HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning l2 minutes after 9 I Evening 43 minutes after 9 The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 40 minutes past Three o' Clock. WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON: WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1839. We copy from a Bury Paper the justly indignant denial which the Poor-law Commissioners have given to the assertion of Mr. STEPHENS, which we yester day referred to, in order to elicit such a denial. We never for one moment believed, or could believe, that any one pf the Poor-law Commissioners was the author of the work referred to, or had in any manner sanctioned its publication ; but we believed, and still believe, that, the assertion having been made, and probably credited by many thousands amongst the multitude, it was most necessary to have it contradicted. We are quite sure that the work is as abhorrent to the feelings of the Poor-law Commissioners, who are undoubtedly animated by a conviction that the new law works well for the people, and are undoubtedly humane as well as honourable men, as it is and must be abhorrent to the feelings of all moral beings. Mr. STEPHENS is now become a person of too much notoriety to hazard such accusations without being called on for proofs, and as he cannot possibly prove this accusation, he must be convinced of the guilt of having made it. No zeal in the cause of humanity—admitting, which we do not, that Mr. STEPHENS'S views of the Poor-laws are correct—can ever be the smallest justification for charging any gentlemen with an act which he justly denounced as atrocious. The Preston Observer says that a society is i❑ progress of formation in that town to settle all disputed questions of accounts, or other differences, without the expensive recourse of applying to the lawyers. This is a curious circumstance, for it shows that the people no longer rely on the law and the Judges to adjust their disputes, and have recourse to a plan of their own. They help themselves. The Judges, the Barristers, and the Attorneys, with their fictions, sham pleas, legal delays, and high fees, have, in fact, driven customers from their shop, and they set up a company to pro vide for themselves. We hope the lawyers will not procure an Act of Parliament to compel the inhabi tants of Preston to go to their shop, for they already possess, in the inability of the people, whether arbitra tors or not, to give legal force to their own decisions, a pretty sufficient protection. We presume those who unite to form this New Court must enter into an agreement to abide by its decisions, and should any person then refuse obedience to a decision unfavourable to himself, on the supposition that the law would not enforce it, the curous question might arise whether the Law Courts would be bound to enforce the contract the individual had entered into to abide by the decision of the Arbitration Court. The individual who had gained a verdict in the latter, would have, it seems to us, a good cause of action against an opponent who refused to acknowledge the decision, having first agreed to acknowledge the Court ; and if that be so, the legal Court might find itself bound to enforce the decision of a Court not recognised by the law, and which was taking the bread out of the mouths of its licensed practitioners. The lawyers have carried the matter so far that we are not at all surprised that the people seek to escape from their jurisdiction, and estab lish Courts of their own ; for not only are the Law Courts expensive, procrastinating, and insufferably vex atious, but they are insufficient. Daily almost do we read of complaints made in the Police Courts of va rious disputes, particularly between the husbands and wives, for which the law affords no remedy, and for many of which, as it settles the nature of the contract that binds them together, it ought to afford a remedy. The rich may procure a divorce, for ex• ample ; but the poor, however deeply injured, are very often saddled for life with wives whom they know to be unfaithful, and with the maintenance of children not their own. In fact, our laws and our Courts, by the strenuous resistance which lawyers have made to reform, are becoming, or have in many cases become, quite unfit for their original purposes. 'We should anticipate, therefore, that other towns will imitate Preston, and dispense with Attorneys, Barristers, and Judges. The country will then be wholly saddled, as it is at present partly, with a sinecure estab lishment, to administer laws that the people will ad minister for themselves. We are curious to know the real extent of the modi fication which is about to take place in the French Cabinet—for, according to the reports of persons in " high places," neither will the KING permit, nor will the Opposition insist upon, a total change of Minis ters. Louis PHILIPPE has at last learned that to change a Cabinet every month, for no other pur pose than to induce some popular Member of the Opposition to abandon his principles, and so destroy his influence over the popular mind, is as dangerous a game for Royalty as for the most noisy apostles of office-storming patriotism. Having in the course of the first five years of hi s reign lavishly wasted the reputable patriotism of both Chambers, and of all parties, his MAJESTY made the discovery, that it was possible soon to exhaust all the materials for the construction of any Cabinet with the shadow of foreign or domestic influence—and hence his extreme unwillingness to consent to a complete change of Ministers. Besides, though gratitude is not a Royal virtue, the KING may possibly feel that his protection is due to Count MOLE, were it only on ac count of the facility with which he submitted to an abridg ment of the constitutional privileges of his office. Dur ing his administration the KING has reigned and go verned—has directed the internal and external policy ' of France in whatever way he deemed most accordant w i t h his own Royal ideas of domestic and foreign policy. Count MOLE and his colleagues