WATERLOO BARRACKS . nQ THB TOWER.— Elms the first stone of these barracks was laid by tie Duke of Wallington, in June last, the works have been proceeded with vigo rously, and the building is now - nearly one story high throughout. The struetire was originally Proposed to accommodate eight hundred and twenty-six men.- but recent alterations have fitted it to receive neatly one thou/land. The length in front is 288 feet, and at the back 274 Yeet 8 inches. The width of the main building is 65 feet, but at Vie flank;:`,, extends to 82 feet. The size of the principal rooms is 28 feet by 24. The Boors are to be formed with iron girders and brick arches, so as to render the building fire-proof. The style of tho . 'otailding is castellated Gothic of the fifteenth Century; the walls are faced with Kentish rag, and the dressings of the windows, doors, sc.; are of Allston stone. Major Hall, as chief of the engineering department, is the director of the works; Mr. W. Harrison the con tractor for masonry, brickwork, &e.; and Mr. John Harrison for the carpenter's work. The total cost is estimated at nearly 50,000/. Many other works are contemplated in the Tower, involving a very large expenditure.

Large numbers were attracted to the gardens by the announe.ernent that several persons on horseback would ride a steeple chase in whatever direction the balloon might proceed. Fearing that the public safety might be endangered by such a course, the magistrates of the dis trict remonstrated against it, and the proprietors of the gardens ac eedocito their wishes. Mr. Green effected a safe descent at twenty minutes past six o'clock, at Hinton's-field, Plumpstead-marsh.

All the arrangements at liallinasioe were nearly complete, and care had been taken to secure the most experienced and able judges in England and Scotland, as well - as Ireland. D IRECT LONDON, GLASGOW, AND EDINBURGH RAILWAY, VIA I,EICES ['ER AND SHEFFIELD DIRECT. (Proylatonally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria,-cap. 110.) , .-:•- Capital, 1,200,0001., in 60,000 shares of 201. each. . Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share. The, object of this Co m p an y i s t o establish the most direct co areenica rn tion between Sheffield and the West Riding of Yorkshire and DindOn, and also between London and the important cities of Glas gow-aset Edinburgh. Of the numerous projects to which attention has been directed, none win bear a stricter investigation than the one now submitted to the gokeip of the public ; for, whilst it is proposed to secure the best and shortest route to the metropolis, from its proposed connexion 'with other existing or projected lines north and south of Sheffield, that object will be attained at comparatively little cost. . The main line of this important undertaking will commence by . a junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, at or near Beighton, being a distance of about seven miles in a south-easterly tilrection _from Sheffield, and will ' proceed thence in a straight and direct . southern course to Leicester. passing about seven Trilles eastward of Chesterfield, and about five miles to the west of Nottingham. But the Cr:ll:many will take power& to com gaence,itel line' at the terulifdls of the Sheffield and Manchester Otatibn; at Sheffield, in case the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line shoUld not meet with the same satisfactory reception in the House of Lords during the ensuing session as that important project has met with in th, HOW, of Commons during the last tesaion. At Leicester, the proposed line will form ajunstion with the South MI !land and the Leicester and Bedford projected 111161, or one of them, theeeby effect ing the shortest practicable route' that can possibly be made .from Sheffield to the Metropolis, reducing the distance between those places nearly thirty miles, and between London and Glasgow about seventy-five miles, and at the same time avoiding the delays at Mae bre.' and Derby, so generally cemplained of, and which frequently oscapy upwards of an hour. On inspecting the Orctrianoe or other correct maps of the country, it will also Appear beyond doubt, that this line, in connexion with other lines in existence and projected, will form the most direct communi eatios,between Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as all the important toWris and districts of the North, and London. North of Sheffield, In one direction, this line, In connexion with the Sheffield and Rudders leid—Huddersfleld, Halifax, and Keighlcy—North Western—Lan eastetand Carlisle—and Caledonian lines, will form one grand trunk line, la a direct course from Glasgow and Edinburgh to London ; while in another direction, by the proposed Sheffield, Wortley, Silk stone, and Wakefield, or Sheffield, Barnsley, and Wakefield lines, ?rem Sheffield to Wakefield, Ind by the Wakefield, Leeds, and Har rogate line, direct to Leeds, it will place the above important towns, • as well as the whole manufacturing and mining districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, and Northumberland, on the main Mink between London and the North. If fat a direct communication between the above important districts and London, as well as between Scotland and London, is greatly needed, is placed beyond all doubt, not only from an inspection of the maps of the country, but from the often repeated expression of public opinion 011 this subject. The vast and increasing population of the above districts, the immense and daily increasing traffic between those districts and London, and the growing desire for direct com munication between all important parts of the country, render such a line as Is now projected absolutely essential. That this is the case, May be gathered from the speeches of Sir Robert Peel in the House Of Commons during the last session ; Lord Wharncliffe, at the recent annual festival of the Corporation of Cutlers, at Sheffield ; and other members of the Government, all of whom concur in asserting that a more direct communication between London and the North, than at present exist.", is now become absolutely necessary to supply the Wants of the country. This railway may, therefore, justly be regarded as a great na- Wonal undertaking, and not one merely affecting local interests, al though its advantages to Sheffield, and the great and important ma nufaeturing districts of West Yorkshire, cannot be too highly letitiated. In a great undertaking like the present, connecting nearly the whole of t hernanufaeturing districts of Yorkshire and the North with Dendoil, by means of the numerous ramifications branching from its northern terminus, and collecting them all at that point, and carrying %heir traffic forward to the South, it is almost impossible to form a correct estimate of the immense traffic which must necessarily be R ed Intohe line ; but, after making for Me Working expe nu , s4 the an allowance of 40 per cent. to more than 10 set returns are calculated to amount Per cent. per annum oa the required capital , without taking into account v arious future sources of income which ' the rail- There Way will necessarily create. is also reason to believe that this will be the route adopted by bee Majesty's Government for the conveyance of the mails between • London and Scotland. The cost of the line will be materially reduced in ease the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line should ultimately pass the House of Lords (of which there can be but little re asonable doubt), by t e he circumstance ~f tbe proposed line traver sing that line for a distance and of thereby avoiding the usual large outlay neeeasarliysejevonlvmedilesin, the purchase property. . The names of an influential Provisional Committee, with a PrG metes and lithographic plan o f t h e lies (which are now in course of • preparation), will shortly be issued. 4. certain proportion of shares will be reserved for shareholders In Was Sheffield and Lincolnshire, and such lines north and south of this Sae as have already promised their support.

