f orm a committee to confer with the landowners with a view to settle the term s to the ir satisfaction. After a short e onsultetion w ith . the other directors, Mr. Chaplin rep eated th i s suggestion,ndding that half a-dezen shareholders .might be appointed to assist the b oar d in conferri n g with the landowners. Mr. LIERAPATH objected to anything that might com mit the company to the plan at all. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE said that he held a great man y proxies from Manchester, and the gentlemen whom he regasontnd . were not unfavourable to the pro ject itsel9; t r princ ipal objection being to the terms. captain MOOESOM proposed that there be added to the proposition, that the committee should consider the pro priety of obtaining a line between Dorchester and Ax minster. The CHAIRMAN—You have no scheme that will hold wat*r., and if you had, you have no money to carry it our.—(Laugh ter .) I wish to speak in the kindest way; but this meeting was perfectly humbug ged last year.— (Great laughter.) A committee was obtained, but it only led to delay. Captain Mammas protested against his scheme being called a humbug. He was glad, however, that the chair man had at last spoken out. Had he done so a long time ago, instead of appearing personally to favour it, a vast de4 of trouble might have been saved. The CHAIRMAN—YOU certainly came to me, but you minted 3,0001. before you could even serve the notices. Mr. LocKE said the landowners had no particular de sire to raise any part of the money. If the company wished it, they might raise the whole sum. After some further discussion a resolution was moved and carried almost unanimously to the follow ing effect: —" That this meeting is of opinion that i t isvery irn patent to the security of the interest s and propnrty of this railway that the originally designed extension of the line from Salisbury to Exeter s hould be carried out without delay, provided that reasonable terms can be arrived at wit" the landowners who have off ered i to co operate with this company for the purpose n question; and that it is accordingly resolved that it go back to a committee consisting of the board and the following gentlemen. to ieport in the month of September,— namely, Mr. Craigie, Mr. Beaven, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Helps, Mr. Matins, Mr. Ashmore, and Mr. Tite." Before this motion w a s put Captain Moonsoar made another effort to get his clause added to it, and Mr. Locke said he should not object to the addition if the work " Bridport" were substituted for that of " Dor chester." Toe gallant captain's motion only found two supporters, and was of course lost. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman , and the meeting, which had lasted upwards of six hours, broke up. A meeting of the proprietors of the Ne held, but Western Steam Navigation Company was then only for a the business was merely for ma l, and las ted w South few minutes. A Capital PENTONVILL E.

Query—lf her MAJESTY'S Ministers had not seizad the American smack in the Bay of Fundy, if Sir GEORGE SEYMOUR had not acted thus vigorously in obedience to the instructions received by him from the Cabinet, if the DERBY Administration had not adventured upon their recently bold policy in refe rence to the British North American fisheries, would not the race of systematic cavillers have yet more virulently assailed the existing Government ? The truth is, that those who are so particu larly obstreperous in regard to what they term the precipitation of the late proceedings of our administrators towards the fishermen of the United States would have been, under those circumstances, among the very first to direct the charge of weakness and of timidity, and of a culpable disposition to coo -1 cede against the Noble Lord at the head of the Fo reign Department: That Noble Lord we ourselves regarded as most signally injudicious in his man. ner of conducting the MATHER diplomatic cor respondence. We expressed, plainly enough, the sen timents with which we observed his method of treating that question—a method which we considered, and which, moreover, we declared that we considered, a once timid and vacillating. Happily the Earl of MALMESBUICY appeared to recognise the folly of the course pursued upon this subject in the first instance, and this too before the interchange of communications between the Cabinets of St. James's and Florence had proceeded so far as to be beyond the reach of repara tion. Immediately upon the arrival of Sir HENRY BIILWER at Florence the mistakes into which our rulers had fallen were repaired in a brilliant manner by that distinguished master of diplomacy. Acting upon a totally different system, acting upon a system of vigour and promptitude instead of a system o truckling and hesitation, Lord MALMESBURY has now boldly adventured upon a line of policy in regard to the British North -American Fisheries worthy of the dignity, the power, and, we will add, also, the inalienable rights of England. Upon the fortunate fruits of that policy we can rely with the utmost confidence. Upon this head we are satisfied, because as yet, whatever