pRELIMINARY NOTICE.—The Directors of the Bedford and London and Birmingham Railway 'jompany give notice, that a Prospectus will be issued next week of a Company to form an EXTENSION LINE of RAILWAY, to proceed from BEDFORD to join the LONDON and BIR MINGHAM RAILWAY at WEEDON, passing through the town of Northampton. This line, in connexion with others from Bedford to Harwich, ^.lready before the public, under powerful auspices, will form an essential link in the communication between Harwich and the Eastern Counties, and both the manufacturing districts and the ports of the western and southern coasts of England. Full particulars will be given in the prospectus. Oct. 3, 1845. 'BUXTON, MACCLESFIELD, STOCKPORT, AND WARRINGTON RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. This Railway will commence at Parkside, communicating with the Liverpool and Manchester and North Union Railways, and proceed by Warrington, so as to unite with the line about to be constructed by the Grand Junction Company from Huyton on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to Warrington, and with the lines projected from Warrington to Birkenhead and Liverpool; it will then proceed up the valley of the river Bollin to Altrincham. Here a line will branch off to Stockport. It will continue up Abe Bollin Valley to Wilmslow and Macclesfield, connect itself with the various lines of railway there, and proceed thence to Buxton, where it will join the line to Ambergate and Nottingham on the one hand, and to Sheffield and Great Grimsby on the other. This Railway has a two.fold object in view. First, to connect the towns of Macclesfield and Stockport, and all the various rail.. wa)s Aida centre in those two places, with the ports of Liver. pool, Birkenhead, Fleetwood, and the north of England ; and; .e-rindly, to form a connecting link in the chain of railways from th^se districts with Nottingham and the central portions of Eng. d. As to the first object, this line will provide . the shortest route from be large, populous, and rapidly increasing towns and vicinities of '`ockport and Macclesfield, and will be a great accommodation to e manufacturers and inhabitants, for their foreign commodities ad raw produce, as well as their manufactures. In the second place, this line will form an important integral link in the line of railway communication v , ith the central districts of England. By its connexion ,ith the railway which proceeds south.east from Buxton, it connects itself with Derby and Nottingham, and by its i inetion with another railway at or near Buxton, running north east, it offers a ready communication with Sheffield, Lincolnshire, and the port of Great Grimsby. Its length will be about 36 miles. it is brought out by the inhabitants and landowners of the district through which it passes ; and the Provisional Committee has strong reason to anticipate the cordial co-operation of the railways, with which it forms a junction. A large proportion of the:shares will be appropriated to the land owners and those locally interested. A Prospectus will be published in a few days, with the names of Provisional Committee, Engineers, Bankers, &c. The shares are intended to be 201. shares, on which 21. 10s. will be paid on allot. men t. In the mean time, applications for shares may be addressed to Messrs. Coppock and Woollam, solicitors, Stockport; to Mr. Joseph Fernyhough, stock and share-broker, St. Ann's-square, and to Messrs. Hall and Rawson, Tib.street, Manchester. And further particulars may be learnt by application to the Pro. visional Committee, at their offices, No. 1 , Bank-street, St. Ann's. square, Manchester; Messrs. Coppock and Woollam, Town Clerk's Office, Stockport, the Solicitors to the Provisional Committee ; to Mr. Thos. Porter, Spring-gardens, Manchester ; to Mr. Wm.

