This company is formed for the purpose of establishing direct railway communication between the important ports of Hull, Great Grimsby, and Southampton. It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction of a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham, Oakham, Uppingham, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and joining the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough and Northampton?; thus forming, in, connexion with projected lines of railway from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to Southampton the connecting link in one uninter. rupted chain of railway communication from Hull and Grimsby to Southampton, Gosport, and Poole, and the whole of the sauth western coast of England. It will also form the most direct route from Hull, Great Grimsby, and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rutlandshire, Northamp tonshire, and part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Chel. tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, and the South and West of England. An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of this undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the South generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the adjacent counties, at present without railway accommo dation; while its value to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railwak Companies, and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which it will form a most profitable adjunct) must be obvious. This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected line from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and Grimsby, the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed lines running to Lincoln ; at Grantham with the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir and Grantham, and the Grand Union ; at Oakham with the Syston and Peterborough ; also with the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham and London, and Manchester Direct. One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does not run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of railway. "• • • The ground has been surveyed, and found to be practicable, pre. renting for the most part no engineering difficulties. _ . . Satisfactory communications for mutual co.operation have been opened with the several companies, whose interests will be affected by the proposed line. In the meantime the Committee of Manage ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or deviate from the proposed line, or make such extensions and branches as they may hereafter deem advisable. The Subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act. In consequence of a great portion of the Shares having been already applied for, the period for application must necessarily be very limited. Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form to the following Sharebrokers :—London : Mr. W. West, Capel-court, Mr. Benjamin Rankin, Tokenhouse-yard ; Mr. Morton, 14, Ex change-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs. E. C. Hopps and Co., Leeds; Messrs. Gibson and Dover, Manchester ; Messrs.

The object of this line of railway is to connect the towns of Fe. kenham, Holt, and Cromer with the important borough and sea port of Kings Lynn, and by means of the various projected lines, in that neighbourhood, to extend the communication to every part of Norfolk, Cambridge, Lincolnshire, and the north and west of Eng land, a connection, which must materially increase the importance of Lynn, at a time when that successful national undertaking— " The great level of the Wash"—is rapidly progressing towards ac complishment. The delightful town of Cromer, which is a favourite resort, will by means of this railroad become easily accessible not only to the more immediate district, but also to the visitors from both the Midland arid Northern Counties, who will thereby be enabled with facility to avail themselves of its advantages. The important town of Fakenham, together with Holt, sur rounded by a rich agricultural country, will by this line obtain the advantage not only of general railway conveyance, but also of an intimate connexion with the flourishing ports of Kings Lynn and Wisbeach, places of considerable importance, from their integral trade and vast exports, together with the several places connected with them by means of the present existing railways. Incontestable evidence was received by the Parliamentallt Com mittees during the last session, that wheat and all other grain was usually from 2s. to 3s per quarter lower in price in the neigh bourhood of this line than at Norwich—a depreciation which will be completely obviated by this line of railway ; the same effect will equally or even more strongly appear with respect to all artificial manures, and the consequent great increase in value of the whole of the land in this district. This line, when formed, will be the nearest road to London, via Lynn, by upwards of twenty miles, for all places north of the line, and it will be in the immediate proximity of, and will afford ac commodation to, Holkhana, Rainham, Melton Constable, Hough ton, and Hillington. The promoters think it unnecessary to present any detailed ao count of the presumed revenue, as the importance r f the commu nication, and the extent of the population, must ensure a profitable return upon the capital to be employed. The country presents no engineering difficulties whatever ; on the contrary, it offers unex ceptionable gradients. The Directors have been fortunate in securing the services of a most competent and thoroughly practical engineer, who will per sonally devote his energies to the completion of the undertaking. The surveys are proceeding with, and the necessary steps have been taken to secure a Bill in the ensuing session, as well as to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their Shares, and to insure an allowance of 41. per cent. interest upon their de posits until the opening of the line. Applications for shares are to be made to the Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, or to Mr. Win. Wilde, Nor wich ; or to the following Sharebrokers —Messrs. Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange; Mr. H. J. Bolding, 27, Token house-yard; Messrs. Scholes and Hanlon, Liverpool; Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, Manchester; Messrs.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queknborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury I and Dover. The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay, and from thence to the South-Eastern Extensicn Railway (now being made), at it point near Sarr, and will then pi o eeed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Peal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate. By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and the', too, by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London ; and I)eal, Ramsgate, Margate, Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich, Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con nexion upon one continuous line of railway. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the 'Midland, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route through the (metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes. They may proceed by railway, ou the Essex side of the Thames, to the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or, may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames, to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a direct line, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by another.. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting all the above-mentioned towns, !and giving a direct line from Sheerness to Dover, together w itli the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham about ..... •• • . ..... •• • ....... •• • . 12 miles. Faversham to Herne Bay . lO Thence to Sarr • The extension to Margate • • • • .. • 9 The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from Faversham to Margate. The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and to Deal, if circumstances shouts hereafter render it ad visable. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest, at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of 11w Ihw.

