This important line, the only one having for its object the direct communication between South Wales, Birmingham, the Midland Counties, Liverpool, Manchester, and the North, will commence at Hereford, and passing to the Vale of the Severn via Bewdley. Bridg nor.h, Broseley, Iron Bridge, and Colebrooke Dale, take a direct route through or near Wellington and Market Drayton to Crewe, or to Runcorn, whence the existing lines will continue the traffic to Liverpool, Manchester, and the North. At Itewdley there will be a Branch Line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the Mid land Counties. Reference to the map will show that three projected Railways converge at Hereford, viz :—The South Wales line from the coast, at Newport, via Monmouth the Bristol lines from Bristol, over the Severn ; and the Great Eastern and Western from Swansea, by way of Merthyr awl Abergavenny. This grand trunk will, therefore, connect with the North and Central portions of the kingdom, by the nearest practicable route, Bristol, the West of England, and the whole of South Wales, containing a vast population and extensive iron, copper, tin-plate, and coal works, numerous and important Ports, including Milford Haven, and the Government Dock-yard, and concentrate to itself the great Passenger and Goods traffic now conveyed by various circuitous routes to and fro. This line, too, will unite the Iron districts of South Wales with those of Staffordshire and Shropshire. Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beantlthl scenery of South Wales and the various watering-places will add considerably to the passenger traffic on this line. A more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods traffic, arising from the extensive connexion existing between South Wales and the important termini, conveying, as this communication will, the various productions of iron, copper, coal, tin plates, &c. to the north, and woollens, cottons, salt, hardware, pottery wars, cattle, and agricultural produce, required for the several counties, districts, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward ; with the advantage of delivery in a few hours, free from the risks and delays of a sea voyage r and at one-third the distance. The conveyance of coals to the et - unties through which these lines ran will also be a means of considerable and increasing revenue ; whilst the supplies to the barren districts of the iron works of agri cultural produce will add to the profit, as well as unite by ties of mutual interest the agricultural and commercial community. By means of this projection, portions of the kingdom not so pro vided by any other scheme, will participate in the advantages of railway communication ; and it will also form hereafter, with other railways about to be commenced, the nearest route to London for a very extensive portion of the country. Founded on the principle of direct and comprehdnsive communica tion with distant parts of the kingdom, this line will be the most complete in the empire, and, carried as it can and will be, in almost a straight line, must thus secure itself for the future against the corn . petition of any rival projection. At the same time every regard has been had to local accommoda tion, and the closest scrutiny ivill convince those who know the wants and requirements of the towns and districts embraced within its scope, that this has been most amply provided for. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company shall be. under the management and control of the Com mittee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrangements as shall best serve the interests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies ; and to raise additional capital, if required, to extend this line ; and also to noml na:e the first Directors of the Company. Sliould the Cominission now sitting not disturb the gauge of the South Wales Railway Bill passed this session, it is intended to adopt the wide gauge, to avoid the inconvenience of different gauges. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amsount of their Subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. The Lints presents no engineering difficulties ; and as the Land holders (having been canvassed) are favourable to the Line, a return, equal to any Railway in the Kingdom, may be relied on from the outlay. Preference in the allotment of Shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the Shareholders of Lines in connexion with this, the Grand Junction, South Wales, &c. The Parliamentary - Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits. No applications for shares can in any case be attended to unless reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, 'Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

ENGLISH THEXTRICALS ON THE CONTINENT.—We understand that the English company at present performing on the Continent, under the management of Miss Davenport, has been most successful. The llamhurgh papery speak in the most flattering terms of the performances of that very talented young lady. The English performances open en the 23d at the Italian Theatre in Amsterdam wittyßomeo and Juliet, Miss Davenport, of course, ap• pearirg as Juliet. The English company at Amsterdam are to play aiternatil'aights with the Italian company. During the last two days near 200 ships have arrived In During harbour, which Is at present quite thronged, and business, which, from the absence of ships, was in a great de svge,suspended, big gm resumed a very Unix apprilsam.rinv oaf -moor, HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning .. 