London—Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, Mills and Co. Huddersfield--The Halifax and Huddersfield Union Banking Com pany SOLICITORS. Mr. Wiliam Barker Messrs. Brook and Freeman 1 New-street, Huddersfield. The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will coin- Melee at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds. Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railway's, and from Huddersfield the proposed lin, will proceed by way of Hillhouse' Birchencliffe, anti Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stahtland and Greet'and, through 11,.rk'sland, the Vale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter minus of the Liverpool and Bury' line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing pop•dation, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages which it pr. Bents as a through line, pass through a succession of val leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought Irons a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become eh ' solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter ing into any at rangements with existing railway companjes that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett ! and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Caitiff and Co., Messrs.

The danger of a lack of subsistence for millions of our poarer fallow -countrymen is no longer a figurative allu sion, an imposing figure to point the indignant declamations of Anti-Co-n -law eloquence. It is imminent—it is impending—it must be encountered. But with what Ct , n,ervative provisions ? What shall be the means of feeding —the principle of sustentation— to be opposed to it? Now, is it possible—not to roll back the tide of failure which sets in upon us from every potato growing country of Europe, but—to remove thesc millions from the instant hazard they are incurring of being en gulphed and swept away by a calamity of so vast and over whelming a nature? We answer, thus—" Cheap and wholesome corn must re place dear and, diseased potatoes." To let in cheap and wholesome corn for this just, this humane, this politic, this indispensable, this sacred 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 sufficiently low prices. Now is the time. The end of October has overtaken us. The cold and bracing atmosphere which assures us of its presence, reminds us, too, of the earlier period at which the whiter sets in upon those shores, adjacent to which are the vast corn-growing lands that have long been the granary of northern Europe. There is not any redundancy of opportunity left us to issue orders for, and receive in return, ample consignments of foreign corn, before the reign of winter commences with us. Here, then, we have, on theone hand, appalling, inevitable scarcity, not to say famine, for many British millions, following in the wake of this failure of the potato crop, with the sure but noiseless stepof destiny itself, so long as the present corn-laws continue to interpose their prohibitory and penal restrictions on the poor consumer, in order to protect the wealthier home grower. On the other (given, the single condition of even suspending for a limited time, though we may hold that the' suspension should be permanent, those corn laws), we have a certain and prompt influx of grain, which is truly, as well as poetically, said to form the staff of life, poured into our market. We treat the question as fairly a new, not as an economic, not as a fiscal, notes a party question, but as a question of life -necessity, if we may so term it. It is the physical claims of the millions to be heard against the private interests of a few hundreds of re luctant landowners. For our own parts we are at all times un friendly to abrupt and disorganising legislation. All Caanges on which it is necesary, either at common law, or on the principles of the Constitution, to take the pleasure of the Legislature, ought, as a genera! rule, never to be precipitated. Here is a condition of timings sui generis, not to be governed by any existing analogies, beyond the control of all precedents, as such an exigency superior in its nature, extent, and conse quences, to the restraints of legislative systems. The only safe course to be taken with regard to it is also the only im mediate one. The Prime Minister must assume, if he would avert responsibility for the catastrophe which the advent of winter must otherwise bring with it, the grave poli tical responsibility of advising the Crown to issue an Order in Council, virtually suspending the whole machinery of sliding scales and present prices, and price -adjusted duties. He must make the importation of foreign corn free for some weeks to come. .It is true this proceeding may still more embitter the resentment already kindled in the ranks of the landed interest against him. Better for him, and far them, that such a result be challenged at once, than that both themselves and he should incur the more terrible resentment of a needlessly starving and justly irritated people. It is true that such an Order in Council will be jealously re garded by other classes of the community, on grounds of less selfish and more constitutional displeasure than those of the landed interest, at such an, intervention with the working, of Acts of Parliament. But he has only to carry in with him on the first day i f the session a Bill of Indemnity, and it will be carried by the concurrent acclamations of three fourths of the people of the United Kingdom. By the Levant mail we have received intelligence from Constantinople to the 7th inst., Alexandria the 10th, Athens the 9th, and Malta to the 15th. It appears from some ac counts that a misunderstanding had taken place between the French Minister at Constantinople and the Porte, relative to the government of Syria. Some time since a French priest had been shot by one of the Druse chiefs, and the French Consul at Bcyrout had demanded of the Turkish authorities of that place that the culprit (named Anon NEKED) should be shot, without a trial, in the presence of the crew of a French vessel of war. The Porte objected to