The Termigant and Sphvnx steam-vessels are in process of being rigged by the dockyard and steam squadron riggers to take the place of vessels with drawn from the advanced steam force at this port. The Britannia, 120, will be brought down in a few days to be overhauled, not having been repaired during the last three years. It has been rumoured that this ship will be commissioned as a sea service guard ship at this port, but we regret to say we can not trace the rumnour to any sound thundation. POIITsMULTII GARRISON. Major General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, G.C.11., brigaded the 4th, 77th, and 91st Regiments yesterday, near Lump's Farm, on Southsea-common. The men, after having v , ,keit off their knapsacks, erected their tents, and pitched their camp equip•age, cooking their dinners upon the ground, as if bi vouacking on a field of active service. The men seemed to enjoy the duty, wh:ch to a vast number of them was a novelty. They we-re allmi ed. after dinner to amuse themselves with foothill, racing, jumping, singing, &c., affording much recreation among them selves and amusement to the public assembled. His Lordship gave a .pie-nie to a select pariy on the ground, who much enjoyed the sports of the soldiers. The brigade afterwards advanced upon the town, covered by the light infantry companies, and were marched off to their quarters. MALTA, OCT. 22.—The French steamer from Mar seilles and the coast of Sicily, due here on the 15. h inst., has not made her appearance. A beautiful French steam-frigate, called the Ma gellan, arrived yesterday. It is said she will leave immediately for the Dardanelles. v ~.-,::::,- ..,..... -, v r 7-1 -_~t....,:4-:., ~.41.5...t ,4 i 1 --- t ,000,1 iNf4 i , TA ' 'l, ‘K's 7 t . ct"-'. , ,/ ......;A S. ,ntiti a poi N ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. es of its in 1849, _ 26, Cornhill, Loudon.

This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages With respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. - Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needful, whilel lying. The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, bell on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 05 per cent. on the Premiums paid an each Policy effected on the profit scale.

For his own part, he had no hesitation in saying be fore that meeting—and he would, if necessary, repeat it boldly in every corner of this realm—that thos( papers did not represent the public mini or feeling of this country.—(Loud cheers.) But that, on the con trary, they had ou every eceasion most foully misre presented and belied it.—(Cheers.) He was rejoiced at the display of enthusiasm thus exhibited, be• cause the illustrious foreigners then present would see that the English people sympathised with and felt for all that was distinguished for liberty and patriotism.—(Cheers.) Not that they were advocates of violence or anarchy, for those foreigners present, he might say, were convinced that the cause of free dom gained nothing by the sword, but that it was by the interchange of ideas and the creation of a public opinion and public feeling that the liberties of a country were gained and permanently preserved.— (Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman then read letters of apology from M. Beschieres ' President of the Peac e Congress of Fra nce ; th e Abb6 de Gerout, M. F. Beauvois, M. Coquerel, a French Protestant clergy man ; M. Victor Hugo, M. de Lamartine, the Arch bishop of Paris, M. Cormenini. M. E. de Girardin, editor of La Presse, all expressing their deep and sincere regret that circumstances prevented them being present at the _e.biting4 The letter of M. de Lamartine, in particuLar, was received with great applause. The secretary also read letters of apology from Charles liindley, Esq., M.P., dated Vienna ; Pro fessor Carvoy, from Germany, &c. The Rev. W. BROCK proposed a resolution to the effect " That this meeting desire to express its grati tude to the Great Ruler of nations for the signal suc dceusrsintghatthehady e a a t r t , e e nded t spec ia ie labours lllyinconnexionof h with committee the Peace Congress at Paris, in the month of August last." _ _ _ on the 110 miles in operation during that period, ara at the rate per mile of 1,3201. per annum, or 251/. per week. Caledonian--Cost of construction, 34,5001. per mile —to pay 5 per cent. on which, after deducting half of the traffic for working expenses, requires per mile 3,4501. per annum, or 66 13t per week. The l'ast re turns give an average on 159 miles of 1,7231. per annum, or 331. per mile. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee (late Edinburgh and Northern)—Cost of construction, 28,500/ per mile—to pay 5 per cent. on which, after deduction of half traffic for working expenses, require a revenue per mile of 2,850/. per annum, or nearly 551. per week. By last half-year's returns, the average revenue on each of the 71 miles in operation is 1,4701. per annum, or 27 1 3/. per week. Scottish Central—Cost of construction, 30,300/ to pay 5 -per cent. on which, after deducting half of traffic for working expenses, requires a revenue per mile of 3,030/. per annum, or upwards of 58/. per mile. Owing to the manner in which the revenue strictly belonging to this line is, in the directors' report, intermixed with the transactions with the so called guaranteeing companies, ,we cannot state the case with precision ; but as nearly as we can extri cate the requisite items from the mass, the revenue proper per mile is somewhat under 1,3001. per annum, or 25/. per week. The Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Ayr has received so much additional mileage during the last few months that we cannot get a sufficiently long period without alteration from which to draw safely similar results to the above. Of the hundred miles or so at present working, the cost of construction per mile has been about 26,600/., to pay five per cent. on which, after deducting half traffic for working expenses, requires a revenue per mile of 2,600/. per annum, or above 51/. per week. The return for last week (but it must be remembered that all the returns at this season are above the annual average) gives 1,5601. per annum or 30/. per week. The annual average (if we had avail able returns for six consecutive months, as in the other cases) would probably give about 1,400/. per annum, or _271. per week. 13, Great Marlborough-street. • COLBURN HAS JUSI PUBLISHED, i TEE MAID OF ORLEANS.

