This day (Monday) being the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, which was fought October 21, 1805, is an ever-memorable one in the history of this country. line return of the time when In the present Number of this influential Whig oracle occurs an article on the subject of " Young England," of whose principles of action, the Re viewer speaks in terms of very lofty disdain. This is no more than might have been anticipated, consi dering that " Young England " has more than once expressed itself in no very flattering terms as re spects Whiggery, and even hinted its suspicions that it is a " worn out" creed, as much so as the ultra- Toryism professed and acted on by Lord Eldon. But while ridiculing the views of " Young England," the Reviewer is forced to confess that it is entitled to more attention than it seems to have received, adding that though " it is nowhere numerous, it has never theless had some influence on the proceedings of the House of Commons, owing to the ability of its Mem bers in that House. In the House of Lords it is not avowedly represented by more than one lay Peer aral a Bishop. But its influence is greater than its num bers, and its organization is on the whole complete." We are then told that it is flighty and extravagant in its views of social and political reform—a chang9 usually made by those who have no more definite ob jection to urge against the principles of a party. But does the charge of extravagance come with pro priety from an advocate of Whig policy ? Have the Whigs never erred in this respect ? Was there no extravagance in Lord John Russell's acknowledge ment of the finality of the Reform Bill, which was like Canute's address to the billows on the sea-coast, "Thus fur shalt thou come and no further ?" Was there no extravagance—we use the mildest term—in the Whigs delaying their famous, wholesale free-trade declaration, till the moment when they were leaving office, and the country was about to proceed to an election ? The charge of extravagance against" Young England" comes with a peculiar bad grace from a Whig Reviewer, and suggests many recollections which for the credit of his party, it were far better were forgotten. "Early Administrations of George the Third" is a delightful paper from the pen of Mr. Macaulay. It is full of information, evincing an acquaintance, not only with the history, but with the dome•tic memoirs of the period, is enriched with some graphic sketches of character, and piquant anec dotes, and penned in that easy, fluent, vigorous style which we so much admired in the author's former ar ticles. " Recent Developments of Puseyism" is written in a spirit decidedly inimical to that heresy, of which the Reviewer confidently predicts the speedy downfal, remarking, " that the very progress of high Church principles will precipitate their doom by rousing the human mind, after a period of temporary delusion, to re-examine them. The present retro gression is but the recoil with which truth is pre paring herself for a more energetic spring. It is the reflux, not of the ebbing, but of the advancing wave." "Sir Francis Drake" is an amusing biographical sketch of one of the ablest, and not the most scrupu lous, of our earlier naval adventurers. Of the few remaining article 3, the best is a scientific one " On Thunderstorms." We quote from Mr. Macaulay's historical essay a spirited portrait of Henry Fox, first Lord Holland:— " Nelson's fame achieved a glorious day," is fraught with remembrances glorious and ennobling to England and to Englishmen, but with sad tears to many bereaved in the dread melee of partners and of children. Yet while grief mourns over those who are departed, what more pleasing theme, or more worthy of record, than that which revivifies before the eye and ear the name and fame of those who still survive to tell the triumph they partook of. The following is a correct list up to the present time of the officers, both in the nary and ma rines, yet surviving, who were present at Trafalgar, in the order that they served there, with the name of the vessel to each and the various promotions justly awarded to them during the 39 years which have intervened since that day.

