LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1845. intelligence from a country which is about to become, once more, the theatre of stupendous events, in a renewed struggle between the moral and physical energies of the European and the Asiatic, becomes a neceesity of more than ever impera • tive exigency with the British public—of mo:.e than ever in tense interest to the British Government. At such a time' and with the recent exemplification before them of the spirit and facility he has displayed in organising a new, a shorter, and, in some respects, a preferable overland route, available in the event of the existing one being interrupted, whether from physical accidents or bad faith on the part of foreign functionaries, Lieutenant Waononx has established . new claims to the gratitude of this country, and to distinc tions of a solid as well as konourable nature at the hands of her MAJESTY'S Minititers. We perceive with high gratifica tion the progress of the subscriptions towards the " WAG s onx Testimonial ;" but we earnestly hope that some pro motion in his professional rank, and some decoration or in signia of merit of a character as much beyond the ordinary scale of such rewards, as his services to the empire have been beyond the ordinary scale of simply professional ser vices, may be conferred upon him, with the approbation and by the desire of his SOVEREIGN. The great changes which have been effected by steam within only a very few years have turned the attention of other persons besides the Prince DE JOINVILLE and M. TMERS to the means thus afforded for attacking the shores of England and to the present state of our national defences. The plans formed by BONAPARTE for the invasion of England were complete abortions, and though the ex-Minister may contend that the fate of the country was all but decided, and would to a certainty have been decided in favour of France, had her admirals displayed more courage, and the great man himself left a little more to chance, no doubt can remain, even from M. THIERS'S own showing, that with all his vast preparations he was completely foiled by the spirit, energy, and skill of the British admirals, and that the attempt would have ended in the destruction or capture of the in vading army. BONAPARTE, from experience, had learnt that the flat-bottomed boats and the other small craft, to which he proposed to entrust his veteran troops, could not resist the force which England had collected in the Channel, and he had only the alternative of giving up the scheme, or beating all the British vessels of war which swarmed from Brest to Portsmouth. To cover his disgrace, he pre tended that he had been betrayed by his admirals, that they were cowards, and could risk nothing, while he knew, as well as they, that had they approached the Channel at the only moment when, according to his own account, he was fully ready for the descent, a defeat would have ensued to which that at Tra falgar was but a mere shadow. Since then, however, cir cumstances are much altered. The French have a large steam navy, and by means of merchant steamers and other craft could convey across the Channel an army of 100,000 men, probably in one-tenth part of the time which would have been requisite in 1805. It is possible, too, that they might succeed—at least, to a certain extent—even in the face of a superior English steam navy, and the consequences to England would be, pro bably, most disastrous. In order to guard against such a possibility, various plans of national defence have been pro posed by different writers, and, among the rest by Lord BA NELAGII, in a pamphlet just published. Ills Lordship takes a calm and rational view of this important subject; and after admitting the vigilance and bravery of our admirals and seamen, he supposes, however, that the enemy might elude them, and land an invading force of 100,000 men on the coasts of Essex, Kent, and Sussex, and then asks :—" What are our preparations on land for their reception . .? Our coast batteries,l such as they are, are without artillerymen, unarmed, and useless. We have no trained militia, and our yeomanry are few, and necessa ril3 slow in collection. Our population, even if they possessed arms, are ignorant of their use ; and our regular troops, which are scattered at great distances over England and Scotland, would not, were their disposable numbers collected, muster more than 10,000 bayonets. To these we may add the very important and useful body of soldiers which have been enrolled from the pensioners, amounting to 10,000 men. But, while this defensive strength, amounting on the whole to about 20,000 men, is being summoned from all parts:of the country, our arsenals, miserably deficient in fortifications, in soldiers, and in artillerymen, invite the enemy's attack ; and, before we can give anything like shape to our preparations, he has marched upon and destroyed Chatham, Sheer ness, and Woolwich, taken military possession of the Thames, and threatened, or laid, an embargo on London." tl ing to the rest of Europe. Neither Sweden nor Norway can 19e looked to fur anything. The little kingdom of Den mark alone has this year been extraordinary for its fertility, and although what it will be able to export may appear considerable when compared with the narrow extent of its territory, it will in reality be but a trifle compared with the mass of wants which require to be satisfied. The insuffi ciency of