It appears that an anonymous letter had been rent from some part of Tipperary to Mr. lintuasia)rough, coos of the resident or stipendiary magistrate:, in re, county of - Cork; - apprising him that a conspiracy with this die b•.,lical object existed. Mr. Knareaborough forwarded the anonymous letter to Archbishop Murray, who looked upon the matter either as a mischievous hoax, or a scheme to deceive the magistrate. The Monitor of yesterday evening contained the fol lowing : " The greatest excitement prevailed in this city yes terday, in consequence of a rumour having been exten siv,ly circulated and generally credited, of a conspiracy having been discovered to Tipperary, the object of which was to murder his Grace Dr. Murray. As may be naturally expected, such a rumour spread like wildfire, and created the greatest excitement. F..r our own pact, we attached no credence to it whatever ; the thing was so improbable —so outrageously extravagant, that we could nut bring ourselves to consider it is any serious light. However, as the statement was confidently re peated, we made some inquiries to ascertain whether there was any foundation for it, and we believe that the &flowing may be relied on as correct:— " A magistrate in the county of Cork received an anonymous letter, the purport of which was that • three devils,' as the writer said, had agreed t• - ) take the life of his Grace Doctor Murray; and the writer requested the magistrate to go at once and put Dr. Murray ou his guard. 'the letter was from Tipperary, and of course the magistrate enclosed it to Dr. Murray, stating the manner in which it came into his possession. " Such, we believe, may he relied on as a cornet ac count of the circumstances which gave ri,e to the rumour which ha's caused such a sematien in this city. We confess we do not at present attach much importairce to tha statement. We are itajined to think that some mis chievous person in Tipperary has been at work— that he wrote the anonymous letter to the, magistrate, who cer tainly acted very properly in forwarding it to Doctor Murray. " We repeat we cannot bring ourselves to believe that eve': aioong the diabolical ruffians of Tipperary theta could he found three Heads in human shape to conspire to take tkie life of sut h a venerated prelate as Doctor Murray—and for whpt ? For merely acting according to his conscientious judgment in support of the Catholic Church, of which he is one of its brightest ornaments."

It is also remarkable that the line in that direction originally contemplated and submited to Parliament was laid down so as to save the distance now to be curtailed at so great a cost, but local interests prevailed at the time over the direct principle, and carried the line round by Birming ham. Successive alterations, at great cost, it is well known, have also been made, or are about to be made, in several other principal lines, viz„ in the original Birmingham and Liverpool, the Bir mingham and Manchester, the Manchester and Leeds, the South- Eastern, and others ; all of which alterations must be considered fh,IouTFLIVESTERN RAILWAY EXTEN -1.7 SION THROUGH LAMBETH.

LINE OF RAILWAY When the Direct Northern Railway was first announced to the public its promoters pledged themselves to the principle of forming a hue of ralway between London and York as direct as the nature of the country would admit. The announcement of this principle was most fitrourably received, and assurances of support were given to the Committee by numerous parties possessing influence on the line, and others practically ac quainted with the results of railway communication, who were desirous of seeing this great means of public convenience and welfare, in this instance, rightly applied. The direct principle claimed also the sup port of all that portion of the population of the United Kingdom north of York, whose course of personal communication or of correspon dence lay through that city, and the Committee had great satisfaction in finding this claim warmly responded to. Since that period the Committee have been actively engaged in perfecting the numerous preliminary details essential :for making good their position as applicants for legislative sanction to their measure. Until these were completed, and until the scope of the JOHN )3ALLARD BYRON, Esq., in the Chair, It was moved by JOHN Suss, E;q., seconded by THOMAS Gaissim, rag., and Resolved unanimously,—That the extension line of railway pto. po , ed to be carried by the South. Western Company through Lambeth to the Belvidere.road, appears to this meeting calculated to produce the most beneficial results to the interests of the district intended to be intersected, clearing away, as is suggested, a large portion of the worst.built and least valuable of the house property in the borough without interference with any buildings of importance, and tending to great improvement in the character of the erections that are likely to be substituted in contiguity to the line, in dependently of such as the Company must construct upon the site of the proposed station.

But now that the Committee have complied with all the requirements incumbent on them, and that' they are in every respect prepared to prosecute their application to Parliament at the commencement of the ensuing session, and since, also, the competing schemes have been fully developed in all their details, they conceive that the time has arrived when it is their duty to bring the particular merits of their proposal more prominently be, fore the public, and to challenge a comparison between it and the others which are in the held. 7 Please to - he accurate in copying the Address, to pievent impoai tion, the Company haying KO connexion with any other Establish ment but that in Esher-street.

