One profitable article of transport will be the cattle and sheep an 114Y sent from the north to the southern markets. Already .7,000 cattle, and 150,000 sheep travel annually along the direct road 'Nen Inverness to Perth, for the Falkirk and other markets. Atout 4 Many more from the western Highlands would join at Kingussie 14. Dalwinnie, half-way ou the line.

There are some distinguishing features in this projected railway calculated to give it a decided preference over foreign railways generally. tat. The preliminary concession for ninety years, under very fa vourable terms, has been already obtained from the Belgian Govern ment, so that there is no risk of present or future competition, or necessity for agreeing to disadvantageous terms In order to obtain such concession. As, according to the law of England, a certain must be deposited before a railway Bill be read in Portia _, so a deposit must be paid into the public treasury of Belgium, co be afterwards appropriated to the construction of the line, which deposit completes the agreement already entered into. 2. This railway is the second that has been offered to private en terprise, as distinguished from the State system of railways. hitherto prevalent in Belgium. It embraces a line of country inferior to none in Europe. As elements of profit the traffic and transit will be very great, the line running through the richest, most fertile, and most po pulous part of Belgium, abounding in minerals, coal, iron, lead, zinc, &c., with quarries of building stone and marble : and connecting it self with the railways of the State, and also with the great line from Calais to Cologne, and, by an intended branch from Mons to Manage (for which the preliminary concession has also been obtained), uniting Itself with another great line between Brussels and Paris, which con nects the capitals of two kingdoms. 3d. Its length from Namur to Liege is 48 3 ,4 English miles, and the line from Mons to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 65 3 ,4 miles of railway. Theline from Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government survey undertaken by M. Magis, has been subjected to the Inspection of Mr. Rennie, and the estimate applied to this line carefully checked by nr.zotu ment, him. 4th. On the banks of the river and on the line of this railway there are already twenty-two smelting furnaces, two foundries, three roll ing mills, twenty-three forges, several zinc and copper works, glass houses, saw-mills for wood and marble, paper-mills, potteries, and firebrick manufactories. What these may be when the railway is in operation may be gathered from the evidence adduced before Par liament in England, that the average effect of railways has been tO quadruple the transit and traffic previously existing. The increase in Belgium has hitherto more than doubled this ratio, which must be further increased by the opening of the German markets, through the iperation of the Zollvereiu. sth. The responsibility of Shareholders is limited by the Belgian law to 3-10ths of the amount of the value of the shares. Applications for prospectuses and shares (see form) may be made Iseph Cary, Esq., at the offices of the Company, 52, koorg,ate- to Jc street SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vutiltr Opinion. Who runs may read." FOREIGN. Marshal Bugeaud landed at. Algiers on the 27th ult.; ou the 29th he received the authorities, and announced to them that during his visit to Paris he had impressed upon the Government the necessity of making Algeria independent of resources from France in case of war, and of maintaining from 90,000 to 100,000 troops in the colony. The Semaphore de Marseilles states that the Marshal had received dispatches from General Lamoriciere, informing him that Abd-el-Rader had again made his appearance on the western frontier, and that he had in consequence embarked for Oran on the 31st. In answer to a deputation from the Agricultural Society, who had presented him with a sword voted by the colonists, Mar shal Bugeaud said " it would be 'necessary to fire a few more shots, and the exvcdition to Bngia will soon secure to us the fertile valleys of kabylia." The Dul:e de Moniitensier, who has been promoted to the rank of a Lieutenant-Colonel of Artillery, was expected to arrive on the 9th at Marseilles, on his way to join the ex pedition. . The Presse contains a correspondence from Berne, of the 3d inst., which admits that the Lucernese had sustained serious loss, adding that their allies of the canton of Uri had suffered most severely. The other accounts leave no doubt of the complete discomfiture of the free corps. The con querors are said to have made above 1,500 prisoners, whom the Lucerne Government, which intends to make its ag gressors pay the expenses of the war, has sent into the moun tains of the little cantons. The number of the killed is not yet ascertained The Vvrort has addressed a circular to the cantons, calling upon them to prevent the raising of reinforcements, and to repress civil war, and stating that they had sent federal troops Into the Freiamt, a Catholic district of Argovia, where a rising was al prehended. Letters from Rome, dated the 21st ult., announce the ar rival in that city of their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess of Tuscany from Florence. The presence of the King of Naples and the Grand Duke of Tuscany at Rome at the same period, leads the inhabitants to hope may further the