Jones Loyd and Ce. In Liverpool—Messrs. Moss and Co. The objects of the proposed Company are to provide towns with water on improved principles of supply; to effect their drainage and cleansing completely and systematically; to apply their refuse to agricultural purposes ; and to carry out any similar or collateral works that require the union of science and capital for the sanitary improvement of towns, either in the British empire or in foreign countries, where security can be given for the capital invested. The Commissioners' Reports of the results of the recent inquiries into the circumstances affecting the health of towns, have shown, that in only six out of fifty of the towns to which their inquiries were directed, " could the arrangements and supplies of water be deemed in any comprehensive sense good, whilst in thirteen they are indifferent, and in thirty.two they appear so deficient as to be pronounced bad, and so far as yet examined, frequently inferior in purity ;" that of the same fifty towns " in scarcely one can the drainage or the sewerage be pro. nounced to be complete or good, whilst in seven it is indifferent, and in forty-two decidedly bad, as regard the districts inhabited by the labouring classes." These official reports also show that this state of things had generally arisen from want of science in the plans, deficient practical skill, insufficient capital, the separation of works which ought to be combined in one system, and the ab sence of adequate motives to due economy in their execution and • maintenance. In a large proportion of cases, measures of improve ment are frustrated by the incompleteness of the areas for proper drainage and the other works, by local party spirit, and by the want of the information requisite for the direction of improvements. With a view to economy and efficiency, the Commissioners have recommended as essential, that the whole of the works for the supply of water—the house and branch and main drains, and the sewers—should be combined under one management. The evidence which exposes the general inefficiency of these works, whether undertaken bp elected or nor :elected bodies, who have only a slight personal interest, in constantly comparing pecuniary I.esults with the ex penditure, also shows that the expense of their management is rarely less than twenty per cent. per annum on extraordinary outlays. The Commissioners deem it impracticable to ensure from any such bodies " the same constant attention to economy in the expenditure of other people's money that contractors would give in the expenditure and management of their own." They, there fere, recommend as an important and main security to the public, that all such works should be maintained as well as executed upon contract; and they add, " Many of such works are, however, too large for single contractors, and it appears to be desirable to give facilities for the execution and maintenance of such works by public companies, as lessees or contractors for terms of yews, with liberty of redemption on terms previously settled." They recommend, 'as advantageous to the consumers, that for the con. tractors' labour and risk, fairly remunerative net returns, beyond the common rate of interest on the capital invested, should be guaranteed to them. The same official researches into the means of improving the sanitary! condition of towns have brought to light important in. stances of improved works which have long been in successful operation, with good returns to the capitalist, and reduced charges, as well as increased conveniences and comforts to the consumers. It is proposed that the Company, acting in unison with the local authorities, shall extend the application of such improvements to districts already more or less supplied, as well as to districts in which there is no regular supply, either by purchasing and com pleting existing but imperfect - works, where they may be obtained en equitable terms, or by carrying out entirely new works, accord ing to the suggestions of the Commissioners of Inquiry. - With the aid of a staff of engineers of extensive and varied practice, and distinguished by their having effected successful improvements, the Company may undertake works with perfect confidence that they will secure to the consumer an efficiency and economy which can not be obtained through the medium of persons whose experience is limited to their own districts, or who are habituated to imperfect works, and modes of management which the public wants require to be amended or superseded. The system proposed for adoption to meet the most pressing pub lic want, that of improvement in the supply of water, is a system which has long been in successful use in several towns, namely, that of a constant supply of filtered water at high pressure, as con tradistinguished from the common mode of an intermittent supply, which renders necessary an expensive apparatus of butts and tanks, in which water stagnates, until it is wanted, and in which, how ever pure at its source, it becomes vapid and polluted, by the ab sorption of the soot and dust failing in crowded districts; while if the water be impure, and, as is usually the case, unfiltered, the generation of animalcula and the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter, are constantly taking place to an extent most injurious to health and comfort. The constant supply also affords new and important conveniences for baths, for washing, and other domestic purposes. In those towns where it has been introduced, it has, as shown in the Commissioners' report, occasioned a reduction of one-half of the previous average losses by fire, and made a correspanding addition to the security of life as well as property, The constant supply at high pressure also fur. nishes efficient means for the removal of refuse from houses, and for the cleansing of drains, streets, and sewers, such as no other system affords. The Nottingham scale of charges, which from the improvements in machinery, and the reduced cost of