The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society.

No doubt the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Muse i `orgot the Coal Exchange ; And, therefore, a s the Queen's to came, I'll greet her, I 3 Y writing on the coals a little metre. My burning loyalt y I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for another. The Queen, no dont it, will find her subjects give her A very warm recepi ion on the river. Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable op ening forms my theme ; For, oh ! each portion of the pile is rife, With fond ideas of hon to and homely life. And now, shall I be quu'ttlng the sublime, By introducing Moses in my rhyme ? No : Moses, who have lo ng enjoyed control, Are nobs in trade—l don"t mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is s'o well made That it has long en,ured a dare-up trade. Moses and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke, Have given monopoly a timely poke ; May I not add, too, that the Coal Exc'laage Is not by any means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot' arrange, To exchange your goods with out a word's exchange ; And hence it is that such a st iris made By Messrs. Moses in their flansing trade. LIST OF P. !ICES.

It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Harris left home in the afternoon to visit friends at Broomfield, leaving a younger son and another lad, 18 years of age, to take care of the house. Soon after they had left, Richard Such, aged 15 (son of Mrs. Such, the village postmis.ress), James Bush, son of a blacksmith, and W. Horsnell, called in to sit with young Harris, with whom they were acquainted, and whilst the latter went out to get some water, Bush, seeing a patent walking- stick gun hang up about 6 feet from the floor, took it down from the ceiling to examine it. Whilst so doing the contents exploded, and the charge was lodged in the right side of Such, who was sitting by the fire, and had cautioned Bush that " the gun might be loaded." Seeing the accident of which unhappily he had beers the cause, Bush immediately ran for the assistance of Mr. Barlow, surgeon, who promptly attended, but life was found to be extinct. The guts when taken down by Bush was covered with dust, and Mr. Harris, who was not aware that it was loaded, supposes it must have been so for three months, whe❑ it was used by an elder sun, who was visiting him from London, an interval during which be believes it had not heen touched. THE KING'S• ROAD, EATON. SQU ARE.—It is under stood that an arrangement will speedily bo come to by which the misunderstanding existing between the owner of the property and the local authorities on the subject of lighting, Sta., the portion of Eaton-square called the King's-road, will be removed, and the place restored to a state more in keeping with the importance and cha racter of time locality. It is believed that the public mention which has recently been made on the subject has laiid the effect of urging the attention of the parties concerned to the disgraceful state of things which has so lone been suffered to exist to the serious inconvenieace of theneightmurhood and the general public. The fine weather h is caused the annoyance to be not so seriously felt as would have been the case if it had, as usual at this late period of the season, been otherwise, but it can not reasonably be expected to continue, and therefore the advent of dark nights and bad weather renders it abso lutely necessary, for the convenience and safety of the public, and the credit of all concerned, that the present state of the place be remedied without any further delay. TUE MURDER AT PIECOMBE.—A roan named Banks is in custody at Brighton, where he has under gone an examination in private on a charge of being concerned in the murder of Mr. George Stonehouse Griffith, at llakegate, in February last. The utmost secrecy is observt d by the police; and the only thing which had transpired is that his apprehension has been caused by some statement made by a poacher now under sentence at Lewes. OPENING OF THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.—This railway was opened for general traffic, from Dublin to Cork, on Monday. I THE PEACE CONGRESS. One of the most numerous meetings witnessed fur a long period was held last evening in Exeter-hall to receive a report from the Peace Congress Committee, and to submit for consideration the future measures proposed for carrying on the peace movement. Among the distinguished foreigners present were General Klspka, the Hungarian commander of the b:sieged forces lately in Comorn, and General Uiza, the governor of the citadel, both of whom excited general attention ; M. Horace Say, Councillor of State in France, M. Frederic Bastiat, Representati ve of the People; M. Joseph Gamier, Secretary of the Paris Peace Congress ; M. Guillaumin, editor of the Journal des Economi ales ; M. Leon Say, M. Palonie, M. llypolyte Dusard, Councillor of State, were also present, as well as Samuel Gurney, E q , Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. ; Rev. W. Brock, E. Miall, Esq., President Mahan, of Oberlin College; Charles Gilpin, Esq , Rev. Mr. Richards, J. Sturge, Esq., &c. At half-past six o'clock precisely the chair was taken by Ewart, Esq, M.P. The CHAIRMAN, after returning thanks for the honour conferred on him in calling him to fill so distinguished a position, proceeded to express an ardent hope that before long the practice of war would be loudly condemned and reprobated by the voice of universal Christendom. He hoped the time was approaching when its peace would never again be interrupted with the sounds of war; and the very fact of those blessings which resulted from peace will stamp with infamy, by a verdict of posterity, those deeds, and the men whose acts had ensanguined the page of history. Many terrible atrocities had been committed during those struggles which took plaoe on recent occasions, and he trusted those who escaped, and now resided in England—England which had been at all times a safe asylum for the unfortunate— (Cheers)—would meet with that reception which their merits and misfortunes so eminently entitled them to receive. —(Hear, and cheers.) Turning next to his own countrymen, and looking at the magnificent scene before him, he came to the irresistible conclusion that peace doctrines were now making most extensive progress.