It is questionable whether, among all the monstrosities that architecture has ever given birth to, there exists in Christendom one building, having any pretensions to be a work of art, whose facade is thus proportioned. The dimension from the level of the street to the top of the balustrade is 70 feet ; which, with reference,,tp, the width, is a perfectly good proportion, and such As may be found in some of the best works of the Italian masters. Let us, then, "off with its head !" Tho materials will at least pay the cost of removal, and we shall then have removed a stigma upon the public taste, given light to the surrounding narrow ways, and added one grace more to the Queen of Cities—the emporium of the world The public are under great obligations to you, and I am, my dear Sir Peter, very truly yours, London, Nov. 20, 1841. S. S. The General Purpose Committee, to whom it was re ferred, will brinc , up a Report recommending the remo val of the unsightly bulk, and among other reasons, that the walls of the Mansion-house will not be able to sup port such a weight much longer, and that the rooms are not required. A similar projection was removed from over the Egyptian Hall, in the Mayoralty of Mr. William Curtis. PILE-DRIVING MACHINE. A very simple, yet very admirable machine for driving a double row of piles, has. very recently been imported from the United States. It was built at Utica, and has the national name " Brother Jonathan" inscribed on it. It is now in operation at Smith's timber wharf, Pedlar's Acre, where it can be seen driving the piles for the causeway and abutment on the Surrey side of the New llungerford Market Bridge, now in progress. The hammers, or weights, or as they are more usually called by pile-drivers the " monkeys," are elevated to a height of thirty-five feet or thereabouts, along grooves in perpendicular leaders, by means of a locomotive steam engine of ten-horse power, fixed on a plat form, on which the whole of the machinery is placed. The power of the blow given by each of these hammers exceeds six hundred tons, and drives a pile of twenty-seven feet long, and as thick as the thick est piles used in embankments and for coffer dams, nearly its whole length into the earth in about eight minutes, perhaps less. It drives two piles at the same time.. 4 circular horizontal saw is worked by the engine, which, in a few seconds, cuts the tops of the piles even, and enables the trucks, or small wheels on which the plat , formis supported, , to come forward as fast as the piles are driVen, and out them even at the top ; the platform is propelled by a one-horse power by the engine. The power of this machine is absolutely astounding, and requires to be seen to be' fully estimated. It is an important appli cation of steam power, likely to produce very beneficial results in public works, in the formation of sea banks, and in all operations :on a large scale where rapidity of execution and precision are required. The machine was used in America for driving piles for railroads ; and travelled by its own power upwards of two hundred miles, driving piles, and making its own road through swamps and districts heretofore impervious. It is patented in this country, and also in the United States. The machine has, moreover, the power of drawing piles out of the earth as quickly as it drives them in, and can be applied to the raising of blocks of stones, and all heavy weights that require an extraordinary power, It is almost indispensable fur all persons immediately con nected with engineering and science to see it, and it is well worth the while of a visit from the curious and in telligent of all professions. ELECTION RIOTS.- TORY VILLAINY. A SHTON-UNDER-LYNE.-.•lt will be remembered that :his town was the scene of great riots and disturbances during the last election, and particularly on the nomi nation day, and that a great number et " navigators," who were hired by the Tories, were tried for riot ut the last Liverpool Assizes, and found guilty, three of whom sentence of death was recorded against. At the same assizes true bills were found against some of Mr. Har rop's friends, for arming and inciting to riot. Previous, however, to the assizes, and immediately after the elec tion, the Tories (enraged by their defeat) applied for warrants against eight of Mr. Hindley's supporters, for riot and assault. These cases were heard before the Ashton Magistrates, and dismissed. Individual cases have also been heard and dismissed. So determined were the Tory party to throw off the disgrace which characterised their cowardly proceedings at the elec tion, and if possible to charge Mr. Hindley's party with the commencement of the riot on the day of no. mination, that they indicted the same persons at the last Salford Sessions, who were tried and acquitted be fore the Ashton Magistrates, for riot and assault. The case was heard at the New Bailey on Wednesday last. Messrs. Gibbon and Hawkyard were solicitors for the Tories ; and Mr. Gartside was solicitor for the Re formers (the defendants). Dr. Brown and Mr. Brandt. were counsel for the defendants, and Messrs. Greene and Wiggam for the prosecution. The case com menced about four o'clock, and was not closed until half-past twelve o'clock at night. The witnesses for the prosecution were Messrs. Thomas Mellor (cotton spinner), Collins, Turner, Lingard, Hulme, and others, amounting to thirteen in number. The de fendants had upwards of twenty wit asses, who all spoke to the same fact, that the riot 'was commenced by the Tory party advancing with stones and blud geons upon Mr. Hindley and his friend on their enter ing into the Market-place. The question for the jury to decide was, whether the Tory party commenced the riot, or Mr. Hindley's party; and after hearing the Learned Chairman's remarks upon the evidence, they returned a verdict for the defendants of " Not guilty." This is the third time the Ashton Tories have exposed themselves in the different Court's of law, spending their time tnd money to convict Mr. Hindley's party of an offence which has been proved by a jury of the country to have been committed by themselves.—Man• aester Times. TEETOTALISM IN INDIA. The import of ale, beer, and porter, seems steadily increasing. The quantity imported last year was 14,094 good, and 1,821 bad and empty hogsheads, be sides 2,400 dozens in bottle, the aggregate value of which is set down at 6,17,155 rupees. Bass and Allsop continue in high repute in Bengal, as they do in other parts of India, two-thirds of last year's supply being of their brands. The following are the quantities imported in good order from the six principal brewers for the Indian market during the last four years. We have added the proportion of bad and empty hogsheads of each kind for last year : 1837-38 1838-39 1838-39 1840-41 1840-41 Hhds. Hhds. Hhds. Hhds. Bad. Bass 4,881...3,120 ...4,442 ...5,319 ... 