This railway is proposed to commence at ettr!:;bridge, to proceed in a direct line to Northampton, and take ;is course, via Fenny Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Alcester to Worcester. By its junction with the Northern e:nd Eastern Railway at Cam bridge, the London and York Rails; ay near St. Neots, the Leices ter and Bedford or South Winn; and Birmingham Railways, near Northampton, the Oxford au', - Rugby and the proposed Oxford and Birmingham, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny Compton, the Warwict and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon- Avon, and the Oxfc,rd, Worcester, and Wolverhampton near Wor cester, and the pr' posed lines Into Wales from that city, this rail way will conw,ct Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the impor tant tow: - .8 Q Yarmouth, Harwich, Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St. Ed mund's, Lynn, and Cambridge, with the towns and counties of Bed ford, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Banbury, Oxford, Southampton, Coventry, Leamington, Warwick, Birming ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Kiddermin ster, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Hereford, Somerset, South Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this railway will complete tbl3 chain of communication from the east to all parts of England, It will also be the most direct route from London to Warwict, Leamington, Worcester, Ilereford, Kiddermin ster, Stourbridge, Itromsgrove, Droltwien, and Wales. Connecting a very populous district entirely destitute of railway accommodation, opening, too, a direct communication between extensive manufactur ing, mineral, and agricultural districts, and the best and largest coal fields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties. This line must not only be of great public and local advantage, but also insure traffic and passengers, and goods amply remunerative as an investment. The survey made proves the line to be easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken In the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, front the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway.

Lord PALMERSTON thin rose and, in a speech of con siderable length, directed the attention of the House to the affairs of Syria. Sir H. PEEL commenced a reply to the Noble Lord, but an Hon. Member moved that the House be counted, and there being only 25 Members present, the Howie adjourned. In closing this laborious session, I must express to you my warm acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the consideration of many subjects deeply affecting the public welfare. I have given my cordial assent to the Bills which you presented to me for remitting the Duties on many articles of import, and for removing restric tions on the free application of capital and skill to certain branches of our manufactures. The reduction of taxation will necessarily cause an immediate loss of revenue, but I trust that its effect in stimulating Commercial enterprise, and en larging the means of consumption, will ultimately provide an ample compensation for any temporary sacrifice. ---- --- Boulogne and Atniens.. 11 1 / 2 OverYssel — 3/ P Bordeuax &Mediterran Parts& Lyons (Lafitte) 3 1 / 2 Bordeaux and Toulouse , Ditto ( Ganneron's).

From all Foreign Powers I continue to receive assurances of their friendly disposition towards :this country. " selfish indifference to," we are loth to call it—but, at least, the culpable carelessness of human life, which tuo largely operates upon the relations of masters and work men in some of the largest speculations that private capital is invested in. It was stated in the very first ac count we had of this catastrophe that the pit had always been in bad repute " on account of its deficient ventilation." We see nothing in the return of the in quest to disprove the justice of this received impression. Now one is irresistibly tempted to repeat the question — had the better ventilation been demanded for animal chattels, .or other such tangible property, instead of mere human lives, over which our anomalous law, all tenderness under some circumstances, permits under others the most irresponsible custody and control to private individuals. Had these pitmen been partridges in a preserve, or pheasants in an aviary, or sheep in a fold, does any one supp use that after the first represen tation to their owner, that they were exposed in the fold, the aviary, or the preserve, to mephitic gases or noxious exhalations, these birds or beasts would have been left there for another day ? Why, it is not long since we read of all the leaden water-pipes commu nicating between the river and a dog-kennel being taken up and replaced, at a considerable expense, by wooden or clay drain pipes, on a bare suspicion, that some of the hounds had been from time to time affected with symptoms that indicated the presence of seine arseniate deposit from the metal in the water. If the higher and wealthier orders thus manifest a The Convention which I have recently con cluded with the King -of the French for the more effectual suppression of the Slave Trade will, I trust, by establishing a cordial and active co-operation between the two Powers, afford a better prospect than has hitherto existed of complete success in the attainment of an object for which this country has made so many sacrifices.