Name Description Residence— Date Reference to more and more deteriorated; and then comes this sage re flection :—" There may, however, be, and we trust there are countervailing principles at work, of which we cannot at present trace the operation ; and at all events we are, whether for good or for evil, too far advanced in manufactures to think of seriously checking their progress." And what does he recommend in the meantime ? " Opening additional markets for our manufactured goods, lightening the bur dens of the lower classes, and repealing' or mo difying injudicious or oppressive taxes." Why, the first would act precisely in the same way as WArrs's and ARKWRIGHT'S inventions, for the manufacturing population increase or diminish according to the demand for their labour, and by lightening the burdens on the industrious classes new burdens must be cast on others, of course on men who have capital in land or money, and according to his own showing, this would "lessen the means of capitalists to employ labour and increase the temptation to carry capital abroad; and it has not yet been shown how a measure productive of such re sults should be otherwise than injurious to the labouring classes." But he even despairs of his own remedy, and it is not to be wondered at, after such a jumble of confused ideas. " When this has been done," he sums up, " Government had better pause; and, how unphilosophical soever it may seem, the safest course will then probably be to fold our arms, and to leave the denouement to time and PROVIDENCE." We have only srace to notice two or three of the glaring contradictions and unfounded statements with which the work abounds. Mr. M'Cum.ocit contends that every shilling raised by the income-tax is so much deducted from the fund for the em ployment of labour; that it lessens the means of capitalists to employ labour, and increases the temptation to carry capital abroad. Why, any man who po:sesses common sense, without a particle of that science called political economy, knows that there are as many false statements here as paragraphs. The money raised by the income-tax is not thrown into the sea; it still exists, and forms a fund for the employment of labour, either in improving or forming harbours ; in constructing machinery for steam-vessels ; in building ships, and making railroads, bridges, &c., for the service of the country. And if a heavy income-tax drives capital to other countries, has not every tax the same tendency? If fa milies find themselves burdened with taxes here more griev ously than in other countries, or if manufacturers ascertain that they can carry on their trade on the Continent at a cheaper rate, they would be as likely to emigrate for ono tax as for another. But, after all, these high taxes do not, to any perceptible extent, drive capital abroad. This is a mere bugbear, to be found only in the imagination of the author, and at direct variance too with one of his indis putable dogmas. What country ever was so taxed as Great Britain during the war with France ? The income-tax alone was three times heavier than it is now. Did capital emigrate on that account? Not in the least, and M'Cur,Locu is our authority, for he is of opinion that all taxes, when judiciously imposed, and not carried to an op pressive height, occasion an increase of industry and economy, and ' but rarely encroach ore capital.' " Nay, lie deems it pro bable that " the capital of this country, notwithstanding the enormous expenditure occasioned by the American and late French wars, is about as great as it would have been had we enjoyed profound peace since 1770." What is to be done with a writer like this? It is impossible to bind Mr. M'CuLLoclt to anything, for what he advances as an indisputable fact in one place, he contradicts in another, and leaves the reader at an utter loss to know what he means by " true" and what he means by " false." The perusal of the work has only more confirmed us in the opinion of Mr. COBDEN, who, in animadverting on M'CuLLocit's notes and comments on the " Wealth of Nations," said that he was a good collector of statistical facts, but a miserable political economist, and in attempting to elucidate the theories of the immortal ADAM Ssimr, had "only made that obscure which before was clear." Madrid journals of the 7th inst. announce that after a trial of several days LOPEZ, MADOZ, CORTINA, and others, ac cused of participation in the revolt at Alicante, had been ho nourably acquitted. The Gazette publishes two royal decrees , one reducing the duty on potash to ten per cent, ad valorem and the other making certain regulations relative to the im portation of cinnamon. Some