European agriculture is therefore demonstrated, and we must turn our views towards the two Americas, and particularly the 'United States." Accounts had been re ceived from Algiers to the 9th instant, but they bring no intelligence of interest, and not a word about the Governor-General. It was generally believed at Paris, that Mr. ILLY, the British Consul-General in Morocco, had declared to the EMPEROR the wish of England that he should aid France in capturing or expelling Ann. EL-KADER from Morocco. This has given great cause of offence to M. TRIERS'S journal, which will allow England no influence whatever in a country with which it has been so long on good terms. The article which refers to the sub ject is a culiosity. Nothing will please M. TRIERS but ab solute and sole dominion. We give a few extracts : It would not be the first time that Chatham and Sheerness had been insulted, but under circumstances, it is true, of a much more favourable character for England. The Dutch had no troops to land—they could only bombard our dock yards and forts, and, after doing a great deal of mischief, were of course obliged to retire. But the case would be different with the French, and it cannot be denied that in the present undefended state of the country, and with the vast wealth which it contains, even 40,000 or 50,000 French troops eager for plunder would, before any sufficient check be given, cause an immense loss of property. It is the duty of the Go vernment, therefore, to prepare against such a contingency, and not leave England undefended, while she is within three hours sail of a country that possesses an army of 400,000 men, and a well-trained militia of nearly 1,000,000. Lord RINELAGII recommends five measures as indispensable to our native defence. " The first and most important consideration," says he, " is the condi tion of our arsenals. These must be strengthened by syste• matic fortifications, garrisoned by adequate troops, and amply manned by practised and able artillerymen. In all these respects they are at present so wretchedly defective as to be totally unable to resist any land attack. To this sad description not one of our arsenals affords an exception." The next is the enrolment of the militia, or an organised force of some kind, whether as militia, or fencibles, or volunteers, ready and able at all times to repel an unexpected attack. A third point for consideration is the artillery service, and to meet our im mediate and direct necessities in this respect he thinks an " The active intervention of Mr. Drummond Hay, the repre sentative of England at Morocco, in our difficulties with Abder rhamann, has not been forgotten. Neither has it been forgotten how unfruitful was this intervention, and the interpreta tions that were put upon it in France and Africa. To a cer tain degree, it was no doubt sincere. England really wished Abderrhaman to accede to the terms of our ultimatum, which were moderate to excess ; the wished to prevent a war be tween Morocco and France. She could not succeed, but, on the contrary, the intervention of Mr. Drummond Hay pro duced an effect on the minds of the Arabs directly opposite to that which it was intended to have. They regarded it ra ther as a mark of protection than a menace. They believed, and not without reason, that England would put impass , ble barriers in the way of our military operations. The deCara lions of the British agent, therefore, increased their confidence, Instead of putting upon it a wholesome constraint. It is now announced that Mr. John Drummond Hay has succeeded to the functions of his father in Morocco, and that he has re cently received orders from his Government to go to the Em peror, and recommend him to assist, as far as might be in his power, our expedition against Abd-el.Kader, and declare to him that Great Britain acknowledged our right to pursue our implacable enemy on the territories of his empire. This step has the same character as the first, is attended with the same inconveniences, and will be followed by the same conse quences. To be better able to judge of this, our real position with regard to the Emperor of Morocco must be taken into consideration. Abderrhaman is bound to us by two solemn treaties—that of Tangiers and that of Lalla Maghrina— by which together he has engaged himself to reduce Abd.el.Kader into a state to do us no injury, either by confining him to the interior of Morocco, or by delivering him into our hands. The Emperor has done nothing, has attempted nothing, towardc carrying his engagements into execution, We have a right to punish this breach of promise, this flagrant violation of the most express stipulations, and a fottiori we have a right to insist upon a tardy concurrence, and to take all such measures as are necessary for the security of our frontier. This is so self-evident that the most unwilling are compelled to ac knowledge it What signifies then the officious interference of England? What sense can there be in the declaration of Mr. John Drummond Hay? In truth but one alone. That the most formal treaties are obscure in the eyes of the Emperor of Morocco until England has put her interfretation upon them ; that the as sent of England to his most solemn obligations is indispensable to make him believe that he is bound by them; that the protection of England will, if need be, defend Morocco against the most incon. testible rights of France. The step of Mr. Drummond Hay, per