This proposed railway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed Grasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundce lines; and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc tion from Edinburgn and Perth, and its proposed extension to the Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk, also the Forfar and Arbroath Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a continu ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication from England through Scotland. This line will be abent fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district connected with the line, is about 100,000. Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping capabilities, is the proper land convenient port for exporting the pro duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between Dundee and 'Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great measure performed by horse carriage, au expensive and tedious pro cess ; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and cheap communication, and will unquestionably benefit the trade and agricultup of the district. The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious transit to Dundee, both for the consumpt and exportation ; and the agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the direct cnication with the town and harbo ur o f D un d ee, and the rail; running south from the T a y. Th e ex t ensive pave ment ato quarries around Forfar and along the district will be greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee for exportation will thus be afforded. The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic, the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in submitting this undei taking to the public, not only as one necessarily , called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte rests of the district, and public conveniency, but more especially by its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow .lunation lines, through the counties of Fife and Ferfar, to Aberdeen and the north of Scotland As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect of being highly advantageous. The district has already been surveyed, and presents no difficulty to the formation of the railway ; and the proprietors and tenants along the line aro understood to be very favourable to the under taking. The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar. The Company will have also power by their notices to form the line by a junction with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at Broughty Ferry, it this can be considered consistent with the direct and unin terrupted main line of communication from Dundee to Forfar and the north of Scotland intended by this Company.

The Shareholders are hereby informed, that the Bill for the London and York Railway having, in the last session, passed the House of Commons, and having also passed the Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lords, will be resumed at that stage immediately on the meeting of Parliament, under the resolutions of both Houses giving this privilege to Railway Bills in the state of that of the London and York ; and that the notices to that effect, re quired by those resolutions to be given in certain, newspapers during this month of October and in November, are now in course of publication. Having now ascertained the extent of their liabilities consequent upon the very severe and protracted, though succeasful, contest of last session, the Directors have the satisfaction tO find that though the expenses have been unavoidably great, amp' funds remain from the original deposit of 21. 10s. per share to meet any possible cost in the ensuing session ; and as in the case ofth's London and York Bill, it is not requisite under the Standing Orts.ers, to increase .the deposit of Si. per cent. on the capital already paid, and which continues lodged with the Accountant-General of I'ne Court of Chancery, it will be un necessary to make any further, tall upon the Shareholders. The Bill for the Waketiela 'branch which, for want of time, was not heard last session, is to ly3 renewed ; and this branch is to be ex tended from Wakefield in 4 .o the town of Leeds. Additional extensions will also be proposed fre,n Stamford direct to Spalding ; from Hat field through St. Albie.fs to Luton and Dunstable; and to Hertford— alt which ar no corr.se of being surveyed preparatory to the usual eposits and icr,s required by Parliament. In conformity with the sessional orders under which Bills standing over from last r.ession maintain their position in the ensuing session, a new Subscription Contract will be prepared; and notice will shortly be given to the holders of the London and York and the Bawtry Branch scrip certificates of shares, to send the same in for registry ; and of the time at which the new deed will be lying for signature in London and at the principal country towns. The cost of the IVaketield and other Branch lines herein-men tioned is to be provided for by means of Forty Thousand (40,000) Scrip Extension Shard of the value of 251. each, with a deposit of 21. 10s. being ten (10) per cent. as required by Parliament, to be allotted to the Proprietors of the original or existing London and York and Bawtry Scrip Shares of 501. each in the proportion of one Extension Share of 251. for three of the Scrip Shares of 501.—and the Subscription Contrrhel for the Branch lines will be ready for signa ture at the same time as the New Deed for the London and York original line.