were so many ciphers, to which the KI NG i mparte d whatever nominal value he pleased. Here, then, is another source of vexation. The address which ousts the present Premier is no less a virtual condemnation by the Chamber of Deputies of the Royal system than a positive assurance that that system must be either wholly abandoned or greatly modified. It is stated that the KING, however, does not altogether think RO—that his MAJESTY is persuaded that, by adroit management, the Opposition may be made to regard a change of men as synonimous with a change of measures ; and that he has hopes of being able to induce THIERS and GUIZOT to steer the vessel of the State according to the charts supplied by himself to Count MOLE and his colleagues. We cannot believe such a statement to be correct. The KING must know, that should the Address now before the Chamber of Deputies be finally adopted, no mere chang e of persons in the Administration can affect the principl es to which it pledges Constitutional France. The ad dress, as prepared by the Committee, is a direct un qualified censure of the whole Foreign policy of the Government, with the exception of the Belgian and African questions, and upon the first of these no opi nion is offered--the closing words of the paragraph being, " The Chamber awaits the issue of negocia tions." We will pass in review the several paragraphs referred to in the order in' which they occur. And, first, of the evacuation of Ancona : You announce, Sire, that by virtue of engagements taken with the Holy See, our troops have quitted Ancona. We have thus given a striking proof of our respect for treaties, but we regret that this evacuation did not take place at a more opportune moment, and with the guarantees which a wise and foreseeing policy should have stipulated. If ever there was language employed in which by implication a Cabinet was denounced as foolish, blundering, and improvident, it will be found in this paragraph. It clearly regrets the time, and deplores the circumstances, of the evacuation. This is the first fatal blow. Now for the Swiss question : We hope that the difference which sprung up between your Government and Switzerland, has not disturbed those relations of old friendship which united the two countries, and which the political events of 1830 had contributed to strengthen. Here is no rejoicing at the success of the French diplomacy. The utmost the Deputies do is to express a hope that no serious mischief has been done—that the Cabinet, by its blunders in this quarter, has not succeeded in disgusting an old and faithful friend and ally, rendered more dear to France by the events which placed Louis PHILIPPE on the Throne. When it is considered that this is a question known to affect the KING'S personel feelings, the opposition that forced the adoption of such a paragraph must have looked to something more than a nominal change in the French Cabinet. We next approach the paragraph relative to the state of Spain:— It is with profound grief that we see Spain consuming itself in the horrors of civil war. We ardently desire that the Go vernment of your Majesty, in continuing to afford to the cause of Queen Isabella 11. the support which the interests of France allow, may exert, in concert with its allies, all its influence for the termination of such deplorable excesses. This is a call for the direct interposition of France in the pacification of the Peninsula ; and, conse quently, a plain and straightforward condemnation of the system pursued by the Government since the dis banding of the French Auxiliary Legion, when the Quadruple Treaty was finally abandoned. To a call so direct the KING must return a specific answer; and that such an answer should be in the negative, with M. THIERs at the head of the Cabinet, is impossible, The paragraph relative to Poland is the last which we shall quote as conclusive of the decided convictions of the Opposition : The Chamber, deeply moved by the misfortunes of Po land, offers its constant vows for a people whose ancient na tionality is placed under the protection of treaties. Deeply will this barb rankle in the heart of Lours PHILIPPE'S dear ally, the Emperor of RUSSIA. It is a brand cast in a powder magazine, with material suf ficient to set all Europe in a blaze. The Chamber of Deputies explicitly recognizes the nationality of Po land as a free State, or what is still more, as a State whose independence is guaranteed by treaties which Russia cannot set aside. This annual protestation against the incorporation of Poland with the Empire of the CZAR, will keep alive the embers of Poland's independence till the arrival of the auspicious hour whe❑ the voice of liberal Europe shall again call upon her to assume a distinguished position among the free nations of the world. Our persuasion, then, is, that any change in the Cabinet dictated by the paragraphs in the address above quoted, must be attended with highly important results. M. THIERS will not enter the Cabinet un conditionally ; for though we place no great reliance upon his professions of patriotism, we know that his vanity would not suffer him to risk a second time his popularity with that party of which he is now the oracle. The KING all but destroyed his influence before—an injury which M. THIERS never has for kotten, even while striving hard to make the nation forget it. The Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday have a.l been received ; but those of Monday have not yet arrived, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather last night. On Monday the debate on the Address was to open ; and according to the Journals of Sun day, the following list of Members who proposed to speak for and against its adoption, as prepared by the Committee, were entered on the Notice Book of the Chamber of Deputies : For the Address—Messrs. Guizot, Billault, Du vergier de Hauranne, Havin, Montepin, Conte, De jean, Salvator, Janvier, Mauguin, Passy, Glais- Bizoin, Larabit, Remusat, Portalis, Sapey, Durand, Ganneron, De Tracy, Isambert, Malleville, Auguis, Desjobert, Chaix