This lino is intended to commence at the station of the Oxford, Worcester, :tad Wolverhampton hallway at Dudley, and to run Into the lire of the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham, and it is also propascal to hare additional stations (for local traffic) as near the centre of each of those towns as circumstances will permit. The Foe will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of Old bury, Westbromwich, Handswortla and Smethwick, and in its course, will afibrd railway accommodation to a manufacturing and mining population of upwards of quartera of a million. The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the aheve halication of the course of the intended line, must abutalantly satisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traf.ic, both in goods and passengers ; and it is almost un necessary to speak further of so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for such a district. The intended line will not in terfere with any existing railway, but will materially extend the usethiners of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and afford to the populous districts, around the direct benefit of fair and liberal competition in passenger convey ance, and in the transit of their industrial products to their principal markets. The number of oinnibuscs, coaches, and swift canal packet-beats continually travelling between the termini afford the strongast oast:trance of the prospect of a large passenger traffic, 111111 e the bulky nature, and vast extent of the mining and manufac turing prcidaee of the district equally vouch for th .t in goods, and the white leaves no doubt but that the financial returns af such an un dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capitalexpendcd. In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained that the line is highly favourable, so that, altogether, there is probably no rail way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of capita lists in general. No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act shall be obtained, and power will be applied for in such Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on the deposits and calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. Applications for shares in the annexed form may be addressed to the solicitors. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of rail ways in England, especially those emanating from the grand centre of intercourse, London, there are inany wealthy and populous dis tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance. tOr instance, is that between Reigate and Windsor—a country unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a vast number of whom are connected more or less with mercantile pursuits, and, consequently, In frequent habit or necessity of reach ing the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali ties. Tiieeo considerations, weighty in th eruselves, but light in com parison wish others, first gave rise to the present undertaking; and when It 1.3 eonsidered that this line of thirty miles will be the con nectini; link of five of the largest railways in England, through which it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally independent of its exteesive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical, that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery in the present system of railway communication. There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction ; among which may be named the London and l'ortsrn outh Direct ; Epsom, Brighton, and Arundel; Reigate And Reading ; London, Staines, and Ascot; Direet London and Exeter, &e. The lino is Litended to commence at the Iteiga to station of the London and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its course along the picturesque vale of Mickleham, at the foot of Box hill and Barbary, following as near as may be the river Mole to Leatherhead ; alter which it will pass through the parishes of Fetch= and Stoke D'Abernon, an d at the back of Claremont, the property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near Esher, Walton, and- Wey bridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot, Windsor, Eton, and Slough ; and terminating at the Slough station of the Groat Western Railway. _ _ _ In addition to the many sources of income to be derived from the conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent., it will afford a dir,t and continuous railway comm unication for the accommoda tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London, Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton ; thus approximatingone with the other her Majesty's five favourite residences, and avoiding the present inconvenient changes from the railway to the road, and from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this railway is designed to conneet. It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare mont, for the use of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also to forward the views of the Company. It may be as well to acid, that the whole country has been care fully selected. so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion of the line, and the land th rough which it will take its course is, on an average, considerably below the usual value of property ; and, lastly, having obtained the sanction of the most influential proprietors throughout the line, no opposition can be made or sustained against the prouicters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour to obtain a Bill to Incorporate the Company early In the next ses - sMn.

