The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will be ettezted b,tween all existing and projected railways north of the Thar.,,, combined with the advatittz,a of a general City terminus, _is too i , tivlcius to rcquire comment. By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense, and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission of tire mails to most parts of the kingdom. Th.:. lee will commence at the Great Western Railway for and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter 9,etifig the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town, the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near Pen tunril!e, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwall Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts of Pad. Camden.town, Islington, City-road, lloxton, Kingsland, ud ilackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime. ?,,,tise, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf ontage of 170 feet. The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City road, Crivebouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available -. 1 at present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now fisting on the canal. Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro. 9sect extension, which it is found can bo constructed at a corn :ratively xnoderate expense.

There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are already established, and a ccmparatively small extent only of pri. ♦ate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased, and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may be confidently expected within twelve months after the sanction of the Legislature has been obtained.

Capital, 200,0001. in 10,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share. _ . This short, but important, line of railway is intended to com mence at or near the Brough station of the Hull and Selby Rail way, and to proceed by way of South and North Cave to Market Weighton, and thence to Pocklington, there to join a projected line to Easingwold, on the Great North of England Railway. This undertaking will involve the construction of not more than 18 miles of railway, but will complete a direct chain of com munication between the Northern coal fields and the port of Hull, which will, doubtless, become by means of the facilitites thus afforded a great port for the shipment of coal to foreign ports. But, be. sides the commercial consideration, this important article of domes. tic consumption will thus be materially cheapened, not only to Hull but all the districts lying contiguous to the line. A rich agricultural district, as yet unsupplied with the facilities of railway communication, will by the intended railway be opened out, and a large and hitherto undeveloped traffic in agricul tural produce will necessarily be conveyed upon it. It will in connexion with whatever line may be sanctioned by Parliament between Pocklington and York, complete a new and direct communication between Bull and York, and by its junction with the Easingwold Line torm a direct course to the Northern Counties of England and the whose of Scotland, and thus prove a feeder of the utmost consequenee to the Hull and Selby Railway, The country is remarkably favourable, in an engineering point of view, being in fast almost a perfect level the whole distance, and it is ascertained that the landowners on the line are most fa vourable to the project. . Considering the numerous sources of traffic, and the inexpensive charaeter of the line, this undertaking cannot fail of proving highly remunerative to the shareholders. Power will be taken In the Act, to lease or sell the railway to any one of the lines in immediate connexion with it, and to allow 4 pet cent. on the calls until the line is opened. The undertaking has already received the sanction of a large and influential body of gentlemen, one half of the capital is al ready subscribed for, and a large portion of the remainder will be reserved for appropriation at the discretion of the Committee of Management, amongst the railways in connexion with the line. Advertisements with the names of the Committee of Manage ment and other officers, will shortly appear, and in the mean time applications for shares may be addressed iu the following form, to Mr. J. B. Burland, South Cave, and Mr. Edw. C. Bell, Hull, joint solicitors to the promoters.