business was done on the Bourse at last. The Three per Cents. were quoted at 323 cash, but nothing was done in the Five per Cents. Most of the Paris journals advert in strong terms to the comments made by certain London papers on the late dis asters in Algeria, and the general impression appears to be that, in England these events have excited universal joy. Such is far from the fact. The public disapprove of the system of warfare carried on by the French—of their razzias of cattle, destruction of property, and carrying off women and children—and regret that the brave troops of France should be instruments of a system contrary to the usages of modern war; but, at the same time, lament that these troops should be made the victims of a course of policy for which the Government are responsible, and which, if not stopped, will lead to the extermina tion of one or other of the contending parties. We admit that Koine English journals are to a certain extent liable to the charge, and that they have indiscreetly seized the opportunity to make attacks on the French at the time when they are least fitted to listen to advice or reason. The Journal des Debuts, that has long manfully rebutted the attacks of the Opposition against England, is even compelled in this instance to give way, and join in reprobation of articles which only tend to prolong and increase national antipathies. We give an extract from the article, at the same time protesting against the sweeping charge of the Opposition, which includes the whole of the London papers : `‘ We are grieved," says the Ministerial paper," to be obliged to notice the detestable spirit which animates, in the present circumstances, nearly the whole of the British press. Their language forms a contrast, not very creditable to them, with that used by the French press at the time of the disasters of the English army in Asia. At that period we expressed the greatest sympathy for the fate of so many brave soldiers who had fallen victims to savage treason. To-day, the Eng lish journals can only compassionate traitors. Let them triumph at their ease. We prefer the undisguised manifes tation of their joy to expressions of hypocritical philan thropy. The French who fell in battle died nobly and glo riously, and require no illusory condolences. We will not offend their memory, nor dishonour their triumphant fall, by seeking, in the history of the English nation, all the crime which the scourge of GOD should have visited and punished. Such reprisals would be unworthy of us. But, when we be hold certain organs of public opinion in England thus trans form acts of shameful perfidy into providential chastisement, we shall in future be able to appreciate the extent of their political morality, and the sincerity of those Christian senti ments which they proclaim on all occasions with so much fervour." These remarks, coming from such a source, are greatly to be regretted. It is not for the interest of this country to quarrel with France, and when the French see such charges made by a Government paper, they cannot fail to believe that our object is to take advantage of their difficulties and provoke a war. A report prevailed at Marseilles as well as Toulon, that another French column, consisting of 200 men, had been surrounded by the Arabs, and forced to lay down their arms. Another version declares that this affair related to the column of General CAVAIGXAC, which, although 800 in number, had surrendered, after having lost three-fourths of the men. The following account of this event appears in the Sema. pliore de Marseilles of the 10th " Just as the Ville de Bordeaux was on the point of quitting Algiers, rumours of a new check experienced by our troops began to circulate. Persons who, by their position and relations with the superior cfficers of the army in the province of Oran, arc in a condition to be well informed, had just learned the following sad particulars, which were unfortunately confirmed to one of the pas sengers of the Ville de Bordeaux by one of the chiefs of the naval department at Algiers :—The garrison of a small camp had applied to General Cavaignac for a reinforcement, which its numerical weakness, in the centre of a country in open revolt, and traversed by the numerous bands of Abd-el-Kader, render indispensable. The General not wishing to reduce his effective force sent, with that object, taken from the different hospitals, 200 men, who were considered sufficiently recovered for active service. A detachment of Zouaves was ordered to accompany them. The small column had only marched a few leagues when it was surrounded by an immense multitude of Arabs belonging to