A In consequence of the great number of applications for share in this Company which are daily received from all parts of the country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten tion o 1 the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most strictly:to adhere : " As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in terested and of the highest respectability. By order, L. F. IIDWARDS, Secretary pro tern.

The Committee of Management have the satisfact on-iof- laing be fore the shareholders i n this undertaking a copy of a communication rece ived from their enginee r, Charles Vignoles, Esq., and addressed to the Secretary, on the subject of depositing the plans and sections.

" Sir,—l have the satisfaction of reporting to you, for the guid ance of the Board, that the progress made in the Parliamentary sur veys for the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway is such, that I am now able to assure you that the whole of the necessary plans and sections will be completed in good time for lodgment on the 29th November.—l am, Sir, your faithful servant, " CHARLES VIGNOLES, Engineer.

Offices, 5, Gresham-street, Bank, London, November 7, 1845. The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company have much satisfaction in informing the Proprietors that they have concluded an arrangement with the Great Westeni.Com pany, the South Wales, Vale of Neath, and Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester Companies, by which an Amalgamated Bread Gauge Scheme for completing the railway communication with the Mineral Districts of South Wales will be submitted to Parliament with their united support. The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Com pany have felt that, amidst the conflicting interests around them, it was their duty to look rather to the security of their Proprietors than to the absolute integrity of their original plan ; but having secured its virtual Integrity by obtaining a share in the capital, and a repre sentati on at the boards of the two Companies by which parts of the work will be executed, they feel confident that their Proprietors will approve an arrangement by which much useless expense will be avoided, and the probability cf obtaining the sanction of Parlia ment to the general plan materially increased, whilst a continuous interest in the line from Neath to Worcester is preserved. They have only to add that, as regards money, they are fully pre pared to meet Parliament, and that they have received the most confident assurances from their engineer and their solicitors that nothing can interfere with the deposit of their plans, sections, and books of reference, within the time prescribed by the standing orders.

RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT. That the public may not be misled by the various statements that have appeared in the public papers, and is the pro spectus of the Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New port on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried, declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc onofrailways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen Was ,a ithe same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the allway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ mtial landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition to the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for. C. W. ESTCOURT, lion. Secretary to the Committee. P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the Direct Ryde and Yentnor Railway, I am instructed by the Com mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided oppoottiowas the former projects.

The Provisional Board of Direction desire to announce that they will this day proceed with the allotment of shares in the Company. Pursuant to the first intimation received on the subject of registra tion, as slated in the Company's original:prospectus, registration would not have been required in this country. But subsequent communi cations, together with the rapid progress which has been made in the opinion of the authorities and the community at large at Bombay, and the necessity of negotiations with the Honourable the Court. of Directors of the East India Company and the Home Government, as also with the Supreme Government at Calcutta, where the India Railway Board is established, have rendered it important that the Company should, under the Registration Act, be organised as a con stituted body as soon as possible. It has, therefore, been determined by:the Directors not to wait for the Indian Charter, which cannot be granted till after a definite portion of their lines has been sanc tioned by the Indian Government, but to effect provisional regis tration, and proceed with complete registration as soon as the forms and requirements of the Registration Act can he complied with. Meanwhile, in conformity with that Act, the deposit of k/. 10s. per Share will be received in two separate payments, viz., ss. on execut ing the subscribers contract, upon issue of the letters of allotment, when a banker's receipt will be given, and the balance of 2/. 