has been done in this matter by the authorities of this country, whether in the Bay of Fundy or in Downing-street, has been fully in accordance with the stipulations contained in the treaty of 1818 a treaty still in force—a treaty in :respect to the arrangements of which there cannot remain one moment's misappre hension. According to that treaty the Americans are expressly prohibited from carrying their fishing vessels within three miles of any of the coasts of the British North American possessions. When it is ob jected by the advocates of the United States' Govern ment that for many years past this prohibition has been notoriously violated by the citizens of the Transatlantic Republic—so far from that proving the Americans less culpable, it only enhances their guilt considerably, affording, if that were at all ne cessary, additional justification to the recent proceed ings of the English Government. Whatever may be the ulterior consequence of late events in the Bay of Fundy, the responsibility of that consequence will rest, we are bold to assert, exclu sively upon the statesmen entrusted with the conduct of the United States' Administration. Nowhere can be detected in these proceedings of the DERBY Cabinet the evidence of either culpable haste or culpable severity. If the whole of the future acts of our Ministers are in any way comparable to the one here referred to, they will find little difficulty in extending , their popularity in the United Kingdom, and in com manding the entire confidence of; the; more patriotic division of the community. Let them proceed upon a principle similar to that revealed throughout these proceedings in regard to this ti me 1"-s th:nrace the North American Fislderies, and they will be nothing ofahliist v a ie rs w t, ed to , w ca e r b ry elieve from our hearts, es,men who have " deserved well of their country." Brother JONA AN across the water may swagger amazingly at the off, if possible, in some measure, the disgrace OF his present position. But we doubt ' not that after e rizflection, his common sense, to say common prudence, will triumph over his vaingl ory a son : w e v ently seen by one Sir HENRY Americantagl i e and relieve that unlucky bird, the Banes, in of Nv t asil m . oulting condition, on the ~ 1g ton - will be spared the capitol at the cit y miserable attempt o f has arrived by diplo rn m e t cock-a-doodle-do!

Fortunately they, great majority, are ensbled to do so on presen t the occasion without serious difficulty or inconve nience. As a matter of course, railways have participated in the general prosperity, and although it could not be anticipated that the receipts would be as great as during the period when the excitement occasioned by the Great Exhi bition brought every one to town, the receipts, and consequently the dividends, have, generally speaking, been very satisfactory—and it is on the future pro ceedings, that discussions have arisen or are likely to arise on the present occasion. The great question at the meetings of the London and North-Western and Great Western Companies last week was amalgamation or no amalgamation. The long-continued hostilities between those great com panies have unquestionably been productive of very LONDON, injurious consequencn to the pecuniary interests Ji the shareholders, and peace is desirable on almost any honourable terms. Whether a permanent alliance can be effected, or that a still more intimate union is essential, remains to be proved, but something should be fortwith carried into execution to prevent further contests. Yesterday the London and South-Western Com- Y held hmeeting, which was an subsequently 1Y for the purpose of their ordinary special co nsidering the expediency of carrying out the pro posed central line from Salisbury to Exeter. Many reaso ns were adduced in favour o f th e propos iti o n. The simple fact that the P i r e haf contemplated route would pa ss through a country 53 miles wine, which as yet is totally devoid of railway communication, would alone be sufficient to warrant its adoption. There is no dis trict in England which will continue to submit to a deprivation so very prejudicial to all parties con cerned, but more especially to the agriculturists. Landlords and tenants, proprietors and occupiers, are alike agitating for the great desideratum, and it appears tolerably certain, that if the company will not undertake it, others less fastidious will be found, who may prove formidable rivals, and occasion a vast additional expenditure at some future period. The journey to Exeter—the capital of the West of England—will be shortened by no less than twenty-six miles, the distance by the present route being 197 miles, while by that under consideration it will be only 171 miles. It was also stated that responsible contractors were willing to undertake the construction of the branch for 1,100,0001., less than one-half of the amount that had previously been sanctioned for the formation of a similar line not offering superior advantages. The calculations from the estimated traffic showed that the receipts would not only be sufficient to pay full interest on the outlay, but to leave a