He ----- prefaced the presentati of the Bill by Aperse-des motifs, in which, after observing that it was neees 'to make up for lost time on this important subject, he a e veloped the differs‘w. articles and clauses of the Bill. The length of railway svisi.,h it was proposed to take in hand at the present moment was, he said, 596 kilometres, or, one-fourth of the whole extent comprehended in the plans of the Government, and, in two years time, the re mainder would be commenced. .. The calculation of the cost to the State of its share of the expenditure was, he added, 150,000 francs per kilometre ; that of the Com panies 125,000 f., or 500,00 f. per league. The total ex pense per league is estimated by the Minister 1,200,000 f. In alluding to the mode of meeting the expenditUre, M. Teste said time deficits of 1840, 1841, and 1842, would not exceed 300 millions, to which were to be added 500 millions for the extraordinary expendi ture of public works, already ordered by the Chamber, and 400 millions for the railways, which it was intended to execute within the next 10 years. These would give a total of 1,200 millions. To meet this expenditure for the next 10 years, supposing that the seine delay be allowed for the completion of all the other public works as for the whole of the railways, M. Teste calculates upon extraordinary resources from the reserve of the sinking fund, amounting for the 10 years to 829 millions and ou the remainder of the loan to be contracted for—. 300 millions, making a total of 1,279 millions. The Minister then read the following Bill: CHAPTER 1,-Art. I.—There shall be establizbed Ps system of railroads leaving Paris, and leading to—the frontier of Belgium, by Lille and Valenciennes--to Eng. land, by a point of the coast of the channel which shall be determin e d h erea f ter to the frontier of Germany, by Strasburg—to the Mediterranean, by Lyons, Marseilles. and Cette— to the Ocean, by Bordeaux and Nantes. Art. g. —The execution of the grand lines of railway enumerated in the preceding article, shall be performed by the co-operation of the State, of the departments, and communes interested in them, and of private industry in the proportions and forms to be hereafter resolved upon. Art. 3.—lndependently of the voluntary grants which may be offered by localities, and accepted by the Go vernment, the indemnity for lands and buildings, the occupation of which may be necessary for the establish ment of railways.: and their dependencies, shall be paid to the amount of two-thirds by the departments and communes interested in them. In each department through which a railroad shalljpass the Counoil-general shall determine the amount to be chargeable upon the departmental funds ; it shall designate the communes to be called upon for payment of the surplus of the :two thirds, and fix the contingent of each according to its :interests, and its financial resources. Art. 4.—The remaining third of the indemnity, and the excavations and banking and the works of art shall be paid by the funds of the State. Art. s.—The rails, including the sand, the materiel, the expenses of working the line, and the expense of keeping up and repairing the roads, its dependencies and its materiel shall be at the charge of the companies, to which the working of the railway shall be let on lease. This lease shall be granted upon a cahier des charges (clauses and conditions), which shall fix the duration of the period and the tariff of fares. The cahiers des charges must be approved of by Royal ordonnance. Art. 6.—At the expiration of the lease, the value of the rails and of the materiel (carriages, locomotives. &c.) shall be reimbursed, according to appraisement, to the company by that which shall succeed it. Art. 7.—For the regulation of the indemnities for lands and buildings, the formalities prescribed by Arts. 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 of the la w of t h e 3d M ay, 1841, shall be dispensed with. ( The estimation of the lands and buildings, comprised in the judgment of expropria tion, shall be immediately referred to a Jury. Imme diately after the decision of the Jury, the aovernment shall be put into possession of the lands and buildings which are expropriated, on payment of the third of the amount of the indemnity to be borne by the State. Art. B.—The measures which may be necessary to con ciliate the working of the railways with the execution of the laws and regulations of customs shall be regulated by Royal ordonnance. Art 9.—The measures and arrangements necessary for the good regulation, safety, use, and preservation of the railways and their dependencies, - shill be fixed by the Government.