SECOND EDITION. AV - 21131 1 11 -k.t.-111111; LONDON, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. Iti4s. We are so far from thinking lightly of what the Admiralty have done within the last twelve months to repair the de fective condition of her MAJESTY'S navy, and to introduce sound improvements into some of the most important details of the service, that our desire is rather to ex press our gratitude for the zeal and earnestness with which they have applied themselves to a vigilant and assiduous administration of all duties of their depart ment. This gratitude, however, is not •nnmixed with a confident hope that the scope of the Board's exertions will be yet very considerably enlarged ; and allowing, as all of us must do, for the consumption of time inseparable from the necessity of replacing the whole, or parts only, of the extensive action of an inefficient but complicated system, by new machinery and a more intelligent direction of it; we still hope to see such further demands on the attention and labours of the Board, as are connected with objects of primary, of vital consequence, attended to—with a promptitude unrelaxed by the extent and duration of former exertions. But vast as is the responsibility attaching to the manifold duties of the service they preside over, the praise and respect of their fellow-countrymen may well suffice as adequate inducement to any amount of increased efforts on their part to consolidate the strength, uphold the efficiency, and renew and concentrate the vital energies of our maritime power. We concur, therefore, with our correspon dent " JUSTITIA," in appealing to the Admiralty " to go on with the good work which they have so boldly begun." To this end no influence can be so advantageously brought to act upon them, or upon any branch of the Execu tive, as that of public opinion. In our own columns that opinion is to be collected from no inconsiderable variety of correspondent., on whose communications, from time to time, we crave leave to offer such comments as they suggest to us. Among these, we know of none more opportune, just now, than the letter of " Jusrma," on the " Naval Retirement." It relates to a topic the importance and bearings of which on the highest interests of the empire it is impossible to ex aggerates—difficult sufficiently to appreciate. The moral feeling of the body of officers in one of the two great branches of the public service it is always of the most weobsei fi Now, the h e indisp ensa bl e consequence to prt-serve in a healthful and vita served wh conditionent was first promulgated retirement of I tiihatit which t,beneficial, exc ud es, it appear).'

The preamble or.recital I of the list- itself remains on IT - Cord as a most honourable, but well-merited tribute to the bravery and the deserts of the veteran captains in whose favour it has been prepared. But whilst doling out a tardy measure of justice to one section of the service, on account of their long tenure of the rank now held by them, it is so hard on the whole body of com menders and lieutenants who even in rank are re - moved, it may be said, but by a single epaulette from • the fortunate objects of the " minute," to be utterly excluded from it, that we are strongly tempted to assume it must be within the contemplation of the Ad miralty, ere long, to bring forward another " Retirement List," to include the older and the more distinguished vete rans under the rank of post-captains, who may proudly say, with the Apostle of old, that in the fierce time gone by they have been "in labours more abundant, in 'battles' more frequent, in deaths oft . . . . in perils of waters, in perils of the sea." If the effect of the proposed retirement scheme were only to remove in the persons of the older post-captains the . otherwise inseparable im pediment to the employment of the younger ones, who, from connexion or interest, have already jumped over the heads of older and better offiiers, in the shape of commanders and first lieutenants, who have seen a great deal of real service, and earned their experience —A.ll their wounds, their honours—and their infirmities in the hard fighting of the last war, or hard service upon foreign sta tions since, in crazy craft or with short complements of men ; that 'Which we were disposed to' hail as a well-timed and -generous boon to the service, would be, indeed, but an ela borate insult - on; some of the most meritorious ornaments of their profession. But we cannot help thinking that this would be a most illiberal assumption. It is evi dent that with sufficient plausibility we might go beyond it, and infer that the Lords of the Admiralty meant to justify their present limitation of the re tirement list on the trite axiom " that a lino must be drawn somewhere." They might, if they were so minded, reply to all remonstrance on the subject, " that, admitting the merits of the petitioners or remonstrants who thought themselves aggrieved by the exclusion now complained of, yet, if Govern ment did not draw the line between post-captains and com manders, neither could they between commanders and first lieutenants, nor between first lieutenants and masters, whose terms of service, good conduct, &c., were equal." Now, we look for better things at the hands of Sir GEORGE COCK.. nuitx, from his personal knowledge and experience of a profession which boasts no more distingushed member than himself ; and at those of the Earl of HADDINGTOR, than whom we do not believe a more considerate