RAILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD, passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter, to tin: Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall, thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by trttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or any °the.: existing, Railway. This and the proposed Line from Crewe to Derby will also well r.ccommodate the Potteries, giving t 3 that important locality a direct route to Lonlon, Birmingham, and the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East. and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal landowners from near llttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure. A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land. owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew Gaunt, Esq., Hig,hlield House, Leek; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq., Abbots Bromley, near ntoxeter. PUBLICATIONS.

Often as we have had occasion to direct public atten tion to the anomalies of that which, only by a stretch of extravagant courtesy, can be denominated " law,"—as administered by the magisterial sages of the county and the municipal bench, we have never felt more strongly called upon to discharge that duty. than by the Roches ter case, to which we devoted a para , ..fraph, headed" Ex traordinary Costs," in our paper of Wednesday last. A man is brought "before a full bench of county tragis trates" at Rochester, charged with an offence, the hei• nousness of which, no doubt, it must have required all the wisdom of the Kentish squires " in the commission' to deal with, all the forms of a petty session to give ade quate effect to the imposing ceremony of tryiEg. He was accused of" having damaged under wood to the amount of one penny, belonging to WILLIAM MASTERS SMITH, , of Canmer." It is well that posterity should be apprised of the " title, style and dignity" of the landed proprietor whose property had been thus flagrantly and extensively invaded. It is well that " Young England" should have the enthusiasm of its spirit animated by " a great face" like this, so proper to confirm its aspirations for the times when our country rejoiced in the significant ap pellation of " merry England." What an august specta• cle for the descendants of that peasantry who passed, but a century ago, even, so large a proportion of their eisure in out-door sports and athletic pastimes,—what a noble manifestation of the chivalric generosity of the Kentishmen and Men of Kent,—are presented by the trial of such a delinquent as this revived JACK CADE, this devastating " GEORGE LOFT" of Meopham. " The jud ge are ranged—a terrible show :" the case is Mated, evi dence is called, and there is damning proof that GEORGE LOFT, being instigated by the author of all evil, has " at the time, and place, and in manner articulate," corn . mitted the inexpiable trespass and damage " to the amount of one penny," by cutting and damaging the un derwood. A witness had seen him in the act. The cul• prit, overwhelmed by the enormity and irresistible proof of his guilt, acknowledges his offence. " The case is clear," (as the Alabama Judge thundered in the ear of Silas Fixings, according to the pleasant ballad of the " Alabama Duel,")—the six magistrates who have heard it adjudge LOFT to pay the damages—one penny : toge• ther with sixteen shillings costs. This is an "equitable adjustment" with a vengeance ! The civil injury is assesQed at one penny ; the costs — for the law harpies, constables, the clerk of the justices and the great unknown, who has the residuary and larger interest in these fees,—at exactly ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO TIMES as much as the d '77:ages ! That p n u o r th el ing may be ydisinterestwedanethianng character the erof dtiligentwfihedti,lehumane, proceeding,and WILLIAM MASTERS SMITH, Esq., of Canmer, the com plainant or plaintiff, the " wronged one,"—he whose rights of underwood have ben thus feloniously and des perately violated to the amount of four farthings, is stated (though this fact does appear incredible) to have been sitting all this time on Me bench. In his own per son, this " fine old Kentish gentleman," (as we imagine him to be,) is there—an unbiassed, indifferent, impar tial arbitrator, it may be, or rather (if we may judge by the sentence of the bench), over inclined to extreme forbearance and humanity towards the offender; but, as it provokingly happens, in the triune capacity of plain tiff, judge, and jury, in his own case:—a magisterial Brahma, from whose triple function and many handed clutch it was not very likely that this penny marauder should escape. So this council of six condemned the man to pay the Id. in the shape of damages, and the sixteen shillings in the shape of costs, or in default of payment to committal to the House of Correction for one calendar month. The man has not the money, the magistrates have the option, so the prison has the man. WILLIAM MASTERS SMITH, Esq., we are afraid, must now summon up fortitude enough to bear manfully the damage of his underwood, although it is thus ascer tained to amount to one penny, but he may enjoy the proud satisfaction of having provided GEORGE LOFT with subsistence for one whole calendar month, at the expense of the county, indeed, at d to be sure only on prison fare. What then? Has he not vindicated the majesty of the law 7 Has he net bravely upheld the sacred and indefeasible rights of property? We marvel at the scandalous dis content, the inexcusable surliness, with which the pauper labourer and the lower classes of husbandry regard the