—(Hear.) Another meeting would be held to-morrow night in the large town of Birmingham, and on the following night, in the vast town of Manchester, the metropolis of the manufacturing districts, where they were sure to receive a hearty and enthusiastic welcome.— (Cheers.) Perhaps, on that occasion, he might be permitted to advert to the satisfaction which he, in common with all who had seen it, felt by the announcement lately made by his Royal Highness Prince Albert—(Cheers)—with respect to the great commercial congress proposed to he held in London. —(Cheers.) They (the Peace Society) were blamed for holding a Peace Congress in Paris during the present year ; but, in the course of two years, all that was beautiful in art and manufacture to be found in every part of the world, and in every country, would be assembled in their metropolis.— (Cheers.) That noble project would undoubtedly do vast good to the cause of commerce and manufactures; and not alone to their own country, or their own people, but to all of every nation and climate, inasmuch as the exhibition would be thrown open to the industry, and commerce, and skill of the whole world. As a friend of peace, he (the Chairman), respected and honoured Prince Albert—(Cheers) — for the course he had pursued not only did honour to his intelligence and feeling, but, in his opinion, would immortalise his name, and cause it to be hailed with blessings wherever it was known. Then, as to the feeling between England and France, and the danger of a war between those two great nations, he had no hesitation in saying that England wished for the peace, and prosperity, and happiness of France.— (Cheers.) They did not, indeed, in this country wish to see that great nation decked or clothed in the garb of wild revolutionary violence; but they desired that her greatness and majesty should be supported with their ancient dignity.—(Cheers.) Could any country contain within itself greater resources than that mighty kingdom—that mighty republic—(A burst of applause)—if only fairly allowed to develope her gigantic strength, which could only be done by the two principles of liberty and peace. He hoped Eng -1 and and France would enter into an alliance which would not only be enduring, but everlasting, and that, as related by Collins, in one of his stories, of which they must have a ll a reco ll ec ti on, t h e Gaul would be found linked with the Briton, in the holy ties of bro therly love and affection. But they would hear in words far better than he could utter those sentiments from their friends who came from France to honour them by their presence that evening.— (Cheers.) Perhaps he had delayed the meeting already too long —(Cries of " No, no")—but France, England, America, and Belgium, the four freest countries in the world, were for peace ; and he believed those principles would triumph in the end, seeing they were in favour of order, of freedom, of peace, and Christianity. The Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The Rev. Mr. RICHARDS next said, that he was requested by the Peace Congress committee to present them with an account of what had been dente within the last twelve months. He would do so, however, in as brief a manner as he possibly could, by making a few observations, as he preferred doing so to reading a lengthy document in the shape of a report, which, however, would be published in proper time. The Peace Congress Society was established at a meeting held in the Hall of Commerce about that time twelve months. As Mr. Cobden was about to bring the question of arbitration during the ensuing session before Parliament, they used every effort to rouse public attention to the subject; they issued tracts and sent circulars to the clergy men of all religious denominations, and in the end the sound outside of doors made an impression which could not be misunderstood in the Commons House of Parliament. He well recollected that on a previous occasion, when their excellent friend, Charles Hindley, brought forward the question in the same place, it was received with a supreme burst of laughter; and when Mr. Cobden had the moral courage—(Cheers) —last year to follow the example of that Hon. Gen tleman, it was believed that it would have been met in the same way. But what was done outside doors made a great impression on the susceptible minds of their legislators—(A laugh)—and on a division 81 'Members were found to support the motion.—(Cheers) The second duty of the Society was to bring about a Peace Congress in Paris; and for that purpose they deputed their two secretaries, Elihu 13urritt and him self, to proceed to the French capital, in order to obtain the co-operation of some distinguhhed men in that city. They saw M. de Lamartine— (Cheers)—who would have been with them that evening but for the state of his health. They were assisted by M. E. de Girardin and other distinguished gentlemen, some of whom were then present at that meeting. A committee was composed, and M. Gamier appointed secretary, to whose activity and exertions were owing in a great measure the success of the Congress. Every effort was made in Paris, Belgium, and London to effect so desirable an object, and to make it as imposing as possible ; and at length, on the 12th of August, they assembled in the Salle St. Cecilia, presided over by that well known and distinguished writer, Victor Hugo.—(Cheers.) When the names were read over, there were found repre sentatives not only from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, from several departments of France, from Germany, Belgium, Holland, &c.; and not only from those countries, but from the United States of America.