the corepany. In reply to a question, it was stated that there were 27,000, shares in the company, and that the company had power to issue other shares, in lieu of the merged shares, at par. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. WATERFORD AND TRAMORE.—It appears that the works on this line are progressing under Mr. Dargan, the contractor, and that he has engaged to open it for traffic on the Ist of May, 1850. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD.—The terms upon which the Chester and Birkenhead line is—Parliament assenting thereto—to pass into the possession of the London and North-Western Company have been finally set tled.

The mill was working double shifts, and at six o'clock on Tuesday morning the engine was stopped to allow the lire to be cleared. The firem an , James Robinson, had cleared out the " scarles," and the miller was just about setting the engine away again, when the boiler exploded with great violence. The boiler-house, warehouse, and engine-house are totally destroyed; the fire man and one-half of the boiler were thrown over a hedge into an adjjoi❑ing meadow, and three otter men were more or less injured. The fireman was much scalded, and, was removed to Newcastle infirmary, wbere he lies in a precari ous state, and the destruction of property is considerable.

Without pretending to f Sir Henry Bulwer's late excursion season when nobody who can help that city, and even the Pope retires tc we suspect that the account of this has appeared in some foreign journals of the truth, and that an attempt has order of the British Government, to 35 with the Roinish See on a be i attempt in which even Sir Ho well-known abilities have not been :. tight to have would only regard thi s conc ili atory step been foreseen that the Calomel, of the Vatican as a sign of weakness or a recantatio n o f those sentiments which strongly animate the grea t majority of the British nation. It is strange that withi n two years of the appearance of the Papal bull dividing England into new dioceses by foreign authority, and appointing the delegates of a foreign pow er to the government of these ecclesiastical di v i s i ons, an English Minister should have made his app earance at Rome unsolicited, uninvited, and with no previous explanation or with draWill of a measure which had been universally re garded and denounced in this country as an outrage on the Sovereign and the nation Which that Min i ster yepeesents. Whet cen be thou g h t by the Cardinal a: Secretary of Stafe of the re e l e.sposition of the British Government towards te e 1'e , ,... a . I see, when he finds that for the first time s ince the mission of Lord Castlem a i ne un d er J ames 11, he has a British Envoy Plenip o t en ti ary to a neighbour ing Court waiting for an audienc e i n hi s ante chamber ? Instead of the dignified coolness and unbending demeanour w hi c h th e late acts of the Papal Government t owar d s this country ought to have imposed on our Ministers, they aear in an pp attitude which the arrogance o f Rome will readily convert into that of a cour ti er An d a suppliant. The Court of Rome resembl es nothng so much as one of those Asiatic durbars with whhh we are accustomed to deal in a very different mmner in possessions. It i s i n fl a t e d w i t h an extravagant con ception of its own di gn ity, surroun d ed by monuments of former grande ur , an d d ece i ve d b y its own impene trable ignorance. Whil e it owes its our Eastern miserable and dependent existence to the presence of a foreign army, it expects all mankind to approach the e seat of its mysterious power in a p os t ure of humility ; and it mistakes the common language of courtesy and re spect for an expression of awe and obedience. The only art practised in it with success is that of inces sant intrigue; the only power before which it quails is that of vi gorous action, stern independence, and - a manly contempt o f it s own art fees; and if th e Mi nister of a Protestant Crown e to appear in Rome at all, we are satisfied that be wil hardly obtain the re cognition of his just rights unese he be instructed to speak in th e t one o f a Government prepa red to enforce them. The time i s , as we well remember, not very far distant when we saw reason to hope, i n common with more conciliatory po li cy towards the the Ministers a n d L eg i s l ature of this country, that a Romish See would not be without a beneficial effect on our rela tions with the Papal States, sod with the Roman Catholic subjects of the Crown. We still think that if at that tim e — name l y, in 1846 and 1847—this policy had b een judiciously sited upon, and if the Diplomatic R e l at i ons B ill hid not been rendered abortive by L or d E g li ntou ' s Absurd and mischievous amendment, it would have been possible to avoid much of the evil which has since occurred. The policy of the British Government towards the Irish people, and in the matter of Irish education, would have been less misrepresented ; the influence of fanatics and rebels world not have been left uncontroverted ; Lord Minto's roving mission would not have been associated with the revolutionary outbreak that fol lowed it; and the Pope would have been told at a proper time that Dr. Wiseman and John of Tram were blowing the