The advantage of a junction of the different lines leading to Newcastle in a central station mist be admitted to be very considerable, more especially when it is considered that many of them carry a very large local traffic for short distances. The number of local passengers entering and leaving the present Gateshead station is stated to be not leis than 500,000 annually; and on the Newcastle and North Shields Rail. way not less than 850,000 passengers are conveyed annually. It has b.en objected, that this amount of local traffic might interfere with the through traffic of the Newcastle and Berwick line, which proposes to use the line of the Newcastle and North Shields for a short distance; but, as the two lines wilt be united under one ma.. nagement, and as the number of through trains will not be great, we do not think that any injurious amount of interference, either in respect of public safety or convenience, need be apprehended. The connexion with the Newcastle and North Shields Railway also affords a ready means of access to the shipping quays at Newcastle, which is very desirable. It is proposed also to render the railway-bridge across the Tyne available for the general traffic of coaches, carts, and foot-pas sengers, which will be a considerable benefit to the town of New castle, the opinion of whose inhabitants, as expressed by resolutions of the town.council, appears to be decidedly favourable to the mode of traversing the town adopted by the Newcastle and Berwick scheme, as compared to that of the competing scheme. A similar preference appears to be given to this scheme by the inhabitants of Morpeth, on the ground that it affords them a better station and preferable local accommodation ; and generally speak. ing, both in the above respects, and in giving a communication to Alnwick, Blyth, and to the populous mining district of Killing.. worth, Benton, Seghill, &c., the Newcastle and Berwick scheme appears preferable to its competitor as a local line. The superiority of its gradients also renders it a better line for the important local object of the cheap transport of coal from the mineral field of the Tyne to the more northern parts of the county, and the Kelso branch has in this respect a similar advantage over the corresponding branch of the Northumberland scheme. We have already referred to the circumstances in which the two schemes originated, and to their relations to the other existing railways in the great eastern line of communication, for the purpose of stating that such considerations could only be en. tertained by us in so far as they had any bearing upon the question of the comparative public advantage of the schemes themselves as finally submitted to us. In this point of view, however, it becomes impossible to overlook them. On the one hand, it is claimed as one of the strongest ground of preference by the promoters of the Northumberland line, that their scheme is entirely independent of all existing railway inte. rests; while, on the other hand, the connexion between the Newt castle and Berwick scheme and the lines already completed or sanctioned to the north and south of it, is urged by its promoters as a valid reason, on public grounds, for giving it a preference. The argument of the Northumberland Company is, that such an identification of interest as amounts to a virtual monopoly exists among the different lines forming the eastern line, and that this monopoly would be consolidated by giving a preference to the Newcastle and Berwick scheme all the way from Edinburgh to Rugby. It is therefore urged that it is highly important, on grounds of public policy, to break up this monopoly by placing the important link between Newcastle and Berwick in the hands of an independent Company, to a certain extent in opposition to the existing interests. After having given the subject all the consideration which its undoubted importance merits, it does not appear to us that any. thing that can be called monopoly, in the proper sense of the word, exists at present, or would be extended or consolidated by giving a preference to the Newcastle and Berwick scheme. The different Companies forming the links of the line from Rugby to Edinburgh, 1. c. the Midlands Companies, the Great North of England, the Newcastle and Darlington, and the North British, are independent of each other. As regards some of these Companies, it is notorious that this independence is acted upon to the fullest extent, and that there is not even that unity of manage. went and policy which might not unnaturally have been expected to result from an identification of interest. In regard to other Companies, again, this unity does exist to a greater or less degree, founded in a great measure upon common interest. This unity of interest, however, is consolidated by no permanent tie, and might be dissolved to-morrow by the shareholders of any one of the Companies named, if they saw reason to believe that their own interests and those of the public were being sacrificed to promote the interests of other lines. There does not appear, however, to be the slightest ground for alleging that this has been the case, or that the