G RAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY. CAPITAL TO BE RAISED 150,000/. In 6,000 Shares of 25!. each.—Deposit 2/. 103. per Share. PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE. George Carter, Esq. John Moxon, Esq. Alfred Alers Hankey, Esq. - George Palmer ' Esq. John Harman, Esq. Poynder, Esq. Samuel Mills, Esq. Robert Sutton, Esq. • With power to add to their number. BANKERS—Messrs. Hani:ey and Co., London ; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co., London ; Messrs. D. H. Day and Sons, Rochester. ENGINZkit—J. U. Rastrick, Esq., F. R.S. SOLICITORS—Memos, Sweet, Sutton, Evans, and Ommanney. The object of this Company is to connect Gravesend with &rood, Rochester, Brompton, and Chatham, by converting the Thames anti Medway Canal into a Railway ; with the exception of a short distance, where it is proposed to deviate to avoid a curve upon the Canal. The Proprietors of the Canal, at a meeting specially con vened for the purpose, have unanimously resolved upon the ex pediency of this conversion, and to accept Shares in the Rail way in lieu of the present Shares in the Canal, at the rate of one Share in the Railway for five Shares in the Canal. It is also proposed that the Folders of Loan Notes of the Canal Company should convert them into Shares in the Rail way, by accepting four Railway Shares in exchange for every WO/. Loan Note, sinking the arrears of interest ; and upwards of three-fourths of such Loan Note Holders have already agreed so to do.) The cost of making the Railway, including Land, Stations, Engines, Carriages, and Working Stock, is estimated at 117,115/. ; but in order to meet every contingency, it is pro posed to raise 150,000/. by the issue of 6.000 shares of 25/. each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 10s. per share is to be made. The subscribers to the 150,000/. are to be entitled to in terest at 5/. per cent. per annum upon the amount of their Deposits and Calls, until the opening of the Railway, and from that time they are to have a preference of receiving interest at the same rate, out of the profits of the under taking, before any dividend is paid to the other Proprie tors, until the expiration of twelve months, when they are to have the option of continuing to receive five per cent. per annum, or of sharing the profits in common with the other Proprietor.. Great pains have been taken to ascertain the amount of traffic between Gravesend and Rochester, and the result is far beyond what was contemplated ; for even at this season of the year the average has been considerably above one thousand persons daily, and there can be no doubt but that during the summer months that amount will be very greatly increased. The number of Passengers landed and embarked on the Piers at Gravesend, between the Ist of August, 1840, and the Ist of August, Id4l, was 963,650 ; and as the above traffic bet Ween Gravesend and Rochester was taken at a season of the year when but c , ml,arativelv few persons travel between London and Gravesend, it may i'airly be presumed that a great portion of such traffic is local, and independent of the Steam-host Passengers. The present fare by coaches and omnibuses between Graves end and Rochester va:ies from one to two shillings. brow the foregoing statement of traffic, it is estimated that there will be at least 750.000 Passengers annually conveyed uptin this Railway, producing, according to a moderate calcu lation, 343,2501., to which may be added 1,250/. for goods, parcels, &c. ; thus making the total receipts 37,500/. From thissum is to be deducted 30 per cent., or 11,350/. for the working expenses of the Line, as stated in Mr. Rastrick's Report, say 13,5001. ; thus leaving a net annual -revenue of 24,19001., which is equal to 8 per cent. upon an - assumed Capita of 300,0001. There will also be a revenue of at least 9501. per annum. arising from that part of the existing property of the Canal Company which will remain undisturbed. 