pumping by the steam-engine, has proved to be remunerative to the capitalists, will be adopted with tilde variation, according to the prices of materials and fuel, and the securities given. On this scale, which is less than one-third of the common rate charged for intermittent supplies of unfiltered water by the greater number of the water companies In the metropolis, the improved supply will be provided at a rate of three-farthings per ton, threepence per 1,000 gallons, or at a rental of about twopence weekly for the domestic use of all the houses in a town,—a constant supply being carried into the poorer class of tenements at a pressure of above 100 feet, so as to deliver forty gallons of filtered water per diem to the highest attic, at a rate of one penny per week. The cost of this supply is less than the usual expense of . the wear and tear of common pumps. To the large consumers the Company may, from the reduced ex pense of steam-power, supply water at a lower cost than the usual wages for hand -labour in pumping, even where the water, the well, and the pump may be had gratis, The commercial prin ciple proposed for adoption, as advantageous to the shareholders, is that of low rates for abundant supplies to the whole population, in stead of high charges for restricted supplies to the higher and mid dle classes of the community, according to the common practice. The system of constant supply reduces the landlords' and te nants' charges for distributing apparatus within the houseto at least one-third of the amount requisite for an intermittent supply. It is proposed that the Company shall render unnecessary any immediate outlay for such apparatus, or for waste and return pipes within the house, by undertaking to lay them down and maintain them, with securely.trapped drains, for an addition to the annual water rent. The Company will undertake to construct and maintain the main sewers. They will also undertake to apply, or prepare for sale and use as manure, the refuse of towns which is now mischievously wasted in the pollution of the waters of the natural streams ; they will thus complete under one management, wherever practicable, the set of works which the Commissioners recommend should be combined, and which are both ineffectual and additionally expensive when conducted independently of each other. It is sufficient merely to advert to the advantages of the proposed improvements to the health, comfort, and morality of the popula tion, as cogent motives to hearty co-operation, while the pecuniary interests of the consumer are also duly consulted. It is, however, P strictly on the basis of profitable returns that the Company i s to whole founded, as it is only on that basis that those advantage s ma y b e ex eetede ofto ire rapidly, necitoyt:oemritchaelltyt,haeneedpcoiter canle betely r ea lisedj us t l yexpect ed to be raised, and science applied to the works in question ; all of which, it is no w proved, must, when completely carried out, effect large reductions of various existing money charges, to landlords as well as to even the lowest class of tenants. Whilst the formation of this Company has been under consider ation communications have been made to its promoters with re. lation to five populous towns in England, four of which are now entirely dependent for l• supp les of water upon wells , which from the increase of population are rapidly becomi n g more and more polluted. Each of these to wns is badly drained, adly drained, and it has been suggested that they would aflbrd eligible ap plication of science and capit a l to opportunities ttlie for the carr required improve ments. Three of these towns have y ou already been surveyed , for the purpose of obtaining better supplies of water; and it appears from estimates which admit of but littlevariati o n as to the expense of the works required, a good return on the cap ital invested may in each instance be promised on the completion of the water. works alone. The general state of the two other towns from which communications have been received, in one of whi • ch the ex isting works for water supply and drainage are required to be extended and combined, is sufficiently well known to warrant the expectation of certain and profitable returns on the capital ex. pended. There is reason to believe that a considerable portion of the re. capital w ould be subscribed within each of these quisite towns by influential inhabitants—an arrangement which it is proposed in general to adopt as a principle of action of the Company, with the view of obtaining local superintendence in order to prevent any grounds of dissatisfaction amongst the consumers, as well as to provide collateral security to the shareholders for the efficient exe cution and maintenance of the works. The general capital of the Company will be increased in propor tion to the eligible applications to it for assistance. It has been estimated that for the works for the supply of water drainage and application of the refuse of the towns already surveyed and under consideration, an immcdiate active capital of half a million would suffice, power being given to raise more money from time to time as the original capital is permanently invested. The capital will be raised In shares of 501. each, and called for only as actual operations require. Where works of town drainage have been executed and main tained by a public Company the return of profit has been satis factory to the shareholders, even though such works have pro. ceeded on old and imperfect plans. The returns from the sale and application of the refuse of towns to agricultural purposes have hitherto been very profitable, and under the improved manage ment, and the present state of agricultural enterprise, may be expected to be highly remunerative. Under these circumstances the shareholders may expect returns, when publicly guaranteed, of six per cent., or when made in the ordinary terms, and com. bining water-works with drainage and the sale of refuse, a much higher rate of profit.