ABERYSTWITH RACES.—WEDNESDAY. - comparative apathy about the tenderness for human life, which it is not only one of the first objects of morality to inculcate, but should be considered one of the first duties of civilized society to enforce upon all its mem bers, it must be allowed that the orders below them have not been slow to follow their pernicious example. We gather, from a perusal of the daily reports of cases of the police courts, some conclusions that creep out of sight in the elaborate organization of our table of cri minal statistics. Whatever more favourable result these latter may exhibit, we are compelled to infer the fact— the painful and disgraceful fact—that among the in ferior classes (of the metropolitan population at any rate), crimes of violence against the person are decidedly on the increase. On many accounts (and for reasons most of them too obvious to make it ' necessary hero to enforce them) this result is as extraordinary as it is deplorable. To what cause shall we attribute it-? We have long since, in our own minds, arrived at the answer to this query. We consider the result to be ascribable to the gross anomalies of our criminal jurispruth nee. These anomalies, however, determine in• one strangely consistent demonstration—namely, that the genius of our laws, in modern application, is far more vigilant for security of property than for security of life. The con sequence seems to be that persons of interior condition take up a notion that they may, with impunity, commit any serious excesses of personal violence, seeing how in different those in superior ranks of society show them. selves to be to the personal safety, and even existence, of others. Property, indeed, as against poverty, seems to enjoy an immunity from the ordinary liabilities to civi l action, which the latter would certainly occur, for mali cious, or even for mistaken, prosecution. Is there no chance of inducing the Legislature, in the course of the coming session, to look into these anomalies, and devise some remedy for them ? A very few days ago, we published the report of a case tried at a country sessions, in which a young wo man, who had been accused of stealing some drapery in the house or shop of a small trader, was, on the clearest evidence, acquitted. During the trial the poor creature exhibited all the emotions of terror, shame, and distress which an innocent but timid female might be supposed to experience in so trying a situation. Her acquittal was greeted with the most enthusiastic, albeit indecorous plaudits of the people in the Court. But she was again arraigned and tried on further indictments, notwith standing a significant intimation to the prosecutor from the Bench that he should not proceed with them. He persisted. The woman was acquitted again ; but ever since remains in a deplorable state, consequent on the agony of her feelings under so protracted an ordeal. The defeated tradesman retires to his shop, with no other penalty but what it is just possible he may expe rience from some occasional accesses of remorse, or the undissembled contempt and disgust of his fellow-towns men. At another country assizes, in a case in which two fellow-servants had quarrelled, it appeared that the male prisoner had inflicted a kick upon the person of the prosecutrix, from the effects of which she had been already confined to her bed for five and twenty weeks,— w►as still painfully suffering—and, in ell human proba bility, never would recover. All the facts were proved to the satisfaction of the jury ; and the whole punish ment to which the unmanly perpetrator of this outrage was sentenced—•was six months' imprisonment with hard labour. But might he not plead that even this visitation was too severe, when in richer men the gross carelessness that assigns nine and twenty men employed upon and " in" their property to a violent and instan taneous death, is not visited by a deodand, even of as many pence ? ..Mr. Ro The Cardiganshire Stakes of 15 Sovs. each, 10ft.

This match was commenced at Canterbury on Thursday, but the weather altogether spoilt the play. The preceding night had been very wet, and although the morning opened with much promise, yet, about eleven o'clock the rain came down in torrents, and continued until nearly one, when the ground became completely saturated. The sun then shone forth in all his splendour—a circumstance which appeared to summon all the beauty and fashion. of that part of the country, for ere the gentlemen had taken their places in the field, the ground was, three sides of it, encircled by carriages, principally filled with elegantly-attired ladies. The Earl of Winchilsea, with a large party, again honoured the pro ceedings with his presence; W. Deedes, Esq., M.P., was likewise present, with a numerous company of riends ; the Hon. F.

The annual contest amongst the very respectable water men plying at Whitehall-stairs, for a puree of sovereigns liberally subscribed by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Liverpool, Sir Robert Peel, and others of the nubility and gentry of the vicinity, took place yesterday. The race was in two heats with five scullers. H. Pener, pi n k F. Jones, green T. Pacer, red 'l'.

