dike bill, which was seconded by T. R. Guppy, Esq., and carried amid loud cheers. J. E. BAILLIE, Esq., M.P., returned thanks. C. B. FRIPP, Esq., moved the thanks of the meeting to Messrs. Hyett and Phillpotts and to the other members of the committee for the services rendered by them to the company, which was seconded by A. Acraman, Esq. W. H. HYETT, Esq., M.P., for Stroud, and J. PHlL rurrs, M.P., for Gloucester, returned thanks. Dr. CARPENTER then moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried by acclamation. The MAYOR, in returning thanks, expressed his readiness at all times to render his assistance on any similar occasion ; and the meeting then broke up with three cheers for the Great Western Railway. WILTS. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. A public meeting was held yesterday (Friday) at the New Town Hall, Chippenham, at which a deputation from the Company attended, for the purpose of laying before the inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood an explanation of the intended line of railroad between London and Bris tol, and the advantages likely to result therefrom. The chair was taken at three o'clock by Joseph Neeld, Esq., M.P. for the borough. At this period we should presume that, upon a moderate calculation, at least five hundred persons, the majority of whom were respectable yeomen, and the remainder the resident gentry of the town and neighbourhood, were present. The CHAIRMAN briefly introduced the business of the day, by observing that the meeting was called for the pur pose stated above, and by requesting a patient hearing for those gentlemen who had attended for the purpose of lay ing before them the objects and prospective advantages of a railway communication between Bristol and London. Mr. BRUNEL then came forward, and detailed to the meeting the course which the projected line of railway from London to Bristol would pursue. Mr. Brunel next dwelt at some length upon the advantages that would result to the agricultural as well as to the commercial portion of the population from the completion of the railway. In reply to some of the objections that had been urged against railways, he stated that it was the anxious wish of the promoters of the Great Western scheme to carry it into effect with as little annoyance to the land-owners on the line as possible. Wherever it was practicable, they would vary their line to accommodate parties who might consider that their interests were affected by it. Wherever any two magistrates of a county should think that the railroad would tend in any way to the injury of the turnpike road, they had authority to order either that a bridge should be thrown over or a tunnel under such road ; and in order to avoid any incon venience that may arise from floods in the valley of the Avon, the bridges must be so constructed as to offer no impediments to the overflow of water in a rainy season. Mr. Brunel concluded his address by observing that the proposed line of railroad offered great and important ad vantages to all parties, whether manufacturing or agricultu ral. A saving of time was a saving of money, and the speed and facility with which journeys from one part of the line to the other could be effected would be highly advantageous. Mr. SAUNDERS, the London Secretary; next addressed the meeting. He commenced by expressing a hope that it might not be his misfortune to weary his audience after the labours and fatigue usually consequent upon a market-day. After what had been said, it only remained for him to state the probable effect that would be produced by the railway. The nature of a railway had been explained to them by Mr. Brunel, and the importance of it, considered nationally, he believed few could take a view of it but must conceive some important benefit to arise from its operation. This measure originated not with a speculating party, but with the influ ential bodies of a large commercial town. He could say, emphatically, that this was not a job ; on the contrary, it was projected expressly with the object of improving the trade of Bristol, and the West of England. All knew that in the north, where railways had been adopted, trade had improved ; and would the inhabitants of the West suffer their trade to decline, whilst that of their Northern friends was progressing?—(Hear.) In all parts of the North, where railroads had been adopted, others are projecting ; their advantageous effects had been seen, and railways were increasing every year. The first object had been to con nect London and the West, and to pass as close as possible to large and populous towns, to afford that facility for the transit of goods, with an increase of speed and at a less expense, which might keep up a preponderance with the trade of the North.—(Hear.) He spoke with pleasure of the support they had experienced from the inhabitants of Bath, though he spoke not of Bath as a commercial city ; but the increase of favour to the measure there had been considerable. He would communicate to them the result of a meeting in Bristol—a meeting perhaps more respect able_ than any_ of which Bristol could ever boast ; and they re le upon DrISIDI a. inc to the undertaking. From the evidence given before the House of Commons, it had been found that wherever rail ways had been established, agricultural as well as manufac turing produce had increased in value. After detailing the advantages that had been obtained in other towns, from their connection with railroads, and the prospects of success which the Great Western Railway presented, Mr. Saunders proceeded to dilate upon the benefits which must accrue to the town of Chippenham from its establishment. He had, he said, been hitherto been speaking of general advantages ; he would now advert to local advantages ; and that these had not been neglected, the support afforded to the measure in the last session by the members for the borough would testify. It might be said that these Hon. Gentlemen were mistaken in their views—that they had not the interests of their constituents at heart ; but, in proof that one at least, the Hon. Gentleman who bad condescended to preside at their meeting—(cheers)—had not so acted, he could confi dently appeal to the estimation in which he was held by his constituents. If any proof were wanting that be was anxious to promote the interests of the town, he need only point to the building in which they were then assembled, and exclaim— " Si monumentum vis circumspice." A monument indeed both of munificence and taste.' This, gentlemen, may be considered as the pledge of a per manent alliance, and one which will outlive the remembrance of mere professions.