PARI lAMENTARY AGENT—Thomas Baker, Esq., Spring-gardens. The attention of the public and of the Civic authorities of this great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press, has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous and .iiatoft daily ocdTsrr!ng accidents on the River Thames. With a view to abate, if not altogether remove an evil of enormously growing nagnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present project iv oft before the public. _ _ Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers of colliers and their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their station, still no efficient remedy has hitherto been proposed. It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has been sAccted in every way adapted for the object contemplated; and which not only combines facilities in no ordinary degree, for coal and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the tide, at a distance far re moved trim the Pool (about th ree m il es b e l ow W oo l w i c h), h u t a l so a t a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which the various prpduce may be transmitted within half an hour Into the very heart of the Cif}'. is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the rig er, tour and a halt miles below Blackwall, called Gallion's Reach, and thence to carry a rai , lw to ay th f e ot r ir as i t n e lles long, , through East Ham, Pliistow, and West Hain Eastern sßailway at Strat fi‘rd, where it will join the Northern an r i l ' o Railway, and form a centrr.l point from which goods may be transmitted to the various pait9, of the country which those. railways traverse, and to London. The spot at which the dock and wo r k s w ill b e constructed has been .elected as being a part of the river where, at the lowest state of the I;de, there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress rd egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts will demonstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge heir cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme i late vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is generally working), ,ihnost before they could have even reached their ordinary station lit Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it is m2nifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the , 0.-niers of these vessels; and, by materially decreasing the costs, wmull enable them to supply the consumer at a much less rate than at present. It is intended also to. erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long, the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other passing to and fro. The economy of tine thus effected will 1 - o• very considerable; for, by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore .litch end the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes), !, , arly three-quarters of an hour will be saved over every other mode eonveyanec. its moreover to be remarked, that from this spot Gravesend can be re;iched to forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from _Fins , tutry to Gravesend, by this route, would be about one hour. As the 'Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other veat trmik lines, by means of the Northern and Southern Connecting line just projected, it may be justly said that the Steam-packet ll'horf now proposed will be the only metropolitan continental ter- By the construction of this railway, with its very important adjunct, coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition will be made to the Eastern Counties revenue, by calling into existence a traffic kvilich, under any other circumstances, could not be created ; thereby :evetoping to P.m proprietors of that extensive line, that its cepa litics have 'nitherto lain dormant, and only required the necessary tollsivi' CO the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national depOt Pro"..ucc from all parts of the globe to be disseminated through the 'nr:, , rotts and increasing extensions of the parent line. rhe carriage of coal alone would add no Insignificant sum to the nviierto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, when it is con- acretl that more stl'an two-and-a-half millions of tons are annually aported into the port of London, which amount would be greatly :treased by means of the facility of railway transmission thus It may be proper to remark that it would be difficult to find, so noar the metropolis, four miles course in every sense so eligible for a so free from obstruction, and so cheap of construction, that C ll 4 coal traffic of itself would yield an ample return for the outlay. -. 2ros act:lll3es, plans, and forms of application for shares, may be had to the solicitors, 31, Moorgate-street, London, and of Mr. D.

He said nothing of the vast—the countless numbers of quarters of wheat, that could be import( d from Tamboff, nor expressed any fear that the British . farmer could not protect himself. The burden of his speech was—" Help yourselves—improve your system of agriculture, and think nothing done while ought re mains to do." At one or two of the meetings Captain Rous's remarks on the necessity of providing food for the annually increasing population, were alluded to somewhat in jest, but Lord STANLEY viewed the case in a different light, he admitted the fact, and showed also how the food could be found. After strongly impressing upon both landlords and tenants the necessity of improving agri culture by all the applications of science, he thus con cluded :—" The country had a right to expect it from them ; and they must remember, that, as year after year passed by, they had an increase of three hun dred thousand mouths to feed