Ange, Boirot, Mar shal Clausel, De Mornay, Boudet, Chapuis Montla ville, Mathieu. Against it—Messrs. Liadieres, Rouel, De la Grange, Beudin, Jars, Meilheurat, Pages (de l'Ar riege), Las Cases, Baude, Quenault, Meynard, Enouf. It may excite surprise that in the list of speakers in favourof an Address fatal to the MOLE Administration we do not find inscribed the names of MM. TRIERS, ODILLON BARROT, DUCIIATEL, GARNIER PAGES, LAFITTE, S &LVERTE, and DE SADE. With the exception of LAFITTE, upon whose vote it would be no longer safe to calculate, now that he is, through the influence of the Duke of ORLEANS, banker for the army, we believe there is not one of these gentlemen who will not support the Address by every means in his power. The reason for withhold ing their names most probably is that they have severally amendments to move upon certain paragraphs. Among the most remarkable of the reports to which this Ad dress has given rise, we select the following from a Journal dated Monday, just received : Amidst all the remarks made in the Chamber on the draft of the Address, after it had been read by the President, the words of a deputy aide-de-camp to the King were re marked, who exclaimed that the Address was insolent and fac tious, and that means would certainly be found to prevent its passing. We are assured, besides that, that it was said yes terday evening, at the Palace, that it would not be accepted —(gu'elle etait inacceptable). If, however, as is possible, the majority of the Chamber adopts this Address, what course can be taken not to accept it ? The Ztfoniteur confirms the accounts received from Rochelle, of the 2d instant, relative to the popular commotions, in consequence of the exportation of grain. Before order could be restored three lives were lost, and several persons were wounded. One of the killed was a woman, but whether her death was or was not accidental, is not stated. To appease the people an order of the Town Council, prohibiting the exportation of grain of every description, was posted up in every part of the town. The employ ment of the troops in slaughtering an unarmed mob of misguided people, is severely censured in several of the Journals. The CZAR has rewarded the intrigues of his am bassador in Turkey, M. DE BOUTENIEFF, with the order of the White Eagle. In the imperial rescript the good understanding between the EMPEROR and the SULTAN, is attributed to the indefatigable zeal of this functionary. The following brief extracts include what remaining news there is to be found in these Papers : While several Journals announce that some demonstrations are making in Metz and the environs in favour of unhappy Belgium, most of the regiments in our garrison arc sending to their home 3 those of their soldiers whose time of ger% ice ex pired on the Ist of January. The number of the men who thus leave these regiments is very great —Courrier de la Moselle. The Gazette de Bale, after announcing in its number of the Ist of January the transmission of the direction of the Confe deration from Lucerne to Zurich, adds the following paragraph: " Several Swiss Journals mention a ►ague report, imply. 17 2, ing that the French Government would be disposed to take part for the Swiss convents. They add that several diploma tic notes are expected on this subject. These reports arise from the numerous visits made by M. de Montebello to the Pope's Nuncio." Yesterday, after the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, couriers were dispatched from the principal Legations, doubt less with the draft of the address which had just been read. Amidst all this movement the activity of M. de Pahlen is re marked. To-day at night-fall he gave an audience to the representative of the King of Holland. Last year the debate on the address lasted a whole week. It will probably be as long this year. —Le Commerce. The Madrid Papers which have reached us this morning are of the 30th ult., but their contents are unimportant. In the Senate the Bill for the new levy of 40,000 men was adopted on the 29th—an unim portant measure to a Cabinet without the means of providing their equipment when raised. The capital was tranquil, and in the provinces robbery and assas sination had in some sort superseded civil war. In various districts of La Mancha, the Carlist chief PALILLOS circulated the following General Order, which will sufficiently explain the mode in which the provincial belligerents carry on their military opera tions : " Every father, mother, brother, and relative, to the fourth degree, of those now serving in the ranks of the rebels, who may fall into the hands of my troops, shall be immediately pw to death. This article comprises all individuals whose rela tives shall serve as peceteros, or what is called 'national volun teers,' and finally, every man armed against our legitimate Sovereign Don Carlos, and his i:nprescriptiblc rights." General CLONARD has been authorised by the Government to try Generals NARVAEZ and COR DOVA by Court-martial. We understand that our Ambassador has offered these Generals his protection, and even pledged himself that they shall not fall the victims of ESPA RTERO'S jealousy. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

They fell in with three men armed with guns in the middle of the preserve, and desired them to stand ; two of the poachers escaped, but the third, being hotly pursued, turned round, and at the distance of ten yards deliberately took dm at them, when fortunately his gun missed fire. He was in the act of cocking again to repeat the attempt, when they closed with him and disarmed him. When captured, he coolly expressed his surpr:so and disappointment at his gun not going off; as he had discharged it thirty-four times in the course of the day, without a single failure. The gun, upon examination, was found to be loaded five fingers deep, and, had it gone off, from the proximity of the parties, the discharge might have been fatal to both.

SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1830 GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY MEETING-(THIS DAY). A Special General Meeting of the Directors and Proprie tors of the Great Western Railway Company took place this day, pursuant to adjournment, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Reports of Mr. Hawkshaw and Mr. Nicholcs Wood, who had been directed to go over the entire line, and give their opinion upon the working of the entire system, the increased width of gunge, and continuous timber bearings, &c., &c. At twelve o'clock precisely, WILLIAM R. U. G. Sims, Esq., Chairman, accompanied by a large body of Directors, the Secretaries, Engineer (Mr. Brunel), Solicitor, and other officers of the Company, entered the room, which was at the time nearly full. The SECRETARY having read tho advertisement calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said it was hardly necessary to go into any details with reference to the business before the meet ing. He would, in the first instance, call upon the Secre tary to read the report of the opinion formed upon the two reports of Mr. Hawkshaw and Mr. Wood, by the Directors of the Company. The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the report agreed upon by the Directors. It remarked upon the opinion ex pressed by Mr. Wood as to the advantages of the wider guage, and the diffi c ulty o f o b ta i n i ng a higer rate of speed than that which can be attained on other Railways in con sequence of atmospheric resistance. It stated further, that the Directors themselves had lately made experiments on the Railway, accompanied by some scientific men ; that fie average speed attained by the North Star engine, with carriages and passengers weighing forty-three tons, was 38 miles, and at full speed 4.5 miles, consuming .951 b. (or a little less than 11b.) of coke per ton per mile, instead of 2.761 b., or about 2416. per ton per mile, as stated by Mr. Wood, and that the discrepancy arose from a mecnanical defect in the engine.—(Great cheering.) The report con cluded by stating that the Directors had agreed to give up the plan of securing the bearers by piles, but were decidedly of opinion that the wide guage, with a greater scantling of timber and heavier rails, should be continued.—( Much cheerin g .) The CHAIRMAN, after the report had been read, said it was desirable that the opinions of some of the Propriet Irs should be obtained with respect to the reports which were now before them. After a pause Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY said be felt reluctant to obtrude himself if any other gentleman had a resolution to propose. He, like many other Proprietors, hail heretofore rested sa tisfied with the general management of the Directors, and had placed implicit confidence in their judgment. But it must have been felt by all that the time. was at length arrived when some inquiry should take place into the truth of certain charges of mismanagement which had been very generally circulated. He had there fore, satisfied himself by personal inquiry, as to the truth of these charges. He had read all the pro e!dings, and these two reports, and had arrived at the conclusion that the confidence originally reposed in th e Directors was th o r oug hly we ll f oun dd, and fully justified by the course they had pursued.---( Cheers.) If any ad ditional proof were wanting it would be found in the report of the documents which had just been read. It was im possible to have listened to it without being satisfied that they had paid the utmost attention to the interests of the Proprietary—that they were ready to adopt any improve ments that might be suggested, while at the same time they evinced proper firmness, whatever obloquy they ireght be subjected to, to adhere to which they were convinced would be productive of ultimate benefit. It was admitted by all that the time was arrived when the question must be set at rest one way or another. If they had any regard for the good working of the railway--if they had any regard for their own interests, some decision should now be come to by the body of Proprietors at large, and the Directors should be apprised whether they pos sessed the confidence of the Proprietors, and were supported by them in the views they had adopted. There were, he be:ieved, now only two important matters in dispute—the width of guage, and the continuous timber bearings. The late system adopted of continuous timber supports had he: n, on its first introduction, quite as viclently assailed as the plan of the wide guage. To prove that stone blocks were not so well calculated for the purposes of railways, he need only advert to the Dublin and Kingston Company, who had given up stone blocks on the ground that such expenses were entailed by their use as to render it impossible to continue their use. A similar result was to be found on the Ulster, the Croydon, and the Bolton and Bury Railways, the latter of which was under the superintendence of Mr. Hawkshaw, who in his report had not said one wcrd upon the subject. Mr. Wood had recom mended the adoption of the wooden blocks, and Mr. Hawk shaw,by hi- silence, must be supposed to be tacitly of the same opinion. With respect to the width of the guage, he had to contend against the opinion of Mr. Hawkshaw, who re commended that the whole of the rails should be pulled up, and that the works should be commenced again. He had looked through Mr. Hawkshew's Report with great care and anxiety, but he could see no reason for his arriving at the conclusion he had done. Speed was the object of all Railways, and that, in his opinion, could not be accomplished by the plan laid down by Mr. Hawkshaw. He had not only had to contend against the authority of Mr. Ilawkshaw, but that of Mr. Wood, who had never mended a narrow guage. Great advantages hail been gained by the Directors by the adoption of the wide guage, and they would be foolish indeed if they now gave it up. Then, with respect to atmospheric resistance, that, it had been clearly shown, could be overcome by the con sumption of a little more coke. One great objection against the wide guage was the great expense it entailed on the Corn peny, but that expense havingin a great measure been incurred already, very little would be saved by the adoption of the narrow guage.