fectly useless in the enlightenment of the question, cannot have any other effect than to weaken the force of the stipulations, and render still more vain treaties already trampled upon." addition, amounting to one-half of our existing force, would be requisite. The only other meats of defence of importance relates to our commercial ports, and on that point he says :—" To defend such points of attack, and to guard the vast accumulated wealth, so tempting to our friends across, the Channel, nothing can be more effectual than the employment of steam block ships, forming a floating battery, equal in strength of artillery, and in rapidity and precision of motion, to the exigency of any probable attack. Such defences before the ports of Liverpool, Hull, Bristol, Sunderland, Leith, &c., &c., seem to me not prudent only, but essential to that feeling of security which always adds so much to actual national strength." His Lordship thus concludes a brief sketch of much interest in these words : "Let a military commission be at once appointed to inquire into this momentous question ; let such dispositions of the incal. culable material strength of the country as I have ventured to suggest be adopted; let our arsenals, the vitals of our navy, be protected ; let our artillery be greatly in creased, our militia organised ; our population prepared, and, with the facilities which steam power affords us, both for coast defence The public is so apt to forget, in the easy enjoyment of any novel, but very signal advantage, the price which may have been paid for it through the personal experiences, inces sant fatigues, and inflexible perseverance of some individuals endowed with more than the ordinary average of moral courage, that we are very unwilling to see it relapse into this evil habit—for it is not a question of bad feeling—in re ference to one of the most remarkable persons among our townsmen of this metropolis. We have very recently, and on many previous occasions, seized the opportunity of di recting attention to the extraordinary merits of Lieutenant Wacuorm, R N., in devising, accomplishing, and organis ing the route for the overland mail between India and Great Britain. It is scarcely possible for any one to doubt the vast importance to be attached to the achievement of this great object, which, by bringing, so to speak, Great Britain and the noblest of her depen dencies tines months nearer to each other—(and this is no longer a solecism either in expression or in fact)—has opened a new channel, developed new methods, and crested new in terests of communication, of a value and significance pro portioned to the magnitude of the results which are bound up in the intimate and perfect connexion of those two noble regions, so remote from each other in geographical position __so singularly identified in the evolution of political events, and the collision both of European and of Asiatic interests with one another. If any disparaging estimate could be gravely entertained by any of our countrymen of the high character to be attached to Mr. WAG HORN'S services to the commerce of the East with this empire, we should refer such sceptics to the earnest, yet temperate, discussions on the subject, that from time to time appear in the French newspapers. The topic is ably handled by our Contemporaries on the other side of the Channel; but all of them, of whatever shades of party or opinion in the political contentions of the day, are una nimous, and unqualified in the praise they award to Mr. WAGTIORN; and in the zeal with which they press the momentous sequences that may ensue on the full esta blishment and working of his lately tested route to Engllnd rid Tricot', on the profoundest deliberation of Lotus Pummel and his Ministers. Far from affecting to Undervalue the interest of France in retaining the trans mission of the overland mail, they plainly treat it as an inte rest of most extensive relations that must be absolutely sacri ficed, if the Executive do not forthwith so materially im prove their steam service and packet flotilla as to accomplish the distance from Egypt to Malta, and from Malta to Mar seilles, in a period of time abridged to an extent greater even than the difference between the present reute yid Mar seilles, and that which has just been so successfully tested by Mr. WauiroaN, rid Trieste. Independently of the incalcu lable advantage realised by hie overland mail to our commerce with the F,ast, we must remember that he has achieved a benefit for universal civilisation and peace, by the influence which he, of all Euro peans, first practically exercised over the powerful mind, but strong will, of the Pacha of EGYPT, in not only convincing that Illustrious Chief of the feasibility of the plan, and the advantages to be derived from its operation to Egypt as well as to England ; but in holding the PACHA steadily to the same point until the route was laid out, secured, and worked on the present -system. To the Pacha METiEmET Au, him self, we must all concede the distinguished praise of havinc , recognised the paramount claims of peaceful commerce to protection through his own territories, at a time when he himself was involved in the issue of the fierce hostilities commenced against him by the great European Powers The PACIIA adhered to all his engagements, with a rare regard for the spirit in which he had made them , instead of falling back on the palpable degree in which his