beyond the population of the preceding year, and that on their exertions the sup ply for these 300,000 mouths mainly depended. He be lieved himself, -not that the capacities of the soil were infinite, but that the productive capacities of the soil were infinitely larger than most people imagined ; and he believed that it was not only capable of providing for the existing population, but with the application of science, of providing for a much larger and increas ing population." We are grieved to find by the advises brought from Buenos Ayres, by the Baronet and by the Martha Jane, under the dates of the 12th and 26th of July last re spectively, that we had been prealture in relying on the accounts we had published of the great naval force, under the British flag in the River Plate, on which Mr. OUSELEY could rely to enforce, if necessary, the terms of the ultimatum offered by him, conjointly with the re • presentative of France, to Roses. By these accounts; it would seem, that even the small squadron which had been present but a few days before in the river, had, a few days afterwards, been reduced. We have reason to believe, therefore, that we have but one frigate, instead of two, and that a small one (the Curacoa) ; but one war steamer, a sloop, and two gun brigs, for our whole flotilla in those waters. Now since, in contemplating the present aspect of our rela tions with the Argentine Republic, and the character of its President-Dictator, we feel something like a pre sentiment that affairs may take a turn which will place us in a state either of diplomatic isolation, or of peculiar and aggravated injury (it being doubtful, on the one hand, how far the more imposing and available force of the French may lead to earlier and to separate terms of concession to them, and uncertain, on the other, to what excesses the brutal obstinacy of ROSAS may push his well-known animosity to the English residents under his jurisdiction)--on this account, we say, this disparity of armament is, on every ground of political expe diency, most unfortunate. Without particularising the grounds on which it would be easy to make this fact apparent, we may just indicate one or two considera tions of obvious force, and, unhappily, no extreme proba bility, that may demonstrate the serious degree in which the honour of our flag and the interests of our country men stand to be affected by this strange oversight or neglect on the part of our own Government. In all cases where, from the obscure origin and subsequent excesses of their chief officers and magistrates, or their own re cent establishment, or their remoteness from the great centres of political and social civilisation, violence and spoliation are to be apprehended at the hands of new states by the subjects of older and long-established powers settled within their territories, and subject to their jurisdiction, the most substantial protection for these latter individuals consists in the moral character of their native countries. That moral charac ter is found to exercise a restraining influence on petty republics and potentates, who would never be acted upon by any considerations of international law, or civil rights, or the faith of nations, under the fierce excitement of their sudden animosities and lawless pretensions. It is just during the dangerous interval which elapses between the determination formed to embark on a career of outrage against defenceless strangers within their power, and the incipient reflection for which the opportunity is furnished by the brief season .that must elapse before their execution, that this influence operates with weak but oppressive governments to abstain from or modify their outrages. But in the states of that which was formerly Spanish South America, all the world acts under mere impulses and blind excitements. Their whole history is that of a long convulsion. Their birth, their existence, their decay, their reproduction, their federations have all been presaged, accompanied, and indicated by the throes of revolutionary agony. With such states it is more important, therefore, than even with the settled establishments of the Old World, to maintain at its highest point and in the most uninterrupted operation the:moral influence and authority of the British name. Now, unhappily, the conduct of our former ministers in these parts, Mr. MANDEVILLE, the predeces sor of Mr. GORE OUSELEY, has been onelof such absurd vacillation, of such lamentable infirmity of pur. pose, and tardiness of action—his pledges to our own countrymen have been so lamentably compromised, his negotiations with the Argentine and other republics have been such unmitigated failures, that the temperature of this British influence on the government of Roses had already sunk below zero when Mr. GORE OUSELEY entered upon his functions. To reinstate that influence, to raise it to that degree of healthful action which our Government ought to have felt it of so much interest to restore, his remonstrances should always have been urged with the silent eloquence of a powerful squadron to back them ; the eloquence of a passive " present" or active " future." But to set about bringing Roses to his senses, and our fellow-subjects under the inviolability of the protection which our own flag has hitherto proudly guaranteed to them all over the globe, by the proposition of terms to which the overwhelming superiority of the French squadron in the Plate must be taken to lend almost all the success which may ultithately attend them, does appear to us a most indefeasible imprudence, not to say a most palpable neglect of duty, in our Government, a deplorable viola tion of the plainest principles of our European as well as our American