This important line, the only one having for its ohjeet the direct Communication between South Wales, Birmingham, the Midland CDOLIO69.

At liewdley there will be a Branch Line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the Mid land Counties. Refere•bee — io the map will show that three projected Railways converge at Hereford, viz :—The South Wales line from the coast, at "liew - , A ort, vie Monmouth ;I th e B r i s t o l li nes f rom Bristol, over the Boxern • and the Great Eastern and Western from Swansea, by way el,' Merthyr and Abergavenny. This grand trunk will, therefore, sonnet with the North and Central portions of the kingdom, by the nearest practicable route, Bristol, the West of England, and the whole of South Wales, containing n vast population and extensive iron, copper, tin-plate, and coal works, numerous and important Porte, including Milford Haven, and the Government Dock-yard, and ceneentrate to itself the great Passenger anti Goods traffic now conveyed by various circuitous routes to and fro. 'This line, too, will unite the Iron districts of South Wales with • thaw of Staffordshire and Shropshire. Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beautiful scenery of South Wales and the various watering-places will add considerably to the passenger traffic on this line. more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods traffic, arising from the extensive connexion existing between South Wales and the important-termini, conveying, as this communication the various productions of iron, copper, coal, tin plates, &c. to the nortli, and woollens, cotto ns , salt, h ' erdware, pottery ware, -cattle, and agricultural produce, required for the several counties, districts, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward ; with the advautage of delivery in a few hours, free from the risks and delays *ea s e a voyage, and at one-third the distance. 'ate conveyance of coals to the ci unties through which these lines Ten will also be a means of conglderable and increasing revenue ; whilst the supplies to the barren districts of the iron works of agri cultural produce will add to the profit, as well as unite by ties of Mutual interest the agricultural and commercial community. By means of this projection, portions of the kingdo.n not so pro vided by any ether scheme, will participate in the advantages of railway communication; any. it will also form hereafter, with other railways about to be colr.".nenced, the nearest route to London for a very extensive porti.sn of the country. Founded on lte principle of direct and comprehensive communica tion with di',iant parts of the kingdom, this line will be the most complete 1n the entpire, and, carried as it can and will be, in almost a strikiit line, meat thus secure itself for the future against the com petition of any Neal projection. At the sane time every regard has been had to local accommode tion, and the closest scrutiny will convince those who know the wants end requirements of the towns and districts embraced within ifs sce;ie, that this has been most amply provided for. tntil an Act of Parliament shall be obtained; the affairs of the etwipaukv shall be under the management and control of the Coin patio, of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into scn etrraagetnents as shall best serve the interests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies; and to raise widitional capital, if required, to extend this line ; and also to nomi nate the first Directcirs of the Company.

We have blaMed Sir It. PEEL for not urging the question on at an earlier period, knowing well that he would be backed by the whole of tae Liberal party of all shades of politics, and supported, too, by not a few o f his own adherent s . P oss ibl y be thought the Maynooth question, the Irish Colleges Bill, and the•new tariff quite enough for one session, and did not wish to presume too much on the pliancy of the agricultural repre sentatives. Possibly, seso, he saw that the tide was turning, that the landlords, . who complained of low prices for wheat, and every other species of grain, were beginning to open their eyes to the folly and wicked ness of monopoly, and that, in a very brief period, they would be more willingly led into the right path. We are, therefore, not disposed to pass strictures on his dilatory conduct, partly because he had a very obstinate class to deal with, and partly because he had fairly begun the free trade system, by reducing the duties on many necessaries of life, and thereby could exhibit to them facts which no reasoning, no bigotry, no blindness, in short, could gainsay. Some of these facts are already admitted by the monopolists, and they gaze at them as at the works of an enchanter. While the sliding scale has been preserved in all its integrity, while American flour and Odessa wheat are all but prohibited by its absurd regulations, while