To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected linen, as far as practicable, and the chain of cemmunica tio:t will be c!impleted by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway Ihe communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be ear, ted forward as tar ai Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will prOceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby ren.lering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. E y this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; zad by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham,, and the other towns already enumerated. 1 he support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the use, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its sumo in l'ar ;lament. .A 3 a considerable portion of the line of communication is already male, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this ire .t national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct cemmu- Nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large thine in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingnam and Gairishorough, and the immense trent) from Bir- Mizell= to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ram bural, the German States, and the North of liurope ; and from the con •eyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the pov kern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners Su the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and she :•ehoiders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will he liable beyond the amount of the deposit n il the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his gut 4cription. _ ...,.. Ile usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the lines. _ . No applications will be attended to without a reference to a rat •nber of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be ex, cuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by an , party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for . fell ed.

The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will commence at the several points of Tirlemont and Landen towards the north, and Huy, Namur, Gosselies, and Chatelinean (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainanit, Liege, Limburg, and Namur with each other, and the Government lines of railway, as also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and by the Great Luxem bourg. The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the dis tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in variable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, &c. The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate. A considerable saving will be effected in the cost of iron, and of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac tured at the Corwin works ceded to this Company.

If the ruined but high-born gamesters on the turf, the once enormously rich and luxurious, but suddenly broken, speculator can, to a very certainty, find in every coroner's jury a sympa.thy for his last mental afflictions, and a merciful straining of the law to rescue his insensible corpse and his future mem)ry from superadded ignominy, how happens it that the poor peasant, whose life has been passed in the ever-toiling but unsuccessful attempt to secure the necessaries of existence—not to accumulate only to abuse the superfluities of its 'enjoyments—how h appens it, if he, maddened by the breaking down of all his honest exertions to sustain himself by the sweat of his own brow, rushes on the crime of self-destruction, rather than eat the bread of parochial alms, as it is now too commonly and too grudgingly bestowed ; that these inquests are sure to declare that he was of sound mind when he killed himself; that they brand the last excess of his despair with the legal infamy of a verdict of felo-de-se— and leave his dishonoured remains to be pitched into a hole anywhere, anyhow, at any time, without ceremony, attend ants, mourners, or pity I It would appear that the inhabitants of England are doomed ever to be the victims of the vested interest of the clergy, for while the tithe-owning rector of the country parish joins with the monopolist landowner in opposing the opening of the ports for the free 'admission of the food of the people, because he has a vested interest in famine; his brother rector of the town claims an equal'y vested interest in plague and pestilence, and as strenuously opposes all plans for the establishment of cemeteries out of the City. A letter from Dr. CRoNIN, the physician to the Strand Dis pensary for the Cure of Consumption, appears in our columns to-day, descriptive of the present state of the Savoy Churchyard, which is situated between the back of the houses in the Strand and the river, in the midst of a densely populated neighbourhood. " At all times" says Dr. CRoNIN, " there is a most noxious effluvium from this churchyard, and when (in a heavy dense state of atmos phere, as at the present time, and as has been for the last five weeks) a grave is opened, the stench and emanations are really intolerable, and truly deserving of public reprehension and denunciation, as most fertile causes of producing and spreading pestilential disease." The Doctor thus describes the effects produced upon himself by the noxious exhalations from this magazine of pestilence : —" Several paves have been lately opened within the last month. In one day there was in this small churchyard less than three open at the same time, the noxious exhala tions from which were so overpowering as to produce on my self faintness, succeeded by violent retching." The description is not overcharged, and so far is the Savoy Churchyard from °sing an unfavourable specimen of the burial-grounds in the metropolis, that we have no hesitation in stating that we know of no burial-ground which is not more crowded, more closed up, more pestilential. The Savoy is, perhaps, the most favourable specimen of a metropolitan burial-ground that the advocates of inter ment within