The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Railway at or near I.la , low station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mail ing, and Hadlow, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tartbridge Wells, passing [rancid to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great importance of th's railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming, as it will, a most us-MI chain of local communication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and 'Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in conjunction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the north-eastern coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com munication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex. a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply strtll - to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large ac cession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased aecommothrtion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the under taking one of the most important as well as productive lines of rail way in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from Snodland to Chatham and ➢laidstone. The liability of the Shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par liament U, the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap plied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

SECRETAAT—WIIIIatI Lanyard, Esq The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link •f communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast watt the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, 'Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wythane, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur t m-upoa-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with otherpOilected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from "Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There Is no tunnel- Sng, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very Lvel, and may be constricted at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out 'sources of trade untleveleped for want of the means of transit. The centred midland distriets have felt greatly: the want of direct e3remunica don with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the tendency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a traa.it fee the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lel t*.-dersiiire, coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon enpply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tteeas or an unihnited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, the :le:lee:cur.:l districts of Lincoln, which are at present only tp,rl:ed at very high rates; and, In return traffic, the midland dis tricts will o'-tarn the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agriceltural prodace of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. proilo,ed line 3 of railway converge at Kpalding, which is Vie lle.teest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and c . .annecied by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will he sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income t , ?riva , ble frani the trafris in passengers between Birmingham, Co v,ntry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, earth., and other praduce of the great agricultural ~ i stricts through which the line passes to the principal consuming Glistricts, and of coals, lime , and staple commodities for the i n l an d districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surreys have been commenced, and are now In active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.

SECRETARY—I:award Hart Hart, Esq. OFFICES—No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London ; and 36, Upper Temple street, Birmingham. It is proposod by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing Interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway - The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will bo carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, Birmingham to Hull and from and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Ita (Iwa y and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion or this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham: burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening the lines. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospe,ctusas, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs.

CHRONICLE.---The " standing order" applicable to the pay. ment of deposits on railway Bills does not enjoin any specific mode of making the payment, but simply requires that a sum, equal to one-tenth part of the amount subscribed, shall be deposited with the Court of Chancery, if the railway is intended to be made in England ; with the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, or the Court of Chancery in England, if the railway is intended to be made in Scotland ; and with the Court of Chancery in Ireland, if it is in tended to be made in Ireland. As respects railway Bills wb ich were before Parliament during last session, and which may be again in troduced in the next, or which were provisionally registered, or the subscription contract for which was in whole or partly executed before the 29th of July, 1844, a sum only equal to one twentieth part of the amount subscribed is required. to be de posited previous to presenting the petition for the Bill. The act I and 2 Vic., chap. 117, provides that in all cases where it is required by any standing order of either House of Parliament that any sum of money shall be paid by the subscribers to any work or undertaking to be made under the authority of Parliament, the Speaker may direct an application from any five of the