The railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles) by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knaresborough, Harrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places. The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of 3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous divisions of the kingdom. The roads between York and Lancaster are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and tke journey, now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed, on the railway, in two hours and a half. It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing, mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Mn, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to Harnburgh, by connecting Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the east coast ; to the lakes of Westmoreland and Cumberland ; to Harrogate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur, mineral, and chalybeate springs ; and to the important intermediate districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron, slate, limestone, free stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing, from the great cost of coals awl carriage. The railway will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, by introducing coals at allow price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect thia,P - aata intectors Ca these ra il ways, and of various others which have ' a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene ficially. and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con sider it will materially augment the value of their possessions and prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders. It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.

Tur ner, Esq. ; Woodstock, Benjamin Holloway, Esq. Originating at Bicester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam bridge line through Wolverton, in connexion with the Eastern Comi ties, the South and 311illands Junction will afford facility of inter coarse with the metrop.•lis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pot teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other; near Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pass, Hie Oxford and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting opportunities of entering the two great railway arteries of the king dom —the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for mer at Dudcot, the latter at Rugby. Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di rectly S.W., leaving Hampton to the east, until it reaches Lechiade, a town seated at the of ux of the Thames and Severn navigation with the River Thames, and where a considerable entrepot for mer chandise is established. Keeping within easy distances at Farringdon, Cricklade, and High worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester and Cheltenham line falls into the Great 'Western. The intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi cation with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten ham, Stroud, westward; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales. The agricultural district, of which Devizes and Marlborough may be considered the centre, and Swindon, Hungerford, Andover, Salis bury, Wilton, Aylesbury, Warminster, Westbury, Melksham, Chip penham, Wootton Basset, so many points in the circumference, is still wholly unsupplied with railway accommodation, a loss more severely felt here than elsewhere, because the whole passenger traffic between London, Bath, and Bristol was formerly shared in by this vicinity. It is one of the chief objects of this project to restore Salisbury, Marlborough, and Devizes to that participation In internal commerce and carriage of which they have been deprived by the opening of the Great Western Railway ; and with this view the line proceeding from Swindon will pass to the westward of Marlborough and east ward of Devizes, to both which places branches will be constructed ; and thence in a direct line to Salisbury. Here, again, the advantages of lateral as well as direct communica tion with all parts of the kingdom are concentrated. The Yeovil Railway leads direct to Exeter, a line is projected to unite with the South Western at Basingstoke, and provision will be taken in the Bill for continuing the project to Southampton and Poole. This line of railway is recommended by considerable advantages : the great number of towns through or near which it will pass —the fertility of some districts—the manufacturing character of others, and theconcentrated traffic of the different localities which it traverses. It will complete direct communication between the principal places in Lincoln and Norfolk—the ports and chief towns in the western and southern counties; it will accomplish an important desideratum in our inland intercoures, namely a direct connexion between Liverpool and the north of England generally with the port of Southampton, from which the East India steamers sail : it will afford equally easy access to Falmouth, the foreign and West India packet station ; to the refuge harbour of Poole, and to Weymouth, the most secure road stead on the southern coast. A preliminary survey of the whole line has been made, and the engineer's report is highly favourable to the execution of the project. It is expected that the works may be completed without cuttings of costly depths, or tunnels of unpleasant or dangerous lengths ; no pro spect of sincere competition presents itself in any quarter, and a large and influential proportion of the local interests have already approved of the undertaking. The traffic has not yet been calculated ; but when the transport of coal and iron downwards, and of agricultural produce in return are considered, any present estimate must fall far `'sr . t of the revenue that may naturally be expected to arise. There Is one feature peculiar to this project, which, as It has ma- tonally influenced the judgment of the promoters, should be placed distinctly before the public—lt is, that by this line alone the narrow gauge lines of the north are immediately united with those of the south, crossing the broad gauge at Swindon, without Impediment or inconvenience. By means of this railway, therefore, a direct and uninterrupted mode of transit and of transport is at once opened, not only with the populous towns and ancient cities of the north and west, where the narrrow gauge universally prevails, but with those also in the southern counties, which lie beyond the region of the Great Western Railway.

