We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The PRINCE PRESIDENT left Nevers for Moulins on the 16th, at ten io the morning. At Villeneuve sur-Allier, where the Emperor APOLEON bade adieu to the officers of his guard in 1814, the Mayor, at the head of the municipal council, several functionaries, and a number of large landed proprietors, amongst whom was Count DES Revs, Pcer of France under the Monarchy of July, received the PRINCE at the en trance of the town, under a triumphal arch, bearing above the device in letters of gold—" Vive l'Empereur !" "Vive Napol6on II !" The population received the cortege with the loudest acclamations; and after a short stay the PRINCE PRESIDENT proceeded on his way to Moulins. Moulins is a charming town situated on the banks of the Allier, in the midst of a fertile plain. The streets are wide and regular, and several public pro menades are planted with trees, reminding one of the towns in the South of France. The PRINCE PRESIDENT arrived thereat two o'clock, and, notwithstanding the rain which fell, his entry was a complete triumph. An immense concourse of people from every part of the department of the Allier, and from the adjoining departments, greeted the PRINCE with the unanimous cry of " Vive l'Empe reur !" The PRINCE proceeded at once to the cathe dral, where he was received by the Bishop at the head of his clergy. Cries of " Vive I'Empereur !" did not cease being repeated during the filing-off of the National Guard and of the troops of the garrison. In all the villages between Nevers and Moulins, the PRINCE'S carriage was covered with flowers ; triumphal arches were erected on his passage; the enthusiasm of the population exc. 'tds all that can be imagined. At Moulins the PRINCE visited the hospital, and every where left marks of his munificence. He went in the evening to the ball given at the Hotel de Vile. He opened the ball with the Countess GUYOT, the wife of the Prefect ; his vis-a-vis was the Prefect and the wife of the Mayor of Moulins. The PRINCE was greeted on his passage by the acclamations of an immense crowd. During the ball, the cry of " Vive Napoleon !" and still more that of " Vive l'Ernpe reur !" burst out several times. The PRINCE with drew at ten o'clock, and was accompanied back to the prefecture by the same cries of enthusiasm. He left the town at eight o'clock the following morning. The last accounts of the PRINCE PRESIDENT left him at St. Etienne on Saturday afternoon. His re ception there was magnificent. The cries were " Vive Napoleon !" " Viva l'Empereur I" The Moniteur is filled with addresses presented to Louis NAPOLEON in the course of his tour. A Lyons journal states that the PRINCE PRESIDENT will proceed from Valence to Avignon by water. The steam-boat company called the Parisiens have received orders to prepare one of their boats for the 24th. Another screw line-of-battle-ship was on Thursday added to the French navy by the launch of the Jean Bart, of 100 guns, at Lorient, which went off with the most perfect success, and amidst the enthusiastic shouts of thousands of spectators. In consequence of the new organisation of the Ministry of State, that department is divided into two services, the division of the Secr4tariat, and that of Palaces and Manufactures. At the head of the first is placed M. MONTULLE, who was previously sub director. M. Vermeil, who was chef de bureau of the direction of palaces and manufactures, is appointed chief of the new division of the same name. The Three per Cents. were quoted, at the Casino, at 78f. 25c. No business done in the Four-and-a- Half per Cents. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, SErT. 18.

SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 14th inst. The Gazette publishes the following : " The Queen has ordered that English vessels should be considered, in the ports of the peninsula and of the adjoining islands, as Spanish vessels, with regard to the payment of harbour and navigation duos, f rom the 2d inst., the day on which the Government was cfft.iially informed that Spanish vessels enjoyed the same advan tages in the Forts or Great Britain." Dispatches from the Captain. General of Cuba, dated the 9th ult., stated that the most perfect tran quillity prevailed in that island. Yellow fever had manifested itself with considerable intensity, and a few cases of cholera had occurred. The Three per Cents, were done at 471 ; the New Three per Cents. at 24k; the Debt of the first class at 124; and that of the second at G. BELGIUM. A dispatch from Brussels dated Saturday morning announces that, by royal decrees, the resignation of M. FUERE-ORBAN has been accepted, and M. LIEDTS has been charged provisionally with the Ministry of the Finance. The Chambers are convoked for the 27th instant. GERMANY. The Emperor of AUSTRIA was seized wit h indispo sition in the after n o on of the 11th, and compelled to take to his bed. But his MAJESTY'S physicians say that the indisposition is only slight, and that he will soon recover. It was caused, they say, by excess of labour. The Berlin journals publish a royal decree, having for its object the centralisation of power, and there. fore giving to the President of the Council of Mini sters the superior direction in all important affairs of every branch of the administration. No member of the Cabinet, except the Minister of War, is to be allowed to solicit a personal audience of the KING, without having apprised the President of the Council, who is to be present at the audience. SW EDEN. Letters from Stockholm of the 7th, in the Augsburg Gazette, give a few further particulars concerning the disturbances which had broken out