55., on WEDNESDAY, the 10th day of December next, when the said receipt will be exchanged for scrip, and before which day complete registra tion will have been effected. _ . .... _ This necessary alteration in their plans renders it expedient at once to allot the greater part of the shares to be issued in this country. It is on. this footing that the allotment will be made. It being, how ever, still distinctly understood that no reserved shares shall be is sued at a subsequent period, the full benefit of which shall not accrue and be appropriated to the advantage of the Company. I [Should any applicant for shares object to the course now an nounced, he will be at liberty to withdraw his application on . or be fore the 12th instant. The Board take this opportunity of calling the attention of all par ties who have signified a desire to obtain an interest in this under taking to the following statement of its progress and present position. This Company was the first to put itself into communication with the Hon. Court of Directors of the East India Company, as noticed in the published dispatch to the Governor-General of the 7th of May last. It claimed the consideration of the Honourable Court on the ground of the great importance of its undertaking, socially, com mercially, and politically, to the provinces of the Peninsula between Bombay and Central India, on the one hand, and Hyderabad and the eastern districts on the other. In administering the interests of the Company the Directors consider they will best advance them by adhering iu their proceedings to the principles recognised by the Honourable Court in their dispatch above mentioned. With this view they will continue to prosecute a full and detailed inquiry into the resources and traffic of the districts which their lines are in tended to accommodate. Their manager, Mr. Chapman, with three assistant engineers, is, under the recommendation of the Bombay Committee, already en gaged in examining the country from Bombay, in a north-easterly direction, to Oomrawuttee, in the province of Berar, the largest and most fertile of the cotton districts dependent upon Use port of Bombay, _011.1.13tg areapp.t.o9.Calgmild,zry , as"?lft"za 'befiratiuttee, - Mr. Chapman will return and survey it in detail to Bombay, so as to admit of such a definitive plan and estimate being prepared as will enable the Directors ,as speedily as possible, to apply to the Honour able Court and the Indian Government for a charter empowering the Company to commence that portion of their lines. The result of these preliminary proceedings will be submitted to the consideration of the Shareholders before any outlay is incurred in the actual construction of works, or any further call made beyond the V. 10s. _ Thus fortified by accurate details and surveys, the Directors will also feel themselves im a position to claim at the hankie of the Indian Government that they shall, in the terms of their dispatch, " take into consideration the mode and extent of such pecuniary assistance as they shall think proper to afford towards the execution of the lines" thus approved. . . . . . The Directors wish further to point out that this Company, which takes for the theatre of its immediate operations the Presidency of Bombay, does not in any respect interfere with the East India Rail way Company, associated for similar purposes as respects the Pre sidency of Bengal. On the contrary, the undertakings of the two Companies, it is hoped, may be made reciprocally beneficial to each other, and generally advantageous to the Indian Empire. Extracts from correspondence subsequent to the date of that lately published for the information of parties interested will lie for the same purpose at the offices of Messrs. White and Borrett, 35, Lin coln's Inn-fields, and L. M. Simon's, Esq., 7, Warnford-court, Throg. morton-street, where on application they can be seen. . (Signed) JOHN STUART WORTLEY, Chairman. WM.

England cannot stand by with her arms folded, and allow:such an invasion upon her rights as the expulsion of a hardy and frugal race, long established at the mouths of the Columbia. But the neighbouring States, too, are also threatened. California is already doomed to form a twenty-ninth or thirty-ninth state of the Union ; Mexico will follow, for in that wretched country there is no power of resistance ; and unless England manfully oppose the very first encroachments, she may reckon upon the occupation of Cuba and the attempted conquest of all the British West India islands. Our olject is not to create alarm or to excite a hostile feeling in America , for we state only facts about which there can be no dispute, and which are even openly avowed by certain organs of lead ing parties in the United States; our object is to put Eng land on her guard, to encourage her Government to maintain her rights, and to remember that no nation ever shamefully yielded to unjust claims without being compelled to yield fifty more, or resist at last when the fit opportunity had been lost, and the strength and insolence of the aggressor, - were increased by the acquisition of unlawful wealth. For many reasons both countries may regret the alternative, but it is neither consistent with the policy, nor the power, nor the honour of England to put off the evil day. The French newspapers, we perceive, are congratulating their readers on the favourable comparison which exists between the balance of their " exchanges of manufactured products with England" for the last year : _ " With England our situation with regard to the exchange of manufactured