—(Cheers.) It was said the wide guage caused accidents—that he denied in toto ; for, if the causes of accidents on other Railways were looked to, it would seem that those circumstances which had caused accidents on other lines had been attended with no danger on the Great Western. Upon a full review of the conduct of the Directors, he thought they had preserved a proper and sound course, and that they ought to be supported in it by the Shareholders.—(Cheers.) As great mischief and irk;ury arose to the property of the Company, by the frequent discussions that had taken place as to the course to be adopted in the further construction of the line, he should conclude by proposing the following resolution :—" That this Report be approved and adopted ; and that this meet ing, being deeply sensible of the disastrous consequences that inevitably arise, by re?eated discussions as to the 'course in future to be adopted, do request the Directors to adhere to the principles they have laid down in their Report, as most conducive to the interest of the Pro prietors."—(Cheers.) Mr. HOYES seconded the amendment. He thought there could be very little difficulty in adopting the reports of Mr. Hawkshaw and Mr. Woods, because they had been confirmed by every engineer in the kingdom, with the solitary exception of Mr. Brunel. They had hitherto pur sued a plan which everybody acknowledged to be bad.— (Cries of " No, no.") As regarded speed, he considered it to be a most extraordinary thing that, although the Great Western had now been six months in operation, a greater speed had not been attained on that line than on the Liverpool and Manchester. Mr BABBAGE said he had not merely looked at the undertaking in a mechanical point of view, but had looked at it with respect to its utility and as regarded the ultimate profit.—(Hear, hear.) -If other difficulties besides mechanical difficulties were put in the way, it would requ i re a ver y comp rehensive mind indeed to get over them, and, therefore, he always attributed higher skill, and gave greater praise, to him who happily got over the economical than to him, who overcame what were called mechanical difficulties. Mechanical difficulties, no doubt, might be easily got over, but the question was at what cost ? .._(Hear, hear.) If the Proprietors wished to have opinions, they ought to have the opinions of the men most eminent in the profession. They hail heard that some eminent men had . abstained from giving their opinions, and they had assigned their reasons. Now he must say, • that no notions of delicacy need or ought to prevent any professional man giving an opinion, when that opinion was founded upon, and could be supported by, measures. With respect to the two reports before the meeting, he must say, in the first place, it had never come to his knowledge that Mr. Hawkshaw was an engineer. He was most unwilling to say any thing of a gentleman that he was unacquainted with ; but here was a Report, and, in the face of it, he would say that it was utterly unfit for their guid -nee. There was such a want of those principles in the Report, which ought to guide a scientific man, that would induce him (Mr. B.) to throw it overboard altogether. With respect to the atmospheric resistance about which so much had been said, nobody ever hearth of its being taken into calculation before. The laws of the resistance of the atmosphere to bodies moving through it, had been lone since ascertained, and these laws—like other laws of Nature —were immutable. The resistance was as to the square of the velocity.—(Several voices—" We can't hear a word. Speak up.") He would now say a word with respect to the performance of the engines, and he would first refer to Mr. Hawkshaw, who had himself con s t ructe d a railway.—( H ear, h ear .) He would probably consider that what he had done on that line was right. M r. Hawkshaw's railway was one of the most expen sive in the kingdom, for it bad cost 65,0001. per mile.—(Laughter.) Mr. H. had also adopted the continuous bearings on his line, and it was known that the gradients of that line were extremely bad. Mr. Hawkshaw reported that on that railway the speed was 23 3-10 miles per hour, with a load of 22 tons, and a con sumption of 1 1-16th lbs. of coke per ton per wile ; while, by the performance on the Great Western, Railway at somewhat greater speed, 23 3-10 miles per hour, it carried 116 tons, being within a fraction of seven times the quantity of goods, while the consumption of coke per ton per hour was less.—(Hear, and cheers.) To do the same work, it would require seven engines, with en gineers, stokers, &c., on the Manchester and Bolton line. The consumption of coke by the North Star, doing that enormous work, was only 3-10ths of I lb. of coke per ton, or one-fourth of the quantity consumed on the Manchester and Bolton line. Would the Proprietors advocate the build ng of seven engines, instead of one ?—( Hear, hear.) Would not the effect of that enormous power give the Great Western line a complete monopoly for the carriage of every pound of goods that might be sent in that direction.—(Cheers.) Comparing that speed with what had been done on the Grand Junction Railway, it appeared that the same speed was attained by the engines then carrying 39 tons, and consuming l 3.101 b. of coke per ton per mile ; being nearly one-fourth the quantity carried by the North Star engine. These were strong arguments in favour of the power and speed of the engines.—(llear.) The worthy proprietor concluded by expressing his asto nishment that Mr. Brunell, with the different interrup tions he had met with, had been able to proceed with the work in the manner he had done.