rally to comprehend these truths, it would make it a matter of difficulty' for any GovernMent to enter on wars of conquest. We are inclined to believe that these truths have, in reality, found an entrance into very many minds throughout Europe, and that in consequence it will be a much more difficult matter hereafter than it used to be for Governments to involve their subjects in war. All the wars,. for instance, in which England was engaged during the first half ofl the last century (leaving out of consideration the two last revolutionary wars), arose out off mistaken views of national advantage. Neither ; Goverment nor people in the present day would' think f ik lgoing to war on the same grounds. We have thus gained a greater probability of en joying peace, by the addition made to our knowledge, and let us hope that the diffusion of sound views will continue to diminish still more the chances of going to war. The whole race of Buonapartists, a pestiferous brood, of whom too many yet remain in France, being entirely without any other than military know ledge, cling to the 'mischievous notions of na tions benefitting themselves by conquest. We do not doubt that there are not a few of them who imagine that England derives great advan tages from her influence in Portugal, and that it would be a desirable object for France to occupy Spain, and clear the Peninsula of the:English.— We know such notions are entertained, because we have been doomed to hear them. An article iii another column, headed " From a Corr.- • spondent," communicates many of the notions that fill the heads of politicians of the Buona partist school. For our parts, the sooner we can withdraw with honour the troops from Portugal, the better it will be for us. The only ground on which we should object to the French attempt ing to realise any of their wildgoose schemes in the Peninsula, is not the disadvantage to our selves, but the duty of neighbourhood, which calls on all nations to prevent, as much as pos sible, any nation from interfering with another. We really, however, cannot believe that the French Ministers are so silly as to wish either to occupy Spain permanently, or to obtain pos session of any of its provinces. The French, though comprehensive views in politics are sel dom taken by them, would never surely tolerate such an abuse of power as the attempt to hold possession of Spain in spite of the natives, would amount to. Vast sums of money must be ex pended in any such attempt, and it could not possibly be successful. Buonaparte, with all Europe at his back, could hardly have garrisoned Spain, and the present Government would not surely be able to do it with all Europe the other way. As to what our Correspondent states of the old claims of France, that is altogether out of the question in the present day. But why ,should the French wish to extend their limits in the direction of Spain ? If ever nature sepa painted two countries front each other, she has done so by the Pyrenees in the case of France and Spain. Mountains of the first order, by interrupting communication, form the best of all boundaries between nations.—Morning Chron. It cannot be denied that the state of Greece has long been one not only of distress and alarm to its inhabitants, but of annoyance to all the mer cantile powers of Europe ; nor do we therefore deny the right of the latter to remonstrate, and, if that were unavailing, to repress, by force, a nuisance which was in its nature calculated to affect not only its immediate neighbourhood, but the whole civilized word. But that which can be justifiable to-day, was of course still more so, as a matter of precaution, years ago ; nor can we understand the peremptory tone assumed to wards the Porte now, in the first instance, instead of the conciliatory forms of remonstrance and me diation which should have been adopted. Let she Philhellenists, as they call themselves, shape their view of the matter how they will, let them talk of their classical recollections and sympathies (sympathies, by-the-bye, which have, for the most part, their origin in the Stock Exchange), we defy them to deny that the Greeks are as much the subjects of the Porte as the inhabi tants of Ireland, Jersey, and Guernsey, are those of the King of England. Now, if the inhabi tants of one or all of these islands, or any other isolated part of his Majesty's dominions, were to break out into open rebellion, and were to ex tend its consequences to other States by piracy or clunder, or otherwise, so as to obstruct, if we may s e say, the great highway of nations, we do not dens' that France, Spain, and Russia, or even Turkey herself, however far she might be from the inconvenience, would have a right to say to the King of England—" Put an end to this nuisance, or we must but we know, too, what the Government of. the people of England would think, and do too, upon such an occasion. The British lion, though couchant, perhaps, at the time, would be apt to rouse from his state of' lethargy, would shake his mane, erect his paws, alternately, and, with native fury in his eye, evould exclaim—" What are my subjects, or my affairs, to you ?