It Is proposed that the course of this line shall be from the Wor cester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way to a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two branches ; the one branch proceeding through or near the parish of Bostbury (from whence there will be a branch to Ledbury) to Here ford, where it will run into the station of the Great Western Com pany's Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford are' Shrewsbury Railway. The other branch will proceed from the point of division near Mal vern straight to Gloucester, and will join the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway near that city. This line will pass rather more than half a mile below Great Mal vern, and not far distant from the town of Upton-on-Severn, both of which places are at present entirely shut out from the benefits of rail way communication. The country has already been inspected, under the direction of the engineer, and it is found that there are no engineering difficulties of a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the greater portion of the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the gradients being very easy. Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will cross a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; but the whole length of the tunnelling will not much exceed one mile. From the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface of the country is as favourable as could be desired. The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will pass through a country peculiarly favourable, the surface being throughout nearly one continuous level. With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by the proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communication be tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester and Worcester, and between those cities and the delightful watering place and favonrite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will also give an easy and expeditious access from other popolous but more remote districts. The important market town of Ledbury, with the rich corn, fruit, and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and more profitable, connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fail to make a con dderable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the Port of Gloucester. The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South Wales, and by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlaen, it will give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining aistricts of the north of England—especially of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Ireland; and by means of the Great Western Railway, which ft joins at Gloucester, it will complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to Exeter in the one direction, and from Pembroke to Wolverhampton in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between the port of Gloucester and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the north ; it will be the nearest possible route from the extreme west of Eng land, and from South Wales, to all places north of Wolverhampton. The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the proposed line, and a description of its course, sufficiently indicate that it may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount of traffic It will supply to the port of Gloucester important and`balky articles of expert, drawn from the mining and manufacturing district of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still further deve lop the resources of those districts by increased facility of communi cation with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the traffic can scarcely be over-estimated : in one portion of the district alone—viz., between Wolverhampton and Stourbridge, there are about 100 blast furnaces in work, producing nearly 500,000 tons of pig iron annually, and It is admitted that the want of railway facili ties have hitherto greatly hindered the development of an important export trade from this district. The works at Droitwich and Stoke Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet manufactories ;of Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, and their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an important amount of traffic—certainly far beyond that now carried on with the present insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to be affected by the proposed line. The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of cheap and ready means of access to their principal markets. It will be an important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops, fruit, wool, and other produce, speedily - and cheaply conveyed to the great 3narkets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre of the great manufacturing population e Staffordshire and Worces tershire ; the advantages, too, will be mutual, as the lin e w ill a ff ord equal faci:ities for the conveyance of the mineral and manufacturing yroduce of the north to the rural districts. The n populati on of the districts affected by the proposed li ne , rec vm g from Wolv erhampton to Gloucester on the one h an d, an d f rom fl same place to Her e f ord on the other, is not less than 400,000 ; and aa the position of the country traversed, the line must be fed by LI the railways construed, ra strute n d a , a orto be formed, on eith er s id e .

