At a highly respectable and Influential public MEETING of the Inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, favourable to the construction of a direct Railway to Exeter, held in the Guildhall, Monday, Sept. la, JAMES BULL, Esq., in the Chair. . _ the following resolutions were unanimously passed : That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the projected coast line of Railway from Falmouth to Torpoint, "with a very doubtful passage across the Hamoazc, on the lower part of the Tamar," and a distance of a mile and a half from the beach, to join the South Devon line, would be of little comparative advantage if effected, and is highly objectionable, as tending to prevent the formation of a central line of railway, which would alone be beneficial to the county of Cornwall, and that it does net , comply with the principles laid down by the Railway Department of the Board el Trade as the basis for all future extensions of railway communication, vie., " The advantages to be obtained, in a national point of view, in completing or extending important lines of railway communication; the amount of local advantages afforded to the towns and districts more immediately affected ; the engineer. ing circumstances of the line, as far as may be necessary to form a general judgment of the character of the undertaking ; the esti mates of cost of construction and of traffic and working expenses so far as may be necessary to judge of the probability of the line being completed and efficiently w orked ;" and by making Plymouth the real terminus of the Railway, must evidently prevent a more western port horn reaping the advantages of its position in a corn. mercial point of view. That by a direct line of Railway from Exeter, instead of a coast line by Plymouth, by which the Cornwall line will be a mere branch of the South Devon line, there will be a saving of up wards of twenty miles, which is of great importance bAth as re gards time and expense, and, in the worth of Captain Beaufort, the Hydrographer to the Admiralty, "There can be but little doubt that Falmouth will again have the mails, and, moreover, be come a port of far greater consequence than it has yet been." CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a highly respectable and influential public MEETING of the inhabitants of Penryn and its vicinity, convened by the Mayer, and held at the Guildhall the 2l at day of September, 1844, THOMAL GREY TRENERY, Egg., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously passed : That it is the decided conviction of this Meeting that a Central Railway from Falmouth to Exeter is the only line which combines all the requisites for such a mode of communication through the county of Cornwall, and is also entitled to support, as calculated to restore the packets to Falmouth Harbour, and to afford all those facilities for the transit of passengers and traffic which are required, both in a national and local point of ♦iew, besides securing to the port of Falmouth all the advantages of its geographical position. That in the opinion of this Meeting the proposed railway to Tor. point, " with," in the words of Captain Moorsom, the engineer, " a very doubtful passage across Hamoase," on the lower part of the Tamar, is highly objectionable, and in no respect calculated to afford that amount of accommodation to the great mass of the population of Cornwall which they require, and none to that of the North of Devon, and by tending inevitably to transfer the trade and commerce which would be concentrated at the most western port to its rival Plymouth, would be most detrimental to the in. terests of this county; and that this Meeting pledges itself to give such South Line its most determined opposition. C ORN WALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a Public MEETING of the Inhabitants of Redruth, held on Tuesday, the Ist of October, WILLIAM DAVEY, Esq., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :- 1. That this Meeting cerdially recognises the principles pro pounded by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade for re gulating their inquiries into all proposed schemes for the extension of existinglines of railway, :—" That regard should be had to the advantages to be obtained in a national point of view; to the amount of local advantage afforded to the towns and districts more immediately affected ; and to the engineering circumstances of the line; and is decidedly of opinion that a central line of railway, in preference to a coast line from Falmouth to Exeter, completely em. braces these important objects. 2. That in a national point of view it is of the utmost import. ance that the connection of Falmouth harbour with the metropolis and the great manufacturing districts in the ncrtb of England and Scotland should be eneted in the shortest possible space of time, and, therefore, with the view of securing to the country generally, as well as to the county of Cornwall, the full advantage of " the best port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic possessions," as well as to insure the convenience of passengers, and the cheap transmission of merehandize, a central line of railway from Falmouth to Exeter is pre.erninentiy entitled to the support of Cornishmen. 3. That in addition to affording the greatest accommodation to the greatest number, it is especially essential, in a local point of view, that a railway should secure the quickest and cheapest means of transit, not only to the London markets, but to those of the midland and northern districts, of those early and rare vegeta bles and fruits for which the western part of Cornwall is so cele brated, and which would form se considerable a portion of traffic, as well as to ensure to our fishermen a profitable sale of that inimitable supply of the finest fish with which our coasts abound, and that a central line of railway can best effect those objects. 