No 15,293 LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 18-11. PRICE 5d their prospective salarieL We are greatly puzzled to know the data upon which our Contemporary has come to the result he has announced; for if he had only fairly followed the rules of Coc'.ier -if he had taken the new Cabinet as a given nurnber:--if he had divided it, as it is doomed to be divided, by Ireland mid the Corn-laws--if he had multiplied by other embarrassments, added universal distrust, and. subtracted national confidence — ho had remembered that while some twenty or thirty go into place, there are necessarily about eight or nine times that number remaining over—he would, we think, by adopting all these arithmetical rules, come to the general result that twenty weeks is much inure likely than twenty years to lie the extent of existence enjoyed by, the Conservative Government. But. though, like the. witch in the fairy tale, we utter a fatal vedietion over the birth of the Tory Cabinet, we will atone for our malice by foretelling to the newly born Opposition a career of speedy success and perma nent prosperity. It is amusing to obierve the perti nacity with which the would-be-ministerial and hope to-be-official organs of the press are proclaiming the perfect unanimity of the Tory party, which is said to be in as compact a condition as any " bundle of sticks " within the dominions of her Majesty. We do not think it necessary to revert to the incipient differences taut have already begun to show them selves in Conservative quarters. We do not mean to pat on the back either of the litigant parties, in whom we are happy to observe the commencement of a large develupement of the organ of combativeness, which we trust, for the good of the nation, will ulti mately lead to the same e4traordinary result as that which attended the quarrell of the two Kilkenny cats, where the devouring of one by the other is said to have been quite reciprocal. The Irish disagreement among the Tories is only the beginning of the end—it is the first jarring note of the discord that is about to ensue, and we shall watch its progress With but trifling interest, because wu foresee the result almost with certainty. • the case of one house in particular, •the conduct of a Joint-Stork Bank has been visited with severe, though no doubt well-merited,. censure in the com mercial walks ; nor is it to be believed that the pre ference which the Directors have endeavoured to secure for it (the bank) over the rest of the creditors will at all compensate for the loSs of reputation which, in the eyes of • upright men of business, it has in curred by the unjustifiably selfish course tiny have thought proper to take. The suspended house in question had from the bank a large cash ad vance, and was induced unadvisedly to give a j udgnwtit bond, by way of contingent or collateral security. for its reimbursement. This powerful instrument, fln• the re covery of meneys,has been put in force, it appears, :n a manner, and at a time, when there was subjected to its operation a large amount of propertypurchased in the ordinary way of business upon the credit of the borrow ing firm, and the consequence now is, that what was ac quired in an open and straithforward manner for the le gitimate purposes of trade, is rendered available filt the bank alone, while the general creditors upon the estate are left utterly without resources. A knowledge of what had transpired in this case being obtained—for the facts could not long remain a secret—confidence in such other connections of the bank referred to, who either are, or may be suspected of being, in a similar position, is ne cessarily shaken. Attempts are in the meanwhile making to upset the proceeding complained of ; and there is reason to hope that something may, in the end, be ac complished. The only foreign intelligence is from Port Philip, but the news had been anticipated by previous arrivals. the engine was not going faster than 14 miles an hour, and he did not think more than twelve. He got the break fast down. They stopped the engine in less than 140 yards after witness saw the horse. They could not have stopped it in that short distance had they been travelling at a greater speed. He had measured the dis tance. The engine weighed about thirteen tons ; the tender (half full of water), five tons, and the waggons averaged 43 cwts. each. When the engine stopped, witness and the engineer got off; and ran to the station to give assistance. The first person lie saw was the de ceased. ' He was about flirty yards from the station be tween the two rails on which the waggon had travelled. Ile was lying on his face. Witness got hold of him. He was not quite dead, but senseless. His foot ap peared dreadfully mangled. Witness thought he had no chance to survive, and left him to attend to the other coach passengers. It appeared to witness that the deceased had fallen from the coach between the buffers and chains, and then to have fallen (after being dragged some distance) upon the rails. When witness returned to the station he found the frag ments of a coach in front of the building. There was also the seat of a coach on one of the waggons, and a coach wheel on the buffer on the hinder part of the en gine. The tender was before the engine. Witness saw the grey horse very distinctly. There was no breaks- • man on the waggons. The horses were afterwards found on the centre of the railway, between the two lines. The deceased was between the two rails leading to Wigan. Witness saw no flag hoisted, or any man or anything about the station. The whistle was not sounded when they saw the•horse. The steam was very low. The re gulations of the Company do not require engineers to sound the whistle on passing Euxton station. Witness knew that an engine could be seen from the turnpike road full fifty yards. Mr. Charles Edward Paton deposed that he resided in Manchester, and was engaged in the Manchester trade as a manufacturer. On Tuesday he came by coach fromßaw linscr station. He sat on the box seat. Just as we got on the, railway line the coachman said, " Who the devil has left the gate open ?" Witness, turned round. and saw a train advancing. Witness said, "We are all dashed to pieces," and in an instant he felt the shock. He rememhered nothing more. He had spectacles on, and, being ne..tr-sighted, he did not notice any gates. It was raining, but witness did not carry an umbrella. He had not seen the engine or heard the steam before he got to the 'station, and he heard the coachman make the remark. The engine was then ten or fifteen yards from them. Witness did not see the concussion, as it was on the coachman's side. The engine was coming down the line towards the conch. The coach was drawn by three horses, the first of which was an iron-grey. When the coachman spoke the first horse was on the line. Witness cannot tell whether the coachman endeavoured to stop the horses. One lady behind witness carried an umbrella in such a way as to obstruct the coachman's view of the railway. Witness did not think that in case the coach man had pulled Up when he saw the engine the acci dent would have been avoided. It was a wet drizzling morning.

