In announcing a SYLVAN FETE, The Proprietor's aim will he directed to enable the Subscribers, Nobility, Gentry and the Public, to witness those RUSTIC SPORTS which are nearly obsolete, but the observance of which procured for this country the title of " Merrie England," and which, in the Olden Thee, constituted the principal Amusements of a country fair !

A display of the noble science of ARCHERY ! will take place by the Members of the Toxopholite Clubs, in their Forest Costume.

THE LATE FATAL DRAT ACCIDENT IN BETHNAL ciszem.—Tuesday Mr. Baker h e ld an inquest at the London Hos pital, on the body of David Roberts, aged forty , a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Whitbread a nd brewers. Particulars of this ease have already appeared. On Co., Friday evening deceased was riding on the shafts of a dray, which Robert Kirby, now in the above hospital with a broken thigh, was driving along the Cam bridge-road, near one of the arches of the Eastern Counties Rail. way. The noise of a doa n-train frightened the dray.horscs, and they started away. Deceased jumped off, and, trying to s top the horses, go( entangled in the traces, was thrown down, and o ne l of the wheels passed over the upper part of his body, causing Injuries of which he died in that hospital on Saturday last. Kirby was also knocked down, and his thigh fractured by the same accident. His recovery is uncertain. Verdict, "Accidental death... FATAL STEAM EXPLOSION. — Tue , day afternoon *man named Samuel Norcott, aged 45 years, an engineer's assis tant expired in Guy' Hospital, from the effects of the severe in. juries he had abstained by being scalded by the escape of steam on board the Wasp, a Richmond steamer, under circumstances already narrated in this journal.

After a sumptuous dejeune the bride and bridegroom started M Anglesea-ville, near Gosport, to pass the boneyanon. HIGII WATER:AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning .. 0 minutes after 0 I Evening .. 13 minutes after 0 THE SON, L - ONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1845. Mr. HUME was rejoiced to hear that the Government intended to take up the subject next session. A long conversation followed as to the manner in which the business of the House should be conducted, in the course of which it was suggested by Mr. HualE that the House should meet on Wednesdays at twelve, and sit till half-past six for the disposal of private Bills, and measures of minor importance, while Mr. C. BULLER, suggested that the next session a Board should be ap pointed, to which all private Bills should be referred, and which should examine evidence and report on the preamble of the Bills to the House. Lord PALMERSTON, after having animadverted on the carelessness of Railway management, proceeded to draw the attention of the House to the state of the de fences of the country. France possessed a large steam navy, and our steam navy ought to be increased, and our naval arsenals properly secured, so as to be able to set at defiance all threats of hostile invasion. Sir B. PEEL deprecated the introduction of such topics. We were at present on the most friendly terms with France, and there was no probability of those amicable relations being interrupted. Ile could, how ever, assure the Noble Lord, that if the necessity should arise for this country to enter into hostilities with any other Power, at no former period of her history was she better prepared to do so than at present. Sir C. NAPIER complained that our ships-of-war were under-manned, and our steam-ships were inferior to those of other nations. The House then resolved itself into Committee of Supply. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to Mr. J. ABEL SMITII, an nounced the intention of the Government, on a future day, to propose a vote for the sufferers by the fires at Quebec. On the vote for pensions to ministers of Dissenting congregations, Mr. HINDLEY moved that the amount proposed to Independent ministers be withdrawn. Mr. CARDWELL opposed the motion, which was lost by a majority of 44, the numbers being, for Mr. HIND LEY'S motion 8, against it 52. The vote of 32,2641. for Non-conformist ministers in Ireland, was opposed by Mr. S. CnAwronn on account of its smallness, and by Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. hIND LEY 04 the ground that no clergy should be paid by the State. On a division, there appeared for the vote 71, against it 13; majority for the vote .58. On the sum of 22,5654 being proposed for the colony of New Zealand, a long discussion arose, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. HumE, Mr. SHEIL, ►Sir R. PEEL, and other Hon. Members; but ultimately the vote was agreeed to with out a division. Numerous