33 minutes after 5 1 Evening 55 minutes after THE SUN, LONDON, MONDA Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1815. begin to see the question in its proper light. Corn-law associations have become like country meetings, a "farce." The League at every agricultural meeting is more praised than blamed; nay, the very landlords themselves, witness Captain Rolls and others:. are calling out for a radical change. The time, in fact, has arrived, and we doubt not Sir ROBERT PEEL will make good use of the opportunity next session. We have received the Madrid journals of the 13th and 14th inst., from which we leant that the QUEEN arrived rather unexpectedly in the capital on the evening of the 13th, about seven o'clock.. The guns of course were fired, to the great alarm of the inhabitants, who believed another outbreak had taken place, but on learning the cause, they flocked in great crowds to the Palace, to welcome her MAJESTY'S return. All the Ministers next day proceeded to Court, to pay their respects to the QUEEN, and remained a long time in con ference with her MAJESTY. NARVAEZ is indispcsed. On his arrival all the military bands gave him a long serenade. M. LIMES bas left Madrid for Grenada, in the diligence. The Heraldo states that a conspiracy has been discovered at Alicant, organised by a cousin cf ZunnANo, but it was crushed by the vigilance of the authoi ities. Several persons had in consequence been arrested. No businea was done on the Bourse on Saturday, the 13th. According to some of the Paris papers, an association of a most diabolical character had just been discovered in the cantons of Neufchatel, in Switzerland. It is said to be the work of" Young Germany," and has for its objects the over throw of religion and royalty, by the dissemination of atheis tical doctrines and the murder of sovereigns. The Counier, Swisse, of the 16th, published in the Pays de Vaud, gives the following account of this new club, which we are inclined to think is much exaggerated :—" Some arrests recently made in a small town of the canton of Neufchatel, and the avowals obtained of the individuals thus captured, have led to therde tection of a vast plot organised in Switzerland by the members of 'Young Germany' association. The present centre of the as sociation is Lausanne, but Berne, Zurich, Bale, Geneva, and 24 other minor towns, have lodges of the same conspirators. It is also affirmed that there are German clubs connected with the society in several towns of France, including Stras burg and Marseilles. The object of the association, as is clearly proved by the wtitinas and con espondence of the leaders, and the disclosures just obtained, is to effect the sub version of the religious, political, and social organisation of Germany, and, successively, that of the other states of Eu rope, by the preaching of atheism, the gradual demoralisa tion of the people, and, if need be, the assassination of public functionaries. The principal leaders are HERMANN DOLLEKE, of Erfurt, a public teacher in the canton of Vaud, and formerly a teacher of languages in Neufchatel ; BIAX HOFFMANN, a Ba varian pharrnacian ; WILHELM MARK, late editor of a German anarchic - paper, called the Journal of the Clubs, and who is not only surnamed by the men of his party 'Robespierre,' but also adds that name to his signature • Juuus STANDAW, of Gotha, professor of German at the signature; of Chaux-de- Fonds, in Neufchatel. This adventurer has been arrested there, and expelled, with four of his associates, from the ter ritory of the Swiss confederacy, where he had lived as an emigrant for five years past. the authorities have been justly alarmed at the active :and crafty perseverance with which these propagandists have enlisted under their banner a considerable number of the twenty to twenty. live thousand German workmen established in the several cantons of Switzerland. Manx's hideous journal had latterly procure) as many as five hundred subscribers among them." The domestic intelligence in the Paris papers is not of much interest. Conservatism, however, appears to be the order of the day. Nearly all the late elections have gone in favour of the Guizar Ministry, and even the Radical city of Lyons following the example. N. DE r srnEz, a Conservative, has just been elected Deputy by the third college of that place in a e room of M.FULCHIRON, raised to the Peerage. He had a majority of 142 votes. M. ETIENNE BLANC, one of his opponents, had 25, and M. CESAR BERTHOLON, the other candidate 10. The Royal Family con tinue their excursions in the environs of Eu and Treport. The KING, from all accounts, takes much exercise. On Thursday his Majesty, with the Queen, Madame Adelaide, the DuChess d'Aumale, the Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the young Prince of Wurtemburg, and the Prince and Princess de Salerno, accompanied by the Minister of the Marine, General d'Houdetot, Colonel Dumm, the Marquisses de Strada and Brancaccio, the I- refect of the Seine Inferieure, Baron Fain, 'MM. Fontaine and de Cailleux, two orderly officers, and several ladies of the Court, went in carriages to Treport. The royal party went on to the fort to enjoy the view of the sea, which was greatly agitated. At two o'clock they returned to the Palace, which his MAJESTY soon after again left in a carriage, attended by General d'Houde tot, and MM. Courtois d'Hurbal and Brabant, and drove in the park as far as Mar.cheville and the plain of Etalande till half-past five o'clock. The KING, according to the Cons rier de Nantes, has ordered to be built in the yards at Indret a small yacht, of so light a draught of water that it may be able to enter any of the ports of Normandy. She is to be called the Passe Portent. When her Majesty of ENGLAND therefore again visits Treport, she will have no occasion to land in a bathing machine. The Duke DE Mom.- PENSIER, on leaving Greece, is to perform quarantine at Malta, and thence proceed to Naples. The following are extracts from the continental papers : " The Augsburg Gazee quotes a letter of the 11th, from Berlin, stating that, according to accounts received there from St. Petersburg, the Emperor Nicholas, after inspecting his fleet in the Black Ses, intended to take a voyage in the Mediterranean, and join the Empress, should she prolong her stay in Sicily. Colonel Wolff, who brought the news of the capture of Dargo, was immediately promoted to the rank of general, and attached to the suite of the Empress. We learn front Posen that the Catholic inhabitants of that city have sent a deputation to Berlin, with a petition to the King of Prussia, for the appointment of a Commission to investigate the causes of the serious disturbances which occurred at Posen on the 28th and 29th July. " A Constantinople letter of the 3d informs us that the Grand Admiral llahl Pacha is appointed Minister of Commerce, Mustapha Nuri Pacha, Governor of Brussa, and Said Pacha, who has long lived retired, is named a member of the Council of the Empire. "The Grand Duke and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Oldenburg arrived at Vienna on the 12th, on their way to Trieste, to receive the Queen of Greece. Prince Ferdinand of Coburg, and his son were expected at Vienna, from which place they would set out for London and Lisbon."