HERALD.—Recent advices from the Isthmus of Pa nama communicate a decree passed there by the pro visional legislative commission of the state for the re gulation of the receipt and transit of correspondence. which it may be of some utility to the mercantile com munity interested, not only in the trade of that portion of the republic of New Granada, now however separated from it, for a time at least, by its, declaration of inde pendence, but,i4 that of Peru, Bolivia, the Ecuador and Chili, to make public. Article I of this decree statcs that all letters and pac:wts which shall be brought from tin-eign countries 9r from New Granada into the isthmus, for any point of the isthmus, must be deposited by the party so bringing them in the post-office of the port of ar riVal. From this regulation, however, letters brought open are excepted. By Article 2 it is decreed that all letters or packets destined from the one ocean to the other in transit for foreign countries may be despatched at choice in any other way than by the Government post, without its being necessary to present them to the post-offiers of the State; and in such case they will be exempt from the post-office charges. By Article 3it is enacted that no letters, &c.. deposited in the post-offices to be despatched on account of the Government, shall be so despatched unless pre-paid to the opposite coast. Ar ticle 4 provides that in resrect of correspondence for warded in terms of Article 2, the post-office administration Charged with the receipt of the letters which may have been transmitted by other parties from one coast of the isthmus to the other, shall deliver theM to the captains of vessels according to the different places of destination.

A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti mable ply .nt, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri fies and t leanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invige- rates' the constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea, heartt urn ; and in all cases of indigestion, headache, stomachic, bilious, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is personallr: superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense sale in ihe lot ality of his residence is the best proof of its efficacy. A ,scientific and laborious research far the benefit of a private prAient and valued feend led to its discovery ; its wonderfu I propeities induced the Proprietor to extend its salo for the benefit of the afflicted., Without ; descending to the quackery of saying it is a cure for all disorders, yet the virtues a the camomile are so skit fnlly extra cted and combined with other invaluable medica ments, a , , :o render it the most perfect remedy discovered for the above disorders. . .

A sM anhood approaches, the human f orm , coun ... tens nee, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra pidly undcrg o a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after ; mage of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure arid virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and i.njurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by a' "emotions of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated whic h should have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in an d rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the Pangs of Immo rse, disappointed hope, and disease; anal we pledge ourselves to es adicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to ita. wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, *lather from t his or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have tiv: ome impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling envy ricinm, which with reckless ignorance destroys where ti should re store ; and, c n the other hand, that unworthy " pine ple" whose proud selfishn.us increases the embarrassment ofithe afflicted All classes of society, the AnglA-Indian particulnly, and those whose constitutions are enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as e Ilas such as are about to enter int matrimoohl life, are Included in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the result of many years' successful practice.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first apper.rance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial a•Pd well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular shrgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devotes! themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so d o i n g, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be aequired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lun g s, p uttin g o n all the outer app earances o f ehfi however, w h en traced to their source,consumptiom certain ba ne f u l practices, fully proves are that u he found principleto 'u resulti n he the division of labour, i s nowhere more applicable than in medical p ractice.

CHRONICLE.—EarI de Grey and Lord Eliot are on the point of departing for the Irish coast. Does Sir Robert Peel still flatter himself that there are slot breakers a-head? or does he trust that the skill of his new pilot will save the ship from striking ? The storm, as we said on Wednesday, is coming, ansi Lord Eliot NVill not weather it. - The new Irish Secretary is a moderate and impartial man, possessed of considerable ability ; and his habits of business, so far as they are concerned, eminently fit him for his new position. We repeat what: we have already said, that the appointment was one es little objectionable as Sir Robert Peel could have made. But for this reason precisely Lord Eliot cannot keep .his footing as • the Irish SeCretary of a Tory Administra tion. The Dublin Evening Mail is not the organ of a few " ultra impracticables." It is not the Journal of the " vagabonds," to borrow Sir Robert Peel's pithy epithet, who-waved their Orange banner over the head of the Earl; of Haddington, and who will wave it again over the head of Earl De . Grey. The Mal is the ac