THE RAILWAY SUN, AND THE PARLIAMENTARY SUN, ARE NOW RE-PUBLISHED, PRICE SLXPENCE EACII. San Office, Aug. 30, 1841. _ The Schah of Herat, liatxtuAx, after vir tually expelling Major TODD from that city, acknowledged himself the vassal of Persia. Herat and Ghorian, which it has cost us such immense subsidies to save fronv the grasp of Persia, are now voluntarily delivered up to her by a traitor, for whose defence England spent in works alone thirty lacs of rupees. It is possible that we may have to expel KAMRAN, and occupy Herat and Gho- I rian in' the name of the Schah SOOJAH. Colonel WYMER, of the Bengal army, sig nally defeated a great portion of the Aff ghan tribe of the Ghiljies, but from the Bombay correspondence, found in another co lumn, it would appear that the origin of the dis affection of this tribe is attributable to the rash ness of a British officer. From a report generally credited in India, that Lord AUCKLAND had demanded a reinforcement from the Ruler of the Punjaub of 10,000 Siekhs in conformity with an article in the late Treaty, it would seem that the occupa tion of Herat is really contemplated by the Anglo-Indian Government. This would be indeed a bold measure, and one which would be likely to embroil us in a quar rel with Russia. Notwithstanding the return of the British Ambassador to the Court of Teheran, we regard 'a war with Persia as an event by no means distant. Sir HARFORD JONES BRYDGES, for several years Ambassador at the Court of Teheran, calculates that be tween the years 1809 and 1838, Persia cost England two millions and a half sterling, and yet what but hatred have we gained by this immense outlay Persia never has been, and never will be, anything but the tool of Russia and, there fore, whatever language she may hold—the enemy of England. Let us then not deceive ourselves, nor at .any time be unprepared for th sorst that can happen. Many of the supporters of the late Cabinet are disposed to give the new Ministry a fair trial. Why we know not, except that Sir ROBERT PEEL has boxed the political compass so often that no person seems sure as to the course which he may :ake upon the Corn-laws, or any other of the great questions which now agitate the country. But the slippery and unscrupulous Baronet is neither the Cabinet nor the uncontrollable direc .or of its councils. Notwithstanding his late boast in the House of Commons, that - he would not suffer himself to be made the scape-goat of the ultra-Tories, it requires little sagacity to pre dict, that surrounded and hedged in as he is by such men as STANLEY and GRAHAM, and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, he will be compelled to stand sponsor for any policy that they are unani mous in adopting. With the threat of the Duke of IticnraoND ringing in his ears, that the party who have given him a majority will desert him if he abandon the Corn-laws, it is idle to expect that Sir ROBERT PEEL will adopt the only true and efficient remedy for the public distress, which consists in the repeal of all taxes upon the im portation of food. To divert public attention he will appoint a Committee of Inquiry, consisting, of course, of men enriched by the bread tax ; some variation will be made in the sliding scale ; but the people may depend upon it that nothing ill be done which will be of the least benefit to them. The object of the Tories and of PEEL 19 to humbug them. The new Ministers, with awful length of face and solemnity of voice, will crave time for consideration and inquiry ; they will deprecate all precipitancy in matters closely connected with great national interests; but unless forced to it by some unexpected pressure from without, they will do nothing to fill the bellies of the hungry with cheap food. When men are resolved to see difficulties in their way, and to be impeded at every step by the scruples of a tender conscience, it is astonishing at how slow a pace they will contrive to travel. The Tory Cabinet is exactly in this position. The Tories dare not avow their predilection for a retrograde course, and to avoid as much as possible anything like an onward movement they affect a wonder ful solicitude for a grave and deliberate exami nation, before stirring, of every object which the most timid imagination could regard as an obstacle. Of lip sympathy for the people there will be no lack on the part of Tory statesmen, but while there is a political agitator at whose door to lay the blame of the misery of the peo- ple, not a syllable will be said about the im mense share the crimes and avarice of the landed aristocracy have had in reducing them to the state of wretchedness in which we find them. We have no confidence whatever in Sir ROBERT PEEL. We have, if possible, still less confidence in the men by whom he is sur rounded in the Cabinet. We never wholly trusted the Whigs ; we wholly and absolutely distrust the Tories. We know well what we have to expect from the arrogance of Lord STANLEY; from the rankling apostacy of Sir JAMES GRA HAM, eager to revenge himself upon the country for the scorn which it has heaped upon him ; from the pig-headed selfishness of the Corn-law Duke of BUCKINGHAM; and from the unprincipled, buccaneering, political parti zanship of Lord LYNDHURST. As well might the people expect the Ethiop to change his skin, or the leopard his spots, as these men to set seriously about relieving the distresses of the working classes. They never intended any such thing. Their battles with the Whigs were battles for place and for power. Their darling object was office, not the means of benefiting their country by any large or improved scale of legislation or administration. So little; in reality , did they see wrong in the conduct of the Whigs, that when they drove them from office they stopped at the door to compliment them on the politeness of their demeanour, their untiring in dustry, and the sincere uprightness of their in tentions ! It was a spectacle for men and angels, to see men who, fbr ten years, had represented the late Cabinet as composed of traitors to, their country and its So vereign, starting to their feet, ready with outstretched arms ,to embrace them, and to proclaim