The Five per Cents. closed at 221 at 60 days. We havo received the Paris papers of Friday. General LAMORICIERE has been appointed, by royal ordonnance, Governor of Algeria during the absence of Marshal IitICEAUD. On his appointment the • Siecle observes as follows : " It is already known that Marshal Bugeaud, who i 3 on the point of returning to France, on a leave of absence which some persons affirm to be unlimited, had designated Lieut.-General de Lamoriciere to fill the post of Governor-General during his absence. M. de Lamoriciere refuses to perform these functions upon the delegation of Marshal Bugeaud, and demanded that the interim should be confided to him by the French Govern ment. We now learn that the King has just signed an onion nonce in the sense desired by M. de Lamoriciere. This deci sion is of the greater importance, as MM. Bugeaud and La moriciere are not in accord as to the mode of colonisation of our African possessions. M. Bugeaud desires colonisation by the army. M. de Lamoriciere, on the contrary, i s f avoura bl e to extensive grants and civil colonisation." M. THIERS has left Paris for Spain. He proposes to be absent about a month. Intelligence has reached France, by way of Odessa, from the seat of war in the Caucasus. Count WonoN ZOFF'S victories over SCHAMIL have not been so brilliant as he would fain have us believe. True, he has taken _ . . • • . • • • • Moscow. He suffered immense loss in th e attac k on Dargo, and before abandoning the place Scram!, set it on fire, so that the Russian army was without provisions and without shelter in the midst of this ruined village. The conclusion we give in the words of the correspondent of the Journal des Debats :- " In that very same village, at the moment Woronzoff was making his soldiers sing a Te Deum in honour of the Empress's fete, he was simultaneously attacked on all sides by the moun taineers, who were believed to be dispersed afar. The object of their offensive return was to occupy his attention, whilst his convoy of supplies was at the same time attacked. The army, which was in want of provisions, expected them from the line of the Terek, and the general had sent a division to protect the arrival of the convoy, which was, besides, escorted by a strong column. All those troops, and the convoy they were bringing, were assailed with furious intrepidity by Schamil's warriors. The Russians had to stand several hours of a desperate struggle, which cost them great loss, It was there that two generals were killed. The Caucasians took possession of nine hundred mules carrying provisions, and would perhaps have captured the whole convoy, had not cart ridges been wanting. They then rushed on the Russians, daggers in hand, breaking through their ranks to fight corps-ti carps. They attacked with preference the officers, although Count Woronzoff had ordered the insignia of rank to be re moved or concealed in order to deceive the enemy, whose fanatic courage aims at the chiefs. At length, Count Worms zoff having received the wrecks of the convoy, but unable to attempt anything more with the troops, decimated, h arasse d ; and in want of p rov i s i ons , was compelled to interrupt his opera tions, after a campaign of twenty days, without any other result than the destruction of the Dargo huts, which Schema himself had set fire to before the arrival of the Russians. It is believed that the General-in-Chief might have been exposed to a great disaster, had not General Freitag hastened to his assistance, when he was blockaded by the mountaineers, without food for his troops. It has already been seen that the mountaineers had raised fresh intrenchments in order to cut off his retreat, and that the army was freed from anxiety only after its junction with the succouring corps. It was then enabled to go and supply itself on the line of advanced forts. Prince Alexander, of Hesse, who served in the army of the Caucasus, has relinquished the op erat i ons .