unity of interest, such as it is, which has subsisted among the different Companies on the eastern line, has been otherwise than advantageous to the public. The term "monopoly" cannot be applied with any justice to such a combination of the different consecutive links of a great line of railway communication as tends to ensure the whole being worked as one concern for the purposes of the through traffic. On the contrary, the objection might be more aptly applied to the existence of one of such links in a state of absolute independence, with both the power and the inducement to put the public to in. convenience, in order to extract an undue proportion of the profits of the through traffic. Such instances are by no means imaginary ; on the contrary, many cases might be quoted where the public have been subjected for long periods together to great inconvenience, and have been heavily taxed, owing to the absence of that unity of interest between connecting lines, which is objected to as creating monopoly. It will be sufficient to refer to one case, that of the interrup. tion which for a long time existed at Birmingham, whereby persons who had begun their journey between London and Lion. pool, or Manchester, as second or third.class passengers, were fre. quently compelled, either to take out first-class tickets for the re. mainder of the journey, or to incur a serious delay. It is found also in practice, that unless a very close unity of interest exists among the different portions of what really constitutes one great line of communication, it is scarcely possible to introduce that harmony and accuracy of arrangement which are essential to en. sure speed and punctuality. Many important branches of traffic also are apt to be neglected, which can only be properly developed were a long consecutive line of railway is united in one common interest. Coals and heavy goods, for instance, ern be conveyed for long distances with a profit at rates which would be altogether in sufficient to remunerate a Company which had only a run of ten or twenty miles, and thus many of the most important benefits of railways to the community at large can only be obtained by uniting through lines in one interest. Nor does it appear that any dis advantage can result from such union among the consecutive links of one through line, similar to that which may be apprehended where cross lines, sanctioned for entirely different purposes, sup ported by different streams of traffic, and united by no legitimate common interest, combine for purposes of mutual defence. In such cases it is evident that amalgamations, especially if of a per manent nature, ought to be scrutinised with extreme jealousy; but the case appears to us to be very different as regards lines which con stitute portions of what, for paramount public objects, must be considered as properly one system. RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE I BOARD OF TRADE. REPORT OF TEE RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE ON THE SCHEMES FOR EXTENDING RAILWAY COMMUNICATION PROM NEWCASTLE TO BEE WICK. (Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be printed, 24th Feb. 1845.) Railway Department, Board ef Trade, Whitehall. The Board constituted by minute of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade for the transaction of railway business, having had under consideration the two competing schemes for extending railway communication from Newcastle to Berwick, viz., the Newcastle and Berwick, and the Northumberland, have de. termined on submitting the following report thereon for the con.i deration of Parliament. In this case there can be no doubt that the object of completing the eastern line of communication by the construction of the sole remaining link between Newcastle and Berwick is one highly de sirable to be attained ; and as there are two companies in the field to effect it, and the returns of traffic appear sufficient to show an expectation of a fair though moderate return on the capital re. quired, we may at once assume that the question is reduced to one of preference between the competing schemes. The Newcastle and Berwick scheme is promoted by the same parties who have carried out the remaining links in the east coast communication between Darlington and Edinburgh. The abandonment of the portion of their line beyond Darlington by the Great North of England Company, owing to the expensive nature of the works upon the line selected between Darlington and Newcastle, and the difficulties arising from the state of the money market, rendered the attainment of this object for a considerable time exceedingly problematical. At length, by the aid of a gua rantee of six per cent. given by the several Companies interested in the Eastern route, the requisite capital was raised for completing the communication as far as Newcastle. The success of this pro. ject led to the formation of a Compfseri; promoted by the same in. terests, to construct the North British line from Edinburgh to Berwick, which was sanctioned by the Legislature last year. As a natural consequence of the sanction •f the North British lino, the pre-ject of a line