(I'ra,isionally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 110.) Capital 1,000,0001., in 30,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 2/. 2s. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The great principal on which the projectors of this important soli. sae have acted, Is the establishment of a direct line of comma -I.i 'anon between Birmingham and Birkenheati, by the nearest pos s.! 7c route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object, it :4 proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir ro:e.:lt: in, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as far as Waiver :, nil thtlict to throw cut a new line in as straight a direction • .3: to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the rail- W_ , already - eeisting between that city and Birkenhead. A moat !is •• staid saving of distance will thus be effected. no,,,lorts that such a scheme is fraught with consequences of ths highest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec tivs d,Oriole. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de mands a ntore direct communication with the midland, southern, we P rn, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its destined greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the most lucrative of these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic which will flow to densely populated termini, propose to construct this line in gld a direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense tratlic which will resort to this railway for shortness and from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of dOrdshire, Sin,pshlre, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford ranontlishire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northanip and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as Lion and the important districts to the south, east, and Rwt fro: i tL of the:metropolis. Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident that this projected lii.e commends itself to the entire inhabitants of the counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this fur ther and great advantage—that It will, in reality, form a shorter and more direct line to the neighbourhood of Liverpool and the district adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means of the contemplated line from Chester to Holyhead, it will open the shortest p(..nsible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the delay and Inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec tion of the map of England, and a reference to the plan of this line will also show that the TrentValley,London and Birmingham, Illrmingham and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the protected Staffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily be yell:able tributaries to this important line of railway. The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, b; - wry of Market Drayton to Chester; and although in its direct course it I,:cly not pa's through many towns of importance, the engineering diflieultiea- of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local iarek, aze brought into co-operation with this Company. i:u the formation of this line the extensive iron district of Lilleshall ILis been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of transit atnnied by this Company, the ironmasters of South Stafford slii:e will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they have hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charges for freight. The Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of selection, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars. Applications for Shares to be made to Mr. W. S.

This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence, by way of Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail way which converge from Hereford, and run into the west of Eng land, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of South Wales, arid the important district of central Wales. The intended railway. will,. by means of its connexion with the Derbyshire, IVorteitters . hire,. and Staffordshire Junction, and that portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs from Dudley to Kidderminster, Complete the great chain of railway corn' out,ication betweenthe clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal awl iron ore districts of Derbyshire and iltaftbrdshire, and the large mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc tion with the Worcester and Porthdynlhten intended railway, and will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton, We inesTtury, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Sfourbridge, and the other sur:toonding towns, to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng land to inland by means of Porthdynilaen, the fliture outport for IL will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England, M-inchester, and Liverpool from South Wales, and be a direct line from the centre of Wales into the midland counties. Thus the coals and oilier minerals, and the extensive and constantly increasing ire: works of iltafThrdshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the ma nuf tetures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saitworks of Cheshire ant Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford shin,. South Shropshire, will have a direct and eheap transit. Ihk; railway is essential to complete the dhect east and west The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholders, and a vast augmentation of revenue, which will arise from the through triffic, will make the stook of the Company produce nine per cent. to convinced was an important railway company of the great traffic which would vin upon this line, that they bought up the pro m ,! .18 of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense.