The Proprietors of this Company were advertised to have met this day, but, as there were not so many pre sent as the Act of Parliament required, the meeting at once adjourned. ' BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A general Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held to-day at ono o'clock, at the London-bridge station. Mr. Hotbam, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, presided on the occasion. The SECRETARY, having read the advertisement con vening the meeting, and the seal of the Company being affixed to the register of Proprietors in the usual way, the report, of which the following is an abstract, was read : It set forth that the Worthing branch would be com pleted by the Ist of October ensuing, and the line com pleted to Chichester by about February, 1846. The Directors expected also to carry out, ere long, the ex tension of the line to Portsmouth. It was considered the arrangement come to at the meeting of the sth of August, to transfer the line to the London and Brighton Company, would be completed by the 12th of September at the outside, when the purchase-money would be ready. The CHAIRMAN said, after the report which had been submitted it would not be necessary to make many observations, He might inform them that at the pre sent time there was only 1501. due upon calls. On the 30th of June there was an unpaid balance on calls of 7,320/. ; but since then it had been re duced to the small sum he had stated. The arrange ment come to with the Brighton Company, he had little doubt, would prove satisfactory to the Proprietors. He was glad to say that the terms named for the trans fer of the line at the previous meeting had been met by the Brighton Company in the most satisfactory manner, and he had no doubt they would be able to complete the purchase by the 12th September. He could not name the exact day then, but considered it would be on the day ho had named. Circulars however, would be issued apprising the proprietors of the fact. The Honourable Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report, which being seconded, was put and agreed to. After a vote of thanks to the Chairns,-...mi iloara of inteetors, cite meeting adjourned. SOUTH WARK ELECTION. (From the Birmingham Pilot of this day.) [We know not upon what ground the Pilot makes the fol lowing announcement, but as the Pilot is a recognised organ of the Complete Suffrage and Anti-State Church party, we consider it as made not without authority.—En. Sun.] " WITHDRAWAL OF THE LIBERAL CANDIDATES IN FA VOUR or MR. D. W. HARVEY.—We are gratified to lezrn that Sir Wm. Molesworth and Mr. Edward Illiall are both to withdraw from the contest for the representation of the borough of Southwark, on the assumption that Mr. D. W. Harvey, who has consented to stand, unites in himself the great principles of civil and religious freedom, around which the real Liberal and independent feeling of the borough will rally. Mr. Harvey, in thus coming forward, gives a first place to the question of the Suffrage ; and thus realises the anticipations we indulged in last week, when we said, 'lf the electors of the borough of Southwark are true to themselves, and have the interests of the constituency sincerely at heart, they will make the question of the Suffrage the single ground on which the contest for the representation will succeed. On this ground only can a tr; umphant victory be gained —or a defeat profitably sustained.' MA p- .TRIMONY ROMOTED IN A CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday, at the inquest held before William Carter, Esq. at the Horse and Groom Tavern, Westminster-bridge-road, the following unusual and singular case came before the jury. The inquiry was respecting the death of a child who had died very suddenly, and when the mother of the de ceased was asked if she was married she said she was, but when cautioned by the Coroner she admitted that such was not the fact, hut that she had been living with a man named John Cantrill, by whom she had had three children. They had been living together as man and wife for four years, and were very fond of each other, but through adverse circum stances and sickness they had not been able to spare the money to get married. The father of the child, who ap peared to be a hard -working-fellow, said, in answer to the coroner, that he had been keeping his father for a long time, who had been on a bed of sickness for several months in conse quence of a severe accident, and when his father died he had to pay for his funeral expenses. He added that he intended to get married as soon as he could get the money. The fore man (Mr. Lincoln) said it was truly distressing for them to live in such a state, and suggested the necessity of raising a sub scription for the purpose of getting them married. The rest of the jury immediately agreed, and each subscribed towards the expenses, and the Coroner gave orders to Mr. Anderson, the summoning -officer, to see the money properly expended for their wedding at the church of St, John's, Waterloo-road, which will take place on Sunday next. The jury made ar rangements for a wedding dinner, which will be paid for out of the money collected in the inquest-room. The parties left the Court truly thankful for the kind interference of the Coroner and jury. I'IIE ALLEGED MURDER AT ROTIIERHITHE.