Proposed line, being a measure of such obvious necessity, recommended also by the unanimous approbation of every Wiwi', and indeed of every parish affected by it, may well be anticipated with confidence on public grounds. If the proprietors shall think fit to direct the course of proceeding thus recommended by the directors, the public will derive the advantage of using 22 miles of railway at the earliest period, and the Company w recei a ng bene . fit in a quick an d ample ill returnve corresponding for the rum di invested, w ithout havi ng i ncurred any delay from this unavoidable alteration of the line. In finally setting out the general work s for execution, the engineer . has been enabled to intro duce many material improvements in the curves and general charact er of the line, and particularly to effect a still fur ther reduction in the gradients or inclinations. Between Bristol and Bath the railway will now consist of one con stantand regular inclination of only 4 feet per mile, or 1 in 1,320. Betwi x t L ondon and Reading, and thence to the Oxford branch, there will be no gradient exceeding 4 feet per mile, and a great part will be even at a less inclination. Th e remainder of the line is now in progress of being d e - fine d and set out, and there is every reason to anticipate similar improvements upon it. I t is expe c t e d t h at, by these ultimate arrangements, the locomotive engines on the Great Western Railway will no where have to surmount a greater inclination than 5 feet 6 in ches p er mile, and prob a bl y even l ess, t h e on l y two d e plane s o f 1 i n 107 near Wotton-Bass e t an d a t 8 " , bing worked by sta;ionary power. These very favourable gradients, unequalled upon any railway of great extent now in progress, will insure such an economy in the cost of locomotive power as materially to reduce the esti mated annual expenses, and a proportionate increase of pro fits will be received by the proprietors. They will, more "er i , greatly facilit a t e th e atta i nment of a higher speed of tra r r thee mg. Under these peculiar circumstances, and with view of o b ta i ning the full advantage of the regularity and of the redu c ti on o f power, effected by this near ap proa.ch to a level, an d a l so to reme d y several serious incon wvniences experien ce d i n ex i st i ng ra il ways, an increased width of rails has been recommended by your engineer, and, after mature consideration, has been determined upon by the director IY 8. Acuities and objections were at first supposed by some Persons to exist in the construction of engines for this in creased width of rails ; but the directors have great pleasure in stating that several of the most experienced and eminen Manufacturers of loc omo ti ve eng i nes i n t h e North have undertaken to construct them ; and that several engines are no actually contracted for, adapted to the peculiar di- Mensions and levels of this railway, calculated for a mini umvelocity o f 80 miles per hour. These engines will be t Pahle of attaining a rate of 35 to 40 miles per hour, with t h e s ame facili ty as the speed of 25 to 30 miles is gained by Se now constructed for other lines. The Bills for Railways from Bristol to Exeter, from Swindon through Stroud to Gloucester to Cheltenham, and from Merthyr to Cardiff, have received the Royal assent ; an d., the dir ectors have the assurance that all these measures "" 1 he carried into effect with the utmost vigour and des- Patch. It is almost superfluous to remark that the Great B)Western Railway Company are materially interested in the ,lecessful completion of these undertakings. A branch to "xford, and a continuation of it to Worcester, are also pro lnoted by the leading interests of those cities, and the best ex ertion s o f the Company will be devoted in co-operation with them to accomplish these objects. A statement of the Finances of the Company t o th e 30th June is now submitted to the proprietors. STATEMENT.