—( Cheers.) But, let me not be con sidered as speaking disparagingly of the other member ; on the contrary I know that he would have been glad to have been among you to day, to have exprossed his unqualified approbation, and to have promised his future support ; nothing but necessity prevents his attendance here. We have also had invariably the support of the Hon. Members for Calne, than which nothing could be more gratifying to myself especially at a time when parties were divided, nor have we had to harass them or ask them for their support. But to return to the subject, and lam sure you will pardon me for this digression, promoted only by a desire to express that gratitude which the directors have felt. To a town situated as Chippenbam was, the advan tage would be great ; it would, become the centre from which branches would converge to the southern towns of the county—Bradford, Trowbridge, and Melksham. To any town in connexion with the line, where it could be shewn that a railroad was desirable, a branch would be constructed, and that too without any regard to profit, but in order th, the line of road might be rendered serviceable to all parties. After some further remarks, Mr. S. said it would not be expected that, on the present occasion, he should go into a detail of figures, or dilate at great length on national ad vantage. He hoped at some future period to give minute information on that subject, after which he thought few would object to support the undertaking. In alluding to the traffic upon the present road, be would observe that the number of passengers (the great source of profit on this description of road), was considerably greater than on any other road in the kingdom, which would thereby enable them to carry goods for less than had hitherto been contem plated. The capital had been proved to be fully adequate to the purpose. He had examined the contracts of the Birmingham railway, on which calculation the estimates of the Great Western line had been formed, and he had found that in an expenditure of two millions, the estimates had not been exceeded by more than 20001. He was desirous of saying that for all property they were obliged to take, the utmost compensation would be allowed ; but they would do all they could to conciliate the landowners and others, even by deviating from the line of road - where it was possi ble, if they could but obtain their favour and support. He could not omit to mention, among other advantages, that of providing employment for a number of labourers out of the different parishes, not only in making the road, but also af terwards in attending upon it. The railroad would be as sessed to the poor rates, and that too largely, in the diffe rent parishes through which it might pass, thereby mate rially assisting in the maintenance of the poor. The total expense of its execution is estimated at 2,500,000/. and the gross revenue 700,0001. to be divided amongst the share holders. In conclusion he begged to thank the meeting for the patient hearing they had given him, and solicited their support to this great national undertaking, for the ultimate success of which there was nothing to fear. Mr. Paovis, in moving the first resolution, said that after the able expose which had been given of the undertaking by the gentlemen who had preceded him, it was unnecessary for him to occupy much of their time with any remark of his. Every gentleman must feel that it would be attended with incalculable benefit to the country at large, not except:. ing the borough of Chippenham, to which he considered the advantages would be peculiarly great. It was well known there was abundance of labour and capital in the country —by the railway both would be employed. He had cal culated the undertaking would emply 10,000 meia for-five years ; and it must certainly be better to lay out capital in a railway than in foreign funds, where it was likely that it might be entirely lost. He concluded by moving the first resolution. Several other gentlemen, in Moving and seconding the various resolutions, addressed the Meeting ; but want of space prevents us from detailing their observations. Suf fice it to say that at this meeting, as well as that held at Bristol, the explanations given by the deputation relative to the practicability and importance of the undertaking were considered to be highly satisfactory ; and, from the manner in which the subject was received by the meeting, we have not the slightest doubt that the measure will re ceive the fullest support from the inhabitants of Chippen ham and its vicinity. A vote of thanks to Mr. Neeld, for his judicious conduct in the chair, was acknowledged, by that gentleman in suitable terms ; and after hearty cheers had been given for the Chairman, and for the success of the Great Western Railway, the meeting broke up.