SECRETARY—Harry Burrard Fernsll, Esq. The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic an area of 10 acres of ground (the noT r t o h e o f f " L t e t n hi d s o n il southern boundary of which is within 500 y a rds of th e Bank of portant object, England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as ; o have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved bj them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in ghoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail • ways, which reach London lathe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci•ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the :greatest a ccomm odation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un aiscommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— Per A.nit Passengers from the, Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at 6d. each.. •••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • . £42,523 Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each • • • • • • • • • • • • • • . ......

The Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair, vicar, having taken the chair ? , and the notice calling the meeting having been read, the accounts were then passed, without a dissen tient voice. 116:r.. Bellworthy then said it was his duty, as churchwarden, to ask the vestry to grant a church-rate for the current year, of one penny in the pound on the rental of the parish, amo w.rting to 10,051/. It was a very unusual circumstance in% that parish to have only .a penny church rate, but he wat-r happy to sa y it was sufficient. Jr. Ches terton seconded -the motion for a penny rate. After some discussion, the chairman said the only motion before the meeting was a rate of one penny, which was carried by an immense major ity, the only dissentient hand held up being that of Mr. Sulib an. Thanks were then voted to the vene rable chairman, a nd the meeting broke IT.

Let us but have peace for some years longer, and a. reduction of war esta blishments, and the nations of Et m Jpe will be as little dis united socially as were the shires s nd counties of England, not to speak of Scotland, a century or two ago. Rudely and defectively as this work may have been done, if it had not been =vat by capitalists, and ,n commercial principles, there was little chance of its being done in our time in any other way. There are, however, :u nongst those who have considered the subject comprehensi o ely but few dissentients from the opinion, after the comphe tion of the larger lines of communication, that by continu e.l and immense applica tion of capital in that one direction,. without waiting for the results of important experiments, and more matured expe rience, the work will certainly be overdone, and enor mous waste and loss occasioned. This work of bringing towns new el to each other is, whilst they are in their present condition,. too frequently bringing seats of pestilence nearer to each otb er ; it is too frequently further overcrowding the already •nvercrowded. We have no doubt that the railways will be e. most important means of relieving this evil, especially when the fares have been re duced ; but they have not yet been :so. In the instance of the formation of the Blackwell RA ilway it was distinctly proved, that in cutting down a mass: of habitations of the la bouring classes, no new ones having. been provided, the dis lodged occupants were driven into the over-crowded rooms in the same neighbourhood. Besidiefi the influx of visitors and of traffic, often at a greater rate' than there is accommo dation for, one part of the present rt tilway rush is to carry their termini into the centres of crow rd .ed towns, to mow down whole lines of habitations, apparent'l3 • with the same result as that proved to have followed the formation of the Black well Railway. Under these circumstances of intuit , diate dread for the ca pital itself, as well as for the popugla tion, whatever may be the strength of hope, of " things shaking right," most per sons who review the present tendency of capital will be dis posed to hail with us the appearance in the money market of an enlarged scheme for the application .of capital on commercial principles to the relief of towns thet tutelves, by the improve ment of their sanitary condition. \V e refer unhesitatingly to the announcement contained in ou r advertising columns, and the prospectus, at the head of wii ich appear such names as those of the first chairman of e Liverpool and Man chester and Grand Junction Railw a:, Company, the first chairman of the London and Birir tit wham Railway Come pany, the first chairman of the Sou ti tampton Railway, and that of one of the leading promoters• of the Great Western Railway, and the present chairman: of the Brighton Rail way, who, with such men as Mr. JA b 1 Es MORRISON, Mr. T. BARING, Mr. SAMUEL JONES LOYD, me promoters of a project "to provide towns with water on itnproved principles of supply; to effect their drainage and cleansing completely and systematically; to apply their :refuse to agricultural purposes; and to carry out any similar or collateral works that require the union of science and capital for the sanitary improvement of towns." As the chairman of this enterprrse we find worthily placed the accomplished nobleman, 1.4,rd FRANCIS