This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at loss, pro ceeding thrOugh a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway accommodation. to Ahergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Railway. The dis tance will not exceed 40 miles. On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir mingham, South 4taffordshire, and the north. It is unnecessary to enlarge the prospectus with details of passen ger and goods traffic, the elements of both in the district which this line accommodates being well-known to be inexhaustible ; it may, however, be stated that the population of Merthyr and its neighbour hood exceeds 120,000, that it i s the tentre of a coal and mineral field 1,200 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a million of tons of iron ore annually, anti 'wholly dependent for its supnlies upon the agricultural counties Of I.Lon mouth, Hereford and Woreester. The necessity for a line: of railway on the north of the iron works affording a direct route to London and the North, is admitted by all inteiTsted in or acquainted with this important district: this deside ratum will .be supplied by the present project, and in conjunction with the Taff Vale Railway it will also afford a means of communi cation with Cardiff, from which important shipping port a large por tion of the district hf s been hitherto shut out. _ The. Pile will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo dation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it will pass, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the principal rnarkots of the kingdom. Arra igements have been made with the Directors of the Worces ter and South Wales junction Railway Company, for the mutual ad vantage of both Companies. Applicants for shares who arc personally known to members of the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such Committee ; all other applicants will be required to give a reference to some bgliker, or other person of known respectability, in London, or the tovrn from which the application is made. Holders of scrip in the Worcester and South Wales Junction Rail 'ay will be entitled to an equal number of shares in this Company, upon making application in the usual form, and within a time to be hereafter specified ; subject, however, in the cases of holders to whom the shares were not originally allotted, to the approbation of the Pro visional Committee, and all such persons must therefore give a refe rence according to the form below. The usita 'power win be taken by the Act to allow Interest at 4 percent. per annum on the amount of subscription paid up, and no ijabscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, a•ld then not beyond his sub scription.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. it, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north, from which at present the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex. perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,4721. per mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle • this quantity is about one-half of the present I m p or t at i on i ron ; London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it i s on t h e tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated ag ainst the uncer. estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their reg ular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased prico of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con. sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be. yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those seaborne; and, therefore, London will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coaLowners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 2/. 125. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the railway, _ _ _ The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre. liminary deposit of 105. 6d. per share previous to application being made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying, shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the exttnt of 100 shares, if a larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find, on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit will he immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended beyond the disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of the Company will receive instructions to refuse preliminary de posits. _ .

THE WATERLOO HE ROE S The Subscribers and the Public are respectfully informed that the splendid Engraving of the " WATERLOO HEROES " is now completed. This most interesting and grand Historical Record of Walerloo, painted by G. P. KNIGHT, Esq., RA., has been in progress by the celebrated Engraver. Mr. CHILES G. LEWIS, for nearly three years, and is now brought to a most successful termination. The engraving represents " Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington, K.G., receiving his illustrious guests at Apsley-house, on the anniversary of the glorious Eighteenth of June," and included in the Plate are most of the great " Soldiers of the age," to whom the nation owed its crowning victory at Waterloo.

