Sommers. l'a submitting this undertakislg to the public, the promoters are intineneed no less by a convlcti,m of its importance as a direct con necting lino between the important towns of Chichester and Ports mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in affording a direct communication between the two great military and tie arsenals of Great B Bain —Portsmouth and Chatham. projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini st Ch cheater awl Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of oetninunica- Ron with the coast branches of railways along the south of England, coonesting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton toward; the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail way the ad vantap, , ,e of two termini in London will be secured—the one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London .bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the 5, - .•,ral docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position for a Lon ion terminus for merchandise of alt descriptions. .yrust line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will rornmetwe at or near t h e Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon (loo ant Brighton Wu:lvey, a distance of 21 miles front London • Ne' t it's course to Portsinotri,h it will pass thro ug h or near R e i gate, iglte , COM, Ockley,itudgwick, Cranley.

In..zniuelt as the existing ltiyi of railway to Dover branches off from tiro Lomt3a and Melton Rallroall at Reigate, this projected line will open up a cOmmuniestion by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill station, near Reigate, Ilea nearly in a direct line between Ports mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limps Held, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Dialling, Wrotham, Off ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Woodham. The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad 1 etween Portsmouth and Chatham 'will extend over 82 miles. To •the naval and military establishments :of this kingdom the construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa- Cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabouts, will enable the journey between them to be made. The formation of of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the electric telegraphic, that celerity of communication so important to be obtained between places of national importance. The warm support of the principal laadewners on the greater part of the line is pledged to this undertaking. The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplate 1 profit to result from carrying into effect this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of trail , : through the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the inutility of all comment in that respect.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Previsional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus et this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area a 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been meet carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plim, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line tb the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail- ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traille which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies else who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable ling of railway. ♦ lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascartaia that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate commnuication with the City ; while the dense popu fAtion of the City will enjoy a faciity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording It the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully oommensurato with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traille on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir raingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirc.s of which roach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,40 e persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un . . accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From there sources the following products are derived:— Per Ina.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—The most interesting event in the celebration of the anniversary of the Belgian revo lution was the public distribution of prizes to those pupils who had distinguished themselves in the univer sity and general concursus. The ceremony, which took place in the so-called Temple of the Auguatinians, was at tended by the King, the Queen, the Duke of Brabant, se veral Ministers of State and other high functionaries, and by a great number of the most respectable residents in this city. The introductory . discourse was delivered by M Van de Weyer, the Minister of the Interior, who set forth the advantages of the concursus, enlogised the strict impartiality of the distinguish :d persons who had to decide on the relative merits of each student, and indirectly but forcibly condemned all attempts to excite suspicions of the purity of motive and unbiassed judg ment