There has just been published, in the Journal deB Dehatg, a case so horrible and so remarkable, that we felt ourselves justified in yesterday transferring it to our columns, under the heading of " Religious Per secutions in Russia." At the foot of our translation we have acknowledged the highly respectable source from whence the a r ti c l e i s taken by quoting the journal in question. Postponin g the strong inclination of our own feelings to give expression to all the indignation its perusal has ex c it e d i n us, we cannot h e l p thinking that it involves matter which may well originate the adoption of proceedings, on the part of universal Chris tendom, which religion and policy have alike in vain de mended for eighteen centuries. From a date coeval with the foundation of the Christian faith itself the z.al of sectarian fanaticism has persecuted its opponents—of whatever shade of opinions, under whatever condition of circumstance—with all the barbarous rigours and all the sanguinary penalties that are most opposed to the ge nius of Chistianity; to her precepts and her revelations. In common with our Parisian Contemporary, we would " wish to see the spirit of toleration which has tri umphed in civilised countries take the place of these odious excesses." To go back to the period when Ca tholic armies destroyed, by " fire and sword," the Albi genses and the Vaurians. we also concur in thinking would be but a sorry " means of preventing the perse cutions arising from Russian policy and orthodoxy." But we certainly conceive that it might be very possible for the great Powers of Europe to enter into such engagements with one another as might rescue the great common faith of which, under various forms, all of them profess the essential doc trines, from the disgrace—from the infamy of even by implication sanctioning the hideous atrocities that have been perpetrated, in the name and for the glory of the SAVIOUR (it seems like blasphemy, but it is not less the truth, that we thus write), upon the persons and the honour of defenceless, helpless, women, devoted to the service of religion, and fulfilling the most active and noble duties of human charity. The town of Witebesk has been made the theatre of a martyrdom, in its extent and its details of refined barbarity, worthy of the most ferocious extravagances of NERO, DOMITIAN, or lfaxistes. In a very ancient convent near the town of Minsk, within the territory of Russian Poland, a sisterhood of forty-nine nuns of the rule of Saint Basil, were lately discharging the truly sacred offices which in Paris are fulfilled by the well-known "Sisters of Charity?* They ministered to the wants of the poor ; they suc coured, attended upon, and nursed the helpless or friend less victims of sudden and overwhelming calamities, disease, wounds, accidents ; the sick, the wounded, the dying. They fed them, clothed them, prayed with them. They soothed their last moments with encourag ing exhortation, or restored them to existence and society for the most part as improved in moral feeling as renovated in physical health. These men had for their chaplain a priest named NICHELE WICZ, who, on the Emperor NICHOLAS issuing his ukase, declaring that he would tolerate in his European dominions no other religion but his own—namely, that of the Greek Church—was induced to apostatise from the communion of Rome, to which he belonged, to that of the EMPEROR'S election. his apostasy was re wardid by valuable promotions. He became bishop, and then desired to have the sisterhood follow the example of his apostacy. All his persuasions and his menaces equally failing of their effect, he causes the convent to be surrounded in the dead of night by Cos sacks, who seized them " with the most revolting bru tality, bound them with cords, and conducted them to Witebesk, nearly twenty leagues from Minsk, com pellirg them to walk the entire distance." At Minsk they were Confined in a notorious convent under circum stances of degradation and infamy, for which we must refer our readers to the narrative we have already published, and where, every Friday, fifty lashes were inflicted upon each of them ! Scourged, humbled, starved, " their bodies covered with wounds," these noble nuns were proof against all external cruelty, torture, and violence ; they remained steadfast in their religious profession. With this constancy on their part the auger and ferocity cf the apostate bishop inereased in proportion. He caused the devoted women to be ironed and sent to the galleys, and slow starvation to be superadded to their other tortures. Tormented by thirst, faint with hunger, agonised by bodily suffering, they were now compelled to serve as labourers to the masons employed in building the ecclesiastical palace. Thirty of these martyrs to their devoted fidelity to the church in which they had been reared perished under various strange, and scarcely conceivable tortures. Of the seventeen who survived the fate of those victims, three only retained sufficient strength to effect their es cape from the "schismatic nuns " in whose dissolute service they had been compelled to enter as do mestic slaves. After surmounting difficulties, perils, and reverses, which would seem rather to be• long to an historical romance of the Middle Ages than to the real life of any portion of European society in the nineteenth century, they ac complished their escape into the Austrian dominions ; and one of them, the venerable Abbess, from whom this story of execrable persecution and unmanly brutality has been promulgated, to the astonishment and disgust of civilized nations, is at this moment in