PROSPECTUS. This important line of railway will commence at a point on the 31anchester and Bolton Railway, between Bolton and Farnworth, running thence in a direct line through Worsley and Patricroft to a point on the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway, with which it will form a junction, to Cheadle, where it will unite with the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, by which ineaPs a direct railway communication will be opened with Macclesfield and the various lines of railway proposed lo terminate there. The great advantages to be derived from a communication be twee,,, Bolton and Altrincham, and via Cheadle, with Macclesfield, will at once be seen on reference to the map, not only as a feeder aid cliani:el communication between existing and projected lines, but also as supplying the link wanting in the chain of direct communica tion betWeee Bolton, Blackburn, and a very large extent of the po pulous manufacturing districts and towns of the central part of the county of Lancaster, with the Staffordshire Potteries, the great iron districts, EinninghaM, and the metropolis, and consequently the in termediate places in the lines of the various existing and projected railways between Manchester, Macclesfield, and the whole of the tiouthern portion of the kingdom. An Important feature in this undertaking is, that whilst it will, by gift ins of existing and projected lines, open up to the immense agricultaral and manufacturing population of Warwickshire, Staf ferdshire, and Cheshire, a direct communication with Southport, Blackpool, and the other watering-places situate on the coast of Lan cashire, it will likewise form a continuation of the proposed direct lines from Lonion (via Macclesfield) to Edinburgh and Glasgow, either by Fleetwood - up on-W y se, or by the Lancaster and ittarllsle lines. The saving of distance between. Macclesfield and Bolton being important, whilst ti:e great, but unavoidable delays which must be in Nteurred in passing airough the different termini in Manchester, will be obviated. Another important feature in this enterprise is, that it will not ma terially affect any existing or contemplated line, and that it will be able, by uniting Itself with them, and with other projected lines, and lines now in the course of formation, to increase their mutual traffic to a considerable extent, both in passengers anti goods ; and being the menus of establishing a principle of reciprocity, cannot in Any manner injure any existing interests. To the town of Bolton, and its neighbouring extensive coal fields, It is obvious this line will secure the most important advantages, by its conneion with existing lines, and others projected which will centre there. It need hardly be added, that with all these advan tages, a most important traffic for passengers and goods may be relied upon, independent of which, as the line itself presents no engineering difiLtulties, or other obstacles of importance, and will be executed at an expense far below the ordinary average, the most ample security 10 the capitalist is offered. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share brAders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be reserved in the Act to allow 41. per cent. lnteitist on all calls. A certain number of shares will be reserved for the landowners and °tilt's; having loch interests in the line, and who are friendly to the interests ‘7l' this company.

' A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected. The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water-power, and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee. The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, fir manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales ; the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Molton, Barnstaple, in the north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton, llminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Brid. port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber,.dry goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of communication with other lines of railroad. The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas sage; and more than compensate for the charges attending re-ship ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of Welsh coals, new in great demand in and about London for steam engines, steam-boats, and other purposei. The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring.tides of 350 1 1 tons burthen ; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp, Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, avid nu. merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax • and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth, sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to other railways. The harbour of Watcbet, at spring.tides, admits vessels of 200 tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily tad, with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other iron, and other articles ps s ia els tes b ' o elonging to the harbour lag with Liverpool. It has regularly a s n, and s t e t cattle, i h up e si e io p vye , i wo t ne i m ler b et e rv r a4 , e also a considetable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol, and employs therein several vessels regularly Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the increased wants of the community. The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity. The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime of the most celebrated description, both for water-works and ex terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast; and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills, paper mills, and clothing mills. The fbregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten sive goods traffic. It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this maasure require such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be made, a packet station. Ia the first place, it is obvious that the railway in actual progress from the Government Dock-yard at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Brie. tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland : Liverpool takes Dublin ;whilst Ilfracome (50 miles west of Watchet), and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular steam-packet passenger and goods traffic; and in the second place, all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable, cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be delusive. The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port of Ilfracombe and its packets. A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any park. It aflbrda great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con sideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that owner, Commissioner of Bridport Harbour John Hill, Esq., Fairfield-house, Lyme Regis, Dorset, merchant William Tucker, Esq., Coryton.park, near Axminster, Devon Thomas Hoskins, Esq., HeseThorp, Plucknett, near Crewkerne, Somerset Thomas Fox, Esq., Beaminster, Dorset, Commissioner of Bridport Harbour William Loveridge, Esq., Paradise.lodge, near Chard Charles Warre Lovtridge, Esq., Crewkerne, banker Benjamin Pearkes Gundry, Esq., Bridport, merohant William Trevelyan Cox, Esq., Cheddington.court, near Beaminster R.