The Allotment of Shares in this Company is now completed, and the letters have been this day issued. The Shares applied for amount to upwards of one million four hundred thousand, while those to be alloted were one hundred and twenty thousand only. The applications by landowners and others locally interested, and Shareholders in the Great Western, and Bristol, and Exeter Rail ways, have so reduced the number for general distribution that the Committee have been compelled to make only small allotments in almost every instance, and in many to pass over applicants of the highest respectability and wealth. The Committee hope this ex planation will be accepted and be deemed satisfactory, as they have endeavoure',l to discharge a most difficult and arduous duty with fair ness and i• alpartiallty. The Cc munittee beg to add that all the necessary plans and docu ments v.lll be in readiness for the ensuing session of Parliament, and th , :y have also the pleasure of stating that since the last publi cation of the prospectus they have received the cordial and strenuous support of John Beathcoat, Esq., M.P. for Tiverton, and Lord Duntan, M.P. for Bath, both of whom have been added to the Com mittee of Management, and also of many other influential gentlemen 10etilly interested on the intended line. 20, Poultry, London, Oct. 31,1845. CHARING-CROSS-BRIDGE. (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the proprietors of the Charing-cross-bridge took place to day at the offices of the Company, street, for the purpose of considering the offer made to the Directors, by Mr. Fuller, of Parliament-street, for the pun chase of the right s an d p ro p e rties of the Company, an d f or authorising such further proceedings as might be deemed ex pedient. - Mr. W3l. HAWES, on taking the chair at one o'clock, called upon the secretary to read the advertisement calling the meeting, upon which Mr. Was. COPE, of 85, St. Martin's-lane, put in a protest against the sale, leasing, or disposing of the bridge, or the Directors doing any act that tended to cause the dissolu tion of the Company, or deteriorate the value of its property. lie was determined to keep the thirty-one shares of which he was possessed for a permanent investment. The protest having been read, The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the meeting, and after recounting the different proceedingsthat had occurred, and the interview that had taken place between himself, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Jackson, and his solicitor, st a t e d th a t th e d ra f ts of agree ment had been so altered by the solicitor of Mr. Jackson that it was considered necessary that a further adjournment should tflke place for a week, in order that com nannicee.on should be made upon the subject. The clauses to which the greatest objection was entertained were, oblig . .ng the Bridge Company to make the bridge a passage for ' - .ailway carriages, and also to pay interest upon the par ch Age-money till the contract was completed. Mr. FEW and Mr. DUNE, the solicitors of Mr. Jackson, addressed the meeting with respect to the first clause that was objected to. All that was intended by it was that thes Bridge Company shouh l afford them all the necessary facilities to enable them to go to Parliament next session for power to enable them to convert the bridge into one for rail way traffic. the CHAIRMAN said the Bridge Company were willing to do that, but they must object to the payment of interest for the purchase-money. Atter some further discussion ' the meeting was adj ourne d to Thursday n es t, th e 6th November, at half-past one o'clock. EWELL CATTLE FAIR, SURREY.-This autumn fair concluded on Wednesday.

The position and chttracter of Plymouth Har bour, and the immense traffic thence to the interior of the country, will render the construction of this line the most profitable invest ment by far in the West of England. The great local support it has received attests the accuracy of the opinion we feel bound to express upon this important undertaking. A T a numerous meeting of the members of the Common Council, present in the Council Chamber of the Guidhall, on Thursday, the 30th day of October, 1843, The Court having been broken up by reason of only one Alderman being present, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : "That theimembers of the Court of Common Council now present cannot separate without expressing their surprise and regret at the conduct of the Aldermen who ought to have attended the Court this day, and to have remained during its sitting, and not by their absence have obstructed the important business fir the consideration of which the Court was assembled.' Resolved unanimously, that the above resolution, signed by the Chairman, be advertised in .the usual morning and evening papers, and a copy thereof be sent to each of the Aldermen. JAS.