It was a good and very close race. They all went away at the same moment, and then, after a few sharp strokes, H. Pener led. In rounding the upper distance-boat, T. Jones was - second, but, overshooting it, his opponents cut him off, and he became last, but went to work I gain sharply, and overhauled S. Penes, off Brent's-road. H. Pener held the lead, but a little skill displayed by his op ponent, Jones, left it doubtful at one time which would be the winner; as, in pa s si ng some cr a ft off the Houses of Par liainent, against the tide, H.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—The mem-ers of the Royal Thames Yacht Club held their monthly meeting on Thursday evening, at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur street ; Captain Wheeler (the Treasurer), in the unavoidable absence of the Commodore, presided. Captain Wheeler, on the motion for confirming the minutes, suggested that as a motion for building a cutter for the especial use of the Com modore at sailing matches, had been carried at the last meeting without notice having been previously given, that such portion of the minutes be not confirmed on the ground of irregularity.

The wheat is not forward enough yet to have suffered from the recent rains— and no mischief has been done which a few days of fine weather will not repair. We have seen experienced agriculturists from all parts of the county, and we find them by no means desponding, either as to the present condition of the crops, or the ultimate prospect of the yield—very little sunshine will bring prices down as fast as they got up, as our market of to-day has proved. —Western Times. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES The Nottingham trade is in a very depressed and gloomy state. The wrought cotton hose branch is not at this moment worse than it has been in for months past, and the cutup cotton hose branch, which has been stagnant for months, has , revixed a shade. The drawer and pantaloon branch is very dull, and employment scarce. The silk glove branch, after having passed through a sort of fever, has rather suddenly fallen back into its former state, which causes considerable privation amongst the workmen. In Helper and the vicinity the hosiers are attacking the rate of wages ; but the hands, long inured to suffering, seemed determined to resist.—The plain silk hose branch, after being a shade improved, has also retrograded to its old position, if not to a worse. The fancy bobbin-net trade that is, the Lever's fancy trade, continues extremely de. pressed, and many machines and hands are standing, though we have heard it asserted that two of the principal firms have had some large orders, but this we fear is exaggerated. The stint of hours was ,pretty well abided by for a few days, but some of the manufacturers finding they could sell some of their patterns, continued to work long hours this caused the measure to be abandoned, in which attempts are made to induce Parliament to interfere. A meeting was called on Monday evening, at the Town•ball, of the twist and warp hands, at which it was resolved to petition Parliament to limit the working hours of lace machines to aixteen per day. But as Parliament w ill be prorogued, it is said, on the 9th instant, nothing can be done this session.—The warp lace trade is also very dull, especially the cotton trade. The silk branches have not felt it to the same extent, though the warp lace hands have almost taken the lead as to the restriction of hours ; most of the frames are worked single-handed ; the long hours are confined in general to the rotary machines at times, and to those now making cloth. The Bill for corepelling the hosiers and masters to give tickets with their work, as amended and made applicable to the Nottingham and Derby trade, passed the House of Lords on the 30th ult„ and has re ceived the royal assent. It comes into operation on the Ist of January next. This lavk will cause a new era in the hosiery trade as the system of underworking by giving secret prices, and by private docking from the regular list of prices is now at an end. It will cause an equalisation of price, to be given throughout the trade. The Bill now extends to bagmen, and all putters-out of hosiery, who will be compelled to give tickets to their journeymen, and even to their apprentices. It will provide employment for printers to prepare forms of the necessary • schedules, which in some descriptions of work will require to have more than twenty entries. The large warehouses will be compelled to have extra clerks, as with every different description of work a distinct schedule or ticket must be given. It does not appear that the hosiers made any opposition to this law, though in 1823, when a similar measure was proposed by Mr. Peter Moore, M.P. for Coventry, they almost unanimously petitioned against it.— Nottingham Review. DEATH WHILST BATHING IN THE SERPENTINE.— Last evening Mr. Gill held an inquest at the Brown Bear, Knightsbridge, on the body of William Powell, aged nineteen, who was drowned whilst bathing in the Serpentine. The deceased was an apprentice to Mr. Lack, harness-maker, of Stockbridge-terrace, Pimlico, and on Tuesday last, be tween eight and nine o'clock in the evening, be, with a fellow apprentice . named Hayley, went to the Serpentine to bathe. Powell went into the water first, and having got . . about eight or nine yards in the river from the shore,. he was observed by his companion to be struggling in the water, and tried to call for assistance, but was unable. He sunk, and an alarm having been given, the boats belonging to the Royal Humane - Society came to the spot, and in about tin minutes the body was recovered, and conveyed to the receiv leg-house, where every means were resorted to to restore animation, but without effect. Verdict, "Accidental death." A gentleman present wished to know if the Royal Humane Society thought three men sufficient to watch the numerous bathers? Mr. Charlier, the secretary, said that they would like to have double the number, if they had sufficient funds; the present was the only accident of a fatal character tha, had occurred this season, although the number of bathers bad considerably increaaed. New oats were cut last Monday at Cromwell, but generally speaking, that (as well as other grain) is remarkably late, and the rainy weather very much militates against its ripening. Nottingham Journal. A MAN KILLED By A BULL.--On the arrival of the down train at Selby, on Tuesday morning, the body of a man of the name of Isaac Woodcock, was discovered lying at the bottom of one of- the caravans, which contained a bull, be-. longing to Earl Fitzwilliam, whilst proceeding to the exhibi.; tinn of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society at Beverly.