—(Cheers.) It was a noble sight to see men who heretofore had been taught to regard each other's country as hostile, now uniting heart and hand to promote the great cause of peace throughout the world.—(Cheers.) In that Congress a resolution was passed declaring arbitration to be the proper mode of settling international disputes by means of a su preme court to be composed ofall nations. It also recom mended that all countries should proceed at once to disarm, and condemned the practice of giving loans and taxes for the purpose of war.—(Hear, hear.) That was what had been done by the Congress dur ing its most important sitting. He could not close his account, however, without returning his grateful acknowledgments to the French Government and people for their generosity and kindness.—(Loud cheers.) in consequence of the condition of France, it was deemed necessary by the authorities that all persons holding meetings should obtain an authoriza tion empowering them to do so, and in their instance the Minister of the Interior granted the authority in the handsomest manner; and not only that, but al lowed them to enter France without passports, and without the customary search of their baggage when they first landed from England.—(Loud cheers.) The Minister of Public Works paid them also the greatest attention; but to the Minister of Foreign Affairs were they principally indebted, for he invited 700 or 800 of the deputies who attended the Congress to partake of the hospitalities of his mansion. If he (Mr. Richards) were asked What good they had done by the Congress of Paris, his answer was, that they linked together the most intelligent of all nations, so that if hereafter the peace of Europe should be menaced by kings or monarchs, a voice should arise which would be heard in the councils of princes and rulers —and not only heard, but understood.—(Cheers.) They had also shown the nations of Europe what the feeling of the public mind in England was, and that certain organs of the press, which set themselves up as the Mr. J. B. SMITH, M P., seconded the resolution. Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY having addressed the meet ng in support of the motion, Mr. COBDEN presented himself as the next speaker, and was received with the most tumultuous cheering, which lasted for several minutes. He commenced by reading the resolution which he was about to pro pose. It was in effect "that this meeting refers,with the highest satisfaction to those assurances of sym pathy in this movement which were conveyed in the letters just read from Paris and other places, and it hails with delight the presence of the gentlemen who have honoured this assembly on the present occasion, which they trust will tend powerfully to advance peace and good-will throughout the world." He said it was exactly two years since this island had been frightened from its propriety by the cry of a threatened invasion from France. They all remembered how great was the alarm on that occasion. He had heard a great deal of talk then of the probability of the French army marching into London at one end, and the Horse-guards marching out of it at the other end.— (Laughter.) They might recollect that the highest military authority in the country had swelled the cry of alarm, and that orders had been given to prepare additional coast defences, and to increase the general armaments of the country, for the purpose of repelling the attacks of hostile France. What, however, did the men of peace do on that occasion ? He could only say for himself it was the wicked cry that was then raised that had brought him into the ranks of the peace party. The peace party stated that they believed the French had no intention of making a wanton attack upon this country. They did more—they , proposed to go and seek this fierce and warlike people. They now came to tell them that they had paid that visit, and that the hand which they had tendered to the French people had been most cordially grasped by them.—(Cheers). He now had the pleasure of seeing a deputation there from France; and, in the name of the association, he begged to tender them his hearty welcome.—(Cheers.) l'he same organs of the press that had tried to per suade the English people that the French were ready to make war upon this country, now told them that they only feared that the French people had become so pacific that they would not take an interest in foreign politics. Did they think that they would ever learn modesty after this exposure ? He would, however, wait until to-morrow morning before he would venture an opinion upon this subject.— (Laughter.) Now, he always liked to take up his position upon what their enemies called their weakest plank. He wanted to show, as a practical man and politician, that he could not only repel an attack made upon his flank, but also that he could demolish these statesmen upon their own ground. The most important kind of state craft was diplomacy. Now he would prove that the advocates of the pace prin ciples were the best diplomatists. They had lately sid warnshad b in theeenrt e balance eain in the tihne respect East. to o r t e b a e t Northern powers. The peace of this country, however, a p p e p ac r e een n was preserved in that quart e r by the understanding nt white existed between France and England.— (Cheers.) But who was it that had occasioned this good understanding ? Was it the men who, two years ago, called out for more steam-docks and more military armaments? No, it was the men who went carer with confidence and amity to France who placed faith in the French people, and who believed they possessed justice and magnanimity. These were the men that had caused this good understanding.— (Cheers.) It was this also that rendered war between Russia and Turkey impossible. What was the other essential of state craft ? Why, finance. Now, what was their financial position just now ? There was a great movement in the country now for financial reform.