—interfere with them at your • peril." Now, what we should do in our own case, we have no right to complain of being done under similar circumstances by others. It is true that the Ambassadors of the United Powers, in their recent Note to the Reis Effendi, state that " during six years the Great Powers of Europe have been engaged in endeavours to in &ince the Sublime Porte to enter into a pacifica tion with Greece it would, however, we be lieve, puzzle those Powers, and their Ministers too, to point out what those endeavours have been, or even of what kind of language they have consisted. Certain it is, that no snnulta neous movement or endeavour has heretofore taken place e nor would, we believe, have taken place now, had not Mr, Canning's zeal been outwitted by the crafty policy of one at least, of the other contract in g parties. That the whole xivilized world would be glad ton ee amend put t o the desolation to long goig on Greece ea meot be doubted ; but that Great Britain is, at the eleventh hour, to be involved in a war for such an object, and that a war, the result of which may open a door to future inroads upon o ur own most valua ble colonies, is a state of things which none but Ultra-Philhellenists and holders of Greek bonds can view , Die crisis with is any other se nsations than those of a la rm• one of difficulty, from which (in O'hat used to be the language of our Courts till Mr. Peel's late Act repealed it) we wish t he British Mi nistry " a good deliverance.''-3foen,lig Herald. Since the death of Mr. Canning, and the re formation of the Ministry, domestic politics ap pear to have excited but little attention ; and were It..nOt for the state of involvement in which we are placed ';by 'that : g entleman's policy with re g ar d Portugal to and - Turkey, scarcely any iiterest would be felt by the majority of the country with re and to foreign affairs. the latter A s much lets censiderabte than would be imagi ne d ; and were it not for ttaturmoil which the goo d people of the Stock E k change keep up (for the good of their country, no doubt), the country would be in that truly happy and enviable state,—but one to which she has been almost for ages a stranger—the situ ation, we mean, of being nearly independent of external causes for her prosperity and welfare. — For, in the mean time, the tide of national pros-: perity appears to have set in to a degree which ought to satisfy the least contented of the whole . tribe of political grumblers. While an abundant harvest has crowned the labours ofthe husbandman, and the fruits of the earth, in every form and species, are laid up in store for the supply of every human wa: —wfiile foreign commerce brings to our shores every thing, which, though denied to us by our climate, necessity or luxury may require— every class of national industry is quietly return ing to the state from which y it had declined— bidding fair, if no untoward circumstances, or political quackery, intervene, to place the country in a more healthy state than she has ever yet at tamed to. Such is the state of Great Britain, at least, and we trust will soon be of Ireland also, in which the present Ministers enter upon their offices. That their's is altogether a bed of roses, or that that of a Minister of State ever can be so, we do not assert ; but it must be by had mis management indeed, of those at the helm, that t h e vesse l now that she is off shore, and fairly at if she does not pursue sea with favouring gales, her voyage with safety and success. Happily 'it is the 'interest of the rest of Europe, like our selves, to maintain the general peace ; and we do not therefore apprehend that, with tolerable tact on the part of our Government, even the steps of Mr. Canning, to which we have alluded, can have any very serious effect upon the general tranquillity. It is, therefore, to our domestic state mainly that the attention of Ministers should be directed. Of the difficulties which present themselves on this head, the great incubus of the debt is, as it has long been, the most formidable. But there are other objects besides financial ones, to which, frost the state of the country, the attention of Ministers ought to be, and must be called. Of these, the state of crime and pauperism, in which so large a share of the population are involved, must tbirnish an almost paramount consideration. Of this, the very state of prosperity which we have -alluded to, must of necessity dissipate a great deal ; but still there is unfortunately much more which has become so rooted in our system, that nothing but a total change of system can effectually get rid of