STEAM CARRIAGES, The constant examples of the successful ap plication of steam-carriages to the ordinary roads has created a new era in the history of scientific discovery. The extent of the step that has been taken in locomotive communication can only be appreciated by a short retrospective glance. How often has the prediction that automatic carriages might supersede the use of vehicles drawn by horses, been ridiculed (and that too within a very few years) as the dream of a vi sionary, or the prophecy of a madman. The laugh, however, is now silenced, and the ro mance has become a reality. "So it is," as Voltaire says, " t h at the sagacious spirits who are termed madmen for being in advance of one age, become the guides and sages of the next." The moral of the subject lies in the query---If the past has so rapidly effected this triumph, what prospects are there not reserved for the future ? Are our next steps to be mea sured by the preceding ? It is now near forty years, when neither steam-vessels nor steam carriages had made their appearance, that Dar win, in terms plainer than scriptural prophecy, predicted what has now been realized-- Soon shall thy arm, gigantic steam afar Drag Me slow barge, or urge the rapid car. These two triumphs are now fulfilled ; in the following line he proceeds to predict a third : and who shall now say that it has not as great a chance of fulfilment ? This last pre diction refers to the application of steam ma chinery to the direction of aerostation, which he scientifically analogises to that of birds, the bal loon merely supplying the buoyant office of the air-bladder-- Or on wide waving wings expanded bear The flying chariot through the realms of air. Pair crews triumphant, smiling from above, Shall wave their fluttering kerchiefs as they move ; Or warrior bands alarm the gaping crowd, And armies shrink beneath the rushing cloud. Bishop Wilkins's prediction of the success of aerostation, couched in the celebrated phrase, that a man would call for his Wings as familiarly as for his boots, has not perhaps the chance of being realized. But we have made amends for our little progress in the air by inventions for aiding locomotion on land and water. Had the Bishop said of the steam-engine what he said of the ballon, that instead of a coachman we should have an engineer, and instead of fresh horses at every stage we should have a fresh supply of coals, he would have met with as much incredulity as when predicting that we should send colonists to them oon, and establish aerial post horses on the route. But even these things are not more wonderful than the wonders of accelerated travelling, which steam discovery (combining th e railroad a nd th e s t ea m-carriage) is opening upon us. We pass over Mr. Vallance's plan for tra velling at the rate of 100 miles an hour by means of a tunnel ; or Mr. Franklin's for travelling at the same rate by means of a paper kite. If Dr. Johnson w a s correc t i n sa yi ng th a t f e w things were better than travelling at the rate of ten miles an hour, including stoppages, how would the Learned Doctor have been captivated in travelling, and in an equally snug vehicle, at the rate of a hundred. Twenty-five miles is not beyond the speed of a hunter, and has been realized repeatedly on railways. A permanent speed beyond that would, perhaps, be intolerable, but we see no reason why a steam-carriage on a railway should not reach Margate, Dover, Portsmouth, or Southampton, in three or four hours.— Morning Advertiser. CEMETERY.—An extensive cemetery is about to be established beyond the limits of the city. TI. , state of the church yards in Dublin is frightful. But a few days since, we were informed by a clergyman, that a body was interred, if indeed that can be said, in one of the most populous neighbourhoods, not two feet from the sur face. This is an outrage upon common decency, both towards the dead and the living, that calls fur correction. A eemetery removed from the crowded dwellings of the living, and the noisy and busy scenes of life, if laid out with taste, and an a proper site, Hill become an object of interest and fond regard, and we cor dially join in the anticipation of the Committee that it will have a moral and useful influence.—DublinEveni ng Post. Landseer, the artist, has been for several months engaged in depicting the most effective and pic• turesque scenes of the Romantic Annals of England, France, Italy, and Spain, for the purpose of illustrating that useful and interesting work, " The Romance of His tory," of which an entire new edition is announced for publication forthwith, in the cheap and popular form of monthly volumes. The work is to be commenced on the Ist of November, and continued on the Ist of every suc ceeding month until completed ; and every volume is to contain not less than Seven beautiful illustrations take❑ from Drawings expressly designed by Mr. T. Landseer, for this Illustrated Edition of the Romance of History. There has been recently dredged up at Thorpe, by the machine in the employ of the Norwich and Lowes. toft Navigation Company, an ancient sword, which from its scytnitar•like form has excited some curiosity. Its entire length is 3 feet 2 inches; its blade though much corroded, is still very elastic, and in its broadest part 21 inches. On each side, a few inches above the guard, is a rude in laying of red gold, to represent a coronet of three points. The gu rd is slightly curved, and the extremities pierced with a quartrefoil. The pommel of brass is round, with the sides flattened ; upon which is rudely engraved the figure of a monster with a human face and the body of a beast. Around this, on each side, is a similar