or disinterested servant of the Crown can be named. "Jusurtt " must make allowances, we fear, for the time it takes to apply the screw with effect to such a seasoned piece of official toughness and insensibility as the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and he may be assured, fair and ably stated as his appeal is, that if the First and Second Lords are essential to a good and beneficial working triumvi rate at the Admiralty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the all-indisPensable and vivifying el. ment of such a body. We shall wait a little, therefore, to watch the course of pend ing deliberations at Whitehall before we recur to this inte resting subject The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 15th, is des titute of interest. No business was done on the Bourse during the 15th. Several of. the Paris journals, and among the rest the Journal del Debuts, show that during the visit of the Duke n NT:Nouns to the south of France, his Royal Highness had occasion to listen to other addresses than those of congratula tion and flattery. On the 16th the Congress of Wine-growers held their annual meeting, and seized the opportunity of the Duke's presence to represent to him the deplorable condition of the Wine trade. A deputation was appointed for the pur pose, whnstated that the department of the Gironde, though one of the richest in France, was overwhelmed with mortgage debts ; that the wine trade in place of improving, was rapidly declining; that they were reduced to the brink of ruin, caused chiefly by the suicidal conduct of the Legis lature,. in prohibiting trade with foreign countries, "At home," they said, "the returns show that the wine interests form a melancholy contrast to the general pros perity. While foreign countries thus repel our productions, because they are driven away from our own frontiers by pro tecting tariffs which are out of all bounds, the interior legis lation of our country commits the double injustice of exact ing enormous imposts from us, and of restricting the con sumption of our productions, which alone furnish us the means of paying them. After having paid for our lands, bearing vines, a higher impost than is exacted from other lands, 'our produce is condemned to support exclusively, from their ori fin till the period of their being consumed, .fifteen different indirect imposts, which yield a profit of 1,006 millions to the state, and 25 millions to the towns. The imports on our pro ductions vary, according to circumstances, from 120 to 136 per cent. on the val ue . This is an enormous amount, and when the falling off in the trade is taken into account, the condition of these landed proprietors must indeed be deplora ble. The following statements show the great decline which has taken place in the exports of wine and brandy " The exportation of wines from the Gironde to Russia, which was 30,000 hectolitres in 1821, 29,000 hectolitres in 1827, and 28,000 hec tolitres in 1832, was only 19,000 hectolitres in 1842, and 16,000 in 1844. " The exports to Sweden and Norway, which in 1840, 1841. and 1842, varied between 6,000 and 7,000 hectolitres, fell in 1e44 to 3,700 hectolitres. " The exports to the Hans towns amounted in 1823 to 167,000 ; 1832, 165,000 ; 1833, 238,000 ; 1840, 125,0 0 ; 1841, 117,900 ; 1842, 89,000 ; 1843, 77,000 ; 1844, 73,000 hectolitres. . . The exports of brandy to Norway, in 1842, were 764,008 litres, and in 1844 they fell to 85,000 litres. To England the exports in 1842 were 585,000 litres ; in 1844, 219,000 litres. " Almost everywhere' else, as to the United States, the Brazils, Mexico, and the Spanish American colonies, the result is similar both in respect to wine and brandy." His Royal Highness, in reply, lamented the present depres sion of the wine trade, and promised to give the subject his most serious consideration, at the acme time informing the deputation, of which they seemed aware, that any change depended on the votes of the two Chambers. The following extract from the Journal des Debats leaves little doubt that the discussions in the Saxon Chambers during the present session will possess deep interest for Germany : " We Perceive, by letters from Dresden, of the 15th instant, that the events at Leipsic, which excited so lively an agitation through out Saxony; will probably be the object of grave deliberations in the states of that country. Already the preliminary.labours of the Chamber of Deputies show that the Government will meet with a strong opposition there. It is a matter of notoriety that in Saxony, as in France under the Restoration, the Chamber of Deputies sends In a list of candidates for the President's chair, out of which the King makes a choice. Up to the present period, through re spect for the majority, the King has always named a candidate placed at the head of the list submitted to him by the Chamber of Deputies. On thi occasion the Chamber had chosen, by a plural.ty of votes, M. Haase, deputy for . Leipsic, and who formed one of the deputation sent by that city to the King on the late disturbances, which' deputation threw the whole responsibility on the Government and the 'military authorities. The King, to manifest his great disse tisfactl6tiat the city of Leipsic and its Deputy, put aside M. Haase, and named 51:Braun, who was the second on the list, President. It so happens that this choice is a great triumph for the Opposition, as M. Brant is one :of the most detemlned adversaries of the Government.