'lbis estimate is founded open merely doubling the existing traffic; whereas the result of almost every other Line'of Rail way would justify a much larger increase. The Provisional Committee have submitted the plan of this Railway to Mr. Rastrick, who has reported most favourably upon it, and the following are the-principal points adverted to by hisn Ist. That the cost of the line, including the land to be pur chased, will be .105,113/., and.that the locomotive engines, car riaees, and trucks, will be MOM., making the total cost 117,1131.. or in round numbers 1 . 40,000/. 2d. hat a welt-IsnOwn Contractor has offered to complete the works within nine month.: at this estimate, and find good securities for heir due performance. 3d. That the line is a dead level, requiring only such undo. lation, as will secure ' perfect drainage. 4th. That from the manner in which it is proposed to con struct the engines, there will be a great saving in wear and tear, and an extra carriage can always be taken by every train. Lth. That the working expenses of the line will be under 30 per cent. . • 6th. That there can be no uncertainty as to the nature of the soil. 7th. That there can be no siips or settlements to endanger the working of the line, :s it will be effectually secured in its place by the sides of the present canal. being on comparatively solid Bth. That.the permanent way ground, will be maintained at the minimum expense. • 9th. That the stations being situate on the banks of the rivers Thames and Medway, coal, coke, and other materials can be brought by water carriage, and delivered upon the very spot where they will be stored for use. .Thus it w ill b e seen , th a t t h e propose d un d ertak i ng has a dvantages which are n o t po:sessed by any other Rail wa y, an d such as cannot fail to make. it a safe investment for Capital. f It is i ntended to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session o r power to tarry the above undertaking into effect, and such Shareholders in the Thames and Midway Canal Company as are desirou s of taking ~.har e z , in the q uested to signiiv their further Capital are m in:eu;:ion hum . ediate:y.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1842. By the arrival of the packet-ship Cambridge, Captain BARSTOW, at Liverpool yesterday even ing, we have received New 'York papers to the 4th inst., being four days later than the last arri val from that city. The Ist being New Year's Day, was observed as a holiday, and on the 2d (Sunday) little or no business was done. On the 3d, business transactions were rather brisk, pre paratory to the sailing of the packet. The year just closed had been very far from a prosperous one for the commercialists of the United States. Brightand cheering were the prospects with which the American journals ushered in the year 1841. The banks in Philadelphia had declared their in tention of resuming specie payments, and four teen days subsequently did actually resume them. The banks of Baltiinore and Virginia, and those of the South and West, were expected to follow the example of Philadelphia; instead of which they resolved not to resume, and thus the whole banking systein was thrown into a state of inextricable confusion. The Phila delphia banks could not stand alone, and thus the entire currency of the country at homebecanie deranged to the ma t er i a l i n j ury of the national credit abroad. To remedy these evils a Bank Bill was prepared, but when it was about to pass Congress, President HARRISON died, and his successor President TYLER, thought proper to veto to it, and thus leave matters as they stood. Congress is now assembled, but there are few indications that much good will be done this year. The amendments proposed in the Constitution, and the right of search question, are dwelt more upon than the monetary affairs of the Union. The currency is in , a deplorable condi tion, and some States are without a currency at all. Stocks of all kinds have Eillen within the year to a ruinous extent. As compared with the 31st of December, 1840, the 31st of December, 1841, exhibits a decline of 25 per cent. in Pen sylvania Stocks, 27 in Ohio, 57 in Illinois Bonds, 57 in Indiana, 34 in American Exchange Bank, 44 in United States Bank, 34 in Mechanics ditto, 60 in Farmers' Trust ditto, 65 in Illinois State ditto, and so on of all other descriptions of American domestic stocks. Much of this evil is attributable to the influence of newspapers opposed