Kings as well as subjects,—governments as well as the governed,—are amenable to its decrees. Its decrees are not to be made amenable to the policy (f governments, or the wishes of kings. If immortality could be attributed to any human institutions, we should say that the simple substitu tion of the judge's tenure of office in this country of quamdiu se bene geserit," for the old feeal tenure of durante berg plac!to, bad added incalculable ages to the life of the British Constitution. In a country like Spain, still distracted by contending factions, and not yet recovered from the exhausting struggles of a civil war,—where military violence is the lever, and roya!ty the machinery of an oppressive and sanguinary Go vernment,—a Government, the action of which is only felt in the fierce disorganization produced by the irregular im pulses of its resentments or its fears, it is natural to expect that the office of the judge should be by no means identified with the fountain of justice. We have lately read, however, with more astonishment than we ought to feel, of a new ex cess of that irresponsible tyranny in Spain, whose excesses seem to multiply both in character and extent in every succeeding year. It seems that Senor VALOR, the judge who presided at the recent trial of MADOZ, LOPEZ, CORTINA, and others indicted for political offenc:s, has been summarily dismissed by the Majesty (?) of Spain, either in resentment for permitting that trial to eventuate in an acquittal, which, if it be not intended openly to affirm that law and justice are mere impostures in Spain,VALOR could not prevent; or for his having permitted the accused in the course of their defence severely to reflect irpon her Most Catholic MAJESTY'S most nefarious Government. Why, before any human tri bunal this right should not only not be challenged, but must, in the nature of things, be constantly exercised by every pri soner who is not brought up for sentence instead of fur hear ing, in the first place—who is not gagged or deprived of the organs of speech, or of his senses at the time of his " cora peering " before such jurisdiction. If he plead "not guilty" to charges preferred against him by- the officers of an Executive, whose acts he has resisted, be of course seeks to establish his plea by showing in what particulars they who persecute him have exceeded the law or their own functions. The Judge, and the Commission, or the jury appointed to try him, can alone be competent to determine to what extent he has succeeded or failed in his attempt. If they acquit the laws under which they were appointed we must presume that they have fulfilled, not violated, their duty by such acquittal. If they be punished by the Spanish Sovereign for preferring to do their duty as judges to con sulting the wishes of her Ministers as the creatures of the Court, we predict for all Spaniards a yet more terrible humiliation than that which has been inflicted upon them in the disgrace of Senor VALort. The next step in the march of arbitrary and vindictive oppression will be to visit personal, perhaps capital, punishment on such of fenders in place of mere official dismissal and degrada tion. If the Spanish people permit such a manifestation of capricious tyranny as this to be directed, with impunity, against one of the most important functionaries that can be recognised in any civilised state—they are fallen indeed to the lowest level of domestic villainage and slavery that ever excited, in the countries of the neighbouring African C'oitti nent, the contempt or the pity of their Gothic ancestors'! The only topic of interest, or rather amusement, iiithe Paris papers is furnished by another letter froth that *dm prehensible character, Marshal BUGEAUD. His epistles since the tad news from Algiers have been most useful in relieving the public mind, and the last, especiallpi has turned sorrow into laughter. This letter pretends to eXylain the manner in which his first production got into a pekin cial paper, but most of the journals, according to Calienani, " are unanimous in regarding the explanation as a mere i trick contrived between the Marshal and the Governmiiit,' to prevent the necessity of any proceeding on the part of.the latter against him, and they infer that, as tlMJlarslifilis to go scot free after this equivocal retractation, means will next be taken to enable the Prefect of the Dordogne to *lain away his share of this affair also. Some of ot4contempo raries, indeed, think it possible that the Prefect may be no minally made a sacrifice, but that he will be lardy indem nified for being made the scapegoat of Marshal Generally speaking, the journals profess to be so Amused by what they call the farce of explanation, that