the precincts of great towns could produce Surely Sir J. GRAHAM will no longer hesitate to bring in some measure to do away with this crying evil. He it is who is responsible for its continuance, as but for his interference, ac companied by a promise that the Government would con sider the subject, Mr. MAcitoxox would have perse vered in the measure which he introduced, two ses sions ago, for prohibiting iqterments within the pre cincts of large towns. The Government did consider the subject, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM announced that they were not prepared with any measure, as they found it impossible to reconcile conflicting interests. We hope, how ever, that the matter will now be taken up in right earnest and that the safety and health of the community will be no longer sacrificed to the grasping avarice of those who claim a vested interest in " plague, pestilence, and famine." Madrid journals of the 21st state that, though no official business is transacted on the Bourse, purchases to a consider able amount had lately been made, and a considerable rise in the funds had taken place. A rich capitalist, according to the Espanol, had invested large sums in the Three per Cents. and continued to purchase all that is offered for sale. The quotations, as given in private letters on the 21st, were : Three per Cents., 34 cash, 34} for the Account. Five per Cents., 234 cash. Coupons, 24i t to 25 for the Account. Pas sive Debt, sb to si for cash. These prices show a rise of nearly 2 per cent. since the last official quotations. The Edi tor of the Espectador had been tried for a libel on the Go vernment, but without a jury, and condemned to pay a fine of 20,000 reals (2001.) One of the papers repeats the rumour that ABD-EL-KADER had agents at Gibraltar and Lisbon to engage European officers in his service ; and adds, " that a committee for the same purpose had been established at Madrid." The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the state of Al geria, and from the latest accounts it is anything but favour able. Several tribes that had made their submission to the French had thrown off their allegiance, and thus, says the Journal des Debats, " we have to fight our battles over again, and renew our conquest over one half of the Algerian terri • tory." The conclusion of the telegraphic dispatch from Per pignan gives rise to these remarks, and is as follows : " General BOURJOLLY and Colonel ST. Amai) had effected their,junction, and were awaiting reinforcements previous to commencing operations. Boy MAGA, with 300 cavalry, had attacked, on the 18th inst., a tribe under the very walls of Mostaganem. Lieutenant-Colonel MELtasEr, with the troops which were in that town, had repulsed him. During the night of the 18th three tribes of the subdivision of Oran had evoked. They are the first of that subdivision which have failed in their allegiance. The 700 men embarked at !Port Vendres, on board the Labrador, are the first troops which have arrived at Oran from France. Their arrival has pro duced the best effect, and will contribute to main tain the fidelity :a the tribes which as yet have not revolted." The intelligence conveyed in this dis patch is considered highly unsatisfactory. The French troops, though said to amount to 80,000 men, and scattered over a vast extent of territory; probably one-third of them are invalided ; and numerous small divisions are thus exposed to the sudden attacks of ABD-lI,EADER'S troops. Even the Government paper, from which we have quoted, takes rather a gloomy view of the present position of the army. " The announced defection," it says, " of the three tribes in the environs of Oran is, indeed, bad news. The minds of the Arabs have been worked upon by assurances from the agents of ABD-EL-KADER. that the reign of the infidels was at an end. They have taken part in the general movement, and reliance can be no longer placed on the fidelity or even the neutrality of the tribes. But we have now many advantages in our favour, which, at the beginning were wanting to us, for we have roads, towns, fortified camps, and points on the coast, where we can land troops without interruption ; in fine, we have become ;per fectly acquainted with the topography of the whole country, and the greater portion of our troops are well practised in the species of warfare they have to carry on. We cannot fail in the end to gain once more our object. As to the amount of 80,000 men, we may observe that this is the number of the effective force, and there should be deducted from the active force many non-combatants who are reckoned in the total; that all the corps have a small depot in each of the towns of Algeria; that the men in the hospitals are comprised in the effective, and that the army is spread about in three wide provinces, occupying a great many towns, fortified camps, and posts stationed on the roads. It may, therefore, be easily conceived that the number of the moveable columns is ne cessarily restricted." Accounts from Algiers announce that Marshal BUGEAUD had commenced operations, and was on his way to put down the rebellious tribes. The Moniteur Algerien states that on the 18th inst. the Governor-General, attended by his Aides-de- Camp and orderly officers, left Algiers for Milianah to place himself at the head of a column of 4,000 men collected there for the purpose of acting to theeast of Oran. Colonel EYNARD, the Marshal's first Aide-de-Camp, arrived at Algiers on the 17th. M. GARNIER PAGES, the Deputy, arrived also at Algiers on the same day. The .Akbar announces that it had received intelligence that General CAVAIGNAC had made a razzia on the tribe in which Commandant Bitzor. and Lieutenant DE DOMBASLE, and their escort of Live hussars, were so barbarously murdered. Before starting, however, the eccentric Marshal had been busily engaged in issuing proclamations and addresses. among others one to the Arabs and Kabyles, in which we find these curious phrases: " It appears that the demon of madness has possessed the minds of some among you.