embers of a deadly quarrel to gratify their passions and their ambition at the cost of religion and tolerance. Such hopes might be entertained—such results might perhaps have been secured at the commencement of the reign of Pius IX., or at least it seemed to be so ; but, in com mon with many other aspirations of that sanguine period, they have now utterly vanished. In place of a wise and tolerant Pontiff, we have to deal with a bigot, bewildered by the dangers he has encountered, and circumscribed by the humiliating position in which he is placed. We find at Rome a Government not only not prepared to meet us half way in the measures which a more enlightened and liberal policy would suggest, but closely allied to the most arbi trary Powers, favouring the most odious forms of su perstition, encouraging the revival of persecution itself, and raising its pretensions to spiritual omnipo tence in proportion to the depth of its temporal abasement. From such a Power we are satisfied that nothing is to be obtained for the cause of justice, freedom, or humanity ; and we serve those sacred objects far more by standing aloof alto gether in the light of our independence than by attempting to throw a beam across that abyss of oppression and corraption. It is not the fault of Protestant Powers, or of the policy of any Protes tant State, if those pacific and harmonious rela tions which seemed at one time possible between the two great divisions of the Christian Church have given way t o more unfriendly and acrimonious sentiments. But in every part of Europe Catholics , have turned th e lib er t y th ey enjoyed into a weapon of offence aga i nst t h e i r neighbours and of attack on the civil p ower to w hi c h they owe d allegiance. In every part of E u r o p e p re t ensions have b een rev i ve d on the part o f t h e R om i s h C hurch which were sup . posed to h ave b een fi na ll y annihilated two cen t ur i es ago; and, although these ultramontane principles have manifested themselve s in Ireland, and even in England, in the forms which the free institutions of this country t o lerate—th at i s, with more uncon t ro ll e d violence th an elsewhere—yet the same movement may be traced in every part o f th e world w ith the same revolting consequences. T o treat w i t h Rome under such circumsrances and conditions is what she will regard as ho mage to the as repudiate are' deny. If we have reason t o com plain of h er i n t er ference with the political and social state of th e Queen's dominio ns by the agencyo ce n n ly dan to u pay of her inde fatigable priesthood, it is to our own our own law's, to our power, and to our f a ith th a t we must alone look f or redress. Against our church, our liberties, an d our i n d e p en dence the Church of Rome will p ro b a bl y not ce ase to do its worst, as it has done in former ages, institutions, to with unremit ting hostility, though, th ank God! w ith i n diff eren t success, But to tre a t w i th such a powe r a t thi s ve ry time, when she has thrown aside disguise and openly preaches treason under every f o rm, setting up the spurioas allegianc e o f the conscience to her mandates against the allegiance due to the law and to public duty, i s a blunder and a weakness which we should hardly have supposed that even Lord Derby's Foreign Secretary would have committed. The result of such a mission appears to have been commensurate to the sagacity of the conception. A few civil speeches wore exchanged between Sir Henry Bulwer and Car dinal Antonelli, a n d the British Envoy probably brought away with hi m nothing but the conviction that in the present state of the Papal Government it is idle to sacrifice the dignity of this country by an attempt to c onc ili ate a Power irreconcileably hostile to our dearest rights and our most sacred institutions. It would have been more creditable to the British Government if no such overture had been made. HE RALD.—There are some occasions when a retreat is best effected in silence, and in the dead of night. There are others, however, in which the general prefers to cover a retrograde movement by a great show of fight. Trumpets are sounded, drums heat to arms, and the troops march hither and thither; but just w h en you ex p e ct that the battle is about to begin, you discover t h a t th e whole was a f e i n t, a n d that the bi r d i s fl o wn. The only Whig journal that is now left, of all the daily press, conceived it to be a plain duty t o ma ke the best it could of Lord John Russell's l a t e di s play at Perth. But we humbly sug gest th a t it was a great mistake to turn the public attention on the weakest point of the whole case— namely, what is described as Lord John Russell's courage. For if ever there was an instance in which " the better part of valour" was declared to be " dis cretion" it is this. The meeting of Parliament is now rapidly drawing near, and the leader of the Opposition appears at a public dinner, and delivers himself of a great speech. This is the usual plan when a battle is a pproaching. We can all remember the proceed ings of this kind which took place just before the meeting of Sir R. Peel's House of Commons in 1835, and how Lord John Russell then reviewed his troops, and declared the plan of the compaign. Mr. Roebuck has already