4. That, from the report of the Committee appointed at a county meeting convened by the High Sheriff, for the purpose of obtaining information as to the feasibility of constructing a railway through Cornwall to Exeter, it appears that a survey of the central line was made in 1840.41, by Captain Moorsom, C. E., in which he states, " That a Central Line combines the greatest amount of accem rnodation, both local and general, with the least drawback in respect to the works involved and the expense incurred in construction and working." 5. That from the said report it also appears that, from traffic returns actually made and carefully revised, such line would, after deducting 40 per cent for working charges, yield a profit to the Shareholders of upwards of 71. per cent.; whereas it appears, from the prospectus of the projectors of the Plymouth and Falmouth Railway, that the estimated returns on the capital will be only " 61. per cent, and upwards," thereby clearly proving that, even as a speculation with a view to profitable investment only, the Central Line is best entitled to public support ; and that there are good grounds for believing that, if the Central Line to Exeter be properly brought before the country, it will at once obtain the sup. port of Cornishmen and capitalists generally. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At tt . !P.:bile MEETING, convened by the Mayor, on a requiti. ticna signed by IttO inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, held in the Guildhall, on Saturday, the Igth of October, STEPHEN BROUGHAM, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : That, from the time that a Railway through Cornwall wee first contemplated, a central or direct line from Exeter to Falmouth has ever been deemed the most advantageous, both in a national and local point of view, and from the report of Captain Moorsom, C.E., made in 1841, to the Committee appointed by a county meeting, it appears is (hat course which, with the least practical objection in Its features, vvhcther in construction or in reference to subsequent working, gives the greatest amount of accommodation to the county of Cornwall. That it is the decided conviction of this meeting that the pro. posed Railroad from Exeter to Falmouth. via Plymouth, would, from the acknowledged difficulties of its construction, the loss of time in effecting " a very doubtful passage across the liamoaze, on the lower part of the river Tamar," and the expenses of travelling a distance of twenty miles more than by a direct line from Falmouth to Exeter, sacrifice all the advantages possessed by the port of Fal. mouth, from its geographical position, as " the best port in the kingdom for the embarkation) and landing of the mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic possessions." That, as the interest of the Right Hon. Lady Bassett, and the Right Hon. Lord Wodehouse, and their respective tenantry, aro deeply involved in the construction of the most advantageous line of railway through Cornwall, this meeting respectfully solicits the Right Honourable Lady and the Noble Lord will be pleased to give their support to the Committee for forming the Central Line of Railway from Exeter to Falmouth. That the representatives in Parliament for the county, and those for Penryn and Falmouth and the other boroughs of Cornwall, be also solicited to add their names to the Provisional Committee, for the purpose of securing to Cornwall a line of railway which fully complies with the requirements of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, both as regards the advantages in a national point of view, and the advantages to the towns and districts more imme diately interested. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. —...— ..._ _. At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Watiebridge and its vicinity, held at the Moleaworth Arms Hotel, on Tuesday, the 22d day of October, 1844, EDMUND HAMMY, Esq., in the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : That this meeting is decidedly of opinion that a central line of railway through Cornwall to Exeter would be found greatly to the advantage of the county, and in a public, local, and national point of view, superior to a communication based on a coast line. That by a central line the distance from the western ports of Falmouth and Penzance to the metropolis would be considerably shortened, the difficult and dangerous passage across the Hamoaze avoided, and the requirements of the county best provided for. That the members of the county and the different boroughs be requested to give their utmost support to the Central Line, and per. mit their names to be added to the Provisional Committee of the Cornwall and Devon Railway. That a memorial be prepared and presented to the Board of Trade, pointing out the superior advantages of the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway, both in a national and local point of view• CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Padstow, held at Rawlings' Commercial Hotel, this 23d day of October, 1844, THOMAS TREMAIN, Esq., in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously carried : That a Central or Direct Line of Railroad from Exeter to Fal. mouth has ever been regarded as the most advantageous both in a national and local point of view, and that this meeting pledges it. self to support a Central Line. That the representatives in Parliament for the eastern division of the county of Cornwall be solicited to sußport a Central Line, for the purpose of securing to the county a line of railroad which hilly complies with the requirements of the Board of Trade, both as re gards the advantages in a national point of view, the county at large, and this ill' portent port in particular. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a public MEETING of the inhabitants of Helston, convened by the Mayor on a requisition of the inhabitants, THOMAS ROGERS, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously carried : That this meeting is deeply impressed with the importance of a Central Railway, and pledges itself to promote the success of such an undertaking. That this Meeting is satisfied of the superiority of a Central Line, and also that the requisite capital can be easily obtained. That a memorial from this Meeting in favour of the Central Line be forwarded to the Board of Trade. That it is the opinion of this meeting that Cornishmen should forward the Central Line by applying for shares in the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway Company without delay. That the Mayor be requested to communicate the unanimous opinion of this M ee ti ng i n f avour o f a Central Line to the Member for this borough, with an urgen t request that he promote the un. d ertaking, and allow his name to appear in the list of Provisional Committee. That the Members for the County be urgently requested to pro. mote the Central Railway. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Bodmin and its neighbourhood, convened by the Mayor, on a requisition of the Inhabitants, JOHN WARD, Eaq., Mayor, in the ehair, the following resolutions were unanimously carried : That, however much it may be to the private interest of asso. ciated companies, or of individuals, to promote the formation of other railways through this county, and whatever may be the plausibility with which such undertakings are urged upon the at.. tention of the public, this meeting sees no reason to doubt the cor. rcetness of the recorded opinion of the county, that a central or direct line from Exeter to Falmouth is indispensable in a national point of view, and would afford the greatest amount of local ac. commodation. That as affbrding the beet line in a national, local, and engi neering point of view, the projected Central Railway may be as sured of the sanction of the Board of Trade, and as approved by the landowners through whose property it passes, it is placed beyond the reach of successful opposition In Parliament ; whilst, by run. fling through, or bordering on, and connected with, the principal towns and populous mining districts of the county, it will receive the support of the commercial and alining Interest, and by offering, as shown by the estimate of traffic, a profitable investment for money, there is no lenger reason to doubt that it will command the requisite capital for carrying it into effect, thus removing the only objection ever urged against a Central Railway, even by the promo ters of the Southern Line. That, looking to the large and wealthy district on the north of Bodmin, to the increasing importance of the trade at Wadebridge, and to the fact that Padatow (the harbour of which has been lately placed, by Act of Parliament, under the superintendence of Com missioners with powers for its improvement) forms the most eonve. nient port for embarkation to the south of Ireland, this Meeting trusts that an effort will be made to afford this part of the county a railway in communication with the metropolis, by bringing the main trunk of the Central Line of Railway int, immediate con neetion with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, and that the Padatow Commissioners ar.d the Directors of the Bothnia and Wadebridge Railway will aid in forwarding so desirable an object. That a memorial from this Meeting, in favour of the Central Line of Railway, be forwarded to the Board of Trade. Tbat.the Meuthers for the county be requested to give their sup. port to the projected Central Line of Railway between Falmouth and Exeter, as being best calculated to promote the public interests of the county, and that the Mayor be requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the county Members. That the town of Bodmin being the place at which the assizes, quarter sessions, and all the county meetings are held, requires a rapid and direct means of communication with all parts of Cornwall, and the adjoining county of Devon, as also with the metropolis. That the Members for the borough, be, therefore, requested to co operate in furtherance of the proposed undertaking, as tending to the prosperity of the town and borough, and that the Mayor be re quested to forward a copy of this resolution to Sir T. S. Spry and J. D. Gardner, Esq. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a numerous and influential public MEETING of the inhabit. ants of the town and neighbourhood of Penzance, held at the Guild hall, on Friday, the Bth of November, 1844, by requisition, JOHN BATTEN, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, the following resolutions were passed unanimously : That it Is the decided opinion of this Meeting that the Central Railway is the only one calculated to meet the requirements of this town and neighbourhood, and the county in general. That this Meeting is quite convinced that in a national point of view the Central Line will insure greater facility of intercourse and certainly of communication than any line that should depend on " the doubtful passage across Hamoaze."

( - IORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a numerous and highly respectable public MEETING of the inhabitants of the Borough of Truro, held at the Town-hall, on Monday, the 28th of October, 1844, NICHOLAS F. BASSETT, Esq., the Mayor, in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimsusly passed : That this meeting is convinced of the perfect practicability of the Central Line of Railway through Cornwall and Devon, and of its great superiority over the proposed Coast Line from Plymouth to Falmouth, both in a national and local point of view. That a railway with a single line, interrupted by " the very doubtful passage across the "Homo:ire," is wholly unfitted to the wants and requirements of this county. That the following memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of the Central Lino be adopted by this meeting, and that *e Mayor be requested to sign the same on behalf of the meeting; and that the Members for this Borough be requested to present the same to the Board of Trade, and to give their strenuous support to the prayer of the memorial; and that a petition to the House of Commons in favour of the Central Line, assimilated to the memorial, be prepared and taken from house to house for signature, and. that the Members for the borough be requested to present the came at the proper time, and to support it in the House of Commons. "To the Honourable the Commissioners of the Railway Depart. mcnt of the Board of Trade. My Lord and Gentlemen, —Your memorialists, the inhabitants of the borough of Truro, in the county of Cornwall, in public mcet ing assembled, in the Town-hall, on the 28th day of October, 1844, respectfully show forth to your Hon. Board—. " That it has been proposed to construct a line of railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, passing along the southern district of this county, and arriving at Plymouth by a passage across the Ilamoare from Torpoint. " That it has also been proposed to construct a line of. Railway from Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance, parsing through the centre of the counties of Devon and Cornwall, at about an equal distance from either sea coast. •• That by the Central Line the distance of twenty miles would be saved between Exeter and Falmouth, no engineering obstacle exists on the line, the land is of comparatively little value, the central highlands of both counties are much less broken or in. tersectcd by deep valleys than where the sea coast is approached, as on the proposed Southern line ; the eost of construction will be moderate, and owing to the superiority of the gradients the working expenses will be proportionably less than on the proposed Southern Line; the prospects of traMe accruing from the population of both counties, northward and southward of the line, are much greater than by a Southern line, as the Central line would accommodate In Cornwall alone, out of a population of 341,000, about 326,060 in a greater degree than the proposed South line; whereas, if the latter line were adopted, 16,000 only would be accommodated in a greater degree than by the Central line) and in regard to Devon, the benefit of the Central line would be extended to a population of 60,009, within six miles on each side of that line. " Another advantage which would result not only to Govern ment but to the commercial community, by the adoption of the Central line, would be its adaptation to the electro-telegraph, which might be made the medium of instant communication be. tween the port of Falmouth and the metropolis. " That the Central line is proposed to be a double line, and to be worked by locomotive engines; whereas the Southern line is to be a' single line, and to be constructed on the at. mospheric principle. t' Wherefore your memorialists pray your Honourable Board to report in favour of the Central Line of Railway from Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance, whenever the competing lines shall be presented to your consideration." That this Meeting will support the Central line by every means in its power, and earnestly solieits the Members for the county of Cornwall, and for this borough, to place their names on the Pro. visional Committee, and to give the Central Line their undivided support in Parliament and elsewhere. Edmund Turner, Esq., 15,1. P., stated his determination to sup. port the Central line by every means in his power, and requested his name to be placed on the Provisional Committee.

Exeter, Nov. 2, 1844.—At a public MEETING of the inha. bitants of this city and neighbourhood, held this day, in oompliance with a requisition most numerously and respectably signed, The Right Worshipful the MAYOR in the ehalr, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : That the city of Exeter and its neighbourhood, from its popula tion and geographical position, is entitled to the advantages of the railway system on a more extended scale than it at preeent enjoys ; and that this meeting considers that the construction of a direct line of railway from London through Yeovil to Exeter, and its con tinuation through the centre of Devon and Cornwall to Falmouth, would be an undertaking of great national importance, and highly advantageous to this city, and especially entitled to the support of all who feel interested in its prosperity. That this Meeting regards most favourably the eonstruction of a railway to Barnstaple, through Crediton, which will open a emu munication between the North of Devon and the various lines of railway which may be concentrated at Exeter. That this meeti►jg pledges itself to use every exertion to promote and earry out the objects et the foregoing resolutions.