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 4,000 bales, at about previous rates.—The quotations for Railway Shares are given in another column. The accounts received from most parts of the country this morning relative to the progress of the harvest, and the con dition of the crops in those districts where the sickle has not been brought into operation, were read with some anxiety, as the weather in most parts has been, since this day week, ex tremely variable. The short crop of old wheat on the Continent, the bad state of the potato crops, and the advancing prices, have led to the ap prehension that the Bank Directors may be com pelled to place the screw on the circulation, the effect of which would be to produce a depression in shares to well as the public securities generally. The: purchase of foreign grain for exportation has been rather considerable in the course of the last week here, and at the out-ports. A con siderable quantity of flour and wheat is coming in from Canada and the United States. From the former, how ever, not much more can be expected this year, as the navigation of the St. Lawrence upwards will very soon be closed fur the year. There have not been any late accounts announced in the City this morning. The mail from the East Indies is looked for daily, but its contents, in a commercial point of view, are not expected to be of great interest, because the dates are not much later. As was expected, the markets for grain have all advanced this morning, but as yet the changes in the quotations of the public &cm ities have been very trifling indeed. The Consol market has been flat to-day at 98% and for the Account at 986- ft. The bargains have been but few. The premium on Exchequer-bills are at 47. The quotations cf India Bonds are heavy at 625. to 665. premium. There is rather more doing in the Foreign Funds to-day, and the prices are on the whole rather flat. Brazilian are at 91 ; the Chilian Stock has receded to 102; Mexican are at 32%; the Portuguese Converted at 60% for the Account; Spani•h at 27%; the Three per Cents. at 38% %; and the Venezuela Deferred at 5%. The Dutch Funds are a shade lower than on Saturday. There has been a considerable amount of business tran sacted in the Railway Shares this morning. A rise is to be noticed in the Birmingham and Gloucester, in theCaledonian, in the Southern and Western (Ireland), in the New Great North of Ireland, and in the L'nclon and Birmingham. The chief dealings have been in Scrips. The French Railways are firm and in request. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.

During the past week the arrivals of all descriptions of Grain of home produce, but more particularly those of Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Flour, were on a very limited scale. Those of Irish Oats were somewhat on the increase, but far from extensive ; while the im ports of Foreign Corn and Pulse were comparatively small for the time of year. Fresh up the supplies of Wheat of home produce were unusually small ; hence the show of samples of that ar ticle were extremely limited. The attendance of both town and country dealers being large, the weather by no means favourable for the progress of harvest work in the north of England, and several orders having been again received from the continent to purchase Wheat under lock, the market was in a state of excitement almost beyond a parallel, For all descriptions of English Wheat, the demand was unusually brisk, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last, of from 45 to, in some instances, 65 per quarter, at which the -whole on offer was disposed of. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was small, and for which we have to report a very brisk inquiry, at a rise in the currencies of from 4s to fie per quarter, and a good clearance was effected without difficulty. For Bonded Wheats we have to report a brisk sale, at a rise of from 4s to 5s per quarter, and at which nearly 10,000 quarters were sold for shipment to Holland and Belgium ; even at that improvement importers were not ready sellers. Barley was in short supply and active demand, at quite is per quarter more money. There was some inquiry for export. The Malt trade ruled firm. Superfine parcels were the turn dearer, the value of other kinds being well supported. All kinds of Beans moved off briskly, at Is to 2s per quarter more money, while Rye was 2s dearer. Such was the activity in the sale for Peas, that their value was enhanced from 6s to 108 per quarter, arising from the foreign demand, for immediate shipment. The Flour trade was firm, at 5s per 2801bs. more money. Mustard Seed was dull, but all other kinds of seed were quite as dear• CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt—Chevalier .. • . 63s to 64s Red, New. •• • 546 to 60s Oats— Yorkshire and Ditto,Whlte, Old.. 608 69s Line°lnsh., Feed. 22s 23s Norfolk and Lin- Potatoe 228 24s coin, Red..... 44s 54s Youghaf and Cork, Ditto, White.. •. • • 50s 60s Black .