But if his declaration at the time, the result of the examination instituted into the facts by indifferent persons, the reiterated averments of his friends on former occasions, and the present objec tion that has been started by his enemies all corroborate the fact that he lost his money by the connexion in question, instead of acquiring that of others ; that he is not wealthy but the reverse, the result is inevitable. We are bound to presume him culpable in no higher degree than for an error of judgment, and that to the prejudice of his own interests and fortune. This disposes of the case of mural disqualification which it has been sought to set up against him, and ought to have been allowed its full re action in his favour. If he have been on three former occasions the victim of an unfounded, and, therefore, unmaintainable imputation, that fact alone ought to have determined the balance of the Livery's opinion in his favour on the fourth. He had been grossly wronged; they ought to have now generously, although still tardily, done him right. With regard to the municipal disqualification of Mr. WOOD'S not being "rich enough" for the office of Lord Mayor, it is clearly one that neither can, nor ought to avail in any case of this kind. The question of fortune thus raised is at best but one of degree. It is to be deter mined in ten thousaud ways, according to the varying views, it may be, of each of ten thousand different electors. Therefore, it would be a test as absolutely impracticable as it is theoretically superfluous. No man, not even the bitterest of the Alderman's enemies, has attempted to say that he is labouring under that pinching want of means, that sordid poverty, which takes him out of the rank of life his civic distinction and professional standing identify him with. He is, all admit, lifted far above that pinch ing in competency of means that would raise the I presumption among even the most jealous elec toral constituency that ho would be likely to be swayed by improper appeals to his purse, or incapa ble of resisting the influence of temptations that are (and falsely and cruelly enough, by the way), s upposed to be irresistible with the positively needy. He is not even proved to be a patron of or subscriber to bubble com panies or speculation, and is therefore less likely to be unduly biassed on large questions affecting the interests of the metropolis than other al dermen, for example, who carry about them, as we have heard, railway scrip and receipts sufficent to require their being carried about in hackney-cabs to and from the civic courts of police and criminal law. This being so, with what force can influential members of the independent corporation of the greatest and most powerful city in the world require a mere quali fication, far beyond any exacted by law in can didates for the office of their chief magistrate ? A money qualification, vague, undefined, and iudetermi nable—a qualification, in virtue of which the late N. M. ROTHSCHILD ought to have been made Lord Chief Justice, from hie abundant endowment in it, if an alderman is to he excluded from presiding in the administration of the City's legal and municipal busi ness, solely by mason of his having but a limited por. tion of it. Mr. Alderman Wools is, however, a man of business, a wood lawyer, an unexceptionable magis trate—circumstances that aggravate the injustice, the cruelty which, we contend, have been shown to him in this renewed exclusion of him from the chair of the Lord Mayor. We trust he will still persevere in offering him self again to the Livery when the opportunity arrives ; and we have little doubt of his success. It is hard in deed to have put such a necessity upon him ; but we feel confident that justice will ultimately affirm his claim. The French Opposition journals for years have shown a strong disposition to excite a bad feeling between Eng land and France. The journal under the iofinence of that warlike statesman and unfair historian, M. TRIERS, displays occasionally great respect for England, and ap parent desire to remain on.good terms with her, but, at the same time, never fails to place every misunderstand- . ing between the two countries on the worst footing, and is only restrained from using strong language in consequence of the connexion which its patron has with the Court of Louis Pnimprz. Those, however, who act on the principle of worshipping the rising sun, who court the favour of the Duke DE NEMOURS, and still more that of the young admiral, the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, are less guarded in their language, and seem anxious to keep up a feeling of jealousy between the two first states in the world, with the hope that on a fitting opportunity the national antipathies might break out into open war. This uncharitable and de• structive spirit . is partly fostered, we admit, by the hatred of Republicans and Legitimatists to the Orleans dynasty, and by a conviction that •if war should take place, under the auspices of the NAPOLEON of peace, France would become a republic, or be restored to the blessed sway of the worn-out Bourbon race. We can see neither love of country nor sound warlike policy in such vain aspirations. The power of the united empire is greater at present than it was at any former period. We have few ships, it is true, in commission. We have an army of only one to four as compared with that of France, and with that army we have to guard and protect numberless colonies and establishments in every part of the globe, and besides, deduct at least one-third to control the Irish Catholics and Orange Protestants These are great drawbacks, but there is abundance o money, the sinews of war, in the