A •j,, { ii ~..anistet witi. post g ill t ~.,2 i tt. pro , ,oz Ito AttY knoIiGATN The principle above stated, of taking the most direct line to York that the nature of the country admits of, has been steadily kept in view, and the following results have been obtained : The actual distance from London to York by the proposed line is only 1761 miles, to Stamford 811, to Lincoln 1211, to Gains. borough 134, to Selby 165, and to Hull, by the proposed Gains borough and New Holland line, 166. The main trunk at York is carried onward by a bridge over the York and North Midland Rail. way, and joins the Great North of England line at a point about a mile and a half beyond the city of York, for the purpose of avoid ing the detention that now occurs to onward passengers, whether proceeding north or south. This mode of crossing the York and North Midland line has been adopted in conformity with the following recommendation con tained in the fourth report of the Railway Commissioners in 1841 (p. 43) :—" We consider it improper that the traffic of any new line should open upon the York and North Midland Railway, with which so many lines are already in connexion as to render delayun. avoidable, and collision not improbable. In consequence of the numerous trains of luggage and passengers using this line nearly two hours are sometimes occupied in passing over a littlemere than thirty miles from York." Notwithstanding the opinion thus de cidedly expressed, the proposed competing line of the London and York comes upon the YOld and North Midland Railway in the very mariner objected to by the Railway Commissioners as likely to lead to danger and certain to cause delay. The Direct Northern line supplies the benefit of railway inter course to a very large district of country intermediate between the midland counties and the sea, which has hitherto been left unpro. vided in that respect; and takes its course through nearly the centre of that district at a distance varying from eighteen to forty miles from the lines proceeding north from Rugby. It cannot, therefore, be held to interfere needlessly with the interests of these lines, which, although they have conferred great benefits on the wealthy and populous districts they connect, were not originally intended to be carried to York, and cannot consequently be re garded as furnishing such a communication as in the due applica tion of railway power the public have a right to expect. The subject should be considered also in relation to cross lines or branches which may now or may hereafter be proposed to tra verse the same country as the Direct Northern, and to become con. nected with it, as the progress of industry and of population may require, and on this point the Committee believe that the best main trunk line having been rightly chosen on the principle of direct communication,that principle will be found to afford every facility for the ad vantageous working and connexion of such lateral lines o as the amount of local traffic may hereafter demand. floes they etant subject—viz., the relations of probable future bra nches, has re ce i ved the serious consideration of the Committee, and of lateral lines, so as to arrange them with the main line to the best advantage, and to render the communication, both direct and lateral ' as p erf ect as possible. But they do not propose to sacrifice to the local c onvenience of a town of a few thousand inhabitants (which may by other means be provided for), the interests, both as regards time and cost, of the large masses of population that lie at and beyond the termini of the line. On this ground the Provisional Committee confidently rely on receiving from the northern counties of England, and from ti.e whole of Scotland, cordial co-operation and support. The gradients are of a very favourable description, as the section demonstrates, and they are obtained at a moderate expense. The tunnels will be four in number, the longest being 1,450 yards in length. and the aggregate length of the whole four less than one mile and two-thirds. No engineering works of great magnitude or difficulty occur, ornamental property is avoided, and the drainage of the fen country will not be interfered with. The gunge will be the same as that of existing railways north of London, and the line being for its whole length under one management, a higher average and more equal rate of speed may be attained and ren. ,dered compatible with safety, than can exist on lines where the 'frequent change of Companies renders vexatious delay unavoidable, superintendence difficult, and rearonsibility incomplete. %Vher. ever the Direct Northern may be connected with other lines, every arrangement that experience has pointed out, or that a careful study of the question can suggest, will be adopted to ensure the safety and convenience of the public. It is without doubt a most important consideration in regard to safety as well as speed that the control and arrangement of the traffic of a line of great magnitude should be subjected to one go verning body, as has been most forcibly urged in a communication made to the Railway Commissioners by the Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway Company. (See Fourth Report of Rail• way Commissioners, 1641. Appendix, page 10.) In regard to the cost of working, it needs no argument to prove that, where gradients are the same, the shortest line through a given country will be the cheapest worked, and that if the capital required for its construction be the same per mile, the shortest line will be the cheapest to the public. • • The Committee believe that a general con►iction now prevails that, for the purpose of communication between the metropolis and the north, a new and independent line of railway is required between London and York, and they assume that