it. Judging from the con duct of too many in the higher classes of society, it would seem, that some of them at least require to be told, that national prosperity, to be perma nent and lasting, must be founded on individual virtue and integrity. It is not the influence and example of a few which can controul the progress of events ; but if the day should ever come when the majority of any one class in society become so depraved as to lose sight of the main duties of their calling ; if gaining, if luxury in the highest —if dishonesty, if drunkenness and sloth, take possession of the lowest, then farewell for ever (or at least for the age in which they happen) to any further progress in those exliilirating pros pects which mark the march of public prosperity. Without assuming the task of the Divine, which we may appear to be doing, we cannot altogether refrain from impressing those topics on the minds both of governors and of the governed. If each man, whether his station be high or low, could but be brought to know and to consider, the infinite consequence which his conduct and example are of to the well-being of the state, a great deal of the indifference which we now witness, even in the highest ranks, and of mis chievous example which we see its all, would be clone away, and much more of individual energy applied, where it is most wanted, to the common stock.—Eid. The great question of resistance or submission on the part of the Porte has now been decided, and, ere many days shall elapse, all Europe will be in possession of the result. That Turkey would not yield as long as remonstrances or threats alone were used had been anticipated ; that she should have maintained her proud bear- Mg to the end, is therefore no cause for astonish ment. Neither is it a guide for the future. She has hitherto attempted to intimidate, and, to a certain extent, and for too long a period, she has been successful ; but as she could intimidate only by an appearance of resolution, and not by the reality of her strength, she feels that actiol must reveal her weakness, and that her weakness once proved, she is annihilated as an European Power. She will, therefore, we still trust, though not before the eleventh, and perhaps the twelfth hour, consult her true interests, and con cede what she must refuse in vain. Her last re fuge has failed her. She imagined, and perhaps she acted on skilful advice, that total silence respecting the Ultimatum of the Allies would save her from actual conflict ; but this was also anticipated, and the last note of their Ministers has closed that door to hope. It now remains for her to ascertain whether she may obtain aid, as well as advice, and if aid is denied, as we trust it will be, then, and then alone, she will embrace submission.—New Times. 3IEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 22.—SUGAR.—The British Plantation market has been heavy since our last re port, vet a fair extent of business has been done, but for good and fine scale qualities there is scarcely any sale, the demand being still confined to brown and , middling. The quantity sold is SOO casks, chiefly' of the late arrivals from Demerara, at prices barely supporting last week's currency, and of East India the trade have taken 400 bags fine white Bengal at 765. Gd. MoLAssEs have brought rather Stiffer prices, 150 puncheons good St. Vincent obtaining 325. 6d. In Rum there is no alteration : proof Leeward has been sold at 2s. 3d., and Jamaica 12 O.P. at 3s. 6(1. per gallon, to the extent of about 150 pun cheons. COFFER.—The market for Plantation is dull, and at yesterday's public sale of 12(1 .. casks of Jamaica, prices rather receded, but the bulk of what was offered consisted principally of mixed ordinary qua lities, which' are the least saleable, the better sorts realizing steady rates. Foreign is without inquiry, and in Cocoa, Pimento, or Ginger, no transactions have taken place. Rica.—There are still export orders for Carolina, of which 244) casks have been taken at the late prices, middling at 175., and good at 19s. 6d. Last .1a is very dell, and no sales have been made. HIDES.—The transactions consist of 800 Brazil dry ox and cow at 71d., 500 African dry at 6d., 700 ditto salted at 4ed., 900 Russian dry at 81d., and 2,500 ditto Kips at 9d. per lb. TALLow.—In the early part of the week 3Ss. 6d. was accepted for a considerable quantity of new Yellow Candle, but the market since is firmer, and our advanced quotations are demanded. COTTON.—A fair extent of business has been done this week, and there is no alteration to notice in prices. There was but a thin attendance at the public sales yesterday, and of 1,400 bags Sea Island offered, 600 only were sold, at about id. per lb. de cline from the rates previously current. 1,500 bags of American have been taken on speculation. The import is, 5,509 bags, and the sales amount to 11,071 bags. TOBACCO.