Paris. The ferocious apostate, who thus signalised himself as the imm diate instrument of carrying out the Russian Ern peror's insane scheme of compulsory conformity, has since perished by a death, violent, indeed, but all too easy (according to our fallible notions of human retri bution) for a criminal of guilt so desperate as his. lie was drowned. Now, we take it, there can be no difference of opinion entertained among the Governments of Europe—among any Christian States whatever—upon the scandal as well as the enormity of the persecution which the Diocletian of Muscovy is now waging against one of the manifold religiqus sections embraced in the many-peopled, many religioned nation over which he presides. It must be the universal feeling, that the cross—the sacred standard to which all of these Emperors Kings, Potentates, Princes, and subjects have sworn, under the most impressive obligations into which rational beings are capable of entering, absolute allegiance—is dishonoured, polluted, utterly desecrated by impious vielences of this kind. Why should not all the leading States enter into a solemn and permanent convention—a pledge of centuries of peace and improvement to the poste rity of nations, abjuring for ever, for each and all of them, the infliction hereafter of all personal pains or civil disabilities on their subjects on account of religious opinions and tenets, where they have no immediate tendency to violate the laws or disturb the peace and order of their kingdoms ? What would be the inevitable results of such a convention honestly con tracted and honestly adhered to ? The present pacifi cation of all heartburnings and discontents among men on account of their diversities of religious doctrine and ceremonial ; security against the recurrence of them for the future ; and the establishment of a wholesome check on their own imperceptible tendencies to relapse into the criminal bigotry of darker times. But such a convention may touch very nearly the errors of our own domestic Government, and amount to a confession of our own past offences to our Roman Catholic and Dissenting subjects. So much the better. It may touch as nearly some of our best and dearest allies, for the same reason. It may come home to Prussia ; it may reach Belgium ; it may affect France. So much the batter, again, we say. The past cannot be recalled: the future rosy be controlled. Let all the Powers of Europe, acting on the exigency ss hick the carrying out of the AUTOCRAT'S scheme of compulsory conformity has thus c. eated, avail themselves of the opportunity to eradicate from their political institutions, for ever, the fruitful sources of incessant cis il and foreign discontent and com tnotions, of endless sacrifices, torments, assassinations, intrigues, plot, conspiracies —all penal laws against liberty of conscience and private judgment, subject only to the limitations above suggested in matters of doe. trine and religious opinions and observances. solitary instance, the ease of the Eclair, horrible as it is, only a instance, or one even of three or four, of the fatal Fflccts of the plague which rages on certain parts of the Af rican coast, t h e pu bl ic mind would feel less anxiety, an d the attempts of the G overnmen t t o put down slavesai accounts might an 3 d no b .c e o b cub o u r r n t e ti hn w a i t s t t h t aht f ei o n r sgu s f r o te m hr e e 3e . ccntrary, and leave scarcely ings inflicted on our gallant countrymen can never be recompensed even by the atta i nment of the object in v i ew . All se who are appointed to these stations enter on a forlorn hope. They have almost certain death before their eyes, without the excitement of battle and victory, or the belief that their cruel fate will benefit the African But a f ew years since :Lire° vesselt -fitted every fbr counteracting the malaria; a certain proportion of black seamen were placed on board each ship; most of the officers had been more °Hess seasoned to the climate; the friends of the Africans were in high hopes that the expedition would be success ful, though all persons acquainted with the coast augured a very different result. And their forebodings were but too literally fulfilled. Nearly the whole of the European officers and sailors fell a sacrifice to the disease, and only one vessel returned—with i n n iore a th l t i t t n tle one- m h o al r f e of ili t ,p h e e fu c l rewdead, an d the rest condition than those on board the E c l a i r . Thi s h as b een invari ably the consequen ce o f s i m il ar attemp t s , an d what renders the task of putting down the trade more difficult is, that the ships which keep at sea, and only occasionally approach near the coast, are liable to nearly the sane calamities. Any communication with the in fected spots spreads the contagion, and the unfor tunate victims must either desert their post, and seek shelter in a more healthy climate, or dle like outcasts from society. Foreigners shun their touch, they are rarely allowed to land on the most sequestered nook of a French, a Spanish, or a Portuguese settlement, and when they reach their native land a fate only somewhat more mild awaits them. Chang e of air and clothing and medicine, of itself but of little avail, it is true, they obtain, but medical men of eminence will not venture on the scene—they, in fact, are left to themselves, and must recover or die as pleases the SUPREME RULER of events. Were the labours of the preventive squadrons effective, there would be some consolation; but, so far from that, it is admitted on all hands that the blacks are subjected now to tenfold more horrors than in former