circumstances of their own condition in reference to those of the condition in which PROVIDENCE has placed their landlords and employers—the landed aristocracy of their neighbourhoods or districts. That these un reasonable and unreasoning industrial classes should look with a jaundiced eye upon the wealth, the posses sions, the luxury of the rich—should be prone to con sider themselves little cared for and less protected by their superiors—should be apt to consider their " natural protectors" (as these latter term themselves) somewhat more given to listen to the dictates of selfishness and the suggestions of self-interest, than the promptings of an enlightened and enlarged liberality to others, especially to the poor and unemployed around them ; all this is most surprising. What can evince a more anxious soli citude for their moral welfare, and their inflexible per severance in the habitual discipline of honesty than these visitings of criminal derelictions, even where they ex tend to the sacrifice of but one pennyworth of prepery• At the same time we are somewhat curious to know what it is that large farmers—whether tenants or free holders—and a powerful - squirearchy, who are opposed to the repeal of the corn-laws, and to every other measure of that kind which would certainly reduce the price of subsistence to the poor, and multiply the few comforts which the fiscal and political exigencies of the State have left them ; what it is they propose to them selves by the merciless straining of every penal enact ment which can be brought to bear upon offences intrin sically of the most trivial or indifferent character ? We were once weak enough to hope that Parliament would not have separated, notwithstanding the important de mands of the grouse shooting and Continental tour making at this season, without at least passing some measure to reform those statutes thus elaborately dis proportioning penalties to offences and costs to penalties, under which country justices and police magistrates " play such fantastic tricks" as make the wretches weep," and which are destined (we are firmly persuaded), at no distant day, to arouse the indignation and resentment of the public, and to replace such atrocious anomalies by some more consistent, more decent, more equitable scheme of apportioning in every case the punishment to the delinquency. There is no profession, no business, no trade, no calling, we sincerely believe, so much exposed as tha t which it is our misfortune to follow, to misrepresenta tion of motives, and misconception of opinions and prin ciples, in all cases where these happen to be adverse to the pretensions or the interests—as in many cases they necessarily must be—of some one class or other, whose sensitiveness is so extreme that the mere force of con sciousness often makes them cry out, before, even, they are so much as, intentionally, hinted at But journalism is also the most devoted of vocations. They f whose property is embarked in it are marked out for the prey of those whose honest efforts are directed to extracting a furtive property out of it. The state of the law is so anomalous, on all that regards the press, that it drops almost all the favorite presumptions in dealing with any charges that are preferred against newspapers, which it would recognize in dealing with charges against ttey class of her Nl.a.rEsTy's subjects, not connected with them. The rule being, as to all other persons, to put the most favoureble construction on motives, the ex ception is taken against owners, editors, and writers in the public papers. The absence of all equity in this invidious distinction may be illustrated by the considera tion that if an editor do not display all vigilance in announcing, as they occur, new cases of misde meanour, fratd, or other offences, of which it is necessary, either for the protection of their interests or the gratifi cation of their curiosity, that the public should be in. formed; and the most uncompromising boldness in de nouncing such delinquencies and holding up the parties who are proved guilty of them to the reprobation of the virtuous and the honest ;—that editor is rendered con temptibl,, not to say infamous, in the eyes of his coun trymen by his moral pusillanimity, If, on the other hand, he fearlessly discharge his most re. poneible and important task, and, either in the hurry of composition, or the interruptions and distractions of his business, he happen, out of a great variety of facts proved on the trial to assume one, by mistake, as proved, which was only implied, no proof upon it having been gone into, he is liable to an action for such oversight, although, in the first place, the mistake may not in the slightest degree affect the merits of the case against the party so proceeding against him, and although, in the second, the inference may be irresistible that the fact is precisely identical with the assumption. One of the most sin gular and vexatious liabilities to which an editor may subj,ct a newspaper, in the total absence of all design to give offence, and in the discharge of his habitual duty, has just been afforded by an action brought against a respectable and well-known provincial journal, under the following circumstances :—Two parties, a Mr. DEW (an estate agent in the Strand), and another halividual re siding at Bay swater, were stated, in an account given by the Times newspaper, to have been brought up before the magistrate, at the Marlborough-street police-office, charged with being concerned in an illegal negotiation for the sale of an East India cadetship, in violation of the 40th Geo. 111., which makes such a