—The market has had a goad attend ance from Ireland, but scarcely any suitable appearing amongst the new Tobacco, not more than 50 to 60 hhds. have been sold, chiefly Stemmed at 41d. to 6d., a few very good butted 6d., the Leaf 3-id. to 4d. Our manufacturers have bought but little this week. For export about 100 hhds. of Virginia and Kentucky Leaf have been sold at lid, to 3id. NAVAL STORES.—Six hundred barrels American Tar have brought 17s. 6d. per barrel. A further decline of fully 6d. per cwt. has taken place in tur pentine, of which 4,250 barrels have been sold at Bs. Gd. to 10s. Gd. per cwt., as in quality. 40 casks of old American flaxseed have been sold at 38s. per hhd. Dyawoons.—There bas been scarcely a trausac- lion this week, the sales being confused to the fol lowing small lots by auction from the quay; of Log wood, 25 tons mixed Jamaica and Honduras, at 6/. .ss. to 6/. 7s. 6d.; of Fustic, 40 tons common Spa nish, at 71. 12s. 6d. to 8/. ; of Camwood, 30 tons, at 9/. 12s.

The buyers of Nicaragua Wood, of all descriptions, await the result of the large sales of common solid, announced for the 24th instant, when a considerable reduction from the present nominal currency is anticipated. The transactions in Indigo continue upon a very limited scale. MEDITERRANEAN PRODUCE.-At the-public sales of new Turkey Madder Roots yesterday, nothing whatever was done, but by private 100 double bales have been sold at 385., and a small Jot at 365. per cwt. More business has been done in Madders, but the demand still continues almost wholly for the better qualities. For Sumach there has been scarcely an inquiry, and the only sales reported are 50 bags Sicily at . 11s., and a small lot of Faro at 9s. per cwt. A further decline has been submitted to in Valonia, 260 tons Turkey having been sold from the quay at 151. 15s. to 16/. 55., and a little Morea at 1.5/. per ton. In the prices of Quercitron Bark there is no al teration, the sales being about 100 Ithds., chiefly new, on board and unseen ; and of Dutch Oak Bark 80 tons of very inferior, at 5/. 10s. per toil. OIL.-A large sale of Gallipoli Olive, not a direct shipment, has been made at 381., but for small lots 391. to 41/. continues to be obtained; 33/. 10s. has been accepted for eight tuns Spanish, and 26/. per tun for Palm. ASHES.-The sales have been limited this week, but prices remain perfectly steady.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 111 ANION-HOUSE.—Mr. Goldham, the superinten dent of Billingsgate-market, to whom the public are in debted in a great measure for the protection of their health, he being the most active enemy to kepper or sheddar salmon, or salmon or other fish in spawn, has been lately: employed in destroying vast quantities of such corrupt food. A salesman named Polack attended the Justice-room on: Wednesday, upon the complaint of the superintendent, who seized a largo quantity of salmon in spawn on his stall. Mr. Goldham declared that the fish was wholly unfit for use; that it was, in fact, dangerous to eat it. The salesman declared, that it was as good as any other salmon in the market, and tilat he could produce persons who would swear that it was wholesome food. To prove this fact, it was, however, only necessary to say, that he had himself purchased the fish of Mr. Ridpath, the extensive (healer. The LORD MAYOR said, that the subject was one of vital importance to the public, and ordered that a summons should he served upon the dealer in question, in order to have the matter cleared up, and justice done to the public. On Saturday the summoned party attended, but Mr. Polack was not in attendance, although he had assured Mr. Goldham that he would be punctual. It was not denied that the purchase of the fish had been made as was repre sented by Mr. Polack, and The Loan MAYOR said, that of course, as that salesman was not present, the case must be dismissed for that day, but the defendant must have known, es a tradesman of Bil lingsgate-market, that the salmon was not fit for use. The defendant said thLt it was such fish as was generally sold in the market. Tho LORD MAYOR said, that the general practice could not justify an illegal act. To expose such fish for sale was certainly an offence against the law. The defendant declared that the people at the fisheries send the fish to town, and those to whom it was consigned were obliged to sell it; they had no alternative. The LORD Mayon could not for an instant listen to an argument of the kind. It must be palpable enough that if the salesmen here refused to sell the unwholesome article, those employed in the fisheries would send - up no more to the market. The defendant—lt is utterly impossible that I should knew what I sell. The LORD MAYOR—Not know ? why you must know whether you sell good or bad fish, or I cannot give you credit for the knowledge of trade which, knowing you for so many years, I believed you to possess. The defendant observed that his men sometimes opened the parcels, wishing it to be inferred that he was therefore not responsible. 