" There was one man whose sharp and manly logic had often in debate been found a match for the lofty and impassioned rhetoric of Pitt, whose talents for jobbing were not inferior to his talents for debate, whose daunt less spirit shrank from no difficulty or danger, and who was as little-troubled with scruples as with fears. Henry Fox, or nobody, could weather the storm which was about to burst. Yet was he a person to whom the Court, even in that extremity, was unwilling to have re course. He had always been regarded as a Whig of the Whigs. He had been the friend and disciple of Wal pole. He had long been connected by close ties with William Duke of Cumberland. By the Tories he was more hated than any man living. So strong was their aversion to him, that when, in the late reign, he at tempted to form a party against the Duke of Newcastle, they had thrown all their weight into Newcastle's scale. By the Scots, Fox was abhorred as the confidential friend of the conqueror of Culloden. He wag, on per t sonal grounds, most obnoxious to the Princess-Mother. For he had, immediately after her husband's death, ad vised the late King to take the education of her son, the heir-apparent, entirely out of her hands. He had re cently given, if possible, still deeper offence ; for he had indulged, not without some ground, the ambitious hope, that his beautiful sister-in-law, the Lady Sarah Lennox, might be Queen of England. It had been observed that the Meg at one time rode every morning by the grounds of Holland House, and that on such occasions Lady Sarah, dressed like a shepherdess at a masquerade, was making hay close to the road, which was then separated by no wall from the lawn. On account of the part which Fox had taken in this singular love affair, he was the only member of the Privy Council who was not sum moned to the meeting at which his Majesty announced his intended marriage with the Princess of Mecklen burg. Of all the statesmen of the age, therefore, it seemed that Fox was the last with whom Bute, the Tory, the Scot, the favourite of the Princess-Mother, could, under any circumstances, act. Yet to Fox Bute was now compelled to apply. " Fox had many noble and amiable qualities, which in private life shone forth in full lustre, and made him dear to his children, to his dependents, and to his friends ; but as a public man he had no title to esteem. In him the vices which were common to the whole school of Walpole appeared, not perhaps in their worst, but cer tainly in their most prominent form ; for his parliamen tary and official talents made all his faults conspicuous. His courage, his vehement temper, his contempt for ap pearances, led him to display much that others, quite as unscrupulous as himself, covered with a decent veil. He was the most unpopular of the statesmen of his time, not because he sinned more than many of them, but because he canted less. " He felt his unpopularity ; but he felt it after the fashion of strong minds. He became, not cautious, but •recklefs, and faced the rage of the whole nation with a seowl of defiance. He was born with a sweet .and generous4 l ;';:.r ; but he had been goaded and baited Into-a 4 savageitess. which was not natural to him, and swhith a1:94A41#1 shocked those who knew him best. ash ivaft . th4puitC,t o whom Bute, in extreme need, ap plied for suebbinv , " Such :succour 'Fox was not unwilling to afford. Though by no means of an envious temper, he had un doubtedly contemplated the success and popularity of Pitt with bitter mortification. He thought himself Pitt's -match as a debater, and Pitt's superior as a man of busi ne7s• the/ had long been regarded as well paired rivals. They started fair in the career of ambition. They had long run fide by side. At length Fox had taken the lead and Pitt ham fallen behind. Then had come a sudden tura of fortune, dike that in Virgil's foot-race. Fox had stumbled in the mire, and had not only been defeated, but befouled. Pitt had reti,l'ed the goal, and received the prize. The emoluments of tile Pay-office might induce the defeated statesman to submit in sii.'!"ce to the ascendancy of his competitor, but could not satisfy a mind conscious of great powers, and sore from great vexations. As soon, therefore, as a party arose adverse to the war and to the supremacy of the great war minister, the hopes of Fox began to revive. His feuds with the Princess-Mother, with the Scots, with the Tories, he was ready to forget, if by the help of his old enemies he could now regain the importance which he had lost, and confront Pitt on equal terms."

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 20.—The Firebrand, 8, steam frigate, Captain Corry, and the brigs forming the expe rimental squadron, together with the St. Vincent, 120, the Caledonia, 120, and the Queen, 110, are expected to leave Spithead to-morrow, after the departure of her Majesty and Prince Albert on their cruise of exercise and experiment, it is reported between the coast of Por tugal and the Western Islands. If the Albion, 90, Com modore Lockyer, should be fallen in with, she will join the squadron, the whole under the command of Rear- Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., who hoisted his flag (blue at the mizen) yesterday morning on board the Caledonia, and saluted that of Admiral Sir Charles Rowley by 15 guns, which the St. Vincent replied to by 11 guns. This appointment, we believe, will not interfere with the re tention of the seat of the .gallant Rear-Admiral at the Admiralty Board. All Captains and Commanders on the half pay list desirous of witnessing the experimental trial sailings may join either of the above three-deckers, and be victualled on the ship's establishment for the cruise (two or three months) by Admiralty order. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, Master- Commander S. B. Cook, went out of harbour yesterday about one o'clock, with Sir W. Gage and another mem ber of the Board of Admiralty on board. This splendid vessel went round the fleet at Spithead, and made for Cowes, reported to dine at Osborne house with her Ma jesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Admi ralty flag was hoisted on board. The Daelalus, 16, is commissioned at Woolwich by Captain Peter 11i'Quhae, 1835. The Scourge steam sloop is being rapidly expedited for launching, and it is believed will be got afloat uext month.

