John Halcomb, Esq., Hungerford and Marlborough John Edwards Hayward, Esq., Devizes John Frenfield, Esq., Chipping Sodbury BANKERS. Messrs. Hankey and Co., -London Messrs. Tanner and Pinckney, Hungerford and Caine The Wilts and Dorset Banking Co., Marlborough The North Wilts Banking Co., Chippenham South Wales, abounding in natural harbours and mineral pro ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its manufactures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great Britain. Its connexion with London has become of such paramount im portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication that can possibly be established. This is the main object of the pro posed undertaking. This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham, where it will again join the Great Western Railway : thus giving to the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no railway) a direct communication with London • and also with Bath, Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales. From Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury, and proceed to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh (about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed. From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth shire side of the river It will proceed for another half mile over the river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway, near to Hunger Pill. This last half mile will of itself effect a saving in distance between London and South Wales of about four mlles. By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line from London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Counties of England ; but mere especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South %Vales, and Ireland. The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed line: — Between London and Bath, via Hungerford, the pro posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great Western Railway ••• • • • • ..... •••••• • .. • • •••• about 7 Miles Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway.... ..... ............... Between London and the whole of South Wales, via the Great Western Railway, the proposed tunnel under the Severn at Hock Crib, and the South Wales Railway to Hunger Pill.. Between London and the whole of South Wales, via the Great Western, and the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railways ...... ............... about 23 miles. These great savings in distance are by no means the principal features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an im portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with passengers. Moreover passengers to and from South Wales will be enabled to travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at the Aust or Old Passage ; thus avoiding on the one hand the well known dangers, inconveniences, delays, and difficulties of the open ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company; and, on the other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by the louth Wales Railway Company, which (even if capable of con struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident. Reference to a Map will clearly demonstrate that the great stream of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South Wales to Milford Haven and Fishguard Harbour. The establishment of Valentia, as the chief out-port to the Canadas and the United States, will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto contemplated. But supposing Valentia should not become that out port, there can be no doubt that Milford Haven, from its extreme western position and natural advantages, must. Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci lities which the line will, afford to the unequalled iron works of South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swansea and Neath must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with safety, economy, and rapidity by rail, rather than with hazard and delay by sea. A new and most important market will be opened to the owners of collieries in South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129 tidies of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood, inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered in Lon don from the Welsh collieries at about 15s. per ton. The principal advantages of direct railway communication between important termini are now too universally admitted both by Parlia ment and the public to need argument. Many important direct lines have been aireadyfavourably received; but when the savings in distance —the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic— the giving of railway accommodation to a large district—and the establishment of the most direct and complete communication be tween London and Bath, Bristol, and South Wales are recollected — and especially that these important benefits can be obtained by the formation of a line fifty-two miles only in length—it is confidently as serted that the proposed railway holds out advantages superior to any hitherto projected, and will at the same time prove, if not the most, one of the most profitable Investments ever offered to the public.