proceeding a misdemeanour. The Times report, in describing the history of the transaction (which it is not necessary here to go into), affirmed that the gentleman by whose in influence and credit it was represented, to a Mr. Coe- PARD, that the cadetship could be obtained was a Mr. SHANK, who had once been a Director of the East India Company ; and that on the production of a certain do cument, "purporting to be signed by that gentleman," Mr. COPPARD paid down 1,0501. in the nature of "con sideration money." Evidence was called to disprove this signature. The Brighton Guardian, in transferring an abstract of this report into its columns, described this result thus :—that the pretended signature of SHANK was " proved to be a forgery." Now, if the affirmative fact of a signature being genuine is disproved, it seems to us the most legitimate of all conclusions that can be jumped to, that the negative fact is thereby established. If that which purports to be the signature of A. B. is proved not to be such, the signature of A. 8., by all necessary inference, must have been forged. But the Mr. DEw, who was brought up before the Marlborough-street police magistrate, and ad mitt, d to bail, subsequently brings an action be fore a sheriff's jury, to assess damages against the publisher of the Brighton Guardian for a libel, inasmuch as this mode of stating the facts amounted to an imputa tion of forgery, which had had _the effect of seriously damaging aim in his businese. Accordingly, Mr. DEw's book-keeper was called, who deposed that his master's business connexion lay chiefly in Sussex, and that, since the lith of June, the day on which the libellous miss statement was published in the Brighton Guardian, Mr Dew's business had marvellously fallen off The busi. Less Lad, prior to that time, been worth from 1,500/. to 1.6001. a-par. "For a fortnight no letter came from Sussex." Uu his cress-examination by Mr. JAMES, this witness admitted that DEW had been three times before the police magistrate, and that, after the report in the - Times got down into Sussex, they had no more letters. He said that the business generally had fallen off—that in Sussex in particular—and that himself and Mr. Dxw's two other clerks had now not much to do except to be looked at. We fully concur in the Opinion expressed by the Learn d Counsel for the Brighton Guardtan, " that the falling off of the plain tiff's business must have been owing, not to the pub lication of the paragraph cornp!ained of by him, in the Sussex papers, but to the charge of being concerned in the illegal sale of the cadetship, for which he was taken three times be fore a police magistrate," and the de tails of which had been previously published in the Times. Now, is it not scandalous that editors of newspapers, in the honest discharge of their business, should be left, by the present preposterous condition of the law of libel, like trial targets, to be shot at (under ridicul ous pretences vv hich no man is compelled to believe, and Swiss papers of late dates have been received. Madrid papers to the 6th have arrived. The publi cation of the pontifical rescripts, nominating bishops to the vacant sees in Spain, is the subject of severe animad version in most of them. They blame the Cabinet ex ceedingly for authorising this publication, which the Tienlpo deeply deplores as a concession to the exactions of Rome. According to the Espectador, General ALCALA has been sent to Segovia, Brigadier MONTERO to GUadfl laxara, Commandant SARMIENTO Alcarzas de San Juan, and Captain SARABIA to Almaden. El Herald°, the Ministerial organ, states that a number of the inhabitants of Malaga, known to entertain revo lutionary opinions, have been arrested, and that arms and ammunition have been found in their houses. The same journal confirms the statement that M. Co- RADI and M. CALVO, the 'editors of the Clamor Publico, had been released from their imprisonment in the Fort St. Catherine at Cadiz. The brigade sent to Cuenca has received orders to march into Navarre, to be reviewed with the other troops by the Duo DE NEMOURS at Pam peluna. It was reported in Madrid that as 200 convicts were being conducted from Carthagena to the Canal of Castile, they rose upon the troops escorting them, massacred them all, hanged the commanding officer on a tree, and escaped in different directions. MADRID BOURSE.—Three per Cents., for Cash, 31i or Account, 31 9-16. Fire per Cents., for Account, 22, The Paris Papers of Tuesday have arrived. The Constitutionneland the IV ational indulge in " songs of triumph" on the result of the election of a Deputy for the Haute Soane. M. THIERRY, the personal friend of M. GurzoT, was the Ministerial candidate, and he polled only 106 votes, while his opponent, the Duc DE MuaNiEn, polled 134. All the papers indulge in long comments on the speech of Queen VICTORIA at the close of the session of Par liament. These comments are, if po.sible, even more uninteresting than the speech itself. On the subject of the suppression of the Jesuits the Constitutionnel has the following : " Although since the arrival of the orders from Rome the members of the Society of Jesuits residing in France are be coming dispersed, the houses which they inhabited are not to be sold, because the fee-simple belongs to laics who do not form part of this celebrated society. The late holders of these houses were on the point of coming to some understanding with other orders recognised in France, but they could not arrive at any definitive conclusion, as they wanted simply te let, and not to sell, their interest in them. These circum stances prove that the members