they are more sa tirical than violent in their way of noticing it." The Constitu tionnel thus alludes to the scheme for shielding both the Mar shal and his friend the Prefect :--" The following is a new story respecting the famous letter of Marshal BUGEAUD. M. DE MAhcluAc, it is said, on receiving it was so imprudent which be now deeply laments, as to read it to a third person: an intimate acquaintance of his. This person, considering the letter exceedingly curious, and possessing an extraordi nary memory, retained it, and then wrote it out, and trans mitted it to the Conserrateur de la Dordogne. In this way some alterations of no importance were ir.troduced into the formidable epistle. On seeing the letter in print M. DE MAR ciu Ac, in despair, wanted to stop the journal at the post office, but it was too late. Whilst waiting for some other in vention, we leave our readers to judge of the probability of this story." The following is the letter in question, which was addressed to the editor of the Semaphore de Marseilles "Marseilles, Oct. 13. "Mr. Editor—l read ill your journal of this day a letter, which lam stated to have written to the Prefect of the Dordogne. It is quite true that, on hearing of the news from Africa, I wrote to that magistrate, who is an old friend of mine, in order to request that he would send me post horses at Excideuil ; at the same time, I communicated to him the information that I had received re specting those grievous events. As I wrote amidst the emotion consequent on first impressions, I cannot perfectly remember the words I used in my letter; but I can warrant that those reflections have been very inaccurately given by the individual who was commissioned to make an extract from that dispatch (for it is but an extract), solely, no doubt, as concerned the events in Africa, and who must have taken upon himself to arrange in his own fashion considerations which never ought to have found place in such a publication. What I can loudly affirm is, that my letter was entirely confidential, and the epanchentent of an old friendship, which should have had no publicity whatever. I know not the cir cumstances that have made a letter, the meaning of which is se riously falsified, reach the eyes of the public. I deplore the cir cumstance with mutes les forces demon time et demon esprit. I am, nevertheless, perfectly convinced that it has been done con trary to the intentions of the Prefect of the Dordogne, if net even without his knowledge, by the agency of some indiscreet and ill_ intentioned person. I have the honour to request, sir, that you will insert this letter in your next number.—Receive, Sic. " The Governor-General of Algeria, " Marshal Duke n'lss.v." The following are other extracts from the papers " Their Majesties and her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide came to Paris on Tuesday at noon, and remained until nearly sik, when they returned to St. Cloud. In the evening their Majesties received the British Ambassador, the Charge d'Affaires of Spain, Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, &c. •• The price of bread at Paris for the remainder of the present month le fixed at 38 centimes the kilogramme." The following firman, dated Sept. 10th, has been addressed by the SULTAN to the Governors of Saida and Jerusalem : " The English Ambassador at our Court recently represented to me that the English subjects and Prussian Protestants visiting Jerusalem experienced difficulties and obstacles in the exercise of Protestant worship on account of their having no church, and he asked me for authority to erect for the first time at Jerusalem a private church for Protestant worship within the limits of the British Consulate. As the friendly relations that subsist between the Sublime Porte and the Courts of England and Prussia require that this application should be granted, I have on this considera tion granted my imperial authorisation, and in consequence of my imperial decision the Divan has issued the present decree. You, the Governors of Saida and Jerusalem, and the other fuctionaries of Syria, when you shall know that I have authorised the esta blishment of a church for Protestant worship at Jerusalem, will see that no person shall oppose it, and you will take good care not to act contrary to my orders." " The Archduchess Maria LouisaiDuchess of Parma, arrived at Trieste on the 7th, from Vienna, and left on the following day in a steamer for Venice, on her return to Parma. " The German Journal of Frankfurt states from Cologne that the Protestant Princes of Germany will almost immediately hold a sort of congress by deputies, on the measures proper to be adopted fur the protection of the Protestant religion.