the army of Abd-el. Kader. All resistance being impossible, the 200 soldiers were compelled to lay down their arms, and became the prisoners of Abd-el-Kader. This Is the first instance, since the conquest, in which a party of French soldiers surrendered to the Arabs." At the hour of post on Monday no such accounts had reached the Government. The journals still continue the attacks on BUGEAUD'S insolent letter. The following article which appears in the Algerie, a Paris journal, is the best we have seen on the subject and makes some disclosures en titled to credit : " General Lamoriciere has written a confidential letter to Mar shal Bugeaud on the state of Algeria, in which he speaks of the gravity ofthe late events, but adds —` It is, however, on such great occasions that men of mind show themselves.' Marshal Bugeaud hawks this letter throughout Paris as an avowal by General de Lamoriciere of his own insufficiency. This is too ungrateful. It we allude to such intrigues, it is because they have become public. and are revolting to all men of right feeling, who are constantly hearing repeated that without Marshal Bugeaud Algeria is lost. In a letter which has been communicated to 200 persons —a letter from the bend of Marshal Bugeaud, General de Lamoriciere and General Cavalgnac are accused of having, by the faults they have committed, been the causes of the late events. The one is reproached for having suffered the garrison of Djemma Ghazaouat to make a sortie, when it ought to have defended the place by re. mining within the walls; of having scattered the troops of his subdivision in detachments of five hundreds, so as to enable the enemy to cut them off in detail. The other is rebuked for having created small posts, which paralysed the action of the eight or ten battalions at El Kamis, Bel OA Bel Abbes, Daia, Djemma Gha saouat, Lalla Maghrina, and the rest. It Is impossible that these general officers should remain ignorant of the blame which an am. bilious vanity has thrown upon them; it Is impossible for men who so nobly devote their lives not to cry out when they learn that their services have been so unjustly appreciated. Marshal Bugeaud has forgotten that he left Algiers on the 4th of September, and that it was only four days after his departure that the revolt near Cherchell broke out; only eight days after in the Dahra ; onl3 fifteen days after in the Flitta ; and only eighteen days after his return into France that the disaster of Djemma Ghazmuat happened. Marshal Bugeaud has forgotten that if he had been free he would now be with ten or fifteen thousand men In the Kab}lia of Djerdjeral and that if unfortunately our troops had been engaged in this insensate expedition, Abd-el-Kader would be now, as he was in 1839, at the gates of Algiers. Mar shal Bugeaud has forgotten that it was he who maintained the or ganisation of the Arab country just as it was made by Abd- el. Kaeer—an organisation directly against us ; he has forgotten that it was he who created and has maintained the chiefs that have now betrayed us ; he has forgotten that the return of Abd-el-Kader had been long in preparation ; that it was foreseen and predicted by all men acquainted with Algeria; that he, Marshal Bugeaud, in his last report as commandant- in.chief of the province of Oran, an flounced that the daita had been reinforced with 6,000 ter.ts; and that he, this general officer, feeling the gravity of the state o _ . things, required to be invested with sovereign powers, in order to be able to fulfil his duties as Governor-General. Yes, great faults have been committed ! But they I ave bean by Marshal Bu geaud, by the men who surrounded him, and misled him to his ruin. The evil is done, and irreparably done, if Warshal Bugeaud is to be charged with the reiredy. Restored to Algiers, Marshal Bugeaud will not obey the Government, whose orders he would not defer his departure to receive, and whose blindness he loudly proclaims. Marshal Bugeaud cannot rely upon the concur rence of General de Lamoriciere or General Cavaignac, for they will never consent to remain under the orders of a man who has so unjustly misrepresented their services. Let a telegraphic dispatch be sent to sic p Marshal Bugeaud at Marseilles. Let II .a Ministry confide the Government of Algiers to a man eminent in position, popular with the natives from his justice and prudence, already rendered illustrious by his deeds of arms, and the Minister of War, as well as the brave general officers who have served their country with so much brilliant valour, with so much steady devotion for Steen years, m iy then give all their support to the new Governor- General, without