The great importance of the above line of railway, not exceeding 57 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map. It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at Hampton Gay, seven miles beyond Oxford, on the route to Birming ham, accommodating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, high Wycombe, Prince's Risborough, Theme, licoster, and many other places at present without railway communication. It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica tion with Dublin. It will also, by a short branch to Woodstock, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighten, and all adja cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis, thereby saving much time and inconvenience. The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and it will save an average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentiOned places, as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does, parks and ornamental property. The positive distance saved by this line, as compared with the Lon don and Birmingham Railway, will he about four miles ; but the time saved in the journey between these places will be about thirty minutes, in consequence of the greater speed attainable on the broad gauge, which it is the intention of this Company to adopt. It will be seen from the foregoing facts that the formation of this line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de livery of their many marketable products by opening another and more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the construction of the line will not cost 20,000/. per mile, while the London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,000/. per mile, upon which enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent. Shareholders in the Grand .Junction, Great Western, South Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which, from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to exceed two years. The Company reserves the power of forming a branch to Oxford, if found necessary. Application for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the following sharebrokers :—London : Mr. W.

Description •• •• •• •• •• Residence .• •• •• •• • . •• Reference to .. •• •• .• •• PRESENTATION OF — PLATE.-011 Saturday night, after the performances had concluded at the Adelphi, a very gratifying demonstration took place on the stage, in the pre sentation of a splendid piece of plate to Mr. Webster, the lessee of that establishment, the voluntary offering of the artists, au thors, and employees of the theatre, to a gentleman whose suc- I cessful exertions to promote the interests of the drama have been productive of benefit, not to himself alone, but to a vast number of persons dependent upon the prosperity of theatrical affairs for their sole support. The particular circumstance which called for this tribute was, the completion of the first season under Mr. Webster's lesseeship of the Adelphi Thea tre. The piece of plate, which is a beautifully executed far simile of the celebrated 'Warwick Vase, from the atelier of Messrs. Mortimer and Hunt, weighing 136 ounces, bears the following inscription, expressive of the intentions and senti ments of the donors :—"This vase was presented to Benjamin Webster, Esq., Lessee of the Theatre Royal Adelphi, by the members, as a token of their regard for his unwearied exer tions and perseverance, and to commemorate the unprece dented prolongation of the season, which commenced upon the 28th day of September, 1844, and ended on the 27th day of September, 1845." Madame Celeste, the directress - of the Adelphi Theatre, with the members of the company, and the subscribers to the testimonial, being assembled on the stage, Mr. Paul Bedford, the townsman and early friend of Mr. Webster, presented the vase to him, accompanied by an ap propriate speech, which was suitably acknowledged by Mr. Webster. The concluding part of the ceremony consisted in partaking of a cold collation, and uncorking a goodly array of champagne bottles, and quaffing their contents to the health of " The Lessee," " The fair Manageress," and " Prosperity to the Adelphi Theatre," and which was not the least animated and pleasurable part of the proceedings. PURCHASE OF THE REGENT'S CANAL.—The Re gent's Canal has been purchased by a new railway company. The purchase money is 1,000,0001., of which sum 500,000/. is to be paid down, and the remaining 500,000/. is- to be paid in three instalments, extending over a period of th ree years. The purchase was legally ratified on '1 period of three years. The purchase was legally ratified on '1 hursday. The result will be most advantageous to the present shareholders in the canal, for they will now receive 461. for each share, although, a short time since, the shares could have been procured as low as 13/. The Regent's Canal begins at Paddington and terminates at Blackwell, and we shall consequently have a railway running through the heart of London, and connect ing the Great Western, the London and Birmingham, and Eastern Counties Railways.—Railway World. HOPS.—Hop-picking has partially commenced in the counties of Worcester and Hereford. At IVorcester fair on Wednesday only one pocket was seen, and that was not sold, no price being fixed for it by the grower.