there against the Jews. The Governor issued a proclamation on the 6tb, containing a warning not to repeat the dis graceful scenes of the preceding day, but to no pur pose ; they were renewed in the evening, and the mob broke the windows of the Synagogue. The police at first behaved with great forbearance, and tried persuasion to make the people disperse; but it was soon found necessary to have recourse to more stringent measures, and twenty persons were arrested. A judicial inquiry is set on foot. The King and Queen of SWEDEN arrived at Lubeck on the 11th, and were received and entertained at dinner by the authorities. Their MAJESTIES subse quently proceeded to Travemunde, where a house had been prepared for their reception. The town was illuminated. The KING and QUEEN passed the night there, and left the next morning on board a Swedish war steamer. DENMARK. The official journal of Copenhagen of the 13th contains a royal decree convoking the Diet for the 4th October. It also publishes a royal decree dated the Bth, by which an English company is authorised to form a railway from Rensburg in Holstein to Hu sum in Schleswig and from Husum to Tcenhing. The works are to be concluded in two years. The conces sion is made for 100 years, but is to be confirmed in every new reign. ITALY. The King of SARDINIA arr . • d on li the 12th a manm• place o Casale, in order to witness the great "e military vres to be executed before that newly-fortified l Th e town was spontaneously illuminated. H M AJESTY received the authorities, whom he to invited is his table. T he Duchess of GENOA arrived on the following day , when the manccuvres commenced. A hostile army was supposed to attempt a surprise up on the tete de pont o n the other side of the Po, not know ing that C asale was well garrisoned ; but the attack was repelled. On the second day the operations were directed to a certain point of the river to prevent the enemy from croising it. The manceuvres are under the direction of the Duke of GENOA. Letters from Cagliari of the 9th, state that the Court of Appeal there has generally confirmed all the sentences pronounced against the authors of the dis turbances which broke o ut in Sardinia i n Februar y last; only four having been annulle d. The chief editor of the Patriote Savoisien, which was seized a short time a g o at Ohamtel, tor an ar ticle written in a sectarian s p irit against the Pied montese Government, has b een condemned to six months' imprisonment and 1,500 francs e.

EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 9.—His highness the VICE.. ROY is now living at his palace of Derr-el-Beyda, on the Suez desert, whither he has recently repaired to avoid the dust and suffocating summer atmosphere of the capital. The tanzimat has been proclaimed in the Hall of Justice at the citadel, in virtue of the requirement of the Imperial finnan. All the officers above the military rank of major, the ulemas and mufti, and the chief notables were assembled on the occasion. The ceremony was grave and solemn, and the PACHA re• ceived the instrument with becoming deference. The tanzimat is therefore the law of the land. MAHOMED ALT during his ambitious career had exhausted in wars and folly so large an amount of the blood and treasures of his country that the people had fallen into a state of heartless serfdom, and the pro ductive capabilities of the country were, if not retro gressieg, at least stationary. ABBAS VACUA saw this, and struck out a different policy. He lessened the demand On population by reducing as far as practicable the army, navy, and public works, and directed the whole energies of the country on agri culture. The result had been that, besides the in crease of people, which is very considerable, cotton and corn increased in a still greater ratio, and the land was marching rapidly on in prosperity, The growth of cotton, which is the most important of our staples, had increased from 700,000 cantsrs (961 b.) to 1,000,000 within one single year ; and the quantity of corn sent to England alone in 1851 was double the entire exporta of this article five years before. The increase in the value of agricultural produce exported during the first year of the present VICEROY'S Government, as compared with that im mediately preceding it, amounted to no less than 64,137,558 piastres ! the figures being 166,056,132 piastres, as compared with 230,193,690 piastres. The item of cotton showed an increase of 32,415,680 piastres, and corn 18,381,600 piastres. The relaxa tion also of the restrictive duties and traffic regula tions on interior products, such as ivory, gums, coffee, drugs, spices, and other articles peculiar to the re gions of the Nile, as well as those of Abyssinia and Arabia, tended to open a large source of employment calculated to stimulate enterprise and work important social good. As regards the railway, there can be no manner of doubt it deserves to be placed prominently forward among the evidences on record of the PACHA'S successful efforts to further the advancing development. At this juncture, when the people were relieved from an oppressive taxation, gaining confidence in the new government, and accumulating wealth (for in the year in question it is a notorious fact that 50,0001. to 60,0001. a week in English sovereigns, were paid by the merchants for private produce, and that this money was all carried into the interior or otherwise absorbed)—at this juncture Turkey prefers a demand (doubtless a just demand) for claims founded on the war in Syria, under MEHEMED on her own part, and a series of sums (swelling the bill to millions sterling), for compensation to the family of the late VICEROY, for