credited organ of the " Protestants of Ireland." It has more influence than all the other Orange :,ournals put together. It is the organ of the parsons, the magistracy, the landlords; representing the Boytons and O'Sulli vans, the' Nixons, the Rodens, and the Charlevilles. It is identified with the- views, feelings, and proceedings of the Right Hon. Frederick Shaw, the same who we observe is now honoured with daily interviews by Sir Robert Peel. By • the Thiblin Evening Mail, then, is Lord Eliot • fiercely denounced to the Protestants of Ireland. The Standard ' says Lord Eliot is denounced, be cause Sir Robert Peel S has not given places to a 'sufficient number of 'the leaders of the Irish Pro testants. Be it so. We are not disposed to question the fact—certainly not when we have it upon such authority. It is only - fair, however, that those who are thus accused should be heardin their own defence. Lord Eliot, says the Standard to the Protestants of Ireland— short-1-E het is a marvellous p rop eas Min - to. discharge ties functions of Irish Seer-._!tary. Take hint upon our assur- . ante. " It is enoagh to know that he is candid, generous, and clear-headed ; such a man will not fail to do justice to Irish Protestants, if only they will do justice to themselves, by trusting him, and respectfully acting by his advice." Take Lord Eliot upon your a:surance ! re torts s the Irish Protestant organ. 'We will ; but not upon yoiw present assurance. Now you have a purpose to serves, Now you are the abetter of Sir Robert Peel in' his attempt " to sell" the Protestants of Ireland. You charge us with " personal motives which imply . , base ness. Were we inclined to retort, p e rh a p s we might do so effectually. It is not the honeit dog, which by night barks at the stranger who approaches his master's house with nothing in his hand to give, and fawns upon hint when he comes with a sop." go ; if the Standard's character of Lord Eliot is to be his passport to the Protestants of Ireland, let ix be the character given when the motive of the Standard was above suspicion. , TIMES.—In filling up the numerous offices which usually become vacant upon a complete change of Mi nistry, Sir R. Peel has had the good fortune, not merely tesoccasion no whisper of offence, either among friends or foes, but to give a degree of general satisfaction, rather uncommon, we should think, in his peculiar circumstances. We say . this, • to the credit of all parties, without exception. As •far as regards . the Eight Honourable Baronet himself, the invidiousness almost inseparable from the necessity of giving a pre ference where numerous claims appear to be nearly equal has been successfully got rid of by the perfect rectitude and single-mindedness which have governed . him throughout ; while, with reference to the immense body of able men from among whom a selection was to be made, we give them no ordinary praise when we say, that without the slightest dispa ragement having been felt by any one or them, their competing pretensions have been placed at Sir Robert's dispoSal with precisely the generous devotedness most conducive to the public service, and least likely to em barrass him in completing his official arrangements. Nor must we omit to acknowledge what is really due to our political opponents. Powerless though they be, for any effective resistance to the Conservative Premier, the impotent and factious hostility with which their loss of -office is so apt to engender against their successors has, in the present case, been volun tarily restrained, or -very partially exhibited. Never, perhaps, was less discontent shown on any similar Oc casion. The allegation that any particular office has been filled up with an incompetent or unmeritorious per son has never once been made. To suppose that there are no vindictive and rankling resentments among the discarded Whigs were to expect too much from human infirmity ; yet, though we are far from imputing to them any watchful querulousness that might not equally have attached to, their supplanters in similar circumstances, not a public murmur have they ventured to utter. If a Conservative Government must needs be- formed, the universal conviction seems to be that the appointments of Sir Robert Peel are, upon the whole, invulnerable. POST.—Soirie observations which we made a few days ago upon the unreasonableness of trying the ,corn-law question upon merely mercantileprinciPles,haVe attracted the critical attention of .more than one - of our Whig- Radic7al Contemporaries. We should be happy to dis cuss the point with them if they would really discuss it ; but we beg leave to demur to the convenience or conclu siveness of an answer which, when analsyed, amounts to simple contradiction. For instance, when we say that the principles of free trade, however valuable in their own sphere, are not so valuable that higher considera tions than they involve should give way to them, we ' think it no fair answer to be told that free trade prin ciples are the paramount principles in the policy of this nation. If they are, then they should give way to nothing ' • but we deny that they are, and mere as sertion will not convince us that we are wrong. When we advance reasons for thinking that in certain cases re straints upon trade are rendered necessary upon grounds' of general policy, we deem it no satisfactory answer to be peremptorily told that all restraint upon trade must be injurious; and may be destructive. If it must be so, why then we must be wrong ; but " must " goes for very little with us, when unaccompanied by any reason. When we say that reasons quite apart frolta mercantile consider ations—such as the employment of the people, security for a future supply of food, and protection of capital em barked in other than purely mercantile speculations— should influence the rulers of the State, we think it no satisfactory answer to tell us that these which we have ; enumerated are mercantile considerations. If they be, 1 they are not reasons apart from mercantile considerations, and we are wrong; but mere - assertion, as we said before, will not convince us that we are wrong. HERALD.