—Cheers ) Mr. HAYWORTH said that considering the great impor tance of the present subject to individuals and the Com pany at large, he could not refrain from expressing his opirions,however they might differ from those of many pre sent. He had travelled 200 miles for the purpose, if possible, of benefiting the public at large, and the Proprietors at Bristol and London. He had no enmity against any individual ; and as long as he believed that Mr. Brunell was acting upon scientific principles he had given him his support, and it was not until be found that he was in error, that he opposed Hear.) The errors into which that. gentleman had ftlfen, were not trifling to him (Mr. H.), for, according to his opinion, it had taken out of his pocket no less a sum than seventy thousand pounds. It had been said that those who took the same view that he did, were mischievous What had been the result of that mischief as it was called ? Why a saving, o❑ the reconstruction of the piles alone of upwards of 448,0001.—(Cheers.) Wat that, be would ask, nothing ?—(Cheers.) He contended that very great advantage had accrued to the public and the Company by the discussions that had taken place. Some of the gentlemen had complained of the ex pense of the construction of the Bolton and Bury Line— it was true that line was expensive ; he was one of the first subscribers to it, and when he found the engineer(not the present one) was so expensive in his outlay, he determined to sink all the money he had laid out in the purchase of shares, rather than have anything further to do with it ; and he had never repented of that determination. He would request every person to read Mr. Wood's Report, and, when they had done so, he would venture to assert that they would come to the same conclusion lie had done ; namely, that it would be much better to suspend laying the rails on the wide guage. He had not formed any judgment as as to what the width of the guage would be. Atmospheric resistance was to be overcame ; and in order if possible to effect that object it was necessary to ascertain what the amount of atmospheric pressure was before large sums were expended upon machinery and works that would not succeed.—(Cheers.) The worthy Proprietor concluded by moving as an amendment to the motion of Mr. Gurney— " That the Reports of Mr. Wood and Mr. Hawkshaw contain sufficient evidence that the plans of construction pursued by Mr. Brunel' are injudicious, expensive, and ineffectual for their professed object, and ought not to be persevered in." Mr. BOUSLEY seconded the resolution. That there may have been several little mishaps or unfortunate oc currences, which may have given pain and anxiety to the Directors, there could be no doubt ; but he would submit whether it was possible for such a vast and gigantic undertaking as this was to go on at first as smooth and pleasant as could be wished ? (Hear, hear, hear.) They must be prepared to ex pect a few mishaps and disappointments ; but Mr. Brunell, the engineer, had, with great anxiety, endea voured to find nut what improvements on the line could be effected. Although some additional expense might be created by their improvements, he was certain the advan tages that would accrue would more than correspond with the outlay.—( Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he trussed that this meeting would put all differences at rest, and that the Company would go on with prosperity.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. BRANDRETEI thought it was rather inconvenient for them that Mr. Wood had not had time to finish the in quiry he had made.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Wood was a personal friend of his, and for his opinion he entertained a high respect ; but he must say that he wished Mr. Wood had distinguished his own opinions from those of others. However, there was not one of Mr. Wood's opinions with which he differed, nor one of Dr. Lardner's with which he disagreed.—(A laugh.) Yesterday he travelled on the Great Western Railway, and had had a conversation with the engineer, who told him he had now been five months in the employ of the Com pany ; that he bad formerly been employed on the London and Birmingham ; that he considered travelling in the Great Western was more pleasant and safe than travelling on the London and Birmingham ; that he had been over turned on the London and Birmingham, and his companion killed, but he considered that with the seven feet guage on the Great Western, there was little fear of an upset. One point referred to the safety of the other railways established, and nothing could be more absurd than to ask parties connected with these railways, whether or not they were unsafe.—( Hear, hear.) Another point was with respect to the income of the Company, and the prin ciples upon which that would be regulated, and he must say, that the calculations and arguments of Mr. Haa kshaw on that subject, were most unsatisfactory and unfair.—(Hear, and cheers.) Now, with respect to Mr. Wood, he would observe that his Report was founded rather upon measures than experiment, and he, also (Mr. Babbage) had by the kindness of the Directors made some measures on the Great Western Railroad with respect to the expenditure of power, which was the great article they sold—how much was usefully expended, and how much went to waste. The great obstacle to high rates of speed was alleged to be the resistance of the atmosphere. He (Mr. Brandreth), did not think that Na ture had opposed such a barrier to higher rates of speed as had been stated by Mr. Wood ; and if he found that Mr. Brunel and others had gone at a greater speed without that great expenditure of power, he would be inclined to retrace hia steps and go over the calculations upon which he had made the statements.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Brandreth here entered into calculations of the experiments made by Mr. Wood on this subject, and contended that the re sistance was greatly overstated, and instead of the re sistance being in the proportion of five to one, it was only two to one. Indeed, it scarce needed that to satisfy him, that it was extremely improbable. Nature would have opposed so great a resistance to any speed higher than thirty-five or forty miles. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE WEATHER.