between Newcastle and Berwick, for which sur veys h.ci been previously made, was trought forward under the auspices of the united eastern Companies, north of Rugby ; from a corre.pondence which has been made pubic, it ap. pears that there would have been no likelihood of opposition to it, had net the line, as originally laid out, threatened to interfere iii a particular instance with private property in a manner considered so objectionable, that nn opposition Company was got up fur the express purpose of averting the injury. Upon the details of these proceedings we shall not further inter; for we think it right to state that, except in so far as the actual position and relations of Companies formed for the promotion of particular schemes may affect the general question of public advantage, we have not thought ourselves warranted in allowing circumstances wLich may have led to the formation of these Companies, or which may have takes place previous to the submission of their schemes in a defi nite form, in compliance with the standing orders of Parliament, to enter as an element into our consideration. We proceed ; there fore, to compare the two schemes now before us upon their public merits, altogether irrespective of the circumstances which may have led to their formation. The first and most material point of difference between the two schemes is, that the Northumberland Railway is projected as an atmospheric line, by parties who profess the utmost confidence in the success of the atmospheric system, and are fully prepared to adept it, unless the contingency, which they consider extremely improbable, of an unforeseen failure of the experiment now about to be tried on the Croydon and Epsom line, should compel them to resort to the use of locomotive engines. It becomes necessary, therefore, that we should state, both in regard to this and to other schemes similarly circumstanced, how far the conclusions at which we have arrived have been formed or modified by reference to the atmospheric system. The experiment at Dalkey may be considered, to a great extent, conclusive as regards the success of the atmospheric sy.tem, con. sidered merely as a mechanical problem. It is demonstrated that trains may be propelled by means of it at high velocities, with safety and convenience to the public; and there appears not suffi. cient reason for doubting that, as far as mere mechanical arrangements are concerned, the same result may be at. tained when the separate consecutive portions of line over which the trains have to pass are multiplied indefinitely. This, however, is a point which will soon be brought to the test of experience by the experiment about to be tried on the Croydon and Epsom line. It is impossible, therefore, not to feel the highest interest in the progress of an experiment, whose success hitherto has been suffi cient to induce eminent authorities to entertain strong hopes that the result may be an acceleration of speed in travelling, combined with the general introduction of a system of very frequent trains and low fares. The question, however, assumes a different aspect when we are called upon, in forming a judgment upon competing schemes, to assume the complete success of the atmospheric system, not merely as a mechanical theory, or as applicable under peouliar circum stances, but in a practical and commercial point •f view, as appli sable to railways generally. While we wish to guard ourselves against being supposed to express any opinion whether the atmospheric system may or may not be found ultimately to be so applicable, it becomes necessary for us to state a few obvious reasons why we should not be justified at pre sent in allowing the assumption of such success to enter as an ele. ment in the comparison of such lines as are now under conside ration.

EXPERIMENTS by means of tke DIVING BELL and DIVER, &c. &c. . . . . _ ED. ♦IME, Secretary, Assuming for the moment all mechanical difficulties to be over. come, the question still remains by which the practical success of any system of propulsion must be tested, via., that of expense. Under this bead the important question is not yet fully solved, whe. they a double line may not be equally required with the atmo spheric as with the locomotive system for the convenient working of a large and mixed traffic over an extended line. Upon this point the opinion of some eminent authorities has been strongly expressed to the effect that a double line, with double tube, kc., would be indispensable, unless upon a short line, where the traffic should consist of a certain number of trains starting at regular Interva4 horn each end; ner is there anything in the experience of the atmospheric system, up to tire pres:nt time, that would warrant us it, assuming this opinion to be alto. getber unfounded. But if we were to assume a double line to be necessary, the first cost of construction under the atmospheric system would be so greatly increased, that to reduction in the rate of workitg expenses cottel compensate for it , ualsss the traffic was exceedingly large. The cost of t h e atmospheric apparatus is esti. mated by Messrs. Eamuda, in their evidence last 