West Flanders TROTTING MATCH.— Yesterday a trotting match in harness came off at Mitcham-common, between Mr. Barton's brown horse and Mr. Dean's brown mare, for 101. aside. The con testing distance was four miles. The race commenced at a good pace, the mare completing the first mile in 3% minutes, with a lead of forty yards. The next mile was accomplished in 3 minutes and 22 seconds, the mare still leading. Upon the approach to the third mile, the mare broke out to a gallop, and, being pulled in and turned, gave the horse an opportunity to make ground, and he took the lead, performing the third mile in 3 minutes and 29 seconds. When within half a mile of the goal, the mare had succeeded in coming up, and a sharp contest ensued the remaining distance, which terminated by the mare coming in the winner by twenty-five yards, and accom plishing the four miles of road in 14 minutes and 10 seconds. MYSTERIOUS DEATH BY DROWNING OF A CLERK IN THE ACCOUNTANT -GENERAL'S OP TlCE. — Yesterday Mr. Joseph Payne held a long inquest at the Newcastle Coffee-house, St. Mary at-Hill, _Billingsgate, touching the death of Mr. Matthew Robins, aged forty, clerk in the Accountant-General's office, of the Court of Chancery. It appeared that deceased resided at No. 5, Elm-grove, Peckham; and at twelve o'clock on Friday last, left that suburb, tell ing his brother that he was going to his office for some money, and intended to join his wife in the evening at a friend's in town. He did not, however, go to his office, and at nine o'clock at night he was found by some watennen in the river, at the foot of the Custom House-stairs, to all appearance dead, but having his watch and money on his person. The evidence implied that the deceased might have been resuscitated had he been properly dealt with when found; there was, however, no reason to conclude that he met with foul play. Under these circumstances the jury came to the verdict, " Found drowned, but how he came by his death there was no evidence to 'how." DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS.— This venerable Bishop died yesterday, at Weston-super-Mare, Somer. setshire, at the advanced age of 85 years. His episcopal duties, on account of his infirmities, have for some time past been performed by the Bishop of Salisbury. His Lordship was a Doctor of Divinity, a visitor of Wadham College. Oxford, F.R., A.S., and uncle to the Earl of Ellenborough. He was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1812, and translated to Bath and Wells in 1824. TIPPERARY MODB OF PAYING RENT.—In our publication of Saturday last an advertisement appeared for the sale of the produce of five fields of wheat, two fields of oats, and some hay, distrained by the receiver under the Court of Chancery for rent due on part•of the Derry Castle estate., amounting to upwards of 2001., and which was to be sold by auction yesterday (Friday). Bailiffs to the number of seven were placed over the property, who visited it every day to see that all was right. On Friday morning, however, npon going to the lands, there was not a vestige of the pro duce to be seen—not a single straw was left behind—the lads having made clean work of it during the previous night, to the great dis appointment of the receiver, the auctioneer, and the bailiffs.—Nenagh Guardian. _ MANLY SPORTS.—Whenever public expectation is 4 at the highest pitch amongst the sporting million, the invariable re• mark is, " Wait till we see Bell's Life in London" THE 57111, OR " DIE-HARDS."—The war-name of this distinguished corps was acquired, we believe, in the bard-fought battle of Albuera, where they are described in the Gazette to have fallen "as they stood in their ranks, with every wound in front." When there were only two subalterns—one of whom was severely wounded, but declined to give up the colours to " a sergeant "—sad about one hundred and fifty men of the whole regiment left, they became impatient of their long and fatal stand-still fight, and, raising a spontaneous shout, rushed into the bosom of the broad column opposed to them. It was at this moment, when the brave remnant of his regiment disappeared from his view, as if they had been swallowed up by the masses by which they were surrounded, that their wounded Colonel (Inglis) uttered the memorable exclama tion from which their name was taken—" Well done, my brave fel lows 1 --you'll die hard, at any rate !" But they did not die. It is Se l do m that even thousands of Frenchmen have stood the charge of korte sec ' rei l ra t i s h turt Viebt and the upo i r repoina2t of the 1 441 tba *tag dC4,,,iptintifiO.tpaW. - MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. I CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The market for Cotton at Li ve rpo..l yesterday was very quiet. The sales were only about 3,000 b ags , o f w h ic h specu lators took 500. There was no chat ge in prices ; 200 Maran -ham- realised 5%d. to 6d. ; 100 Perham, 6%cl to 6 3 / d. ; 100 Egyptian, 7%d. ; 300 Surat, 3%d. to 3 1 ,4 d., and the rest 'American at 3%d. to e l d. per lb.—Shares were good, and there was a steady demand for Railway Stock. There are accounts of May 6 from Hobart Town, Van Dieman's Land, but they furnish very little information on subjects of general interest. The colony was progressing in its industrial resources, and the leading and most serious matter of complaint 'among the Van Dieman's Land peo' le seems to be the excess of the convict population, which was become dangerous alike to the morality and tranquillity of the island. A considerable increase has lately taken place in the trade between the Madeiras and this country, and some tine vessels are about being fitted out to convey the produce of that rich island to this country. The brig Dart, now in the London Docks, was inspected by a party of scientific men on Satur day, and pronounced to be most suitable for the con veyance of produce, as well as most safe and easy for invalids. The Dart is of 242 tons burthen. She has a long midship body, with fine ends, and h er sailing qualities have not alone been considered to the ex clusion of others equally important, that of encountering heavy weather—is easy of motion, and being always dry ou deck in any weather, is conducive to the comfort of pas sengers, enabling them at all times to remain on her long quarter deck. Her accommodations consist of separate state rooms, ladies' and dining cabins (the latter 24 feet long), very airy, combining every comfort to make a sea voyage agree able, and preferable in every respect to invalids to the motion, noise, vapour, and often crowded state of steam-packeti. The Consol market has been rather heavy this morning, at 98% % for Money, and 98% for the Account. Exchequer bills are also lower. India Stock is at 268, and Long - Annuities are at 11 1 %. In the Foreign Stocks the most material fluctuations have been in Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., which have been sold as low as 59 1 ; they are now 60 1 . The Portuguese Four per Cents. have been offered at 59 1 ; Colombian and Venezuelan, at 18%; Mexican, at 32% ; and the Equador Stock, at 5. The Railway Share Market is rather flat to-day.