The object of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail way for passengers, goods, and commercial, mining, and agricul. tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail way communication. it will receive their support. • The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourahle to the measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and Bridport, as well as the principal vial proprietors in South Wales, and all persona throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its merits, and earnestly desire it. Maniextensive landowners on the line, whose names do not appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them selves as friends to the measure. The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will be limited to the amount of -subscriptions, and interest at four per cent. will be paid on all calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

IN MONMOUTHSHIRE, near to USK and MONMOUTH. TWO capital FREEHOLD FARMS, together 274 ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND, let to responsible tenantsat 3241. a year. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is in-tructed to an• nounce for PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, Lon don, on THURSDAY, Nov. 6, at Twelve o'clock, in Two Lots, A VERY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY, pre. senting a most inviting opportunity for the investment of capital upon solid security ; indeed, it presents a refreshing contrast, and is one very much at variance with the overwhelming, although plausible schemes with which this country is at present afflicted. It comprises TWO CAPITAL FREEHOLD FARMS, TOGETHER 274 ACRES OF VERY SUPERIOR LAND, in the most picturesque and delightful part of the admired county of Monmouth, close to the MARKET -TOWNS OF USK AND MONMOUTH, and let to highly responsible tenants, at rents producing THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR POUNDS. As an investment this property is especially suited. The Farms are most eligibly situate, and the tenants unexceptionable. It shoPild seem that there is now in contemplation railways to con nect this part of the favoured county with all those through whose influence considerable increased value to the soil must be achieved ; and it necessarily follows that ere long A RENTAL APPROACHING FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS A.YEAR may be confidently expected. THE LANGEVIEW FARM, OF 202 ACRES of excellent arable, meadow, and pasture land, is within a mile of the town of Usk, with a substantial farm-house, and all neces sary buildings, in the occupation of Mrs. Jane Blower, at a clear yearly rent of 2441., and is nearly ALL TITHE FREE. _ _ THE MESSUAGE,FAIM, AND LANDS, CALLED RED HOUSE, together with ten:alents and lands belonging, called Pwll y Pwka, is situate in th e parisi cONT,IINING ABOUT 73 ACRES, of Langattock.vibon.Avel, within five miles of Monmouth, in the occupation of Mr. John Rose, at the ' , early rent of 801. Tl , O farms may be viewed on application to the tenants, and printed particulars had, fourteen days prior to the sale, at the prine.pal inns at Usk, 'Monmouth, Bristol, and Gloucester ; of A. Waddtngton, Esq., solicitor, at Usk; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. G eorge Robins's offices, Covent-garden. 7, he woollen trade of Gloucestershire has not been so 11: :risking for a number . of years as it has been vflate, An d is at Elie present time.—Brzsta Gazette. The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from Watchet tc Taunton, and thence bye and Beauchamp, and by Crewkern liminster to Chard, and b y populous 1 i n e a b r oe andt opulent, n f d th teaminster to Bridport harbour. A branch will proceed out o between Watchct and Taunton, directly Wiveliscombe. All these towns and their neighbourhoods are and many of them very much so, and the localit i e s fur their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous residet r em arkable At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the North g D en e t v r on Railway to Taunton, and also westward; at Taunton it will enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the Great Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line to Bridport Harbour. It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter about two miles west of Crewkerne. The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im portant object. To effect it, surveys were successively made for a ship canal by the late Mr. Rennie, Mr. Telford, and other scientific men, who concurred in the importance of such a work in a na tional point of view ; the design was matured, and in 1824 an Act of Parliament was passed ; and it stands recorded as the opinions of Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the canal would aflbrd a remuneration to the subscribers of 16 N, per cent. on a capital of 1,71'2,844/. The sum required for this work, being so much less than that for the Ship canal ; the increased demand of a greatly increased population, and the present vast commercial energies of the country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this railway at far less than half the charge upon which Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols formed their opinion. The intended line from Minebead to Bridgewater, will meet and cross this line near Watchet. No railway, either made; or being made, or projected, will serve the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve. The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort— Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and Linton, Minehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county town of Somersetshire, has always been the market and trading 1 town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its THE SUN, LONDON, S ATPRDAY EVEN*ING OCTOBER 11,. 1845 THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.