products is more favourable. Out of 145 millions of merchandise which she sells us, 54 are manufactured articles, of which 12i are consumed here; whilst, out of 144 millions of our products with which we supply her, 72i millions are articles of our own manufacturing." This is, no doubt, a very just source of gratulation to the statistical critic by whom the results embodied in that article of the Journal des Debats, from which we are quoting, are discussed. But it is matter, also, pregnant with grave re flection fur the English public. For obvious reasons, we are disposed to attach more importance to the data for the con clusions arrived at by the French journalists, than to those of the Parliamentary return called for by Mr. HASTIE, M.P., to which we some time ago adverted (Sess. Pap., 1845, No. 628), entitled " Trade with France." In the latter, the summary of "..Imports from France," their official value is stated at 3,687,8784, and the total of exports to France, official value, is given at 5,284,176/. Now the difference in pounds sterling between these two bums should be a very large amount, indeed, in favour of England. But, according to the Journal des Detats, it is a difference s even in francs, less than this sum in our currency. The question is—what is the cause of this difference? And we heartily wish that we -could set our mercantile community on diligently investigating the point. They would find it identified with that deplorable system of mone tary legislation which the country has permitted the Minister to establish, with a degree of infatuation and cre dulity scarcely to be believed, of an intelligent and observant people, forming the most highly civilized, opulent, and enter prising community in the world. What is the reason that France, Holland, Spain, Belgium, Germany, do not take more of our manufactured goods? The demand and market for our exports, considered in relation to the wonderfully reduced prices at which they are produced—that is natural, or gold standard prices—and the diminished rates of the wages paid for the industrial labour occupied upon them, are fearfully decreased. It is altogether a false principle of calculation to take the aggregate increase of declared and official value, and comparing it with the aggregate of any preceding year, to assume that because this is larger for 1844-45, therefore, there is an increase of our trading prosperity in the current year. There are to be taken into the account the increased number of ports of consignment, the increased extent of capital embarked in manufacturing establishments, and many other elements of any fair comparison, and the result will be that there is an absolute decrease both as to the bulk of our trade with certain given countries, once our largest customers, and as to the general profit upon the whole of our manufacturing opera tions. Gold, our readers will perceive, continues still too fatally to verify our reiterated predictions. The bullion. ac count of the . Bank of England published to-day exhibits a further decriase. 11,600,000/. is the whole store amount, over the perhaps 20,000,0001. of gold in circulation, to meet the floating demands which may be made upon the " con vertible " paper issued to represent all the evolutions of our immense trade ; the preliminary bargains in the scrip of new railway schemes, the hypothecated capital cf which exceeds 600,000,000/. ; the weekly drain for wages of the enormous establishments in our manufacturing districts ; for wages of all the workmen and staff of the great lines of railway on the Continent,which are worked by British capital ; for salaries, pay, &c., of all our immense public services ; and for our foreign commercial remittances. The price of gold—that is, the difference between the Act of Parliament or Mint price of the metal—at standard fineness, and its realisable or market value—is so palpably in favour of the foreign importer of grain or goods who has balances to be paid here, that he rejects at once all those of your manufactures of which he is not in want as matters of indis pensable necessity. He will be paid in English paper—cheque, bill, or bank-note ; he carries it to the Bank of England, and converts it into gold, and gold being dearer at Hamburgh, in Paris, at Lubeck, Bremen, &c., " it follows" (to use the of it at either of those great European marts. The reaction on the Bank of England is this :—the enhanced value of the gold in the market above the price at which it is compelled by Act of Parliament to pay it on de mand over its counter, increases in a far greater and prompter ratio than its raising its rates of discount and its contraction of its own paper issues can check this ten dency to dearness in the gold market, or raise the value of its own paper in the exchanges. But what is the effect of all those causes in combination? The raising of the rate of discount, the diminution of the gold bullion in deposit, and the contraction of its paper currency, to which the Bank na turally and properly resorts as a precautionary means of alleviating the pressure upon its resources arising from the scarcity of gold and the convertibility into gold of those paper issues on demand, aggravate and aceelerate the declining tendencies not of the money and share markets alone, but of the whole trade of the United Kingdom, and must—inevi tably