In consequence of the great number of applications for share- In this Company which are daily received from all parts of the country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten tion o the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most btr:ctly to adhere:— " As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in terested and of the highest respectability.

G REAT EASTERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. °faces, 5, Gresham-street, Bank, London, November 70845. The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company have much satisfaction in informing the Proprietors that they have concluded an arrangement with the Great WesternlCom- Petty, the South 'Wales, Vale of Neath, and Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester Companies, by which an Amalgamated Broad Gauze Scheme for completing the railway communication with the Mineral Districts of South Wales will be submitted to Parliament with their united support. The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Com pany have felt that, amidst the conflicting interests around them, it was their duty to look rather to the security of their Proprietors than to the absolute integrity of their original plan ; but having secured its virtual integrity by obtaining a share in the capital, and a repre sentati on at the boards of the two Companies by which parts of the work will be executed, they feel confidant that their Proprietors will approve an arrangement by which much useless expense will Le avoided, and the probability cf obtaining the sanction of Parlia ment to the general plan materially increased, whilst a continuous Interest in the line from Neath to Worcester is preserved. They have only to add that, as regards money, they are fully pre pared to meet Parliament, and that they have received the most confident assurances from their engineer and their solicitors that nothing can interfere with the deposit of their plans, sections, and books of reference, within the time prescribed by the standing orders. By order, JOHN HUGHES, Secretary. WORCESTER, WARWICK, AND RUGBY RAILWAY. Offices, 5, Gresham-street, Bank. London, November 7, 1845. The Acting Committee have the pleasure to inform the share holders that, as regards money, they are prepared for Parliament ; and that the plans, sections, and books of reference, will be ready for deposit before the 30th of November. By order, JOHN HUGHES, Secretary. WORCESTER and LEOMINSTER RAIL WAY, via BROMYARD. 5, Gresham-street, London, Nov. 7, 1845. The applicants for shares is this undertaking are informed that, although the shares have been allotted, the Acting Committee will not issu^ them to the public until, by the deposit of the plans, sec tions and books of reference, after the 30th of November, they have proved themselves to be in a position to obtaia their Act in the next sess:on of Parliament By order, JOHN HUGHES, Secretary. RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT. That the public may not be misled by the various statements that have appeared in the public papers, and is the pro *peeing. of She Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New rort on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried, deciarin; the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc tion of railways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen was, at the same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the railway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee to stare, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would pass, but that It is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition to t he project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for. C. W. ESTCOURT, lion. Secretary to the Committee. P.R. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the Direct Hyde and Vcntnor Railway. I am instructed by the Com mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided opposition as the former projects. THE SUN, LO I NDONYSATURDAYMORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1845.

There are some circumstances attaching to the condition in which this country is likely to be placed—if she be not already involved—by the ascertained deficiencies of the last corn harvest, and the perhaps unprecedented failure of the potato crop—that have no parallel, we are inclined to think within the memory of living men. When the famine price," as it is still emphatically termed, which wheat was fetching in the year 1801, was spreading far and wide the empire of actual privation and the panic of apprehended starvation, there were aspects of encouragement in the con dition of other great agricultural countries of Europe which are not to be detected at the present moment. There were no such stringent corn-laws as now exist, and have for thirty years past existed, to scare from our ports the surplus produce, whatever it might be, which the foreign producer, in that period of general want, could spare for exportation to the market of British consumption. The potat crop, which had already become—and fatally, we repeat—the main staple of Irish sub sistence, proved, by a merciful dispensation of PROVIDENCE, abundant as to quantity and superior as to quality. Though a prolonged experience of all its valuable properties as a substitute for cereal products, properly