MONEY MARKET. -r..-- the has been a suspicion all along that the motive for the visit of the de putationof Liverpool bankers to London to confer with the Bank Directors has not been fully ex d, and and we enabled, by the courtesy of a party 'wh o is not l'k lily are now ' e to b e very wrong in ' the matter, to throw some further I t p it. It has struck every one w b°me i. who 's bes towed an' reflection uon on the subject as very strange !at the casual rejection y of a few bills, however good, at thee discout-oflice of the Bank, which is no very uncommon event, 811 °Ilid have brought up to London three gentlemen Y l kon g t h e first in wealth and consequence in Liverpool. 1111 e fact is, that they have received an impression that the i'Bank Directors intended to place under an absolute stigma, l ' to credit, seven of the most eminent houses in London, i st°,llclossible motive for which could at the same time present Dir ect to 'their minds. It arose in this way :—The Bank. ors when they created such general con kitrna,: ,on the clay . of v "on in the commercial world by throwing out the bills that they had branch Ue house s in question, naturally reflected the establishments in Liverpool and in Manchester, where 1ve.,.,, 5a1 11e bills might possibly be presented, and if they ~,,e - - , that they would certainly be discounted. Letters 14 were, therefore despatched to the managers of . those a oeh es ". ' • discount any Bills on whi ch , with instructions not to which they liad ' t ile names of any of those firms appeared th e a re ady placed under an interdict in London. How astah!",eret oozed out it is difficult to say. Probably the ee,,l.Mlnent of the managers at a denunciation which they erisia ei ved ; to be the forerunner of a terrible commercial they :4,London overcame their discretion. Some say that sce re ;',lted of it in their sleep. However that may be, the d er e; . . g°t Wind, and a deputation to London was resolve . 4 4, on a „ 4 ,, the only means, without exciting a general alarm ( tie IP the tading interest, of getting at the truth of what c nt (l e a.nk Directors really meant by this step. They have ve s , IYe l as we knew, to come to some sort of compact ; they toll,, and discreetly resolved, to say as little as 'Ni l could about it ; and are now gone back to those soseut them. 1 0 thetne expectation exists among commercial men, owing k oile str an 1 , 'e vagaries which have been practised in this l 'e t et (,111,ari'et, that a part of the discount business of the ZNtrer bankersiB Will actually be transferred to Scotland. The i"Plot. have surplus deposits which they cannot "nth net they limit their rate of discount to 4 per cent. thei • 4 4 , L in g• as a variation in the rate scarcely ever oc tll`"eir uis arises partly from a sense of justice towards :Ite haellstomers, and partly from the competition among si n ttil.'ers t hemselves.

The publication of TH E SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. ,•~~' `ry' cw 4 r t _ ; ' ,JA‘'v ~l~j~~ ~:L~`1~ a LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1836. The result of the election of a Member of Parlia ment for East Cumberland, which took place at Car lisle on Friday last, is an admirable commentary on the Tory text, which has been incessantly dinned in our ears for months past. The universal cry of the hack ney scribblers employed by that faction, which stops short at no means, however base, which it thinks can forward its purposes, has of late been that a great re action in favour of Toryism has taken place in the public mind. In Warwick one Tory succeeds another—and that oo by a pitiful majority of fifteen votes over the liberal candidate--and this hair-breadth escape is mag nified into a « glorious victory." At Newcastle the Reformers quarrel—to their shame be it spoken—and a Tory gets in by bribing the :worthless freemen—a class of voters whose want of principle the Tories could rely on, and whom they therefore preserved from destruction to help them at a pinch ; and the song of triumph is raised and re-echoed by every rapscallion in the pay, or expecting to be in the pay, of the anti national faction. The beauty of all this noise, falsehood, and folly, is that it deceives none but Tories, and but few of them. If we except the majority of the Lords. and a few other old women who confine their reading to the pages of the Times or the Herald, and know nothing of what is going on in the world but what they see there, there are not a dozen persons in the king dom who have so little sense as to believe in re action. A single fact, such as the Cumberland election, upsets the whole theory, and presents its supporters to public view in the unenviable position of being con sidered either as rogues or fools. Most of them, indeed, are well qualified, and justly entitled, to figure on the pillory in both capacities at once. But not to dwell on this consideration, we would recommend the Tories to turn their attention to Cum berland, and seriously ponder over the late transactions in that county. It will be extremely beneficial to them in more respects- than one. They will perhaps be a little surprised at the circumstance of no opposi tion having been made to the Liberal candidate in a county, they having been given to understand that all county voters were back-bone Tories to a man. It may perhaps also contribute to their astonishment to find that when Lord LOWTHER, who was said to have perfectly annihilated the Liberal inte rest in that county, was applied to to set the " hopposition bus" a-going, his