their virtues to the word, the moment it was announced that they had made up their minds to give up the spoils of victory to their opponents. When the Treasury bench was gained, the Tories were satisfied. They even talked of an oblivion of all old grudges, as if there was no People out of doors who had the least con , cern in the arrangements made by Whigs and Tories in the House of Commons. In such men neither The Sun, nor the working classes of this country, can have the shadow of confidence. Were Sir ROBERT PEEL'S power in the Cabinet absolute, we might expect something, for the Right Hon. Baronet never supported the Corn laws with half the zeal he displayed in resisting Catholic emancipation, and yet, in a few months, he was brought round to carry that measure. Sir ROBERT'S only political principle through life has been expediency, and were the popular outcry to render it expedient to abolish the Corn laws, he would be the first to propose their abo lition, were he not bound hand and foot to the agricultural dray driven by the Duke of BUCK INGHAM. As he is now situated, he can do nothing but obey the mandates of the thick skulled landed aristocracy, whose dupe and slave he is. The bulk of the people, who would not stir a step to save the Whigs, abhor the Tories. None of the rival factions possess their confidence. They must now look to themselves, and among themselves, for men upon whose abilities and honesty they can rely with some degree of con fidence. On Saturday the Bishop of LONDON consecrated the City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery at Mile-end. An entertainment followed the consecration service, at which the Right Rev. Prelate made a short speech, in which he lauded cemeteries at a distance from large towns as favourable both to public health and public decency. The good Prelate was not always so favourable to cemeteries, and he had the.candour to state his objections fairly to the company. To A CORIIESPONDENT.---" Yes." HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS DAY. minutes after 5 i Evening 34 minutes after 5. LONDON: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1841. By the Overland Mail from India we have le ceived ne from Canton of the 19th of May, from Macao the 20th of the same month ; from Calcutta of the sth, from Bombay of the 19th, of July ; from A:exandria of the 20th, and from Malta of the 26th of August. Captain ELLIOT was temporising with the Chinese authorities, and had succeeded in obtaining the shipment of eleven millions of pounds of tea. Befbre the end of the mouth he expected to be able to export an equal, or even a still greater, quantity. As British goods were no longer in demand, all the teas purchased were paid for with hard cash In the meanwhile the Chinese were making pre. partitions for war—troops were arriving in great numbers in Clinton, and as an attack on the Bri• - ash factory was apprehended, Captain EL LIOT had ordered the Algerein and Modeste to station themselves so close as to cover the factory with their guns. The EMPEROR was re ported to be furious. On the arrival of KESIIEN, the •late Imperial Commissioner at Pekin, his Majesty ordered him to be cut in two halves right through the middle for having allowed the English to capture the Bocca Tigris forts. Another of his Councillors having recom mended peace with the English had his flesh literally torn bit by bit off his bones, wnd thus died in the greatest agony. In an Imperial decree the EMPEROR, alluding to the dispute with England, tells his subjects, "Let the two words make peace find no place in your hearts, nor ever give them any form by -writing them." The Minister and Court litvourite Hoo, and the EMPEROR'S youngest brother, MEEN FLING, have received or tiers "to journey in all haste, travelling day and night, at the head of 50,000 invincible war riors, to Canton, to, execute the vengeance of the son of heaven upon the English, not allowing a single ship to escape, but sweeping them clean from the face of the seas, in order to fill the Im perial mind with gratification2' His mA_ JzsTy, iu another decree, says that if H ou and MEEN FuNq are not successful he will take the field in person, and not only make an end of English guilt in China, but utterly extirpate the E ng lish name in India and England. Tile British authorities in India were preparing to save the Evr . 2l3 non the trouble of marching so far as Canton for an i n vlrview with the "red-bristled barba rians." Sir HENRY POTTINGER, the new Pleni potentiary, and Admiral Sir W. PARKER, Com mander of the Forces, embarked frotn Bombay for China on the lith of July. They were to commen ce the wta.r with China with the strict blockade of the whole western and southern coast. Th e y were next - to occupy the is land of Amoy, which is said to be ex ceedingly salubrious, and thus cut off all inter course between China awl the rice granary, Formosa. A part of the squadron was to pro ceed to the mouth of the Peiho River, and thence make a dash upon the capital. The appearance of POTTINGER, PARKER, GOR DOND E REMER, and the Blue Jackets at Pekin, will flutter the celestials more than the capture of twenty provincial towns like Canton and Nankin. The expedition is rather directe d against the Government than the peo ple, why), provided they remain quiet, are not to snarl in any other injury than what the blockade may inflict. Wherever they manifest a disposition to encourage commercial inter course with the English, orders have been given to treat them with the greatest kinduss. The ex-High Commissioner LIN is restored to the Imperial - tavour,•and it is said to be by his advice that the EMPEROR has proclaimed an exterminating war against Evgland. He also it was that procured the inhuman butchery of the unfortunate Ic...ESHER. The EMPEROR'S adoption of LIN'S counsels will yet cost him his Crown ; for the war once begun in earnes.l: England ,will stop short of nothing less than the de thronement of the reigning Sovereign. ti.Ye have even hcard it stated, in quarters likely to e well inform;_td, that the British Government has al read% contemplated the overthrow of the 'tartar dynasty in China.