Morning .. 33 minutes after 11 I Evening .. 0 minutes after 0, tensive -consequences than any other notice which the Tractarian innovation has yet elicited. Let the Church be wise in time. This is a "sign" of the days on which we have fallen not to be mistaken. It is for her or against her ; she must not imagine that she can afford to be indifferent to it. The Church cannot exist—and this is an impressive fact—except in virtue of her Protestantism. But her minis ters have too long tampered and compromised with the pre tensions and practices of Popery under the disguise of Puseyism—(a disguise so flimsy and transparent that she will be adjudged by all the other professions of Chris tendom absolutely inexcusable for having been deceived by it)—not to have created a just degree of apprehension throughout the whole Protestant world as to her fidelity to the great doctrines affirmed at the Reformation. The Church of England has no right to complain if her loyalty to the cause in the van of which she had moved for three centuries be thus suspected. She is like all individuals who temporise with cardinal truths. The attempt to bend these,so as to ac commodate them to external influences, or the pressure oft' e passing exigency, impeaches with the rest of mankind, in all time to come, her professions, however solemnly or circumstantially asseverated, of unshaken attach ment to them. Her priests and deacons have not been the only keepers of her fold who have parleyed with the wolf of Romanism without, and half opened the door for its admission. Some of the prelates, and other dignitaries of the Establishment, fascinated by its specious advances, would doubtless have betrayed their charge but for others, their inferiors, who more vigilantly watched, and more lustily ex claimed against the stealthy intruder. It is in vain to deny that the Protestant hierarchy, as a body, are too deeply enamoured of the outward pomp, ceremonial, and showy vanities of those forms to which the Roman hierarchy attach so much essential value. " Puseyism" has accurately hit this weakness, and but two successfully tempted this foible. The Bishop of LONDON is evidently disposed to look, from his prelatical throne, with entire complacency on stone altars, multiplied genuflexions, white surplices in pulpits, massive tapers, and mysterious obeisances at the altar-table. But for the indignation excited in the public mind by his haughty, and overweening, and even insolent deportment towards the laity within his diocese, In the famous Ware and Enfield, and other correspondences arising out of Puseyite inno vation, this overbearing Churchman would have been emulat- ing by this time the usurpations on private judgment of his predecessor, BON ER, and the persecuting intolerance of LAUD. He has all the amiability of one in the discharge of his ecclesiastical functions—all the ambition of the other for the aggrandisement of his order-and of himself: Nor is CHARLES JAMES the only Right Reverend Father in the Esta blishment smitten with this unprimitive spirit of worldly advancement. There be many others, as their acts and writings have shown. The grand evil of all this is, that these tendencies seem to be the natural consecr ences or con comitant, at any rate, of our to largely endowed hierarchi cal institution. Under these circumstances we rejoice to see that a manly, intelligible, and uncompromising stand for Protestantism—its spirit, its doctrines, its principles, its glorious inheritance of civil and religious freedom—is about to be made by Christian professions of all denominations in connexion with it against the encroachments of that proselytising enterprise still inhe rent in the ancient but corrupted successor of the primitive Christian Church, which is not Protestant in any shape or of any kind at all. Since the Church, holding between Augsburg and Rome, the theology of the Vatican and the doctrine of LUTHER, has neglected to convene •an assembly of her ministers from all quarters to enter their solemn pro _ test against the insidious heresy which has crept into "her holy places," we heartily rejoice that the Protestant Dis senters from some part of her ritual, and some lessons of her teaching, are about to take upon themselves the noble duty of vindicating the integrity and purity of that Protestantism which is common to them and to our Church. At the annual dinner of the East Suffolk Agricultural Association, which took place at Halseworth oo Thursday, two short speeches were made which may ba regarded as signs of the times. Lord STBADBROKE, President of the Association, was in the chair, and spoke strongly in favour of granting leases to tenants on three grounds :—Because they enable and encourage the tenant to invest his capital, and give him due and proper time to realise remuneration fur that investment. They are also advantageous to the land lord, for they give him confidence that his land will be better cultivated, and they insure better and more constant employment for the poor than they could otherwise insure. These arguments in favour of leases were received, by about 250 farmers, with loud cheers. All persons acquainted with farming knew that to such a result must the question come, as soon as strong political feeling had subsided, and landlords preferred the benefit of their tenants, and also their own real interests, to the deceitful hopes inspired by victories at elections. But this omen, favourable as it is, is nothing when compared with the view .taken of the corn-laws by a good- Tory, and an honest representative of public feeling, Cap tain Rous, the Member for Westminster. His brief speech, in fact, leaves no doubt that he is at heart a corn-law repealer, and that he considers the time has arrived when Sir ROBERT PEEL =St reduce or abolish altogether the duty on corn. "It was a well known fact," said he, " that the inhabitants of this country were annually increased to the ex tent of 400,000, and it was also well known that Oa resources of the country, though not developed to the limit which they might be, never could be adequate to supply the wants of a people multiplying so rapidly. What then, he would ask, would be the case if this state of things existed forty years hence ? The idea was a dreadful one to contemplate, and he was at a loss to conceive how any Minister of this country could lay his head on his pillow, and regard such a prospect without a feeling of horror. This country presented an anomaly to the prac tice adopted in all other countries similarly situated. He would