The day was beautifully tine on Monday, and all the Increasing crowds of people kept coining from the country and thronging into the Market-place. A large platform had beets erected in the centre of the large area, from which the speakers were to address the meeting. PRO BONO PUBLICO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN SIR,—In the month of July last, I joined a friend in a walk through Hyde Park, where I had not been for trimly years. As we proceeded, we noticed many new benches, substituted for those whi c h h a d b acks to them, ic t a thenn poorer afford and were loud in our exclamation again st t h em. The rich in their splendid equipages, indulging, on soft cushions, well padded behind to lean agz.::-st, ca n h ave no classes, id a the ea how uncomfortable t , able pedestrians, tliareey who cannot but equipages, should alike be considered. Instead of being able to recline in comparative ease, in comfortable pos tures, they are obliged to sit upright as they please, as if .they were fixed there to be stared at, and get up al most as tired as when they sit down. The Park-keepers, by the way, who have little to do throughout the day, might at least keep them clean. We continued our walk into Kensington Gardens, and noticed even there very few of the ald fashioned loung ing benches remaining. If theSe remarks should come under the observance of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, possibly they may take steps to abate the nuisance. THE LEVANT MAIL. We Lind the following naval intelligence in the Malta Chronicle, of the 3d inst.:— Her Majesty's ship Belvidere, Captain the Hon. G. Grey, ar rived on the 28th ult., from Plymouth and Leghorn, from which latter port she had an astonishingly quick passage of only 50 hours. The Oriental, contract steamer, arrived the same day. The Vesuvius arrived from Beyrout yesterday, in six days, and the Polyphemus, from Gibraltar, with the London malls of the 15th ult. This last mentioned vessel had a very boisterous passage to Gibraltar, and having been nine days at sea expended all her fuel. We have received intelligence from Beyrout to the 26th ult. The Bishop of Jerusalem, - accompanied by Colonel Rose, British Consul-general in Syria, had proceeded to Jaffa. The Weasel and Phoenix had arrived from Malta. The Scout, which left Beyrout on the 4th ult. for Cyprus, had been driven on shore on that island whilst at anchor, but got off again with some damage; she was to come to Malta to repair. The Inconstant, Phoenix, Weasel, and Hazard were lying at Beyrout. Mr. Moore, until a few months ago British consul at Beyrout, but removed by Lord Palmerston to the same post at Aleppo, has been re-appointed to Beyrout, and Mr. X W. Werry, formerly Consul at Aleppo, subsequently Acting Consul at Damascus, and afterwards appointed to succeed Mr. Moore at Beyrout, re-appointed to Aleppo. In this arrangement we believe that Lord Aberdeen has consulted the wishes of both gentlemen. It is understood that orders have come from England for the return of the Ganges, and it is expeeted site will sail in a I fortnight or three weeks. The Inflexible, bearing the flag of Rear. Admiral Lasuase, the Santi Petri, another ship of the line, and the Acheron, war steamer, took their departure from Smyrna on the Bth ult. to join the Friedland, Jemmappes, Ville de Marseille, and Genereux, ships of the line, which arrived at Vourla on the day preceding. The Calypso frigate and Diligent corvette were also at Vourla. Her Majesty's ship Talbot may shortly be looked for from Constantinople, and will, it is said, be the bearer of the long-looked-for, medals for the British seamen and marines, as a token of satisfaction on the part of the Sultan fur their gallant, brave, and 'intrepid conduct in - the--Syrian campaign. Those decorations are described as the most paltry thing imaginable, and, being struck on copper, are not of greater value than 6d. per dozen I PARTNERSHIP. --A desirable opportunity presents itself to a person who ca❑ command from ::,000/. to 4,0001., either as an ACTIVE or SLEEPING PARTNER in a WHOLESALE BININESS.

By two o'clock a crowd of about 8,000 had collected in the Market.place, round the platform, which was crowded by Alder. men, members of the Town - Council, and vast numbers of the most respectable parties in the town. DISTRESS AT PAIsLEY.— The COMMITTEE in AID of the DISTRESSED OPERATIVES at PAISLEY, have to state that since they intimated to the public that the London Subscription walla be closed on the Ist of March, they have received the following sums, which they have duly remitted ; and further Contribu. firms will be received until that date, and will then be pub lished, with a statement of the amount. Letters to be directed for the Rev. R. IL, Post-office, Pe tersham, Surrey. Lord RANCLIFFE was called to the chair by :acclamation, and briefly addressed the meeting. He urged the people to stick to gether, and go heart and hand to destroy that Ministry which had acted so base and treacherous a part towards them. He declared he sided with the Chartists in ahnost all their plans, and had all his life been the same consistent supporter of them. Amid loud cheers be declared himself in favour•of Annual Parliaments, Uni ♦ersal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Payment of Members, and no Property Qualification for Members. It was the abominable system of class legislation that had caused the infliction of the Corn.iaws and other bad laws upon the people, arid only by the re. moral of the root •f the evil could they obtain a full measure of justice. Still he was not averse to gaining by a step at a time, it he could not - get all at once, the object he desired. He would as cend the ladder step by step, and thus gain in the end all they de sired. •He also earnestly advised•this meeting to separate quietly to their hots es when this businces had conch:WV, told not by any acts of violence; or apiveaaando of exeii*rteht.lll4 ; sheta enemies the power to say they were übt worthy of that for which they so earnestly struggled.