Sin,—That a very many improper transactions are car' rying on now in some union workhouses is as clear as that the houses have been built. Sir J. Graham expressed his astonishment at the statements made by Mr. Wakley in the house of Commons this day week, and said he c t.tlki not believe the assertions ; if what was stated be true, be must have heard of the eirzannstances before. t not the Home Secretary be deceived; he may depend upon it that in some union .houses transactions take place which he little thinks cf. The c.nintry has paid officers in abundance, beginning with the poor-law commissional; and downwards, and yet (even from what has been broached in Parliament during the last six months) we `have most disgraceful transactions carried on in union workhouses. It is high time Sir James Graham set about having those scandalous transactions put an end to.—Your obe dient servant, A CLOSE OiiSERVER - Aug. 8, 1845. remarks : " The floor of the midship section of this vessel is flat com pared with either of the steam-frigates hitherto built by the Navy Office; yet we venture to predict, from the immense masses of timber unnecessarily employed in her construction, together with the great quantity of copper bolts and metal dump fastenings, she will, in consequence of the proper form not being preserved throughout, be just as bad as the Retribution and others which have preceded her. A very little investigation will make this quite evident. " The Avenger, to a draught of water of 17 feet even keel, has a displacement of 2,450 tons. " To'a light draught of water of 10 feet, which most pro bably will be the mean draught when launched, without ballast, the displacement will be about 1,120 tons. Now, as is evident, the difference, viz , 1,330 tons, between the light and load draught will be all the capacity she has for stores, equipment, engines, coals, &c.