Second—What is the whole amount of deposits actually paid on the shares for your Company, and where is such money now de posited? Third—How many, and which of the persons who have signed the declaration published by you, and dated 11th instant, in favour of your project, have proved their confidence by taking shares in it, and paying the deposits thereon, and what Is the aggregate nutn ber of shares so taken P Fourth—Has any account of the traffic on your line been taken or any calculation made of its amount, and if so, what Is the amount of revenue calculated on, distinguishing the amount ex pected to be received for each separate branch of such traffic ? The public have a right to expect a plain and full reply on these points, and if not given at once, I must only infer that they cannot be satisfactorily answered.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Our readers scarcely need to be reminded of the ingenious mode of operation adopted by the authors of the Constitution of the United States for the purpose of conducting the election of the President with the requisite order and dispatch. In the month of No vember preceding the actual election, the whole consti-_ tuency of each state names as many electors or delegates as it sends members to Congress, who are invested with the function of electing the President, and are of course pledged to what is termed " the ticket" of one or other if the leading candidates. The votes of these electors are subsequently transmitted by sealed lists to the Pre sident of the Senate, by whom they are opened and i counted in the presence of Congress ; so that, in reality, except in those cases in which neither candidate has a majority of the whole number of electors appointed, when the House of Representatives proceeds to ballot for the President, the preliminary nomi nation of electors is the most important and tumultuous part of the proceeding, and when there are but two candidates in the field, the final result of the contest may thus at once be ascertained. This nomina tion of the presidential electors has just been completed, and it appears to leave no doubt as to the triumph of the Democratic party, and of their candidate, Mr. Polk. The surprise, and, we must add, the apprehensions and regret, which this event will produce in Europe, are in creased by the fact that it is the great States of New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, which have turned the scale. Far from exercising that moderating power, and, if we may so speak of anything in America, that Conservative influence which might seem to belong to their position, their wealth, their mercantile interests, and their exemption from slavery, Pennsylvania has in this instance obeyed the same influences which have already connected her name with bankruptcy and anarchy, and New York has followed her example. Of Mr. Polk we know nothing, except that he has achieved a triumph over the most able and respected man in the Union, although he was scarcely more known in that union a few months ago, than he now is in Europe. He has not been chosen for his past ser vices, or his political experience, or for civil eloquence, or for military fame; for these qualities would doubtless long ago have brought him within our notice, if he had possessed them or any of them. But the less of personal greatness or influence he could boast of, the better was he fitted to answer the expectations of his adherents. Whatever he may turn out to be hereafter, we can only Judge of him at present as the delegate or instrument of the passions by whi c h h e h as b een thus strangely raised into this conspicuous position. As such, then, sve must remark with no ordinary concern, that with the single exception of the tariff question, on which he is pledged to a more liberal commercial policy than his opponent, his election to this im portant office is the triumph of everything that is worst over every thing that is best in the United States of America. It is a victory gained by the south over the north—by the slave states Over the free—by the repudiating states over the honest ones—by the partisans of the anrexation of Texas over its opponents—by the adventurous and unscru pulous democracy of the new states, and the foreign population in those states, over the more austere and dignified Republicanism of New England, No one in Europe has failed to observe the rapid decline of the United States in public morality and in public estima tion, in their policy and their principles as a nation, and in all that renders a people permanently strong and prosperous, during the last few years, and more especially during the accidental administration of Mr. Tyler. The death of General Harrison was indeed in more ways than one a national, and more than a national, calamity ; but we had not ceased to entertain the hope that the party which brought him into office four years ago would now be strong enough to carry Mr. Clay's election. It ap pears that the evil has already gone too far. By pander ing to the passions of the populace, Mr. Tyler has not only let loose, but instigated the worst tendencies of de mocracy. To his treaty with Texas, which drove Mr. Van Buren from the field, Mr. Polk may be said to owe his election. Until that question had been brought forward, the name of Polk was unknown except at Almack's. The Whig candidate has perished in the attempt to stern This fierce current of misdirected popular excitement. The Whig party have been beaten, when everything depended on the possibility of restoring moderation and probity to the Government of the country by their in fluence ; and it is scarcely too much to say, that Texas has already given a President to the Union. If Mr. Polk adhere to the pledges under which his electors are likely to raise him to the chair, he is pledged to a foreign war. The grounds on which General Jackson and his friends have given their support to Mr. Polk are before the world ; and we have already combated their arguments and their assumptions. They amount to the s:rongest expressions of hostility against the sup posed