Lordship, instead of shaking his money-bags, like the great Lord BUR LEIGH only shook his head--we don't know that he spoke even a single word—and if their amazement after this be capable of further augmentation, we think it will be at its height whe❑ we apprize them that Mr. JAMES, the Member chosen by the constituency to succeed Mr. BL AMIRE, is an unflinching Reformer, and has declared from the hustings, amid the loudest cheers from the electors of East Cumberland, that we never can obtain justice until the Peers are reformed ; that th,-; Protestant Church, not of but in Ireland, must be put on the peace establishment; and that the Es tablished Church in England must be yet further tried in the furnace of reform. At a public dinner given on Wednesday last, by the Mayor of Leeds to the Liberal Members for the West Riding of Yorkshire, and at which Lord MORPETII was present, Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND, in alluding to the late vagaries of the Tory Peers, said, " It is not unlikely that the question of a reform in the House of Lords will be brought forward ; and I thi n k it a l most certain that the proposed Reform will be, that the prin ciple of representation shall be applied to that House. Now I must oppose any attempt to introduce election into the House of Lords. It was the opinion of one of the greatest philosophers and statesmen of antiquity, CICERO, that of all forms of Government of which he. knew, he thought the best would be established by a w)ion of the three existing forms, the Kingly, the Aristocratical, and the Democratical. The Govern , rnent of England has for centuries been composed of those three estates ; we have had a Constitution, founded in that manner, under which we have pros pered, and for GOD'S sake do not let us, for any mo mentary disappointment, plunge ourselves into diffi culties from which we cannot see our way out." In the above passage the Honourable Baronet quotes the authority of CICERO in justification of the course of conduct which he intends to adopt, with respect to the question of Peerage Reform ; which is just as great an absurdity as was that of the Archbishop of TUAM, who, it may be remembered, quoted MOSES, a few years since, in the House of Lords, by way of precedent for his opposition to Catholic Emancipa tion I What, in Heaven's name, has CICERO to do with the British Constitution ? What authority can he be with us, who live in times such as he, with all his foresight, never could have anticipated ? The world in which we exist, is no more the world of which he was the leading oracle, than the Lord LYNDHURST of to-day is the Lord LYNDHURST of sixty years since. But, granting the Ciceronian theory to be right.— namely, that the balanced form of Government is the best suited for the interests of a nation, will Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND pretend to say that this theory applies to our Constitution—that ours is a ba lanced form of Government ? It may be so in fiction, but it is diametrically the reverse in fact. For look at the power claimed and exercised by the House• of Lords lls it not—and has it not ever been—predo minant in the Legislature, except indeed on the single question of the Reform Bill, where it yielded the point, solely as a matter of personal courtesy to the SOVE REIGN ? The Commons may talk of their authority— the KING, too, may talk of his authority; but it is in the hands of a hundred and seventy Tory Lords that all substantial power is lodged ; and there it will continue to be lodged, until the people actively bestir themselves, and insist on having a Constitution balanced in reality, not in imagination. We are, therefore, strenuous advocates for a Reform in the House of Peers. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND may tell us we are wrong, and Mr. BAINES may enunciate a pom pous ditto to Sir GEORGE ; but sophistry is not ar gument, and sophistry is all that these gentlemen have yet put forth upon the subject. In another part of The Sun of this day will be .ound a letter addressed by Mr. O'CONNELL to our indefatigable and right-minded weekly contemporary, ;be Spectator. In this letter the Hon. and Learned Gentleman again, for the third time, states his con viction—founded on the result of the late Newcastle Election—that the majority of the English people are more indiiTerent to the interests of Ireland, than they ought to be ; and then, passing from this ungracious theme, proceeds to read Ministers a long and animated lecture, in the course of which he conjures them, as they value their own characters as Statesmen, to take up as the watch-word of their policy, " Reform of the House of Lords." We like this portion of DANIEL'S epistle. It is frankly and manfully writ ten. R►ghtly does Mr. O'CONNELL say, " One way or the other, the fight must be carried on. The Lords have already begun on their part. If the Ministry desert the people in this crisis, revolutionary dangers will necessarily occur —nay, a violent revolution is, in my opinion, inevitable. The people cannot much longer endure aristocratic despotism." So says every really honest Reformer throughout the country. Madrid Papers to the 27th ult. have been received. The capital was then undisturbed by faction, and the two Queens in the enjoyment of excellent health. On the 23d, the third and fourth regiments, distinguished for their doings at San Ildefonso, marched for the north, but not before they compelled General SEOANE to pay them all the arrears due to them. The Cabinet is