to the credit system; bift the system must have been unsound Nvh MI fell before the attacks of BENNETT's He raid, notwithstanding their quotation by the London press. There is one piece of information brought by these Journals, which is calculated to encourage a hope that something will be done by the Legis lature to settle the currency question. It is this:—there is not• money in the State coffers to pay the wages of the members of Congress. Now, although the members of Congress might bear with tolerable equanimity the empty cof fers of other people, they will not exhibit any surprising indifference to the state of their own. Congress is composed of men by no means indif ferent to their own interests. On the 81st ult., a steamer went down to tilt quaiantine ground, New York, to receive the luggage of Sir Ch ARLES BAGOT, Governor:Gene mai of Canada, on board the Illustri• Jus , 74 forty-two tons of luggage were lioi.sterl on board, including two carriages. The T:ilustrious saluted the United States flag with treenty-one guns, and it was not till the officers went on shore that they learned that the Prince of WALES was born, whose health was quaffed in many a bumper. The New Yorkers received the British officers with great courtesy, and several entertainments were spoken of as intended to be given to them. Among the first to visit Sir CHARLES BAGOT was Lord MORPETH. The cgptur e o g the Texan Santa Fe expedition by the h 9 cx ti a r E iscentirrned in these Journals. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1842.. Want of space prevents us from publishing the details to-day, but they will shortly appear in the columns of The Sun. It appears that 623 persons, members of -the University of Oxford, had given a promise to rote in favour of the Puseyite candidate for the Poetry Professorship. They constitute two-fifths of the whole promisors, and are, therefore, a fair example of the University. It is worthy of notice that night after night the Ultra-Protestant and Tory Standard, which must be considered good authority on this subject, has described the whole of the Puseyites as men in whom no trust could be placed; and only last night it said sneeringly it would be sorry to pledge itself that the friends Of Mr. WILLIAMS would keep faith. That Journal has professed an opinion throughout that the morality of the 623 is of the lowest and most des picable description, and its testimony to the cha- racter of Oxford men we can assure it shall no be lost to the world. We receive and guard it with satisfaction, as a confirmation of our repeated assertion that the education at Oxford teaches a disregard of a man's word, and even of more solemn obligations. The contest which has elicited from the Standard such an unusual quantity of truth, is at an end for the moment. The Puseyite can didate is withdrawn, and the candidate of the Low Church party, which, according to the Morning Post, loves ranting and spouting instead of dili gent study, and prefers hunting after vulgar popu larity to quiet prayer, is for the time to elect the Professor of P6etry. Such a conclusion only hides, not heals, the schism which rages in the Church, and divides its members in proportion of three-fifths to two-fifths. Whenever place or pelf is in question, it will show itself anew, and again give rise to those just accusations which the parties, now hurl against each other, with the same good will with which they combine to calumniate and abuse Roman Catholics and Dissenters. The organs of the Low Chureh.party boas very much of their triumph; it ought to be a mournful one, for it is obtained over their brethren. Neither is their success great. Scarcely ten years have elapsed 'since the new sect was first heard of, and it already numbers amongst its. converts some of our rising statesmen, several dignitaries of the Church, and a great number of the younger clergymen and students. More over, its chiefs are ambitious, and probably they surpass their opponents in their means of charm ing and fascinating the young mind. The two fifths will probably ere long be a majority, and then the good things of the Church will be given to the Puseyites. We doubt, however, whether they have in creased their