prejudice done, or as sumed to be done, to their patrimonial rights. Such demands even a flourishing exchequer could not withstand, particularly if we add the year's tri• bute of 400,0001., and the estimated cost of the rail way, put down at 800,0001. more. To meet these, and afford ample indulgence to the agriculturists for the payment of their bead rents and taxes, it was suggested to the VACUA to open a Four per Cent. loan in England, but he at once refused his sanction to any such measure, even though he should be poli tically benefited from it. With a large and growing income, a little repose is all that is needed : and, unless other drags are again made upon her, two years will suffice to give Egypt and ABBAS VACUA an other fair start on the highway of prosperity. THE CREMDGMENTORNE BU OF "MIDA S CASEND THE JU" In a place, not in Crete, but in Essex they say, New life hes been given to Heathen mythology, For Europa came down from the clouds t'other day, To give us an instance of doubtful zoology. Her dear husband, Old Jove, who assisted her flight, Beheld with amaze, as she soared thro' the skies, That the bull which she rode on was dying of fright, And to Earth, with Europa, he instautly hies. In the name of Olympus, whence came this old bull? Do tell me, Europa? My sweetest! my bliss! Had you searched through the knackers, you never could cull Such a shocking bad bovine companion as this. Did he come from the Zodiac, tell me, I pray? Was ho fed upon air? or is fodder so dear? It can't be; friend Apollo has plenty of bay, To stand to his nags, every month in the year. No, no, my lov'd Hubby, Europa exclaimed, 'Twas in Smiffel' I bought him, so lank, thin, and bare, He was dying of phthisis, and should I be blam'd If I toJk up the brute, for a mere "change of air." But he's dead ! I—here comes Midas; he'll kick up a row, Tho' a donkey himself, still he's full of compassion. 'Tis a hundred to one, for this son of a cow, If he don't hold a court in right asinine fashion. Old Midas now opens the court, with great awe, And solemnity, fitting this doleful occasion, For the death of a bull ho most clearly foresaw Could never admit of disguise or evasion. Stand forth Master Jove and Europa, he cried, What say you to this most inhuman barbarity, In this high court of justice, o'er which 1 preside . Th ou gh an ass, I say it, this crime is a rarity. You both stand indicted for killing this bull, By kindness or torture, 'tis all one to me; And if you're found guilty, and I have " the pull," Won't you trip it to regions beyond the" Dead Sear' Take care what you plead, then— take care what you say, For thousands, aye, millions, are opening their ears; And " the eyes of allEuppe are on us to-day," To reprove wi th their hisses, or 'plaud withtheir cheers. Poor Europa and Jove, who erst . wanton'd and smird, Hung t h e i r a heads, heads, pleaded guilty; Jove hoped that the flaw Which his wife had committed, coerced or beguiled By himself as her lord, would find favour in law. Silence reign'd in the court; for the hour had be g un When '6 the eyes of all Europe" were strained to behold As fantastical, e bit of fun singular, strang As chronicles time out of mind have yet told. And now for the judgment —Hem! Old Midas began. Fe! fa! fum! ``l smell blood"—'Tis a horrible case, " I'm the judge and the jury"—smoke that if you can, And the bull shall have law whilst I sit in this place. 'Tis a case which concerns both " the welfare and pea ce , " And the morals of the kingdom" (of bulls, pigs, and monkeys, Of widgeon and saipe, not forgetting the geese), And mayhap, my fraternal, intelligent donkeys. And there's one thing I've learn't since I came here below, " That slaves in the Indies have long since been set free"— ',l've been school'd in a pot. house" since a boy, that you know, And why shouldn't the bull, then, find friendship from me? You both may be married, for aught / know or care, And Vulcan forged chains which till death you can' sunder; But, " according to Cocker," ev'ry two make a pair; To fine each of you, now, can be no legal blunder. Parturiunt Montes I then prepare for the worst, (There's " a ridicules mus" at the bottom of all,) I'll sentence you now, for I'm ready to burst, To a fate that no power on earth can recal. To old Charon go each, put an Obolus bright In the mouth of the bull, for his wand'ring alone On the banks of Cocytus 'mid the darkness of night, And they'll bury him decent, hoof, horns, and bone. And let this be a warning to others who dare Bring a bull from " Old Smiffel" to gaze at the moon, That 'tis done at their peril; for this much I swear, D—n me, " I'll cook their goose," aye, and that very soon. ALPHA. HENRY RUSSELL'S CONCERTS.—On Saturday nigh this popular favourite gave the last of his series of entertain ments at the Lyceum Theatre, after a short but successful career. The house was crowded to excess, and Mr. Russell, who more than equalled his former efforts, was frequently gree ted with rounds of applause. The great attraction of the evening was the announcement previously made public that he intended to distribute four valuable prizes, in ob taining which every one who entered the theatre was to have an equal chance. The prizes consisted of a free passage for four individnals to America, Mr. Russell having promised that the whole proceeds of the theatre that evening should be devoted to defraying the expenses of their voyage to the Far West. Three of the successful numbers were found to be held by persons in the pit, and the remaining one to be in the possession of an inhabitant of the gallery, and the whole found to be in a humble position of life, and to be desirous of bettering their condition in the new world. Mr. Russell, we believe, intends to repeat his entertainments in a few days at Liverpool and Sheflield, and it is to be hoped he will meet with as much encouragement as he has received in the metropolis. COMPOSITORS' EMIGRATION SOCIETY.