Cobden, Esq., M.P. for Stockport, and, although arilTivalid, has, in a most handsome manner, allowed all respectable persons making application admission into his gardens to view this rasa plant, which only throws its blossoms once in a century; The object of this Company Is to afford to the town and port of Wisbech, the centre of the rich agricultural district o the Isle of Ely, the benefit of that communlcAtion by railway of which it is now en tirely destitute. This will be effected by the construction of a railway to commence at or near the March station of the Ely and Peterborough Deviation line, proceedLn thence to Wisbech, and thence to Sutton St. Mary, . there forming a junction with either the East Coast or Grand - Union Railway, or any other railway completing the communication to Lin coinshre, which may obtain the sanction of the Legislature. A direct communication will thus be formed between the Metropolis, the Midland, the Eastern, and the Manufacturing Counties. The districts embraced by this undertaking are populous, and have a very considerable local traffic, the population of Wisbech, St. Peter alone, exceeding 10,000. The quantity of wheat told in the market at Wisbech weekly averages 5,000 quarters, and the arrivals of wheat from the port of Wisbech have in many instances been known very materially to affect the market in Mark-lane ; in addition to which there are extensive sales of other grain, flour, seed, wool, cattle, fruit, and potatoes, the whole of which is exported to the consuming markets ; the imports consisting of coals, timber, oilcakes, bale goods, slates, sand, lime, and general merchandise. The return of the Port dues for 1844 exhibits .125,395 tons, and these dues are rapidly in creasing in amount. ♦ great portion of the merchandise must pass along this line, anti cannot fail of yielding a productive revenue. The length of line is about twenty miles, and passes through a country having an-evai and solid surface ; thus, with all the advan taees Of water and land carriage of materials, affording facilities which will render the works inexpensive, and insure their early com pletion. Added to these advantages, the line will form an Integral portion of the main trunk line with the shortest and most diret route between Linn and London. By its connexion with the Ely and Peterborough Railway at March, a transit will be afforded through the Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham to Bristol, and the south west of England,and through the Syston branch of tile midlands, the north west of England, with Liverpool, Wales, and Ire- - land. will also be placed in immediate connexion with Wisbech and its locality. Another important feature in this undertaking is, that the serious inconvenience felt by every class during severe winters, from the river Nene being - blocked with ice at Wisbech (causing a total stag nation of the usual commerce, whilst the warehouses may be over loaded with corn, and the price of coals ificreascd threefold, to the great distress and misery of the poorer classes), will, by this railway, be entirely obviated. - The survey has been completed, and application•will be made for nn let in the cn3ung session of Parliament. A lar;e reser.•e of shares having been made for existing - companies with which the pro posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal of the Directors. Applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a refer ence to a Banker or one of the Provisional Committee, may be made to the respective Solicitors.