adversaries had broken through the letter, as well as the spirit of their contract, with him, which will ever attach a lustre to his name, shared only by the greatest and the rarest, because the most honest and truthful among the Princes of and moral Christendom. The route he had conceded, and all the commerce upon it, were sacredly, promptly, uninterruptedly, protected. It is known that Mr. WAGHORN is entitled to the credit of having been permitted to maka representations to MEHEMET Au on this subject, which in no little degree probably contributed to fix the final determination of the Pm:lu. The deportment of the Prince in this affair may look in vain to be mated with parallels in the history of European treaties and the maintenance of European diplo matic relations. and for internal communication—England, against any invading force, will continue to vindicate the integrity of her sea-girt terri. tory, and the glory of her ancient renown." We have received Madrid journals of the Bth and 9th inst. The resignation of General CORDOVA bad been ac cepted by the Government, and General ORIBE appointed Captain-General of Madrid in his place. The mutiny at Valencia appears to have been a very absurd affair. The ringleader was a sergeant, who had by some means or other contrived to seduce a few of the soldiers to attack the bar racks, though they were not one to ten. It was reported at Madrid that he had been captured and shot, that several soldiers have been condemned to death, and that the Com mandant of the Gerona regiment, whe had his arm ampu tated, in consequence of a wound received from the rioters expired soon after the operation was performed. The He•aldo infers, from a letter received from Valencia, that the scheme had been formed by NOGUERAS and Ruiz, now residing at Marseilles. On the Bth the Spanish Funds declined a little. The Three per Cents. were sold at 35%; the Five per Cents. at 4 1 / 2 3 / 4 ; Coupons, at 25 1 ; and the Debt without Interest at the prices of the preceding day. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with articles on the late amalgamation of railway companies, and the prospects of the poor for the winter. According to:some of the journal!, there is every probability that the price of bread will ad vance considerably more, as there is a deficiency of grain in nearly all the States of the Continent. Bread at Paris is higher than usual, but a rise is anticipated, as a sort of panic had manifested itself in some of the provincial towns. The Semaphore of Marseilles, of the llth inst., says :—" There is a perfect panic in this city, not merely among the poorer classes, but even among some of the tradesmen. People there are laying in a provision of bread, as if they were menaced with a siege, and saw no prospect of fresh sup plies. - The'bakers' shops are beset with customers, and such is the eagerness to obtain it, that increased prices are paid, in order to be able to carry off a large quantity at once as a store for the future." The same journal states that 'he police, in searching the house of a woman, suspected to have secreted some stolen jewellery, found—not the stolen articles—but 100 lb. of bread, which this woman had purchased, and stored up, under the apprehension of an approaching famine. The Semaphore at the same time asserts that there is no just cause for this excitement. The National gives the following abridgsd accounts of the state of the crops in the Continental States :—" In France this year the harvest has been only middling, and even admitting that it is adequate when considered by itself, it is certain that it will not be sufficiently abundant t 9 compensate for the defi ciency which the absence of other produce, such as potatoes, &c., ought to cause. Consequently France will not export. Italy and Spain have been neither favoured nor ill-treated , but their exports are too insignificant to afford en efficient aid to other nations. The Austrian States, with the excep tion of Hungary, are so poor in corn this year, that the po pulation is menaced with great privations. The quantity of wheat in store at Trieste has never been so reduced as at present. No news has been received from Fiume (west of Hungary). In the lower provinces of the Danube and in Moravia, the harvest is anything but abundant. Going up higher, wheat is found in tolerably great quantities, but there is a complete absence of the m eans o f transport. Western Russia, Poland, and a part of Sil es i a , usua l ly so rich in corn, are this year in a bad position, and, from having generally an overplus, they must most probably borrow this year from abroad. Consequently, the Prussian ports of the Baltic, which, under ordinary circumstances, export the pro duce of Poland and Western Russia, will not furnish any- The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers— The Constituticmnel says—" Letters from the frontier of Ro magna, dated the 4th inst., state that in the evenings of the Ist and 2d a sanguinary conflict took place at Bologna between the Swiss, on the one part, and the Pontifical dragoons and custom house guards on the other. The troops were subsequently con fined to their barracks. Cardinal Cazoni, legate of the province, wished to bring the volunteers of the country into the town, but the municipal authorities gave him t• understand that this would increase the disturbances, as the Bolognese were ever adverse to this corps In its stead, they proposed