the landlords have been relieved of many taxes, and the agricultural farmers LaVe no reason to complain that they are more burdened by the income-tax than others, are they in a prosperous condition ? Has the sliding scale benefited them? Are they not, on the eon trarv, convinced that it has done them incslculdble mischief, that it has prevented leases—that it has not raised the price of grain, or, if raised it at all, only • for the benefit of corn-dealers and corn-speculators, and that there can be no security for them till the whole question is thoroughly investigated, and such a settlement adopted as shall prevent all further legislation on the subject. Even these facts, conclusive as they are, give only one . view of the case. When the impost on foreign cattle was reduced, a universal terror seized the graziers; the apostate PEEL had ruinedthem ; the country would be inundated with oxen, and sheep, and calves, from Belgium, and Holland, and Prussia, and even Spain ; butchers' meat would be sold at half the usual price, and agricultural shows—even the Great Smith field Cattle Show—would soon be nip bered among the things that were. What l zr..s been the result ? Though foreign cattle itave been imported to an extent hithtlio unknown, though some fifteen thousand b7iail of cattle, independent of sheep and other aniMils for consumption, have been imported within the year from only one country, the price of butchers' meat has bee* rising, and is now too high fur the use of all that portion of the working classes who are not in full and good employment. Corn has fallen with a high duty, and cattle have risen with a low duty—a duty, in fact, so small, that it can hardly be taken into account when calculating the value of a pound weight. Cannot the farmers, or rather the selfish land owners, see the real cause? It is nothing else than the pros perity of the manufacturing districts, the best market, after all, for our agricultural produce. Little more bread is used now than when times were worse, because without bread or potatoes, the prices of which mutually affect each other, the very lowest population could not subsi s t ; b ut when trade revives, when the British manu facturers can compete with foreigners nay, undersell them, the wages o f t h e labourer are raised, and: he is enabled to pur chase, which the h in high price of b u t c h ers ' meat, animal f , od, from poverty he is totally de barred. Thi s i s the real secret and it is, theretre, needle. : tot a ttribute it t o d ef i ciency of fodder, or t o any other cause. it r ises because th ere i s a demand for it, an d t h at demand isa prosperity which t h e advocates of entirely by th at c mo no their way, would en ti re l y destroy, neePcr as cause had cannot prosper when the manufacturing classes are d ess e s intevest and the wer-being of both is as i nt i mately ted cause and effect. The mere provident and sensible Tories , LON DON, begin to see the question in its proper light. Corn-law associations have become like country meetings, a "farce." The League at every agricultural meeting is more praised than blamed; nay, the very landlords themselves, witness Captain Rocs and others,: are calling out for a radical change. The time, in fact, has arrived, and we doubt not Sir Ronairr PEEL will make good use of the opportunity next session. We have received the Madrid journals of the 13th and 14th !wt., from which we learn that the QUEEN arrived rather unexpectedly in the capital on the evening of the 13th, about seven o'clock. The guns of course were fired, to the great aln m of the inhabitants, who believed another outbreak had taken place, but on learning the cause, they flocked in great crowds to the Pala s ce, to welcome her MAJESTY'S return. All the Ministers next day proceeded to Court, to pay their respects to the QUEEN, and remained a long time in con ference with her MAJESTY. NARVAEZ is indisposed. On his arrival all the military bands gave him a long serenade. M. TRIERS has left Madrid for Grenada, in the diligence. The Herald() states that a conspiracy has been discovered at Alicant, organised by a cousin of ZUREANO, but it was crushed by the vigilance of the autholities. Several persons had in consequence been arrested. No business was done on the Bourse on Saturday, the 13th. According to some of the Paris papers, an association of a most diabolical character had just been discovered in the cantons of. Neufchatel, in Switzerland. It is said to be the work of" Young Germany," and has for its objects the over throw of religion and royalty, by the dissemination of atheis tical doctrines and the murder of sovereigns. The Courtier Suisse, of the 16th, published in the Pays de Vaud, gives the following account of this new club, which we are inclined to think is much exaggerated :—" Some arrests recently made in a small town of the canton of Neufchatel, and the avowals obtained of