OND ON and YORK RAILWAY. Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed " DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposal by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir Juhn Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in Justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from Landon to York, instead of being twenty miles, is ant more than two miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by hls own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 1851 miles.

Hunt, Whitehall, London. Mr. Robert Rising, t Worcester. Mr. Fred. Thomas Elgie, The Line is proposed to branch out of the Grand Junction Rail. way near to Wolverhampton, and to have a station within a quarter of a mile from the centre of that town. From thense it will pass ever a densely populated mining and manufacturing district in the immediate vicinity of extensive iron, nails, iron hardware, glass, fire-brick, and numerous other manufactories, through the popu lous towns of Bilston, Tipton, and Dudley, to Stourbridge, with a Branch Line between the two last-named places to Kingswinford, a neighbourhood abounding in mines and manufactures; and which towns and district, containing together a population of upwards of 200,009, are now (with the exception of Wolverhampton) deprived of the advantages arising from railway communication. From Stourbridge the Line will proceed to Kidderminster, which, with the neighbouring towns of Bewdley and Stourport, contains a po pulation of about 28,000. The great carpet manufactories of Kid derminster are too well known to need comment, and the principal portion of their productions is sent to London for sale. From Kid derminster the Line will proceed to Droitwich, where there are large manufactories of salt. Between Kidderminster and Droitwich a Branch Line will be made to Stoke Prior (joining there the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway), where there are extensive salt, soap, and chemical manufactories. The works at Droitwich and Stoke already consume not less than 100,000 tons of coal per annum, and if brought into imme diate connection with the extensive coal-field through which this Railway will pass, the consumption will no doubt be materia'ly in creased. From Droitwich the Line will proceed to the City of Worcester (where there will be a Branch, about one mile, to the Severn, for the purpose of communicating with that river for goods). This City contains a population of 27,000, and is an Im portant market for agricultural produce, hops, fruit, cider, &e., as well as the principal seat of the glove and porcelain manufactures in the kingdom. It is intended that the Line shall cross the Birm ingham and Gloucester Railway about four miles from Worcester, between that city and Pershore, so as to afford a direct Railway communication with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bath, Bristol, and the West of England. From Worcester, to Pershore, Evesham, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-the-Marsh, and from thence, by the valley of Even lode, to Oxford, the district is principally agricultural. A com munication with the Stratford and Moreton Railway will be made at the latter place; and in reference to the advantages of this por. tion of the Line it will perhaps suffice to make the following ex tract from the Report of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, the late Inspector-General of Railways, who, with Professor Barlow, was employed by her Majesty's Government in 1840, to examine and report on the best Line of communication between London and Dublin : " We cannot close this Report without observing that, Rom the favourable nature of the country for a Railway from the Great Western Railway at Dudcot, and from thence to Worcester, and from the skilful manner in which It Is proposed to extend the Line to the last.named city, we are of opinion that at no distant period this project will be carried into effect. This Line would take from Oxford nearly a central course between the Birmingham and Great Western Lines, and afford railway accommodation to a district which cannot derive much advantage from any other Line. " This convenience would extend even to Worcester, notwith. standing that the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway will pass at no great distance, for the length of the journey from London round by Birmingham will be at least 138 miles ; whereas, by the projected Line through Oxford to Worcester, it would be only 118 miles—a distance of twenty miles in favour of the latter; and, taking Into account the greater average speed of the Great Western Railway, t h pre ran he no doubt that at least one hour in time would be gained between London and Worcester, and the traveller would save from ss. to fie. in his fare." With reference to the portion of the Line from Wolverhampton to the point of junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway below Worcester, it may also be observed that, in the year 1837 a Bill was introduced into Parliament for making a Railway between those places, called the Grand Connection:Rail. way, the Line of which was greatly inferior to the one now se lected in respect of contiguity to the most important towns ; and the following is an extract from the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, who sat upon that Bill: " The present means of conveyance and communication have been proved to be insufficient for agricultural, commercial, menu lecturing, and other purposes, as well between the proposed ter_ mini as between the towns on the Line of Railway and towns to be connected with them by other Lines of Railway already sane. tioned. " The average amount of traffic by land is 61,119/. 