" Who runs may read." ronzzGrz. Important news from China of the 20th of May and from Bombay of the 19th of July will be found in an other part of The Sun. The details are interesting:, but they occupy so much space that We cannot give the sub stance of them in our summary. Captain Elliot has managed to procure 11,000,0001b5. of tea for ready money. The Emperor threatens the extermination of the English barbarians. The French Journals of Thursday are occupied with the resignation of the - Whig Ministry. .In the Debuts we find the following remarks on the retiring speech of Lord John Russell • This speech was, in bur opinion, admirable in every respect, and we can easily understand the applause from all parts of the House, when the most eminent man of- the Re form party spoke in few modest, but dignified worJs of the zeal, disinterestedness, and purity of the motives which had guided him •in the discharge of his public duties. It was one of the. old friends,., but now the warmest opponent of Lord John Russell, .who replied to him by a well-merited eitiogrum upon his character and talent. The Courrier Francais, hitherto so violent against the Whigs, pays them the following parting compliment : "The dishonest conduct of the Whigs towards France shall not prevent our acknowledging that the character of most of them, viz., of Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, Lord Morpeth, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Clarendon, and Mr. Labouchere, is as wor thy of respect as their talent is of admiration. We bestow unqualified praise upon the reply of the Queen to the Address of the House of Commons, in which she expressed her desire to follow the advice of her Parliament, and said she would imme diately adopt measures for the formation of a new Ministry. The Queen thus recognises that it is the majority which makes and unmakes the Cabinets. She merely looks upon herself as the execu tive of the decisions of Parliament. She does not allow her private predelections to interfere, and gives up her own convictions. For her the sovereignty of the people is not a vain word. Her example ought to find more imitators in France." _ The 6nstitutionnel also has the following remarks on the care taken by all parties to disconnect the Queen's name with the dissolution of the Whig Cabinet : " "What is most remarkable in the proceedings in the House of Commons is the care that has been takenon both sides to disconnect the Queen from the political struggles which have led to the resignation of the Cabinet. This solicitude of all parties in England to respect royalty, and keep it unconnected with parli amenta r y c on fli cts, i s an example which it would be well to follow in this country, where, unfoytunaely,. royalty- is, s o f requent ly made the object of discussion.' PUBLIC OPIATXON. The Morning Herat! is delighted with the new Minis. terial appointments, as will be seen by the followinE passage :—" The appointments already made carry will them every promise of stability, permanency, and public concurrence and sanction. From Lord Ellenborough we shall be justified in looking for the speedy establish ment, in our Indian dominions of a less dangerous, less ambitious, and less encroaching policy than that which has placed such vast , interests in jeopardy for the costly indulgence of a spirit of territorial ag grandizement. In Lord Lyndhurst we may safely look for all the learning, uprightness and dignity, that can adorn the highest judicial station ; in the Cabinet or on the Woolsack—for all the in tellectual power, the nervous eloquence, and perspicuous statement which can give effect to the most enlightened views of political wisdom, and beneficent legislation."— The allusion to the "uprightness" of Lord Lyndhurst, who has been jumping "Jim Crow" throughout the best part of his political life, is a high joke; and not less ab surd is the complimentary reference to " tame elephant" Eilenborough. As for the Ministerial appointments car rying with them every promise of stability, they carry with them nothing but a promise of discord and disunion. The Post congratulates the country on the accession of the Tories to office in these terms :—" We have now a Government of sufficient strength to carry into effect what it determines upon, without the help of agita tion,' previously got up by the violent language of news paper partisans, or the rabid ravings of itinerant lec turers. Whatever may be known, then, of the general principles of the new Government, and of the probable scope and tendency of its measures, no very specific in formation can be expected, until it is necessarily brought forward in the official form. We shall now have an actual Government, and not a scramble of all sorts of powers and influences, regular and irregular, resolving themselves into an eccentric course of political expe riments." We quote the following from the Chronith :—" We hope that the rule of the Tories will soon be at an end. For much as we may consider a modification of our tariff to be imperiously called for, in order to save the best interests of the country, we also feel the value and the importance of such a modification being effected, not by a sullen and unfavourable Administaation, but by one hearty towards its support. The Tories have ousted the Whigs on the question ; but if the Tories take up the Whig question of Commercial Reform, they at once sit► against public faith and Morality, and also rouse the country gentlemen."