directors of the company, that the money shall be paid,rito the:hands the Accountant-General of the Court of Exchequer if the work is in England, " or into the Bank of England, in the name and with the privity of the said Accountant-General;" or into any of the banks of Scotland established by Act of Parliament or royal charter, in the name and with the privity of the Queen's Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, in case the work is to be made in Scotland ; or into the Bank of Ireland, with the privity of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, if the work is to be executed in any part of Ireland. An account is also ordered to be opened in the name of the Accountant- General, and the money is to be placed to the credit of such account. It is directed that every sum paid into the Bank of England in the name of, and with the pri vity of the Accountant-General of the Court of Exchequer, shall be paid in and placed to his account there, " pursuant to the method " prescribed by the Act I Geo. IV., c. 35, and in Ireland, according to the provisions of the Act. 23 and 24 Geo. 111. The ninth section of the Act above referred to, namely, 1 Geo. IV . c. Si, enacts that whenever, at any time after the appointment of a person to to Accountant-General, any person or persons are ordered to pay "any sum or sums of money, or any Exchequer bills, bills of exchange, or other negotiable securities into the Bank of England, the party on whom the order Is made shall, with the privity of such Accountant_General, pay the same int* the Bank of England " to the account of the Accountant-General of the said Court, and the party paying shall take a receipt for the same " from one ef the " cashiers "of the Bank. After the deposits have been so paid in to the credit of the Accountant-General, if the parties who make the payment desire to have any part invested, the Court on a petition will order that the same be laid out in the Threeper Cents. Consolidated or Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, or any Government security or securities. There does not appear to be any specific day fixed for making payment of the deposits to the Accountant-General, the only requisite being that the payments shall be made " previous to the presentation" of the petition for the Bill. Neither is there any proviso that the payment shall be made in coin and bank notes. On the contrary, there is authority in the Act I Geo. IV., c. 35, for believing that it may be made in different kinds of negotiable securities there_ mentioned, viz., " Exchequer-bills, bills of ex. change, or other negotiable securities." If the Bank Dieectors choose to make arrangements with the various banks who now hold the deposits, there is nothing to prcreht them from receiving short bills of exchange, or other negotiable securities, falling due before the time that Parliament meets, in payment. The prcmoters of railway Bill s are only re. quired to pay the deposits before the petitions for their Bills are presented to the Speaker. Their solicitors will of course intimate to their banker the day when this step is to be taken, so that the deposits may be forthcoming; and for that pur pose it may be now easily arranged to be at the bankers' credit, in the Bank of England, before the period when the petition will be presented. Should this arrangement be completed, it will follow that, when the order of the Speaker is received, directing the Accountant.Geueral t. open an account for behoof of the railway company in the Bank of England, the clerks of that este. hihshment will have nothing more to do than to debit the account of the bankers making the deposit, and to credit the amount in account to the credit of the railway company with the Accountant. General. If the banks who hold the deposits place in the hands of the Bank of England short bills to cover the amount which will be required of them, so as to have the same at their own credit in the books of the Bank of England, the solicitors of the different com. panies will apply to the Speaker of the House of Commons, who thereupon will order the money to be paid to the Accountant- General, and an account to be opened in his name for that pur pose, upon which the amount will be transferred from the credit of the bankers' account to the credit of the Accountant -General. Bills of exchange, Exchequer-bills, or other negotiable securities, may be used for the purpose on the usual terms. It might be a good step for scripholders to apply by written requisition to the Provisional Committees, calling upon them to explain the position of their finances ; distinguishing the amount of deposit paid, the number of shares allotted, the number of shares reserved, the names of the banks who hold the deposits, and the manner, amount, and nature of investment. Information of this description, if officially published, would tend to establish the credit of bona fide schemes, and to enable the public to draw a line of distinction between the good and the bad. The weeding process would then commence in t e i a e r z t s h t, e a b n u d h w m h es ile we su u b ld st h an e t r i s a t l . lines would recover their proper posi satiosffynathraosese TIMES.—Now that the notion has been put forth of making r atvtvhhaeoee: present g s ruae p exposure peopleienosneun v r l e ynicne o tooa f mrt t t h, p h haf e n.cdi r ei amountat sn i y, l o w btiv a n y t ye inclined mania nietnofe drseu bptoma depositrdi tpt e lloc p e dsu e tpi n p depend u ye p : Pteaah n lrolti as i h aParlia m en t , consideration preliminary o eernrigecredit n itwateief originating nh n oi dne - f Pa Pa the en q t u s as the only manner anencumbrance o c f u mmharkeinncge the upon es to tio t n h , e u A nt c i co l t u h n is ta fi n r t s; G stepe n e r h a a l s , beets established.