The public must have read with satisfaction many speeches made at agricultural meetings during the present autumn. That class bigotry, and cry fur protection, the violent denun ciations against the League and the Whig Ministers, the bur dens on land, and other notes of lamentation and despair have almost entirely disappeared, and the landlords now exhibit themselves in company with other rational people, who know that if they do not help themselves no others will help them. At the meeting of the Chertsey Agri cultural Association, held on Thursday, these symp toms of change were more than usually conspi cuous, and, among others, we have great pleasure in adverting to those with which Colonel CIIAL LONER'S speech abounded. It contained so much good sense, and showed so much liberality, that no apology is re quired for giving the following extract from it :—" He had told them on former occasions that they must not rely upon what they termed protection—they must rely upon them selves, and they might rely upon it that the time would come when they would have none, and would be compelled to depend upon their own exertions. It might be next year —it might be ten years; but they might depend the time would come ; and he called upon them, therefore, to be upon their guard, and not be taken by surprise, if they were told some morning that next year there would be no corn-laws. He had no fear that even then they would be able to cultivate their land profitably, if they exerted them selves. He had been recently in Scotland, and he saw land which formerly only produced five sacks of corn an acre, from which five quarters were now thrashed. Supposing, therefore, that the former quantity fetched 605., the farmer would be better off, with the increased quantity, if it only fetched 40s. He therefore declared that he had no fear that if they were deprived of the benefit of those enactments which they considered a protection, that they should still be able to cultivate the land with sufficient profit to themselves, give good wages to their labourers, and a remunerating rent to the landlord." This speech would have done honour to Mr. COBDEN ; but what adds to its importance is this—it was listened to with great attention. No serious objection was made to it—at least as far as regarded the present mode of levying the duty by the operations of the ruinous sliding-scale, Mr. BRISCOE simply remarking, that landlords as well as cotton-lords were manufacturers, and if one class was protected, all should be protected. However he was prepared for such a result as that anticipated, and when protection was withdrawn, he " would be happy to give his tenants leases by which the rent should depend on the prices." The sliding scale at all events is completely given up, and we may, therefore, reckon to a certainty that this anomaly in our system of legislation will speedily be erased from the statute-book. The landowners find that so far from being benefitted by this invention of the Tories, they have suffered by it to an enormous extent. It has served only schemers —persons who have purchased foreign grain and placed it in bond till they could take advantage of the market, and pour it in, when the fanner owing to the pressure of circumstances had been compelled to dispose of his whole year's produce. High prices then benefit rot him nor his landlord, the rent cannot be paid and this wicked eeheme for keeping up prices and starving the poor, recoils with righteous vengeance on the heads of its eoncoctors. We know not what the few months that intervene between this and the meeting of Par liament may bring forth, but, judging from appearances, we may anticipate a great rise of price in the necessaries of life. The potato crop has failed both here and on the continent. The quality of the grain is inferior to that of the average, thong!' the quantity is said to be large. In some of, the smaller continental states the exportation of agricultural produce is prohibited, and in case of scarcity England must therefore trust to the districts around the Black Sea, and the United States of America The distance of course raises the price of the article; besides, our system of corn-laws has checked the cultivation of grain in those regions, and unless we are saved by an order in Council for admitting grain free, the country may be afflicted by both famine and pestilence. We know, however what a firm and resolute Ministt r would do under similar cir cumstances, for Mr. CANNING set the example; but even such an order may not 'avert the danger. Our blessed corn laws have checked the supplies ; the duty at the present moment is the least evil, for while there might have been bread enough and to spare, we are not certain that a supply can be had sufficient to relieve the wants of the population. This only shows, however, that the time is come for settling this long-agitated question, and we confidently trust that another session will not he allowed to pass without the adoption of measures which shall protect us against such a frightful calamity. Every Englishman who has studied, however cursorily the constitutional history of his country, must feel so strongly that the