'fhe LORD MAYOR-The practice of selling bad fish must be done away with. You may be indicted for a misdemeanour for having sold this. Another summons must be sent to Mr. Polack. Mr. Goldham, in order to show that the blame of sell ing bad fish at Billingsgate was not attributable to those who superintended the fisheries, produced a document dated the 17th of October, 1795, and signed James Turn ' bull, stating the time appointed by law for fishing for sal mon in the river Tweed, and the penalties annexed to the offence of fishing out of season, and requesting that the Lord Mayor would enforce the penalties if fish unfit for human food were sent to the London market. This was the substance of resolutions entered into by the Association for the Protection of the Fisheries in the River Tweed, and the request was enforced by the statement that the London market could not otherwise continue to. be supplied as abundantly as before that period it had been, and there could be no adequate security for the health of the inha bitanta. The LORD Mayon. then directed that the following notice, which was drawn up at the suggestion of the super intendent, Eibould be affixed in the market:—" The Yeoman of the Waterside having been directed by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor strictly to enforce the regula tions respecting the sale of fish out of season at Billincrs gate, I do hereby give notice to the several salesmen at the said market, that such fish out of season as shall hereafter be exposed for sale at the said market will immediately be seized, and the penalties for that offence rigorously enforced, pursuant to the acts and regulations in that case made and provided. (Signed) " Jorni GOLDHAII, Yeoman." His Lottosliu , trusted that there would be no attempt to impose upon the public such food as had been described, and repeated his determination to inflict the penalty in every case most rigorously. GUILDHALL.—Joseph Henry George, Nicholas Byers, and Charles Child, were brought up for final exa mination, before Sir PETER LAURIE, on Saturday, charged with stealing a horse from Patrick Desmond, a groom out of place. At the last examination, Palmer, whose acceptance ap peared on the face of the bill for 28/. which was uttered in payment for the horse, came forward and denied that the signature, " Wm. Palmer," had been written by him ; and the prisoners were remanded, that this circumstance might be inquired into. Palmer now entered into the history of his connexion with the parties. He had the misfortune to be committed some time ago to the House of Correction for three months for an assault, and there became acquainted with a man named Sharp, who, after their liberation, invited him to the Fleet, under pretence of helping him to a job. This job was to serve notices to the creditors of a prisoner about to take the benefit of the Insolvent Debtor's Act. Sharp introduced him to Byers and George ; and upon the re presentation of his friend Sharp that Byers' affairs would be speedily settled, he was induced to put his acceptance to several bills. He had been nearly entrapped by the party into uttering a forged bill of exchange drawn by Nicholas Byers, on his brother Robert, a respectable linen-draper in East-street, Manchester-square. He was asked by Byers to get it discounted ; but, upon inquiry, Mr. Robert Byers declared that what appeared to be his acceptance had net been written by him. He therefore locked the bill up in his desk, and now produced it before the Magistrate. Witness said there were doctors, lawyers, and a reverend or two, belonging to the gang. Saunders, the officer, confirmed this statement, as far as related to Mr. Robert Byers disavowing the acceptance. This bill was for 20/. Colonel James Ormsby, of York-street, Covent-garden, applied for three bills of exchange which had been found upon Child, and which lie had intrusted to him to get dis counted, and for other purposes. There was a fourth bill drawn by L. Mordaunt, upon and accepted by the Earl of Strathmore, 13, Doughty-street, for 1001. This had been put into his hands, Child said, by a Captain Wood- . house on half pay. Colonel Ormsby spoke to the general good character of Child. He believed him to be a very honest man. ' Sir PETER LAURIE seemed to have an unfavourable opi nion of all these instruments ; but as no one had made any complaint respecting them, he restored them to the prisoner Child, to be disposed of as he pleased. Palmer being questioned by the prisoner Child, admitted he did not know him as being one of the " gang." After a variety of other charges had been made; Sir P. LA URIE announced that the charges of forgery would not be entered into, and he should commit the prisoners only for a conspiracy to defraud. Palmer was arrested in Court on one of his acceptances. Colonel Ormsby handed a letter to the Alderman, which he had received from Child, entreating him and a Captain Hipkins to come before the Magistrate and give him a character. The prisoners were committed for trial at the Middlesex Sessions, with an intimation that they must give 48 hours' notice of bail, each principal in 2001. with two sureties for 1001. eadi. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Faau D.—On Satur day G. .Avery and W. Scannell, two young Bleu of re spectable appearance, were charged With 'having obtained a valuable gold ring under fraudulent pretences. Tke ring was not forthcoming, but the evidence being conclusive against Avery, he was committed for trial. The other prisoner was discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE.—On Saturday R. Moffat was brought up for final examination, charged with being con cerned in a robbery at the residence of the Rev. George Greigs, Viucent-square, Westminster ; he was fully com mitted. MARYLEBONE.—On Saturday a young Irishman, of gentlemanly appearance, entered the office for the purpose of asking the advice of,the Magistrates how he should pro ceed to punish what he designated a gang of swindlers in the city, who had cheated him most egregiously, and after wards laughed in his face. The parties, he stated, kept a suite of offices in the n e i g hbourhood of Ludgate-bill, and bore the appearance of respectability. Th e y advertised to procure situations for young gentlemen to go to the Con tinent with s i ng l e gent l emen, & c . ; a nd the applicant, after having read one of them, proceeded to the office, where T R T aci aswN L t.h t G N e As offenceo ßDE advised N._ vas on the they demanded half-a- gu i nea , a nd promised to procure him a situation as S ecre t ary to a Chi nese merchant, which pro mise, howev er , th ey never fulfille d . l‘r. a t o gent H apply ie m a at n Guildhall, iA, applicantcommitted in the city. Saturday who stated hi mse lf to be a wholesale glass-manu f actu rer, applied to th e sitting Magistrate for advice. He had, he said, the previous evenino• received a letter from Newg ate, containing a numb er b, of threats, and couched in language by which it would appear that he, the applicant, had been a recent prosecutor. It also accused him of being a noto rious receiver of stolen glass, &c. and threatened an expo. sure. The letter was signed " John Adams ;" a name of which he had no knowledge, nor had lie appeared in th e ; situation of a prosecutor. The MAGISTRATE CORM not, interfere in the business, which was certainly singular. He had better make the circumstance known to Mr. Wontner, the Governor of Newgate. WORSHIP-STREET. -CHARGE OF EMBEZZLENIENT. —On Saturday, John Williams, a' young man very fashionably dressed, was charged with robbing his em ployer, Mr. Hopkins, of High-street, Shoreditch, linen draper. The prisoner, by the advice of his attorney, declined saying any thing at present. He was then remanded for another examination. UNION-HALL ---BERMON osaY BURGLA RY. A youth named David Hogan, and a woman with whom he has been cohabiting, called Elizabeth Owen, were brought up for final examination ; the first charged on suspicion of having burglariously entered the dwelling of Mr. James Bowman, a bookbinder in Neckanger-street, Bermondsey, on the night of the 30th of August, and stealing there from a number of silver tea-spoons, a quantity of linen and wearing apparel, with a pier-glass and other articks.; the woman with receiving the property knowing it to be stolen. The prosecutor swore to certain articles found in the house occupied by the two prisoners, as being among those stolen.—The prisoners fully committed. Smith, a constable, said that in one week very recently, not fewer than six houses were broken open by thieves in Bermondsey palish, and property to a considerable extent was stolen. There was a regular organized band of house breakers, he believed, and to . this gang the prisoners be longed. • THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, and SHORE. HAM PNEUMATIC CONYEYANCE COMPANY. (From the Brighton Herald.) The following statement is extracted from Mr. Vallance's Reply to Mr. Ricardo, as an outline of the advantages to be derived from the appli cation of his principle of conveyance by a public company, proposed to be established under an Act of Parliament : The principle of transmission by atmos pheric pressure being incontrovertible, and its practicability having been demonstrated to the conviction ,of every one who has examined 'it, advantage may be taken of an opportunity for putting it profitably into practice, and ascertain- Lng at what rate it will be possible to go by it what proportion of expense it will save ; and whether the incalculable national benefits it ap pears to hold out can be