so called—as a " bread stuff," in lieu of bread—was then wanting, the instinct of ne cessity had made this root most largely subservient to the purposes of the deficient grain. It is now beyond all doubt that mildewed and unripened wheats, diseased ryes (still more terrible in their deleterious effects upon the human system); germinating barleys (fraught with the influences of that hideous vitality which may be termed " the life of corrup tion," in contradistinction to "the life-sustaining principle"), and all the manifold adulterations of flour, meal, and bran, which the " devilish cunning of human cupidity" has, in periods of scarcity, always been too successful in devising—swept off hundreds of thousands of our unhappy countrymen at that time, from whom the organised vigilance of a much more recently established sanitory system would have averted the untimely fate which the general destitution of wholesome bread conducted them to. The war still closed the ports of some of the principal corn• growing countries of Europe against us, or that destitution would have been far less mis chievous. Yet even then, the ample resources of a sound potato crop rescued not thousands, merely, but millions of our countrymen in Great Britain and Ireland from the disastrous scourge of famine. In 1845 the condition of things is, to some extent, the reverse of that which we have been describing as existing in 1801. The potato crop is a vast and hopeless failure: the supplies of foreign grain have been large, and, under any scheme of corn-laws less absurd or clumsy than Sir ROBERT PEEL'S vaunted sliding-scale, might have been far more abundant and cheap. Let us, for a moment, measure the impending scarcity that now approaches us by the multi tude of those whom it most nearly and directly affects. To do this,—to calculate the intensity of the evil with which we shall have, in the dead months of the fast-approaching winter, to contend—we must multiply the sphere of thee suffering experienced in 1801 by the increased number of the masses who will come within its operation in 1845. We have no doubt that that suffering will be more severely felt in Ire land than in Great Britain, judging from the scenes which were witnessed in the former country in those several years of scarcity, 1814, 1516, 1822, and 1831. Of course, the rapid progression of her population since the latest even of these dates, although it forms a favourite subject of declama tion and rejoicing at popular meetings, is intrinsically a fearful element in the aggravation of the calamity within the verge of which she is already brought. That scarcity, which was all but intolerable to a popu lation of from four to five millions, will be fearfully destructive, indeed, to it, when its numbers are increased by two or three millions more of human beings, unless that be the fact which no man in his sane senses will venture to infer —namely, that the agricultural production and produc tive industry of Ireland have meanwhile expanded them selves in a similar proportion. But if Great Britain suffered, and was far less exhausted by the deficient crops of the four s s o ig m ht ue s h p b pe e e tt r e . r t T ha r n iet t i h h an y t t h h a e t s o a f m l e re t la es n t, d years we have advert e d to, h er present relative position is n fi o rs t t es t h e might r e a s _ t sion of population, her danger is truly formidable. In 1801, according to the most careful cal cu l at i ons of the late Mr. ' RICKMAN and of Mr. COLQUHOUN, in verifying the Par liamentary Census, of the day, the aggregate population of England, Wales, and Scotland, was but 10,943,000. It is, now, at least 22,000,000. Our Governments, for the period of 30 years which have elapsed since the general PacificatiOn of Europe, have been without any excuse for their neglecting to establish the trade in corn on such sound and stable bases as the possible wants, and the occasional actual demands of a population, whereof the tendencies of increase were so extraordinary as in our own, so impera tively demanded. Year after year the " Census " has been so much improved as to leave them in no want efiucontrover tible data on which to assume the fact this gigantic in grease in the native demand of the two islands for the s.f.aples of subsistence. What have they done to secure a ptrmanent and ample supply of these staples? Let us not be accused of unfairness if we hold Sir ROBERT PEEL, of all men living, responsible for the selfish and unstatesman like 'anomaly in legislation, which is dignified by the name of a corn-law. Whatever other Ministers may have done or devised, he has artilleuged this position of unenviable responsibility. But not a brief lustrum has yet elapsed since Sir ROBERT PEEL introduced, expounded, and car ried against all opposition that Act for the regulation of the corn trade upon a " sliding-scale," in virtue of which exorbitant prices for bread have been ever since maintained in this country, and by reason of which the very sources of foreign supply that, had we consented to receive them un burdened with the duties in question, would have completely anticipated the scarcity of the present season—have beat largely dried up by our own act and deed. If we had any wish to signalise the triumph of our own opinions on this subject over the principles advocated by