first principle of its permanency—the breath and being of its existence—is the independence of the judges of the land of the Crown, that he may well be excused if he apply the presence or the absence of this principle as an universal test of the vitality or the unsoundness of every other consti tution. The tenure of the judgment-seat "durante bend placito," at the pleasure of any authority, sets that authority, by necessary inference, above the law. The notion of that indifferent, unbiassed justice, which is the bond and the security for all personal and all public rights in any social system, and anything short of which is but a mockery of law, and the scourge, instead of the protection of a people; such a nction, coupled with the existence of a superior power that can control dr! x:tiort of such "justice," is a s9lecisin. The liability to an influeoce which can, at any \ time, extinguish its operation is fatal to the primary object and condition o f i ts creation. What fate or destiny is to some of the r e li g i ous systems of mankind, justice embodied in law represent s in any scheme of goer nt as not despotic.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. C/7' Y, Q UARTER Tu TUBER. The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500 to 3,000 bales, with a quiet dull market. Shares were very dull again, and prices were lower. It does not appear by the letters received from the Provin cial Share Markets which reached us to-day, that the Bank notice raising the rate of discount has had anything like the injurious effect that had been anticipated would have been produced. -- The demand for all sorts of shares and scrip was very dull, but still it is not stated that anything like a panic was considered at all likely. It is scarcely possible, however, that prices can rally to any extent while the London market is so heavy as it is now. There are no late Colonial arrivals. The usual return of the Bank of England for the week ending on the 18th inst. shows, on a comparison of • its items, with those of its predecessor, the following results : In the notes issued there is a decrease of 286,8501. or to 28,066,8201. The Banking Department has of this 7,037,6001 The Rest is now given at 3,140,0061., a decrease of 489,972/. The Public Deposits are higher by 79,478/., or at 8,782,9751. They will be much less in the next return. Li the other deposits there is an increase to 8,474,8561. The Seven Day Bills have been diminished from 1,081,206/. to 1,088,1601.

The speculators are very inactive, and there is but a trifle doing in the Consols. The sales for Money have been made at from 97% to 97 1 4, and fur the Account from 97% to 97%. This is, however, a very unfavourable day to test the quality of the Stock or Share markets. Exchequer-bills have fallen back to 44'. premium, and the Three per Cents Reduced from 97 3 / to 97 1 4 ; India Stock has advanced to 266. Where transactions have been made in the Foreign Funds to-day , they have been at rather lower prices. The Dutch Four per Cents. have gone back to 93%; the Belgian Four and-Half per Cents. to 99%; and the Portuguese Four per Cents. to 59, a fall of 1 per cent, in the last-mentioned, and in consequence of financial affairs at Lisbon having become again, according to the accounts received this morning, in an unsatisfactory state.

Whipple, Esq., surgeon, of No. 14, Devonshire-terrace, Plymouth, committed suicide by hanging himself. The deceased, who is aged about 17, has been in the employ of Mr. Whipple about two months, was generally of a very cheerful disposition, and was greatly in favour with his master. On Sunday he went into the country, for the purpose, as he said, of visiting his father. when he had an interview with a girl named Sarah Kellan, whom he was ardently attached to, and with whom he had passed most of his boyish days. He returned in the evening, but a particular alteration was observed in his con duct. He would frequently mention the young girl's name, and on one occasion expressed to the cook, who was also called Sarah, his fondness for that name. On Tuesday evening he was missing for some hours, the time having passed over when he usually fed his master's horses, a man named Taylor was sent for to do that work. In getting some hay, Taylor had to pass the room in which the deceased slept, and he endeavoured to open the door. It, however, appeared to be fastened, and on his forcing it open he saw the deceased hanging from one of the beams. He immediately cut him down, and called for assistance, but the pour fellow was perfectly lifeless, and had apparehtly been dead some hours. On his bed was found a letter marked on the top with an A, and written on several pieces of paper folded in the form of a book; it was written very imperfectly, and contained no date; it was as follows :—" Dear Sarah—These few short lines coms to with my kind Love to you and I hope you will never marry no other. So farewell to you and all brothers and sisters all I have I give to Sarah Kellan and Mr. Shepeard, Boughton, Ermington, Devon (in the name of the Lord so do). Its nothing but my Sarah's crossness that had mad me do this thing . but I hope that the Lord will forgive at the rising of the dead so wicked world forgive me.