William Dickin son, Comptroller-General of the Customs, which took place a Saturday. at his residence in Charlotte-row, Walwortb. This melancholy event will be a great loss to that neighbour hood. For many years he bad taken a deep interest in the education of the children of the poor, and had spent much money and time in establishing Sunday schools as well as day schools for that purpose; and it is gratifying to find that his labours have not been without effect, and that several members of his family are following the good example Deeds like these may well afford consolation on a death-bed. WILY TIIE ANCIENTS HAD NO PRINTED BOOKS. —What was the reason that the Greeks and Romans had not the advantage of printed books ? The answer will be, from 99 persons in 100—because the mystery of printing was not then discovered. But this is altogether a mistake. The secret of printing must have been discovered many thousands of times before it was used, or could be used. The inventive powers of man are divine; and also his stupidity is divine—as Cowper so playfully illustrates in the slow development of the sofa through successive enerations of immortal dulness. It took centuries of blockheads to raise a joint stool into a chair; and it required something like a miracle of genius, in the estimate of elder genera tions, to reveal the possibility of lengthening a chair into a chaise longue, or a sofa. Yes, these were inventions that cost mighty throes of Intellectual power. But still as respects printing, admirable as is the stupidity of man, it was really not quite equal to the task of evading an object which stared him in the face with so broad a gaze. It did not require an Athenian intellect to read the main secret of printing in many scores of processes which the ordi nary uses of life were daily repeating. To say nothing of analagous at tifices amongst various mechanic artisans, all that is essential in printing must have been known to every nation that struck coins and medals. Not, therefore, any want of a printing art—that is of an art for multiplying impressions —but the want of a cheap material for receiving such impressions, was the obstacle to an introduction of printed books even as early as Pisistratus. The ancients did apply printing to records of silver and gold ; to marble and many other substances cheaper than gold and silver they eid not, since each monument required a separate effort of inscription. Simply this defect it was of a cheap material for receiving impresses, which froze in its very fountains the early resources of printing. Some twenty years ago,. this view of the case was luminously expounded by Dr. Whately, the present Arch bishop of Dublin, and with the merit, I believe, of having first sug gested it. Since then, this theory has received indirect confirma tion.—Blackwood's Magazine. RAILWAY ALLOTMENTS.—The following queries have been submitted by a correspondent :—" 1. Supposing A ap. plies for and gets allotted twenty shares in a new railway under taking, and after paying the deposit and signing the necessary deeds, &c., sells them to B, who holds them till the Act is got, and is then registered in the Company's books as the holder of these twenty shares, is not B the party liable to further calls? 2. Suppose B sells these shares to C, who has them transferred to his name, and then C finds he cannot pay the next call which is made, who is the party liable—A or B ? If C cannot Pay this call, and the Company come upon A or B (or whoever, is the party liable), is not the payer of the call entitled to have the shares, and to have them transferred to his name ? 4. When does A's responsibility cease ?"—Wc do not, at present, undertake to give a perfect answer to all these questions. So much may, how ever, be stated, we believe, with correctness :—lf A, to whom the shares are originally allotted, sells them to B, who, after the Act is obtained, is registered as the holder, his (A's.) responsibility ceases. If, however, Bis not registered, either because the Com pany will not accept him, or because, finding the undertaking not so good as he anticipated, he does not desire to come forward, A's liabilities remain, notwithstanding any sale to the extent of the calls that may be made upon his shares. On paying such calls, however, he becomes the actual shareholder, and the claim of B, or any subsequent purchaser, may be considered as forfeited.— Railway Mail. CHARLES I. HANGED FOR OLIVER CROMWELL.— There is a story current, that to guard against any further insult being offered to the body of Oliver Cromwell, it was privately buried in Naseby field, which was repeatedly ploughed and planted to secure the spot from discovery. The same account adds, that to render the scheme effectual, the body of King Charles, with the head sewed on, was buried for that of Cromwell. When, at the restoration, the supposed body of the usurper was removed from Westminster Abbey, and suspended on a gallows at Tyburn, amid the gaze and taunts of the populace, a seam round the neck was observ able, and the eve of curiosity traced a likeness of the King's countenance. The rumour quickly circulated, anti having reached the palace, the body was ordered to be taken down with all possible dispatch—the mob quickly dispersing not a little amused (?) at the mistake. —Historic Prologues by the h , E vfon it r. lc trih , , t he r e priceß s eason EEbo.y—f primer l e N t a re i i., ! nl2 v I,4ee American ceapenenr beet;l the b,a i fi d rt e impor tation late Rev.