—A. meeting of the compositors of London was held on Saturday evening, at the Red Lion Inn. Red Lion-Court, for the purpose of organising a society for the promotion of emigration. The meeting was well attended , a nd the rules which had been previously framed by a comm ittee, were amply discussed, and, after a few trifling modifications, cordially adopted. The object of this society is that of advancing sums of money without any charge for interest, to compositors desirous of emigrating. The minimum charg which i member was caship lculated was by the meeting fixed at 3d. per week , t would establish a fund sufficiently large to enable the committees to carry into effect the laudable purposes of the society. A tanner, recently deceased, at Manchester, is said to have left a fortune a 250,0001., which he had accumu lated in that trade. A AION DAY PRINCESS'S THEATRE• The season was inaugurated on Saturday evening by the performance of a novelty, a favourite, and a revival :—The Prima Donna, The Corsican Brothers, and A Boland for an Oliver. The first named piece, a two act comedietta, is from the ready pen of M. Bouciceult, the aptest playwright of the present day. It is an a daptation irom the French theatre, interesting, buoyant, roman tic, and amusing. Stella, the Prima D o nna, is an orphan who has been adopted by Dr. H o lb e in, a benevolent physician of Geneva, who b r i ngs h e r up with his daughter Margaret, whom ah e l oves with sisterly affection. As Stella advances to womanhood it is discovered that she has a fine voice, which she culti vates, and becomes the most renowned singer at the Opera of Milan. She there forms an attachment for Count Eric Von Mansfeldt, the son of the Austrian Minister, who violently opposes the inclination of the lovers, and obliges Stella to fly from Milan to the house of the good doctor, wh ere s h e fi n d s her adopted sister, Margaret, apparently at th e po i n t o f death. She is, in fact, dyin g of love fer a young Austrian deicer, who had raved her lif e f rom a fire, and she now recognises her preserv er i n C ount Eric, who has followed Stella from Mil an , f o rthe pur pose of being privately married to her. Stella, with a generous consideration for her sister's feelings, and in order that her parting moments may be happy, induces Eric to feign that he loves Mar garet, and even to ask her hand o f h er f a th e r in mar riage. The effect is almost m ag i ca l ; the fleeting spirit of the love-sick girl is a rreste d on th e brink of the grave, while Stella as compell e d t o re t urn to Milan, to fulfil a professional eagagem en t , l eav i ng her affi anced lover with the unsuspecti ng M argaret . The re suit may easily be foreseen—Eric learns to love the innocent and affectionate girl, and to forget Stella. The second act lies in Milan, whither the Doctor, his daughter, and Count Eric have come to celebrate the marriage of the two latter. They meet at Stella's hotel, and some scenes of great interest take place, in which the truth gradually reveals itself to her; she discovers that she is no longer loved by Eric, and, with an unselfish generosity, she sacrifices her own feelings to make the lovers happy, and besto ws h er h a nd upon Rouble, a young banker, who has mo s t p erse veringly followed her, and has proved the sincerity of his love by fighting a man who has insulted her, and leaving her his whole fortune in the event of his death. The part of the amorous Rouble, who is a goodhearted, good-tempered, vulgar Crcesus, winnin g his object by dint of coolness, perseverance, and pluck, was played by Mr. Walter laacy . in admir a bl e sty l e. This sterling and finished artist is an excell en t acqu i s iti o n to the establishment, and his talents d o no t a ppear likely to be let grow rusty for want of employment, as he undertook prominent characters in all three pieces of the evening. Miss Heath made her first appearance on the public stage as" the Prima Donna," Stella, and we can safely speak of her with unquali fied commendation. She has the advantages of a handsome face and tall, well-formed fi gure, while her acting is marked with an ease, refin ement, and self possession that evinced excellent trai n i ng (we should say, from Miss Heath's style, under M rs . K ean ' s hands), as well as intelligence and competency. It was an eminently successful debut. Th e pretty and rather interesting part cf the m arve l lously suscep tbiyblme M iss arg ß a o re b t er w ts a o s n. very Ar niea. ti cathcart, as t h e doubley and car e f u ll y executed lover and spoony subaltern Eric, had little more to do than to sport an unexceptionably cut Austrian uniform of white and blue. Mr. Addison gave the part of the good old Doctor in his accustomed natural, to th e t h a e u author, nce hearty, effective style. On the whole, th e d rama was brought out and acted in a manner most creditable die to the management, most satisfactory t o and, wh(,, w in e compliance p convinced, mostwith universal gratifying call, had to come forward and bow his acknowledgments. The Prima Donna will run for many an evening. The unfading Corsican Brothers, which had run last season for a succession of nights denoted by the outside figures of " the number of the Beast," then followed. Mr. Charles Kean, whose famous per formance it were altogether superfluous to eulogise, experienced a thoroughly