Sir ROBERT PEEr., on those occasions, we might here repeat his own words on commending his last edition c f the sliding-scale to the sanction of Parliament. But it is needless to cite particular expressions from a speech, the sum of which, divested of all the Right Hon. Gentleman's accustomed egoisme and self-laudation, was to challenge for his plan the power of obviating, as far as human foresight could do so, all danger of deficient supply, and of scarcity prices in future. He ridiculed the apprehensions aroused by those who were for either absolutely making the trade in corn free, or for legitimatising imports of foreign grown wheat at a certain fixed duty per quarter. He turned a deaf ear to all remonstrances on tha danger which our continued discourage ment of foreign corn, in order to give the home-grower a mo nopoly of the home market, was incurring of largely diminish ing the cultivation of the wheats grown in the vicinity of the Baltic, and in the countries along the banks of the Vistula. What is now the condition of things v,ith respect to these countries, and the probable demand for their pro ducts before the closing in of the winter? At the moment we pen these lines no Order in Council has been promulgated on the subject of opening the ports ; but it is considered in many well• informed quarters that such an order must be im mediately promulgated. In the interim, we affirm, without hesitation, that the history of this country does not exhibit a case of more stupendous and self-convicted failure in the policy of its Ministers than that which has been manifested by the corn-law blundering of the Premier. He has incurred by it a frightful responsibility, and is bound to apply what remedy can yet be administered without a day's unnecessary delay. It is a great relief to persons compelled to read the political discussions of hostile parties, and the articles in French and English journals, so often disfigured by violent and senseless national antipathies, to find now and then something like fair play exhibited, and full justice done to the merits of opponents. We have, therefore, read with much satisfaction some remarks made by a French journal, the Paris Constitutionnel, on a work just pubished by M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNB, describing the present situation of political parties in England, and estimating the respective characters of Whig and Tory leaders. To Sir ROBERT PEEL full justice is rendered, more, it is admitted, on account of the excellence of his measures than of the questionable means by which he was restored to office. The writer has sketched in a skilful manner a picture of the history of the two last sessions, so full of striking features, whether as re gards the policy of Sir R. PEEL, at direct variance with the opinions of many of his adherents, or the noble cenduct of the Opposition, especially that of the Whig leaders, who, in contempt of all the allurements of place and pensions, main tained their principles with undeviating and honourable firmness. On the latter subject the Constitutionnel justly remarks :—" 'When have the English Liberals shown themselves great and truly worthy to govern their country? Was it not when Lord JOHN RUSSELL, putting far from him the idea of overthrowing the Ministry, came forward honestly and unconditionally to give Sir ROBERT PEEL the support of all his friends? Was it not when Mr. MACAULAY, resisting the threats of his constituents, declared in Parliament that he would, if necessary, sacrifice his seat, and employ his fu. ture life to sustain a political adversary ?" This is the truth, but not the whole truth. The Liberal party have not only supported the measures of the Conservative leader, by their votes and their speeches, but they have taken no advantage of circumstances to throw obstacles in his way, or stir up opposition from quarters which might have en dangered the stability of his Cabinet. Like men conscious of the integrity of their purpose, and anxious to see the grievances of their country redressed, they have sunk every personal consideration, and strengthened the popu larity of their opponents, both by speeches in Par liament and addresses to their constituents. They have even risked their seats in the House of Commons, be cause they preferred toleration in religion and justice to Ire land, to the applause of misguided electors, and, above all, to the threats and entreaties, and even the hostility of a vast proportion of the Dissenting clergy, long their avowed and most efficient supporters. We can find no instance in the history of England where a whole party exhibited such proofs of real patriotism, and sacrificed their interests for the good of the community. This is a noble trait in the character of political parties, and forms a gratifying contrast to the selfish opposition made by GREY and WELLINGTON and PEEL to the Cabinet of the persecuted CANNLNG. But let that pass. We occupy ourselves only with the present position of affairs, and with the altered tone which certain political writers in France display, when alluding to the proceedings of Parliament for the last few years. The article in the Constitutionnel exhibits sound views and friendly feelings to wards England, and we, therefore, transcribe with pleasure the following extract as a specimen. After adverting to