—Yours, J. M. LANG." A Church of England prayer book, with a leaf turned down at the 62d Psalm, was also found in the room. An inquest was held on the body yesterday, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."—Plymouth Journal. DEATH OF THE REV. DR. PEDDIE.-It is with sentiments of deep respectful regret that we announce the decease of one of the oldest and most esteemed of our citizens, the Rev. James Peddle, D.D , senior minister of the United Associate Con gregation, Bristo-street, in the 67th year of his age and 63d of his ministry. For the two last years, Dr. P. has been laid aside from public duty by infirmity, but for 61 years he regularly ministered with unabated acceptance to one of the largest congregations in this city. He took an active part in conducting the affairs of the large religious denomination of which he was so distinguished a member, and was a most efficient supporter of all our great religious and benevolent institutions. The original powers of his mind were of a superior order, characterised by soundness, comprehensiveness, and energy; his attainment s as a scholar and theologian were extensive and accurate; his character as a Christian was exemplary in all the relations of life; and his conduct as a pastor so faithful and wise as to secure for him in an uncommon degree and to the end the reverence and affection of his numerous flock. He was by much the oldest of our city ministers, and with tile exception of two clergymen of the Episcopal persuasion, was, we believe, the oldest minister in Scotland of any denomination. Few men have ever sustained for so long a time so high a reputation for worth and wisdom, and carried Its honours so untarnished to the grave. Dr. Peddie's death took place on Saturday, at half-past eleven in the forenoon, at Laverock Bank lleuse, Trinity, where for some time he lad been residing for the benefit of his health. His funeral, we understand, is to take place on Friday, irn the Edinburgh cemetery at Warriston.-.Scotsman, The Government has at length commenced the im provement of the harbour of Harwich, for which desirable object a Parliamentary grant was made last, session. This has been promptly followed up by the formation of a Dock and Railway Company, which we observe has for its object the making of suitable docks at Harwich, so as to adapt that port for the traffic which the ex tension of the proposed line of railway Into the centre of England, and its connexion with the great trtipk lines will necessarily demand. We understand the plans for the docks are those of Mr. Walker, the engineer, whose eminent name is a sure guarantee that the works will be of such a character as will ere long render Harwich from its favourable situation an important station for the mail packets, as well as a depot for our owu manufactures as also for the imports of northern and central Europe. We cannot but congratulate the in habitants of Harwich upon the prospects before them, nor can we pass over the advantage which must accrue to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, when they shall find what will be, in effect, one of their termini converted from a small flailing town with a ne glected harbour, into a Government port, with Government and trading vessels, and docks to contain them.—Railteny Times.

Miss Mary Ann Glover, described in the schedule as other wise Mary Roberts (the daughter of the celebrated actress), came up on her petition for an interim order. Her debts were about 570/. There was no opposition, aNd the interim order was granted without the insolvent being examined. OBBARD AND OTHERS V. RUDD. This defendant who had carried on business as a plumber and glazier, at Beckenham•place, Denmark-hill, attended on a summons obtained at the suit of the plaintiff's, who are glass merchants, to show cause why he had not paid the sum of 10/. due from him. _ _ . . ....... The plaintiff's solicitor said that he had no doubt the Learned Commissioner would consider this a case in which the power of commitment should be exercised. The facts were, that the defendant had attended before a Judge at Chambers, and admitted the justice of the plaintiffs' demand, but shortly afterwards he assigned over the whole of his pro perty to his son. The Learned COMMISSIONER said if that was proved, it was unquestionably a gross fraud. The defendant having been sworn, admitted that he had made the assignment for money previously advanced by his son. The property was worth 70!. or 801. The Learned CO3IMISSIONER said that it was a very flagrant case that a man having property to such an amount should make away with it after he had admitted there was a justl claim against him. He would therefore be committed for forty days to the county prison. The defendant entreated to be allowed to make terms with the plaintiffs. The plaintiff's solicitor said they were not disposed to in terfere with the course of the law. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the insolvent had acted with great dishonesty, and he ought to be made an ex ample of. The defendant was immediately taken into custody by one of the messengers.