EGERTON, whose ancestors took.the lead in The fir st great improvement, by inland navigation. We stay,: hrowever, to notice one name amongst the promoters of t.l is work, that of Mr. JOHN CROSTHWAITE, of Liverpool, 'w ho is alluded to with another merchant in an article, " rfalk on the Exchange,' in the Liverpool Journal of Saturday. " The talk during the last twodays is, that the moralists must amend their theories; for the means of luxury pro duces temperance and ardour after riches a noble disre gard of money ; that this has be , ei i made manifest by two Liverpool merchants, and that the history of chivalry and "The the instances annals of alluded aristocracy to a r e cannot tho spe of a . m l I e r l .een t re h te e chrd i ooe r sitylit e snh x ee: vcc a eua m ureitlnt p ater l t e aeh . nnaogd: b M o one of hisoj f a tnlleosseß purse—alonenn e tl k e e m r gentlemen sPeop le d a i i t n — e w d: n a l e e d l :r his liberality, he unexpectedly found hdi nself the richer to an extent of 70,00 W., he, rather than hi s motives should be questioned, threw up his shares, and al though the sacrifice was not to the full extent accepted, he n obly consented to the loss of 20,0001., every farthing of will. ch he could legally retain. The other instance was nos :less creditable. The chairman, though in all the secrets .of the Liverpool and Bury Railway—though he could have enriched himself be yond the dreams of avarice, refused to , _profit by his oppor tunity, and preserved his honour and! disinterestedness fer applause, not censure—holding no more , ;shares than qualified him for the office for which he has prove , I himself so worthy. The talk is that the 'Change can parody the Grecian mother, and say, Liverpool has many such men , and long may they continue her ornaments.' " These gentlemen state in their prospectus, that " It is sufficient merely to advertto tt , e advantages of the proposed improvements to the health, cc , mfort, and morality of the population, as cogent motives too hearty co-operation, while the pecuniary interests of the con sumer are also duly consulted. It is, h ow ever, strictly on Ow basis of profitable returns that the Company is founded, as it is only on that basis that those advantages may be exp ected to be rapidly, economically, and completely realised to the whole of the community, or that the capital can be in stly expected to be raised, and science applied to the works .in question ; all of which, it is now proved, must, when core pletely carried out, effect large reductions of various exisaug money charges, to landlords as well as to even the lowest class of tenants." They set forth that " The agnmercial principle proposed Xor adoption, as ad. vantageous to the shareholders, is that of low rates for abun dant supplies to the whole population, instead of high charge 3 for restricted supplies to the higher and middle classes of the community, according to the common practice." The adoption and enunciation of this principle for prac tical application by such names is in itself a large advance, They refer to the " official researches into the means of im proving the sanitary condition of towns, as having brought to light important instances of improved works which have long been in ,successful operation, with good returns to the capitalist, and reduced charges, a 3 well as increased conve niences and comiorts, to the consumers. It is proposed that the Company, acting in unison with the local authorities, shall extend the application of such improvements to dis tricts already more or less supplied, as well as to districts in which there is no regular supply, either by purchasing and completing existing but imperfect works, where they may be obtained on equitable terms, or by carrying out entirely new works, according to the suggestions of the Commissioners of Inquiry. With the aid of a staff of engineers of extensive and varied practice, and distinguished by their having effected successful improvements, the Company may undertake works with perfect confidence that they will secure to the consumer an efficiency and economy which cannot be obtained through the medium of persons whose experience is limited to their own districts, or who are habituated to imperfect works, and modes of management which the public wants require to be amended or superseded." One of these improvements they thus describe " The system proposed for adoption to meet the most public want— that of improvement in the supply of water—is a system which has long been in successful use in several towns, namely, that of a constant supply of filtered water at high pressure, as contradistinguished from the common mode of an intermittent supply, which renders necessary an expensive apparatus of butts and tanks, in which water stagnates, until it is wanted, and in which, however pure at its source, it becomes vapid and polluted, 17 the absorption of the soot and dust falling in crowded districts; while if the water be impure, and, as is usually the, unfiltered, the generation of animaculse and the decom position of animal and vegetable matter, are constantly taking place to an extent most injurious to health and comfort. The constant supply also affords new and important con veniences for baths, for washing, and other domestic pur poses. In those towns where it has