SIR,—WLen the Felicidade was captured by the WaslN there being no slaves on beard, was she a legal prize and British vessel until condemned by the Mixed Commission Court at Sierra Leone? If the Felicidade was not an adjudged legal prize of the British Government, was a British naval o ffi c er j ustifiedn i using the Felicidade, a Braz Tian vessel, in capturing anotber Brazilian vessel (the Echo) even having slaves on board? If the Felicidade was still under the Brazilian Governmen t, the vessel not having been adjudged to be a legal prize whe n the crew of the Echo was placed on board , wa s not an y offence committed by any part of the Echo's crew , on board the Felicidade, liable to be adjudicated by the Brazilian Govere' merit, and not by a British court of justice , th e ca p ture of the Echo being suppesed to be illegal , not hav in g been made bl British officers from a British ship?—Yours, &c., D. Ilfracombe, Aug. 8. Difference 320 tons. Consequently the Avenger will be short of displacement 320 tons ; and taking 16 tons tOthe incir at her load line, will give an immersion of upwards of I foot 6 inches beyond the draught of water, as shown by drawing. What is the precise armament intended fur her through out we believe no one not in the secrets of the Navy Office knows. It is wisely preserved as a Protean quantity to veer and haul upon, so that the constructors may be committed to nothing; and if the ship should not happen to suit the arma ment, why then they will make, the armament suit the ship, as in the case of the Albion7s 68- pounders, except that indiscreetly that armament was promulgated at an early period. ; " If we may venture to judge from the size of the ports on the main deck, she cannot well have an armament greater than a 32-pounder, if so large—her ports being only 3 feet 3i inches long, by 2 feet 10 inches deep ; whilst a line-of-battle ship's lower deck- port is 3 feet 6 inches long, and 2 feet 11 inches deep. " The whole of the main deck is so loaded with cabins, that whatever armament be placed on this deck, it will he impos sible to work the guns without clearing them away, whilst the cabin-windows are so high, it will puzzle any one how to make a gun bear aft in the line' of the keel, now there are no after ports appropriated to this purpose. So much for this new specimen of the anti r sciep . ce,school, and so much for at j least 30,00. of the public money, together with another '3%000/. for the engines." • THE .121 - Nus STEAM-SLOOP.—This new steam-sloop, de signed by the Earl of Dundonald,• is alongside the sheer hulk at Chatham. On Saturday she proceeded on trial as far as_ Short Reach, at the rate of 3/ miles per hour ; but it appears she had some difficulty in getting back in the evening. Last week there were a great many pipes bursted on board, and the plumbers and braziers were at work night and day. The Janus was to have gone to the Nore on Wednesday morning; but after having her steam up for several hours, there remained little prospect of her moving. THE LATE FIRE AT CHATHAM ON BOARD THE SOUTH AMPTON FRICIATE.—On Monday last an account appeared in the daily papers of a fire on board the Southampton frigate, at Chatham, the particulars of which, as to the alarm it created, were very exaggerated..... A fire certainly did take place, but it was of such a trivial'nature,"and the alarm was so slight and transient, that it was not worthy.of record ; but as an incorrect statement did appear in . ptini,. it is only fair that the correct. version should be given. . The shipwrights of Chatham dock yard bad been opening the ship preparatory to the annual sur vey, and having ripped down a part of the lining of the after bread-room, , they left a quantity of chips there. The shipkeeper was ordered to clear it out, for which pur pose be went down with a candle and lantern, but whilst engaged, his attention was called by the bey to a signal made by the Poictiers, , ordinary guard-ship, which, it ap pears, it was the duty of the shipkeeper to answer, and he immediately proceeded on deck for that purpose, leaving the light in the bread-room. From some cause the lantern fell on one side, and the horn having been burned through the flames communicated to the chips on the floor and from , thence to the lining. 433e- -4 syntOrn:ron, board perceiving the smoke ascending, gave the lal(rrn, :aria". assistance being imme diately on the spot, it was extinguished in a very few minutes. It is-true the sentinel on the, wharf opposite the ship rang the alarm bell, at his post, which was the only bell sounded. Not a musket was fired; and, as for the Poictiers firing her guns, the idea is absurd, as it is well known that the few guns she has on board are merely to exercise the boys of the Ordinary, and are never discharged, not even on the most urgent occasions, as the ship, being close to the dock-yard, the firing of her guns would cause a great destruction of glass. The Calliope, 26, Captain Stanley, is lying in Plymouth Sound. The Adventure, transport, left Chatham, on Wednesday, for ,Devonport, with stores. The Tortoise, lighter, arrived at Devonport, from Pembroke, on Monday, with stores. CHATHAM, Ace. B..Thegßout, .j 8 guns, corvette, Com lithilder Hon.

The Teazer steam-frigate is ordered for building; her keel is alongside the slip from whence the Mutine brig was launched. The shipwrights are engaged laying the blocks for its reception, and the vessel will be commenced building in a few days. The Calypso, 20 guns, was put , out of dock and masted on the 4th inst., being 'nearly completed for the pendant. The Janus steam-sloop was taken into dock the same day to clean the copper on her bottom, and she was put out on the fith ; and the Active, 36 guns, taken in to be coppered. The Rover, 16 guns, in dock. The required repairs of this vessel are of so exiensive. a nal ure ,that the Admiralty have xordered her. to be taken to.,sleces., 'shipwrights are to be -hired for that purpose..