wished-for project for theconstruction of railroads from Rome to Naples and to Tuscany. The Constitutionncl says that a small Spanish squadron is about to be sent from Ferrol to Monte Video, to protect Spanish interests in the Plata, and that the Duke of Seville, second son of Don Francisco de Paulo, will command La Perle frigate, which is to form part of the squadron. The Madrid Gazette mentions the capture, in the Bay of Chilehes, of a smuggling v:..ssel, which had a crew of 18 men. LAW AND pommy. _ _ The affairs of the late Romford Bank were again before the Court of Bankruptcy. A second dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound was declared on the estate of Thomas Johnson, and the further hearing was adjourned to the 10th of May. At the Gloucester Assize, in the case of Yearsley v. Heane and another, which was an action for false imprisonment, brought by a debtor against a creditor and his attorney for arresting him, notwithstanding his protection from the Bankruptcy Court. Lord Chief Baron Pollock observed that' he did not think the protection could be made the founda tion of au action of trespass. It was a mere shield, and not a sword—something that enabled a man to get out of cus tody when in it, and directed that the verdict should be en tered substantially for the defendants. The Central Criminal Court was engaged in trying cases of larceny. Various pickpockets were convicted and sentenced in the course of the day. The notorious Captain Pratt was fully committed from the Mansion House on various charges of forgery and swindling. It was stated that fifty clear cases of swindling would be established against him, all of which have been committed since the 19th of last month. _ At Clerkenwell, John Shaughnessy was charged by police constable 201 G with having violently assaulted him. The constable was taking a man to the station-house on Sunday week, when. the prisoner interfered and ordered the constable to let the man go ; on refusing to do so, the prisoner beat and kicked him in so dreadful a manner that he has been ever since unable to perform his duty. The prisoner waa . sentenced to one month's imprisonment without fine. A man named Howard was committed from Marlborough street for plundering a licensed victualler of several glasses. He came with a basket, such as that which was used by publicans for glasses, and said he had been sent by a neigh bouring publican to borrow a few tumblers. The tumblers were given to him, he was watched, followed, and taken into custody. Ins' description answers that of a man who has for some time been levying contributions on licensed victuallers. Mr. David Wood, a baker, carrying on business in Mos- . cow-road, Bays Water, and Mr. George .Anderson, residing at No. 66, High-street, litixton, charged with having broken a gas-lamp belonging to the Imperial Gas-light Company, were tined 16s. each, at the Marylebone Police-court. Mr. Train committed an elderly man, named John W illiams, for three months with hard labour, for stealing newspapers and other articles from coffee-shops. • Two boys named Mountioy and Cullow, neither of whom was more than 12 years of age, were committed from the Thames Police-office for horse steeling.

It is said that his Royal Highness the Prince of Syracuse, brother to the King of Naples, intends shortly to visit this country and that his sojourn in England will be of some duration. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford are expected to arrive in Belgrave-square for the season on the ISth i nst Mt:tar:Mina ane are "expected to return from Paris to Iloldernesse .house at the latter end of the present or early in the ensuing week. The Blarquis and Marchioness of Blandford have returned to town from Paris. The Earl of Durham and the Ladies Mary and Alice Lanibton and a family circle have been passing the Easter holidays at Lambton Castle. The Noble Earl and Lady Mary attended the performance of Divine Service at New earth on Sunday, when the Rev. the Dean of Durham preached a sermon on national education. The Earl of Moray, accompanied by the Ladies Stuart, has arrived in Stratforil-place from Darnaway Castle, N.B. The Noble Earl has not been in town these three years. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton and family have arrived in Belgrave-square for the season. We regret to hear that his Lordship is at present suffering from a severe attack of gout. The first Almack's ball will take place on the 16th inst., for which Jullien and Koenig's baud are retained. MIS CEMX.ELNEOUS. On Monday evening a meeting of the members and friends of the Church of England Society of Young Men to aid Mis sions at Home and Abroad, established last year, was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purrose of forming an auxiliary in Southwark. Resolutions, approving of all the missionary institutions, and to form the proposed auxi liary, under the name of "The South London Auxiliary. Church of England Young Men's Society," were then unani mously adopted. On Monday the numerous public asylums for the shelter of the houselcss poor in the metropolis, consisting of those in Playhouse-yard, Glasshouse-yt.rd, Ogle street, Marylebone, and Market-street, Paddington, closed for the season. The number of unfortunate individuals who have received shelter and food in the above excellent asylums since their com mencement, in the early part of December last, has been upwards of 140,000, many of whom would have