still incomplete, and a distrust of the Government continues to lurk in the minds of the people. The French Papers of Friday and Saturday have been received. Their contents are of no political im portance. Copious extracts from them, relating prin cipally to the rumours in circulation on the all-engros sing subject of the Ministry, will be found in another part of this Journal. Lours PHILIPPE begins to find that Cabinet-making—even with the aid of the finest edged tools, and the amplest stock of materials upon which to work—is after all, a very troublesome business. Conditional adhesiveness is the most that can he obtained where his MAJESTY expected no thing but the prostration of every principle and feeling to his sovereign will. This is certainly enough to irritate a less irascible personage than the King of the FRENCH. But till the Cabinet is really formed it is useless to recapitulate here the various rumours noticed in our extracts from the French Journals. German and Brussels papers have been received. Extracts from them are given in another part of The Sun. The accounts from Greece are favourable ; the country was more than usually tranquil, and impatient for the return of King OTHO. The Leipsic Journal contains the following significant communication from Constantinople, dated the 3d ult.:-- " During the last week Prince Vogoridis has been several times to the Palace of the Porte, and had many interviews with General Butenieff, who is said to have received, by a courier from St. Petersburgh, the opinion of the Russian Court on the dispute between the Boyars and Prince Stourdza, and com municated it to the Reis Effendi. According to the reports in circulation here, the Emperor is exceedingly displeased with the conduct of the Boyars, and has expressed his dissatisfac tion in a note to the Porte. With respect to Prince Stourdza, the note is stated to express regret that that able Prince had not prevented such intrigues. The Russian Government con cludes by proposing to the Porte to threaten the Opposition most seriously with the most extreme measures (the entrance of Russian or Turkish troops to maintain the authority of the Prince's government), and hence the agreement of the two Courts on this subject is manifest. " The Porte has fully approved the proposals of the Russian Government, and made all necessary communications to Prince Stourdza through Prince Vogoridis. M. Von Ruskmann, the Russian Consul-General, has received orders from General Butinieff to intimate to the Opposition that its proceedings are disapproved by both Powers." . itELGI AN 1 UNDS—BRUSSELS, SEPT. 2.

General MINA was then so seriously ill that his life was despaired - of by the physicians who attended him. His health had been long declining, and for several months past, he was for weeks together confined to his apartments. His death, at the present juncture, would seriously affect the triumph of the Spanish nation. The report of the Select Committee to which the Swiss Diet referred the late bombastic note of the Duke de MONT EBELLO—threatening - the hermetical blockade of the Republic, if the Federal Government continued to afford sanctuary to French and German political refugees —was received by the Diet in its sit ting of the 29th ult. The Journal du Commerce pronounces it a model of reserve, of firmness, and of dignity. It is unquestionably a most able document. M. MoNNA4D, the reporter of the opinions of the Committee, has placed them in the noblest light before the world. The report repels with indignation the charge of neglect of duty preferred against the Swiss police by the French Ambassador. It states that the plots and conspiracies of which the refugees were ac cused were hatched at Paris—under the very eyes of th e French Government—and not, as was alleged, in the mountains of Switzerland. " Although Swit zerland," says :the report, " may constrain such foreigners who by their acts betray their crimi nal intention, she cannot do the same by those whose designs are simply suspected 9f being more or less connected, in intentions and hopes, with crimes attempted in France. • Switzerland, in virtue of the Conclusion of August 23d, will take measures against such foreigners as are found to be guilty upon established proof ; but her police will never search into men's consciences for their intentions, nor can her tribunals punish hopes. The Duke de MONTEBELLO does not sufficiently respect the legitimate susceptibility of Switzerland, when he supposes a case in which she will fail in her international duties. The Confedera tionreplies, that its k nows i ts d ut i es w i t h out be i ng reminded emiiiddof them, and performs them without being 0 called to do so. Therefore she cannot allow others to assume to themselves the right of doing justice upon refugees conspirin g in Switzerland, or of putting an en d to the tolerance she exercises. The Diet will re pel with the utmost energy such a violation of the federal sovereignty, relying upon the rights of a sove reign independent State, and upon the support of the whole nation." Letters from Bayonne of the 30th ult. complain loudly of the conduct of the French Government, and Authorities, respecting the British Legion. The writers publicly tax the French Authorities with not orily openly receiving deserters from the Legion fur nished with Carlist passes, but likewise with encou raging the desertion of the English auxiliaries. They further state that by the French Authorities on the frontier, nothing is more desired than the total;discom fiture