James Harper, who said he was a wine -merchant, was placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged a ith committing an assault on John Carter, the door-keeper at the pit entrance of the Lyceum Theatre. The complainant said that the prisoner and some other persons came to the door of the theatre last night, and demanded admission at half-price. He told them it was not yet time, and they must either pay the thin price or wait till the time announced for second price in the bills. They attempted to force the door, which he had closed and bolted. At the usual time he opened the door to admit the people who were waiting outside, and the prisoner, who was the first to come in, turned out of his way to go up to him, and stamped on his foot with great three. The prisone; said that he and some other persons were waiting at the pit entrance of the theatre, when some of them made a rush towards the door, and so threw him (witness) against it. The door was fastened at the top only, and by the fore* of the pressure from with out it was pushed partly open. He accidentally put his foot in at the bottom. 31r. TwyFoar, said the only conclusion he could draw from the evidence was, that the prisoner, taneying himself injured by being kept out from the theatre, had as.aulted the constable in revenge. He would fine him 205., or, in default, seven days' imprisonment. The fine was immediately paid. SPEECH of the KING of SAXONY. The opening of the States of the fifth Constitutional Diet took place on the 14th. After the usual religious ceremonies, the King, accompanied by Prince John and Prince Albert, returned into the Salle, and pronounced the following discourse : " Gentlemen of the States,—l have assembled you round my throne at an earlier period than usual, in order to settle the law on the finances before the expiration of the year, and in order to avoid its being consented to provisionally. The count!) , will appreciate the sacrifice made by many of you in being thus torn from your ordinary occupations. Since the closing of the last diet, the amicable relations with foreign states have been maintaiued and strengthened. The treaties concluded with Belgium, Sardinia, and Portugal, have secured fresh advantages to our commerce. "By the conclusion of an additional clause to the treaty of navigation with the Elbe, that navigation has obtained further facilities. 'An amicable arrangement, based on reci procal confidence and est , em, has secured us from the Aus trian Government the restoration of the Schirgiswalde with its dependencies. Negotiations relative to the general regu lation of the frontiers have been again opened with the king dom of Bohemia, and carried on in the same spirit. Ther e is every reason. to .expect a satistactory solution. The engage ments whieh are imposed on_us as members of the Germanic Confederation render necessary icarie-ebanges in the law cf. recruitment, particularly with regard to the reserve. These changes will be submitted to your consideration. "Although I can allude to the satisfactory state of the in ternal affairs of the kingdom, there are nevertheless some afflicting events which I have to remark. An event, much to be regretted, which wounds the dearest feelings of my heart, has recently taken place in one of the most important cities of. the kingdom ; and I have no doubt you will sym p,thise in my grief on the subject. •The agitation which has manifested itself on several points connected with religious affairs, and which threatens to destroy all harmony, and get beyond the bounds of good order, merits the most serious attention. Without taking into account the creeds of the various recogni,ed churches, I promised, on ascending the throne, to support, above all, those religious feelings which the people of Saxony-have known how to maintain in such an honourable manner. I expressed the conviction that the states of Saxony will be guided by the same. respect for what is the most sacred thing in the world. If my confidence in this respect be well founded, I hope, and I rely that you will grant me your support, in order that the principles of the Church may not be shaken, and that the fundamental pillars of the state, and the welfare of humanity, religion, and faith, may not be sapped at their foundation. " A system of rigorous t-everity in the economy of the state, and the favourable result of the public resources, as well as the means secured by the last Diet, have allowed the engage ments contracted by the public treasury to be strictly ful filled. This favourable result permits a proposition to be submitted for the reduction of the taxes on manufacturing and personal interests. The construction of lines of railroads rendered necessary the adoption of other means to meet the demands of the state. The prosperous state of public credit has permitted, even befOre the completion of the -railroads Which lead to adjoining countries, to authorise the construc tion of the branch lines from Schemmiz to Reiza, and from Lobau to Zittar, which will spare the public treasury a great sacrifice. Several important bills have been prepared by the Committee of the two Chambers, and will be laid before you. " Other measures, partly ca ll e d for by the wishes- of the ancient - assemblies of the States, will be also submitted for your consideration. The Minister of State who presides over public assemblies, will communicate to you the results of the labours of the different branches of the Administration. " Having replied to the provisions of the constitution with scrupulous good faith, I have a right to demand front all Saxons to act in the same manner. I particularly request you, Gentlemen of the States, to second me in the firm reso lution to maintain in the internal condition of the state a con,titutional and regular course, in older that the name of Saxons may be universally respected and held in esteem, and that constitutions like ours may be regarded as the firmest ramparts against anarchy and disorder, and as a guarantee of the maintenance of the bond which unites the Prince and the people. The consolidation of this bond can alone secure the happiness of the people. Full of confi dence in you, I rely that that spirit of wisdom and pa triotism will direct your discussions ; the country will then regard with gratit u d e the labours of the Diet which is this day opened." Ili; Majesty and the Princes then retin d, and M. de Konneri;s, the Minister of State, made known to the tv4m-mbly the different measures to which the King had alluded. IRELAND: ACADEMIC EDUCATION.—The Cathf file prelates have a second time declared their hostility to the ministerial scheme of academic e d ucat i on. Here is the de claration :--" Lest our faithful fl oc k s s h ould b e apprehensive of any change being wrought in our minds relative to the recent legislative measure of academic education, we, the undersigned ArchbiQhops and Bishops, feel it a duty we owe to them, and to ourselves, to reiterate our solemn conviction of its being dangerous to faith and morals. as declared in the resolutions unanimously adopted in May last by the as.sem bled Bishops of Ireland :—M. Slattery, Archbishop of Cashel ; John, Archbishop of Tuam ; Thomas ('oen, Bishop of Clon fert ; Patrick M'Nicholas, Bishop of Achoory ; James Keating, Bishop of Ferns ; Patrick M'Gettigan, Bishop of Raphoe ; Cornelius Egan, Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe ; Edmund Ffrench, Bishop of Kilmacduagh and Kiifenora ; William Higgins, Bishop of Ardttgh John Cantwell, Bishop of Meath; Michael Blake, Bishop of Dromore ; 'William Kin sella, Bishop of Ossory ; George J.