realized, in the follow- Lug manner : cbaera , : ci a T hg l ; e bn o ut ffi : c B i a a r l s g r e th t ht t e : s f r p aor r m e smh t a h on a r ye t h a a b om o t above ra g s n o d , o o t o.l o ida O st tons of goods a r e annua ll y conveye d b y la n d more than 20,000 t ons are l an d e d on Brighton brought into Brighton from Newhaven and Lewes, besides those officially certified, 'the amount of tonnage is at the least 75,000 tins, while in the opinion of the collectors of both places the total quantity exceeds 100,000 tons. " Owing to the dangers attendant on the land ing of goods upon Brighton beach,* and to the higher price paid for such goods delivered there, it is obvious, that were a method of conveyance in operation, between that town and Shoreham, capable of reducing the present charge for car riage low enough, the whole of these goods would be delivered in the harbour at Shoreham. The principle of transmission by atmospheric pressure will effect, not only a saving in carriage equal to fifty per cent., but vessels need no longer be exposed to the danger of shipwreck on the beach at Brighton. The charge for carrying goods from Shore ham Harbour to Brighton varies from five shil lings to eight and fourpence per ton ; and those who have the largest quantity of the heaviest goods (pig-iron) consider six shillings per ton the average cost. The expence of power for moving a ton of goods from Shoreham Harbour to Brighton by atmospheric pressure will not be two-pence, and as ten-pence more will cover all the expence of transit, the mere cost of convey ance will be only one sixth of what is now paid : one shilling per ton, that is. " The principle can be executed and rendered effective between Brighton and Shoreham for 75,0001. A toll of Is. per ton, on 75,000 tons, will pay five per cent. on the total outlay; and as reducing the charge for carriage 50 per cent. will be a sufficient benefit to the public, another shilling may be imposed, making the whole toll 2s. per ton, and the return equal to a clear pro fit of ten per cent. " But, it is not from the conveyance of goods alone that profit would be derived. Were a prin ciple so extraordinary as is here adverted to, in operation between Brighton and Shoreham, cu riosity would bring persons from all parts of the kingdom to see it ; who would doubtless will ingly pay a few (say five) shillings each, to be carried from Brighton to Shoreham and back again by it, and witness the effect of the ma chinery and pneumatic apparatus at both ends. The nssids2d i a i u carriage o nl a b n e d r ofperso ns outsidewho now visit Brighton, mayexceeds 100,000 annually ; hence it be ex pected that the whole sum expended for putting the principle in practice between Brighton and Shoreham would be returned from this source alone, within a few years ; in which case each subscriber would receive back his original in vestment, while the profit accruing from the con veyance of go o d s ( w ith o ut passengers) would yield an annual bonus of ten per cent. from the completion of the work, till it was worn out : a period of perhaps half a century. " The principle nittylie- rendered effective be tween Brighton and London for 500,000 / ., so as to bring these two places nearer together (in p ar o e in n t oowf. time)Th The number much of more passengerstl half from il than they i e Metropolis to Brighton, has been stated to ex ceed even now, 1 0 0 , 000 annually ; and allowing f o r those who retur nteo,npt3ad of mayogo goods nb ; se whichc including oi,oo t visitors from other parts of the coast and the contianae:nul a r continent, th e by estimated omootoo amount independent actually eopueid passage only. Th e present f are ( averag i ng passengers) is 15s. each. Now, if persons can be conveyed in half, or one• fourth the time, without the possibility of being overturned, and in incidental pe to r . fe c c o t safety fromaciiconvcy other conveyance, e ac cidents :with greater certainty and convenience,t besides having no road expences to pay, it will not be ne * " On an average of five years six vessels have been annually wrecked on Brighton Beach ; the danger of which renders coals landed there several shillings per chaldron dearer than if delivered in the Harbour at Shoreham. Since this letter was sent to press, two ships have been knocked to pieces. t "!Should it be wished, day light might also be ad mitted into the cylinder through its whole course. But as it must necessarily be lighted with gas during half the twenty-four hours ;—as providing for the admission of day light would be incurring considerable expence, for a pur vase, which the provisions that must unavoidably be made for gas .aight, would equally well answer;--and as the little time a journey of one hundred miles might take up, would render it a matter of indifference, whether we were, during that period, cheered by natural or