And yct the proneness to sacrifice the evidence of the facts to the condi tions of the theory continues to influence public men of the highest attainments in dealing with even some of the most important problems to be resolved in the arrange ment of capital and the conduct of trade. In the list of witnesses now lying before us, we see some names that must always command respect for their owners so long as the possession of vast wealth and influence, and enligh tened views of their application, can give them high and merited rank among their fellow-citizens. Nevertheless, it seems to us that we can show, on a future occasion, very re markable discrepancies between the effect of their own evi dence to given questions and the conclusions they announce themselves to have arrived at upon them. By far the most valuable feature in this Parliamentary paper is the evidence supplied to the Select Committee of 1818 by JOHN IRVINE, Esq., M.P. It is a perfect essay on " the distinctions to be taken between the theoretical and the practical operation of the laws of usury, and the probable results of their repeal." In many respects, though favourable to that repeal, this evi dence is prophetic of certain consequent inconveniences that have actually ensued. The single point to which we wish to direct the attention of our readers at present is this; that creditors, who have so generally exclaimed and petitioned against the alterations of late years effected in the law of imprisonment for debt, would have been much nearer the truth in ascribing the direct frauds practised upon them, or the scandalous improvidence of which their bankrupt debtors have been guilty, in nine out of ten of the very cases the same creditors have brought before the Legislature as exemplifying the evils of the changes introduced into the said law,—to the re peal of the usury laws in the manner, and under the conditions in which it has been effected by the Act of the last reign. To show that the repeal of these laws has acted adversely to creditors, we may refer, first, to the evidene of Mr. COOK. He states, among other " disastrous results" to which it had led, that he knows a case of a wine-mer chant who failed for 15,0001., his whole assets being 300/.; some money-lender having " accommodated him" with ad vances on certain special advantage secured to the lender, at an interest of from 20 to 30 per cent., " whereas if the party had failed months before, and had not been thus tempted to go on, there would have been a very fair dividend to his credi tors." Mr. G. J. GRAHAM, official assignee, says, "It is very common now for bankrupts to come before me and say that they have paid 6,7, 8,9, 10, or 12 per cent. for money. Some of them have even paid as much as 40/. ; owe, I believe, as much as 60 per cent." From the same witness and Mr. GLYN, we learn that estates are more likely to be exhausted under the new than under the old usury laws ; and that the Bankruptcy Court complains of the undue faci lity which the repeal of the latter affords to unreal trans actions. In a future paper we shall endeavour to show how remarkable a coincidence is to be traced between the ad missions of some of the most influential of the witnesses examined as to the causes which render, occasionally, money discounts, even by the Bank of England, on unimpeachable security, inadequate to the legitimate demands of the com mercial world, and the arguments of those who contend, with ourselves, that the laws which now regulate the currency are the true causes of those fearful occasional panics, and that constant depreciation of the wages for industrial labour, which are two of the most enormous evils that our social condition in this country is subject to. Madrid journals of the 3d inst. have been received, but they contain no intelligence of importance. A letter from Cadiz, dated the 28th of September, in the Castellano, says : " This evening ten brigands embarked in a boat, in order to surprise an English ship which was at the bar. The crew were fortunately on their guard. Not only were the brigands repulsed, but the English likewise pursued them to a place called Los Corrales, where the robbers landed, abandoning their boat." The Barcelona Foment° of the 3d inst. pub lishes an order of the Minister of War to the Captain- General of Catalonia, whereby all the corps of the army are prohibited from wearing beards. No business was done on the Madrid