strength, which the contest has ma nifested, by retiring from it. Their principles were attacked; the Professorship of Poetry has been taken from them, because they are dan gerous preachers, and not Protestants; and they acknowledge the justice of the accusation by not fighting to the last. Their enemies have already asserted that they prefer flesh-pots to honest faith, and their retreat gives a colour to the ac cusation. Zealous and sincere men would have re- lied on the justice of their cause; they might even have hoped, had they been a little fanatical, for a miraculous conversion on the day of election ; at least they would have shown their confidence by contending to the last, and the retreat *ill impede their success by implying the want of a sincere conviction. Truth-loving men make light of majorities, and would defy the whole world in its cause. The Puseyites have sacri ficed their principles to a majority, and they run the risk of being regarded as mere worldly minded parsons, who broach new doctrines, and lay claim to superior knowledge and sanctity, only the more effectually to clutch the good things of the Church. We do not take a particular interest in that war of etiquette which is now carrying on be tween France and Spain, though we can laugh heartily at the egregious fools who are dis puting 'as it were which shall rise from his chair first, while society is tumbling about their ears. At the same time we must notice the completely foolish view of the matter _ _ _ which is taken by our Tories, and supposed to be a justification of Louis PHILIPPE. That Monarch lately accredited his Ambassadors to the REGENT MOTHER, who held ber office by the same laws and the same title as ESPARTERO olds his. She was a foreigner, and only recognised and naturalised in Spain by the law. Louis PHILIPPE, however, now accredits his Ambassador to Spain, but not to the REGENT. He insists that M. SALVANDY shall deliver his credentials personally to the young QUEEN, not in the presence even of ESPARTERO. Ile urged no such pretension when Madame MuNoz filled the office which is now so much better filled by ESPARTERO. For this total change in his con duct, ar.d total deviation from his former course, the reason assigned by the Tory Journals is this— There is a difference between delivering credentials given by a Bourbon Sovereign, into the hands of the Bourbon :mother of an infant Queen—orphan per force —and p resenting them to a brutal soldier who holds her encaged. It may be seemly to great nations thus to state openly that their welfare, and all the precepts which guide international intercourse, are of no manner of importance compared to the family interests and feelings of such virtuous and wise people r is 3 the BOURBONS-it may be in good taste to put f:Ltnily predilections above the choice of a nation, but we submit to the Tories that the rea son the y assign for Louis PHILIPPE'S conduct leads to a very.different result from that of ac crediting. an Ambassador to Spain. If ESPAR• TERO be at brutal soldier, who holds his Sovereign encagecli--that Sovereign being a near relation of LOUD PHILIPPE, and he bound to Spain by solemn t reaties—it is at least his duty to cut off all diplo' vatic intercourse with Spain, and show that he r egards the QUEEN as a prisoner and Es- PARTER 0' as an usurper. By accrediting an Ain hassadol t• to Madrid at all, Louis PHILIPPE recog nised, as: he ought to do, the choice of tlhe Spa nish pec •Ide, and the reason assigned for his con duct is :r . mere subterfuge to throw a halo , of jus tification, around pretensions which are unjusti fiable. There is no news of any interest in the Trench Journals of Thursday. The w.Cinister of War has decreed the esta blishmen:t of libraries in all the military posts throughout Algeria. Each of them is to consist at first of between 200 and 300 volumes, treating of the art: of war, geography, history, voyages, literature-, sciences, and arts. Five of tb ose braries • c ill be opened in the chief tciwns of Bona, C( mastantine, Oran, Mascara, and Philippe ville ; an Al eleven others in the secondaory posts of Blida it, Boufarik, Bugia, Cherchell, .I)jidjeh, Guelmaht, Koleah, Medeah, Milianah, Mosta ganem, 'Lurid Setif.