The most enlightened and populous of the cities of another hemisphere, the capi 'tal of one of the States comprising that Federal Union which we are accustomed to speak of as the model of republics, only the' other day witnessed the shedding of the blood of some of its best citizens, in a fierce affray between contending religious factions, that seem to re vive the memory of those which, in the age of JUVENAL, constantly afflicted Alexandria between Pagan sectaries; and some few centuries afterwards, between the still more ferocious Christian (so called) dogmatists, who supported or opposed the intolerant ATHANASIUS. It is in 1544 and 1845 that we have a Roman Archbishop exhibiting, as they were exhibited in the middle ages, the very vestments of our SAVIOUR (?), and working miracles at Treves—in the shape of profitable collec tions for his treasury—as marvellous, as credible, as disinterested as any that were ever contrived at the shrine of our Lady of Loretto. In Switzerland--sueh is the insanity produced by this religious hatred—the peaceful Cantons have been moved to a suicidal civil war, the embers of which are not yet extinguished, chiefly for the object, on the part of one of the States, of retaining that social subjugation which is always synoni mous with the permitted presence of the Jesuits ; whom another State, in a spirit of intolerance, accurately following that to which it was oppo:e.l, had sought to expel by means equally violent and ille gal. But it is in Germany that the preaching of the Abbli JOHANNES RONGE, the great exposer of the sacred relics at Treves, has aroused the fiercest storm of this theological persecution. Romanism, Jesuitry, infallibi lity, have arrayed themselves in all the panoply of the orthodox one and indivisible Church against the daring challenger of genuine old clothes. From such a cause— from beginnings so humble, almost so ridiculous, has just arisen the unwonted incident of a sanguinary popular commotion in that which may be called the commercial capital of Saxony—the peaceful and enlightened Saxony —whose excellent Monarch was so lately the honoured guest of our own Sovereign. German blood has flowed in an unseemly contest between the people, irritated against his Majesty's brother, the Grand Duke, a zealous favourer of Romish infallibility, and the humble, but energetic, and simple-minded HONOR, the second LUTHER Mr. LYELL'S recently-published " Travels in North America," contain a chapter devoted to the English Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The eminent geologist's inquiries into the condition of the universities in the United States exposed him to many counter inquiries as to the English universities ; and Mr. LYELL felt much shame and humiliation in being com pelled to tell of the complete neglect of science and philosophy in Oxford and Cambridge, and of their general inefficiency. In order to direct public attention in this country to what is so great a mAtter of shame and reproach to us, Mr. LYELL has entered at con siderable length into the question of the English Uni versities ; and as there is no one whose opinions on such a subject are more entitled, by scientific acquirements and fame, to attention, we make no apology for present ing our readers with some extracts from Mr. LYELI:B chapter on Oxford and Cambridge. The general rule in Oxford and Cambridge is, that the university professors have no audiences. The edu cation is carried on, not by the university professors, hut by college- tutors : and the subjects taught by the college -tutors are almost exclusively classics and mathe matics, which are the subjects of examination for de grees. Those who aspire to honours through the me dium of these examinations have no time to attend the lectures of the university professors ; the college sys tem of education, and the college-created system of uni. versity examinations, fill up all their time ; while those who do not aspire to honours, and do not devote them selves to classics and mathematics, have no inducement to attend the professors' lectures, as the universities give no honours in connexion with the subjects which they profess. Au attempt was made in Oxford in 1839 to require the attendance of all under-graduates, on some professors' lectures ; and on very strong representations of many of the most eminent professors, the Board of [leads proposed to Convocation a statute requiring attendance on at least two series of professors' lectures as a preliminary qualification for the B. A. degree. The proposed statute was rejected by Convocation ; but 4.nother statute was passed compelling professors to lecture. We quote Mr. LYELL'S remarks on this con duct of Convocation and its results : " While they threw out that part of the proposed statute which would have gone far towards reviving thesprofessorial chairs, they passed another part requiring the Professors of Astronomy, Experimental Philosophy, Chemistry, Geo. logy, Mineralogy, Anatomy, Botany, Medicine, Civil Law, English Law, Greek, Arabic, Sanscrit, Anglo- Saxon, Poetry, Modern