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. council of state, were expected to appear in the Gazette on the following day. It was understood that Senor Buncos was to be Vice-President, and that the Duke DE FRIAS, the Marquis DE VILUDIA, M. DE MIRA FLORES, Messrs. AYLLON, OLIVAN, MESA, &C., were to form part of the council. The Duke DE RIANZARES had arrived from Paris. The papers still continued to write about the proposed marriages of the QUEEN and her sister, but w: see nothing in the articles deserving no• tice, No business was done on the Bourse. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 6,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were steady at advanced rates. A commercial communication from New York, received by the Caledonia to-day, by a most influential merchant of the City, observes :—" Our affairs with Mexico still remains in suspense, though with diminished probabilities of any col lision. United States Stocks have not rallied to their pre vious quotations." But in ,a postscript it is added—" Since writing the preceding we find the quotations of this morning's meeting of the Board of Brokers indicative of a general de cline—the market closing heavy." This is under date of New York, the 15th September. We find by the commercial accounts which have just come to hand, that there is every probability of the Viscount Abrantes succeeding in his mission of forming a treaty with the Zollverein. if this point is gained, it must be in direct opposition to • the best interests of England, and the more mortifying will it be because, in the first instance, the Bra zilian Envoy was deputed to our Court with the offer of libe ral terms for the formation of a new commercial treaty. Upon previous occasions it has been noticed by us how advantageous such a combination would be to the manufacturing interest of this country, but with a species of wilfulness which cannot be easily accounted for, the policy of Sir R. Peel appears to be to throw everything into the hands of foreigners for the purpose of keeping np the monopoly of the West India plan ters. A very slight reduction in the duties upon Brazilian sugar would have cemented the mercantile intercourse which Las so beneficially been carried on between the two nations. From Canada we have not much news of interest to-day. The intention to form communications between various parts of the colony was still very much extolled, 'and no question a full measure of support would be given to it. The trade of the colony was very good. From Buenos Ayres the advises are important, and a ter mination of the Monte Videan blockade having been effected, we shall hear soon of open war between England, France, and Buenos - Ayres, or of the acquiescence of Roses in our demands. _ _ A very heavy market has prevailed this morning for the British Securities. Consols for Money have receded to 97 , % and fir Account to 97%. The " stalking horse" of the Bears is, that war between this country and the United States is rendered likely, in consequence of the collision between the htter and Mexico.

This is the settlement day in the Railway Share Market, and the greater part of the attention of the brokers, the jobbers, and others, are directed to this important matter.

The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market do 'ring last week, were on the increase; bet those of Barley, N'Alt, Oats, and all other grain of home produce were on a N - ery limited scale. Of Irish Oats, the receipts were tolerably good; the imports ofForeign Wheat and Oats very extens.ive. of both red and white; yet, as the attendance of London ilnd country dealers was large, the demand for that article tans very steady, at fully the advance obtained in the currencies: on Illonday last, and at which a good clearance was effea:ed by the factors. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was, com paratively speaking, limited. The best qualities sold briskly, at extreme ra•es, while other kinds moved off steadily, at tjll prices. For Corn under lock for export, the inquiry 1711,41 by" no means so active as last week; nevertheless, the importers would not sell, except at fully the late improvement in the quotations. 'Very few parcels have been en tered for home consumption at the 17s. duty. We had very fine parcels of English Barley offering, and then show of Foreign was again small. Malting and grinding sorts` sold freely, at very full prices; but distilling kinds were a slow sale. The best kinds of Malt, which were scarce, wars in improved request, and last week's rates were well sup ported. The middling and inferior sorts were in sluggish request. Notwithstanding the immense arrivals of Foreign Oats, a good business was doing in descriptions, and Isue rates were sustained in every instance. A few parcels cot Foreign Beans were taken for shipment. The desnettit for most kinds of English was firm, at the improvement value noticed last week. White Peas were dearer; but Grey and Maple were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Flour moro.t off slowly, at unaltered currencies. In Seeds very few sales were reported. Louvain and Jemeppe 4 ... .