DEVONPORT, OCT. 18,—COURT-MARTIAL.--A court martial was held on board the San Josef, 110, Captain Dixon, yesterday morning, to try Mr. J. Lee, boatswain of the Resistance troop-ship, Commander Patey, on a charge of gross violence and abuse towards John Barnes, the carpenter's mate, who was tried last week and sen- tenced to be hanged at the yardarm for striking the above prisoner, Lee. The court, on this occasion, was composed of Admiral Sir D. Milne, G.C.8., Commander in-Chief, President; Rear-Admiral Sir S. Pym; Cap tain Dixon, of the San Josef ; Commander Wreford, of the San Josef; and Commander Patey, of the Resistance; G. Eastlake, Deputy Judge Advocate. The Court, having heard the case for the prosecution, and what the prisoner had to urge in his defence, was of opinion the charges had been proved, and sentenced the said John Lee to be dismissed her Majesty's service. The decision of the Lords of the Admiralty, on the recommendation of the Court in the case of Barnes, sentenced to be hung on the 9th inst., is not yet known.

THE STAR and DIAMOND STEAM- BOAT COMPANIES. On the 30th of August last we commented upon the conduct of two magistrates of Gravesend, who, being, as we then believed, themselves interested in the success of the Diamond Steam-boat Company, had adjudicated upon cases arising out of the rivalry between that Company and the Star Company, and had inflicted penalties upon servants of the Star pro prietors, for acts done to procure passengers for the Star rather than the Diamond boats. We made our comments in the same spirit that we have always noticed apparent acts of oppression, either by magis trates in petty session, or by the highest judges of the realm. If the imputation of private interest or per sonal motives ever attaches to magisterial decisions, there is an end to all respect for the judgments and the judges, and the duty of the public journalist is to expose the slightest appearance of undue bias, and prevent its recurrence. We now deem it, however, due to Messrs. OAKES and SPENCER, the two magis trates alluded to in our remarks, to state that, having since made the fullest inquiry into the real merits of the cases upon which they adjudicated, we find that they are not proprietors of the Diamond Company, and we are convinced that no interested motives ope rated upon them, but that they discharged their duty upon'the occasion alluded to with honour and fidelity ORDERS IN CouNctL.—The following Orders in Council have been transmitted to the Commissioners of the Customs by order of the Lords of the Treasury, and copies of the same have been furnished to the several departments in London, and at:all the outports of the king dom, viz.:—Order in Couricil conferring certain privi leges on Hanoverian vessels and cargoes, in pursuance of the recent treaty of commerce and navigation with that kingdom.—Order in Council conferring commercial privileges on Oldenburg vessels and cargoes, in pur suance of the recent treaty of commerce and navigation with the Grand Duke.—Order in Council respecting treaties of commerce and navigation existing with the King of Hanover, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg.—Order in Council conferring certain privileges on vessels belonging to Austria, Mecklenburg Schwerin, Mecklenburg Stre litz, and Oldenburg, in regard to pilotage.—Order in Council conferring commercial privileges on the Governments of Mecklenburg Schwerin and Mecklenburg Strclitz.-- Order in Council conferring certain commercial privi leges on the vessels belonging to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin and the Grand Duke of Mec k- lenburg Strelitz, under the treaty of commerce gnd navi gation with the Emperor of Austria.

NEW RAILWAYS. A London correspondent, writing under the date of *Wednesday, says- r --" On account of the great number of railways brought for ward in Ireland, the Board of Trade, I understand, will recommend that a Commiision, similar to that of the late Mr. Drummond's, should be issued, to in quire and report upon the various rival lities. The late Act gave to the Board of Trade a veto upon all new lines, but the number is now so unprecedented in all parts of the empire, and there are so many con flicting lines, that the Board consider they would be totally unable to deal with the subject satisfactorily without some such assistance as a Commission in Ire land.—Dubliii Mercantile Advertiser. WEST CORNWALL RAILWAT.—On Wednesday last, a public meeting was held in the Guildhall, St. Ives, to consider the propriety of applying to the West Cornwall Railway Company to extend a branch of their railway to that town. John' Chellew, Esq., Mayor, was in the chair, and W. T. Praed, Esq., M.P. with most of the influential gentlemen and merchants, attended the meeting. Several resolutions were en tered into, and a deputation was appointed to wait on the Committee to carry the measure into effect.— Devonport Independent. PORTOBELLO—NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.