figure, whose tail is covered with foliage. There is no clue in our iocal histories whereby we might assign a period to its being lost in our river ; unless it was in the year 1277, when King Edward, according to Stow, made a military pro grnes through Suffolk and Norfolk, and kept his Easter at Norwich. This ancient weapon has been presented to Norwich museum by the directors of the navigation. Carnbridge Chronicle. A case of greater barbarity has seldom been known than the following, which occurred on the night of the 7th instant, in the village of Panxwortli, Norfolk. A man named Thirkettle, under-gamekeeper to Mr. Burroughs, of Burlingham, went in the middle of the night to call up Thurtell, another gamekeeper, say ing that there were three men on the Hill (a co vert) after the game. Thurtell got up and ac companied him ; and they had not long been walking, before Thirkettle said he heard some shrieks in the direction of his house, and he thought the men were there murdering his wife. The two then went in that di rection, but Thirkettle got there first. When Thurtell arrived, he found the poor woman put into the arm-chair, apparently lifeless, her head dreadfully cut in six places , her teeth kno c k e d out, and her body very much bruised. ' Thirkettle a p peared to feel burt for her, and declared he considered it must be the thre e men b . Life . was . found not to be extinct ; and in the mor ning e direction of Mr. Burroughs, she was taken to the hospital. Search was made for the footsteps of the p ret e on tad h e n E i p i n t o g u a l c s . h u e ffi rs e , i but t,ti none could be found. The woman, covered, declared it was her husband who had ilel•tryeatreed. her, and her evidence is supported by One of the children • but this he as stoutly de nied, and ev en accompanied hi s wife, apparently sorrowfully to the hospital. He was however, apprehended on Tuesday, and after being ex amined by the Rev. J. D. Borton, was conveyed to Nor wich Castle, until his wife should be able to give evidenc e . The woman, we are happy to say, i s likely to recover. They had for some tim e lived uncomfortably, in conse quence of his attentions to another woman. Some money was taken out of the bureau, which is suspected to have been done by Thirkettle himself, to give credit to the ale.— Cambridge Chronicle. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1833. 22 44 27 12 27% IQ Due. We can perceive by the Dutch Papers that ,he uneasy, jealous spirit of dissatisfaction stil continues as active as ever among the Dutch and Belgians. And yet the King of HOLLAND still clings to the hope of being able to reunite the two nations St. Petersburgh journals mention that the Emperor of RUSSIA, in his recent excursion through Poland, visited the celebrated battle field of Ostrolenko, where, it may be remembered, the Poles made such a heroic stand against the overwhelming masses of Scythian savages, brought against them by DIEBITBCII. We do not envy the feel ings with which the Russian Nero surveyed this scene of wholesale carnage. Though it must have gratified his raging lust for blood, to think how many hundred brave spirits there breathed out their last gasp, yet his pride as a mo narch and a despot must have received a severe shock, at reflecting how little—how very ,le impression, his countless myriads were able to make on the Polish army. The battle of Os trolenko was assuredly not gained by the Rus sians—despite the boasted omnipotence of the Imperial arms—for DIEBITSCH, though he ral lied shortly afterwards, was compelled to retreat, while the Poles were enabled to bivouack through the night on the field. The St. Pe tersburgh Journal, however, very discreetly in sists that the latter were completely routed. This is just as it should be. A negotiation being now in progress between the English and Belgian Post-offices, having for its object the extension of the communica tions from two to four times per week, one is naturally tempted to ask why it is not at once extended to every day? We pretend to be anxious to cultivate the good will of the Belgians, to enter into commercial relations with them, and we talk of a post-office communication, four times a week, between Ostend and London, —places not further apart than London and Derby or Shrewsbury, or about half the distance of London and Durham or Carlisle ! Mr. SPRING RICE, in the addenda to his pamphlet upon the doings of the Reform Ministry and the Reformed Parliament, took credit for the improvements made in the Post office Department. In his next edition he will perhaps be good enough to bring some proof s of its liberality in the matters of our intercourse with foreign countries. Captain Ross may be hourly expected in London. He has arrived in the Isabella at the Orkney Islands, all well. We beg to call the attention of our readers to the proceedings of the Magistrates yesterday at the Middlesex Sessions, in granting music licenses. They are well worthy of notice, b ut , by some accident, this is a department of th e duties of the magistracy which has not beer subject so much to the supervision of public opinion as the rest, and abuses have accordingly sprung up, which it is high time should be cor rected. We shall again advert to the subject to-morrow. In another column will be found a letter from Dr. de PRATI on behalf of the Marquis of CANOSSA, " the last male descendant of the family of MICHAEL ANGELO," who at the age of 74, appears to have been thrown into prison by the French Government, for some political offence. We cannot imagine that LOUIS PHILIP, much as he has done to for feit the confidence of the friends of liberty, will so cover himself with disgrace