perished from cold and hunger had not those places been open to re ceive them. The annual change of the officers of the Landing Depart. ment took place on Monday ; a certain number being sta tioned at each of the Docks and appointed to the various compartments of those establishments to take the ac counts of ships' cargoes, or attend the examination and de livery of the more important and valuable descriptions of merchandise, &c. according to their separate capacities; the remainder of Le officers being retained at the head esta blishment in Thames-street, for the supply of the quays and wharfs on the banks of the river, and the reinforcement of the corps at the different dock-establishments, as occasion may require, in consequence of the sudden influx of shipping and pressure of business, or from other causes connected witk the trade of the Port. The whole of the river dues on shipping frequenting the port of Stockton-on-Tees have been abolished from Wednes day last.. Great rejoicings took place in the town in conse quence, and the trade of the port is expected to be greatly increased by the removal of these imposts, which have been purchased by the Darlington and Stockton Railway. It will gratify the patrons of the English stage.to know. that her Majesty has been pleased, in the most unexpected and condescending manner, to express her desire to uphold the only national theatre now open, by conveying to the lessee of Drury-lane her gracious intention to honour his establishment with a state command, which is appointed to take place, we believe, on the 24th instant. The annual festival of the Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade was celebrated on Friday last at the Piazza Coffee-house, Covent-garden, where about fifty gen tlemen connected with the trade and commerce of the cities of London and Westminster, &c., sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Cuttris.

To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur to Lie;e, Gentiemen,—A greeably to your requeFt I proceeded to Belgium in he earl part of the present month, and on the sth and 6th instant, in company with Monsieur Magis, the engineer of the Government, and by whom the plans and other documents were prepared, having made a' minute examination of the whole line of country through which the railway passes, and compared the plans and sections of the same, and having also investigated the various calculations rela- • tive to the cost of constructing the railway, and compared them with similar documents relative to the existing railways of the State, I am of opinion that the proposed line of railway is laid out with judgment and accuracy, and every way worthy of the repu tation of Monsieur Magis ; that it is very easy of execution, that it presents no difficulties of cutting and embankments, or works of art, that the inclinations scarcely exceed the inclinations of the river Meuse, to which it runs parallel, and that it is one of the easiest and best lines in Belgium. The works can be executed for the estimate. And, finally, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals, with which it abounds, and"that as a main trunk line from the east to the west part of the kingdom it combines great local and great political advantages, inasmuch as it unites the mineral and manu facturing districts with the passenger traffic from Calais to Paris, Calais to Cologne , Calais to Dijou and Lyons, and to the countries eastward of Liege, and it - only, requires the manage and Ifo.. nun mays, likewise comprehended in the con cession, to render this one of the most complete railways on the Continent I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, ,ondon, March 22, 1 845 .

BRA ZILS. ller Majesty's packet Linnet, Lieut. Dicken commanding, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday morning, and landed her mails just at the moment of the mail-coach leaving for London, so that her bags were posted on en masse, without being sorted. Sht left Rio de Janeiro on the 16th of Feb.,and brought freight in gold, and diamonds to about 16 , 000 in value. Her passengers were Messrs. Thomas and Priestley , and a miner. 'the barque Gloucester, Henderson, was aban doned in 8 deg. south of Rio de Janeiro, .and the crew taken off and conveyed into Ri..) by the Sardinian brig Giove, from Buenos Ayres. The following British merchant- vessels were at Rio :—The Homely, the Star, and the Emilia, for Liver pool ; the Richmond, the Fox, and the Iron Queen, for London ; the St. George, for Antwerp; the Conquest, for the Channel ; the Eliza Kincaird, for the northern ports ; the Diadem, for Marseilles ; and the following were unfixed :—The St. Lawrence, the Gulielino, the Elizabeth, the Antelope, the Buctouche, and the Sir John Beresford. Freights ruled at 50s. for Antwerp, Trieste, Constantinople, or the Channel, for orders. Exchange on London, '24% ; on Paris, 380; on Hamburgh, 710; Six per Cent. Stock, 75i. Business in all branches had been exceedingly limited; the several markets had been destitute of the slightest interest, and apathy had been in the several departments a characteristic feature. In piece goods the arrivals had been moderate,business restricted, and market dull. A small lot of American cottons com manded full prices. Coffee, superior, 235. Bd. per arroba (a measure of a fraction less than 331b5.) ; first good, 255. sd. ; first ordinary, 225. Ild. ; second good, 225. 24. The export duty on coffee is 11 per cent.