— The great objection to be urged against the new Admi nistration is, that whatever reforms it undertakes, it will undertake in a sullen and reluctant spirit. It will not go cordially or strenuously to work, but will do no snore than it can possbly help. Every Reform will have to be wrung from it—every concession it makes to public feel ing, will be made with a wry face, as if it were swallow ing So much physic. In a word, the Ministry can only be liberal in the enlarged sense of the term, by sacrific ing all consistency. The Times is by no means so positive on the subject of the honest intentions of the Peel Cabinet, as it was some days since. Instead of stating it broadly as a fact, it now contents itself with a modest hope, that the Ministerial policy will be ." a just and humane one." What, there a screw loose already ? Has our Con temporary heard it whispered that the Tories are likely to stick firm to their old creed, and scout all substantial Reform as an absurdity? We feel strongly disposed to think so, or otherwise the Times would scarcely have ventured to indulge in these somewhat distrustful observations:— " It now appears as certain as anything human can be, that the Administration of Sir Robert Peel will experi ence no obstacle either in the Court or in the Legisla ture ; but will be enabled, calmly and at ease, to de velope its entire policy. May that policy be a just, an humane, a truly Conservative one ! For we can hardly express our senss of the calamity which would befall the country should the Ministry now about to asstvme the Government disappoint the hopes which the people have been led to form." He feared they might withhold something from the coffers of the Church. His regard for public health and public decency was not so strong as his attachment to burial fees, which jingle so musically in the pockets of the priests. But an Act of Parliament has secured their fees to the priests, and now the Bishop of LONDON is as willing as anybody to promote the health and decency of the community. After this ac knowledgment it would be exceedingly un fair to tax the Right Reverend Prelate with hypocrisy. He is quite willing to dispense with the reading of the burial service provided the fees are paid. His Lord ship has no scruples about granting a dispensa tion to the clergy to omit a part of their duty, provided their congregations are particular in leaving no part of the established rate of fees unpaid. Public health and public decency are good things in their way, but they are subordi nate to the vested interest which the priest has in the rotting remains of a defunct member of the human family Death, which extinguishes all passions, and dissolves every other terrestrial tie, does not relieve us from the taxation claims of the priesthood—from claims which even a Prelate avows to have outweighed in his mind a regard for the health and decency of this vast metropolis. The whole of the Mach Journals of Thurs clay have reached us, but the principal intelli gence they bring was anticipated in our Afternoon Edition of Friday. We subjoin extracts from them : We have a letter from Toulon of 28th August, which says : It is announced that several vessels are about to go Port Vendre, to take on board another regiment, which is to be conveyed to Africa, " The vessels which lately left this port, with the 33d Regiment of the line, are to bring back from Algiers the 23d of the line. "It is to be regretted that these changes of the troops are made at this season. We have remarked with regret that the regiments sent to Algeira generally take the field as soon as they arrive. Thus the 16th Light Infantry and the 56th of the Line, which arrived in the spring in the pro vince of Oran, were immediately included in the column which burnt Tedekempt and took Mascara. The conse quence was such as might easily have been foreseen. These regiments, which had not had time to get accus tomed to the climate, had a much greater number of sick than the other corps. The same thing will 'happen to the regiments which are now sent to take part in the autumn campaign. It seems to us, that on the return of the expeditions, the regiments which are to come back to France should be sent home immediately, and replaced by others, which would have some months to be inured to the climate. This would be the more easy as there is no deficiency of means of conveyance. The Didon frigate, lately arrived from Candia, has just received orders to be ready to put to sea at the first signal. We hear that it is to go to Brest to take on board troops for the colonies. The Styx steam-boat is to take on board the Commis sio'ners who are to report as to the state of defence of the coasts of Provence. A telegraphic dispatch announces that the Didon left Toulon for Wrest on the 30th of August.—Le Commerce. BOURSE—PAeus, TiIUESDAY, SEPT. 2. • lust Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

The Times, alluding to the departure of the new Mi nisters from Claremont on Friday, indulges in the• fol lowing subtle and sagacious remark :—" It continued to rain at intervals and look gloomy, until the period when the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel passed through the gates of Claremont in the capacity of Mi nisters of the Crown, and at that moment we observed the first sun-burst." This evident sympathy on the part of the sun with the new Ministers, is very creditable to the feelings of that illustrious luminary ! It scorned to show • ' itself while the Whigs were passing out, but reserved its smiles for the Tories. Two men, under sentence of transportation, attempted to escape from Roscommon gaol by disguising them selves in female attire, and boring a hole in the wall ; but they were discovered and their escape prevented. A lady of distinction walked through the market at Tuam the week before last, dressed with an old quilt as a mantelet. This extraordinary exhibition was made to win the wager of one pound. An enormous skate was sold on Monday in the fish market at Ghent, measuring six feet square, and Weigh ing 1751b5. A Derby paper, after stating the illness of a young woman, named Emma Torr, aged 18, says that her mother gave her an emetic, when to the astonishment of her mother and others who were present, she ejected a live frog. It was picked up and put into some Water, but did not live more thnn an hour and a half. The learned of the place supposed that the frog must have been generated in the stomach, she having eaten some watercress, and probably at the same time some frog- spawn. Sir William Follett is said to be the purchaser of the Codawn Kirkham estate, the property of Mr. Montague Parker, the late Tory Member for South Devon. A rabbit at Exeter, on Tuesday last, brought forth prolifically eighteen young ones.