PROGRESS OF A POUND OF COTTON There was sent off for London, lately, from Glasgow, a small piece of muslin, about one pound weight, the history cf which is as follows :—The cotton came from the United States to London ; from London it went to Manchester, where it was Manufactured into yarn; from Manchester it was sent to Paisley, where it was woven : it was sent to Ayrshire next, where it was tamboured; afterwards it was conveyed to Dunbarton, where it was handsewed, and again returned to Kis:ey, when it was sent to a distant part of the county of Renfrew to be bleached, and was returned to Paisley ; then sent to Glasgow, and was finished ; and from Glasgow was sent per coach to London. It is difficult precisely to ascer• Uhl the time taken to bring this article to market, but it may be pretty near the truth to reckon it two years from the time it was packed in America, till its cloth arrived at the merchant's warehouse in London, whither it must have been conveyed 3,000 miles by'seiti and 920 by land, and contributed toward the support of no less than 150 people, whose services were necessary in the carriage and manufacture of this small quantity of cotton, and by which the value has been advanced 2,000 per cent. What is said of this piece is descriptive of no inconsiderable part of the trade."— Scotch paper. LATEST FROM DAVIS'S STRAITS.--Another of our whalers has arrived. The Alexander, Reid, from Davis's Straits, brought up in our roads on Wednesday, with a cargo of 27 fish, which will produce about 170 tans of oil. The Alexander brings no additional intelligence ttom that quarter.—Dundee Advertiser. EXPORTATION OF SALT TO THE EAST INDIES.— We are infoi med that no less than from 20,000 to 30,000 tons of salt have been exported hence to the East Indies within the last three months. The enterprise is expected to return a very handsome profit.—Lieerpool Albion. SEIZURE OF WATCHES.—We understand, with re spect to the seizure of watches recently made by the revenue officers, that what was stated as being extremely probable, viz., that the officers had the seizure of a further quantity in view, was quite correct. Shortly after the capture of the first-mentioned quantity, they received information which led them to start immediately for Liverpool, where they made a seizure of a much larger quantity, and, if we under stand rightly, while at that port they obtained a further clue, which it is not improbable will lead to the ultimate seizure of a large quantity of the same valuable description of merchandise. We are in possession of some further par ticulars in the matter, which we do not feel at liberty to pub lish at present, as it might probably have the effect of preventing the furtherance of the ends of justice. The officers concerned are remarkably shrewd and intelligent, and it is not at all likely that they will lose the probable chance afforded them of ultimately making a seizure of those which they have in view, and of causing them also to be confiscated to the revenue. It is to be hoped that such will be the case; as we have before re marked, the success of such daring attempts to introduce so valuable an article of merchandise into the country, without the payment of the proper duties must be a matter of serious moment to that im portant branch of trade and manufacture. %% P MTS. OF THE INDEMNITY.—CLEVERNESS OF THE CAPTAlN.—lntelligence was received at Stockton, on Sunday, of the wreck of the brig Indemity, Captain R. Grieves, of that port, the property of Mr. W. W. Watson, about the middle of July, on the Magdalen Islands, in the gulf of St. Lawrence, 'while on her passage from Ireland to Quebec, in ballast. At the time of the wreck there were nearly 20 persons on board. The vessel having got on the shore, the master went to the main land, and hired some labourers to assist in getting her off; but a storm arose on his return, threatening not only her loss, but the loss of all hands. Under these circumstances, he sent a buoy adrift, attached to a line; and on Its approach to the land, it was hooked up by the inhabitants, a number of whom had assembled on the cliffs. A ward was then fastened to the line on board the brig, and drawn to the cliff, where it was made fast. The captain now placed a " thimble" on the rope, with a hempen " chair ;" and the line was made fast to the " thimble" in two places —so that the chair could be drawn up to the cliff, and back to the vessel. With this apparatus the seamen and labourers were made to travel, one by one, from the wreck to the cliff. The captain re mained to the last ; and having no one to assist him into the " chair," he had great clinically in taking his seat, and securing his safety. One man *lily— a sailor, named Brown—was lost. lie had attempted, in spite of his master's injunctions, to make his way to land in a boat, and was drowned. The hull and materials of the brig (which was insured) sold for a sum short of 1601. Gateshead Observer. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—These grounds were on Monday enlivened, in addition to the usual attrac tions of music, fireworks, pictorial representations, wild beasts, and birds, &c., by the visit of the boys of the Royal Hospital School at Greenwich, Icho arrived at the gates, where they were received by Mr. Tyler, the proprietor, a little after six o'clock.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. DUBLIN, SAW RDAY.