been introduced, it has, as shown in the Commissioners' report, occasioned a reduction of one-half of the previous average loss es by fire, and made a corresponding addition to the security of life as well as property. The constant supply at high p ressure also furnishes efficient means for the removal of refuse from houses, and for the cleansing of drains, streets, and sewers, such as no other system affords. The Nottingham seal e f charges, which from the improvements in machinery, and the reduced cost of pumping by the steam-engine, has proved to be remune rative to the capitalists, will be adopted with little variation, according to the prices of materials and. fuel, and the secu rities given. On this scale, which is less than one-third of the common rate charged for intermittent supplies of unfil. tered water by the greater number of the water. companies in the metropolis, the improved supply will be provided at the rate of three-farthings per ton, threepence per 1,000 gallons, or at a rental of about twopence weekly for the domestic use of all the houses in a town,—a constant supply being car ried into the poorer class of tenements at a pressure of above 100 feet, so as to deliver forty gallons of filtered water per diem to the highest attie, at a rate of one penny per week. The cost of this supply is less than the usual expense of the wear and tear of common pumps. To the large consumers the Com pany may, from the reduced expense of steam-power, supply water at a lower cost than the usual wages for hand-labour in pumping, even where the water, the and the pump may be had gratis." - - On!reading this, the inhabitants of the metropolis may well be disposed to ask for the intervention of the Company, or to know why, when the expense of materials and steam power have been reduced, they are to be. breed to pay three times the proper charge for bad supplies of bad water? With these exorbitant rates, are they to continue to drink stagnant water because the companies refuse to be at the expense of proper reservoirs to contain abundant supplies? Is the habit of using water as a beverage to be prevented because the companies refuse to be at the expense of filter beds? Are fires, and losses of life, and the devastation of property to go on because the companies refuse to be at tt to expense of pro per elevation? Or are the public, nowi el iarged with three times the amount for which better supprie s may be had, to pay for • the requisite additions to ignorantly constructed works, and to pay, moreover, for the maintenance of a number of separate and clashing establishments and their heavily paid officers, when one or two establish intuits would do the work much better?? The metropolis will. shortly have before it the means of testing the value of its ropi esentatives. The Company before us say, thatthe cost of the management by public municipal authorities has rare ly been less than twenty per cent. on the outlay. This twenty per cent. they propose to save, and divide the profits with the capitalist and the consumer, provided the capitalist will carry supplies of forty gallons of filtered water per , die m fur a penny a week ;—then we say .the more profit he makes out of that penny the, better for the labouring class es, for then the work will be the more rapidly done; and so a 63 if the capitalist will drain and cleanse the lowest habitati ou s at the like rates. For the accomplishment of these works rapidly and com pletely, they will deserve the reward of - whatsoever profits they may eventually obtain, after fluslsie g sewers and re moving all decomposing refuse from the sites of towns, for the application of such refuse to agricul tur al production. Those who read the prospectus itself zv ill join with us in hailing the announcement' as a great advance in commercial and social polity, when practically exec uti " We have much pain," says the Dior nit iy Poe, "in stating on authority, which we believe to be entirely trustworthy, that on Thursday last Mr. NEWMAN, ar td several other mem bers of the University of Oxford, were ibri nallyoreceived into the Church of Rome. In every point ot`v iew this movement must be the subject of deep regret; but es pecially it is to be lamented when the position and pros per Its of the Anglican Church are carefully considered. Mr is is not a time when we can afford to lose the ;pi ety, the learning, and the zeal by which Mr. NEwa lAN has been so eminently distinguished." We are utterly at a loss to understand the cause of this lame mtation, or to divine in what way the piety, the learning, as t d the zeal of Mr. NEWMAN could improve the position mad prospects of the Anglican Church. The schism which wails is entirely the work of the Tractarians, of whom Pu:in c and NEWMAN are the leaders; it is a schism dangerc ars in its character, and disgraceful its its operation to member a of the Established Church, and every real friend of that Cl it irch, as well as every good Roman Catholic, loudly and justly condemns men who receive the pay of one establishme at, and profess the doctrines of another, and who, li: to traitors, remain in the camp only as loiig as they ca n be of service in betraying it to the enemy. Had Mr. N 7a .w3IAN been less in fluenced by Jesuitical doctrines, bad bto not learned from certain Fathers whom he