4s. ; by water, 45,3141. 2s. 3d. " The number of passengers expected on the proposed Railway is 168,440. " The weight of goods expected on the Railway is 282,890 tons ; and the description of goods are the staple manufactures of the towns which the Railway approaches, besides wool, grain, fruit, hops, cider, Manchester goods, groceries, teazles, coal, and other general merchandise and agricultural produce. " The amount of income expected to arise from the conveyance of passengers is 31,751/. 18s. 4d., and for goods, 74,680!. This amount of income is independent of that which the promoters of the Bill expect to derive from a new or increased traffic on the Line. The largest revenue on goods is expected to be derived from the carriage of the produce of the various staple manufactures of the to wns which the Railway approaches, and a considerable income is anticipated from the carriage of coal." In addition to the Passenger traffic specified in the above Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, this Line will af ford communication for Passengers from Ireland landing at Liver pool, and from the northwest with the south-east of England, by means of the continuation of the Great 'Western Railway from Reading to Basingstoke, where it will be connected with the South ampton and Portsmouth Railways, as well as its being a direct line to London, via Oxford, from the important towns and districts through which it passes. The Passenger traffic alone ought to afford a satisfactory return on the capital proposed to be invested; but when it is shown that this Line will supply the existing want of a direct Railway con voyaoce to London and the south-east of England, for the produce of ouch extensive Colleries, Iron Manufactories, anti other Works as support a population of upwards of 200,000 persons in the South Staffordshire and Worcestershire Mining districts, and will also provide for conveying the produce of Kidderminster, Stoke Works, Droitwich, and Worcester, and the agricultural districts intersected by it, to their appropriate markets, it may confidently be asserted that there is not a district of country in the kingdom now unoccupied by railway which affords so great a prospect of re. mnneration. In addition to these claims on public attention and support, the Committee of Management have concluded an arrangement with the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company, conditional on the necessary preliminaries for proceeding with the Bill in Par liament being completed, and subject to the sanction of their Pro prietary, by which a guarantee of Three and a Half per Cent. per Annum on the estimated Capital, with half the surplus profits, will be secured to the Shareholders in this undertaking. And in the event of its being found necessary to expend a greater sum than 1,500,0001. in constructing the Line (but which amount is esti. mated to be more than sufficient for the purpose), the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company have agreed that interest on such additional amount, provided the same does not exceed 250,0001., shall be paid previously to any division of profits being made, Persons assured according to the rates are allowed credit (with. out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre. miums, paying Interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy becomes a claim. Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

Extract from the Half Credit Rates of Premium. Annual Premium required for an Assurance of 1001., for the Whole Term of Life. Whether this diffbrence of five and a half mile* san be realised by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe. ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Ritchie, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retferd, Bawtry, and Doncaster, net one of which is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren. nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1838, and in that year carried into Parliament That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis. sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841.

The following instructions and orders have been issued from time to time to the New Police by the Rome Secretary and the Police Commissioners. ['hey are in general deserving of praise, and, were they faithfully o b e y e d, we s h ou ld hear fewer com plaints against that body. They are taken from i useful publication, entitled " The Police and Con stabulary List" for October, 1844 : EXTRACTS FROM INSTRUCTIONS. POLICE CONSTABLE. Every police constable in the force may hope to rise 'ly activity, intelligence, and good conduct, to the supe ,ior stations. He must make it his study to recommend himself to notice by a diligent discharge of his duties, ind strict obedience to the commands of his superiors. recollecting, that he who has been accustomed to submit e) discipline w ill be considered best qualified to com mand. lie will devote the whole of his ;time and abilities to die service. Ile is at all times to appear neat in his per son, and correctly dressed in his established uniform ; his demeanour must always be respectful towards his dlicers. • He should clearly understand what powers are given to him by law for the efficient execution of his duties. For this purpose, he is recommended to read carefully the instructions given to him respecting the general ' duties of a constable. On no pretence shall he enter any public-house, except in the immediate execution