—(Great cheering.) There could be no financial reform but by diminishing the armaments, and taking other precautions against war. What was the amount of their gross expenditure for all purposes, besides the purposes of war, and war preparations ? Last year the expenditure of the country was 54,000,0001. Out of that more than 47,000,0001. were expended upon the interest of the debt for past wars, and for the expenses of the standing army. 7,000,0001. out of the 54,000,0001. was sufficient to pay the whole expenses of the civil government, the civil list, the Queen's establishment, the administration of justice, of the poor-law offices, the Home and Foreign Secretaries' offices—in fact, this sum was ,sufficient to defray the expenditure for conducting the whole machinery of the Government. He would show them, then, who were the real prac tical financial reformers. He proposed to adopt the same principle between nations as was adopted be tween private individuala—namely, arbitration.— (Cheers.) They were told that this principle might be very good in theory, but it was impracticable. Now he wanted them to make the experiment, for he had not sufficient confidence in their judgments to take their word for anything:-(Laughter.) In the next session he intended to propose that they should see whether they could not induce foreign Govern ments to join with them in diminishing the amount of their standing forces.--(Hear.) He had put this point privately before statesmen of both countries, and he had never heard them say anything else but that that was the very thing that would suit them. When, however, he proposed that one of them should begin by making a rational proposal to the other, they seemed to be perfectly at a loss to know how they were to set about the matter. Now, until they had made the trial, he for one would not believe that the thing was impracticable. The fleets and the navy of this country had been kept up solely in reference to the navy of France. Now, if the Governments of both countri es con ti nue d m uc h l onger to pursue this same system, financial ruin would meet them— they would get themselves into the Gazette, and then they would not deserve their certificates from the hands of their country. They were now told that these armaments were not kept up for fear of wars between nations, but the wars of rebellion were the great evil of the day. If this be the reason as signed for keeping up so large a force, then he would say that this system had been tried long enough to prove that it does not answer.—(Cheers.) When he bad b een i nv i te d two years ago to attend the Brussels conferen ce , h e men ti one d t h a t t h ere were 2,000,000 of men in th e p ay o f th e diff erent G overnments of Europ e . Th ey found that in the midst of these 2,000,000 of men there was scarcely one throne in Europe that was not tottering to its base. Where three soldiers were then employed there were four now placed under pay. In order to account for such proceedings he was induced to think that the Govern- tnents were anxious to reduce their respective coun tries to such a state of inextricable confusion that no other men could undertake their offices. In the same way as school boys act when they do not want to part with their apples—they rub them in the dirt, and thus prevent other boys from asking for them. — (Laughter.) lie had often been surprised that they did not advertise for somebody with a little common sense to conduct their affairs. If, however, the people are satisfied to pay for the support of an idle soldiery for the purpose of oppressing them, why let them do so ; he should not interfere to prevent them.—(gear, hear.) He would do everything that he could to prevent persons lending money for the purpose of keeping up such armaments. He would not go so far as to say that their demonstration here had prevented Austria getting one shilling of the money ; but the fact was this—that she had never been able to get any money since. —(Cheers.) He thought, i however, that they' took a proper estimate of the right of that Government to ask for such a loan. There was another great Northern power in the market for a loan of money. He only read it in the papers of yesterday. It appears that Russia had published an ukase inviting credit for 3,000,000/. or 4,000,000/. It was proposed that there should be an issue of Treasury Rinds. He found it stated that the loan was intended to cover the expenses incurred in the war in Hungary. What now became of the boasted riches of the Russian Government ?—(Hear, hear.) Were they not told that Russia had taken 2,000,0001. of the Austrian loan—that she had lent 500,000/. to the Pope, and 200,0001. to the Grand Duke of Tuscany ? Now, he declared that he would not give 25/. for what was selling at 1081. by the bulls and bears. From the bottom of his heart he thought that Heaven had ordained in his Divine Providence that when there wks a warlike spirit and huge standing armaments, there should be also bankrupt exchequers, and a poor, miserable, and degraded people. If God had not willed it even in this world that the consequence of such wicked courses s h ou ld b e severe l y fe l t b y mankind, he would doubt very much he should ever see these evils remedied. At the next congress they would have a resolution prop ose d con d emnatory o f a ll Interference in the national affairs of other countries. Where one independent nation was invaded by another and a stronger power, on the hypocritical pretence of conferring a benefit upon it, every principle of justice and right was violated. There had been a doctrine promulgated here lately in reference to Hungary, which had afflicted him very much. It had gone forth by the leading organs of this country, by the mouth .of the Foreign Secretary himself, that the Government of Austria bad the right, by the law of nations, to call, upon a neighbouring power to put down their own people. This was not a question of the law of nations, but a question of the responsibility of the governors to the governed. If the Emperor of Austria could call upon the Cossacks to cut down the liberties of his own subjects, why there would be an end of all responsibility, and an end of all motive by which the people should have the slightest chance of getting good government.