The past week's importations of live Stock into London have been again extensive—they having amounted to 61 Oxen from Hamburgh ; 190 Oxen and Cows, together with 477 Sheep .and 19 Calves, from Rotterdam, the whole oe which have come to hand in good saleable condition. Ws had on offer 71 Oxen and Cows, and 150 Sheep, which moved off steadily, at previous quotations. The supply home-fed Beasts was very extensive, even the time of yiegir considered; yet their general quality was by no means first-rate. The attendance of butchers being some what numerous, the primest Scots, Herefords, Devon.% he., commanded a ready sale, at fttllv, but at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained last week, viz., from 3s 8d to 4s per Blbs. In the middling and inferior breeds of Beasts, only a limited business was transacted, yet prices were supportetL From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and our other northern grazing districts, we received 2,200 short. horns; from the Eastern Counties 300 Scots, homebreds and short-horns ; from the west.rn and midland districts 500 Herefords, Devons, runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 350 of various kinds ; from Scot land, 130 Scots ; and from Ireland, 90 Beasts. The arrivals of Sheep still fall considerably short of those at the same time in 1844, owing to which the Mutton trade, to day, was very steady, particularly for long wools, and pre., viotts rates were obtained by the salesmen without difficulty. Lamb being now quite out of season, we have discontinued to quote it. The Veal trade was rather slow, and, .in some ilk stances, prices had a downward tendency. Pigs were a brisk sale, at higher prices.

(THIS DAY.) _ _ This being Michaelmas day, agreeably to the Charter ot the City of London, and also to annual custom, a Common Hall was held in the Guildhall, for the purpose of enabling the Livery of London'to exercise their undoubted rights mid privileges in electing a Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year. Of late years the election of a Lord Mayor: of London has been considered a subject of great interest among the Livery, and not that common-place routine proceeding which it formerly used to be. The severe but unsuccesefu contest cf Mr. Harmer for the Civic Chair, and the untiring determination of Alderman Thomas Wood to present himself annually as a candidate for the office of chief magistrate of the first city in the world, which his brethren of the Livery had always accorded to him by a show of hands, but whose wishes the Court of Aldermen, in the plenitude of their judgment, had not thought it right to ac cede to, have in no small degree increased that interest, and strengthened the determination of the Livery to persevere in returning to the Court of Alderman a gentleman whom they were convinced was in every respect well qualified to Jai the office, and who bad only been prevented from doing so by the unjust scruples entertained by the Court of Alder men. Th e intention of Alderman Thomas Wood a ga i n to ask the suffrages of the Livery having been an nounced, all was excitement and bustle at the Guildhall to-day. At an early hour the neighbourhood of King-street and the Guildhall prevented a good show of pla cards calling upon the Livery to elect Alderman Thomas Wood and Alderman Johnson to the civic chair, but those ot the former preponderated considerably. Shortly before 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and sheriffs assembled in the Council Chamber, and from thence proceeded in state to the church of St. Lawrence Jury, where a most excellent sermon was preached by the Lord Mayor's chaplain, Michael Gibbs, M.A., of Christ Chuch, from the 23d cha p tor 3d verse, " He of the 2d book of Samuel, and the the Rev. that ruleth over men must be just."

The Commas SERGEANT, in the absence of the Recorder, then came forward, and said, that in consequence of the un fortunate absence of the Recorder, occasioned by an over whelming calamity, it was his duty to tell the Livery that they were convened for the exercise of the valuable privilege —(Cries of " Bravo) of electing a chief magistrate the the year ensuing. The Livery had the power of nominating two persona to be returned to the Court of Alderman wle had served the office of sheriff ' • the name of those Aldermen who had not pa sse d the chair would all be put up for their choice, and they could showy any two of them, provided they had filled the office of sherill That the election of the. Livery would fall upon the ro cal eligible person, he had no doubt, from the former choice they had made, and in orde r th a t th e ir e lection should be free anti unbiassed, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, in company wista the Sheriffs, would retire from the Hall. A. lAVERYMAN—WiII the Court of Aldeimen elect the person who is the choice of the Livery ?—tffat is all we re quire. —(Great cheering.) Mr. Alderman Noon then came forward amid cheering from all parts of the Hall, and when silence was somewhat es:ored, he spoke evidently under considerable agitation. Ile said,—Gentlemen, I am aware that it is not customary:for Kt Alderman, before the chair, to address you at so early a stage of the meeting as this. But 1 have done so before, and 1 mean to follow the, same course to-day. 1 shall, howat'er, only address a few words to you on this occasion.— (Cheers.) - 1 ant in the rotation under circumstances very differout from former years, and however my claims might had suffered or my motives been maligned—however much I might have been made the dupe of others in all these relations, I think I have a warrantry to say, by the respectable assemblage I sec present to support me, that your confidence is not diminished, and that you will exhibit your sense of fair play and justice by returning me to the office I so highly covet.—( Cries of aWe will," and cheering.) • I would not have addressed you at all but for certain slanderous reports that have been circulated in the course of the morning that I am so embarrassed by . writs that no truil. 1 of any respectability can be reposed In me•—(Shame: and Great North. of France (Laffitte'e) Do. do.