such a work will certainly receive the sanction of Parliament. It can be proved that a better engineering line may be made to York 42: miles shorter than that which at present exists; that by thus shortening the distance, and avoiding the delays that necessarily attend the transference of traffic from one line to another (the present line belonging to four Companies), the time consumed in the journey to York may be reduced from nine hours and upwards to less than six hours, without any increase of speed, and likewise that the fares and freight of goods may be considerably lowered. These facts appear to the Committee to be conclusive in favour of their undertaking, and they look to public opinion to confirm and support their views, . _ _ In comparing the proposed Direct Northern line with other schemes, the following most important fact should be kept in view, viz :—Every additional mile cf railway distance is equivalent to a tax amounting to the fare charged per mile for every passenger and ton of goods conveyed, that is to say, approximating on an average to %I. per mile each way, besides the time lost in the transit. • -5; : §• E :4 .5 !), .° .° 2 .2 0 55 g z -4 -3 5 ^J 2S 5 00c0 c 2 o g 14 ,71 It is thus clear, that upon the amount of traffic which on the most moderate estimate will pass over the line, an impost on the public of many thousands per annum (independently of the sacri fice of time to passengers, and of delay in the transmission of mails) would be perpetuated by any needless elongation of the line. Another consideration wi:l present it-elf to parties who are inte rested in existing railways, and should be kept in view by those disposed to invest their property in new ones, •iz., that lines which are circuitous, and therefore capable of improvement, and liable to he interfered with by other parties, must become depreciated in value whenever public accommodation may demand that improve ment, and that consequently lines on the direct principle alone can be regarded as a permanent property. A striking illustration of the progress which the direct prin. ciple is making, and of the importance of saving a few miles on the main line of a railway, is most opportunely &Corded by the A HLSE ON MEDICAL GALVANISM. "Mr. HALSE, late of this county, but now of s,:Pelharn. crescent, Brompton, London, has lately published a pamphlet on MEDICAL GALVANISM, the contents of which have really astonished us. If it be true that galvanism can accomplish such cures as are there stated, the galvanic apparatus must take as corn. tnanding a position over medical science as the steam-engine does over mechanical science. It is true that galvanism has long been resorted to as a remedial agent, but the old form of batteries were so uncertain in their action as to almost do as much harm as th , y did good. Mr. liaise, like a true philosopher, conceived that it may be possible to select the good and discard the evil effects of the apparatus, and after years of intense study he has accomplished what he desired—viz., to regulate the power of the galvanic apparatus to the greatest nicety. We consider this to rank as the greatest improvement which has ever been made in the galvanic battery. In the pamphlet we noticed an extract from the Shipping and' Mercantile Gazette' of March 14. We extract this article for the benefit of invalids:—' Our readers may have noticed several extracts we have given from Mr. Halse's pam. phlet on Medical Galvanism. We have reason to believe that every case stated lti that pamphlet is perfectly true, wonderful as they cer tainly are; for, a short time since, we called on Mr. Halve, and were introduced to him by a gentleman who was undergoing the operation. The patient informed us that it was not at all an unpleasant sensa tion, indeed we felt it ourselves, and there was not the least un pleasantness about it. This gentleman's case was paralysis, and he declared to us that before he came to Mr. Halse one leg had withered away to a mere skeleton ; but now,' said he, ' you perceive it is both stout and healthy.' Such, indeed, was the case. If we can judge by the number of patients Mr. Heise has, we should say he is making some very wonderful cures, for his house is crowded from morning till night. As he invites invalids to send to him for his pamphlet on Medical Galvanism, we recommend them to do so-- he forwards it gratuitously. His resioence is at 5, Pelham-cres. cent, Brampton, London.' "—Exeter Flying Post. as adoptions of, or approximations to, the direct principle. The Committee arc confident that neither the Legislature nor • the Board of Trade will now sanction a line from London to York on merely local grounds, but will regard the question as one of general national importance. For it is evident that all persons to the south of the London terminus, or the north of the York ter. minus, who desire to travel or transmit goods in either direction, have a clear interest in the formation of the shortest through line, and (for example), while it may be for the convenience of persons residing at Peterborough, when they wish to travel or send goods to London, that the main trunk should be brought round by that town, it is equally clear that it is not for their convenience that it should bend round by Grantham, Newark, and Doncaster, when they wish to trawl or send goods to York, any more than it is for the convenience of persons residing at Grantham, Newark, and Doncaster, to be carried round by Peterborough, or any other of the other towns, when they wish to travel or send goods to London. In short, nothing but the direct principle (facilities for lateral branches being always provided) resolves the question of general aggregate convenience. It has been stated that the Direct Northern line does not accom. modate the same amount of