—The more we reflect on the subject of the Corn-laws the stronger do our objections become to a fixed duty. In dear years it would be oppressive to the poor; while in cheap years it would afford no protec tion to the agriculturist. We are firmly convinced that a fixed duty of Bs. a quarter on wheat would be ruinous to all gradations of the landed interest, and would equally injure the prosperity of the lord of thousands of acres, and the comfort of the hind; while the sudden change froin the sliding scale to a permanent tax would in flict undreamt-of mischief on every branch of , trade and commerce. Such an unexpected and unprepared for alteration would unhinge the business of every merchant and petty chapman in the empire, and would throw into confusion every class of the dealers in money. The disadvantages of every sudden change are notorious and palpable ; we demonstrate the necessity of their oc currence by the experience of the past. The majority of us recollect the misery produced by even the cautious and long-warned return to cash payments ; but the effects of new regulations as to the supply of the prime necessary of life must far exceed in magnitude, be it for evil or Toed, a partial amendment of the mone tary system. 'While, then, the evils of a sudden al teration of these laws may be said to be ascertained, any ultimate beneficial results to be derived therefrom can only be tested by the change itself ; and, upon a mere calculation of probabilities, the more rational course appears I to be, that the acknowledged ills of the fluctuating scale of duties should be attempted to be mitigated, rather than that we should " fly to others that we know not of." The Corn-laws are at all times a most perplexing subject, because on them the public mind is, nay, even the foremost of our statesmen are, only half informed. It is impossible to read or listen to a discus sion on those laws in the most enlightened assembly without at once perceiving that many important elements relating thereto are omitted or unknown ; that the speakers have no chance of arriving at a common con ch:l6Sn; because they do not start from the same pre mises and recognize the same facts ; that however anxious they may be to get at the truth, their anxiety is useless, because they have not agreed on what shall con stitute its standard. ADVERTISEIL—When a nation is desirous of ef fecting some great change in the character of her poli tical or social condition, it is evident she is so near the epoch of revolution that all that is necessary is to give audible expression to her volition. If England be sincere —and who can doubt it ?—in her protestations against the Corn-laws, let her at once put forth a united fiat from the lips of her millions, and their abolition is ac complished. Driven to .an extremity, it were absurd to ectheir speak of the p ower o f any m i n i stry aga i nst the force of a wholetinthe .. peeoo people ownle e. theln who have ac hi eve d any national change ; it is always on ul ti Therem a t sl are y periodsre c oi l recoils of e f fwhen form nose their prescribed value, an d l oo k t h e inani ties they r ea ll y a re. legislation. nsi When we reflect on the present distracted condition of this country, we confess, not withstanding the• f ac t o f a P ee l Cabinet, supported' as it is by a landlord's Parliament, that we see in things the signs of a speedy regeneration. In support of our view, we deem it merely necessary to point to the state of the manufacturing districts. Will the strength of any Go vernment enable it to stare the misery there confronting it in the face,. and . persevere in measures tending to a prolongation of that misery ? Is any one so deluded as to think that the most strenuous efforts of Toryism —the callous -hearted schemes of the Duke of Buckingham, glozed over though they may be by the specious sophisin of the grand conjuror Sir Robert Peel—will indeed be able to stave off the demands of millions wild with all o long ago a . s the ra n ks hatefulbeen b S e t n u t ar u t n d d y e I : the horrors of want and st arvat i on ?

' GLOBE. —The Times takes t wenty years as the pro bable duration of the Conservative Ministry, while ' we should be sorry to give much more than twenty weeks' •purchase. to the present holders of office for the whole of StANDAIW.-s-Albeitslaslonnch eceustomed to any coiiiihuiiitrirfanng with the Whiesißadicirlrpastsy,' we must at the moment sympathise. with the resentment pro- Velsed by Sir Robert Peel's taciturnity as to his proposed financial arrangements. It would be the most convenient thing in the world for, us, who must write upon some topic six days of the, week, to have questions of so much interest as the arrangement necessarily involves to pull to pieces or to re- compose according to fancy, and to anticipate their fate in Parliament. As it is, the' Whig-Radical journals have a decided advantage over us : they have a Ministry to abuse. For us, our game has been run downH the slain vermin affords no more sport. "Execution has been done upon Cawdor," and " we war not with the dead." Doubtless we have before us those two pro mising topics, the Corn-laws and the wrongs of the O'Connellites—topics that seem to be now as little capable of exhaustion as they were 25 years ago, when "Mr. Moore pleasantly and prophetically sung of " Eternal Cern and Catholics ;" thus proving his double title to the name of Vuts . . But the themes that never end are not always the " themes that never tire." We and our readers are threatened with enough of " Corn and Catholics" for the rest of our lives, and we may all like a little rest from them for the remaining five days of the recess. We say that " Corn and Catholics" are to haunt us for the rest of our lives, and we say it upon the evidence of experience. Twelve years ago " the Catholic question" was, we were told, set at rest for