country. Since the last great contest, 21:e population has increased by several millions ; the British army and navy have lost nothing of thsir prestige by the operations hi China, and the march to Caubul and the conquest of Sinde show that the British infantry retains the same high chract( r which it so nobly acquired in the Peninsula. France has not gained materially since the peace, if we except the improvement in trade, manufactures, and foreign commerce, which has token place in consequence of the judicious and peaceful reign of the present Monarch, anti the progress of that very improvement would be in stantly stopped by a collision with this country. Besides France has still a large debt, amounting to nearly three hundred millions sterling ; the interest is high, the re turns from the Customs are trifling as compared with those of England, and the great burden of taxation, therefore, falls upon the land and the industry bf the country. We have no wish, however, to continue the subject, or draw a full contrast in reference to a subject so little inviting. Our object is peace. England can gain nothing by additional glory, or additional conquests, and it should be the policy of her political writers, therefore, rather to soothe the irritability of our gallant neighbours than to provoke them by needless jealousy and angry dis cussions. The London press for a long time bore pa tiently with the tirades in the Opposition journals, and we can see no reason why they should change their tac tics. We, therefore, regret to see some indiscreet, and what we consider unfair, remarks about the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to the Breakwater at Brighton, and the arrival of two French steamers the other day at Sheerness. The Prince, it is said, was observed sound ing some parts off the coast of Brighton, as if for the purpose of making use of his observations at a future period. Never was any statement less entitled to credit. Be could not in fact judge of the position and efficacy of the breakwater without knowing the locality, and the supposition that he would make use of that knowledge to bombard Brighton de serves only the most supreme contempt. Civilized countries in general respect towns that are not fortified, and that possess no fleets, or other means of annoying an enemy. To attack defenceless towns and villages, to destroy the property of individuals without any object but mad revenge, is repudiated by modern warfare, and such an act would throw a stain upon the French character which the French them selves would be the first to denounce. Besides, have the French no reason to return the compliment, by proofs of which there can he no difficulty, that English ships-of-war have not occasionally, but regu larly, been employed for some time in taking soundings on the French coast? During the summer the Per supine steamer, under Captain BULLOCK, visited Boulogne almost weekly, and the intervals were occupied in taking soundings on both coasts Others complain that French officers were. per mitted to visit the docks at Portsmouth during the stay of Louis Pismires at Windsor, and still later, that the officers on board the two steamers which touched at Sheerness, were allowed the same indulgence. Why the French' authorities show the same civility towards Englishmen, and some Englishmen, too, that they may have more reason to fear than we have to fear the Prince DE JoINVILLE. Sir CEARLES NAPIER, known to them for his deeds on the Syrian coast, is at present, or at all events .had been lately, at Cherbourg, possibly to judge of its means of defence, and learn the French system of protecting forts against the attacks of ships-of-war. Neither the *Cher bourg journals nor those of Paris complain of his visit. We believe he has been very cordially received by the authorities, and the only circumstance that seemed to attract the notice of the editors of newspapers and the population, was the peculiarity of his drew. In this re• pct the Fre.tich have outstripped the English in civi lity, and shown an example whit h the war party in this country would do well to imitate. We have accounts from Mailnd to the 22d instant. According to the Government; journals the reports re ceived from the provinces, relative to the collection of the income-tax, were satisfactol" ; and it was understood that no further opposition would be made to it in the capital. Madrid had been di sided into two municipal divisions, for the purpose of levying the tribute with re gularity and impartiality. The north division wAs found to contain 89,870 inhabitants, and the south, 98,357—t0tal population of Madrid, 188,227. "On the 21st," says a Madrid letter, " the QUEEN held, at the baptismal font, the infant daughter of Count BRESSON, the Ambassador of France. A ceremony like this has not taken place for a long time at the palace. The Ambassador of France is equAlly charmed and Battered with this gracious favour conferred upon him by her MAJESTY." Colonel BENGI7O had been sentenced to ten years' banishment in a penal settlement for having been im plicated in the Alicante insurrection. This sentence has been approved of by the QUEEN. M. TmEns arrived at Grenada on the 16th, and was well received by the population. Crowds collected in various places anxious to see the ex-Minister, One large transaction on the Madrid Bourse is at last officially announced. The lieraldo gives the amount, 2,000,000 reals Three per Cents., at 32+, at all dates; that is to say, 31-a 1 for cash, the closing price of last week. The state of Algera during the absence of Marsha BLTGEAUD appears to . excite considerable interest in France. The public, as well as the Chambers, begin to see that purely military