--- Yesterday, the inquest respecting the death of Ellen Tyrrell was resumed before William Carter, Esq., at the New Cross Inn, Deptford, when the following additional evidence was adduced :—William Birchell, pipe -maker, 14, Elephant lane, Retherhite, deposed that Jerry Styles and himself occupy the premises between them. There is a back yard and privy inclosed by a high fence. Except a person scaled the fence they must pass through the house of Jerry Styles, or that of witness. Witness was at home on the night in question (Wednesday, the 13th). There was no noise in the house that night ; he must have heard any person getting over the fence. Did not hear a footstep in the house or yard after nightfall that night. John White, the man sus pected of the murder, stated on being cautioned by the Coroner, that he had nothing to say but that he had been drinking with the deceased; they had drank between them, seven in number, three pints of gin after crossing the river ; they (four persons) drank at the Royal Oak half a pint of gin, and then he left the deceased at the Royal Oak door, and she went away. He then went to Styles, in Elephant-lane, and heard Styles and his lodgers scolding at a terrible rate; he changed his mind and did not go in, but went into the back yard to the watercloset, where he remained some time. Hav ing been drinking that day and working hard the day before, heaving 60 tons of ballast, he fell asleep ; on awaking he rose up and went out; saw nobody; turned into the next court, called Clarke's Orchard, and entered Mrs. Griffiths's house. As soon as she saw him she fell a crying. He stayed there two hours and a half. He sent out for sixpennyworth of gin ; sent the girl out again for another sixpennyworth—he r mother refused to let her. He then went himself to the Europa and the Royal Oak, but both those houses were closed for the night. He rang, and they let him in at the Europa, and served him with the gin, and he went away. Mrs. Griffiths offered him a bed, but he declined, saying he had to get up and go to work at six o'clock the next day. He reached home between two and three o'clock next morning ; that was all he had to say. The police said every exertion had been made to find the man who had picked up a bonnet under the arches of the Greenwich railway, supposed to belong to the deceased, but without success. The jury retired, and after an absence of nearly two hours, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." SINGULAR FATAL COMBAT.—A combat unprece dented in the annals of duelling or boxing took place on Satur day last, in the village of Ashprington. Two pigs, one belong.. ing to the Rev. J. Ley, and the other to J. Camp, happened to meet, and, either from some old grudge, or the impulse of the moment, furiously attacked each other. They fought bravely for upwards of an hour, when the clergyman's pig fell pros trate on the ground—quite dead Plymouth Journal. THE STOPPAGE OF FLEET STREET. Yesterday morning a notice was posted at the Sewers office, Guildhall, intimating that Fleet-street roadway will be closed for one week longer, commencing on .111 , inday, to complete the sewer now in formation in that thoroughfare. At a meeting of coal -masters at Stourbridge, last Friday, it was agreed to give the men their wages without a reduction, and the " strike" is, consequently, at an end. The attempt at a reduction was not likely to be successful, and it was slot unanimously made, and cannot but be pronounces! in judicious and likely to d o h arm , i n m a ki ng t h e men more independent and refractory.—Birmingham Advertiser. A mustachioed vagabond, named Arthur Cowling, was sentenced by Mr. Painter, the Hammersmith magistrate, to two months' hard labour, for assaulting a little girl, and en deavouring to intimidate her into giving him money.

BARTHOLOMEW AND BARNET FAIRS.—On Friday the Lord Mayor ordered the issue of printed proclamations in the usual form for the establishment and regulation of Bartho• lomew Fair, including that for the prohibition of gambling, the appointment of the Court of Pied Po7dre,the arrangement of tie stalls , &c. The latter, it is understood, will be even less numerous than those of last year, so that it. is anticipated that this ancient fair, by so many deemed a nuisance, wilt ere long die a natural death.. Barnet fair, on the contrary, will this yes! be extended, and will also have a larger supply of horses and cattle than on any preceding year. THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The bells which have been in the New Royal Exchange since a short time of Its opening, will be removed in a few days, a new set of fifteen having been prepared and completed by Messrs. C. and G. Mears, the bell-founders in Whitechapel. The weight of the set is about 257 cwt. (the former being about 131 cwt). The key note of the largest is C natural. This, which weighs 54 cwt., will be the hour bell. The weight has been increased by order of the Gresham Committee, the former set being found to have a tone not sufficiently powerful for the noisy neigh bourhood of the national exchange. The chimes are expected to be in action in the course of next month. STEAM TO LEGHORN.