as to guillo tine, as M. de PRATI apprehends, a man of 74, who, whatever he may have written, would be sufficiently punished by banishment from France. At any rate we trust that the appeal now made to the public, for the means of defending so old and celebrated an advocate of liberal principles, will not be made in vain. Mr. GEORGE FARREN, the Resident Direc tor of the Asylum Assurance Company, must by this time be rather sorry for the result of his attack upon Joint Stock Banks. His exagge rated statement of evils to be apprehended from them, and careful concealment of the benefits they had actually yielded, made his pamphlet utterly contemptible in the eyes of all well informed men ; but it has unexpectedly been the means of bringing before the public a vast number of reasons in favour of doing that which he so earnestly entreats the public not to do. A gentleman, writing under the signature of Civis, has added another to the list of replies to Mr. FARREN'S statement, and certainly it is not the least powerful of them. After ridiculing Mr. FARREN'S confession of faith, that if fifty private banks broke it would not shake his confidence in the system at present pursued in London, Civis shows that out of seventy banks of deposit, which existed in London in 1810, twenty-two have since failed, on an average, for 350 000/. each estate, making a total of abou even millions and a half sterling►, of which, after deducting the dividends, roux LIONS sterling were actually lost to the public. But admitting the present private banks of London to be perfectly stable Cry's shows that there is ample room for an other, but that the Manchester and Liverpool Banking Companies, since eminently successful, met with just the same opposition as Mr. FAR REN now urges to the establishment of a Joint Stock Bank in London. He then continues— " Your horror of such Companies is, however, ex cessive; and that you may try to shield the too sanguine from the consequences of their own rash calculations, you press into your service every conceivable hypothetical calamity! " The property of the partners may not be sufficient to satisfy the judgments against the Bank;' (and, then, your consistency I You first assume the partners to be PAUPERS, and next you ' warn' them ant to join the Banks for fear of losing their PROPERTY !)—he, therefore, who gets a judgment against a partner, may get nothing by his motion ; the Public officer ' may not have any funds ;' the Directors may abstract all the moneys;' the different proprietors may live a life of endless squabbles amongst themselves.' But do you not see, Sir, that the whole of your argument is based upon the supposition, that it is more likely to find 60,000 Partners insolvent than 6 ! and that it is not easy (indeed not possible) t o find twenty-four Directors who will not misapply the moneys 'of the Bank! Your argument amounts to just what I state; but really it requires no answer, for there is nothing to refute. "In reply to your Squabbles,' it is only necessary to remind you, that by referring to the Reported Cases in our Courts of Law, we find very few indeed in which Binkers are parties. In point of fact very little litigation results from Banking transactions ; and quarrels are much less likely to happen with a body of Directors unswayed by passion, than with individuals however remarkable for meekness or forbearance. " Joint Stock Companies are nevertheless the pillows upon which you resolve to rest your resentment;' and ac cordingly your indignation is levelled against them but may I venture to ask you, Sir, where slumbered all this indignation when the Asylum Assurance Company was brought into life? Why, Sir, you are like the man in Hogarth's Contested Election,' who i s saw i ng d own the adverse sign, without once considering that the saw is between him and the wall ! For, if we ought not to have Joint Stock Banks of Deposit, with large subscribed Capitals, and small paid-up ones,' why should we have Joint Stock INSURANCE Companies? Many of them have considerable subscribed Capitals, and moderate paid-uP ones; and why? because it is proper to secure to the public the utmost facility of recovering any just claim which individuals may have upon the body, therefore the subscribed Capital ought to be sufficiently ample to cover every possible amount; but as it is not likely that these claims will ever be excessive at any one period, it is un necessary, and therefore would be unjust, to call upon the Company to pay up its whole capital. A Bank of Issue, indeed, ought to be required to pay (up all or nearly all) its subscribed Capital ; but as a De posit Bank avowedly proposes to derive its income from the lodgements of its customers, it ought not to be em barrassed with too much of its own money." We trust that this last sentence does not in dicate an intention, on the part of' the new Bank, to be satisfied with a small paid up c a p tal. A la paid up capit a l w ill b e necessary o give the rge public confidence ; b ut as the share holders will, no doubt, express their sentiments upon the subject, and as they will, from their numbers, fairly represent public opinion, there can be little danger of any new Company not adopting the course best calculated to promote its interests. Civis thus proceeds to demolish Mr. FA RRE NI'S insinuations against the integrity of Bank Directors " But your objections to such Companies are not li mited to the largeness of the subscribed, or the smallness of the paid up crpital. You 'suppose that the Directors may abstract the money.' If every Director were to con cur (or each trustee to concur) in the robbery, then I vant you they may get hold of all the