This gate I consider ought to be in a line with Westbourne-street, and a grand circle should be formed, for the approach of the numerous carriages, equestrians, and pedestrians ; but as it is now, ladies alighting from their carriages, are obliged to walk some distance to their great inconvenience, even before they reach the clumsy heavy door, which lies in a nook, although it is ,one of the principal entrances to Kensing ton-gardens, and forms a striking contrast to the one, at the further end, which is chaste in design, and in good taste.

The advantages offered front having Victoria-gate in a line with Westbourne-street, are these :—First, that the view would not be intercepted for a long distance, almost as far as the beautiful range of buildings called Westbourne-terrace, which are now erecting ; next, for a leading thoroughfare, and a regular drive, which would be up Westbourne-street, up Oxford terrace, and continue along the New-road, as far as Upper Baker street, leading to Clarence-gate, Regent's-park, and so bringing the Parks, as near as they can be, to each other. In a short time, many of the houses in the New-road, from Oxford -terrace to Upper Baker-street, would, in all probability, be re-built, and greatly improved in their appearance.

They conceive it to be a cold and heartless mockery of the sufferings of the people, proving that men who could offer so flagrant an insult to an outraged country are mo. rally incapacitated to discharge the high functions." Mr. Alderman KNIGHT, moved the second resolution—" That this meeting is firmly of opinion,that with a Government constituted like the present, all further petitioning would be vain, and only subject the petitioners to additional insult and more aggravated in jury ; it conceives, therefore, that the salvation of the country de. pends upon the energy and unity of the people, and it hereby pledges itself to a persevering agitation until the iniquitous Corn laws are repealed."

TO PRINCIPALS of the SCHOLASTIC PROFESSION and FRIENDS of DISTRESSED AUTHORS.—The great number of Copies of the SCHOOL BOOKS published by Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS, under the several names (as Authors) of Revs. D. BLAIR, J. GOLDSMITH, and S.

Because of these facts, an earnest appeal is made in behalf of the Author whose name is attachei to only " Nature Displayed," now with a young motherless family, and destitute of common necessaries, as the Bankruptcy and Death of Sir R., Phillips have deprived him of premiums on the Copyrights equal to 126/. per annum.

The Rev. Mr. Clementson, of Horncastle, is taking Parr's Life Pills, and recommending them to all his friends. He says there is more real benefit in relieving and assisting the constitution in a Old Parr's," than any other medicine he eve took, and they have been of Essential benefit to numbers of his friends who have tried them. if I had time, and you had room for them, I could enumerate fifty cases which have com e under my observation, quite equal to the above; but the increased sale of the medicine testifies the value set upon it in this neighbourhood.

Sir, I am now in my 93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country 2d years.

The Ipswich Express mentions an accident which occurred on Monday to Captain M'Farlane of that town. The gallant officer was driving a carriage in Ipswich, when some dogs got between the horses' feet, and so greatly frightened them that they became unmanageable, and ultimately upset the carriage. The Misses M'Farlane and the servants escaped with some bruises, but the captain himself sustained a fracture of the ribs. The car riage was broken to pieces. It having been intimated to the Queen that the in hab tants of Sunning Dale, near Virginia Water, were con templating the erection of a parsonage-house in the immediate vicinity of the new church lately erected in that district, her Majesty immediately caused to be forwarded, in aid of the fund for that purpose, a donation of 301. A school for the education of the children of the poorer classes being likewise in contem plation, the Queen also presented the sum of 20/. in order to promote so desirable an object. The Havre papers mention that some more remains of bodies and pottery have been found in the Roman ruins of Etretat. It is supposed that they were deposited there dur ing the decline of the Empire, on the site of an older esta blishment. The bark of' the Linden-tree is a great article of commerce in Russia, whore it Is used to make mats, baskets of all kinds, bags, slippers, and other things, ansl also for thatch ing. The trade is carried on to a considerable extent, through out the North East of European Russia, from the Ousha and the Wetugt to Kama , where the lindens grow it) great abun dance, but do not thrive without the shelter of other trees. It is calculated that upwards of 14,000,000 mats are made an nually in Russia, requiring 1,000,000 of trees to be stripped, and creating a traffic to the amount of, at least, 3,00,000 01 silver roubles, or more than 12,000,000 f. Sir,—The present duty on the Importation of barley is lBs. 4d. Now, either the imposition of that duty is a farce, or the home. barley-grower has protection to that