must—if, at even more than the eleventh hour, some timely and vigorous exercise of the authority of the SOVEREIGN do not avert the desperate and imminent peril of the impending catastrophe—result i n a ru i nous an d overwhelming panic. We deny that for s uc h a p an i c t i e pre vailingrailway share speculation man i a, l amentable though t may bev,_ill be mainly responsibl e . Th e respons ibili ty i will rest on a single head. The disaster will be attributable to Sir ROBERT PEEL, if he perversely refuse any longer to procure the issuing of an Order in Council, in the first place, to open the ports. If you relieve. the people than their pre sent well-grounded apprehensions of a winterfamine, or, at any rate, fearful privation;you ;vat go far to restore confi dence and cheerfulness to the public mind. If you would re-establish that banished cheerfulness, and that shaken con fidence, another Order in Council must suspend the opera tion of the Currency Acts of the years 1819, 1826, and 1844. We defy any man to show how the dangers that threaten us, and that have already cast such a gloom over the City, can be averted by any means short, in their virtual effect of these. When Sir ROBERT PEEL com menced his career of monetary legislation he assigned the dangers of " over speculation" as the prime motive of his fatal officiousness. When he introduced his complement Bill of last year, to consummate whatever ruin accident had theretofore prevented him from ac hi ev i ng __ , he rested his case on the necessity for discouraging over-speculation. What this was, he neither did, nor attempted to define. It was one of his sublimely vague nothings, on the credit of which, by a species of technical skill in propounding them, he has raised for himself a reputation of statesmanship. By which test will the premier be content that posterity shall now try his pretensions? By his sliding -scale of corn duties? All Europe is at this moment ridiculing its stupendous failure. By his currency legislation? He has shown him self, on a memorable occasion, incompetent to solve his own problem. propounded in his own words—" What is a pound?" A true statesman, not a Minister of expedients—agreat mind, not a trimming, cunning one—would come forward at this mo ment, and without further coquetting with daily -summoned and daily-adjourned Cabinet Councils of no conch , stens—man fully 41— w - 1115 past views. To recal the past mischiefs they have occasioned is impossible. To repair the fault of having committed them is still in his power, by aban doning his attachment for them, and manfully coming for ward to tear with his own hand his own Bills from out of the Statute-book. In consideration of the more immediate, press ing, and extensive of the calamities his counsels have en tailed upon the kingdom, let him begin by opening the ports, and breaking his unhappy sliding-scale, bury its fragment s deeper than the unholy wand of Prospero. Accounts from Madrid of the 30th ult. state that the Funds continued to rise—a singular feature in a country without credit, and at a time when the public funds in England, France, and every solvent state, are on the decline. The doors per c t e h h e t y s . sold w e r a e t 2 d 5 0 e Three per Cents, wer e officially quoted at 24 % for cash, but out at 315)4 for cash, and 36iva7ste operations in the Three of for time ; Coupons, 25 for cash. The Gazette publishes various regulations for the execu tion of the royal decree of Sept. 17, relative to public schools and universities. The following paragraph relative to the everlasting topic of the QUEEN'S marriage, appears in the Castellano, which we hope may be true :—" We may affirm, on pretty good authority, that the Ministry have come to no decision relative to her MaJzszv's marriage, and that there exists no engagement on the part of the Government on that point. We may 'add, that the Ministry have retained all the independence and freedom they require, to submit to her MAJESTY what may best suit the glory and prosperity of the country, when the time for so important a union shall have arrived. We also believe that a national feeling animates the whole Administration on a question of so much interest to the prospects of the throne." The accounts from Paris of the Money and Share Market continue unfavourable. The advises from London had caused a further depression in the Funds, and the Three per Cents. closed 15c. and the Fives 25c. lower than on the previous day, when th e y a l so f e ll. At the commencement of business strong eff o rt s were ma d e t o g ive an impulse to rail way shares, and for some time with effect, but ultimately the market gave.way, and the lines were considerably lower than on the preceding day. Thursday was settling day, and we are glad to find that the operation passed off much better than was expected. The political intelligence is without in terest. The Journal des Debuts has an article on the English corn-laws, and infers from the feeling of the country that Sir ROBERT PEEL, at the end of the four years of his administration,will be compelled to go much further even than the alterations proposed at the eleventh hour by Lord Jowl RUSSELL and his colleagues. In reference to the effect which a total abolition of the existing duties might have on France at the present time, that journal says :—" At all events, the