of the jury of examiners. " Rest well con vinced, my young friends," said his Excellency, ad dressing the pupils, " that in order to attain a high de gree of morality yourselves, it is strictly necessary to have faith in the morality of others. Consult history, and you will discover that nothing great has ever been produced by mistrust, which only discloses an im poverishment and decay of mind." The part of M. Van de Weyer's speech referred to a portion of the Catholic ' party, which persists in throwing suspicion on the insti tution, as well as on the acts of the jury of examiners, who are appointed by the Legislature. The conclu sion of his speech was as follows:—." It was a happy idea, on the part of the patriotic Minister who first conceived the projeet of this concursus, to fix the day on which the laureates should receive the reward of their labours amongst the anniversary days of our national independence. His impression, no doubt, wail that the enthusiam inspired into the hearts of the young by the conquest of our free institutions should be accompanied by the solemn conviction that know ledge can atom secure their maintenance, that there is no true liberty save an enlightened one, and that the greater the number of our acquired rights the more numerous aso aro our duties towards our beloved country. For our parts, gentlemen, we shall endeavour to accomplish our task. Already has his Majesty, in his lively anxiety to forward the interests of studious youth, opened a new career for the active intelligence of the laureates, for the disinterested cultivation of science, for the sake of science, and for the national formation of the university corps, by the organisa tion of the institution of aggregate professors. The Go vernment, moreover, by the re- establishment of the per• manent inspection of scholastic institutions, will be en abled to unite all the elements of a good law on secon dary education. May I be allowed to express my sin cere satisfaction at being called upon as a Minister to carry out measures which as a professor I should hav e gratefully applauded, at a time when the approaches to the higher branches of instruction presented al most insuperable difficulties ? These reminiscences of past days press the more vividly now before me, standing as I am in the presence of the learned per sons here assembled, amongst whom I have the happi ness to meet again with professors who were once, and who are still my colleagues." M. Van de Weyer's speech was received in a manner which, fur a select Belgian assembly, may be termed enthusiastic. After an annual report had been read. the laureates received their prizes from the hands of the Minister of the Interior, acrd were presented by him to their Muj,s ties, who graciou' ly complimented them on their success. Au affecting episode (so to write) in the regular proceedings of the day must not be suffered to pass unnoticed. The pupil who obtained the first prize in rhetoric (written and oral) was Charles Petit, of the College of Mons. his composi. tions, which set forth the natural glory of Bel gium in the persons of its warriors, poets, prose writers, and artists, was read to the assembly, and greeted with considerable applause. The general seer°. Lary of the Minister of the Interior then aro4e and read a Ministerial report to the King, in which the long ser vices of the professor of rhetoric at the College of Mons were referred to in warm terms of praise, and in whit+ also his Majesty was respectfully recommended by the Minister of the Interior to nominate the professor in question a Chevalier of the Order of Leopold. The reading of this document was followed by t h e of a royal decree, conferring the order alluded to. It is . time now to state that this re spected professor was M. Petit, the father of the young laureate above-named. Thus did one day and ene public ceremony witness the well-deserved Humid, of father and son, of professor and pupil. It must be inentioned also that M. Petit, sen., through an honourahl. and Nice (perhaps over nice) feeling of delicacy wou ld not aloe" his son to compete with his fellow-students fat the special prizes of the college of Mons. The recent opportueity, however, of gaining distinction was a na tional one, from which no pupil could be excluded, and at which only reel merit could hope to be recognised. The Honourable Professor was presented to their Ma -,j,isties by M. Van de Weyer, amidst general al plausr. NEW GERMAN REFORMATION. I.7LNE, SEPT. 21.