Of hides—heavy, per lb., 180 reis • light, 19 reis. Sales for February—of coffee, 36,000 bags; of sugar, in cases, 250 ; of hides, 10,000. The approaching confinement of the Empress was looked forward to with some anxiety. The French naval Cora meatier at Monte Video had retused to_acknowledge the right of the Buenos Ayrean Commodore, to enforce the rigidity of the intended blockade, until he received instructions from his Government thereon. The United States frigate Raritan, had captured a Portuguese schooner in Rio harbour, but had been necessitated to give her up again.

GRANT TO MAYNOOTIL—Last night, at seven o'clock, a meeting of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood was held at Farringdon Hall, King's Arms Tavern, Snow-hill, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Commons against the pro posed grant to Maynooth College, Captain Fishborn, R.N., in the chair, who was supported by the Rev. J. Hyams, of Camberwell, the Rev. J. Pizey, and &event other clergymen of different denominations of religion. The meeting having been addressed by some of the reverend gentlemen on the platform, resolutions were unanimously agreed to, in eaect, that it was inconsistent with a Protestant faith to appropriate any portion of the public revenue for the endowment •f Popery; that there was no contract by which the Legislature was bound to make the grant annual, and that the meeting pledged itself to offer every constitutional opposition to the measure. A petition, founded upon the resolutions, was also agreed to, when, thanks being voted to the Gallant Chair , man, who briefly replied, the meeting broke. GRANT TO MAYNOOTR.—Last evening a large meeting of the ministers and congregations of the various churches and chapels at the east end of the metropolis was held at the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, for the purpose of opposing the Government grant to Maynooth College. Sir Culling Eardley Smith, Bart, was in the chair, supported by Charles Hindley, Esq., and a large num ber of clergymen of several l'rotestant denominations. Reso lutions condemnatory of the proposed increase of the grant were passed, and the meeting separated. REPRESENTATION OF IVEST KENT.—MAIDSTONE, MONDAY EVENING.—This afternoon a numerously attended and most important meeting of the freeholders of the western division of the county of Kent was held in the spacious ball room of the Star Hotel, High-street, Maidstone, opposite the Town-hall. Long before the hour appointed for holding the meeting carriages began to arrive, containing several of the most influential gentlemen and yeomen in the district. By one o'clock not ewer than three hundred had assembled. Captain Marsham, R.N., took the chair. Captain Austin proposed the Hon. Viscount Ho lmesdale (son of the venera ble Earl Amherst, of Noel Pa rk, Sevenoaks) as a tit and proper person to represent the freeholde r s of the western division of the county of Kent in Parliament. The resolution having been seconded, and carried unanimously, Viscount Holmes dale then addressed the meeting, declaring himself in favour ir o c a b y n a t o t iftooSn on i b h n e e o o rt pta P hr, e t e uo l f. . hi li tichh e e of protection to agriculture, opposed to the Anti-Corn-law himself m an e d e ax expressio n s ri supporter enssfaioln,osuor o fo f fd t l i i tsa e h po l icy grant Leagu e,c le e l t re s d o meeting, but the majority appeared in favour of the Noble Viscount.