—(Loud cheering.) He regretted to hear such a doctrine broached here, when he recollected that for about two centuries this country had successfully maintained that the people were the sovereign source of all power.--(Cheers.) He was sorry to find a portion of the daily press of this country hunting on the Cossacks and the Rus sians in the most unjust, unwarrantable, and wicked invasions of a much more civilized, fair, and interesting people.—(Loud cries of " The Times," followed by much hissing.) He implored of those representatives of foreign countries who were present to believe that these journals do not represent the opinions of the people of this country, nor the heart of the people of this country. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by recommending the utmost perseverance in the course they were now pursuing in support of these prin ciples, as they would no doubt ultimately obtain as glorious a victory here as they had already achieved upon other questions of equal importance to the people. The Hon. Gentleman having moved the resolution, resumed his seat amid the most enthu• siastic cheering. Mr. JOSEPH STURGE briefly seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The meeting was then addressed by M. FREDERIC BAsTIAT, M. HORACE Ser, and other foreigners. The usual vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the meeting separated. SCOTCH RAILWAYS. • There is no species of property in which so many persons, in ways more or less direct, are so largely and at present so painfully interested, as railways. Its amount is enormous, its present value immensely depreciated, and its future strangely uncertain. Nearly two hundred and a quarter millions sterling—little short of one-third of the amount of that national debt which arose out of many years of war and profusion—have already been expended on the railways of Great Britain, and the future expenditure of another one hundred and fifty millions has been autho rised by Parliament. Already the annual revenue of these companies reaches twelve millions—a sum which, insufficidit though it be to give profit to the investors, greatly exceeds the national revenue of any European states but four, and is much exceeded only by the rerrnues of France and England. Even the rulers of the colossal empires of Russia and Austria, with all the means and appliances of despotism, are able to extort but little more from their subjects than a few English commercial com panies raise by speculations in one species of inland travelling. When it is remembered that it is but twenty years since the opening of the first,passenger line, that more than two-thirds of the total expendi ture have been raised within the last five years, and that in a few years the capital will be largely and the revenue immensely increased, it is impossible, in spite of the folly and fraud that have stained the history of :these undertakings, to repress a thrill of pride in contemplating the audacious enterprise and gigantic energy which conceived and accomplished them. In Scotland alone the amount expended, or in course of expenditure (not reckoning the lines whose construction is not actually commenced) is, as nearly as we have the means of ascertaining, about thirty millions. Laying Ireland aside, and deducting the Irish lines from the total for the United Kingdom, the amount expended in Scotland is considerably greater than in England, in proportion to the population and property of the two countries. There is no prese n t means of knowing what proportion of Scotch stock is held by Englishmen, and how far that is counter balanced by the amount of English stock held by Scotchmen. It can only be said, judging from the pressure that affects all classes among us, that we have been quite as incautious as our English neighbours in burdening ourselves beyond our own strength. It is more than doubtful if, either in the internal disputes or the exterior rivalries of railway companies, the press has interfered al ways with good purpose or often with good effect. Most of those interferences have been made on instigation, and carried on for partisan ends. Others of them have been made with very imperfect knowledge of the details on which the the writers founded their deductions—an imperfection not in itself discreditable where anything like exact knowledge is so difficult to be procured, but which should have caused the writers to speak less con fidently or not to speak at all in cases where so much of the value of enormous masses of property could be affected by a breath. We have before us a large collection of pamphlets and articles issued at various periods, but most of them within the last few months, some showing the advantages of one line over another, and others giving what was intended to be an impartial account of all the lines for the guidance of investers ; and, judging of the trustworthiness of the whole from the portions which local position enables us to test, the result is not such as to encourage to similar attempts. Our present object, however, is much less extensive, the means of information considerably increased, and the risk of doing mischief by mistake greatly reduced. What we propose is simply to state, to the best of our means, the position of the principal Scotch lines, and make an estimate of their prospects deduced mainly from the history of the older of their number—for which purposes the recent half-yearly meetings and reports of committees of inquiry furnish large facili ties, while the depressed condition of the stocks in the market seems to defy any sifting or plain statement to make matters worse. The traffic per mile, per week or per annum, is of course the main point to be looked at ; but there are several other things to be taken into account, variously but largely affecting that test—such as the cost of construction, the cost of working, the stage of development, and the amount of engagements in the shape of guarantees, prefer able shares, &c. All these we shall lay aside in a first rough statement, except the first. We shall state the cost per mile of each line ; the revenue per week required to pay five per cent. on that cost ; and the actual revenue per week, as exhibited by the returns of the last six months. In these calculations, we shall assume the working expenses at fifty per cent. on a traffic that would pay ten per cent. on the cost of construction—in other words, we assume that to pay five per cent. a line must draw ten. This estimate is high enough, we admit, hut not too high, consider ing the heavy average cost of the Scotch lines, and that most of them are so short and broken as to ren der their working more than ordinarily expensive. There are not, so far as we can find, means of at taining fractional accuracy ; but we think we have reached a pretty close approximation. Edinburgh and Glasgow.