—Mr. Murphy stated in his Altnanack that the 9th of January (this day) would probably he the lowest degree of winter temperature, and accord ingly his prediction seems verified, for this is the coldest day we have had yet—hard frost and a fall of snow. Yesterday,. at Lambeth -street, as Mr. Hardwick was about to leave the Bench, a gentleman, apparently much disturbed in his mind, presented himself before him, to request his advice and assistance in discovering a young gentleman, who was missing, and for whose personal safety some apprehensions were entertained. The applicant stated that on Monday morning the young gentleman left the residence of his friends, in Tottenham, at a quarter past nine o'clock, and proceeded through the fields towards High Cross Church, since which time he had not been seen in the neighbourhood, and from the fact of his never having stopped from home before, and his not being heard of at the residence of any of his friends or acquaintances, it was much feared he had come to an untimely end. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the Pe nitentiary, Milbank, on the body of a young man named Bere, who died in that establishment on Sunday. It ap peared from the evidence that deceased had been convicted at the Norwich Assizes in 1836, of a capital felony, and had been subsequently sentenced to transportation for life. On account of some palliating circumstances in his case, this had lately been commuted into four years' imprison ment. About twelve months ago he had been received into the Penitentiary, being at that time in good health, and continuing so until within the last few months, when he fell into a rapid decline, which carried him off. He had received every possible attention, and had expressed his gratitude for the kindness shown to him. The Jury re turned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." Thi s is tie second death in this prison within a month. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS FROM THE FROST.— Between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Huxley, a clerk of Messrs May and Debrett, of St. Mary at-Hill, while proceeding on his way to business, along Bridge -street, Blackfriars, slipped down from treading on some ice on the foot pavement, and fell with such violence on his right side, that his thigh-bone was severely fract turcd. He was conveyed in great agony to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. Yesterday morning between seven and eight o'clock, a poor milk-woman, named Rice, was carrying her pails along Ampton-street, Gray's-Inn-road, when she slipped down and severely fractured the back part of her skull. She was removed to the University College Hos. pital. NEW i ONs ITUTION FOR THE CANADAS The folloving outline of a ti, , w Carrid'an Constitution; copied from the January Number of the British and Foreign Review, and will doubtless be read with much avidity, as embodying the views of a very popular organ of public opi nion, upon a subject of all-engrosing interest. But in pub lishing this plan of a Constitution, we are far, very far, from adopting it. In the first place, we deem its realiza ti, b y the Legislature next to impossib e ; and in the ne x t w r are o f opinino or ra'her we are perfectly satisfied , that, if a.l-.uto , !, w , ),11d he found ioad•.quate to the preven tion of an ,tortn.:l r volutionary movement. Our views.upoo tliis subject have been frequently and unequivocally expressed even before the actual breaking nut of the first rebellion ; and the events that have since taken place have but confirmed our conviction of their justness. We shall not fail to repeat them when the time comes for doing so with the rc mot..st chance of success : W e would suggest, then, in the first place, the union of the two provinces, and of the representatives of the two races in the same Elective Chambers. We should hesitate, we confess, in giving our assent to any extensive plan cif confederation of the whole of our North American provinces if, by such a plan. a separate Elective Assembly were conferred upon Lower Canada. or any portion of it. To such an assembly a preponderating French mak , ' rity would inevitably be returned, and it would. as inevitablYr form the nucleus of a future contest for nationality. We would surround the King's Representative with anExe cutive Council, chosen by the Crown and dismissable at pleasure. To such a Council, we would call all persons who , from talents, station, and property, enjoyed in a pre-eminent degree the confidence of the community in which they lived ; carefully excluding the judicial power, but freely admitting Members of the two Legislative Chambers, the heads o f de' partments, and other officers of Government. From this Council it might be the prerogative of the Governor to sum . mon, from time to time, such a Cabinet as he should deem best calculated to assist him in carrying on the ordinary busy' !less of the Government, and on great emergencies the whol e of its Members might be convened. It will be inferred from our remarks, that we would mail the Upper Chamber or Legislative Council elective. 1 1 would not, however, necessarily follow that it should in a ll respects resemble the Lower House ; though it would be d' 6 " cult, we confess, in such a community as the Canadian. t 0 very the constituency by which the two Chambers would be chosen, if both were elected by the people; but if, as w e trust will be the case in any new scheme of Government tbst may be proposed, elective municipalities be established in the rural districts, and corporations, popularly chosen, in th e towns, it would deserve consideration, whether the right °, returning members to the legislative council might not be ad' yantageously conceded, either altogether or in part, to those bodies. Other points of difference might also be introduce d ' If the Lower Chamber sat for three or four years, the Uppe r might sit for six or seven ; and to render it, during the peri od d of its session, independent both of the power of the Crown n° of the immediate action of the