'year Wei) the Cro ) don arid hpsom Committee, at 4,0004 per mile of single line, independently of the cost of stationary engines, which Is estimate., at abouts,ooo/. for every three milts, or 1,7004 per mile. The actualstated by the manager of the Dalkey litre, in his evidence before h Epsom in power by the atmospheric system was Committee, last year, to have been a frac n over pe r e mile ; and, i nc l uding the cost of maintenance of lien ie eCroydon o cost yd 7o d on.f and way, the comparison was stated, by the same gentleman, to stand as Pd. per mile under the atmospheric system, against Is. 44d. per mile under the locomotive system. It is evident, therefore, that even if we could assume the sufficiency of a single line under the atmospheric system, we should not b e warranted i n assuming the success of that system, in a commercial point of view, as an esta blished fact, especially when the traffic is not likely to be large. It is also the opinion of many practical men, that the atmospheric system could not be applied with advantage when the traffic is of a mixed character, consisting, in a great measure, of heavy trains of goods and minerals, and there are, as yet. no sufficient data to warrant us in assuming this opinion to be altogether with out fossiatiaa. Under these circumstances, and considering that, on the one hand, a good locomotive line can always be rendered available for the atmospheric system, should that system be found to succeed; while, on the other hand, a line laid out expressly for the atmo. spheric system might not, in the event of its failure, admit of being readily converted into a good locomotive line, we have not thought ourselves justified, when comparing two rival projects presented to us, in assuming the complete success of the atmospheric system, which is still under experiment, but have thought ourselves bound to form our opinion upon them with reference to the present and not to the future or possible state of the science of railway loco motion. We are of opinion, therefore, that in the case before us, such modified identification of interest as exists between the Newcastle and Berwick and the other eastern Companies cannot be considered as objectionable on public grounds; but, on the contrary, as furnishing an additional guarantee for the proper working of the ine, and full development of its resources in the manner most ad.. vantageous for the public, reference being had to the peculiar dr. cumstances in which the eastern chain of communication is placed by the competition both of steam-boats between London, Edinburgh, and all the principal eastern parts, and also of the western line of railway communication, which will afford a route between Edin burgh and London only a few miles longer than any that has haw proposed on the eastern side of the kingdom. In another respect, this same identification of interest affords an important advantage, viz , in the additional security which it af fords for the completion of the undertaking in its integrity. The returns of traffic submitted to us show a sufficient but still a moderate return on the capital that may probably be required ; and therefore, in the event of any unforeseen accident or change in the mlney market, it is by no means an improbable contingency, that a new Company, left entirely to its own resources, might fail to complete the more difficult and expensive portions of the work; such for instance as the bridges moods the Tyne and Tweed. The united interest, however, of the Eastern Companies would at all times be amply sufficient to carry out a scheme promoted by them in such a complete form, as to enable them to contend, at the greatest possible advantage, with the competition of the western lines for the Sco ch traffic. This consideration ap. pears to us also to be a sufficient answer to the ot jection which has been urged by the promoters of the Northumberland scheme— that if the scheme promoted by the eastern Companies is granted there will be less likelihood of the present circuitous route of the line between Newcastle .and Darlington being improved. The engineering difficulties of the country on a direct line between Durham and Newcastle are known to be great, having formerly led to Parliament sanctioning the abandonment of that portion of the projected line of the Great North of England Company for which an Act had been obtained; and as the present route of the New. castle and Darlington Railway accommodates Sunderland, Shields, and the population of the country better, and will be improved by cutting off the angle at Brockley Whins, so as to be only a few miles longer than the direct line, it may be questionable whether the through traffic will be sufficient to justify the ex penditure necessary in order to carry a more direct lire with tolerable gradients across the difficult country to the south of Newcastle. Should this, however, appear to be the cise, there can be no reason to apprehend that the combination of eastern Companies, after completing the communication to Edinburgh, would hesitate about effecting any improvement which, in the even balance of distance between the eastern and