other votes were agreed to, after which the House resumed. Several measures were then forwarded a stage, and ,he House adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock. The news we have received from the United States by the steam-packet Acadia is of great importance and interest. She arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday, and brings intelligence of the formal annexation of Texas to the Federal Union of the American States, by the con sent of the Texan Congress. It is wholly improbable, we are persuaded, to calcu late, before hand, all the important bearings and con sequences attaching to this extraordinary act of political degeneracy and self-degradation in a young Republic which, having through many arduous struggles vindi cated its independence, had only three months before secured the guarantee of the two oldest and most powerful monarchies of Europe for its territorial in ' tegrity. We may blush for this inconceivable indiffe rence to the dignity and advantages of a national and independent position among the established Govern ments of the American continent, o❑ the part of men who are Britons either by birth or by descent; but the people who have voluntarily Eaten out of the rank of nations—neither coerced by superior force, and by the pressure of misfortune, nor driven to that alternative from any lack of the most important phys'cal elements and natural advantages which constitute the bases of a State's material power—can have no more claim upon our sympathy than upon our respect. It were no matter, therefore, if all memory of the ci-devant Texan people were to pass as completely out of the minds of the English public, as the national identity of l'exas has merged for ever under her acquiescence in the scheme of voluntary annexation to and incorpora tion with the Federal Republic of the United States. But there may be contingent considerations arising out of the transaction which are calculated to impart a high degree of interest, with the English public, to some fea tures in the remarkable history of this transaction. The dates of particular events that go to the making up of that history are of manifest importance. On the 16th of June last, the " Congress" of Texas received . a "message" from Mr. President JONES, announcing and conveying the propositions of the United States for an nexation, and submitting the same for their determina tion. On the 18th of June the Senate passed a resolu tion, unanimously approving and confirming the pro posed scheme of annexation with the United States, and other resolutions unanimously passed by the Chambers warranting and enacting such annexation. On the next day the Senate passed a further resolution, in virtue of which the introduction of the United States' troops over the Texan territory was authorized and applied for. The Acadia brings over a variety of papers and documents that throw a further light on this singular affair. Among these will be found a " memorandum of the conditions preliminary to a treaty of peace as agreed upon by ASHBEL SMITH on the part of the Republic of Texas, and M. CUEVAS on the part of Mexico." Of these preliminary conditions, No. 1, declares that " Mexico consents to and acknowledges the independence of Texas." No. 2, is to this effect : " Texas engages that she will stipulate in the treaty NOT TO ANNEX herself or become subject to any coun try a hattoever." This memorandum, executed at Wash ington (on the Brazos), bears date 27th March, 1845. It is signed by ASUBEL SMITH, and its authenticity, On comparison with the original document, is attested by the Baron DE CYPRAY and Mr. BatexnEaD respectively, the accredited Ministers to the Court of Mexico from France and England. In a subsequent paper we find that t was communicated to the two latter by Capt. ELLIOTT, ;her MAJESTY'S Britannic Chargé d'Affaires at Texas. We apprehend that this must be the same gentleman who acquired so brilliant a reputation for English diplo macy in China, by his sagacity, promptitude, energy, and decision. His vigilance in Texas seems to be equally testified by the turn which these demonstrations of anti annexation policy actually assumed prior to the determi nation of events in that astounding vote of the Texan Congress, to NI, hich we have above alluded. So early as the 19th of May last the suspicions of the Mexican agent seem to have been fully revived, for under that date M. CUEVAS records the " additional declaration," which has this significant proviso : '• If this negotiation should net be realised, on account of circumstances, or because Texas, influenced by the law of the United States on annexation, shall consent thereto, either directly or indirectly, then, the answer which