History, and Politics' Economy, to de liver regular courses of lectures. They were, in fact, bound, not only by ancient statutes, to require the teachers above enumerated faithfully to discharge their duty, but in modern times, or since the examination statute of 1800, they had sanctioned the foundation of new chairs, such as Experi mental Philosophy, Mineralogy, Geology, Political Economy, and Sanscrit, and had accepted annual grants from the Crown to endow certain readerships. In homage therefore to the moralandobligationstheynugatory,they incurred, continuedto rendernew old foundations an outward conformity to the statutes, by enforcing the delivery of lectures, the efficiency of which they allowed other parts of their system entirely to defeat. Their conduct reminds us of the orders issued by Charles r, to offer up prayers through. out Spain for the deliverance of the Pepe, while he suffered his army to retain him prisoner in the Castle of St. Angelo. After the year 1839, we may consider three fourths of the sciences, still nominally taught at Oxford, to have been virtually exiled from the University. The class rooms of the Professors were some of them entirely, others mostly, deserted. Chemistry and botany attracted, be tween the years 1840 and 1844, from three to seven students; geometry, astronomy, and experimental philosophy scarcely more ; mineralogy and geology still taught by the same professor, who, fifteen years before, had attracted crowded audiences, from ten to twelve ; political economy still , fewer; even ancient history and poetry scarcely commanded an audience ; and, strange to say, in a country with whose destinies those of India are so closely bound up, the first of Asiatic scholars gave lectures to one or two pupils, ant' these, might have been absent had not the cherished hope of a Boden scholarship for Sanscrit induced them to attend." Mr. LYELL'S account of Cambridge is very similar:— " Very recently at Cambridge, all branches of knowledge taught by the professors—in a word, every subject except what is understood in our universities by classics and mathe ma' ies— have had sentence of banishment passed upon them in the form of new compulsory examinations, under the manage ment of college tutors, the Oxford plan of awarding honours to classical arid mathematical attainments alone being adhered to. The professes of chemistry and anatomy, who had formerly considerable classes, have only mustered six or seven pupils, although still compelled to give courses of fifty lectures each. The chairs of modern history, and of the application of mschinery to the arts, once numbering audiences of several hundreds, hare been in like mariner deserted. Yet dispensa tions are rarely granted for the discontinuance of useleas duties, even when only two pupils present themselves. Moreover, here, as at Oxford, it is not uncommon to give such theirs as mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry, botany, astronomy, ge ol og y, mineralogy, and others, to clergymen, who combine them with clerical duties, or throw them up when they obtain preferment ; and who, however eminent, owing, as they must do, a mixed allegiance, partly t.) their ecclesiastical order, and partly to the professional body. cannot stand up with heart and courage in defence of the public, as o p pose d to the clerical and collegiate interests.' To a casual observer of the progress of social institu ons, nothing would he so little likely to present itself n the shape-of one of the great disturbing forces which till vex their tranquillity—as religious discords. The odium titeologichtm," for so many centuries the scourge ►f the old world—the fomenter of civil and of foreign wars—thedethroner of crowned kings—the great motive of external and domestic •treasone—the restless peace breaker in private families as well as States—ha been thought, by many, to have outlived the fires by which its seal was anciently inflamed. Bait he who trusts that so desirable a consummation is accomplished, will soon discover his fatal error. His steps will be "super cineres dolosos." The fire is not extinct—it still exists in all its intensity. It no longer bursts into fierce and de vouring action, rearing on high, to the terrified gaze of all mankind, its consuming flames; but- the molten lava foes not the less seethe and boil beneath the surface which overlays it. And at this very moment the fatal elewent 'seems to be in a state of agitation, that is manifested by occasional eruptions, more or less partial and transitory, in kingdoms of Europe the most remote from one another. We earnestly invite the reader's attention to this remarkable modern phe nomenon. It is peculiar to this epoch of the nineteenth century. The " disturbing force" of which we speak communicates its impulses from seine such mysterious connexion as only MICIIELET or QUSSET can explain, in these, our days, from St. Petersburgh to London, from Dub!in to Leipsic, from Avignon to Treves, from Rome to New York, at almost one