By the Brighton Railway passengers are now con ' veyed to London in less than 4 hours, and when the line is opened, the whole distance will be travelled in two hours ! It is contemplated, indeed, that one train will perform the journey in about an hour and a-half. The road distance, as it is, is reduced about two miles by the railway, being only 50i miles—nearly a direct line. HUMOURS OP THM MAY. Viscount Morpeth, it is stated, after visiting Dublin will immediately go on a tour of several months in Canada. BRIG ELTON, SEPT. 3. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Scots Greys, stationed at this place, had a small field-clay this forenoon, on the heights, above the bar racks, which was attended by numerous pedestrians, equestrians, and carriage people, of whom there are now a considerable number. About one hundred and fifty dragoons, beautifully I mounted, met at ten o'clock, and went through a variety of manoeuvres with great skill and order. They per formed two or three divisions of the sword exercise with wonderful precision, made various changes at full gallop, retreated and kept up a straggling fire, to the great annoyance of some horses, and to the greater annoyance of some ladies whose horses, to their asto nishment, became restive, and would have shamefully left the field but for the assistance of the cavaliers who . accompanied them. Thay soon, however, became re assured, as the French say, and afterwards stood the fire admirably. -The troops altogether had a superb appearance. Three or four Waterloo-men were dis tinguished in the lines, and what with the fine appear ance of the horses, white, grey, and grey black, the rapidity and regularity of the changes, and the fine dress and valorous bearing of the men, it may be said that the officers still keep up the .high character of the regiment, and justly entitle it to the opinion which Bonap Irte formed of it 26 years ago. When he watched the charges of the British cavalry from the heights of La belle Alliance he could not resist the impression which they made on a mind so accustomed to grand movements, and involuntarily and repeatedly exclaimed, " Qualm superbes troupes !" The morning was uncommonly beautiful, though ex tremely sultry, but a little after mid-day a sudden change . took place. A violent storm with heavy rain came on, winch lasted for several hours, with vivid lightning and heavy peals of thunder. Towards the evening the sheet lightning, blazing from every part of the horizon, pro duced a beautiful effect. The town now is very full, and the bathing excellent. The railway is succeeding well. Advertisements announce that the whole line from Lon don th Brighton is to be opened on Tuesday, the 21st instant. The inhabitants of Brighton, alive to the emi nent advantages which must accrue to them from the successful and rapid accomplishment of this enterprise, i have determined upon giving a public dinner to the Direc tors on Monday, the 20th instant, in testimony of the ' opinion universally entertained of the indefatigable zeal and laborious exertio*s by which they hare brought the work to so splendid an issue. The Directors will make a preliminary trip throughout the line on the 14th instant, and the intervening week will afford ample time for per fecting all the arrithgements consequent an the opening. COUNTY COURTS.— There has been just printed for the House of Lords a Bill (presented by the Lord Chancellor, and read for the first time on the 27th ult.), entitled " An Act to improve and extend the juris diction of County Courts." The passing of this Bill will be productive of many advantages 'to the community at large. The present constitution of County Courts is extremely defective and unsatisfactory. There is no pre cise or specified time for their being held, and they have only authority to hold plea of personal actions when the debt or damage cloth not amount to forty shillings. The under-sheriff, too, is the person who presides in them, and althoup these are generally a very efficient set of men yet it may happen, and frequently does, that not being accustomed to complicated cases, he finds himself rather perplexed and puzzled by the statements and counterstatements of the cunning attorneys who have to manage matters for their respective clients. By the new Bill twenty-five Judges are to be appointed by the Lord Chancellor, with salaries varying from 8001. to 1,500 i. per annum, all of them to be either barristers of seven years' standing, or attorneys of ten. The Judges are to be invested with summary juris diction in personal actions, when the amount is under five pounds ; when it is above that sum, the plaintiff or defendant is entitled to call for a jury to decide. As the passing of this Bill will no doubt multiply to a great extent the business of the County Courts, so it will bring much additional business to the county attorneys, to whom a wide field for practice, and which promises to afford them a no very scanty harvest, will be thus sud denly opened. It may be thought, perhaps, that too great patronage will be thus given to the Lord Chancel lor, and that the salaries of the Judges are somewhat too large. But these are the only objections that can be brought against it. In all other respects it is worthy of the earliest consideration of both parties — as well Tories as Whigs. Upon the author of the Bill (Lord Cotten ham) the Times of Friday has bestowed a very hand some eulogium ; and well, indeed, it may have done so. There are few—perhaps, no Chancellor has ever retired from the woolsack so universally esteemed for his urbanity, his mildness, his untiring attention to bu siness, and the many eminent benefits which, in some of the new rules that he has ti.ade, he has conferred upon the Court over which for so many years he has presided. DEAL.