This they will of course make known through the ordinary medium of adver. tisements, but we may give place here to the first instance of the kind which has come under our observation, for the sake of the good example it will afford to the rest. With respect, then, to the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junc tion Railway Conipany, Mr. W. T. 11. Phelps, the solicitor thereof, desires to state, for the satisfaction of the shareholders, that the sum of 54,0001. has been paid into the b ankers' hands to its credit, the greater portion of which has since been invested at interest ; that the whole of the deposit called for amounts to 60,0001., some unallotted shares to the ex tent of the difference between the two sums " having been re served for the landowners on the line or for contingent circum. stances, as is usual in all railways." This is setting a good pre cedent for others to follow, and one part of this state ment leads to another consideration for the bene fi t of the participators in similar companies, in showing that it is not always left to the t bankers to use the deposits as they please, but that the parties direct an investment to be made, the profit upon which goes of course to the credit of the concern. SEVERE SENTENCE.—At the Sheriff Criminal Court, Edinburgh, a few days ago, James Ferguson, alias Francis Henderson, was charged with falsehood, fraud, and wilftd imposition, in having, on the 12th or 13th day of June last, uttered as genuine a forged letter, addressed to Mr. It. S. Moncrieff, Chamberlain to his Grace the Duke of Ruceleuch, at Da'keith, setting forth a tale of dis tress, and containing various false representations, whereby he im posed upon Mr. Moncrieff, from whom he obtained a small sum. He was also charged with imposing on Mr. J. Paterson, Dalkeith. The prisoner pleaded Guilty; and the Sheriff, after severely reprobating his conduct, sentenced him to 18 mouths' imprisonment.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1845, On every fitting occasion that has presented itself for some time past we have earnestly and honestly endeavoured to advocate the interests of her MAJESTY'S Navy. Considering that arm as the most powerful which the national service possesses, we have ever felt the most anxious solicitude to watch over the course of all events which had a bearing on its efficiency and healthful vigour. The anxiety under which, from time to time, we have endeavoured to preis its pre eminent claims upon the public sympathy and protection has been at once justified and rewarded by the flattering adknowledgments which have been addressed to us by parties long attached to the profession, and whose approbation we, of course, consider the more valuable by reason of their great personal experience and technical knowledge of all the details into which it has been our duty to enter. But if we have endeavoured to strengthen the appeals preferred by, or on behalf of the neglected and meri torious officer, we have not forgotten we trust the perhaps yet more important claims of the hardy seaman. In pointing _ _ _ out the vital considerations which gave a more than tem porary interest to the important complaints, and revelations of defective construction, and deteriorated sailing and hand ling of our ships, which were so usefully, albeit unceremo niously, produced before Parliament, by such uncompro mising professional critics as Sir CHARLES NAPIER, Lord INGESTRE, Capt. Mous, and Capt. BERKELEY, the main object that it seemed to us our duty to insist upon was, the better treatment of our sailors. It was so self-evident that the majoritypf the defects, moral and material, which had been brought under the review, first of the Admiralty, and secondly of the Legislature, arose from that vice in our naval administration, which neglected all established provi sion for maintaining the crews of our men-of-war in a condi tion of permanent efficiency, that we at once concluded the remedy of this error to be at the root of all practical reform in the service. Retiring pensions, or half-pay, or some other means of maintaining able seamen, when paid off from one ship at one time, not only in a condition, but with a desire to enter the service in any other vessel, at any other time, when required by the Government authorities —this seemed to be the first expedient necessary to be adopted. The mere equity and justice of the case demanded it, and every consideration of expediency and policy was in favour of a plan which could not fail to impart confidence and affection to those gal lant spirits whose interests it would be its especial purpose honourably to secure. Therefore we have, on all opportu- nities, attempted to do justice to the long-delayed pretensions which, until the commencement of the present Parliament, have found so few supporters to persist in pressing them as topics for conciliatory adjustment, before some great political exigency should arise to convert them into imperious de mands of uncontrollable and almost hostile necessity. While there is yet time