On the premises above recited he will receive into the Treasury coffers, on foreign wheat in bond or in transit for importation, 200,0001. ; on flour, 20,000/. ; on oats, peas, beans, and barley, probably another 50,0001.: so that he will realise against the meeting of Parliament some 320,000/. to 350,000/., wherewith to make a parade of pseudo-financial " prosperity." If, under our present system of corn-laws, modified even by the imposition of fixed duties, results thus inconsistent can be realised—of plenty to the Exchequer with destitution to the people—this is, alone, sufficient reason for their immediate abolition. Letters received flora Dresden, of the 23d instant, leave no doubt that the Government and the Lower Chamber of the States are in direct opposition on several important questions. It will be recollected that the Chamber adopted an address to his MAJESTY contrary to the wishes of his Ministers. This circumstance gave the Cabinet great annoyance, and a council was held in consequence to consider whether the KING should not at once dissolve the assembly and issue writs for a new election. After mature deliberation, this proposition was rejected on the ground that in the present excited state of the public mind, such a measure would only increase the irritation. It appears also that another symptom of misunderstanding had manifested itself. During the discussion on the propriety of drawing up an address, one of the KING'S Ministers declared that certain words used by one of the speakers were revolutionary, and the President, on the subject being referred fur his opinion, said the lan guage was perfectly in order. The Chamber also requires important reforms in the courts of law, substituting oral for written testimony, a reduction in the standing army, and establishment of a national guard or militia to perform cer• taro military duties now entrusted to the regular army. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 23d instant, ac cording to which new conspiracies had been discovered, both in the east and west of the Peninsula. The Herald() states that sixteen persons had been arrested at Valencia in con sequence of another plot against the Government, and the Castellano contains a letter from. Salamanca announcing that the whole of the cavalry and infantry in that town had been ordered to march to the frontiers of Portugal, in order to watch some revolutionary movement anticipated in the Tres os Mentes. NARVAEZ, accompanied by the Captain-Ge neral and Governor of Madrid, inspected all the barracks of the capital on the 23d. Additional troops continued to arrive. One of the journals states that " active preparations are now in the course of being made fur the construction Of a railway from Cordova to Malagra. The English engineers are already on their way here to survey this line." No business was done on the Bourse. The articles in the Paris papers, with the exception, per haps, of one, possess little interest for the English reader. That one appears in the Journal des Debats, and relates to the wanton, unjust, and wicked attacks made by certain London journals on'the character of the French nation, and the pretence set up by (we are glad to say) only one jour nal of respectability for keeping possession of Chusan. The Journal des Debate is justly celebrated for the ability of its writing, the calm good sense, and the peaceful impartial tone which pervades its 'columns. A reproach from a paper like this tells, therefore, with great effect, and cannot fail to be felt by every upright English man, the more especially when it is known that there is but too much truth in its sarcastic remarks. We only entreat our Contemporary, and the French in general, not to take sentiments expressed in certain Lon don papers as the sense of the nation, or as an indication that the wished-for peace with our powerful neighbour is at all diminished in the breasts of our countrymen. If the people were polled throughout Great Britain and Ireland, we believe not one in a hundred would be found to concur in the offen • sive remarks which from time to time have been directed against the whole French nation. In ani madverting on the proposition to retain Chusan in violation of treaties, that journal makes the following remarks :—" The English did not take time to appreciate all its advantages, - and, instead of appropriating Chusan to themselves, they took possession of a frightful rock, the den of pirates and smugglers, and caused the island of Hong-Kong to be permanently ceded to them. They have not been able to do anything with this sad conquest, not withstanding all the money they have expended, and Hong- Kong has been a sort of burial-place for the troops and Briti s h residents. As to Chusan, it has been occupied by the English, but only provisionally, and it has been stipulated that it shall be restored to China on the day when the last portion of the ransom agreed upon shall be paid. If tse English have not been able to habituate themselves to Hong-Keno., they have well accustomed themsel v e s t o Ch usan . D ur i ng the three years that they have had for experiencing all the inconveniences of their permanent possession, they have been equally able to appreciate all the advantages of their provisional possession, and the regret that they feel at h av i ng es t a bli s h e d them selves at Hong-Kong, doubles that which they feel at being obliged to quit Chusan. What is worth taking is worth keeping, says a proverb; and the English journals are for keeping what they have got. They are desirous, therefore, of finding a means of retaining Chusan, without having the appearance of violating too openly the faith of treaties. We remember having a month or two ago insinuated, without meaning any harm, that the English would seek for some pretexts to put the Chinese in the wrong, and they would not be sorry to receive some offence, in order to have the right of demanding reparation. This inno cent assertion caused a certain outcry in the English press, and regret was expressed that a journal, generally so mo derate, should thus take part in the accusation directed against the ambition and cupidity of England. We were really almost affected at these reproaches, and were be ginning to ask ourselves whether we had not given way, without wishing it, to some old feeling of jealousy. Un fortunately, however, a light has come from