DEATN OF SIR MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY, BART.— We regret to announce the death of Sir Matthew Tierney, one of the oldest and most respected inhabitants of Brighton, which event took place yesterday morning, after a short illness. The Honourable Ba ronet had suffered for some years from attacks of gout. and there is very little doubt that a severe attack of gout was the immediate cause of death. Sir Matthew Tierney was a great favourite with George IV., and we believe held the appointment of physician to the King during the reign of William IV. Sir Matthew was born November 24th, 1776 ; and married October Bth, 1808, Harriet Mary, daughter of the late Henry Jones, Esq., of Bloomsbury-square, by whom he had no issue. Upon being appointed physician in ordinary to his Majesty, and physician to the household at Brighton; Mr. Tierney was created baronet, 3d October, 1818, and obtained a second patent, dated sth May, 1834, with remainder to his brother, Edward Tierney, Esq., of Fitzwilliam-street, Dublin, a crown solicitor for Ireland. Sir Matthew was appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Guelphic Order of Hanover, 7th May, 1831. WALBROOK WARD.—Thursday the Common Coun cil of Walbrook ward gave a farewell dinner to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, at the London Tavern. The company invited consisted of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, the Lord Mayor elect and his lady, Sir Moses and Lady Montetiore, Sir George and Lady Carroll, Mr. Alderman Hunter and Mr. Alderman Sidney, late Sheriffs, and their ladies; Mr. Sheriff Chaplin and lady, Mr. Sheriff Laurie and lady, the Under-Sheriffs and their ladies. The en tire suite of rooms on the first floor, including the splendid drawing room, was appropriated to the entertainment, and fitted up for the occasion in the most gorgeous style. We need not say that the en ttin Ih P e e rt rv a e l d nm u ent consisted of every delicacy .of the season, nor that it was with that exquisite taste for which the proprietors are dis with coarse n o s f n t d he si e n v g e i n n i g n! dis tinguished. 8 ed.

A melancholy exemplification of the unequal degree of sympathy manifested by the law in its practical administra tion for the rich as compared with the poor, occurs in a para graph we have transcribed from the Somerset County Gazette. It relates to one of the most deplorable catastrophes into which madness or despair can precipitate a rea- Boning being. It regards the case of a wounded, impetuous spirit, stung by the intolerable pressure of a present distress, presumptuously withdrawing from its appointed sphere of existence and of duty,—and " rushing"—as it is somewhat vaguely but impressively described—" into the presence of its C R EATOR," —unbidden, unanealed!" GOD forbid I that we should be misunderstood—in our observations on this melancholy event—to speak irreverently of that Divine prohibition which has its echo in the conscientious and abhorrent convictions of every human breast. We should be reluctant, to the last degree, to be suspected of regarding with levity or irreverence that stern but wise and solemn reprobation with which human institu tions resent this insult on the Supreme Majesty of the Uni verse. But it is with no such feelings —it is in the absence of any such Purpose—that we find ourselves compelled to denounce the Coroner's verdict returned on the inquest at tending the circumstances which led to the death of JAMES LOVELL, of Norton Kewstoke, Somersetshire, who com mitted suicide on Saturday last by hanging himself. This is but one exemplar of a very numerous class of case s in which we are too often shocked—not by the servile and obsequious promptitude of inquest juries,in devising every possible construction of circumstances proved in evidence— every possible assumption that can be formed in the absence o f proof, and every possible straining of the existing law, render ing self-murder liable to certain penal visitations of ex post facto ignominy —(for these things have almost ceased to startle by their daily occurrence)—but, by the careless, unhesitating, and reckless consistency with which they re turn verdicts of felo-de•se against those children of misery and wretchedness whose crime against the decree of GOD himself, is aggravat e d i n th e eyes o f th ese d uo d ec i ma l councils by the more inexpiable guilt of poverty ! Is there a country in the world where poverty is more persecuted in lif e —more hunted down after death, even—than this, with a ll its boasted institutions, its moral bearing, its munificent charities. We seriously fear that there is not. A Pharisaical, conventional propri e ty a pp ears t o b e a t once m ore diffusively established, and m ore hi g hl y apprec i a t e d, than p plain,t unobtrusive, meek, an d susta i ned C hr i st i an en o f benevolence to, an d p i ty f or, our peees It was but to the excess of thi s pseudo- species. co irt a . m corre ctness ;" this meretricious shadow of a t m h o is rali w ty hite.as bewauthifeud, decorum-hidin g, beautiful dbyoveryrdzr not of ita simplicity; atoningfor, the " multitude of sins," tha t the miscreant TAWELL, in the beginning of the present year, sacrificed the substantial merits of his private charities and good works, and all the worldly advantages of a competent fortune and a " respect able position in society." How many hundreds of thousands yet remain among us who, without so far losing their calcu lating habits of self-possession as to b e hurried into crimes of so deep and revolting a