we trust that all the arrangements and con ditions necessary far the attainment of this great object will be completed promptly as well as liberally. We are led to offer this suggestion the more emphatically in consequence of an announcement we have recently copied from the Western Conservative, touching some very unfor- tunate manifestations that have exhibited themselves on board her MAJESTY'S ship Albion. We have read this ac count with infinite pain, and we trust shall not be suspected of any lukewarmness of regard for the comforts or the feel ings of our tars in general in protesting that we consider the conduct of the parties concerned in these . disturbances to have been of the most flagrant and offensive character. We will even go further. Doing all justice to the motives which may have actuated those gallant, humane, and distinguished officers, Commander CHAMBERS and Capt. LOCKYEAR, in the very forbearing spirit in which they exercised their authority in repressing the mutinous disposition of the malcontents in the Albion, we do think that that forbearance has been pushed to a point almost in compatible with the safety and honour of the service. Acts of more mutinous insubordination—excesses of more inso - - lent violence, short of personal outrage—mischievous and malignant destruction of the ship's equipment and stores, so far as they went—more utterly unworthy of the manly character of British seamen wedo not remember to have read of. The generous moderation of the Commander (Cnanr nEns), twice exemplied under circumstances of irritating disobedience of orders, seemed to produce no sort of effect upon the mutineers—for such we must call them. What the absti nence of the commander failed to produce the more decided, though still very forbearing course adopted by the captain, did not accomplish. The affair ended—for the present, at least—by releasing thirty-three of the men who had been put in irons, and retaining seven others in durance, to await a more signal punishment. Our own impression of the circumstances re mains immovable. namely, that such culpaple criminality re quired a more extensive example, seeing how many were known to be engaged, and how many more, in the darkness of the night only presumed to be so, in these outrages. It is of this last consequence that it should not go forth to the crews of other of her MAJESTY'S ships, that such demo- . ralising examples may be set to the most nume rous branch of the service with comparative im punity. If such a notion were for a moment permitted to acquire general credit, there is no estimating the injurious tendency it might produce by its influence upon some fo reign powers, which would seize with avidity upon any in dications of such an auxiliary to their hostile designs as in cipient disaffection in the British fleet. This is one of those cases, then, in which it behoves the authorities to institute a most searching investigation, with a view to visiting some marked, though not excessive punishment, for such acts of incipient mutiny. Those authorities must be prepared, how ever, while they visit penalties on others, to take their just share of public censure and displeasure as to themelves. Nothing, it may be, can sufficiently excuse these sailors of the Albion for what they have done; but there may be much to account for and extenuate it. This very probable result ought not to deter them, in a matter of such vital interest to the nation, from instituting and carrying through such an inquiry, It may be found that the duty devolving on the crews of these experimental squadrons, by reason of past errors in the pro- • ceedings of the Admiralty ; the dispersion and discourage ment of able bodied seamen ; the all but invincible difficulty experienced in re-enlisting them ; the time consumed and the obstacles to be overcome in forming them; the faults and ruinous economy of sending ships-of-war to sea, with peace or reduce complements, with no matter how small proportions of able men ; the consequent increase of the same hardships by reason of increased labour, increased watches, diminished comforts, and abridged indulgences, may have formed the staple grievances complained of by the mutineers on board the Albion. Again, we repeat, that they cannot justify nor ex cuse the enormous delinquency of which the culprits have been guilty, in sullying the prestige of British naval loyalty. But their being clearly ascertained to have formed the ele ments of a past catastrophe, may be, we trust in GOD, the eertain means of obviating their recurrence in future. The• one thing needful that remains to do is—that which ought long since to have been done—justice to our seamen. It is evident that the monopolists are now perfectly re signed to their fate, and that Sir ROBERT PEEL may, when he pleases, carry a measure for the repeal of the corn-laws through Parliament with quite as little difficulty as he car ried his measure fur the imposition of the Property tax. We last week alluded to Lord ASHLEY'S most remarkable letter on this subject, and the publication