We have some reason, therefore, to bless the Reformation, and we have no less reason to rejoice that the spirit whii.:ll led to it has again manifested itself in that part of Ger many to which England is under so many obligations. Joint lloticE, the new apostle of ecclesiastical reform, is a native of Silesia, which borders on Saxony, the cradle of the Reformation. He was educated in the Catholic Church, and performed for some years the duties of curate, but ever with the greatest reluctance, from a firm conviction that the sole object of the Roman hierarchy is to enslave the human mind. "I must only worship and honour Gon," says he, "as the POPE directs ; and no other mode of serving GOD is per mitted but that which the infallible Church of Rome dictates. As Roman priest, I have neither liberty of thought nor of conscience. To this must be added itn plicit obedience to my superior, from whom there lies no appeal. The Roman priest is never looked up to as a free agent ; he is a mere instrument to diffuse the mist of superstition." We fear that there is too much truth in the statement, and that these remarks apply to more churches than one. Ignorance and superstition furnish to the priests the lever by which they raise themselves to the rank of gods, and while profess ing to be the followers, the lineal descendants of the poor and humble Apostles, they are unlike them lin every respect. Never was there such an insult to the 1 human understanding as the assumption that the Pope of ROME and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY are the representatives of PETER and PAUL. But in the dark ages this was the prevailing doctrine and implicitly be lieved by the ignorant multitude, including kings as ' well as nobles. In this country, where general know ledge has made some useful progress, the pretension is never advanced without universal ridicule, but in Ca tholic countries this remnant of th• dark ages still exists. In Italy the POPE, at best a poor frail, erring creature like the rest of mankind, is adored as the representative of ST. PETER, the multitude fall down before him as they would before a divine being ; in Spain his power is equally paramount—that country cannot be settled without his will and his interests are consulted ; and even in enlightened Germany, where Popery still pre vails, this foreign incubus embitters domestic life, and not unfrequently excites the people to rise in open rebellion against the State. Nced we wonder then that this young man RONGE, for he is only about 30 years of age, has roused the people to a sense of their degradation by exposing the secrets of the prison house ? " I abjure," he says, " the tyrannical power of the Roman hierarchy, since it has introduced corruptions and framed enact ments calculated to undermine the spiritual and temporal welfare of the community, and further merely the power and riches of a privileged order of priesthood, at the head of which is the Bishop of ROME." For these and other plain truths he was prosecuted in the superior spiritual courts, denounced as a heretic, and among other charges were two which show the despotic and degrading spirit which, to its destruction, still animates the Church of Rome. The one was that he " were a sltdit coat and unbecoming long hair," and the other that he had written an article on the " holy coat of Treves," thereby tending to bring t is sacred relic and the Church with it into contempt. Re was consequently excommunicated. Our readers probably know that this " holy coat" has attracted a million of pilgrims, and that it has healed the sick and performed miracles, if credit is to be given to the priesthood; and that no trifling sum has been brought into the coffers of the Church through the delusions practised by Christian ministers on the ignorant and superstitious multitude. Such a contemptible scheme in these days savours more of madness than ecclesiastical policy ; and we, there fore, fondly hope that it is a proof that the whole fabric is tottering to its fall, and that the day is approaching when the superstitions of Rome, which our Puseyites so zealously revere, will be numbered with the things that were. We give, as a curiosity, the sentence of excommunication pronounced on this heretic by his bishop " In consequence of your answer of the 30th of last month received on the Ist instant, in which you acknowledge your self to be the author of the article on the holy coat of Treves, which appeared without your signature in the Fatherland newspaper, and will not recant, in accordance with my de cree of the 29th of October last, and in conformity and by virtue of the canon law and its provisions, I fun painfully compelled to visit with degradation and excommunication the author of the alleged