—The journey of M. Ronge hem Stutgard , to our place resembled more the triumphal march of a con qu and the inhabitants of Esslingen and Goppingen dis tiaghished themselves in particular in the reception they gavt to the hero of our days. Our town, where be is to stay f o r som e days, would, however, not remain behind, and it has performed its duties of hospitality in the true spirit of Christian love alai charity A deputation of Aldermen and distittguished citizens went out to meet him, and on his arrival in town he was re ' ceived by the population with an almost endless shout of joy. The Mayor welcomed him in the name of the inhabitante, and a young lady of noble birth, and the youngest member of the new community, offered him a crown of laurels. M. Rongt and his fellow labourer in the vineyard, M. Dawist, twice ad dressed the people from the hotel where they have taken up their residence, and were listened to with very great atten tion. Our common council has granted for the use of the German Catholics 500 florins, of which 103 florins are to be employed in the fitting up of the Corn Exchange for a place of worship. However, this latter will no more be necessary, as the Ministry has now granted the petition, signed by 1,800 citizens, and allowed to the new community the use of the ' cathedral for divine service. It is said that the King of Wirtemberg is much displeased with his Ministers for having refused a similar request to the German Catholics at Stutgardt, and that it is owing to this that an order of a more favourable nature has been lately issued by the Government of that country, according to which the German Catholics there are allowed the free exercise of their religious creed, except the permission for their minist ers to officiate at the altar, and for the public papers to call their sermons other than speeches. BADEN.—The private informations from this country agree in stating that the German Catholic Church is there making continual progress, and that in a short time the secession of its Roman Catholic inhabitants will be effected on a yery large scale. F RANKFOR T.—The cause of the new Church is said to be taken up by the people there with the same ardour as the cause of Germany itself. The community of German Catho lics is daily increasing, and the offerings made by the Lutherans and Reformists, for the use of the new Catholic Church, are already very considerable. w iEmt „ Ele .—The Government has refused the petition of the German Catholics to have a suitable place tr Divine them. o All those, howev er , w h o , h av i ng ed Church of Rome, desire t o f orm sawenopearstrvialiCtPagthraoiitocemdcotnotehmennity, are to be tolerated on the general principle of religious liberty established in the kingdqn. How ever, this community is to be deprived of the rights of co operation and of legally nominating its chiefs. Its ministers are only there to be allowed to perform the ceremonies et baptism and marriages when the clergymen of the Esta blished Church have refused to do it on being applied to. Posen N.—No reason has been assigned why the Govern. ment has refused to grant to the German Catholics a suitable place for performing Divine service, and the new community has been obliged to fix upon the prayer-room in the Protes tant churchyard for that purpose. M. Cost, the officiating clergyman, prayed and preached in the German tongue, am' administered the Sacrament to a great number of his congre gation under both forms. BUENOS AYRES. The billowing is an extract of a letter just received by the brig Varonet, Capt. 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 genarally 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 time, unless some forces be brought to bear which do not at present exist in the field of action ; naval force; alone em only_ act by blockading and cutting off communications. To proccel in that way only might require years to obtain the desired eud. In the meantime British and French persons and property will be in great danger, and commerce stopped altogether. When Sir Uobert 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 equil for the protection of British persons and pro perty,' he said what ho 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, surroundedby 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; Comus. sloop; Racer, Acorn, and Satellite, brigs." THE MINES of LAKE SUPERIOR. (From the New York Tiikune.) From the south shore of Lake Su3erior, aheut half way- Of its great l e ngth, s tretches some fifty miles north ward a broad and rugged promontory , terminat in g in Kee wenaw (or Keewenon) Point, near lat. 48 deg., or almost in the centre of the lake. On the west shore of this promontory, and not far from the Point, is Copper Harbour, around which is the most ap proved mineral region of L Lke Superior, stretching westward some thirty or forty miles to the river Ontonagon, the only considerable or navigable stream in that quarter. This is not, of course, the full extent of the mineral region ; for the great Copper Rock ilstlf was brought from tt place mach farther in land, on a branch of the Ontonagon, and promising veins of ore are known to exist a hundred miles back from the lake, on the summits of the Porcupine Mountains. Silver is said to have been found in good veins near the banks of the Ontonagon, some 30 to 50 miles inland (wh , re the stream, having taken its last pitch, begins to be navigable) ; while even. g : ild is a lid to have been fount, on U location considerably east of Keewenawt All these, however, are matters on whieh our infor mation is imperfect, while our faith in some of them is moderate. That there is silver in this region, is intrin sically probable and sustained by much concurrent tes timony ; that it has yet been found in such quantities and positions as to