times ; that abundance of slaves are still imported yearly into Brazil and Cuba. and that so long as the value of a slave remains high it is absolutely impossible to prevent the traffic. Hopes are entertained that by the new treaties with France and the United States every outlet from Africa wiiilll bebe caughtclosed up, by some of and should] the any slavers escape, they will numerous cruisers that will swarm in these seas. The proof, however, is to come. The French officers will pro bably not enter very heartily into a cause without hopes'of glory or much profit. The Americans, so much accus towed to slavery in their own land, we fear, will be still more lukewarm, and the whole burden, as at present, will fall on the devoted o fficers and sailors of the British navy. It becomes, therefore, the Government and the friends of the Africans to inquire how long these calamities are to be endured, and what is the probability of ultimate suc cess ? In our opinion there is no hope whatever. Smug gling cannot be prevented in England and France. Though their shores are studded with custom-houses and preventive service stations, tobacco and brandy, and every foreign production charged with a high duty, can be imported into England at a risk not equal to one-half of the impost. In France, where the regulations are still more strict, the task is equally hope less. English cutlery and cotton goods, and Belgian lace, are smuggled into that country in great abundance, and will be smuggled while the high duty holds out such a tempting premium. What chance, then, have a few cruisers—for the numbers cannot be great, taking the sick and lukewarm in the cause into account—to guard a coast of two thousand miles, or capture the offenders on the high seas ? While there is a de mand for slaves in the New World, slaves will be had ; and should the new treaties in any considerable degree repress the traffic, the price of the cargo will be raised, and the temptation to smuggling only increased. We give every credit to the good intentions of the Anti- Slavery Society, but we cannot accomplish inapossi bilitie,,, and before we be merciful to Africans we nail be merciful and just to the gallant defenders of our country. The Madrid Gazette, of the 30th ult., publishes instruc tions, sanctioned by the QUEEN, for the organisation of schools of art. The Government seem resolved to take the management of education entirely into their own hands. They have displaced the rectors in most of the universities and conferred their functions on the political chiefs of , provinces, so as to have complete control over the students as well as the system of education. This, probably, is a movo the right way. Power is not so dangerous in any hands as in those of the Church. No official business was done on the Bourse. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the defeat of the French troops in Africa, and the attempt at incur rection in the Papal States. Few additional particulars of the attacks made by A BD-EL•KADER are given, but we see, from the tone of the journals, as well as from certain movements, that Marshal BUGEAUD wid be forthwith dispatched to Africa, and probably with full powers to carry on the we.: with vigour. We fear the Emperor of MOROCCO will be placed by it in a difficult position. He cannot prevent AnD EL KADER from taking refuge on the frontier, among tribes that will not recognise his authority, and that he cannot subdue ; but the French may insist that if he cannot preserve neutrality in his dominions, they will do it for him. It appeors that the experimental fleet, under Ad miral PARSEVAL DECHENES, was expected at Algiers; and after a Cabinet Council held at the Tuileries, Loth Marshal SOULT and Marshal BUGEAUD had been sum moned by telegraph to Paris. A Marseilles journal, in an article on the late defeats, insists that ABD-EL-KA DER should be hunted to the last, that no other banner but that of France should be unfurled in Africa, and that nothing but energy and rapidity can secure this important colony to France. " The only way," it says, " of speedily terminating the war, is to carry it on with vigour and lose no time. If the pacific reveries of a few philanthropists, whose hearts are better than their understandings, were applied prematurely, our power in Africa would be sadly compromised. We respect the motives that inspire those theories, but we consider it an act of patriotism and real humanity to combat them with all our might. France wishes to put a period to the war in Africa, and she is right, for political con siderations of the highest importance require it ; but the only mode of obtaining that result is to conduct it with energy and rapidity, and to leave no other banner unfurled in the 'Country but our own. The affair of Africa unfortunately cannot be adjusted by gendarmes, as asserted by the partisans of the pacific system." These, it is known, are Marshal BUGEAUD'S views ; and, under present circumstances, he is not likely to return to his post without liberty to carry on the war in his own way, and without a large addition to the forces already in that quarter. A correspondent of the Journal des Debut, alludes to the difficulties which must arise from the retreat of A BD-EL-KADER within the Morccco fron tier in these words :—" It is to be apprehended that ADD • EL-KADER, after parading the heads °four soldiers among the frontier tribes to excite them to revolt, will retire on the territory of Morocco, without awaiting the arrival of our troops. The revolts of the tribes, even should they cost us some losses, are without danger, because the chastisement