ecclesiastical offences contained in the said articles. I further require you without delay to deliver up your letters of orders. As you have refused to appear according to summons, and thereby deprived me of the much-desired opportunity of bestowing my fatherly and affectionate advice, in the hope of removing your erroneous and anti church views in general, and such especially as re late to the worship of relics and the holy coat, to the painful sentence I have been compelled to pass, it remains only for me to join my fervent prayer that God's grace may guide you to a right understanding of the Catholic faith, and lead you to distinguish between a true and false veneration for relics ; to the latter of which alone you appear to have con fined your attention." The accounts of the probable product of the harvest becomes, as every day unfolds its probabilities, more and more unsatisfactory. The quantity, except only as to a few favoured districts, is reported from Mark-lane as much below the ordinary average. The quality is still more generally deteriorated. The want of sunny weather, it is said, has left the grain so soft that it was difficult to thresh, and is now found to yield a flour neither in bulk nor character of an average sort. Of the unusually large proportion which is still uncarHed, and even uncut, so much has been laid by heavy rains and boisterous winds, that it is deemed scarcely worth while to leave a margin for this proportion of the crops in calculating the aggregate yield of the season. The infusion of a large supply of stored wheats, both foreign and home grown, into the market has, for the present, somewhat checked the tendency to advance in the price of bread paid by the consumer in the metropolis and the southern coun ties. But the general conviction has already operated to bring in large supplies of foreign corn, by way of sup plementing a scarcity which can hardly be spoken of any longer as " anticipated" only, but of which the de velopment is already commenced. With painful soli citude we are compelled to ask—supposing these fears to be verified, according to the impressions of the framers of the Mark-lane Circular, by the concurring effect of the returns hitherto sent in with those which have yet to be made—that is to say, by the same de plorable report of a defective aggregate—what mast be the consequences to this country ? That influence which we have so repeatedly deprecated, as the inevitable legacy bequeaths d to the empire by the Parliaments which passed Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Monetary Bills, is already active, and its presence is attested by indications that admit of no mistake. The efflux of gold, ocossioned by importations of foreign corn, which payment is no longer taken for in British manufactures, has begun. What is to stop this ebbing tide ? The law of reaction is infinitely weaker and more un certain in the relations of money and corn, so far as supply and demand are concerned, than in any other branch of trade or commerce. It does not at all follow— (but the fatal crotchet of the bullionists is to assume always this proposition)—that, so soon as the deficiency of the supply of grain is adjusted, the gold will flow back into the coffers of the Bank. On the contrary, the per versity of oar monetary legislation in 1819, in 1826, and again, in 1828, for which Sir R. PEEL, the present Earl of RIPON, and the Duke of WELLINGTON will long be held severally responsible to the country, has entailed upon the nation a perpetual and fatal drain on the metallic currency they dreamed that they were establishing ; and an incurable disorganisation of the general circulating medium of the country, with which, in an evil hour, they betook themselves to tam pering. In 1843-44 Sir ROBERT having, as BURNS has sung, " tried his 'prentice hand" on the banking system, achieved his master effort by the "complement" Bill of 1845 for mutilating and hampering all the banks of issue, and mystifying the Bank of England by taking its construction to pieces, and recomposing it after the motley fashion of its present restricted " double action." This last very whimsical contrivanc e , on its first exposi tion to Parliament, disturbed the gravity of every man who had a practical acquaintance with the Money Market, and the functio ns t o be performed, by what we shall call (to distinguish it from the incalcu lable mass of property in the three kingdoms which it leaves without any power, even, of commutation into money) the representative capital of the empire. By those who comprehended the theory of money, and had reduced its principles to the strictness of definition, the plan was viewed with profound asto n i s h ment an d a l arm . The reckless Premier attempted