policy. It is no time to assume airs of lofty and chivalrous confidence, or to deal in a spirit of such unbounded liberality and confidence with an un principled and sanguinary adventurer like Roses as absolutely to discard from our negotiations all the sus picions that his past career has not merely generated but has confirmed beyond the possibility of doubt ; when our friendly relations with the Govern ment of the United States on the eastern shores of America are so seriously jeopardised by her grasping but inadmissible pretensions to the finest territories on the western coasts of the same continent, and when even the hostility of the feeble empire of Brazil, in case of war, might address itself with some effect to the annoyance or impediment of our operations up the La Plata. Besides, we aro paying, at all times, the penalty of national supremacy and pre-eminent power, in having for the most effective of our present allies the bravest and most formidable of our former enemies. The recollections of the defeats they have sustained from us in times past are but too easily excited by reckless spirits and designing demagogues among them into hopes of our present embroilment and future triumphs over us. The fact constitutes at once the delicacy and the peril cf our magnificent external position. Our march s till i s, an d we b el i eve is destined t p o ro b sp e er f i o t r y maanndymany ages, grandeures a onward a nd power. one, iin domestic i es t t c s over the smouldering memories of those mighty combi nations we battled with in a destructive war of half a century, and broke down and trampled in the dust. The soil of Europe, of Asia, of Africa, of America, is still glowing with the volcanic elements that we dissipated rather than extinguished ; and our destined progress must yet be— per ignes Suppositos cineri doloso." An unprincipled, but n o t uns ki lful, leader, like ROSAS confident in the natural strength o f t h e country and the capital over which he presides, may have deluded himself, (reasoning upon what would b e th e motives of his own ' conduct) into the belief that to see us foiled in our efforts to vindicate the rights and property, the lives and the freedom of British and other European subjects within his jurisdiction, would not be unpleasing to the French Minister or to the officer in command of the French squadron ; and he may even, acting on some such conclusion in his own mina, calculate on neutralising the active cooperation of that force with our own i n en forcing satisfaction and reparation. We can feel no doubt as to the ultimate result of the signal lesson which would be read to his presumption and credulity by the good faith of France, and the determined intrepidity of our own sailors and marines, whether assisted or not by those of the French squadron. But such a pr( possession on his part could only prolong and aggravate the evils, the bloodshed, and the sacrifice of a hopeless challenge of British authority and power, which more sagacity in the councils of our Government at home, more energy and forethought in the dispositions of our Admiralty, and a betterselection of diplomatic agents, would, months, and even years ago, have either obiiated or signally punished. By the Levant mail, we have accounts from Constan- tinople to the 17th, Alexandria to the 19th, and Athens to the 20th of September. It was generally believed at Constantinople that a second battle had been fought between the Russians and Circassians, in which the fern:ter were defeated. The particulars are thus stated by the correspondent of a Contemporary, but they require confirmation:— " Schamil, the gallant and active leader of the Circassians, unexpectedly attacked the Russians in their camp, and after a short but very bloody struggle, Count Woronzoff was forced again to retreat, in order to reach a more favourable position. This he appears to have effected, but in the re treat he lost an immense number of men. The number of men killed is not exactly known, but it may be judged from the fact that 180 offigers have perished, among whom were one general officer, two of Count Woronzoff's aides-de-camp, and an aide-de-camp of General Gluck. The Circassians also got possession of four pieces of artillery, and the greater por tion of the Russian stores and ammunition. The Circassians, after this victory committed great excesses. They ravaged the country, destroyed the villages, and carried off a great number of the inhabitants to the mountains as prisoners. Count Woronzoff reached Tiflis on the 3d of September with the shattered remains of his army. Another correspondent says : " We can get no distinct details from the Circassians of the late Russian campaign, which has secured to Count Wo ronzoff the title of Prince. All I hear is, that besides the three generals, whose death in battle the Russians them selves acknowledge, they have lost eighty officers of the first families of the empire. There are people here who estimate their whole loss, between killed, wounded, and sick, at the high figure of 25,000 men. This is posgble, for the ltussians cannot stand that climate, which is extremely variable." A letter from Alexandria of the 19th says : " The Viceroy has been a little indisposed for some days back, but he is now quite recovered. His departure for Cairo will, no doubt, take place at the end of the Ramadan. The marriage of his daughter will be celebrated in that capital with Kiamil Paella. Great preparations are being made for this ceremony. Several European ladies have been invited by the Princess Nasly-llaneum, the eldest daughter of the Viceroy, to proceed to Cairo and be present at the ,celebra tion of the marriage. Considerable purchases of jewels