SlR,—The;attention of the Committee of Management of this Company having been directed to a paragraph in the Times of the IGth instant, respecting the insertion of the name of Lord Charles Wellesley, I am instructed by them to state their deep regret that the mistake has occurred by the unintentional wrong designation of a member of the same family, the Hon. Lord Viscount Wellesley. The error will be rectified in all future advertisements and prospectuses ; orders to withdraw those already in circulation having been immediately given.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. T. MILLER, Solicitor to the Company. Dated London, 18th October, 1845. P.S.

T. M. ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM ACORRRSPONDENT. ) MEDINA IiIVER IMPROVEMENT COMPANY. The promoters of this measure subscribed about 1,4001. to forward it, the whole of which was swallowed up in surveys and in introducing the Bill into Parliament. The opposition to it was found to be so great that there was no chance of carrying it, and it was withdrawn at the second reading, and the subject was now almost forgotten, when the different subscribers received a printed notice from the solicitors to the Company, informing them for the first time that their Bill amounted to 901./. 35., and they required an immediate settlement, and appointing a meeting at the Town-hall, Newport, to arrange it. This has caused no little sensation amongst the unfortunate shareholders. WOOD GOODS.—The Commissioners of the Customs having had under their consideration a memorial from an eminent firm, importers of wood goods, requesting that all deals exceeding 21 feet in length may be in future delivered upon an average quantity of the whole contents of each pile, without reference to numbers, instead of being required to enter the exact quantity and endorse the particular numbers of the deals upon the locker's order, by which practice great delay and additional expense are occasioned, and the Board being of 'opinion that there is no objection to the delivery of deals exceeding 21ft. in length, in the same way as fir tim ber, upon an entry being passed for a given quantity, speci fying the number in loads, the locker on the part of the revenue taking care to deliver to the extent of that quantity only, observing to endorse the number and contents of each deal on the back of the order, and to carry forward any small surplus in the delivery (not exceeding the contents of one deal) to the subsequent order, until the whole parcel be de livered; and the Commissioners having further had under their notice a report from their principal officers as to the directions which it may be necessary to issue with a view to give effect to the Treasury Order recently issued, approving of the fractional parts of a foot, less than 3 inches, being rejected in future in measuring deals in bulk ; and their surveyors general having submitted that their officers may be informed, that in the measurement of deals, battens, &c., in bulk, in future, the fractional parts of a foot, less than 3 inches, in taking the lengths of the piles, are to be rejected, in conformity with the existing practice observed with respect to deals, &c, exceeding 21 feet, when measured singly; and further, that where the pile consists of four great hundred deals or planks, or of six great hundred boards or battens, and upwards, the fractional parts of a fo o t, l ess than 3 inches; are also to be rejected in taking the width and height—it has been resolved by the Board that these several propositions and recommendations are approved, and directions have been issued to the revenue officers of the several departments in London and at the various outports of the United Kingdom, to govern themselves accordingly with respect to all future importations of these descriptions of wood goods. Died, at Windsor, in Australia, on the 16th 'May last, in the 39th year of his age, Horatio Nelson Carrington, Esq., solicitor, fourth son of Captain Carrington, late barrack master at Weymouth and Dorchester. CRYPT OF EXETER CATHEDRAL. It is asserted that the crypt of Exeter Cathedral is used as the bishop's wine cellar! We shall be glad to hear that the statement is untrue. —The Builder. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 17.