given us some notice before hand. He told us at Sheffield in July, that within a week after the meeting of Parliament the Ministry would be expelled by a vote of want of confidence. We only wanted, now, to hear the same prediction repeated by Lord John Russell, and we should have had, in a moment, the whole Am of the tilikupaigu before us. But Lord John Russell does not repeat it. Nay, he rather negatives the whole proposal. And his own journalist makes no secret of the reason why. It is frankly confessed that "any such opposition as was waged against Sir Robert Peel in 1835," " would involve a certainty of failure." And the reason assigned is, "the rivalries of various Liberal leaders." Now this is a signal confession of failure. In 1835 Lord John could unite " the Liberal party," and could dislodge even the great Sir Robert Peel. In 1852 Lord John, it is confessed, cannot dislodge even "the incapables who infest Downing-street," under Lord Derby ; and this, because " the Liberal party" will no longer unite under his banner. A plainer confession of failure in a Prime Minister could hardly be made. And what, then, is the re sult ? What is the valorous resolve of this (confess edly) disunited "Liberal party ?" It is called " the wiser course—the course reccmmended by Lord J. Russell at Perth—the course of giving Mr. Disraeli rope enough, and trusting that the discussion of his measures will allow every Opposition chief abundant opportunity of evincing his own claims." This is capital. And yet we cannot help thinking that Shaks pere has phrased it better. In his racy style it runs thus : " Why, since he has some evil practices, if thou couldst find them out, thou hadst better let him con tinue, till thou discoverest what they are." " There ! thou naughty varlet, thou hearest what is come upon thee ! Thou art to continue ! thou naughty varlet, thou art to continue!" So much for the general prospects of the session. The Peelite organ of yesterday entirely agrees with the Whig journal, that the present Ministry must be left where it is, for the best of all possible reasons—that it cannot be turned out. We happen also to know, that two well-known Whig Baronets, representing metropolitan constituencies, have expressed the same conviction within the last two or three days. On a single point, however, mischief is threatened. An idea is openly mooted, of a revival of " the Lichfield House compact." The first leader in the Whig jour nal of last evening commenced with these ominous words—" Don't be so sure that you have heard the last of the appropriation clause." And then follows this candid confession of the lengths to which the political morality of Whigs and Liberals may be stretched : "It is not likely that more than an insignificant mi nority could be mustered in favour of even the most modest application of national property for the purposes of the Roman priesthood; and it is quite certain that no Minister in his senses would throw such a firebrand among the constituencies. But we cannot doubt that a large number of Liberals will willingly co-operate in any attack upon the Irish Church, on the speculation— whatever we may think of its prudence—that their sub sequent defection will be sufficient to arrest the move ment before it passes from the stage of demolition to that of r econstruction." In a word, —in order to annoy and perhaps defeat the Ministry,—a large number of Whigs, Radicals, and Peelites would unite,—so says the Whig journalist, —with the Irish Brigade in an attack on the Irish Church. And they would do this, it is confessed, without meaning to carry the measure which they would thus support. They would do it on " the speculation, that their subsequent defection would suffice to arrest the movement.' We are not alarmed at such threats as these ; nor do we at all mean that a ny serious consequences would follow from such a manceuvre. But while we feel no fear, we may not ards_th a e t first, the less freely advert to the well-known fact, that it was way—by arr h e e s l t p a in ft g erw a movement that F renc h Liberals in 1789, and various other Li be ra ls in other places , br ou g ht on results of a kind which they were the first t o lament, when it was too late to undo them. We have already CHRONICE.—y called attention justw le which h in they this meant to Lord Hardinge's more eminent qualifications for the distinguished and highly re s p onsible p os t of Commander-in-Chief. His well-won honours in the field, his services in India as well as in Europe, his tried abilities as an administrator, and, above all, the proud place which he held in the affection and esteem of the Duke of Wellington, combine to constitute a claim which it was impossible to deny. But there are less obvious c onsiderations which render his appointment peculiarly judicious, or singularly fortu nate, at the present period. We allude to the imper fect state of our national defences, and to the growirg spirit of hostility which " looms" in the distance, in the direction of our nearest and most formidable neighbour. The founders and oracles of the Universal Peace Association may be right when they point to the commercial ties which now connect the lending com munities of both hemispheres, as imposing a strong curb on the ambition of rulers