—On Saturday week Mr. Bush and a party went by steam to the Goodwin Sands, to fix upon the spot where the light-house is to be erected, and to lay down the buoy. A little to the northward of the Swatchway was chosen, where there are seven or eight feet at low water. The party afterwards went to look at the beacon, erected last autumn, which has stood the butfetings of the wind and tide since, not having sunk more than two feet. This all every hope for the suc cess of Mr. Bush's gigantic undertaking, and which, - when completed, will no doubt be the means of saving more lives and property than any similar undertaking in the world.—Dover Chronicle. CROPS IN SOUTH WALES.—Wheat is not only very thin on most lands, but exceedingly short in the car, so that the yield cannot but fall below the usual average. The barley crops look beautiful, and require only a sunny day or two to bring them to perfection; the ear promises an ample return. Oats also look remark ably well, and although laid fiat in many places by the late heavy rains, they have recovered, and present a healthy appearance. The potatoes are in, general abun dant and good.— Washmun. COURTING SCENE.--" Jonathan, did you read that ere story about the man as was hugged to death by the bear?"

The Report of the Manchester and Birmingham Rail way, states that the completion of the works would be fully made by the 12th of March next, and the line to Crewe before the close of that month. The balance, after payment of every expense, in favour of the Com pany was 138,80C1. 3s. Bd., and the prospects were clear and promising. The Report of the North Midland Railway, states a surplus on hand to allow a dividend of fa. per share on the hundred pound shares, and 11. on those of fifty. The traffic as compared with last year had increased 64 per cent., and the net profit for the half-year amounted to 16,0001. A meeting of the proprietors of the Birmingham and Derby Railway was held on the 26th ult., at 'Bir mingham. The report stated that the balance of profit for the year was capable of allowing 13s. 4d. on each sharp of 1001. The works of the Dublin and Drogheda Railway are fast progressing ; the whole line between Dublin and e Balbriggan will soon be in operation.

At Canterbury the Hops show very luxuriantly ; the picking has commenced at Tenterden, and will soon at eranbrook. A good crop is expected from all parts of the Weald of Kent. The complaints of wet at Ayr are still very serious; in other parts of Scotland sunny blinks appear, but a week of continuous fine weather is sadly needed. NAVAL AND MILI TA Y. A grand review of the Scots' Greys took place on the Brighton Downs on Thursday before upwards of 4,000 spectators. L&W AND POLICE. A special Court of Sewers fur the City and Liberties of Westminster was held in Soho-square on Friday, to try before a jury the long-pending question respecting the right of jurisdiction of the Commissioners over cer tain property in Kensall New Town. Mr. Jenkins, the owner of a large extent of property in that place, had contested the right. of their nicking sewers on his grounds, and had made sewers of his own, which the Court had in pursuance of the powers vested in them demolished. The following verdict was returned by the jury :—"We find that Robert Kinnaird Jenkins has made nine sewers without having previously obtained the consent of the Commissioners, and that such sewers are illegal and contrary to the statute." Another Court • will be called to amerce the defendant in damages and fines. On Friday a commi ss i o n. of lunacy was held at the Gray's-inn Coffee-house .before the Commissioners, to inquire into the state of mind of Joseph Ireland, Esq , architect and builder, of Osnaburg Douse, Osnaburg square. One of his delusions was, that he was the architect and builder of half the Roman Catholic chapels in the kingdom, and that he had a g►and idea of planting a tree in the middle of his kitchen which through a hole in the various ceilings should fill the rooms with its branches, and grow higher than the house. The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict —" That he was of unsound mind since the 30th of April, 1838." On Friday Daniel Carter, alias Dennis Alacarthy, a a well-known thief, was charged at Hatton-garden with having stolen a quantity of plate from the Foreign-oilice, effected under the disguise of a sweep. The witnesses being positive as to his identity, he was committed to the House of Correction for three months, and in the mean while every effort will be made to trace the plate. zLEcTiowzratiNG. We learn from the Western Times that Mr. Buller, to the disappointment of the Roformers throughout Eng land