occupation is very ex pensive, and productive of few useful results. A Royal Commissioner is therefore to be sent into the country and report faithfully to the Government on the actual state of affairs. On this scheme the Presse says : What will he see ? Simply what it will please the Marshal's creatures to show him. The sending a commissioner is an expedient which will deceive no one, And which will simply prove that the Government wishes to gain time, or, we should rather say, that i wishes to lose more time. Has not sufficient time been already lost ? More than 250,000,000 francs have been spent in Algeria in the space of three years under the administration of Marsha EAUD, not to speak of the blood which has been shed ; and what progress have we made towards civilization ? It is not necessary to pro ceed to Algeria, and to travel from Oran to Constantine, to discover what every ene in France can clearly perceive,—the insignificance of the results on the one hand, and on the other the immensity of the sacrifices." Algeria, it must be admitted, is a very expensive conquest, and the Govern ment journals are not, averse at finding that some ether countries have been less successful. The Journal des De bats, therefore, takes another opportunity of affirming that the Russian expedition in the Caucassus is a com plete failure, and that the Government at St. Peters burgh had misled the public with regard to the results, Though we have not implicit belief in the letters pub lished in that journal, we give the following as some of the details corresponding with the statements current at Constantinople:— " Letters from that capital, referring to recent accounts from the Caucasu', announce that the whole army has re turned to its cantonments, and confirm all the details we have given of the grand expedition to Dargo. The retreat has been truly disastrous. Having left Dargo on the 13th of July (the Russian calendar), after staying there six days in order to await the grand convoy captured by Sehamil, the army had but a march of three days to react the line of the Sundja and Terek. But when it arrived on the left bank of the Aksai it was found that it would be impossible to continue the march without losing again half of the army in opening a passage fur it. Schantil and his : mountaineers were everywhere raising fresh barricades of trunks of trees, and it would have been necessary to effect as many murderous assaults as on the capture of Dargo. The Russians were encumbered with wounded, and had besides to drag twenty cannon, which proved useless throughout the expedition. At this difficult Juncture the General-in-Chief decided on establishing him self at an uncovered point, outside the forests, near a village called Chaoagal-Berdy, and the army remained there four days, blockaded by the enemy. Nevertheless, the means had been found of dispatching at great expense two natives of the auxiliary corps to General Freytag, commandant of the forts and cantonments of the Argoun and Sundja. One of the two dispatches fortunately reached him, and that • General, immediately issuing orders in all directions, con trived to muster in two days the larger part of his division, and marched to the assistance of the army with eight bat talions, three squadrons, and twelve pieces of cannon, with provisions and ammunition. Had it not been for the sea sonable arrival of this reinforcement, General Woronzoti might have sustained, on the same ground, the same check as his predecessor, General Grabbe, when he attempted the first attack on Dargo from the Aksai. It was by the Kara- Koisson that General Woronzoff had commenced operations : but, as is seen, he has not deemed it possible to return by the same road towards Tchirkei and Vnezapnaia, whence he had started, and moreover, it has been seen by the last published reports that he had ordered the three forts established at the stopping places during his march onwards to be destroyed. This protracted resistance, sometimes victorious and always invincible, humbles the Emperor, as it were, in the eyes of Europe; therefore does he wish to put an end to it at any cost by sword and fire. We may in consequence expect to see, at the very beginning of next season, another campaign opened, wherein the greatest efforts will be made, and the most formidable means of action displayed." It appears from the Paris journals that the Finance Minister is making preparations for a reduction of the postage on letters next session, and with that view had given instructions to the French authorities abroad to collect information respecting the working of the new system in England, and the systems practised throughout Europe in general. The following is said to be the proposed plan. An uni!orrn postage of 10 centimes (Id.) will be established for what is called the " Grande Banlieue," which now ex tends 40 leagues round Paris, comprising Rouen, Havre, Orleans, &c. This would be the lowest rate of postage. The maximum would be 50 centimes paid by letters coming from Toulouse, Marseilles, Per pignan, &c. Intermediate prices, varying from 10 to 50 centimes, would be requited for localities situate between the Grande Banlieue and the most distant frontiers. The Queen of GnEEcE arrived a Venice on the 18th in a French steamer. Her father, the Grand Duke of OLDENBUKG, had previously arrived there to meet her MAJESTY. The Augsburg Gazette has advices from Constant nople of the 10th, which state that the Porte has at length issued the firman authorising the buikling of a Protestant church at Jerusalem. A good deal of business was done e in the funds at Ton- TONI'S on Sunday, when the Three per Cents. were quoted at 83f. 40c., and the Fives et 117 f. 60e.