and the same time. A slight type of its deforming and perverting powers has been supplied for the consideration of this country in the obstinate tenacity of Puseyite innovators, in the rancorous hatred with which seceders from the fold of our Protestant Church have turned round upon the institutions which had for years nurtured and educated them; and in the insidious arts and inflexible perse verance with which the emissaries of Rome have, for =woe time past, addressed themselves to the work of letaching, not laymen only, butt ordained priests of the , stablishment from our communion. But no man who toes not wilfully shut his eyes to the relations of cause • of his country. For the particulars of this unhappy collision we must refer our readers to the aceount we publish in another column of the disturbances at Leipsic. But we may be allowed to express our deep regret at the event. It mars, and neutralizes, as it were, that great experiment which, since the peace of 1814, has been so successfully conducted in many European kingdoms, of retaining vast populations, of different religious professions, in civil and social amity one with another, and in an unanimous and willing fealty to the common laws and institutions of the country to which they all belong. For our own parts, feel- az as laymen who desire to render to the Church, and more especially to religion generally, all their just rights, protection and honour, but who equally desire to see all ecclesiaitical establishments and professions sub servient, not superior, to the dominant power of the State ; we cannot too forcibly express our sorrow at this untoward. interruption of that great work of conso lidation which we have ever looked upon as one of the noblest attempts of civil polity in our times. We would fain hope that the sovereigns and princes in whose terri tories this mischievous spirit prompts and matures such outbreaks, will vigilantly apply themselves to the consi deration of the best means of all ay ng i f not extinguish• ing it. Where religious toleration and political justice have already discharged their respective duties to all communities in a State, there, we do think, the disturbers of the public repose, who will not brook the free and full discussion of spiritual abuses on moral prin- eiples, but turn upon their challengers with the vindictive spirit of temporal persecutors, ought to be repressed by signal punishment. They compromise the cause of Christianity. They put in jeopardy the peace of Christendom. The secret movers of these per secutions are, we firmly believe, the Jesuits ; and we are almost tempted to concur in the following recent appeal of ItosaE for the absolute suppression of these too viva• cious emissaries of all mischief : " Arise, then, men of Germany and France ; men of Great Britain, Italy, and Spain, arise 1 Men of Europe and America—let us unite with our Government in the noble enterprise. To the work, like men, the work of peace and freedom. The hour is come. Let us break the yoke imposed on faith and conscience—drag down lying priesthood and the Hierarchy 1 Annihilate dis dainful Jesuitism, insulting GOD and man ; and usher in the glorious reign of truth, light, and righteousness—of virtue, of freedom, and of love." ind effect, to the erilenct:s of wtity of purpose and ;ornbination of means, can t), - Liind to the steady and n.•astired recurrence of thuse manikstations of the re complained not, long ago, that owing to the great ex pense of college education, and to the Bishops almost luniversally requiring a college eduemion of candidates for holy orders, the Chuech was becoming closed to all but members of the higher and rich middle classes. The Prime Minister has, in the course of the last session, emphatically _reprobat e d t h e expens i veness of Oxford and Cambridge. One great source of expense is the private tutor in the universities, whose very existence is a reproach to the college tutor who has super seded the university professor. The college lectures being insufficient to prepare the under-graduates for the examinations, they resort to private tutors, who are paid at a much higher rate. Mr. LYELL says, "An Oxford tutor informed me that, in the years 1840 and 1841, no less Than 250, or one-fifth of the resident students, pro cured this kind of assistance, the aggregate sum paid Ly them amounting to more than 10,0001. a year! Mr. LYELL quotes Dr. PEACOCK, the Dean of Ely, as affirm ing the same state of things at Cambridge. Dr. PEA COCK says of the Cambridge private tutors—" These teachers are young and inexperienced, and not com petent to convey enlarged views to their pupils. This unhappy system has contributed more than any other cause to the very general, and, in some respects, just complaints which have been made of late years of the paucity of works of learning and research which have issued from the University of Cambridge." The expenses of college education shut the doors of Oxford and Cambridge to a large portion of her MA JESTY'S subjects ; and religious tests