—This day the half-yearly general meeting of Proprietors was held at the Company's offices, No. 3, College-green. The meeting was large and highly respectable. At one o'clock George Roe, Esq., was moved to the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report : " At the half-yearly of the shareholders held on the 2d of October last, your Directors were empowered to apply for an Act of Parliament to authorise the extension of your line to Cork and Limerick, as originally contem plated. The application was made last session of Parlia ment, and the Act has been obtained. The Directors have, therefore, the sati, faction of reporting that you are now one Company, under one Direction, for the purpose of carry ing out this great undertaking, which, when completed by the addition of the branches to which your attention will be called in another part of this report, will form the most im portant and productive railway undertaking in this country. In the same session a Compony applied for Parliamentary power to make a railway from Waterford to Limerick. Of this line, the part which lies between Tipperary and Limerick runs nearly parallel - to your proposed Limerick extension... When the plans of these two undertakings were submitted to the Board of Trade, it appeared to that tribunal that, as the portion between Tipperary and Lime rick was common to the two Companies, it would be most expedient for the public service, that the use thereof should be given conjointly to both, under an agreement, to be em bodied in each of their Acts of Parliament. This has ac cordingly been done. The principal conditions are :—That this Company .is to pay to the Waterford and Limerick Com pany a per tentage on one-half of the cost of constructing that portion of the railway netween the point of junction and the city of Limerick, and also one-half the charge of keeping it in repair; that all stations between these two points shall be for the joint or separate accommodation of the two Com panies, and that the Great Southern and Western Railway shall have a separate terminus at Limerick. These terms your Directors consider to be advantageous to your interests. The support which it is the interest of your Company- to give .to branch lines connecting themselves with your main trunk, early engaged the attention of the Directors, and at your last half-yearly meeting you sanctioned a subscription of 100,000/. to the Galway line, and 20,0004 to the Carlow, and Wexford Junction. From circumstances which it is unnecessary to state here, both these Companies failed in getting their Acts of incorporation. It is intended, however, by the promoters of these undertakings, to renew their applications for Bills next session of Parliament, and from the opinion expressed by the Board of Trade, and the reports made by the Parlia mentary Committees to which these lines had been referred, there can be but little doubt that these applications will be successful. It will be necessary, however, to renew your approval of supporting both these ines by subscribing thereto *the amounts above specified. It is also proposed to make a branch railway from Killarney, to join your line at Mallow, which 3 our Directors think will be of such advantage to this Company that they strongly recommend you , supporting it also, by taking shares th rein to the amount of 100,000/. In these several undertakings it is intended that powers shall be taken in their Acts for placing a certain number of your Directors on their Boards, thereby securing a permanent in fluence in the direction of each, and an harmonious working of the whole. In addition to the lines already stated, a com pany has been formed foruniting Clonmel with Cashel ; an other for constructing a branch from your line, near Temple more, to Nenagh, the assize town of the North Riding of Tipperary; another for making a branch from Borris-in- Ossory to Roscrea and Parsonstown, in the King's County, and another connecting Ennis, the capital of Clare, and Killaloe,. the key of the Shannon intercourse, with your line, near its terminus at Limerick; while the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway, for which an Act was obtained last session, secures you the tiaffic of these two important towns. From the foregoing enumerations of additional traffic about to be brought upon your main trunk, your Directors cannot but congratulate you on having secured a line of railway which, from its geographical position, must receive a very considerable portion of that tributary traffic which railway communication necessarily creates. The extension lines having been consolidated with the Dublin and. Cashel divi sion, the Directors are taking the necessary steps to have the calls on both placed on an equality. And as every exertion will be made to complete the whole line with the least pos sible delay, the capital is likely to be required as quickly as the Act will enable the calls to be made. The Directors have much pleasure in stating that contracts have been entered into for a large supply' of sleepers, iron rails, locomotive en gines, and carriages, on reasonable terms, and the works along the line are in such a state, of forwardness as to war rant the Directors in believing that it will be opened at the time originally contemplated. The engineers and solicitors are now engaged in making arrangements to obtain imme diate possession of the land for the extension line to Cork, so that contracts may be entered into for its construction. The rapid progress made in the works will be found in the subjoined report of the engineer,. and the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Company, made up to the 28th of August, 1844; certified by the auditors, are annexed. By the 17th section of the Extension Act, all the memb ers of the board of direction vacate their seats at the present meeting, but are eligible to be immediately re-elected." The SERETARY also read the report of the engineer, Sir John M'Neil, on the state of the works. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. JAMES PERRY said that there was an item of 7,0001. in the accounts, which had been allocated to the Great Western line from Portarlington to Galway. He denied that the Company had the power to make investments of their capital in other lines ; it had been admitted by the Directors that they could not appropriate the funds of the Company to any purposes but those for which the Company was formed. There were also large sums of money proposed to be advanced to the Killarney Junction Railway, and the Wexford and Carlow Railway Companies. He (Mr. Perry) respectfully denied that they could legally appropriate the funds of the Company in those separate lines. The CHAIRMAN said that the item of 7,0001. advanced to the Galway Company would be refunded, and it required only the presence of Mr. Kane to have the necessary deeds and preliminaries put in order, for the purpose of having that sum refunded to the Company. A discussion arose as to the legality of advancing the capital of the company in the speculations alluded to by Mr. Perry, in which Sir David Roche, Bart., Sir John Burke, Bart., Mr. Barrington, Mr. Ferrier, and the Chairman took part ; after which the motion, that the report should be received, was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN put the third resolution, which was to the effect that the Directors should have full power and au thority to invest in the Irish Great Western, or Galway Com pany, 100,000/. ; in the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junc tion Railway, 100,000/. ; and in the Killarney Junction Rail way, 20,0004 and to carry out arrangements with the several companies of these lines, with a view to the further ance and protection of the interests of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. The resolution was carried unanimously. The direc - tors of the past year were re- elected for the pre. sent, after which Sir JouN BURKE, Bart., was moved to the chair, and thanks having been voted to the prior chairman, the meet ing adjourned. CONTINENTAL LINES. STOCKHOLM, SErr. 15.