dye as those of TAWELL, do yet maintain this " respectable position" in the great world by sacrifies of principle, of integrity, of candour, of affections; by violations, one day to be atoned for in this world, or be yond it, of the most sacred ties of kindred, honour, and good faith ; and the studied contravention of the great rule of human conduct, "to do to others as we would be dealt by ourselves" —every slay in the year, and almost every hour in the day ? If they be not great convicted criminal offenders, like the heartless poisoner, they are not less heartless as moral delinquents of another kindi—the plausible but worthless Pecksniffs of society. Were not this the case, it is certain that so pernicious an example would not affect, as we are per suaded it does, the judgment of jurors in that remarkable manner which the verdicts of coroners' inquests exhibit. If an honourable or noble speculator on a race-course, or a wealthy and influential dealer in the money !market, after being defeated in the projects which he has raised on some operation of extraordinary magnitude in his peculiar sphere, communes with his friends, or settles under his own handwriting his worldly affairs, all this evidence of mental collectedness and deliberation is at once passed over as nugatory, or accepted as establishing the case for a certain inevitable verdict—that the " unfortunate nobleman," or " lamented gentleman," committed suicide ,r OCTOBER, no, 1845. chief, whose a mbition takes no account of either your repose, your welfare, or ev en your lives, a great many of your tribes have risen in revolt agF dust the authority of the King of the French, without any rations j hope of attaining their object. Can they believe that France, sy ho counts millions of warriors, would leave the victory in their bar ,d s , were it possible, as it is not, they should gain a conque' at over those who are now in Algeria! This is a great error in ihr en. Armies much more formidable than the first would q u ' ,ckly come over, and the only final result would be the total de ' ,truction of the Arab race. In latter days, have we not ruled and directed you with the mildness and favour as we have treated the French. If you cannot feel this, and prefer to this paternal go. vernment the cruel tyranny of Abd-el-Kader, it must be because the light of God has been withdrawn from you. You can have no one to blame but yourselves for the ills you bring down upon you. lam come with a second army. I will not leave the smallest corner of the rebellious parts of the country unexplored, pursuing the revolted tribes to wherever they may retreat, and, if they per sist in not returning to their lands in perfect submission, I will banish them for ever from Algeria, and bring other people to fill their places." ' On Saturday evening the King of the FRENCH received the Austrian Ambassador, Lord BROUGHAM, and General SEBASTIANI. The :Courrier de Marseilles states that Mr. LEADER, the Member for Westminster, is waiting at Cannes the arrival of Lord BROUGHAM, who was expected in a few days. According to a letter from Toulon of the 23d, the report of the squadron, under the orders of Admiral PARSEVAL DES CHENES, having been ordered to proceed from Algiet s to the coast of Morocco, was unfounded. This squadron is now stated to have been on the 15th off Cagliari, in Sardinia. The Funds and prices of Shares continued depressed on the Paris Bourse on Monday.

SIR,-At a time like the present, when the public health seems to be an object even with the tiovernment, you will not perhaps consider me a serious intruder upon your time In directing your attention to one great source, not only of originating, but of exten sively propagating, disease. The churchyards in and about Lon. don are perhaps some of the most prolific sources from which ori. ginate malaria, and all its direful consequences, and I think I shall not have much difficulty in enlisting your powerful ce.operatiOn in endeavouring to expose and suppress these nuisances, when I call your attention to one in your own immediate neighbourhood. I allude to the Savoy churchyard. At all times there is a most noxious effluvium from this churchyard, and when (in a heavy dense state of atmosphere, as at the present time, and as has been for the last five weeks) a grave is opened,* the stench and emana tions are really intolerable, and truly deserving of public reprehen sion and denunciation, as most fertile causes of producing and spreading pestilential disease. A corner for this communication will much oblige, yours truly, D. CRONIN, M.D., Physician to the Strand Dispensary for Consumption, &c. 14, Leicester.place, Leicester-square, Oct. 27, 1845. * Several graves have been lately opened within the last month. In one day there were in this small churchyard no less than three open at the same time, the noxious exhalations from which were so overpowering as to produce on myself faintness, succeeded by violent retching. I have had to keep the windows battened down for seve ral days. during which time I was obliged to burn myrrh, aloes, and other chlorine pastiles, and failed in overpowering the putrid odour. Several medical gentlemen who called on me at the Dispensary have complained of this noxious exhalation. JOSEPH ADY AGAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—The Inclosed letter is one of a numerous lot received in this neighbourhood from the notorious Joseph Ady. If you think it worth noticing in your Sun daily paper. it may prevent many of your readers from being victimised.-1 am, Ac. Coins, Oct. 28, 1845. T.