worships, tl II it casuistry which, for a particular purpose confounds tr ut h with error, and right with wrong, he would ha ve acted like an honest man, and left a Protestan t University and a Protestant Church on the day he adop tt d Catholic tenets. The objects of the Puseyites are to destroy the bles sings of the Reformation, and recon Cit a the Church of England to the Court of Rome. Writers wl to can mourn over the defeat of such atrocious projects may find sympathy among bigots that would have done err ;di it to the dark ages, but they are utterly unfit for the presen t t ime, and are justly reprobated at by every friend of truth, every sincere Pro testant, and every enemy of slavery and si iperstition. The intelligence from Madrid, which it ; to the sth instant, is satisfactory. The capital and the cot ant ,ry generally appear to be in a state of perfect tranquillity, the credit of the State is improving, and the new tax is much 13‘ 3tter paid than was anticipated. In fact, the new finance in ea sures of Senor MoN, notwithstanding the despotic rule of N. %.1 :VAX.; will in time work wonders in that bankrupt country.. If he can compel those able to pay to contribute their just. share to the neces sities of the State, and establish anythi ; like economy in the government and expenditure, t ;re may yet be hopes of redemption. He has succe e ded so far. His credit has risen with the bank c f San Fernando, merely because the bank finds that Ihe is a man of his word. He had paid, according to the G government papers, into the bank, 135,000,000 reels, being 1 5,1000,000 more than were stipulated for in the contract, an d has thereby been enabled to make better conditions for tau: future. By this punctuality the Government has saved, dt tring the present half-year, at least 10,000,000 reels (100,C 10( IL). He is at the same time actively engaged in preparing the budget, as well as a new tariff law, for the consideration, , of the approaching Cortes. The brokers still persist in re fusing to transact business on the Bourse, and we consequet it ly have no official quotations. The Paris papers possess considerable i rite 'rest, not from any important news, or fresh intelligence eit lie r from Algeria or Italy, but from the excitement caused Iby the late disasters which have befallen the French, and t lie misunderstanding which prevails between the Governmei It and Marshal Btr- GEAUD. The latter fact is evident from a; letter addressed by him to the Prefect ofDordogne, and publif ed in the Conserva tear de la Dordogne, on the 6th inst. The: authenticity of this epistle was at first doubted by most of th to Paris journalists, but is now fully admitted. Indeed, there -could be no mistake about it, for it displays the character or the Marshal in its real feature—a great deal of blustering,, no little abuse of the Government and the gallant men w' ao m he had left in Africa, and that obstinacy in his own of in ions, and indepen dence both of the Minister of War, and tl le whole Cabinet, which the new Duke delights in proclain u rig to his country men. If the Government allow such a a insult to pass with impunity, and continue to furnish suppli e a to the unsatiable wants of this braggadocio, he will soon be: their master. The letter, a real curiosity in its way, is as fah : " Excid et il, Oct. 6, 1845. " Mon cher Prefet,—Chef d'Escadron Rivet has brought most disastrous news from Algiers. The at my and the people are loudly calling out for my return. I 1 t:ve too much right to complain of having been abandoned y the Government to my enemies in the press and elsewher e , not to have been comWetely determined not to return to ) Lilgiers without the commission I have demanded, and assui a noes that some of my fundamental ideas should be complic . with; but late events are tgo grave for me to make any t n. rms for my return to the field of danger. I have therefore (It ided upon taking my departure the day after to-morrow. I v ;ill devote to you half an hour to give you the bulk of the 11 ews. One word, however, in the meantime. Abd-el-Ka< let • has entered the west of the province of Oran. The garrison a. f Djena has been almost totally destroyed. We have lost t Icre a lieutenant colonel, a chef d'escadron, a chief de batall limn, all the officers of the column, and about 400 soldiers. G etteral Cavaignac, informed of the approach of Abd-el-Kader, :and the revolt of the tribes on the left bank of the Tafna, we mt out and fought two great battles, of the results of which vt - e are ignorant. All we know for certain is, that he has rot. urn to Tlemcen. This great success of Abd-el-Kader must hav e set the whole of the province into a ferment. On our t‘,.;ide great faults have been committted ; symptomti of revolt:l have been shown at other points ; and General Bout olly was 1 little in condition to reduce the insurrection on the Mina. It. ;must have gained w ar some ground, and theme is much to fear t hat a great -d; is about to be recommenced.

Such a bree; of discipline, such a wanton attack upon GUIZOT, and Set 3:. and LAMORICIERE, as well as the KING him self, ought to l' It punished by immediate dismissal from t he service. iff would appear, however, that the Government cannot ser e f up their courage to that point, and therefmo the org ans :, the old dynasty rejoice.