His Prussian Majesty is a remarkably fine-looking man, nearly six feet high, appa rently about forty-six years of age, and he appeared in excellent h ea l t h an d sp i r i ts, an d seemed much gratified by the cordial reception he met with, the Royal • party being loudly cheered throughout their progress. Notwith standing the unfavourable state of the weather, the streets of Greenwich, the quadrangle of the Hospital, and the piers were all crowded, prin cipally by well-dressed females. From an early hour this morning the streets of Greenwich presented a most animated appear ance, parties continually pouring in by steamers, by railroad, by coach, cart, gig, and every de scription of vehicle, all eager to catch a glimpse of his Prussian Majesty, on his first setting foot on British ground. One gentleman who was near us, stated that he had come all the way up from Yorkshire, having travelled nearly 200 miles on purpose to witness the landing of his Majesty. Admission to the quadrangle of the Hospital could be procured only by ticket from the Governor. Those holding tickets were ad mitted by the eastern gate ; and the pave ment in front of the • east wing was appro priated to their use. The space at the end of that east wing was occupied exclusively by those - - connected with the Hospital, and the whole of the quadrangle was reserved for the suite of the King of Prussia and Prince Albert, and the members of her Majesty's Government. The boys of the Royal Naval School were drawn up on the steps between the Chapel and the Painted Hall. The Pensioners were drawn up around the inside of the quadrangle, and the Guard of Honour, consisting of the Royal Marines, was drawn up within the quadrangle, facing the river. At twenty minutes after one o'clock the arrival of Prince Al bert at the west gate of the Hospital was an nounced by loud cheering, and immediately his . Royal Highness, in a travelling carriage and six, accompanied by out-riders and other attendants, drove up to the Governor's resi dence, and was received by Sir Robert Stopford, at the door. Immediately on his Royal High ness entering the Hospital, the Union Jack, which had ; been previously flying over the eastern wing was struck, and the Royal Standard of England hoisted. At half after two o'clock the approach of the Firebrand was announced by trumpet, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom panied by the Duke of Wellington and his Suite, left the Governor's House, proceeding down the steps torneet his Prussian Majesty. The Governor's barge, accompanied by the Admiralty barge,then boarded the Firebrand,and his Majesty landed under a royal salute of twenty-one guns. Immediately on his appearance at the head of the stairs, the Guard of Honour presented arms, and the officers lowered the colours. All the usual honours were paid to his Ma jesty, the bands of the different Regi ments playing " _God save the Queen." His Majesty and suite then entered the Go vernor's residence, where they remained a short time ; and at three o'clock, his Majesty and the Prince left in his Royal Highness's carriage for Windsor. The Royal suite followed in other travelling car riages. Throughout the day his Royal Highness Prince Albert was received with loud cheers, whenever he made his appearance. The arrangements which were under the superintendence of Lieutenant Rivers, were admirable,' and reflect the highest cre dit on that officer; and we have to express our thanks to the officers of the Hos pital generally for their kindness and affability in affording us every accommodation in their power. MINISTERIAL PROJECTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,--It is interesting to watch the inclina tions, or as the French would call them the velleitos, of the existing administration, as dis played in their leading organ in the press. On Thursday it issues a lengthened dissertation on the merits of the rotten or nomination bo roughs, and the desirableness of restoring their; moved, no doubt, by reflection on the specimens of the results of that kind of thing, exhibited in the present House of Commons. "If ever a time shall arrive when the people under stand their own real interests, they will call for some amendment of the Reform Bill large enough to modify the monopoly which local influences at present enjoy, and to open avenues through which Parliament may again become accessible to acknowledged talent, though unconnected with any particular county, city, or borough. It is quite true that this can be done only through UM medium of some sort of nomination." • Note here, first, the wish of the government avowed, to undo the Rethrm Bill and return to the rotten boroughs; with the consequent ne cessity for a move in the-contrary direction when it can be compassed. And next, that the 'object is to - make " avenues," for more of the gifted men, with whom the House is already partially supplied from the source in question. But oddly does the subject blossom f or t h e intended fruits. The next words o f th e ministe rial oracle, are these : " A hundred seats, taken from the districts;newly en franchised by the Reform Bill, and from towns which, like Norwich and Nottingham,. and Sudbury, and Leices ter, have long been notorious for their wholesale prostitu tion of the right of voting, would go far to restore the equilibrium of th e cons tit u tion, and to redress the com plaint that the Governments of our time are not com pounded with a sufficient leaven from the untitled classes." Not a word here of " avenues." This is sim ply a proposal for cutting off a hundred seats from the popular representation. As the Ro man poet says, , c When you bega n making ?a " cream-jug, why did you end in a slop-basin Was it that you felt afraid to press the rest ? Or that, like the Irish servant in the story, you were willing to take the brandy while the rum was getting ready ? f i s t t o h soil p discharge fro m t h e i r estates. landowners are , The e keep, The next day produces a fierce invective against the ma nu fa c turers, agricultural to starve the foenot keeping the And if they d ecl i ne, t h e y - are threatened with c the vengea nce o f t h e landlords' law.