to call the citizens to arms in the form of a civic guard ; but as the formation of such a guard is one of the demands comprised in the manifesto of the insurgents of Rimini, the Cardinal became alarmed, and refused the offer, but at the same time relinquished the idea of calling in the volunteers. It is also said that disturbances have occurred at Perugia, towards which town a column of Swiss was on its match. The sentences of the commission at Ravenna, anterior to the late disturbances, have been confirmed at Rome. More than forty persons have been condemned to the galleys for various periods." " A letter from Toulouse announces the death of Lieutenant. General Count Compans, at Blagnac, near that city, after a long and painful illness. He entered the army as a simple volunteer in 1792, and in four years became a general of brigade. He was made general of a division at the battle of Austerlitz, and so con. ducted himself in Russia, and afterwards at Lutzen and Bautzen, that Napoleon, in one of his bulletins, called him Un general de bataille du premier merite.' After 1814 he retired, and was made a peer. The Orleannais states that the Orleans and Tours Railroad will not be opened to the public before the month of March next. " We learn from Copenhagen, Noe. Pith, that great embarrass ments have been created in Denmark by a deficiency of the cir culating medium, and that the National Bank of Copenhagen has contributed to them by restricting its discounts. It was reported, however, that the Bank had received from Hamburgh a large quantity of bars of silver, for the purpose of coining four millions of rix dollars. " A Constantinople letter of the 2.2 d ult . in the Augsburgh Gazette, states that the Porte has agreed to give an indemnity of 70,000 piastres to France for the pillage of the two convents during the late insurrection in Syria, and also an indemnity for the ex penses of the French, who were compelled to quit the Lebanon by the order of Chekib-Effendi." The railway share market continued in a very unsettled state, and the few companies that had announced their in tention to offer for the Paris and Strasbourg, and the Tours and Nantes lines, on Saturday, caused an additional impulse to the downward tendency. Only two companies out of twelve for the first, and two out of nine for the second, had been announced. These facts are thus stated in the Journal des De"bats " The period fixed by the Minister of Public Works for sending in the registers and other documents of the companies determined to tender for the Paris and Strasbourg and Tours to Nantes Rail ways expired last night at twelve o'clock. The companies which have deposited the necessary papers are, for the Paris to Stras bourg line, first, that represented by the Duke de Galliera, General Cubieres, M. Rlacque Belair, and M. H. Pellapra ; and the next company represented by Count d'Anthouard—in all two companies out of twelve announced at the Bourse. For the Tours to Nantes line, there were, first, the company represented by MM. Dailly, Lippmann, Muret, Degenete, Fanchet, Martin, Jourdan, Caillard, and Dailly, jun., Maitres de Poste ; and next, that represented by MM. Mackenzie, Drouillard, O'Neill, Dufeu, Lecroix, Leroy, and Surville ; in all, two companies out of nine announced at the Bourse."

On occasions of this kind I have generally said a few words as to the bearing of the corn-laws on agriculture, but that part of the subject has been taken out of my hands. A little pamphlet, published by Messrs. Trimmer and Mor ton, practical agriculturists, has quite superseded any obser vation I could make. They looked on the corn-laws in a debtor and creditor point of view. They took different farms in different soils, and they showed what their owners gained by protection, and what they lost. The , first time I re ceived that book, I was a little staggered by the facts which it adduced; but having read and considered it several times, I am now quite satisfied that it underpaints, rather than overpaints, the real state of the case. ~'Now as I know a great many willing and anxious to see a repeal of the corn laws, and to secure full commercial f - eedom, who have some lingering doubts as to whether their agricultural friends may not suffer in some way or other front such an event, I re commend all such persons to lay out a couple of shillings in the purchase of the pamphlet, and to read it carefully through. —From Earl Ducie's Speech at the Birmingham Meeting. THE CITY TERMINI—A very complete survey is being made at all the spots adjacent to Smithfield and Far ringdon-market from Battlebridge, which will be useful in case of the Corporation agreeing to grant Farringdon market, or the parties being compelled to seek another ter minus. ELECTION OF MASTER, OF CATHARINE HALL.— The election of a Master of Catharine Hall, to succeed the late Rev. Dr. Procter, took place at six o'clock .on Friday morning. The choice of the Fellows fell upon the Rev. Henry Philpott, B.D. The new Master was Senior Wrang ler, second Smith's Prizeman, and a first• class Classic in the year 1829. The statutes of the College require that the elec tion should be commenced not later than the fourth day After TAGAncy.—Cambridge Chronicle. But a time has now arrived—a crisis perhaps the most eventful, for good or fer evil (and we conscientiously believe the former), in the future destiny of India, and of its British connexion—that has ever happened.

