GERMAN PAPERS HESSE DARMSTADT, SEPT 6.--We understand that the As sembly of the States of our Grand Duchy is drawing rapidly to a close ; the debates on the Budget, it is supposed, arc the less likely to be protracted, as the Ministers are already agreed on all the main points with the Committee, so that the debates that may "arise on it in the Chamber of Deputies will probably not occupy much time. ASCHAFFENBURG, SEPT. 6.—lt is reported that his Majesty the King of Bavaria will go direct from this place to Italy, and that the Queen will stay here some time longer. It is also said that at a later period of the year, when the usual autumnal storms are over, perhaps not till December or January, his Majesty will visit Greece. SEPT. B.—His Majesty, who has been indisposed for a few days, is now quite recovered, so that he was able the day be fore yesterday to be present at a hunting party. The Prince Von Wallerstein, Minister of State, is expected here.--Frank fort Papers, Sept. 13. PRUSSIA, SEPT. 7.—Our letters from Petersburg say that after a review at \Vilna the Emperor Nicholas will visit the southern provinces of the empire, and there also have reviews of troops, but only of a small detached corps, which are in fact already collected together. The number of troops that Russia maintains in the south is considerable and nearly double that in the northern provinces. This arrangement has probably been made, because there was room to fear an interruption of the ex isting relations of the East, and though the troubles in Syria are put down, these fears are still kept up by the pretensions of the English Cabinet. It seems scarcely credible that the East gives in London more occasion to write and talk than the West, though the latter is so much nearer, and has in itself so much inflammable matter that two generations may easily pass away without noticing. But people are in general fond of looking • for objects at a distance, and then, after some dear bought experience, are vexed that they have over looked that which is of importance, and busied themselves about trifles. This is the case in England, whose Ministers are in continual alarm about the East, but do not see what is passing at home, and do not perceive the danger that threatens from Spain, or fancy that they are strong enough to avert it when the time shall come. This is an error for which they will per haps have to make a severe atonement, and which was recog nized as su c h by Canning. His comprehensive mi n d i n d u l ge d no illusions respecting Spain ; he considered every experiment that should aim at propagating the new ideas in Spain as a blunder. His words, in reference to this subject, cannot be sufficiently repeated, but seeing not to be known to the present 1 English Ministers, who seek to liberalize Spain by force, and without regard to the situation, manners and customs of the people, without regard to their own interests, make common cause with France, and seem to stupify themselves, as if the dangerous crisis to which th e c i v il war ki n dl e d i n t h e Peninsula may bring Europe did not concern Eng land. It is remarkable how pliant English policy is, with respect to Spain—how it moulds itself entirely in the spirit of Talleyrand ; and, on the other hand, in how obstinate, nay underhand, a manner, it goes to work whenever the East is in question. Those who are at all ac quainted with the notions that Lord Palmerston has conceived respecting the situation of Turkey, its connexion with Russia, and the task which has thereby devolved on England of in terfering, will not wonder when he sees all the activity of the Noble Lord lavished on a diplomatic episode, and hears him continually calling out fire, where there is not even any com bustible matter. All the world knows what is the intention of the Convention of Constantinople in the manner Russia will have it understood, and how the Russian Charge d'Af faires at Constantinople lately furnished the commentary to it. Lord Palmerston alone does not know it; be sees the articles , of this convention double, and deduces manifold conclusions from their supposed meaning. In thi s v i ew t h e movemen t of the English fleet in the Mediterranean seems to be explicable, for it comes and goes, goes and comes, without knowing why or wherefore, just as if its object were to go in search of some adventure, or to give an opportunity for com plaints, in order to justify the useless activity in which Great Britain has entangled herself. We, believe, how ever, that it will prove to be labour in vain, and that the Eng lish Admiral will no more succeed in bringing the Porte out of its calm attitude, than the innumerable notes of Lord Pal merston can contribute to disturb the political course which the Cabinets of Petershurgh and Constantinople are resolved stedfastly to pursue. NAPOLI, Ace. 11.