of that letter has given rise to a still more remarkable speech from a gentleman of still higher Tory principles than Lord ASHLEY—a gentleman who is generally considered as one of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM'S Members—we mean Mr. 131cx- Irma Escorr. Thus does he speak of Lord ASHLEY'S letter : " Lord Ashley is an able man, sees truly what is coming ; but then Lord Ashley is tainted with that which is the feeling of so many county Members, or, it' not their feeling, it is the mode in which they speak and write. He mites of the corn-law as given up, but then he describes its loss as a blow, and a blow, in another place, destructive of the prosperity of his constituents. Why, surely, if the Noble Lord thinks this, then the House of Commons is the place where he and others who think the same should ward off the blow. Lbrd Ashley Is quite right in saying the corn.law is given up ; but how can he be right in submitting quietly to allow his constituents to suffer heavy blows It Gen tlemen, the truth is—and it had better be spoken plainly— it is the conduct of the special representative of what they call agricultural opinions which has precipitated the fall of this corn.law. Why, I have sat in the House of Com mons and heard a gentleman, a worthy friend of my own—pur in character, high in fortune and station—harangue the repre sentatives of the people by the hour on the low price of beef, mute ton, veal, and lamb—and do this avowedly for the purpose of supporting agriculture and promaing up protection; in other words, arraying the supposed interests of agriculture against the real in terests of the people, whereas I always thought that the only way to maintain any system of protection was to show, if you can, that the interests of the community required it." Mr. Bicturam Escorr is quite right. The only way to maintain any system is to show that the interests of the community require its continuance ; and it is because the most clever advocates of monopoly in bye-gone times (in cluding among them Mr. BICKHAM Escorr himself) have failed to show that the interests of the community required protection, while, on the other hand, the most subtle oppo nents of free trade have been compelled, even while they opposed it, to admit that its doctrines are the doctrines of common sense, that the doom of monopoly is sealed, and the avatar of free trade is at band. Now Lord ASHLEY considers this will be a heavy blow to the agricultural interest ; Mr. BICKHAM ESCOTT, on the contrary, although he feels with Lord ASHLEY that " the game is up," dreads no blow. He thinks the change inevitable, but he does not despond for the result. Nor is there the least reason for desponding. On the con trary, the farmer will be greatly benefited by the change, for he will have attained a sure and certain basis on which to form his calculations for the future, and will be no longer the victim of those who have sought to make him believe that legislation could do for him that which every man of common sense was perfectly aware it was out of the power of legislation to accomplish, viz., fix a minimum price for his produce; and have under this false pretence induced him:to promise to pay a rent higher than they were in justice entitled to demand, or than he was in in prudence justified in giving. Mr. BICKHAM Escorr thus proceeds— " Lor d Ashley is, indeed, right on one point; when the leading men of all parties are agreed to support common sense, it must be very uncommon nonsense that can prevail against them." We hope, therefore, that there will be no factious opposi tion to the change which is now inevitable, but that the less enlightened Members of the monopolist body will "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the words of certainly one of the most talented and courageous of their champions, and keep their " uncommon nonsense" to themselves. Madrid papers of the 20th inst. have been received. Ac counts from Barcelona state that slight disturbances had taken place at Gerona, St. Andres de Polamar, and some other small towns in Catalonia, but, not as had been reported, on account of the new tax. They appear to have been caused chiefly by the despotic conduct of General BRETON and a rigid enforcement of the recruiting system. At Gerona an officer of the civic guard had been killed, and two of the recruits said to be implicated were to be shot. BRETON, in consequence of these events, had set out for Gerona on the 15th, accompanied by a strong detachment of troops. A letter, dated Santander, October 17th, says:—" The day before yesterday Sir JOSHUA WALMESLEY, accompanied by the celebrated engineer, GEORGE STEPHENSON, arrived in this town, for the purpose of examining the road between this place and the canal of Castile to Valladolid, with the view to establish a communication by railroad. Sir J. \VAT...LESLEY was received by the provincial deputation, and the illustrious travellers are to be attended by a special com mittee during their stay." No business was done on the Madrid Bourse in the Five or