margin towards the divi dend of the old lines, and this without taking into account the addition of profits arising from so efficient a feeder. Under such circumstances, it is only surprising that the project was not immediately sanctioned. It was, however, after some discussion, decided that it should be referred to a committee of directors and shareholders to make the necessary arrangements, and to report the result to a special meeting of the shareholders to be held next month. This may be looked upon as tantamount to its adoption. No time will be lost, for the decision of the adjourned meeting will be sufficiently early for the service of the preliminary notices and the other proceedings required by the standing , orders of both Houses of Parliament. The directors, by their ready assent to the investigation , s upplied the best evidence of their unlimited confi dence in the soundness of the project. They did not deprecate the inquiry, because they have nothing to fear from the result. The more stringent and scrutinising it may be, the better will they be satisfied. ara The death of Sir JAMES PARKER, one of the Vice- Chancellors cfEng,land, places a valuable appointment at the disposal of the Government. -Various specula dons are afloat as to the person who m a y b© selected 'or this post. If Lord DERBY follow the excellent example of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, h 3 will make the appointment only on the merits of the individual, irrespective of nil party considerations. Sir GEORGE TURNER and Sir JAMES PAEREIL were selected by the late PREMIER, in despite of their politics, which were Conservative. He wisely thought that profes sional ability should be the qualification for the ermine. Lord DERBY cannot have mach difficulty in finding a suitable successor to Vice-Chancellor PAR.. RER ; his dilemma will be whom to select out of many well-qualified persons. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, we suspect, would find himself more at home at Common Law than in Chancery. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, perhaps, may look higher than a Vice- Chancellorship. Sir PAGE WOOD, if he would accept the office, is eminently qualified, by ability, knowledge, and experience. Mr. JOHN STUART (who is an opponent of Law Reform) has been spoken of, but though the learned gentleman has extensive Chancery practice, neither the public nor the profes sion entertain any idea that he is eminently qualified for the bench. It is whispered that he has been of fered and has rejQcted the Vice-Chancellorship,butwe discredit the offer end the rejection. Mr. SWANSTON'S name has been mentioned. Few legal gentlemen have more substantial claims, on the score of merit. His Reports are extremely valuable, and it may be noticed as a curious fact, that the law-reporters have inva riably made admirable judges. Mr. BETHELL, Mr. BOLT, and Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER have also been spoken of. Another report states that the vacancy will probably be filled by one of the Masters in Chancery, placed hors de combat, on full salaries of 2,5001. a-year each. The Masters who will thus retire, at the commencement of next term, are Mr. FARBER, Sir WILLIAM HORNE, Mr. NASSAU SENIOR, p r o ken ABK o u f R , a sO n l33 d e T t i j im um e Eß ago w , er w e b e e p! pointed. By putting an ex-Master on the Bench and Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM. The last-named gentlemann Vice-Chancellors was s there would be an annual giving of 2,5001. ; but to make a man a Viee-Chancellor for the mere purpose of saving a few thousands every year would t cer amly be absurd, ill-advised, and un-economical. Such a saving as this would eventually be a moral loss. We cannot quit this subject without ll d* a u ing to a hint, in a Contemporary, that perhaps Mr. WALPOLE, the Home Secretary, who is a distinguished equity lawyer, might be induced to accept the vacant Vice- Chancellorship. We believe that such an appoint ment would give ample satisfaction to the profession and the public. The principal otjection to it would arise, we fear, from Mr. WALPOLE'S own fastidious feelings—he might think that his accepting this permanent in exchange for his present uncertain appointment, might be construed into a doubt, on his part, of the stability of the Administration to which he belongs. We should much regret if any idea of this sort should deprive the public of the advantage of Mr. WALPOLL'S assistance on the bench. He is a first-rate lawyer, and in full vigour of mind and body. Time was when senility of years was considered a sine qua non in a judge and a bishop. That absurd idea is very properly in process of becoming exploded. Vice-Chancellor ,PAuxut. was only forty-eight when appointed, and Mr. WALrorx is now of about the same age. When Learned Glatlemen are placed upon the Bench, at a time of life when men usually retire from occupations, whether professional or otherwise, requiring much head work, it sometimes happens that they become captious, garrulous, and intolerant, so that whatever their talent, they certainly do not up hold or advance the dignity of their lofty station. Mr. WALPOLE is comparatively a young man, and his antecedents are all in his favour. THE VACANT VICE-CHANCELLORSHIP.