—This railway has been begun in several places near the town, and considerable activity is shown in getting on with the work. Already are the side walls Well up of a service bridge at the Black Roads, at Joppa, under which the railway passes about eight feet below the level, and the embanking of the road to a sufficient height is considerably advanced, as well as the cuttings through the adjoining field. The rail way passes close to the top of Brighton Place, over a bridge cutting off a part of the boundary wall thvre. —Scotsman. PARTICULARS OF THE LANDING OF LOUIS PHILIPPE AT CALAIS, (FROM AN EYE WITNESS.) It was known in Calais, on Tuesday morning, as early as ten o'clock, that his Majesty Louis Philippe would land at that port,. on his return from England, in the . courre of the morning, and every preparation was made to receive him. The flags were hoisted on all the shipping in the harbour, and on the fortifica tions—the soldiers .were under arms—the telegraph was at work, announcing the important intelligence— the whole town was in a bustle; every one hastening to the pier to catch a glimpse of their Sovereign —the French steam-boat which should have left Calais for England that morning was detained until the arrival of his Majesty should have taken place. It was ex pcted that King Louis Philippe would land about twelve o'clock; it was, however, two o'clock before his Majesty arrived. On his landing he -was received by the authorities and the people with shouts of " Five le Roi." His Majesty walked down the Rue de la Mer bare-headed, fol lowed by the people, who continued their greetings, which were repeatedly acknowledged by his Majesty. In passing up the Rue de la Mer his Majesty walked at the head of the crowd, by whom he was completely separated from the military, who brought up the rear. The gate leading from the har bour to the Rue de la Mer presented a very pictu resque appearance. A young girl was on the top of the gate, who waived her handkerchief as the King passed. Her welcome was graciously acknowledged by his Majesty. On arriving at the Hotel de Ville, his Majesty addressed the people, after which' he re tired for a short time to refresh himself after the fatigues of the voyage, and at three o'clock the firing of cannon announced his Majesty's departure for Calais.' FRENCH RAILWAYS. (From the Constitutionnel, Oct. 17.) The promises of shares in the Orleans, Bordeaux, and Vierzon Railways continue to sell at high pre miums, and the line from Amiens to Boulogne adjudicated yesterday to the Laffittes' Company -for 98 years and 11 months, has already taken a respect able position on the Bourse. We know not if it is the agens de change who charge themselves with the negotiation of these titles in purtibus. One thing is certain, that the transfers are s o managed, that a great deal of money is made by one party to-day e l which will be lost by the other party to-morrow. These promises of shares are in a great measure in the hands of the bankers, who make their profit out of them. Much care is taken not to throw too many shares on the market at a time, in order. not to lower the premium,hut just in proportion to the demand. Nevertheless, we can affirm that certain speculators have made enormous sums, although the gambling is almost restricted to three lines, whose capital does not exceed one hundred millions of francs. While his Majesty was breakfasting at Dover, several ladies promenaded near the ship Hotel, fear the purpose of endeavouring to see him as he passed. On learning their anxiety, he directed the waiter to throw open the doors of his apartnsnt and admit them. The ladies soon after departed, highlY gratified with their quasi presentation to the King Of - the French. WHY HAS TRADE NPR°VED, AND WILL THE IMPROVEMENT BE PERMANENT? (From the League There are periods when those in pursuit of trut h, with the view of testing their principles, may pause with advantage, to review the e x p er i ence o f t h e p ast, to consider th present, and to reflect upon the pros pects of the future. Such a period has arrived with free-traders. We are emerging from a season of appalling 9 'distress, unparalleled in our commercial annals for duration and intensity. When we look back to " the report of the conference of. m i n i s t ers of all denominations on the corn-laws, held in Manchester in August, 1841," ands read the heart rending details of suffering furnished by all parts of the country, and compare it with the :existing state of things, we can scarcely realise the amount of misery from which we have so recently escaped. What are the causes of these changes ? Have they . teen satisfactorily explained by the monopelists.? Are they reconcileable with the principles of free . trade ? " The knowledge of a disease," says the Father of Medicine, "is half its cure." 