Three per Cents., but Coupons not to be capitalised were quoted at 24 for cash. The Paris papers contain no further intelligence relative to the battle between a division under General LAMORICIERE and the Arab troops, of which ABD-EL-KADER was said to be an eye-witness. "We expected," says the Journal des Debats, " to find in the Messager the close of the telegraphic dispatch from PERPIGNAN which had been interrupted by the night. Our evening Contemporary, however, contains no thing on the subject, and the fog which has prevailed all day no doubt is the cause." Some of the French journals srcu late on the means to be adopted by Marshal BUGEAUD to put down AIM. EL-KADER. One of them states that the campaign which is about to commence cannot be of long duration, in consequence of the rainy season, but in the spring a complete expedition will be organized to pursue the restless chief to his last re treat. A letter in another, dated Toulon the 20th, says :—" It is believed that the Governor-General will penetrate into Morocco at the head of a column of 15,000 men of all arms, after having pacified the province of Oran, and driven ADD- EL- KADER into the territory of the empire. Everything announces that the military operations will, on this occasion, be conducted on a grand scale. Thirty assistant-surgeon have arrived in our town to proceed to Africa, by, order of the Minister of War, to be attached to the hospitals. Others have embarked at Marseilles. We are assured that diplomatic negotiations are about to be com menced with ABDERAIIMAN, and that a naval division, or perhaps the entire squadron commanded by Admiral PARSE VAL DESCIIENES, will proceed to Tangiers to support the re clamations of our Consul. But to what purpose is it to ne gotiate again with the Emperor of MoRocoo? Has not this Sovereign always protested his friendship for France, even whilst his son and his generals at the head of an army of 40,000 men were attacking our army on the frontier. ?" We find little djmestic intelligence From thess papers of any interest. The accounts of the harvest and the state of the grain in the southern provinces were favourable. According to accounts from Dresden of the 120th inst., the address of the Lower Chamber was adopted without amend ment by a majority of 55 to 12. During the discussion several Members protested against the claim of the Govern ment to alter the religious oath without the consent of Par liament. The Minister of the Interior skilfully turned aside the question raised, declaring, for the satisfaction of his op ponents, that the Government would never forget that Saxony was the cradle of Protestantism. The reformation commenced by BONGE, was still spreading, and the feelings against the Church of Rome were generally and loudly ex- pressed. The following declaration made by the German Catholics of Pforzhem, in Wirtemberg, we give as )a specimen : " We cast from us the chains of Rome, we desire that the German priests should recover the right which every man pos. sesses to choose a wife for himself. We demand that auricular confession should no longer be abused—that prayers may be said in our mother language, and that the priests should no longer anathematise the Christian Protestants, which but tends to destroy concord and peace in families and in the communes, and excites in the breasts of the people hatred one against the other." " On the 21st the Emperor and Empress of Russia embarked at Genoa, accompanied by their suite, for Palermo, on board several Russian frigates which were waiting to receive them. The King, Charles Albert, repaired to the frigate which had the Czar and family on board, to bid them adieu. The artillery of the town and forts kept up an incessant fire during the whole time of leave. taking, which lasted more than half an hour."

We have received this evening by the royal mail steamer Cambria, Captain Judkin', New York papers to the 15th, Boston 16:b, and Halifax the 18th instant. The Cambria has made an excellent voyage of eleven days from New York and nine from Halifax. She met there the Hibernia, which reached that port in thirteen days. The Great Britain had the misfortune to run short of coal after a very stormy pas sage of seventeen days from Liverpool to New York, and was obliged from want of coal to put into Holmes Hole, Nan tucket, where she was supplied by a schooner which hap pened to be laying there. It was erroneously - supposed, from her firing guns of distress, that she. had gone on shore, but this was not correct, and she arrived, as before stated, at New York on the morning of the 17th. The number of pas sengers (about 100) by the Cambria was increased by two on the voyage—the lady of one of the passengers being safely delivered of twins on Sunday last. The intelligence in these papers is not important. All talk abut a war with Mexico had ceased—indeed that devoted country is in such an unsettled state, that domestic rebellion cannot be kept down, much less a war be undertaken against Texas or the United States. The trials of the anti-renters in Delaware county had ter minated. Two of the men engaged in the shooting of the Sheriff Steele were sentenced to be executed on the 29th of November, and seventeen others to various terms of impri sonment. 