exclude another large portion. Mr. LYELL advises a royal commission which might recommend the removal of tests, and sug gests many other improvements, and concludes with the following protest against the exclusive system of the Universities, with which we shall at present take leave of the subject. ‘‘ Before the Reformation their spirit was Catholic and na tional ; since that period they have dwindled, not into theolo gical seminaries, for they have never in practice afforded a complete professional course for divinity students, but into places for educating the clergy of the Established Church, and the aristocratic portion of the laityprofessing the same form of Christianity. Such a system, coupled with the abandonment of professional studies its general, tends to dissever throughout the country men of different callings, creeds, and professions. It has a demoralising influence. It separates, during the pe riod of youth, the nobility and gentry from the higher portion of the middle classes, the barrister from the attorney, the phy sician from the surgeon, the legislators and lawyers of England from those civilians to whom the government of eighty millions in India is to be consigned, the members of the Anglican Church from the Romanist, of Stonyhurst or the Dissenters of Hackney. the civil engineers of Putney from the medical students of London. It disunites these and other sections of the same community, and throws them into antagonist masses, each keeping aloof from the other in cold and jealous se clusion, each cherishing sectarian party animosities, er professional and social prejudices. It is in the season of youth, and when men are engaged in the common pursuit of knowledge--especially if allowed as far as possible to follow the bent of their own tastes and genius —that friendships might. easily be formed, to soften these hard outlines. At college they would be brought together on neutral, and usually on friendly ground, where kindly feelings and sympathies would spring up spontaneously, and would be cherished in after life, by congenial souls, however distant the station, or distinct the religious opinions or professional employments of their former fellow-students." Since the 12th things had continued quiet at Leipsic. The troops that had tired on the people had been kept within their barracks—the communal guard had per- formed the city duty, and had been well supported by the students. The funeral of the killed took place on the 15th without disturbance. The following resume of events in that unfortunate city is given in the German Universal Gazette, under date of the 15th : " Yesterday at five o'clock another meeting of burgesses and students took place. The reports of the events of the 12th and 13th were first read. The article of the semi-official Leipsic Gazette produced a great sensation, and it was resolved to protest against this tissue of falsehoods; but the definitive resolution was adjourned to Saturday. M. 13luin directed the attention of the meeting to what he regarded as the moat essential point, viz , the interment of the victims. Deputa tions were sent to the municipal authorities, to ask for the town colours ; to the staff of the communal guard, inviting it to attend the ceremony; to the military staff, to remonstrate on the conduct of the troops during the day, and to ask them to confine them to their barracks the next day ; and to the railroad terminus, to receive the deputation returning from Dresden with the King's answer. The meeting next made a collection to defray the necessary expenses. The sitting was suspended for an hour. The measures of the committee re ceived the general approbation. The families of the victims determined to have but one funeral ceremony for all, with the exception of M. Mortmann, of whose body an autopsy was to be made, in consequence of his family having lodged an ac tion for his death. The deputation from Dresden entered the hall at half-past nine. It was supposed that the cortege would muster 20,000 imen. The committee fulfilled their mission admirably. Everything passed over this morning at seven o'clock in the utmost order. At five o'clock this morning the Fletscher Platz was crowded with persons assembled to take part in the funeral ceremony. The procession began to move at seven. It consisted of the communal horse-guards ; a bat tallion of the communal foot-guards ; the students, in sections ; the band of the 4th battalion; the flag of the university; the Committee ; the armourer's company ; another band; the various deputations of /the trades; an immense train of bur gesses and students, with flags, and a detachment of the com munal guards. The cortege proceeded along in the greatest silence, except in passing the chateau, where cries and threats were uttered. Some disturbance had been feared here, but nothing took place. In the cemetery, the coffins were placed side by side in the same grave, and speeches were delivered over them. The crowd withdrew in the utmost order." Another letter of the same date says:— " The