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A poor boy was brought before Mr. Combo, charged with obstruct ing the public thoroughfare by selling fruit on it. Police-constable, 39 S, deposed that he saw the prisoner with a basket on the footway in Brill-row, Soiner's-town, on the previous morning, at nine o'clock. Witness told him to go away; he went away, but again placed his basket of apples in Brewer-street. The passengers were obstructed in their progress, and witness took him into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said he had stood in Brill-row for the last seven years without being once disturbed ; ha had no other way of getting his living; he had been in Covent-garden-market on that morning. Mr. COMBE—What ! Covent-garden-market on Sunday morning ? Prisoner—Yes, sir, the market Is open till nine o'clock. I bought a few apples and strove to sell them. Constable—The Commissioners of Pavement have given directions to clear the streets. Prisoner—l was only striving to get my liviag, as I have got it for the last seven years. Mr. Cosine—You must pay ss. Prisoner—l have no money. Mr. CosinE—Then you must go to prison for five days. Another poor lad, who was selling his fruit under the same eft cun,stances, was, in 'default of fine, sent to prison for five days. Neither used any bad language, nor assaulted the police. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Vincenza Bracio, a stalwart powerful young Italian, dressed In very fashionable style, was charged under the following circum . tances :—About ten o'clock, on Saturday night last, as Mr. Samuel Cole, No. 3, Charles-street, Ilathbone-place, house-decorator, was going along Golden-square, he, In passing by the defendant, inadvert ently pushed slightly up against him, on which the defendant, with out speaking a word, commenced a furious attack, upon him, striking him many blows of tremendous force, with a thick knobbed walking stick over the head. Several of the passers-by Interfered, fearing the complainant would be killed. The defendant then threw his stick down an area, attempted to decamp, but was secured and lodged in the station-house. Mr. Coles was for a considerable time quite stunned by the blows ; his head was dreadfully bruised, and he was obliged to have his wounds dressed by a surgeon. His clothes down to his feet were completely saturated with his blood. The defendant said the complainant had pushed rudely against him, and menaced him with an umbrella. Mr. HARDWICK asked him what he was ? He said a courier. Mr. HARDWICK—You pay a fine of 155., or six weeks' imprisonment CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Oltenfakt nit LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1845. Since the commencement of the agitation for the repeal of the corn-laws the prospects of the manufacturers and the labouring classes in general, with regard to that obnoxious tax, have not been so favourable as at the present moment. We have blamed Sir R. PEEL for not urging the question on at an earlier period, knowing well that he would be backed by the whole of the Liberal party of all shades of politics, and supported, too, by not a few of his own adherents. Possibly he thought the Maynooth question, the Irish Colleges Bill, and the new tariff quite enough for one session, and did not wish to presume too much on the pliancy of the agricultural repre sentatives. Possibly, also, he saw that the tide was turning, that the landlords, who complained cf low prices for wheat, and every other species of grainy were beginning to open their eyes to the folly and wicked ness of monopoly, and that, in a very brief period, they would be more willingly led into the right path. We are, therefore, not disposed to pass strictures on his dilatory conduct, partly because he had a very obstinate class to deal with, and partly because he had fairly begun the free trade system, by reducing the duties on many necessaries of life, and thereby could exhibit to them facts which no reasoning, no bigotry, no blindness, in short, could gainsay. Some of these facts are already admitted by the monopolists, and they gaze at them as at the works of an enchanter. While the sliding scale has been preserved in all its integrity, while American flour and Odessa wheat are all but prohibited by its absurd regulations, while the landlords have been relieved of many taxes, and the agricultural farmers have no reason to complain that they are more burdened by the income-tax than others, are they in a prosperous condition? Has the sliding scale benefited them? Are they not, on the con trary, convinced that it has done them incalculable mischief, that it has prevented leases—that it has not raised the price a grain, or, if raised it at all, only for the benefit of corn-dealers and corn-speculators, and that there Can be no security for them till the whole question is thoroughly investigated, and such a settlement adopted as shall prevent all further legislation on the subject. Even these facts, conclusive as they are, give only one view of the case. When the impost on foreign cattle was reduced, a universal terror seized the graziers ; the apostate PEEL had ruined them ; the country would be inundated with oxen, and sheep, and calves, from Belgium, and Holland, and Prussia, and even Spain ; butchers' meat would be sold at half the usual price, and agricultural shows—even the Great Smith field Cattle Show—would soon be numbered among the things that were. What has been the result ? Though - foreign cattle have been imported to an extent hitherto unknown, though some fifteen thousand head of cattle, independent of sheep and other animals for consumption, have been imported within the year from only one country, the price of butchers' meat has been rising, and is now too high for the use of all that portion of the working classes who are not in full and good employment. Corn has fallen with a high duty, and cattle have risen with a low duty—a duty, in fact, do small, that it can hardly be taken into account when calculating the value of a pound weight. Cannot the farmers, or rather the selfish land owners, see the real cause ? It is nothing else than the pros perity of the manufacturing districts, the best market, after without bread a u l s l e , d fo r our agricultural produce. Little more bread is now than when times were worse, because not subsist ; but when trade' 'verY or potatoes, the prices of which compete with revives, mutually affect each other, the lowest population could einves, when the British the wages of the labourer are foreigners,r nay, manu facturers can , and he is enabled to pur chaseundersell them, animal food, from which in he is totally de- P h °.e ri rt ce Y of butchers' meat, barred. This is the real secret of the hi deficiency of ,eretlher e is a by that h and it is, theretire, needless to attribute fodder, or to any other cause. It rises it demand for it, and that demand is caused entirely prosperity which the advocates of monopoly, if their way, would entirely destroy. The landed interest cannot cannot prosper when the manufacturing classes are depressed, and the well-being of both is as intimately connected as must sad Act The more provident and tensible Twit§ Grt Northern of France (Laffitte's) Ditto (Rosamel's) Do.