A similar accident happened on the 15th, at Dolus, in the island of Oleron, where the lightning, attracted by the spire, de stroyed nearly the whole roof, damaged the works of the clock, and made a large breach in one of the inner walls. After descending into the body of the church, where it broke the windows and injured the pulpit, the electric fluid found vent at the door. LEAGUE OPEBATIONS.—There are now upwards of thirty clerks employed at the League Rooms, working al most night and day. It appears a most formidable es tablishment. They are chiefly on the registry.—Preston Guardian. FORTIFYING SHEERNESS.—The fortifications of this garrison are to be considerably strengthened, and 70 guns are to be immediately placed on the old batteries. A detachment of the Royal Sappers and Miners has commenced work on the south side, near the drawbridge, by throwing out the mud and clay from the adjoining moat, also raising it higher, and a large number of masons has also been set to work to complete the job. The greatest activity prevails throughout the whole of the official departments, which leads the inhabitants to think that a'• storm is brewing." The newspapers of New York are full of ovations of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean. A larger audience was as sembled upon the occasion of the benefit of Mr. Charles Kean than had ever been witnessed at the Park Theatre. One journal states that it was a sea of heads from the pit to the back Seat of the fourth tier. More money had been re ceived et the treasury during their engagement than had been taken during a similar number of performances for twenty-five years. Eleven nights have realised to these artistes 1,0001. Mr. Hogg, of the Ist Life Guards, who met with so serious an accident while shooting with the Duke of Buckingham's party, is going on favourably, at his Grace's sporting seat, Wootton House, where the Marquis of Chandos has chiefly been staying with the gallant young aka since the accident ONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NE %V S (From 77te Sun of Last Night.) There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool yester day, the accounts from the United States being favourable for the crops. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Prices were withoht change. Shares were active, and still looking up. Many citizens have head with regret that Mr. John Huisldy for many years an alderman, and in tum Lord Mayor of London, departed this life on the 23d instant, at the advanced age of seventy-two years. As a magistrate, his decisions were usually on the side of mercy. The arrivals from the Colonies to-day are all of old dates. The marker for Consols has rather advanced to—day, the price having rallied to 98, both for Money and the Account. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been done at 445. 465., and for India Bonds at 595.; India Stock, 266. As to the Foreign Funds there have been but half-a-dozen quotations this morning. The Portuguese Converted were taken at 60%; Spanish Five per Cents. at 26%; the Three per Cents. at 37.4 . ; and the Equador Bonds at 4%. The settlement in the Railway Share Market can scarcely be said to have been yet completed; the transactions have consequently this morning scarcely come up to the average point.