deputation of the Municipal Council and the delegates of the city have returned from Dresden. The King, who re ceived them at noon, was affected to tears. His Majesty said that this event was one of the most cruel trials of his life, and that he was the more grieved that such an event should have particula r ly i n L e i ps i c, as h e an d h i s always and phuuott ever violati ng t h e i r d uty . His up Ma jesty the most ar d en t prayers f or the good ' oftheafm iiy occurred country,had i n added, that he was the more hurt as the address of the distrust." Municipal Council contained passages which seemed to indicate By a letter from Constantinople, of the 27th ult., w e learn that accounts had been received there of the last operations of the Com mander-in-Chief of the Russian forces in the Caucasus, Count WORONZOFF, in which he states that he had obtained great and brilliant sucesses. The general opinion in Constantinople was that too much importance should not be attached to these first suc cesses of the Russians, as it forms, part of the tactics of the Mountaineers to retire into the mountains ou the ap proach of their enemy, in the hope of drawing him into difficulties and danger. News had also reached Constan tinople frcm Circassia. The population of the environs of Anapa had, at the instigation of SOLINAN EFFENDI, one of the emissaries of Prince Scßeam, declared against Rus"sia. These people havejoined the troops of SOLIMAN EFFENDI, which are commanded by CARA BATYR, Son Of SEFER BEY, who is an exile at Adrianople. This army is said to have driven a Russian column froth - Tichowato. Several Bays of Circassian tribes, which had submitted to Russia, have gone over with all their followers to Scriamm, in the Dhagestan, and taken up arms. SCHAMIL continues to act in the north, and DANIEL BEY, Ex-Sultan of Jellikoi, in the south of Dhagestan. Both are provided with artillery. SCRAXIL is reported to have made an attack on the fortress of Amakchan, and DANIEL BEY upon the town of Techok. Ia fine, however, it appears that no serious affair has yet taken place. Madrid papers of the 13th have - been received. The restitution of the Church property to the secular clergy is the subject of comment in all of them. The Espanol publishes a letter fr,an Paris, stating that M. Rossi had received instructions to support the negotiations of M. CASTILLO Y AYENSA with the Holy See. The cause of the dismissal of General CAMINERO from the post of Military Commandant of Malaga, is stated to be his want of energy during the recent disturbances. We read in a letter from St. Sebastian of the 13th:— The day before yesterday their Majesties went for an ex cursi')n on the water. Their boat having got aground, and all the efforts of the sailors to float her being fruitless, ten or twelve peasants who were at work near the spot rushed into the water and succeeded in setting the boat free. Yesterday Queen Isa bella visited the regiment of Malloua, which is in garrison here. She was received with enthusiasm, and pardoned several sol diers who had been condemned for desertion. After the visit the Queen and her mother entered a magntticent tent, where they partook of a collation provided by the officers. The bull fights commenced this day, and the Queen and the Infanta were present. Three bulls were killed," vtving p! etensions of the Papal Church which, in the b:ief tt:ursc of three or four years, have convulsed the most modern as well as the oldest of States, Mon trebles, and qmpublics, the host ,gover: led and the worst.

His tender solicitude for the " amity of faith," is so excessive, that he i The education afforded by Oxford and Cambridge is lot only thus limited and unsatisfactory in character, but ,s most unreasonably expensive. The Quarterly Review We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Consttutionnel has a long and able article on the manner in which the Jesuits are evading the law for their dispersion, and in some instances actually disobeying its provisions. After commenting on the manner in which the negotiations had been conducted by the Pontifical Government, it proceeds : " What is the result? First of all, can it he said that the law will be executed? The existing hedges will be closed, but others will be opened; the fathers will not live together in great numbers, but they will separate into a multitude of little ' communities ; they will continue to remain landowners in corn mon, by transgressin g the law; the body will not, therefore, be really dissolved, and therefore the law will not be complied with, but merely eluded. Thanks, however, to the manifes tation of the Chambers, and the apparent satisfaction which is given them, the scandal of illegality will have disappeared. Father Moirez will not again assume in a trial the title of father-procurator, mil M. de Ravignan will not publish any more pamphlets to defy the laws and the courts of justice. But have the other effects, which might have been obtained from a well-conducted negotiation; been obtained ? Ilas the