cordial reception on the commencement of the new campaign. He was, as usual, recalled at the conclusion, and a similar com pliment was deservedly paid to Mr. Walter Lacy, who undertook, and filled all but as well, Mr. Wigan's noted rule of Chateau Renaud. His acting and make up were admirable, and it is, perhaps, through the force of first impressions that we give the alight pre ference to his predecessor. A greeting was likewise bestowed on two steady and judicious pillars of the state dramatic, and established favourites at this house, Mr. Ryder and Mr. Meadows, on their ap pearance as the respective leaders of the revengeful factions. The afterpiece of A Roland for an Oliver was capi tally played throughout. Our old friend Maria Darlington found an adequate representative, artisti cally clever as well as personally charming, in Miss Carlotta Le Clercq, who fairly aspires to become a no less accomplished votaress of Thalia than she has hitherto been of Terpisehore. Miss Le Clercq's perso nation of the vivacious Maria was faultlessly ele gant, spirited without exaggeration, and ladylike and graceful as arch and animated. The well-known waltz song was delightfully given and warmly applauded. Alfred Highflyer is just one of the parts in which Mr. Walter Lacy is thoroughly at home, and his genuine light comedy was very audibly appreciated. Mr. Addison played Sir Mark Chace as well as could be expected—that is to say, better than any performer in his line we know of; and Mr. Meadows was ex cellent as the jealous old rascal Fixture. The curtain descended amidst much applause. The house was fashionably attended, an d every por tion completely filled. The interior has been taste fully decorated during the recess, and among other , alterations may be n o ti ce d t h e i ntro d uc tion of the legitimate "green curtain " new box dra e ries, and an increase in the number and comfort of the stalls. The same three pi eces are to b e re peated every evening during the pre sen t wee k, o ffering a pro gramme eminently cal cu l ate d to d raw good houses.

ELOPEMENT.—During the last week a strange elopement has taken place from this town, the parties being W. Whit fi eld and J. Wilson, master painters and glaiers, who had been partners for some time past, and were doing a respectable business. On Tuesday morning they eloped with two women, one of whom is the wife of a ship captain. On the day previous this lady w ent out into the roads, on board of th e vesse l w hi c h her husba nd commands, and took an affectionate f arewe ll of hint.

EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1852, IND fA. The chief event of importance which bad occurred at the seat of war, since the departure of the last mail, had been the capture of Prome, by a fleet of light steamers, under the command of Captain Tarl ton. The capture had been effected with the greatest case and the loss of only one life, and there was every reason to believe that the steamers might have reached Ave. with little difficulty, as the river was found to be navigable during the rainy season for steamers of light draught all the way to the capital. Under these circumstances, the Fabian policy of the commander in Burmah gave rise to considerable discontent. The Calcutta Englishman gives the following Sc count of the successful expedition : "RANGOON ' JULY 16. " Something at l as t worth telling has b een brought fleet about by the galla n t little that was sent up some short time ago at the earnest recommendation of the Commodore to r eco nnoitre Prome. It was pretty well guessed that Captain Tarlton, the com mander of the expedition, would speedily follow his reconnoitre by something more t h d . ecisive nod satisfactory, and those who ie ere h rited qualities of the gallant sailor h a d th e us e.g .0 ' s d of him have had their opinioriof hi d s iv c i t d ia es rac:ter justi fied. The river below Proms two streams ; the left of these is the deepertself into of the two, indeed the only navigable channel at any other season of the year than the present the left bank of this, that is the left bank o f t h e river, the Burmese were located in great numbers, and on this bank, in very commanding positions, were stone bastions mounted with cannon, whi c h co uld entirely enfilade that branch of the river. Through this our friends of course thought the fleet must pass to reach Prome, and well had they provided to contest severely the passage. But, to their disappointment and great grief, the steamers took the other channel, namely, the right branch, and thus got into the main river comparatively unarmed by the guns on the formidable bastions. On reaching the stockade at Prome, the garrison appearing a very feeble one, the:marines and seamen were landed, and the place, with no resistance, taken ; 28 guns, including some mortars, were captured, and have been brought down. One seaman only was killed, two officers wounded, and those severely. Lieutenant Elliot, of the Royal Marines, received a ball in his foot. where it still is, and, some of the bones having been frac tured, it is feared be will be lame for life. Mr. I Fraser, of the Pluto, is severely wounded in the arm. The river is said to have risen eighteen feet since the commencement of the rains, and all the naval authorities declare there is water enough to float any steamer here, not only to Prome, but to Ave, if need be. Why not then take advantage of the season ? Why not send up as many men as can be spared at once with instructions not to stop at Prome, but go straight to the capital ? One European regi ment and two native corps with a company of artillery are ample for the protection of this