'the Mormon troubles had subsided, but not until an efffc tual demonstration had been made by the local authorities, who were prepared to put them down by force, by, the strong arm of the law. Lynch law, according to the papers, had been put into requisition in the case of some Mormons near St. Louisville. Some of the New York papers are occupied with specula tions on the expected modifications of the tariff by the ensu ing Congress, and it seems to be generally conceded that Mr Polk is in favour of returning to the Compromise Act, or an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. on all articles introduced. The American Post-office had advertised for tenders for carrying the mails to Liverpool, Cowes, Havre, Lisbon, and other places, by steam. Only Americans are eligible. CANADA.—A serious fire broke out at Montreal on the 4th inst. It originated in a building in Queen-street, occupied as a coffee manufactory and coppersmith's shop, where it could have been confined had there been decision and power to demolish a few small wooden buildings in the vicinity. The ere spread rapidly from building to building, over nearly the entire block, from Queen-street, on the north, to Prince-street, on the south, from Wellington-street east to Gabriel-street west ; one house at the corner of Queen and Gabriel streets, and part of a building at the corner of Queen and Wel lington streets, were saved in a damaged condition ; the part .t" the one at the corner of Wellington and Queen streets, wa; cut in two, and the burning end severed from the other, The fire crossed Prince street, consumed the next block through to Nazareth-street, and crossed Nazareth-street, burning one or more buildings on the south side of that street; two or three were blown up' to arrest the fire. The buildings - consumed were many of them of a rather ordinary kind, wcupied by families in the humbler walks of life; the distress and privation, therefore, caused by this fire are great. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The following is the latest commercial news : NEW YORK, OCT. 15. In money matters all is easy. The banks have a moderate and steady business demand for discounts. Fancy stocks are stationary. because, perhaps, much of the capital usually afloat and applicable to short loans on stocks, has been absorbed in the first. rate bonds and mortgages which the fire insurance companies have beta obliged to part with in order to pay the losses thrown on them by the great fire in July. All apprehension, and indeed all rumours, of war with Mexico are now at an end, and as the stated time for the assembling of Congress is now approaching, there will probably be no new Execu tive thmonstrations in Texas or elsewhere. There has been a slight Improvement in the quotations for some of the State securities. Indiana bodds have advanced several per cent. within the past two months, without any visible cause. The market value of the stocks of the delinquent states generally does not vary much, as speculations in them have nearly ceased. There are great fluctuations in the market prices of our good dividend•paying railroad stocks, although the operations are limited, and they are not controlled particularly by brokers. There are so many new schemes proposed, and the mania to engage in new lines has taken such hold upon certain classes, that the stock of the old companies is sacrificed to make investments in new, having wider margins for an improvement. We have no change to report in the condition of our state treasuries. The public works of this state have been unusually productive ; the receipts exceed those of any previous season. It is estimated that the revenue of the New York state canals for 1845 will not fall far short of 3,000,000 dollars. The revenue of the year from customs will fall very con siderably short of that of last year, while the expenditures will be swelled by several additional millions on account of the mill. tart' and naval display in Texas and in the Bay of Mexico. What influence this may hare on the projected assault in the next Congress upon the tariff we leave to conjecture. It is, how ever, certain, we apprehend, an attempt under the auspices of the President will be made to modify very essentially existing duties. A recommendation to abolish the minimum principle in ad valorem duties, and generally in favour , of reducing all duties to a mere revenue standard, will, it seems to be understood, be made in the President's Message on the opening of Congress. The Secretary of the Treasury's report will fortify this recommendation by ►tatistics prepared ad hoc. Whether Louisiana which needs protection for its sugar, and Pennsylvania which needs protection for its coal and iron, and Virginia and New York which needs pro tection, the first for coal and mit, the latter for salt, and all the various manufacturing