has declined to be pin in nomination for the city of Exeter. SPORTING. The Earl of Darlington has gone to Scotland for the shooting season. THE NEW MINISTRY. The first Cabinet Council of S:r Robert Peel's Admi nistration assembled at the Foreign-office on Saturday, at three o'clock. The summonses for holding the Coun cil were issued to all the members of the Cabinet on Fri day night. • I !Most of the new Ministers transacted official business at their respective offices on Saturday morning. Sir James Graham, Mr. Goulburn, and Lord Stanley were early in their attendance. • „ On Friday, shortly after the return of the Earl of Aberdeen from Claremont, a messenger was despatched from the Foreign-office to Wynyard Park, requesting the attendance of the Marquis of Londonderry in town. We understand that the messenger was instructed, in case the Noble Marquis should have left Wynyard Park • before his arrival to participate in celebrating the coming of age of Sir C. W. Wynne, that he was immediately to follow him. In the course of the morning several of the Cabinet Ministers visited Sir Robert Peel in Whitehall-gardens. The Earl of Shaftesbury had also a long audience of the Right lion. Baronet. Sir William Rae had an interview with Sir James Graham, at the Home Office, on Saturday morning. We may state, we believe, with certainty, that Sir William has received the • appointment of Lord Advceate for Scotland. THE THIMBLE-RIG.-EXTENSIVE VICTIMIZING. At the Audit-House on Friday (yesterday), five fel lows, belonging to a gang of thimble- riggers, were placed at the bar, charged with obtaining money and securities to the amount of 1701. from a gentleman named Ed wards, residing at Millbrook. They gave their names John Purcell, of Dudley, Worcestershire, glass cutter ; Frances Varyer of Burford, Oxfordshire, cook ; Ben jamin Parrott, of Sheffield, file grinder ; Joseph Kemp and James Curran, labourers.—Mr. Saunders attended on behalf of Mr. Edwards, and stated the particulars of the case, which will be gathered from the following state ment made by the complainant.—Thomas Spencer Ed wards deposed—On Tuesday last about one o'clock I went to the Southampton race-course. A little beyond the grand stand I saw some persons collected round a table, on which a man was playing with three thimbles and a pea. The prisoners Purcell, Parrott, and Varyer, were standing round. The man with the table offered to bet to any amount, from a sovereign and upwards,tha,t the pea was not found. I saw several sovereigns won and lost. The three prisoners were looking on. One of them advised me to try my luck. I took out my purse,—in which were one sovereign and a 501. note,—and put the sovereign down, which immediately lost, by taking, up a. thimble which. the pea was not under. Parrott said, " try your luck again." I replied that I bad nothing but a 501. note, and I would not change that. The parties round the table went on playing for larger stakes, 10, 20, or 30 sovereigns. A man standing behind the man who played the thimbles, whenever the thimbles were moved, took up that which covered the pea and said, " now's your time to bet, you're sure to win." At these times, the thimble-player turned his head away. The man put down 50 sovereigns, which he said he would stake. I put down my note, and immediately lost it. Before I did this, I saw several persons win large sums. I walked away. Parrott followed me, and said he was sorry 1 lost,—that I was too much agi tated, or I should not have lost. He invited me to go and take a glass of sherry' with him, but I declined. Ile said we had better go back and look on ; two or three eyes were better than one. We ,went back to the table, which had been moved a little distance. Parrott touched me, and asked which thimble I thought the pea was un der. I pointed once or twice, and lie coincided, Varyer, who, with Purcell, were still standing by, said, " Try your luck again." I said I had no money. Parrott said he had no money, but his friend would lend me some. Varyer then took a handful of sovereigns out of his pocket, which he almost forced on ine.,.l was induced by him to take it and bet, and I immediately lost it. This was done two or three times, until Varyer told me I bad had 701. -Parrott then said, " Come away, you have had bad luck ; you are too timid." We went away to the back of the booths, Varyer following.—(Mr. Edwards went on to describe that the party got him to give his ac ceptance for 701., payable in two days ; that Parrott, under pretence of friendship, remained in his company, and managed again to fall in with the table, where Pur cell and Parrott induced him to play again, and give his gold watch as security fur 501., which Purcell lent him, and which was of course immediately lost ; and that he then became awake to the trick practised on him. He left the course, and, an appointment having been made for the purpose of redeeming the watch and acceptance, Mr. Edwards took with him Inspector Enright and two police officers, who took the men into custody. The other two were taken at their lodgings at the Nag's Head Tap. Inspector Enright and Serjeant Terry deposed to knowing the whole of the party, and to having ofteri seen them on the race course. They were remanded until Wednesday next.