The prison stands on an acre of ground, and contains 3,000,000 bricks. The auctioneers (Messrs. Pullen) in the advertisement describe the place as a "town in miniature." At present it is not, decided what improvements will take place on the site—whe ther a new street will be formed, or accommodation afforded for the administration of public justice It seems that the Corporation of London have purchased the property fur 29,000/. The present building' was erected after the Gordon riots, in 1750, three former buildings having been destroyed by fire. The prison was opened yesterday, and many availed themselves of a farewell glance at the place where debtors were confined. Those prisoners who remained when the pri son was ordered to be closed, about three years ago, have been removed to the Queen's Prison, whither all Chancery prisoners, who were exclusively sent to the Fleet, are now ordered to be confined until they 'comply with the orders of that Court. In a short time the walls will disappear, and in their stead it is hoped that something more refreshing to the mind's vs will be formed. DR. W OLFF. Captain Grover has received a letter from Dr. Wolff, written on board the steam-boat at Malta from whence he expected to sail on the. 28th ult. and to arrive at Southampton about the 10th inst. On Dr. Wolff's arrival in London a public meeting will be held, when he will give an account of his perilous journey and residence at Bokhara. At Constantinople Dr. Wolff was received most kindly by Sir Stratford Canning, who defrayed his expenses from that place to Southampton. As this is probably the last occasion Captain Grover will have to report Dr. Wolff's progress, he is happy to state, that during the whole of his journey Dr. Wolff has experienced the greatest kindness and most effective assistance from every one in the service of her Majesty. EUGENE SUE'S"ROMANCE—" DE ROHAN, OR, THE COURT CONSPIRATOR."—The chief characters in this work are all historical, and not merely so in name, but in every particular connected with and arising out of - their introsluction to the reader. The knowledge of this gives a weight and value to the narrative which no mere fiction can hope to attain in the reader's mind. An other noticeable feature is that the work takes a view of the character of Louis XIV., and of his time, %holly different from that which has long been the prevalent one. Another admirably drawn character is the famous Dutch philosopher, Affimus Van Den Enden, the tutor of Spinosa, and the beloved friend and confident of John De Wit, who also plays a conspicuous part in the story. It would be difficult also, to find any character in fiction that offers more exact type of the high aristocracy of the period treated of, than does the gallant, the brilliant, the accomplished, the high minded, yet the weak, the vacil latory, the inconsistent, the effeminate De Rohan.— Cour t Journal. THE MURDER IN ST. GlLus's.—The prisoner upon being taken to Newgate on Saturday evening was placed in one of the cells situate in the upper part of that portion of the gaol known as the chapel-yard, and two men appointed to sit up with him during the night. Upon passing through the various passages leading to his cell he held his head down, and appeared as if anxious to escape the observation of his fellow-prisoners. On Sunday he attended divine ser vice in the chapel, and was led to his seat by one of his gaolers. He paid particular attention to the service, seldom raising his eyes from the book. After returning to his cell he complained of a slight headache, after which he remained silent for several hours. The person who is appointed to watch him during the day describes him as of the most sul len temperament, sitting for hours together without speak ing. Yesterday, between eleven and twelve o'clock, his mother visited him, a nd had a long conversation wi th him ; she was very much ' afrxted, and repeatedly shed tears. The prisoner was also evidently much distressed in his feelings, although making the most strenuous efforts to conceal it After her departure the prisoner hurried back to his cell, and a pp e ared very much dejected; ind eed, it is the opinion of those who are about him. and who from their experience in such matters are entitled to some attention, that his courage, which is but assumed, will shortly entirely desert him, and if (as it is but too probable from the state of the calendar) his trial should not come on before next session, he will ere that make some species of confession. SUPPOSED MURDER OF A CHILD AT HAMPSTEAD. —Yesterday morning, about half-past five o'clock, as police constable Mackaye, 123 S, was proceeding round his beat, between Haverstock-terrace and the Load of Hay, he dis covered lying in the ditch, alongside the main road, a green old to . th T e heboty station l stuff bundle. On opening it, he found the body of a remark ably fi ne male child, apparently aboutale polic eweek was In the first instance c onve y ed by u house in Heath-street , and from thence to the Yorksh ire Grey, where it was seen by Mr. surgeon, of iiamp- Gowe r , stead, whose opinion was that the deceased had been born alive, and had lived several days. Information having been forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coroner, he at once issued his warrant to Mr. Gower to make a post modern examination of the body. i- 6,442,607 A decrease in the Treasury accounts of .... 17,790,832 Au increase in the private deposit ac counts of The private accounts-current, as specified in the total ope rations of the quarter, show an increase in the receipts of 75,883,477 f, as compared with the preceding three months; the total sums received and paid on these accounts each amount to about 52,000,0001. sterling. The total advances on deposits of bullion amount to 14,978,000 f. ; the amount for the same purpose for the three months ending the 26th of December was 11,666,500 f. The advances on public securi ties were 5,429,000 f., being nearly the same as iu the pre ceding quarter. The amount of bills under discount is about 3,650,0001. The specie held by the Bank of France is about 10,300,0001., against an issue of - notes of about 9,930,000/. It appears, therefore, that the amount of specie, as compared with the circulation of notes, is again on the increase, and, the amount of bills under discount has suflered a decrease as coin with the last quarter, of nearly 2,500,000. sterling. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.- Yesterday a general meeting of the members of this Society took place at the London Tavern, for the election of six pen sioners, four men and two women.