intere►ts of the country, which needs more or less protection—will be less p. erfUl in their influence upon Congress than the executive vas • nmendatlon backed by the plant ing interest of the south ,std the delusive theories of a partial free trade—remains to be seen. We think not. Exchange on England has undergone a slight decline, bills being dull of sale at 91. On France, the current rates are sf. 25c. Cotton—The market is quiet, as both buyers and sellers are hourly expecting the arrival of the Great Britain, with later advices from Europe. Flour—The demand has been moderate to-day. Holders, however, are firm at 4 doll. 87i cents. to 4' doll. 94 cents. for Genesee, and 4 doll. 78 cents. to 4 doll. 87i cents, for Michigan and Ohio. 1,000 barrels of Michigan sold at 4 doll. 78 cents. New Southern flour is sold at 4 doll. 87i cents. to 5 doll. Rye flour, 3 doll. 50 cents. Sales of corn meal have been made at 2 doll. 87i cents. The receipts of flour, via the North River, during the last two days amount to 24,583 barrels. 1,600 bushels rye sold at 70 cents.; 3,000 bushels of bailey at 59 cents.; 1,500 do. and :;,000 bushels of wheat, on private terms. North River oats sell freely at 40 to 41 cents.; 3.000 bushels southern white corn brought 61 cents. weight. Ashes—Pots are in fair demand, and sales are made at 3 doll. 94 cents. to 4 doll. Pearls are in moderate request at 4 doll. 121 cents. per 100 pounds. Tallow sells freely at 7i to 7i cents. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, OCT. 28.—Wind S.W., light breeze and fine.

The following curious intelligence had been received from Mexico at New York, by the Petersburgh, a trading vessel : The Legislative Council of the Sandwich Islands, consisting of a [louse of Nobles and a House of Representatives, convened on the 20th of May. The opening of the Council was conducted with all the formality of the opening of the British Parliament--Guns were fired from the torts, and the foreign vessels responded. _ _ . . - The King's speech is In imitation of that of the kings of Europe. Peace is announced with all nations, and the attention of the Legislature is directed to all matters of local or public concerns. The following paragraphs conclude the King's speech : " We consider it the first of our duties to protect religion, and promote good morals and general educatio.t. It will, therefore, be your duty to consider by what means those blessings can be best promoted and extended among the people of these islands, and also among the foreigners resident in our dominions. We are well aware that the Word of God is the corner stone of our kingdom. Through its influence we have been introduced into the family of the independent nations of the earth. It shall therefore be our constant endeavour to govern our subjects in the fear of the Lord ; to temper justice with mercy in the punishment of crime; and to reward industry and virtue. " The Almighty Ruler of nations has dealt kindly with us in our troubles, in restoring our kingdom, togother with special gua rantees for its existence as an independent nation. May He also aid you in your deliberations, and may he grant his special protec tion to us, to you, and to our people." The San, which furnishes us with this news, says that when the King's speech was concluded, one of the nobles, Governor Young, offered resolutions of thanks to the Governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium, and the United States, for recognising the independence of the islands, which passed unanimously. On the next day, the 21st, both houses replied to the King's address, concluding with " God preserve the King," At the opening of the Legislative Council on the 20th May, the new national banner was unfurled, differing little however from the former. It is octo, parted per fess, first, fourth and seventh argent; second, fifth and sixth azure, for the eight Islands united under one sovereign, indicated by crosses saltire of St. Andrew and St. Patrick quarterly, per saltire counter charged, argent and gu'es. A coat of arms has also been adopted which is, quarterly, first and fourth stripes of the national banner, second and third, or ball argcnt on a staff sable—in escutcheon vent, triangular banner argent, leaning on a cross saltire. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE WORKHOUSE.- - On Monday Mr. William Carter held an inquest in the board-room of r ewington Workhouse, on the body of James Whitehead, aged sixty-t ve years, a pauper. From, the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been very 'arm for some time past, and was unable to perform any laborious work. On Friday afternoon last, whilst he was walking across the yard, he was seen to fall to the ground as in a fit. Several of the paupers ran to him and lifted him up, but be was then in sensible, and was carried into the house, where he was seen by the parochial surgeon, who pronounced life to be quite extinct. Death was attributed to an affection of the heart. The jury returned A verdict of " Death from natural causes."