justify and reward the outlay required to mine it, we do not know. The gold report reaches us still more vaguely. Another season will probably solve many doubts. Rich as are the copper ores of many localities, it is the safe presumption that all profitable mining for them must for some time be confined to a narrow section bor dering the lake or approached by some of its bays and inlets. This metal is too bulky in proportion to its value to warrant a very extensive land trans portation in the crude form of the ore, while the process of smelting it is so costly, tedious and difficult, that we do not know where it is now performed in this country. We understand that smelting works are now in progress of erection near Boston, at Pittsburgh, Pa., and on the Hudson near this city, the last with more immediate reference to the copper product of Cuba. Hitherto most of the copper ores mined in this country have been smelted in England. We trust this is now near its end. The difficulties of milling copper, at any considerable distance south of Lake Superior, can hardly be appre ciated by those not familiar with the country. The sur face is remarkably rugged and broken, often rising steeply into hills from the very waters of the lake, with higher hills close behind them, and so, interspersed with swamps and morasses, back to the mountains which part the tributaries of the Superior from those of the Mississippi. The aspect is so bleak (the latitude that of Quebec), and the soil so sterile, that a settlement of it for any other than mining purposes is out of the question. The miners of the interior must make their own roads, where making them is no holiday matter, and must purchase all their forage, as well as provisions, in a region where the price of neither can be low. In due time, if the mineral re gion of Superior half justifies the sanguine expectations it has awakened, there will be good roads and railroads Ito all the richest developments. At present, those con siderably inland, if merely of copper, must generally remain undisturbed, though shingled with permits, ex plorations, discoveries, leases, scrips, and sundries. The mines now being worked are within a mile of the lake, where its coast is thickly dotted with harbours. The shore is so bold and the harbours so sheltered that vessels laden with provisions, implements, &c., have safely run up within a few feet of the land, put out a plank and rolled their barrels and packages on to the dry ground, while the streams all around (the Ontona• Son alone excepted) so utterly forbid tie idaa of navi gation that not even a bark canoe can be forced up their rocky and precipitous beds a hundred yards from the lake, if at all. The timber on the coast is all pitch-pine, white cedar, &c., but a mile inland generally commences the hard-wood, consisting of sugar maple, &c. This region is not heavily timbered. We hear that one small propeller steam-boat has already been launched on the lake, and another (the Julia Palmer) will soon be. This will bring the mining region practically a week nearer the world, for the voy age from the Sault St. Marie to Copper Harbour (some 200 miles) is generally a tedious one in the small sail vessels of Superior, against the habitual westerly winds of that region. Though averaged at four or five days, it has quite often taken treble five—its uncertainty being a part of the mischief. Hereafter it will be made in some twenty-four hours, or two days at farthest. HOW TO IMPROVE THE CONDI TION OF THE LABOURING CLASSES. The following extracts are from a pamphlet with this title, by E. D. Davenport, Esq. lanny of the facts men tinned in this small work are so evident, that it is need 'ess to add any comment : " We now come to consider what objections can be started against improved husbandry, as a mode of enriching the la bouring classes ; and first the uncertainty as to what is called or miscalled legislative protection, and the possible fall in the price of corn. But the price of corn is being kept down al ready by the new laws, and especially by Canadian importa tions, and is likely to be still more so. The best answer that such apprehensions can receive is by a reference to the com parative rents and profits in Scotland, where the farmers' crops are so much greater than they are here, as to make the selling pike a matter of secondary consideration. If they ::an get 12/. (or six quarters of wheat at five shillings the bushel per acre) in one year's crop, they have no great rea son to complsin either of low juices or inadequate profit, nei ther do they. The language of habitual complaint, bad cro p s , bad times, and want of protection, belongs to a very different class of farmers, who are wont to rely on anything rather than their own skill. They invoke legislative protection, forgetting the change of circumstances which (supposing it ever to have been defensible) now renders it needless, and consequently still more odious to the other classes who have :ong complained of it. This change has been effected partly mechanical science, which produces good draining tiles at on-2 -third of the cost formerly paid for bad ones, besides ploughs and other implements on improved constructions ; vith respect to draining, it is now admitted that the cheapest _Ls well as the most effective mode of doing it is to cut drains (Our feet. deep, and at thirty-three feet intervals. Secondly, 'he accidental discovery of a concentrated manure which •erves all the purposes of horse or town manure, and is brought upon the land at one-third of the previous expense attending any equally restorative process. So long as guano lasts the tenant may augment his crop in proportion to the quantity he can purchase; and it has already been shown that a ton of boiled bones upon an acre of grass land, and at t cost of from 31. Ios. to 4/. 