—The cost of construction is 46,000/. per mile—t o p a y 5 p er cen t. on which, after deduction of half-traffic for work' tv expenses, requires a revenue per mile of 4,6001. pdt annur9, or 88il. per week. The last half•year'a returns give a revenue per mile, on the 58 miles of rail in operation, at the rate of 3,378/. per annum, or 571. per week. North British—Cost of construction about 33,6001. per mile—to pay 5 per cent. on which, after deducting half of traffic for working expenses, would require an income per mile of about 3,3601. per annum, or 641, 3.sths per week. The returns for last half-year The other lines in operation being comparatively small in extent, and access to their accounts, &c., being difficult, we lea v e th em untouched, only re marking that the position of none of them differs materially from that of the lines whose statistics are given above, and that generally they stand on a lower rather than a higher level. These results, it will not be difficult to see, are, at the first glance at least, very discouraging. On an average, the Scotch lines would, unless our data are very erroneous, require double the present traffic to pay five per cent. on their capital. It is remarkable how nearly this average holds in the ,case of each separate line, with one exception. The proportions in which the traffic of each line would require to increase in order to reach the paying point are these : —Edinburgh and Qlasgow would require to increase, as from .57 to 881 ; North British, from 25 to 64 3-sths; Caledonian, from 33 to 661; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, from 271 to 55 ; Central, from 25 to 58 ; Ayrshire, from 27 to 51. This, however, is but a rough sketch—other ele ments must be taken into account, materially modi• fying the above results, both positively and compaa tively. 'We shall do little more than mention the principal of these, not intending these remarks as a guide to investers, and not having the means of at taining accuracy on many important details. Ist, The Amount of Guaranteed or Preferential Capital—This element, it will easily be seen, greatly affects the results as shown only in the traffic returns. A company with a comparatively large return per mile may, as regards its ordinary shareholders, be in a worse position than one with a smaller return, if the former has guarantees and preferences to pay, and the latter little or none. 'Without attempting a precise statement, we are safe in saying that the line most heavily burdened in this respect is the Caledonian, which has to pay several guaran tees of 6,7, 8, and on one quarter of a million of capital 10f per cent., before paying anything to its ordinary shareholders. The next heaviest sufferer is the Edinburgh and Glasgow, whose troubles in this respect are only about to begin. The least burdened is probably the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, which guarantees no separate line, but has 600,0001. of preference stock at 5i and 5 per cent. not yet issued. 2d, The Working Expenses—These vary much on different lines, according to length, number of branches, &c. Probably, the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee will be among the dearest to work, and the North British and Caledonian the cheapest. It must also be considered that the general average we have taken—fitly per cent. on a gross traffic which would produce ten per cent. on the capital—is high; and that most of the companies could take great additions to their present traffic without material additions to the present working expenses. 31, The stage of development—This item is of peculiar importance in the case of railways like the Scotch, almost all of which are in a raw and un finished state. Lines whose resources are fully de- , veloped, or are likely in future to be lessened by the competition of neighbours, stand in a very different position from those whose construction is uncom pleted, and which have not yet had time to develope their traffic. It would, for instance, be fallacious to compare the present traffic of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, even after allowing for the greater cost of construction, with the traffic of such lines as the North British or Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, large portions of which have only been a few months in operation, and which have not reached all their termini, nor got their arrangements in smooth and effective working order. The very important question that now arises, as to whether there is a probability of the traffic of the new lines coming, within any resonable period, to the pay ing point, admits of a more hopeful answer than a mere glance at the above figures would seem to war rant. The development of the traffic of railways is a somewhat slow, but, according to all past experience, a very sure process. The following table, which we have compiled, showing the rise and progress of the Edinburgh and Glasgow line, may carry consolation to the shareholders even in those lines whose traffic is as yet but half-way to five per cent. The Glasgow line was opened for the whole length from the Haymarket to Glasgow on the 21st of February, 1842, and the traffic developed as here shown : Total for Weekly Rata per Per Six Ave- Mile per Mile Mouths. rage.