the individuals thus captured, have led to the de tection of a vast plot organised in Switzerland by the members of Young Germany' association. The present e ell, re of the as sociation is Lausanne, but Berne, Zurich, Bale, Geneva, and 24 other minor towns, have lodges of the same conspirators. It is also affirmed that there are Gelman clubs connected with the society in several towns of Frarce, including Stras burg and Marseilles. The object of the association, as is clearly proved by the writings and correspondence of the leaders, and the disclosures just obtained, is to effect the sub version of the religious, political, and social organisation of Germany, and, successively, that of the other states uf Eu rope, by the preaching of atheism, the gradual demoralisa tion of the people, and, if need be, the assassination of public functionaries. The principal leaders are HERMANN DOLLESE, of Erfurt, a public teacher in the canton of Vaud, and formerly a teacher of languages in Neufchatel; Max HOFF3IANN, a Ba varian pharmacian ; WILHELM MARE, late editor of a German anarchic paper, called the Journal of the Clubs, and who is not only surnamed by the men of his party 'Robespierre,' but also adds that name to his signature • JULIUS STANDAW, of Gotha, professor of German at th e bollege of Chaux-de- Fonds, in Neufchatel. This adventurer has been arrested there, and expelled, with four of his associates, from the ter ritory of the Swiss confederacy, where he had lived as an emigrant for five years. past. The authorities have been justly alarmed at the active :and crafty perseverance with which these propagandists have enlisted under their banner &considerable number of the twenty to twenty-five thousand German workmen established in the several cantons of Switzerland. Mana's hideous journal had latterly procured as many as five hundred subsc r ib ers among t h em. ' The domestic intelligence in the Paris papers is not of much interest. Conservatism, however, appears to be the order of the day. Nearly all the late elections have gone in favour of the Gnizor Ministry, and even the Radical city of Lyons is following the example. M. DESPREZ, a Conservative, has just been elected Deputy by the third college of that place in the room of M.FuLatitiost, raised to the Peerage. He had a majority of 142 votes. M. ETIENNE BLasic, one of his opponents, had 25, and 111. CESAR BERTHOLON, the other candidate 10. The Royal Family con tinue their excursions in the environs of Eu and Treport. The KING, from all accounts, takes much exercise. On Thursday his Majesty, with the Queen, Madame Adelaide, the Duchess &Attitude, the Pri nce and Princess of Saxe oburg Gotha, the young Prince of Wurtemburg, and the Prince and Princess de Salerno, accompanied by the Minister of the Marine, General d'Houdetot, Colonel Dumas, the Marquisses de Strada and Brancaccio, the t refect of the Seine Inferieure, Baron Fain, MM. Fontaine and - Caill6ax, two orderly officers, and several ladies of the Court, went in carriages to '!'report. '1 he royal party went on to the fort to enjoy the view of the sea, which was greatly agitated. At two o'clock they returned to the Palace, which his MAJESTY soon after again left in a carriage, attended by General d'Houde tot, and MM. Courtois d'llurbal and Brabant, and drove in the park as far as Mancheville and the plain of Etalande till half-past five o'clock. The KING, according to the Courrier de Nantes,- has ordered to be built in the yards at Indret a small yacht, of so light a draught of water that it may be able to enter any of the ports of Normandy. She is to be- called • the Passe Portout. When her Majesty of ENGLAND therefore again visits Treport, she will have no occasion to land in a bathing machine. The Duke DE MONT PENSIER, on leaving Greece, is to perform quarantine at Malta, and thence proceed to Naples. The following are extracts from the continental papers - ' 4 The Augsburg Gaze•te qUotes a letter of the 11th, from Berlin, stating that, accordii►g to accounts received there from St. Petersburg, the Emperor Nicholas, after inspecting his fleet in the Black Sea, intended to take a voyage in the Mediterranean, and join the Empress, should she prolong her stay in Sicily. Colonel Wolff, who brought the news of the capture of Largo, was immediately promoted to the rank of general, and attached to the suite of the Empress. •• ♦Ve learn from Posen that the Catholic inhabitants of that city have sent a deputation to Berlin,- with a petition to the King of Prussia, for the appointment of a Commission to investigate the causes of the serious disturbances which occurred at Posen on the 28th and 29th July. " A Constantinople letter of the 3d informs us that the Grand Admiral Raid I'acha Is appointed Minister of Commerce, Mustapha Nuri Pacha, Governor of Brussa, and Said Paella, who has long lived retired, is named a member of the Council of the Empire.