—Bath Guardian. BODMIN AND WADEBRIDGE RAILWAY, in our last week's paper we furnished our readers with an account of the opening of this railway, and of the din ner in celebration thereof, both of which took place on the 30th September ult., and agreeably to the promise we then made, we now proceed to give some of the particulars rela tive to the execution of this undertaking : PARTICULARS OF THE FORMATION OF THE COMPANY. —The person who first moved in this matter was John Hooper, Esq., of Penhargate, near Bodmin. He first ap plied to Mr. Thomas Woollcombe, the solicitor, and Messrs. Hopkins and Sons, the engineers, on the subject, and is therefore entitled to the thanks of the public. The first report was, however, made at the expense of Sir William Molesworth, Bart., M.P , who felt an earnest desire, as far as in him lay, to relieve the burdens under which the agri culturists on the banks of the Camel river laboured. The object of the formation of the railway was for the purpose of supplying, at a cheaper rate, the interior of the county of Cornwall with sea sand, which is the sole article of ma nure in the district through which the railway passes. In 'lB3l the present company was formed for this purpose. In that year Sir William Molesworth, at his own expense employed Messrs. Hopkins and Sons, of Plymouth, civil engineers, to report on the best line for a railway, and to estimate the cost of execution, and prepare a statement of the probable returns. These were accordingly prepared, and on the 25th October, 1831, were laid before a public meeting, Sir William Molesworth being in the chair. Resolutions were then passed to carry the objects of the meeting into effect. Pursuant thereto, a prospectus was prepare and circulated, subscriptions solicited, and the ne cessary course taken to obtain an Act to incorporate the Company. The Act was obtained in the 2d William the Fourth. The estimate of the expense of the whole line of railway, exclusive of surveys, Act of Parliament, wharfs, and the engine, waggons, &c., was 21,882/. 9s. 4d., but the amount of capital proposed then to be raised according to the provisions of the Act was 22,500/., in shares of 25/. each. Power to raise a further sum of 8,000/., for the purpose of constructing the wharfs, dock, and such other work as might appear expedient, and to purchase the ne cessary engines, waggons, &c., was included in the Act. The estimate of the amount of the returns was stated in the report, calculating only on the then consumption of sand and .other articles at 4,165/. Os. 1 d., and the expenses at 1,121/. 18s. 4d., leaving a net expected income of 3,0431. Is. 9d. being nearly 10 per cent. on the whole of the intended capital of 30,500/. PARTICULARS OF THE FORMATION OF THE RAILWAY. —As we have before stated, the whole of the line of rail way was estimated by the engineers, Messrs. Hopkins and Sons, in 1832, to cost 21,882/. 9s. 4d. ; on the 16th March, 1834, the works were let by tender, in various lots, to dif ferent persons. The main line from Wadebridge to Win ford-bridge is 12 miles in length, and the Bodmin Branch nearly lf miles. During the progress of the works it ap peared advisable to make an additional branch railway to Ruthern-bridge, a distance of upwards of one mile. This was accordingly done. The main line of railway is formed nearly in the direction of the Camel River, and some parts through very difficult places—some of the cuttings are 23 feet deep, and some of the embankments are 27 feet high. THE BRIDGES.—There are eight at different parts of the line besides several culverts of various sizes. The prin cipal bridge is erected at the junction of the Bodmin Branch with the main line, near Dunmeer, and consists of one stupendous arch of 33 feet span. The height from the bed of the river to the top of the parapet is about 40 feet. We have never seen a bridge of stone built in such an oblique angle across a river as this. We understand it was so built for the purpose of preserving the direction of the line of rail way without any awkward curve. Seven of the bridges are erected across the Camel River, and one across the Lank River, near Key Bridge. THE RAILWAY.—The railway is made of wrought iron rails of 15 to 18 feet in length, and each rail weighing 401bs. per yard. The chairs or pedestals are of cast iron, averaging 1 lilbs. each, and are laid on stone blocks, weigh _ing_•_3A cwt. each. There are seven wharfs on which stages are erected, anu urantl, ir.ado for the_,Durpose of discharging sand through the stag-ea 1. , 7 trap doors in the waggons, which empty instantly. At Wadebridge a dock is now constructing for the purpose of discharging vessels laden with goods. The dock and quay connected with it will admit of five vessels discharging at the same time. Another dock for the reception of sand barges has been erected at the sole expense of Sir William Molesworth. The whole of the works connected with this undertaking are expected to be completed by about Christmas next, until when the engineers' services will be still required. They are, however, now so far completed that the traffic may and will be carried on from this time on the railway. THE STEAM-ENGINE.—The engine was constructed by the Neath Abbey Iron Company, according to a plan laid down by the engineers : it is called " The Camel," and cost upwards of 7001. It is mounted on six wheels, three feet nine inches diameter : its weight is 11 tons. The cylinders are 10i inches diameter, and the length of stroke two feet. The working pressure of the steam is 501bs, on the square inch. The weight intended to be drawn by the engine up wards on every part is 50 tuns each trip, exclusive of the carriages and tender. The rate of travelling decided on is 6 miles an hour ascending, and 8 descending. The engine has travelled at the rate of 25 miles an hour. PROPOSED RAILWAYS `-We understand it is proposed to continue the railway on by Camelford to Launceston, and thence to Caistock, a town on the Tamar, which is washed by the sea flowing through Plymouth Sound and Hamoaze, thus effecting a complete railroad communica tion from the northern to the southern shores of the county : there are likewise plans laid down for bringing these lines of road in conjunction with the Bideford and Oakhampton, and thereby with the Exeter and Crediton railroad, and from the success of the able engineers, Messrs. Hopkins and Sons, patronized as they are by the noblemen and gentlemen, proprietors of the soil through which the line extends, there is no doubt but that, in a comparatively short period, the whole of these lines and their collateral branches will be perfected. It is with pleasure we are enabled to inform our readers, that in the instance of the undertaking, which is the subject of this account, the whole of the works have been executed as originally proposed for the same sum as the engineers, Messrs. Hopkins and Sons, estimated them to cost, previous to the formation of the I company.