of his duty : such a breach of positive order will not be excused : the publican him self is subject to a severe fine for allowing him to remain in his house. No liquor of any sort shall be taken from a publican without paying for it at the time. 1 If during the to ur o f his duty he observes in the street anything likely to produce danger or public incon venience, or anything which seems to him irregular and offensive, he must report it to the sergeant. He will bs civil and attentive to all persons, of every rank and class ; insolence or incivility will not be passed over. While on duty, ho must not enter into conversation with any one, except on matters relating to his duty. He must be particularly cautious not to interfere idly or unnecessarily ; when required to act, he will do so with decision and boldness ; on all occasions ho may ex pect to receive the fullest support in the proper exercise of his authority. He must remember that there is no qualification more indispensable to a police-officer than a perfect command used ouch conduct hisct willdu if temp er , never suffering himself to be move d i n th e lightest degr ee by any l anguage or thereats that may e ; su if tpyrionbaablyquiet u c a e n d w e d i l e - t e d irspm posed n s e a / manner, by-standers to assist him, should he require it. In case of a fire taking place, the constable at the spot will give immediate alarm, by springing his rattle ; he should, as soon as possible, send information to the divi ,ion station, and, until the arrival of some superior officer, from whom he may receive further orders, he will exert himself in any way likely to be most useful, as in keeping the space near the spot clear, assisting in remov ing property, sending for a police force from the nearest section residences, giving notice to the fire-offices, en ne-keepers, turncocks, &c. No man who is any great distance from the fire should leave his beat ; as depre dators may take advantage of his absence. For his exertions upon these or any other extraordi nary occasions, the commissioners may recommend him to the Secretary of State for a reward ; but on no pre ence shall he receive a gratuity from any person for Anything relating to his duty ; this will always bo visited with immediate dismissal.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A new drama, in three acts, was produced at this theatre last evening, with the most triumphant suc cess. It is an adaptation, by Gilbert A'Beckett and Mark Lemon, from the French of some modern author, we presume ; but so thoroughly Spanish is it in its construction, so completely Gil Blas like in its language, its incidents, and its intrigue, that it might well pass for a recovered fragment from the pen of Lesage. It is entitled Don Cesar de Bazan, and it might very appropriately have been en titled Air. James Wallack, for he is Don Caesar de Bazan, and Don Cmsar is the play. This said Don Caesar is a roué nobleman, reckless, ruined, and chivalrous. In a street affray in Seville he has done some service to Maritana (Mrs. Stirling), a Gitana girl, and she, out of gratitude, saves him from the fury of the mob in Madrid. Lazarilla (Miss Marshall), an orphan boy, in the service of an ar mourer, appeals to Don Cxsar to save him from arrest. Don Csesar attacks and wounds the captain of the guard sent to arrest the boy, and is condemned to die. Don Jose (Mr. Fitzjames), the Minister of Charles 11., King of Spain (Mr. Walton), visits Don Cmsar in his dungeon. The wily Minister has dis covered that the King loves Maritana, and promises Don Cassar ' who is penniless, that he w ill provide for Lazarilla, and change the mode of his execution from hanging to shooting, if he will consent to marry a veiled lady ten minutes before his death. He does consent, and Maritana is led in veiled. The marriage takes place, the dis charge of musketry is heard, and the drop scene falls on the first act. The second act opens with a fete at the Marquis di Rotondo's (Mr. Granby), the uncle of Don Cmsar. Maritana is there, and the King is introduced to her as Don Cmsar de Bazan, her husband. She turns from him in horror, the guests leave the room, Maritana accompanying the Marquis. Don Jose is left alone, when Don Cxsar enters; he has seen a carriage with his own armorial bearings at the door; has discovered that it belongs to his wife, and is come to seek her. Don Jose, who has so managed that a pardon for Don Caesar should not arrive until an hour after his execution, is thunderstruck at finding him alive. Don Cmsar, however, explains all ; the ar mourer's boy had drawn the balls from all the mus kets, and when fired at, of course Don Cmsar could not do less than fall down and lie still. The old Marchioness di Rotondo (Mrs. Fosbroke) is intro duced to him as his wife; he is about to renounce her for ever, when the Countess de Bazan is announced, and he sees Maritana proceeding to her carriage. He rushes out to follow her in spite of the resistance of Don Jose, and the second act is brought to a termi nation. The third act opens at a country house near the palace of Aranjuez. Don Jose has conducted Ma ritana thither, and having introduced the King as Don Cmsar de Bazan, leaves for the palace to betray the King to the Queen, in the hope of forwarding his own suit to her Majesty. Maritana rejects the King with loathing—she has been deceived—he is not the man she believed to be Don Caesar, she retires, and the real Don Caesar enters through a window. The King, who announces himself as Don Csesar de Bazan, the master of the chateau, asks the intruder his name, to which Don Cassar coolly replies, " I am the King of Spain," and observing his surprise, adds, " Ay, as frilly as you are Don Ctesar de Bazan." He then letmiss for L b .' first time that ho has been pardoned, and then having lock' 5.71 the door so as to prevent all egress, he informs the fsiii; of the treason of se onour Don Jose, and his attempts upon r 2... 