A special meeting of the Proprietors in this Company was held this day in the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of receiving the sanction of the Shareholders to the transfer of the Line to the South-Western Company. R. S. Mangles, Esq., M.P., was in the chair. The SECRETART having read the advertisement calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that they had that day met for the single object expressed in the advertisement, namely, to get the sanction of the Shareholders to the transfer, they having already received the authority of the Act of. Parliament for that purpose. The Chairman then proposed a resolution to the above effect. Mr. 3ionE seconded the resolution, which was accordingly passed. The Custaxas then said that as the formal part of the business was over, he might inform the meeting that the sum to be received from the South... Western, would be paid over before the Ist October—. (Hear, hear)—and from the estimate which had been made of the money expended, he might promise them not only the 351. per share paid up, but 31. of a surplus. Mr. SELLS _ thought that some remuneration either of iipecuniary or complimentary character should be given to the Directors for the tim e they had devoted, and the attention they had shown to the affairs of the Company. After a few words from Mr. Bane, The CHAIRMAN intimated that as another meeting would be neces sary, the subject might then be taken into consideration. The meeting then broke up. BRIGHTON, LE WES and HASTINGS RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY). A meeting of the Proprietors of this line of railway was held to day at the Company's offices, King William-street, City ; Mr. Nash in the chair. The usual formalities having been gone through, The SECRETART read the report cf the Directors, which in sub stance was a recommendation to sell and transfer the line to the London and Brighton Company at a premium of U. per share. The Directors strongly urged the propriety of adopting such a course. Resolutions in favour of such an agreement havlu4 been come to, and a vote of thanks given to the Chairman and Directors, the meet ing broke up. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY-( l'lllS DAY.) A meeting of the Proprietors of this line of railway was held to-day, at two o'clock, at the Company's offices, Dean-street, Tooley street, Borough, the Hon. Captain Hothain In the chair. The business for which the meeting was convened was simply to affix the common seal of the Company to the deed of conveyance ced to at the special general meeting, held the sth of August last, for the transference and sale of the line to the London Brighton Railway Company, and also to agree to the creation of 64,000 new shares of 50/. each to carry out the extension of the line to Portsmouth with a branch to Fareham, pursuant to an Act of Parliament obtained last session. The resolutions, in agreement with these objects, were put, and agreed to withmt discussion, when, after a rote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Directors, the meoting separated.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 4,000 bales, at about previous rates.—The quotations for Railway Shares are given in another column. The accounts received from most parts of the country this morning relative to the progress of the harvest, and the con dition of the crops in those districts where the sickle has not been brought into operation, were read with some anxiety, as the weather in most parts has been, since this day week, ex tremely variable. The short crop of old wheat on the Continent, the bad state of the potato crops, and the advancing prices, have led to the ap prehension that the Bank Directors may be com pelled to place the sorely on the circulation, the effect of which would be to troduce a depression in shares as well as the public securities generally. The: purchase of foreign grain for exportation has been rather considerable in the course of the last week here, and at the out-ports. A coa-_ •siderable quantity of flour: and w h ea t i s com i ng i n f rom Canaoa and the United • States. From the former, how ever, not much more can be expected this year, as the ,navigation of the St. Lawrence upwards will very soon be closed for the year. There have not been any late accounts announced in the City this morning. The mail from the East Indies is looked for daily, but its contents, in a commercial point of view, are not expected to be of great interest, because the dates are not much later. As was expected, the markets for grain have all advanced this morning, but as yet the changes in the quotations of the public s,cu ities have been very trifling indeed. The Consol market has been flat to-day at 98% I, and for the Account at 98i i f . The bargains have been but few. The premium on Exchequer-bills are at 47. The quotations of India Bonds are heavy at 625. to 665. premium. 'There is rather more doing in the Foreign Funds to-dly, and the prices are on the whole rather flat. Brazilian are at 91_; the Chilian Stock has receded to 102; Mexican are at 32%; the Portuguese Converted at 60 1 A for the Account; Spani h at 27%; the Three per Cents. at 38 1 ,E %; and the Venezuela Deterred at 5%. The Dutch Funds are a shade lovirer than on Saturday. There has been h considerable amount of business tran sacted in the Railway Shares tins morning. A rise is to be noticed in the Birmingham and Gloucester, in theCaledonian, in the Southern and Western (Ireland), in the New Great North of Ireland, and in the L ndon and Birmingham. The chief dealings have been in Scrips. The French Railways are firm and in request. PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. ONE O'CI,OCIt. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY During the past week the arrivals of all descriptions of Grain of home produce, but more particularly those of Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Flour, were on a very limited scale. Those of Irish Oats were somewhat on the increase, but far from extensive; while the im ports of Foreign Corn and Pulse were comparatively small for the tine of year. Fresh up the supplies of Wheat of home produce were unusually small ; hence the show of samples of that ar ticle were extremely limited. The attendance of both town and country dealers being large, the 'weather by no means favourable for the progress of harvest work in the north of England, and several orders h iving been again received from the continent to purchase Wheat under lock, the market was in a state of excitement almost beyond a parallel, For all descriptions of English Wheat, the demand was unusually brisk, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last, of from 4s to, in some instances, 6s per quarter, at which the whole on offer was disposed of. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was small, and for which we have to report a very brisk inquiry, at a rise in the currencies of from 4s to 6s per quarter, and a good clearance was effected without difficulty. For Bonded Wheats we have to report a brisk sale, at a rise of from 45 to 5s per quarter, and at which nearly 10,000 quarters were sold for shipment to Holland and Belgium ; even at that improvement importers were not ready sellers. Barley was in short supply and active demand, at quite Is per quarter more money. There was some inquiry for export. 'i he Malt trade ruled firm. Superfine parcels were the turn dearer, the value of other kinds being well suppiirted. All kinds of Beaus moved off briskly, at is to 2s per quarter more money, while Bye was 2s dearer. Such was the activity in the sale for Peas, that their value was enhanced from 6s to lOs per quarter, arising from the foreign demand, for immediate shipment. The Flour trade was firm, at 5s per 2solbs. more money. Mustard Seed was chill, but all other kinds of seed were quite as dis,r• CURRENCY PER IMF Whiat—Essex & Kent, - Red, New 545 to 60s • Ditto,White, Old • • 60s- 69s Norfolk and Lin coln, Red 44s 54s Ditto, White.. •• • • 505 60s Irish, Red.. .. •• • • —5 —5 .