—Devonport Telegraph. The St. Petersburgh journals give the following description of the Emperor Alexander's monument :—" It consists of a granite Doric column, rising from a pedestal placed on a base formed of several steps. The capital is of bronze, surmounted by a demi-sphere on which is an angel raising the right hand towards heaven, while with the left hand armed with the cross it is crushing a serpent. The four sides of the pedestal are bordered with trophies, enclosing alle gorical figures representing the Niemen, the Vistula, Glory, Peace, Justice, Clemency, Wisdom, and Abundance; between these subjects on three sides of the pedestal are inscribed the years 1812, 1813, and 1814, and on the fourth, which faces the Winter Palace, is an inscription to this effect i- 4 Dedicated to Alexander 1. , by the gratitude of Russia.' The pedestal is truly colossal. It stands even higher than the immense rock which serves as a pedestal to the statue of Peter the Great." VIENNA, SEPT. 30.—Since the dreadful fire at Wiemer Neustadt the bodies of forty-three persons, who were either burned or suffocated, have been taken from the cellars and the vaults of the warehouses. The archives and the poor's fund are saved. Collections have been made here to the amount of several hundred thousand florins and whole cargoes of clothes, linen, &c., are daily sent thither by the canal. Balls, concerts, and theatrical representations are given for the 10,000 sufferers. The Emperor has given orders to the Cadets to quit their school (the Imperial Palace) at Weimer Neustadt, and to pass the winter at Luxemburgh, where his Majesty's summer residence will be given up to them. As many as pos sible of the sufferers who have been wholly burned out are to be lodged in the Palace at Neustadt. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.— Sunday evening, at haf-past eight o'clock, as the Emerald steam-boat, from Graves end, was passing the tier of vessels moored immediately off the Tower, she came in violent collision with the- outermost one, a north-country brig, and although the steamer was not proceeding at very quick speed, the concussion was sufficient to carry away her chimney, and seriously injured her paddle boxes. It being a clear fine night, no anxiety had previously been felt by any of the passengers, consequently when the Emerald struck an universal panic seized the majority of the company on board, which must have amounted to at least six hundred persons, some jumping into the small boats which were sculling alongside, and others making the best of their way into the vessel with which the steamer was in contact. The crashing of the vessel, mingled with the screams of the female passengers, and the vociferation of the crews was most terrific, and the adjoining shores were soon crowded with people in a fearful state of anxiety as to the extent of the ac cident, and reports of serious disaster spread themselves abroad ; but we are happy to say, upon the arrival of the steamer at Fresh Wharf, it was found that the damage to the vessel above mentioned was the extent of the mischief, and that the whole of the passengers and crew had escaped all in jury, except such as may arise from the extreme of fright under which very many of - the females were suffering.

' -Ko Zhe lIONDON, TCESDAY EVE KING, OCTOBER 14, 1834. In the effecting or. .:Iny change, much danger is to be apprehended from two parties, even of those who are the first to carry it -into operation. There are, first, the inconsiderate sulvorters of the new system, who are in such raptures with their darling project, that they look upon every obstacle which opposes its in stant application as a. nuisance which ought to be re moved forthwith ; ant 1 second, the secret opponents of the proposed change, who hurry it on with the inten tion of exposing whz:t they call the evil consequences of its adoption, which consequences, they themselves are well aware, must be the result of premature appli cation ; and which, -under proper regulations, could never happen. The New Poor Law Amendment Bill has already suffered :much from these parties. A few individuals of fickle, vestless, and impatient dispositions, ambitious oLbeing thve most conspicuous characters in their own digtiicts, me ver taking - the -- trouble to think themselves, and hearlqg from some mercurial orator or consequential neighbour, that the proposed change in the administration of parochial relief would work wonders however applied, set .about instantly to establish a new order of things, before a moment . lwas given to the consideration of the rz•eans of effecting such a change at the least possible hazard of individual suffering. It mattered not how excellent the new system was—and we are prepared to prose it one of the most excellent that ever was devised far such a purpose in a country so situated as England- —the consequences of a preci pitation so at variance with old customs, confirmed habits, rooted prejudices, early recollections, and a mode of life in some sort regulated by the feelings originating in