ever, and here we have it at the end of the twelve years as fresh and green as in its infancy at the end of the last century. Mr. O'Connell would have a trope upon the last epithet. We invite his attention to it. If, then, the Catholic question has for twelve years sur vived the time when, if it had been a decent and reason able sort of Catholic question, it ought to have " parted in peace," why may not the Corn question mani;estla like perverse vivaciousness ? Analogy tells us that if the Corn-laws were absolutely repealed in 1841, we must still expect " a Corn question" in 1853 it may be in the shape of a proposed penalty upon the growth of wheat, or a bounty upon the import of foreign grain, or perhaps a disfranchisement of the agricultural classes, for which, indeed, their condition of universal pauperism, after 12 years, or much less, of a free corn trade, will afford a very sufficient reason. The corn question and the Catholic question come of a family too long-lived for any of the existing generation to hope to survive them — they are the children of perverse rapacity and factious discontent ; the parents are all but immortal, and it is to be feared that such will prove the progeny. COURlER.—Numerous and vast were the difficulties which the overheated imagination of faction had con jured tip; as the unavoidable accompaniments of Sir Robert Peel's accession to power.; but of all, the chief and greatest was Ireland.. " What can Sir Robert Peel do with Ireland" was the ques tion with which Whig-Radicals of every class de • lighted to puzzle, if not affright their opponents. " Displace the Whigs—rob Ireland of so precious a trea sure as she esteems the Whig Government to be, and you will first agonise her with grief and then convulse her 'with rebellion." Beware of Ireland, was their constant cry; she requires a strictly impartial Government," as the condition of her allegiance to the British Crown—and that you, surrounded as you are with red hot Orangemen, cannot offer or guarantee her. Well, like all the other vast difficulties, that presented by Ireland is no sooner approached than it is found to have dwindled down into the merest insignificance ; Ire land presents to a Conservative Administration no peculiar danger or difficulty whatever. Well, Ireland shares the fate of the rest of the empire. Thursday last saw the final extinction of her darling Whig Govern ment ; and yet as we learn from our Irish Contempora ries, she continues as geen and as gay and her people as blithesome, and loyal as ever. The procession which con ducted EarlFortescue to the grave of his Vice-regal autho rity is described to us as a most melancholy one in every sense of the term ; the mourners were lamentably few, the mere hangers-on about Dublin CaStle, but their grief was unaffectedly profound. No more job-appoint ments-is-no more showering of places of emolument and trust on hungry - Whig Barristers, to the exclusion of the worth and eminence of the profession—no more lip denunciation of repeal and soothing rewards for re pealers. Was not this sufficient to convulse Ireland from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear ? and yet despite all these incentives to grief and avenge ment she seems wonderfully placid and tranquil. One thing we may, therefore, safely predicate—there will be no rebellion in Ireland this time. A heavy blow and great discouragement that to the prophets of the "Whig press, RS to the leaders of the threatened opposition. Ireland, it now appears certain, as far as the opponents of his Government are concerned, has ceased to be a formidable difficulty in Sir Robert Peel's path ; nay, their tone has recently been greatly modified ; they no longer speak of. his Government in the furious accents of de fiance—and such are his Irish - appointments, that even Mr. O'Connell himself, with all his ingenuity and all his unscrupulousness, can scarcely find cause to quarrel with them. The moment we were assured of Earl de Grey's appointment to the Viceroyship, and of Lord Eliot's to the 'Secretaryship, the confidence we before felt, that a Conservative Government had nothing to fear as regarded Ireland, was strengthened into conviction. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The London weekly average price of corn was fixed to-day at 765. 9d., being a decline of sd. per quarter compared with the previous week ending the 31st ultimo. Some doubts are entertained whether the averages for the next six weeks will reach 735. per quar ter, so as to admit foreign corn for home consumption at the minimum duty of Is. ; but " the trade" are all eager for, and many of them confident of, the event. The. estimate trade, that further supplies to the extent of, 1,500,000 quarters of corn from abroad will yet fbe re-.. quired is strengthened by the opinions we have heard,, to-day of the probable yield and quality of the present harvest. The samples of the new wheats are of an in ferior colour, and of considerably less weight on an aver age than those of the crop of 1840. • The operation of the system of averages mut now be generally well un derstood. It must be seen that they are the cause of milieus fluctuations in prices—inherently gambling and s euplariteive ofo ein f p o r c iLiciple—and that they greatly enhance the g to-day body,.f rom th e TIMES.—The metal brokers held a meetindisclaimingand yesterday for the purpose of disclaiming any impli cation complaint that noticedm ig ht thebe cast otherond t a h y e m u n as s e r this head, that a the broker had been known to make large profits in ad dition to his brokerage, by the practice of concealing the name of his principal. On their part, we are informed, that they utterly repudiate the notion of concealing a principal's name for the sake of increased profit, and that if such occurrences have actuall y taken place in the trade, they fully concur in stig mati zing them as wrong, acted to re acts,, and to ilowhiletildthielyavcea.neasbtutstriesgpTioeitonthaotn th a e lawchtosle body.