Pontifical Government diminished, by the conduct which it has observed, the confidence of the bishops in the Jesuits ? Will the fathers, transformed into auxiliary priests, exercise less influence on the ultramontane instruction of the great religious scho o l s , or less despotism over the secondary clergy. Will they not have, under the new disguise, more pretexts and facilitie s to elude the dispositions which prescribe I to every professor in a reli g ious school t o d ec l are h a t h e d oes i not belong to any unauthorised religious community? Are not our ministers about to avail themselves of a false appear- I ance to exhibit more feebleness towards the clergy ? Has the I Church really separated its cause from that of the society ? i Has it net, on the contrary, confounded the two more together, in the w h o l e a ff a i r, behind Father Roothan ? b ihe Piac De i pn.4 itsel f,uttes , the electors, all who read and think in France, are serious people, who know what they have determined on. We have not asked for persecution, but we have demanded from the Government sincere and efficient acts. Sincerely, then, has all that is noy passing a character of frankness and truth ?" The visit of Queen VICTORIA to Germany is the sub- TFII4I S PN, LONDON, TIITTRSDA PIVENING, AUGUST 21, 1845 ject of comment in many of these journals. They all attribute a political rn4_)tive to it, but differ eo atuo - t.ig each other as to what that motive is that an impartial reader can only come to the conclusion that there is u political motive whatever in the visit, or, at least, that if there be one, these writers are profoundly ignorant of it. The Legitimatist organs see in it a great European con. gress, from which revolutionary France is excluded, " in spite of the patronage of mercantile England," to use the language of .1 a France, while the Commerce con. eiders that the object of the journey is " to conjure away the storm which threatens British commerce," should the Zollverein Congress, at Carlshrue, at the in stigation of the German southern states, increase the import duties on manufactured articles. We learn from Bordeaux, 16th inst , that his Royal Highness the Duke DE NEMOURS was much better, and that he and the DUCHESS would set out on the 18th for Mont-de-Marsan. Two grandees of Spain, who form part of the deputation appointed to accompany their Royal Highnesses from Bayonne to' Pampeluna, arrived at Bordeaux on the 16th.

After the ceremony the Earl and Countess of Listowel gave an elegant dejeuner, in honour of the occasion, to a large party of the nobility. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL OCCURRENCE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ILFRACOMBE, AUG. 20.—This morning between seven and eight o'clock an alarm was raised on the Quay that a lady was in the sea, and drowning, at the back of the houses on'the Quay, and a general call for ropes and parties who could swim, in order to endeavour to save her. The wind was then blowing strongly from the N.Y., and about high, tide, the water being nearly twenty feet deep at the backs of the houses, with the sea beating violently against the walls. Mr. Edward Stephens, a respectable shoemaker of the town, happening to pais by, went through the house stripped off hi s clothes, and dashed into the foaming waves, and succeeded in coming up with the lady. A rope was then thrown to her, which she missed, but on being thrown out a second time, she succeeded in securing it, and was safely brought to the steps. Mr. Stephens, when he found that the lady had secured the rope, let go his hold of her, when a wave took him out to sea, and a subsequent wave was seen to strike him ; which is supposed to have stunned him. He immediately went under water, and was drowned. He has left a widow and two children. It appears that three ladies, of the name of Bailey, from Peterborough, have been staying at Martin's Boarding house on the Quay, for some time, and that they have been in the habit of bathing in the sea from the back of the house. The mode of approach to the beach is by a flight of steps, but when the tide is up there is no beach to land on, so that any person bathing at such time must plunge into deep water. These ladies being most expert, extraordinary, and beautiful swimmers, have been in the habit of plunging into deep water ; but this morning the wind and sea being both high, Miss Fanny Baily.ventured to bathe, but from the sea beating against the wall she was not enabled to beat against the receding waters, in order to re cover the steps from which she had plunged, and was at the mercy of the waves ; she did not lose her self possession, and kept herself nobly on the surface of the waters ; she was much exhausted on being brought to shore, and was put to bed instantly, and is now going on favourably. The Misses Bailey are ladies of good property ; Miss Fanny Bailey's sisters have been with the disconsolate widow, and have as sured her that neither she nor the fatherless children shall be allowed to want any necessary comfort. The body of poor Stephens is not yet found. FLANDERS MAIL. ANTWERP, Aca. 18.