all these, could not be otherwise than alarming to a very large portion of the working people. They ought to have been made acquainted with, and as far as was possible, prepared for the operation, of the new law. The most wholesome change that ever was effected in the condition of man must, of necessity, have inflicted at first, individual suffering ; and on such occasions the greatest wisdom is manifested in adopting the most efficacious means of diminishing the amount of evil inseparable from the still greater amount of good. It is to be regretted that those persons who were among the first to assist the Poor Law Commissioners, in reforming the monstrous abuses of the old pauper system, have not shown greater prudence, and a more tender solici tude for the interests of certain deserving objects of parochial bounty than has been hitherto evinced by them. Instead of doing good, they have unintentionally done much mischief, by forcing the new law into ope ration in parishes where sufficient pains were not taken to prepare the inhabitants to receive it ; and what was still worse, where those abuses least existed which it was intended to eradicate. The second party who have contrived to raise a cla mour against the new Poor Law, are personS who are secretly opposed to it, but who think—and think cor rectly—that the best way of rendering it odious to the bulk of the people, is by forcing it on them while their minds are in a state of agitation—while the clamours of a defeated faction are ringing in their ears—and while their affairs are in such a confusion as not to admit of its advantageous working. At the head of these we may place a certain portion of the Magistracy, who have already shown that they are capable of rendering any law so unpopular, that the people cannot fail to cry out against it. W e f e el no inclination to dwell on this point. In no country in the world is the bench less unworthily filled than in England—in no country in the world has the magistracy shown more impartiality—more personal respect for the rigid and spirit of the laws, or greater zeal for its better administration, than it has hitherto done in England : but we regret that since the passing of the Poor Law Amendment Bill, we have more than once perceived symptoms of a falling-off among that body. Whoever will take the trouble to refer to the file of any respectable daily journal, since that bill re ceived the Royal sanction, will not fail to learn that certain magistrates in the metropolis have not scrupled to sympathize with many poor persons, on sufferings occasioned by legislative uncharitableness, and the all but wanton cruelty of an ignorant Government. This looks suspiciously enough, and appears to us hardly warranted by the soreness arising from a sense of abridged power. Magistrates ought to be more guarded in the expression of opinions on laws which they have • spontaneously undertaken to ad minister. If their duties become too painful to them, they are not without a remedy by which they can rid themselves of the annoyance. Besides, the Bench is not a proper place for exhibiting the quixotic chivalry of the 13th century. Every woman who trumps up a tale of fictitious merit, and unde served suffering, is not to be held up as a proof of the unfeeling nature of legislative enactments. While on this point, we may refer to the case of EMMA PASSAU before Mr. CONANT, one of the sitting Ma gistrates of Marylebone, whose conduct elicited some remarks from us on Saturday. This woman so en gaged the Magistrate's sympathies, that he hesitated not to recommend to her the adoption of a trick alto gether unworthy of a public functionary, by which she should entail a burthen on a neighbouring parish— took her case as a text upon which he commented on the Poor Law Amendment Bill, to the great edifica tion of the said EMMA PASSAU; and after having displayed a charitable sympathy with her sufferings, which it might be uncharitable to presume was intended to reflect on the hard-heartedness of the Legislature, it yesterday conies out, that the object of so much ma gisterial benevolence, and the subject of such bench panegyric and commiseration is a woman of infamous character, whose conduct had closed the doors of the very receptacles of vice against her. This was proved to the Magistrate by the accomplices of the woman in her presence, and she herself admitted the state- . went to be correct. Well might Mr. CONANT express displeasure at her duplicity, but at the same time, we kink of the two, he was most to blame. However this we trust will prove a salutary warning to him, and that for the time to come he will take care how he commits himself on such occasions. A desire to obviate the difficulties, and to remove ,he erroneous impressions, which the conduct of the inconsiderate friends, and the covert enemies, of the New Poor Law Amendment Bill, is likely to give rise to, is the only object which has induced the Com- missioners to issue the circular headed " Poor Laws," which we have given in another column, and to which we direct attention. This circular ex plains the present state of the law as it affects the pool, and which is to be observed until such time as the Commissioners shall have prepared a body of rules and regulations capable of general application throughout the kingdom. It is a great error to sup- pose that the Commissioners are so impatient of delay as to force the new law on the inhabitants of any parish where the effects of the old system are found to be of a salutary nature. They are quite prepared to allow the change to be effected gradually, so that as few as possible of those entitled to relief may suffer from it. It is necessary for the peace of the country, as well as for the convenience of individuals, that nothing should be done hastily, or before due consideration has been given to the consequences likely to follow