—The few stragglers of the Chancery bar still lingering in London are occupying themselves in speculations on the vacancy in the office of a Vice-Chancellor, caused by the death of Sir James Parker. The political right to the recipiency of this valuable and responsible judicial patronage is, of course, con sidered to belong to Mr. John Stuart, Q.C., the new Mem ber for Bury St. Edmunds, and who is said in his elec tioneering expenditure to have barely exceeded the legal expenses in turning out Mr. Bunbary.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18 1852. Tim FRENCH REPUBLIC. I THE SHARE MAAKETS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. We are happy to read in the Patric a contradiction of the reported death of the gallant veteran General PETIT. The Council of Arrondissement of Havre has voted an address to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, thank icg him for the services which he has rendered to the country. Similar resolutions have been voted by the Councils of Arrondissement of Perthnay, Amiens, Joigny, Chateaurcux, and Dieppe. A decree in the Ilioniteur charges, ad interim, M. Anna:rum, Minister of Justice, with the de partment of Finance, during the temporary absence of M. BINEA.U. A report from M. DE PERSIGNY is published in the same journal, pointing out to the notice of the PRE SIDENT of the Republic a number cf persons who acted with devotedness to the Government in the days of December, and recommending them for reward. A decree follows, promoting two persons so named to the rank of officers in the Legion of Honour, a nd conferring the cross on thirty others. Another decree contains 130 promotions or nomi nations in the Legion of Honour. Amongst the per sons named, General ROGER is made grand officer; M. PIETRI, the Prefect of Police at Paris, and M. DELAMANE, proprietor of the Patric, to the rank of officers ; and M. DE LA GUERONNIERE, the political writer in the Pays, to the rank of knight. We find the following in the Pays:—" M. TIMERS was at Vevay, in Switzerland, when he received the news of the decree of the 7th inst., authorising his return to Paris. This news caused him a pleasure which he loudly expressed. M. TILERS bore the weight of his exile with great grief, and the moment he heard of the decree he eagerly commenced prepa rations for his departure. For many years past M. THIERS has always passed his summer out of Paris, and this year he had arranged to spend several months at Vevay. He is, however, now so anxious to avail himself of the authorisation to return to Paris, that on Wednesday or Thursday he will be at his resi dence in the Place Saint Georges. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, who was happy to sign the document which re-opened the gates of the country to an illus trious citizen, will, we doubt not, be pleased to learn with what f ee li ng t h e act was received, and how eagerly it was t a k en a d van t age o f." General B EDEAU h as wr i t t en t o th e I n dependance of Brussels to state that there is no truth in the report which has been current that he is about to take orders in the church. The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic gave a grand soirée on Monday night, at the Palace of St. Cloud. The cards of invitation fixed nine o'clock for the cocommencementOf The reception, and before halt past nine at least one thousand persons had arrived. By ten o'clock at least two thousand were present, and guests continued to arrive until after midnight. Among the company were a great number of sena tors, members of the Council of State and judges, the members of the diplomatic corps, all the generals of the army of P ar i s , an d a considerable number of tonels and other officers. At a little after ten PRINCE, o'clock the accompanied by the Princess MATIIILI)E and some of his Ministers, went through the rooms bowing to his guests. On his retiring the dance commenced in the long gallery, and this was followed by a s pl en did supper. A considerable por tion of the co m p any rem ained till a late hour. Some idea may be f orme d of the crowded state of the reoms, by the fact of the file of carriages reaching beyond the bridge of Surennee. A letter fr om ' Nantes, of the 14th instant, states that Prince JEROME BONAPARTE had arrived there on the previous day. The PRINCE, on his way, 'stopped at Indret, and - devoted part of a dsy to examining the works at that place, afterwards coming on to Nantes in a steamer. He was received on landing with loud cries of " Viva Napoleon." The PRINCE afterwards received the civil and military authorities and the clergy at his hotel, and then proceeded to a banquet given in his honour. Tne PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic drove out y esterd ay in an open carriage, without escort to view the statue of the EMPEROR in the Champs Elysees. In January last M. P.ROUDHON, then in prison, had been engaged by M. DE MORNY to assist the Govern ment, by writing in a weekly paper against the Jesuits. The following curious