and on the restlessness of glory-loving nations. No doubt, the consciousness of the serious losses to be incurred, and of the galling privations to be endured, by the most indus trious portion of the people which rashly provokes or is suddenly hurried into war, will form a strong check on the most bellicose rulers, wherever reason and justice can make themselves heard, or wherever some representative form of government faithfully reflects the intelligence and well-understood interests of the country. In France, for example, any vigilant observer may have remarked from time to time, idu ring the past twenty years, an occasional outburst of the same feeling of towards England, to which two or three of the leading Paris journals have given renewed and bitter expression within the last fort night. But whilst the Chamber of Deputies or the National Assembly was in existence, and in the enjoyment of its lawful privileges, we felt safe; be cause we knew that the whole influence of the trad ing classes would be thrown into the scale of good sense and humanity, and because the limited powers and strict responsibility of the Executive offered insuperable obstacles to a sudden disruption of amicable relations, with the view to a coup de main. The important change which has taken place in this respect appears to have altogether escaped the notice of those members of the British Legislature, who, " greatly daring," dined at the Elysee, and danced at the Tuileries, to celebrate the Prince Pre sident's temporary triumph over the institutions which he had solemnly sworn to maintain. It has obviously never occurred to them that those noisy and disorderly sittings of the National Assembly which are foolishly cited as decisive against Parlia mentary Government, wereeiot only the safety-valves of French turbulence, but the guarantees of Euro pean tranquillity. Threats, mutterings, and other indications of peril, on which we laid little stress so long as France enjoyed a constitution, have pos sessed far more significance since her army, her fleet, and her revenues have been placed at the disposal of one man, who may at no very distant period conceive an English raid or invasion to be the best mode of confirming and consolidating his authority. It is notorious that the expediency of inaugu rating the new Empire by a military exploit of more than ordinary daring is the constant topic of dis cussion amongst Louis Napoleon's partisans, and that London, with its untold treasures in bullion and merchandise, or one of our most valuable naval arsenals, is familiarly proposed as the ready and appropriate mark and reward of Gallic valour and vindictiveness. All the workmen that can he use fully congregated have been set to work, night and day, to complete the railway at Cherbourg; and the President will soon be able, at a few hours' notice, to embark a number of troops sufficient, if once landed on the coast of Devonshire, Hampshire, or Sussex, to inflict a vast amount of injury, if not exactly to imperil our national existence. More over, it is confidently believed, in quarters not likely to be misinformed on such a subject, that the French navy list has been purposely falsified, so as would o t notpersonally be hazarded, zr d i e l l d - i e s p x o e s e e p d t to render it a most inadequate index to the actual maritime force available on a sudden emergency. Let us not be misunderstood. It may he probabl e h Nap u o s leon is n t towards the English people, and that an unpro voakted Louis attack on as the last throw of the dice. Nor have - we the slightest doubt that any expedition which he could lead or direct against the Briti s h i s l es would meet with the most signal discomfiture, and would • end by precipitating his f a ll. B u t the consequences,simply to a commercial country lik e England,fan even o unsuccessful attempt at in vas i on, would _ be gravely, i f not permanently, injurious. The French boaster who recently spoke of a new war -steamer as an arch of a projected bridge over the Channel, forgot that, for every ten steamers which could be collected at Cherbourg, twenty might easily he concentrated at Plymouth or S pithead, and that to be independent of the winds is at least as great an advantage to a watching squadron as to an attacking one. Nothing short of the grossest and most criminal neglect on the part of the British Government for the time being, could give the semblance of feasibility to a scheme of invasion on a large scale. But there exists a general, and, we fear, a well-founded suspicion, that we are by no means so secure as we might and ought to be against that description of warfare which was espe cially recommended by the Prince de Joinville in his famous pamphlet. Many worthy people, whom it would be inaccurate to class with " old women," are haunted by visions of a French Paul Jones oft Brigh ton, Weymouth, or Torquay ; and they already see, in their mind's eye, a compact body of ten or fifteen thousand French troops quietly landed somewhere on 4. the west or south-wetht coast, and advancing into the [PRICE SD. . heart of the country—destroying, burning, and levy ing contributions on the way. Admitting such fears to be exaggerated, it is not the less true that they derive strength from the incomplete state of our