Let us but have peace for some years longer, and a reduction of war esta blishments, and the nations of Europe will be as little dis united socially as were the shires and counties of England, not to speak of Scotland, a century or two ago. Rudely and defectively as this work may have been done, if it had not been moved by capitalists, and on commercial principles, there was little chance of its being done in our time in any other way. There are, however, amongst those who have considered the subject comprehensively but few dissentients from the opinion, after the completion of the larger lines of communication, that by continued and immense applica tion of capital in that one direction, - without waiting fur t! e results of important experiments, and more matured expe rience, the work will certainly be overdone, and enor mous waste and loss occasioned. This work of bringing towns nearer to each other is, whilst they are in their present condition, too frequently bringing seats of pestilence nearer to each other; it is too frequently further overcrowding the already overcrowded. We have no doubt that the railways will be a most important means of relieving this evil, especially when the fares have beer. re duced ; but they have not yet been so. In the instance of the formation of the Blackwall Railway it was distinctly proved, that in cutting down a mass of habitations of the la bouring classes, no new ones having been provided, the dis lodged occupants were driven into the over -crowded rooms in the same neighbourhood. Besides the influx of visitors and of traffic, often at a greater rate than there is accommo dation for, one part of the present railway rush is to carry their termini into the centres of crowded towns, to mow down whole lines of habitations, apparently with the same result as that proved to have followed the formation of the Black wall Railway. Under these circumstances of immediate dread for the ca pital itself, as well as for the population, whatever may be the strength of hope, of " things shaking right," most per sons who review the present tendency of capital will be dis posed to hail with us the appearance in the money market of an enlarged scheme for the application of capital on commercial principles to the relief of towns themselves, by the improve ment of their sanitary condition. We refer unhesitatingly to the announcement contained in our advertising columns, and the prospectus, at the bead of which appear such names as those of the first chairman of the Liverpool and Man chester and Grand Junction Railway Company, the first chairman of the London and Birmingham Railway Com pany, the first chairman of the Southampton Railway, and that of one of the leading promoters of the Great Western Railway, and the present chairman of the Brighton Rail way, who, with such men ac Mr. JAMES MORRISON, Mr. T BARING, Mr. SAMUEL JONES LOYD, are promoters of a project "to provide towns with water on improved principles of supply; to effect their drainage and cleansing completely and systematically; to apply their refuse to agricultural purposes ; and to carry out any similar or collateral works that require the union of science and capital for the sanitary improvement of towns." As the chairman of this enterprise we find worthily placed the accomplished nobleman, Lord FRANCIS EGERTON, whose ancestors took the lead in the first great improvement' by inland navigation. We stay, however, to notice one name amongst the promoters of - this work, that - of Mr. JOHN CROSTMVAITE, of Liverpool, who is alluded to with another merchant in an article, " Talk on the Exchange," in the Liverpool Journal of Saturday. " The talk during the last two days is, that the moralists must amend their theories; for the means of luxury pro duces temperance and ardour atter riches a noble disre gard of money ; that this has been made manifest by two Liverpool merchants, and that the history of chivalry and the annals of aristocracy cannot parallel their example. " The instances alluded to are those of Mr. Crosthwaite and Mr. James Brancker. People wonder while they exult that one of those gentlemen sustained an _endangered undertaking by his purse—alone he did it—and when, in consequence of his liberality, he unexpectedly found himself the richer to an extent of 70,000/., he, rather than his motives should be questioned, threw up his shares, and although the sacrifice was not to the full extent accepted, he nobly consented to the loss of 20,000/., every farthing of which he could legally retain. The other instance was not less creditable. The chairman, though in all the secrets of the Liverpool and Bury Railway—though he could have enriched himself be yond the dreams of avarice, refused to profit by his oppor tunity, and preserved his honour and disinterestedness for applause, not censure—holding no more shares than qualified him for the office for which he has proved himself so worthy. The talk is that the 'Change can parody the Grecian mother, and say, Liverpool has many such men, and long may they continue her ornaments: " These gentlemen state in their prospectus, that " It is sufli&ent merely to advert to the advantages of the proposed improvements to the health, comfort, and morality of the population, as cogent motives to hearty co-operation, while the pecuniary interests of the consumer are also duly consulted. It is, however, strictly on the bas i s o f p rofitable returns that the Company is founded, as it is onl y on that basis that those advantages may be