13s. will double its value. With what face, then, can the farmers or owners of such soils re presenting., as they do, a large portion of the north-west, as %veil as other parts of England, ask for protective duties when they have it in their power to double their means at so small a pecuniary sacrifice ? The author's tenants (living near manufacturing towns) have learned during the two or three past years that which they before doubted, that they depend el a prosperous commerce ; for the worst year they ever eecoui , tered was that of commercial depression, when their produce fell fur want of purchasers, and protection, the re alga of the idle and helpless, has long ceased to occupy their thoughts. The very word serves as a motto to sluggards who confide in its fallacious promise. What think they, can men want, whom their representative law-makers protect irrespectively of the quantity or quality of their productions? Therefore, they trust their soothsayers and are ruined; they were led to expect a protection which would ensure them 80s. the quarter for wheat, and when ripe brought them only 40s. They have since been told to expect 565., and have to sell is 'at 455. • still they believe in spite of their senses in powers which neither do, nor ought to exist. The true believers are everywhere discernible by unerring insignia; you may know them afar off; rushy fields of brown and ' yellow herbage, small crops, and more raga than rents bespeak the true faith. "Among the objections of landowners of small minds and great prejudices to improved farming, we must not omit that of granting long leases, by which they think they lessen their absolute dominion over their tenants ; a privilege for which they and through them the community pay an awful price. They prefer seeing their land half-cultivated rather than endow the occupier with the power of voting according to his conscience, and thereby risking (however slightly) his dissent from his landlord. Yet without leases, or something equivalent, capital will not be embarked in the soil, unless the landlord has earned, as rarely happens, the entire con fidence of the tenant. The rule, therefore, should be to give 14 or 19 years' leases, according to the terms offered by men of capital, skill, and character. " But here we do really want legislative protection, for many landlords of entailed property (the writer among others) do not possess the power on some estates of leasing beyond eleven years, and it .were well if such disabilities were to a certain degree at least, removed by Act of Parliament. Rational objections therefore to the more intimate connexion between capital and land, there are absolutely none ;—we have hereby published the banns of marriage, of which it rests with commerce to effect the consummation. " The plain and obvious•cause of the insufficient supply of cheap provisions is the superabundant proportion of bad pasture land—why is this? Simply because men of capital are not to be found to till it properly; and until they offer themselves, experience tells the owner that it is less destruc tive to his estate, to lay in bad pasture than in bad tillage, end therefore the proportion of the latter is restricted in kis leases or agreements to such a quantity as the tenant is likely from his means to keep in proper condition. Hence the restrictive leases against which the half-informed raise such an outcry, as if it were faulty or criminal in landowners to be on their guard against the pseudo-capitalist, or real robber, who expects to find his capital (instead of bringing it) by ploughing old pastures till they cease to produce anything when the tenant is pretty sure to throw up his no longer pro fitable holding. This is a very common case, and h asamong others occurred in a notable instance to a large grazing farm in the author's possession ; whose rule has since been to allow old pastures to be broken up only in cases where an equal quantity of other land is laid down with good grass seeds. "There can be no doubt that the whole of our dairy and grass farms are managed in such a way as to keep all con cerned in them in comparative poverty ; were the cattle fed in the stalls as in Switzerland, the meadows and pastures would form, as they do in Scotland, the exceptions rather than the rules of farming. The whole population would prove no more than necessary to the constant work of manuring, cleaning, and cultivating the increased tillage, and in gathering the enormous crops resulting from