Yours very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, 22d January, 1842. S Fig PI v F s AND 'p triton. " Who runs may read." FOR,EIGN. MM. de Valmy and Thiers were the principal speakers in the French Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, on the question of the Address. Both opposed the re entrance of France into the European concert. On the 13th inst. Senor Olozaga presented to the Spanish Chathber of Deputies an address in answer to the Regent's Speech from the Throne, conceived in a spirit very flattering to the Government. The French journals having asserted that M. Gon zales had presented to the Queen the Royal Speech at the opening of the Session, and that her Majesty had handed it to the Regent, the Gazette of the .13th declares that, after the Queen had ascended the throne, the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs presented himself the speech to the Regent, without its passing through the hands of her Majesty. A letter from St. Petersburgh of the Bth of January says :—"lt is positively affirmed that the army will be considerably reduced immediately after new year. Some steps preliminary to the measure have already been taken ; the places of Commandants in several fortresses are abolished, the battalion of the reserve in the regi ments of infantry are to be broken up, &c." Letters from Nice announce the death in that town of Count Grote, formerly Hanoverian Ambassador at the French Court. The Crown Prince of Hanover has been indisposed for some days. Letters from Copenhagen of the 14th inst. says : "By a Royal resolution of 29th December, the sum of 38,000 dollars is assigned for the erection of a light-house on the Hausholm, on the north-west coast of Jutland. According to a stipulation in the treaty on the Sound Dues contracted with England, the sum of 2,900 dol lars is to be allotted annually, in the budget, to keep it up. PITELEC OPE:VTOII7. The Post, arguing upon the statement made lately by the Chronicle, that orders for woollen cloth to an im mense amount can be executed is Belgium and Prussia at a rate of 15 percent. under the rate of British manufac ture, observes that, if this be so, it is sufficient to show that all our boasted manufactnring advantages are quite insufficient to secure that monopoly of the markets of the world, " which the organs of the British manufac turers are in the habit of so modestly claiming as their undoubted right." The Chronicle appears to anticipate but little public benefit from the approaching Session of Parliament, and comments on the continued reserve of Sir Robert Peel and his organs, as regards the measures of Government. " If," says our Contemporary, " we were to conjecture the plans of Ministers from the speculations of the Press by which they are supported, we should feel very posi tive that it was the intention of Government to repeal the. New 'Poor-law, and restore the old ; to abolish the Penny Postage and restore the old rates ; we should believe that the first measure of the Session would be one for limiting the hours of labour in our manufactories, and the second one for restricting the use of machinery." The Times gives a flat contradiction to the statement that the East India Company have given an order to foreign manufacturers for a large amount of military clothing, t observing " this, to be sure, was given as a mere rumour, but a rumour which all presumptive rea sonings must have served to contradict. The report was entirely without foundation, and the whole super structure, therefore, built upon that stupid assumption, falls to the ground." The Advertiser, speculating . on the proceedings of the approaching Session, is of opinion that the intention of Sir Robert Peel is to content himself with a very vague reference, in her Majesty's Speech, to the existing dis tress, and to his meditated measures for a modification of the Corn-laws. "And the ground," adds the Adver tiser, " on which he has come to this conelusion is, that it will be far better to make these questions the subjects of specific statements at an after period." The Herald contains an article on the subject of the withdrawal of the Puseyite candidate for the Oxford. Professorship of Poetry, wherein our Contemporary eon gratulates his readers on the circumstance, and adds, " We look upon the result of the struggle as a signal triumph to the Established Protestant Church of this country ; but by no means as the extinguisher of the Newman and Pusey Romanism." We quote the following from the Durham Chronicle:— " The election of Lord Morpeth, by one of those simul taneous and powerful impulses of public opinion which every now and then mark the sense of a people on ques tions of deep national interest, would be a condemna tion of the character and policy of the Peel Government rather too debided and unequivocal to be acceptable either in Downing-street or