Morning .. 9 minutes after 2 I Evening 28 minutes after 2 Madrid journals of the 23d September have been re ceived. Several of them are occupied chiefly with at tacks on the Ministry, and especially on the Finance Minister, for his contract with the Bank of San Fer nando, which the Herald° described as ruinous to the State. These attacks, however, fall harmless on Senot Morr. Ile is evidently a man of some energy, and his perseverance in enforcing the new tax deserves great praise. No people pay taxes with such a bad grace, or so unequally, as Spaniards, and it is therefore natural that great opposition should be made to a plan which will allow none to escape from their fair share of the burdens. One of these journals states that the two car riages supposed to be presents from the Queen of ENG LAND to the Queen of SPAIN, belonged to Mr. BIILWER, the British Ambassador at Madrid. The following in telligence appears in the Barcelona journals:---" The Mediterranean squadron, under the command of Ad miral PARSEVAL DESCLIENES, composed of the Ocean of 120, Jemmapes of 100, Inflexible of 90, Diademe of 82. Alger of 78, Marengo of 78, Triton of 78, and th e steam-frigate Descartes, arrived on the 15th at Palma, in the Island of Majorca. At the moment the Diademe brought up in the roadstead, her main top-mast, which was found to be rotten, came down, and in its fall killed three sailors. No business was done on the Madrid Bourse on the 23d. Exchange on London, 37j. Some of the Paris journals, for want of a better subject, continue their comments on the Madagascar affair. Those of the Opposition seem to fear that by the union of the French and British forces in the attack on Tamatave, the claims of the French to the sovereignty of the island may be endan gered, and they recommend, therefore, that a powerful expe dition should be sent out without delay to assert their rights and punish the QUEEN. "It is the more necessary," says the National, " for the Ministry to come to a decision promptly and resolutely, as the question threatens to become much complicated. We have said that the English acted in con cert with us. This fact, which has excited the honourable susceptibilities of the press, appears to us—and we cannot be suspected of partiality in favour of England—perfectly natu ral. It was reasonable that a British officer should seek to protect the subjects of his nation, and to punish their oppressors; that is a right which we should exer cise to-morrow, if Frenchmen, inhabiting a country in the condition of Madagascar, should call the French navy to their aid, and we would not admit a plea of the right of property on the part of England to prevent us from defending our fellow -countrymen. It is, however, not to be denied that this intervention, on the part of Great Britain, imposes upon us the necessity of extreme activity in the measures of impression to be inflicted upon the Hovas. We must not allow England, under the pretext that her flag has been insulted at the same time as our own, to get before hand, and assume the part which belongs exclusively to France. In a word, we must not allow England to assume a sovereignty over a land which we maintain to be our own; and the best means of preventing this usurpation is, on the one hand, to declare to the English Cabinet, that the co-ope ration of the English navy at Tamatave was accepted only with reservation and as a friendly act, involving no conse quence of a nature to compromise our official position, and on the other hand, to send to Madagascar a large force to inspire upon the Hovas the respect which our flag is entitled to. The expedition which we recommend would besides have the effect of proving and reviving our too long forgotten rights over the islard of Madagascar. We must not content ourselves with a sterile vengeance for our defeat; we must re establish our fellow-subjects who have been expelled, by placing them under sufficient protection, and then the blood of our troops will not have been shed in vain for their country." The Siecle makes these remarks on the same subject : " The Ministry is at length convinced of the necessity of sending a formidable expedition against Tamatave. The behaviour of the natives since the attack conducted by M. ROMAIN DESFOSSES has been such as to admit of no hesita tion The sovereignty of France has been denied andm suited. We have at the same time to avenge our dignity and to enforce the execution of treaties. The sovereignty of France over Tamatave cannot be contested, even were o ur _ _ claim to the whole island of Madagascar called in question." The Moniteur publishes returns of the Customs' duties for the month of August last, which amounted to 12,413,503 f., being 1,866,959 f. less than during the same month last year• The amount of custom for the eight months ens:lipping. 