this, and de clared that the accused should have a fair trial, and if condemned receive the punishment due according to the Turkish laws. A trial accordingly took place and all the members on the commission declared that there was no evi dence to show that ABoe NhkED Vas' the murderer of the PADRE CARLI, or bad participated otherwise than having been present cammanding the attack on the village, along with other Druse Sheikhs; and here the matter rests. The proposition of the French Consul, to say the least of it, was contrary to all rules of justice. Any Consul who could demand that a man should be put to death without trial, would in all civilised countries be put down for a madman. Accounts from Athens state that:considerable excitement prevailed in the Chamber of Representatives, and that the Ministry had only been able to carry the budget of extraordinary expendi ture by a majority of one vote. The Moniteur Grec gives, however, a satisfactory account of the state of the country generally. MEIIE3IET Ata left Cairo on the 4th inst., to be present at the marriage of his daughter with CamEn PACIIA. Sir JAMES EMERSON TENNENT arrived at Alexandria on the ith from Eng!and, and contemplated visiting Thebes and Upper Egypt before his departure for Ceylon. Not a word is said in the intelligence from Malta respecting the yellOw fever, said to have broken out in the island. The French vessel which brought the news to Marseilles reached that place on the 16th, while we have news to the 15th. The report, there fore, is entirely unfounded. We have received Madrid journals of the. 16th, and as they make no further mention of the collision said to have taken place between the civic guard and certain of the _ . inhabitants of Gerona, we are inclined to think that it was greatly exaggerated, or without foundation. From all accounts the people seem disposed to submit quietly to the new income-tax. A rumour rrevailed that it was the in tention of the Government to reduce to a considerable extent the present military establishment, and we can easily be lieve that the Finance Minister, as well as some of his colleagues who are labouring to restore public credit, would gladly 'adopt such a measure, but without the consent of NAI{VAEZ we fear they can do nothing. The garrison of Math id has been greatly increased lately to keep order, it is said, during the municipal elections. Some transactions took place on the Bourse, but to no great amount. The Five per Cents. were done at 22 for cash, but the Threes were: not quoted. The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and share I market, at the close of business on Wednesday, are much I more favourable. The panic appears to have completely sub sided, and prices were gradually recovering. . The Three per Cents. had advanced about 25c., and the FiveS 20c. A con siderable improvement had also taken place in railway shares. The papers are still occupied with discussions on the retirement of Marshal SOULT, of which little doubt now remains. It is only a que'tion of time, and that too very short, for the veteran feels himself oppressed with the infir mities of old age, and is desirous to have some repose before he clOses his long and active life. It appears that he will resign the portfolio of the war department as soon as a tem • porary successor can be found, but retain for some time yet the office of President of the Council. The following extract from the Journal des Debats warrants these statements "The report which has been current that Marshal Soult in tendEd quitting the War Department, which he has directed with so much ability during the last five years, has given birth to a number of absurd suppositions. The Opposition journals have announced with the greatest assurance that the Ministry was dis membered. We believe we can affirm that the Cabinet has never been mote united ; that all its measures, including the most recent ones, have been taken with a perfect accord, and that, in what concerns In particular the President of the Council, all the motives attributed to his desire to retire are pure invention. Had Marshal Soult consulted only his own inclinations, and the want of repose which his long and glorious labours entitle him to claim, his colleagues would some time back have• been deprived or his aid. Several months ago the President of the Council expressed a desire to be relieved of the burden, which he believed had become too heavy for his strength. The request of his colleagues, and of the King, have determined the illustrious Marshal to defer the accomplishment of his resolution. It is possible that lately, also, the President of the Council may have again manifested his desire in a more pressing manner ; but the King and the Cabinet are to well acquainted with the value of the counsels of his old and profound experience, and the advantages that his services confer on the country, not to endeavour by every means to keep him at he head of affairs. Marshal Soult, in his long and glorious career, has too largely paid his debt to his country to be refused the repose necessary to his age and his health; but we hope it will be pos. Bible to conciliate his legitimate demands with the wishes spf the King And of his colleagues, and that, whilst he lays down a part of the functions which weigh the most directly on him, the illus trious Marshal will retain in the Council the eminent position which he has occupied so legitimately since the formation of the Cabinet. It is not at a moment when the counsels of his eipe. ricnce may be of greater utility than ever ,that Marshal Soult will deprive his country of them ; and we have every reason to believe that he will continue to afford to the Cabinet of October 29, not only the high authority of his name, but, still more, the strongest support." It was the general belief that Marshal BUGEAUD would be appointed his successor, but as he could not assume office till he had settled affairs in Algeria, a temporary appointment would be made. Several names had been mentioned, among others General LA PLACE, General PREVAL, and General SEBASTIANL Some additional news had been