and diamonds have been made. Nothing is spoken of but these brilliant nuptials. Mr. Waghorn has returned flom his journey to the Red Sea. It appears that he has not given up his plan of having the mails sent by Trieste, and he declares that he can make the journey from this city to London by that route in nine days, being three days shorter than by Marseilles. He will leave this place in the course of next month in an Austrian steamer, which is expected from Trieste, and he calculates that he shall be able to make the distance in 51 days, and that from Trieste to London by Cologne and Ostead it will be the affair of only 3i days." The intellgence from Madrid is to the 26th of Sep tember. A report prevailed that the QUEEN, owing to the state of her health, will, in a short time, proceed to Seville, where she will pass the winter. It appears from letters dated Barcelona the 26th and 27th, that more executions have taken place at that unfortunate and discontented city. One of these letters of the 26th says :—" One of the banditti who attacked the diligence between Barcelona and Saragossa, some time since, on his way to the place of execution announced to the au thorities that he was ready to give information of an important nature, upon which he was respited. The consequence was, that on the information of this man, upwards of 40 persons were arrested on the charge of being members of an organised band of robbers. The whole were brought before the military tribunal, for here the civil authority is entirely superseded, and 13 have been condemned to death, and are to be shot to-morrow morning." A letter of the 27th states, that 12 of the party, all young men below 21 years of age, were shot on the morning of that day on the glacis of the citadel. It appears they had fled from the conscription, and been compelled by want to become robbers. No business was done on the Madrid Bourse. The late elections in France, and especially the return of a Liberal for Douai, by the aid of the Legitimatist voters, are adverted to by the Government journals, while those of the Opposition, strangely enough, con tinue to exult in a victory obtained by such a disgraceful coalition. The Journal des Debate, after stating that during these elections the Left has carried only one place, and that the Ministry, since the general election of 1842, have gained four votes in the Chamber, says :—" Let the journals of M. TUIERS and M. BARROT now congratulate themselves on their success ! Yes, this election of Douai is a grave check for us and cur cause ! a check of which we by no means wish to diminish the importance. The Ministerial question is here exceedingly secondary. A vote the less will not prevent the majority from being the majority. We do not fear M. ClioQuE very much, an 1 M. GUIZOT has had to do with more formidable adversaries. But what is grave, and still more grave for the future than for the present, is the success of an impudent system of tac tics—this example of political immorality—which goes beyond all that the cynicism of parties has, up to the present time, exhibited. It is not necessary to be any great prophet to predict that this system will fall back some day or other on the heads of M. THEIRS and M. 0. BARROT, who are now delighted at having employed it; and every one will comprehend that the example which they have just given would have, as its last con sequence, to render the Government of the majorities impossible! As to the thirty-five Legitimatist votes, we conceive still more their satisfaction. What dishnnoura and falsifies the representative government ought not to cause them much pain. Their principle is all the better for it. Thirty-five Legitimatist votes in a city like Douai is very little ! Whether they firm an alliance with the Republicans, with the Socialists, or with Messrs. TRIERS and 0. BARROT, that object will always be to be revenged on the Revolution, and to punish France for the liberty which she has taken in choosing a Government of her own taste. When the Legitimatists vote with the Left every one knows what they mean by that. It is as if they had it cried in the streets and public throughfares that the Left were senseless men, and that the Govern ment of July cannot perish except at the hands of that party. The part which the Legitimatists play is not, per haps, either very noble or very patriotic, but, in fine, it must be acknowledged they owe the Revolution nothing but their hatred. The shameful share of the matter, shameful without excuse, is that of the Opposition. In the:election of Douai the Legitimatists sold the Opposi tion nothing but their votes ; the Opposition sold its principles !" The same journal, after quoting a letter of the 30th ult., from Dunkirk, stating that the project of forming a port at Adinkirk was openly abandoned two months ago, observes that the good sense of the public did not wait for this abandonment to see the absurdity of such a de sign. "It was perfectly understood," says the Debuts, " that England never could have suggested it, and that if this power had wished to possess a fortified post on the Belgian shore, it could not have thought of construct ing a port of doubtful security, while there exists not far from Adinkirk one formed by nature, and which is both safe and convenient." According to a Havre journal the Government is about to tend out an expedition to Madagascar, to ar range the late defeat at Tamatave, and the command is to be given to the Prince DE JOINVILLE, who will hoist his flag on board the Suffren ship-of-the-line. It was also said that a British force would co-operate with the French. OR this subject the Presse, with its usual an- tipathy to England, makes these remarks:— " No