has been given under this date, to the proposi tions of Texas, (namely, that Mexico will accede to the princip!es proposed by Texas, as the bases of a final treaty), shall be null and void, and of no effect." On the 4th of June, President AARON JONES issued his proclamation, announcing the cessation of all hosti lities by sea and by land, between Texas and Mexico. The treaty, which had been prepared in conformity with these conditions, was rejected by the Texan Senate in a secret session ; on the 21st of June the injunction of secresy was removed ; and the annexation proposal accepted and confirmed by unanimous vote. After the disgraceful and fraudulent intrigues set on foot and conducted, to the last moment of his tenure of office, by TYLER, the ex-President of the United States, in Mexico itself, and among the servants of the Mexican Government, for the dismemberment of the Mexican dominions, there is nothing in the palpable bad faith of the Americanized President of the Texan Re public to excite our astonishment. What we want to know is, what can our Ministers at Mexico and at Texas —what can our representative at Washington (U. S.) have been about to have allowed themselves to be so obviously duped in March last, as to have interfered in one quarter of the New World to set on foot proposals for a treaty to secure the recognition of Texan inde pendence ; and in another, to obtain the concurrence of Mexico in its conditions, when, all the time, those com munications were being carried on between Texas and the . United States, which have thus speedily issued in the signal insult tints put by both of them, conjointly, on the good faith and dignity of Mexico, and the me iator ship of Great Britain ? Mexico, which, throughout the affair, has certainly conducted herself with signal pru dence and forbearance, has been grossly outraged Great Britain and France appear to have been signally duped ; and Yankee cunning and duplicity have cer tainly checkmated the fairer game of European policy and European honesty. Why did Lord STANLCY (or ABERDEEN) retain Captain Ewe' ? Why does the Crown retain Lord STANLEY at the heal of a Depart- ment whose blunders vibrate, in incessant oscillation, between the two hemispheres, and are felt, almost simultaneously, at Heligoland and New Zealand—at. Texas and the Cape of Good Hope ? Madrid papers to the 231 have come to hand. The Casieilano and the ileraldo, which have hitherto op posed the QUEEN'S journey to the Basque provinces, say, that "as the phyticiaus have deolstre4 the baths of iauta Agueda to be indispensable to the recovery of her MAJEsTv's health," they shall no longer oppose her visit. The inference to be drawn from this is, that NAnvat:z and hiscolleagues have given way to the influence of CHRISTINA, and that the Ministers will consent to the visit. The Herald() again affirms that the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS will cross the Pyrenees and have an interview with the Royal Family of Spain. A lithographed portrait of the Infante Don ENnicttitc, which had just been exhibited at a bookseller's window in the Calle de Carretas, was attracting the attention of all Madrid. MADRU) BOURSE. —Three per Cents., 281 for cash; 281 for account. Five per Cents. no quotations. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday, the third of the " three glorious days," and, as might have been ex pected, they aU comment at considerable length on the fruits of that revolution. The Moniteur contains an ordonnance intrusting to M. DUCIUTEL, the Minister of the Interior, the department of Foreign Affairs during the absence of M. GUIZOT, who is gone to his estate of Val Richen, in Normandy. Tuesday having been entirely devoted to rejoicings, the Bourse did not open. .The Gazette de BVe, which first propagated the statement of the apprehension and escape of the murderer of ➢I. LEU, acknowledges that it had been misled, and declares that the matter is still involved in mystery. The Helvetic, of the 26th inst., says ;—" The regime of 1793 is in full vigour at Lucerne. The death of M. LEU has furnished a fresh occasion for acting harshly against the ad versaries of the Jesuits. Three inns, one of them kept by a person named TR9LLEUIt, a native of Soleure, have been closed by the police, and their owners thrown into prison. M. TROLLEUR received orders to quit the city within eight hours. Two commercial travellers have also been arrested without any cause. The city is already full of soldiers, and four more companies have just been called in. The tribunal has condemned 117 more adversaries of the Jesuits to ten months' imprisonment, which brings up the total number to 384." The Duchess of KENT left Vienna on the 21st of July.