A special meeting of the Proprietors in this Company was held this day in the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of receiving the sanction of the Shareholders to the transfer of the Line to the South-Western Company. R. S. Mangles, Esq., M.P., was in the chair. The SECRETARY having read the ;ulvertisement calling the meeting, The Citatammi said that they had that day met for the single object expressed in the advertisement, namely, to get the sanction of the Shareholders to the transfer, they having already received the authority of the Act of Parliament for that purpose. The Chairman then proposed a resolution to the above effect. Mr. MORE seconded the resolution, which was accordingly passed. The CHAIRMAN then said that es the formal part of the business was over, he might inform the meeting that the sum to be received from the South-Western, would be paid over before the Ist October— (Hear, hear)—and from the estimate which had been made of the money expended, he might promise them not only the 351. per share paid up, but 31. of a surplus. Mr. SELLS thought that some remuneration either of a pecuniary or complimentary character should be given to the Directors for the time they had devoted, and the attention they had shown to the affairs of the Company. After a few words from Mr. Rene, The CHAIRMAN intimated that as another meeting would be neces sary, the subject might then be taken into consid era ti on. The meeting then broke up. BRIGHTON, LEWES, and HASTINGS RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY). A meeting of the Proprietors of this line of railway was held to .day at the Company's offices, King William-street, City ; Mr. Nash in the chair. The usual formalities having been gone through, The SEcarrAny read the report cf the Directors, which in sub stance was a recommendation to sell and transfer the line to the London and Brighton Company at a premium of 71. per share. The Directors strongly urged the propriety of adopting such a course. Resolutions In favour of such an agreement having been come to, and a vote of thanks given to the Chairman and Directors, the meet ing broke up. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the Proprietors cf this line of railway was held to-day, at two o'clock, at the Company's offices, Dean-street, Tooley street, Borough, the Hon. Captain Hotham in the chair. The business for which the meeting was convened was simply to affix the common seal of the Company to the deed of conveyance agreed to at the special gefieral meeting, held the sth of August last, for the transference and sale of the line to the London Brighton Railway Company, and also to agree to the creation of 64,000 new shares of 501. each to carry out the extension of the line to Portsmouth with a branch to Fareham, pursuant to an Act of Parliament obtained last session. . _ The resolutions, in agreement with these objects, were put, and agreed to without discussion, when, after a vote of thanks to the Chainnaa and Board of Directors, the meeting separated.

The deceased was a s in g le woman, an d r. sided at No. 7, Husband - street, G o lden square. On Saturday night last, about a q uar t er past twelve o'clock, the deceased and a female named Costien, together with three men named Dobson, Boyes, and Salter, who had been drinking together all the evening, agreed to have an hour's ride at that unseasonable hour, and went and hired a boat of Mr. Tomlinson, of the Adelphi. They all got into the boat and proceeded to Vauxhall-bridge, w hen they agreed to return and go together to Gr eenw i c h and spend the day. 'i hey a ccordin g l y did so, and when a b ou t midway b,twecn Blackfriars and Southwark bridges, the boat was carried by the force of the tide against some barges and upset, and all the persons in it were thrown into the water. All, however, were saved with the exception of deceased, whose body was not recovered until Friday morning, when it was found floating off King James's-stairs, Shadwell. The coroner and jury commented in strong terms upon the conduct and foolhardiness of all the persons engaged in the transaction, and a verdict was re turned of " Accidental death."

Baltic . ...... .... 193 213 Another extensive importation of live stock for our market has taken place during the last week ; we having received 100 oxen and cows, together with 220 sheep, 14 lambs, and 10 calves, per steamers, f can Rotterdam; while from Hamburgh 26 oxen have come to hand, in, for the most part, in good condition. At the outports, in cluding Ireland and Scotland, about 200 beasts and 50 sheep have been imported. There were on offer 164 Dutch oxen and cows, together with 64 sheep, nearly the whole of which found buyers, at rates about equal to those obtained last week. By far the largest 'portion was purchased by the butchers ; but a few of the beasts were taken for grazing purposes. From our own grazing districts the Bullock droves fresh up were again extensive, amounting to neatly 4,000 bead ; but compara tively speaking, of middling quality. The primest Scots, Devons, Runts, &c., moved off steadily at prices quite equal to those realised on this day se'imight. In the middling and inferior qualities of Beef only a limited business was doing, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. The northern droves, viz., those from Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., amounted to 1,800 Short-horns. From the eastern counties about 400 Scots, Home breds, and Short-horns, came to hand. The numbers from the western and midland districts, 500 Devons, Bunts, Herefords, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 140 Scots; and from Ireland, 90 Beasts. The number of Sheep were somewhat on the increase, and of im proved quality. Prime old Downs commanded a ready sale at full prices —viz. 4s 8d to 5s per Sibs; in other kinds of Sheep, however, only a moderate business was transacted, and currencies were with difficulty maintained. Lambs, tile supply of which was ' by no means extensive, moved off slowly, at last week's figures. The Veal trade was steady, at Friday's enhanced rates. The supply of Pigs, 161—comi4ing those received from Ireland—was good: while the Pork trade was firm, at full prices.