This is an usage, and many honourable -, men .act 'under i t as an -usage, without entertaining the slightest notion of departing from the legitimate business of a broker, and in some instances it is only by the special consent of the teller that it is adopted. But it is unfortunate that the habit of concealment opens the way for an opportunity of fraud, and when a system itself is vicious, -:if any abuse should take place under it, the parties who act by that system, although they may not have perverted it to wrong purpOSeS, will frequently find suspicion fall upon them. A correspendent complains that our remarks on, this Subject may even injure those brokers who insert the names of their principals. This is an obvious ..mis take, for it is. impossible that a . statement of the evils that arise from concealing the principal can in the slightest degree affect those who act without conceal ment of any kind. POST.—The advices we continue to receive of the state of affairs in the manufacturing distri c t s are far from encouraging: - Several failures have again taken place at Liverpool and Manchester, but, after the nume rous irregularities brought to light in connection with the trading and banking operations o• f that part of the country, they have not excited anything. like the .sur prise they would formerly have done ; and yet the amounts inv&sed are by no means insignificant. In The Parliamentary debates during the past week have been still on the taxing projects of the Government. A Bill for revoking the decree of the 16th of January, 1837, whereby a bounty, or differential duty of 15 per cent., was granted in favour of the national flag, occu pied three sessions, and its principle was admitted after a very stormy debate on Saturday by a majority of 36 votes, 74 members only being present. The Mer • cantile Association of Lisbon presented a petition nume rously signed against this revocation, and a deputation from this body waited upon the Opposition ; others of the same tendency were sent from Oporto, Caminha, Fi guera, Lagos, and St. Übes, whilst one respectably, though less numerously signed, praying for its annul ment, was. got up by some merchants of this city, and also presented to the Legislative Assembly. To-day will commence • its discussion by sections ; and it is thought an amendment, proposed by M. Oliveira Borges, to lower the rate of duty from 15 to 8 per cent. is likely to be approved of, notwithstanding the known objection. of Government to such a measure. Ministers have presented a plan to the Cortes for the re-organiza tion of the National Guard, which is to be composed of two divisions, active and stationary ; in the first, to be enlisted, under a certain census or payment of taxes, persons from the age of twenty to forty years, and the second, of from forty to sixty. The officers are to be chosen by the Government from among those who, from the elections of their comrades may have a superiority of votes. Upon some question arising. in the Chambers the to the alarming increase of th e Guerillas in the Algarve, and their maintaining a serious political character, lately augmented by Miguelite parti sans from Lisbon as well as Italy, the Ministers of War and Foreign Atiairs, in admitting this fact, stated the want of military force, and more especially the means for car• rying on any further active operations. The latter Mi nister also mentiored, that the • Spanish Envoy at this Court had made, by order of his Government, an offer of troops' to co-operate for the extirpation of these ban dits, who infest both countries indiscriminately. Two regiments, the 7th Infantry and 2d Cacadores, are about, it is said, to march this garrison for the Alemtejo. A few days since, two daring marauders, brothers, Antonio de Mello and Joie de Mello, were mortally wounded in an intrepid resistance in. Monte das Assumados against a detachment of the Queen's troops. Contrary to general expectation the Marquis de Sal danha will, in a very short time, proceed to Vienna as Plenipotentiary to the Austrian Coart; The Noble Mar quis goes via Madrid, intrusted with a secret mission for that Government, which, it is understood, is to endeavour to prevail upon it to do away with the strong Spanish Cordou so recently stationed on the frontiers to prevent British goods being passed into Spain. The launching of the line-of-battle ship Vasco da Gama on the 2d instant, at which their Majesties and Court attended, afforded an interesting spectacle. The French war corvette Idianna and the British brig, Es poir came up, and anchored off the arsenal, in which place, as well as on the river, thousands of individuals assembled. The novelty of such, an event (not often oc curring in Lisbon), together with the anxiety of all classes to render Alt to this new ocean child, produced a scene which for brilliancy and effect is not often witnessed here upon such occasions. Her Majesty the Queen' .has been graciously pleased to decorate Lieut. Poison, com manding the Espoir, with the order of Cavalleiro of the Tower and Sword Loyalty and Merit ; and two Lieute nants of the French corvette Coquette, with the order of Christ, for their efficient services rendered at_ the fire on the 2d ult. at the Thesouro Velho. On Monday last sentence of death was passed upon the hideous assassin, Francisco de Mallas Lab°, who, however, has yet two appeals, one to the Court of Ces sation (Relacao), the other to the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ; his execution is therefore not likely to take place for some time to come.

On Thursday morning, at ten o'clock, a highly re spectable Jury met at the Railway Hotel, Euxton, to in quire touching the death of the Rev. Robert Ivy. Richard Paltrier, Esq., of Preston, presided as Coroner. The ReV. Giles Hoyle, Independent Minister, of :StaYley-bridge, deposed that he knew .the deceased. ' He was an Independent Minister, and resided in Ducken- Ile was about fifty-five years of age. Robert Sergeant, labourer, of Euxton, deposed that the was, employed on the railway. On Tuesday, at a .littre,befOre one o'clock, he was going going to his work. Jale was about 200 yards from the station at Euxton, on the Preston side, when an engine, drawing a number of empty waggons, passed by him towards the station, and directly after he heard a tremendous smash. He had not heard any whistle before he heard the smash. Witness turned back to the station•house, and when he got there he saw Thomas Nixon, the keeper of the station, lying down against the wall on his side. His foot was almost off. There was an old man, named John Arnold, lying a few paces fram the station door. Witness also saw two more people four or five yards front him, and a woman much hurt near them. He also saw a gentleman lying dead some distance front the line. Witness also noticed the pieces of a coach—it was smashed all to bits. He had not seen the coach be ! fore. . Some of the fragments were in the middle of the road, and part on the, pavement alongside. One horse was in the road dead about ten yards from the station. Another was lying a considerable distance further down the line towards Wigan. The engine stopped opposite to where the last hone laid. The engineer's name is George Holland. When the engine passed witness it was going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, the usual speed. One of the horses was betwixt the two lines of rails, and the other was fast upon a break on the Eux ton side of the railway. Witness passed the gates about four minutes before the accident ; he could not sax whe ther they were closed. He did not see any flag'flying, or any person at the sation. The engine was travelling ' , tender first. The engineer had a good deal of steam up, and a considerable quantity issued from the chim ney. It was raining very hard, and the morning was rather misty. When witness was at the gates he did not see or hear any engine coming. They can generally when on the line hear the engines when two or three miles distant. Mr. James Johnson deposed that he was agent to Mr. Pearson, of the colliery at Snee. On Tth!sday, at a little before one o'clock, witness was on the tender of the Asa engine. There were seven empty waggons attached ' to the .engine. They, with the engine, were the pro perty of Messrs. Thomas Pearson and Co. Witness acted as breaksman to the engine. They . were travelling on the North Union line towards Wigah. When within thirty or forty yards from the Euxton station7gates. witness observed a grey horse with his 'fore-feet about the middle of the two lines of rails. It appeared to witness that the horse was floundering, as if it could not get on. Witness could not see the coach on account of the excavation. The engineer called out, " My God, Johnson, here is the coach !" Witness put the break on, and the engineer reversed the motion of the engine instantly. His name is George Holland, Wit ness . was greatly confused. He thought they would be all lost together. He could not recoiled what 'occurred after ', wards until the engine was stopped. lie is positive TAMWORTII, EIGHT O'CLOCK, FRIDAY EVENING. This evening a meeting of Sir Robert Peel's Election Committee was held at the King's Arms Hotel, when the following answer to the address from the electors of Tamworth to the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel was read by the Chairman, Thoniaa Bramall, Esq. : " Whitehall, Sept. 9, 1841. " Sir—l have had the honour of *eceiving the address to which your name is attached, conveying to me on the part of a very great majority of the electors of Tamworth their cordial congratulations on my recent appointment to the first office in her 11Iajesty's Government, and the expression of their desire to renew their confidence in me as their representative without requiring my per sonal attendance on the occasion of the approaching election.