the suggested improvement. Happily the ample powers vested in the Commissioners allow them the benefit of a wise discretion. But may we not put it to them, whether it would not have been better to have used more definite, and at the same time more simple language in the circular now before us ? Is there not something too lawyer-like, as well as the opening of a door to litigation and abuse in the quotation of so many statutes as text books for parish overseers and country Magistrates We confess - zn - 611- 5 -at-least r is--our opinion. We_by no. means approve of instructions which are given in any form in which they may be misunderstood ; and we do think that the Commissioners would have rendered a much greater service to the country, had they conveyed their sentiments to the public in a few plain words, commanding this or that to be clone, in, and under, such and such cases and circumstances. We of course do not mean by this to convey any imputation on the circular before us. All we would be understood to say is, that we would have preferred it did it make fewer references to Acts of Parliament, and embody in itself the sum and substance of all it was intended to perform. In the meantime, we know that the Commissioners are not sleeping at their posts. They are hard at work, to bring a law into full operation which will yet prove one of the greatest boons that ever the British Parlia ment conferred on the British people. The intelligence which has this day reached us from the north of Spain is most unsatisfactory. The pro vince of Navarre is in a dreadful state ; and at pre sent there is little prospect of its tranquillization. General MINA has not yet taken the command of the army— a circumstance which augurs very unfavour ably. O n all sides there is the grossest igno rance displayed on the part of the Government. For example, could there be anything more ruinous than to leave the army without a commander, as it virtually is at present, in the midst of enemies energetic from despair, and furious from the excess of suffering ? Rom', will not fight, nor dare he except at the peril of his head, as he is no longer at the head of the troops ; and MINA is either indisposed, or indifferent to the acceptance of the hazard ous office conferred on him. Thus the army is virtually rendered a burthen to, instead of being the defence of the country. Don CARLOS is still a fugi tive. Lis reported that in a Council of War which he held, he proposed a journey to Russia, for the pur pose of entreating the assistance of the EMPEROR, but that ZUMALACARREGUY, suspecting he me ditated flight to secure his personal safety, refused to permit his departure. The German papers are barren of all 'intelligence, with the exception of accounts of the ravages of cholera in Sweden and Denmark. The whole of the north of Europe is suffering greatly from this pestilence. It is stated in Frankfort papers of the Bth inst., that Prince ESTERHAZY, who has lately been giving grand fetes, will not return as ambassador to London. The annual income of this Prince is estimated at two millions of florins (convention money), and his debts (which are chiefly those of his father) eighteen millions. He has the finest and most productive estates in Hungary. The number of his sheep alone is estimated at three millions, which annually supply from 40 to 50,000 cwt. of wool. Brussels Papers of the 12th inst. contain no news of interest. We beg to call particular attention to the Report of the Speeches delivered at a Public Meeting, convened at Bristol, by the Directors of the Great Western Railway, which will be found in another part of The Sun. We exceedingly regret that our space to-day will not permit us to enter into the merits of the great National Question involved in these speeches ; flI4 :!1 ',`2D 1, 4 NO trust that to-morrow will afford us an opportunity of so doing, of which we will not fail to avail ourselves. The public, and more especially that part of it which takes an interest in all improvements in machinery and locomotion, is no stranger to the zeal with which we have ever advocated all schemes for the abridgment of human toil ; and we - can truly affirm that in no one project of this kind have we felt a more cordial inte rest than in the establishment of railways. As we be fore observed, we shall to-morrow devote an article to the subject. It is stated in the French Papers of Sunday, in a letter from Bayonne, that Don MIGUEL has landed in Spain. We do not believe it, TALLOW. Particulars of Tallow in London, Oct. 13. 1831. 1832. 1833. 18 '4. Casks. Casks. Casks. Casks. Stock this day 41,772 12,199 C 6,41•1 16,70) Delivery last week ......

DEATII OF BOILDEU.—We regret to learn from the Paris Journals of Friday that the above eminent composer ex pired at his scat at Sarcy, on Wednesday last. The deceased had lately returned from a watering-place on the frontiers, and it was hoped by his numerous friends that his recovery would have taken place ; hopes, which, unfortunately for them and the musical world, have not been realized. The Echo du Cantal relates that a meeting with pistols took place on Monday, at Clermont, between one of the principal Editors of the Gazette d'Auvergne and a man of letters of that town, who had been to pay his respects to Madame Adelaide at her seat at Randan, and whom that Journal greatly insulted. Neither of the combatants was wounded, The Journal de Geneve states that in the Canton of Uri the glaciers have been so much perforated and melted by the hot weather of the summer, that their shapes have been completely changed, and considerable apprehension is enter tained of accidents when the rainy season arrives. One of the peaks, the Huffirm, has presented a strange and wonderful spectacle, that of the body of a young hunter, who perished in that place 13 years ago. By the side of the skeleton were found his watch (of