the contents of M. DE HAURANNE'S work, the writer adds : " It is need'ess for us to observe that the views of the illustrious writer are precisely our own. But we more particularly join with him in the praises which he bestows on the noble conduct of the principal English statesmen of all parties, and to the full share of justice he renders to the English nation itself. We have always believed that it was a bad defence of a good cause to make an appeal to national or party prejudices, and that the advocates of liberal ideas ought to show themselves worthy of their doc trines by leaving to others the task of awakening and bringing into play old hatreds and passions. Is not the knowledge of how to render justice to one's adversaries, and even to one's enemies, the most worthy and the best means to assure to one's own life and acts an equitable and impartial judgment, and to conquer esteem in default of power ? We cannot dissemble our sympathies as to the struggles of the English Parliament, but in offering up our wishes that both in England and in France the doctrines of complete liberty and equality may progress, we espouse co quarrel, no particular rivalry, and, particularly, we cannot refuse our admiration to the illustrious chief of the English Cabinet, when we see him boldly lead his party in the paths of reform, and so nobly risk his political destiny to secure the triumph of ideas which he believes to be useful. We declere loudly that we be lieve, with M. Durergier de Hauranne, that England has just pre sented to the world a grand and fine spectacle, and we feel the less pain in admitting it, as we reckon on the same justice for France, when our Government shall merit it." The accounts from Paris of the prices of stocks and shares are unfavourable. A further depression took place on Wed nesday, caused chiefly by the fall in the London Money market. For cash the Three per Cents. closed at 15c. and the Fives 10c. lower than on the previous day. In most lof the principal railway shares, especially the Paris and Rouen, a decline has taken place, from a scarcity of money required to meet ether engagements. The Paris journals contain a variety of intelligence not without interest. The Jour nal des Debats contains an account, however, from its Macao correspondent, which forms rather an excep tion. The letter extends to more than five columns, and furnishes details of the ratifications of a treaty be tween China and France, in which we find nothing new respecting the treaty, or the manners and customs of the Chinese. " The ceremony," says the writer, " took place on the 24th October, 1844, near the Bogue, in the village of Tai pin-pieou, and in the house of the Chinese Admiral who commands the naval forces on the station. The treaty having been signed on board the Archimede steamer, that is to say, according to the laws of nations on the French terri tory, it was by a feeling of just reciprocity agreed that the exchange of the ratifications should be made on the territory of the other • contracting party. As the Chinese, however, will never be behind hand in politeness with any body, it was arranged that on the evening before the day fixed for the ceremony, the Imperial Commissioner himself should pay a visit to M. DE LAGRENE, on board the Cleopatre, in the roadstead of the Bogue." Another letter from Macao, of the 31st of August, announces that M. DE LAGRENE was preparing to visit the five ports of the north, and that he will return by Suez to France, where he is ex pected to arrive in April. According to accounts from Paris the rise in the price of provisions began to create alarm. "Provisions," says one of the journals, " are every day becoming dearer in Paris. Po tatoes are now double the price they were a month ago. The price cf other vegetables rises in the same proportion. Poor families are already beginning to feel severely the effects of the bad harvest. If this rise in the price of provisions in creases in the same proportion for only one month, the neces saries of life will become beyond the reach of the indigent." The accounts from the country are of a similar character, and preparations were in progress for relieving the poor in case of a dearth. The Municipal Council of Strasburg, following the example of Mulhouse and Nancy, had voted money for the purchase of 7,000 metrical quintals of wheat in foreign markets. The wheat is to be stored, and should a rise in price take place it will be retailed during the winter to the poor at prime cost. These instance of humanity are honourable to France ; and we therefore regret to find in one of the Paris journals a spirit displayed of such a maliLnant character, that, were it generally adopted Sy Frenchmen, would excite universal indignation. The Presse, the faithful representative of Queen CHRISTINA'S sentiments, taking for granted that the English Govern ment is about to throw open the ports, calls on the French Ministry to be on its guard, and prevent the English from coming to France and carrying off food to satisfy their hunger. After some introductory remarks about the diffi culty of regulating the price of provisions, it says : "Ten laws hive been enacted on the subject sines the year 1841, not one of which has received a definitive solution, as if the most general interests were those worthy of the least attention; and