Bourse. The Paris Moniteur at last publishes the official dispatches detailing the late disastrous events in Algeria. They add no thing, however, to the particulars already published. Every exertion in the meantime is made by the French Govern ment to dispatch with the utmost expedition the additional 12,000 troops for Oran ; and so urgent is the crisis con sidered, that Marshal BUGEAUD had resolved, with the con currence of the Minister of War, to go direct to Algiers, without obeying the telegraphic dispatch summoning him to Paris. He was to quit Excedeuil on Tuesday for Marseilles, and sail on the 10th for Algiers. Marshal SOULT also, owing to his infirmities, had not been able to comply with the summons, and replied that the state of his health com pelled him to remain yet for some time in the south of France. The Journal des Debats, after stating that the Emperor of MOROCCO had done everything in his power, though without effect, to fulfil the treaty of Algiers, says :—" We have now only to deal with ABD-EL KADER. He is the enemy of Morocco as of France. To come up with him, ,to destroy his power, to deprive him of his last place of refuge—such is the end that we propose. This is proved by the decision come to by the Goverment. As to the treaty v, ith Morocco, we shall see whether it bears fruit. We are of opinion that it will singularly facilitate the tack that remains for us to accomplish in Africa, and which leaves us for the moment one only point—the destruction of ABD-EL-KADER." The Epoque, another Ministerial paper, writes in still stronger terms :—" Marshal BUGEAUD is to enter Morocco if ABD EL-KADER be still there, to act and fight there, and not quit that empire until he shall have ob tained complete satisfaction for the grievances France has such just reason to complain off." Louis PHILIPPE continues to take much exercise since his return to the capital. " The review which took place on Wednesday, though of considerable length," says one of the papers, " did not seem to fatigue him in the least—and in deed we learn from good authority that his MAJEsTv's health was never better. A considerable crowd occupied every available spot for witnessing the proceedings." The following are miscellaneous extracts : " Colonel Bet thier, who was killed lately by the Arabs in Algeria, was a great nephew of Marshal Berthier, Prince of Neufchatel and Wagram under the Empire. " An application was made on Wednesday to the Civil Tri bunal of the Seine by Count Leon, the reputed natural son of the Emperor Napoleon, to, compel the Countess of L—, his reputed mother, to grant him an alimentary pension of 6,000 francs a year. The counsel for 'the Countess demanded the pro. duction of the documents on which the Count founds his demand, viz., the registry of birth, &c., by which he can show that the Countess is really his mother. The case was postponed for a week, to give time for the production of documents. " The Minister of the Marine is stated to have sent dispatches to the maritime prefects, urging them to expedite as much as pos sible the fitting out of the ships destined for the station on the Western Coasts of Africa, and which are to rendezvous at Cadiz by December. " The &ingress of the German Customs Union, which has been sitting at Carisruhe since the commencement of August, is on the point of separating without coming to any decision. Prussia has maintained her liberal principles in commercial matters. Unani. mity of vowels required for the decisions of the Congress. " It appears by the journals of the south of France that some alarm has been felt there of a scarcity of corn, but that it has been removed by the arrival of several cargoes at Marseilles from Italy, and by the pbrchase of 450,000 hectolitres of corn at Odessa, for different French ports in the Mediterranean. " The Brussels journals announce another fall of 2f. per 100 kilos. of potatoes in the markets of that city, but state that fears are entertained that the cargoes of potatoes expected from Denmark will not keep good during the voyage. At Elsineur two cargoes which had been shipped for Belgium were thrown into the sea, in consequence of their being entirely spoiled by heating."

The occupier was in bed at the time, and it is supposed that while the servant girl was employed in lighting the kitchen fire a spark fell upon some shavings, which communicating to other corn bustib.e materials, soon act the whole in a blaze.