silver), his knife, and the iron of his gun• On Saturday morning Lord Auckland, the Right Hon. Henry Ellis, clerk of the Pells, and other public func tionaries, attended at the Exchequer, and, after verifying the amount of public moneys in the public chests, paid the same over to the Bank of England, and thus concluded their efficient functions. Sir John Newport was also present on this occa sion, and took his seat as Comptroller of the New Exchequer. A very near relation of Coleridge the poet is, we understand, engaged in collecting materials for his Life. During the latter period of his existence, Coleridge had an in veterate dislike to epistolatory correspondence. But there are, it is said, many hundreds of his letters on literary subjects, written to his friends in his youthful days, quite as extraordinary, as powerful, and as eloquent, as his conversation. A SHIP BURNED AT SEA.—Captain Richardson, of the Belsey Castle, which arrived in Sligo on Friday last, from Quebec, on his passage across the Atlantic, near this coast, descried a ship at some distance, which appeared to him to be in distress. On approaching this vessel, he found she was burned down to the water's edge, and completely water tied. The weather being moderate he lowered his boat, and sent some men on board, when they found the vessel was loaded with timber ; but no vestige of anything that could lead to any discovery could be traced, save a branding-iron, which contained the words " The Two Brothers," and a napkin, supposed to belong to the Captain, marked " Giffard." At the time he parted with her she was drifting fast towards the west coast of Ireland.—Mayo Constitution. FATAL ACCIDENT.—AII accident of a lamentable nature occurred on Sunday last, in the yard of Messrs. Menzies and Son, ship-builders, Leith. Mr. Maclean, hair dresser, from Edinburgh, had gone up the gangway of a steam-ship, now building there, for the purpose of viewing it, and having leaned back, resting on his umbrella, to get a look at the upper part of the vessel, the umbrella slipped down be tween two boards and caused him to lose his balance. The consequence was, that he fell from the gangway, and was killed.—Edinburgh Chronicle --Mnaftme-ile F.. wife-of -a , 1T1.9..f,p rich nufa:eturer tu was accustomed to shoot at her country seat, in the environs of Paris. A few mornings ago, she took her gun and went out into the park, to take, as it was supposed, the pleasure of sporting, but after loading the piece, she fired the contents into her own body, and instantly expired. The cause of this desperate act is said to be vexation at having no children, her husband having frequently expressed his mortification at her barrenness.—French Paper. ELOPEMENT.—Last week a young lady eloped from Dorset House Tunbridge Wells, in company with the groom, a mutual attachment having existed for some time between the parties. The sisters of the young lady went from home in the morning on a visit to some friends living in the neighbourhood, during which interval a chaise and pair was ordered from Mr. Churchill's, of the Kentish Hotel, to wait in Church-road, in to which the youg lady was assisted, accompanied by her lover, and instantly drove off towards town. Some hours elapsed be fore the fugitives were missing. They were traced as far as Sevenoaks, but beyond that all clue was lost.—Greenwich Gazette. STEAM TO INDIA.—A projected expedition is now in preparation at Liverpool for establishing a steam commu nication with India by way of the Mediterranean. It is to con sist of two flat-bottomed steamers, manufactured of iron, which, with their engines, will be transported in a vessel to the coast of Syria, to be there landed, and conveyed by the camels to the banks of the Euphrates, and then put together. The expedition will be under the direction of Captain Chesney, of the Royal Artillery, having under him an officer and twenty artillerymen, and also a Lieutenant of the Royal Navy, with two mates (Mr. James Fitzjames, from the Winchester, to be one), engineers, &c. —Hampshire Telegraph. PARISIAN IMPROVEMENTS.—It iS said to have been at length determined that the Obelisk of Luxor shall not be fixed in the Place de la Concorde, but at the rond point of the Champs Elysees, as in this situation it will less impede the double perspective of the Tuileries and the Arch of the Etoile, and will be more properly situated between masses of verdure than among the modern buildings of the place it was intended to occupy. The twelve statues of the Pont de la Concorde, which at present overwhelm the Chamber of Deputies, will be placed in the grand avenue of the Champs Elysees, between the Tulleries and the rond point. The fosses of the Place are to be filled up and covered with grass plats, on which porticos will be erected, whose elevation will not impede the prospect of this vast esplanade. Two statues have just been elevated to the top of the triumphal Arch in the Place du Carrousel, to complete the group of the triumphal chariot. They ap pear to be checking the speed of the horses, and are said to be the same statues that formerly accompanied the celebrated Venetian horses on that monument. TEA TRADE.