received from Africa. The following appears in the Moniteur Algerian of the 15th inst.:— " Our affairs are in a gond way Ist the subdivision of Medea!). Ben Salem, who is ill, is said to have quitted the camp at the Cherift Several douairs have abandoned the latter, and have come to solicit the Amen, The mountaineers are less and less' deposed in favour of the insurgents. The column of Setiff was on the 22d ult, at three days' march from that of General Marcy, who was encamped at Oued.Getnnark. Nothing important has taken place in the subdivision of Milianah since our last. In the subdivision of Orleansville, Colonel Saint Amand has visited the post of the Khamis, in the country of the Beni Ouraghs. After haling left a reinforcement of 200 men et 'this rut, the Colonel being informed that the Beni Ouraghs had revolted, and were waiting for Win on. the Oued Sensig, immediately merched thither, and on the 11th, at six in the morning, was in the presence of more than 3,000 insurgents. A very sharp combat ensued. Our cavalry acted, as usual, with great vigour, and the enemy left a considerable number of dead in our hands. The last courier from Oran brings no news of interest. General de Lamoriciere had sent no accounts later than the 4th, from which we infer that he was still marching forward, and that no engagement had taken place." Another jouraal, published at, Algiers, states that Colonel Glitz, who was in the subdivision of Mostaganem and Mas cara, having heard that contingents had been furnished to Botr-MAza by the inhabitants of Calab, proceeded rapidly against that town, took possession of it almost without firing a gun, and gave it up to pillage for two hours. Two hundred and fifty Arabs were killed ; only the women and children were spared. The same paper confirms the report in the Toulouse journal, which we pub lished yesterday, of the assassination of Captain BILLET and some of his companions in the neighbourhood of Zebdou. It says, " A new act of treachery by the Arabs has just cost the lives of two excellent officers and some of our brave soldiers. M. BILLET, chef de hatailon of the 41st of the line and com mandant of the post of Zebdou, had gone to visit the Caid or one of the neighbouring tribes, who had sent for him. He was accompanied by M. MATHIEU DE DOM-BASLE, lieutenant of the ZotiaveF., charged with Arab affairs, and was escorted by five hussars of the 2d regiment. They were all assas sinated in the tribe." The Constitutionnel, in reference to o the expenses of the new expedition, says :—"ltappears that it will cost 20,000,000 f. The expenses of the war against Morocco amounted to 20,000,000 f. .Nor can we be certain to be let off for that sum. But that will depend alogether on the chances of war, and the diffi culties which the capture of the ex-Emir will present. Should he resist longer than is expected, should the ruses which he will most probably employ to escape from us be multiplied and prolonged, new credits must be demanded under pain of having tire campaign rendered abortive, and the success of the soldiers compromised." There is no ex aggeration here. When the twenty millions of francs are expended. We believe ADD- EL-KADEr. will be as Tar out of reach as ever. The 1110N/tear _contains a royal onion ! Dance, calling out the fourteen thousand conscripts of 1844, who had been allowed to remain at home; and the Journal des Debuts announces that the adjudication of the grater part of the railways, voted last session, would take place before the 15th of December, and that in a short time the Finance Minister would fix the days for adjmlica. tion. A private letter states that the French Government had received a telegraphic dispatch announcing the arrival of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and also the Emperor of AusTRL', at Milan, on the 18th. The following are miscellaneous ex tracts from the papers : " On Monday morning, when the King set out from St. Cloud for Chantilly, on arriving at the Porte d'Orleans, at the entrance into the Bois de Boulogne, an officer of the escort, belonging to the 7th Hussars, wished to pass at the same time as the carriage, in order to mask the window, but the space was too narrow to allow both to pass abreast. The officer was in consequence violently crushed by the wheels, and had his thigh much torn. His horse, which was also wounded, was borne to the ground with his rider. The officer, notwithstanding, wished to continue his way, but the King, who had given orders to stop, would not permit it. The wound will not, it is thought, prove dangerous. " A letter from Florence states that the family of Prince Jerome Bonaparte has just been afflicted with a most cruel misfortune. The Prince de Montfort, the eldest son of the ex-King of West phalia, and brother of the Prince, who came to Paris this year, has been suddenly struck with mental alienation. He held in the army of the King of Wurtemberg, his uncle, the rank of Colonel, and it was at Stuttgard that the malady declared itself. He has been removed trom Germany to Florence to his family, but there is not, it is said, much hope of cure. Captain Olivier, the newly-appointed Governor of Senegal, is to take his departure from Brest in the course of a week for the seat of his Government, in the steamer Phoque, which will remain at his disposal,. and explore the river as high as the cataracts of Govine. " The Corsican journals publish a long account of a dinner given by some of the principal inhabitants of Ajaccio, in honour of the visit of M. Odilon Barrot, who had arrived there a few days previously. In returning thanks for the toast to his health, M. Barrot made an animated speech, in which he informed the com pany that his visit to Corsica was for the purpose of making him. self better acquainted wits its wants and its resources, and eX. pressed his indignation at the attempts which had sometimes been made to describe Corsica rather as a foreign colony than an essential part of the French kingdom. On the 30th ult. M. Barrot left Ajaccio for a tour in the interior." On the I'aris Bourse on Wednesday the Three per Cents closed at 82f.