'What know ledge of the causes of the late distress have the mono polists exhibited ? We cannot forget that for some time after its commencement the monopolist Govern ment boldly denied the existence of the distress in the manufacturing districts ; then they said it was partial and exaggerated ; but the rapid increase of pauperisneand crime, the crowds of starving 'opera tiv.es filling the streets instead of the manufactories, became too notorious to be longer trifled With, - and the same Government, which a short time before denied the sufferings of the people, ordered sermons to be P'reiched, and collections to be made in all the churcheS to relieve it. Being obliged at length thus to acknowledge the existence of the distress, it is instructive to 'call to" mind the reasons they assigned for it. There was one point in which the Government 'and its monopolist supporters were all agreed, and that was that the corn-laws had no share in it. No. They attributed the wide spread distress to over.population, to over production, and to too great an increase of machinery. Now, the causes they assigned are perfectly irre concileable with any change for the better so long as population, production, and machinery continued to increase, and yet, happily, the distress has been changed into prosperity, notwithstanding that a mil lion of souls have been added to the population since the monopolists complained , that the people were too many. Distress is passing away, not from the pro duction of manufuctures being diminished, but by its increase to a greater extent than at any former period. There is now snore' machinery than ever was known, notwithstanding the monopolists said that there was previously so much that it displaced labour, and caused distress, by throwing the people out of employment. Mr. Homer, the Factory Com missioner, in his last report, says—" I not only do not hear of any persons being out of employment, but that in some places hands are scarce." It is clear that the. arguments adduced by the mo nopolists will not bear the test of examination or ex perience. The existing state of things proves that we have neither too many people nor do we produce too many manufactures, nor have we too much ma chinery. What, then, were the real causes of the late distress ? We have always attributed it to the scarcity and high prices of provisions ; let us see how far facts warrants this view of the question. The years 1834, 1835, and 1836, were years of unparal leled prosperity, which was shared equally by the working-classes and by the manufacturers. Mark, they were years of low priced provisions ; the aver age price of wheat in 1834 was 465. 2d. per quar ter; in 1835, 395. 4d.; and in 1836, 48s. Bd. per quarter. In 1837 the change commenced ; the aver age price of wheat rose to 555. 10d. In 1838 it rose again to 645. 4d. Here began the distress. In 1839 it rose still higher, to 70s. 6d. Distress increased. In 1840 the price was 665. 6cl.* Distress was sore in the land. In 1841 the price was 645. 5d., when the distress increased almost beyond endurance ; and why ? Because in the last four of these years the people had paid upwards of 200,000,0001. more for their food than in the four preceding years. During this distressing period of dear provisions the earnings of the labouring classes were nearly all absorbed in obtaining necessary food ; they had little left to spend in clothing; hence those who were engaged in manu factures for supplying the working classes were thrown out of employment and their distress was aggravated by the like falling off in the foreign de mand for manufactures, because our inability to con sume foreign as well as home productions disabled foreigners from consuming our manufactures; and thus high-priced food produced bad trade in the fo reign as well as in the home market, and was the source of all the suffering which the people endured in that memorable and never-to-be-fr often period from 1838 to 1842. But why has trade improved? Istit the result, as some contend, of the wisdom of a Conservative Go vernment ? Or is it caused, as Mr. Glittistone boasts, by Sir Robert Peel's tariff and new sliding-scale ? We shall demonstrate that neither the one nor the other has had the least share in our returning pros perity. We had prosperity in 1834, 1835, and 1836, greater than that which we now enjoy, and yet during those years we were neither blessed with a Conserva tive Government, nor the new tariff, nor the new sliding-scale. It is not then the change from a Whig to a Conservative Government that has wrought the improvement of the last two years; it is the change from scarcity and dearness to "cheapness and plenty.' The decline in the price of food has left money in the pockets of the mass of the people (who are at al times the great consumers of commodities),' which has enabled them . to purchase clothing and foreign produce, and thus employment has been created for our artisans and manufacturers. Can any rational man doubt, with such facts as these before him, what have been the causes of our recent distress, and of our returning prosperity Looking at the experience of the past, and reflecting on the present state of things, can he doubt that the principles of Free Trade—the law of the are founded in truth ? If, then, these princip t l o esbe true, looking to the future, what ought we perma. ex pect? Will the improvement bee have no vent? We answer decidedly N h ha ve produced disorder exemptiont y for the continuance the e r;tfiopnrsoos sue e a r prosperity e t a h n a o n .