expected to be rapidly, economically, and completely realised to the whole of the community, or that the capital can be justly expected to be raised, and science applied to the works in question ; all of which, it is now proved, must, when completely carried out, effect large reductions of various existing money charges, to landlords as well as to even the lowest class of tenants. They set forth that " The commercial principle proposed fur adoption, as ad vantageous to the shareholders, is that of low rates for abun dant supplies to the whole population, instead of high charges for restricted supplies to the higher and middle classes of the community, according to the common practice." The adoption and enunciation of this principle for prac tical application by such names is in itself a large advance. They refer to the " official researches into the means of im proving the sanitary condition of towns, as having brought to light important instances of improved works which have long been in successfsl oper,tion, with good returns to the capitalist, and reduced charges, as well as increased conve niences and comiorts, to the consumers. It is proposed that the Company, acting in unison with the local authorities, shall extend the application of such improvements to dis tricts already more or less supplied, as well as to districts in which there is no regular supply, either by purchasing and completing existing but imperfect works, where they may be obtained on equitable terms, or by carrying out entirely new works, according to the suggestions of the Commissioners of Inquiry. With the aid of a staff of engineers of extensive and varied practice, and distinguishedby their having effected successful improvements, the Company may undertake works with perfect confidence that they will secure to the consumer an efficiency and economy which cannot be obtained through the .medium cf persons whose experience is limited to their own districts, or who are habituated to imperfect works, and modes of management which the public wants require to be amended or superseded." One of these improvements they thus describe : " The system proposed for adoption to meet the most pressing public want— that of improvement in the supply of water—is a system which has long been in successful use in several towns, namely, that of a constant supply of filtered water at high pressure, as contradistinguished from the common mode of an intermittent supply, which renders necessary an expensive apparatus of butts and tanks, in which water stagnates, until it is wanted, and in which, however pure at its source, it becomes vapid and polluted, by the absorption of the soot and dust falling in crowded districts; while if the water be impure, and, as is usually the unfiltered, the generation of animaculre and the decom position of animal and vegetable matter, are constantly taking place to an extent most injurious to health and comfort. The constant supply also atfords new and important con veniences for baths, for washing, and other domestic pur poses. In those towns where it has been introduced, it has, as shown in the Commissioners' report, occasioned a reduction of one-half of the previous average losses by fire, and made a corresponding addition to the security of life as well as property. The constant supply at high pressure also furnishes efficient means for the removal of refuse from houses, and for the cleansing of drains, streets, and sewers, such as no other system affords. The Nottingham scale of charges, which from the improvements in machinery, and the reduced cost of pumping by the steam-engine, has proved to be remune rative to the capitalists, will be adopted with little variation, according to the prices of materials and fuel, and the secu rities given. On this scale, which is lees than one-third of the common rate charged for intermittent supplies of unfil tered water by the greater number of the water companies in the metropolis, the improved supply will be provided at the rate of three-farthings per ton, threepence per 1,000 gallons, or at a rental of about twopence weekly for the domestic use of all the houses in a town,—a constant supply being car ried into the poorer class of tenements at a pressure of above 100 feet, so as to deliver forty gallons of filtered water per diem to the highest attie. at a rate ofone penny per week. The cost of this supply is less than the usual expense of the wear and tear of common pumps. To the large consumers the Com pany may, frpm the reduced expense of steam-power, supply water at a lower cost than the usual wages for hand-labour in pumping, even where the water, the well, and the pump may be had gratis." On reading this, the inhabitants of the metropolis may well be disposed to ask for the intervention of the Company, or to know why, when the expense of materials and steam power have been reduced, they are to be forced to pay three times the proper charge for bad supplies of bad water? With these exorbitant rates, are they to continue to drink stagnant water because the companies refuse to be at the expense of proper reservoirs to contain abundant supplies? Is the habit of using water as a beverage to be prevented because the companies refuse to be at the expense of filter beds? Are fires, and losses of life, and the devastation of property to go on because the companies refuse to be at the expense of pro per elevation? Or are the public, now charged with three times the amount for which better supplies may be had, to pay for the