The formation of this Company has originated with gentlemen having extensive local interests, for the purpose of effecting direct railway communication between London and Hastings, using a por tion of the existing railways to complete the most direct line, as well as assist in extending railway accommodation in the south-eastern district, " and will be the only direct line under local management between London and Hastings." The line will be constructed for working either with atmospheric power or locomotive steam-engines, as may be proved to be most advantageous previous to the perma nent way being laid. It is also proposed to make a line of railway from Tunbridge Wells to Lewes and Brighton, by a junction with the coast line at Lewes, and thus open lines of communication with the populous towns in North Kent and the southern coast. It is farther contemplated to establish a branch to the town and port of Rye, or to connect the Direct Hastings line with the Hastings and Ashford coast line, for which an Act was obtained last session. To the inhabitants of Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Rochester, Chatham, Sheerness, Gravesend, &c. it will afford direct and speedy access to Hastings, Brighton, Eastbc:urne, Worthing, and the neigh bouring seaports, as well as the eastern and western parts of Sussex. To the inhabitants of Hastings and St. Leonard's the advantages to be derived from the formation of this line will be evident. Bring ing the Metropolis within a two hours' journey, it must of necessity greatly increase the already well-established reputation of those justly-celebrated watering-places, and bring to them an increased number of visitors, who are now deterred trnm residing there by rea son of the absence of railway accommodation. To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton the advantages are pro portionately great. Passing, as the proposed line will do, through a great agricultural district, it will give increased facilities for the transport of the produce of those districts. In 1806 that eminent engineer, the late Mr. John Rennie, pro jected a harbour and dock, at Hastings; and subsequently, AI r.Cub? tt, C.E., and Mr. Brooks, C.E., surveyed the coast, and projected har bours in the same situation ; there can be no doubt a considerable portion of continental traffic must pass from Hastings to the opposite ports on the French coast, the direct line between London and Paris being through Hastings. The existing trade and fishery of Hastings is ample to pay live per cent. on the coast of the harbour, pier, and dock, and the natural result of such accommodation opposite so many ports on the French coast, must be that of threefold increase. Strict attention to economy will be given in the expenditure of the capital, thereby guaranteeing to the public low charges for the con veyance of passengers and goods, and there can be no reasonable doubt, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the full rate of 10 per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch lines, or a reduction of f res. .„. In drawing attention to the merits of this undertaking it should be observed that the formation of a trunk line between the metropolis an c! I lastings, one of the most healthy and fashionable watering-places in 1 lie kingdom, which is increasing in estimation the more its valua ble r , sources are developed, in addition to the formation of a harbour, pie , . and dock—the great improvement in steam navigation—the est.L . ,lishment of railways between Paris and the ports on the French co , t opposite Hastings, " render this one of the most important, as wA !l asdirect lines of communication between London and Paris," as ref ronce to the map will clearly point out. 'am are no engineering difficulties ; and the lines are under vey, for the purpose of depositing plans, &c., previous to the en g session of Parliament. T!ie liability of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of thc r subscriptions, and in allotment of shares, a preference will be gh ..n to landowners on the respective lines ; and power will be se etred in the Act to allow 4 per cent. on paid-up capital previous to opening the lines. Prospectuses and plans of. the line may be had of the Solicitors, an ! of the Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, to wi..,in application for shares may be made in the following form : FORM OF APPLICATION.

The return of the revenue for the quarter ending 1845, which will be found in extenso in another column, may on the whole be considered satisfactory. The total amount of ordinary revenue for the quarter ending October 10, 1845, is 13,312,9081., for the year ending October 10, 1845, it is 48,774,5041., showing a decrease on the quarter of 560,973/. and on the year of 234,7391. Now, when we consider the number of articles on which the Custnns' duties and the Excise duties have been considerably reduced, or altogether removed (the glass duties for example), we certainly had no right to anticipate that the immediate de crease in the revenue would have been so small. The Cus toms' revenue for the quarter amounts to 4,848,36.31., for the year to 18,652,5521., showing a decrease on the quarter of 1,154,4921., and on the year of 1,590,953/. The Excise re venue for the quarter amounts to 3,955,1061., and for the year to 12,069,2151., showing a decrease on the quarter of 5,7841. only, and, notwithstanding the reduction or removal of many Excise imports, an increase on the year of 109,2731. This is extremely satisfactory, as indi cating the general prosperity of the country, inasmuch as it proves the increased consumption of those articles which are the luxuries of life among