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS. The ri ports respecting the crop of Potatoes still continue very un favourable ; the demand rules active, and the quotations, though the supplies are seasonably extensive, have an upward tendency, ruling from 31 12s to 61 los per ton. WOOL. During last week the imports of Wool were principally confined to about 1,500 bales, chiefly from Sydney. In the private contract market a full average amount of business is doing and the quotations are well supported. The stock of Colonial Wools being now suffi ciently large to admit of extensive public sales, several will be held early in next month. The auctions, at which will be offered nearly 20,000 packages, will commence on the 6th, and continue for several days. TALLOW. The prices of Tallow are. ial --- aboutthe same as for many weeks past ; the stock is small, and the demand good, both sufficiently so to cause some excitement and create an advance of from 41 to 51 per ton. Town Tallow has fallen is 6d per cwt, more from the state of the weather than any other cause. The price. is 41s cash. ri OP MILAILET, The late high winds and heavy rains appear to have done con siderable damage to the bine, owing to which, the demand, for most kinds of Hops, is fair, and prices have an upward tendency. The duty is now called only 170,0001. Picking will be pretty general to day. Nearly 100 pockets of New Hops have been disposal of, at prices varying from 6/ to 8/ lOs per cwt, Lord Cowley returned on Thursday to Paris from England. The Duke and Duchess of Nemours, and the Duke d'Aumale, are about to return to ParLs, and will proceed In a few days to the Chateau d'Eu. JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The Commis sio lers appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of the recent explosion at Jarrow colliery, have terminated their investiga tions at Jarrow, and left the district. The result of their labours will be communicated to the Home Secretary, and the publication of their report is looked forward to with great interest by the coal trade, especially in the north of England. VACANCY IN THE REPRESENTATION OF WIGAN.— The borough has been unexpectedly involved in the turmoil of a Parliamentary contest, by the sudden death of Mr. Peter Greenall, on Thursday last. Captain Lindsay was the same clay named as the Tory candidate, and a requisition was Immediately prepared by the Liberal+, calling upon Ralph Thicknesse, Esq., whose father formerly represented the borough, to come forward. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Thieknesse will respond to the wisees of the elec tors.—lfanchesfer Guardian. EXPLOSION OF TURPENTINE NEAR THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAinwar.—On Saturday night, about eight o'clock, an explosion of turpentine took place, under the most singu lar circumstances, near the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, which, owing to the disgraceful conduct of a cabman, was near being attended by serious consequences, not only to property, but life. About the time above stated a man was unloading a cart, laden with drugs, and carrying the articles into the shop of Mr. J. Knowles, chemist and druggist, of Seymour-street. Among other articles was a carboy of turpentine, which, on being lifted from the cast unfortunately burst, the whole of the spirits fall into the. gutter and on the pavement fronting Mr. Knowles's shop. One of the cabmen, who is unfortunately not known, plying on the Seymour-street stand (which is a great nuisance to the in habitants of the street, but of convenience to the London and Birmingham Railway Company, who have no room, like other railways, on their own p rem i ses f or ca b s ) wen t i n to Blundell's ham and beef shop adjoining Mr. Knowles's, for the purpose of, it was sup posed, lighting his pipe, but as it afterwards turned out, to have a lark with his companions by setting fire to the turpentine. On coming out of the shop he threw the lighted paper amongst the liquid, which floated in the gutter, and an explosion immediately fol ' lowed, a bright flame shooting up nearly as high as the second-floor windows of Use houses, and burning furiously for several minutes. To describe the alarm and confusion that prevailed is out of the question. The people in the various shops making purchases flew to the parlours behind the shops for safety from the flames, which threatened to destroy everything within their reach. The cabs were moved, but not before the paint upon them was blistered, at well as the paint upon the doors of the houses on the opposite side of the street. In every place touched by the turpentine flames were observed, and for a long dis tance the pavement appeared a sheet of fire. The inhabitants, aided by a body of police of the g division, succeeded, after much difficulty, in extinguishing the flames, but not before a great many windows were broken by the heat. Various reports were circulated ; one, that an explosion had taken place on the London and Birming ham Railway, caused several of the brigade engines, with the engine of the County Fire- office, to arrive, but their aid was not required. It is understood to be the determination of the inhabitants to offer a reward for the discovery of the dastardly miscreant who caused the explosion.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT. ARRIVAL OF THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET AT PLTMOUTH.—The eight line-of-battle ships, composing the experimental squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., with that Gallant Officer's Flag flying on board the St. Vincent, 120, Captah, Rowley, arrived in Plymouth Sound during Friday night from Cork. On Saturday morning several of the ships reported defects, which will be immediately attended to by the dockyard. The St. Vincent led in about 2.30 a.m., on Saturday morning, fol lowed by the other ships of the fleet, and the Rattler and Stromboli steam sloops. About eight o'clock the St. Vincent saluted the port admiral's flag, and the Neapolitan frigate, the Urania, 44, Captain Lettieri, saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Parker. The fleet left Cork harbour on Thursday afternoon, at which time there was both rain and fog. The order for sailing was sudden, and most unexpected, so much so that several officers were left behind in Cork, and will have to join their several ships at Plymouth. On Tuesday a splendid dejeuner was given by the officers of the Queen to about 300 of the gentry of Cork and neighbourhood. Dancing was .kept up on the middle deck until eleven o'clock, when the guests departed most highly gratified with their entertainment. Rear-Admiral Parker is still very unwell in his cot, on beard the St. Vincent. He will strike his flag at Devonport, and Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.8., the superintendent of the dockyard, will hoist his flag on board the St. Vincent, and assume the command. Sir Samuel Pym was appointed to the command-in-chief by the Admiralty• on Friday. Mr. Lumsdale, the master attendant, will perform the duties in the dockyard during the absence of the Admiral superintendent, and Captain Manly Hall Dixon, of the Caledonia, 120, will command the ordinary. The flag of the commander-in-chief, at Devonport, Admiral Sir John West, K.C.11., has been shifted to the Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, which vessel will ultimately be his flag-ship at that port: The Queen is to fire the morning and evening gun while at Plymouth Sound. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE Mr. Bunn commences the winter campaign here on Saturday, with a corps- operatique and chcerographique, such as no other English theatre can boast. He retains the services of all the operatic nota bilities of last season, including the "Enchantress" Anna Thillon, whilst in every department the operatic strength of the company has been increased by new engagements. Among these the most prominent, Certainly, is that of Mdlle. Jenny Lind, the prima donna of the Impe rial Theatre. &Ain, who, in the opinion of the dilettanti, may fairly dis pute with Leutzer the right to the ti le of Nightingale of Germany. We are glad to see this lady's name appear in the Est of the Drury company, for we believe that attempts have been made to prevent her appearing there, which attempts it would appear, have not succeeded any better than they deserve. The engagement of this lady speaks well not only for the taste, but for the tact and diplomacy of the manager of Old Drury. H. Phillips, who has just returned from America, also joins the Drury company, as does Allen of the Princess's. This last engagement is, perhaps, the most important that Mr. Buen has made. His operatic corps was last season very weak in tenors. He wanted a musician-like tenor, as contradistinguished from a mere singer of ballads : in Allen he has secured one of the most tastefld singers, and accouplished musicians of the day—one who thoroughly understands and is capable of doing full justice to the compositions of the great Italian masters. Wallace, whose performance at concerts during the last season have acquired for him a high name in the musical world, and of whose talents as a composer Fame speaks highly, has a new opera, which will be produced during the present season, and which has excited the greatest expectations ; and Benedict will also produce a new grand opera during the Course of the season. Negotiations have also been entered into with Meyerbeer for the production of his opera, The, Camp of Silesia, and Donizetti for a new opera of which Scribe is to write the libretto. In the Ballet department we are to have Adele Durnilatre, Plunkett, and Mademoiselle Flora Fabbir, a young lady who possesses a high continental reputation but who is as yet new to the English public. An engagement has also been entered into with the Risleys and with Wieland. These latter engagements will give the ballet directors an opportunity of Introducing great variety into this species of entertainment—an op portunityof which MM. Albert and Barrez will, no doubt, know how to avail themselves. It is not often that a ballet director has such talent at his command as those of the Risleys, father and sons. Among the novelties promised in this department arc La Fille de ilarbre, a new ballet composed expressly for Drury-lane, by MM. St. George and Albert, the music by Adolphe Adam, and the ballet which is now drawing all Paris to the Academie, and which has in fact been the saving of that theatre, and . of M. Leon Fillet, its direc tor, entitled Le Diable a quatre. Schira is musical director, Tully chorus master, and Harley stage-manager. The scenic department is under the direction of Grieve, and the general management under that Bunn himself—Bon Voyage! Mr. Bunn, may no unforseen ill nesses of principal performers derange your plans, but may you be able fully and fairly to carry out your programme, and then your season cannot but be a most successful one. REDUCTION OF FARES.— The South-Western and Brighton both announce a great reduction in their fares, to com mence on the Ist proximo, when the fares by the latter from Gosport to London by every train will be the same as from Southampton to London ; the fares being 16s. first class, and 12s. second class. The Brighton having made the requisite increase in their stock of car riages, are induced to reduce their fares, in conformity with the an nouncement of ➢ir. Rowland 11111, the Chairman, at the last meeting. The fares by the third class, or Parliamentary trains, will be 4s. 3d., second class to., first class 10s., accomplishing the distance in two hours and a half. UNITED STATES.-LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT.- By the arrival of the packet-ship, Susquehana, Captain West, from New York, we have papers from that city to the 2d inst., a day later than previous arrivals, but they contain no fresh intelligence. The American steamer ➢lamora was to leave New York on the same day as the Susquehana ; there is not, however, up to this hour, any tidings of her approach. , _ _ FATAL FALL FROM INTEMPERANCE.—Mr. Baker held an inquest on Saturday at the King's Arms, Prospect-place, Hackney-road, on the body of Ann Tyrrell, aged sixty-three. The deceased was the wife of a superannuated ward beadle of Bishops gate, and resided in Prospect-place. On Friday last she had been drinking freely of spirits, and had fallen in her room several times during the day. About five o'clock in the afternoon, her landlady heard a noise on the stairs, and on going to ascertain the cause, she found the deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs, with her head bent under her, having evidently fallen down the whole flight. Mr. King, a surgeon, was called in, who pronounced her to be quite dead, having broken her neck. Verdict, " Accidental death." DEATH OF SHERIFF Al A C DONA LD.—lt is with un feigned regret we announce the rather sudden and premature death of James Macdonald, Esq., advocate, one of the Sheriff-substitutes of the county of Edinburgh. Sheriff Macdonald was in the full pos session of health, and in the execution of his official duties not many days ago, having sat on the bench in the Sheriff Court on the 10111 instant. Mr. Macdonald's sister, with whom he lived, was seized with small-pox, from which disease this lady is now recovering. It is supposed the Sheriff had caught the malady, but he was also considered in a fair way till Tuesday morning, when he grew much worse, and expired at ten o'clock at night. Mr. Mac donald, who we believe was in his forty-fifth or forty-sixth year, was greatly respected as a clear and upright judge, and as an amiable man; his early death is, therefore, a subject of deep and sincere re gret to all who had the happiness of bis friendship and acquaintance. —Scotch Reformers' Gazette.