artificial light, it is ex pected that arrangements to admit the light of day will b e seen unnecessary, "w —lnsular Defence. cessary to seduce the present charge for con veyance. Thus, 200,000 persons, at 15s. each, would be equal to an aggregate return of 150,0001. per annum. The expence of power to convey 300 peo ple and 50 tons of goods from London to Brigh ton and back every day in the year, in one-fourth the time it now takes to travel that distance, will not exceed 201. per day, or 7,3001. per annum. Allowing 25,0001. for expences, this will leave a profit of 25 per cent. on the cost of putting the principle in operation from Brighton to London, considering the existing traffic only between those places. But it must be evident to every one, that were means adopted by which the space se parating the metropolis from the coast, could be passed over as rapidly as this principle will ad roit, and the latter eventually brought within, perhaps, less than an hour of the other, the pre sent traffic would be increased in proportion no one can estimate ; and the value of each 100/. share enhanced in a corresponding proportion. " Therefore, to secure to those who advance the amount necessary for the first trial between Brighton arid Shoreham every possible advantage as original subscribers, it may be proposed to establish the Company, not with reference to Brighton and Shoreham only, but to reserve in the Act of Parliament for that object, a right of putting the principle in practice between Brighton and London also, provided the result of the ex periment to ,Shoreham should he sufficiently sa tisfactory, to justify the prosecution of the prin ciple to the metropolis. Instead, therefore, of consisting of only com paratively a few shares of 1002. each, the capital for the first object may be divided. into 15,00 0 shares, of 71. 10s. each, with liberty t o ,e very holder of a share to increase his subscription to 1001. per share, should he think proper, on the completion of the work to Shoreham, to co operate in a second undertaking to London. But that every subscriber may feel certain that he cannot be called upon for more than the original amount of his subscription, namely 71. 10s. per share, except by his own consent, the Act may most fully and expressly provide, that no person who has become a shareholder for the first object, shall be liable to be called upon for the second, until the result of the trial to Shore ham shall be known ; and that he has expressed his assent in writing, to render himself liable to the further sum of 921. 10s. per share, w hich may then be required, to extend the line front Brighton to London. But previous to obtain ing such Act of Parliament, no subscriber will be required to pay more than the odd ten shil lings per share, which sum may be considered the first deposit to be paid unto the bankers, and in the names of the trustees, (hereafter to be de' Glared ) to defray the cost of such Act, to be ar, plied for in the next Session of Parliament, and o ris th k er e n an ee n e o s t sa e r x y ce e e x d pe 7 n l e . e l s o p s r . e p p e a r ra s t i o la ry re to a th s e um con : : l l i mencementof the first oobjt be ect. con T si h d u e s re e a extreme very inconsiderabl e , t h at even were i t ent i r ely , thrown away, it could n loss ; while there is, every reason to believe it will not only return itself in a few years from the completion of the work between Brighton 5 03 Shoreham, but yield a bonus of ten per cent. es long as it lasts. " But supposing the experiment to Shore' ham were to fail altogether as regards pneumatic transmission, the tunnel would still be efficient as a rail road ; on which either horses or loco' motive engines may be employed to draw goods faster and cheaper than on any other rail road so that it impossible the money can be lost , ° i f the investment prove otherwise than perma nently advantageous. PNEUMATIC CONVEYANCE TO HAM.—Every day advances one step nearer t° a practical confirmation of the opinion we he l l uniformly expressed in favour of this import o % invention. l'he survey of the line propose d) nearly finished, reducing the present distsOrt. nearly one-third, and we insert in another lA, of our paper a statement showing some • of advantages to be derived from this undertakiog; We are only astonished that those who have lif e even examined the practical illustration of the principle, or comprehended the subject, eho u presume to talk about " general bearings," a% deny the practicability, especially after every ‘ 3ll c who has witnessed and experienced its etr e a (without a single exception) admits it to be 10 substantially proved ; and the highest seien ti authorities of the age confirm it to the fullest °r; tent. Seeing these things, we confess t he does appear a precipitancy of judgment in su ., denials wholly irreconcileable with common di e cretion.
