'Y BRAZIL. N i.ss The Brazilian packet has not his. ''sstrsis her confirmatio n o f th e repor t th a t a new 4\ had been signed between the British and the Bratiliafillovern ments. The intelligence received cji 'Petriambuco was, therefore, premature, if not incorrect. It needed very little knowledge of the state of the various interests concerned, to pronounce decidedly that the alleged basis of a total emancipation of the Brazilian slaves was wholly improbable. After the emphatic declaration of Sir Robert Peel, that he would be no party to the admission of slave-grown produce to compete with that of our own colonies, our merchants, who had made up their minds that all avenues to a new arrangement with Brazil, after No vember, were entirely shut, were much surprised at the sudden announcement of a fresh treaty, more fa vourable to their trade than the existing one. We regret that it is our duty to state that we have every reason to believe, from the best autho rity, that no such treaty has been, or is likely to be, negotiated. Up to the present hour no correct in telligence has been received that such a treaty has been concluded; and, we may further add, that whatever treaty may be the result of the present negotiations, it will be limited to a new And totally different basis—a basis of the narrowest and most un satisfactory dimensions. We are given to under stand that, in the best-informed quarters, it is ru moured that the efforts of the negotiators are now limited to a treaty, from which the forbidden article of sugar is totally excluded. Although coffee, which is at present a staple pro duct of Brazil, is slave-grown as well as sugar, the latter article, in accordance with the subtle distinc tions drawn by Mr. Gladstone in discussing the sugar duties, is still to be prohibited. The only object of such a treaty is therefore to prevent, if possible, any differential duties from being struck against us next year; for, of course, no extension of our Brazi lian trade can be looked for, unless Brazilian sugar is to be admitted into our markets. Under such circum stances, the completion of the treaty, come when it may, will not be hailed by the public with any feel ings of exultation, for at the best it can but keep us as we are in the article of sugar. As it is prohable, however, that the Brazilians will not consent to modify in our favour any tariff which they may have projected, unless considerable reductions are granted in the duties on their other commodities, it follows that we may expect some relief in the pike of coffee, the speculators in which article ought, therefore, to be on the alert. Such, then, is the abortive result, after two years' labours, of the Brazilian negotiations of the Tories—a Brazilian treaty, from which sugar is to be excluded! It is hardly necessary to add, that the slave ques tion has been passed over, sub silentio, in those dis cussions ; the Tory conscience permitting the °con sumption of slave-grown coffee, but revolting at the idea of slave-grown sugar, and the Brazilian con science making reprisals by a differential duty, a sort of compromise will be effected which cannot lead to any great or permanently satisfactory results.— Liverpool Mercury. COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was yesterday held at the Sewers•office, 1, Greek street, Soho-square. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Esq. The only matter of any general interest in the day's proceedings, namely, th e cons id era ti on o f th e s t eps to I be immediately taken to restore the dilapidated parts of the main line of the Ranelagh sewer, in Glouces ter-road, Paddington, was deferred till next Friday, in order to have the report of Messrs. Tite and Ren nie upon the subject. These gentlemen were to have reported upon the causes of the failure at this meeting, but a letter was read, stating that in consequence of the difficulties involved, they should not be ready to lay their opinion before the Court until the 7th of the month. After some routine business, such as reading sur veyors' reports, inspecting book of informations and of bad materials, examining bills, &c., the Court adjourned. MONUMENT TO SIR SIDNEY SMITH AT PARIS. A monumental pillar of beautiful marble has just been erected in Pere-la-Chaise to the memory of this celebrated warrior, by his surviving friends, resident at Paris. The pillar, which is 15 feet in height, is . ,quare at the base, slightly declining in the ascent. Surmounting the inscription are the coat of arms of the deceased, with the motto " Forward." The fol• lowing is a copy of the words of the inscription : Peace to the Hero who undaunted stood Where Acre's sheets were red with Turkish blood ; In warlike France, where great Napoleon rose, The man who check'd his conquests finds repose. England, who claims his triumphs as her own, Has raised for him her monumental stone. This tomb, which marks his grave, is now supplied By friends with whom he lived, with whom he died— A tribute to his memory. Here beneath Lies a bold heart of England—Sidney Smith." ANALYSIS OP PULMONARY TUBERCLE. Six grammes of firm tuberculous matter were found to afford the following principles, and in the following proportions : Grms. Decigrs. Albumen ...... ....... 1 4 Gelatine Fibrine Water (or 1055)... One hundred parts of crude pulmonary tubercle were found to consist of— Animal matter . . 98 15 Chloride of sodium .... ) Phosphate of lime.. 1 85 Carbonate of limo. .3 Oxide of iron a trace. From the above it would seem that tubercle consists principally of albumen and fibrine, constituents of healthy blood; but it is probable that these, with a small proportion of gelatine, are integrated, and pro bably aggregated in, in some peculiar manner, to admit of their being separated and deposited upon certain tissues—the serous and mucous, for instance —as tubercular matter. We cannot admit tubercle to originate in a morbid action of the secerning ves sels of the tuberculated organs, because the tubercles have been observed gradually separating from the blood, and forming into masses. Admitting the correctness of these views, evidently the first indication in the cure of phthisis is to correct the morbid condition of the blood, by which the sepa ration and localisation of tubercular deposit will be arrested, and ultimately wholly prevented. The morbid conditions of the fluids, and more particularly of the blood, are best corrected by medicines, which from the peculiarity of their action, were at one time named " alteratives."— Venables on fErated Medi cines in the Treatment of Inveterate Diseases : Art. , Phthiais. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY'S STUD.—Yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, the Dundee, Perth, and London Shipping Company's splendid steam-ship Dundee, Captain James Kidd, arrived at lore's steam packet wharf, Wapping, from Dundee. She brought nearly a full complement of first and second cabin pas sengers, not a few of whom required the kindly aid of Mr. Robertson, the steward, during the passage. The stewardess was not less attentive. The tempestuous weather on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, caused many sojourners in the Perthshire Highlands for the past three weeks, and who were passengers south ward by the Dundee, to disgorge everything their stomachs contained of Scottish - hospitality. For a time, royalty, as well as loyalty to the sovereign, was altoge ther forgotton; but " Athol brose," along with other effective medicine, administered by Mr. Robertson, the steward, speedily effected a cure. The demand for soda water, by a privileged few to the kindlier considerations of the landlord of the inn of Blair Athol, was unprece- dented, at least, we have so been informed by ono of the passengers. The Dundee brought, and landed in safety, at lore's commodious steam-packet wharf, her Majesty's stud, consisting of sixteen carriage and saddle horses, along with her favourite mountain pony, and Prince Al bert's two shooting Highland ponies.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. LONDON and YORK RAILWAY. Several advertisements having of late appeared, beaded "DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles lei's than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, la justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction.

The PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE of the DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY from LONDON to YORK by LINCOLN, having before them an advertisement pub lished in the Morning Papers of this day, headed " LONDON and YORK RAILWAY," and signed " J. R. 11owatt, Secre tary," and observing the very discourteous spirit which pervades it, feel that they might have contented themselves by simply giving a peremptory denial to the statements contained therein, so far as they impugn the prospectus and line put forth by this Committee, of which they are prepared fully to establish the integrity at the proper time and before the proper tribunal ; yet the Committee, thinking that it is due to the public to furnish a specific reply to the aforesaid statements, now proceed to do so as follows : ADVERTISAMENT.

Early notice will be given when the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract will lie tbr signature at Liverpool, Manches ter, York, and other principal towns. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is sot more than two miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 1851 miles. J. R. MOWA.TT, Secretary, 7, Lothsiry, London, September 21, MU. Whether this difibrence of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line Is yet to be proved, and, If realised, who ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford, llawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which Is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren. nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published In April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in I $36, and in that year carried into Parliament That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice. Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis tinctly of that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg fUrther to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon. don and York Company hag been before the public for a period of fire months, after its whole capital of the millions has been sub. scribed, and its shares has attained a high premium in the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter-project, and with the mis-atatements here disposed of. 1 2.

It appears that the pro posed line is to commence near King's-cross, in the New-road, and, independently of any other line, to take its course through Hert. ford, Bedford, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Sleaford, and the other important towns, to Lincoln and York; the distance by the adoption of this line being less by nearly 40 miler than it can be travelled by any existing railway. The capital required for the execution of the work is estimated at or under 4,000,0001., the length of line being 180 miles. The work will be placed under the superintendence of Sir John Rennie and Mr. William Gravatt, Civil Engineers"— 4. That on the 16thi of April, 1844, " the i project" was announc.i ed by advertisementl in the " Times," under! the name of the Great Northern Railway,; before any advertise ment of Sir John Iten- , nie had appeared. All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com mittee, be idle. Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public, is an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the Provisional Committee of the London and York Company, pub lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub. lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co, By order of the Committee of Direction, J. 11. MO WATT, Secretary. Offices, 7, Lothbury, London, October 3,1844. And the following is extracted from the "Times" city article, April 15, 1844: TABLE OF DISTANCES. " A Direct Northern Railway from London to York by Lincoln, having in view the connexion of the North of England and Scot land, by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, is also another project recently started. The line is to commence from King's cross, pass through Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, St. Neots, Huntingdon, and Peterborough, to Lincoln, and thence by Gains. borough, Thorne, Snaith, and Selby to York. The capital required is 4,000,0001., in 1004 shares. Among the advantages which it is stated this route will possess, are—that the distance between Lon. don and York will be 39 miles less than by the existing railways; that it will reduce the distance between London and Edinburgh 39 miles; and that it will be the nearest way to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Hali fax, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield 5.