amount. We have a right to presume that the latter is the case, else why should the landowners impose and sustain the duty ? Let us see, then, to what extent the people might relieve themselves from a landlord-Imposed tax were they to follow the advice given by Mr. O'Connell, the Rev.T.Spencer, and other speakers, including myself, at the Crown and Anchor meetings, and abstain from the usv of ale, porter, and spirits, brewed or distilled from home.grown barley. The quantity of barley malted per annum is abaut seven millions of quarters, so that, taking the present duty as the amount of pro. tection, the ale and spirit consumers are paying directly into the landowners' pockets no ►ess a sum than 6,000,0001. a year. In addition to this landlord-exacted tax, they pay, to a Govern. ment adverse to the repeal of the Corn-law, in the shape of malt tax and duties on British spirits, about 9,000,000/, inure, making in all a oontribution to the landlords and the State, something near the enormous sum of 15,000,000/. per annum ! In the month of November last a number of respectable gentle. men us Manchester, looking at this great amount of voluntarily. incurred taxation, and thinking also that while there was a scarcity of bread in the boUttry tkry ought not to drink the poor man's loett; resolved that they would consume notking brewed or distilled front homegrown barley. In endeavouring, however, to induce the working classes to join In this " self.denying ordinance," they were met by this objection—" Oh, it is all very easy for you gentlemen, who can afford to buy foreign wines and brandies, to abstain from drinking the produce of English barley ; but we, if we give up ale and gin, must give up all." This was felt to be so stong an objec. tion, that is was resolved to include foreign wines and spirits in the abstinence list, so that the society now makes war upon about 12,000,0001. of Government taxation, and 6,000,0001. of landlord taxation, repealing, so far as they are concerned, the malt tax, and all the wine and spirit duties. Bentham has truly said that the only way to obtain justice for the oppressed many, is to make the ruling few uneasy ; and I know nothing which would make them more uneasy, than a determina tion on the part of the people not to incur so enormous an amount of voluntary taxation for articles which, from my own experience, I can declare to be unnecessary to the sustainment of health. Were they to shift from their shoulders there indirect taxes, there would arise a necessity to impose new and direct burthens, of which the landowners would be compelled to bear their fair share ; and they would thus be driven to consent to those further reforms necessary to the introduction of economy into the public expenditure. The temperance men are already in the field and producing most beneficial efforts on the community. Their may be an en. larged movement with additional motives. Let the Corn.law re. pealers join them till the Corn and Provision-laws be repealed. Let the Complete Suffrage Advocates join them, with Joseph Sturge at their head, till representation be co.extenslve with taxation. Let the Chartists follow the advice given to the Radicals of 1819, by Henry Hunt, and join the " teetotallers " till the Charter become the law of the land. If Corn.law repeal be desirable—if Complete Suffrage be de. sirable—if the Charter be desirable —let there be some self-denial to obtain them, and the self.dedial is not much merely to abstain from all hab'ttial use of articles which is often injurious to health and morals, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred quite un necessary. ARCHIBALD PRENTICE. London Coffee-house, Feb. 14, 1832. MEXICO AND - THE - I"EXIAN PRISONERS. We are informed by a friend who has letters from the City of Mexico to the I tith of December, that at that time General Santa Anna, the Provisional President of the Republic, was dangerously ill of dysentery. The Texian prisoners of war were on their march to the capital. Three of them tired on the road, just beyond Chi huahua, and could proceed no farther, when the Captain of the Guard who escorted then, as soon as the fact was reported to him, had them shot. This cold-blooded act of barbarism, it is repre sented, had exc;ted the indignation of all classes of the community, even in Mexico. A constituent Congress of the nation bad been called by Santa Anna, to a'semble in the city of Mexico on the Ist of June, of the present year, for the formation of a new Constitution; in which Congress all the Departments (including Texas) were to be repre. sented in the ratio of one deputy to every 70,000 inhabitants. The population of each department is stated in the decree of the President, based upon an estimate of the national institute of geo. graphy and statistics, and is made to amount, in the aggregate, to 7,044,140. The population of Texas is stated at 27,800.—Rich. mood Compiler. The proposal of laying a tax of 3s: oh the iniporta lion of wheat from the Mite.] States into Canada is universally condemned as an impolitic and ill considered proposition. In stead of impo-ing taxes on the importation of American agri cultural produce into our colonial dependencies, the sound prin.