AnOther extensive importation of live stock for our market has taken prime during the last week ; we having received 100 oxen and cow*, together with 220 sheep, 14 lambs, and 10 calves, per steamers, f tan Rotterdam; while from liamburgh 26 oxen have come to hand, in, for the most part, in good condition. At the outports, in cluding Ireland and Scotland, about 200 beasts and 60 sheep have been imparted. There were on offer 164 Dutch oxen and cows, together with 64 sheep, nearly the whole of which found buyers, at rates about equal to those obtained last week. By far the largest portion was purchased by the butchers ; but a few of the beasts were taken for grazing purposes. From our own grazing districts the Bullock droves fresh up were again extensive, amounting to neatly 4,000 head ; but compara tively speaking, of middling quality. The primest Scots, Devons, Stunts, &c., moved off steadily at prices quite equal to those realised on this day se'nnight. In the middling and inferior qualities of Beef only a limited business was doing, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. The northern droves, viz., those from Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., amounted to 1,800 Short horns. From the eastern counties about 400 Scots, Home breds, anti Short-horns, came to hand. The numbers from the western and midland districts, 500 Devons, Stunts, Herefords, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 140 Scots ; and from Ireland, 80 Beasts. The number of Sheep were somewhat on the increase, and of im proved quality. Prime old Downs commanded a ready sale at full prices —viz. 4s 8d to 5s per sibs; in other kinds of Sheep, hoWever, only a moderate business was transacted, and currencies were with difficulty maintained. Lambs, the supply of which was by no means extensive, moved off slowly, at last week's figures. The Veal trade was steady, at Friday's enhanced rates. The supply of Pigs, - 161— compilsing those received from Ireland—was good: while the Pork trade was firm, at full prices. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. to s.

Mr. fall was occupied the whole morning.. up to the thus of our going to press with trivial cases of tirttititeuness and assault, which Contained no point of the slightest interest. CLEItkEN WELL.--(T HIS DAY.) A poor boy was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with obstruct ing the public thoroughfare by selling fruit on it. Police-constable, 39 S, deposed that he saw the prisoner with a basket on the footway in Brill-row, Somer's-town, on the preVions morning, at nine o'clock. Witness told him to go away; he went away, but again placed his basket of apples in Brewer-street. The passengers were obstructed in their progress, and wituers took him into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said he had stood in Brill-row for the last seven years without being once disturbed ; ha had no other way of gettimr his living; he had been in Covent-garden-market on that morning. Mr. COMBE—What ! Covent-garden-market on Sunday morning ? Prisonar—Yes, sir, the market is open till nine o'clock. I bought a few apples and strove to sell them. Constable—The Commissioners of Pavement have given directions to clear the streets. Prisoner—l was only striving to get my livhig, as I have got it for the last seven years. Mr. Costar—You must pay ss. Prisoner—l have no money. Mr. COMBE—Then you must go to prison for five days. Another poor lad, who was selling his fruit under the same cir cus stances, was, in default of fine, sent to prison for five days. Neither used any bad language, nor assaulted the police. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Vincenza Bracio, a stalwart powerful young Italian, dressed in very fashionable style, was charged under the following circum tames :—About ten o'clock, on Saturday night last, as Mr. Samuel Cole, No. 3, Charles-street, Rathbone-place, house-decorator, was going along Golden-square, he, in passing by the defendant, inadvert ently pushed slightly up against him, on which the defendant, with out speaking a word, commenced a furious attack upon him, striking hhn many blows of tremendous force, with a thick knobbed walking stick over the head. Several of the passers-by interfered, fearing the complainant would be killed. The defendant then threw his stick down an area, attempted to decamp, but was secured and lodged in the station-house. Mr. Coles was for a considerable time quite stunned by the blows ; his head was dreadfully bruised, and he was obliged to have his wounds dressed by a surgeon. His clothes down to his feet were completely saturated with his blood. The defendant said the complainant had pushed rudely against him, and menaced him with an umbrella. Mr. HARDwicx asked him what he was ? lie said a courier. Mr. HeanwicK—You pay a fine of 155., or six weeks' imprisonment. •;.