the East. All the letters from India and China call for Chusan, and one of the members of the Colonial Government is coming to England to demonstrate the necessity of retaining this fortunate island. The English journals are a little em barrassed. How, indeed, is Chusan to be retained in the face of the Pottinger treaty? It has been stipulated to give it up on receiving the last payment. The time for this is approaching rapidly, for it falls on the 31st of December of the present year. In two months this island, in which the English have found themselves so comfort able, must be given up, and they must bid adieu to its seductive banks. If these accursed Chinese had but the genius of bankruptcy! But no; they pay, alas! with a tor menting punctuality. The Americans have not yet had time enough to teach them the improved system of repudiation. This is what vexes certain English journals. They are in the rather rare position of a creditor who is heartily desirous of pro testing his debtors' bills, and experiences the disappointment of finding them solvent. The Chinese pay their bibs as re gularly as a Lombard-street banker. There is, therefore no honest way of retaining possession of Chusan. If the English Government should keep Chusan, which we are far from thinking will be the case, it will be neither, more nor less than an act of spoliation. To attempt to render us responsible for such conduct is a rather light way of tranquillising con seience." The following account of an imposing ceremony, which took place at the Tuileries, on Tuesday, is extracted from the papers : At one o'clock the King, accompanied by the Prince Royal, Count de Paris, the Princes his sons, and attended by his Ministers and the officers of his household, entered the throne-room at the Tuileries, when the Marshal Duke de Dalmatie, President of the Council, presented to his Majesty the Commissioners appointed for directing and superintending the erection of the monument to the memory of the late Duke of Orleans. The Marshals of France, the Generals of the Army, and the Admirals of the Navy now in Paris; General Jacqueminot, Commandant of the National Guard of the Seine, with his staff; the General Officers of the Na. tional Guards of Paris and the Banlieue, the Colonels and Lieu tenant-Colonels of the different legions, the Prefect of the Seine, the Prefect of Police, all the generals and superior officers in the War-office and Admiralty, General SeSastiani, Commandant of the First Military Division, with his staff; General Schneider, Com mandant of the Division without the walls of Paris, with his staff; the Colonels and Lieutanant-Colonels of the Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Engineers; and the Military Intendants and Sub= Intendants, were present at this ceremony. The Duke de Dal vaatie advanced, and presented to his Majesty the minutes of the inauguration of the statue, with the following address : " Sire,—l have the honour of presenting to your Majesty the minutes of the inauguration of the equestrian statue of Mon. seigneur the Duke of Orleans, Prince Royal, which has been erected in the cot.rt of the Louvre, and which the Army and Navy have spontaneously desired to offer to posterity in perpetuation of the memory of his Royal Highness. The Commission, presided over by Marshal Vallee, and of which were members Marshal Count d'Erlon (deceased), Lieutenant -Generals Baron d'Athalin, Count Baudrand, Baron Berthezene, Baron Woirol, Baron Ru. patel, Count Schramm, the Military Intendant Meleioa d'Arc, and M. Martineau de Cheaper, Auditor of the Council of State, Secre. tary, has given to all the preparatory works of the monument at tentions which I hope the King will have the goodness to appre ciate. I bave also the honour to present to your Majesty the medals which have been struck on this sad and solemn occasion." The King Immediately delivered the minutes to the Count de Paris, whom he held by the hand, saying— "My dear Child,—l cannot do better than give als to you. You will keep it as a precious testimony of the feeling of confi dence and, affection which the army entertained for your poor father," Hie ifajesty then, turning towards the Committee and officers with which the throne-room was filled, said— " I appreciate, my dear Marshal, the zeal with which the Corn raission, under your direction, has fulfilled the wish of the land and sea forces, and I thank them as well as "you. On receiving this new homage to the memory of a beloved son, over whom Francs mourns with me, I am too much moved to be able to ex press as I would all that I experience at this moment. But, how.. ever painful it may be to me now to make my voice heard, I recover my powers when called upon to express to the Army, the National Guard, and to all France, how deeply my heart, and the hearts of all belonging to me, are penetrated with such a homage, and to testify, at the same time, to the people of Paris how much we have been touched by those striking demonstrations with which they have surrounded the statue which you have offered to me in the name of the Army." In the course of the day his Majesty, in the hall of the throne, and surrounded by the Royal Family and his Ministers, delivered to the Duke d'Aumale the insignia of the Grand Order of the Golden Fleece, conferred upon this Prince by the Queen of Spain. The Spanish Charge d'Affaires was present. Prince Ferdinand and Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg Gotha arrived on Monday at the Palace of St. Cloud. _ ... ..... It is said that the King is shortly to pass in review the troops that have lately arrived in Paris. " The funeral obsequies of Count Eugene Ncy, who was re cently Chargé d'Affaires of France at the Brazils, were peformed on Tuesday at the Church of St. Roch. His brother, the Prince de Moskowa was the chief mourner. The _Frew says :—" It will be recollected that the negotiations pending a few months ago between Prussia and Denmark, relating to the Sound dues, did not terminate in any decided result. We now believe, however, that this negotiation, which interests all corn mercial nations in the same degree as Prussia, will be resumed during the next month. At the same time, it must be remem bered that the existing conventions do Hot expire till 1851." A further depression of stock and prices of shares took place on the Paris Bourse on Wednesday, but to no great extent.