of the Society of Jesus, and their adherents, regard their present position as provisional, and hope for better days." A letter from Calais, dated the 10th, states that, in consequence of a telegraphic dispatch received the day before, a courier had set out immediately for Ramsgate, from whence it was expected the Queen of ENGLAND would embark for Antwerp, and that it was conjectured he was the bearer of a letter from King Louis PRI LIPPE to Queen VICTORIA. A Toulon journal says " It is reported that General DELA RUE, who at the date of the last news was waiting for the return of M. LEON ROCHE from Paris, is again to repair to Tangiers, to enter on other nkgotiations. For some time ABD-EL-KADER has not been spoken of. It is evident that the authorities themselves are ignorant of the direction which the chief has taken in quitting the Tell, where he appears to have remained upwards of a month. The columns of the Oran division are still in the field. They cross the country in all directions, and maintain in their duty the tribes which might be inclined to again take up arms for the Emir. Some persons affirm that ARD-EL-KADER has regained the Moorish territory, whilst others affirm that he has gone towards Algeria, to place himself at the head of the Kubyles. The Moniteur Alyerien of the sth gives detailed ac counts of the operations of the army of Marshal Mt- GEAuu against the Arabs. It says that several Arab tribes have come into the French camp and made their submission. On Saturday morning several commissaries of the police of Paris and the banlieue, attended by officers, made another search at the houses of the Mires des Compagnons Charpentiars at La Villette and Mont rouge. They interrogated many of the journeymen car penters who still hold out, and six of them, on whom were found convicting papers, were arrested and con ducted to the Prefecture. The Boone was again animated on Tuesday. For the first time the shares of the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad Company were sold on the Parquet by the official brokers. An immense rise in those securities immediately took place.

The great commercial town of Miskoez, which has a population of 20,000, was submerged, the current being sufficiently strong to carry away several houses and other buildings. As the torrent came on in the night, several persons were taken by surprise, and lost their lives. All communication between Pesth and Kaschan was prevented for several days. This calamity happened on the 19 th of July, precisely the second anniversary, day for day, of the conflagration from which Miskoez suffered so severely in 1843. BOU . LOGNE.-- A young sailor of this town, named Fournier, left as cabin-boy some fur years back. He was found on the quay of Liverpool with his tongue cut out, and his arms twisted out of their sockets, and in this condition was sent home to his family. It is said that he witnessed a murder on board, and was tbus served in consequence. Neither being able to write nor speak, it is difficult to extract the truth from him.— Annotateur de 119V/5M* few or none will believe) by parties, whose " business is falling cff," whether for their amusement or their profit. The law which admits of such vexatious pro ceedings on grounds so trumpery as those which were solemnly valued by a jury, empanelled upon oath, at "one-eighth of a penny"---(the amount assessed in com pensation for the ravages alleged to have been committed by the mistake of the Brighton Guardian on a business estimated at 1,500 L or 1,600/. a-year) ; such a law must surely have been devised by, and can only be retained for the benefit of such plaintiffs and attorneys as are sometimes heard of—as derive a subsistence from invoking its latent capacities for the infliction of the most annoying and intolerable exactions on the purses of more respectable and honest individuals than themselves. Mr. COREN may reasonably consider the daa.ages against him as a verdict of honourable ac quittal ; but why should the law subject him to incur heavy costs in defending himself against such an actin n, brought under such circumstances ? In the sitting of the Diet, on the Bth instant, Berne, Argau, Basle country, and Soleure, paid to Lucerne be tween 500,000 f. and 600,000 f. for the ransom of the members of their free corps, taken prisoners. These sums were applied in indemnifying the citizens of Lu cerne for the losses they had sustained from the expedi tion. Lucerne then demanded indemnification for the expenses of the war. This demand was supported by the our small Catholic cantons who would each be bene fited by it, and they further demanded that the expenses should be borne by the offending parties ; this latter demand was resisted by the Radical Cantons, and it was ultimately arranged that the indemnity should be limited! to 130,000 francs, that Lucerne should, before receiving it, prove that so much at least had b: en ex pended, and that it should be paid , out of the Federal treasury. A letter from Soleure states that M. Lovrzcnu, a gunmaker of that town, has invented a new musket of such power that, although no larger nor heavier than an ordinary musket, and requiring no greater charge, will carry a ball through an oak plank four filches thick, at the distance of 500 feet. Another ball, fired at a dis tance of 2,000 feet, pierced a board two inches thick, struck a rock behind it, and rebounded a considerable distance. M. LOETZCHLI keeps his invention a secret, and affirms that he is able to make guns of the same size having a much greater range. ONE CLOSINti PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRECIS.