SUNDERLAND.—On Monday last, at a very large meeting of the Town Council of Sunderland, Robert Brown, Esq., solicitor—in politics a Liberal, who supported Colonel Thompson against Mr. Hudson in the late contest for the Parliamentary representation of the borough, and in reli gious creed a member of the Wesleyan Methodists' Society, in which he is also an eloquent local mmister—was unani mously elected Mayor, on the motion of Andrew White, Esq., late M.P. for Sunderland, sec4ncled by Anthony John Moore, Esq.—Leeds Mercury. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS• (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa turday. Sales only 2,000 bags, all - to the trade. There was no change in prices. A most valuable document has appeared in our morning Contemporary, the Times, of the railways at present formed and in operation—of those that are in the course of construc tions—and of the newly-pre acted lines. To the lines already in operation it is not our intention at the present time to refer, nor to those in the course of construction ; but we shall confine our remarks to the projected companies. Taking the return noticed to be correct, it appears that the amount of deposits actually paid up for fresh railways is within a few pounds of 50 millions sterling. This was more than was anticipated by the most active capitalist who is daily watching the state of the money market. The capital represented as required to carry out all the intended projects is given at almost 800,000,000/. The Times makes this statement the handle to claim credit for its warnings to the public since July last, so that people having cash should not further em bark in railway schemes—of course, whether good or bad. Now, if ever there was a feature in the history of this coun try more pre-eminently indicative of the wealth of Great Britain, it is the fact that, with so large an amount of money locked up in. deposits for railway projects, the reaction in the value of the public securities should this year have not been more than sto 6 per cent. Our Consols are the highest priced securities in existence, and though very many sales have been made to pay deposits, and notwithstand ing the increase of the rate of interest by the Bank of England, and the unwarranted course adopted by the Times in exciting alarm, what has been the result? Consols have fallen from 100% to 95, but they have since rallied at least I% per cent. But the Times says not a word of the amalgamations that have taken place, nor of those about to take place, by which a vast amount of de posits will be returned into circulation ; nor, fearing to damage its crotchet, does it say one word of the increased employment that will be afforded to the labouring population—the increased wages that will be earned—the increasel demand that will arise from manufactured goods, and the additional value land will realise in the districts where fresh lines are formed. It is an absurdity to imagine that one-fifth of the projects now in contemplation will be sanctioned by Parliament ; but the more the better, as the country must be bene fited:, The Bank Directors have no fear of an ex tensive demand for specie for exportation. The principal demand of late has been in consequence of the wants of its branches to meet the extra payments for labour. Tons upon tons may be sent to the shops of coin, throughout the . United Kingdom, to meet the increasing demand, but like the ebb and flow of the tide, it will be used to promote the prosperity of the millions. There is no fear that any aug mentation of the railways in this country will tend to do injury. Quite the reverse. . . The Funds opened rather higher again this morning, Consols being 96t/ %, and, both on account of the rather easier state of the money market, and the impression in some quarters that there is more wheat in the country than has been supposed, the improvement seems likely to be maintained. At present Stock for transfer is 96% %, and for Time 96% %. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been firm at 245. and 275. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 97% to 97%, a rise of nearly % per cent. ; and the Three per Cents. 95% to 96 1 4. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 202 to 203 1 / 2 , and India Stock from 263 to 264, both being rather higher. East India Bonds are quoted 38s. premium. The Foreign Investments have been very quiet. Portu guese Four per Cents. have receded from 58% to 57, the advices from Lisbon stating that the Treasury was again in a bad plight. Spanish Five per Cents have been firm at 29i , and Mexican have improved to 304. Braz►l Stock is worth 82 to 82%, an advance of 1 to 1% since Saturday. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have brought 60 3 / 4 , and the Four per Cents. 94 to 1 / 2 . Railway Shares are again slightly mending.