(Before Mr. Commissioner GovLamm) IN REAY ♦ND BEAY. To-day was appointed for the bankrupt, John Reay, to pan his last examination. The bankrupt carried on business on a most extensive scale as a wine.merchaut, in Mark-lane, City, and failed for a large amount, upwards of 200,0001. The official assignee now reported to the Court that the bank rupt had given every pnssible information, and had rendered what he the official assignee considered, the best accounts in his power, and did not consider that any advantage would be gained by any further adjournment. The Solicitor to the trade assignee said, that after the report of the official assignee, he should not make any opposition to the bankrupt passing. The Learned COMMIiiSIONER asked whether any creditor wished to oppose, and no one answering, the bankrupt was declared to hare passed, CRIMINAL COURT . -(THIS DAY.) MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, all to the trade. The market remains quiet, and is with out any appearance of change whatever. We have had a heavy market for Shares, and former prices are barely supported. The scarcity of money is severely felt at present in our market. Almost any feature connected with the affairs of Ireland, and tending to bring the manufactures of that country into favourable notice, is much liked in the City. It is a boast, therefore, to-day, among Irishmen con nected with trade, that Ler Majesty yesterday, on the occasion of opening the new building in Lincoln's Inn, had on a splendid dress formed of Limerick lace. We trust that the example of the Queen will be followed in future by all having a love of country, and a desire to see the manufac tures of Ireland advanced, and the general prosperity of the kingdom promoted. Mr. Waghorn has succeeded in bringing advices from Bombay and Calcutta within a month. The details of the n;cont arrival will be found in another part of The Sun. The merchants connected with the India and China trade are loud in their commendations of the skill and perseverance cf Mr. Waghorn. A public subscription, or a Parliamentary grant, must be granted to an individual who has so successfully established the " great fact" of abndging by one•sixth, or one-eighth, the period required in " olden times" for the transit of a convnunication between England and India, or Chine, and vire versa. The. Funds opened heavily, but they have since rallied. Consols for Account have since risen to 97k, and for Money from 96,1 to 97 1 / x . The premium upon Exchequer -bills has scarcely been so firm as yesterday. Bank Stock has flue tuated from 205 1 / to 2061. The Foreign Funds are heavy only in a few instances. Brazil Stock has declined to 82, but Danish has advanced to 87, Peruvian from 34 to 35 1 , and the Dutch Four per Conts. to 93. In the Share Market two or three more failures are con sidered as more than probable. The settlements still may be said to proceed satisfactorily. The corrected list of prices will show the different variations. In Mark-lane to-day business is all but suspended, and all parties are anxious to hear what will be the altered duties upon the admission of foreign grain for home consumption.