31, enemy—the most culpable rashness, and the most inexcusa ble vain confidence ; .then, a decided and successful attempt to remedy that blunder by no extraordi nary inspiration of genius, but by doing the one only thing which a soldier of common sense could do on this occasion." While these doctors disagree so widely we will not attempt to settle the difference. The military character of NAPOLEON is placed far above the reach of minute criticism ; he accomplished with raw troops wonders in Italy, which in some respects outshone even the deeds of HANNIBAL; he raised the French army to the highest pitch of military glory, and was crushed at last, though not without a giant's struggle, by the united forces of Europe. To say, however, that he was great only as a soldier, is contrary to facts, about which there can be no dispute whatever. His admirable civil administration after France had been broken up by the madness of countless parties in the great revolution, and more especially his civic labours during the peace of Amiens, en title him to the very highest rank as a statesman and a legis lator. The new Code of Laws wa.s almost entirely his work —he superintended the investigations of the Commissioners discussed with them the most abstruse and intricate points of law with a readiness and ability which struck some of the veteran Solons with more wonder than even his great victo ries; lie settled the commotions in Ls Vendee, reconciled the great majority of the royalists to his Government, employed many of them in the army and in civil offices—in fact, rendered France more united than she had ever been under any, even the best of her legitimate Sovereigns. These, independent of other grand measures of reform, do more honour to NAPOLEON, and place him on a higher pinnacle of fame than all his splendid victories. He conmitted great faults, but he was a mortal, and therefore liable, like the greatest of mankind, to the errors, and foibles, and prejudices, as well as crimes common to humanity. It was, if we mistake not, one of the charges brought against Mr. O'CoNNELL, in the monster indictment, that he had en deavoured to excite the hatred of the people against the law, and bring the administration of justice into contempt. Now, if these be offences, then do we commend the justices of Rocbe=ter, and Sir JOHN MARarALL, Knt., K.C.H.. of Gillingham, and all the other parties concerned in the prosecution of JAMES MELLUM, at Rochester, on the 29 t I ult., to the kind and considerate attention of her MAJESTY'S At torney-General. It would appear that on the morning of thai day, a little boy, named JAMES MELLUM, was placed in the felons' dock of the County Court, at Rocheste.r, before W. M. SMITH, Esq., Chairman, and four other jus tices. NOw, what does the reader imagine to have been the crime, the commission of which had brought this precocious specimen of juvenile depravity into the felon' s dock of the County Court of Rochester. He was charged with having knocked down some walnuts from a tree. the property of Sir JoHN MARSHALL, Knt., K.C.H.. at Gilling ham. The fruit was valued at sixpence. The little boy pleaded guilty. Now; there is something excessively rich in the idea of five full-grown justices being assembled, in all the dignity of robes and fur, to investigate concerning the fate of sixpenny-worth of walnuts, the property of Captain Sir JOAN MARSHALL, K.C.H " whose only object," as the Chairman observed, " in bring ing the prisoner before the Court was to protect his orchard and his fruit, which he has a right to do." True all this "much ado about nothing" has a tendency to bring the administra tion of justice into contempt ; but up to this period the whole affair has been so richly ridiculous, has been such a perfect burlesque, that it is impossible to do otherwise than treat it as an excellent joke. But now comes the more serious part of this case. The little boy bad pleaded guilty, and the CHAIRMAN observed that he should inflict a penalty on him for stealing those walnuts ; rnd the magistrates, therefore, adjudged the prisoner to pay the penalty of Is. 6d., the value of the walnuts, together with the costs, 13s. 6d.—making a total of 15s. The mother of the boy, on hearing this decision, burst into tears, and said she could not pay that sum, she having a large family of children, and nothing to support them except what she worked hard for as a laundress, and 6s. per week she received from her husband, who is a marine artilleryman. The Chairman said that, as she could not pay the money, he must corn. mit the boy to the common gaol for fourteen days. Does the Chairman know what is the meaning of committing the boy for fourteen days ? Does Sir JoRN MARSHALL, who was present the whole time, and who does not appear to have interfered at all to get the ,sentence mitigated doe; Sir JOHN MARSHALL know the meaning of those words ? They mean that the boy is to be ruined here and hereafter that he is to be destroyed, body and soul—that he is to be for ever deprived of that by which alone lie can ever earn an honest livelihood—character; that he is to be cast loose upon society a tainted, corrupt, immoral, gaol-bird, from whose touch every honest man will shrink with loathing that he shall be forced to adopt crime as his calling, to sustain a miserable existence, to be ended at last amidst the horrors of a penal colony, or perchance on the scaffold. These must be the inevitable consequences of exposing a boy to the contaminating influ ences of a prison. Is Sir J. MARSHALL prepared to inflict such a punishment for such a mere piece of boyish mischief? Has he never, when a schoolboy, himself been engaged in robbing an orchard ? Have none of the