place, which is, you may say, under the guns of the ship ping—besides which we are in a friendly country, and cannot be surprised, and as long as our steamers are wending their way towards Ava there is no chance of a concentration of force against us here. It is hoped that:the Governor-General, will at once see the propriety of taking advantage of the season when the river is so deep, and pushing up troops as high and l as ra pidly as he can. All the natives on the banks Id the river told our people in the steamers, that be tween Prome and Ave there was not a Burmese army of any description to stop us; so evident is it that the Burmese have not reckoned on the facility with which our s t e amers can make way against the stream, and so fully have they reckoned on our adopting in this war the same tedious system of an advance by land, in which they were able so to harass us in the last, and which very system our commander proposes to adopt. If his Judgment does not alter, may it be overruled, is the devout wish of every one who has the interests of this force at heart, and the speedy ter mination of the war, if such it can be called. "The seamen and marines on landing at Prome found the place vacated for them ; they remained 24 hours there, and some went a mile and a half into the country without seeing any appearance of the enemy. So different is the climate up there, that ac tually dust was blowing about, which shows how little rain had fallen lately. Capt. Tarlton deeply regretted he had not a regiment with him, and that his instructions did not ad mit of going higher up, for, from what was there learnt, it seems that between Promo and Ave there would have been nothing found to prevent the latter place being attaied. It does, indeed, seem a thousand pities that his n wishes could not have been carried into effect. Such a move now would bring this unsatisfactory expedition to a close in three months and less. By the tedious method of a march it will take a year at the very least to do so. When the steamers, after passing up the right branch, had got into the main stream, numbers of Burmese were seen cross ing the left branch in boats, upon which some of our steamers turned back, and ran in among them, firing into the enemy's boats, and securing severe:', among them the one which belonged to the com mander of the army there, a son of Bandoola, on which was a splendid flag. It was reported that a steamer belonging to the King of Ave had left for Ava only the day previous to the arrival of our steamers. The Commodore is exceedingly anxious to secure this, as she is a light craft, and would be of great use. No one knew before that the King of Ave possesaed a steamer besides the one taken and burnt by the Tenasserim in April. All are anxiously expecting some decisive move will be ordered by the Governor-General when he bears what has taken place at Prome, and is informed of the present favour able state of the river, and the mildness of the weather up the river, compared to what it is even here ; and even in Rangoon all say this is a very mild rainy season. " The assistant-surgeon of the Fox was slightly wounded in the shoulder, making three officers wounded, and not two only, as mentioned." It is stated in a subsequent part of the same letter that it was a village on the banks of the river that warned our steamers not to take the left channel, as there were guns in a strong position guarding it. This friendly warning of course saved many valuable lives, and further proves the amicable feelings of the natives, and their anxiety to throw off the yoke of their Bur mese masters. Not a drop of rain had fallen in the three days from the 17th to the 20th of July, and the warm weather was again setting in. The thermometer rose to 85 and 86, which, as the Englishman observes, is warm for Rangoon. A postscript to this intelligence, dated the 31st of July, states that an immediate advance on and occu pation of Promo is expected, and reinforcements will at once be sent down from Madras and Bengal. The troops that are to march from Madras consist of two brigades of infantry, viz., two European and two native regiments, and also two troops of horse artil try. Nothing had transpired as to the number of roops that were to join from Bengal. the mayor and corporation of Carmarthen base given to u;,--(Loud cheers.)

We have had a delightful meetin g after a nest ,plenuid journey ; and here permit me to o b serve that I know of DO pleasure equal to that of travelling in a broad gauge carriage of the Great Western Railway. The great 1)r. Johneen once said that of al; the pleasures f life he knew none to comp ire with that of travelling in a pest chaise at the rate of ten miles an hoar in the company of a pretty woman.—(Laughter.) Now if he had enjoyed the opportunity of which we have this day availed ourselves, of travelling on the broad gauge at the rate of fifty miles an hour, in the company of seven pretty women—[the compartments of the breed guage carriages hold eight passengers]—it is not too much to say that he never would have sobered down to write his dictionary. It is a source of great gratification to contrast the prospects of the South Wales Company at this moment with what they were three years since. When I joined the company the notion of reaching this town by rail was considered to partake of the fabulous, and the achievement of such a task was looked upon as chimerical; and my colleagues in the direction, although they were most anxious to accomplish it, shock their heads, I assure you, very mournfully, whenever wo spoke of the subject; but we persevered, and, as you see, success has happily attended our efforts.