M ;ming -32 .minutes after 7 I Evening 10 minutes after 8. iv ling It LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 1845. The intelligence brought by the Overland Mail from India, possesses little interest. The country was perfectly tranquil, the Punjaub remained in the same state, Sinde was healthy, and preparations were in progress both at Bombay and Cal cutta for constructing important lines of rail Way, and connect ing by that means of communication some of the chief towns in our Indian possessions. The accounts from China, how ever, are important. A general impressien prevails among the British residents in that quarter that Hong-Kong and its new governor, Mr. DAVIS, have Wined out complete failures ; that he is unable to compete with the representative of F►ance, and that unless a successor is speedily appointed, or some other effective step taken to counteract foreign in fluence, the inland of Chusan will in a short time be handed over to the French Government. It is therefore proposed that negotiations should be entered into with the Chinese, with a view to keep pusession of that valuable island. We know nothing of the charges brought against the French agent, but we are confident the British Government will take no steps without mature consideration, and that they will observe with strict faith all the conditions of the treaty entered into with the Emperor of CHINA. We never thought Hong-Kong a fit station, but if it is to be given up in ex change for another, that must be done by friendly and honour able negotiation. We must at the same time observe, that the letters, English as well as French, which come from Canton are deeply tinged by party feeling, and ought, there fore, to be received with caution. The potato " murrain,"—as the disease which so fatally infects the most important of bread stuffs is well termed, we see, in the north—is assuming every day a more formidable character. Its ravages are manifesting themselves in a still enlarging circle, and with the running out of the season the disease assumes a more virulent and dangerous aspect. The phenomena of the disease itself are as various as their origin ia doubtful. The only certain and invariable condition ap pears to be that the presence of the disease is always accom panied by the indication of a fungus (referred by Professor MonnKx, according to a Brussels paper, to the genus of " botrydis," or chutes). But whether this fungus be the original cause or the organic effect of the disease, (notwithstanding - the minute investigation to which the question has been submitted in this country, in Belgium, in France, and in Holland), is still an unresolved problem. We know, at any rate, that were it even satisfac torily determined, it would now be too late to attempt the application of any remedy that could arrest the progress of this vegetable malady in respect of the present year's crop, wherever it has exhibited itself. It is fortunate that the earlier portions of the potato crop, especially that which was sown in dry and new S oils, or well drained lands, yielded re markably fine and abundant fruit. But for this circum stance that season of privation, that extent of misery, t o which we fear the labouri n g p oor of so man y fin e districts , in Europe have yet to pass, would have been prolonged by some two or three months. La mentable, howe ver , it is to - reflect on the mournful prospects of the approaching winter. What is to be done for our hard-working, well-conducted, i but ill-paid poor in the manufacturing and rural districts?— ! in all the densely crowded thoroughfares, in our swarming po I ' pulation ? What is to be done for the poor of Ireland, whom 1 a century of frequently recurring visitations of famine or scarcity.,haa not been able to wean _from their improvident preference for and dependence en the potato crop ? What is OVERLAND MAIL. _INDIA AND CHINA. (Abridged from the Timex.) This mail brings intelligence from Lahore, where the Go vernment of the Queen-Mother and her brother, the Wuzeer, is in a precarious state. Peshora Singh continues master at Attock, on the Indus, and has beaten some troops sent against him. He has been joined by Tej Singh, the well knowi successor of ,General Avitabile, as Governor of Peshawur, who is disgusted with the treatment which he and his relatives'and friends have received from the Govern ment at Lahore. The wily old chief, Glioolab Singh, has contrived to get away, on leave, from Lahore, and has re treated to Jamoo, where he is watching the course of events, and regu'ating the web of his intrigues for his future ad vancement. The Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, was to quit Calcutta on the 23d of September. lie embarks at liar rackpore, and will receive the -last salute which Serampore can give as a Danish settlement, for it is about to be ceded immediately to the British authorities. The deaths are mentioned if two gallant officers, Major- General Considine and Major Leece, of the Bombay Ar tillery, who had distieguished himself during the late cam paign in Affghanistan. From Sinde little is known ; tranquillity pervades its dis tricts. The small expedition to Kustnore on the banks of the Indus above Sukkur has returned to Hydrabad. Sir Charles Napier was at Kurrachee, whither the 2d Regiment of Bengal Europeans was marching from Upper Sinde in order to secure its health on the subsiding of the Indus. There has been much talk respecting the letter written by Lieutenant-Colonel (Slattern to General W. Napier, in which strong charges are brought against Sir Charles Napier. Indignant at them, Sir C. Napier had asked for a court martial, either on himself or Colonel Outram, which were both declined by the Governor-General, on the ground that such an investigation was not requisite, and would lead to the production of evidence which the nature of the service did not require to be made public. In the interior of India tranquility prevails. Further details of the horrible crimes of the Ameers of Sinde have come to light, greatly to the dismay of those who upheld them as "innocent and injured Princes." Mr. R. Montgomery Martin has arrived with this mail from Bombay. His object in coming to Eng land is to show the errors committed by the British Plenipotentiary who made the treaty Frith China in having selected the insalubrious and barren rock of Hong Kong, instead of the fertile island of Chusan as the British emporium in China. Hong Kong is a useless acqui sition, or rather it is a channel-house for her Majesty's regi ments, one of which must be sacrificed every three years, in order to maintain it as a British colony. It would be worth the while of the British Government to take notice of the intrigues of the actual French diplomatists in China. They have come there to seize every advantage which Great Britain does not retain ; and, amongst their present schemes, is one existing in their secret treaty for getting Chusan to be their island and emporium, as soon as the Brie tish relinquish that position next year. As they are but mere imitators of the English, it has been recommended to give them up Hong Kong, and to retain Chusan. It is an undoubted fact that Great Britain would then only acquire the advantages to which she is entitled ; from the past trans action it is universally admitted that it would be an act of consummate folly to give up Chusan in order to its being appropriated by the French. The appointment of Mr. Davie to be the Governor of Hong Kong was, as it now appears, a blunder, for the Chinese do not respect him, and he cannot converse in their language. One of the boldest, most talented, and most expenenced British diplomatists ought to be sent without delay to settle with the Chinese Court as to the continued appropriation of Chusan. The French intrigues in the Pacific are now directed towards out-generalling England in China, and un less immediate care be taken the germ will be there created of a bloody conflict with that power even in the Chinese, territory, such as was formerly the case in India. Three of the newly acquired ports are good for nothing as places of trade, viz., Amoy, Fow-chow-foo, and Ningpo. There is more British trade carried on at Chusan in a month than in those three places in a year. The facts, of which we give here an outline, are of sufficient importance to require the immediate dispatch to China of a man of judgment. The name of the Earl of Ellenborough is well known in the East. It would not be beneath his dignity to go to arrange the difficulties which are now arising with the Chinese. If this matter be ne glected, there is a proximate chance of another war with the Celestial Empire, in which the schemes of France will have contributed considerably to embarrass the good intentions of England. M. Lagrene, the French agent at Canton, appears to ex pect to proceed without delay to Pekin on a special IfliSEloll, in the same manner as the actual Russian Ambassador. The news from China comes down to the 10th of July, and does not contain; any remarkable fact. Trade was dull at Canton and in the other four ports. The ship C. C. of Lon don was burned in the Chinese seas on the 21st. Crew saved by the Judith, of Liverpool. The cholera, after having ravaged many places, was de creasing. The rains in some places overflowing, in others, particularly at Bombay, rather scanty; the quantity fallen in the last-named place was little more than 53 inches. Railways were proposed at each of the Presidencies, and with the greatest hopes of success. The utility of one from Bombay to Bengal will become manifest, from the fact that the mid-monthly mails of the 24th of July were conveyed in a steamer from Aden to Bombay, and thence sent express to Calcutta, where they arrived thirty six-hours before those sent by the steamer direct from Aden. Amongst the miscellaneous items of intelligence we may mention the establishment of a new bank at Bombay, which is called the " Commercial Bank," and the incorporation, by an Act of the Legislative of the Assam Company, for the cul tivation of tea. The arrival of the Hindostan steamer on the 3d, with Mr. Simms, Mr. Stephenson, and the railway surveyors who ac company him, has given new life to the railway proceedings. Nothing can exceed the earnest anxiety of the Governor. General upon the subject. All is bustle and activity. A commission, consisting of Col. W. N. Forbes, Col. Cheaps, Capt. Greene, and Capt. Goodwyn, with two civilians, and two mercantile men, has been already decided upon, and will, in all probability, appear in Government orders in the next gazette. The engineer officers have already been actively engaged in obtaining such information as they conceived could be of service to the cause, and among other valuable results may be especially mentioned the decision to which these gentle men have come in regard to the practicability and ease with which tbeline can be carried across the hilly range, after leav ing the alluvial plains of Bengal, a point on whichopinions were expressed very confidently to the contrary, until the correct levels were taken by the engineer officers in charge of that portion or the road. lam not conversant with the detai:s or technical terms sufficiently to give the particulars, but it ap pears to be regarded as a point of considerable consequence by the officers who surveyed the ground, and by those in terested in the railway, as removing any doubts which might have previously existed in regard to the engineering ob stacles to be encountered. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.) THE BOMBAY MARKEI'. Emma', SEPT. 15.