P i W.,ile on the subject of the last jonrlleY..°f tt . 'V °` ; peror Nicholas to Warsaw, the newspapOrs tilt P t ; t i s .

It is now full time to oppose tl ` A s pagation of such idle reports, with the narrative ° to of ocular witness, of the real facts relating to the soj‘ the Autocrat in the capital of unhappy Poland. Let us begin with stating that the present ei It o r stances of that country would scarcely offer a bett er portunity for the exercise of the paternal f e elings 4s t lief sovereign. To all the evils which continue to 1, 2 ' -e. Poland these fifteen years, to political oppressiol' a ll— , iigious persecution, without a parallel in moderg s t a fresh calamity has lately been added. The bad W I T, e r of last year has occasioned a scarcity, and the ov,'r''',ll4 mg of the rivers at two distinct periods, in the si" . o ff and immediately before the harvest,, has ravaged ese habitation and every field in many a district. t t ' 1,1 misfortunes have been aggravated and prolong, ti .if the scarcity itself, which prevented the sowing of . t he the land. As to the potato crop, the principal food of t o poor, its deficiency in the autumn raised the price of o ic useful plant so exhorbitantly high, as scarcely to a, the the possibility of using it for seed, so that, to oat appalling effect of present misery, is superadded threatening anticipations for the future. In the 113 l of this awful visitation, the apathy of tio n ut „ h re: ties is such that no measures whatever have hn, 01.11 sorted to in the least adapted to diminish the Il re- c, consequences which it forbodes. This is not all; tbk• 14 4 • Governor of Sandomir, foreseeing the result of toe o p' ness of the harvest, thought himself bound to call it,e tention of the Government to the subject, and stated no unless energetic measures were resorted to, a fo was inevitable. In answer to his remarks, lie WAS lis missed his office as the propagator of a false alarm. 3 be foresight, however, has been fully vindicated from r e beginning of winter, one of the most severe evcr membered. The absolute want of food was most etie(f ielt in the spring, has ever since gradually increased) a" is It wno at its c. is more limax particularly in the ancient palatinates 0°1: Sandomir, Plock, Lublin, Augustow, as well in Porto the palatinate of Cracovia, that the famine and ill 0 . evils in its train have been the most felt. In those lot fortunate provinces, entire masses of people, dep riv? to every necessary, wander about the country, divided la., bands, in search of the most loathsome food, oftener more adapted to soothe their hunger than to a to nourishment. Numberless diseases, the anaYed„st,c r consequence of destitution rapidly diminish the P°,qves if these' unfortunate teen, and despair sometime s " I : A l' them to acts of violence which the authorities a re o° ' ways able to repress. . At the sight of so much misery, who could repast° o icl moved ? What hatred, be it ever so implacable, ed°o. avoid relenting ? Yet the Emperor has remaine,i9g; Jiff( rent. He has seen nothing or he would see n 31"ise and he has not even inquired" into the causes °' . 4 st calamity or thought of any remedies by which it °l'or be alleviated. All his time at Warsaw has been,edll grossed by military pomp and parade. He r e p ee "oo visited the citadel, as if to convince himself with his b e eyes that it is in a good posture of defence ; and b i e w itb' trayed, in this respect, some of the anxiety us°?4atie one who examines his weapon on the eve of til ,. for, same. He also made severa trips to Georgics" Mesa mercy Modlin), situate a few miles from Warsaw' res t destined to check the country all around. T l ' c l s ii of his time the Emperor passed in r eview"' r s ta tary exercises, and ceremonial levees. But d wrong. He also paid a visit to the studen'pr Warsaw, on the following occasion. One day, t, 11 .! ear peror, perambulating the streets of Warsawin el'inso' ria,ge, fell in with two students, who neglected f 0 orf ver their heads in his presence. He immediatfirloel, dered his coachman to overtake them, a nd he ' OO O asked them if they did net know who he %vas• hr eeptil them having answered, "No, my General," b e retorted, " What, then, not know your So vele frT °l :: This apostrophe struck the two young men with 'otjie' while his Majesty added, " Look at me well, that s 9 r er time you may not forget the person of your Ed 3130.0 but I shall take care, besides, to make myself W aeic r all the students."