not contrast it with any European state; he would compare the practice to .the Celestial Empire, and he was quite sure the result would prove that the Government of China had far surpassed that of Great Britain in the measures they had taken to ameliorate the condition of the bulk of the people. What was the practice adopted in China with respect to the laws that regulated the importa tion of food ? Now it must be recollected in that country there was a population of not less than 300,000,000 souls. To supply with food this vast population, the Government of China not only threw open the ports for the admission of foreign •vessels conveying rice and other articles of consumption, but also relieved them from the necessity of paying harbour dues or other:ordinary charges." These are noble sentiments, expressed, too, by a representa tive of the landed interest, and cheered by an assembly of landowners and tenants. We have no occasion to add one word to give them effect. They are plain to the most com mon understanding, and will do more for the League than ten great meetings at Covent-garden. Madrid journals of the sth inst. have been received, but they bring no particulars of the disturbance announced in a telegraphic dispatch, which took place on the evening of that day. Some of them state that the Junta of Commerce, with the Constitutional Alcade at its head, had been to the Mi nister of Finance, and presented to him a memorial on the new system of taxation, 'which, as it is known, was the cause of the riots on the 19th ult. The Minister promised to consider attentively the observations it made, and which bore principally on the necessity of dividing the taxes into classes, and making a radical reform in the tariff of the cus toms. The Juntas of Commerce of Valencia and Cadiz have also sent representations to the Government against M. Mores system of levying the taxes. Only one operation in the Three per Cents. was quoted on the Bourse, to the amount of 400,000 reals, the price being the same as on the previous day, 31 3 4 at 60 days. The Paris papers announce the arrival of Marshal BUGEAUD on Saturday night, at Cette, under a salute of cannon. He was to leave next morning it was understood for Soultberg, the seat of Marshal SOU LT. A general belief prevailed that owing to the misunderstanding between BUGEAUD and the Ministry, relative to the system of government in Algeria, a successor to the hero of Isly would speedily be appointed. Indeed, his address to a deputation of merchants and other civilians, who waited upon him before his departure from Algiers, implies that he would probably not return again to the country. " You appear to think," said he, " that my presence is still necessary here, and that it would be too difficult to replace me. Allow me, however, to say that you are in error. In the army are there not abundance of generals formed in the school of ex perience, and already worthy to succeed me 2" He after wards adds, " I am identified with you, and when I shall be no longer at the head of your Government, you may always reckon the among the number of your citizens." On this subject the Courrier Francais says :—" There exists between the Minister of War and the Governor-General plenty of subjects of difference, and these difficulties are far from being smoothed down. In the first rank is the question of Ka bylia, and the profession of faith by Marshal BUGEAUD, in his reply to the inhabitants of Algiers, is not of a nature to diminish the causes of misunderstanding between the two Marshals. Whilst the Government of the mother country, and the whole people reject the idea of bringing the district of Kabylia under subjection by force, M. BUGEAUD proclaims that w h en h e re t urns to Algiers his pr i n cipal care shall be to carry the war t o th e extremities of Algeria. The disaccord is most marked, and who will yield ? It is not probable that Marshal SOULT, with the whole nation at hi s back, will capitulat e t o th e D u k e D'IsLY, though flanked by M. LICuTLIN and his 300 signa tures. The only possible solution of the question, therefore, is the definitive recal of the Governor-Gencral. It is not alone the war in Kabylia that Marshal BUGEAUD clings to; he is, perhaps, even more anxious about his absurd plans of colonisation. He thinks that civil institutions weaken states, and he is so infatuated with his own ideas, that the facts passing under his eyes are just as if they did not take place. His illusions are so great that he declares without hesitation that in no place has the civil po pulation dreaded military rule. If such be the case, how is it that the work of colonisation is so little advanced?" Accounts from Marseilles of the Bth state that the evolutionary fleet under the command of Admiral PAR SEVAL- DECHENES had been met by the Phdnician steamer about fifty leagues from the French coast, steering to the southward. A letter from Toulon, of the same date says There is every reason now to believe, from the result of the investi gations of the authorities, that the late fire at the arsenal was entirely accidsntar Orders had been received from Paris by the Prefect of the Bouches du Rhon to prepare spartalcnta fe; Ain GARIA4 and hie mite, who are to re- main for three months in Marseilles.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 6,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation, with a steady market. Shares were very active, and a large business was done. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has just concluded a contract with the British Government for the conveyance of the mails on the west coast between Valparaiso and Panama. From the latter place they will cross the Isthmus to Chagres, and thence be brought to this country by the West India Royal Mail Company. Great advantages will re sult to the mercantile public by the accelerated transmission of correspondence between the west coast and this country, and the time that will be saved in the remittance of trea sure which has hitherto come by the circuitous route to Cape Horn. We congratulate the Pacific Steam Navigation Company on the advantages which they will reap in the shape of a large increase of revenue. This, added to the important exclusive privileges conceded to the company by the South American Government, should make this one of the most flourishing concerns connected with steam navi gation ; and to the praise of the Liverpool people be it said, they have stood by the concern in the days of mismanage ment, when anything but a satisfactory result was probable. We shall expect soon to hear of a communication by this route to our Australian and New Zealand colonies—a most important consideration. There are some late accounts from Buenos Ayres this morning. There appears to have been a slight difference between the British commander on the station and the authorities, but not much was thought of it. There is not any commercial news of importance in the letters that have come to hand by the present opportunity. The only quotations of Consols for Money to-day have been 98% %, and 98 3 4 for the Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills is steady, and indeed rather firm, at 465. to 48s. Bank Stock, which is at 213% for the Account, has been sold at 213%. In the Foreign Market the value of Brazilian Bonds is up to 90. Mexicans are a shade in advance, at 33 for Money. The Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 38%, and the Belgian Four per Cents. at per cent. above par. The Great Western Railway Shares have been subjected to many variations to-day. They opened at 162, fell to 155, and have rallied to 160. The Half and the Fifth Shares are but a trifle lower than yesterday. An advance has been submitted to in the Birmingham and Gloucester, in the Bos ton, Stamford, and Birmingham, in the Grand Union, in the Leicester and Bedford, and in the Londonderry and Cole raine. The Midlands commenced at 166%, they are now 169; and the York and North Midlands are a shade better. Th'e French Lines are scarcely so firm as yesterday. Busi ness on the whole in Shares is rather animated. British Iron Scrip (101. paid) has been sold at 141. 103. per share. The corrected prices for the day of all other shares are an nexed.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for, shares in the line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative connexion will be formed between Southampton and Man chester. After most mature deliberation, they have resolved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme diate carrying out a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage, sus in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gation of both lines under one management. Besides forming a direct line of communication to the great manufacturing towns in the north, it will also make a complete line of railway between Southampton and Salisbury to all parts of thn North and North and South Wales. In the allotment of shares, preferencelwill be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth shares will also have a pre ference. Applications may be made in the following form to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, or through the principal brokers in London and the country.

Ten years ago—prior to the appearance of the Oxford Tracts and the " Avatar" of the self-destructive principle of the Church, in the debizt of Dr. PUSHY, or Mr. W. GLADSTONE as a Polemist—we should have regarded the announcement, which we published yesterday under the head of " Confer ence of Evangelical Ministers," as offering matter of deep in terest, undoubtedly, to the highly respectable and extensive community of Protestant Dissenters, but little calculated to excite any sensation of solicitude beyond their own circle. At the present day we look upon it, and we look beyond it, with very different feelings. If the Manchester Guardian be rightly informed, the approaching assemblage in London of "Evan gelical Christians of different churches and countries . . . fur the purpose of associating and concentrating the strength of an enlightened Protestantism against the encroachments of Popery and Puseyism, and to promote the interests of a Scriptural Christiauity," is calculated to produce more ex- 105:15.12,13.35T3 !

LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY. (Sittings at Guildhall.) (15cfore the RECORDER, LORD MATOR, and Aldermen.) The grand jury having been sworn, the ItEcoaDza shortly ad dressed them. Thomas Rawlinson, Henry Poreas, 17, William Coffee, 16, and Henry Key, 16, were Indicted for unlawfully assaulting Henry Thompson, on the sth of September instant, in the West Kent Union. The defendants all pleaded lot Guilty. Mr. PRENDERGAST stated the case, tom which it appeared that the defendants had been inmates of the West London Union, and the complainant was the muter. It would appear that one of the rules of the union was, that all the inmates who were in good health should rise at six o'clock in the morning, and be ready for breakfast at about twenty minutes past six o'clock. The defendants would not get up, although they were told that the breakfast would be put away. They went down a little before seven, when they in sisted on having their meal. Rawlinson said if they did not they would have a row. Rawlinson then struck the complainant a vio lent blow on the mouth with hiS fist. Porcas threw a large tin can, which struck him on the temple, inflicting a wound, and struck him afterwards on the shoulder such a violent blow that he had been disabled ever since. Key and Coffee also took some cans and struck him several times. There were at least three dozen mugs and cans broken by being flung at the complainant, who had suffered