requisite additions to ignorantly constructed works, and to pay, moreover, for the maintenance of a number of separate and clashing establishments and their heavily paid officers, when one or two establishments would do the work much better? The metropolis will shortly have before it the means of testing the value of its representatives. The Company before us say, that the cost of the management by public municipal authorities has rarely been less than twenty per cent. on the outlay. This twenty per cent. they propose to save, and divide the profits with the capitalist and the consumer, provided the capitalist will carry supplies of forty gallons of filtered water per diem fur a penny a week ;—then we say the more profit he makes out of that penny the, better for the labouring classes, for then the work will be the more rapidly done; and so also if the capitalist will drain and cleanse the lowest habitations at the like rates. For the accomplishment of these works rapidly and com pletely, they will deserve the reward of whatsoever profits they may eventually obtain, after flushing sewers and re moving all decomposing refuse from the sites of towns, for the application of such refuse to agricultural production. Those who read the prospectus itself will join with us in hailing the announcement as a great advance in commercial and social polity, when practically executed. " We have much pain," says the Morning Poe, "in stating on authority, which we believe to be entirely trustworthy, that on Thursday last Mr. NEWMAN, and several other mem bers of the University of Oxford, were formally received into the Church of Rome. In every point of view this movement must be the subject of deep regret; but especially it is to be lamented when the position and prospects of the Anglican Church are carefully considered. This is not a time when we can afford to lose the piety, the learning, and the zeal by which Mr. NEWMAN has been so eminently distinguished." We are utterly at a loss to understand the cause of this lamentation, or to divine in what way the piety, the learning, and the zeal of Mr. NEWMAN could improve the position and prospects of the Anglican Church. The schism which prevails is entirely the work of the Tractarians, of whom PUsEY and NEWMAN are the leaders; it is a schism dangerous in its character, and disgraceful in its operation to members of the Established Church, and every real friend of that Church, aswell as every good Roman Catholic, loudly and justly condemns men who receive the pay of one establishment, and profess the doctrines of another, and who, like traitors, remain in the camp only as loLg as they can be of service in betraying it to the enemy. had Mr. NEwmAN been less in fluenced by Jesuitical doctrines, had he not learned from certain Fathers whom he worships, that casuistry which, for a particular purpose confounds truth with error, and right with wrong, be would have acted like an honest man, and left a Protestant University and a Protestant Church on the day he adopted Catholic tenets. The objects of the Puseyites are to destroy the bles sings of the Reformation, and reconcile the Church Of England to the Court of Rome. Writers who can mourn over the defeat of such atrocious projects may find sympathy among bigots that would have done credit to the dark ages, but they are utterly unfit for the present time, and are justly reprobated at by every friend of truth, every sincere Pro testant, and every enemy of slavery and superstition. The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the sth instant, is satisfactory. The capital and the country genes ally appear to be in a state of perfect tranquillity, the credit of the State is improving, and the new tax is much better paid than was anticipated. In fact, the new finance measures of Senor MON, notwithstanding the despotic rule of NARVAEZ, will in time work wonders in that bankrupt country. If he can compel those able to pay to contribute their just share to the neces sities cf the State, and establish anything like economy in the government and expenditure, there may yet be hopes of redemption. He has succeeded so far. Hi 3 credit has risen with the bank of San Fernando, merely because the bank finds that he is a man of his word. He had paid, according to the Government papers, into the bank, 135,000,000 reals, being 15,000,000 more than were stipulated for in the contract, and has thereby been enabled to make better conditions for the future. By this. punctuality the Government has saved, during the present half- year, at least 10,000,000 reals (100,0001.). He is at the same time actively engaged in.preparing the budget, as well as a new tariff law, for the consideration of the approaching Cortes. The brokers still persist in refusing to transact business on the Bourse, and we consequently have no official quotations. The Paris papers possess considerable interest, not from any important news, or fresh intelligence either from Algeria or Italy, but from the excitement caused by the late disasters which have befallen the French, and the misunderstanding which prevails between the Government and Marshal By- GEAUD. The latter fact is evident from a letter addressed by him to the Prefect ofDordogne, and published in the Con serva tear de la Dordogne, on the Gth inst. The authenticity of this epistle was at first doubted by most of the Paris journalists, but is now fully admitted. Indeed, there could be no mistake about it, for it displays the character of the Marshal in its real