—Although the business transacted since cur last has been, from the same causes as before, but limited in extent, the aspect of the market for imports has continued fa. vourable, and we have in numerous instances to report a satisfac tory improvement in prices. Fears were at one time entertained of a , failure In the crops, owing to the inadequate supply of rain; but these apprehensions have been in a great measu re removed by a plentiful fall within the last few days, and it is to be hoped the threatened injury, if not entirely averted, will be at any rate ma. terially lessened. From the present state of the market, and the prospects which are apparent, there is every reason to anticipate a hrisk demand for most descriptions of imparts as soon as the com munication with the coast and the interior is fully re-opener'. Metals—But few transactions have taken place in any variety of metals the Imparters holding their stocks firmly for an advance on the current rates. We quote prices of copper precisely the same as before, with the exception of the item nails, the price of which is Rs. 2 per cwt. higher. In iron the only change is in sheet, which has improved to the extent of six annas per cwt. Pig lead is a shade higher, and quicksilver somewhat lower than last month. The prices of other articles remain stationary. Cotton Manufactures—The goods which have been principally in request since the departure of the last mail have been gray and bleached shirtings, madapollams (save very low descriptions), gray and bleached jaconets of tine quality, and domestics of all kinds. The last-named fabrics have obtained advanced prices, as have also 45. inch gray shirtings and made. pollarns, and the finer qualities of bleached shirting. For the other descriptions cf goods sold very full rates have, almost without exception, been paid. Satin stripes and spots, and jacenet checks and stripes, have been in fair demand. For bleached mulls, zebra dresses, and lappets, there is little inquiry, and scarcely any sales have had effect, save of the finest descriptions of the latter. Turkey red cloths are dull of sale, and the same may be said of prints of different kinds. Yarns—The lower numbers both of mule and water twist have been in brisk demand since our last, and owing to the firmness of holders, a general improvement in the prices of these counts has taken place. Nos. 20 to 50 mule have advanced to the extent of from e at 1 of an anna per lb., and Nos. 20 and 30 water from iati an anus. The stocks in the hands of dealers arc believed to be light, and this may perhaps lead to greater improvement. We hear of no sales in water, but annas 7i per lb. have, we believe, been refused for No. 20. Both Turkey red and orange yarns are without change in value, but the inquiry for the latter appears tohave somewhat improved, and the prospects of the market are more favourable for it than before. Woollens—Woollen cloths of all descriptions arc still greatly ne glected, and the prices offered quite unremunerating. Th,roffely, sale of which IVO have heard is one of 2,000 yards at rs. -. , rl i c , ,i, yard. Flannels are . i%nvesoamreewalii)aptri!bedettoefe stelemsanodf, still continue low. 6,7 " o " O g y h ar P ds at annas 11, - and 920 yards at amiss 6 per yard. - Marine Stores—The only change we have to record in the prices of the articles under this head is an improvement to the extent of ra. J per barrel in coal pitch, of which 322 barrels have, as we hear, been disposed of at the rate of rs. 5 per barrel. Of tar the market is nearly bare, and consequently no transactions in this article have taken place. Paints are still without inquiry. Beer—There is no alteration to notice either in the price or de mand for the superior brand. Supplits are still held firmly, and Iscarcely any transactions have t a k en p l ace. For inferior descrip. tions there is no inquiry whatever. Spirits—Prices are without change. We have been informed of a tale of 2E runcliconb of turn, at u. 1 14 rat gallen. EASTERN PRODUCE. Cotton—The favourable accounts from home have occasioned a further advance in the prices of Dollera and Oomrawuttee Cotton, which may be quoted at from 4 to 5 rupees higher than last month. Broach, Surat, Jumbooseir, and Barsee, severally remain without change. Transactions have been limited, and shipments comparatively small. Opium—This drug has risen since the departure of the last mail, from Rs. 1,375 to Rs. 1,500 per chest—at which latter rate we now fix our quotation. In other articles of Eastern produce we have no changes in price to notice, and no transactions to record. Freights—There has been little fluctuation since our last in the rates of freight to Great Britain. The shipments of produce has been limited, but as the amount of available tonnage has been moderate, no . material decline has at any pe riod taken place. W e may now quote the rates to London and Liverpool at 34 10s. to 31. 12s. 6d. per ton—to the Clyde, nomi nal, and to China 16 rupees per candy. The Berkshire and Em peror have been taken up for the conveyance of her Majesty's 2d Queen's Royals to England, at the rate of 241. per ma:), and sail in the course of the week. MONEY MARKET. Exchange—On England has been tolerably steady since the de parture of the last mail, and may now be quoted at Is. 10id. to Is. 100. for six months, and Is. 9; d. for 30 days' bills—the same sates as were current on the 27th ult. On Calcutta the rate is 100,1 re.; on Madras 99i rs. ; and on China 218 rs. per 100 dol lars—all at 60 days' sight. Banks—The shares of the Bombay Bank may be quoted at 52 per cent. premium, and those of the Oriental Bank at 44, both for old and new shares. A new establishment, under the deslg. nation of the "Commercial Bank," is in course of organisation in Bombay. Freights—To London, 3/ 10s. to 31. 12s. 7d.; to Liverpool, 31. 10s. to 3/. 12s. 6d.; to Clyde, Si. )ss. nominal ; to China, 16rs EXCIANCES.