sue= PRELIMINARY NOTICE.—The Directors of the Bedford and London and Birmingham Railway Company give notice, that a Prospectus will be issued next week of. a Company to form an EXTENSION LINE of RAILWAY, to proceed from BEDFORD to join the LONDON and BIR MINGHAM RAILWAY at WEEDON, passing through the town of Northampton. This line, In connexion with others from Bedford to Harwich, already before the public, under powerful auspices, will form an essential link its the communication between Harwich and the Eastern Counties, and both the manufacturing districts and the ports of the western and southern coasts of England. Full particulars will be given in the prospectus Oct. 3, 1845. B UXTON, MACCLESFIELD, STOCKPORT, AND WARRINGTON RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. This Railway will commence at Parkside, communicating with the Liverpool and Manchester and North Union Railways, and proceed by Warrington, so as to unite with the line about to be constructed by the Grand Junction Company from Huyton on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to Warrington, and with the lines projected from Warrington to Birkenhead and Liverpool; it wilt then proceed up the valley of the river Bollin to Altrincliam. Here a line will branch off to Stockport. It will continue up the Bollin Valley to Wilmslow and Macclesfield, connect itself with the various lines of railway there, and proceed thence to Buxton, where it will join the line to Ambergate and Nottingham on the one hand, and to Sheffield and Great Grimsby on the other. This Railway has a two-fold object in view. First, to connect the towns of Macclesfield and Stockport, and all the various rail. ways which centre in those two places, with the ports of Liver. pool, Birkenhead, Fleetwood, and the north of England ; and, secondly, to form a connecting link in the chain of railways from those districts with Nottingham and the central portions of Eng land. As to the first object, this line will provide the shortest route from the large, populous, and rapidly increasing towns and vicinities of Stockport and Macclesfield, and will be a great accommodation to the manufacturers and inhabitants, for their foreign commodities and raw produce, as well as their manufactures. In the second place, this line will form an important integral I.nk in the line of railway communication with the central districts of England. By its connexion with the railway which proceeds south-east from Buxton, it connects itself with Derby and Nottingham, and by its junction with another railway at or near Buxton, running north ea;t, it offers a ready communication with Sheffield, Lincolnshire, and the port of Great Grimsby. Its length will be about 36 miles. It is brought out by the inhabitants and landowners of the district through which it passes ; and the Provisional Committee has strong reason to anticipate the cordial co-operation of the railways, with which it forms a junction. _ _ _ A large proportion of the:shares will be appropriated tothe land owners and tho,e locally interested. A Prospectus will be published in a few days, with the names of Provisional Committee, Engineers, Bankers, &c. The shares are intended to be 20/. shares, on which 21. 10s. will be paid on allot. ment, In the mean time, applications for shares may be addressed to Messrs. Coppock and Woollarn, solicitors, Stockport ; to Mr. Jas.,ph F.rnyhough, stock and share-broker, St. Ann's.square, and to Messrs. Hall and Rawson, Tib.street, Manchester. And further particulars may be learnt by application to the Pro. visional Committee, at their offices, No. 1, Bank-street, St. Ann's. square, Manchester; Messrs. Coppock and Woollens, Town Clerk's Office, Stockport, the Solicitors to the Provisional Committee; to Mr. Thos. Porter, Spring-gardens, Manchester; to Mr. Wm.