it. The la bourer would have no longer to complain that during severe winters like the last the farmers will not give them employ ment ; in short, they would cease to be poor, or chargeable as such to their neighbours. It is no valid objection to this change of system to urge the difficulty and cost of additional cow-houses ; the landowne-, who, being often a dissipator of his own, if not of other people's money, may not be able to build, but the capitalist would do so if a term of lease suffi ciently long were granted him—say 21 years. " What, then, can Parliament do to benefit agriculture ? Keep up an incessant cry for protection, always promised but never granted. Wh a t is t o b e gained y this course ? Con stant warfare with the commercial classes, and a gradually decreasing majority, now actually bearded and challenged to prove their title to what they ask. "Instead of this self-delusive course, would it not be bet ter to adopt some practical measures liable to no conflicts, and tending to promote improvement, by inducing the more free investment of capital in the soil? One of the first of these steps should be the granting powers to lease lands for terms of 14 (if not of 19 or 21) years. Who in the mean while will venture to take land in bad condition on specula tion without such guarantees ?" P ASMONS FOR OCTOBER. (From the World of Fashion, Magazine of the Courts of tondon and m Paris.) MORNING CArs.—Amidt the ost 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 h a lf 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 nceud of ribbon, with- long ends dropping carelessly at the sides. DanasEs for the present month still continue to have all the freshness of a summer toilette. We cannot tail 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 tin 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 fillings, trimmed like wise with fringe EVENING DRESSES.—We have re:narked several very charming toilettes intended for soirees dansantes ; these cire o es are made a Vetit revers plain, and vlaced front and . back instead of any other drapery, the back of the waist forming a kind of jacket ; the sleeves are short, 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 tarlatane, 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. THE ARMY. CAVALRY. 11th, Prince Albert's Own Hussars, Island Bridge Bar racks, Dublin—This corps will march from Dublin, for New Bridge, the middle of this month, there to be stationed. INFANTRY. Ist Battalion Ist Royalspepot, Nenagh—Captain Ormsby will take the command of the depot companies when Major Deane, K.H., embarks for the West Indies, to join the ser vice companies. Seven boys are ordered to embark at Cork with the draft of 1 lieutenant, 1 sergeant, and 40 rank and file now on the march to Cork, where they will arrive on the 6th October, for embarkation, when the armed party of 1 subaltern, 1 sergeant, and 12 rank and file, together with the supernumerary men in waiting, will return to Nenagh, and join their head-quarters. Captain Mein is in command of the company stationed at Borrisokane. sth Northumberland Fusiliers, Enniskillen—Col. Suther land and Major Johnson are on leave of absence, and Captain Guy is commanding at head-quarters. 19th (Ist York,North Riding), Depot, Carlow.—Officers present at head-quarters :—Major Simpson, commanding; Captains Sir M. A. H. Tute, Bart., and Cally ; Lieutenants Kerr (depot paymaster) and Jennings ; Ensigns Moore (depot adjutant) and Braddell. Effective strength of two companies and head-quarters :-1 acting sergeant-major, 7 sergeants, 5 drummers, and 107 rank and file. At Castle Corner :—Two companies consisting of Captain Deacon, Lieutenants Ellerman and Warden, Ensign Skeete, 4 ser geants, 1 drummer, and 80:rank and file. Recruiting at Salisbury, Lieutenant Cochrane. Recruiting elsewhere :- 1 sergeant and 8 rank and file. Sick at Chatham 4 pritates. Officers :—Ensign Harris, to 7th October, and Quarter-Master Hinelay, to the 31st October. Assistant- Surgeon Longmore joined head-quarters of the depot from leave of absence on the Ist of October. Desertion. We regret to hear that several men belong ing to the 33d Regiment, lying at this place, have lately deserted. Some of them have been taken and brought back, while others have escaped. These men have received bounty, and have been clothed, fed, and brought hither at the ex pense of the British Government, to which they have sworn allegiance; it is very wrong for them to desert, and especially galling to all British subjects, as most of those who get off immediately enlist in the American service, and would, in the event of a war with that country, fight against us. It is, therefore, clearly the duty of every inhabitant of New Bruns wick to assist the military authorities in recapturing these misguided men, and in returning them to head-quarters.— Fredericton Loyalist. 35th (Royal - Sussex) Regiment, Depot, Charles Fort, Kin sale—A recruiting party is ordered to march for Cork, there to embark per steam-vessel for London, to be stationed. Major Deedes is commanding the depot companies at head quarters. _ _ 38th Depot, Londonderry—Major Lowth has joined head quarters from leave of absence, and taken the command. Major Campbell and Captain Smith have embarked for the service companies in the West Indies. The new Royal Marine Barracks are to be lighted with gas, and provision is to be made for the expense in the next naval estimates. 