making any sacrifice of their dignity. Wth such servants as Lamoriciere, Changarnier, Bedeau, and Cavaignac France will r asily prove to Marshal Bugeaud that he is not indis. pensable." Marshal SOULT had at last made up his mind to return to Paris, and was expected there on the 15th. A telegraphic despatch had been sent to the Minister of the Interior, who was at MirAbeau, ordering his return to Paris. The greatest activity prevailed in the dock-yard at Torsion, to get ready three steam-frigates, the Orenoque, Labrador, and Albatros, to transport to Algeria the 10,000 men and 1,000 horses which arc destined to reinforce the army there. The fol'owing are miscedaneous extracts from the Conti nental papers : " A letter from Vienna, Oct. 5, in the Journal de Frankfort, says The Bourse was agitated by a panic ,d the news of the disorders which burst out in Italy. Enormous sums were lost by those speculating for the account. The Government, it is said, has come in aid of the Bourse with considerable sums.'—A Berlin letter of the 7th, in the same journal, says:— 'Yesterday, one of our first banking.houses received from Vienna intelligence that about thirty persons, who had speculated in railway shares, and were not able to fulfil their engagements, had disappeared suddenly. These persons, it is said, are for the most part Jews and persons of little .importance, nevertheless their disappearance has caused a considerable fall in the market. The Austrian Government had long foreseen this, and, in consequence, had taken measures relative to the safety of the bank. It is true that these steps have produced a momentary want of money, but they will prevent new disorders and new losses. Similar measures were taken antecedently with full success by the Prussian Govern ment, and since then the frenzy of jobbing has considerably dimi nished.'" The Augsburgh Gazette has the followingfrom Athens, 28th of September : " There was a great agitation here on Monday last, in conse quence of an article published in a journal, calling on the Greeks to rally round the King, whose life was threatened by murderers. It stated that the writer of the article had in his possession proofs of a detestable conspiracy, and that the 15th of October was fixed upon to carry the scheme into effect. The journal in which it appeared is regarded as the organ of the Ministry. The editor was obliged some years since to absent himself, in order to escape prosecution, but has since returned. A very great sensation has been caused by this, and several of the Deputies of the Chamber have demanded that be should be brought to trial for it."

Dolby said that he was a City policeman, and on the pre vious evening went to the Surrey theatre with his friend. About a quarter past one o'clock this morning, as they were leaving the theatre, they went into the above public-house, and called for a pipit of hall-and-half. While there, Hodnott asked his friend Elsworthy, whether he knew any person in the " City Detective Force," at the same time Lyons sud denly struck him a severe blow in the mouth, and snatched the ends of his stock from his neck, on which was fixed a gold union pin. At the same tune he lost his watch, but he could not swear who was the party that took it, as he bad not recovered from the blow. Lyons made his escape, and Hadnott ran out of the house, but was captured within a few yards of the Borough-m.d School. After he was conveyed to the station. house, they went in search of Lyons, and found him in his lodgings. The ends of the stock and part of the union-pin ws also found there. Elsworthy said he was a clerk, and after they left the theatre he accompanied Dolby into the above public• house. While he was in conversation with Hodnott, Lyons struck Dolby and snatched his stock, and as he was in the act of assisting him, Hodnott struck him two blows on the face. They had nothing more to drink than a pint of half-and half. Brown, the landlord of the house, said that be saw the com plainants enter his house and call for a pint of half-and-half, and two glasses of spirits for some females they had with them. The prisoners knowing the girls, were rather jealous, and some words ensued, which turned to blows. He did not zzee any robbery committed. In answer to fir. Trail, witness said that the prisoners frequented his house, but he did not know what employment they followed. The complainants denied being in company with any fe males, or calling for any liquor. All they had was a pint of half-and-half. A constable of the M division said that the house was fre quented by very bad characters, and that the prisoners were well known as " noblers." Mr. TRAIL', said that it was case which ought to go before a jury. He should, therefore, commit them for trial. LAMENTABLE Suicina.