Dublin Castle. So, f or th e grace of both, Dublin Castle has put itself forward, by the ex ercise of all its influence and authority, to preserve Down ing-street from the mortifying humiliation of defeat." The Hull Advertiser, writing on the Corn-laws, ex presses itself as follows :—" The poor Tory who resists the repeal of the Corn-laws, is either the most infatuated or the most self-denying of men, for he voluntarily with holds bread from his starving family to increase the ren tal of a landlord who is less solicitous about his exist ence than that of a deer in his park, or a pheasant in his preserves." The West Briton observes—" We meet with complaints in some of the Tory journals that Mr. O'Connell does not, in his magisterial capacity, repress his feelings of partisanship. It was scarcely to be expected that Daniel would exhibit a perfect model of decorum, but his sins in this way do not appear to us very flagrant. If the Tories wish, however, to punish open partisanship in men high in authority, their indignant virtue may find ample scope for displaying itself in another qnarter." In reference to the Dublin election, the Dublin Even ing Post remarks :—" The Reformers are thoroughly or ganised, and prepared for the struggle, and they will enter the lists in the full confidence of victory. In a fair fight—upon equal terms—the enemy would not dare to show themselves, because they know that a vast majo rity of the electors support Lord Morpeth. This is well known at the Castle, and hence the reckless intimidation openly practised—the public use of the Viceroy's name, as the partisan of the Orange candidate 1" MONEY-Tali.DE-COMMERCE. The trade of Leicester, which at this season of the year is generally flat, is at the present time better than usual, and considerable improvement is expected during the year. • PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The Conservative Club have purchased the site of the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, for the erec tion of an additional Club-house. MEDICAL. A late Bombay paper states that when the plague devastated Malta, about 30 years ago, the commanding officer of one of the garrisons, hearing of the escape of the oil-porters on the opposite coast, ordpred his men to immerse their linen in oil every morning, which entirely secured them against the disease. ECCLESIASTICAL. In addition to the names put forward for the vacant BisNopri . c of Ossory, that of the Dean of Lismore, Dr. Cotton, has been mentioned. I.I.ZCTIONEERING. The election of a veriTlere;oTiiTeTr7sl of Epping, has been fixed for `Chursday next. Mr. Palmer, it is said, is likely to be the soccessful candidate. The Earl of Eldctu was unanimously elected President of the Pitt Club' on tha 19th inst., in room of the late Earl of Harewood, who had presided 22 years. LAW BNa POTACCE. At Bow-street yesterday the Hon. Henry Plunkett was fined 41., and a young man named Dukes 205., for assaulting police-constable Latter, 51 F. Mr. Plunkett positively denied the charge, and said it was not likely that he should strike the policeman as he was obliged to carry his left Arm in a sling, and his right hand was severely cut. The Magistrate admitted there was a great improbability that a blow could be struck with a sore hand, but he was obliged to give credit to the ,statement sworn to. . Both the defendants conducted ithemselves very peaceably at the station-house. ,:t Yesterday, a native Of Germany, evidently of disor dered intellect, applied a,,e. Kensington Police Court for an:order to see the Queen. The Magistrate had left, but the Chief Clerk, after puttinj some questions to the un fortunate man, eventually persuaded him to go to the Saxon Consul, whose address was given him, in the hope that steps would be taken to prevent his being at the present moment an annoyance to her Majesty at Windsor. Mr. Smith, of the Harbour Master's office, who has been repeatedly examined at Lambeth-street on a charge of seducing a Mrs. Hunter, of Greenwich, and stealing property belonging to her husband, was discharged yes terday. It has been observe d. that Mr. Norton has more of these crim. con. cases brought before him than all the other Magistrates togethor. PILAW: AI.SLTS. The report of the Commissioners at. Paris, appointed to inquire into the project for erecting a monument to the memory of the late Emperor Napoleon, states that it should be " a sarcophagus .of granite or porphyry, of a noble and rigid style of so.ulpture, and erected on an imperishable basis," and that besides the tomb and crypt to be erected in the Invalicies, there should also be an equestrian statue of the :Emperor on some spot near the hospital, on the outside. The remons for this plan are thus expressed:—" Inside the Church, the tomb—out side the statue ! Nothinsness in the si g ht of God ! Glory in the sight of men !" 0013aT--F.41 SECZONAZI.Z.