A notice given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night, that he would this evening move an humble address to her Majesty, praying that the sum of 20,000/. be granted for the relief of the sufferers by the late calamitous fire at Quebec, has given much satisfaction in commercial circles connected with the colony. But, surely, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to have known that another fire equal in destructiveness has occurred in the devoted city of Quebec. it is, therefore, • pre sumable that he will ask for an additional amount this evening, so that the wants of the British subjects, as well as those of French origin, who have so severely suffered in Canada by two immense conflagrations, may be most speedily met. It will be seen by the advertising columns of The Sun this evening that an appeal is made by the " Committee of Relief" at Quebec, and for subscriptions in money, and for contributions of clothing, bedding, &c., which the Committee in London (Mr. Robert Carter, of Leadenhall-street, is the honorary secretary thereof) will undertake to forward by the most rapid con veyance to Quebec. There is no time to be lost, as the next steamer will leave Liverpool early next week. And when it is known that upwards of 20,000 Bri tish subjects have been reduced to misery by the two fires, a well founded hope may surely be entertained that those in affluence, as well as those of moderate means, will come for ward in aid of their houseless and distressed fellow-subjects in Canada. There are not any arrivals of interest in the City this morning. The fluctuating state of the weather is a subject of conver sation in almost all circles in the City. It is not at all be • lieved that up to the present moment any damage has been done to the crops of a serious nature. The Funds are, however, still heavy; Consols for Account have just been sold at 98%, and for. Money at 98% and 14 Bank Stock has receded from, 211% to 210, as it is appre hended that, should the weather prove unfavourable, there may be such a serious drain upon the coffers of the Bank for specie, as to render the continental exchanges most mate rially against us. India Stock has receded from 273 to 272. In the Foreign Stock the alterations have been very trifling this morning. The only quotations have been for Mexican from 36 to 36 1 4 ; for Colombian ex Venezuelian, 17%; for Venezuelian, 44% % ; for Spanish, 26%; and for the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 62% %.

The Dublin and Galway Bill having been lost for this session, the Provisional Committee have to acquaint the scrip•holders and the public that, at a meeting of the Board, held this day, it has been re solved to proceed to procure an Act in the next session of Parlia ment, for making the railway between Dublin and Galway, the suc cess of which appears to be insured by the decision of the House of Commons in favour of the merits of this line, and the strong expres sions of a like tendency elicited in the debates in the House of Lords. The line will have the strenuous support of the great landed pro prietors generally, and of other interests throughout the west of Ire land, as well as the cordial co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. The interests of the present scrip-holders will be carefully protected in the arrangements to be made, full particulars of which will be published in a few days. FITZN. FRENCH, Chairman. J.

After the private business had been disposed of, Mr. FIELDEN, in moving fur certain returns con nected with the property-tax, took occasion to call the attention of the house to the arbitrary and unjust man ner in which the tax was assessed. He had been rated at 24,0001. ; after great trouble that was reduced to 12,0001., but still it was too high. He had offered to produce his bookl, and himself and his partners were ready to make oath that they had not realised such a sum, but the Commissioners refused to reduce the as sessment. The Board could assess at what amount they pleased, and there was no appeal except to the members of the Board themselves. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the country ought to be obliged to the Honourable Gentleman for having brought forward the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the conduct of the Commissioners, and said there had been a difference of opinion as to the value of the stock of cotton. Mr. FIELDEN explained. Mr. HAwEs thought this was a proper case for inquiry. He considered it an instance of the flagrant unfairness of the Property-tax Act. Mr. BERNAL thought that during the recess the Go vernment should seriously consider whether it would be advisable to continue this unpopular tax. Mr. HUME complained that all the Commissioners were political nominees, their conduct had been disgrace ful, and he attributed their treatment of the Hon. Mem ber for Oldham to a political grudge. Sir R. PEEL could not believe that any person holding the office of Commissioner could be actuated by such un worthy motives. After a few words from Mr. BROTHERTON and Capt. PECHELL, the motion was agreed to. On the order of the day being read for going into Com mittee of Supply, Mr. BEnNAL called the attention of the Government to the recent accident on the South•Eaatern Railway, and asked what steps had been taken to prevent the recur rence of such accidents for the future ? Sir G. CLEaxsaid that the Government had dispatched an officer to make inquiries on the spot, but, as yet, his report had not been received ; when it was, it would be fully considered by the Board of Trade, with a view of affording better security to the public. After a few words from Mr. CLIVE and Mr. P. How.tr.D, Sir It. PEEL said that the responsibility which attached to those connected with the management of railways was, at present, insufficient to insure the safety of the public. He believed that many of these railway accidents might have been avoided by the adop tion of proper precautions, and he thought they had a right to demand that railway companies should give greater securities against the occurrence of accidents than they had hitherto done.