naval and military preparations; and the rank and influence of a nation are invariably lowered and impaired by the conscio usness of its liability to i nsu l t. I t is notorious that the numerical inferiority of our land a rmaments and the deserted condition of our ports, in December and January last, had a Food deal to do with the unworthy tone in which Lord J o h n R ussell and his colleagues defended Louis Napoleon against the well-founded censures of the press. It is because Lord Hardinge possesses re markable qualification s for preventing the recurrence of such a state of things, so far as the Horse Guards are concerned, that we rejoice at his appointment. No mere soldier would be equal to the task, for within living memory the art of war has been revolutionised by scientific invention. But the new Commander-in- Chief is very far indeed from being a mere soldier. He has filled a variety of civil offices with high credit. He has been successively Secretary for Ireland, Secretary at War, Governor-General of India, and Master- General of the Ordnance. He was also, as a correspondent has reminded us, specially charged with the defence of Ireland in the memorable spring of 1848 —so that, in one capacity or another, he has had the benefit of a larg er amount of instructive and available experience than perhaps ever fell to the lot of any one of his predecessors, with the single exception of the illustrious captain whom he immediately succeeds. No man living is more impressed with the paramou nt importance of placing th e British army i n a condition to uphold its well-earned reputation under all imaginable circ umstance s , wh e th er as r egards arms, equipment, discipline, nu mbers, or general efficiency ; and we hope that no 111-timed diffidence, nor any un due wish to save the Premier frotrz_ernbarrussinotP, to spare the Chancellor of the E xchequer ' s surplus, will prevent Lord Hardinge from d o in g all that in him lies to carry out his carefully matured schemes of military improvement. It were a lib e l on the nation to suppose that, becauseit very properly i ns i sts on having money's worth for its money, it would shrink from any amount of strictly needful expen diture, when its honour or its safetyis at stake ; an d if mistaken notions of economy him left our national defences disgracefully incomplete, this is mainly owing to short-sighted or selfish politicians who have been over-anxious to curry popular favour. muld proceed fr( alteratioa of the into a stumbling- with some surpris to ,high Protesto ive authorised a ml astrued by. the I be in the secret o 1 to jtou c ., 4t a it approaches ti o the Aibm mission which h 5 is not far wide 3 been made, by ( place our relatioi e t ter footi ng —an enrY 13 wer's iuecessful.

The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances ; for ,ranting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi• ties ; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin cipal stations on the Overland routes to India, and at the different establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts sad credits ; and for all other legitmate banking business. The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium of deposits and investment for the Indian community, whilst the sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the hank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and profitable return upon the capital invested, and will, it is confidently expected, justify the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. The great success which has attended the operations of the exist ing t anteing establishments in this country, connected with the East Indies and of the well-conducted 1 cal banks in the different Pre ,ideiaelec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital in atmilar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways, has led to the formation of the Bank of India. The extensio❑ of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and military establishments of India, and the development of the sources of wealth of that country which must arise from its improved internal communication by the railways projected and now in progress there, will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the Bank at its different branches. The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter course now existing between these two countries. The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be further increased by the new lines of railway now in progress on the conti nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies already in operation. Arrangements are in progress to secure to this Company the co operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of India, which will extend the operations of the Bank amongst that class of the Indian community. Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the capital of the Company to 2,000,0001. sterling, in which event the new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution amongst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered likely to extend the business of the Bank. The arrangements for the constitution of this Company are now nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board of I)irectors, will be pablisb.ed in a few days.