—The recall of Messrs. Maurer and Abel, the two members of the State Council, is considered to be fraught with evil to the country. The Greeks observe with a scrutinizing eye the movements of the Regency, and have given the most significant proofs of their great esteem for the recalled Ministers. As far as could be gathered from the administrative acts of these gentlemen it would seem that their whole thoughts were directed to the promotion of the public welfare. Among their first acts was the establishment of the independence of the Greek National Church by the creation of a National Synod, a measure which the Greeks received with unanimous approba tion. May this important work meet with no interruption The Courts of Justice and the schools will be definitively or ganised in September, and the commercial organisation will take place throughout the kingdom. The lively interest which the inhabitants display in the choice of persons who are to be placed at the head of their municipal administration, shows how greatly they prize the new organisation they have pro cured. Accounts from Maina speak unfavourably of the sanitary state of the Royal Troops--the greator part of them are laid up either with dysentery or fever. L. itomelia there hac been a new irruption" of robbers, who are to the amount of about 200. They are chiefly Albanians, whom it will be difficult to repress without the establishment of a cordon of troops along the frontier. These events occasion great uneasiness to the Regency at the present moment, when such great changes have taken place in the Administration.-- .Alerneine Zeitung, Sept. 13. THE FLY ON THE GLASS. We have before spoken of the fret and fury into which the common fly seems to put himself against a window. Bees appear to take it more patiently, out of a greater knowledge ; and slip about with a strange air of hopelessness. They seem to " give it up." These things, as Mr. Pepys said of the humanities at court, "it is pretty to observe." Glass itself is a phe nomenon that might alone serve a reflecting observer with meditation for a whole morning,—so substantial and yet so air -like, so close and compact to keep away the cold, yet so transparent and facile to let in light, the gentlest of all things—so palpably something, and yet to the eye and the perceptions a kind of no thing ! It seems absolutely to deceive insects in this respect, which is remarkable, considering how closely they handle it, and what microscopic eyes we suppose them to have. We should doubt (as we used to do) whether we did not mistake their ideas on the subject, if we had not so often seen their repeated dashings of themselves against the panes, their stoppings, as if to take breath, and then their re -commencement of the same violence. It is difficult to suppose that they do this for mere pleasure, for it looks as if they must hurt themselves. Observe in particular the tremendous thumps given himself by that great hulking fellow of a fly, that Ajax of the Diptora, the blue-bottle. Yet, in autumn, in their old age, flies congregate in windows as elsewhere, and will take the matter so quietly as to stand still for hours to gether. We suppose they love the warmth, or the light ; and that either they have found out the secret as to the rest,- or " Years have brought the philosophic mind." Why should fly plague himself any longer with house hold matters which he cannot alter ? He was tried hard in his time ; and now he resigns himself like a wise insect, and will taste whatsoever tranquil pleasures remain for him, without losing his brains or losing his temper any longer. In natural livers pleasure survives pain. Even the artificial, who keep up their troubles so long by pride, self-will, and the want of stimulants, contrive to get more pleasure than is sup posed out of pain itself, especially by means of think ing themselves ill used, and of grumbling. If the heart (for want of better training) does not much keep up its action with them, the spleen does ; and so there is action of some sort : and wherever there is ac tion, there is life ; and life is found to have something valuable in it for its own sake, apart from ordinary considerations either of pain or pleasure. But your fly and your philosopher are for pleasure too to the last, if it be harmless. Give old Musca a grain of sugar, and see how he will put down his proboscis, to it, and dot, and pound, and suck it in, and be as happy as an old West India gentleman ponderin g on his sugar-cane, and extract i ng a pleasure out of some dulcet recollection. —London Journal. We are informed, that on the night of the 10th in stant a brig from Irvine, coal-laden, was driven by the storm on the Bar-rocks, and now lies in a most dangerous situativa. —Newry Telegraph. SALE OF EAST INDIA VESSELS. —On Wed nesday there was a numerous attendanc e of the shipping and mercantile interests at Lloyd's Coffee-house, the attention of parties especially engaged in the East India and China trade having been drawn to the sale of the finest ship belonging to the East India Company, the Court of Directors not having any further o c c as i on f o r their vessels, in co nsequence of the cessation of their commercial privileges. The ship now sub mitted to competition was the Earl If Balearras, built of teak at Bombay in 1811, and bought by the Company for their own service in 1815. The vessel has since undergone many ex.. tensive repairs. Her stores and armament were most com plete, having 26 guns mounted, but capable of carrying 64, and is therefore well calculated for a ship of war or a trader to India and China. The vessel had always been considered the finest merchantman in the world. The auctioneer stated that he expected at least 12,0001. for the vessel. The biddings were commenced at 8,000/., and gradually advanced till they reached 10,7001., at which the vossel was, with all her stores, &c., dispo s ed of.