—This morning an act of determined suicide was committed near the powder magazine, Hyde-park. Shortly before ten o'clock a well dressed man was noticed to walk from the direction of Cum. berland-gate ; his manner attracted the attention of some persons, who suspected he was insane. On arriving near the magazine, he drew a pistol out of his waistcoat and discharg e d the contents through his he a d an d immediately fell; several persons ran to the spot, but so effectual was the act that life was extinct, the whole of the upper part of the head being shattered to pieces. The body was conveyed to the barracks on the north bank of the Serpentine, and from papers found on the unfortunate gentleman's person, there is every reason to suppose that his name is Elliott, and that his residence is Porchester-terrace, Bayswater. A large quantity of papers connected with several railways in diffeieut parts of the kingdom was found in his pockets. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO SIR WILLIAM CHAMBERS, BART.—This morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, an accident of a very serious nature happened to Sir William Chambers, Bart. The worthy Baionet had only a few minutes left his residence in Seymour-street, Bryanstin square, when, in riding up Gloucester-place, his horse took fright from some cause, and went off in a furious gallop. Sir William, being very aged, was unable to stop its speed, and it continued its eareer as far as the New-road, when the animal came in contact with one of the Paddington omnibuses. The collision threw Sir William off into the road, the horse continuing his progress towards Paddington. Sir William was removed to the house of Mr. Spencer, surgeon, of Alsop's buildings, New-road, when it was ascertained that his collar. bone was dislocated, and he has otherwise received serious injuries. He still remains at the house of M r . Sp encer , where every attention and medical skill is rendered him. DIVORCE.-Lin the Bristol Consistory Court, on Friday, before Dr. Phillimore, judgment was given in the case of "Davis v. Davis," which was a suit brought by Jane Davis against her husband, William Davis, for the re storation of conjugal rights. Mr. Harmer, proctor for the wife, said, that after reading the evidence, he could not deny that adultery had taken place, and had, therefore, only to submit to the judgment of the Court. Mr. Bridges, proctor fur the husband, prayed a judgment of divorce. Dr. Phillimore, on summing up the case, said that the marriage of the parties took place in Bedminster, in 1832 ; the maiden name of the wife was Durbin. In opposition to the suit of the wife, the husband had entered what was called a cross suit, and pleaded that his wife had been guilty of adultery. The evidence, apart from the admission of the proctor for the wife clearly proved the truth of the allegation. The Learned Doctor recapitulated the evidence, proving that the wife had, during the temporary imprisonment, in 1835, of the husband, committed adultery with one Abraham Fuller; had subsequently lived with Edward He lder as his mistress, going by the name of Mrs. Whitford ; and, as late as 1844, had lived with James Dally, as his wife. Under these dr cunDtances, he had no hesitation in pronouncing for the divorce. AYLESBURY, OCT. 14.---The Michaelmas sessions for this county commenced this morning before Sir Thomas Aubrey, Bart., chairman, and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar contains the names of thirty-six prisoners, and most of the offences are of a trivial nature. The new gaol is in a very forward state, and it is expected it will be occupied early in the summer. The sessions for the county of North ampton commence on Wednesday next, when a new chair man will he elected in the room of the lamented Lord Spencer, his loss will be deeply felt in the county, and it will be difficult to find a successor, as chairman, which cffice he so ably filled for so many years, and always gave general satisfaction. The Hon. Captain Leicester, whose life had been at one time despaired of, in consequence of the rupture of a blood-vessel, was yesterday morning pronounced to be out of danger. _ _ A sale of the paintings, the propvrty of the lat e Joseph Bonaparte, ex-King of Spain, recently took place in the United States. The gross amount of the sale'was 20,000 dolls. • A • '~ l OTICE is hereby given that the GUARAN TEE SOCIETYhas REMOVED from 2a, Poultry, to the premises lately occupied by the London Assurance Corporation, 19, Birchin-lane, Cornhill.