to be jocular on the remonstrances urged by the ArrwooDs, the CAYLEYS, the SPOONERS, the TAYLORS, and other authorities on the important question of currency and bank ing. He turned a deaf ear to the doubts of Lord ASHBURTON, and attempted to brow beat Mr. NEWDEGATE out of his incipient con victions that there was considerably less than " absolute wisdom" in the project whicb,with his usual dexterity at appropriating the suggestions of other men's minds, ho had elaborated from the doctrines of HoaxEn, Husxts• sox, Lord LIVERPOOL, &C,, and jumbled together in his pet invention for " checking excessive speculation," and maintainingthe "banking system on a sound and respon sible footing." The Banker's gar Fine and Mr. BUR,. GEss have long since disposed of the mistakes and failures involved in the latter. The railway scrip mar ket, the frenzy of share-gambling, the brawling of Ca pel-court extra fores, the daily appeals to magisterial interference and protection to put down acts of violence and outrage committed in the public streets, under the fierce excitement of this excessive speculation, which has st arted np as if with the express purpose of holding up to ridicule the predictions of the Premier, have furnished a memorable and instructive commentary on the latter. A Mr. WETENRALL spits at and cuffs a stock shire-broker in a crowded throughfare of the City at noon day; and a Mr. BLoxosi declaims, with a little of PEEL'S own elixir in his hand(a purse of gold sovereigns), on the value of railway shares and schemes in terms of such yituperative'and scandalous force, that a policeman's sense of propriety and decency is absolutely scandalised by them. From symptoms like these one might inkr that the currency opinions and speculative preventa tives of Sir ROBERT were not so absolutely infal lible as he clearly supposed them to be when he uttered his philippics against the "Gemini" and the Birmingham school ; or when, more recently, he undertook to " snub" Mr. NEWDEGATE. But here is a practical fact—a "golden" token of his own Mint—an axiom of his own doctrine, his own proclamation— which, week after week, is bringing out the fearful de monstration that " the Currency Reform, commenced in 1819, and which received its complement in 1845," is— as we have never ceased to declare it would prove to be —a destructive delusion. All the efforts of the Bank parlour cannot run up the " score" of the " store" of gold bullion. Week by week it has a tendency to become " small by degrees and beautifully less." At Paris, at Hamburgh, at Bremen, it is reported, every seventh day, higher than in London. The London Gazatc, every seventh day, reports the " gold coin and bullion" in the " Issuo Department" in declining quantity. On Friday, the 26th, we find it stated at no more than 12,863,507/. The maximum, in the short interval which has elapsed since the publication of these weekly accounts, was upwards of 16,000,0001. Three millions, only, of quarters of foreign corn imported will about replace the twelve which heads these millions by the eight that heads these thousands. We hope and trust the course of these returns is being narrowly watched by those who sit in Parliament. Those who do not must ere now have begun to prepare for the coming storm which will follow on a greater run down of this golden clockwork, which it is clear the Premier's sagacity cannot keep in due time or working. The Paris papers continue their discussions on the late elections, these of the Opposition endeavouring to show that the Government have no great cause for exul tation, while the others seem quite content with the victory ; but these party contests have little interest here. The Moniteur publishes two reports, which extend to great length, relative to the affair of Madagascar. M. DESPOSSES, the commandant of the naval station of Bourbon, who sends these reports, states that the arrange ments for the attack had been combined with the captain of the Conway, who was in the same position as himself, there being the same number of British as French sub jects exposed to the tyranny of the Queen of MADA GASCAB. It appears, as already stated, that every effort was made to bring the QUEEN'S agents to reason before the attack, but that all the representations of the English and French officers were treated with contempt and insolence. In concluding his second report, M. DESFOSBES says:—" I have just exchanged the salutes of adieu with the English frigate the Conway, at the moment of separation, as, during their junction, the officers, sailors, and soldiers of the two nationa have not ceased to testify, in the warmest manner, the high esteem and cordial sympathy that they entertain for each other. Some of the Opposition journals make severe:comments on