local population as the proposed London and York ; but, by reference to the plans of both Companies, it will be seen that this is not the fact, and that all the towns of im portance on the route (Doncaster not excepted) are brought nearer to the metropolis and to York, and to places intermediate, by means of the Direct Northern, than by the London and York, with the single exception of Peterborough, to communicate wit' which the Direct Northern avails itself of the Northampton and Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham Rail way, now nearly completed, which it crosses at the distance of four miles and a half from Peterborough, making the total distance from London to Peterborough only about a mile greater than by the London and York—a result obtained by the latter Company at a considerable elongation of their main line, detrimental to the locality itself in its traffic northward, and_ generally to the cha. racter of the line. The Committee forbear to introduce into this statement other topics which they might urge (such as the priority on their part in the proposal of a direct line from London to York, which priority has been clearly established), as these might, perhaps, divert atten. tion from the strength of their main position, upon which they are content that their claim to legislative preference and to public sup port shall rest, viz., that, compared with all other proposed under takings for the same object, theirs presents a great preponderance of national advantage, while, at the same time, it is the most secure as a profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, and in brief recapitulation of the more promi nent grounds on which the Committee rely for the sanction of the Legislature to their undertaking as a national line, they beg to sub mit the following propositions, and they court the most searching inquiry into their truth and value :- 1. That an independent direct line between London and York is required by the public, and will command a sufficient traffic to yield an ample return. 2. That the interests of a large proportion of the population of England, and of the whole of Scotland, require that the moat di. rect line should be adopted. 3. That the Direct Northern not only satisfied these conditions by being the shortest line between London and York, but it Is preferable by the character of its gradients, and its economical con struction. 4. That the line being the shortest and cheapest possible, pas. sengers and goods may be carried by it at a lower rate of charge than by any other. S. That the primary object of shortening the distance is attained by the Direct Northern, with due regard to intermediate and local interests, and without needlessly interfering with the traffic of existing lines. 6. That as a question of investment of capital, it is essential that the most direct line should be taken to prevent future com petition, or expensive alterations for the protection or improvement of she original line, and that consequently none but direct lines can constitute a permanent property.

STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 3, GEORGE.STREET, EDINBURGH, 8e , KING WILLIAM.STREET, LONDON. The NINETEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING was held on Monday, the 16th of December, in terms of the Act of Parliament by which the Company is constituted— GEORGE PATTON, Esq., in the Chair. The Report and Statements as to the affairs of the Company submitted au this occasion were highly satisfactory to all connected with the Institution ; and the Chairman, in an address to the Meet ing, directed particular attention to the following very gratifying results : The number of Policies issued singly during the year is 562. The Assurances proposed to the Company during the year exceed the large sum of HALF A MILLION STERLING—the Assurances effected being nearly 400,0001., adding from that source alone about 13,500/. per annum to the Company's revenue from Premiums. Large transactions have also been effected in other departments of the business. The Company's investments continued to be upheld at a high rate of interest on unexceptionable security, chiefly Government and Heritable, and notwithstanding the great increase of the Company's funds, the return secured still shows an advantage of nearly 2 1 . per cent. in favour of the Company above the rate calculated on in their Tables for Life Assurance. The number of lives which have fallen during the year amount only to one per cent. on the number of the Assured standing on the books. AND, IN ADDITION TO THESE RESULTS, The Company have added, by an advantageous arrangement, 927 policies to their lists, through a transference of the business of the YORK AND LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY. The Reports and Statements were unanimously approved of; and the Chairman, after drawing attention to the important posi tion which the Company now occupy among the Assurance Insti. tutions of this country, and the fact of the Company never having disputed or compromised a claim, concluded by congratu lating all parties on the satisfactory results exhibited, and took the opportunity of calling attention to the important fact that the THIRD DIVISION of PROFITS among the Policy Holders was to take place in November, 1845. He was certain that the advan. tage of joining the Participation Scheme of the Company, before the balance was struck, would not be lost sight of by intending assurers, and he felt confident that there would be much reason for further congratulation when they next met together. The MANAGEMENT was declared to stand as follows for the ensuing year : covEßNnit. Hic Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH and QUEENSIIERRY DRPITTY.GOVRRNOR. The Right Hon. the Earl of ELGIN and KINCARDINE.