There was but little doing in Cotton at Liverpool yester day. Sales) 2,000: bales, all to the trade, and without any change in prices. There was a better feeling in the Share market, which was firmer and more healthy, and prices in some instances advanced. When a question has to be discussed involving the inte rests of hundreds of well-concocted schemes for railway extension, and the probable future employment of thousands of our fellow-creatures may be concerned, it is of the most material importance that truth should , be the basis of public writers. And if to bolster up a case there is an absence of that most important ingredient, the public are fairly entitled to distrust any such authorities. Our contemporary the Times, in its City article to-day, states None of the Companies stand in a much better position (alluding to railways generally) than the Great Western, yet the fact is, that a purchaser of 10 shares in its stock 12 months ago would be now, at least, 1,0001. the poorer." Now, this is not the fact, as those who bought Great Western Shares 12 months ago have been large gainers by a rising market almost continuously. And what is the difference in the prices since the Bank notice came out? from 162 to 145—a loss upon 10 shares of about 1701., the largest reduction that has occurred in this species of property for many years. In truth the Railway Share Market has rallied considerably, and the state of public confidence has most materially rallied also. On the 29th October, 1844, Great Western Shares were 61 to 62 premium. On the 16th inst., when the Bank notice came 'out, they were 81 to 83 premium. Yesterday they were 65 to 70 premium. It is true there have been great intermediate fluctuations, but these only affect the speculator in the same manner as the variation in the funds, many holders of which do not sell out for years together. In what respect, then, is railway property less secure or eli gible, as an investment, than stock, and which would be safest or most profitable in war time? There are papers of June 21 from Sydney, and June 12 from Port Philip. Matters were progressing very favourably, and trade was brisk. The Funds have been firm again to-day, with a fair busi ness doing. Consols are 96% to 97 for present Transfer, and 96% to 97% for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 41s. to 38s. premium; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 97: to 984. The Foreign Bonds have been rather higher. Spanish Five per Cents. are 26 to 26 1 / ; the Three per Cents., 36 to 37 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 56 to 57 1 4 ; Mexican, 3014 ; Chi lian, 99 ; and Brazilian, 80. The Share Market is very quiet to-day, but looks well, and, in Many cases, there is an Improvement. - ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES per Cent.

THE ROBBERY AT RROMPTON BARRACKS.-CHAT HAM, OCT. 27.—John Forsyth, the man in custody on suspicion of stealing the cash-box belonging to the mess of the Royal En,stre,rs stationed at Brompton Barracks, was brought up for final examina tion this day before the county magistrates at Rochester, when a chain of evidence tending to connect the prisoner with the robbery was adduced. It appeared that he had gone into the kitchen of Captain Lloyd and inquired of the maid servant whether her master was at home, but would not suffer her to call the man-servant to ask the question. He must for that purpose have passeel the room where the cash-box was deposited ; and William M`Water, Captain Lloyd's servant, saw a soldier going out of the door about that time with a cash-box in his hand, but could not identify the prisoner as the man. The box was found in a cupboard in a room to which the prisoner and two other men had access, still locked, and containing 671. I7s On settling with the messman a few days previously. Lieutenant Myrass missed 151., and it appeared the prisoner had changed three 51. notes with a publican, two of which had been paid to Mr. Bromley, the agent of Colonel Best, and the other is now in the possession of the constable who apprehended him. He was com mitted for trial at the quarter sesions at Maidstone. ENGLAND AND AMERICA. To THE EDITOk OF THE $L IN. Sll3,—Pray publish in your influential journal .a communi cation you will see in the Times of this day, dated Paris? October 24, and signed by a " States"-man, - headed " Eng land and America." The Tines in London. and the New York Herald in New York, are doing everything in their power to create a hostile spirit between the English and Americans, and they are succeeding much better than every true Christian and well-wisher to both countries can desire. The most perfect harinony and brotherly love ought to exist between these two kindred nations ; but I am grieved to say that the breachbetween them is widening every month, principally owing to the unprincipled, and unscrupulous, and mendacious writings of the New York Herald and the Lon don Times. Who knows that these two worthies are not in league with one another? When Bennet, the Scotch rene gade, the contemptible editor of the New York Herald, wa s in London some time ago, he was very intimate with the editors and proprietors of the Times; and I see the most fre quent quotations in the Times from the New York Herald , whilst the respectable and well- conducted Ameri can papers, such as the Boston Daily Advertiser, the New York Commercial, the Philadelphia United States Ga zette, or Philadelphia North American, or the Baltimore Patriot, or the Washington National Intelligencer, ate en , tirely neglected, and never