ST. ANNE'S CHURCH, SOHO.—On Monday this church was re-opened for Divine service, having been thoroughly repaired and decorated both externally and internally. WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL.—We are glad to be enabled to state that at least one result of the late meeting of the Archceological Institute at Winchester will be a benefit to the public. The Very Rev. Dean Gamier has ordered that in future the cathedral shall be open to the public from nine till eleven in the morning, and two till four in the afternoon, being one hour previous t , each of the daily services. THE NEW IRONWORKS IN SCOTLAND.—The for ward state of the ironworks, which were commenced in spring, gives promise of some new brands of pig iron being very soon brought into this market. At Kinneil there are four furnaces completed, and arrangements are making to have them blown in durins next month, or early in Novem ber. It is not more than six or seven months since the foun dation of this work was laid, which for rapidity of erection is, we believe, unequalled in the history of the iron trade. Eg linton and Lugar are also progressing rapidly to completion, and it is expe,ted will be in blast little later than Kinneil. It will be some time longer before any of the works in Fife shire can come into operation ; but, from the well-known activity of the enterprising proprietor of the Forth works, there is little doubt that the spring of 1846 will witness the production of metal in this new field on an extensive scale. Other two new ironworks are talked of for the purpose of supplying parties who have hitherto been purchasers of pigs. One of those is certain to go on, and we expect to be able, in a short time, to notice the commencement of opera tions.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. DEATH OF SIR CHARLES GORDON OF DRIMNIN. —We regret to state that Sir Charles Gordon, the well-known and highly-respected secretary of the Highland and Agri cultural Society, died at his house, No. 6, Albyn-place, on Thursday evening last. Sir Charles, we understand, was in the fifty-third year of his age, and had held the important situation of secretary of the Highland Society for upwards of twenty years. -He received the honour of knighthood from William the Fourth, in 1836 • He had long been in a delicate state of health, though, we understand, his death was very unexpected at the last.—Edinburgh Witness. DEATH OF TUE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS OF BREADALBANE.—We have just learned that the Dowager Marchioness of Breadalbane died at Langton House, on Thursday evening last. Her ladyship, who was daughter of David Gavin Esq., of Langton, married to John, fourth Earl of Breadalbane, in 1793, and was considerably advanced in years.--Edinburgh Witness. ..,......"

We lament to find that Mr. Alderman T. WOOD is destined again, for the third or fourth time, to experience, in his own per son, the unscrupulous eagerness with which political animosity will enlist into its service the most unwarrantable assumptions of private prepossessions or prejudice. On a former occasion we entered so largely into the exposition of the injustice which we conceived to have been brought into play against this gentleman's legitimate pretensions to the highest of civic honours, that we should feel ourselves guilty of dispa raging the force of those pretensions were we to renew our exposure of the miserable objections on which they have been hitherto challenged. But, in the course of his very sensible address of Monday to the Livery, Mr. Alderman T. WOOD reduced them to a simple and forcible statement, which adequately demon strated all their -absurdity. After noticing the fact of his own rejection and the election of Mr. Alderman JOHNSON to be Lord Mayor, he apprised the Livery that he understood there had been, in the Court of Aldermen, two objections distinctly taken to him—the one, that he was not sufficiently wealthy duly to discharge the important office of Lord Mayor ; the other, that be had some years ago embarked in a speculation that turned out a failure. It is impossible not to feel astonishment at the latter circumstance being relied on for a ground of disqualification at a time like this, when the whole City of London is steeped to the very lips in a full tide of scrip speculation. Mr. Alderman WOOD'S account of his unfortunate connexion with the Talacre Company, has always appeared to us so frank and explicit, that we could never, for our own parts, comprehend the reasonableness of that scepticism which made it expedient to refer his ease to the minute inspection of third parties. But their examination and report resulted in that which every unprejudiced and unperverted mind must —and we are satisfied did—believe to be a clear and positive acquittal. The moral presumptions in this af fa;r corroborate this inference, ton, in a manner singu larly illustrated by the fact of the connexion itself. If that connexion with an unfortunate undertaking was a mere error in judgment, the mistake may impugn Mr. Alderman WOOD'S astuteness as a judge of joint-stock companies ; but the fiercest extra vagance of party spirit or personal enmity could not presume to rely on such an error as a valid or moral ' ground of disqualification for high municipal office. If the connexion be said to have originated in views of another character—in purposes of fraud or deception, or of realising money by dishonest and unworthy means — the justification of such a charge should be found in the ill-gotten gains of Mr. Alderman WOOD. But one out of the two objections started to him as a candidate for the Mayoralty has been, that he is too poor.