186 Allsop Hodgson Tennant Ind and Smith 981... 621 ... 371 ... 423 ... 21 Elliot Besides the above there are thirty-two other brewers, each struggling to acquire a name in the Indian market, who sent out last year quantities varying from ten to 300 hogsheads each, and one (Saunders) to the extent of 800. An American brewer named Pepper sent out 130 hogsheads on trial the previous year, but, probably not finding it answer, does not appear to have repeated the experiment. Many others, we suspect, , will be con strained to follow their example, and abandon as hope less the prospect of competing with those already so well established in public favour. A large proportion of this beer is excellent ; but those accustomed to their fa vourite beverage of Bass or Allsop, and whose tastes are in a manner confirmed, are averse to change, even although the new beer can be had at about half the price of the other ; meanwhile such wholesome compe tition is not without its advantages. With the example of Hodgson before them, and surrounded by so many competitors, Messrs. Bass, Allsop, Tennant, &c., have the strongest inducement to maintain the superiority of their respective brews. It would have been interesting to have compared the above with the kinds of beer held in most estimation on this side of India ; but on this subject " The Reports of th.e Commerce of Bombay, compiled under the joint di rection of the Reporter-General on External Commerce (i. e. the Collector of Customs), and the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce," afford us no information whatever. We believe, however, that Bass and Allsop distance the others by a long interval.—Bombay Times, Oct. 1. WARLIKE PREPARATIONS IN THE NAVY.— In all departments of the naval service of the country a degree of activity prevails unexampled at any period since the battle of Waterloo re-established the peace of Europe. We haire it from undoubted authority, that in one of the many departments to which the manning and fitting but of ships of war is entrusted, the weekly bills sent in last week exceeded by 40,0001. any accounts rendered for the same period for the last fi ve a nd twenty years. This increase of activity is not confined to one branch of the service, and, taken alto gether, we are told, in the past week, there was the im mense augmentation in the payments for strengthening the navy alone of 400,0001. The naval estimates for the next year will therefore startle those who look with alarm at any further addition being made to the na tional debt. Tne Government seem resolved to place Britain's bulwark in the most efficient position. This week another contract for 100,000 gallons of rum for the use of the navy has been taken. It is not more than two months since a similar quantity of the same spirit was con tracted, to be sent to the dockyard stores. On the present, as on the l ast few former occaions, the Lords Commissioners for exercising the office of Lord High Admiral have stipulated that one-half of the quantity shall be rum the produce of the East Indies. The contract this week was taken on rather lower terms than that which preceded it.—Dublin Evening Post. A lady in the Rue de Bussy received on Satur day last an invitation to a ball for Sunday evening. Not being acquainted with the family she laid it aside, and at liar usual hour on Sunday night re tired to bed. Hearing something stir in the adjoin ing room, and receiving no answer to her calls, she got up, opened her door, and unintentionally admitted two men, one of whom was armed with a knife, and threatened to murder her if she cried out, while the other was collecting all the valuables he could lay his hands upon. While they were thus employed, a person of the house, who Wad been dining out, returned home rather gay, and ascended the staircase singing the Marseillaise at the top of his voice. This scared the men in the lady's chamber; who immediately abandoned all that they had collected, Wand made a precipitate retreat. IRELAND. DUMAN; Nor. 22.—The simultaneous collection of the O'Connell tribute in Dublin took plaw yesterday, and the result shows that there has been a very considerable augmentation as compared with last`year. In 1840 the amount was 1,4381, and this year it is 2,0061., showing an increase in Dublin alone of 568/ The result might have been very different if the Times had taken to praising Mr. O'Connell, or even if .it had remained silent respecting himself and his tribute. Sir Robert Peel himself might take a useful lesson from the facts I have mentioned. POST-OFFICE REVENUE IN IRELAND. The following letter from Mr. F. Murphy, member for Cork City, to the Secretary of the Committee of Mer chants, announces the refusal of the Postmaster-General to accelerate the rate of travelling of the Dublin and Cork mail, one of the reasons assigned being the great and continuing decline of the Post-office revenue in this country : " Temple, Nov. 17, 1841. " Dear Sir—l have had another interview with Lord Lowther, and I regret to say my miasion has proved un successful. Mr. Purcell has risen in his demands, and whereas he would have been contented last year to make the proposed acceleration fur a sum of 5001. he now re quires what is equivalent to 9001. The Treasury refuse to give this sum, and they allege among other reasons, that the returns of the Irish Post-office, during the last year exhibited a deficiency of 30,0001., which had to be made good from the department of England ; and this year presents every prospect of a still greater decrease. " If the citizens of Curk think there is any other quarter to which I can apply in order to accomplish their object, I shall be most happy to obey their com mands. I am, dear sir, your faithful servant, " George Atkins, Esq. F. S. MURPHY." EXECUTION FOR THE MURDER OF MR. POWELL. On Saturday last, the 20th instant, the extreme pe nalty of the law took place on Patrick Woods, whose case had stood over from last assizes, on an objection by his counsel, which the twelve Judges overruled. The wretched man said to the people that he was innocent of the murder of Mr. Powell, that he was seven miles off when the murder took place ; he forgave his prose cutors, his judge, and his jury, and died protesting his innocence. After having delivered these few words he seemed",to be suffering intense mental agony, and was moving from side to side, not knowing what he did. He sunk down before th e full of the drop, in the centre of which he was placed by - the executioner. In a few mo ments the bolt was drawu, and the wretched man ceased to breathe." THE WEATHER --GREAT DISTRESS. The weather thii week has been very, severe. Snow has fallen in considerable quantities. The mountains in the neighbourhood