—The North Star steam ship arrived at the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, a f e w days since with a cargo and passengers from the port of Leghorn. This was understood t o b e an experimental trip, being the first voyage'ever made by a steam -vessel to or from that place and the port of London. It is well known that there is numerous fleet of vessels trading between this port and the port under notice, which bring extensive cargoes of every description of Italian produce, articles of vertu, &c. ; and further that the place is the principal shipping port for the conveyance to this country of the baggage and private effects, collections of continental pain , logs, statues, &e., of noble men and gentlemen returning home at the termination of their continental tours, as well as of British artists and others who have been pursuing their studies in the Italian and other continental States—in fact, that it is the direct route for London, vi Civita Vecchia, from the eternal city itself, and from which everything is removed on its way to this country. The introduction of steam will, therefore, doubtless, be an important consideration for those who may be anxious for a speedy transmission of their property to its destination. The traffic fur passen gers f rom L eg h orn is at present very tr ifling, hut it is difficult to say to how great an extent it may be in creased, if a continuous and regular line of steam-vessels he established, which, it is said, is not at all improbable. should the specul a ti on prove a successful one. Italy is almost the only European state whose ports do not possess the adv antages afforded by th e i nvent i on of steam in its intercourse with this country, and the importance of its adoption to a large and re spectable portion of the public as a means of transit, instead of the fatigue of journeying over land, cannot fur a moment be doubted. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) IN ILE MISSINER..—NOVEL POINTS. An application was male to admit a proof against this estate for a debt and costs, under the following circumstances : —After the action had proceeded nearly to trial the defendant took out a summons to stay proceedings, on payment of debt and costs, and a j ,, dge's order to that effect was mnde on the sth of April last. The defendant became bankrupt on the 15th of that month, and the costs were taxed on the 6th of May. Although there was no case in point, it was Aubmitted that the claimant was entitled to prove for the costs. The Learned Commissiolrett, having referred to eases, said that he did not consider this within the statute. The only case in which costs taxed after bankruptcy could be proved for was, where they were taxed under a judgment, decree, or order. lie did not consider that a judge's order like the present was an order contemplated by the statute, nor was it in the nature of judgment ; it was merely an order to enter up judgment con ditionally, if the debt and costs were not paid. The proof could only be admitted as repected the debt. 2 3 1 3 41 BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William Joyce and George Reegan, two little rascals both about nine years of age, were placed at the bar before Mr. Twvford charged with attempting to steal two pieces of timber, about their own size, that is to say three feet and a half long. from Thomas William Reed, a cabinent maker engaged upon the wood work of the new buildings at the corner of Blooms bury-street and Broad-street, Holborn. The prosecutor said that this morning shortly before ten o'clock he was in the temporary counting-house, erected in the building ground at 13loom,bury-street, when he saw the pri soners carrying the two pieces of wood towards the fence. He immediately ran arter them, but before he could overtake them they had thrown the logs over the fence ; two bigger boys were wa ting on the other side to receive the booty, but as soon as they saw him they ran away, leaving the younger as sistants in the lurch. Mr. TWYFORD told the prisoners he wanted to have the power of whipping them, but he could not have that pleasure under existing circumstances. He was unwilling to send such young children to gaol, but would give the prisoners a short imprisonment by detaining them till five o'clock, assuring them, however, that they would not be let off so easily another time. The priscners, who seemed horrified at the mere idea of their punishment, were then taken back to the station, there to be confined until the rising of the Court. FoßGEay.—Howard Augustine Style, who stood corn -3 2 mitted upon two ch arg e s of f orger y, was b roug h t up again tine 2 3 day upon a third char g e. It appeared that the prisoner, accompanied by a respectable man named Diamond, called on Mr. Tomlinson, a pawnbro ker, in George-street, Bryanston-s quare , an d requeste d him to discount a bill of exchange for 381. 13s. 6d., purporting to be the acceptance of Mr. Withers, the confectioner. It may that one of the previous charge% against the prisoner was for forging the name of Mr. Gunter, of Berkeley square, confectioner. Mr. Tomlinson knowing Mr. Diamond, bad 1 no hesitation in discounting the bill, and it appears that after 2 he discovered it was a forgery, h e was not d es i rous o f prose -3 cuting, but was bro ug ht f orwar d b y t h e po li ce. The prisone r was formerly a chemist in Regent-street, and bore a good cha racter. In this case he had actually commenced repaying by instalments the money of which he defrauded Mr. Tomlinson , and a letter was found upon him when he was arrested, *Will amongst other things, that he had hoped to taken up the bill before it was due.—He was fully committed for trial.