NAVAL IN TELLIGE NCE. Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., has been officially appointed Superintendent of her Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth, vice Rear-Admiral Prescott, C.B. The latter gallant admiral strikes his flag this evening at sunset, and the former hoists his flag (blue at the mizen) to-morrow morning. As we have stated, Paymaster Ince, who served as secretary to Rear-Admiral Fanshawe when Comman• der-in-Chief on the coast of Africa, will occupy the same office at Portsmouth Dockyard. In announcing the promotion of Captain Tarleton, of the Fox, 42, at Rangoon, yesterday, the services of Commander Tattnall were appended, instead of those of Captain Tarleton. The latter gallant officer pasaed his examination in 1830; obtained his first com mission Sept. 22, 1835 ; and was subsequently ap pointed, Feb. 2, 1836, as supernumerary lieutenant, to the Caledonian, 120, flagship of Sir Josias Rowley, in the Mediterranean ; April 1, follow ing, to the Favourite, 18, Captain George Rodney Mundy, on the same station ; April 19, 1837, to the Riogdove, 16, Captains Horatio Stopford Nixon and Hon.

George Robert Lambert, in which ship he again sailed for the North America and West India sta- tion. He attained his present rank Nov. 9, 1846 ; and since Nov. 23, 1848, has been employed as second captain in the Vengeance, 84; and in the Fox, 42. — Herald. It was Commander John Nepean, on the reserved half-pay list, who died last week. He entered the navy March 3, 1798, as first-class volunteer on board the Caton. He was promoted to the rank of lieu tenant September 25, 1806, and next in succession appointed to the Raven sloop, Captain James Grant; Bellerophon, 74; Humber; Imperieuse, 38; and in 1811, to the regulating service, which he left in 1814. While belonging to the Raven he was wounded in her boats in an attack upon a privateer, and when in the Imperieuse, 1809, be assisted at the destruction of a fort in the river Scrieldt, took part in the operations connected with the siege of Flushing, and was a second time wounded in an affair with five Dutch schuyts near South Bevelend. His last appointments were—April 26, 1823, to the Water Guard, in which service he continued, we believe, but a short period; Oct. 28, 1841, to the post (which he retained until the close of 1843) of Admiralty agent on board a contract mail steam vessel; and Jan. 4 and May 22, 1845, to the San Josef, 110, and Caledonia, 120, both commanded by Captain Manley Hall Dixon, at Devonport. Niger screw-steam sloop, Commander Heath, is nearly completed and ready for sea. She went along side Portsmouth yard yesterday, got up steam to try her engines. Philomel, 8, has bad her defects made good at Devonport, and she is now ready for commission. She was surveyed by Commodore Seymour on Monday previous to her being reported to their Lordships. Rolla, 6, apprentices tender, Lieutenant Com mander Fenwick, weighed from Spithead, and pro ceeded outside the Nab for exercise yesterday. The compasses of the Simoom screw troop ship, Captain Kingcome, have been again adjusted at the moorings off the King's-stairs, Portsmouth. Sinbad lighter sailed from Portsmouth yesterday, with stores for the eastern yards. MALTA, SEPT. 22.—The English fleet, when last heard of, was off Syra. The Arethusa frigate from Lisbon, arrived in port on the 16th inst. at half-past three A.M. At that early hour she saluted the Admiral, an act which has called forth much reprehension, and has caused her to be sent off to join the fleet. At eight she saluted again, but with fewer guns than Admiral Harvey was entitled to. Misfortune still clings to the Fury. We have just heard of an accident, but not the full extent of it. It would seem that, on the 10th, being in the vicinity of Sapienza, she ran into the Austrian ship Padre Aim. belli, from Marianopoli to Cork or Falmouth, with grain. The accident took place at a quarter past one ; the weather was calm and the wind light. Both vessels showed lights. The captain of the Padre Mimbelli says the Fury has received much damage. His own vessel is very much injured. News of the loss of the 'Maltese brig Zeitun, Azzopardi master, on the Rabbit Island near Tenedos, has reached this; crew saved. She was on her pas sage to the Danube, with a cargo of m i ners ] sa lt from Girgenti. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 29.