of Dublin are covered with snow, and the cold is very severe. From all parts of the country we learn that the winter has set in with great severity, and several of the mails have been detained past time, owing to the heaviness of the roads, which, in some places, have been blocked up with snow-drift. In Ireland there is a very general, and, we fear, un fortunately, a too-well founded apprehension, that in some parts of the country a famine will exist, owing to the lateness of the harvest and the premature setting in of the severe weather. A gentleman who arrived in Dublin the other day assured us that not one-half of the potato crop, on which the poor people mainly rely for subsistence, would in some parts be saved—in fact, that in a great many districts the potato crop saved would not last over February. Such being the case it is lamentable to cont em pl a t e the consequences. The sufferings the poor will be forced to endure—sufferings, alas ! with which they are ,al ready too familiar—ought to engage the attention of the Government, and some means adopted to alleviate them. —Dublin Monitor. THE POTATO CROP. On Sunday night last the weather assumed all the severity and harshness of mid-winter. A great quan tity of snow has since fallen in all parts of the coun try from which we have heard, .and there has been smart frosts at intervals. This change in the weather, occurring at a much earlier period than usual, has come upon the farmers by surprise. This is the season for potato digging, which must, of course, be more or less impeded by the state of the ground, and the sowing of wheat must also be prevented.—Dublin Even ing Post. We had a heavy fall of snow last night, which was followed by an intense frost, rendering the streets and roads almost Untravelable. We do not remember symp toms of winter to set in at so early a period for many years."—Cork Reporter of 'Thursday. " The weather, since our last, has been almost unex ampled in severity for the season. One of the heaviest falls of snow we have remembered for along period oc curred on Wednesday. The Dublin, Cork, Kerry, and Waterford coaches and cars have been many hours be hind time—in some cases five and six. The Dublin mail, due at half-past nine o'clock this morning, did not reach until twenty-five minutes to two o'clock." —Limerick Re porter of yesterday. "KiLcuLLEN.—I regret to say that the poor man's harvest (potatoes) is not only a poor crop, but great . quantities are yet to be dug out in this neighbourhood." —Leinster Express. Doctor Murray has forwarded through Sir John Power, Bart., trustee, his usual subscription of 10/. to the O'Connell Compensation Fund for the present year. James Power, Esq., M.P., has subscribed 10/, his annual contribution to that national measure. A similar sum has been given by . ".0 Resident of Catherine's Parish," Dublin. Fifty poundshas been received by the Secretary, from friends of O'Connell in Edinburgh. We have only room to admit the following additional good news from the provinces. Jatnes Delahunty, Esq., writes from Waterford :—The collection for the Na tional , Fund here to-day, amounts to between 3001 and 4001. exceeding last year's products. Waterford will ever be true to the man who has rescued the people of Ireland from " thraldom and slavery." At Clonmel about 20e/. has been contributed, as per letter from Charles Bianeoni, Esq. From Bel fast, the Treasurer, Hugh Magill, Esq., announces that 170/. will be realised. Enniscorthy produces, we be lieve, 80/. or 901., as notified by Patrick White, Esq., treasurer. Thurles, too, exceeds last year, and will pro duce a similar amount to the foregoing—so writes Martin Quinlan, Esq., treasurer. William O'Donnell, Esq., an nounces that Carrick-on-Suir has, at this early stage, furnished near 801—and the consort district of Carrick beg and Newtown will, on the 28th, discharge its duty with like liberality. We learn from Patrick Dowdall, Esq., that Newry, has, under the auspices of the vene rated Right Rev. Doctor Blake, commenced the work with eminent success. This is also stated as regards the purely patriotic union of Kilsaran, county of Louth, by the highly respected pastor, Rev. Thomas Loughran— and that of Ferns and Kilbride, county of Wexford, by the excellent Catholic Rector, Rev. James Roche. Thus the work goes bravely on at all points ; and of this new proofs will be given day after day in the most substantial form from the parishes of every county, diocese, and province of the kingdom.—Dublin Paper. ROYAL MEDICO-BOTANICAL SO- CIETY. On Wednesday this Society held the first general meet ing of its twenty-second session, at the Chambers, in Sackville:.street, Piccadilly. H. Cook, Esq., jun., in the Chair. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the last meeting, and informed the members that several valuable presents of seeds, exotic plants, and foreign medicinal preparations had been received from various Correspondents, amongst whom were conspicuous their Noble President Arl Stanhope, Mrs. Burnet, and a Professor of the University of Prague, whose name we did not catch. The thanks of the Society having been voted with much applause to the several contributors, Dr. SIGMOND was called on, as Professor to the Insti tution, to offer some observations to the assembled mem bers and visitors upon the opening of the new Session. The Learned Professor thought the occasion would be a fitting one to take a comprehensive view of all that had been done since the formation of the Institution, that is, within the last quarter of a century, to add to the magni ficent science of which that Society was the cultivator; and to the noble profession to which he had the honour to belong. Yet, to go through even a brief account of all that had been done for the promulgation of light and s thealleviation Of dis ase, would occupy far more time than the occaSiom 411-of. - _, : He would observe, that although many. 01* plans Which were now laid aside, because past experiehee left a doubt upon their utility ; yet a drab mitilit come when they should be discovered to pos sess principles and ingredients of important benefit to man. `Chemistry had done much to bring into use the beneficial properties of medicines, of which, before, the value was unknoWn Or uncertain. This was especially 1 the case in respect to alkalies produced from American vegetables ; for instance, the various species of the ge nus cinchona. This genus was of peculiar interest to the botanist, and to the „lover of mankind. He could not dwell upon the difficulties-which originally were thrown in the way of its introduction, both by the medical pro fession and the public. Even . Sydenham Encountered great difficulties in his attempts to apply the remedy to be derived from cinchona in a safe and beneficial form. Whilst the medicine was efficiently used upon the Conti nent, the great Cromwell was allowed to die of inter mittent fever, because the mode of administering it was unknown in this country. Sydenham, since that time, discovered that the interval between the fits was the time to administer the medicine, when the patient appeared to require none, whereas its administration during the fever was dangerous or fatal. When that product of cinchona called " quina," was first introduced ignorance of its actual properties produced the new disease to which the name of " quininism" was given. It also produced painful neuralgic disease and tic doloreux, which quinine cures.