—London, six months', is 104 d. at is 104 d. ; 30 days' sight, Is. 94d. ; Calcutta, at 60 day's sight. )00irs. ; Madras, at 60 day's sight, 99irs.; China, at GO days' sight, 218 rs. Price of Bullion,—Sovereigns each, rs. 111; Bank of England Notes, per £., 114 ; Spanish'Doliars, per 100, nominal; German Crowns, per 100, 216 to 217; Sycee Sil►er per 100 tolaq, 104 to 1041 ; Gold leaf per lola 16 to 17. . (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Sept. 6.) The mail via Bombay, with dates to the 7th July, came in on the evening of the 17th ultimo, but as no material alteration had taken place in the home markets, and the intelligence as regards commercial matters was generally unimportant, operations here were not at all affected thereby. _ . On the morning of the 2d we were somewhat surprised by the re. ceipt of further accounts from home, via Bombay, several copies of the London Mail having been forwarded by express by that route, in the hope of anticipating the arrival of the Ilinflostan, which they did by one day, the letters by that vessel not having been deli vered until the evening of the 3 , 1 ; the principal topics of interest by this opportunity are the result of the July Indigo sale, and the raising of their rate for remittances to this country by The Court of Directors from is. 9d. to is. 19d. per rupee, the former was what was generally anticipated by parties who took the unprece dented extent of the sale, and the favourable accounts from this which came to hand at the time, into consideration ; the latter was also looked for, but has nevertheless caused a complete cessation of Exchange operations here, it being still doubtful whether the Go vernment will raise their rate for advances or not; the general opinion, however, appears to be that they will maintain the relative difference in rates by an equivalent advance, although some parties urge the large amount still available as likely to prevent this ; in the present state of our market, however, we cannot see any reason for its having this effect, as there can be little doubt, were the next Gazette to announce the Government rate being raised to Is. l Id., that an almost equivalent advance would be immediately established in private operations, and shipments accordingly still go forward through the export warehouse to nearly if not quite their former extent. SOur produce market is not, generally speaking, animated; the attention of most parties being still given almost exclusively to sugar ; but there has nevertheless been a moderate amount of busi. ness done in other articles, and prices of most are firm. Almost every staple of import from Gnat Britain continues diffi cult of sale even at the low rates now current, there having as yet been but very slight symptoms of the demand usually prevalent at this season ; there can however be little doubt but that this will shortly be experienced in a greater or less degree, as after the present month the facilities for transport to the upper provinces will be considerably decreased, and the annual Hindoo festival of the Doorga Poorja, which commences on the sth proximo, will put a stop to all business for nearly a fortnight. Arrivals have again been light, and freights have accordingly ad. vanced to our quotations. BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.) (More Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) BENJAMIN v. DAVIES.-BILL DISCOUNTING. The defendant, who is a milkman, on Saffron-hill, was summoned to show cause why he did not pay a sum of W. 4s. on a bill of exchange, on which judgment had been given againSt him. The parties interested do a good deal of busi ness in small bill discounting. The . defendant said he would not make any offer to pay on the ground that the bill was a joint and several bill, signed by two' other persons against whom actions had been brought, and who had given another bill for 251. for debt and costs, 10/. of which had been paid. The plaintiff said he had not taken any security. Defendant—Mr. Buchanan, your attorney, knows the fact. TheCOMMISSIONER—Let him be sworn. (To Mr. Buchanan) Did you ever sue Crispin or Brown on this bill. Mr. Buchanan—l am not aware that I did. My client tells me I did not; there might have been an arrangement with Mr. Barnett Joseph. Defendant—Yes, it was he who held the bill, and now, after the other security is got, it is handed over to Mr. Benjamin. liefendant—Are you not aware that 101. was paid ? COMCMISSIONEIZ—In short, do you know of the actions against Brown and Crispin, or defendant. Mr, Buchanan—l am sure I don't know. My client tells m e we did not bring an action against defennant. Dcfeudant—But you know you did against Brown and Crispin. Mr. Buchannan—What has that to do evith it, your name is Davis. lam only able to speak to the action against You ; my memory does not serve me as to other actions ; if you had given me notice to produce the papers in other suits I would have done so. The •Comms,suniEn—Don't you know these parties have been sued ? Mr. Buchanan—l believe not; la m attorney to Mr. b n il i l n o th pl e a P in o t s ur t- , Joseph, and he says no. e l u . t a h t a h m hare l i as- ne ffiT A c l he er throughJdoe s fe e n p d h a w nbt a se isaid negx and had not paid it. s i de a ,d d hoe l n o i s nt t hae a o rps s ed i i The Defendant—Do you not discount for Mr. Buchanan? —No • •did not recollect ever given money on a bill to Mr. B.'s clerk on a Saturday, except for a bill of costs perhaps. Mr. Buchanan—ln that part of the case you go a long way round to get rid of this judgment. The Commissioner directed the papers in the actions to be brought. Mr. Buchanan sent for them, and said actions had been commenced by Mr. Joseph, but this bill did not form part of the claim. The defendant having sworn that be did not earn more than 12s. a week, the Learned Counsel said he would not make any order for pa3ment. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Boswell, relieving officer of Cleveland-street Work house, appeared before Mr. Jardine, to prefer a charge of assault. The prisoner, a man about thirty years of age, had been several times an inmate of the house, but from his un willingness to work had been subjected to punishment. On this account Mr. Boswell thought him unfit to be again an inmate, and refused him admittance. This gave the prisoner occasion to execute some threats he had vented so late as yesterday ; he retired a lit:le way backwards from the office. and hurled a stone through the window, which, from its passing close to his head, must have been aimed at Mr. Boswell ; there are, besides, no stones to be picked up in the court where he was, so that it must have been brought into the house for the purpose. to 'gfehteiplirnissoannera.,lsudinh. ne MAGisTnATE imposed a fine of 2 5., the worth of thee was destitute, and used these means pane of glass, or 14 days' imprisonment, and a fine of 20s. for the assault, or one month's imprisonment. A young man, about 22 years of age, was brought up charged with stealing cigars from a tobacconist's shop in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. James Gavin saw the prisoner busy about the shop window, and had his suspicions excited. • In a little time the prisoner crossed the street to two companions. All the three returned to the shop window ; one of them held up the lappet of his coat to the window, while another busied himself in extract ing the cigars at a hole made in the putty with a nail. Gavin followed them from this, and had the prisoner taken into custody; the other two made their escape. Six cigars were found on the prisoner, and some nails.