• t 4 0.;. :••• • Ahib WOOL. During last week the imports of Wool were principally confined to about 1,500 hales, chiefly from Sydney. In the private contract market a full average amount cf business is doing and the quotations are well supported. The stuck of Colonial Wools being now suffi ciently large to admit of extensive public sales, several will be held early in next moi.th. The auctions, at which will be offered nearly iO,OOO packages, will commence on the 6th, and continue for several days. TALLOW. The prices of Tallow arc still about the same as for many weeks past ; the stock is small, NO the demand good, both sufficiently so to cause some excitement and create an 'advance of from 4/ to 51 per ton. Town Tallow has fallen Is 6,1 per cwt, more from the state of the weather than any other cause. The price is 41s cash. BOP DI .CET. The late high winds and heavy rains appear to have done con siderable damage to the Line, owing to which, the demand, for most kinds of Hops, is fair, and prices have an upward tendency. The duty is now called only 170,00(1. Picking will be pretty general to day. Nearly 100 pockets of New Hops have been disposed of, at prices varying from 61 to 81 lOs per ewt. Lord Cowley returned on Thursday to Paris from England. The Duke and Duchess of Nemours, and the Duke d'Auinale, arc about to return to Paris, and will proceed in a few days to the Chateau d'Eu. JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The Commis siNers appointed by Government to Inquire into the causes of the recent explosion at Jarrow colliery, have terminated their investiga tions at Jarrow, and left the district. The result of their labours will be. communicated to the Home Secretary, and the publication of thelereport is looked forward to with great interest by the coal trade, especially in the north of England. VACANCY IN THE REPRESENTATION OF WIGAN.— The borough has been unexpectedly involved in the turmoil of a Parilatnentary contest, by the sudden death of Mr. Peter Greenall, on Thursday last. Captain Lindsay was the same day named as the Tory candidate, and a requisition was immediately prepared by the Liberal'', calling upon Ralph Thicknesse, Esq., whose father formerly represented the borough, to come forward. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Thicknesse will respond to the wisees of the elec tors.—Mancheeer Guardian. EXPLOSION OF TURPENTINE NEAR THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.-011 Saturday night, about eight o'clock, an explosion of turpentine took place, under the most singu lar circumstances, near the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, which, owing to the disgraceful conduct of a cabman, was near being attended by serious consequences, not only to property, but life. About the time above stated a man was unloading a cart, laden with drugs, and carrying the articles into the shop of Mr. J. Knowles, chemist and druggist, of Seymour-street. Among other articles was a carboy of turpentine, which, on being lifted from the cal t unfortunately burst, the whole of the spirits fall into the gutter and on the pavement fronting Mr. Knowles's shop. One of the cabmen, who is unfortunately not known, plying on the Seymour-street stand (which is a great nuisance to the in habitants of the street, but of convenience to the London and Birmingham Railway Company, who have no room, like other railways, on their own premises fbr cabs) went into Blundell's ham and beef shop adjoining Mr. Knowles's, for the purpose of, it was sup posed, lighting his pipe, but as it afterwards turned out, to have a lark with his companions by setting fire to the turpentine. On coming out of the shop lie threw the lighted paper amongst the liquid, which floated in the gutter, and an explosion immediately fol lowed, a bright flame shooting up nearly as high as the second-floor windows of the houses, and bunting furiously for several minutes. To describe the alarm and confusion that prevailed is out of the question. The people in the various shops making purchases flew to the parlours behind the shops for safety from the flames, which threatened to destroy everything within their reach. The cabs were moved, but not before the paint upon them was blistered, as well as the paint upon the deors of the houses on the opposite side of the street. In every place touched by the turpentine flames were observed, and for a long dis tance the pavement appeared a sheet of lire. The inhabitants, aided, by a body of police of the S division, succeeded, after much difficulty, in extinguishing the flames, but not before a great many windows were broken by the heat. Various reports were circulated ; one, that ass explosion had taken place on the London and Birming ham Railway, caused several of the brigade engines, with the engine of the County hire• office, to arrive, but their aid was not required. It is understood to he the determination of the inhabitants to offer a reward for the discovery of the dastardly miscreant who caused the explosion.

THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON (lfrom a Second Edition of the Deronport Telegraph of Saturday,) The St. Vincent, 120, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., arrived in the Sound this morning, at about half-past one o'clock. Ihe Gallant Admiral, we regret to state, is still con lined to his cabin. The Queen and Albion closely followed, these ships (with the Trafalgar) forming the weather line of the fleet ; the , latter, however : did hot arrive until the leward line (consisting of the Canopus, Rodney, Superb, and Vanguard) had anchored—all before four o'clock, the Trafalgar not anchoring until half-past six. The Gallant Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.8., will here supersede Admiral Parker, and the squadron will in a few days, wind permitting, proceed on a further cruise of six weeks, at the close of which they ra:uru to this port. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. ARRIVAL OF THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET AT PLYMOUTH.—The eight line-of-battle ships, composing the experimental squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., with that Gallant Officer's Flag flying on board the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, arrived in Plymouth Sound during Friday night from Cork. On Saturday morning several of the ships reported defects, which will be immediately attended to by the dockyard. The St. Vincent led in about 2.30 a.m., on Saturday morning, fol lowed by the other ships of the fleet, and the Rattler and Stromboli steam sloops. About eight o'clock the St. Vincent saluted the port admiral's flag, and the Neapolitan frigate, the Urania, 44, Captain Lettieri, saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Parker. The fleet lett Cork harbour on Thursday afternoon, at which time there was both rain and fog. The order for sailing was sudden, and most unexpected, so much so that several officers were left behind in Cork, and will have to join their several ships at Plymouth. On Tuesday a splendid dejeuner was given by the officers of the Queen to about 300 of the gentry of Cork and neighbourhood. Dancing was kept up on the middle deck until eleven o'clock, when the guests departed most highly gratified with their entertainment. Rear-Admiral Parker is still very unwell in his cot, on beard the St. Vincent. lie will strike his flag at Devonport, and Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.B. the sup, rintendent of the dockyard, will hoist Isis flag on board the St. Vincent, and assume the command. Sir Samuel Pyin was appointed to the command-in-chief by the Admiralty on Friday. Mr. Lumsdale, the master attendant, will perform the duties in the dockyard during the absence of the Admiral superintendent, and Captain Manly Hall Dixon, of the Caledonia, 120, will command the ordinary. The flag of the commander-in-chief, at Devonport, Admiral Sir John West, K.C.8., has been shifted to the Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, which vessel will ultimately be his flag-ship at that port. The Queen is to fire the morning and evening gun while at Plymouth Sound. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. Mr. Bunn commences the winter campaign here on Saturday, with a mpg operatique and chcerographique, such as no other English theatre can beast. He retains the services of all the operatic nota bilities of last season, including the " Enchantress" Anna Thillon, whilst in every department the operatic strength of the company has been increased by new engagements. Among these the most prominent, certainly, is that of Millie. Jenny Lind, the prima donna of the Impe rial Theatre, B rlin, who, in the opinion of the dilettanti, may fairly dis pute with Leutzer the right to the ti le of Nightingale of Germany. We are glad to see this lady's name appear in the list of the Drury company, for we believe that attempts have been mad, to prevent her appearing there, which attempts it would appear, have not succeeded any better than they deserve. The engagement of this lady speaks well not only for the taste, but for the tact and diplomacy of the manager of Old Drury. 11. Phillips, who has just returned from Ameriea, also joins the Drury company, as does Allen of the Princess's. This last engagement is, perhaps, the most important that Mr. But.n has made. His operatic corps was last season very weak in tenors. Ile wanted a musician-like tenor, as contradistinguished from a mere singer of ballads : in Allen he has secured one of the most tasteful singers, and accod:pllshed musicians of the day —one who thoroughly understands and is capable of doing full justice to the compositions of the great Italian masters. Wallace, whose performance at concerts during the last season have acquired for him a high name In the musical world, and of whose talents as a composer Fame speaks highly, has a new opera, which will be produced during the present season, and which has excited the greatest expectations; and Benedict will also produce a new grand opera during the course of t‘e season. Negotiations have also been entered into with