the poorer classes of the com munity. It proves that the working classes have a greater command of money than they have had for some time past. The revenue for Stamps for the quarter amounts to 1,780,1754 for the year to 6,961,3704 showing an increase on the quer. ter of 114,4871., and on the year of 427,985/. There is a decrease on the quarter in the Property-tax of 134,828/.,and on the year of 31,344/., the total amount of the property-tax received for the quarter 'being 1,823,883/., and on the year 5,127,1661. This decrease. may, perhaps, in some measure be accounted for by the returns which have been made to persons in the receipt of fixed incomes under 150/., for whose incomes the Property-tax had, in the first instance, been deducted until they could make out their claims to ex emption. We are rejoiced to find that the Post-office re venue goes on steadily increasing. For the quarter it amounts to 209,0004 for the year to 688,000/., showing an increase on the quarter of 9,0004 and on the year of 16,000/. The amount received for the quarter from taxes is 201,279/., for the year 4,228,2811, showing a decrease on the quarter of 160/., and an increase on theyear of 23,4261. The Crown Lands, and Miscellaneous both show an increase, but neither of these sources of revenue can be considered as indicating anything as to the state of the country; and besides, in the Miscellaneous is reckoned a sum of 450,00C1., the produce of Sycee silver received from China. The total income for the quarter amounts to 13,811,380/., for the year to 50,506,8831., showing a decrease on the year of 234,7394 and on the quarter of 560,973/. ; and considering the great reductions which have taken place, we certainly should have had no reason to complain had there been a considerably larger decrease in the revenue. The total charge for the quarter has been 9,005,7194 leaving a surplus of 4,815,955/. on the quarter. The surplus on the corresponding quarter of last year was 4,595,635/., so that there is an increase of the surplus tl is quarter as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. On the whole, we repeat, the return of the quarter's Revenue may be considered as satisfactory. We never had a doubt but that the laws relating to usury, such as they existed previously to the 4th WiemAll IV., which was passed for the purpose of modifying them, espe cially in the case of the Bank promissory -notes, required very careful and, perhaps, extensive revision. But we have just as little hesitation in saying, that the shape in which the modifying enactments now on the statute-book are drawn, has not only proved a failure in reference to the evils which those enactments were intended to remedy, but has 4rtevously aggravated their number, and enhanced their operation. An important paper has just been issued from the Parliamentary Vote-office, entitled " Report from the Select Committee of the House of Lords, appointed (in Session 1841,) to inquire into the effect of th e alterations made in the laws regulating the interest on money ; with the minutes of evidence, &c." This report was brought from the Lords, on the motion of Mr. MILNER GIB SON, on the 2d August last. Appended to the report is a re print of the " Report of the Select Committee of the Commons in 1818, appointed to consider of the effects of the laws which regulate or restrain the interest of money," and attached to this is:the evidence given by witnesses of vast experience, legal and monetary, and the highest characters : such as the late Mr. Ricardo, the late Sir Samuel Romilly, the late Mr. N. M. Rothschild, Messrs. Frere, Warner Phipps, S. Gurney, the present Lord Chancellor Stigden, &c. It may well he imagined that the evidence of such witnesses, added to that of the evidence given in 1841 by Messrs. Norman, Jones Loyd, George Carr Glyn, Sir John Lubbock, Bart., Messrs. J. W. Freshfield, jun., Joseph May nard, Mr. G. J. Graham (official assignee), &c., has thrown very considerable light on the objects assigned for the in quiries of such committees. We have not yet found time to .ligest any great portion of the multifarious, but very impor tant, contents cf this document; and shall, therefore, limit our present remarks to one point only, out of the numerous suljects of extreme interest embraced in the scope of the evidence taken. We play venture to observe, however, en oassant, that the Act of Wremam IV., repealing usury laws on promissory notes, but leaving them still applicable to transactions connected with mortgage advances upon landed d roperty, &c., however sound in principle, was tarred, to a considerable extent, by the injudicious in terference of some members of the Government of that day, and by the unqualified extent to which some other in fluential advocates cf the measure desired to push, in prac tical application, doctrines which were at that moment purely theoretical and untried. Men of business have learned, long since, that propositions connected with the operation of the exchanges, the adjustment of the currency, THE ECLAIR STEAM-SLOOP . It is with feelings of great regret that we announce the death of Mr. Sidney Bernard, the assistant.surgeon, who volunteered his services on board the Eclair steam-sloop at Madeira, and up to the 6th, with Mr. Charles Coffey, the assistant-surgeon of the Growler, was in unceasing attendance on the unfortunate sufferers of this ill-fated vessel. Mr. Bernard died on board the Eclair, at Stand. gate Creek, on Thursday morning at half-past six, after three days illness. It would appear that both that noble philanthropist and Mr. Coffey kept up very well whilst the sick depended on them alone, and they had the excitement of responsibility, and