Just ready, in 3 vols. post Bvo., THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII By the Author of " Pelham," " Eugene Aram," " England and the English." Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington-street. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin. THE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON. wig ... , ;41 •,! ~~~ :~'~- %. It Tht LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1534. Another meeting of the Protestant Conservative Society took place on Tuesday last in Dublin. These men are making desperate efforts to keep alive religious discord in Ireland, but fortunately with little or no success, for from all we can gather of their proceed ings, as well as from the chop-fallen spirit of their own journals, their meetings and counter-meetings— their addresses—their speeches--their placards, mi naceous and expostulatory--each and all fall as dead and heavy on the public mind as OBA DIAII'S hat on Mr. WALTER SHANDY'S kitchen floor. But this unequivocal failure is not con fined solely to the Conservatives—it is shared near- ly equally by the O'Connellites. If the Orange Lodges are ,despised and laughed at, the Liberal clubs are by no means in greater favour with the peo ple ; whence we infer that there is a growing indiffer ence and distaste in the public mind of Ireland towards all party extremes, which augurs well for its shrewd. ness and common-sense. At the last meeting of the Dublin Conservative Society, Mr. BOYTON was the chief orator. He was exceedingly choleric—as most Irish Clergymen are apt to be, on matters that affect the sensibility of their pockets--and entered into countless prolix details of the sufferings that the Protestants were hourly undergoing at the hands of Government and its agents, the O'CONNELLITES. On this portion of his theme, the Rev. Gentleman evidently intended to be overpowering. The poor, persecuted Protestants, he said, whose chief 'crime was attachment to the land of their fathers,—whose chief virtue (to say nothing of a hundred minor ex. cellencies, " too numerous," as our show-placards say, "to be mentioned within the limits of a hand bill"), was an almost superhuman meekness of dispo sition, were being routed out—hunted—and trampled on in all quarters. The consequence was, 'that they were emigrating by thousands ; all the virtue wisdom—honour—wit--eloquence of the " gem," were in daily process of shipment to the Ca nadas or the United States ; and if this stream of emigration conthmed to flow much longer, Ireland would be left in the same demoralized condition that the world Wus, when A strea quitted it. For ourselves, we must confess we have no appre hensions for the results of this emigration. Ireland can well spare a few BoyroNs, SULLIVANS, and all the existing dynasty of the BERESFoRDS. She has not yet learned to think with complacency of the .‘ triangles" and " pitch -plasters" of this last accom plished fraternity. The Paris Papers of Wednesday are almost wholly confined to iietails and indignant remonstrances on the part of the independent portion of the press, against the last rirosecution of the republican journal the Na tional, which was lately acquitted at the Assizes of Paris, but on, Tuesday last was found guilty of an attempt to overthrow the existing government, and its responsible Editor, M. ROUEN, sentenced to six months' imprison ment, and the payment of a fine of 6,000 francs. These incessant persecutions of the press can have but one eventual termination —the downfall of Louis PHIL-. LIPPE and the Doctrinaire system. We I nave received from Madrid accounts of the pro. ceedings of the Cortes of the date of the 11th inst, The Finance Committee has at last made its report, in which the Cortes loans contracted between 1820 and 1823, both included, are recognized, and the subse quent French loans are rejected, together with the debt, the payment of which had been guaranteed by treaty to Prance. The Committee has further unanimously agreed to limit the present loan required by Ministers to two hundred millions of reals, which is only half th:3 amount sought for. What future ste sthe !vliniWy intend taking is at present unknow n. By THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1834 reference to another column it will be seen that the petition upon the Bill of Rights has been carried in detail, and in toto, in despite of the whole influence of the Ministry. We have just been favoured with intelligence from Lisbon of the Bth inst., from which we learn that the Regent Don PEDRO, is recovering, though his health continues in a most precarious state. His complaint i s sa id to be dropsical. For some days his recovery was despaired of, and some went so far as to report that