OCTOBER 31, 1845. in a leading article on the potato murrian, published in our impression of the 25th instant, we made the following observations, and we repeat them here, in order to introduce the important announcements, which seem to be justified by the universally accredited rumours, of the determination that has been arrived at by the Government, in reference to the all-important :subjects to which they refer. We wrote thus :—" The danger of a lack of subsistence for millions of our poorer fellow- countrymen is no longer a figurative allusion—an imposing figure, to point the indignant declamations of anti-corn-law eloquence. It is imminent—it is impending—it must be encountered. But with what Conservative provision 2" . . "We answer thus—cheap and wholesome corn must replace dear and diseased potatoes. To let in cheap and wlsolescnne corn for this just, humane, and patriotic purpose, not a moment must be lost in opening the only channel through which the supply can be poured in a sufficient quantity, and at suf ficiently low prices." .... " The Prime Minister ,rust assume, if he would avert responsibility for the impending catastrophe which the advent of winter must other wise bring along with it, the grave political responsibility of advising the Crown to. issue an Order in Council virtually suspending the whole ma chinery of sliding-scales, and pivot prices, and peiec-adjusting duties. He must make the importation of fore ign corn free for some weeks to come," &c., &c. From theit day to the present hour the aspect of affairs has indicated t: approach ing fulfilment of our convictions; and some ren sz,rkable fea tures have eept cially attracted our notice. It is, therefore, just five or six days ago since we ventured, in e xpress terms, to predict that the Minister would find I tinsself com pelled to adopt a course of this nature in this manner; that Is, by Order in Council. We pi Maimed the necessity that impended over him of witnessing,. :and even of compelling thefailure of that boasted corn-trade ISeg islation, to the perfect character of which he had pledged the reputation of his own official sagacity and statesmanship, an d, in order to uphold which he has protracted the season of'h igh prices, with famishing • wages for the whole of our Inds: 'trial com munity, through many months and years of privation and misery. For the consistent maintena ee of his inconsistent scale, he has dragged his own :party and adherents tha ough all the highways and by-ways of political tergi versation and moral evasion. It is true that in adopt ing the proceeding, by Order i a Council.. of which nowt here can be little doubt—he mu it also adopt the alternative which we assumed he would most pro bably resort to, as comprising one of th ose middle terms—one of those substitutions of expedient a for prin ciples which a re so emphatically characteristiie of what he would call "his policy." Last evening th.e result of the various ruin ours which had prevailed in the Ci ty on the subject of the o pening of the ports throughout tkit ; day was considered to b e authoritatively stated thus t foreign wheat would be s Ldmitted for home consumption, uncle r an Order in Council, at 44 barley 25., oats ls. per quarter, flour 2s. per sack. It Tessa assumed that this " Order" woti tel release 1,000,000 quarts 'rs of grain and flour in bond, in •el he United Kingdom; 17U,000 barrels of flour on the way from the United States, 150,000 barrels from Canada, 60,0 0(1 quarters the market o f h ome-grown corn, a ru I the ap_inof wheat from the Baltic, &c. Th us the actual is resence of p sc r a o r l c ie i h g scarcity in infusion of bonded and foreign supplies to a large irmou nt into that mar k et, are facts bro , ight pr omin antly into public notice.. On the occasion already alluded to we remarked- —" On t' , (given. the single conditi on o f even suspending, though we may hold th at the euspetisio a of those corn-laws,) we ha' tre a ce z t t a n s f i trb oti ll e i r d h limited h hand , d P tiermln: permanent, - " been and p rompt influx of grain," &c.

Well, we must be content. The reduced quantum of thee e minute 'out noxious preparations will soon be ex- hauste i, and JOHN Butz may, and we think will, soon re gain h is constitutional embonpoint, in spite of Dr. PEEL. A preliminary condition to this perfect consummation must also be tht : utter sacrifice of all his currency nostrums, which we c atertain strong hopes of yet seeing thrown out of tht window by the indignant good sense of the public. In the n leanwhile we cannot but marvel at the good fortune whit] ais so constant to Sir ROBERT PEEL, that, out of the mice; y and distress of the country, it supplies him with new aourc es of revenue. The failure of a harvest is an enormous nacre ment in the (temporary) prosperity of his finance. His statis tics of income, collated with those of expenditure, are so 3.nt Lch enhanced by how much misery and famine, ex. tend their fearful ravages among the people. A failing hr . „.. e , t and a potato murrain give him the oppor ',,mitl of thus acljustipg the decrease in the last - OLD COURT. (Before Lord Chief Baron roixoca and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) On the opening of the Court this morning, Daniel Garratt was brought up, when his former plea of Not Guilty vas withdrawn, as he alleged, because he could not afford to employ Counsel, and pleaded (guilty to all the indictmeni3 against him, twelve in num ber. Maynard was also brought up And arraigned on two fresh indictments, to which be pleaded Not Guilty. CHARGE OF MURDER.