is ever certain and prompt ; but the same is not the case with an enterprising enemy, who, relying on the asylum he is sure to find on the bcrders of, our territory, watches the propitious hour, pre pares it by fomenting insurrection, and when he has suc ceeded, pounces upon feeble columns as upon a prey, and then returns with impunity into his retreat, where we are not permitted to follow him. We cannot, on the other hand, charge the Government of Morocco with treason, fur ABD-EL-KADER seeks refuge among tribes who do not recognise the authority of the EMPEROR. It is my conviction that the treaties with Morocco are good, that the Court of Fez would wish to execute them, and that the presence of ABD-EL-KADE R on the Moorish territory is much more menacing for the throne of the EMPEROR than for our domination in Africa—a fact of which A BDERBABMAN is perfectly aware." The 1\ a'ional takes a very different view of the affair, and attributes the present disasters and difficulties to the timidity of the Government, who, under the influence of England, consented to the treaty of. Morocco without binding the EMPEROR down by conditions which would have utterly excluded Ann-En-KADER from his dominions. W e gi ve the article in question at length, as it probably exp resses the sentiments of a large number of Frenchmen : " The accounts from Algeria have naturally made a most painful impression. A great many persons had flattered themselves that the recitals of the colonial press were, to a certain degi ee, exaggerated. Marshal Bugeaud has friends in Africa who earnestly wish fur his return, and have, since his departure, constantly repeated that his presence in Algeria is indispensable, as he alone is capable of bearing the weight of this great Government ; that without him his best lieu tenants fail in energy and judgment; and people ask themselves whether it might not be possible that this troop t,f Seids bad inflated beyond all measure the catastrophe of Djemma Ghazaouat, with the object of raising the value of their idol. The semi- official journals of the evening were therefore sought for with great impatience. It was hoped that the Government would not fail to publish the official details which the Governor- General, ad interim, certainly must have transmitted. These journals, however, were silent on the occasion. The .tifes sayer has contented itself without producing the recitals in the Moniteur Algerien. We think we are very reserved when ne say only that we consider this to be highly improper. Of two things one—either the minister is acquainted with the whole truth, and therefore ought to have published it entire, or it knows not the whole truth, and therefore the too legitimate fears of families demand that it should have warned the people against listening to rumours which may turn out to have been exaggerated. Perhaps the Government shrinks from the responsibility which this complication of affairs in Africa throws upon it. But vainly will it try to relieve itself from a burthen which is chiefly its own. It may, and no doubt will, be said, let the memory of Colonel Montagnac answer for the adventurous sortie•in which, most unfortunately, he lost his life; but it is not from that we have to demand an account of the appearance again upon our territories of Abd-el-Kader, at the head of a numerous body of warriors. The real authors of this new peril are the men who nego tiated and signed the treaty of peace with Morocco before Alva-el-Kader was safely lodged in custody of the troops of Morocco or of I. eance,aad.sent either into this country or to one of the places ou the remote s h ores ' o f Morocco.in stead of vain promises of his b e i ng put at ban, the princip a l negotiator of this treaty, the P r i nce de Joinville, and the Government in whose name b e ac t e d, had firmly insisted upon the expulsion o f Abd- e l-K a d er as a preliminary condi tion for th e sus p ens i on o f h ost ili t i es, M u ley Abd errhaman would, no do u bt, h ave d one a ll i n hi s powe r to give us thi s indispe nsa bl e guarantee of security. But, no ; on account of ' the proximity cl Gibraltar, the parties contented them selves wish we know not what sort of a stipulation which was ridiculous at the time, and of which we have had to su s t a i n the doleful consequences. But , after all, France is cons id ered to be suffici ent ly abundant in brave s o ldi ers to render it unnecessary to economise their blood! 'that thi s bl ood will be avenged We we ll k now , and perhaps ha s b een a l ready. On the first report of what bad happened, General C ava i gnac hastened to the spot, sect an engagement Las already taken p lace. But this reparation, however prompt and energetic it may have been, is not sufficient. As long as Alxl-el-Rader can find a secure refuge among our neighbours of Morocco, th e tranquillity of our possessions in Africa will be daily disturbed. This asylum must therefore be shut against him. The Emperor of Morocco must decide whether he will be for us or for our enemy. If for us, he m us t j o i n hi s troo p s to ours, and in concert with them pursue th e m an w h o i s a constant terror to his dynasty, as well as a scourge to us. In the second case, the Emperor must be again made to feel the weight of our power. It i s n ecessary to act w i t h promptitude and vigour. The peace of Europe cannot last for ever, and we should take advantage of so much of it as remains to fix our dominion so stably' in Africa, that whatever complications may arise in Europe, Algeria may be a succour to us, and not an embarrassment." The Journal des Debats publishes a second letter OCTOBER 8. 