—Count Rosen is come from Eng land, by which the statements in the newspapers of an English plan for making railways in Sweden appear to re ceive some confirmation. CHARLEROI AND ERQUELINNES.—The surveys are com pleted, the line staked out, and the works will be commenced in a month. A new line in the Charleroi district, to accom modate the collieries of Ardinoises, Maimburg, Bellevue, Ledelinsart, &tore Madame, and the glass works of Dam premy and Charleroi, is projected. MIDDLEBORO AND MAESTRICHT.—This line i 3 conceded preliminarily to Mynheer Dirk Dronckers, who has already provided the necessary capital. The line begins at Middle burg, with a branch to Flushing, and proceeds to Bergen-op- Herbogten Bosch, or Bois Je Duc, Breda, Venloo, Buren - mid, and Maestricht. DIEPPE AND FECAMP.—The Presse states thet the conven tion relative to the concession of the Dieppe and Fecamp R rilroads was signed on the 13th inst., by the Minister of Public Work% and by Mr. E. Blount, of the firm of C. La ffiittP, Blount, and Co.; Count d'Alton Shee, Peer of France; H. Barbet, mayor and deputy of .Rouen; Baron Michel de St. Albin, formerly Receiver-General ; and M. Osment, banker, of Dieppe. The concession. is for the term of the Rouen and Havre. ROUEN LINE.—The traffic is one of the most respectable this season, the increase during the last few days having attained the enormous figure of 41,500 f. ; no doubt that with such results these shares must rise considerably.—Railway Chronicle. The Huddersfield and Sheffield company propose to apply in the ensuing Session to effect a junction with the Midland Railways at Dar&ld, commencing at Penistone, and passing through the richest area of coal strata via Worsborough and Silkstone. • BIRMINGHAM AND LEICESTER DIRECT.--At a meeting of the Directors just held at Birmingham, Mr. Shaw, the Chair man, stated that 180,000 shares had been applied for, when there were only 30,000 to be allotted. Mr. Purdon, the acting engineer, had, after examination of the line, reported that not only were there no difficulties of importance in the shape of inequalites, but that the line would be one of very easy construction. USK AND PONTYPOOL.—On Friday a meeting was held at Usk, Mr. E. H. Phillips in the chair, to effect the establish ment of a line between that place and Pontypool, when a a letter having been read from Messrs. Johnson, Farquhar, and Leech, the solicitors to the Newport, Abergavennv, and Hereford line, offering to make the proposed line from Usk to Pontypool, resolutions accepting the overture were passed. Influential meetings were held last week at Swansea and Llandilo, in favour of the Welsh Midla n d line. The London and Birmingham have declined any con nexion with the proposed "London and Birmingham Exten sion," and intimate that they have instructed Mr. Robert Stephenson to survey a line from Northampton to Weedon, to connect their P..terborough branch with the proposed London, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster line, to which they accord co-operation. The Brighton Company propose to extend the Brighton and Hastings line, now in course of construction, and which will be worked by them, under a lease agreement, from Lewes to the pet tof Newhaven, in continuation of the line at Keymer. A direct line between London and Gravesend On the at mospheric system is projected. The Coventry canal is to be converted into a railway to run from the Rugby and Oxford line to Coventry and Bur ton-on-Trent, there to unite with the Birmingham and Derby, and one of the projected lines to Manchester, forming a direct route from Southampton to Manchester and the North of England, giving the Great Western a direct outlet north.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 21. THE LATE REAR-AMHRAL MAITLAND.—A very beautiful white marble memorial has been placed in the chapel of this dockyard to the memory of the above gallant and distinguished officer, who presided in the office of Admiral-Superintendent in this great arsenal from 1832 to 1837, and lift behind him a reputation for benevolence, goodness of heart, and humanity towards all those placed un -er him, which will never he forgotten while a man remains in the establishment who was employed dur ing the time of his government. With other circumstances which have attached fame and honour to the name of the gallant deceased is associated one which must hand down his name to posterity, as connected with the most remarkable events of modern times ; we al lude to the fact of Napoleon having surrendered to him on board the Bellerophon, 78, after the disaitrous affair of Waterloo, when off Rochfort, on the 15th of July, 1815, as inscribed at the foot of the memorial. The work does infinite credit to the abilities and taste of the artist (Mr. T. Campbell, of Great" Marlborough-street, London), and represents, in alto rellevo the bust of the Ad miral in his unifor m beneath the folds Of a cloak. The like ness is very correct, exhibiting the staid and determined character of the officer, yet blended with that expression of kindness for which the man was so well known and beloved. he work will for years to come reaal many recollections of bygone days in the memory of very many among the arti sans of the dodyerd, who will lave it so fitquesitir btribiti Vt ( RIM 2 4tt ' e ld at tbst l o :a u tel :l , ll : C ; z . e ; ' 1 4E CO t hat IN b I' AY th e Qt L'.;tioo the Pr h :l by the C 4 47 t m other Sa t ill C6 Urt tar .Jati e. ova, * o r o i t a ti c e tet , k ad 'day% at 11 4 1' 31 . at 7, 3 : l 4V ek tt I3 baerv e "e Unica.