Insedcient harvests will aga in volcano, only await the currency and in trade which we have before ex perienced, and its concomitant distress. There is, and there can be, no security for the future but in the total repeal of the mischievous and iniquitous corn-laws. We call, therefore, on every reflecting mind in this season of calm to weigh well the conse quences of a perseverance in the existing corn and other monopolies; and we earnestly urge upon those who see the insecurity of our present position to re double their efforts to abolish monopoly, and to eman cipate industry, as the only means of placing our trade and commerce on that permanent footing which can alone lead to the prosperity and happiness of all classes of the people. But what will it be when the railways from Paris to Strasburgh, Paris to Lyons, Lyons to Avignon, Tours to Nantes, Paris to Chartres, and many others, are granted ? The carrying out of these lines will put a capital of 500 millions of francs in circulation. If to these lines be added those from Paris to Havre, from Paris to Orleans, and some- inferior lines, the whole number of shares in railways will represent a capital of about 700 millions, without including the sums which the State and the departments shall invest. in them. It is on this enormous amount that jobbing will be effected. It is to be remarked • that the jobbing takes place before the capital is realised, before even the concession of the line is obtained. For example, in the line from Paris to Lyons, many Companies have circulated promises of shares, which are negotiated at a premium ; the same thing occurred in the Strasburgh line, and it is known that con siderable profits were realised at one time upon these bits of paper. Railways, like the funds, like merchandise, are the object of -bona fide transactions, or bargains for time.- The second are. always of more importance than the first. Ask the stock-brokers, the commercial brokers, and they will tell you they gain a great deal by transfers and deliveries; suppress gambling, and you will take away from these intermediate parties the two-thirds of their profits. By increasing the number of promises of shares in railways you, on the contrary, create new elements for this fatal passion. Bargains for time require but very little capital—a blank con cession to the negotiator, and often but little credit, are sufficient to effect important operations. In bona fide transactions the whole capital is embarked ; in fictitious matters all that. is to be done is to have ready the presumed difference which may exist be tween the conclusion of the bargain and the end of the month. • • . The gross amount of bona fide transactions in the Funds is, on the average, about 100 millions per an num ; the amount' of bargains for time may be taken at about double that sum. But transfers resulting from effective transactions only amount to from 50 to 55 millions; the surplus belongs to operations by order, to changes, and balances of accounts. If -the stockbrokers were compelled to rest contented with the profits arising from these, the sole legal opera- ' tions, they would make but sorry affairs, and their charges would be far below what they are: Very well ; the fictitious bargains in railviays are in pro portion greater than those in the funds. It is pre ferred to gamble in railway shares because their value being more elastic, and the limit of their fluc tuations more extensive, greater gains are expected. It is clear that if the capital of railway shares is ex tended to six or seven millions, speculation will be frightfully ramified; and this serious result will cer tainly be accomplished under conditions infinitely less favourable. If, as is to be feared, panic succeeds to extensive speculations—if loss succeeds to gain —the existence even of the competing companies may be affected. The capital upon which there is at this moment such outrageous gambling is not subscribed ; and the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway, for example, has not lit its hands the sixty millions which it will require for laying down the rails, and the, purchase of the materials necessary for making it. She has only sub scriptions guaranteed, it is true, by the payment of a first deposit; but, from one circumstance or another, should these promises get into disfavour, the sub scribers will draw back. That has been already the case in regard to the railway from Basle to Stras burgh. Besides, upon what foundation rests this pre mium of 100 francs on these shares ? Upon the future product of the railway. But this is not exactly known, at least as far as regards that Portion of the line between Tours and Bordeaux. To that extent all is new, and the actual relations do not serve as a basis for, any estimate. The value in premium, of a share, cannot be logically explained, except by an interest superior to that which it is expected to draw from the capital employed. Now experience alone can prove such a fact. The high premiums which have been obtained upon the lines from Amiens to Boulogne, Orleans to Vierzon, and Orleans to Bor deaux' will be paid by the victims, while a premium, which is the result of a proved receipt on a railway, far from causing losses, consolidates credit, and in creases the general richness of the country. But this object is not gained except by real transactions, which are the exact antipodes of jobbing. The latter always engenders losses ; it turns capital from its natural destination, and produces periodical crisis in public credit. W hat is required by the country at this moment ? To have railways, and not by any means to make the fortune of bankers and speculators. i However, it is not that object which occupies the attention of the public generally, who follow with much'greater atten tion the fluctuations of the Bourse than the works of the different lines which serve as a basis for the gambling. This fatal tendency increases in propor tion as the Companies take a more extended p ar t i n the execution of railways, and the premiums gained and lost will carry fresh disorder into the association of capital, and the discouragement among borrowers who prefer a solid investment to the uncertainties of .jobbing. The report has spread that the Minister of Public' Works will refuse the approbation of the ad , judication of the Vierzon 'Railway.' Why, if you please ? Is it because it has been mystified by the Companies .LeComte and Bartholoni ? Why, M. Dumon is accustomed to these sort of episodes, and another irregularity in the history of railways does not disturb him. It is besides a precedent which . , may be advantageous, and i n f u t u r e th e contrivers of these affairs will come to such an understanding as shall render adjudications of railways, completely illusory ; all rivalry will be thus extinguished, and the negotiation of promises of shares will be lo much the .more facilitated.