1 of the Queen. The King, who is roused almos:- madness by the intelligence, is at length calmed, when I)on Caesar tells him that he has revenged him by killing Don Jose. Don Ctesar is pardoned, and re warded with the hand of Maritana, and all ends hap pily. The acting of James Wallack was perfect—he was fitted in the character of Don Cmsar to a nicety, and he did it ample justice. Mrs. Stirling made the utmost of the interesting little character of Maritana ; and Miss Marshall, as the boy Lazarilla, made a great deal of a very insignificant part. There was some pretty incidental music by W. Is. Phillips; the scenery and costumes were elegant rand appro• priate. It was announced for repetition by Wallach amidst the unanimous applause of a very crowded house. The Earl and Countess of Linealn arrived in town yesterday evening. EXTRACTS FROM ORDERS. The commissioners direct that in future the inspectors on duty shall not take into custody any person brought in by a police constable on the ♦ague charge of " ob structing the constable in the execution of his duty." If such charge is to be made, it must be accompanied by a specification of particulars. The commissioners have to draw the attention of the whole force to the frequent recurrence of charges, " ob structing police officers in the performance of their duty ;" the commissioners wish to discourage this prac- Lice, and expressly state, that the police constable is not authorised to take any one into custody without being Able to prove some specific act by which the law has been broken. No constable is justified in depriving any one of his liberty for words only, and language, however violent towards the police constable himself, is not to be noticed ; the constables are particularly cautioned not to answer angrily, or enter into altercation with any per son while on duty. A constable who allows himself to be irritated by any language whatsoever, shows that he has not a command of his temper, which is absolutely necessary in an officer invested with such extensive powers by the law. The inspectors on duty are to examine strictly all cases of this sort brought before them, and upon every occasion explain to the constable the necessity of discre tion and forbearance in an officer of the law. The com missioners will feel themselves compelled hereafter to punish with the utmost severity any disobedience or neglect of this order. The commissioners having received information from various sources, that the constables are in the habit, while on duty, of entering into conversation with ser vant-girls and other females, it is necessary to call to the notice of the constables that such conduct is directly contrary to the orders of the 20th of April last ; and if any one should be reported hereafter for misconductinc himself in this way, he will be dismissed from the police force. The commissioners perceive, from several cases that have lately come before them, that a proper degree of order is not preserved in the watch or station-houses ; that parties coming there on business have not met with that civility and attention which ought to be shown to every one. It is now ordered, that in future, a police constable shall be posted at the door of the station-house, and he is to answer in the first instance any one who comes there ; if the party has business there, or otherwise wishes it, he is immediately to be shown to the inspector on duty, who will give him the necessary information, or direct him where he is to apply. No one shall be allowed to remain in the station-house, except for the necessary time his business requires ; and the inspector is to be immediately informed, should any one remain contrary to these orders. The commissioners have again to point out to the police constable the impropriety of interfering with per sons for standing or talking together in the streets. It has appeared in several instances lately, that people who were merely talking together have been desired to " move on ; ' and much opposition to the police con stables and bad feeling towards them, has been in conse quence created. The constables are also to recollect upon all occasions, that they are required to execute their duty with good temper and discretion ; any instance of unnecessary violence by them, in striking a party in their charge, will be severely punished. A constable must not use his staff because the party in his custody is violent in behaviour or language. The constables are not to use language towards parties in their custody cal culated to provoke or offend them ; such conduct often creates a resistance in the party, and a hostile feeling amongst the persons present towards the constable. The constable is always to bear in mind that, in taking any one into custody, he is not justified in doing more than is absolutely necessary for the safe custody of the par ties. whilst he conveys them to the station house. The commissioners take this opportunity of acquaint ing the police force, that they have heard, from several quarters, praise of their conduct at the former levees; and the commissioners wish strongly to impress on their minds the necessity, on all such occasions, of their acting with the utmost temper and forbearance towards all per sons, and giving assistance to all who