Fox CHASE ExTaAouutriAuir.......much mirth has been excited in the little village of Temple C oom b e , Co. merset, this week by the following laughable o ccurrence.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT,) When will reason govern mankind ? Another Chartist oppositio n , and, according t o the Ch ar ti s t s , another triumph ! Triumph over what ? Aye, in deed, over w h a t ? O ver just i ce, humanity, and en lightened freedom. The wretched and the desolate, the unemployed and the poverty-stricken, the pale, wan, and dejected thousands, ye shall remain so ; there is no hope, no bright and cheering anticipations for the future; you aredoomed to mourn, and perish by the most exquisite and protracted torture—the Chartists will it ! Ye shall not be fed and employed, without it be ac companied with a vote ! If ye have not a vote, ye shall not have bread ! Wise resolve, patriotic deter mination ! Let reason examine, and sound, reflec tive impartiality decide. The Charter is a positive political question, supported and defended by one class of politicians alone. The repeal of the Corn-law is energetically demanded by, and imperatively required for, all grades of politicians. The repeal of the Corn-laws cannot impede the progress of the Charter, unless the people will be in a worse condition to prosecute their rights with a full belly instead of an empty one. As many of the League, especially the leaders, are strongly in favour of a broad extension of the suffrage, whilst the ac knowledged and accredited leader (Mr. F. O'Connor) of the Chartists, actually voted in favour of the con tinuation of the Bread-tax, writes in its support now, and would again, if he had the opportunity, vote for the perpetuation of that unholy law. How, then, can the repealers join him ? As well coalesce with the aristocratic bread-taxing Buckingham as support the democratic (?) bread-taxer O'Connor! A food-taxing Chartist is equally as obnoxi ous to a Corn-law Repealer as a bread-taxing of on monopo ly, asters as the noted Bernard Cavanagh. The su ff rage w ill t T m o d ry o % nly T fi h t e3 t ' o are leg itshl ate e S fi i an.mseusc ebvoluntary twins never be obtained by practising rude violence towards the middle classes. Every Chartist who sincerely wishes for a repeal ought to aid, or at least not thwart, the present gigantic strug gle for the mighty accomplishment of that desirable consummation. Let the Chartists remember, that that man (11. Hunt), whose memory they revere, invariably had written upon his banne r , i n i mmense letters, "No Corn-laws." Let them recollect that that was the rallying mott o upon t h e bl oo d- sta i ne d Peterloo, for which their intrepid leaders were incarcerated, their friends cruelly wounded, and their relatives brutally and savagely murdered ? Let them reflect .and never forget, that the Corn-laws have been obtained by their blood, and are now maintained by their famine rulers at the expense of a total anni hilation of commerce, and the consequent heart sickening poverty of England's hardy and industrious sons. Let unity prevail, and all those hearts that are now sad and desponding will be happy and joyous; the tear of anguish will give place to the smile of con tentment, the hitter complaint of perishing thousands will cease, industry and employment revive, the starving widow will bless, the orphan rejoice, and millions of grateful human beings pour out their prayers and thanksgivings for this God-like change. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Disc, NORFOLK —The AhnualDinner of this popular Society took place at the Crown Commercial Inn, on Tuesday se'nnight, under the able Presidency of Mr. Thomas Farrow, wl ose urbanity of manners and gentlemanly deportment in the discharge of the Important duties devolving upon him, added greatly to the hilarity and pleasure of the evening. The usual Nyal toasts were drank with enthusiasm ; these were responded to by the amateur glee. singers connected with the Society, who enlivened the meeting with numerous glees, &c., which were chastely and admirably sung. Seversil overtures were executed with much spirit and pre. oision and the appropriate solo singing of some of the members elicited much applause. The meeting was favoured with the company of s-veral of the leading gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, who expressed themselves highly pleased with the evening's entertainment. Additional members were proposed, and the Society is steadily gaining ground in the wishes of all the true friends of harmony. The dinner, consisting of almost every deli. cacy of the season, was served up by Mr. and Mrs. Wintrup in their usual excellent manner; the dessert was choice and abun. dant ; the wines exquisite; and the entire management reflected great credit upon the worthy host and hostess, and showed they still maintain the character of being good caterers for the comfort of their vlsiters. A practical opinion on Sir Robert Peel's proposi tion respecting the Corn-laws is contained in the c►rcular of Messrs. Kingsford and Lay, an eminent firm on the Corn Ex change. They state their belief to be, that the plan will not produce any sudden or extensive alteration in price, but ap pears to give more confidence to the holders of free wheat, while it will not, if an advance can be maintained, operate prejudicially to the importers of bonded wheat at present, bearing in mind the defective crop of 1841. The ultimate operation of the measure will, in their opinion, be to make the continental prices low. It will not be safe to purchase there, they consider, without calculating on the wheat being subject to a duty of at least 14s, on entering for home consumption, and as there will lie no longer the same inducement to hold back for "the lowest rate, the importers will prefer paying the current duty and selling ex ship, t.) incurring the expenses of landing. The average prices, they predict, will range between 50s : and 60s. ; so that importers will not often have an opportunity to vail themselves of the minimum duty.— Times , BETHNAL-GREEN,—At a meeting of the Detn nal.green Anti-Corn-law Association, held on Monday evening, at the White Hart, Bethnal-green-road, after a warm discussion on jr R.

(PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The people of Hanley and Shelton, in the Potteries, by way of showing their indignation at the cruel insult ofibred them by Sir Robert Peel's mock measure of "awful importance," relative to an alteration in the Corn.laws, yesterday paraded his effigy through the principal streets of these townships, with drum and fife, amidst the curses and execrations of thousands, who pelted him right well with mud and stones; discharged thirty or forty pistol shots at him, and set fire to him, amidst the groaning and hooting of an exasperated host of suffbrers from the cruel operation of these wicked laws. Even Tories are woefully disappointed with this " awful measure," and do not hesitate to express their detestation of its authors. THE LATE SIR ALEXANDER BURNES. The late insurrection in Cabool has deprived the East of one of its best soldiers, and the literary world of one of its chiefest ornaments. The particulars of Sir Alexander's melancholy fate are not at present clear ; the only certaic fact is that he was killed along with eight other officers, of whom his brother was one, on the 2d or 3d of November last. By placing in chronological order the events of his life, the natural activity of his mind, and the steps of his premotion will be best seen : Mr. Burnes was born at Montrose, in Scotland, May 16, 1805, and greatly distinguished himself at the Academy of that place ; and from hence o bt a i ne d t h e appointment of Cadet for the Bombay army, and arrived at the Presidency on the 31st of October, 1821. Dec. 25:1822;LAppointed Interpreter in the Hindostanee language to the Ist extra battalion at Surat, and was employed by the Judges of the Budder Adawlut to translate the Persian documents of that Court. 1825.—With his Regiment the 21st Native Infantry, he was ordered to Booj, and acted in the disturbances which took place at Cutch, and was appointed Quarter master of Brigade. At this time he was only 20 years of age. In the November of the same year, he was appointed Persian Interpreter to a force of 8,000 men, assembled for the invasion of Scinde. 1827. —Mr. Burnes drew up a valuable paper on the statis tics of %gar, which highly pleased the Indian Government. A memoir of the eastern mouth of the Indus, also met with great notice. 1829.—Appointed to act with the survey of the north western frontier of Cutch ; an account of which may be seen in the transactions of the Royal Geographical Society of London, '1834. 1830.—Lieutenant Burnes was selected to accomplny the present of horses from fhe King of England to the Maharajah Runjeet Singh, and during the journey, made a full survey of all the months of the Indus, and a map of the lower portion of its course, and of the land route to Tette, and at Loodianah first met the present King of Cabool, then living as a guest within the British territories. In the December of this year he visited,Kurnaul and Delhi, and was presented to the Great Mogul, the 15th descendant from Timour. 1832.--At the commencement of this year, Lieutenant Burnes obtained the sanction of the Governor-General to pro ceed into Central Asia. His great and admirable work was the result of this journey, and the account which he himself furnishes of it is thus expressly given : " I shall not pause to reflect on the feelings with which I again set foot in India after so long and weary ajourney. In the outset, I saw everything, both ancient and modern, to excite the interest and inflame the imagination—Bactria, Trans oxiana, Scythia, and Parthia, Kharasm, Khorasan, and Iran. We had now visited all these countries ; we had re traced the greater part of the route of the Macedonians; trodden the kingdoms of Porus and Taxiles ; sailed on the Hydaspes ; crossed the Indian Caucasus, and resided in the celebrated city of Balkh, from which Greek monarchs, far removed from the academies of Corinth and Athens, had once disseminated among mankind a knowledge of the arts a n d sciences, of, their own hi s t ory , an d t h e world. We had beheld the scenes of Alexander's wars of the rude and savage inroads of Genghis and Timour, as well as of the campaigns and revel ries of Baler, as given in the delightful and glowing language of his commentaries. In the journey to the coast we had marched on the very line of route by which Alexander had pur sued Darius ; while the voyage to India took us on the coast of Mekran and the track of his Admiral, Nearchus." 1833.--. After his return to India Lieutenant Burnes, accord ing to instructions, proceeded to Calcutta, from which after having received the thanks of the Governor. General, he ar rived in London in the October of this year, and his reception at the India House was most flattering. On the 30th of December he was introduced at Court, and received the special acknowledgments of tLe King for the unpublished map and memoir he had presented to his Majesty. Ihe success of this work for a book of travels was unrivalled. Mr. Murray gave the author 8001. for the copyright of the first edition, and nearly 900 copies were sold off in a single day, and it was imme diately translated into French and German. 