—lle was com mated for trial. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. • CITY, QUARTER TO. THREE. . _ The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, with a dull market, but without any alteration in prices ; 200 bales Surat went at 3d. to 410., and 200 Per• nam at 61id. to 7d. per lb. Shares continued depressed. but there was An improvement in a few lines. Grand Junction rose 20/. The accounts received this morning from the principal country markets for railway shares, are of a more satisfactory nature than was fairly to be anticipated, after the strong efforts of the Times to create alarm in the minds of the public generally on the subject of new railways. That the Times has lost a considerable degree of its hitherto really powerful influence, is a matter of no doubt among the mercantile, and the banking interests for unnecessarily, as it is freely thought, stigmatising both classes with affording undue assistance to the transactions in shares. We are not, nor never were, the advocates of what are termed the " bubble schemes" of the day. The Times puts all projects, good or bad, into one beat, and would, under the insidious plea of warning the public against further dealings in s crip, swamp the whole. As we have on a previous occasion noticed the deposits are paid upon all, or very nearly so, of the new projects that will be ready to be brought before Parliamen t in the next session of Parliament. To keep up the cry of an anticipated panic is mere childish ness, and the result of wounded vanity. That there is a hitch in the Cabinet seems pretty certain, and such is the report of yesterday and to-day in City cir cles,upon cles, not unfrequently in possession o f ear l y informa tion whicire.wlaatnets t 0 0 0 put tli Lord eafl*air l s iMen l Mate. matters a said d It is the Duke ke - lior9ugh into some office or other, but.

What are the causes of this sudden shock? not any real but a combi nation of imaginary ones.

INUNDATION AT HAMBURGH. We are indebted for the following information to the Se cretary of the General Steam Navigation Company. The news was brought by one of the vessels belonging to the company, which arrived in the river this morning : A most disastrous inundation occurred on Saturday morn-. ing last at Hamburgh, which flooded a large portion of the town situated near the jiver. The wind during the previ ous night was from the north-west, blowing heavily. It was high water abnit 8 , 15, A.M., but considerably be fore that time the water had ris:•n to a height many feet above the ordinary high-water level, and at last acquired a height far surpassing any tide since 1825, when the outer light °ship at the entrance of the Elbe foundered, and Hanover was nearly under water. To those who know the town of Hamburgh the effect of the inundation will be apparent, when it is explained that the water communi cation between the river and the ornamental water called the Alster, formed by the ordinary water-gates, was not suf ficiently high to prevent the flow of the tide over them, causing an immense body of water in the Alster. Although most of the cellars near the river were filled with water, fortunately no lives were lost. In many of the streets communications could only be carried on by boat. The water subsided, and the high tide was not experienced in the evening, and the water had much abated. It is much feared that the newly erected Gas-works have been seriously injured, its situation being very low. GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY.—The fol lowing are the traffic returns for the week ending 18th Octo ber, 1845 :—Passengers, 8,454; amount received, 2061. 9s. ld. SOUTHWARK.—We are informed that at the dinner to be given to Sir William Moleswortli, on Wednesday, by the electors of Southwark, the Hon. Baronet is expected to b 9 supported by a strong muster of those Members of Par liament who are prominent as advocates of free trade; and that, from the limited means of accommodation, the stewards will have sonic difficulty in satisfying the demand for tickets. Mr. John Carne, chemist, of I3rompton-row, was on Thursday fined 10s. and costs, for having chastised his errand-boy with undue severity, under circumstances of great provocation. The boy had been beaten with a thick piece of deal about- an inch and a half wide and one thick, until his back and shoulders were much bruised. The magistrate thought a master might chastise his errand-boy, but in this case the chastisement had been too severe. GRAVING DOCK AT GLASGOW.—A company is about to be formed at Glasgow, to establish a graving dock in connexion with the harbour. M. PHILIPPE'S SOIREES -MYSTERIEITSES —Night after night is that comfortable little snuggery the Strand Theatre crowded to witness the astonishing teats of M. Phi lippe. lie is, par excellence, the children's magician, for his supply of bonbons aro completely inexhaustible. It is quite amusing to watch the countenances of the young rogues as the sweetmeats are showered about in all directions. They all seem to be members of the catch and glee club. During tha past week, the Charini family have been engaged, and have exhibited several astonishing feats of tight-rope dancing, in the interval between the ?arts of M. Tsr , formance. p