LOVE AND MESMERISM.—BY HORACE SMITII, ESQ.—The Author of " Brambletye House," has once more come before the public he has so often entertained, and we are bound to say, with a work as full of attrac tion as anything of the kind that has proceeded from him. Under the title of " Love and Mesmerism," he has produced a very extraordinary story. The time may be said to be within the experience of many of his readers—the scenes abound with romantic interest, though the locality changes from the picturesque palaces of Venice to the comfortable drawing-rooms of London —and the characters comprise those vivid portrai tures from actual life for which the author has obtained so high a reputation. Certain circumstances alluded to, towards the conclusion of the work, that have marked the career of a public character with considerable notoriety, have aided greatly, we are told, in exciting public curiosity towards " Love and Mesmerism," which will doubtless be as popular as any of its pre decessors. RAILWAY BIL LS. — RAILWAYS.—Yesterday a re turn, obtained by Mr. Gibson Craig, was printed of all Bills of the late sessions for railways, with the amount of the estimates of the capital stock, and of the sum allowed to be borrowed for each railway, and the total amount of the estimates, capital stock, and arms authorised to be borrowed for all such railways. It appears that the estimated expense of 52 railways set forth in the return is 43,339,325/. The capital stock is stated at 44,741,200/., and the money authorised to be borrowed 14,872,3261. Mr. Moffatt, the new Member for Dartmouth, has also obtained a return (which was yesterday issued) of the number of Acts which have passed in the session; the length of each line ; the number of shares, and the amount of capital subscribed for each ; the number of new shares that each line is empowered to create; and the sum of money each line is empowered to borrow. The length of the lines are 2,746 m. 6f. and 4c. The number of shares subscribed for is 723,819 ; the amount of capital subscribed 31,89,1,474/. ; the number of shares empowered to be created, 927,697 ; and the money empowered to be borrowed 13,678,0381. PRIZE MONEY.—The Gazette of last night con tains a notice to the officers and company of her Majesty's brig Star, R. J. W. Dunlop, Esq., Commander, that the propor tions arising from the bounty money on the tonnage and a moiety of the sale proceeds of the Brazilian slave brig Maria, captured on the Ist of April, 1844, will be paid to those who were actually on board at the time of capture, or to their repre sentatives, on the 10th of September next, at No. 3, Clifford's Inn ; and the shares not then claimed will be recalled every Wednesday and Thursday, for three months to come, agreeably to Act of Parliament. Proportions due to each class: —Com mander, 1941. 6s. sid. ; fi rst class, 89/. 13 s . 9d. ; secon d c l ass, 53/. 16s. 3d. ; third class, 261. 18s.

EXTENSIVE RODBERY.—About one o'clock on Thursday last Mr. Dawson, town-traveller to Mr. Calvert, an extensive dealer in bandannas, of Ludgate-hill, was robbed of five parcels, containing a variety of silk goods, to the value o f upwards of 701., i n t h e following manner :— Whilst ' going to dine at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, Mr. Dawson left a young man named Edward Wood, who usually took charge of his parcels, in care of his property at a neigh bouring public-house. He was surprised, on returning iu about an hour, to find that Wood was not there. He however had no apprehension that the lad had absconded, and awaited his return for a considerable time. At length Mr. Dawson began to feel alarm for the safety of the property, and hastened to his employer's, where, after relating the circumstance, he proceeded to the residence of the boy's parents, at Camden gardens, Bethnal-green, who had heard nothing of him during the day. Mr. Dawson then proceeded to Denmark -street station-house, St. George's-in-the-East, and lodged informa tion against the lad. Bu - ckingham Palace, during the absence of the Court from town, is to undergo various embellishments and alterations. The grand hall is to be decorated somewhat in the style of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Gardens; and in the north wing alterations are to be forthwith made. LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1845, The arrival of the Cambria mail steam-ship on Thurs day morning at Liverpool, from Boston (which passage, including the time occupied by her usual detention at Halifax, she effected in eleven days arid less than half of another), brings advices of considerable interest from New York and from Mexico. From Mexico we have a proclamation, or circular, dated July 16, 1845, by the Mexican Ministers of War and Marine, and addressed to the Generals-in-Chiefs of divisions, announcing the intention of the Supreme Government to communicate on the ensuing day to Congress its declaration of war against the Urited States, for their perfidious conduct in the affair of Texas. The " Circular" is couched in terms of great moderation and dignity, but they do not the less on that account bespeak a settled purpose, on the part of the Mexican authorities, to resist with a high hand the outrageous insult which the annexation of the Texas territory to that of the Federal Union has put upon a sister Republic. From the stern promptitude with