referred to or quoted from. As well look for the genuine and respectable public opinion of the United States in the New York Herald, as search for the respectable public opinion of England in the London Age and London Satirist. I hope, Mr. Editor, you will publish the Paris article I refer to, because it shows, in a temperate and enlightened manner, the evils and inconveniences likely to arise between England and America principally owing to the unwise and unpatriotic writings of a portion of the press On both sides of the Atlantic. Most sincerely do I hope the most amicable relations may always exist between our two countries, and that the only strife shall be, which shall be foremost in promoting the blessings of peace and the arts most calculated to civilise and benefit mankind. Your constant reader, City, October 28, 1845. AN AMERICAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln order that you may not refuse to insert in Your columns the following remark, whose purport is peace, on an, article in your number of the 22d inst., which has just met my eye, I will make them as short as possible. I might se na them to another journal, and through the hands of a distin guished man, whose name alone would procure them Pub" licity, but I prefer to address them directly to you, and tr ust to your magnanimity. It is a matter of observation among the English that the inhabitants of the United States " hate them," and wou ld, on the slightest provocation, or with no provocation at B ' i be glad to rush into a senseless war. This is not true, bu t it is so generally believed by them, that a very short tit since I was requested to wnte a letter, demonstrating u; contrary, to be put into the hands of one of the leadingi° in your country. We do not hate you, but all the acts wrongs you could heap upon us would hardly stir up su e bitter blood as the venomous outpourings of the QuarterlY Review and other periodicals have done. Don't misunderstand me ; we are, I allow , a thin-skinn e . —a very thin-skinned people. Raison de plus that e,. friends—those who desire our welfare—who prefer, througU„ interest or afiection, our love to our hate—should, in settut forth our faults, do it with as much regard to our weakness as possible. And who, let me ask, should those be the should be our friends and well-wishers if not the Eneisht ancestors of nine-tenths of us, but who, lam sorry g; have in instances neither few nor far between, as if in . no t mere wantonness of sport, rode roughshod over our I tender susceptibilities? „ I I am not, however, going to appeal to your compa sl°- the reason tha n address the interests than the p as sionst_, reason than the feelings, in demanding, if it can be belieri, 11 It that, unless provoked by insulting words (and after a ,_ e a), words oftener than deeds which are the cause of bloods" wa we would prefer to meet in deadly strife those of our kith and kin, or others who in language, blood, and volt° gion, are aliens to us and ours? Then, w hy s houln, o f try to irritate us by your sneers, and be never we"'`', o ,e ' drawing conclusions to our disadvantage from facts not established, but assumed on the authority of a new s r ea is notorious even in Europe for being the most infant e o alt America? We have sins enough to answer for; for more than belong to us in the New York Herald? spa The Herald is, I admit, conducted with great indus t lio 4 , some talent, but it is not a source to which you shee v ' for facts, much less public opinion, unless supported Lid concurrent testimony. It is a journal, although th!„ see; papers are so fond of quoting from it, that, Uil'aci aa scurrilous and unprincipled prints with you, is re as mittance into many respectable families, and left ' IS / 10 15 ` many persons who refuse to gratify curiosity at the_„ e " Ater of truth and honesty. Its editor, moreover, is not s m cc at , " rican, but a Scot—a radical, grasping, foulmoutbed;ed his the same that O'Connell, on a public occasion, t ur ber etigh back towards, abused, and almost spit upon, to the ~d er er and well-merited mortification of the thick•skinned safras and reckless betrayer of a country's interests where Pe his bread in so loathsome and disreputable a manner; it Then in dealing forth your wholesome denunci tr l i : f a ir not f ette r should be borne in mind that the press with us is criterion whereby to judge of the sentiments of _ s _ part of the community, not even of the mass, as it i ; 1 ? -1- ' in '; o , land and France, where editors are, for the most a pti o ,h of education and some degree of refinement, insuteulosit be r t; as they are too often in America, broliclecnesdbeggalri;ceif. physicians,: and politicians; in some d fill their pockets or a self so that by so doing they could place. od than for evil in those Should you not rather seek for o not much more to lose than seeking foreigners, who would cateuritointsnae father of lies is your own blood, and have to gain by exciting our evilhere you yourselves ought to be at that point of irritation act w on our part which should even tuateanswerable for any peace, as is becoming in one in war? lam a man of _ but think that and I cannot keeping us just brethren at strif. the responsibility of whose hair is long since those who strive to set is awful in the extreme. Besides, do you not see that by unmeasured censure r ri t defeat your own object, whether that Object be the benevole n one of correcting our errors—the errors of a young and 93 1; guine people of Saxon blood —or, whether it be to Ine rt ' I v and lower us in our own esteem?