now, in the midst of that abundance with which Providence has been pleased to enrich us, in the midst of general distress, a measure about to be adopted in a foreign country me naces our security. Will this fact be considered a suill. cicntly grave warning for our improvidence ? Our labouring population must have bread aid employment. We have, thank God, both one and the other this year. Let us take care of them, and for that reason let us prevent the English from coming to sa tisfy their hunger at the expense of those gifts which God has re served for us. This is a sad necessity, no doubt, and at which our humanity ought to lament. It would be more chivalrous to sacri- ' fice ourselves for our neighbours, but good policy is not always consistent with chivalry. The French Government ought to take care of the French population, before it melts into pity for the sufferings with which Ireland is menaced. England is, moreover, sufficiently rich, and has too many modes of acting in the two hemispheres, to be seriously embarasaed in supplying the deficiency of her crops. It is not for us, who have only as much as we want for ourselves, to supply her. We repeat, therefore, if the mea sure in contemplation in England be carried into effect—if England op en her ports to the free importi.tion of corn, our Government ought to close ours. It is the right, as it is the duty of that Government." On Wednesday morning the Invalides roused Paris by the firing of twenty-one guns, for the safe accouchernent of the Princess DE JOLNVILLE, which took place at St. Cloud. The Princess was delivered of a son, who had received the title of Duke DE PENTIIIEVRE. The accounts in the afternoon stated that both the Princess and her son were as well as could be expected. According to the Journal des Debats, the Duke of BORDEAUX was about to pay a visit to the Emperor of RUSSIA, at Palermo. We learn from the Marseilles journals that Counts BELTRAMI, BIASCOLI, PAK, and VITELLAND Dr. ANDREINT, the Advocate RIENzr, and Signor GRUNDI, chiefs in the late insurrection in Romagna, who had been de tained in the prisons of Tuscany, have been set at liberty, by order of the Grand Duke, and have arrived at Marseilles by the Levant packet the Sesostris. Such conduct does great honour to the Grand Duke, and is a marked reproof of the wretched system of Government persevered in by the Cour t of Rome The following are miscellaneous extracts from the continental papers:— • " The State Gazette of Lucerne of the Ist instant contains the following Last evening S. Muller, of Stechenzain, confessed that lie had assassinated M. Leu with a fowlisg.piece, in which he had placed a catbine bullet. He told where he had hid his wea pots, which was found where he pointed out. He acknowledged, besides, that he had twice watched M. Leu for the purpose of shooting him. This confession agrees with the result of the official investigation. Ile declares, also, that he did not act through a spirit of vengeance, but from being promised a sum of money by M. Leu's political enemies. Dr. Casitner Plyffer was arrested immediately, by order of the Judge d'lnsttuction. Other arrests have also taken place, and great agitation reigns in the town. Troops have been sent for. The Grand Council is con- voked for the 3d instant. It is believed that this confession was extorted from Muller.' " In consequence of a decision of the Board of Health at Naples, dated the 17th and 20th ult., on the occasion of the Eclair, the entrance of French produce which has traversed the ocean has been refused to captains of our ships. Our Ambassador has thereupon made strong remonstrances to the Neapolitan Government. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the kingdom of the Twn Sicilies, the Prince de Scilla, made the same answer to M. de Montebello which he had given the day before to the English Ambassador, viz.- ' That his Government was an entire stranger to this measure; the Board of Health at Naples, as well as those at Genoa, Nice, Leg horn, Civita Vecchia, and the other ports of Italy, was completely independent.' Notwithstanding this system the Ambassadors per. sist, and it is hoped that the Board of Health will submit to the opinion of the King's Government. " The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from Constanti.. nople, •datgd the 15th ult.:—The news from Syria has caused great agitatiOn here. It is reported that the day before yesterday the representatives of the foreign powers met in conference at Count St urmer's. When M. de Bourqueney received the account of the acquittal of the Druse Chief .Abou Neked by a tribunal convoked by Chekib Effendi, his indignation was extreme. He was on the point of requiring an audience of the Sultan to demand that this judgment should be annulled, and if he met with a refusal to make preparations for his departure. The strong representations of his colleagues, and particularly of the Austrian• and Briiish ambassa. dors, succeeded in inducing him to renounce this determination, that could only have produced serious results, which, under pre sent circumstances, would not have been justifiable The position of the French ambassador is peculiar from his having to exercise an extensive protection. There are in Sria twelve convents, the Catholic religion having been established there from the time of St. Louis."