Every one you meet at this time of the year seems to shirk being seen, avoids you as he would a Dun, or the master of ceremonies at a watering place ; and if you stop him he drawls about the dullness of town, and declares that he is only passing through on his way to his shooting quarters. Now, it is all very fine to descant upon the emptiness of London, but the fact is, there are of railway directors alone at present in town sufficient to people a moderate metropolis ; and the exertions of the tradespeople augur no diminution of their habitual business. The front of Barry's shop in Picca dilly still teems with piles of those costly luxuries which would make even Quintin Matsy's misers loose their purse strings, and scarce any of those fairy-like fabrics which abound in his shop are to be found there on the following day. Amongst his most recent importations is a writing table, on which lie all appliances and means for authorship or correspondence—and all this looks " stationary" enough, to borrow a time honoured jeu de mots, but in the middle a por tion of the table is lifted up and reveals an elegant jardiniere. Then he has numbers of couteaux poignards set with stones, ivory-carved prayer books, with miniatures of characters, whose praise hae been hymned in sacred song, and although all of these things come from abroad, they are each and all deigned by Barry himself, so that people who abhor buying foreign goods may have the satisfaction of reflecting that they are encouraging native talent. Of Browne's magnifi cent collection of marbles, paintiugs, and articles of vertu, of every size and description, it behoves us again to speak, and again to recommend our readers to visit his splendid reposi tory of works of art; and we take this opportunity of renew ing our exhortations to them to drive up and pass a morning inUniversity-street, lest the advice whish we gave them on this subject some weeks since should have passed unheeded during the bustle and hurry of the waning season. Mr. Browne's establishment is the storehouse of art ; every country and every age since the time of Phidias and Praxiteles has furnished its quota towards this superb collection. The chefs d'oeuvre of art seem to have assembled here by mutual agreements, in order to enable the " artists in stone" (as Bulwer says), and other more perish able materials, to improve their tastes be ., the contemplation of these accumulated beauties. We shall hardly. be accused of descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, if we pass on in re vestiaria, and tales a turn round Doudney's show-rooms in Bond-street or the Bur lington-arcade. The Doudney Brothers are indeed "Arcades Ambo" themselves, and have done well to take up their abode in an arcadian quarter, instead of wasting their well-cut coats and quaint variety of waistcoats upon the desert air of Lom bard-street. Their short cloaks, with the wide sleeves, are making a great sensation, and next winter we shall see all the best-dressed men of the lay encasing their persons in these graceful garments. They have already received the meed of royal approbation, but their merits and utility will do more tbr securing the general adoption, even, than the illustrious p ... -. •lortage which they enjoy. Meantime, Doudney's cenfrere, er perhaps we should say competitor, Becker aine, the Schnei der of the Rue Neuve des Petits Champs, is not idle, but exercises his inventive powers to the utmost in designing new fashions for the fastidious Parisians. The pants Bo is who flaunt and flicker about the Boulevards and Bois de Boulogne are mostly indebted to Becker aine for their gay attire, and he rarely fails in pleasing even the most exigeant and fastidious of his customers. The habit of paying tailors, which had long fallen into desuetude in Paris, has of late been revived in this ever-changing camelion capital, and the prospect of payment has filled Becker with inspira tions which far sat pass his previous unpaid proceedings, Paris, with all its plea. entries, makes time so gallop withal. that it is absolutely necessary to have a good clock or watch to note the fleeting hours ; now, M. Capt, of the Rue