most grievously from bodily injuries. The board of guardians had con sidered it a case which they were bound to take before the magis trates, who directed the present prosecution. Witnesses were then called, who fully bore out the statement. The defendants respectively denied the extent of the violence used, and said they had themselves been violently assaulted by the master and yard keeper. All the defendants were found Guilty. The RECORDER made inquiries and found that the whole of the prisoners had been in prison six or seven times for various offences. Alderman FAREBROTLIER—About food—they say they only have four ounces of bread. Mr. Thompson said they had 12 ounces a day, with seven ounces of meat three days a week, soup three days, and pudding four days, besides other things. The RECORDER said that the prisoners had been found guilty of a most violent and outrageous assault. It was a case in which the magistrates had acted very properly in sending it to a public Court, where defence, if any, might be substantiated; the Court felt bound to mark its sense of the case, and sentenced Itawlinson to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to enter into re cognizance in 401. to keep the peace for three years ; Porcas three months ; and Core* and Key, two months' imprisonment each. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A crowd of young women (about ten in number) were charged with being disorderly and creating a disturbance in the Strand. Policeman E 55 said that he found the prisoners laughing, shouting, and dancing, in the Strand, at about one o'clock this morning. lie told thou to be quiet, and to go away, but they only replied by using obscene language, and telling him if he took one of them he must take them all. Ile l ook one of them, the most disorderly, in custody, when the others followed him to the station. The girl he took to the station gave her name as Eliza Clark. The levity of the prisoners while in the dock was most disgraceful. All the efforts of the _officer acting as gaoler to maintain order were unavailing. Policeman F 142 said that one of the prisoners, who gave her name as Elizabeth Davis, had said at the station that she had been in service in Tottenham-court-road, and that she had robbed her master and ran away. _ _ . _ . . . . — The inspector said that a shopkeeper in Tottenham-court-road had been robbed by a servant, whose name was Jane Davis. The prisoner said that that was her real name. . _ . Mr. TICYFOIID desired that this prisoner should be put back, in order .that inquiries might be made by the police concerning the robbery. The prisoners declined making any defence at all. Mr. TWYFOS.D said that as the conduct of the prisoner Clark ap peared to have been the most disorderly, he should sentence her to — Here the worthy magistrate was interrupted by a general exclama tion of " Oh no, Sir, she wasn't ; we were all alike, and she was no worse than the rest of us." Mr. TWTFORD said, that as none of them appeared to have been particularly criminal, and as in the case of each this was admitted to be the first offence, he should let them off this time, reminding them; however, that they were known at the office, and that this would weigh against them on any future occasion. They were ac cordingly discharged, except the prisoner DAVIS, who was detained upon the other charge. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Henry Scrivener, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged with assaulting police-constable .No. 37, of the E division, in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that about half-past ono o'clock this morn ing he saw tht defendant looking about Great Portland-street, Port land-place, and on requesting, him to " move on" he refused, alleging that he lived in the neighbourhood. Witness was at length obliged to take him into custody, on which he struck him a violent blow on the mouth, severely cutting his lip. The defendant said that he lived in the neighbourhood, and con ceived that he had a right to walk about the public streets as long as ho pleased without the pollee interfering with him. He. solemnly denied striking the policeman : he had only put out his hand to keep him off on his seizing him (the defendant) by the collar, which he did in a very rough and insulting manner. Mr. linunwicK said it must go forth to the public that the police were not to be resisted in the execution of their duty, they had a discretionary power in the execution of it, and any misconduct on their part the Police Commissioners and the magistrates had ample power to punish. It could not be tolerated that a party, because he chose to imagine that a police-constable was acting wrong, was di rectly to take the law in his own hands and knock the officer down. The defendant was then ordered to pay a fine of 20s. or ten days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK-(THIS DAYO John Williams, a respectable looking lad, was charged before of a r. Cottingham with stealing a silver snuff-box from the person gentleman unknown, near the Town-hall, in the Borough. A policeman stated that he was standing in front of the hustings h at te Town-hall while the Member for the Borough was addressing the electors, when he saw the prisomer busily engaged iu " diving" into the pockets of several ,gentlemen. He watched him, and saw Ihim abstract a silver snuff-box from the pocket of a gentleman standing near the 110 Pole beer -shop. lie seized the prisoner with the box in his hand, but the geticman refused to attend at the sta tion-house to make the charge. The policeman was asked whether the prisoner was known, and the reply was, that he was several times summarily convicted. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said he should remand the prisoner until Mon day, and if the owner of the snuff-boa could be found he should commit him. Samuel Steer, another young thief, was silk handkerchief near the same spot. charged with stealing a . . - The prisoner was observed to take a silk handkerchief out of Mr. Bendor's pocket. The prisoner was seized on the spot, and several other silk handkerchiefs were found in his possession. The prisoner was summarily convicted, and committed for a month. several other pickpockets were charged with similar offences, and committed for a mouth each. Thomas Wilson, managing clerk in a factory at Whitechapel, was charged with intoxication. The defendant had been carousing at the conclusion of the elec tion, and finding, when he got out in the air, that he was unable to walk, he s.it d »vu on the step of a door, where he fell asleep, and when he awoke he found that he had been robbed of four 5/. notes. The MkGISTAATE said that the defendant had suffered such a severe loss that he should indict no punishment, but recommended him in future to be more cautious, and refrain from getting drunk. The reporters for the press who followed in the Queen's route to Germany are in ecstacies at the hospitality of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, who furnished a house specially for their ac commodation, supplied them with carriages, opera boxes, servants, a splendid table, and ail other requisites. RAILWAY THE POTATO DISEASE. The following letter is copied from the Bristol Mercury of Sept. 6 :—; " attention has been given to the disease which has, • shown itself so extensively amongst the growing potatoes. I tind, iu almost every instance, that the epidermis of the stalk below the sur face of the ground, is more or less in a state of decay, often disin tegrated, and completely rotten ; the leaves and branches accord. with the state of that part of the stalk below the ground. The tuber, beneath the outer skin, is first spotted brown (like a bruised apple) : these spots extend and penetrate towards the centre, quite changing the nature of the potato. Those near the surface are most injured ; in some cases the lowest on the root are not at all affected, while the upper ones are useless. I should therefore expect that the longer the crop remains in the land, the greater the Injury will be. It seems, from the microscopic appearances, that the starch escapes injury for a long time after the skin and cellular parts are gone; and as the whole of the nutritive powers of the potato reside in the starch, I shoularecommend that wherever the disease has shown itself to any extent the crop should be dug whether ripe or not, and the starch ex tracted by the following simple process : " After ;washing the roots, let them be rasped fine and thrown into a large tub or other vessel ; pour a considerable quantity of water, and well agitate and rub the pulp with the hands ; all the starch or fecula will, from its great weight, fall to the bottom, while the skin and fibrous matter will be carried away by the water. Wash the starch with one or two more waters, allowing it to fall after each washing ; spread it upon cloths in a warm room to dry--in this way about 201 b. or 211bs. will be obtained from every 1001bs. of potatoes, and it contains as much nourishment as the original roots ; it will keep any length of time, and might be used with flour to make bread, pies, puddings, &c., as well as farinaceous spoon-meat. " This is much -better than throwing away the diseased roots, and. will furnish food for_tens of thousands who might otherwise want it. " WILLIAM HERAPATII." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sit,—The free use of potatoes being inadvisable, disease having destroyed so much of the crop, I have adopted rice as a substitute, and I find it most palateable and nutritious. It should be simply dressed by throwing it into boiling water, boiled for half an hour, and them strained ; serve it up instead of potatoes, and add gravy, pepper, and salt, according to taste. These few remarks may draw attention to an article which, though generally used only for puddings in England, is the most important article of daily food to a great portion of the world.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, A HOUSEKEEPER September 12, 1845 C. - BENDIGO AND CAUNT.-A full report of this battle, and all the particulars connected therewith, aro given to the extent of five of the Bell's Life folio columns.

ACCIDENT 9T GREENWICH PlER.—Last night Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the St. George, Holten-street, Watdour. street, Soho, on the body of Jane Eedinore, aged sixty-four. -Oa Sunday last, about two o'clock, deceased and her husband started. from llungerford-bridge to Greenwich, which place they were about leaving in the evening, when deceased, in stepping from the pier into the boat, missed her footing and fell into the water. She waa extricated in about two minutes, and conveyed on shore to the Rea Lion, where she was placed in bed. On the following afternoon sl.a was brought to town, when she appeared very ill. On Tuesday morning It was suggested that a medical man should be called in, t which she objected, and, rapidly sinking, died the same day at teat o'clock. A post I;zortein . eiarnination proved that death was tha result of a diseased heart, no doubt accelerated by the excitement consequent on Immersion in the water. Verdict—" That the de- ceased died of disease of the heart, accelerated by falling into Ilia water." FATAL EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESS.—Yesterday' morning, between two and three o'clock, a man named Arthur Wil mit, and his wife Mary, came home to their residence in Charles- street, Drury-lane, in a state of intoxication. Wilmit in endeavour ing to carry his wife up stairs, who is a very heavy woman, slipped, and both of them falling down two flights of very steep stairs, were. picked up in a state of insensibility. Medical assistance was pro . . cured, when it was ascertained that Wilmit's right arm was braen, and his wife's skull severely fractured. No hopes are entertained of the woman's recovery. THE CROPS IN LANCASHIRIL—The gathering of the crops has made great progress in South Lancashire during the present week. The oats In general are carried, and the Wheat I; cut, and nearly ready for carrying. The disease amongst the potato crops has shown itself to some extent both in Lancashire and. Cheshire, but hitherto it is not very serious. As far as we can learn. the Southport and Rufford district, from which Manchester receives large supplies by canal, has escaped.—Leeds Mercury. MAYNOOTIT COLLEGE.—The only improvement at present contemplated and in progress, are the general painting and whitening of windows, doors, halls, &c., and the enlargement of tho refectory and chapel of that portion of the establishment occupied by the junior students. Tho Concursus, or public competition for the various vacant professors' chairs, commenced in the Great Hall of the College on Tuesday, the 9th inst. These chairs are—firstly, a, _ _ Fourth Theology Professorship, created under the enlarged grant ; secondly, the Cliair of Logic, Metaphysics, and Ethics, vacated by the elevation of Dr. Whitehead to the Vice-Presidency; and, thirdly, the Chair of Humanity, void by the appointment of Dr. Russell to the newly-created Professorship of Ecclesiastical History. The =di- dates who have already declared themselves are, the Rev. nomad Furlong, of the diocese of Feme (he entered tha college in 1809, and, atter a very distinguished course, was Junior Dean, and successively' Professor of Humanity and Rhetoric and Belles Lettres)—tha Rev. John M'Evily, of the Archdiocese of Tuam (a distinguished student of Maynooth), at present Professor in St. Jarlath's College, Tuam—the Rey. John Guthrie (also an Alumnus of May. nooth), at present curate of Ennistymon, Diocese of Kilfenora—the Rev. Daniel M`Gettigan, of the Diocese of Raphoe (after some years in Mayuooth, he proceeded to Rome, where he was much distin— guished), formerly Professor of the Irish College at Paris, and at present curate to his uncle, the Bishop of Raphoe—the Rev. Mr. M`Gargan, of the Diocese of Meath (a Maynooth student), at present Professor of Philosophy in the Irish College, Paris ; the Rev. Messrs. 11`Quade (Kilmore), M`Carthy (Kerry), and M`Mahon (Clogher), at present students on the Dunboyne Establishment, and the Rev. Mr. Behan, of the Diocese of Meath, who has just completed the ordinary course of the College. It Is generally believed, that from respect to his long standing, profound learning, and exalted piety, no one will compete with Dr. Furlong for the Chair of Theology ; but a very animated struggle is likely to take place amongst the seven juvenile competitors for time two other vacant Chairs The Concursus 11111 close on Friday, the 12th inst., and the successful candidates will ba . _ declared, In all probability, on next day.—Dublin Paper. IMPORTANT RAILWAY AMALGAMATIONS. - ; learn from undoubted authority that the Great Grimsby, the Shef . field and Lincolnshire, and the East Lincolnshire Railways, of Thursday last amalgamated at par with the Sheffield and Mambas . ter Railway ; the last-mentioned railway paying 5 per cent. on silt calls upon the three railways until they are made, which will be within two years.—Leeds Mercury. FOREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—The dif ferent steam-ships which have arrived in the river from Rotterdain during the last three or four days have brought their usual cargoes of live cattle, fruit, and different sorts d provisions, and those from the Belgian and French ports the usual quantities of edibles for con sumption in the metropolis, the whole of which have arrived in ex ' eellent condition, been found on landing to be of very good quality. and delivered immediately to their destinations. The Dutch steam ship Batavia, which arrived in tke St. Katharine steam-whiff in the middle of the day on Wednesday, after the quickest passage she has made during the season, from Rotterdam, brought 70 head of horned cattle and 70 sheep, besides 340 packages of plums and other descriptions of fruit, a quantity of yeast, melons, and other kinds of Dutch produce. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Earl of Liverpool, from Ostend, on the same day, brought a large quantity of live poultry, eggs, butter, &c. The same Company's ship, William Joliffe, which arrived at the Brunswick-wharf, Blackwall, on the following day front Rotterdam, brought 9 oxen, 4 cows, 18 calves, and 64 sheep, a quan tity of yeast, and other Dutch produce. This vessel did not bring any fruit with her on this occasion. The Tourist; from Calais, on the same day had a quantity of poultry and other articles ; and the Rainbow, from Havre, also brought in a quantity of fruit, eggs, met other French produce. It will be seen that the Rotterdam vessel, in the latter instance, did not bring any fruit, and the Havre vessel brought a very entail quantity in comparison with that which has been imported from that quarter for several weeks past, so that we may fairly conclude that the importation of stone fruit, pears, &c.. from that and other French ports has in a great measure'ceased fo the season. Notwithstanding the quantity of foreign cattle brought' over to this country from Holland and other places, it is notorion4 that all descriptions and qualities of buteher's meat is dearer in alt parts of the town than it has been known for a considerable time ; but although there are various opinions expressed as to the cause, we believe that the real and correct one is not generally understood. The fact is, that the weather last winner was ge severe, and there was such a scarcity in consequence of every kind of provender for cattle