it was only when other assistance was at hand that they y ielded to that fate to which broken rest, assiduous watchings, a rid constant wearine ss had predisposed their human frames, in spite of their indomitable spirit. The body of Mr. Bernard was examined previously to interment, and presented the usual light yellow appearances which are remarkable in cases of death from the fever in t he West Indies. Four medical officers have died on board the Eclair. Surgeons, Mr. Maconochy, of the Eclair, and Dr. M'Clure, late of the Actaeon ; and assistant-sur geons, Mr. Hurtman , of the Eclair, and Mr. Bernard. The latter , and Lieut. Isaacson is pro_ was an assistant- surgeon of 1838, and belonged to the Caledonia, 120, at Devonport at the commencement of the year. Mr. Coffey, y. The pilot who was Saunders, who had also been Portsmouth, d w i‘s l e r l r. l ecsaouv attacked, is not out of danger, but he has favourably passed the • crisis. Mr. Campbell, the clerk, and the two seamen are greasingwt a e k e a n r e ognravteirfiyegratified boardf favourably hu l er:a o rb r y s i n s doing well. The above were removed on Wednesday from the Eclair to the Worcester, 510-gun frigate (not Chichester), pro vided by the Admiralty, and every soul was to have left the steam sloop on Thursday, on which day no additional cases were reported. On Wednesday one of the quarantine men was reported to have caught the fever. The quarantine restrictions are now somewhat relaxed, and the surgeon, Dr. Stewart, is allowed to go from ene ship to the other without the quarantine boat; but it is ordered that his boat shall show the yellow lag with a black ball in the centre. It is but justice to the medical profession generally to state that many gentlemen, other than those belonging to the Royal Navy, have volunteered their services; at the same time we must state also that the most absurd propositions have been made with respect to the steam-sloop and the unfortunate crew, to get rid of the fever, and to cure both effectually. Tli RIVER PLATE. REJECTION OF L THE INTERVENTI FRIDAY EVENING. Rio advices to the 22d of August, received by the Amelie, ar: rived in the Mersey, report from Buenos Ayres the rejection, by General Roses, of the ultimatum of the Allied Powers. The Ar gentine fleet had therefore been seized, and immediate steps adopted by the British and French Ministers to drive from the Banda Oriental the troops under Oribe. Brazil had declined to interfere. We annex an official document, issued by the British Charge d'Affaires at Monte Video:— " MONTE VIDEO, Auo. 1, 1845. " I have been informed by Rear. Admiral Inglefield, command ing her Britannic Majesty's naval force on the east coast of South America, that, in consequence of the refusal of General Oribe to comply with the intimation which has been made to him by the British and French Admirals, requiring him to suspend hostilities, a vigorous blockade will be established of all the ports of the Oriental Republics which are or may be occupied by the troops in the service of the Argentine Government ; and that the blockade of the port of the Buceo has been this day established. Neutral vessels now in the port of the Bucco will, however, be permitted to leave that port until the 12th inst. " A. TURNER." The following was posted in the Exchange newsroom : " The English and French naval forces have taken possession of the Argentine squadron off Monte Video. They had also landed 1,5C0 sailors and marines there, and blockaded the port of !Wu°, in consequence of Oribe refusing to retire from Monte Video. By the barque Amelie, Captain Dadson, from Rio Janeiro, sailed August 20d."—Times. WINDSOR ELECTION.—(From a Correspondent.) — I have it from authority, that Sir John De Beauvoir will be the Government candidate; and also that his position as Chairman of one or two important railway companies induces him to seek:the honour of a seat in the Commons' House, his industry and perseverance as a committeeman being well known in the City, and duly acknowledged. WINDSOR ELECTION. The address of canoeCo!onl Reid, of the '2d Life Guards, now quartered at Windsor, s the second candidate in the field for the r epresentation of the borough, in consequence of Mr. Ramsbottom's decease, was issued on Thursday morning. It is openly stated that the colonel comes forward under the auspices of the Government, and with the support of what is termed ' 4 the Castle interest." l'raccis Egerton intends to commence the 911 rebuilding of Bridgwater-house, which wa s some time since razed to the ground, early in the ensuing year. The original designs for the new mansion are by the Hon.

Another attempt was made in the afternoon, when the pa rt y were met by Mr. Ward's land steward and six men, prep are d to dispute the right. The surveyor again retired. and afterwards w aited on Mr. Ward, hoping to induce that gentleman to allow him to take the levels, &c,, as he had been stated not to be opposed to a railway through his lands, and the first five miles must be through them ; but he was again unsuccessful. Mr. W. declared it to be his opinion that a railway was not required in the island, there could be no traffic, and it was opposed by almost the entire of the landed proprietors of the island. They had reckoned on Mr. W. not opposing th, project, but he now declared he would to the utmost of his power, it being uncalled for. This week 45 men have arrived from Man. chester, and are posted on the different roads to note down the traffic of the island by day and night—not a keg of foreign spirits even is to be allowed to pass unreported. Grt.orge HudSoll, Esq., M.P., has purchased Newhy -Park, one of the beautiful scats of the Earl De Grey.