—(Hear). He passed then to " morphia," and " narcotine," two principles obtained from opium —the former was the exciting, the latter the sedative, prin ciple. The former abounded most in the opium of the East Indies, the latter in the Turkish opium'; and this was so well known by the Chinese, that they always selected the Indian drug. Opium was a most beneficent medicine when properly used ; and the old pharmacopoeia contained many excellent preparations of it, which we understood him to prefer greatly to morphia. The Learned Professor then re lated the history, and discussed the properties of prussic or hydrocyanic acid, which, under the regulations of the Apothecaries' Hall, requiring that all persons should sell it of the same strength, was now used with the great est advantage. He next came to "strychnia," an alkali derived from " nux vomica." The nut itself might be administered in certain forms with benefit, but the extract was the most ferocious poi son known ; and he warned all his friends against its use. Even Magendie, who recommended strychnia, acknowledged, that upon the application of the drug ex - ternally, or rather. enderndcally, the patient in one secon d dropped dead; so instant was the working of this terrible poison. Even those. who touched a person la bouring under the 'effects of the drug were affected by it, RDA felt as it were an electric shock pass through their also d . .. f ;---1 1 15- 1 use7another' 7-7---------7 bodies.

After some routkuc m kusiness, the meeting adjourned to the Bth of December.. : . SPAIN. We have received advices from Barcelona of the 16th inst., which contain fuller particulars of recent events in that city. The Constitucional states that a general meet ing of the authorities -tin& of the Commandants of the National Guard was .heldifbn the 12th, at which it was decided, in spite of the opposition of some Exaltados, the enemies of all , order and legality, says the Constitu clonal, that .the ,orders of the Government should be obeyed. On the. 15th, the constitutional Alcaldes of Barcelona, following up this decision, issued a proelatat don, ordering—First, that .40 National Guards 'Should assemble in arms in any part of the 'capital, unle'ss.or .dered to do so by the competent authcirities; secondly, that every person violati ng this order shoeicl"be - treated as a rebel ; and, thirdly, that all personsVsembling under pretext, uttering seditious cries, orliialting any demonstration against the legitimate' authorities, should also be treated as rebels. On the same day General Van Halen issued his proclamation, declaring the city in a state of siege, and placing all the authorities under his own immediate control, and also the following pro clamation " Inhabitants of Barcelona—ln execution of the orders of the Government ,I have just entered the capital with the troops under. my orders. My mission consists in executing, in all their extent the superior 'orders of the Regent of the kingdom. The constant will and desire of his Highness are thafekin this industrious city, the em pire ofthe laws anskithe triumph of the' constitutional cause may be inkirred;;and that public order and personal safety may be consolidated: • To attain this object under the direction of 'one supreme authority, seconded by the other authorities in their respective spheres, and in con formity with the orders of the Regent, I have in another proclamation, dated this day, declared the city in a state of siege. This exceptional state of things, far from hav ing a tendency to diminish civil and political rights, will tend, I assure you, to your protection and aid. I will einploy the extraordinary powers, which are en trusted tp me only, for the chastisement of the guilty, and by legal means. I will neglect nothing for the com pletion, as far as possible, of the orders of the''Govern ment, within the limits of the laws. lam much pleased that before my entry into the capital,. the 'constitn 7 tional Alcaldes had thought proper to adopt measures for the maintenance of public order, according to the terms of the proclamation' which has been pub lished. Desiring to confirm this salutary arrange ment, and to give to it.. all the support in my power, I order, therefore, as . follows:—Article 1. Every per son belonging to - the National Guard, or non military, who shall appear in the streets armed, or employ his arms against public order, and therefore con sidered as a rebel, shall be shot.—Art. 2. Persons armed and acting as the Municipal Guard, or as flying-patrol, are excepted from the above.--=Art. 3 is in the same words as Art. 3 of the proclamation of the Alcaldes.— Art. 4. Every person who by speech or writing shall disobey; or excite to disobedience of my orders, made in virtue of the powers conferred upon me by the Govern ment, shall be regarded as a rebel.—Art. 5. In order to try those who may violate the . preceding orders, there shall be created a military commission, which shall con form itself to the provisions of the law of April 17, 1821, and to the last decisions come to respecting riots and disorder. "The COUNT .DE PERACAMPS (Van Haien)." THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO. In the New York papers which arrived about a week ago, there was an account of the sanguinary contest in Mexico, brought down to the 2d of September. How ever, in the German papers which reached town yester day, we find later intelligence. A private letter, dated from the Mexican capital September 14, received by a house in Hamburgh, gives a variety of details, from which we make a few extracts : " MEXICO, SEPT. 14. " About midnight en the 31st of August I hastened to the window in consequence of an uncommon noise in the street. I saw an immense number of people running here and there. At first I thought they were avoiding the rain, which was then falling very heavily, but I soon observed that our neighbours were carefully shutting and fastening their windows. Very soon, to my great astonishment, I learned that General Valencia, a near re lation of the PI eiident Bustamente, who a few years ago, fought against the revolution, and who on that account received within these