western lines of communication with Scotland, was felt to be important. For the following reasons, therefore,- 1. Because the Newcastle and Darlington is a decidedly better line than the Northumberland, considered with reference to the established method of propulsion upon railways, which alone has undergone the test of experience ; 2. Because it affords more local accommodation, and passes the principal towns, in a manner considered by the inhabitants to be more conducive to their interests; 3. Because it affords more convenient bridges across the Tyne and Tweed ; We shall proceed therefore to compare the two lines, apart from all considerations as to the atmospheric system. As locomotive lines, the Newcastle and Berwick has a great superiority over its competitor in respect of gradients. The gradients of the Newcastle and Berwick line are of a very superior description, having in the whole course of the line only two planes, one of 1 in 170 for n miles, and the other of l in 150 for two miles, upon which the use of additional power might occasionally become necessary. All the rest of the line has remarkably easy gradients, and would admit of being worked over at the highest velocities. The Northumberland line has gradients of 1 in 50, 1 in 59, 1 in 80, and on the whole, a length of upwards of five miles, at an inclination steeper than or equal to 1 in 100, and of 81 males at an inclination of lin 100 to lin 150. It is true that these gradients are generally far short distances, and undulating, and are there fore not so objectionable as if they had been for greater lengths ; still, when compared with the excellent gradients of the other line, their inferiority is manifest. Our views upon the subject of gradients have been already fully stated in our report upon the Manchester and Leeds district, to which we here refer. It will be seen, that while as a general rule, and more especially for lines of light and frequent traffic for short distances, in districts where level gradients cannot be attained with out an enormous increase of expense, we are disposed to think that undue importance has often been attached to superio r ity o f gradients, as compared with economy in the first cost of construe. tion, we do not fail to recognise the obvious advantage of good gradients, when such can be attained at any moderate cost, upon such a line as the present, which forms a great link in a very im portant and extended system of national communicatio n . Perhaps the greatest advantage of decidedly good, as compare d to inferior gradients, is, that they adm it, con s i s t ently with eco nomy, of a higher degree of punctuality. The c h ances of d elay are considerably multiplied upon steep gradi ents, occurring too frequently to admit of the regular use of assistant power, espe cially in certain states of the weather. Upon sho r t li nes, and for a local tra ffi c, this may be comparatively unimportant, but where the delay accumulates over 60 miles, and a ff ects th e w h ole system of trains from Newcastle to London, it ma y become a f orm id a bl e evil. Accordingly, we can have no hesitation in pronouncing de cided superiority of gradients a strong feature of preference in a line such as that from Newcastle to Berwick, and as su ffi c i ent to compensate for the di ff erence in actual distance, in which respect the line on inferior gradients has the advantage. And, 4. Because its connexion with the other railways forming the eastern line of communication, affords a better guarantee fcr its completion, and for its being worked in a manner the most benc. ficial to the rublic. We are of opinion that, upon public grounds, it deserves a pre ference over the competing Northumberland scheme. This opinion might have been modified if the erperiority of gradients on the part of the Newcastle and Berwick line had involved any disproportionate increase of expense. But this does not appear to be the case. The works of both lines am remarkably easy, with the exception of the brid ges across t h e for Tyne and Tweed, and passage through the town o f N ewcastle. The estimated capital of the Newcastle and B erw i c k li ne i s 1,400,0011.; that of the Northumberland, 1,000,0001 Th e l atter certain estimate . b inswfofra far it singleit might be atmospheric aeeur a accurate line, a double l ocomot i ve line., and it is th ere f ore not very Assuming this, however, to be the case, the excess of capital upon the main line of the Newcastle and Berwick will not be very great, ex to expensive which we sh a ll presently vas since out of the 400,000/. additional whichthseagse of the Tynechemeiseti mated to require, it provides eight and a half miles of b r a nc h es f or local accommodation, not provided for by th e ot h er scheme, as and I t a b s r a n u m g much c h the m ,i t r n e w c n o m o f p l et e Newcastle,ail d Pe object b e t by e : n lo the y high parts bridge and advert: In regard to gradients, therefore, we co ns id er t h at the Newcastle and Berwick scheme has a decided advant age, an d t h at the small additional outlay at which this advantage may b e pur chased, is, in a case like the present, well bestowed.