1845. containing some additional details from Rimini. The following is the only extract of the least interest:— "The town of Ravenna, ten leagues distant from Rimini, followed its example; a rising took place there on the 24th, in the name of the constitution, but the Cardinal Legate, who resides there, having at his disposal Pontical troops and 1,000 Swiss soldiers, with some artillery," immediately attacked the insurgents. A sanguinary struggle took place, which is said to have lasted for five hours; the artillery fired grape through the streets, and several of the in habitants were killed. The Pontifical troops had on their side one officer killed as well as several Swiss soldiers. We have no further details of what took place at this point, but it appeared that the authorities gained the upper band, and that tranquillity was re-established on the same day. At the first news of the insurrection of Rimini, the Cardinal Le gate of the province, who resides at Forli, took the most energetic measures. He assembled considerable forces, and particularly the Swiss, and marched them with some artillery against the town of Rimini. The insurgents there, who had already bren informed of what had taken place at Ravenna, decided on evacuating the town which they could no longer hold. At the approach of the troops, therefore, they deposited their arms in the market-place, and fled,- some into the mountains, and others to the boats which were at anchor in the port. During the three days that the insurgents kept possession in the town, they behaved with great moderation ; they respected private property, and even the arms and insignia of the Pontificial Government, and, on leaving the place, only carried off the money in the town trea sury and the savings' bank, which, however, did not amount to a large sum. As soon as the town had been abandoned by the insurgents, the old authorities sent a deputation to the Cardinal Legate and to the Commander-in-Chief of the troops coming from Forli, declaring that the inhabitants had remained passive spectators of what had occurred, and im ploring the clemency of the Pontificial Government. The most absurd rumours have been spread throughout Italy. At Venice it was reported that some French steamers had ef fected a landing at Civita Vecchia, and that the authorities had immediately armed a great number of small vessels ready to put to sea. Although the insurrection has completely failed, a great degree of excitement reigns in the public mind ; and it is feared that the insurgents will organise a Guerilla warfare in the mountains. The Government of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany has adopted measures to watch its fron tiers, and the Governments of the other States of Italy have also thought it necessary to take precautionary measures" The Piedmontese Gazette, the official journal of Turin, of the Ist inst., thus notices the affair of Rimini : " A band of several hundreds of men landed furtively on the 24th ult. on the shore of the Pontifical States, and got possession, by surprise, of Rimini, - where, it appears, they had had some understanding with the garrison. On the approach of the troops sent In this Careet lon ...the—disturbers of public order dispersed, carrying away with them the public money. We have no other details of this affair, but it seems that tranquillity is perfectly re-established." According to some of the Paris papers, the Kingof the BELGIANS had published on the 2d an ordonnance which provides that for one year, commencing from that date, the increase of the import duties on cottons shall not be applicable to those of France. The following are miscellaneous extracts : " Louis Philippe was to review, on the Bth, seven or eight regiments of the line, in the Court of the Tuileries. " The Epapne, formerly the Paris Globe, a Government paper, states that M. Ronge, having intimated his intention of visiting France, received a c ommunication, through the French Charg6 d'Affaireg, that he might travel in France as a private individual, but would not be allowed to celebrate worship according to the forms of German Catholicism." " According to a statistical account it appears that from 1827 to 1843 there were 101,739 accidental deaths, and 99,1* suicides in France. The annual average of each of these is 5,984 for the first, and 5,831 for the second. The an nual amount of the last, however, increased in a lament. able proportion. In 1827 it was 1,562 ;in 1830 it was 1,756 ; in 18;34 it was 2,078 ; in 1837 it was 2,443 ; in 1840 it was 2,752 ; and in 1843 it was 3,020. " The Gazette of the Upper Rhine states that a Ministerial rescript has been addressed to all the heads of the Protestant Church in the Grand Duchy of Baden, ordering them not to permit the celebration of public worship by the clergy of the new German Catholic Church in Protestant churches. " Count de Frequelmont, Austrian Minister of State, left Vienna on the 2Gth ult. for Inspruck, to receive the Empress of Russia in the name of his Court, and to accompany her to Milan. . _ _ " The Emperor of Russia continuing, with his son, the Hereditary Grand Duke, his tour in the southern districts of his empire, has visited Bobruisk and Goinel, and arrived on the 12th ult. at Elizabethgrad. " A letter from Stockholm, 22d ult., in the Universal German Gazette, states that after the return of the King there will be a change in the Council, into which several Liberal members are to be introduced. The recal of Baron de Krudener, Ambassador from the Emperor of Russia to the Court of Sweden, had caused a very painful sensation."