few weeks the honourable prese tation of a valuable sabre, had declared against the Government. I ' ere such men are apt Laid to rebel, they only pronounce, and the rebels call themselves' Pronun ciados.' The best troops have proneunced with General Valencia, and he has taken possession of the citadel, which was once a tobacco manufactory, but is now for tified and surrounded by a ditch. The number of the insurgent troops is said to have varied from,7oo to 2,000, but it is not thought that Valencia will venture to do much until Santa Anna comes from Vera Cruz. The President Bustamente has a very inferior force. Ile has left the Palace, and was on the Ist instant in the Monas tery of St. AUgustin, near which I live. During the whole of that night I heard the soldiers calling out their watchwords, Quiezi vive!' sentinela alerte . All warehouses and stores have been closed since the Ist. That morning there was a good deal of firing from St. Augustin ; but I understand it was directed only against the route taken by some deserters, who were making their escape. " On the 7th the Cortes was declared in a state of siege. On the 11th the President advanced with his troops against the Citadel, but he soon fell back, as he was afraid of being cut off. It is said that Santa Anna is in Peroti, and it is thought he will not be able to ad vance any further, as it is said the Government has f p r o o s m t e d p a 7 s o s o i n cavalry r. l i a n i n such of p a umeballner as to prevent him " Since the French blockade, the Government is afraid of giving offence to European Powers. A bulletin has therefore been addressed to the foreigners, desiring them to put out their national flags on their houses, so that if there should be any plundering, it should all fall upon the Mexicans only ; but as yet no flags have ap peared. The Archbishop went yesterday to the Ca thedral to try to make peace, but the Pronunciados will not listen to him. General Paredes is expected to arrive on the 17th with fourteen pieces of cannon and 3,000 men. It is probable that Bustamente will then be abandoned by all his troops. The leaders have issued long proclamations, addressed to their respective parti sans ; that of Bustamente is dated the 10th, Valencia's is dated the 13th." EMIGRATION PROJECT OF THE GOVERNMENT. It is announced that the Cabinet will bring forward, next Session, an extensive measure of emigration, as•one of the means of relieving public distress. We-believe a well considered system of emigration to be a desirable measure iu an old and densely -peopled country ; which has immense colonies : it may, in some degree, benefit the mother-country, and' still more the dependency— may give a population to the latter, and customers to the former. It is, however, in the first instance, an expensive and a slowly-operating method of relief; and it cannot be concealed, that our colonies have hitherto entailed upon us great cost to defend them in war, and to give them the monopoly of our market in peace. Such dangers ought to be guarded against in future. For ourselves, we regard the emigration of Englishmen more as a benefit to the world at large, by spreading the religion, the civilization, the arts, and the literature of England, than as any material advantage to this coun try. But when the avowed object of emigration is to relieve the superabundant population of Great Britain, we cannot avoid putting in our strong protes;. against the assumption that our population is superabundant, until the monstrous and wicked policy of preventing our people from importing food to maintain themselves at home shall have been abandoned, and wo have tried whether Britain may not support its present, or even a much larger, population in comfort and prosperity. Why should we send the flower of our industrious workmen and tradesmen to the Antipodes, to raise their food from the wilderness, when, if allowed to obtain, it from neighbouring countries, thqpight employ their ener gies amidst all the comforts-4tlaeir native home ; and, by increasing the population auk wealth of our own island, augment its power and its influence in the world? Is it not a perfect burlesque on statesmanship, to banish your people across the globe, because you d w t h h i e l s a t , it if is is there for won't let them eat European corn at hom e ? Whilst bread is sixty per cent. cheaper on theit t 0 0 0u t t h h e of the made Straits permanently m D a n o: n e t r l y t h a a a n b i y t is ` law, on whatthe north,prete pretence en d talking of emigration ?

THE BLUSH OF DAwN.—We learn from the Manchester Times, that at the conclusion of the business for iwhich the Anti-Corn-law deputies had been fpoarrt thorough of the spe cially convened , the c h air having. been vacated and a new chairman appointed , JosePh stSturges.,,,,_ , of Birmingham, brought for w ard the ' qu e , t i on "l o . f complete suffrage.

Deputies, might be published, was passed unanimously. This is the first blush of daNvnafter a long pOlitical n i g h t. In as far as it goes, it is a courteous, manl y , noble move on the part of the League towards reconciliation with the labouring classes.—Nonconformist. THE OLDHAM BRANCH RAILWA".I.---W e were in error in stating that the Oldham Branch Rail. way (copied from a Liverpool paper) would be partially opened in July or August next. We expect it will be opened throughout by the Ist of March. POPULATION OF LANCASHIRE. The official account of the population of each county in Great Britain, which wa give e:se'.here, enables us to arrive at some facts strikingly illustrative of the great and increased importance of this manufacturing county ; which has now become the first county in England, and indeed, in the United Kingdom, in amount of population. Yorkshire, which in every preceding census stood first, is now the second county in this respect, and Middle. sex is the third, it having hitherto stood second ; so that the population of Lancashire has increased with such rapidity during the last ten years, as to advance it from the rank of third to that of the first county in the kingdom in this respect. It is interesting to mark the gradual rise and development of these three great coun ties in point of population, as exhibited in the following figures : Census of Lancashire. Yorkshire. Middlesex. 1801 672,731 858,892. 818,129 1811 828,309 986,174 953,276 1821 1,052,859 1,173,187 1,144,531 1831 1,336,854 1,371,359 1,358,330 1841 1,667,064 1,591,584 1,576,616 Lancashire has, therefore, the largest population of any county in the kingdom,—numbering 75,480 more inhabitants than Yorkshire, and 90,448 more inhabi tants than Middlesex (which includes so large a portion of the metropolis itself). But the importance of this county, in reference to the number of its population, is equally striking when we take its area, compared with that of Yorkshire, as in the followed figures : Area in Statute Acres. Area in Square Miles. Yorkshire . . 