" We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com. plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical protession, for what reason we are at a lost n know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every °tie who is the victim of past folly, or suffer. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age arid Argue. " The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatineNt of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

There are many thousand seamen in the merchant service who will come under the jurisdiction of the new Act, in which are several provisions respecting the performance of their duties, and the punishment prescribed for negligence or desertion. By the Gth section it is declared that in case a seaman, whether before the commencement or during the progress of any voyage, shall at any time neglect or refuse to join the ship on board of which he shall have engaged to serve, or shall refuse to proceed to sea in such ship, or shall absent himself therefrom without leave, or shall desert, it shall he lawful for any justice of the peace in her Majesty's dominions or the territories under the Government of the East India Company, upon complaint made upon oath by the master, mate, or owner, or his agent, to issue his warrant, and cause such seaman to be apprehended and brought before him ; and in case such seaman shall not give a reason to the satisfaction of such justice for his neglect, re fusal, or absence, or in case of desertion, it shall be lawful, upon due proof of such neglect, refusal, or desertion, to commit such seaman to prison or to house . of correction, with or without hard labour, at the discretion of the justice, for a period not exceeding 30 days; or it shall be lawful for the said justice, if he shall so think fit, at the re quest of the master, mate, or owner, or his agent, instead of committing such seaman, to cause him to be conveyed on board the said ship, or to delivered to either of the parties men tioned, for the purpose of being so conveyed, and proceeding on the voyage, and also to award to the master or owner such costs incurred in the apprehen sion of the seaman as shall seem reasonable, not ex ceeding 4Cs., which shall be chargeable against, and may be deducted from, the wages of such seaman ; and whenever any seaman shall be committed to prison, the justice shall cause his register-ticicet to be delivered to the keeper of the prison, who shall retain the same during the imprisonment of the seaman, and, at its expiration, return the same ; and whenever a seaman shall be sentenced to death or transportation the officer having the custody of such seaman shall transmit his register-ticket to the registrar of sea men. By other provisions, it is enacted that absence from the ship, or otherwise from duty, shall subject a seaman to forfeit two days' pay, an 1 in case of deser tion, his clothes and effects on board are to be for feited. A penalty of 101. is provided for harbouring a deserter. No debt exceeding ss. incurred by any seaman after he shall have engaged to serve, shall be recoverable until the service agreed for shall have been concluded, nor can any seaman's effects be detained under pretence of a debt ; and in case of such detention, the offender be liable to a penalty not exceeding 10/. These several provisions (and there are others to enforce the right of seamen against the master and owners) to take effect from Wednesday last. The Marquis of Cholmondeley last week gave his annual munificent donation to the indigent on the Noble Lord's Cheshire estates, causing to be distributed to three hundred and fifty families fifteen pounds of good beef each, half a bushel of wheat, and 2s. 6d. in money. EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL OF SHIPPING AT LIVE RrooL.—From Friday morning last up to last night upwards of 200 ve , sels have reached this port, the majo rity- of which have been detained outside by the late easterly winds. The departures have also been rath er more numerous than usual, considering the westerly winds, 31 vessels having sailed on Friday, and 23 on Saturday. The docks and dock quays have assumed a very different appearance to that which they exhibited at the middle of last week, and for some time pre v i ous l y.— Liverpool Paper of Tuesday. - - - - The anniversary dinner of this excellent institution took place on W ednesday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. It was attended by a numerous and very respectable ,assemblage, who evinced a warm interest in the admirable objects for which the society was established, namely—contributing in various forms to the support and protection of the less fortu nate members of the Scottish nation resident in London. The appearance of the assembly was ren dered peculiarly brilliant and interesting by the pre sence of a large number of the fair sex, and the picturesque garb of several gentleman who attended the dinner in full Highland costume. At half-past ' 1 six o'clock about 130 sat down to dinner, which was provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breache in that supe rior manner that characterises their establishment. James Wylie, Esq., in the chair. The usual loyal and national preliminary toasts having been given, Mr. BOUCELER said that the object of the Caledonian Society was to co-operate with other benevolent asso ciations in London which had for their object the • benefit and advantage of poor natives