— Wtn. Still, 20, was charged with the wilful murder of Wm. Still the younger, by Striking him several blows on the head, which had resulted in death. Mr. Horry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. The Learned Gentlemen for the prosecution having Welly stated the case against the prisoner, Lord Chief Baron Pomencit said that in looking over the despoil _ tions, though it appeared certain that some violence had been done the child, and which might have occasioned death,'still there was no evidence that:it was wilful, and not accidental, or that the prisoner was present at the time referred to, and was the wilful cause. He therefore, in agreement with Mr. Justice Coleridge, instructed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, and a verdict was returned accordingly. Wm. Collins, 16, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to forging an order of payment with intent to defraud John Wallace and another, was brought up for judgment. The sentence of the Court was, that he should be imprisoned with hard labour for two years. RAPE.—John Snozel, bricklayer, 27, a coarse-looking fellow, was next placed at the bar, on the charge of committing a rape on the person ot Catherine Porter. a pretty-looking girl, aged 16, at Sy. denham, on the evening of the 29th of September last. On the case being called, Mr. BaDentine appeared for the prisoner, but there was no one for the prosecution. Regarding this omission Mr. Justice COLERIDGE expressed him self very strongly that the niggardness of the county should allow such a grave and importaut case to be brought up without sufficient provision being made for counsel, and directed the brief against the prisoner to be handed to Mr. Bodkin. The LEARNED GENTLEMAN stated the case, the details of which are unfit for publication, when evidence was given in support of the charge. From this it appeared that the girl on the evening in question, went out of her mother's house along with prisoner to fetch some ale from a neighbouring public-house, when the offence alleged took place. The defence was. that the prosecutrlx was a consenting party, and went voluntarily out of the way with the prisoner at the time re ferred to, having not only gone to the public-house in question with him, but to the house of the prisoner, who is a married man, a mile and a half distant, on the road to which, in a bye-lane, the offence was eommirted. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Charlotte Mackie, aged 27, was charged with cutting and stab. bing John Mackie her husband, with intend to do him some griev. ous hodily harm. The defence charged arose out of a domestic quarrel, in which the prisoner. who was drunk, seized a knife and inflicted several severe cuts on the person of the prosecutor. There was no fea ture of interest in the case, and the evidence being very conflicting as to the motives of the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of the common assault, without felonious intent. The prisoner was ordered to be brought up for judgment to morrow morning. It is not expected that Maynard's case will come on before to morrow morning, there being several cases on the list before it. 'NEW COURT. (Before the Recoanze.) The Court was chiefly occupied this morning with cases for uttering bad coin, but being mostly of a trifling nature, the only point of interest in any of them arose from the circumstances which went to prove that the prisoners uttered the coin knowing it to be bad. Dennis lif`Carty was charged with tendering a bad half-crown in payment of beer had at the bar of a public-house. A good half crown was found upon the prisoner, but besides this a bad shilling, folded up in paper. The Mint inspector having examined the coin, acid both pieces were of Britannia.metal, and in this instance slightly covered with silver ; hence the necessity of preventing friction by having the coin folded up in a wrapper.—Sentence was deferred. Janet Collins:tendered a bad half-crown in payment of sixpenny. worth of grocery at a shop in the Strand. The young man pur sued her from the shop. The prisoner on being overtaken by the witness, drew her hand from her breast and threw something into an adjoining area, which was afterwards found to be two sixpences, both bad.—She was found . Guilty, find Sentenced to six months' im. prisonment and hard labour. Robert Berry, and Francis M'Carty, were ;laced at the bar, charged with uttering base coin. Berry, who we.. 17 kyachable years of age, genteel in his appearance, and bad borne an irrep character up to the time of the crime of which he was accused, S P" peared to have been the dupe of M'Carty. Both were seen by the policeman in company on the Camberwell and afterwards on the Walworth.rosd, and in the course of three hour: went into diffe rent shops in these districts, but ultimately on the Walworth.rosd in three tobacconists' shops tendered successively three bad shillings. The coin, which had been refused in every instance, was found upon the prisoners. M'Carty pleaded guilty, and the jury found Berry also Guilty. M`Carty was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for one year, and Berry for three calendar months. In the opinion of Mr. Field, inspector of the Mint, the three shillings