(Lefebvre's) Verona and Ancona West Flanders We have received Madrid journals of the 30th ult. An English messenger, it appears, had arrived with dispatches from Lord ABERDEEN, and some of the papers infer that he had brought important intelligence relative to the marriage of the QUEEN and her sister. The Espectador says, the British Cabinet had forwarded a note to the Spanish Govern ment, in which it protests against the contemplated marriage between the QUEEN'S sister and the Dukc DE MONTPENSIER, al least, till her MAJESTY shall be married and:have issue. The banishment of the confessor to Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA was still a subject of conversation. According to the Eco del Cornercio, he bad been ordered to repair to Albacete, his native place, notwithstanding a favourable audience he had obtained of the Queen-Mother, to whom he had represented that her sister, the late Infanta Dona CARLOTA, had, on her death-bed, desired him to remain with her sons. No reason is assigned for the order. Martial law had been proclaimed at Malaga on the 28th October, in consequence, as appears by a proclamation of General BRETON, of the discovery of some military con spiracy. The Glob° states that Ministers had assured their friends that, previous to the meeting of the Cortes, the nego tiations with the Court of Rome would be brought to a.suc cessful issue, the QUEEN acknowledged, and the sale of the Church property sanctioned. The scheme for raising the funds had succeeded, and stocks continued to rise. On the 30tlatno quotations appeared in the official bulletin, but in a note the editor gives the following prices: —The` Three per Cents. closed at 35 for cash, and 35 1 4 at a short date; the Five per Cents., at 2.1 1 / cash, and 24 3 / for ; the Coupons , at 251 /8 3 / 4 ; and the Debt without Interest, at 8 and 814. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, including 350 Carthaginian at 3d., 150 Maranham at 5%d., 200 Surat at 2 1 / 2 d. to 3 1 11 d., and American at 3d. to 5 1 1 t d. per lb. The market was steady. Shares were very flat again. In the Third Edition of The Sun of last evening appeared an intimation of the following notice from the Bank of England. It was issued at too late an hour to have appeared in the Afternoon Edition ------ "The Bank of England Lut advanced the r a t e o f i nterest on bills at ninety. five days, discounted by th em , to 3 1 /0 par cent:. Of the importance and necessity of this step 10 doubt can exist. The Bank Directors wish to make money for their proprietors, as well as provide for any material alteration in the exchanges that may occur, should a material alteration be effected in the corn-laws. Not a doubt is entertained but that some change is imperatively required, and the modus operandi is what is required to be known in the City. There is but one feeling among mercantile men, as to the delay that has already occurred on the subject of the issuing of the Order in Council, as it checks business in many of its im portant branches, and, if much longer continued, will entail many difficulties in conducting operations for a considerable length of time. The Funds are affected by the increased value of money, and there is a disposition to exercise the greatest caution in doing business. Consols have been 95 1 / 4 to 95 for present transfer, and 95% to 95 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 275. to 245. premium.