Our readers are probably aware that Denmark has been for some time hawking about her colony of Chris tianberg, on the coast of Guinea, for sale. Finding no native willing to deal for it, the Danish Minister has actually offered it, so says report, to a City capitalist for 80,0001. A better way would be to put it up for auction. In fact, the Times has already, in its leader of Tuesday, suggested not only the auction, but the auctioneer. It is but fitting that Robins, who has sold many a kingdom in detail, should at last have an opportunity of selling one in the mass. In allusion to this subject, and on the supposition that other nations may be inclined to follow the example of Denmark, it says—" One almost envies Mr. Robins this new province fiar his pen. After taking his pastime in the bucolic sphere of parks and ”illas, with what ecstacy will he strike up his Paulo inajova uanamus, and soar into the more congenial element, principalities, and empires! Very soon he will fascinate the gloating eyes of the capitalist with—' Eligible Investment— A first-rate colony, on the coast of Madagascar, with a magnificent capital and numerous splendid cities, in the midst of luxuriant plains, studded with thriving villages. The natives are peaceful, industrious, and attached to their rulers. The taxes, when the various colonial es tablishments have been paid, leave a handsome surplus, sufficient for the support of a sovereign, who may call himself emperor or sultan with perfect propriety and safety. By-and-by an extensive empire, a snug prin cipality, a gem of a dukedom, a sweet little pashalic, may be procured on reasonable terms by any young gentleman who has imbibed a taste for good govern ment from the speculations of Plato, Fenelon, or Jeremy Bentham, and who is anxious to exchange an inglorious patrimony on the sedgy banks of the Bedford Level, or in the vulgar Three per Cents., for a place among the rulers of the earth and in the hearts of a grateful people. An estate in Yorkshire, that can boast of nothing but those odious common -places, a goad rental, a substantial and commodious mansion, and a well -stocked manor, will look rather flat by the sid e o f a property in the Isle of Madagascar, withsovereign rights and every description of civil and ecclesiastical supremacy.

Yester day forenoon, between eleven and twelve o'clock, while the gentlemen cadets were leaving their barracks with their light 3-pounder guns for exercise on the Common, pulling the carriages with drag ropes in the usual manner, one of them, named Francis Place, slipped on passing over a slight ele vation, and falling down, the wheel of the carriage passed over his head before it could be stopped. He was immedi ately conveyed to the Ordnance Hospital, to obtain surgical attendance and to ascertain the extent of the injury he had received. ~_ Now ready in Svo., price only 5e., VOL. V. of M.