money, and run away with it ; but as no man in his senses would propose a managing Director for a Joint Stock Bank, it would not be possible for any one Director to abstract a shilling ! You ought to know that, in Public Banking Companies, the Cash is never in the custody of any one Director. It is in charge of the Cashiers, who give security ; no Di rector can get money except upon his check ; and his check would not be paid unless he had the amount at his individual credit. If men were to act upon your unchari table presupposition, there would be no Trustees, and there could be no Trusts. No man would confide in any two or three, for they ' might run away.' But now, Sir, since we are upon this part of the subject, let me ask you if the system of private banking be exempt from these casualties ? Did you never hear of a private B snker run ning away with the money of his customers? a private Banker can do so with great ease, as each partner has free access to the Cash —pray, where is Mr. Rowr.mcn STEPHENSON ? A private Banker, acting as sole Trus tee, may violate the trusts reposed in him, or if he have Co-Trustees, he may forge their Signatures : both of these happened in the case of FAUNTLEROT. Private Bankers may,—during the agonies preceding their stoppage,—use the short Bills of their Customers, though only paid in to be collected, as in the cases of and and , &c. Now, the perpetration of such doings is next to impossible in a Joint Stock Bank ; and I submit that, whatever objections may be made on the score of risk in dealing with many partners, the risk of dealing with a few is immeasurably greater. " But ' the Directors may be merchants,' and then customers will not like to go to them,' as they may be in the same trade.' To be sure they may be merchants. Igo further, and say, they ought to be merchants. Are not the Directors of the Bank of England merchants? and have you not a perfect answer to this objection, in corn• paring the private deposits at the Bank in 1824, before the panic, when they were about 2,000,0001., with the amount of about 6,000,0001., in 1827, after the panic? From that time to the present they have never been below 5,000,0001. ; they have exceeded 7,000,000/, and they are now about 6,000,0001. And this vast amount remains, although the interest is a dead loss to depositors; whereas, in a Joint Stock Deposit Bank, the depositors would base equal security, and get some interest. You see here, Sir, how a conviction of security gets over the little paltry notion of ' revealing one's business to a rival in trade.' But, besides, are there no private bankers who are at the same time merchants? Do you not know that Mr. Abra ham Robarts is a merchant ?—that Sir John Lubbock is a merchant ? Doubtless, there are ethers ; but these will suffice for an answer to you." The pamphlet closes by a statement of the profits of all the Joint-Stock Banks in existence, by which it appears that the shares of some are at premiums of 120, 125, and even 320 per cent., whilst only three have ever failed, and they, if we rightly recollect, occasioned no loss to their customers. Those whose minds are in doubt upon this important subject will do we to read the pamphlet before us. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, OCT.

RotrcH. Esq., M.P., and a Bench of Magiqrates.) MINT PKOSECUTIONS.—Ann APCurthy, an old Iris') woman, WaR indicted for uttering a bad crown-piece on the 24th of September last, to a person named Agate ; and another indictment charged her with uttering a counterfeit half-crown to a person named Anderson, on the 10th of the present month. It appeared from the evidence that the counterfeit crown piece was tendered to Mr. Agate in Covent-garden market, in payment for some turnips, and the half-crown to Mr. Anderson for two-pennyworth of gin, on both occasions the prisoner having more good money in her pockets than would have purchased the articles. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. PARKER appeared for the pro, secution. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, and the Jury found her Guilty. Th , . prisoner, who had only shortly been released from two years' imprisonment for a similar offence, was sentenced by the Court to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, in the House of Correction. Henry Mittington was indicted for unlawfully having in his possession, on the 16th of the present month, sixtee❑ counterfeit shillings. On the day in question a police man, in consequence of information he had received, took the prisoner into custody. On searching lim at the station-house in Bow-street, he discovered a bad shilling in his pocket ,, , and suspecting that he had more about him he desired him to op-n his mouth, which on his re fusing to do, the policeman caught him tightly by the throat, when he instantly spit out 15 shillings, all of which were counterfeit. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had picked up the money, and had placed it in his mouth for safety, think ing it would do him good some time or other. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, twelve weeks of that time to be kept in solitary confinement. John Wall was convicted of stealing, on the 12th of the present month, from the shop of Mr. Heath, a tobsc. conic in Marshall -street, Westminster, half-a-crown, five shillings, seven sixpences, and eightpence in copper. From the evidence of Mrs. Heath it appeared that the prisoner, who is a regular sneak, came into the shop while she was in the back room. After looking round he went to the till, and ran off with the money, which wds in a bas. The Court sentenced the prisoner to seven years' tran sportation.