magis- trates who sentenced this boy been equally guilty ? They need not be ashamed to avow it. Wiser and better men than they have done such things and have not been ashamed to confess it, JAMES MELLAM can quote high authority in extenua tion of his offence, for Lord ELDON has recorded of himself that in his schoolboy days there was no freak in which he took such delight as in robbing an orchard. The Chairman eventually gave the mother a month to pay the money in, declaring that if the money was not then paid the boy must go to gaol. Let us hope that some charitable person will, in the interval, pay the money, and save the boy from the utter destruction with which he is threatened. But whether the money be paid or not, there can be no doubt but that proceedings such as these are emi nently calculated to excite the hatred of the people against the law, and to bring the administration of justice into contempt. 1845, was 101,203,157 f. (4,000,0001.), showing a slight increase, as compared with the previous year. Thus, reckoning the other four months of the year at the same rate, the total amount of Customs for: 1845 would be about 6,000,0001., or less than one third of the Customs duty in this country. The KING on Friday left the Chateau at Eu in his carriage, at three o'clock, attended by the Minis ters of Justice and Commerce, Generals JACQUEMINOT, GOUR GAUD, and HOUDETOT, the Marquis DE STRADA, and M. DE BRAHAUT, orderly officers, and took a drive, visiting Treport in his way, and returning to the Château at six. In the even ing the Minister of the Marine left for Paris. On Saturday, at three o'clock, after the ceremony of the baptism of the young Prince of SAXE COBURG GOTHA, in the Chapel of the Château, at which the Royal Family were present, the KING accompanied by General GOURGAUD and his orderly officers, took an airing in his carriage, and returned to the Château at six. The Prince and Princese of SALInNo left Eu for Paris on Saturday. We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the Continental papers : " A letter from Athens of the 13th gives an account of the ar. rival of the Duke de Montpensifr in that city on the preceiing day. The Prince was received with the usual marks of distinction, and in the evening the King gave a grand banquet in honour of his visit. The same letter states that accounts had been received of an attack by 200 rebels on the fortress of Co:on, in the Maina. The assailants were, however, repulsed. "' After a cruel captivity of five years,' says the Mode, 'the King and Queen of Spain, recovering a liberty of which they had been unjustly deprived, have at last been permitted to choose the place of their exile. The Queen will meet at Rome her brother King Don Miguel, another victim of revolutions ; at Naples her son, the noble Infant Don Sebastian, who so valiantly fought for the cause of Spanish legitimacy. The King will find at Genoa the two Infants, his sons, with whom he parted 12 years ago, to join the royal army in Spain.' A Berne letter of Sept. 25, says:—' The President of the Communist Club of Berne, who was a simple workman at one of the printing-offices, has just been arrested. The club was imme diately closed. A formidable coalition of workmen has been formed at Soleure. The artisans at Argau are drawing up a peti tion against the liberty of manufactures, and against the introduz. tion of foreign manufactured produce.' " The Empress of Russia left Berlin on the 233 by the Anhalt railroad. Early in the morning guards were stationed to prevent the court-yard of the station and the approaches from being en cumbered by the crowd, and none but personages of high distinc tion were admitted. At 7 o'clock her Imperial Majesty arrived at the station, accompanied by the King of Prussia and the Princes, the Grand Duchess Dowager of Mecklenburg.Schwerin, Princess Frederick of the Netherlands. the Duchess of Dessau, with her children, and the Duke of Anhalt-Cothen. In a few minutes the train started with the Empress, accompanied by the King and Princes, who went with her as far as Cothen, and then returned to Berlin, where they arrived at four in the afternoon. The King of the Netherlands and the Duke of Cambridge were expected at Berlin, where apartments had been prepared for them, and also at Potsdam. " We learn from Posen that, on the 21st, the members of the new German Catholic Church in that city celebrated divine wor ship publicly for the first time according to their tenets. A dis turbance had been expected, but everything passed off quietly. " The Government of Electoral Hesse has strictly forbidden the congregation in places of public worship of the members of the new German Catholic Church, and declared that persons of that sect must restrict themselves to religious worship In their own houses. It appears, however, that in Wurtemberg and in Prussia there is a greater spirit of toleration. " The Constantinople State Gazette publishes the text of the two hatti.scheriffs addressed by the Sultan to the Grand Vizier, notify ing the dismissal of Riza Pacha and Saofete Pacha. They are very brief, and make no mention of the causes which have led to the disgrace of these functionaries. The Sultan states simply that it had become necessary to deprive them of their offices.