d'Alger, can supply this necessary appendage as well, perhaps better than his horological colleagues, and certainly none can corn pate with him in cheapness. M. Capt dots not rely upon his flighty countrymen for obtaining that accuracy in his time trusts ttehn the detailsv e es entirely ta bo t st h hh i me s w emn o ot , r s k t m i ne minuten. h a t i t G hm e e n e e h strict e a a , piece which has secured fo r hi m suc h w id e - spread f ame, b ut naist w m.te h n— e t r i e pont h si e ts. p h ai a s it a t n o all GREAT SEIZURE of CONTRABAND GOODS. A very, large seizure has been made by Mr. G. Scanlon and Mr. D. H Watson, searchers of the Customs, and Mr. C. At kinson Davis, an extremely vigilant and active officer, acti ng under them for the last few days. In consequence of informa tion received by Davis that a vast number of Roman c ameo , for brooches, and a large quantity of French mosaic work had been passed without payment of the duty, the officers pro ceeded to the house of a person who called himself Beauvot David, in the,City-road, a stone-merchant, and after a slight search, found on the premises 1,610 cameos, of the value of 1,400/., several enamel portraits, mosaic brooches, &c., to the amount in value of 290/. They seized the goods for non payment of duty, amounting to the sum of 323/. 10d. Id , very much to the discomfiture of Mr. David. They afterwards proceeded, following up the information, to the house of a person named Marvi, whom they knew to be a constant passenger in steamers between Boulogne and London, and who resides near Golden-square, where they made a seizure of 73 cameos, of the value, duty included, of 200/. 18s. Upon further and more particular search they found in the possession of Marvi certain documents, the exa mination of which induced them to visit the house of a person of the name of Creutzer, in Middleton-street, Clerkenwell. They had not gone far in the gratification or their curiosity in this place, before they laid their hands upon cameos which were considered, including the duty, to .be worth 1,8641. Upon the premises of the first-named contraband dealer they laid their hands upon the boxes in which the above mentioned articles bad been smuggled over, and upon ques • tioning Mr. Creutzer and the man who styled himself Beauvot David, and who it appeared has also the name of Coppa, and was in charge of the premises in which the cameos were found, the latter stated that they had been delivered to him by an unknown agent. The same answer was given by Mr. Creutzer and Mr. Marvi, and all three were evidently in the same state of preparation, in case of emergency. One of the officers, in rumaging Mr. Creutzer's private transactions, pulled out a day-book, which had been kept only since February last, and in the jniddle of the book were entris of goods which Creutzer hailloceived to the amount of 214,000 francs, which had been brought into his custody without payment of duty, as was palpable from the fact that he could only produce bills and receipts for the payment of duty on such goods as had been seized to the value of the paltry sum of 10/. It may be supposed that the officers examined the books of Mr. Creutzer with no small degree of curiosity. After a little while they perceived an entry which led them to the 73 cameos, officers s t in ar e g gold, house of a very well-known and dashing jewellery concern in ornhill, where they laid their unhalloWed hands upon proceeding e o e f e the a ing value with o f ail abo u u n t eri % scent, and their sum ' success will, it is believed, be enormous. A NEW AID PROFITABLE TRADE.—The Consti tutionnel states that a poacher vilio lives between Vaux and Villearbanne, on the road u , tially taken by sportsmen after quitting the marshes where the gentry of Lyons are in the habit of goingin search of rail, snipe, &c., has th e f o ll ow i ng sign placed above his door, " Game is here provided for un successful sportsmen." The Constitutioftn e s adds, that the poacher drives a roaring trade, and is perfectly satisfied - with the patronage he receives. :~::~~ 11 3-16 266 ~` h e dll, St. tsl 111 t(t kp the ;I' 4 l t tq, C5 l tej Of Of