Council of Ministers were held yesterday at St. Cloud. The King has commanded that six regiments of infantry and two of cavalry be embarked and carried immediately into Algiers, in the province of Oran, where the Marshal Duko D'lsly is about to receive orders to return immediately." This army, consisting of 12,000 men, is intended for an expedition into Morocco, as is unequivocally announced by the Journal des Debats, of almost equal authority with the Moniteur itself, in the following terms:— " The news published by the Messager will respond to the public cry for a prompt and striking punishment of the perfidy to wl.ich our brave soldiers have fallen victims• Eight regiments, forming 12,000 men, are to be sent immedi ately into the province of Oran. Marshal Bugeaud returns to his post. " It now remains to be seen what shall be the destination of these forces. It is not difficult for us to form a conjec ture. Everything indicates where the blow, in order to be efficacious•, ought to be struck. We shall express our opi nion in one word—we must have done with Abd-el-Kader, and seek him in whatever place he takes refuge. The troops we have in Africa more than suffice for the repression o partial insurrection. The Government need not reinforcer 80,000 men with the single object of chastising some rebel Arabs. "Abd-el-Kader is the sole cause of these ceaseless rebellions. He is the obstacle who must be destroyed before we can arrive at the definitive pacification of Algiers. We have driven this able and audacious chief from the countries of our rule ; he has retired into Morocco. He has establi-hed, in a part of this empire and upon our frontier, his camp. It is there he watches for an opportunity of surprising and killing our soldiers. Conquer or conquered, it is there he seeks shelter from our arms. It is there he must be met, and by one last blow the prestige of his power destroyed. Be tween European powers the aim is the enemy's capital. Abd-el-Kader's capital is wheresoeverhis tents, horses,wives, and old people are. The capital of Abd-el-Kader is at pre sent in Moroceo." The Debats goes on to show that according to the law of nations an expedition into Morocco is justifiable; besides this legal right, there is the stronger one founded upon the treaty of Tangiers, by an article of which the Emperor engaged to expel Abd-el-Kader from the territory of Morocco, or to con fine him therein ; and concluded by saying that the war is not against the Emperor of Morocco, but " against Abd-el- Kader in Morocco." In anothe- article the Debats gives an account of the forces under the Emir's command, and a description of the locality where tL r :Ire placed. It is as follows : " The river de:M4l. - inia, in Morocco, where Abd-el Kader has taken refuge, is but two or three days' march from the French frontier. It is by the coast side that he has come into the district of Nedroma, where is situated the fort of Djemmsa Ghazaouet. passing by the Djebel or Mount Rarmoun by Me suda, and the countries of the Souhalia. His deira is upon the left bank of the river, at the extremity of the little inter nal desert of Garet, upon the slopes of the Djebel Touna and Djebel Azgan, descending from the long chain of the Rif. This deira is a colony of fractions of tribes, who, with their families, hope by the holy war to gain the paradise of Ma hornet. This tribe is composed of about 5,000, of which about 500 are regular cavalry, the rest infantry. All who can carry arms constitute the goum, and settle wherever they find it necessary, to feed their camels, cattle, and horses. The Berberes, or Kabyles, of the Rif, have openly em braced the cause of the Emir, whom they look upon as a saint ; while the Emperor has lost all credit since he treated with infidels. These Berberes have never completely obeyed the Court of Fez. The chain of the Rif lises from the shore of the Mediterranean, above the Spanish settlements, called Penon de Velez and Alhue mas, and extends to Tetouan, not far from Tangiers. The Ka byles are bold smugglers, and cannot be approached in their mountain defiles by the Emperor's troops, and are the most ferocious of all the Maugrel. At one time they successfully resisted 3,000 imperial troops. Abd-el-Kader lives in safety among these tribes, on whom he imposes no laws, and does not even demand from them subsidies. They are accordingly devoted to him. To them he confides his deira, when he sets out on an expedition, and then proceeds with all the men capable of bearing arms. On his way he recruits his forces from the tribes that lie in its way. 