3,81.5,040 . . .5,961 Lancashire. . 1,171,840 . . 1,831 These figures enable us to ascertain that the popula tion of Lancashire is at the rate of 9101 inhabitants to every square mile of its surface, while in Yorkshire the number of inhabitants is only 267 to the square mile. Another mode of showing the vast relative impor tance of this great county is, to find bow many of the smaller counties of England are required to make up an aggregate of population equivalent to that of Lan cashire. Let us take, for instance, Bedfordshire, Berk shire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Dorsetshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Mon mouthshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Rutland, and Westmoreland—thirteen counties ; and we find that their aggregate population is just 1,666,570 ; so that in the whole of these counties there aro really 494 fewer inhabitants than in this single county. It would lead us too far astray to contrast the respective legis have power and influence of these two masses of po pulation ; but these facts cannot fail to claim for this county a larger share of attention and respect on the part of the Executive than it is receiving even at the present time. A respected Contemporary, in a neigh bouring county, observes, that the three counties of Lancaster, York, and Middlesex, compaise 4,835,264 inhabitants, nearly one-third of the whole population of England.—Manchester Guardian. EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE. A VESSEL BROUGHT FROM THE WEST INDIES BY TWO MEN. Oa Tuesday eveniag the schooner Whim, Captain Kerridge, belonging to Harwich, arrived in the West India Import Dock from St. Domingo, with a cargo of mahogany, after a passage of sixty-four days. The voyage was performed under the most extraordinary circumstances, and is, we believe, unparalleled in the annals of navigation. The crew of the Whim, on leaving St. Domingo, consisted of five persons—viz., the captain, mate, two men, and a boy. Four days after sailing, the mate, George Struts (unmarried, but the only support of a widowed mother), caught a severe cold during a suc cession of tremendous gales, which prevented him from attending to his duty, and notwithstanding the usual remedies, which were kindly furnished by the captain, he gradually got worse, and on the twelfth day he ex pired. Next morning his body was consigned to a grave in the abyss of the ocean, the prayers for the dead having been previously read over it by the master. Captain Kerridge being thus deprived of the services of his chief officer, his duties were necessarily rendered doubly laborious and irksome ; but, unfortunately, he had soon to contend with greater hardships and privations. A few days after the death of the mate, one of the seamen, named Michael Shey, a native of Kinsale, Ire land, was attacked with a lingering disease, and being confined to his hammock in the forecastle, he was unable to perform any kind of duty. In this state he has arrived with the vessel in the West India Import Dock. About the time of the mate's death the appren tice got also disabled, in consequence of a severe ulcer ated leg, which made him unable to stand, and he, too, has been brought home an invalid, and it is feared am putation of the leg will become necessary to save his life. There was now only left the captain and one seaman, named John Lilly, to bring the schooner to England, a distance of nearly 4,000 miles ! This they deemed a task almost impracticable ; but, as their own lives, ves sel, and valuable cargo must be sacrificed if they did not persevere, Captain Kerridge, and his only remaining seacuan (Lilly), resolved on prosecuting at all hazards the voyage. Tee weather was, at the advanced period of the season, unusually tempestuous, Capt. Kerridge stating that he never experienced such a continuation of heavy gales, at times approaching to a hurricane. The foreyard and part of the schooner's sails were blown away during one of these tornados, and they were not replaced by others, the captain having to steer the ves sel, and one man being incapable of making a refit of sails, &e. In this partly disabled state the voyage was continued, and Capt. Kerridge and Lilly, when almost worn out with fatigue, descried a ship at some distance from them, and, on nearing each other, Capt. Kerridge solicited from the master of the stranger vessel one of his crew to assist him, at the same time acquainting him with his distressed condition. Capt. K. was answered by the master that he also was short of his crew, and could not spare any of his men. Capt. Kerridge did not fall in with another vessel until he reached longitude 15 W. Having perceived a sail at a short distance, he hoisted a signal flag, and the ship, belonging to St. John's, New Brunswick, and bound for Liverpool, immediately bore down upon him, and the captain kindly gave Capt. Kerridge one of his crew. Thus manned, the Whim successfully accom plished the remainder of the voyage, and that notwith standing having been exposed to the late disastrous gales. Strange to state, Captain Kerridge did not have a chronometer on board the Whim, and his arrival from St. Domingo, under all these extraordinary circum stances, is almost a miracle. The schooner and her valuable cargo are, we under thnd, partly insured, and as the owners, underwriters, and others, have been, by Capt. Kerridge's unexampled courage and indomitable perseverance; as also that of Lilly the seaman, prevented from sustaining a heavy loss, it is to be hoped that such untiring zeal, suffering and fatigue, will not be permitted to go unrewarded. The above facts are specially deserving the kind con sideration of Lloyd's. THE CHRISTIAN POWERS AND TURKEY. BERLIN, Nov. 6.