poison was the cause of illness ; but happily for the country over which he presides, hopes arc entertained of his re-appearance in public in a few days. The country is steadily pro gressing in improvement, the people are generally well contented, and the plans of the Government are giving general satisfaction. The immense importance of whatever has a ten dency to facilitate an internal communication between the inhabitants of this great kingdom, and more espe cially between the large provincial towns and the metropolis, demands that public attention should be more generally directed towards the important question of railroads, now engaging the minds of some of the most talented and patriotic persons in the United Kingdom. It is a sad sight to behold the vast numbers of public men, individually interested in the improve ment of their country, who either from indolence or indifference, neglect to examine the practicability and efficiency of a measure which promises to raise this kingdom—owing to its commercial relations, and colonial dependencies—above the level of the most favoured nations in Europe. Why this indolence, or in difference, or both ? Is mankind still ashamed of appear ing more intelligent than their barbarous progenitors ? Is the range of the human mind so bounded that the savage sees it at a glimpse ; or is there impiety in em ploying our highest mental faculties in promoting human happiness, and diminishing human suffering ? To suppose an answer in the affirmative, would be too sharp a satire on the understanding of the most pros trate worshipper of ancestorial wisdom. The resolutions passed at a public meeting, held at Norwich on the 13th inst., at which the MAYOR pre sided as Chairman, and which was attended by a great number of highly respectable gentlemen, for the pur pose of connecting Yarmouth with London, by a rail way passing through Norwich, will be found in an advertisement in another column,—and is the more worthy of attention, as evincing the progress which this great question is everywhere making at the pre sent moment. The meeting was attended by Mr. CUNDY, an able, intelligent, and public-spirited engineer, who in an eloquent speech, and subse quently, in answer to several interrogatories, explained to the entire satisfaction of the meeting the practicabi lity and importance of such a line of communication between a large fishing town on the extreme coast of England, and the metropolis of the British empire. His remarks on this subject were truly valuable, in consequence of the great reflection which he had be stowed on the results of such a communication to this country, as regarded Foreign States. This was what particularly struck us the moment his peculiar mode of reasoning on the utility of the rail-road in question was made known to us, as it was through the medium of an intelligent correspondent. The following extract from the advertisement before referred to, gives a faint outline of his views : " He fully proved the importance of the plan to the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., and the superiority of transporting cattle by vehicles over the present method of driving, which occasioned a great reduction in their value. He informed the meeting, that in consequence of some important information relative to the trade of Yarmouth, it would be highly advan tageous to extend the communication to that port, which would complete the line with the German Ocean. He had been supplied with correct data, which enabled him to demon strate that this determination would not only be important to the Company in a pecuniary way, but that it would be a great benefit to the population of Yarmouth, and furnish an immense supply of the finest fish to the London market, and through the country. It would connect that town with the northern districts, and with the north of Europe in particular; and pro bably the Post-office packets would convey the mails to Ham burg, Gottenburg, &c., from that port." An intelligent public wnuld find it impossible to close its eyes to the importance of truths thus ably de monstrated. The farmers of the inland counties, who are in the habit of annually sending cattle to Smithfield, have too often lamented the injury their eir beasts s usta i ne d , and the great depreciation which has taken place in their value, in consequence of being over-driven, not to see the importance, to them, of the scheme here developed, by which they would be en abled to send their flocks to market without undergoing any fatigue whatever. We know enough of pastoral pursuits, to be able to assert of our own knowledge, that cattle driven for only thirty miles will grow lean in consequence, so that they will not bring by one sixteenth the price