of the force commanded by the Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster. Lest it should be supposed that we write without having read with sufficient care the correspondence to which we allude—affecting as it does the honour and the sincerity of the French Government and people—we copy the following pas sage from the Bayonne correspondence of a Ministerial Morning Contemporary. The letter from which it is taken is dated the 30th ult., and appears, for the first time, in the Chronicle of this morning : " But let us come to the main point—namely, the fact of the late French. Government having directed their officials to assist Dell Carlos in weakening the British Legion. It amounts to this, look at the matter in what light you will. The French may or may not be sincere in their alliance with the Spanish Government; that is not my business here to in quire. That they have hitherto acted in the spirit of cordiality and good feeling, in regard of the British troops in Spain, that we have given them credit for, I most positively deny. In every possible way has an un-English feeling been exhibited,—in fact, so strong is its daily exhibition here in all quarters, that I firmly believe, if this evening were to bring intelligence of the force under General Evans having been cut to pieces, almost universal satisfaction would prevail. Strong in an anxiety for a bone fide alliance between Great Britain and France, and taking impressions from a quarter whose greatness has been principally effected by British wealth, it is not unna tural that the eyes of a London politician should be blinded to the fact. But place him in the situation of judging from things as they realty arc—send him for instance, here, where a train of circarnstances hourly brings England and the Eng lish on the tapis of conversation—and if he remain a week un• convinced that the people of France are not. sincere in desiring that the two countries should present a united. front to the rest of Europe, I shall be astonished. Wherever misrepresenta tion can derogate from or unworthy insinuation taint, the cha racter of the English nation, come it from what source it mav, it is ever at hand. Here at this moment both work with fear ful vigour, and, as the nearest subject for the trial, the un fortnnate British Legion are everlastingly assailed." Upon this statement we shall offer no opinion till we see whether it will attract the notice of our Parisian Contemporaries. We trust that circumstances will prove it unfounded. Undoubtedly 'such assertions ought not to be hazarded at random. DECLINE OF Yonic RACES.—A few years ago these races were the most attractive in the kingdom, the two meetings boasting eleven day s ' rac i ng ! now t h e two meetings with difficulty furnish four day.f sport !

During the representation of Oberon at the Opera, at Vienna, a short time since, a false alarm of fire was raised, which created the greatest confusion, but fortunately no acci dent occurred of a serious nature.

The false alarm was raised by some tions. pickpockets i n or d er to f ac ili tate t h e i r depreda- The Rev.

The Parisian Press is now full of life ; and it is evi dent that the struggle carryin g . on in the King's closet, and in political circles, is also waged - by the same hands in the arena of the Press. A man residing in the Ciaddsgh, Galway, had his thirty-eighth child baptized on Monday ! PARIS, SEPT. 3.—M. Sauzet :nukes haste to fill up the THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 153 vacant offices in the Courts of Justice and Tribunal. Three enormous Ordinances and two shorter ones, containing. such nominations, fill the 111oniteur of this morning. La Paix is the only journal that believes the formation of the Cabinet to be near at hand. It says,--" The Ministerial interregnum seems to be drawing to an end. It is reported this evening that the difficulties which had arisen are nearly removed." Several journals have pretended that the formation of the Cabinet was delayed by serious differences or questions of do mestic policy. We believe that these journals are quite ill informed. The point which still divides the men who are called upon to enter into the new combination relates only to the manner in which the offices shall be distributed. La Paix will permit us to believe in the correctness of our information respecting the causes which have hitherto pre vented M. Guizot from entering the Cabinet ; they are be sides more honourable to his friends, than paltry discussions respecting the manner in which the several diplomatists shall be distributed. The Journal des Debats does not participate in the hopes of La Pair, and several Journals are likewise of opinion that the arrival of Marshal Soult is waited for. A telegraphic despatch has brought news of Marshal Soult. He has received the King's letter, an d can obey its orders. His son, the Marquis of Dalmatia, is to arrive at Paris to morrow (the 3d). , It seems difficult, in this state of the case, to decide anything before the arrival of the Marshal. His age, his situation, and the appeal made to his zeal, do not permit us to suppose that the King will adopt any arrange ment till he has heard his opinion. We therefore think ti at little importance is to be placed on the several reports in cir culation. We h'ave often said, and we repeat it, the Marshal is waited for. His influence in the army is considerable, and many circumstances may make it seem advisable to employ him.--Journal du Commerce, Sept. 3, FRENCH FUNDS.-Partis, SEPT. 2.