She was cast off from the sheer hulk about eleven o'clock A.M., yesterday, and by the aid of a high pressure of steam and canvass, managed to get down the river nearly as far as Sheerness, when she returned, and arrived at the sheer hulk at about four P.M. There is cer tainly a slight improvement in her movements, but still not ' I one-third of what is required. 4e, The THE CONDEMNED PIRATES AT EXETEE.- T Western Times says that on Wednesday a farther rE a P ite until the 25th November, for the pirate slavers left for eze, cil ;f tion at Exeter, was received by the Governor of the ge l LLOYD'S ShIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

As a record of news, notice,: and advertisements, of the inhabitants of Glasgow 100 Ye, ago, the work vi ill be a great curiosity, and, there cannot u, the least doubt, that it will be greatly prized by a ll lovers of ancient relics, and others desirous of perusing the records °i, their forefathers.—Extracted from the Liverpool M ercury ° August 8. Of CAUTION TO ADVERTISERS.—A novel species fraud has lately been discovered in connexion with scli' tisements, which only requires mention to put the public their guard against the system of victimization, whicl.l, tar as it has it present pine, appears to have produced the ample revenue for the gang of vagabonds concerned in io affair. The most successful part of this plan has been :0 , obtaining payment for advertisements supposed to be t f ie b serted in small weekly and monthly periodicals, but _ eg et ° 0 , periodicals have really no existence, the names of sa ne tial booksellers being given as the publishers to prevent e picion or inquiry. Of course persons advertising under St, circumstances have only themselves to blame for not et `d o citing proper caution in seeing that their advertiserner it appear before they pay the money, and a little experienc fa r ther perhaps, teach them wisdom. But the system extends fu j : to than this. The same parties have expressed their willingn e Tde, relieve their friends who have honoured them with orders °ease trouble and inconvenience of taking their regular advertis e r to the daily journals, stating that they are allowed a cone d s elf, of 2i per cent., which, if the advertiser were to go "',„eclt he would not get. It does not seem that they have done lova in ibis way at present, though the default has not arise° en their want of inclination, but from want the atronage' e ate cases where they have obtained such orders advertise:oo have never appeared, though they have charged and re c .. L e is the money for them. The receipts seen for sums paid e "' li cli• system of advertising bear the signatures of two or three I ,ny viduals evidently in disguised hands , and the bills ar e g en"' made out for amounts of between 21. and 31. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE, FRUIT, SZC. A very large quantity of cattle, fruit, and other descriptions o f provisions, .have again been brought to this country fro ; Holland and other parts of the continent within these f e^ days. The Dutch steam-ship Batavier, which arrived at the St. Katherine's Steam Wharf, from Rotterdam, on Wedoesi day afternoon, had on board the large nutaber of 7 4 b ead () 'oxen and c and 60 sheep, all of which were in excene l ; condition, and 'were landed and delivered with all p ossibie dispatch. This vessel' also brought 646 baskets of currin e t : l ; besides a large quantity of melons, poultry , yeas t, and et tet articles of Dutch produce and manufacture. The Gene' , Steam Navigation Company's vessel, Rainbow, which a_r„ rived at the St. Katharine's Steam Wharf , fro m Havre, ci°o', the following evening, had a large quantity of* plums and 41 5 besides a variety of other articles ; and the Company's * 61 7 ) :, the Tourist, from Calais, and the Earl of Liverpool, frorn,, , tend, on the same day, had also a large quantity o f poto t i l i o eggs, and butter, and other articles for consumption in go . country. It is remarkable to how extended a period the portation of currants are taking place from Holland, " o f which country the importation of that peculiar descriptiolloa, fruit appears to be chiefly confined, whereas the cher r y see having in a great measure ceased, the fruit now brought from fo r French ports consists of plums principally, unripe wain° a rs pickling, pears, &c. In these things the French season arP a e tio e to be considerably in advance of ours in the production articles.