A Yankee paper states, that there " is a sick debtor in the neighbourhood of New York whose creditors paid him a visit, but found him so feeble that he warn't able to raise a single pound." T his species of sickness is very in fectious ; and we fear there are many English debtors in the same distressing state of debility. During the investigati,on of a case of assault at the Borough Court on Thur./ day, the defendant asked com plainant if her husband had not kicked her one day, about the time of the aF isault, until she fainted; to which she replied-*-" I'm n9,t; six months turned of marriage yet, so its too soon for my husband to be kicking me !" Tastes differ ; some married men would say that its hcver too soon to commence a wholesome courso of ma trimonial discipline. A Calcutta Journal says :—" Cases of bigamy are becoming very frequent in Calcutta; a gentleman is under prosecution for marrying three wives, and a lady is in a like predicament for marrying two husbands."— These accidents, we suppose, are owing to the extraor dinary heat of the climate ! Sit:John Dugdale Astley died on Wednesday last at Everleigh House, Wilts, aped 64. The coming of age of Lord Curzon, the eldest son of Earl Howe, was celebrated at Gospall Hall on the 18th.

The r eason w h y th e propose loan of 12,000,000 dol. was not all taken, had no COr nection with the national credit- (which could nc4.l better), but was attributable—first, to the scarcity o s money ; and, secondly, to the fact that ' the stock hasd l 7, a short time to run.

This morning Sir H. Halford, Dr. Chambers, and Mr. Cutler visited their Noble patient ; we regret to state there is no alleviation of his suffering-a. A bulletin was issued at one o'clock to-day, of which the following is a copy :—" His Grace the Duke of Cleveland has passed a restless night, and is not quite sc# well to-day as he was yesterday." " St. James's-square, 22d January, 1F1.42." , We understand that, measures are now in pro ' gress to raise subscripti ons f or present i ng a suitable tes timonial of esteem land gratitude to G eorge St e ph enson , Esq., who has been designated "the rathcar of the Rail way System." The public, perhaps, have hitherto, more than the proprietors, reaped the benefits that have re sulted from the general establishment of railways, and we make no Question that they would cheerf acknow /11:0011111 measure repay, their oblig ration to one woo nub beoi so active in the cause. With out entering into any discussion as to their original projector, it is be yond dispute, that no other man, living or • dead, is so much of the merit due of having practical ly promoted railways, as to George Stephenson.—.Railwcw Times. A CASE OF PRESUMPTION —During an ar gument of Counsel, in a case heard to-day b efore Vice- Chancellor Wigram, with respect to presumption, his Honour said that the following was the strongest case he had ever met with :—A man was tried before Lord Ken ;Ton, under an indictment under the Game-laws, for shooting a bird. It was proved that the man fired, and that the bird fell and was picked up by the prisoner. The J ur y returned a verdict of not guilty. When asked for their reason, they said they presumed that the bird had di e d 0 , 1 fright, there being no evidence that there was any sho,t in the gun.

Whether he is to be one of 2'4. pr of 2 6, or 36, is nothing to the purpose; as plainly eg the 1 anguage of statutes can de clare anything, he is as m uch a knight and as truly a knight as it is p°ssL the to make an infant ; and his knighthood requires no sor tof confirmation, though it is fitting that at the eat t convenient opportunity he would be formally invest ed and installed.---Times. , tl] rn T, is -.to th la; ti( si b 3 ita ea tra th, fri th