—The result of the negotiations commenced by Russia, in order to obtain for the Evan gelical Christians of the German nation the same 'ad vantages in the Turkish Empire, especially in Palestine and Syria, as are enjoyed by the Christians of the Latin and Greek Churches, excite general interest. It is, in fact, so interesting an event in modern 'history that it seems desirable to obviate involuntary misunderstanding by a simple narrative of the occasion and object of the negotiation. The concord of the great Powers of Europe, to which the Turkish empire is indebted for its independence and the world for peace, offered an opportunity essentially to improve the situation of the German Evangelical Christians in the East. To profit by this opportunity in a manner worthy of its political position, was considered by Prussia as a sacred duty, especially, because it might be foreseen, with much probability, that the great im pulse given to the commercial intercourse between nations, would also increase the connection of German Protestants in the East, and, perhaps, lead to the founda tion of settlements by them in those countries. Seen in a general point of view, it might perhaps have appeared deficient. for the promotion of science, industry, and trade ; and also for the facilitating settle ments, if Prussia had only aimed at procuring for all its subjects independence, without difference of religion as far as they needed it, whether as travellers or as set tlers, that legal protection for their persons and pro perty which the Hatti Scherif of Gulhane had promised; but, in the pursuance of these objects, it appeared in what a much more advantageous position the King was in respect to his Roman Catholic, than in respect - to his Protestant subjects. These objects appeared to be closely connected with certain religious rites and privileges. The Latin and Greek Church in the East are distinct bodies, with common discipline and orders, founded on ancient treaties, and therefore enjoy in this capacity the benefit of being acknowledged, which includes the most important political rights. The Greek Church en joys the protection of the Emperor of Russia, and the Latin Church that of the great Roman Catholic Powers. The Prussian Government needs only to join in the en deavours of the latter sufficiently to remove all obstacles that must still exist to the particular interests of its Ro man Catholic subjects. The Protestant Church, on the other hand, was destitute, up to the latest time, of all legal recognition. What State of the Continent could more naturally desire that, in the present state of the world, they also might enjoy similar corporate pri vileges than Prussia, which has among its subjects more' than half of all the members of the Protestant Church in 9- erm any? and ought n ot t he Protes t a n t Church, as a i iheinber,of the Catholic Church of Christ, to possess the ' iif:t i i" t ;itinstructing its adherents in the science of th e B;gin of Christianity, and freely to proclaim evangelical truth according to their confession and liturgy ? Under these circumstances the Prussian Government would not in d!itY be deterred by the difficulties of various kinds, which opposed the attainment of an object or so intimately c onnected with the religious appreciation of the nation. The questi on was, with a just all the circumstances, to look for the way which might mcst certainly lead to the proposed and partial negotia tions with the Porte, notwithstandin g the very amicable relations between the two Governments offered no pro spect of real success. The Turkish Government does not yet feel the immediate connexion of Prussia with the East. The Porte knows Prussia only as a great European Power, by whose agreement with other great Powers its safety is guaranteed. The relations of Great I Britain with the Porte are very different. England, by its naval power and its commerce, possesses great influ ' ence in the East. A union with England, whose Church, in its origin and doctrines, is closely allied to the Ger ' man Evangelical Church, appeared therefore to be the surest means of obtaining the important object. The negtoiation to be opened for this purpose de pended, however, on the previous question whether Great Britain was inclined to do justice to the inde. pendence and national honour of the German Evange lical Church, and to treat this affair in perfect union with Prussia, on the fixed principle that Protestant Christen. dom, under the protection of England and . Prussia, ' should appear to the Turkish Government as one Power, and thus obtain from it all the advantages of being legally recognised. The steps which were taken to settle the previous question had the most satisfactory results. Not only did the British Government show itself ready with decided good will to enter into the subject on the basis proposed, but the heads of the English Church entered with warm interest into the proposal. All parties agreed in the opinion that the diversities of Christian worship, according to languages and nations, and accord ing to the peculiarities and historical develop ment of each nation, that is to say in the Protestant Church, is upheld by a superior Unity, the Bead of the Church himself ; and that is this unity to which all the diversities refer, as in their centre lies the foundation of true Christian toleration. Besides this conviction, his Majesty the King too warmly participates in the reli gious sympathies of the nation, which are so intimately interwoven with the origin of the Augsburg Confession, and the recollection of the champions of the faith of the German Protestant Church, to have consented to any thing contrary to this firm common basis of the entire German Protestant Church. By a cordial co-operation, directed in this spirit, a distinct Bishopric , has been founded in Jerusalem, in which all Protestant Christians may find a common support and point of union, in respect of the Turkish Government, and in all cases where their representation, as one Church, , may be necessary; while at the same time the German Protestants preserve the independence of their Church. With respect to their particular con fession and liturgy, his Majesty the King provides one half of the expense of the Bishopric, and he participates therefore with the crown of England in the right of nominating the Bishop. Thus the religious wants of the new Bishopric would be provided for ; but as a religious community cannot be blessed with prosperity, except in union with the instruc tion of youth, and the care of the sick, a still greater support is to be expected for this purpose from the pious interests and charity of the Protestant Christians in Prussia and other German countries. The foundation of an hospital is specially important, in which travellers, who will be m ore numerous l y attracted to Jerusalem by scientific inquiries, religious interest, or other objects may be received, in case they should need assistance. In reference to the above, the Minister of Ecclesias tical Affairs has addressed two circulars to the Provin cial Governments and to the Consistories, recapitulating the preceding statements, and informing them that it is his Majesty's pleasure that a general collection shall be made in all the Protestant Churches of the Prussian Monarchy. The sum collected to be sent to the Minister, M. Eichhorn. The Consistories are especially desired to take into consideration the important object to which the collec tion is to be applied, and as his Majesty has this object so much at heart, they are enjoined to impress it on the minds of their Protestant brethren.