they would have done had they not been removed from their accustomed pasturage. The other observations are still more worthy of regard, as they are more comprehensive and philosophical-- more in accordance with the true spirit of national im provemelit. There is no doubt but that a rail-road froin London to Yarmouth, passing through Norwich, would open a direct communication between that town and the North of Europe. This has been long a most desirable object, as England has yet but little benefited by the great fisheries in the North Seas, and London is at present most inconveniently and precariously supplied with that necessary article of human subsistence. The trade with Scotland too would be greatly increased, as a direct, cheap, and expeditious land .communication between Yarmouth and London would induce the Scotch traders to - prefer that line of travel, to the delay and danger which attends the further navigation of the Thames. The Highland fisheries would be also mate rially benefitted from the same cause. But the national interest for promoting every scheme of railway improvement is not confined to merely local considerations, and shareholders' profits. The Govern ment would find in such facilities of transporting troops from one part of the kingdom to another, at almost no expense, and with comparatively no trouble, a power ful er.lgine for defending the country, and f or securing . as internal quiet, even were a reduction of the army to take place to-morrow. By means of a good line of railroad a greater military force —.men, stores, ammuni tion, and baggage —could be removed from one town or garrison to another in one day, than could, under the present modes of military conveyance) in a week. pub More need no t b e sa id to impress those lic-spirited veterans, who have served in the army - with the degree o f attent i on of which this consi4erA u n alone is deserving. But though we prefer treating this question on tin) I general an d a d m i tte d principle of national improvement. we cannot over l oo k t h e f act o f the vast 1111 , -‘ I would be benefitted by the ee*-' communication ' ing through Norwich. The statement before us esti mates the population at about three millions and a half, and the numbers are not overrated. To a large portion of these a railway will open a new channel for industry—an inexhaustible fund of richly remunerating labour. The northern coast will be improved, manufactures will flourish, and the fruits of agriculture will be made available to the wants of the producers, and the necessities of the consumers. Every step taken to facilitate the inter course of a nation with itself, or with foreigners, is a link struck off from the chain of barbarism in which mankind have been bound for ages. If our readers require other arguments, of a nature '.,1310re in accordance with the modes of reasoning most in request among mercantile men, we have much plea sure in referring them to the speeches delivered at a meeting of the Committee of the Bath and Bristol Railway Company, particularly those of Mr. SAUN DERS, the able and indefatigable Secretary, of which an abridged report is given in another part of The Sun. The gentlemen whose speeches are there given, are persons of high character, to whom the most ardent venerator of the wisdom of antiquity would not deny the right of sug gesting improvements, as they possess " stakes in the community." By the way, we have just received a PROSPECTUS of a proposal for the establishment of a Southern Railway, which, in the words of the writer, " will give facility to the projected Western, the Midland, and the Great Northern Railways to York, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Nottingham, Bury St. Ed mond's, and Norwich." This line of • southern com munication is intended to connect London, Horsham, Shoreham, Brighton, Arundel, Chichester, and Ports mouth ; but as the subject is important we shall take au early opportunity of again referring to it. In a word, we regard all railroads as veins or channels through which the life-blood of the state will be conveyed from the heart to the extremities, and re turn again with invigorating energy, infusing new life and vigour into the whole social system. We know that in the first instance great individual loss will necessarily be sustained by stage-coach proprietors and others, whose interest it is to support the existing state of things. This we know, and lament most sincerely ; though we will not admit that a nation should suffer to preserve the privileges of a small number of individuals. However, we would suggest a remedy for the evil. Let the stage-coach owners lose no time in taking shares in. the railroads, and thus future profits will counterbalance prospective loss. They cannot stem the current ; the best way, therefore, is to adjust them selves to swim with it. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.-THIS DAY, The CHIEF-COMMISSIONER and Mr. Commissioner BOWEN were occupied the whole morning with motions and unopposed cases, which presented no points interesting to the public. The Commissioners rose before 1 o'clock. The Court will proceed with the opposed cases to-morrow. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are one French and a Lisbon mail, by the Espoir, which sailed on the Bth inst. At length we have received by the express from Paris this morning, the long expected report of the Finance Committee at Madrid, which confirms our Paris letter, stated in our City article the day before yesterday, that the Cortes Bonds have been in toto acknowledged, and the French loans, with the debt of France, the latter sacred by treaty, are not acknow ledged. Now it remains to be seen how the French Govern ment will put up with this latter robbery. We have - no doubt but the French Government will enforce their claims. They have also refused the request of the Minister of Finance for 100 million of francs, and have only granted him 50 mil lions. All this has been left to the decision of the Cham bers, therefore we must wait the result of their debates on the subject. _ No telegraphic despatch has been received from Bayonne of the operations at the theatre of war in Spain, which leaves us still in the dark respecting Rodil's movements. By the Lisbon mail of the Bth instant it appears that Don Pedro was still in a dangerous state of health, but upon the whole somewhat better, as he took an airing in his carriage. The French troops to the number of 1,500 men had revolted, and are going to be sent home. By accounts from Frankfort and Berlin the following is stated respecting the speculations in Spanish Stock in Ger many:— " FRANKFORT.-.A great number of persons in this town, as well as bankers, deeply interested in the Spanish affairs, are stated to have experienced numerous losses by speculating in the Spanish funds, owing to having followed the example of a great banking house, which was supposed to be well informed of the situation of the state of affairs in Spain; but this great house has been deceived, and has experienced a loss of seve ral millions." (From Berlin. ) The mania for speculating in the Spanish funds has been so great in the above capital, that a considerable number of the capitalists of Berlin have sold out their stock to purchase Spanish Bonds, thinking to obtain an interest of 9 per cent., with the risk of losing their capital ; even the worleng class, who possessed a capital of 1,000 rix dollars, also purchased Spanish Bonds, and the country people have followed the same example. From the above mania, it will be perceived the enormous losses they have experienced. THE FUNDS.

Now we are furnished with the long-looked-for report of the Committee at Madrid, which grants to the Spanish Cortes Bond-holders even more than they anticipated, what effect has it had on the market ? Instead of improving Spanish Stock it has caused it to recede—Spanish, which left off yester days 32 54k, opened this morning at 534-, and at present is 54. Naturally there must be some kind of alarm felt by the bondholders respecting the improper conduct on the part of the Finance Committee, in " robbing Peter to pay Paul," and no doubt they expect that the French Government will not be sorossly duped of their just debt.

THREE O'CLOCK GRAND MILITARY SPECTACLE IN HYDE PARK. —( Tins DAY. )—This morning, at nine o'clock, the Cold stream Guards marched into Hyde Park, for the purpose of going through a grand field-day upon a complete new system of exercise, similar to the light infantry companies. On marching into Hyde Park they commenced their evolutions near the Serpentine River by an extended line of firing. The fog was so dense that it was impossible to observe any of the troops, and the astonishment of the passers by was considerably heightened by a continual roar of musketry, extended to Ken sington-gardens. The length of time the firing was kept up drew together a concourse of persons to witness the spectacle, and on the fog clearing off, which it did very suddenly, the sight was most imposing, and the evolutions, which the troops performed with great precision, proved the excellency of the new system of military practice. The men appeared in high spirits on the occasion, and their movements gave universal satisfaction to the officers present. - - - It is reported that his Grace the Duke of Gloucester i s about to pay a visit to Sir Clifford Constable, of Burton Constable, intending to be present at the Hull Musical Festival.