Indeed, lam spec ially b„nd to do so, because I am one of the directors of pany which is going to build steamers so large that Miltord Haven is the only port from which they can sail. The Hon. Gentleman then again thanked them for the reception which the Mayor and corporation of Carmarthen had given to himself and colleagues, and for the enthusiastic manner in which the toast had been re ceived, and resumed his seat amid loud cheering. Several other toasts followed, and the company broke up at six o'clock. At night there was a brilliant display of fireworks in the town. We have, as did the speakers at the publics breakfast, called the journey from Swansea to Carmarthen the opening of this portion of the line, but we learn that the Government inspector has refused permission for the public opening, in consequence of some incom pleteness, as we are informed, at the level crossing of the Llanelly line. It is supposed that this will delay the public opening for a week or ten days. It was stated that on the return journey last night a genth man of the name of Williams tell from one of the carriages. At the time the express train left yesterday it was not ascertained whether he had left or fallen from the train. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE SOUTH SOUTH \VALES RAILWAY.- —OPENING FRONI SWANSEA TO CAI-MAIM - IEN. CARMARTHEN, SATURDAY MORNING The chairman of the South Wales Rehr ay (Mr. Talbot, M.P.) and several of the directors, wills the chief .offieers of the company, were entertained here yesterday at a public breakfast, given to them by the Mayor and corporation, in celebration of the approaching opening of the line from Swansea to Carmarthen. The celebration was ge neral and enthusiastic at Carmarthen end along the whole of this portion of the South Wales Railway ; and the inhabitants of the principality amply testified their sense of the great advantages which the construction of a railway through the district must necessarily confer upon them—and sot to the popula tion of South Wales alone. The line from Chepstow to Carmarthen—about 100 miles—runs for the greater part through some of the most delightful scenery to be found in Great Britain, a.3d the recom mendation which the railway has to the traveller is, that 40 or 50 miles of rich and diversified views of mentor:in, valley, and liver can be 50111 from tho railway itself. Knowing from txpernnee that the best way " to look at the country" ees CO n ride outside," I jumped on the engine attached to the seven e'cicrl:rOew a morning tra:n from Chepstow to Swabs; a. The weather was delightful, and I prepared myself for a d a) , 's erjeymern. There are few things mope exhilarating than a mountain bre( zA, a good cigar, and 50 or E 0 miles an hour on the foot-plate of a ltentnotive—for yon may smoke on an engine. At Newport the bard of the 48th Regiment joined us, en its way to the public breaktest. A description of the country through which the line runs between Ncwport and Swansea does not fall within the circle of my duty, but I may in passing observe, that from at least twenty portions of the railway I lied an excellent view of so -nery amidst which the tourist might enjoy himself for au entire season. The Vale of Neath, as seen from the summit of the heavy incline about a couple of miles be yond the town, p re sents one of the most beaut iful views to be fo un d i n the whole of South Wales. At Swan sea I f oun d a l a rge party preparing for t h e trip to Carmarthen, amongst whom I noticed Lord Vil hers and several other directors of the South Wales tihtaeiltwrZYnCvveams paln2y.o'cTlohcke,tireanedfiaxefedwfomr t hour een two carriages, powerful in engines, wh ieh was not a vacant seat, proceeded down the branch to the junction with the line, at which point it had been arranged the train, now increased to 21 cart' preparatory to starting for tagds, should be marshalled,.

A third engine having at tached to the train, the signal of " all right" was D. crowd. oo the steam was put on, and the party onwards, amidst tremendous shouts from the moved w given ; The first engine was taken charge of by Mr. the locomotive superintendent of the Great Western Railway Company, by whom the South Wales line L i ; worked, and upon the foot-plato were Mr. Matthews, the deputy-chairman of the latter company, Lord Vil liers, one of the directors, and Mr. Brodie, the superin tending engineer over the construction of the line from Swansea to Carmarthen. The second engine was driven by Mr. Martley, the deputy-locomotive manager of the South Wales Railway. The line has a slight curve to the right immediately beyond the junction of the Swan sea branch, and on looking back from the commencement of the curve a very good view is obtained of Swansea, with its copper works, the white smoke from the latter, and the high hills beyond, made partly bare from the pernicious effects of the smoke itself. A short distance onwards the Carmarthen turnpike road is crossed, and the line takes its course through a heavy cutting, spanned by several stone bridges, and then skirts some high ground on the left. A short tunnel succeeds, from which the line enters a fine open country. About a couple of miles beyond the tunnel we were sa luted with several pieces of " ordnance" from some copper works on;the left, and before we reached Car marthen this mark of distinction had been bestowed upon us at least 500 times. A few miles beyond the tunnel the line descends for a considerable distance a gradient of lin 52. In running down it the steam of the engines was, of course shut off, and the tender breaks applied, but we still descended at a pretty good pace, the steam of the third engine blowing off great guns at the safety valve. The first station, Loughor, is a short way beyond the incline. Here the chairman and directors were greeted with the cheers of about 