—The sup. ply of wheat is large, and only limited of other grain. We had not much business done in wheat to-day, but holders were very Sim, and prices of old wheat were rather higher. In new wheat no alterat on from last week ; damp parcels were difficult to quit. New barley sold freely at late rates; grinding Is. per qr. dearer. Beans were held for more money. Oats and shelling each valu kble at a slight advance. Fine malt is extremely scarce, and Is. per load higher. Tre Directors of the London and Brighton Railway Company have made a proposition to the Postmaster- General to convey mailbags to and from London and Brighton by every train, without any additional expense. It is hoped that Government will avail itself of this very liberal offer; in which case, this town will be placed on the same footing as the metropolis with its two.penny post delivery.—Brighten Herald. TEE LAST DAY.—Friday, October the 10th, was the day fixed on by Prophet Dealtry and his companions for the consummation of all things. The sun has passed the meridian, and the day already begins to decline. We have no token what. ever that these presumptuous men had any foundation for their fa natical ravings. One of them at least appeared to be honest; but we have some difficulty in absolutely believing that, because the same parties have fixed on three successive years, and after quitting one scene of delusion, have broke ground in a new place with a new period. Our Ashburton correspondent reports that they passed through Ashburton last evening, three men anal one woman, bound to the north of England, where very likely we shall hear of them before long, They seem to b 3 too anxious to escape from the scene of their western mission.—Western Times. FOREIGN CATTLE.—Another prime lot of Spanish bullocks-28 in number, consigned to Messrs. a. Treeby and Co.— arrived here on Friday last, from Corunna, and were landed at the Commercial Wharf, ex the schooner Isabella. They were sold at auction on the following Tuesday.—Plymouth Journal. Don Carlos and the Princess of Beira left Nice on the 6th for Genoa, where they will decide upon their place of residence. The postal reform, recently made in Austria, is about to be extended on a much larger scale. A double tariff, one of twelve kreutzers for the greatest distance, and the other of six kreutzers for the shorter lines, was the basis of- the first reform. It is now said that the one is to be reduced to eight, and the other to three kreutzers. If this be done, ti:e rate of p, staff eof letters will be less in Austria than in any other part of the continent.

ADDRESS TO THE 1300 (Fron ' Poem by Herwegh.) Yes, I must give thee one curse more ; A curse upon thee, Peter's son, Curse on thy clergy o'er and o'er, A curse on thy polluted throne. 'Twas only venom, Pope, and gall, Which, from the pole to the equator, Thou scatter'dst o'er the nations all, With hyssop-dropping sceptre, traitor. Canaan of Europe, wo to thee, Who once the world a Brutus show'd, And now thy slavish coward knee, Before a 'Vatican has bow'd. Thou bast impal'd the flesh of man, Once birth-place of Rienzi Cola, Since Luther felt the Papal ban, And none seem'd loyal but Loyola. The soil that once pure honey gave Only with tears of sorrow flows, Since Henry in his shire—the slave — Stood in the Papal yard and froze. Then charnel-like its incense burn'd, The Eden chang'd to a Zahara ; And to Italia's shroud was turn'd The many-colour'd, bright tiara. But, haughty Rome, repress thy pride; A limit to thy course is set. A stream thou art—exhausted—dried ,-- An infant's lip thou can'st not wet. Thou art a deeply fallen land, Fraud—fraudNought but alonea ne is wly-tfhayshriiognhetd ilanabde. ; Babel. Thy only sword is lie and fable. Though many slaves thou may'st enlist , h Throughout the world, thou still must I'v e ' The Holy Spirit can exist Without a priestly prince's aid. Thou despot in the hellish pool, I have one greeting more—receive it— In Peter's chair thou holdest rule, Peter was like thee—l believe it — Who, when his Lord was judg'd by men , Could feel no honest anger glow, And when he was condemn'd—ay, then-- _ Exclaim'd, " The man I do not. know ;"*"*" Who, when the globe with anguish shook, And fel' its very core was shatteed , Before the fire his station took, And with the judge's damsels chatteed. In weakness oily art thou like— A rock, like him, thou can'st not stand The breeze of morn thy realm will strike , And scatter it about like sand. The thinkers will at last awake, Pastor of lies, thy power to humble ; The age's wrath will o'er thee brrak--• • The last of its tormentors crumble. 001 * The well-known penance of the Emperor yis e a FALKIRK THIRD 1 1 1 ' 2 - S ote°/-0 The third and last of these great cattle trYst;l'ecoacli(l ;old on Monday.