K. 4 1111 4 01 .."'.4.)(-I‘'. fliL LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1844,, In the last number of the Edinburgh Review there is an ar. title on a work by Mr. M'CuLLocit;called "A Treatise on ' the Principles and Practical Influence of Taxation and the Funding System." This is a comprehensive title for a book published in a country that surpasses all others in taxation and in the amount of its public debt, and from the introduc tory remarks of the reviewer we anticipated much informa tion on these important subjects, and entertained hopes that political economy at last had discovered some means by which taxation might be lightened, and the enormous debt which oppresses us might be diminished. The exordium would lead to such an inference. The author is extolled to the skies by the writer. " This work," he says, " embraces one of the most extensive and pre-eminently the most prac tical department of the all-important science to which it belongs; and it comes to us recommended by the authorship of one of the most distinguished culti vators of that science." And further on—" It need hardly be said that a writer at once so deeply versed in scientific deductions, and so thoroughly conversant with statistical de tails, is peculiarly qualified to meet such a subject as taxa tion, in which conclusions drawn from abstract premises and general principles continually demand the correction of prac tical knowledge." We had looked at the work and tried to after derive sonic advantage from it , but in vain. Thi s m i s h ap we attributed to our ignorance of political we, olit ‘ i_ca , economy, th l erefor and the peculiar phrases which M r. MCuLLocit uses in conveying hhiigshprae in sentimentsi a journal to the e al o public, sand celebrated for its ability and especially for its numerous articles on the princi ples which regulate the economy of trade, corn conversant versed t in scientific l merce, and manufactures , expected to find some light thrown on the chaos o f confusion, and to behold at a g made b y thoroughly oneu so deeply h statistical details." But miserable was our disappointment, ance the h e discoveries deductions and so for the reviewer seems as much bewildered as ourselves. He, in fact, can make nothing of the work, and when he begins to analyse its parts he only points out faults, or de fects, or contradictions. In the very first page we find that the work contains no great amount of absolute novelty, and that so much deep study and careful observation have sug gested but little in the way of practical amendment; and in the second page the writer boldly speaks out, and as serts that " it would not be easy altogether to recon cile in Mr. DPCuLLocif the theorist with the statisti cian." He gives a good reason, too, for this left-handed blow at "so able and experienced a writer." M‘CuLLocir, in alluding to the condition of the working classes, states that during the last twenty- or thirty years, notwithstanding a considerab!e reduction of taxation, "their condition has certainly not in any degree been improved, hut has rather, we incline to think, been sensibly deteriorated." To which his eulogist sarcastically replies :—" In some of Mr. M‘CuLLocif's previous statistical inquiries he seems, if we recollect rightly, to have proved that during a period in which the population of England has doubled, its agricul tural produce, chiefly for the use of man, has quadrupled; and this although, in tho interval, England has become an importing instead of an exporting country; from which it follows that an Englishman at this day eats twice as much as his ancestor eighty years ago—a fact difficult to digest in itself; more difficult still when we are informed that for thirty years the condition of the great bulk of the people has been falling off." This shows that political economists, as well as liars, ought to have good memories. Throughout the whole review of the work similar criticism prevails. We do not find one principle laid down which bears the test of examina tion; and though the writer, to keep up the appearance with which he commenced, throws in now and then a little highly dissatisfied with a " soft sals.dur,",he is evidently pro duction which comes forth with such high pretensions. W e are not surprised at this, for really it contains nothing new except staggering dogmas, without any attempt at elucida tion or the slightest proof. It a bounds with all the stock phrases of political economists, and expresses a common idea or the plainest proposition in such a complication of high-sounding words and peculiar phraseology, that ordi nary readers cannot arrive at the lllcaning without trans lating the paragraph, and sometimes the whole chapter, into plain English, and after sifting it are astonished to find' no population increas ing with app a lli ng rap idi ty, " n th a i t n u g ra b l u o t r eh n a e ff c — ess n a o r t y e p v ri en ce on of e lgarbaoinuro; wheat. „ Such ph rases the great maj or ity," " the horo" as these meet y ou a t every t urn —" incidence of taxes," " th e taxable incomes," " f un d s , mor t gag e3 ' capital, industry," and stem," " net or stchoepeirorfentifieedisayble lielotism of fifty other terms of the same stamp, to which however we should not object, if they were used in such a way as to pro duce any good effect, or afford the least consolation for the enormous taxes under which the population, and especially the working population, labours. But they all come to nothing. Population is increasing at a fearful rate; WATT and ARKWRIGIIT, and Others so celebrated for their wondrous inventions and discoveries, are the great culprits; even the poor Irish are blamed for coming over to this coun try, and reducing the comforts of the English population. The command of the CREATOR " to increase and multiply " is to be disobeyed, though the world is not yet half-peopled ; the condition of the labouring classes is every day becoming IVIOISEY and ~.............,....