Gentlemen, our chief retrospect at the close of the present Session must consist in bervailingthe untimely fate of slaugh tered Bills. And I can imagin e my Lord Lyndhurst retiring to his couch, like the tyrant on the eve of the battle of Bos worth-field, and seeing the grim array of mangled measures arise before him, scaring his slumbers and banishing his slee" —( Vide Lord M orpet h' s S peec h a t L eeds.— Chronicle of this. Morning.) T'other night as with Tory phrenzy fired, Lord Lyndhurst to his couch retired, Anxious, no doubt, in balmy rest To still the tumult of his breast, lie dropped asleep, when lo ! there rose Such visions under his lordly nose, So grim —so formed to make one quake, That the thought on't gives me the stomach-ache. He dreamed the ghosts of the Bills he'd slain Howled in his ear like a hurricane, Taking strange forms, as fancy's crew In slumber are very apt to do ; One sat on his chest ; one shaped like Dan, Belaboured the conscience-stricken man, With a lively, well-built, nine-tailed Cat, That well became this brawny Pat : One rung an alarum in his cars Of " Down with the factious Tory Peers l" One seized him roughly by the head, And made him an " alien" from his bed; And one with a face of sternest hue ( An un-emancipated Jew) Talked of " de monish" years since due, And, what's worse, talked of payment too. Scared at the sight of these grisly forms All ominous of impending storms, And threatening each, with determined phiz, Downright destruction to him and his, Lord Lyndhurst woke, and with a scream, Exclaimed, " Thank God, 'twas but a dream 1" But so fraught (and he swore an oath) with pain, That I never will sleep alone again. COURT CIRCULAR. Count d'Aglic, the Sardinian Minister; M. Galvao, the Brazilian Minister ; and the Turkish Minister, transacted busi ness on Saturday at the Foreign-office. Mr. Chinnery, the bearer of the presents to his Majesty from the Nuwaub of Moorshadabad, had an interview with Viscount Melbourne on Saturday in Downing -street. Lord Fitzroy Somerset had also an interview with his Lordship. Lord Glencig left town on Saturday for Tonbrige Wells. WINDSOR., -SUNDAY. Ilis Majesty rode in his pony phaeton on Friday to the Flemish and Norfolk farms, accompanied by Sir William Fre mantle. The Queen rode on horseback, accompanied by Lady Clinton, the Earl of Errol, Sir A. Barnard, and Sir H. Sey mour, in the Great Park and forest rides. Yesterday his Majesty rode out in his pony phaeton in the morning; and about two o'clock the King and Queen, and Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, in the first carriage, fol lowed by four other carriages with the Royal suite, and an equestrian party, went to Virginia Water; the foot band was in attendance ; and in the evening returned to the Castle to dinner. The Princess Augusta was slightly indisposed in the middle of the week. This morning the Rev. Mr. Gosset performed divine service in the Castle to their Majesties and household. ------ , The Duke and Duchess of CarnbridE, , e, with their family, returned to Hanover on the 25th ult., from their visit to the Margravine of Hesse Hombcrg at Rumpenheim. The Duchess of Gloucester passed through Bonne on the 27th ult., on her way to England. The Earl of Buckinghamshire is entertaining a select party of friends at his scat Hampden House, Bucks. The Earl of Wilton and party landed at Liverpool, from his yacht Xaqa, and set off for Heaton Hall, near Man.; chester. The Earl of Minto and the Board of Admiralty are expected to pay an official visit to Kingstown and Cork, before the close of their tour. Mr. Coke entertained a patty of distinguished sport ing friends, including the Marquis of Tavistock, on Thursday last, at Holkham Hall. Lord and Lady Seymour, after passing some days at Bath, have proceeded on a visit to their Noble relatives the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, at Berry Castle, Devon. The Duke of Beaufort has bought a mansion in Belgrave-square, and the Earl of Kingston one in Chesbarn place, for their future town residences. The return of his Excellency General Sebastiani to resume his diplomatic duties here was fixed to take place the beginning of the present month, but owing to the dissolution of the French Ministry, he is not expected so soon from Paris. On Tuesday last the General had a long audience of the King of the French at the Tuileries. George Robins has announced two very important estates, exceeding in value one hundred thousand pounds, to be sold at the Plough Hotel in Cheltenham, early in October. We presume his object for offering such an immense property in the country, in preference to the Auction Mart, arises from a supposition that East Indian capitalists, who are sojourning at this highly-favoured watering-place, with a view to prolong their lives by improving their health, may do so most effec tually by purchasing either Temple Guiting or Abberley. The Spanish Envoy at Brussels and his Secretary have notified to the Belgian Government, that they have re signed their functions because they will not take the Oath of the Constitution of 1812. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 30.----A letter from Antwerp of August 31, says, " The result of the commerce of our port for the month just past, has been favourable. The number of ships was inferior to that in 1835, btt the amount of tonnage was greater. Hitherto, besides, the importations from Eng land have been made chiefly by English ships. During the month of August we have had two ships to one. MUNICH, AUG. 27.—The Members of the Ge neral Iron Railroad Committees now here, have had to-day an audience of the King, who received them in the most gracious manner, and expressed his approbation of their undertakings, which will meet with no obstacle, on the part of the Go vernment. The homceopathies are said to be performing great cures in cases of cholera at Vienna, by means of their veratrum. This remedy, if employed in time, it is said, never fails of its , effect.