influence and designs of Great Britain on the North American continent ; and either the means they have used to gain the popular suffrages are as insincere as they are false, or they hold that the acquisition of Texas, by arms, if necessary, is the first duty of a Pre sident of the United States. They can hardly escape from the dilemma in which they stand between excessive rashness and excessive deceit ; but we cannot expect that they will have the energy or the power, any more than Mr. Tyler has had them, to resist or control the popular excitement which has brought them into office. It has been observed by the most judicious ob server of the institutions of the United States, M. de Tocqueville, that political parties in America rally round an individual as the symbol of their own theories ; and that parties are strongly interested in the election, not so much with a view to the triumph of their principles under the auspices of the President elect as to show by the majority which returned him, the strength of the supporters of those principles. It must not be presumed that the success of the democratic party on this occasion is so complete as at once to have decided in their favour all the great questions of domes tic and foreign policy. If the election of a President irrevocably decided the policy of a United States Go vernment for the next four years, the country would be not only agitated but convulsed by such a contest. But the strict limitations imposed by the Constitu tion on the power of the chief magistrate, and more especially the control exercised by the Senate of the United States over his relations with foreign Powers, render the triumph less signal and the danger less im minent, Be the indiscretion of a President what it may, he can scarcely plunge the country into war or confusion as long as the Senate remains faithful to its trust. What, therefore, we chiefly deplore on the present occasion is, the defeat of those men who were most able and most willing to have laboured to restore the financial and political credit of their country ; who, if they were unable to shake off the curse of slavery, would at least have striven to prevent the consequences of slavery from becoming the guiding and general law of the public policy of the union ; who would have ab stained from repine, maintained peace, and adhered to the doctrines which once shed honour on the characters of American statesmen. Clay and Webster are still en titled to that name ; but the tune is past when they could guide the destinies of their country, and by casting them off in the hour of trial, the people of the United States have only rendered the vices of their present condition more conspicuous, and prepared the way for the increas ing evils and excesses of their future career. CHRONICLE.—The Government journals continue to devote a good deal of their efforts to the circulation of the fact that the Anti-Corn-law League is dead. There is quite an extraordinary degree of anxiety manifest in the repetition of the statement. Now and then, indeed, we find that " dead" is to be taken as a rhetorical ex pression for " dying," for it cannot be concealed that the monster still moves, although, by all the rules of art, it ought to have been stiff and cold long ago. Thus we were informed a couple of days ago, that the League was at the last gasp of its wicked existence, and might therefore be permitted to escape the legal punishment due to so foul a conspiracy. It so happens that this decaying association was then, and is at the present moment, carrying on a new and vigorous agitation in Lancashire, the spirit of which sufficiently appears in the proceedings at the Rochdale meeting, reported in the Chronicle of Saturday. Mr. Cobden and his friends are in the right track when they endeavour to make an im pression on the county constituencies. So far as opinion I goes, an immense progress has been already made. The confidence of the farmers in the continuance of the corn-law, which was a main source of its strength, has been everywhere shaken, and in a large proportion of cases wholly destroyed. Whether protection be good or bad, men have ceased to rely on it. Nearly everybody thinks that sooner or later it must go. This uncertainty has provoked numbers to examine into the merits of the principle, who took them for • granted before, and such examination rarely ends in confirming the errors which preceded it.. The more clear-headed amongst the farmers are persuaded in their heart of hearts that a clean sweep of the corn-law, and a corresponding adjustment of rents, would leave them infinitely better off than they are at present. But many things conspire to prevent such men from speaking out, and still more from acting upon their real opinions. The power of their landlords, the terms of existing contracts, framed with reference to supposed protection prices, and the disagreeable consequences of opposing prejudices in their own class, concur to prevent a direct movement amongst the more enlightened farmers in favour of free trade. Thus the faith in protection and the desire for its continuance may be, to a great extent, undermined without altering many votes at county elections, and, of course, without changing the character of the county representation. Under such circumstances, the question presents itself whether there is any necessity for leaving the county representation everywhere, . as fails practi cally, in the hands of a class so dependent on theland lords ; and it is obvious that no such necessity exists in counties containing a large manufac t uring whitinthe population. i The forty-shilling county qualification reach of many who could hardly obtain any other fran chise. Mr. Cobden has sho wn how this qualification may be obtained, and how, by means of it, a new and valuable class may be added tothe constituences of such a county as Lancashire. It is not uncommon foryidus trious operatives to accumulate enough for the purchase ~,_.. MISS CLARA SEYTON'S MUSICAL and DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENTS, CROSBY HALL. BISHOPSGATE-STIU:ET.

" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

About nine o'clock on Saturday night about 100 people with leaskets, sacks, bags, and shovels, assembled on the Place de l'Eure, and gathered up the coffee scattered along the shore from the wreck of the Deux Paulines, and even took possession of fragments of the vessel. Two officers of the customs endeavoured to stop the plunder, but were soon overpowered by numbers and beaten Off. They would hale fared much worse but for their own prudence in making a timely retreat. The pillage was continued throughout the night, and in the morning the predatory band was increased. One man took away, on a horse which he brought for the purpose, 1,2001 b. of coffee, but of this quantity 7001 b. was found in his house, and taken away and lodged in a warehouse. The officers on duty at the citadel compelled all who entered through it into the town to deposit their loads under the vault of the Porte de Secours, where they still remain.—Galignones Messenger. Dispatches from the Governor of Cape Coast were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office. of a forty-shilling freehold, and if they — prize a county frote, there is no reason why their savings should not be so invested. There would be nothing illegal or improper in this, no creation of fictitious qualifications. The vote thus acquired would be acquired on the grounds origi nally contemplated by law. It would be acquired by those only who had that degree of industry, frugality, and interest in public affairs which the possession of a property qualification is presumed to indicate. A class of such freeholder; too, would hare that deep interest in the preservation of peace and order tied the stability of sound institutions ivhich is sup posed to arise. from having " a large stake in the country," but which, in fact, is quite as sure to be found in the possessors of small properties. Very important indirect advantages would thus arise. New links be tween different classes would be created, new motiv*s to industry and accumulation would be presented, and the whole !tru , _!ttire of society in tli manufacturing districts would be improved by the influence of a hody.of humble but independent proprietors. That this scheme will be carried into effect with the usual energy of the L-ague there can be no doubt. The Rochdale meeting shows how they are at work. They very properly begin at home. In South Lancashire the example must b.-.! set. Success there is indispensab!e. The example of South Lancashire, however, will soon be followed. When that greet constituency has been reformed Mr. Cobden and his coadjutors ivill have little difficulty in any other manu facturing county. MISS MARTINEAU-MESMERIS3L The eferienccum of Saturday contains a long communi cation from Miss Martineau detailing the particulars of a wonderful cure which, she says, has been effected by mesmerism, after a serious illness of five years and a half. Of the character of the disease under which she suffered she thus speaks :—" This is not the place in which to give any details of disease. It will be sufficient to explain briefly, in order to render my story intelli gible, that the internal disease under which I suffered appears to have been coming on for many years ; that, after warnings of failing health, which I carelessly over looked, I broke down, while travelling abroad, in June, 1839 ; that I sank lower and lower for three years after my return, and remained nearly stationary for two more preceding last June. During these five years I never telt wholly at ease for one single hour. I seldom had severe pain, but never entire comfort. A besetting sickness, almost disabling me from taking food for two years, brought me very low, and, together with other evils, it confined me to a condition of almost entire stillness—to a life passed between my bed and my sofa. It was nut till after many attempts at gentle ex ercise that my friends agreed with me that the cost was too great for any advantage gained ; and at length it was clear that even going down one flight of stairs was imprudent. From that time I lay still, and by means of this undisturbed quiet, and such an increase of opiates as kept down my most urgent discomforts, I passed the last two years with less suffering than the three preceding. There was, however, no favourable change in the disease. Everything was done for me that the best medical skill and science could suggest, and the most indefatigable humanity and family affection devise, but nothing could avail beyond mere alleviation. My dependence on opiates was desperate. My kind and vigilant medical friend— the most sanguine man I know, and the most bent upon keeping his patient hopeful—avowed to me last Christmas, and twice afterwards, that he found himself compelled to give up all hope of affecting the disease— of doing more than keeping me up, in collateral respects, to the highest practicable point. This was no surprise to me, for when any specific medicine is taken for above two years without affecting the disease, there is no more ground for hope in reason than in feeling. In June list I suffered more than usual, and new measures of alleviation were resorted to. As to all the essential points • of the disease I was never lower than immediately before I made trial of mesmerism." Miss Martineau then giv( the following narrative :—" On Saturday, June 22, Mr. Spencer Hall and my medical friend came, as arranged, at my worst hour of the day, between the expiration of one opiate and the taking of another. By an accident, the gentlemen were rather in a hurry—a, circumstance unfavourable to a first experiment. But result eno ug h was obtained to encourage a further trial, though it was of a nature entirely unanticipated by me. I had no other idea than that I should either drop asleep ar fed nothing. I did not drop asleep, and I did feel something very strange. Various passes were tried by Mr. Hell ; the first that appeared effectual, and the most so for some time after