(From the Times.) By the arriial of the Therii, at/V 4 V, received in telligence from Bomlay to the itilfi of June, from Calcutta, to the 9th, Madras to the l lih, and from China to the 6th of May. We regret to state that cholera bas been very prevalent in Bombay and Poonahi and that it has raged in Lahore to a fearful extent. The letters from Lahore repeat the announcement con tained in our last dispatches of the appointment of the Siidar Jowahir Singh to be the Prime Minister, and the retirement of Ghoolab Singh to his fortress of Juinoo. Prince Peahera Singh is stated to be in rebellion against the authorities at Lahore. The attack on Peshawur has been abandoned by Dost ➢iahomed and his son. The Governor-General remained in Calcutta, but it was expected he would proceed in October to the north-west provinces to reduce the Sikhs to order. From China we learn that a riot bad taken place at Victoria ; it had been suppressed without much difficulty. The British troops had been withdrawn from Kolungsoo, in accordance with the terms of our treaty on the 23d of March, and'the Chinese took possession. _ . . An English merchant having built a vessel of seventy tons, gave the command of it to a Chinese named Fowqua, to enable him to levy a species of black mail on the native smug gling boats engaged in the cpium trade. Suspicions were excited. Fowqua was seized, tortured, and denounced a hundred persons as being implicated in the transaction. The mate and gunner t,f the Ariel, having on board upwards of 100,000 dollars, conspired to seize her, but were ultimately defeated. The mate was killed, and the gunner wounded. COMMERCIAL REPORT. (From the Overland Englishman) No material change has be n observable in our markets during the past week, for, although it is probable they may be affected by the news received by the Bentinck steamer, which came in on the 6th instant, sufficient time has not as yet elapsed for this to be manifested. We are now in receipt of London dates to the 24th of April, and perhaps the most important commercial intelligence received is the result of the April indigo sale, which is very far from satisfac. tory, nor can we learn any sufficient reason for the inactivity stated to have prevailed throughout it. The accounts of the ruling of alinost all other articles of export from hence are else even less favourable than those received by the previous opportu. pity, the only exception of any iniportadce being sugar, the market for which is stated to have somewhat recovered from the unprecedentedly depressed state it was in shortly after the re duction in the duties. Notwithstanding, however, the little pros pect held out of shipments proving remunerative, we cannot say we look forward to any material falling off in the demand here, at all events until stocks are considerably enhanced. Imports have not, as yet, shown any decided symptoms of im. provement, and it is impossible to form any idea as to how long this miserable state of inactivity will last, as the ruling of exchange and the enhanced rate of duties will prevent im:Jorters from moving the market by accepting lower rates, and we have, therefore, only to look to the reduction of stocks in the up-country marts for an increased demand. The Government notification quoted in our last had its effect on the ruling of exchange, which at one time declined to Is. I Odd. ; this, however, was not long maintained, and we have now again to quote Is. Ild. to Is. 11}d. per rupee as the rate for first chop bills, hut at this good paper has been in more request than for some time past. Tonnage continues abundant, but it is difficult to effect ship. ments at more than half.a.crown under the rates ruling on the 2d. We have but little to add to or change in the report we gave of the crop on the 2d instant; some parties in Jessore and Rajeshaye have been complaining of having had rather too much rain of late, but we do not think the total out-turn will be much affected thereby. The weather continues fine, with the exception of a few squalls which have been experienced in Calcutta during the past week, and the rivers are still low. Some concerns on the banks of the Bhaugurutty and in Moor shedabad, Rajeshaye, and Bhaugudpore will be at fhll work before the end of this month. In some parts of Tirhoot fine rain was experienced on the 22d and 26th ult., which enabled them to resow the lands which had failed, and should the rains hold of we are in hopes these sowings will not prove too late. In many concerns in the eastern districts they have already se cured their low lands, and have, in some instances housed a quarter