one, we imagine, could blame the undertaking of such an expedition—no one, we may venture to affirm, would re gret seeing the command of it entrusted to the young Prince, who directed with so much ability our navaal operations against Morocco. But there is one point on which this una nimity will not exist—the co-operation of the English forces. It might have been acceptable in the late affair, on account of its urgency, from our station at Bourbon not having the means to act alone with sufficient efficacy, and, in fine, for our not being able at that moment to insure by ourselves alone the repression of that ill-treatment of which the English resi dents as well as our own had to complain, the acceptance of such concurrence became almost a necessity. But it be hoves us to leave to this incident the character altogether exceptional which belongs to it. By the new ex pedition now being prepared, if such there be, Fiance is called upon to assume towards Madagascar an attitude conformable to her rights, her interests, and her duties. It has been a fault on her side that she has suffered to lie dormant so long the right of sovereignty she possesses over this fine country. Wherever such rights exist 1 means should always be ready to cause them to be respected either on one's own account or on account of others. Other wise, what must happen ? One is obliged at a critical mo ment to accept the services of whoever it may be, and thereby, in soma degree, destroy the pretension and reality of the right on claims. It would have been much better in the case in question, if the French station in the Indian seas were sufficiently strong to do justice to English residents as well as our own, without halving the repression with the commander of the Conway. But this, which was then only an unfitness, becomes a matter of gravity, if, now that we have all the means of acting alone, we submit to a combined intervention. It will be in vain to say that our ulterior rights have been reserved; all these reservations, whether written or verbal, will not prevent the evil effects which such an operation must produce in that quarter of the world. Th e people there, seeing our flag constantly flanked by that of England, must infallibly conclude that we are not sufficiently powerful to maintain the rights we arrogate, and our moral influence will thus be depreciated, even when our claims to exclusive sovereignty remain intact. The English, who have always carefully abstained from acknowledging our rights upon Madagascar, are not a people to put themselves to charges, to make sacrifices of their men and money, for the sole pleasure of assisting us, and giving us a decided sanction. If they make up their minds to play a part in this operation, be assured that it is because, in one way or another, they hope to gain some profit. Let us us not, therefore, be simple enough to supply them without any necessity , with a pre -. text for mixing themselves up with this question. It will not be easy afterwards to get rid of them. We should re member the fable of the lion and his companion ; Let them but put one foot in, and they will soon have all four.' " The National also expresses its disapprobation of this proof of the entente cordiale by a union of the two forces:— " It must not be forgotten that the English were for a cer tain period all-powerful at Madagascar. Their missionaries, and such of their countrymen as had obtained a footing at the Court of Radoma, had acquired an influence before which ours was obliged to bow, and finally to disappear altogether. Since the accession of Queen Ranavilo matters have changed their appearance. All that bears the name of European was proscribed, and the English shared the common lot. Then commenced a series of annoyances, of which our rivals had their full share. Since 1836 the relations of the Government of the Mauritius with the Queen have exhibited a character of bitterness which it was easy to see would lead sooner or later to hostilities ; and the complaints of our nei g hbours a g ains t the Hovas accumulated in the same p ro p ortions as our own. From these matters may be easily inferred that England only desires to recover the influence which she possessed at Madagascar in the reign of Radoma, an influence which would lead her, at a period more or less early, to an absolute conquest. On the other hand, the complaints which she has a right to addreFs . to the Queen may serve as a pretext for demanding a direct and personal action in the discussion that has now commenced. The chief point is to set aside this pretension, should it be put forward—to act independently, by undertaking to procure alone the satisfaction which the two Governments demand. To admit the aid of a British naval or military force in obtaining vengeance for the com mon injury, would be to recognise implicitly the independence of the Queen of the Hovas. The English, since 1822, precisely maintain that Mada- gascar is an independent power. Is this opinion to bear the authority of fact, by allowing our rivals to obtain b 7 themselves the redress of their grievances a ga i ns t th e Government of Interne? To sum up, this is an unique op portunity for the definitive declaration of our rights of poS session. The press, public opinion, and the Chambers, ought to be on the alert not to allow it to escape." Some of journals, however, regard the report as im probable. The and QUEEN, with the rest of the Royal Family, who had been resident for some time at Eu, returned to St. Cloud on Wednesday. " M. Ronge arrived at Heidelberg on the 26th ult., but was not permitted by the authorities to perform public wor ship according to the new German Catholic Church, or to address the people."

ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN, LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The Great Western steamer, under command of Captain B. R. Mathews, arrived here last night, at half past ten, with forty-eight passengers. She left New York on the 18th instant, and has therefore made the voyage in rather over fifteen days. The news from Mexico by this arrival confirms the opinion before expressed, that there will be no war be tween Mexico and the United States. With an ex hausted treasury, ill fed and clothed troops, and, more over, civil war and rebellion in her provinces, Mexico, by the force of circumstances, is compelled to pocket the affront she fain would resent and resist if she had the power.

MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY.—The Chairman (Mr. Hudson, M.P.) and Board of the Midland Railway have given their decided support to this new line; and six of the Midland tirectors, including Mr. Hudson, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Waddington, join the direction of the Man chester and Southampton. Tile Midland Company take a portion of the Stock.—Leeds Mercury. The Washington Union, the official paper, says:— " Just as we are going to press, we learn that Government has received some interesting in'ormation from the capital of Mexico, to the 23d of August, and from Vera Cruz to the 30th, inclusive. It is said from the capital, that the new Cabinet is considered as opposed to the war : and even if it were otherwise disposed, it has not the means to carry on a war; that it is with the greatest difficulty it can raise the means to defray its necessary daily expenses; and that the war excitement is going down daily among all parties. " The accounts from Vera Cruz, of the 29th, auto that there has been a retrograde movement in regard to the inva sion of Texas—General Paredes absolutely refusing to march his forces (7,000 troops) towards Texas; that he has him self repaired to Mexico, and others have followed his example. The opinion was pretty well established at Vera Cruz, that the Mexicans will never attempt to cross the Rio Bravo; that they have made all the bluster they can; that they are without money, without credit, and, consequently powerless; and that they are, moreover, on the eve of a revolution, which will overturn the present Government." In a subsequent paragraph the official speaks yet more confidently, and referring to these lateaccounts from Mexico exclaims " Thus pass off the gasconades and blusters of Mexico." So be it--and let us hope that neither by insult ing language in official quarters, nor by offensive demonstra tions on the part of the armed forces of the United States stationed in and beyond Texas—may that feeble but passionate nation, be driven into hostilities they would fain avoid. From Texas later intelligence, though of little im portance, has been received at New Orleans, by the brig blaria Spears. The Convention had not adjourned. The Austin cer respondent of the Galveston News states that they have fixed upon 21 Senators and 66 Representatives to consti tute the Legislature. There had been an animated dis cussion of two days on the qualifications of voters. An amendment was adopted,-but afterwards set aside, placing all residents of Texas, at the time of the adoption of the new Constitution by our Government, on the same fcot ing as regards citizenship and suffrage. It was doubtful how the question would be finally settled. A great amount of business remained to be done. The boundary question, and the organization of the State Government, were to be disposed of. President Jones arrived at Austin on the 14th, and a resolution was offered the next day for the appointment of a commmittee to wait on him and consult with him touch• ing the propriety of re-organizing the State Government at once. The Convention bad adopted the anti-duelling clause engrossed on the constitution of Louisiana. Lotteries are prchibited. Judges are to be nominated by the Governor and confirmed by two-thirds of the Senate. The term of office is six years. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK, SEPT. 17.—The brief interval which has elapsed since the departure of the mail steamer from Boston, leaves little to be added to our advices by her. 'We are hourly expecting the steamer of the 4th inst. from Liverpool ; and on the eve of her arrival little or no businesi on foreign account is doing. Exchange on England - continues nominally at 9% to 10, but is very dull at that. On France it may be quoted at 5.23%. The general market for produce, money, and stocks, re mains without any material variation since our last. Cotton—The market remains inactive, without any alter ation in prices.