—The temperature of this sum mer has exactly resembled that of 1844. Last year the rain did not cease till the 26th of August, and did not recommence till the 16th of September, It is not amiss to make this observation at the moment when the gene ral harvest is on the point of beginning. It is well known that the harvest of 1844 was abundant and of good quality. A letter from Arlon of the 16th announces the arrival of M. de Moor, inspector of bridges and highways, on Wednesday last. He is accompanied by numerous as sistants, who, together with those already in Luxem burg, are going to commence the surveys for the iron railway in that province. These surveys are to be car ried on with so much activity, that they will be com pletely finished by the month of November next, the time of the opening of the Chambers. If, as we have no doubt, the concession is granted,.the works may com mence in the next season. ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 7.—An imperial uks...e hrs just been published, the chief articles of which are the following :- 1. The coasting trade, that is to say the conveyance of goods from one Russian port to another; in the same sea, shall be henceforth exclusively reserved to Russian subjects and ships sailing under Russian colours. 2. A duty of 50 per cent., besides that fixed by the tariff, shall be levied on goods of whatever origin im ported under foreign colours. 3. Foreign ships shall pay in our ports a tonnage duty of one silver ruble per last both on their arrival and de parture. 4. The regulations in sections 2 and 3 shall be in force from the opening of the navigation in 1846, and shall so remain as long as the circumstances shall con tinue which have induced this measure. 5. The ships of those nations are exempted from the regulations of sections 2 and 3, in which ports the Russian flag is treated on the same footing as the national flag, or as that of the most favoured nations, and the ships of that nation shall be assimilated to the Russian vessels in regard to the duties of navigation s either in the ports of the Russian empire or the Grand Duchy of Finland. 6. By virtue of the rule laid down in the preceding paragraph, every difference which shall remain, or which shall result in future, from this ukase, between Russian and foreign ships in the ports of the empire of Russia and the Grand Duchy of Finland, with respect to the navigation and other duties, in favour of any nation, the Government of which grants entire reciprocity to the Russian flag, shall be suppressed.—Jour nal de Frankfort, August 18.

It appears that his horse, which was a high spirited one, took fright at a gaslight which suddenly becomes visible at that point, and threw him on his head, by which his neck was dislocated. He gave no signs of consciousness up to the Moment of his death. A correspondent complains of the frequent incon venience to which he has been subjected by the loss of letters sent by the post, and which, in spite of the paraphernalia of printed forms, rules, regulations, &c., seems to he irreparable. Perhaps he goes too far in speaking of the misfortune as a common one ; but his remark that the practice of pre-payment offers a temptation to neglect on the part of the postmen is worth attention. Formerly the postman paid for the letters as he took them from the office, and the only means of reimburs ing himself was by delivering them at their several addresses. Now, the letters being prepaid, this inducement to a punctual performance of duty ceases to exist, and the non•-delivery of letters becomes more probable, though still, it must be con-. fessed, it is very rare.—.

The English ship Thunderer, charged with the duty of ex ploring the passages of the Bahamas, Gulf of Florida, arrived at Key West 24th of April, reports appearances of a pirate during her voyage from Nassau. Several ships bound to the Bahamas had disappeared, and others had been chased by a barque painted black, which had crossed their track without any visible reason. It is supposed the vessel was a pirate, and had captured those ships which had disappeared. TO MARINERS. EXAMINATION OF MERCII ANT CAPTAINS AND MATES.

Meanwhile the friends of Sir Wm. Moles Worth pursued their canvass, and, according to the statement of the committee, with great success: They expect before Saturday a thousand promises, though thec only a portion of the borough will be canvassed. Arrange ments are making for a series of ward meetings, at which Sir William will more fuliy.explain his views en the points at issue between him and Mr. Miall, than he did at the meeting on Monday evening. Mr. Pilchar's hopes of success are based on the division in the Liberal ranks, and the support of the Tories. To the tatter party he is endeavouring to make himself as acceptable as possible on the Church question. It is to be hoped that he is calculating without his host. 1 HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