—Several members of the tea trade are contemplating the erection of a respectable and commo dious building for the public sales of teas on the site of ground now laid open at the top and fronting Great Tower street. This spot is at once contiguous and yet perfectly dis tinct from the West India market, and extremely convenient for the wholesale trade and Custom-house business: The building to have a coffee and reading-room attached, and the capital requisite to be raised in shares of 501. each, three fourths of which to be held by tea-merchants, brokers, whole sale dealers, and captains trading to China, and the other fourth by persons engaged in the general East India trade. The spot contemplated for the building is admirably adapted for the trade, and the elevation of the edifice from top to bottom will be seen with great effect from the Tower ; the Tower also, viewed from this spot through a long street, pre sents itself with striking grandeur. Some doubts are enter tained whether the city can grant space enough for the pro jected building; but there is no doubt the Bridge Committee will do every thing to facilitate and encourage undertakings so publicly beneficial to the city. The trade at Liverpool have already completed a splendid and commodious building for a similar purpose. - - - - Yesterday, about 1 o'clock, a dray drawn by one horse and loaded with empty casks, belonging to the firm of Messrs. Lettsom, Elliott, and Co., Westminster, was coming from the direction of Charing-cross, when just opposite the principal entrance to the Treasury the animal took fright, and notwithstanding the exertions of the driver started off at full speed from the main road on to the pathway, and ran the dray and himself right against the balustrade which surmounts the area in front of the Treasury Chambers ; so great was the shock, that nearly twelve feet in length of the massive and and ponderous stone-work, and one or two of the lower win dows, were broken and destroyed, and the horse himself pre cipitated, into the area, a depth of several feet, hanging, as it were, by the harness of the dray. Immediate steps were of course taken to rescue the animal, and after he was disentangled from the harness, he got upright upon his legs in the middle of the narrow area ; some large planks were then quickly pro cured, and formed into an inclined plane, and by this means the horse was backed out upon the footway easily. He was a very large and powerful animal, of a dark, chestnut colour, and what is remarkable, with the exception of some cuts on his forehead, nose, and breast, he was so little injured as, in the space of half an hour from the time of the accident, to be again harnessed to the dray, which drove off as if nothing had oc curred. In addition to the crowd which this odd event quickly collected, the whole of the Treasury establishment were out upon the parapet of the building, apparently not a little asto nished at this very singular visitation. MIDDLESEX GENERLL QUARTER SESSIONS (THIS DAY.) ) (Before Sir W. CURTIS an a Bench of Magistrates.. TIIE ROYAL SOYkEIGN STEAMER. Captain Grant, wh o m o ur r i d er s will recollect was cop-, victed two sessions ago o f twilit) ; down a skiff off Greenwichai belonging to a person of the nas4 of Heath, with the R 01? Sovereign steamer, appeared this-norniog at the sitting o f the Court to receive judgment. Mr. RYLAND stated on the part o f t h e prosecution , that at a the time of the conviction of the Captain the Court requ ir him to enter into his own recogni anc e s to appear for judg - ar . ment, the Court at that time intim t i n g its wish that the P': ties should settle matters. Ever ping had now been done 7 the satisfaction of the parties, and m the part of the pros anal tion he now only called upon the Court to pass a noraluP judgment upon him. Sir W. CURTIS wished to kmw the particulars of the arrangement that had been made latween the parties. Mr. PHILLIPS admitted that the Steam-company to wil,°, l the vessel under the command of CLptain Grant belonged 11 ' , behaved in the most handsome manner towards the prosecuto.r, having given him 80/., but at the same time the Court shetulaii consider that the prosecutor had lost several articles. Cap a ht Grant being so valuable an officer to the Company, be thought it was only fair on their part to reimburse him for his loss. u , or Sir W. CURTIS thought the sum given to the prosec 10 most exorbitant, considering that the vessel only a skiff. The result d the arrangement ona present case would make him in future most cautious in a ° It ing parties to settle subjects of this kind out of door!: 04 certainly was a case of neglect on the part of Captain or but not of such a nature as to require visiting so heavilY' 8 0/. Mr. HOBLER, jun., begged to remind the Court that thc a , included the costs of the prosecution, the loss of the pro f - big tor's clothes, the injury to his boat., and the expenses coming from Liverpool. e Sir W. CURTIS thought, under the circumstances, if O f „., e Court had been called upon to fine the Captain at the ;7,,, a injured the his conviction, they would not have awarded near so l ar ° sum M . P as that which had been given. d rHILLIPS must say that the defendant had be have handsomely. f 15n The COURT then sentenced the Captain to a fi ne and ordered him to be discharged.

Primes in exhibited articles of the p e ace °- b a f , 11 of Mr. Marshall, of the firm of Simpkins and Marsha I,ol' noted booksellers, against Mr. Henry Charrington , B .4it ies merchant, residing at Hornsey. It appeared from th e 81: the that Mr. Marshall had a country house at Horns* ,i n ci o n neighbourhood of which Mr. Henry Charrington earr e l e e r , to his business. The latter sent several threatening let /At 3 Mr. Marshall for the" purpose of provoking him tu 'so 111% duel, and that gentleman taking no notice of thew,' us ed Charrington called at Mr. Marshall's house, and 04 the most insulting language to him, calling him a i c,°, ho e a villain, and several other opprobrious epithets. I' ll t h also repeated the attacks w hen Mr. Marshall was ° 10 Hornsey coach, before a great number of passenger?'oo conseyience of this, Mr. Marshall applied to a Mak i : 0 5 and obtained a warrant against Mr. Charrington, whumof ordered to enter into his own recognizances in the s of as 80/., and two sureties of 401. each, to keep the pe ace to e cl to Mr. Marshall till the sessions. Mr. Phillips now a p p ha those recognizances continued. Sir W. CURTIS, after consulting with his colleagues on Bench ordered the recognizances to be continued.