generally, that the proprietors of them found it politic to seed then; to market, and to slaughter rather than keep them on their hands, with the probability of their becoming impoverished and less valu able from the want of nourishing food. This caused a perfect glut of meat in the markets about the time, and the necessary re-action. scarcity, is now for the present taking its place. Another undoubted fact is, that the population of the country, particularly in tile mid. land counties and manufacturing districts, has gradually increased. and the supply of animal food is unequal to the demand, which even the extensive importation from the Continent is unable entirely is counteract, thus rendering it necessary, as it would appear, on the part of the owners of the scarce stock to advance their prices ac cordingly. This is the opinion of one well able to express it on such matters, and which will in a measure account for the present high price of meat in every district of the metropolis in particular, and. generally throughout the country. Some time must elapse, with continuation of favourable weather for grazing, &c., before any ines portant reduction may be reasonably expected. FALL FROM A SCAFFOLD.—Yesterday a serious accident occurred to a man named John Macdonald, aged 43, a brick layer. It appears that he was engaged on a scaffold erected in front of some new houses at Sydenham, and, whilst walking along the outer board, he missed his footing, and fell with fearful violence to the ground. He was picked up quite insensible, and carried to the nearest surgeon's, who, after a few minutes, ordered his removal to the hos pital, whither he was taken in a cart. Upon examination he was found to have received a fracture of the right leg, and dislocation of the collar-bone. He is going on favourably. FIRES.—This morning, a tobacconist's shop in. Albert-terrace, City-road, caught fire about one o'clock, and with itS contents, was destroyed.—The stock of Mr. Aaron; a Sheffield dealer. James-street, Covent-garden, was also destroyed by tire this morning. The house is insured in the Royal Exchange. The guardians of the Greenwich Poor-law Union on Thursday resolved to send a deputation to the Poor-law Come missioners, to urge on them the inexpediency of forming an asylum in that district, and to request them to rescind their order relative to Greenwich. Sir Hugh Munro has given liberty to his tenantry to shoot all kinds of game, on condition that they guard his estat e against poachers.—Scotch Paper. We would caution against giving the blighted potatoes to pigs without first paring off the dead parts. Bottomless is never wholesome, and the rottenness of disease cannot fall to be pernicious. Such food must check the growth and fattening of the animal, and injure the quality of its flesh.—Devizes Gazelle. STEAM FOR THE MILLION.--Some enterprising' speculators, jealous of the success of the fourpenny fleet, have started an experimental squadron of twopenny have been advertised as steam for the mitionbustteasampeernsn, which y boats have since commenced running, we presume that " steam for th billion" will now be the cry of the company. If the mania for this kind of navigation increases, we don't know where the names are to be found for the various vessels that are being daily launched on the Battersea billows, to be tossed on the waves of Westminster, and find a haven at Hungcrford. We have already had the flower beds exhausted to provide titles for the Daisy, the Primrose, the Pink, and the Daffydowndilly; but we are told the Polyanthus is now upon the stocks, and the keel of the Cr2cus is already laid down in the Fulham Dockyards. The social relations have been used up by the iron boats, which rejoice in the titles of Bridegrooms, Brides, Bachelors, Fathers and Sons of the Thames; and the various shades of Moonlight, Daylight,. and Twilight, have been applied to other craft belonging tdo thistle same Company.

It would rious receiver ed sofin : stlmenangnoeord appear that a pack of swindlers have for some time past been purs suing a very successful game amongst the pawnbrokers in the country by pledging metal watches, chains, seals, and other article s of a very superior manufacture (strongly plated with gold Ly the, galvanic process) for the pure metal. The game having become completely "blown," the parties were left with the remainder of their stock, which they were unable to get rid of, upon which thee anticipated realising upwards of 8001., but which intrinsically wet a not worth 1501. To get rid of them the following ruse was le sorted to. The goods were packed up and sent per mail to London. On their arrival one of the party called at thecoach.office to which they were directed, and possessed himself of them. On the sue. ceeding day another of the party called, and hearing they were gone, pretended they had been stolen. Bills were printed, de. scribing the property, and offering a reward for their recovery. The party who had possession of them then called upon the receiver, and showing him a bill, led him to suppose he had stolen them, and by those means induced him to give nearly 4001. for the goods. The receiver kept them some time, and then gave them to a watch. maker to alter their appearance, when, to his utter dismay, he was told that he had been duped out of above,2ool. SALMON FISHING.—The fishing in the Ness durirg the past week was excellent, with the rod in particular. One -at the best anglers in the north informs us that our river has yielded better sport this season than it has done for five years previous. notwithstanding its extreme unproductiveness during the summer. Another highly-accomplished angler, Mr. Lowe, has within the last five weeks caught forty-two salman with the rod in the rival Ness. The price of salmon here is Bd. to lod. per lb., grilse 61., and trout 4d.—lnverness Courier.