the dispatches, and express no little indignation:at the entente cordiale between the two forces. .Louis PnimPrE continues to display great activity at Eu. On Thurs day, the weather being very fine, his MAJESTY went on board the Caiman steamer, in the roadstead of Triport, for the purpose of distributing the decorations of the Legion of Honour, which his MAJESTY has been pleased to confer on twelve officers, ncn-commissioned officers, and seamen of the squadron assembled at Treport, on the occasion of his residence at Eu. The KING entered his carriage at about eleven o'clock, with the Count DE PARIS, and the Dukes DE NEMOURS and D'AUMALE. His MAJESTY and their Royal Highnesses were accom panied by the Ministers of Marine, Commerce, and Jus tice, Generals ATHALIN, D'HOUDETOT, GOURGAUD, and MARBOT, Colonel Durcts, and other persons of the household. At noon the royal flag was flying at the masthead of the Caiman. His MAJESTY, after passing through Treport amidst the acclamations of the people, embarked in the royal barge, whilst salutes were being fired from the vessels and the shore. The KING, who was received with enthusiasm en board the Caiman, placed him self in front of the officers and crew on the deck, where the officers and seamen of the other vessels who were to be decorated had also assembled. The' Mi nister of Marine, after taking the orders of the KING, called over the names of the new ligionnaire2, and they came forward successively to receive the cross of honour at the hands of his MAJESTY, and to take the oath, which was read over by the Minister. The ceremony having terminated, the KING went over the Caiman, and expressed his approbation at the good order of the vessel and crew. He then entered the royal barge, and returned to land amidst repented cries of Vice lel-lei! His MAJESTY returned to the Chateau of Eu at one. - - --- The following are miscellaneous extfaets " M. Guizot is still at Beausejour, where he will, it s said, remain till October 2, when he takes up his residence at Paris. Marshal Soult is expected to leave Soultberg on the 15th of next month, and to arrive in Paris on the 21st. "Count de Rambuteau, the Prefect of the Seine, who had returned to Paris, after a month's absence at his family seat of Rambuteau, set out for London on Saturday morning in order to visit the public markets of that city and the prin cipal towns of England, and be better able to decide on the question of the new balks which are about to be erected in Paris. " Thirty-five companies had been formed to bid for the concession of the five new lines, namely, eight for the Paris and Strasburg road, six for the Tours and Nantes, five fur the Creil and St. Quentin, eleven for the Paris and Lyons, and six for the Lyons and Avignon. • " Louis Philippe and his family were expected to remove from Eu to St. Cloud on Friday next; and a grand fete is to be given at Versailles, on the following Monday, in celebra tion of the King's birth-day.

The religious movement which is now exciting rich deep interest in Germany cannot fail, when understood, to produce a great effect in this country. The contest between Catholicism and Protestantism has been carried on here for more than three hundred years ; it has pro duced great political revolutions ; cost one Sovereign his head, and ultimately destroyed his dynasty ; it has kept up a never•-ceasing war between Great Britain and Ireland, led to the enactment of pains and penalties against a particular race for their principles of belief, and caused scenes of bloodshed and domestic murders, which cast a great stain on Christianity. Even at the present day, in the nineteenth century, these wounds are not healed—religion is still the great source of all the na tional prejudices and antipathies which are mutually en tertained by the two countries, and anything like a peaceable settlement of this question seems as distant as ever. It is needless to say to which side we incline. The Reformation has been of incalculable benefit to these realms ; in fact, neither prosperity, nor independ ence, nor the greatest blessing which can fall to the lot of humanity—liberty—was known till that divine light which first appeared in Saxony spread its benign intiu enceson England and Scotland. What has taken place since every child acquainted with British history can tell. The exercise of private judgment broke the chains of ecclesiastical tyranny, the mind became free, and exerted itself in all those great undertakings which have ever distinguished a free people. Colonies were formed, good laws were established in them, as well as in the mother country, and from the time that the power of Rome and the STUART dynasty were expelled from our shores, this country has taken the lead in progressive