" ROBERT PEEL. " To the Mayor of Tatnworth." WOO LW IC H, FRIDAY. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS. A few days ago, as the Royal Sappers and Miners from Chatham were exercising with pontoons on the river Medway, near Rochester - bridge, private Samuel Turner accidentally fell overboard, and being unable to swim, would have been inevitably drowned - had not private Henry Entwisle of the same corps, at the peril of his own life, plunged into the river to rescue him. From the great force of the stream it was the surprise of all present that both the men were not lost, but owing to the intrepidity and courage of Entwisle, who was a good swimmer, he managed to keep himself above water, and to retain a firm hold of the drowning man until a boat came to his aid and delivered both from their hazardous situation. Such praiseworthy conduct should not pass unrewarded by the Humane Society, instituted for the purpose of compensating in some degree those indivi duals who risk their own lives to save their fellow-crea tures. In this case ~t he corps to which Entwisle belongs might very appropriately show him some mark of their esteem by granting him some military reward as an en couragement to others under similar circumstances.

SUICIDE AND DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE. On Saturday morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, a fearful accident, attended with circum stances of an extraordinary nature, occurred on the river near Southwark-bridge, by which four persons lost their lives. It appears that the Orion, a large iron steamer which runs between London and Ipswich, and the Pearl, a Gravesend steamer, were moored near Southwark bridge yesterday evening, after discharging their pas sengers, and soon afterwards several persons be longing to both, vessels went ashore to spend the evening at the George public-house, Bankside, and play at skittles. They were accompanied by a person named John Clementson, residing at No. 2, Eagle-street, Ipswich. who possesses an indepen dent income of about 20n/. a year, and was in the habit of voyaging between London and Ipswich for the benefit of his health. Clementson, who was the cause of the loss of life which subsequently took place, appeared in a very low and desponding state, and told his friends to acquaint a female at Ipswich, when they returned, that she would never sec Robert any more. At a later hour he procured some laudanum, and swallowed a small quantity of the drug, which his companions prevented taking effect by giving him emetics, brandy, and other liquids. At half-past one o'clock Clementson and six others, four of wh o m belonged to the Pearl, and two to the Orion, proceeded to Bankside stairs, op positee the Welch Trooper public-house, where the Pearl's boat was lying, for the purpose of re . tu h rn , i n n s f ie t i o i their vessels.

The following article on the above subject from the Revue des Deux Monde:, will be interesting to many of our readers : " The attention of Europe is now more than ever interested in the means to be emploved to prccure a rapid communication between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean across the Isthmus of Suez. If a canal navigable for steam-boats were to be cut across the Isthmus the passage from Marseilles, or London to Bombay, might be accomplished in from 36 to 45 days, and if, instead of a canal railroad were established, the voyage would be accomplished in as short a time, since the time necessarily lost in transhiptnent would be compensated by the rapidity of the passage across the Isthmus. Unfortunately some. time will elapse before the conflicting iutercsts which contend for the posses sion of this corner of the glebe, will permit the de cision of the question between these two :nodes of corn : munication, which would give such an impulse to the commerce of the old Continent. " Waiting this much-to-be-desired result, it may not be uninteresting to take a review of what was done by the ancients in regard to this communication, of which they felt the great importance. Th It they have at dif ferent epochs attempted its execution .ca :not be denied, for the testimonies of their historians would suffice to 'establish the fact even when all vestiges of what they did accomplish have been destroyed. With regard, however, to the result of their endeavours, opinions are at variance . Some doubt that a regulAr communica tion by means of a navigable canal existed before the Arabs, whilst others formally deny that the canal, which was cut at different periods, was any other than a canal for the purpose of irrigation. " The isthmus which separates the two seas is not more than 120,000 metres between Suez and the shore to the north of Faramah, near the ancient Pelusia ; and as the waters of the gulf rise about 5,000 metres on the average, the minimum of distance between the two extreme points is from 117,000 to 118,000 metres, or about 26 leagues, of 2e to a degree. " The soil of the isthmus is a little elevated above the seas which border it ; and is distinguished from the rest of Egypt by the absence of all verdure, habitations, or spring water. " This space of 26 leagues may be divided into three different parts : the first is a sandy bank, which sepa rates the bottom of the Gulf from the basin which was called by the ancients the " Bitter Lakes ;" the second is formed by this basin, the depth of which is not less than from 25 to 30 metres (about 90 feet English) and the bottom of which is consequently much below the level of the two seas on either side of the isthmus ; the third part is a sandy Blain, which extends from the upper extremity of this basin, which is now dry, and which plain abuts on