The settling for the St. Leger took place this morning at the Betting-rooms, and went off very satisfactorily ; in most instances the balances were small, a reasonable dread of Pleni potentiary having deterred many from betting against him, while the smallness of the odds since the Derby prevented others from backing him. The gentlemen connected with Scott's stables, where Touchstone has been trained since Li verpool races, are only moderate winners, most of their money having been placed on Lady le Gros, who is stated to have had the best of the trials. Several parties who had profitted by Plenipo's Derby running were again on him, and lost, as a matter of course, but not to any serious extent. It is worthy of remark, if only tai neutralize the result, that two or three of Plenipo's backers left the stand just before the race to take a closer view of him, and it proved so opposite to what they had expected that they returned full speed, and got off all the money they could. It is quite certain that the horse was not fit to run ; he could scarcely raise a gallop, and required a touch of the whip every now and then to keep him in position long be fore he got to the Red House. The Yorkshire people say that he was cut down by the pace, and so, in fact, he was ; but :lying Childers himself could not have lived the pace if he had not been in racing condition. The race at Newmarket is decisive that, if Plenipotentiary had been in his Epsom form, he would not have been overpaced by Bubastes. We repeat that in this instance defeat carries no disgrace with it Pleni potentiary was beaten by a good horse, but of their compara tive merits nothing can be known till they meet on equal terms. It is almost superfluous to add, that Mr. Batson has throughout acted like a straightforward, honourable sportsman, and has always looked upon his horse as the property of the public. Amongst the 'betting men the principal winners are Messrs. Ridsdale, Robinson (of Manchester), Yeasley, Hicks,- Wagstaff, &c. We subjoin the pedigree of Touchstone :—He was bred by Lord Westminster, and got by Camel—Banter (bred by his Lordship in 1826), by Master Henry—Boadicea (sister to Bu cephalus) by Alexander, her dam Brunette by Amaranthus— Mayfly by Matchem—Ancaster Starling —Grasshopper—Sir M. Newton's Arabian—Pert, &c. His performances were described in our Paper of Tuesday. For the information of those who are curious in these mat ters we took the trouble to have the time accurately marked ; the race was run in three minutes and twenty-three seconds exactly.

LYME REGIS.—The Corporation have contracted for the erection of a wall to form a cart-road to the harbour at all times of the tide. This is one of the improvements pro posed at a public meeting, when Mr. Pinney, M. P. for the borough, was present, and subscribed 5001. towards the object.

WESTON-SUPER-MA RE.---On Thursday. .this fashionable watering-place was crowded to excess by an influx of visitors from Bristol, Bath, and the whole of the surround ing country, to witness the Regatta, which had been announced some days previously. The day was remarkably fine, and it is calculated that nearly 3,000 persons were assembled on the beach. The amusements commenced with sailing matches of the Weston and Pill boats, to the number of sixteen, accompanied by two steam-packets and pleasure boats, which were succeeded by pony diversions on the sands ; after which a rowing match took place, in the evening donkey racing, and the whole was closed by a display of fireworks.

With the means on the spot, most assuredly this pro ject lays claim to the deliberate consideration and relative support of every Englishman, connected as it is with the great' cause of lumanity, and the naval and mercantile interests of this country : which arises from its peculiar and protecting situation between Portsmouth and Fly' mouth, in all cases of extreme risk and danger at a time when no other haven affords a chance of refuge,- --- t hi ' incontrovertible fact, in reference to the last winter's ex: perience in Portland Roadstead, is generally known and duly appreciated by the maritime interest. Another strik ing proof of the necessity for the Portland Breakwater an that vessels during easterly gales avail themselves of an anchorage in Chisel Cove, Portland, situated in the on'est,_ bay, where they need, indeed, keep a sharp look in the event of a shift of wind, for if it should Budd veer round to the southward and westwar d, f aat ships and vessels are there, the consequences are , and almost inevitable. Again,—vessels homewa rd bowl : , o? are frequently ten or eleven days beating about t. channel in easterly winds, whose commanders would glad,lY, make for the Portland Breakwater, w ere it erected , t tain supplies, and on a change of wind proceed immediateye to their destined port.