of their anticipated out.turn, and expect in about a fortnight to commence their second cuttings. From the westward we have no change to notice, the accounts continuing generally favourable, as stated in our last. We hope by the next mail to be enabled to give a more accurate estimate of the probable outturn of the crop, which is even as yet very undecided. A few parcels of first and good second quality Benares have come to hand and realised former rates, but the rivers have not as yet risen sufficiently to admit of our bazaar being well supplied, and low sugars are extremely light in stock. In Dates we hear of but little doing, the only kinds procurable being very inferior. Khanr has again attracted attention, and holders having accepted rather lower rates, a good business has been done at about 5 rupees to sr. 4a. for good dry bazaar sorts. Exports from Ist instant up to date amount to 33,967 mds. Saltpetre—This staple has continued in good request for Great Britain, and shipments have gone forward freely at full rates ; for France and North America, however, there has not been much doing. Raw Silk —During the past week but little activity has been manifested in this market ; a few parcels have, however, been taken at about former rates, but the generality of shippers appeared still disposed to wait further accounts from England, unless tempted by a very considerable reduction. The accounts just received by the Hindostan steamer being of so gloomy a nature, will we should think, even further check operations, unless the native holders submit to a decline corresponding to that which has taken place at home. Stocks are already getting heavy, and we understand that large parcels have been kept in the Alefussil with a view of keeping up prices. Exports to Great Britain from let instant up to date amount to 258 Inds. Cotton—The demand for this staple continues dull, accounts from China are again unfavourable and the stock up country is getting heavy. Not a singlo bale has been exported since our last. Opium—By the Fire Queen steamer we are in receipt of Canton dates to the 29th of April, in which Patna was quoted at 660 dolls. to 690 dolls., and Benares at 650 dolls, to 670 dolls. per chest. This did not, however, affect our market at all, and we still quote Patna at Commpany's 1,580 rupees, and Benares at 1,475 per chest. The stock in the Company's Godown consists of 3,562 chests of Patna, and 1,285 of Benares. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—We can scarcely find any alteration to notice under this head, but if anything there has been rather more doing, without however the slightest advance in prices. All parties are now anxiously looking forward to'some stir in the up. marts, and we hear that the accounts from Mirzapere have of late been rather more favourable. Shirtings, both bleached and grey, have been placed to a fair extent, the latter continuing rather more saleable. White Jaconeta have been in moderate demand, and consider. able sales are reported, but still at very low prices. Greys have been somewhat less enquired for. In mulls and book muslins transactions have been very limited, and the same may be said of lappets and lappet scarfs, which are difficult of sale at former rates. Coloured and printed goods—Chintz has been in moderate de mand, and a few sales are reported at about former rates. Turkey red cloths have sold to some extent, especially twills, but on some descriptions a slight decline has been submitted to. Woollens—No improvement can be quoted in the demand for these goods, and in fact they are not in the least inquiry. White Mule Twist—The inquiry has not of late been very brisk, but a moderate amount of sales have nevertheless been effected without any further decline. Coloured yarn—Under this head there has been but little doing since our last, the only sale we have heard of being a few bales of British Dye Turkey Red. Copper—A few sales have been effected at about our tact quota tions, hut the dealers have not as yet appeared in the market, and there is no general demand. Iron— We still hear of a few speculative transactions, which have the effect of maintaining prices, which would otherwise be quite nominal, as the native merchants show 00 disposition to purchase. Spelter—Several sales have been effected at rather advanced rates, notwithstanding the heady stock. Lead and Tin Plates— We are cot aware of any sales during the past week, but tin plates have engaged more attention and are held at somewhat higher rates. Beer—The large shipments have caused purchasers to operate with caution, and sales have not been very heavy.