which the Mexican nation resented and revenged, in July, 1824, the attempt of ITURBIDE to superinduce an imperial domination on her more popularised institutions, we are fully prepared to expect that she would still more deeply resent a flagrant and outrageous violation of the integrity of her National Republic. We are far from regarding, therefore, her first step towards war with the United States as a mere "bruturefulmen." Letters from New York allude to further proceedings on the part of officers of the United States, which seem to imply an equally tenacious spirit of aggression, in that Government, as to other territori es still more remote than Texas. In addition to the march of Colonel KEARNEY'S detachment of 300 Dragoons of the United States' army, from their cantonments at Leavenworth, in order to cover, as it wits said, the advance of American emigrants to the Oregon territory, whither they were to be escorted as far as the southern passes of the rocky mountains ; it now appeters that a Captain FREEMONT has sailed "in the sane interest," on an exploring expedition, in the first iniitaace to Drake's River, and subsequently to the Bay? of San Francisco. This fact Tied it been iinaccompanien, ny the circumstance that this forms the third expedition of a similar character which the same individual has conducted to the same quarters, But this intelligence, in the cases both of Mexico and New York, carries with it a moral, cn which we cannot refrain from again touching, although we have so often adverted to it already. In the case of Mexico, our ally, the favourite principle of our modern foreign policy, non-intervention, has been carried out to a most ques tionable extent. A war which may involve the noblest States' that civilisation can boast, may yet be the result of a carelessness or timidity of tone in the representations which our Government has made to the aggressive party, in the incipient stages of her spoliation-schemes since accomplished upon its victim. In the case of the Oregon, a calamity not less grave or deplorable may yet ulti mately attest the folly and imbecility of our diplomatic 'credulity—in past years—with regard to the postpone ment of formal details, on the faith of the United States' Government being ready at any future time to execute the letter of compacts, the principle of which it had already pledged itself to. But we are fain to believe that her MAJESTY'S Ministers have really come to a well-considered determination to throw to the winds, in all future dealings with the Oregon question, all idea of resorting to those expedients for tiding over, and leaving it to time to accommodate, those great d;sputed points with which the main principle of our rights in that quarter is inseparably bound up. The United States have put such a:case upon the record against themselves, in the affair of the Boundary question, by dishonestly evading and refusing to be bound by the award of the arbiter (the late King of HOLLAND), whose judgment they had concurred with this country in invoking ; that it is very doubtful whether we could, in prudence, on any future proposition for the " arrangement," as it is called, of the Oregon difficulty, consent again to go with them to any arbitration. Besides, the lines within which our rights are included happen to be so broad and straight, so well defined, so clearly recognised by the law of nations, that to consent to their arbitrament by a third party would be to lower their character, and prejudice their security. When, too, we look at a mili tary escort already far advanced in its march upon the " trail," as it is called, of the United States' emigrants by land, and a naval exploring expedition by sea, we are prone to believe that we are being invited to assist in " arrangements," and to go into new bases of negotia tions, of which, unless we are very brisk, brief, and de cided in disposing of then, we may find the " foregone conclusion:. " already provided, located, and installed upon the soil which forms the subject of the conflicting claim. In saying this, we by no means conceal from ourselves the all but hopeless character of the natural obstacles—the difficulties, privations and dangers which beset the passage of the emigrants through the dreary wilderness, the barren plains and dreary mountains they have to traverse. But the arrival of a small body of them, even, could scarcely fail to produce the most se rious and permanent hostilities between the subjects of the two States, which a more intelligible and decided policy on our part, long since adopted, instead of the imbecile temporising of the LONDON. DERRY school, would have by this time set at rest for ever. The first tamperings of ANDREW JACKSON, as President, with the treacherous or disaf fected servants of the State of Mexico, ought to have been remonstrated against ; and those remonstrances en forced, if needful, by the aid of our arms, and protection to the Mexican Government, in the most direct and un compromising spirit. But the expulsion of the Ame ricanunprincipled b ut petty projects into th e full-blown dir e e n:: rmity of JOIIN TYLER'S conspiracy against, and frauds upon, the same Government, should have been considered not only by us as a sufficient ca sus fcedel is to justify our intervention on behalf of Mexico, by a categorical demand for the disavowal by Congress of the most unprincipled dealings