BRUSSELS, Nov, 13.—The Senate was engaged yesterday in discussing the proposed address in answer to the King's speech. The several paragraphs were successively adopted ; one only was slightly altered. The whole was then voted unanimously. A deputation was then chosen to present the address to his Majesty. BRUSSELS, Nov. 14.—The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting yesterday, heard reports on several petitions. In the Senate the King's answer to the address was read. Yesterday (Friday) the markets of the capital were abun dantly supplied, which, however, did not prevent the pro gressive rise in the prices of almost every article of provi sions. 400 sacks of wheat were sold at an average price of 12 francs per half-hectolitre. Rye'sold at 9f. 40c., which is 39 cents. higher than the prices at the preceding market. Barley was sold at 60f. We., and oats at 4f. 12c. per half hectolitre; 300 sacks of potatoes were sold at 15f. to 16f. per 100 kilogrammes. _ . The Clironique de Courtray, of the 13th says, " The audacity' of the plunderers in the country exceeds all bounds. Yester day four individuals, armed with clubs and knives, attacked a soldier of our garrison whom they previously ill-treated, and robbed of all he had about him. Every night since Saturday last the kitchen gardens out of ihe Ghent gate were robbed of part of the vegetables growing in them-the plunderers carrying off rabbits and poultry, in short whatever they'could lay their hands on. A private letter from St. Petersburg, says—" The plan of a marriage of the Grand Duchess Olga to the Arch-Duke Stephen, and the Emperor's visit to the Southern States, is ascribed to increasing coolness between the Cabinets of Berlin and St. Petersburg, and to irritation of the Emperor at the liberal and religious movement, the focus of which is in Prussia. A congress is spoken of to meet shortly at Vienna, for the purpose of being prepared against events in case of a revolutionary movement in Europe, and a constitutional alliance between Prussia and France."

BERLIN, Nov. 7.—ln answer to the second address of the magistrates of Berlin to the King, directions have been given by his Majesty to investigate officially the facts alleged by the magistrates. The second address will not be published till the investigation is ended, on which occasion the answer which the King may be pleased to give will probably be likewise published.

As a small Ere of small articles and long advertisements are continually kept up by means of the press, in addition to various false reports industriously spread on the Stock Ex change and elsewhere, by interested and hostile parties, with a view to injure this line in public opinion, and to do as much mischief as evil intentions and perseverance are able to accomplish, it becomes necessary as frequently to disabuse the public mind en the subject. One of the great objects has been to discredit the declaration signed by the engineers that " they would be ready to deposit their plans ;" this has been again and again refuted by the joint declarations of the en gineers, advertised and re-advertised in the public journals. A second attempt has been made to insinuate that the Directors of the two Companies are not harmonious. We are enabled to state, upon the best authority, that this report, too, is wholly groundless; that the Directors of the two Boards act in per fect unison with each other, and have the best of reasons to believe that all that has been promised will be fully realised. We do not doubt that the writer of an article in the Railway Chronicle of last week, " had good reasons of his own for giving the warning he did;" but even according to his account, the Direct London ar.d Manchester Company have got everything . ne cessary for success--engineers, surveys, and surveyors. Perhaps one might surmise that the writerreferred to one who signed " Gone to the Devil," in the Times—the scribe of the article just mentioned—and the individual so zealously and virtuously interested for the hard case and impending fate of the scripholders, is merely the same individual under the variety of garbs necessary for the occasion. If the agreement against which all this virtuous and dis interested indignation is expended be really executed "in defiance of all legal and moral obligations, and the interests of the scripholders have been sacrificed in any respect, it would occur to every man of common sense that the discon tented portion of the shareholders, whether solicitors or others, should call a public meeting of the shareholders, point out to them the manner in which their interests have been sacrificed, and thus obtain some substantial ground of complaint. This would, at least, be a straightforward course. We repeat, upon the best authority, that the reports re ferred to, with others of a similar kind, are wholly without foundation; that the two Boards act most harmoniously together ; and that there is not the least doubt of being fully in time for compliance with the standing orders.