of Scotland and their children, and amongst the most valuable of those institutions he might name the Caledonian Asylum, the Scottish Hospital, and the Highland School • Society. Those - associations had conferred the great est possible advantages upon hundreds of their fellow countrymen and their offspring, and it ought to be • the desire of every friend of Scotland to supoort them. —(Hear, hear.) The object of this society w::s to co-operate with all those institutions, by subscriptions and otherwise ; and there could not be a greater ser vice rendered to their less fortunate countrymen. Many an unfortunate son of Scotland had been relieved in the hour of his distress by these institutions'; and many a child of Scottish parents had been brought up at their schools in such a manner as not only to enable them to provide for themselves in life, but to reflect honour upon the name of Scotland.—(Loud cheers.) The purpose of the present meeting was rather to assemble in a social and festive spirit ; but he could not avoid taking that opportunity of briefly adverting to the nature and purpose of the Caledonian Society. As he said that its object was co-operation with other benevolent institutions, he could not do anything more in accordance with the views of its members than to propose the health of the gentlemen from those other societies who hadthat night honoured them with their presence. The toast was drunk with much applause. The next toast was " The Caledonian Society," which was drunk with Highland honours. • Several other national toasts were proposed and drunk, amongst which was " The Memory of Burns," given in a touching and eloquent manner by the Chairman, and responded to by the w sembly with much feeling. Various Scottish songs were sung during the even ing, and the company separated at a late hour. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, JAN. 7.—Her Majesty's packet Crane, Lieutenant Lewis commander, has arrived direct with mails from Rio Ile Janeiro this afternoon. Her dates are Pernambuco the 11th, and Bahia the 16th of October, and Rio the 26th of November. She brings on freight about 36,0001., and four passengers, includ ing Captain 'Willis, late of Her Majesty '3 ship Frolic. The exchange at Rio was 25. There is no news of importance by this conveyance, matters remaining in state quo at the seat of Govern ment. At Maceio there had been some little out break of the ordinary Brazilian character, to check which a new President, Senor Lopez Gama, and a considerable number of troops, had been dispatched in the Regeneracio corvette, with two brigantines, and two steamers, and it was expected that the province would be speedily pacified. The English brig John Dalton, from Sydney, was driven on shore in a gale of wind, on Cape Negro, the 16th of November, and the mails which were transmitted the next day to Rio de Janeiro, are brought to England by the Crane. Her Majesty's ships Frolic, Viper, and Spider, were ordered to proceed to render assistance, and by the latst accounts before the Crane sailed the vessel was expected to be got off with little damage. A la ' y passenger, reported- to be called Stevens or Stevenson, had been unfortunately drowned. (here were at Rio when the Crane left—Her Ma jesty's ships Alfred, Collingwo(d, Dolphin, and Cres cent : the French corvette Coquette, and the Aineri- I can frigate Raratan and corvette Boston. The Express packet, from Falmouth, arrived out at Rio de Janeiro on the 18th of November, and her Majesty's schooner Cockatrice sailed for Portsmouth the 11th eoden►. Accordinz to the Rio Mercantile Journal of No vember 23, business in imports has been dull in the extreme during the week, particularly as regards the most important articles, such as flour, piece-gouda, and wines. The arrivals with cargoes consist of 2 vessels with coals, 1 with deals, 1 with fish oil, 3 with flour, 1 with jerked beef, 1 with lumber and dry goods,s with salt, 1 with wax and oil, 2 with wine, 1 with wine and sundries, and 4 with sundries. In coffee the business had been moderate during the week, and prices had been fully supported, second good and first ordinary being quoted, the former Mrs., the latter 50rs. in advance of the previous price. The sales of the week may be estimated at 20,000 bags. Of these there were exported-5,253 bags to Antwerp, 3,535 to Baltimore, 3,017 to Bos ton, 4,104 to Bremen, 1,673 to the Cape of Good Hope, 3,932 to Falmouth, 3,260 to liamburgh, 2 860 to Malta, 1,625 to Marseilles, 8,598 to New York, 2,064 to Philadelphia, 20 to River Plate; in all (16th to 22d) 39,941 bags. Shipped since Ist instant, 103,463 bags. The quantity of sugar arrived was 437 cases of Campos, and 240 bags and barrels of Pernams ; the sales for export were about 1,500 barrels for the River Plate, and for consumption about 160 cases. Ex ported-1 case to Africa, and 19 to the Cape. In hides considerable activity has prevailed during the week, in which the market was cleared. 