may require it ; the people should be treated with good humour and civility, and no severity used, except in cases of the utmost necessity. The commissioners think it right again to caution every man in the police force, at a time when an attempt is made to create a strong prejudice against them, that they should do their duty with every possible moderation and forbearance, and that they should not furnish a just ground of complaint against themselves by any mis conduct. This caution is to be understood as applying to all cccasions, but particularly to those on w hien they are called out in large bodies. It is highly desirable that the constables should not use their truncheons in any manner that may cause annoyance or irritation, except when absolutely necessary. The prisoners in every place of confinement under the charge of the police aro to be visited once every hour ; the cells are to be entered, and a particular observation of each individual made by an officer appointed for that purpose, who is to report to the inspector or officer on duty the state all the prisoners are in. Immediate attention is to be given to any case requiring assistance or medical aid. The commissioners feel it necessary again to call the attention of the inspectors on duty at the station to the orders repeatedly given respecting the treatment of par ties coming on business to the station-houses. The in spectors may rest assured, that whenever it shall appear that there has been a want of calmness and propriety of manner by them of the utmost civility to all persons, the —issioners will mark by severe punishment their corm,— —at misconduct. sense of so authorised to arrest or assist in ar- A constable is -tv a p ers on charged with au m resting, or to take into cu ., ,t if a person in the pre c... assault, when the assault wa s nor ,;ninlit,t c-1 : senee, or within view of the constable ; has been cut or wo unded, and gives into etistly the party charged with hav in g cut or wounded him, tn., constable is authorised to take the p art y into his custod y , and keep him in safe custody until he can be brought before a magistrate.

When vacancies occur in the office of superintendent, inspector, or sergeant, it is desirable that encourage ment should be given to meritorious men serving in the subordinate stations, by their promotion to the higher stations, when they are qualified. Pay.—The following rates of pay are intended to be exclusive of any expenses for the purchase of a horse or forage, for which, when a horse is necessary, a separate allowance should be made:— The chief constable's pay is to be not less than 2501. or more than 500/. a year. The superintendent's pay not less than 751. or more than 150/. The inspector's pay not less than 651. or more than 1201. a year. The weekly pay of the sergeant is to be not less than 19s. or more than 255. The weekly pay of the constable is to be not less than 15s. or more than 21s. Constables are mot to receive any fees, which, by the 17th section of the 3d and 4th Vict., c. 88, are to be paid to the treasurer of the county; but the above rates of ray are intended to be exclusive of any allowance under the 18th section of the 2d and 3d Vict., c. 93. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM VIE MORNING P APERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10} per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. iOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 41 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.35 per eery. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgli the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10it1. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 91 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 91, it follows that gold bears the same price at. both places. We are requested to state, for the information of the Spanish bondholders, that the Committee are daily expect ing a reply to their letter, dated the 19th of August last, forwarded through the Foreign-office. The delay may be accounted for by the absence of Mr. Bulwer from Madrid ; and as the Minister of Finance has in a great measure satisfied the claims of the local creditors, he can scarcely refuse to give his attention to the further liqui dation of the foreign debt. A correspondence between the London and Liverpool Societies for the registration of Bristol and foreign ship ping has just been printed. The first letter of the series, which is dated last July, is from the Liverpool Society, and represents to the London one, that the time has ar rived fir defining more clearly the rules and regulations that relate to the building of new ships, and generally for revising the rules for classification. The London So ciety (Lloyd's) in answering this communication, ad mits the truth of the assertion made on the Liverpool side, that over-production of British shipping since 1833 has partly caused the depression under which this inte rest is labouring ; but while they profess their willing ness to receive suggestions, they are averse from making alterations in their rules. In a subsequent letter, the Liverpool Society, after several suggestions relative to shipping, make the following observations, which ar• die most important part of the correspondence : " Experience has convinced them, that a local com mittee is essential to the publics interests of the impor tant port of Liverpool, and to the merchant-shipping, which resort to it, the work of which cannot consistently with those interests be left to the mere reports of the surveyors, owing (with other reasons) to the peculiar regulations