The N ewcas tl e and viaduct,Berwick scheme forming a di proposes teet t oeffe communicationc tthis of Newcastle and Gateshead, and uniting in one centr a l s t a ti on a ll the different railways which radiate from Newcastle. between In conclusion, we beg to draw attention to the passage of the Filth Report of the Select Committee of last year, in which it is stated, in recommending that reports should be made to Parliament by this department upon railway schemes, " That no such reports should be held to prejudice the claims of private persons, the examination of which should be altogether reserved to the Houses of the Legislature." In submitting to Parliament, in conformity with the recom mendations of that Committee, the results at which we have arrived, with a view to the information arid assistance of Parliament in forming a judgment upon the schemes in question, in so far as our report may be available for that purpose, we are anxious that it should be distinctly understood that we have arrived at these results solely upon public grounds, and to the exclusion of all con siderations how far such results might require to be modified by a due regard for private rights and interests.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, By the an ival of the packet-ship Patrick Henry, Captain( Delano, we have received New York papers to the Bth inst.. inclusive, being seven days later than the last intelligence. The news is of considerable interest. The House of Repre sentatives had passed the Bill for the occupation of the Oregon territory, after much discussion and some violent speeches by certain members against Great Britain,. of which the following are specimens ;—Mr. Douglas, who seems well fitted for a lawless borderer, said, " Give us mili tary posts in that territory, garrison them with American officers and soldiers, and he, for we, would not care much about laws. It was not laws, nor civil authority, by which possession of the country could be maintained, but it was by military force that we must take possession of it as well as keep it. If the question should bring us to war, much as he deprecated it, much as he loved peace, he would be ready to meet it. Let us establish our military posts, have our naval forces on the coast, and be in a condition to repel any egres sion on the part of Great Britain, and punish any invasion on our rights, and then, if war shall come, we will be ready to meet it." Mr. A. Brown said, that Great Britain could not make war against the United States for anything contained in the Bill before them ; but if she should consider it cause for war, he would say, "Let her h ave it— on t h e fi rst day and hour that she desires it let her have it." On the Ist inst. Mr. Winthrop addressed the Committee in an able speech against the Bill, in which the spirit of War and of aggressive acquisition which was prevalent in the House was severely and justly rebuked, and the violent and abusive language indulged towards Great Britain, as it re spects her policy in this conduct, skown to be wholly with out warrant, either of history or of contemporaneous circum stances. On the 3d the Bill was finally passed by a majority of 14.0 to M. It was introduced into the Senate on the following day, read twice and referred to a Committee. The Committee of foreign relations bad reported against the Bill for the annexation of Texas. The correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer, dating iVashington, February 10, says upon the question of an- " The Committee on Foreign Relations, through their chairman, Mr. Archer, made a report to the Senate to-day, adverse to the project of annexation. The Committee con sist of Messrs, Archer, Choate, Morehead, and Buchanan ; and they were, with the exception of Mr. Buchanan, unani mous in the report and the accompanying resolution, which is as follows : •' Resolved,—That the joint resolutions from the House of Representatives for the annexation of Texas to the United States be rejected.' " They also reported an additional resolution, which merel recommends that the memorials on this subject referred: the Committee be laid upon the table." On the following day a Bill was presented on this question, which provides for the annexation of Texas as a State. Com missioners are to be appointed by the President to negotiate with Mexico and Texas, for which purpose the Bill ap propriates 100,000 dollars. The Commissioners are to re port, and in next Congress their communication will be considered. The creditors of the repudiating States will be glad to learn that Pennsylvania has paid the February interest on her debt. A Bill to that effect passed both branches of the Le gislature by a unanimous vote in each, on the Ist instant. The payment took place on the 3d, and was signalised by the firing of cannon. Pennsylvanian stock has risen coast derably. There had been little or no business in the New York markets in the course of the week prior to the sailing of the packet, on account of the great snow-storm, which had inter rupted communication.