feature—a great deal of blustering, no little abuse of the Government and the gallant men whom he had left in Africa, and that obstinacy in his own opinions, and indepen dence both of the Minister of War, and the whole Cabinet, which the new Duke delights in proclaiming to his country men. If the Government allow such an insult to pass with impunity, and continue to furnish supplies to the unsatiable wants of this braggadocio, he will soon be their master. The letter, a real curiosity in its way, is as follows Excideuil, Oct. 6, 1845. " Mon cher Prefet,—Chef d'Escadron Rivet has brought most disastrous news from Algiers. The army and the people Are loudly calling out for my return. I have too much right to complain of having been abandoned by the Government to my enemies in the press and elsewhere, not to have been comp'etely determined not to return to Algiers without the commission I have demanded, and assurances that some of my fundamental ideas should be complied with; but late events are too grave for me to make any terms fur my return to the field of ranger. I have therefore decided upon taking my departure the day after to-morrow. I will devote to you half an hour to give you the bulk of the news. One word, however, in the meantime. Al i d- e l-F a d er h as en t ere d t h e west of he province of Oran. The garrison of Djema has been almost totally destroyed. We have lost there a lieutenant colonel, a chef d'escadron, a chief de batallion, all the officers of the column, and about 400 soldiers. General Cavaignac, informed of the approach of Abd-el-Kader, and the revolt of the tribes on the left bank of the Tafna, went out and fought, two great battles, of the results of which we are ignorant. All we know for certain is, that he has return to Tlemcen. This great success of Abd-el-Kader must have set the whole of the province into a ferment. On our side great faults have been committted ; symptoms of revolt have been shown at other Points; and General Bourjolly was little in condition to reduce the insurrection on the Mina. It must have gained some ground, and there is much to fear that a great war is about to be recommenced. Alas! events but too well justify the opposition I hare made to the unnecessary exten sion of the civil administration, and the reduction of the army. in order to cover the expenses of this extension. My heart is torn with grief at sash misfortunea, and so much blindness in tirs governors and in the press, which rules us much more than we are willing to confess." This letter of course furnishes matter for grave comment in the journals. It could not be otherwise. Such a breach of discipline, such a wanton attack upon GUIZOT, and &Ism; and LAMORICIERE, as well as the limo himself, ought to be punished by immediate dismissal from the service. It would appear, however, that the Government cannot screw up their courage to that point, and therefore the organs of the old dynasty rejoice. "The letter," says the Quotidienne, "is admirable. Il ya du NAPOLEON jusque dans la pone tuation (it is NAPOLEON all over, even to tha painting). It remains for M. BUGEAUD to put a little of the NAPOLEON in his acts, and we are too good Frenchman not to wish that he may supply us with another subject of astonishment." The Courrier Francais calls the letter a scandalous.violation of the laws of discipline, and expresses its astonishment that the Missayer has not announced some Ministerial order against the writer, and M. DE MARCILLAC, the Prefect, who has given publicity to it. The Courrier is of opinion that M. GUIZOT will swallow this " de grading insult" in silence. The National writes in the same indignant tone. "The Duke of Isr,y,'9 it says, " in writing to a Prefect that he would not have re turned to Algeria if satisfaction had not been given to his ideas ; a military chief declaring that the opposition which he was making to the system of a blind Government is fully justified bythe late deplorable events, is an example at once ridiculous and dangerous, which a Ministry cannot too promptly or too severely repress. In the event of another victory like that of Isly, lli. BUGEAUD will really assume the powers of Minister of War and dictate orders for the Go vernor of Algeria." The spirited article in the National thus concludes : "When the supreme hour in which Marshal Bugeaud shall reign without rivals shall arrive, perhaps he will then feel that if it is allowable to be arrogant towards a weak Ministry, and rebellious in the face of an inert Parliament, it is neither honourable nor courageous to profit as he does by a disaster which could not be foreseen, in order to cast blame on the arrangements made in his absence. The malevolent insinuations which he makes against his successor ad interim, were they even well founded, are ungentlemanly, and in the mouth of the Marshal are odious. This jealous attack upon generals who perform their duty with quite as much talent and zeal as M. Bugeaud, this attack, which would be im proper on the part of any military man, is base and cowardly when made by the irresponsible chief of an army. Let M. Bugeaud crush, if he pleaseQ, a Ministry whom he terrifies, but let him respect men who are as good as himself. This is a piece of advice which ' his enemies of the press ' have a right to give him." The Constitutionnel seems to anticipate a break-up of the Cabinet from all these untoward events :—" We have a Ca binet so feeble, that it suffers itself to be ruled by every in fluence, but so pre-occupied with its