16,500 heavy, old stock, were taken at 170 rs. ; 11,300 as sorted, heavy, medium, and light, at 190 rs. ; and, this day, 6,250 at about the same price, establishing our quotations of 180 rs. heavy, 195 rs. medium, 205 to 21Ors. light. A fair amount of business has been done in freights, at about previous quotations. Large vessels have been taken somewhat below the current rates. In the Money Market discounts have been steady at 7 per cent. In exchange, part of the transactions usually ef fected for the packet took place prior to the departure of the Cockatrice, since when the market has been flat at 25 / i to 25 upon London. Altogether about 80,0001. has been negotiated, of which 25,0001. at 25i, the remainder at 25d., the closing quotation this day. Upon Paris 80,000 f. has been passed at 373 and 375, principally at 375. The business upon Hamhurgh has been trivial, at 700 rs. Stock steady at 73, at which several sales have been effected. Within the last few days before the Crane left several purchases of bullion had been made for ex port, and the value both of silver and doubloons has ad van -.ed. SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. B. The Oriental steaia packet, Captain Soy, arrived at 10 A. m. this day, at the Motherbank, from Alexandria. The East India and China mails, consisting of 53 boxes, were brought ashore in a small steamer, and forwarded to London by the one o'clock train. Her dates are—Alexandria, Dec. 23, and Malta, 28th. The Oriental has a full cargo of silks. &e., an.l sixty-three passengers. Her Majesty's ship was at Alexandria, and several men of war beleng;ng to the Paeba of Egypt. Her Majesty's ship Scout, two Danish men of war, one Danish steamer, three Swedish men of war, and one French corvette, were at Gibraltar. The Oriental is expected to be released on Friday from quarantine. The Royal Tar will take out this week's Peninsular mails, and will leave for Gibraltar at three P.M. to-morrow. The Duke of Pulmella arrived here on Monday in the Royal Tar, and left the same evening in the Grand Turk, for Havre. FIRE AT CLERK ENNV ELL.—Yesterday morning, shortly before one, a fire of unusual fierceness was dis covered by police-constable Nicholls u p on t h e extensive i premse s known as the Princess Royal, in St. John's street-road, at the corner of Corporation-row. When first perceived, the flames had obtained a strong hold of the bar and parlour, and they were bursting through the fanlight. Fortunately one of the fire-escapes, which was stationed in the vi c i n i ty, was taken in front of the flaming premises, and two females and a male were taken down the same. Several engines soon arrived, the sup ply of water was ample, and the firemen made great ex ertions ; but their efforts were in vain. The interior of the building was entirely destroyed, and even the walls are in a tottering state. At one time it was reported that a young man had perished, but it was subsequently believed that he had not returned home when the fire commenced. The origin of the calamity is unknown. The Foundling Chapel, which has been the source of attraction for the last eighty years, is now closed on Sunday evenings, and an afternoon service has been substituted. " The Monitor seems either not to be cognisant of the fact, or carefully to conceal it—that this rumour was whispered about for some days, and that the calm-Jinja tors of OW' land—those who would affix upon our noble, our generous people, the contemplation of a crime of de.paT die than -any wherewith our Saxon taskmasters ever sought to blacken the fair fame of our country-- sought in vain to get currency fur their guilty lie, till a rasa clergyman, connected with Westland. row Catholic church, perhaps in mistalctu affection for the Must lice. Prelate whose name" was mixed up with this foul fraud—perhaps through over-heated zeal for the new doctrines lie has espoused, that the clergy should be come the tools of the Castle, or, perhaps, to demon strate the working of Cast!e connexion—was found en Sunday last to give publicity to the aspersions against his countrymen, which he, at least, should have inquired into before lie promulgated." The Dublin Evening Pust of this afternoon contains the following:— " A rumour has been bruited abroad, to the effect that a Tipperary magistrate wrot, to Archbishop Murray of a horrible plot that he had detected—the object of the conspirators being to murder his Graice, because he had become one of the Commi_ssioners under the Bequests Act. It is even said that tl,e matter was alluded to from the pulpit of one of the Catholic churches in this city. Now, we do not know that we should think it worth our while to allude to this matter at all, if we had not learned that Mr. Knaresburough, a magistrate of Cork, had sent a letter to Arcl:bishop Murray, enclosing an anonymous note, manifestly a fabrication, in which it was said that such a conTiracy was in progress. On this information, Doctor Mioray, as a sensible man, could lay no stress whatever. his Grace, we dare say, saw was a trick of the enemy. Why it was gotten ups.-whyt, such a flagitious libel on the country has been put into circulation—with all our knowledge of the characters of your little mischievous poloical folk with which the city is infested, we really cannot make out. That it is as Orange lie, we believe—hut, nevertheless, the Evening Mail, though the editor must have heard the rumour, gabby as it is and virulent, deemed it more advisable, for the present, to be silent. But we are wasting too much time o.) the • falsehood.' " THE CHARITABLE BEQUESTS COMMISSION. At the first meeting of tIL Commissioners under the Charitable Bequests Act, at their office in Lower Gar dener-street, the folloning six commissioners were in attendance :—The Most Rev. Dr. Whatley, the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, the Lord Chief Baron, the Master of the Rolls, Sir Patrick Bellew, Bart., and the Right Hon. A. R. Blake.