popular will, it might be eon' stituted a fixed and permanent body, notwithstanding the di g " solution of the Lower House by the Governor. The posse g ,i sion of a c er t a i n amoun t o f p ro p er ty, an d a m ore a dvance . ; age than twenty-one years, might also be requited a qualifications in its Members. A Legislative Council formed would, we believe, be as aristocratic as the countrl could produce, or as the people would c h eer f u lly su bmit t O l and it would, we also believe, be composed of respectable sa il intelligent men. To it, therefore, we would yield the met e contested right of trying impeachments preferred by t'd House of Assembly, subject to an appeal to the House Lords, or to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. L The only change of importance that would take place in t" e constitution of the House of Assembly, would be conseque ° upon the union of the two provinces. A numerous Ang i i ° ,l Canadian minority—or it might be an actual majority_w o ' be returned ; and the Executive Government, instead of bell in open hostility with the Representatives of the people, w° 4 , at once be placed in the more advantageous position of hol ing the scales between two powerful and contending parties. We would also claim for our NorthAmericanColonies ge a u e , rally, that di rec t re p resentat i on i n t h e P ar li amen t of t", United Kingdom, to whi c h th e ir i m p or tan c e justly entit le. ; them. The objection fOrmerly urged by Mr, Burke t ° similar scheme cannot now be maintained. The p o wer 0 , sream has bridged the Atlantic, and the length and uncertsi° of voj ages to and from America are already matters of h i ; tory. Thus the Member for the district of Toronto, 5 1 ° t eal, Quebec, or Halifax, would require but little more tirad to reach the capital of the empire than the Representatife. oo the Orkneys. We believe too that this direct representat l 4 would be a powerful link to bind the Colonies to tho par e ) State ; but we should very seriously doubt, whether a fedef g to union of all the colonies in British America would tentl io preserve and strengthen the integrity of the empire. to qu'stions of international law, if we may be permitted. o apply the term to such a state of things, which would 10 1.1 between a Colonial Federal Government and the ImPe l ; 1 10 Government, would be dangerous and complicated. tt claim to tax our former colonies was such a question, O T Ae r severed the empire. We would rather, therefore, consiv e r the Government at home as th e cen t ra l p owe r, p r esiding both the United Kingdom and the Colonies ; but by our American fellow-subjects a voice in the Imperial Leg - o t lature, and a free system of local government, we would , e r the same time, protect them against the exercise of that po w in a manner prejudicial to their interests. EXTRACTS OF LETTERS FROM CIRCASSIA. ---....--- PSROMUZ (near Pshat), OCT. 15 i . t e The people to the northward have suffered mu c h from I s torrents of rain, and now suffer from their apprehensions winter campaign, with which they are threatened by the ' 4 , neral of the Russian army, which was landed in Semez (r e , called S. udjouk in the maps, and the bay where tbe was taken) on the 22d or 23d of last month, after a he a cannonade from a strong fleet for two days, and is now e fi r e gaged in constructing a fo r t, an d it is said th a t a f ter that e' n , is finished, another is to be constructed in the vale of Med and the country thereafter devastated, and houses burnt, O b , flocks and herds plundered, " unless the people wish it t ° to otherwise," that is to say, unless they consent to corne a , terms. Now this is what the chiefs are resolved to prele b - 0 and they have sent to beg of me to stay and aid them in tbii t endeavour. I believ e I am no t t oo sangu i ne i n h o ping 0 0 country will be saved. There appear to me at present 5 ° b , strong reasons for that hope, and, firstly, th e str e ngth of t / vital principle here existing, e. g., we have gotten the eet,bo our oath—the great national oa'h, administered along r whole line of coast as far as Ghagra ; and, better still, e d tended by a mission, across the central chain, into the str ° ,;3 country behind Soukoom-Kale, where it has been adoc",, with the greatest enthusiasm. It has been adopted i n Abs q sak, where, as you know, the Russians h ave b e en stooJ i withstood. The thieves and traitors at Adenghoom have be r signally punished, and the Russian trading in Shapsook„ e o tirely or nearly suppressed. Finally, the whole country O. Ghagra to Kenatchai has been excited to the greatest V it i oi of enthusiasm, and the strongest determination to resist. it that is wanted here is to sustain through the winter the s r A l of those now invaded, and who have suff ere d so mu ch an o f long. Secondly, the convicti o n I f ee l f rom t h e natn,r e t 0 things, as well as my privat e a d v i ces f rom E ng l an d, O a ot crisis nearly approaches, in which this country will not, can ° be abandoned to its fate thus recklessly. PSEODIUZ, OCT. 16.—Sinc e I l as t wrote to you the thing of importance I have learnt is the Russian General Pf fi e tending to have a docum en t a b ou t th i s coun t r y, t o which: si g natures of the Sultan and Emperor are said to be appen cic p ; and fir the inspection of which he has invited the Circassi l t to send deputies I have not yet learned its n a t u re, b ; 1 8 0 0 have scarce a doubt that it is s o me fresh attempt a t itnpos— in regard to the cession of the country.

The document of the g! l o s sian General shows what cajolement, bribery, an d scduc ti o the Russians at present put in operation, to have their tresito of peace, or rather capitulation, acceded to, but, luckilP i o yet without effect; for Indar Oghi Noghai a rri ve d yester e d from the north, to summon the warriors of this neighbour to take the field, as the Russian General has renewed offer of the treaty, accompanied with a threat, or rather nouncement, that, if it be not accepted, be will commenc e devastations Within a week.