Persons keeping inns, ale-houses, and victualling houses are to apply to the justices at licensing !pi ll i ons to grant licenses at their discretion to keep billiard and bagatelle boards, or instruments used in any game of the like kind. The licenses are to be annual, for which a sum of 6s. on each is to be charged. With regard to places other than those men tioned, and which abound in the metropolis, licenses in Mid dlesex and Surrey are to be taken out after the sth of April last, and elsewhere after the 10th of October next ; and during the continuance of such licenses the words " Licensed for bil liards" shall be conspicuously exhibited. Persons keeping such places without licenses are to be considered as keepers of common gaming -houses, and proceeded against accord ingly ; and, on conviction, in a summary manner, to pay or be committed to prison. Billiards are not to be played " after one o'clock, and before eight of the clock in the morning of any day," nor on Sundays, or other days appointed to be kept as a public fast or thanksgiving. All constables and officers are emoowered to enter places where billiards or bagatelle are playedas often as they think proper, and on refusal to be ad mitted the keepers to be deemed guilty of an offence against the tenour of their licenses. THE MURDER AT LEICESTER.--An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the woman who was supposed to have been killed by her husband on Monday morning, as stated in The Sun of 'Tuesday. A verdict of " Wilful murder " against William Hubbard, her husband, was returned. The horrible affair has excited the greatest sensation in Leicester. AONE Y and COMMER.. lAL NE si S.

To British capi:al to a very considerable extent will our Colonies be indebted for such facilities. We have already observed that two most influential Companies have been established for the purpose of forming railways in Canada. We refer our readers to an advertisement which appears in another column of The Sun, and we cannot do better than quote from Simmonds' Colonial Magazine the following remarks, which bear upon the sub ject of a more rapid means of communication in the Colony. They are as follows " The head of the Deep river is about 150 miles from By town. and the remaining distance on the common route to Lake Huron by the Little and French rivers, is probably 170 or 180 miles. The distance would, however, be considerably shortened by adopting a line of road from the Deep rivt rto the south part of Lake Nipissing, near the head of the French river, which I conceive would be found the most advisable plan of communication in the outset. On this route the whole distance fro.n Bytown to the Georgian bay would not then exceed 300 miles, the head of the Deep river being nearly about half-way. " From what is stated above the route from Bytown to Lake Huron may naturally be divided into many sections, the first being the settled part along the Ottawa as far as the Deep river; and the second, from thence to the Georgian Bay, on whatever line may be adopted. I intended to have alluded more fully to the nature of the first section of the route (on the Ottawa) and. to the improvement more urgently required there; but, observing that a voluminous report from the Board of Works is forthcoming, I shall drop that part of the subject until we see what consolation the Board has in store for the lost children of the Ottawa woods. The second section of the route, across the country towards the Georgian Bay, will probably be considered beyond the l i scope of the present labours of the Board; but I think there are strong measures of improvement in that direction, and, as leisure permits. 1 may send you a few suggestions on that head ,with, perhais, some hints on a kindred subject—the survey and disposal of the new lands, where, as I conceive, improvement is no less needful than in regard to means of intercourse. It is not hard to perceive that our land system, as it works on the Ottawa, is a great settler of the un surveyed lands as well as the lumber trade."