that can di , grace the Ministers or agents of one independent Power in their deportment towards another ; but by every other nation also in relations of amity with the United States, as sufficient cause for formally withdrawing from those relations. The dignity of free States—the faith of trea ties—the morality of national character—the interests of civilization — the advance of civilization—all these ap pear to us to have been already sacritied in the accom plished appropriation of Texas by the United States ; and the extension of that sacrifice seems inevitable, if they be longer permitted to retain their present attitude of meditated encroachment on the Oregon territory. It is reported at Vienna, says the Rhine Observer, that the Sovereigns of Europe have given their opinion in favour of a marriage between the young Queen of SPAIN and Prince Lcoroin, theyounggstison of Duke FERDINAND of Saxe Coburg, The Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA. are expected HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. COBURG, AUG. 2 5.—Matters are so completely quiet here and at Rosenau, that it would be quite unnecessary to send this communication, except that the people of England may like to know that the Queen and her Con sort are well, and in the enjoyment of that repose which they so much required after the fatigues of travelling.. Temporary seclusion from the cares of State, and the wearying splendours of Court life, at all times so wel come to Sovereigns, must become doubly agreeable when obtained in so delightful a place as that in which the Queen and Prince Albert now are. Their daily habits are the most simple. Up with the early morning, after a walk in the beautiful grounds around Rosenau, they breakfast in the open air, on a terrace at the back of the castle, which commands one of the loveliest views imaginable ; promenades, or drives to view points of the neighbouring scenery, occupying the rest of the day till the dinner hour, which is four o'clock, and the remain der of the evening is either spent at the theatre (when open), or at the 'town residence, when the royal party do not remain in privacy at Rosenau. So simple and uniform a life obviously affords no opportunity for a newspaper chronicle. Yesterday the dinner was postponed to seven o'clock. After church the royal party drove out. To-day there has been no variation from the usual routine. The arrangement still is for the Court to leave here on Wednesday morning. A journey of about nine hours will bring them to a seat of the Duke's, between this and Gotha, where they will rest till Thursday morning ; they will then go on to Gotha. On their way, on Wednes day, they will lunch at Aleiningen. To-night the royal party are expected again to attend the theatre. A Ger man comedy, by Gutzkow, will be performed, entitled Zopf end Schwert. It turns upon some of the eccentri cities of the Court of Frederick William 1., father of Frederick the Great. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice were taken on the sea-beach on Wednesday morning, and were taken airings in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House, the same afternoon. On Thursday morning the juvenile Royal Family all walked on the beach. In the afternoon the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Royal rode on ponies in the pleasure grounds. The Princess Alice was also taken an airing. TIM EAST SIIFFOLK HOSPITAL.--A vast number of the gentry and of all classes were assembled on Thursday last, in the Park of the Chantry, near Ipswich, for the bene volent purpose of contributing to the funds of this Institution, through the medium of a public bazaar. The owner of the park, Mr. C. Lillingston, very kindly allowed his grounds for the use of the Committee and all who chose to attend, and the services of Mr. B. Edgington, of the borough, were in requi sition to erect eight elegant marquees for the accommodation of the company. Colonel Whyte and the officers of the 7th Hussars permitted the band of the regiment to attend, and altogether the arrangements were most satisfactory. The funds of the Institution have received a considerable addition from this judicious mode of uniting amusement with the busi ness of benevolence. On Friday evening a ball for the same purpose was held in the New Assembly-rooms, at Ipswich, at which all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood were present. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT NOTTINGHAM. -Thurs day the metropolitan police received information of a wan named Henry Hayes having absconded from Nottingham, on Saturday afternoon last, after having plundered his sister,_ Mrs. Mary Anne Morri s , o f property to a large amount. Hayes took with him a black leather trunk, containing a large quan tity of plate, a receipt on Moore and Robinson's bank for 1701., Bank of England and Liverpool notes to the amount of 155/., a yellow silk bag, containing upwards of 100 sovereign% two gold bracelets set with cameos, with other valuable pro perty. THE BLIGHT OF THE POTATO CROP. —The unfa vourable accounts which we last week gave relative to the matter are, we regret to state, confirmed. How far the warm weather and drying winds of the past week may have tended to slay the evil, it is difficult to say. To repair the damage that has been already done, it clearly beyond the range of possibi lity.—Sussex Advertiser.