77th Regiment—At the Kingston Races a serious row and fight took place on the ground between the soldiers of the garrison and the populace. How the quarrel began it is difficult to ascertain, but it soon became general, and a severe skrimmage was the consequence. The soldiers of the 71st, with the exception of a small piquet on duty, were without their side arms, or very bloody would have been the conse quence. A few only of the 82d were present ; they bad no side arms. Seeing he row, such of the officers as had not left the course, among whom was Mr. Hamilton, the adjutant, immediately interfered, and with some difficulty got the men off the ground into the public road, and were marching them homewards, when the populaee followed and pelted them with stones. Mr. Hamilton was severely hurt, and obliged to be taken to a neighbouring house. Seeing their officer thus treated the soldiers rushed back to the ground, and a much severer engagement commenced, which continued for a long while, in spite of all endeavours to stop it. It lasted until Major Denny. sent out a detachment of the 71st Regiment under arms, who restored order, brought away the wounded men, and made many prisoners, who, at the time we are writing, are in custody at the Court house, waiting an examination. The number of men hurt on both sides is said to be large, but none are killed. The above hastily-written sketch is probably incorrect in many particulars, but it is the best we can furnish.—lliontreal paper. 88th (Connaught Rangers) Depot, Boyle—Ensign Gore is ordered to hold himself in readiness to embark with the draft of 1 captain, 1 sergeant,' and 60 rank and file. and 6 boys, now on the line of march to Dublin, where they will arrive, October 8, to embark per steam-vessel for Cork. The draft of the Rifle Brigade, Ist battalion in Dublin, will em bark win this draft. STAFF—Major-General H. Wyndham hag returned to his residence at the Royal Barracks, Dublin, from his seat, Cockermouth Castle, Cumberland, from leave of absence, and resumed the command of the Dublin district. Co lonel John Spink, K.H., Assistant Quartermaster-General, Dublin, has proceeded to England on a month's leave of absence. COURT CIRCULAR, WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen walked thi., morning for Potne time in the pleasure-grounds adjoining to the Castle, attended by the Countess of Gainsborough and the Hon. Miss Kerr. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken an airing in a pony carriage this afternoon, and the Princess Alice for her usual exercise. His Royal Highness Prince Albert drove her Majesty , out in a pony phaeton this afternoon, attended by the Hon. Colonel Grey, Equerry in Waiting, on horseback. Colonel Bouverie arrived at the Castle this morning as the Equerry in Waiting on his Royal Highness Prince Albert. His Excellency the Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Dispatches from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and also for the Governor of Malta, were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office. MISS CLARA SEYTON.—This very talented young lady has been giving her entertainments at Dover, Deal, Hastings, and other towns in Kent, where she has attracted crowded audiences, who have been delighted with the versa. tility of talent which she displayed. At St. Leonard's her entertainment was patronised by his Serene Highness the Prince of Oldenburgh, She is at present at Tunbridge Wells, where she is winning " golden opinions," in every sense of the phrase. READING AND REIGATE.—It appears that the at mospheric principle is to be adopted on one of the proposed lines from Reading and Reigate, of which Mr. Sandforth F. Griffin is the engineer, This line, although but forty miles in extent, passes in its course through the important towns of Guildford and Dorking, thus connecting the Great Western and the Northern lines with the South-eastern and Brighton lines. The promoters contend that, on account of the undulating character of the country, by no other system than the atmospheric will the difficulties in the shape of severe gradients be surmounted, or the beauty of the scenery be kept open to view. Much stress appears to be laid by the promoters upon the fact of the great safety which the atmos pheric system promises to secure.—Post. RAILROAD EXTRAORDINARY.