had been produced from the same mould, had been made of Britannia metal, but not covered with silver. John Williams was charged with stealing from the Jane Locker, between the 7th and Bth June last, then lying in the West India Docks. John Colford, master, went on board on the morning of the Bth, and found the cabin in great disorder, the Jocks broken off, and missed a pocket sextant, a gold ring and pin, belonging to himself. . Daniel Pluck, one of the seamen, found on the said morning the lashings of the companion -door cut, and the bolts wrenched. Below everything was in disorder. Witness missed a jacket and great-coat, which he saw afterwards in the possession of Thomson, a pawnbroker. Thomson's clerk said the articles had been pawned ; the jacket on the Bth, for 35., and the great coat en the 14th June, for 75., and in both instances by a woman. Caroline Smith—Lives at 18, Lower King-street, Commercial road. She had pledged the articles last-mentioned for the prisoner, who lodged at her house. She had seen the prisoner wear the jacket once, and only once. Joseph Montagu, a constable at the East and West India Docks, went to the prisoner's lodgings, and found a pocket sextant, a gold ring and pin, with tickets for sundry other articles pledged. Wit. ness got the prisoner in Clerkenwell prison. When taken he said to witness that Le had been in custody for the Jane Locker theft already, The prisoner was found Guilty; and having been convicted On three lleparate occasions before, was sentenced to ten years' trans. portation, A HINT TO SPECULATORS.—In a very short time the Share-market must recover its tone. The mere paper projects which have been brought out, rather to make money than to make railroads, have been ruined (as they merited) by the panic, which is now subsiding. Already are Railway Shares in better request than any one could have expected a week ago. • We advise the holders of such shares not to be in a hurry to part with them just yet. Such lines as have completed their surveys, and lodged their plans, &c., by the 30th of November, must rise to a high premium immediately after. Early next month, also, a great portion of the En glish money deposited in the Bank of Paris on account of French Railways, will be released and returned, for the adju dication will then be made, and the unsuccessful competitors must have their money returned. This will make money plentiful. Our firm belief is that., within five weeks from this day, bona fide Railway Shares will be at higher premiums in the market than they have been at any time during the present year.—Railway Express. DEATH OF LORD MONTAGU .—With feelings of deep regret we announce, that the fears lately expressed as to the result of this Nobleman's illness have bq !ell at length realised, his Lordship having expired at his residence, Hamilton-place, last even ing, at a quarter before ten o'clock. since Sunday last all hopes of the Noble Lord's recovery appeared to have been dispelled. His Grim the Duke of Buccleuch, the N oble Lord's nephew ; the Earl of Home, his sox-in-law ; Lady Montego, and several other relatives, were in attendance since the time a7Lnnniag symptoms had mani fested themselves. The deceased, II enry James Montagu Scott, was the second son of the third: Duke of Buccleuch, by the only surviving child of the. first Duke of Montagu. lie was born in 1776, and married, in . 1804, the eldest daughter of the first Lord Douglas. (She was bor nin 1779.) He succeeded his grandfather in 1790. The first Baron ,:the Duke of Montagu, on the death of his only son, Baron Monte gu, obtained a revival of the barony of Montagu for himself, with r emainder to his daughters and sons. The late Lord was a supporter if the:present Administration. He had the patrouage of seven livin; :s, and his estates, which are considerable, lay in Berkshire, Hampsi lire, and Selkirkshire, of withh latter county he was the Lord-Lieun ;rant. The title becomes ex tinct, and the bulk of the property falls into the possession of the Duke of Buccleuch. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY i l YOUNG LADY.—Yes- terday afternoon, the family of James t Reentin, Esq., of Charlotte street, Portland-place, were thrown in Iv the utmost alarm, by their eldest daughter, seventeen years of age , having attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of /au ct mum. The young lady had returned from a walk in the Regent's -Pa rk, and on arriving at her friends' residence, she was suddenly set ,ed with vomiting, when it was immediately detected that she had t ;wallowed laudanum. Me dical assistance was promptly renders d, and by the aid of the stomach-pump most of the poison was c jectad, and great hopes are entertained for her recovery. DANGERoUS FEMALE EAtPLOYMENT.—In the aCricultural districts it has become a. 'very general plan to employ Yo ung females in tho dangerous, an, t to them improper, labour of " e erving" thrashing machines. Asl tort time since, a poor girl was dri sadfully injured while so employed sn the farm of Mr. Parrott, of To rest-hill; and a few days since, a similar accident befel Caroline Cr )wdy, a young woman employed in serving a machine on the farm of Messrs. W. and T. Hine, of Christmas-common, Oxon. The ma chi nery caught a portion of her dress, tore her clothes, injured her per son, and would probably have ktlled her had it not been for the en mettle exertions of one of the. attendtutto.