NORTHERN RAILWAYS.—COMPETING LINES.—A. meeting on this subject was held in the town of Mo naghan on IVednesay. The Northern Whig says— " The object of the meeting was to receive and con sider a report of a deputation who lately visited this town, with reference to an extension of the Ulster Railway line to Monaghan and Clones, and who afterwards visited Newry, to consult about a railway from that town, to join the proposed Dundalk and Enniskillen line. The deputation made their report, which We publish. Their visit to Belfast is repre sented to have been satisfactory ; but circumstances, stated by them, necessarily rendered their visit to Newry unavailing. The report having been read, no farther attention seems to have been paid to it. A deputation from the parties concerned in getting a line from Dundalk to Enniskillen, attended; and the - discussion was applied to this—whether the people of Monaghan would give their approval and support to the Dundalk and Enniskillen project. The friends of that plan appear to hate formed by much the more numerous portion of those who attended the meeting; but, though a motion was proposed, in favour of the plan, and an amendment against it, and though both were put from the chair, and the 'ayes' taken on both, the 'noes' were not called for, on either side ;. and the meeting broke up, after as the report has it, :loing nothing." RAILWAY FROM EDINBURGII TO CARLISLE.—There is no doubt that a railway from the metropolis of Scotland to Carlisle, passing near to the flourishing manufacturing towns of Galashiels and Hawick, will ere long be formed. We understand that his race the Duke of Buccleuch and Sir James Graham are taking a deep interest in this great leading line, which cannot fail to be of incalculable advantage to the abovementioned places.—Kelso Chronicle. NEWPORT, NANTYGLO, AND BLAENAFON RAILWAY. —On Wednesday last, a deputation from the provi sional committee, attended by the solicitor of Lord Abergavenny, and directors of the British Iron and Blaenafon Company, had an interview with Lord Dalhousie and General Pasley, at the office of the Board of Trade, and were, we hear, most favourably received. Mr. Blewitt, M.P., the chairman of the committee, at the conclusion of the interview, pre sented to Lord Dalhousie a paper he had written, and had caused to be printed, explanatory of the district, and of all circumstances connected with the proposed railway, for which Lord Dalhousie expressed his thanks to Mr. Blewett, and promised that it should have his attentive perusal. Lord Dalhousie said that the interference of the Board of Trade in matters of this nature, was regulated solely by "public con siderations ;" and that it was no part of his duty to enter into questions of "private interest."—Mon mouthshire Merlin. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY. -- Matters have proceeded so favourably with the pro jectors of this undertaking that their most sanguine expectations have been more than realised, as far as they can be so during the earlier stages of their negotiations. The whole amount of shares contem plated by the Committee as sufficient have been al ready sold, and applications have been made for double that number. It is stated on authority that the whole number of shares could have been disposed of in Manchester alone. We trust that, now that the chief difficulty has been overcome, no obstruction will be thrown in the way of the Committee by the pro prietors of the land through which the railway will pass, but that the Act, for which all necessary mea sures are being taken, will be obtained without diffi culty or delay, so that the works may proceed as early as possible.—Derry Standard. WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWA T.—On Wednesday last a meeting of the provisional commit tee of this undertaking was held in Waterford, and it has never been our lot to witness one of so influential a character. It would appear that the whole landed and commercial interests of the south-east of Ireland have taken up the project with enthusiasm. Amongst the persons present, representing the different districts, were the Lords Besborough, Glengall, Huntingdon, Carew, and Duncannon ; Sir H. Winston Baron, M.P., and Mr. Wyse, M.P.; Sir B. Morris, Wall ; Messrs. Meagher, Mill ward, Strangman, J., J., and Robert Malcomson, Newport, Lalor (Cregg), Sar gint, Riall, Fennell, Shaw, Davis, Denny, Sweetman, Jacob, Tandy, Mortimer, Walpole, E. Power, White, Power of Mount Richard, &c. Lords Bes borough and Glengall, and the Messrs. Strangman and Malcohnson, were deputed to confer with Mr. Vignolles, the engineer of the Company, respecting the various preliminaries necessary to be adopted for immediately carrying out the enterprise—which being done, and reported' to the Mayor of Waterford, who tilled the chair, the Committee took the matter into consideration, and unanimously decided that Mr. Vignolles should proceed to complete the survey, and that he and Messrs. Mortimer and Tandy should have all the parliamentary steps finished by the 30th of November ' according to the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament, which they reporte'd to be per fectly within their power. The general business of the Company was then proceeded with, and the pro 4pectus, which was unanimously approved of, ordered to be issued, forthwith. All the above noblemen and gentlemen are shareholders, seine to a considerable extent. About 5,000 shares are already taken by residents along the line only, and deposits paid—con sequently this main truck line, which will confer such benefits on the south of Ireland, is now certain of being completed with the utmost dispatch, and we sincerely wish it success in every shape.