Dumon, Minister of Public Works : " The railway Nom Paris to Lyons is, of all lines, to establish one of those to which the country attaches most importance ; to unite the ocean and the North Sea to the Mediterranean, Paris, the capital of the kingdom, with Lyons, which is its second" town, and with Marseilles, the first of its seaports ; in fine, to connect the north and south of France. Such are the principal results to be realised by the railway from Paris to Lyons ; at the same time, by a branch from Dijon to Mulhouse, this railway will connect Marseilles with Stras bourg, the Mediterranean with the Rhine, and will thus se^ure to France the continuance of the commercial transit which Austria and Italy seek to take from her." Extract of the Report of the Commission (MM. de Lamartine, Ducos, Serme, Meynard, De La Tourneile, Le Viscomti Decazes, Schut zember, Vejux Lebobe) charged with the examination of the " Projet de Loi :" " The great railway going from Pr..rie in opposite directions joining the ocean and the Mediterranean, Havre, Boulogne, Calais, Dnnkirk, the frontier of the north, and the great port of Mar seilles, uniting Paris and Lyons, our two great centres of popula tion and strength, of activity and industry, has always fixed the attention of the Government, the Legislature, and the country at large, and should command prompt execution. Already a line is established from the English Channel, by Havre and Rouen, to Paris, and the Groat Northern Line is being pursued with vigour. At the other extremity Avignon will soon be united to Marseilles, and it is high time that the central part of this great line through the heart of the kingdom, through the midst of its rich population and its principal towns, should be executed." _ _ Applications for Shares and for Prospectuses to be made to Messrs.

SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR. " Most worthy and honourable Gentlemen, Representatives of the Nation,— " I always experience a great pleasure in finding myself amongst you. The precarious state of the health of the Ira rial Princess, my dearly beloved sister, placed me under the cruel necessity of seeing her depart from me. Yielding to the solicitations of the Prince, her august husband, and my very much esteemed brother-in-law, I was under the neces sity of granting her a twelvemonth's leave of absence, for the re-establishment, in Europe, of her very precious health. " The contiued proofs of the valour and loyalty of my fleet and army still deserve my approbation. Their endeavours and my clemency have put an end to the disturbances which lately afflicted the province of Alagfuts, and afford me like wise the best founded hopes that those of my subjects who, in the province of St. Pedro, Rio Grande, and Sul, who have for more than nine years kept up a civil war, will shortly lay down their arms. " The peaceable and friendly relations with all foreign nations continue unaltered, and I shall be very anxious to maintain them without compromising the dignity and interests of the empire. 4 :The national industry, in all its various branches, engages my especial attention, and claims equally yours. " My Ministers and Secretaries of State will give in their respective budgets an account of the matters coming within their several departments. _ _ " Most wortgy and honourable Gentlemen, Representatives of the Nation— " From the perfect harmony which subsists between the political powers of the State, and from your patriotic and well-directed labours, in unison with my zeal, I hope to see the institutions of the :country and the public peace more firmly consolidated throughout the empire. " The session is opened." THE TANNING TRADE. TO THE EDITOR OF 711 E SUN. RESPECTED FRIEND,—I respectfully and earnestly solicit thee to publish in thy valuable paper the following remarks on the proposed repeal of the duty on leather, believing, if it take place, that the tanning trade in this country will be seriously injured, indeed almost destroyed. The proposal, I think, must be au oversight, it being the only deviation from Sir R. Peel's principle in dealing with the tariff, that of re pealing the duty on foreign raw material, and giving en couragement to Brish industry. There is a large amount of capital invested in tanneries, and the manufacturing of hides into leather employs a great number of fairly-remunerated labourers ; the effect of extensive importations would be to deprive the latter of employment, and to make the former of little value. The present duty is so small that it protects the public from having to pay a much higher price for leather than it can be bought at abroad ; it also prevents foreign labour superseding British. Taking into account the higher price of labour in this country, arising principally front what the labourer consumes., being more heavily taxed than it is in others, leather is about as cheap in England as it is else where. If the Englirl, manufacturer be to compete, without protection, with the foreign manufacturer, it is only reason able that the English farmer should compete, without pro tection, with the foreign farmer. If our labourers be to com pete, without protection, with foreign labourers, they should, theybe fre s h t o h t e li cni a p N e .e ti t ti h o e t i i r e fi t )oldeaasts, c h h e ea p p l , ac a e n d d on h n au v equality eitt i e taxes on food must be repealed : not to do I h o p e th e L on - do so would b e to legiAate invidiously, cruelly, and unjustly. Lon don tanners are exerting themselves to protect the trade. Litherland, neari L am iv ' e r r e p s o p o e l c , t 2 fu n i t l o y . ' 26th, 184A5. TANNER.