measures which the English Government may take cannot endanger the supplies in other countries, and any uneasiness which might be felt as regards France would be very prema ture. The accounts received from all parts of the world give us reason to believe that the crops are sufficiently abundant for the wants of the people. The proximity of France might cer tainly, in a moment of urgency, which however, does not exist, induce England to come and satisfy its hunger at our expense. But that is an evil to which it will always be very easy to apply a remedy, since the law gives an express power to the Government to stop the exportation of the produce of the soil by royal ordonnance. The Government has already made use of that right, and will do so again in case of neces sity." The Constitutionnel states, but without giving any autho rity, that the Government is seriously preparing for an ex pe;ition against Madagascar, and for that purpose a naval squadron is about to be formed. Several ships are to be taken from the Bourbon station, and the division com pleted frorn the ports of France. The Princess DE JOINVILLE and her 'son are going on well. His title, as we have already stated, is Duke DE PENTIIIEVRE, and on Wed nesday he was christened by the Archbishop of PARIS, in the chapel of the Palace of St. Cloud, the KING and QUEEN, their MAJESTIES of Belgium, the Duchess of ORLEANS, the Count DE Palm, the other Princes and Princesses, the Prince and Princess of SALERNO, and the two Dukes of Conuno, being present. The names given to the Prince are PIERRE PHILIPPE JEAN MARIE D'ORLEANS. The witnesses to the registry were the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Em peror of BRAZIL, with Baron Girton (de l'Ain), and Admiral DE HELL. The Duke DE PEXTHIEVRE is the tenth grandson of his MAJESTY. We. subjoin some extracts from the Con tinental papers :- A letter from Pisa, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that Ibis. him Pacha, who is in better health, was to quit the baths of San Quilian on the 28th ult., for Florence, Rome, and Naples. In the beginning ef January he will proceed, by the advice of his medical attendants, to the Pyrenees. The Ambassador of France in Tuscany had come to thank Ibrahim for the handsome reception given to the Duke de Montpensier in Egypt. The German Catholic Synod, now assembled at Berlin, has fixed in the following manner the line of conduct which it intends following, in order to place the German Church in connexion with the State. The President declared that the State not having re cognised the German Catholic Church, nothing could be yet fixed absolutely relative to their mutual relations. In order to obtain the recognition of the State, the Synod of the three Prussian pro vinces of Brandenburg, Pomerania, and Saxony, has elected the president of the commune of Breslaw to represent it. A letter from Bonn, of October 26, says All the Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of Germany have just received an invi tion from Rome, to have celebrated with pomp the approaching three.hundredth anniversary of the opening of the Council of Trent. These prelates have addressed to the cures circulars on this point, and to each circular they have adjoined for distribution a great number of copies of a catechism printed at Rome, at the end of which is found the text of the bull, anathematising Luther and his followers. These are significant acts, at a moment when religious questions assume each day greater gravity throughout the whole of Germany."

Secretary at War, the local companies of the Chatham District of Chelsea Pensioners are directed to assemble for drill, at head-quarters, in the following order :—First company, on Wednesday, the 12th instant, and the three following days ; the second company on Monday, the 17th instant, and the three consecutive days; and on the 21st both com panies will assemble together for drill at the same hour. Among the number of men discharged during the week was one of the name of William Evans, of the 2d Ride Brigade, who received his discharge after the lengthened service of 32 years and seven months, receiving a pension of 2s. 5 per day ; and although 47 years of age, he ap pears a young man. He was wounded severely at the battle of Wat terloo. He served eleven years In the Mediterranean, was in the Netherlands, and also in America, and the last three years he was the sergeant axd quartermaster-sergeant of the brigade. Ile has since his discharge been appointed one of her Majasty's Yeomen of the Guard. The laying down of wires underground from the electric telegraph of the Paris and Rouen Railroad to the Ministry of the Interior is sow completed. The Minister has already made use of this mode of communication, and the service is placed at the dis posal of all the departments of the Government wanting to send dis patches in that direction. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Nov. 7.—The sup plies of all grain are liberal, and a fair quantity of samples offering from vessels near at hand. There was a very limited business done to-day in all grain, •urutillers buying only to supply their immediate wants until the decision of the Government on the corn-laws be known. Prices of Wheat must be quoted Is. lower for old, and Is. to 2s. for new. Barley ls. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats sold at 4d. per stone, and Shelling Is. to 2s. per load less money. Beans rattier lower. In Malt no alteration. Robert Hall, Esq., barrister-at-law, has been ap pointed by Sir James Graham, Bart., to the office of Recorder for the borough ofDoncaster, in the room of the late Sir Gregory Lewin. The late James Johnson, M.D., of Suffolk-place, Pall-mall, late editor of the Medieo-Chirurgical Resist', has left to his eldest son, James Henry, his valuable library in Suffolk-place, and two-thirds of his interest in the said Review, and the remaining third to his son Athol, to whom he has also left all the unsold copies of works written by him, and all his interest in copyrights. To his wife, he has left the leasehold at Park Village West, with the furni ture, books, pictures, plate, &c., with a power of disposal and ap pointment. To his daughter, Georgiana, he las left a legacy. The' residue of his real and personal estate he leaves to his sons, the wife taking a life-interest in a considerable portion. The personal estate was sworn under 30,0001. OJIBBEWAT INDIANB.—The twelve Ojibbeway Indians, now hi Paris, were last week invited by Ills Majesty the King of the French, to his palace at St. Cloud, where they saw their Majesties, likewise the King and Queen of the Belgians, and all the Royal Family. They went through their war songs, dances, rifle and arrow-shooting, &c. ; and were most agreeably surprised at the appearance of an Indian canoe on the lake, which they most skil fully managed. Their feats and performances excited much interest, and gave great satisfaction to the royal party. The Indians were en tertained with an excellent repast, which they dexterously handled, not with impeding themselves by using knives and forks, but unso phisticatedly resorting to their fingers. Ills Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to order medals to be struck and presented to the chief, Mungandans, and the other Indian warriors, with which they are highly pleased and flattered. They were attended by Mr. Catlin, the artist and Indian traveller, whose valuable collection of Indian pictures and curiosities excited so much public attention in England; also by Mr. H. Percival, the American traveller and daguerreotype artist, who, is their conductor THE LATE SUICIDE IN JERSEY.—The investiga tion of the circumstances attending the melancholy suicide of Miss Bond was brought to a close on Monday. After a variety of evidence had been offered, for which we have no room, the jury retired to de liberate, and on their return delivered the following verdict :—" We are of opinion that Miss Emily Bond caused her own death by hang ing, whilst labouring under temporary insanity, and, front the evi dence before us, it appears, she was naturally a weak - minded person; . and we cannot but strongly censure the conduct of the editor of the Jersey Times for having written and inserted in that paper, on the 24th of October last, a paragraph entitled ' A Cruel Love Hoax'--a hoax having evidently been played off upon the said Miss Bond by some person or persons unknown."—Jersey Times. FRENCH PLATS.—Last evening these performances again attracted a fashionable audience, amongst whom we noticed the Earl of Cardigan, the Viscount and Lady Marian Alford, the Austrian Ambassador, Sir John and Lady Charlotte Guest, Lady Burgoyne and the Misses Burgeyne, Lady Wilson, Earl of Mtn-Wier, Mr. 11.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. hair, an assistant to the deceased, that on that day fortnight he was returning from town in company with the deceased at a late hour at night. When between the Sun in the Sands and the Earl Moira, on the Shooter's Hill-road, the deceased alighted from his gig, and in at tempting to ascend, the horse made a sudden start, and the deceased, who was not in good health, was thrown backwards on the ground. He was assisted into his gig, and at the time did not complain of any injury to his head, but only to his hip.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool this week, up to last night, were 15,970 bags. Prices have not varied much. Shares were very quiet, and prices were not supported. Another Gazette_ has been issued, and without the long expected order in Council, reducing the rates demanded upon the admission of foreign grain admitted for home con sumption. This delay upon so important a point is com plained of in all quarters. It affects the value of the public securities, by which almost all other species of property, whether real or personal, are influenced — it almost entirely puts an end to commercial enterprise, and most unquestionably is disorganizing the wholesome current of trade. Not a moment ought to be lost by the Premier in letting the public know what are really his inten tions. It is a subject of too much importance to brook further delay. The monopoly of the lords of the land must be attacked or public credit damaged. There has not been any late news announced in the City this morning. The Bank returns for the week ending Nov. 1, as per pre sent official notice, gives, upon an analysis_with the last, the following results : A decrease in the circulation of 148,5751., or to 27,267,1151. An increase in the rest of 12,320/., or to 3,224,453/. An inci ease in the public deposits of 163,396/. or to 4,487,058/. An increase in other deposits to 9,099,7371.