Scotland, arrived off Falmouth on Mon day, from Buenos Ayres, and dated July 12, 1845 : "We regret to say that no progress has been made towards a settlement of the question relative to the war on the other side of the river. It is understood that the Go vernment of Buenos Ayres will not enter into any arrange ment for that purpose unless in its own way, and by no means in the way England and France wish. It is also pretty generally believed that measures will be taken to force the Government into their views; but the effect of such measures cannot be speedy (still less decisive) for a long ,ime, unless some forces be brought to bear which do not at present exist in the field of action ; naval forces alone cm only act by blockading and cutting off communications. to proceed in that way only might require years to obtain the desired end. In the meantime British and French persons and property will be in great danger, and commerce stopped altogether. When Sir Robert Peel said, on the 4th and sth of April last, in the House, that there would soon be six vessels of war in this river, ' a force fully equal for the protection of British persons and pro perty,' he said what he did not understand, and it only shows what gross ignorance exists in high places relative to these countries. " How are vessels or their crews to protect persons or pro perty even in this city, much less in the open country at least 100 or 200 miles from the:coast, surrounded' by natives ? How can merchants embark their goods or effects with an opposing force on shore? " There are now at least seven or eight vessels of war— British, in the river, viz. :—Eagle and Curacoa, frigates; Firebrand and Gorgon, steamers; Collins, sloop; Racer, Acorn, and Satellite, brigs." , 5 4 • -"""'" •r o i i .„s-4 „A _ - C;ttn - ,-411114“; , tg u hap •m 0 4 • ‘14,1147 PORT of WISBECH, PETERBOROUGH, BIRMINGHAM, and MIDLAND COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY.

This line is intended to commence at the Port of 'Wisbech, by a junction with the line of railway now forming from Lynn, and pro ceed by Thomey to Peterborough, there uniting with the branch of the London and Birmingham - Railway to Northampton, and the Peterborough and Syston branch of the Midland Counties Railway, forming a through line from Yarmouth, Norwich, Derehain, Swaff- ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to Northampton, Birmingham,' Derby, Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts of England. The entire distance being completed In about 18 miles. The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length, will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following points will be self-evident. 1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England. 2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries to Wis bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor thern States of Europe. 3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica lion will be opened between the port of Wisbech, and the ports of Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool. 4. That this line will unite the Birmingham and Midland Counties system of railway with those of Norfolk, communicating with Nor wich and Yarmouth.