MEE l INU OF TEE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY OF D U BUN. A r:hbisho. Murray is about to convene a meeting of the (,:orgy -eese of Dub for the purpose of pebitioning the Legislature to expunge from the Eman cipation Act the clauFe affecting the r. gu!ar clergy, which is referred to in tile Bequests' Act. In Archbishop Murray's recent pastoral address, he condemned, in very decided terms, the clv.ute against the regular clergy, against which he and his clergy had unavailingly peti tioned in 1829. INCREASED GRANT TO MAYNOOTIL The Erening Post says---" The Ministry are now in a favourable position or proposing a liberal grant for col le;_Yiat,) education in Ireland, on a system embracing ",Ltholic-; and Diss; nters, and fur giving to Maynooth a trant in some degree commensurate to the claims of the Catholics of Ireland for the education of their clergy. Indeed, we have some reason to believe that the Premier has already decided on such a step." BRIGHTON-WEDNESDAY. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ely, the Ladies Catherine and Ann Loftus, and Lord Henry Loftus, after a stay of about two months at the Clarence Mansion, Marine-parade, took their departure this morning for London. Mr. Baron Gurney intends to pass a few weeks in Brighton, as soon as a suitable residence can be engaged for him. We regret to hear that his Lordship is still indisposed.

Viscount Lake went to town on Monday, but is ex pected to return in a few days. Among our arrivals of note is "General Tom Thumb," who has been exhibiting at the Town-hall to-day to well-filled rooms.

DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY. ke into consi 1, St'NDEaLAND, s pecial general mee , t as ing he o ld f this the day Durham int and ESxuenhdaenrgl Exchange-buildings, Railwaygs, to Company t a deration the propriety of alt erin g the IllOtlQ agre e d upon at the last special mee tin g of the Com pany for issuing the new shares proposed to be cre ated fer the purpos e p o r t' , ,eplatei sin b ri u tig and locomotive extending enginesthe in line and of a l apt i ng it to n stead of ropes draw n by stationary engines. C H RISTOPHER BRAMWELL, Esq.,the Chairman of th e Company, briefly stated the business to be considered, which was, that a late special meeting it was agreed to raise the capital of 180,0001. required tor the new works, and other requisite changes connected with the working of the line, by the issuing of 6,000 new shares, at 30/. each, the subscribers of which were to be guaranteed 5 per cent. per annum for Cicir capital till the pi oposed alterations came into operation, when the whole of the new shares were to merge in the common stock of ft(-• C9witany, and the new and old Shareholders were then to participate alike in the profits and liabilities o the entire line. It was now proposed that this planf should be cancelled, and that the new shares should be issued at 401. each, to the extent of four thousand five hundred, and that the present Proprietors should hare the option of taking them in proportion to the shares now held by each in the Company ; and that the new shares of 401. each so created should have a guarantee in perpetuity secured to them of five per cent. per tinnem interest, reserving also to the new Shareholders tine right of participating in any greater dividend that may at any time be realised from the profits of the railway. F, ;Mr. J. J. WRIGHT, in a long and energetic speech, advocated the adoption of this plan, and submitted a re solution to carry it into effect, which was seconded by Mr. T. Reed, and cordially received by the meeting. Mr. W. J.