The following is a transhtion of an address presented to his Majesty on Tuesday, by the Consiatory of the Dutch London Church : " Sire,—We, a deputation of the Consistory of the Dutch Pro testant Church in London, established in the year 1550 by royal charter of King Edward the Sixth, beg leave, on the occasion of your Majesty honouring this country with a visit, to approach your royal presence with the expressi'n of our loyal and dutiful attachment to your royal person and house, and of our most sincere wishes for the prosperity of our native land, your Majesty's domi nions. " As, on the auspicious event of your Majesty's accession to the throne of the Netherlands, we have united with all your Majesty's sub ;cets in the most fervent prayers for the welfare of our King and country, so we unfeignedly rejoice in the opportunity of personally laying before your Majesty, on behalf of the congregation and our selves, the assurance of these our unaltered sentiments. " Whenever we call to mind the history of our Church, now for nearly three centuries established within this metropolis, it is always with the proudest satisfaction we dwell on the facts, that from her very first existence she has so effectually cooperated in founding the national independence, and securing the civil and religious liberty of the Netherlands ; that, in later times also, she has never refused or withheld a helping hand, wherever solicited or desired ; and has gone on until this day, affording consolation and relief to the unfortunate or indigent countrymen of her mem. bers, and providing a quiet and comfortable asylum for infirmity and old age. " Upon these grounds, Sire, we venture to recommend her to your royal protection and favour ; whilst we continue to offer up our humble turplication: to the:num of Gray that tho choice t bl:siings, both spiritual and temporal, may be abundantly poured down upon your Majesty. " Done in vestry this 26th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1845. " 11. GEIILE, D.t)., Chairman." The deputation headed by the Rev. Dr. Gehle, and consisting o Messrs. T. G. Smith, F. W. Sack, John Vink, L. B. Schr;ider, and P. Van den Ende, having been conducted into the royal pre sence by his Excellency Bdron Dade!, the Rev. Dr. Gehle read the address, which was most graciously received by his Majesty, who returned an extempore answer and immediately afterwards entered freely into conversation with Dr. Gehlq—and the respective members of the deputation ; expressing an intention, if circumstances would permit, to attend Divine service at their church on Sunday next. RAIL WA Y INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND MANCHESTER DIRECT INDE• PENDEN RAILWAY with a BRANCH THROUGH THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES TO CREWE. (Remington's Line). Amongst the numerous, we might almost say innume rable projects of lines with which the public journals and the public mind are filled to very repletien, we have no hesitation in at once pointing to the above as the most simple in its proposed operation, the most impor tant in its probable result. There are many reasons for this, which cannot fail, as we think, to strike all who calmly and fairly consider the subject. In the first place, it is a line, el " its heading clearly states, both " Direct and Independent, running almost as the crow flies, from the commercial capital to the court capital of this vast empire; an easy, economical, certain, and speedy communication, both for man and the pro duce of man's labour, from the manufacturing to the metropo litan head quarters. In the second, it is a scheme which will, if, and when, eventually carried in its purity and its integrity, he a knock down blow to the long nourished notion of Birmingham and Great Western infallibility, and although we are anything but ill-wishers to the prosperity of either of those great under takings, yet it is our firm opinion that this latter consideration is, or should be, in itself quite sufficient to make the public qua public hail the proposed line with equal satisfaction and sincerity. There are many and peculiar matters connected with the history of this scheme which present it, apart from weightier considerations, as one of considerable interest to the railway world—but into these it is not our intention in the present article to enter. There is also, or to speak more correctly, there is to be, a rival line, but until that rival line shall be in a sufficiently matured state to speak to some extent for itself, we think it would be as useless as unbecoming in us to enter into the