"An Old Subscriber's" wish shall be attended to as often as practicable. The occasional omission arose from a more than ordinary press of popular matter. i' - ! , ' - 'itening 'Ant LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1845, We have every reason to fear that there are but small hopes of a peaceful settlement of differences between this country and the United States of America. We pretend to no superior information on this important question, but judge from circumstances and for reasons which may enable any one, tolerably well-informed, to come to .a conclusion. Arrangements have been in progress for some time, and are now nearly completed, for embodying the militia whenever it may seem fit for the Privy Council to issue an order to that effect. This measure, we arc inclined to think, depends entirely on the result of negotiations now going on, both in London and Washington, respecting the Oregon territory and the recent occupation of Texas; and should it be un favourable, a trial of strength will be the only resort. The policy of the Cabinet has led the public, or ought to have led them, to such an alternative. Last session, on the motion of Sir ROBERT PEEL, large sums were voted for increasing the strength of the navy, building steam-boats, and fortifying the coasts. The activity exhibited in our dock yards since the vote was agreed to, and even before, shows that there must be some strong cause for this new vigour and warlike display ; and on looking at our relations with all the nations of Europe and America, we find only one against which these preparations can be directed. England is on the most amicable terms with France ; their fleets are operating together in the New World, their policy with regard to the occupation of Texas is the same ; there is not, in fact, one point of difference or one ground of quarrel between them. All the other States of Europe, we rejoice to say, are either well- inclined towards England, or are so insignificant with respect to power, that they can afford no grounds whatever for these demonstra tions. With America, however, there arc serious matters of dispute, and from the deliberate and official declarations of the representatives of the two countries, we can hardly see how they can be settled amicably. Both TYLER and Pour. have declared to Congress that they claim the whole of the Oregon territory, and, not satisfied with that, recommended therepre sentatives of the people to lose no time in voting supplies and adopting measures for putting an end to all doubt on the question, by establishing stations and forts on the route across the mountains, and taking possession of the whole of the Columbia river. Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Earl of ABERDEEN were no less explicit in reply and in their places in Parliament announced that they could admit no such occupation; that their resolution to resist it was formed, and that they were prepared to maintain it• Their brief addresses were loudly cheered by all parties in the Lords and Commons. They cannot recede, for the nation is with them, and after such a display of vigour would be denounced as poltroons and betrayers of the rights of England, if they should yield one inch of territory either to the diplomatic skill of Mr. LANE, or the lawless aggressions of a fierce and unrestrained democracy. itek raothill is eisposea to yield. There are old recollections as well as present quarrels to foster a hostile feeling. In the wars England has waged with America she has little to boast of. She was shamefully defeated in the war of independence; she obtained some trophies, brilliant we admit, in the war of 1813 and 1814 ; but she was sadly humbled in her encounters with America on the Canadian Lakes. The army of Sir GEORGE PREVOST was uttlerly defeated—he died of shame and in dis grace on his voyage home, and a peace was patched up which reflected little credit on England, exalted the vanity of the republicans, and made both the naval and military services of England dissatisfied with the result, and anxious for another opportunity of vindicating their honour and bravery. The Americans believe that they ban beat us as they have hitherto done. We, on the other hand, are contldent of our strength ; we have no victories to boast of which can allow us to show magnanimous indifference; the inrosas of the sympathisers on the peaceable inhabitants of Canada, the deceitful occupation of Texas, and the threatened occupation of a territory long in undisputed possession of the North-West Canadian Company, together with threats of seizing other vast tracts, to which the Americans have no right whatever—all combine to put this country on her right, and compel her to fight for every inch of bare rock with as much determination as fur the most valuable possession. But there are other circumstances, too, that add to the difficulties of the crisis. If Poex and his Cabinet were inclined to yield to reason, and settle the dispute on amicable and honourable terms, they have not the power. They, in fact, have little or no influence on the Western States. These are beyond their reach, yet they can influence their decisions ; they are resolved to "go ahead" at all risks, safe alike from the armies and fleets of England, unrestrained by laws or treaties, or the usually admitted compacts of civilised nations. They care as little for the Congress of Washington as the Parliament of London, and will go on in their course until they meet with a power that can bring them to reason. For men of this stamp-the River Columbia is an acquisition of the first im portance, since the trade with China has been thrown open by the gallant achievements of British soldiers and sailors. They could thus monopolise the whole of the fur trade with ONE O'CLOCK FAICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS.