The French mail has not arrived as yet, consequently we are without any continental news. The only arrival, this morning, i s a Jamaica mail-- sailed on the 3d of September, and from Carthagena on the 26th of August; by which conveyance we have received the Jamaica papers of the 81st of August, but they do not contain any news of importance. They state that his Excellency has further prorogued the House of Assembly to the 10th of September; and that accounts, from all parts of the country, afford the grati fying assurance that tranquillity is restored throughout that lately disturbed island ; but the information brought by the packet, the Reindeer, from Carthagena, is, that, on the eve of her sailing from Carthagena, a conspiracy was discovered in that city, composed of the Liberals. Their intentions were to secure the barracks and prison, and afterwards to massacre the respectable citizens, with a great many of the white inhabitants. The principals concerned were men of colour, who are in custody. In telligence had also reached Carthagena from Bogota to the 2d of July, announcing that a conspiracy had been dis covered there, directed against the Government. A General Lards was to have headed the conspirators. The said General has been arrested. The Government was unpopular. Jamaica was tranquil when the packet left. Captain Ross has arrived in the Isabella at the Orkney Islands, all well. TILE FUNDS. Console, which left off yesterday at 86j 8 for the Ac count, opened at Hi to 87, with little doing as yet.

W e learn by the accounts from Havannah that it was estimated the growing crop of coffee would be 2,000,000 arrobas, which, although not so large as last year's, was still more than bad been expected. The sugar crop looked well as to quality, but the quantity was ex pected to be about 30,000 boxes less than last year, the cholera having been most destructive on some of the estates. Freights were uncommonly dull, few vessels ob taining more than Si. per ton, and many under, for cargoes to Europe. The exchange on London was six to seven per cent. NEW STRAND THEATRE. The music license for this theatre having been refused by the Magistrates yesterday, on the ground of Mr. Rayner not being in possession, Mr. PAYNE, on that gentleman's behalf, renewed the application this morning. The Magistrates, yesterday, the Chairman dissenting, had expressed an opinion that the license was personal and not to the premises, but if the license were granted it would operate for the house, and Mr. Rayner would have no control, he not being in possession of it. That was a mistaken notion, because if anything was done by Miss Kelly contrary to the lease Mr. Rayner could immediately take possession. After attentively considering the Act, it appeared to him that the license was personal, but then a question would at ise whether such a license granted for a year at the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions could come into operation till the party to whom the license was granted began to keep the house ; and whether a person in possession before and at the time the license was applied could derive any benefit under or have any thing to do with it. He felt no hesitation in saying that he could not, nor could the license begin to opera e till the party to whom it was granted took p ssession. Should, however, the Court be against hint, on those points he could adduce instances where similar licenses had been granted to indi viduals not in possession of the premises, but having let them to other persons. For instance, the license for Sad ler's Wells was granted to Grimaldi and others, Mr. Almar being really in possession. And the license to the Queen's Theatre was granted to Mr. Wilde, while it was notorious that Mr. Perry was in possession. The Learned Counsel went through the Acts of Parliament on the subject with great clearness, and in conclusion expressed a hope, no principle of law being here clear, than that a Court of Quarter Sessions, unless restricted by Acts of Parliament, had a control over its own orders, that the Court would set aside the order pronounced yesterday and grant the license. The CHAIRMAN said that he remained of the same opi nion that he erpr.-ssed yesterday, that a license slight be granted by the Court, which would have to be in abey ance for a certain period; the only difficulty he felt Wds that the license had been refused by a full bench of ma gistrates, and the application was renewed before a thin one. It the Court, as at present constituted, was to Set aside the decision of yesterday, he was sfraid his brother magistrates, who were absent, would have just cause to complain that no notice had been given to them on the subject. The Chairman, after consulting with the Magistrates present, /rated that it was their opi nion that the application should he refused. Mr. Rayner said he thought he bad been rather hardly dealt with by the Court, as th,y would not grant him the same privilege they would to any body else. The CHAIRMAN—I Think so too. In the comae of his observations yesterday The CHAIRMAN said, that be did not think Mr. Rayner would remain lung witlp.ut his lic.nse. What could induce the Lord Chamberlain to withhold it, he was at a loss to conceive. If any theatre deserved to be licensed it was that. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.