—Prussian State Gazette. A breach of promise of marriage action, men tioned in the Globe a few evenings since, as having been brought by a lady, aged 18, against a gentleman of ad vanced years, and in opulent circumstances, and in which the damages are laid at 5,0001., is made special, and stands fin- hearing in the Queen's Bench, 7th December. The brief runs to 2,000 folios, and the case excites great interest. THE WEATHER IN RUSSIA.—The Moscow Gazette says, that the excessive heat which has prevailed during the whole summer in the government of Kishoma, has caused extensive fires in the forests, which continued till the middle of September in spite of all the exertions made to stop their progress, and that they did not cease. The Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway Company have established at their great central station, at Wolverton, an infant school and day school for boys and girls, the children of their artificers and servants at that place, They have also provided a read ing room and library ; and on Sunday next, a chapel, licensed by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, will be opened for divine service. The Marseilles journals relate the following lamentable accident:—On the evening of the 17th int. the steam towing-vessel Utile, Captain Andrac, was bringing into the harbour two vessels, heavily laden with coals, when one of them was found likely to be drawn under water. Upon this the men of the steamer called to those in the vessel in question to cut the hawse, and take to their boat. This was done while the lope was at its full stretch, and the re coil was so violent, that it struck Captain Andrac on the head, threw him to a distance against the bulwarks, split his skull, and killed him. In the confusion both of the barges sunk, and of three men who were in them, one only was saved by the boat of the Utile. The Propagateur of Troyes states that the boni face of an inn at Brot, in the Aube, having been long subject to violent attacks of rheumatism, of which the innumerable remedies applied had failed to cure him, his wife and niece, under the advice of a village doctress, covered the whole of the good man's body with leaves of the plane-tree, which they sewed together into a kind of primitive garment, and then put him into a sack, tied close round his neck, leaving his head out, and his respiration free. When the oven was discharged of its batch of bread, the good man was laid on a board, and slid into it, still hot. In a few minutes his cries be came piercing, but no other attention was paid by his well meaning torturers than to assure him that his pain was proof of his progress to a cure. Signs of his being at the last gasp were at length perceived, and he was drawn out, shouting lustily, but quite in opposition to his usual habits, for water. The niece dreading the effects of a potation so averse to her half-baked uncle, ran to the well, and, filling a large pail with its produce, poured it over him. The shock produced such an effect, combined with the heat, that the poor man died almost imme diately in excruciating torments. " Two boys, one not thirteen years of age, and the other only ten, were arrested," says the Journal de Reims, " the other day at Rethel, on a charge of having stolen 1,057 francs from a notary of Sedan, in whose office one of them was employed as a junior clerk. When arrested, they had only 232 francs left of the money, although they had spent only a few francs, for at Mezieres, at an inn where they had stopped, they had taken alarm, and set off hastily, leaving a bag containing 750 fr. behind them. It appears that they had quitted Sedan with the intention of entering the navy, but the fatigue which they had undergone, and the constant state of alarm which they had been in, had induced them to make up their minds to return home before they were arrested." Queen Adelaide is a German Tory, but her Majesty was unjustly maligned in 1834 as the cause of the dismissal of the first Melbourne Cabinet. The memorable announcement of that sudden event in the Times, that " the Queen had done it all," is now known to have been a false imputation. In fact, but for the natural irritation of that indiscreet and unauthorised attack on the then Queen, it is well known William the Fourth would hare re-considered his imprudent resolu tion. The Duke of Wellington, at Brighton, advised the King to retain the Whig Ministry, but the exaspe rated Monarch pointed to the insult offered to his wife. History will hereafter reveal more curious particulars of the cabals of that year, which had no relation to Queen Adelaide.—Correspondent of the Scotsman. SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning a young man, of the name of William Henry Gosling, who resided in Queen-street, Chelsea, maker of emery and glass papers, after being out all night drinking, returned home about half-past seven o'clock, when, on his wife reproaching him for his folly, he took up his hat, walked out of the house, and threw himself into the Thames. A person of the name of 'Wells, who was passing at the time, gave an alarm, who, with several others, made a sea rch for the body, but they could not find it. His unfortunate wife is left with two children to fight their way through the world. TELEGRAPH TO DovErt.—The London ter minus, at the end of Tooley-street, London-bridge, of the telegraphic communication between London and Dover, has just been finished, and the whole line will be opened in a few days. The intermediate stations are situated on elevated spots, at Forest-hill, Peckham-rye, Knock hol;: Beeches, Wrotham ; Blue Bell-hill, Chatham Isle of Sheppy, Whitstable , Herne Bay, Min s t er , B road ! tairs, and Deal. A NEW TORY MAGIST R ATE. -. .Amongst the six new Tory Magistrates just introduced into the Com mission of the Peace for this city, we find the name of Matthew Pierpoint, Esq., who, on Monday, the 28th of June, at the close of a speech which he made, or rather roared, to the people from the Hop -pole Inn, shouted out at the highest pitch of his voice, and with gestures which answered well to the words, " Down with the b—y Whigs," three times consecutively. Is his pre sent appointment a reward for the active part he took at the last election, and amongst his other notable doings, for this coarse and furious denunciation of the Whigs ? The putting such a man upon a commission charged with the preservation of the peace would lead us to infer that we have no peace—nothing but partizanship to expect from the Tory Ministry.— Worcestershire Chronicle. BREAD AND BARRACKS.—Not more dis pleasing to the Parisians is the fortification of Paris, than must be the efforts now making to erect more bar racks in L ancas hi re and the surrounding parts. Ashton have and De r b y are already thus favoured, and proposals _ been mad e f rom t h e Home-off i ce and t h e Horse Graham Guards to have B o l ton thus fortified.