GortHAMBURY.—The shooting season having commenced, company began to arrive last week, and this day, or to-morrow, the mansion is expected to be full. The Earl and Countess of Verulanj will display their usual magnificent hospitality. A phenomenon of a most extraordinary description excited the consternation of the rural inhabitants of Twembury on Tuesday, the 23d ult. It appeared in the form of a dense mass or column of vapour, agitated by a strong whirling cur rent of the atmosphere, by which it was propelled near the surface of the earth with fearful velocity, apparently tending to produce destructive effects. Passing. over the fields of reaped corn, it scattered the sheaves through the air in all directions, and would, no doubt, have caused considerable injury to cattle or human beings, had its course of movement brought it in contact with such' objects ; but, fortunately, its progress was interrupted by more formidable obstacles, and its force dissipated without any disaster of this sort occurring. The movement of this humid phenomenon was accompanied with a loud. whizzing sound, and, as stated by some occasion ally emitted luminous fiery sparks; but this latter appearance g was no doubt a n ill us i on o f v i s i on , arising from thereat fin_ pulsive power by which it was kept in motion.---,,S'herborne Journal. h outrun co the Mr. Charl es Y oun g, tragedian, is in Pa r i s .

All the inspectors and serjeants of the F division have been suspended, their duty being performed by some of the A division. UNION-HAL L. THE LATE FIRE AT LONDON BRIDGE.—STEALING MR. WIL SON'S GOLD WATCU._An elderly looking man, who stated his name to be John Donovan, and his employment that of a labourer, was brought this morning before Mr. Trail, charged with stealing the gold watch belonging to Mr. Wilson, the grocer, whose house was burnt to the ground at the late cala mitous fire at London Bridge. The prisoner, in his capacity of labourer, was employed with others to clear away the rub bish at Mr. Wilson's house. William Stanley stated that he had the management of the business of Mr. Wilson, who was at present - lying in a dan gerous state at St. Thomas's Hospital. That gentleman's premises in Wellington -street, London Bridge, were totally destroyed by the late fire on the 29th of last month. The gold watch, chain, and guard produced was Mr. Wilson's, and was in that gentleman's possession previous to the fire. Mr. Willis, a bricklayer, stated that he was employed by Mr. Wilson to look after the property found in the ruins of the house. On Saturday last he engaged the prisoner at 18s. a • week, together with several other labourers, to clear away the ruins and rubbish, stating at the same time to those he em ployed, that for all property found and given up to him, they would be remunerated, and desiring them particularly to make diligent search after the gold watch of Mr. Wilson. This. morning, about half-past 8 o'clock, witness observing the pri soner go off from his work, inquired where he was going; he made ,some evasive answer, and then went back to his work. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was taken into custody by a police constable, who took the property now produced away from him. Henry Peckton, a police constable of the M division, said that he was on duty at Mr. Wilson's house for the purpose of overlooking the labourers employed to clear away the rubbish there ; he observed the prisoner stoop to pick up something, which he put into his pocket, and then went away, leaving the ruins, through one of the arches of London-bridge. Wit ness followed him, and on coming up to him he asked him what he had in his pocket, to which he replied, Nothing ; he then searched him, and found upon him the watch now produced. Mr. TRAILL inquired what the prisoner had to say to the charge. The prisoner said it was his intention to carry the watch to Mr. Wilson. Mr. TRAILL did not believe a word that' the prisoner bad said ; he had no doubt it was the intention of the prisoner to steal the watch, and therefore he should fully commit him fur trial. The watch, which was a valuable one, and jewelled in eight holes, was very much injured. THE FUNDS. -(THIS DAY. C/7' Y, 7 '1 V ELVE O' C L GK.