1834.—1 n the May of this year, Lieutenant Burnes received from the Royal Geographical Society the fourth Royal pre mium of 50 guineas, for his " Navigation of the River Indus," and " A Journey to ilalkh and Bokhara across Central Asia." 1835.—At a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society on Feb. 21, Earl of Munster, Viee-President, Lieutenant Burnes was elected an honorary member, for having "fixed with accu racy the position of Bokhara and Balkh, and the great Hima layan mountains, and having done more to the construction of a map of those countries than had been done since Alexander the Great." On this occasion he was complimented by Sir Alexander J o h ns t one f or h av i ng almost ascertained a con tinuous route and link of commun i cat i on between Western Asia and the Caspian S ea , as a l so f or hi s excellent diplomatic arrangements with the Ameers of Scinde. The museum et the Royal Asiatic Society also contains the Bokhara eloak worn by him in his travels in the Punjaub. Ap r il 4.—After remaining eighteen mouths- in England, Lieutenant Burnes at thi s d a t e returned to India, wh ere h e arrived on the Ist of Ju ne . O n his arrival at B om b ay, Lieu tenant Burnes resumed th e d ut i es of assistant to the Resi dent at Cut t , Colonel Patinger ; an d s h ortly after in ac :,wdment of his diplomatic and other services, was Knighted, and advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. 1839,..-Sir Alexander Burne s , on tiss final restoration of the Shah Soojah, was appointed political Resident at Cabool with a salary o f 3,0 001. a year. Ilia broth er , Li eutenant Burnes , obtained his appointment of k Cadet on the Bombay establish ment, chiefly as a cornpli.mant to Sir Alexander's greatservices. .UMAER OF TEETOTALLRRS IN IRELAND. ,rty the accidental omission n two eiphers in the figures given by Mr. O'Connell cm Saturdiy, as the number of teetotallers in Irel an d, th e appeared to be thousa nds. where** the Lord Mayarot • said that the last ticket he saw signed by Father Mathew was marked FIVE MILLIONS, TWO THOUSAND. SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWO. At least 10,000 more have taken the pledge since the date of that ticket. A fire broke out in the bureau of the Maritime Prefect at l' Orient, a few nights since, and rapidly communicated to the Library of the Arsenal. Assistance was given as promptly as circumstances would allow, but the Library, con taining about 9,000 volumes, was totally destroyed. Some manuscripts of value and nearly all the archives were burnt. The Municipal Council of Nantes has voted the erection of a monument to the memory of General Canibronne. - . Art. 13.—A sum of fifteen hundred thousand francs is apropriated to the completion of the plans and surveys of the great lines of railways, defined by art. 1 of the pre sent law. Art. 14.—0 n the appropriations mentioned in the preceding articles, amounting together to one hundred and two million five hundred thousand francs, there.is opened to the Minister of Public Works on the estimates of the year 1842 a credit of eleven millions—viz. for the railroad from Paris to the Belgian frontier, four mil lions ; for the portions of the railroad from Paris to the Mediterranean, between Dijon and Chalons, and be tween Marseilles, Avignon, and Beaucaire, four mil lions ; for the portion'of the railway from Paris to the ocean, between Orleans and Tours, two Milli o nS ; f or the continuation of the plan s and surveys, one million. And upon the estimates of 1843 a credit of twenty-two millions five hundred thousand francs, viz., Paris to 'the Belgian frontier, eight millions ; Paris to the Mediter ranean, eight millions ; Paris to the ocean, kix millions ; and for the continuation of the surveys and plans, five hundred thotuand francs—total for 1842 and 1843, 25,500,000 francs. " CitAPTEn 3.—WATs AND MEANS.—Art; 15. The portion of the expenditure, authorised by the present law, which is to fall upon the State, shall be provided for provisionally out of the resources of the floating debt ; the advances of the Treasury shall be definitively covered by the consolidation of the funds of reserve of the sinking fund, which may be disposable after the, extinction of the deficits of the budget of 1840, 1341, and 1842. " CHAPTER 4.