—Hampshire Independent. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT DRAYTON PARSLOW, - On the 25th ult., an inquest was held at Drayton Parslow, Bucks, before J. W. Cowley, Esq.,und eighteen respectable Jurymen, on view of the body of Solomon Loveridge, a gypsey, aged twenty-three, whose death was occasioned under the following circumstances : The Jury having been sworn, the Coroner observed that as the result of their inquiry might possibly involve two individuals, named John and Joseph Smith, then in custody on an alleged charge of slaying the deceased, he should rive them an opportunity of being present during the inquiry. ' They were accordingly called in, and upon being asked whether they wished to be present, re, plied iu the affirmative. Kitty Millburn kept a public-house in Drayton Pars low. The two Smiths and deceased came to her house on the previous Thursday night about a quarter before ten. Deceased called for a quart of beer, which all three sat down and drank. They remained about twenty mi nutes, and appeared on the best terms.' Deceased paid for the beer. In a few minutes afterwards she heard a quarrelling up the road ; supposed it to be among the parties who had just left. They were rather fresh in liquor when they quitted the house. Ann Chappel resided in a cottage near Mr. Fountain's rick-yard. About ten o'clock on Thursday night she heard some men quarrelling on the road. Heard some one say, "come and go in the rick-yard, for this is the highway, and you will be run over." Somebody answered "1 wont go, I will lie here and die first." She also heard one say immediately afterwards, " Don't squash my guts out." Hannah Vicears examined.--On the previous Thursday night, about half-past ten, ihe went towards Mr. Foun tain's rick-yard. There saw the tv o prisoners and the deceased; they were dragging the latter along the road toward the rick-yard. Josep Smith put his fist in her face, and said he had hit the —on the jaw. Deceased did not speak. James Webb examined.—Was present when the two Smiths dragged the deceased into the rick-yard. They laid him under a rick and then left him. They ran towards the church. maw John Smith go into the rick yard the next morning between four and five. Did not see him come out. Other witnesses were called, who fully corroborated the fact of Joseph Smith having struck the deceased on the head, of his subsequent brutal treatment, and that on Friday morning the deceased was found lying under the rick quite dead. John Thomas Wynter, surgeon, was of opinion the congestion and effusion of blood were produced from the bumps on the head, and they were undoubtedly inflicted by some blunt instrument ; a blow from the fist or falling to the ground was calculated to produce such an injury. Was of opinion that deceased's death was c iused by the injuries described. - Should say death ensued shortly after the injuries on the head were inflicted. The prisoners were apprehended on the Friday morn ing, about eight miles from Drayton. The CORONER then addressed the prisoners, and told them they were not bound to say anything while there, and it was entirely at their option to do so or not ; and it was his duty to tell them that whatever they said would be taken down in writing, and produced in Court, and might criminate themselves. Joseph Smith expressed a desire to say a few words ; he then stated as follows :—" We quarrelled on the road •• deceased struck me first, and then I struck him." The CORONER then summed up, explaining to the Jury the differefice between murder and manslaughter, and to what extent the present ease bore reference to each. After a short consultation the Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Johu and Joseph Smith, and the Coroner accordingly issued his warrant for their commitment to Aylesbury gaol, to take their trial at the next Bucks assizes.—Learmnyton Spa Chronicle.

For the last ten minutes the Prince had kept his hand extended on a marble table, his voice as suming a sepulchral tone. All at once he applied his icy hand upon the bare arm of his hostess, who uttered a piercing scream. The terrified auditors rushed into . the other room, and, in. their confusion, extinguished the solitary light. The sudden darkness redoubled their panic. At last the servants made their appearance with flambeaux ; and the Prince, who began to be alarmed at the success of his experiment, succeeded with some dif ficulty in calming the apprehensions of nis fair audience. " Ladies," said he, " 'tis all your own fault ; you re quested me to terrify you a little, and I like to make myself agreeable." OBJECTIONS TO COUNTY VOTERS. The number of objections to county voters whose qualifica tions are situate in the. township of Leeds, served by the Tories upon the Liberal party, is 397, and the number of objections served by the latter upon the Tories is 812. The last mentioned number is much larger than as com , pared with that of the last three years ; but we believe it ' arises from the fact that the Reformers have hitherto acted too liberally towards their opponents. by neglect , ing to make objections to parties where the circumstances were such as fully to justify them iu doing so. —Leeds I Mercury.