EYE, OCT. 18.—The railway meeting held in the Town-hall, Eye, for promoting a railway from Ips• with to Norwich, for having the line run close to the town, and to have a first-rate station at Eye, for the accommodation of the public in this district, was most numerously and respectably attended by many owners and occupiers of land in the vicinity of Eye, as well as by a great majority of the clergy, gentry, profes sional men from Ipswich, Norwich, Beccles, Harles ton, Diss, &c. We observed Lord Henniker, E. Kerrison, Esq., Rev. Drs. Chevalier, Creed, Kershaw, Ashfield, and A. Cooper ; Messrs. T. Utton, T. French, E. Chenery, W. Edwards, Cream, Robert Prettyman, W. Lawton, B. Cotten, R. Wallis, Ellis Gowing (Mayor of Eye), Edward Gowing, G. Sherman, Samuel Peck, .James Gooderham, Robert Todd, Henry Wells, IL Case, James Moore, S. Ash ford, Hazard, Etheridge, R. Tacon, Bohun, and Wil kerson, Beccles; J. Tuck and Beckwith, Norwich; Rodwell,lCobbold, Josselyn, Allen, Ransome, &c., Ips wich ; Heffell and Norton, Brooks, Cupis, Farrow, sen., &c., Diss ; and Beedy and Co. from the Brandon Com pany. Lord Henniker was called to the chair. Sir E. Kerrison being unwell could not attend the meeting. The Noble Lord, in opening the proceedings, merely stated the object of the meeting from the advertise ment which had appeared in the Suffolk papers, and said, that as a Member of Parliament, and one also of the Committee when the Eastern Railroad Com pany applied for a Bill to make a railroad from London to Norwich, he gave the Bill his utmost sup port, but that road got no further than Colchester. Of late it was extending to Ipswich. As to the dif ferent roads he would not pledge' himself to any, but would be very glad to give his attention to obtain a railroad into this part of the county. As it was to pass through Eye, he considered that town a proper place for a first-rate station for the accommodation of the surrounding neighbourhood, and he would support it. After some resolutions were carried ' in behalf of the line . to Eye, and a first-rate station, J. C. Cobbold, Esq., rose to move a vote of thanks to his Lordship for his kindness in pre siding on this occasion, which brought up Mr. Nurse, stationer, of Eye, stating, as the deputation of gentlemen were present from Ipswich, he, in behalf of himself and the inhabitants of Eye, expected to hive heard, or that they would now state their inten tions, if they were supported in this interest, and if Eye was to have a station. He also had a resolution to propose, in conjunction with the gentlemen of Beccles. They were desirous of having and pro moting a branch railroad from Eye to Harleston, Bungay, Beccles, and Yarmouth. This resolution, after some little opposition, was carried. Mr. Wil kerson, from Beccles, stated he had authority from all the landowners of Bec des, including Shafto Adair, &c.; they had no objection to a road passing through their property. He could als ) assert with truth, he could in one fortnight be prepared with all the money to make this road from Eye to Beccles, and thence to Yarmouth. Mr. Bidder then rose, and, in a clever and clear speech, showed the advantages of having a branch road from Attleborough, from the Brandon Road to Diss, there to have a station, thence to Eye and a station also, thence to Gislingham, Stowmarket, and direct to Colchester. This plan he said the Company were determined to have. They had got all the money ready; the road they would have. He asserted it was impracticable and impossible for the Eastern Com pany to have a line with a station at Eye and Diss. Mr. Cobbold rose and stated the opinions of the East ern Company. They were prepared to go to Parlia ment and to lose no time in getting the railroad complete from London, Ipswich to Norwich, a sta tion at Eye, and also at Diss, which seemed to meet the approbation of the majority of the company as sembled. This closed the meeting, after having been occupied about three hours. A vote of thanks and s h e is u The gentle menf Ipswich were informed that Sir E. Kerrison o and Mr. Kerrison were favourable to the Eastern c L o o n r d d e s d h . i p Thefor his meeting, kindness . t t u h e e n p.. moved, - hen w b as ro line on condition that i t ca m e into E y e, and a first rate station made there.—SittfoM Chronicle.