—The Terrible, 21, Capt. James Hype, sailed yesterday for Wool W ieb, to be paid off. The Sidon, 22, advanced steam• frigate, was taken out of harbour yesterday, for a trial at Stokes Bay, by Captain W. H. Hende r son , -' Her engines C.B , of the Blenheim. worked w ell , an she r eturned' to ordi nary after the trial. The Furious, 16, steam-frigate, has been put out of commission, and Lieut. Cunningham and his men have returned to the Blenheim. The Count and Countess Bernstorff visited this dockyard to-day, over which they were escorted by Flag-Lieutenant Pasley.. They also visited the Vic tory, the Commander -in-Chiefs barge being placed at their service to visit the fisg-ship. The Count,who is a distinguishe d Prussian diplomatist, has been Am bassador from the Court of Prussia to that of Austria and Bavaria. Having inspected the chief objects of interest at the port they returned to town by the Brighton Railway in the afternoon. While on board the Victory the Prussian flag was hoisted at the fore and saluted with 15 guns. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 29.—Yesterday morning, at half-past 2 o'clock, as two men were returning from fishing, they discovered fire on board the Government lighter Camel, then moored to a buoy off the Devon port Dockyard, in Ilamoaze. They immediately hailed the watch on board the sheer hulk, who sig nalised the fact, when Commodore Superintendent Seymour, Mr. Mills, master-attendant, and Lieu tenant Williams, the chief of police, were soon in at tendance, and the hose from the jetty were conveyed to the lighter. Boats from the ships in commission arrived shortly after, and towed the Camel to the west mud, when the fire was entirely extinguished. During the day she was warped ashore in the yard, to have her stores discharged. There was no one on board the:lighter when the fire was discovered. Her boat was found in Mutton Cove. An investigation before Commander Seymour took place in the course of the day, when it appeared that the mate went ashore at half-past 5 the previous evening, leaving two ship keepers in charge, and that subsequently on e of these, Cara, also went ashore, being unwell : he is in cus tody, the other cannot be found. It is very singular that the fire on board the C amel was discovered t he same day and month , the same hour, a nd almost the I it I :;1 . :„., , ~1,,,.., mo•- ....., • 4,- . —.-..... / ._ ... . .. , • • . ~., 7:4311-• 1 . ..: '24 (...._' . . ~ • 1. • gg t • • •'n . -- N X .1 . 4, .., 1 _:' --4:; , ,..4. ° ' 4 7: 142.:"1' : ~ H 7 •''' ---7:7"..' 4 .4:1 ......'S . -k i el.'. it' • ''''''''''' * • ; '.'4lt 'R' . 4k • ''J„. • 7. - --'' - ; ' . ! • ''-'.

The steam vessel Avon arrived on Sunday from Portsmouth. The ship Cornwallis is fully rigged, 'and will be ready by the 18th of October to sail for Hong-Kong. The deceased Commander-in -Chief, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, hearing last month that the funds of the Shipwrecked Mariners' ,Society were much ;depressed from the heavy casualties by the previous gales, most considerately sent a contribution of 501. in aid of this benevolent institution. .SHEERNESS, SEPT. 29.—Der Majesty's paddle wheel steam-vessel Wildfire, tender to the Waterloo, 120, Mr. Brockman, . second master, commanding, has returned from ,Heligoland. During iher voyage to this port she encountered very boisterous weather. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Barracouta is under going a thorough refit. She mad e the voyage from Spithead to the anchorage off Funchal, M a d e i ra, a distance of 1,330 miles, in 5i days, her average speed being 91 knots, the engines working the first two days on the first grade, and subsequently or, the second grade of expansion. With a moderate breeze right aft and square sail set she went fully 10 knots per hour. Under steam alone, with a smooth sea, her actual speed during her passage from M a d e i ra to Lisbon, a distance of 530 miles, was very nearly 10. knots. She accomplished the voyage from Lisbon to Spithead in 100 hours, which, as the distance between these anchorages is 860 miles, gives an hourly average of 8.6 knots only. This decrease in her rate of steaming is accounted for by the fact of her having had to contend with a strong breeze in the Bay of Biscay, otherwise she would have reached Spithead in Stf days. It has been observed of the Barracouta that when deeply laden, having her full quantity of coal and three months' provisions on board, her speed in smooth water is from 9 to 9i knots per hour ; but when light and nearly out of coal it is from 10 to 10i knots ; and with a strong breeze in her favour she attains to more than 11 knots. The unfortunate seaman who fell from the main yard of the London on Monday last expired just as the Lizard was in readiness to convey him to Mel ville Hospital. An inquest was holden on the body yesterday, and a verdict of Accidental death re corded. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 29.