The royal yacht, with her .Majesty on board, ancherzid in the Lower Hope on Saturday night, and at an early hour on Suoday morning raised anchor and proceeded to sea, making an excel lent passage, being cnly four hours in crossing from the Fore land to Ostend, or fourteen hours until the royal yacht an chored at Antwerp. The weather at sea on Sunday was very favourable, and her Majesty and Prince Albe. t walked on the deck of the royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht during a great part of the passage. The royal yacht was past Flushing, on her way to Antwerp, before there was any appcarance of rain. Her Majesty and Prince Albe, t did not either of them experience any sea-sickness, but evirlintly enjoyed the voyage. The vessel anchored at Antwerp at twenty minutes before six o'clock on Sunday evening; but, as was anticipated, her Ma jesty remained on board all that night and landed on Monday morning at half-past six o'clock. Previously to the return of the two pilots, it was arranged that Mr. Stuart and Air. Emmerson should hold the mselvss in readiness to proceed to Antwerp to pilot the r o y a l y ac ht f rom t h a t port di rect to t h e Isle of Wight, it being her Majesty's intention to land at the island and sojourn at Osborne House for some time after re turning from Germany. It is also intended that the excellent arrangement of only sailing by daylight should be adopted on the return of her Majesty in the royal yacht, and the Queen will leave Antwerp in the forenoon, and anchor off Flushing for the night, and then proceed next morning for the Isle of Wight. COURT CIRCULAR. DUTCH PERS. 26q 12 101/2 211v 2 138 v TEI L TTER-sORTER S. TO THE RIGHT IION. TH E EARL OF LONS DAL E, HER MAJESTY'S POST-MASTER GENERAL, The petition of the undersigned sub-sorters in the General Yost-office, Humbly showeth—That your petitioners are desirous of availing themselves of your Lordship's kind permis sion to express their grievances, with unfeigned deference to the constituted authorities of the office. That your petitioners would humbly call your Lord ship's attention to the inequality of their present scale of salary, and to its inadequacy as a remuneration for their services. That your petitioners were promoted to their present office from that of the letter carriers for their good conduct and aptness at performing the duty which has now become both onerous and re-ponsible, and they refer your Lordship with becoming pride to the fact that they have never, in any one inst lice, forfeit, d that good character, inasmuch as a criminal proechtion has never been instituted against any one of tf.eir b .dy. That your petitioners would cautiously avoid making an invidious comperisen with other officers of the esta blishment, but they cannot refrain ft out painting out to your Lordship's notice the similarity of some of their duties to those of the clel ks, and the arduousness of other duties in connexion with the letter-carriers. That when the present scale of salary was made in the year 1836 by your Lordship's predecessor, and the then secretary, Sir Francis Freeling, it was an arrangement which met with their sanction that there should be four classes, at 801., 901.,1001., and 110/. per annum, and that any subsequent increase in the sub-sorters should be equally divided on each class. Thus all had a prospect of ultimately rising to the senior class. But in con sequeuev of the number being increased from forty to one hundred and nineteen, thirty of whom are on the three higher classes, seventy-four on the 80/. class, and fifteen who act as letter-carriers on the lowest class. So that as there is little disparity in the ages of s our humble petitioners, they are precluded from ever rising above their present class after passing many years of very active service. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Lord ship to place them on a scale of salary according to their servitude ; so that each one may have the prospect of rising to a senior class everyifive years. That your petitioners' duties have increased two-fold since 1836, and that the physical labours which now devolve upon them are much heavier on account of the increased facilities eiven to the public, and the vast ex tent of the London newspaper press; the arduous duty of sorting which falls principally on your petitioners. That your petitioners humbly but earnestly seek amelioration of their excessive toil, of the injurious nature of which your Lordship may be best apprised by the fact that many of your humble petitioners are labouring under serious bodily injury which they have received in the performance of their duty, which can never be pecuniarily compen,ated, but which your Lordship may alleviate. As a peinfu . proof that ill effects arise from their labours, they b g to refer your Lordship to the bills of mortality for the last two years, and to the present sanitary state of the office. That your petitioners humbly wish your Lordship to notice, that when they are disabled by sickness or other casualties, a considerable portion of the salary is de ducted. This your Lordship will please tt ct nsider often retards their recovery and emb a r rasses the m i n their circumstances ; they, therefore, pray your Lord ship to place them in the same position as other officers under the Crown, and Brit your petitioners may have the privilege of fourteen days in the year, without de ductions, of which your L irdship will please to deem them not unworthy, after twelve months of hard service in a confined and destructive atmosphere. That your petitioners respectfully affirm that it is im possible to escape such evils under a continuation of such circumstances, they therefore humbly pray your Lord ship to grant them—first, an adequate salary equal to their years of servitude, responsibility, and tru-t; se condly, a modification of their duties, which at present exceeds their energies, and destroys belh body and mind; and lastly, that all extra duties performed by your humble petitioners be remunerated on the same principle as th a t a ll owe d t o o th er officers of the estab lish ment. 2 4 t i t .

THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST=---We rejoice to learn, that during the last few days the most favour able weather has prevailed throolgho,it the Western Counties. In Devonshire, S .mer%:etshire, and the Western Counties generally, the harvest has ni,t on!y commenced, but in many cases the crops have been safely housed. The harvest of wheat is in general abundant, and it has as yet received no pl amage f rom the weather. A week of fair weather would secure the harvest throughout ths West of England. Baron de Hugel, the \Vui temberg Minister, has left town for Dover. Sir c4eorge Cockburn had an interview with the Ear: Dalhousie, yetreray, at the office of the Board of Trzde. TUE HAGUE, A tic/. 10.—His Majesty the King arrived here yesterday afternoon from his visit to England. 3he Cycloop steamer, which landed his .%iajesty yesterday morning at its o'clock, performed the voyage from• Woolwich in sixteen and a half hours. AMSTERDAM, A tic. 10.—Accounts from Utrecht, Gro ningen, Bois-le-Duc, and other places, bring very unfavour able repot is respecting the potatoc crop. Some accounts say it is a kind of epidemic disease, which continues to spread, and to appear in different places which had hitherto been free. One acc , amt from Bois-le-Duc says that the disease is none other than a vast quantity of insects invisible by the naked eye, or rather appearing like a brown dust covering all the leaves and stems. An experienced farmer states that he has observed this phenomenon not only on his potatoes, hut en the leaves of many large trees, especially the oak and Canadian pines and poplars, all which look sickly. AMSTERDAM, Auc. 12.—The frandelsblad of this day 1 - ias an article headed " Vigilance," in which it says:— " There are reports in circulation of events said to have taken place out of Europe which seriously affect the honour and the interest of the Netherlands. Though these reports happily need confirmation, we think it the more necessary to call attention to them, as in the rai , lst of civilised Europe an event has made a great noise in which the honour and interest of the Netherlands are also impiicated, and tor which the Netherlands Government, far fron requiring reparation and satisfaction, has been content with t e most worthless evasions. We therefore consider it as our duty to notice some reports of such events, to warn the Government not to suffer itself to be imposed upon by any evasions or sophistries, when the honour and the interest of the country are concerned. The reports to which we allude relate to the conclusion of alliances and the estafilishment of factories by European Governments in parts of the Indian Archipelago, where the flag of the Netherlands is recognised by the native princes and people as that of the sovereign power. These reports state that some Englishmen from Singapore are engaged in settling as merchants oo the north-west coast of Borneo ; that the French Government has taken possess on of the Soho Islands, situated near the north east coast of Borneo; and that the King of Denmark, to indemnify himself for the loss of the establishment in the Gulf of Bengal, which he has sold to Great Britain, means to found other settlements arid forts on the coast of the island of Bahia There is no doubt that all this is at variance with the rights and claims to those islands acquired by the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch East India Company, by its moral superiority and its conquests, was everywhere celebrated and respected in the islands and continent of India. Since that time up to this day the nations of that vast archipelago have always considered it an honoor to look on the Dutch flag as that of Jan Company, under the protection of which they think themselves safe, and are fend of calling themselves Children of the Company. " It is needless to prove how the rights and claims of the 'Netherlands are founded—whether on treaties or other acts of submission; they must be raised in the eyes of all European powers. According, also, to the opinions of the most eminent British statesmen, they are also guaranteed by treaties between the Netherlands and other European powers. It is, therefore, the duty of our Government to preserve to the nation the pos sessive rights and claims which it has once required, and, in doing this, it must not delay till it receives from Java a con firmation of these reports, when it may be too late to repair all mischief. Let the Government act with dignity, and maintain the honour and interest of the nation." DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, Aug. 11. Money. Bills.