1,000 persons and vigorous firing from a number of small cannon, the firing being kept up the whole time the train remained at the station. The river Loughor is crossed upon a long wooden bridge, a portion of which is swung for the accom modation of the navigation. From Loughor the line is nearly level for some distance, and much of the scenery through which it passes is exceedingly picturesque. Shortly before arriving at the Llanelly station the line crosses, on a level, the Llanelly Railway. The number of persons congregated together to witness the arrival of the train were several thousands, a large proportion of them being workmen from the copper-works in the neighbourhood. At Llanelly one of the engines was un coupled, and left us. While the train was at the station addresses were presented to the chairman and directors by the Town Council and Chamber of Commerce. Beyond Llanelly the line proceicle upon a slight em bankment across some maisti land, but between this and the next station, Petribrey, there is much exceedingly pleasant scenery. Near rembrey, wle re a smell floating dock has been built, sonic extensive copper-works have recently been erected, and there is no doubt that the extension of the railway to the piece will greatly increase the Wei prise of the people in the vicinity. As at the other stations, there was here an abun dsnce of powder expended in honour of the opining of the line.. From Pembroy to rear Kidwelly but one line of rails have been completed. The permanent way is, however, nearly ready for laying down the second line. A few miles beyond Pembrey one of the young ladies of the principality presumptuously pitted the speed of her beautiful little dark brown pony against the power of a couple of brood-gauge engines. As we got a clear view over a small piece of woodland between the train and the turnpike road to Kidwelly we saw the young lady in question with her becoming high-crowned and tapering ••• ••• beaver gallopping along at a rare pace, and as we were at the moment steaming at the moderato rate of about Total . twenty miles an hour, the gallant little steed managed Total miles open, 18 to keep a few lengths behind us; but for him the pace London Terminus.

There is so much additional matter compressed into the following extract from the current number of the Mining Journal, that we need not apologise to our readers for renewing their attention to the subject. With us it is one of extreme interest, as our personal know ledge of Mr. Lee Stevens, and of the successful progress he has made in demonstrating the superior propulsive utility, as well as the great saving in the construction and maintenance of his wheels, create in us the strongest desire that steam navigation, inland, coastwise, and oceanic, should be immediately improved by their adop tion:-- " We observe (says the Mining Journal) that the , Australia, one of tae Austrian Lloyd's steamers: ,i_'' a n. tained on her voyage to Alexandria by the sunal a niug' ono of her wheels, which, being on the feather ing f feven g e x l e i o fi n o a w t it g h ive th s e w o ay th u er p s r prin ciple, must always be liable to great destru c t io n upor in its a con in n eccentric motion by w hi c h the f owners of sea-going ob tained.

And it would seem that the directors of the new company are not wanting in confi dence as they have determined to guarantee one dividend per annum to the shareholders, out of the proceeds upon the foreign patents granted to Mr. Lee Stevens, irrespective of the reasonable calculation of a second annual dividend from the returns upon the English patents. So that the shareholders will be insured an immediately-accruing interest dividend (if we may so term it) of not less than. three per cent. per annum, w i t h a prof i t d i v id en d, out o f which alone the office and ma nagemen t e xpenses will be deducted, and which s econ d di v i den d ma y run from three to ultimately 30 p er cent. mor e.

(From the Oxford Journal of Saturday.) Our readers will find in another column an account of the almost sudden death, on Tuesday last, of his Grace the Chancellor of this University. The intelli gence was received in Oxford early the next morning, the various bells tolled out their mournful notes at in tervals for some hours, and a general feeling of regret appeared to reign throughout the University and city. His Grace was elected Chancellor of the University in 1834, upon the death of Lord Grenville, and we under stand that a meeting of resident members of Convocation was held on Wednesday, in Oriel College, with refer ence to the election of a successor to his Grace. The names of the Earl of Derby, the Duke of Newcastle, and the Earl of Shaftesbury, were mentioned as likely to be brought forward. The election is vested in the members of Convocation. THE VACANT CHANCELLORSHIP. It having been currently reported, and generally be- lieved, that a gentleman had been deputed to wait on the Duke of Newcastle. in order to induce him to be a can didate for the Chancellorship, some of the very few members of the University now in Oxford, deeming it inexpedient to remain inactive, held a meeting on Thurs day, in order to enable those who were favourable to the claims of Lord Derby, to unite with them in a request to that nobleman for permission to put him in nomination. The list was headed by the venerable President of Magdalen College, followed by some six or seven Heads of Houses, and other members of Convocation, and it is expected that the public notice will appear immediately WHOLESALE FRAUDS ON THE IPSWICH POST OFFICE.-00 Saturday William Collins (late chief clerk), Frederick Joseph Sheldrake, and Edward Channing Bartho lomew Brummitt, were finally examined on Eeveral charges of embezzling money, the property of ber Majesty, before the Mayor of Ipswich and a bench of magistrates.