were passes over the head made from behind, passes from the forehead to the back of the head, and a lido way down the spine. A very short time after these were tried, and twenty minutes from the begin ning of the seance, I became sensible of an extra ordinary appearance, most unexpected, and wholly unlike anything I had ever conceived of. Some thing seemed to diffuse itself through the atmosphere, not like smoke, nor steam, norhaze—but most like aclear twilight, closing in from the windows and down from the ceiling, and in which one object after another melted away till scarcely anything was left visible before my wide-open eyes. First, the outline of all objects was blurred; then a bust, standing on a pedestal in a strong light, melted quite away; then the opposite bust; then the table with its gay cover; then the floor, and the ceiling, till one small picture, high up on the opposite wall, only remained visible, like a patch of phosphoric light. I feared to move my eyes, lest the singular ap pearance should vanish; and I cried out, • 0 ! deepen it ! deepen it !' supposing this the precursor of the sleep. It could not be deepened, however; and when I glanced aside from the luminous point I found that I need not fear the return of objects to their ordinary ap pearance while the passes were continued. The busts re-appeared, ghost-like, in the dint atmosphere, like faint shadows, except that their outlines, and the parts in the highest relief, Wood with the same phosphoric light. The features of one, an Isis with bent head, seemed to be illumed by a fire on the floor, though this bust has its back to the windows. Wherever I glanced all outlines were dressed in this beautiful light; and so they have been, at every seance, without exception, to this da3 ; though the appearance has rather given way to drowsiness since I left off opiates entirely. This ap pearance continued during the remaining twenty mi- Lutes before the gentlemen were obliged to leave me. The other effects produced were, first, heat, oppression, and sickness, and, for a few hours after, disordered stomach, followed, in the course of the evening, by a feeling of lightness and relief, in which I thought I could hardly be mistaken." The second application of mesmerism was made by Miss Martineau's maid. "Mr. Hall," says Miss Mar tineau, " was prevented by illness from coming over, too late to let me know. Unwilling to take my opiate while in expectation of his arrival, and too wretched to do without some resource, I rang for my maid, and asked whether she had any objection to attempt what she saw Mr. Hall do the day before. With the greatest alacrity she comp!ied. Within one minute the twilight and phosphoric lights appeared ; and in two or three more a delicious sensation of ease spread through me—a cool comfort, before which all pain and distress gave way, oozing out, as it were, at the soles of my feet. During that hour, and almost the whole evening, I could no more help explaining with plc asure, than a person in torture crying out with pain. I became hungry, and ate with relish, for the first time for five 'Tars. There was no heat, oppression, or sickness during the seance, nor any disorder afterwards. During the whole evening, in stead of the lazy, hot ease of opiates, under which pain is f,-lt to lie in wait, I experienced something of the in describable sensation of health, which I had quite lost and forgotten. I walked about my rooms, and was gay and talkative. Something of this relief remained till the next morning, and then there was no reaction. I was no worse than usual, and perhaps rather better. " Nothing is to me more unquestionable and more striking about this influence, than the absence of all re action. Its highest exhilaration is followed, not by depression or exhaustion, but by a further renovation. From the first hour to the present, I have never fallen back a single step. Every point gained has been steadily held. Improved composure of nerve and spirits has followed upon every mesmeric exhiliration. I have been spared all the weaknesses of convalescence, and carried through all the usually formidable enterprises of return from deep disease to health, with a steadiness and tran quillity astonishing to all witnesses. At this time, before venturing to speak of my health as established, I believe myself more firm in nerve, more calm and steady iu mind and spirits, than at any time of my life before. So much in consideration of the natural and common fear of the mesmeric influence as pernicious excitement---aa a kind of intoxication." - Miss Martineau mentions several incidents.—" other striking incident occurred in one of the earliest of my walks. My mesmerist and I had reached a headland nearly half a mile from home, and were resting there, when she proposed to mesmerise me a little—partly to refresh me for our return, and partly to see whether any effect would he produced in a new place and while a fresh breeze was blowing. She merely laid her hand on my forehead, and in a minute or two the usual appear ances came, assuming a strange air of novelty from the scene in which I was. After the blurring of the out lines, which made all objects more dim than the dull gray day had already made them, the phosphoric lights appeared, glorifying every rock and headland, the horizon, and all the vessels in sight. One of the dirtiest and meanest of the steam tugs in the port was passing at the time and it was all dressed in heavenly radiance — the last object that any imagination would select as an element of a vision. Then, and often before and since, did it occur to me that if I had been a pious and very ignorant Catholic, I could not have escaped the persua sten that I had seen heavenly visions. Every glorified object before my open eyes would have been a revelation, and my mesmerist, with the white halo round her head, and the illuminated profile, would have been a saint or an angel." ----- ADVERTISEMENT. -- ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF ASTHMA.