'mit tee arc advised, by la further appropria tion of Sir John Itena nie's line. and a fur-1 ther abandonment of Mr. Gibbs's line of 1836,1840,and 1841. tl. The advertise ment states " that the difference in distance between the two pro• Jeeted lines from Lon don to York, instead of being 20 miles, is not more than 5i miles" (in favour of Sir John Itennie's line) ; and also that the line of the London and York Company is in reality upon the lino, as finally laid down, 1851 mike. " The trunk line was, in round numbe ramifications would be still more extensive."

In conclusion, this Com. :nate° cannot but call attention to the announced fact, that the line adopted is, with modifications, that of Mr. Gibbs, thus conveying that the London and York Company arc not indebted for their line, as finally laid down, either to Mr. Walker, the distinguished Engi. neer to the first line, viz., the Cambridge and York ♦ia Lincoln Railway ; or to Mr. Locke, who has just resigned his °Mee; or to Mr. Cubitt, who is at present advertised as the Engineer.in.Chief to the Company; but to Mr. Gibbs, whose name has not previously appeared as professionally connected with the London and York Railway Company.—By order of the Committee, WILLIAM AMSINCK, Secretary.

WILLIAM LYNN respectildly calls the attention of the nobility, gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article of importation. It. is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of par- Poses that English Ice cannot be applied to. W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for the use and comfort of Private Families-- The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of thrniture, rapidly coming into use In northern and southern climes; it is designed to keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as arc necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the summer season. The Refrigerator is now considered an indisponsible article in the economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article In one year. They may be seen In operation, in their various valuable and useful pit/poses, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with them on moderate terms. American Ice, wholesale and retail.

THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—The Directors of the Eastera Counties Railway having determined on an extension of their line to Bury, via Newmarket, sub mitted the plans of two lines to the Jockey Club on Wednesday last for their opinion, one being proposed to pass to the left of the race course, the other to the right of the town. The Club was almost unanimously in favour of the former. It is stated that the line may be com• pleted in about two years.l The following new Stake is proposed for Wednesday, in the Newmarket Craven Meeting, 1845 :—A Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 soya. each, h ft, with 100 added by the inhabitants, for four yrs old and upwards; the second to receive 1501. out of the stakes ; 100 Subs., or no race ; Beacon or Claremont Course.

SHIPWRECK OF THE WINDSOR CASTLE STEAMER. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) We refrain in the meantime from expressing any opinion on the circumstances which led to this melancholy catastrophe. It cannot, however, be dis guised, that at the time it happened the sea was com paratively cairn ; that the beacon against which the vessel struck is one with which all who have the least pretension to knowledge of that passage must be thoroughly acquainted, and, knowing it to be a dangerous point, those in charge of the Windsor Castle should be able to give some satisfactory ex planation to the public, otherwise all confidence in such means of conveyance will be withdrawn. From the inquiries we have made, we learn that the vessel was, at the time of the accident, under the command of Captain Greig, and that Mr. Black, who early in the summer brought the Windsor Castle round the north of Scotland from the Clyde, was acting as pilot. It is said that the steamer, in consequence of the smoothness of the sea, had made more progress than was calculated upon, and that the leading light on the Island of May was not distinctly seen, the atmosphere being hazy at the time, and that these two causes combined to mislead the pilot, and make him think he was farther out at sea than he really was. Several seafaring men have given it as their opi nion, that had the Windsor Castle struck the North Carr Rock stern on, she would immediately have split in two, and all on board would have been consigned to a watery-grave. As it was, it ap pears the vessel, which is made of iron, made a sliding stroke over the rock, and that one of the iron stauncheons of the beacon had, by the con cussion, opened up the joining of two plates immediately under the bulk-head, thr ou g h which the water rushed into the vessel, placing her and the hundreds of souls on board in a p osition of such help less and imminent danger , that it was agreed onall hands they were saved in a manner entirely miraculous and providential. The 'Windsor Castle, we believe, was built on the Clyde in 1838, and was generally considered one of the strongest iron vessels of her size afloat. Tuesday was to have been the last of her double trips this year. Unfortunately, it appears to have been her last for ever ! THE OTAIIEITAN VICTORY.--The French Protec torate at Otaheite may be considered as at an end. The natives have decided that point. The " Battle of Ma haena" has been a murderous one, and it will not have added to the glory of France. It • appears that the Otaheitans were the victors ; and when offers of peace were subsequently made by Governor Brunt, the answer returned was, " Before any propositions would be con sidered, th e F renc h G overnor must restore to life their murdered countrymen."—Patriot.