But it must be taken into calculation, Ist, that its cost of construction is also double some and a third more than any Scotch line, so that one-half or a third less traffic per mile on others represents an equivalent amount of prosperity; and 2d, that with the exception of the mile and a half from the Haymarket to the North bridge, it opened complete, while almost none of the new lines have yet attained to a corresponding position. It must also be taken into consideration, in estimat ing the probable progress of development of the new lines, that they have hitherto seen nothing but " bad times." Cholera has been against them, and still more "calls." Both evils are now nearly at an end, though the effects of the latter will linger for a while. The money sunk in railways has been in great part taken from that fund out of which travelling expenses are mainly taken—viz., spare funds or accumulations. The money so sunk has not yet bec ome reproductive, there being in this respect a sort of dead-lock—a large portion of the funds from which railway revenues come being the very funds locked up in the capital. itself All this, however, will gradually work right— but it would be more than difficult to say how soon, how fast, or how far.—Scotsman. NE-OPENING OF THE ASTOR THEATRE, NEW yogi.—This, the most fashionable theatre of New York, which had remained closed since Macready made his last appearance there, on which occasion a dreadful riot occurred, and several lives were last, was re-opened about the middle of September. The play was Romeo and Juliet, Miss Davenport, who had arrived from England only a few days be fore, appearing as Juliet, and achieving a tri umph which has completely restored to the Astor Theatre its popularity. She sub,equently appeared as Julia in the Hunchback, as Meets, in the Maid of Mariendorpt, and as Mariana in the IVife, and drew crowded houses on every occasion of her appearance. The New York journals speak in the most entbuo.aisic terms of her performances. Miss Davenport has , accepted engagements to appear at 1308tP11, 1 3 1:1114delphia, and Baltimore. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, OCT. 30.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert, with their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal, left Windsor Castle this morning, for town, at 10 minutes before 10 o'clock, travelling by a special train on the Great Western Railway. Colonel the Hon. C. B, Phipps, General Wemyss, and Colonel Seymour were in attendance on Prince Albert. The Prince of Wales and Princess Royal were attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttrlton and Mr. Birch.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. member of that body to whose fortunes and misfortunes you lever vouchsafe a lively interest feels confident that a few particulars of mismanage ment upon this railway, observed in one day, will not be without its recommendations to you. On Saturday, the 20th inst., I left Wakefield for Pontefract Corn Market, by the quarter past nine o'clock train (this is not, I suppose, the " Great Nor thern," but, 1 believe, under the same management). We had not proceeded above two or three miles before our engine was utterly exhausted, and but for the fortuitous arrival of a luggage, or coal train, engine at the minor station we had reached, the business of Pontefract would have been long over, ere myself and others could have participated. The circumstance, however, was only a novelty to strangers, none to in dividuals attending the market. At Doncaster you have to re- book, at the risk, amidst the confusion, of losing your seat and your luggage. At 13awtry, arrived in the dusk, not a lamp lit or signal out till the last moment, sheep trucks upon the main line, and some shrewd doubts by the inefficient officials whether there " might not " be some stray sheep down the line ! At Retford, luggage turned out that had been put in for Gainsbro', and the blunder discovered by the merest accident. At Gainsbro,' a staff of the most impertinent officials i❑ the kingdom, and a practice such only as so dangerous a monopoly, unwatched, as railway could attempt, namely, charging half price for twice the distance travelled ; thus, to Hull, 4s. 7kd , second class, but to Hull and back, 2s. 6d. only ; this for the shameless and nefarious (so stated on the spot) purpose of annihilating the honest calling of the packet boat between the points referred to. This arrangement, so beneath an honest association of men, is unknown but locally, so that a stranger, for want of information, sees, without comprehending it, one man paying half the money of another for travelling twice the distance ! What I would especially insist upon in such a case is, that if a company can afford, for an unworthy purpose, to halve their fire for double the distance be low the stipulated price, that a law should step in to prevent such a perversion of common sense and com mon honesty, by compelling the company to charge their own reduction upon both the double and single ticket. Your keen sense of justice, and protection to the public, will, I am sure, appreciate these remarks or, Sir, your most obedient servant, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Newcastle on-Tyne, Oct. 29.

And, after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate will leave a trifling profit on receiving gold from the United States. DEATH OF THE EARL OF ALDBOROITGEL—We have to announce the demise of the Earl of Aldborougb, intelligence of whose decease at Leghorn has been re ceived by his friends in this country. The Earl, who had been resident for a long series of years in Italy, died on Monday fortnight. The deceased, Mason Ger rar d Stratford, Earl of Aldborough, Viscount Aldborough of Belau, Viscount Amiens, and Baron Bultinglass, in the Peerage of Ireland, was only son of Benjamin O'Nealo, four Earl, by Martha, only child of Mr. John Burton, and niece and heiress of Mr. Mason Gerrard. He was born Bth July, 1784, and married 24 August, 1804, Cornelia Jane, eldest daughter of Mr. Charles Henri/ Tandy, by whom, who survives his Lordship, he leaves issue, an only son, Viscount Amiens. On Wednesday last Batty's troup of equestrians entered this town, and gave a morning and evening entertainment, the latter of which was well attended, and the feats of horsemanship and gymnastics were highly applauded.—Chtlmsjord Chronicle. =-.,.-