'lt was thus that on the late occasion he had with him some of the Beth Suassin of the Guersif, and of the Djeradoua, who belong to Morocco, and with them the Kabyles of the mountains of Sidi• Brahim, in all 4,000 warriors. "The loss cf General Bowjolly on the 22d has been ascer tained to have been serious. There fell with Colonel Berthier 28 killed, and 90 were wounded; 9 horses killed and 11 wounded. The Arabs attacked with 200 infantry and 1,000 cavalry. Of the force cut off by Abd-el-Kader only ten es caped out of 450." The Epoque states that the King was so affected with the news from Africa that he ordered the concert to be post poned, which was to have been given on Monday evening upon the occasion of his Majesty's birthday. The Constiiutionnel mentions that orders to return directly to Paris had been communicated by telegraph to Marshal Souk and Marshal Bugeaud. i -' MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE: The sales of Cotton at Liveryool yesterday were only 80 ' bales, and the market was very dull. There was no change in prices. Shares were quiet, and there was not much doing. If the accounts that were received yesterday and to-day from many parts of Ireland are to be believed, the potato crops are suffering in many districts from the same dis ease as that which had attacked so large a proportion of the plantations in this country. In the county of Cork we are assured, upon the best authority, that a very large amount of damage has already been done. We con fess that we hesitate placing full credence to the statement that the growth of the sister isle has been damaged to the extent a correspondent of ours asserts, as heretofore we have received very gratifying accounts, not only as to the quality of the potatoes in almost all districts of Ireland, but also, that the yield would, in ell probability, be most ample. It is not upon light grounds that we are disposed to look with suspicion to many of the advices received from Ireland of the prospects of the potato crops, as there are many parties on this side ( f the Channel who, as holders of articles usually substituted for flour and potatoes when prices are high, desire the markets to be influenced by reports that may be disseminated through the public press. Any at tempt of this kind ought to be immediately shown up, so that the poorer classes may not suffer by any combination that may be found to enhance the value of the necessaries of life. The state of the Money Market is most Satisfactory. There are not the slightest symptoms of a pressure, notwith standing very large amounts of capital are almost daily lodged with the Accountant-General in the shape of deposits on new railway companies. In truth, there are deposits still in the hands of the private and the joint-stock banks on the same account - , to an extent almost without the bounds of credibility. _ _ _ The 0;11501 Market has been very firm at 98% 1 ,4, and the same value is to be easily obtained for Money Stock. The premium on Exchequer-bills has receded a fraction, but still the interest of money is low. India Bonds are at 63 premium, and India Stock at' 66. About three or four quotations are given in the Foreign list to-day. The old Portuguese Five per Cents. are at 84; the Venezuelan Two per Cents. are at 43; and the Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates 94 to 95. The demand for the Railway Shares is extremely good. Great expectations are entertained of the Ceylon project, passing as it d‘ es through a rich and populous district of this luxuriant colony—and from all information, the cost of con struction will be comparatively easy, as the landholders will support it most strenuously. Great Western Railway Shares are on the advance. Bltt'tlSH FUNDS THIS DA T AT ONE O'CLOCL. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.