Meyerbeer for the production of his opera, The Camp of Silesia, and Donizetti for a new opera of which Scribe is to write the libretto. In the Ballet department we are to have Adele Dumilatre, Plunkett, and Mademoiselle Flora Fabbir, a young lady who possesses a high continental reputation but who is as yet new to the English public. An engagement has also been entered into with the Risleys ant with Wieland. These latter engagements will give the ballet directors an opportunity of introducing great variety into this species of entertainment—an op portunityof which MM. Albert and Barrez will, no doubt, know how to avail themselves. It is not often that a ballet director has such talent at his command as those of the Risleys, father and sons. Among the novelties promised in this department are La Fille de Alarhre, a new ballet composed expressly for Drury-lane, by MM. St. George and Albert, the music by Adolphe Adam, and the ballet which is now drawing all Paris to the Academie, and which has in fact been the saving of that theatre, and of M. Leon fillet, its direc tor, entitled Le Diable a quatre. Schira is musical director, Tully chorus master, and Harley stage-manager. The scenic department Is uNer the direction of Grieve, and the general management under that Bunn himself—Bon Voyage! Mr. Bunn, aAy n unforseen ill nesses of principal performers derange your plat r, but may you be able fully and fairly to carry out your programme, Aid then your season cannot but be a most successful one. REDUCTION OF FARES.— The South-Western and Brighton both announce a great reduction in their fares, to com mence on the Ist proximo, when the fares by the latter from Gosport to London by every train will he the same as from Southampton to London ; the fares being Its. first class, and 12s. second class. The Brighton having made the requisite increase in their stock of car riages, are induced to reduce their fares, in conformity with the an nouncement of 31r. Rowland Hill, the Chairman, at the last meeting. The fares by the third class, or Parliamentary trains, will be 4s. 3d., second class 55., first class its., accomplishing the distance in two hours and a half. UNITED STATES.-LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT - By the arrival of the packet-ship, Susquehana, Captain West, from New York, we have papers from that city to the 2d inst., a day later than previous arrivals, but they contain no fresh intelligence. The American steamer 3larnora was to leave New York on the same day as the Susquehana; there is not, however, up to this hour, any tidings of her approach. • FATAL FALL FROM INTEMPERANCE.—Mr. Baker held an inquest on Saturday at the King's Arms, Prospect -place, Hackney-road, on the body of Ann Tyrrell, aged sixty-three. The deceased was the wife of a superannuated ward beadle of Bishops gate, and resided in Prospect-place. On Friday last she had been drinking freely of spirits, and had fallen in her room several tittles during the they. About five o'clock in the afternoon, her landlady heard a noise on the stairs, and on going to ascertain the cause, she tumid the deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs, with her head bent under her, having evidently fallen down the whole flight. Mr. King, a surgeon, was called in, who pronounced her to be quite dead, having broken her neck. Verdict, " Accidental death." DEATH OF SHERIFF Al ACDONALD.—It is with un feigned regret we announce the rather sudden and premature death of James Macdonald, Esq., advocate, one of the Sheriff-substitutes of the county of Edinburgh. Sheriff Macdonald was in the full pos session of health, and in the execution of his official duties not many days ago, having, sat on the' bench in the Sheriff Court on the loth instant. Mr. Macdonald's sister, with whom he lived, was seized with small-pox, from which disease this l a d y i s now reco v ering. It is supposed he Sheriff had caught the malady, but he was Also considered in a fair way till TueSday morning, when he grew much worse, and expired at ten o'clock at night. Mr. Mac donald, who we believe was in his forty-fifth or forty-sixth year, was greatly respected as a clear and upright judge, and as an amiable man ; his early death is, therefore, a subject of deep an I sincere re gret to all who had the happiness of bis friendship and acquaintance. —Scotch Reformers' Gazette. MEssusaism.—A girl, named Mary Farriss, aged 14, an Inmate of the Cork wot khouse for two years, was presented to the Board on Wednesday. It appeared she had been deaf for four years, and incapa , to of receiving instruction in the school of the house, owing to the infirmity.

In tie ibt ai• of this awful visitation, the apathy of the g ni , re' ties is such that no measures whatever have bL e o dtie sorted to in the least adapted to diminish the w - Cifi l consequences which it for bodes. This is nut all; die b,'' Governor of Sandomir, foreseeing the result of t h i ne a l' ness of the harvest, thought himself bound to cal l e t ort tention of the Government to the subject, and etas unless energetic measures were resorted to, a. o o' was inevitable.