letter, published in the Journal de Geneve, confirms in substance the account of the interview with DE MORNY, and throws a curious light upon the motives which led the PRE SIDENT of the Republic to grant the permission of publishing his new work, which so astonished all Paris : "M. Proudhon's book has obtained: an extravagant amount of success. Imagine to yourself a big venison pasty arriving unexpectedly in the midst of a starving family, who for a fortnight before had had nothing but bread and water. The reader devours the piquant and highly- spiced morsels of the celebrated Socialist, but he is at a loss to explain to himself how, under this regime of ' warnings' under which we live, permission can have been given to publish a book in which all power, indivi dually and collectively, is scourged to the marrow, a book, moreover, in which Christianity is denied, and Atheism preached with a frightfully logical cynicism. I can relate an anecdote which perhaps will be to you. as it was to me, a ray of light. A little while after the 2nd December, I met one of my friends upon the Boulevards, who is now the principal editor of an Elysean journal in a large city, not in the north of France. 'Do you know the The Minister of the Interior,' said my friend, s ?' said he. ' What news?' I replied, '1 um all ear 'lsa: sent for Proadhon, who has been allowed to come M. Proudhon,' s a id M. d o M erely t o the cele out of St. Pelagic to have a private interview.' What S o cialist, ' we k now your talents, an d t h e P r i nce bt P hr r ea e nt s :d' President, who has read your works with interest, pro poses to himself the realisation of some of your ideas of progress; but we are at this moment overruled by the clerg y. The clergy, little grateful for what we have and to put th e a l tar on th e t o p o f t h a d on e for them, want to put the Capuchin's hood upon Would you be our aux ili ary , an d i n a j ournal, or in one o f thole pamphlets which you write so well, o perate a div ersion i n public opinion. The President is w illing to bo r easo nably religious, but he has no idea of mar ching at the tail of the Jesuits." That will suit me ,' said Prou dhon, in his off-hand way; `give me free us e of a print in g -orfi ea , and I will answer for the re s t.' On leaving th e Minister, M. Proudhon met one of his friends, to whom he narrated what h a d passe d , an d sa i d, ' I f they utharcre. PletrlY' of the ray of light, an d t h a t i t explainsl mutism, one man has ob tained how, in this the ni „ iv ., e ao the liberty I h ave asked for, I will not only b 3mas h the Pope, but I will carr y th em a ll a l ong way , all, w hoever they may be ____., Such as it iv I believe Veined permission to say what ho pleaser. You will, perhaps, make one objection. How is it, you will say, if there was an unders tanding with the Government, t h a t the Minist er of P olice prohibited the publication of t h e book, and t hat M. Proudhon was forced to apply to the Pres ident himself to overc ome the r esistance of his Minister?

The sales com prised 6,000 American, 50 Pernam and Maranham at 64d. to 6i3., 500 Egyptian at sid. to 10d., and 500 Surat at 30. to 48d. per lb.—Rniiway shares were dull at lower prices. By the ship Prince of Wales, arrived at Portsmouth, there are advices of May 8, from Sydney. This vessel has gold on board, but the amount is not yet ascertained. Ia the week previous to date there had arrived at Sydney from the " diggings" about 5,000 ounces. The total amount of gold obtained in New South Wales and Victoria since the gold discoveries were made was 3,654,3481. calculated at 65;. per ounce, and of this 160,000 ounces were supposed to be still at Melbourne and Sydney in private hands and at the banks. The accounts from the " diggings" were still. encouraging, and the rains that had fallen would facilitate operations. It was supposed the revenue of New South Wales would, ere long, be 1,000,0001. For gold seeking licenses alone as much as 46,1711. had been received in New South Wales, and 74,0791. in: Victoria. The number of persons ar rived at Sydney during the first year of the gold discoveries, the twelve months being considered to have expired in May, was 14,915, but 6,733 had left again, principally for Port Philip. The anniversary of Mr. Hargreave's public announcement of his discoveries had been celebrated at Bathurst by a dinner given to him. The latest prices paid for gold were 635. 6d. to 645. per ounce. Exchange in London for drafts against gold was at 8 per cent. discount and freight 8 per cent. Freight for Tallow was at 355. and 5 per cent., and for Wool id. to id. per lb. The Import_ market at Sydney was dull, except for fire-arms, brandy, canvass, and winter slops. The fate of Dr. Leichhardt is stated to have been ascertained. He is said to have been murdered, with all bis party, at the creek called Bunderabolla, 150 to 200 miles up the country. The party who gives this account verifies it with his name. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 16th inst., was buoyant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 64. Portuguese were higher, and Spanish in request.