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. From the World pf Fashion, Magazine of the Courts of London and Paris.) MORNING CAPS.—Amidst the most fashionable novelties of the season, we have remarked some very pretty morning caps of embroidered muslin ; the front part is concealed by a kind of small half handkerchief, also of embroidered muslin, trimmed round the back part with two rows of lace, de scending on each side in the form of lappets, and orna mented with a blue ribbon, put on plain upon the centre of the head, and terminated on each side by a noeud of ribbon, with long ends dropping carelessly at the sides. DRESSES for the present month still continue to have all the freshness of a summer toilette. We cannot fail to admire that pretty plaid dress a carreaux, pink and white, and trimmed with two broad flounces, each more than three-quarters in width, and ornamented with a pink fringe, the heading of which is rather broad, formed of three rows of open work ; plain body, having a deep point, with no plait on either side, the centre of the corsage is composed of two pieces, forming the cross way on each side of the shoulders ; the back is also formed in a point, and plain and narrow at the sides ; the sleeves of this pretty costume; is trimmed with two narrow frillings, trimmed like wise with fringe EVE-NING DRESSES. —We have remarked several very charming toilettes intended for soirees dansantes ; these dresses are made a petit revers plain, and placed front and back instead of any other drapery, the back of the waist forming a kind of jacket • the sleeves are s h ort, and form a kind of facing by means Of a sort of wristband, which binds the sleeve, the skirt trimmed with four bread folds, reaching from the hips to the lower part of the dress. BoNNETs.--Already we have been favoured with a sight of some distingue looking ones made in velvet, of a rather open form, and ornamented with a bunch of two moderate sized feathers, or a boquet of three small ones, tipped with the same colour as the velvet; satin ribbons, likewise of the same colour, completes the ornamenting of the bonnet. FEATHERS this year have obtained great success amongst our most fasionable modistes, particularly those pretty plumes zephyriennes, the Argus feather, and others too numerous to mention. FLOWERS.—Wreaths in the hair will be much worn this autumn; we; may cite as those most in favour for their fresh and natural appearance, the Pamela wreath, and a crown a la Ninon, which encircles the back part of the head, and has a most youthful and becoming effect. MANTELETS.—Some very elegant ones have lately appeared of embroidered tarlatans, in the form of a shawl, opening over the top of the arms, and trimmed all round with three rows of lace. Then, again, there is the echarpe a capuchon, made of white cachmere, and lined with blue or lilac silk. Fashionable Colours for the present autumnal season are principally shades of green, particularly sea-green, violet, grey, and a variety of mixed colours, such as grey and red, grey and white, two shades of blue, lilac and white, &c., Nankin is the favourite hue for morning wear.

Bankes, Esq.), in the Court of E xc h equer , ••..•• Westminster, and received in the usual form her Maje s ty' s •••••• approbation:of the choice the livery had made of the gentlemen to fill that high and important office for the year ensuing. The Common Sergeant, in the absence of the Recorder, in troduced the new Sheriffs to the Cursitor Baron in a highly complimentary speech. The usual ceremony of counting ••••• horse-shoes and hob-nails, and cutting of sticks, was then performed by the senior alderman who has not passed the civic chair, and the members of the corporation returned to Guildhall. In the evening the new Sheriffs gave their Z 2 6 inauguration dinner at the London Tavern. Prince and Princess de Demidoff, accompanied by M. de Kozuchouski and M.

The Prince is said to be the richest aoble in Russia. •• •• , ROWING MATCH ON THE MERSEY.—The scullers' ~... contest for 501. a side between Henry Clasper, of Newcastle upon-Tyne, and Thomas Cerro!. of Liverpool, came off last E 3•• • Monday, on the Mersey, but was, altogether, a very hollow race. The match had created considerable excitement at • Liverpool and Newcastl e , and partially so in London ; an d •••....., from the reputation the men had acquired as scullers, a very first-rate contest had been expected. Though both men had been for a length of time in active training, they had each by ..... turns been very unwell. Clasper, however, had .recovered by the day of ro wing , b u t hi s opponent was still suffering • •••• much. The distance to be rowed was five miles, and betting, .... which had stood for some time at two to one on Clasper, was ..... materially increased in odds as the time approached for start ing. ....

In th e fi rs t t w o miles Clasper was a third of a •••• mile in advance, and in three miles was half a mile ahead. ... He then relaxed, and, taking it gently, won by two minutes. Carrol never stood a shadow of a chance. • Two Hour t s' T ROTTING M ATC2I .—On Tuesday the ..•..• match between Mr. Williams's bay horse and Mr. Wentley's .. black horse, came off over five miles of the Godstone road. .... The terms of the match were, that the horses should start ... together in harness, and continue on the road for two hours, • •• and the horse travelling the greatest distance within the ..., stipulated time to be entitled to the stakes, which were 201. a side; the drivers of the horses to be permitted to proceed and stop at their discretion during the contest, and the ... agreement was, that in case of breaking from a trot, the horse to be imine,liately pulled in and again to cover the . •'' ground not fairly trotted. The horses went away at a steady pace, and turned the first five miles in 24 minutes, the PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris black leading at 200 yards ; they concluded the next five is 14/ per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. miles in 22% minutes, and were pulled in and refreshed, and 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of then went on the road.