own preservation that it hides its weakness unddr false appearances. Pusillanimous, but boasting of its strength, it is afraid of-M. BUGEAUD, afraid of the Chambers, afraid of publicity, afraid of inquiry, afraid of everything. It dares not either resist the adversary who has been strong in its service, but opinionated —nor op. posy the vacillations of public opinion —nor candidly confess its doubts and incertitudes by appointing the proposed com mission—nor meet the complaints of those whose attributions would be circumscribed—nor in fact take any part with resolu tion and firmness. Add to all these intestine di visions, M. G razor wishes to turn out Marshal Souvr, that he may become Pre sident of the Council—Marshal SOMA` wishes to get rid Of the unmanageable Governor of Algeria—M. DUCHATEL, dreading the unpopularity of M. GurzoT, the failing powers of Marshal SOULT, the wilfulness of Marshal BUGEAUD, and it will be easy to comprehend the resignations tendered and withdrawn—the mutual mistrusts—all the agonies of this im potent Ministry, which has been keeping Marshal Buomuni for a month in France, without being able to decide whether his resignation should be provoked, or whether he should be sent triumphantly back into Africa—whether he should be dismissed, or whether he should be made a minister. In the meantime, one of the provinces of Algeria has broken into insurrection, encouraged probably by the absence of the Marshal, and by the reports of his disgrace, and several hun dreds of our soldiers have been massacred !" It was generally believed at Paris that Marshal Souls would resign his office of President of the Council and Minister of War in a few days, owing to bodily infirmity. Accounts from Algiers, to the sth inst., state that Colonel GERM, while attempting to join General BOURJOLLY, had been twice attacked by the Arabs. "Two successive battles," says - the Monitcur Algerien of the sth, " were fought, in which we had the most decided advantage. In the second affair the enemy left 90 dead on the field. The colonel has formed a junction of all the detachments of military labourers, in order to keep the enemy in check on that side. From the province of Constantina we learn that the Khalifat of Medjana has placed himself in commu nication with General MACEY. Everything was tranquil." The regiments destined for Africa, and now on their way, are stated to be the sth and 16th of the line, the 38th and 51st, the 43d, the 12th light infantry, the 2d chasseurs, and the sth chasseurs. These regiments were quartered at Per pignan, Marseilles, Toulon, Cette, Carcasone, an l Tarascon. It was very generally reported at Paris that the Duke D'AUMALE would assume the command of these reinforce ments. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the con tinental papers : " Louis Philippe had around him on the anniversary of his birth-day, his wife, his sister, four sons, four daughters-in law, three sons-in-law, and nine grandchildren. " The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at Berlin on the sth. They proceeded immediately to the Palace of Sans-Souci, where theywere to pass several days. The Duchess de Berri arrived at Vienna on the 2d, on a visit to the Imperial Family. " The Augsburgh Gazette states from Trieste, that the Archduke Frederick of Austria, on receiving the news of the affair of Rimini, erdered three ships of war to the coast of Romagna, for the 'impose of capturing any of the refugees who might fall in their way. _ _ " The St. Petersburgh Journal of the 28th ult. publishes an account from Tiflis, dated 18th August, of the return to Georgia of the Russian troops of the late expedition in the Caucasus. According to the Russian account, the campaign has been attended with important results, and the troops are said to have returned in so fresh a state, that, it would not be supposed that they had undergone fatigue and privation. " Prince Alexander of Hesse, who accompanied the Rus sian expedition in the Caucasus, arrived at Tiflis on the 9th of August. He left on the 16th for the south of the Crimea, where he arrived on the 29th. " The Odessa Journal of the 7th inst. announces the ar rival of the Russian Grand Duke Constantine Nicholaie vitsch, or. the 29th ult., at Sebastopol, after having visited the ports of the Sea of Azoff, and devoting several days to viewing the various picturesque scenes of the southern coast of the Crimea."

Prince Albert to:1 the diversion of shooting this morning, accompanied by Prince George, the Earl of Liverpool, and Sir Robert Peel. The royal party returned to the Castle soon after two o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken out on their ponies this forenoon. The royal f►mily were taken in the afternoon for walking exercise in the plea sure-grounds. The Princess Czernechiff, and the Prinfess, her daughter, and the Earl of Aberdeen, are expected to arrive this et ening on a visit to the Queen. Sir Henry Wheatley took his departure from the Castle this morning. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening will in clude her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and the Baroness de Srth. The band of the Grenadier Guards was in attendance during dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attended at the Castle. The Earl of Aberdeen left town yesterday afternoon for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial. office from the Governors of New South Wales and South Au,tra lia. Dispatches were also received yesterday from the Go vernor of the Mauritius. The late Major-General James Ogi C. 8., for merly of Oxenden-street, Haymarket, late of Banff, North Britain, who died in June last, left all his property in Scot land and England to his executors, William Jones, Esq., and Yatman, solicitor, of London, absolutely. The 1-q -ter gentleman having died before the testator, his share 'noses in favour of the survivor. THE THEATRES. PRINCESS'S. in t he Macready made his debut at this iheatra last night, character of Hamlet, and we could have wished that all those who complain of the decline of the love of tne legiti mate drama in England, had been present in Oxford street to have seen the scene presented for hours befo: e the doors were opened. As early as five o'clock, the people began t o assem ble at the entrances of the theatre, and long before uthe e opening of the doors the crowd extended not only oliti across the street, but up each side for a cons e space. When the doors were opened, the rush was terrific, and within ten minutes afterwards placards re° posted at the entrance of the theatre, " l'it fullan t "Boxes full." Still" the crowd continued to pus h on, persons eagerly tendered their money, which was refuse, . With considerable difficulty the rejected managed to vg.);_'" their way into the street, but those without were not sacks Bed and continued to press eagerly forward, until th e y , their predecessors, were rejected. It was nearly 8 before the crowd cleared away, satisfied at length that the theatre would not hold a single additional human being. Every corner of the theatre from which a glirnP se could be caught of the stage, was occupied. The box lobbies were crowded, and lucky was the wight who could Proc. , 12r : a place opposite a box door, through the glass panel of low t m he could catch a glimpse of thestage. As to procuring a seti or even a standing place, in a box, that was quite out of t o'clor question; every place had been taken days ago. The most perfect adept in the art of packing could not have packed an human being—not even a child—in the house, art' we are quite certain, that there was more money turned toil than was taken at the doors. Never has the legitima te drain had such 'a triumph. For ourselves, after great c rowding we managed to reach the box-lobby, and to get opposite Ora: glass panel of one of the boxes in the dress-circle. curtain rose, and the play proceeded. At length 3/Isere:tot appeared. Then rose one universal shout of welcome, "Loud as from numbers without number." Never was there such a reception ; for full a quarter or An hour the applause continued before he was suffered to Pr d teed. No conqueror returning from a victory in which be 'l a saved his country was ever greeted with such enthusiss to as Macready was greeted with last evening. He see in lo n g feel it deeply. It was a meeting of old friends after a ,Z absence of friends, who had never thought to meet aga l '.l, He looked exceedingly well, and was overcome by the entho siasm ; never has he acted so well as he acted last evefil l 'g; He was admirably supported by Mis. Ternan, Cooper,eo w Miss E. Stanley, and Granby, and was throughout g reet lo t with such enthusiastic demonstrations of welcome as have made him feel that he was indeed at home. L YCE UAL of Last evening the frequenters of this popular P' tl- " d r amusement were presented with a new comic drama, net, the title of The Last of the Bravoes. The piece is in ;ir, act, and is intended to exhibit the peculiar talent of his Keeley in a striking light, the burden of it resting oP °n t exertions. The plot is very ingenious, and its developinejoir elicited points and situations that kept the audience in a e tl tinual roar of laughter. It turns on the charms of a Pr, e „. girl,Ninetta (Miss Arden), attached to Giacopo (Mr. ge i „,`, who, though a very peaceable and well disposed persoole": has the misfortune to be the son of a noted bravo of per`, on whom it is supposed the father's mantle has falletd r esi netta is persecuted with the addresses of i n 1$ Monteleone (Mr. F. Matthews), and Antonio (Mr. Vining), ayoungprofligate, both senators of Venice su cces s the business of the piece arises out of these employing ° foal siYely Giocopo to carry off IN inetta, and afterwards the, having quarrelled about the prize, to assassinate each other, By playing the one against the other, assisted by the r`oug wit of Ninetta, Giocopo manages to mulct the a n the m patricians of five hundred sequens, and at last cheats `.loi both by marrying Ninetta himself. The acting, esP ec t i be of Keely, was excellent throughout. Nothing 0 u1 ,,,,0et finer than his mock bravoism, and the bluster and sW'rtio which he imparted to the character, seasoned with admixture of amusing cowardice, as to show that any ca t han however humble, would be more agreeable to b in ' „ i uch cutting throats. Miss Arden played her part with st iee spirit, nor must we omit to mention that full J u was done to the two amorous senators by the Vining and Mr. F. Matthews. At the close of the P icc ',:ose curtain fell amidst loud and general applause. PesP ita i eY absurdities of situation, its broad farcical c h a racter on 0 0. cellent acting will insure it, we have no doubt, a vent Neat Door, and Peter Jenkins, followed, both of whic b „, e nto off with their usual eclat. The evening's entertain e ';i e fill concluded with the revival of Aladdin, or the Ivo°, en d Lamp, which was received with as much enthusi a ''' applause as upon its first representation.