LIBERAL TRIUMPH AT LIVERPOOL.—The free traders of Liverpool, in addition to the accession to their own numbers made in the registration now finished, have struck off no fewer than 1,150 monopolists, whose names were ille gally on the roll. This makes the seat now secure for two free-traders at the next election. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 3.—The sup ply of wheat is liberal, of other grain extremely limited. Yesterday and to-day we had heavy rain, which must retard the latter part of the harvest. The market commenced by factors asking an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter, but this could not be obtained, and in the end a moderate business only was transacted, at the prices of Friday last. For old wheats and new wheats is. per quarter cheaper. Barley very scarce and dear; some samples of new cold at from 355. to 375. per quarter. Beans Is. to 2s. higher. Oats id. to t cl. per stone. Shelling better sale. Malt is held for an ad vance of is. to 2s. per load. HONEY -TAKING IN INDIA.—A swarm :of bees had - - -- fixed their abode on th e ce ili ng o f a verandah, and in due time, when the honey was deposited, we wished to collect it, but were for some time at a loss for means. Hearing, how ever, that there was a gardener who possessed a peculiar art of doing it unhurt, he was sent for, and desired to bring down the honey. He took some of the plant called toolsly (black ocymum) and rubbed it over his body, face, arms, and hands; he then chewed a little, and held a sprig of it in his mouth. With no other than this apparently slight defence, he mounted a ladder, a large dish in one hand and a sharp knife in the other; and though as thinly clad as his class usually are, with thousands of bees swarming about his naked body, he with the greatest sangfroid cut immediately through the upper part of the comb, where it was suspended to the roof, and receiving the whole of it in the dish, brought it down without having suffered from a single sting.—Madras Athenccunz. THE MID-LOTHIAN RIFLE CLUB.—The splendid silver jug, weighing 47i ounces, belonging to this club, was shot for by the members, in Hillhousefield Park, on Satur day, and gained by Wm.

Marshall. We will pay the money over to his mother, or any person au thorised by her to receive it. k.'ilterting _:•7.-.-11plit. LONDON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER •I, 1845. During the last and previous week numerous aoTicul tural meetings have been held throughout the country, and though there is seldom any occurrence very striking at these meetings, or speeches of a captivating character for the general ; eader, we cannot help admitting that they afford the most important news of the day. A com plete change has taken place in the tone which used to pervade the speeches after dinner, scarcely a word is heard about protection or the sliding-scale, or the heavy burdens on hand, or the selfish and treasonable Anti- Corn-law League, COBDEN and • Co. are spoken of with great respect, the farm labourers ex cite considerable interest, plans are proposed for their comfort as well as their improve ment ; and, above all, the landlords and their te nants begin to see, and to admit the fact, that they must look for success, not to the Legislature, or to any parti cular Ministry, but to their own exertions, industry, and skill. We are inclined to think that this is the greatest triumph of the League. The wall of separation between the parties has been broken down, and the arguments on both sides are listened to not only patiently, but with respectful attention. At the meeting of the Dorchester Agricultural Society, Mr. G. BANKES made a speech, very unlike his usual speeches. He ad vocated the claims of the poor half-starved la bourers, and the hardworking operatives in facto ries, be alluded to the manufacturers in the House of Commons ; he had a great respect for some of those manufacturers, and he should be " very glad to see them dancing the polka with the wives of their labourers. He spoke without wishing to throw aspersion or ridicule upon those individuals ; he said so seriously ; for there was nothing he wished for more than to see a good feel ing between the employer and the employed, as much amongst the agriculturists as amongst the manufactu rers ; and it gave him sincere pleasure to find that such a feeling was in reality springing up.'' At sei eral other meetings similar language was used, and we may, therefore, say that the agriculturists have not only received a great moral lesson, but that they have learned it w i t h goo d e ff ect. Th e b att l e h ence f ort h in the Legislature must partake of the same character, and we confidently anticipate that withia a very brief period the mist of ignorance and prejudice, as well as the groundless fear of lowering the duty ouco t r h n, will be dispelled, and reason a n d common sense form es of those who have to mak e l aws not for the beengeufiitdof one class but the whole community.