question of the real or supposed relative merits of the two pro jects, and we shall therefore, for the present, content ourselves with a brief and succinct account of " Remington's Line;' not as it was last year, or as it might have been, or ought to have been at any time, but simply and straightforwardly , as it is. Its main object, then, is, as we have already stated, to ea to the commercial, manufacturing, and trading world, and to the public in general, the shortest and moil econotaioal railway route possible between the two most important termini in Eng land. With this chief and grand view in the outset, the " Direct London and Manchester " will take for its starting place, at the former locale, King's-cross, one of the most con venient and most centrically situated spots on the north side of , the metropolis. From this it will pass round Muswell-hill , and then will take a line passing through or near Friern Barnet, Chipping Barnet, St. Alban's, Luton, Selanes Ampthill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Leicester, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Burton, Uttov eter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, and Stockport, to Manchester. The length of the entire line, as above laid down, is stated by its engineer to be under 177 miles; and when we come to con sider the unequalled importance of the termini, and the vast consequence of the different districts through which it is des tined to pass—when we consider, also, to what an extent th e country between London and Manchester is at this moment intersected by existing or projected lines, we really think that Mr. Remington has exhibited no small portion of ingenuity , to give it no higher name, in thus contriving to get 177 miles of really independent railroad. Besides the places already enumerated, as either on or near the proposed line, there are to be added those actual lines 0, industry and activity, Bury, Bolton, Ashton-under-Line, an d Oldham, cum multis aliis—all of which must be more or less benefited by it. Again, it may be remarked, that the thickly: populated dis tricts between the metropolis and St. Alban's, together wit h the important town of Bedford itself, and the entire country north of it to Leicester, are at present utterly without the ad vantage of railway communication with each other or wit h London. Looking a little, also, into futurity, as in suc h matters we always should do, we cannot but foresee the more than likelihood orthis trunk becoming eventually the " father, of a line" of railway communication between the English a " t d l Scotch capitals, and even between London and Glasgow , an the entire north and north-east of Scotlond. Within a short time—indeed - a very short time—this pro j ect has sprung from inactivity and depression into vigour and tu s , fairest promise. It is not mariteeeeks since one was alines,' laughed at if, while lamenting its actual state of torpidity , c' n° ,rein were bold enough even to hint at its possible resuscitation roost an untimely grave. An honest expression of one's hope the what, it must be confessed, looked like death, would turn nut t° be only a trance, was rewarded by at the least a most contet u r tuous smile. Now mark the change ; a great deal of patience, and no small portion of perseverance, on the part of its poi jeeters, is already repaid by the most unmistakeable signs an symptoms of their scheme's well-being and well-doing. vre There is yet one important feature of this line whi ch must by no means overlook—and this for two consideratio ns ' The one its own intrinsic value ; the other its relative value 4s regards Liverpool. The branch to the Pinteries whic h n e t lately been proposed, and received with such enthusiasm ne, only by those principally concerned, but by the public gin rally, will give to the entire of that populous and (if w e ra be allowed the expression) paying district which is corapeoi l , between Uttoxeter and Crewe, the most ready way ands i s able means of communication thence to London, same branch line will most unquestionably offer to Lt. pool the nearest railway communication from London. By the time our next number shall appear we shall do u . tittv.7. • ite be in a position to go more fully and minutely into the • of this line. In Ste meantime, we think we have said :la._ enough to show any one of even common observation atnbfatge7:. direct and contingent—for positive and prob. ble ad' both to public and proprietor—few lines bot h, projected have been so rich in premises s nd in promises-- too, too, equally well-founded and well-grounded.