—We learn from au thority, which we cannot distrust, that a plan of railway is now in active contemplation, and in highly influential hands, which bids fair to be one of the most imposing adventures of this adventurous era. It is one which, if accomplished (and we see no reason to doubt its practicability), must 'create im mense interest in these districts, where it is calculated to work a sort of revolution in commerce. It has been already ascer tained by Mr. . Pease and others, that coals may be carried by railway under arrangem en t s mos t beneficial to all parties. This being the case, it is proposed to complete a double line of railway from Newcastle to the metropolis for the carriage of goods only; these goods being coals chiefly upwards, and miscellaneous packages downwards. As this line would exclude passengers, great speed is not an object. The coals would be delivered in a condition far superior to that which goes by sea, and the metropolitan market would by this means he regularly supplied, at all times, with superior coals, on terms that would hardly vary, and which would be lower than any that London has yet seen. We have been favoured with outline of some of the calcula tions for this scheme. As to the cost of the railway we can not judge. It is estimated, however, at somewhat above four millions, and jt is proposed to obtain a subscribed capital of five millions to meet all contingencies. The consumption of coal, in London alone, is about 4,000,000 tons annually. The carriage upon three millions tons of coal, alone, would yield a handsome profit, even at rates very low indeed. As far as the coal trade of Northumberland and Durham is con cerned, a transit like this, if once effected, would be a getat safeguard. They might thenceforward defy all conmetition, and enjoy a monopoly of the supply of the metropolis. We look with great interest for Farther details as to the gigan tic undertaking.—Tyne 11 1;:rcury. FOREIGN FRUIT, CATTLE, &C.—The General Steam Navigation Company's ship Countess of Lonsdale, which arrived from Hamburgh within this day or two, brought, in addition to 21 oxen in good condition, 765 sieves of plums, 64 sieves of the same, and 110 baskets of other descriptions of fruit, and a large quantity of seeds, plants, and other produce. The Sir Edward Banks also brought 18 cases of live poultry, a large quantity of eggs, &c. The same Company's ship Soho. from Antwerp on Monday, brought the large number of considerably more than 2,000 packages of ripe walnuts, a large quantity of ripe pears, &c. The Columbine, from Rotterdam, which arrived at the Brunswick Wink Blackwell, on the same day, brought 5 oxen, 19 cows, the large number of 240 sheep, a large quan tity of yeast, cheese, and a variety of every description of Dutch produce. Neither this vessel nor the Company's ship James Watt, which arrived at the St. Katharine's Wharf on the same day, from Havre, brought any fruit of either description; so that it would appear that the importations of ripe fruit, consisting of plums, pears, &c., from Holland and France, ha ve , i n a great measure, ceased for the season. The fruit from these places was the first in the markets, and now they give place to Hamburgh, from which a later crop of ripe fruit is now arriving, and Belgium, which is very pro lific in the produce of walnuts—a scarcity elsewhere—and from which country large quantities, as will be seen, arrive, which are of excellent quality, and completely supply our markets with the article. We understand that the crop of English walnuts this year is generally bad, in consequence of the great quantity of humid and wet weather which has been so prevalent, and that the samples of this nut of home growth, which are generally considered very superior to, are this year completely beaten by, those brought from Belgium Ind other parts of the Continent. Our walnut season should now be at its height, whereas there has as yet scarcely any been seen in the markets or elsewhere. The walnuts brought from -abroad are imported in the husk—for which an allow ince is made by the revenue officers at the time of landing, by mutual agreement or experiment, according to the wish of the importer—which insures their delivery in a fresh state. FURTHER GLANCE at EUROPEAN RAILWAYS. (From the Railway Chronicle.) s k e tch that there existed, or would soon exist, In a former number we presented our readers with a , o d of some of the principal Continental railways, and !nu, . e, extending from Lisbon to the Russian frontier. „ I n l e e e this propose to take a further glance at these; and "r - weir i view we perceive that, in addition to the one already r ei , tioned, there are two other trunk lines, destined soe l l e 4 e e later to traverse Europe, under the auspices of that sPi the enterprise which will one day make the different partarael„re. world as accessible to one another as now are the seve r vinces of individual States. -...nd The first of these achievements may be called the e.- - 4 from °I line from the mouth of the Tagus to the Baltic, or future Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Finland, when, at some_,,,, day, it shall be continued to St. Petersburgh and the haw of the Neva. least ' The second of these European highways, and not the important, will be the central line, which, beginning,-,Ti el n e at . 1 mouth of the Loire, touching at Paris, crossing the '' o r- a grand trunif u o ll lr Mayence, traversing the interior provinces of Ger n l i i ej ls, 1 that is to say, Hesse, Thuringia and Saxony, visitin%eiae, ~ and passing Breslau, will find its goal in Poland, nea r line, and join on, at Petrickau, to the Warsaw and Croce Tea t now in the course of formation.