—Art. 16. Every year there sbull be rendered to the Chamber, by the Minister of Public Works, a special account of the works executed by vir tue of the present law." The Minister said that the average cost of one-third of the ground, of embankments and works of art, of all, in fact, that Government undertook, would not exceed 24,0001. the league. Supposing the whole of the in tended lines to reach 600 leagues, this would be an ex pense to the Treasury of from 360 to 400 millions of francs. This would be adding 400 millions to the 360 millions deficit, and the 500 millions for extraordinary public works, making in all 1,200 millions to meet. The Minister observed that this might be done, The part of the State being estimated at 24,000/. the league, the funds to be furnished by productive industry would be abOut 20,000/. a league. • ON THE LAWS OF MARRIAGE. (From the Congregational Magazine.) As an effort is to be made at the ensuing Session of Parliament for an alteration in the law on this subject, it becomes important that the people should understandi the matter. From an article signed " Rusticus" that tip peered in your Magazine of this month, it seems that your correspondent supposes that the Marriage Act: of 1835 prohibits the widower from marrying the sister of his deceased wife. Now all that the Act of 1135 says to justify such a conclusion is, " that all marriages which shall hereafter be celebrated between perstins within the prohibited degrees of affinity shall he absolutely null and void," but what these " prohibited degrees" are, the Act says nothing, and we are, therefore left to construe the legal interpretation of these words from the state of the law as it was prior to this Act. Persons seem ge• nerally to have supposed that the law on this subject is laid down in the tables published in the Church of Eno.-- land Prayer-books, and some Bibles, beginning with "A man shall not marry his grandmother," &c. But this is only what is called the canon law, and this tabled. prc:_ Minted degrees forms part of the canons of 160.3. .ow Lord Hardwicke, in delivering the judgment of tilts 'wh o l e Court of King's Bench, in 1736, respecting these. canons, decided, that not having been confirmed by they do not bind the laity. The principle: On which he founds his decision is this:—These canons arc passed in an assembly of the clergy and offieersP7f the Established Church, sanction e d by the King 9's th e h ea d o f the Church, but it is not ivasonable or lawful that the people should be bound by au authority which does not repre sent them, so that the only legf,l interpretation we can obtain as to what are the " F- 0 1,ibited degrees" is to be derived from the previous Ac,cs o f Parliament on the sub ject. It is greatly to be regretted that these Acts aro in such a confused state, t',ltit it becomes very difficult to say what the laW is 'on the subject. About 1534 Henry VIII. got a Marfiage Act passed, containing thulium prohibitions t 9.. those in the canon law ; but this was with a view to :,ustify his divorce from his brother's widow, and his 'marriage with Anne Boleyn. Afterwards, how ever, his daughter Mary, whose legitimacy was thereby affc.ated, got all these prohibitions repealed ; the Act declaring that Henry's marriage with Catherine (her mother) was a lawful marriage in accordance with God's law and his Holy Word. Indeed, Henry himself; who seems to have got his obsequious Parliament to, enact and repeal whatever suited his fancy, or was agreeable to his wife at the time being, about 1543, got the Act 32, Henry VIII., c. 38, passed, which declares all marriages to be lawful not prohibited by' God's law, and that notwithstanding any law to the con trary, no prohibition (God's law except) shall impeadu any marriage without the Levitical degrees. This is now in force, the part respecting prohibitions having • been confirmed both in the reigns of his son Edward, and his daughter Elizabeth ; so that the legal construction of " prohibited degrees" appears to be those prohibited in. Leviticus, and in order to help us to decide what thou, are, the statute of Mary informs us that Henry's mar riage with his brother's widow was a lawful one. It is true that lawyers seem generally to think that if,ihe question as to the legality of a widower's marriage 'with his late wife's sister in England were to come befc, s e our courts of law, it would be decided against .the VegalitX but it is quite uncertain, awl if this be the law., it ifttir for the'poor—not for the r i c h—f or if a coupk., Otkit A n in ra to travel to a no th er country w h ere so ahstr not prevail, and bec ome d om i c il e d ( as it ii 4 s LI there be m arr i e d accor di ng to t h e l aw 0e 1 re/ft a high l ega l au th or i ty un h es i tat i ng ly.', A y s ', t the Engli s h C our t s wou ld b e bound tc. recoginze the mar riageraslin ; and it i s a remar kable circw.ostaaae, ‘ i . down tint that there is hardly another country in the would, professedly Chris tian, where there is any • it at all about a W id ower marryin his late wife's sister. that the vs` lue o f th e j ewellery, col lected in the woo? shops of tke Palais R o y a l , is 10,000,000 f..