He then stated the object for which they w , F.„, together, and remarked that he had no doubt they to select from their provisional committee a most powerful e portent acting committee, ec o rb t Mr. D.

Continuing its course through Chester, the line 3' for • n to 'Worcester, and thus terminate the great c entre 1 , 5 10 `,: mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordsb"7, ante shire, and North and South Wales.

IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER THE NEW GAMING ACT. RIGHT OF STAKEHOLDERS TO RETAIN STAKES. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY NIGHT.—A decision of itself unhn. portant as to the amount in dispute, but of the greatest consequence to the sporting world as regards the question involved, was given this day by Matthew Davenport Hill, Esq., Q.C., Recorder for the borough, at the Mayor's Court. The facts of the case are briefly these :—The plaintiff and defendant are both publicans, residing in this town. At the close of the past year a wager was made be tween the plaintiff and a man named Barber, to play a game at "put," the plaintiff staking 1/. ha., and his opponent 1/. In con sequence of a dispute having arisen in the course of the game, an►d Barber affirming that he had won, owing to some mistaken play on the part of Smith, that party at once threw down his cards and re fused to play any further ; at the same time denying that he had lost the game, and asking for his money from Mr. Chattaway, the defendant, who refused to give it him, but handed it over to Barber. The consequence was that Smith sued Barber for the I/. 55., and the case came on for trial this day, when Mr. W. Morgan appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. T. Harding for the defendant. A witness having been called by the plaintiff's attorney, who proved that the money was paid into the defendant's hands in his capacity of stakeholder while the game at cards was being played, Mr. T. Harding said he thought that that fact having been adm►tted by the plaintiff's witness must put an end to the case—to show which he would refer the Learned Recorder to the 18th section of the Act of Parliament recently passed to " Amend the law concerning Game , , and Wagers," in which it was enacted, " That all contracts or agreements, whether by parole or in writing, by way of gaming and wagering, shall be null and void ; and that no suit shall be brought or maintained in any court of law or equity, for recovering any sum of money or valuable thing, alleged to be won upon any wager; or which shall have been deposited in the hands of any person to abide the event OR which any wager shall have been made. Provided always that this enactment shall not be deemed to apply to any subscription, or contribution, or agreement to subscribe and contribute for, or to. ward, any plate, prize, or sum of money to be awarded to the winner oriwinners of any lawful game, sport, pastime,'or excercise." The Recorder having looked over the clause and the Act in general, expressed some surprise at the construction of it, and said, that if the Parliament were obliged to put a reasonable con struction upon all the Acts that they passed, he was afraid that they would not often find time for a recess. Although the Le. gislatnre might think that by preventing actions being brought against stakeholders, they should be putting an end to parties en. trusting stakeholders with money, he did not anticipate any such result, nor did he think that they would retain the money for their own use, but give it to the parties they might deem the winners, and of course such a decision would be final, as no remedy could be obtained from the stakeholder. - After hearing Mr. Morgan, who sought to explain away the meaning of the clause, but without effect, the Learned Recorder, presuming that playing the game in question was unlawful, decided that the plaintiff must be nonsulted.l IRELAND.