of the port and the arrangements of the public graving docks. The underwriters and merchants require this protection no less than the ship-owners. Should these views be adopted, on e b oo k of registry would be sufficient, the local committee would super intend the work of this port, and transmit the decisions and surveys to the London committee for publication. The surplus fees, after paying the local expenses, would be transmitted to London also." The answer to this letter is the communication of a resolution passcd by the London committee, that no alteration can be made in the fundamental rules of the society. This of course implies that the sug gestion quoted above is not to be adopted, and the Liverpool party publish the correspondence, to show the shipping interest the pains they have taken for their welfare. A correspondent, adverting to the favourable accounts recently transmitted of financial affairs in Portugal, is of opinion that the creditors may now with propriety look for a more rapid increase of the interest on the Con verted Stock, considering that the foreign debt does not exceed 9,486,0001.—a small sum in proportion to the re• sources of the country. The interest on this sum at 23- per cent., the rate which Portugal has paid for the last three years, amounts to 237,650/. sterling ; and our let ters from Lisbon state, that by the economical plans of Baron Tojal an annual saving of 118,0001, or half the amount required for interest, has been effected, with every prospect of fresh benefits to be derived from new judi cious plans. tinder these circumstances, it is not unrea sonable for creditors to hope to participate in the general prosperity. In consequence of the attention which is now paid to this stack, we subjoin the article of the Portuguese decree of the 2d of Nov., 1840, regulating the rate at which the interest is to increase : " Article 5. The interest on the new stock will be pay able half-yearly on the Ist of January and Ist of July each year, at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum from January, 1541, to December, 1844 ; of 3 per cent. from 1845 to 1848 ; of 4 per cent. from 1849 to 1852 ; of 5 per cent, in the following eight years, from 1853 to 1860; and of 6 per cent. from 1861, as long as may be neces sary for the integral reimbursement of the part of the interest unpaid during the first 12 years, returning af terwards to the rate of 5 per cent. until the stocks shall be completely redeemed." SUN.—Consols closed at about the quotations of the morning, viz , 1001 t i for Money, and loot sl for Account. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were 103. Bank Stock receded to 2084. The Foreign Bonds remained about the same. Spanish Actives were 231, and the Three per Cents. 341 Por • tuguese Converted were 504 to 51.

Ilayter, painter in ordinary and painter in history to her Majesty, was held last evening, at the Coach and Horses Inn, Brighton, before Mr. Gell. Her Ladyship, who is 64 years of age, had been lodging at Brighton for a fort night, and on Sunday went to dine with her neices, the Misses Cannon, in Montpelier-road. On her way thither she was attacked by paralysis, of which, notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Drummond, a surgeon, residing in Regency-square, who was immediately sent for, she died 1335 ween 16 and 7 o'clock in the evening. The Misses Cannon had engaged other lodgings in Broad-street, and had to leave Montpelier-road by noon on Monday ; and, under these circumstances, the body was sent to Mr. Ponne's, the undertaker, early on Monday morning, in order to be encotlined preparatory to being sent to Lon don for interment. The circumstance got bruited abroad on Monday ; in consequence of which the High Con stable interfered to prevent the further removal till an inquest could be held. The jury returned a verdict of— " Died by the visitation of God," and condemned in strong terms the removal of the body, which took place with the surgeon's sanction, as a course which, if carried into practice, would render coroner's inquest a complete nullity. THE AMERICAN LlNERS.—Another new vessel has been built at New York, and is intended to take her place as one of the regular line of packet ships trading between London and New York, in addition to the already extensive fleet of ships employed on that station. She is called the Northumberland, and is daily expected to arrive, having been advertised to sail again for New York on her return passage on the 27th inst. She is scale than either of the last new ones, the reported to be larger and altogether on a more .c s t p o l ri en a d o id r The St. James, which arrived i I in n addition to a large Prince Albert, splendid as they are athc k e ng s w t. lei r i g a i e th d en to .n be es .

A vessel sails from either port every ten days, and the voyage is invariably made with remarkable regularity and exactness. CHURCH BELLS.—The Irish Ecclesiastical Journal informs the clergy that they can substitute cast steel bsrs fur the ordinary church bells with considerable ad vantage, as regards both tune and cheapness. Any clergyman can procure for thirty shillings a bar of cast producing a better tone than the ordinary small churcii bells, which cost from 41. to 61—Limerick Chronicle. THE PROVISION CONTRACT.—We are happy to per ceive that the highly respectable firm of John Russell, of this city, has obtained the greatest portion of the con tract, which limit be productive of greatilocal benefit. It is almost needless to add that the entire provision con tract will be made up in Ireland. There was no con tract last year.