the Mediterranean. " It is towards the extremity of the' Bitter Lakes' that terminates a large val!ey bearing the names of Tonrnilat and Sabah-Byar, which comes at a right angle from the Delta, commencing near the ancient Pelusiac branch. This valley, which has been cultivated from time immemorial, and which is believed to be the Land of Goshen,' inhabited by the Hebrews during their so journ in Egypt, receives the waters of the Nile by a branch which opens near Bubastus. " The junction betweea the Mediterranean and the Red Sea may, therefore, be effected in two ways, either directly from Suez to Peluses by a canal cut in the mountainous ridge between Suez and the Bitter Lakes, then by the basin of these lakes, and then by a second canal from their extremity to the Mediterranean ; or indirectly, by the assistants of the Nile, profiting by the valley of Sabah-Byar and joining the extremity of the Bitter Lakes' by a canal abutting on a point of the Pelusiac branch or a little below the point of the Delta. " It is the latter of these two plans that was adopted by the ancients. They never thought of forming a direct communication, which, however, would have been the easiest, and which at least would have given them a continuous navigation, whilst the course they pur sued gave them only a temporary navigation, depeudent on the inundation of the river. They had, however, in their opinions, excellent reasons for adopting the plan they did, and which were as follow : "In the first place there was a necessity for their causing the Delta to profit by this grand communica tion, for one of the principal objects of the undertak ing was the exportation of its products to Arabia, and it was therefore necessary to forma communication with a branch of the nver. " A second reason was the impossibility of estab!ish ing a durable port on the coast of Pelusia, an only on account of the disposition of the coast, but becausa of the existence of a coetenual current from we t to east along the whole coast of Africa—a current which brought with it the mud of the Nile, which would soon cboke up any harbour formed to the eastward of the mouths of that river. The existence of this Cu: rent is one of the causes of the extreme slowness of the ad vancement of the Delta in the Mediterranean. " The third reason which influenced the choice of the ancients was the opinion that the level of the Red Sea was higher than that of the Mediterranean. This difference is now established by accurate observation to be about feet. 'This difference is one of the most singular facts which the physique of the globe offers to our notice. The cause of it is not yet known, but it has given rise to various sneee lations. Whatever may be the cause the fact is un doubted, and the communication betweea the two seas is attended with inconveniences which doubtless were not lost upon the ancients. The effect of such a dif ference in the level would cause a current which would soon enlarge the canal, and, rushing with force towards the Mediterranean, would rise its level, the first effect of which would be the flooding of the lower parts of the Delta." [The author, going into a long detail of the various proceedings of the ancients in the formation of the canal of communication at different periods, concludes as follows:-1 ''The cane! thus formed remained choked up with sand unt.l the conquest of Egypt, in the year 640 of our era. The testimony of various Arab authors give circumstantial details of the establishment of his communication by order of Caliph Omar. The canal was executed anew, from Fostbath (the ancient Cairo), that is to say, the canal of Tra jan was resumed, which, according to Ptolemy, commenced at Babylon. In less than a years, say the authors, boats laden with grain arrived at Quol zoum, and carried abundance into the markets of Mecca and Mediae. The canal was thus restored to the original purpose to which it was devoted by Pto lemy-Philadelphe. The navigation was carried on without interruption until the reign of Caliph Al-Man zor, who ordered it to be filled up in order to prevent a supply of provisions being carried by it to Moham med-Beo-Abdoulab, who was in revolt against him (in 762 to 767). It bad thus only endured from 122 to 127 years, and was never afterwards restored. " The question now is, whether it is possible to re sume the works of the ancients and the Arabs, and to re-establish the navigation by the same means which they had followed. There can be no doubt of it, since the conditions are at present more favourable than they formerly were, the waters of the Nile have risen con siderably since those days. It has been calculated by very able engineers, that the outlay of from 24,000,000 f. to 30,000,0001.. would effect the junction of the Red Sea with the Nile, and at the same time with the Me diterranean, and this expense cannot be worthy a mo ment's consideration, when the magnitude of the end to be attained is taken into account." -- ----- II 0 P INTELLIGENCE.

THE HARVEST MOON. —About the time of the autumnal equinox, when the moon is at or near the full, she rises sooner after sunsetting than she does in any other full-moon week in the year; and she, more over, rises almost at the s ame t i me for several n i ghts to gether. These circ umstances, with which farmers were better acquainted than astronomers till within these few years, were gratefully ascribed to the goodness of God; conceiving that he had ordered it on purpose to give t h em an immediate supply of moon-light after sunset,. for their greater convenience in reaping and gathering: in the fruits of the earth; accordingly they distinguish. this full moon from all the others in the year, by calling it the harvest moon.