—Lieutenants —Armine Wodehouge (1845) and William Mould (1842), recently first lieutenant of the Amazon on the East Indies station, have been appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—Without scarcely a pr e . monitary notice, the winter seems fairly to have set in at this side of the Channel. Yesterday morning the wind changed to a north-easterly point, a n d at noon commenced one of the heaviest and most inces sant falls of rain that has taken place for several years past. It came down in a complete cataract, seem pied by a full gale of wind, which lasted throughout the rest of the day and the whole of last night. This morning the weather is, if possible, even more severe. All the inland mails were overdue at the Post-office by nearly two hours, and the delivery of letters and papers will be consequently greatly delayed to-day. The streets are flooded by the; continous rains, and nothing can be more dismal than the prospect out of doors. A correspondent of the Freeman thus describes the effects of the storm at Kingstown yesterday evening : "7 o'clock, P.ra.—While I am now writing the sea presents to the eye of those who may not have witnessed a similar scene a grand but awful sight, the waves roll ing in with tremendous fury, and, as far as the eye can reach, presents OD3 sheet of foam. In the distance, towards Dalkey &mind, I can distinctly perceive the spray breaking over the high land in that locality. The railway steamer from ll,lyhead will, I am. afraid, en counter its full fury; but, from what I know of these vessels, I am well satiLfi d their steaming and sailing qualities will enable the Scotia now on her passage, to reach the harbour in safety. " 19 o'clock, P.M.—Baroineter ranges from 29 to 29.5. The gale still rsges with unabated fury—the vessels in harbour making for its eastern prirti , m to secure them from the terrific blest, and a wicked sea tumbling in. The back of the east pier preset is at this moment a grand scene—the waves rolling bang over it, and descend ing on the promenade with a noise equalling thunder. The railway steamer not yet in sight. The parties on shore connected with her are now throwing up rockets, as a signal that it is altogether impossible to come along side the jetty—even to land at the Wolf is a question. In this case she must come to an anchor, and tend her passengers in her boats—a tedious but n ecessar y serv i ce. "11 o'clock—Frightful sea in the harbour. Mercury falling. A steamer has made her apperrance in the har bour (west side), but the parties on shore dare not reach her—no boat could near it. lam afraid she has got into collision with the small craft at anchor there; it is im possible to discern her, but it is supposed she has steamed out again. The waves—regular waves —crossing bang over the east pier, and the wind shifting continuhty, throw a heavy and dangerous sea on the jetty. Blue lights outside—evidently, from their repetition, some vessel in distress; but in such a sea succour is nest to an impossibility. _ _ ;‘ Half-past 11—Gale still on the increase. The e its steamer I have before alluded to h as not mad appear ance since. I am afraid we shall h ave bud news in the morning, g as blue lights are still burning sou th of the Kish Light. Landing now at t h e W olf i m p oss ible. "12 o'clock—The Scoti a h as just arriv ed. .Ml the pisseogerscane on shore safe. She could not land ht any of the j etties; had to east anchor in the harbour. Storm still on the increat , e." DEATH OF THE B ISHOP OF M EATu .--Saunders of this morning announces the death of the Most Reve rmeneialthT.

THE CAMBRIDGE FORGERY CABS.—The prisoner Robert Gilbert, who was remanded on Friday last on the charge of forging the name of James Kelley, of Sheraton Mallet, Somerset, to a banker's draft, was again brought up for further examination on Tuesday. The evidence of the father who obtained the 1001. bill, the brother Robert who forwarded it, addressed to J. Kelley, at Mr. Gilbert's, I lilts road, Cambridge, and the cashier of the branch bank bore was taken, and the charge preferred against the prisoner was b su b s tantiated. The prisoner declined making, any t and. his solicitor received his defence for another tribunal next tl3:Gilbert was then committed to take his trial at the b izes, and the magistrates refusad to admit him to tsatre°lnuasgesn FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importations of cattie from the continental States of Europe have for several weeks past been of a very extensive character. The total arrivals of foreign cattle into the port of London alone, itli4eu dentiv of those at the outports, amounted last week to con siderably more than 13,000 head of stock of all kinds. Of these there were about 11,000 sheep, besides about 2, , 00 head of horned cattle, and a proportionate quantity of other descriptions of stock. The great supplies of sheep are f-,rn Holland, which also exports large numbers of horned M and other cattle, the increase in the number of oxen ar.t.l Cows being caused by the large and important arrival" from Denmark and the Hanseatic states.