There was not quite so much business doing in Shares, but prices well supported. There is an arrival from Buenos Ayres to day, but the ad vices by it are not later than those before received. The extension of railway accommodation in Wales will be in all probability greatly accelerated by the adoption by the Legislature of one or more of the projects that is now, and has been forsorme time, before the public. Th e range o f country to be traversed by the Great North and South Wales and Worcester Railway, is exceedingly favorable, em bracing a large population (a most material in gredient in estimating probable returns for the future), and abounding, too, with agricultural as well as with mineral sources of profit, all of which are of the most legitimate character. At the present time the great internal resources of this pal tof the principality is wholly unpro vided with a railway or other convenient inland communi cation. It is a fact, too, of considerable importance that the owners and lesoees of the rich and important mines and quarries of North Wales desire a cheaper and better communication with the central and southern districts of the principality. The payment of the first instalment has been completed in the most prompt man ner, and there can be little doubt but that the Provisional Committee will make out a sound case for the concession of the line by the Imperial Parliament.

In the Foreign Quarterly &view for the present month, which contains an article extending to thirty-one pages, on the French Campaign of 1813 in Germany, we find these words :—" NAPOLEON, measured by the highest standard, was great only as a soldier. A great man certainly we cannot call him, who in the very outset of hiscareer, in the Venetian business, acted in direct contradiction, or rather in lordly despite of those laws of truth and justice, the capacity to re cognise which distinguishes man from the brute, far more certainty than any superiority of merely intel lectual endowment ; and a great king, or ruler, he never could be, who in endeavouring to influence human beings never appealed to any positive passion more noble than vanity, and whose chief reliance was on the purely negative affection of fear." Notwithstanding some strong proofs furnished by Colonel MITCHELL that BONAPARTE was not quite the great man he has been usually represented, and the glaring faults be bad committed in several important battles, evident to men of the most common understanding, such a partial and unjust character of one of the most re markable—we may say the most remarkable —man, not of the age, but of the last thousand years, we did not expect to find in a periodical entitled to great weight for its general ability and impartiality. The writer scarcely ventures to assert that he was not a great captain, for that would be instantly disproved by the most palpable facts—facts not admitted only by Frenchmen, but the universal voice of mankind; but, while cautious on that point, he endeavours to prove that in the campaign of 1813 he was hardly superio to BLUCHER or to any third-rate General. That he committed a grievous blunder at Leipsic no one can deny. He allowed his army to remain in a dangerous position till it was sur rounded by twice its numbers ; he sacrificed in vain the lives of his bravest soldiers, and with wanton recklessness of his own fate or that of the French army, he had made no pre paration whatever for a retreat, from which nothing but a miracle could save him. In this certainly there was no generalship, there was a foolhardy daring which he had often tried, and in which he had often been successful. We know not that the battles of Bautzen and Lutzen are deserving of great praise, but cer tainly they are not entitled to the encomiums passed on them by some writers. They both led to great slaughter, and to no results, though they displayed abilities which appeared sadly wanting at Leipsic. Speaking of the latter battle, LABAUME, who is not overpartial to NAPOLEON, says "vie may place this battle in the rank of his finest military, combinations, and consider it as the most brilliant of all those of which the annals of war preserve the record." This is ene view of the question, and the Reviewer takes another, which is equally remote from the truth. In fact, he describes "ualuuYette.;23;ttotrzozryor ra sim th p e l r e di tn eg g a s— rd a or gr t e h s e s a p n ree d d en an ce ge o r f oz it as a disgrace to the EMPEROR'S talents.