PARLiAmENTAsit 11PENT-GE Baker, Esq., Spring-gardens. The attention of the public and of the Civic authorities of this great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press, has upon -several occasions been excited by the detail, of numerous and almost cl:tily occurring accidents on the River Thames. With a view to abate, if not altogether remove an evil of enormously growing magnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present project is put before the public. _Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers of colliers and their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their ;station, still no efficient remedy has hitherto been proposed. It is admitted by all that the only mode by wbiCli this great and dalt,,:erous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable distan t ', from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has been sde t - ted in every way adapted for the object contemplated; and which not nnly combines facilities in no ordinary degree, for coal and coasting vessel. , to enter at all times of the tide, at a distance far re moved from the Tool (about three miles below Woolwich), but also ar a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which the various produce may be transmitted within half an hour into the very heart of the ,City. It Is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the rivet, lour and a halt miles below Blackwell, called Gallon's Reach, and the2ce to carry a railway four miles long, through East Ham, mel e e-, end West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Railway at Strat terd, where f a :: will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form te central point fre'n which goods iney be transmitted to the various parts of the country which those railways traverse, and to London. The spot at which the dock and works will he constructed has been seleeted as being a part of the river where, at the fewest state of the tide, there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the Ingress and egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts Yrjit -demonstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge - their cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme cliate vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is genereely working), niamost before they could have even reached ebeir ordinary et.qtion in j h e peel, as at present. The great saving in time, thus effected, it eneriifeet, will be of the utmost consequence and e4ventage to the ~,v aere o f these vessels ; and, by materially decreasing the costs, would enable them to supply the consumer at a much less rata than at present. This 'Wended also 10 erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long, for the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will be very considerable ; for, by the ald of this railway (bringing Shore ouch end the Intended terrninus at Finsbury within twenty minutes) ; nearly three-quarters of an hour will be saved Oyer every other mode of conveyance. It Is inore,over to be remarked, that from this spot Heitieesend can be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, them Finsbury to Gravesend, by this route, would be about one hour. As the I:aetern Counties Railway will be united to all the other g reat trunk lines, by means of the Northern and Southern Connecting Line just projected, it may be justly said that the Ste/MI - Whet Wharf now proposed will be the only metropolitan continental Ofe anima. Iv the construction of this railway, with its very important adjunct, et coal told coasting dock, a most valuable addition will be made to me Eesteen Counties revenue, by calling into existence a traffic . eve i e e , „eder any other circumstances, could not be created ; thereby developing e: the proprietors of that extensive line, that its caps miles have hi „:erto lain dormant, and only required the necessary es with a dock to secure to it a national depot extension to the Tint:: disseminated globe to be , through the for produce from all parts the of the parent line. numerous and increasing extenje'n The carriage of coal alone would .:nld no insignificant sum to the hitherto declared dividends of the Eastel.7l Counties, when it is con sidered that more than two-and-a-half millions of tons ere annually Imported into the port of London, which runt:runt Would be greatly MUM increased by means of the facility of railway transmission afforded. It may be proper to remark that it would be dleilcult to find, so near the metropolis, four miles course in every geese ee eligible for a -railway, so free front obstruction, and so cheap of constreictiot, that ehe coal traffic of itself would yield an ample return for the ollti.ar's Proseectuses, plans, and forms of application for shares, may be had of the solicitors, 31, Moorgate-street, London, and of Mr. D. 1u Major, 27, Change-alley, Cornhill, London; and to those parties ap plying from the country, to D. B. el., they will be forwarded by post. References will be required.

He said nothing of the vast—the countless numbers of quarters of wheat, that could be iunportcd from Tamboff, nor expressed any fear that the British farmer could not protect himself. The burden of his speech was Help yourselves—improve your system of agriculture, and think nothing done while ought re mains to do." At one or two of the meetings Captain Rous's remarks on the necessity of providing food for the annually increasing population, were alluded to somewhat ,in jest, but Lord STANLEY viewed the case in a different light, he admitted the fact, and showed also how the food could be found. After strongly impressing upon both landlords and tenants the necessity of improving agri culture by all the applications of science, he thus con cluded :—" The country had a right to expect it from them ; and they must remember, that, as year after year passed by, they had an increase of three hun dred thousand mouths to feed beyond the population of the preceding year, and that on their exertions the sup ply for these 300,000 mouths mainly depended. He be lieved himself, not that the capacities of the soil were infinite, but that the productive capacities of the soil were infinitely larger than most people imagined ; and he believed that it was not only capable of providing for the existing population, but with the application of science, of providing for a much larger and increas ing population." We are grieved to find by the advices brought from Buenos Ayres, by the Baronet and by the Martha Jane, under the dates of the 12th and 26th of July last re - sptctively, that we had been premature in relying on the acconnts we had published of the great naval force, under the British flag in the River Plate, on which Mr. OusELEY could rely to enforce, if necessary, the terms of the ultimatum offered by him, conjointly with the re • presentative of France, to Rosss. By these accounts, it would seem, that even the small squadron which had been present but a few days before in the river, had, a few days afterwards, been reduced. We have reason to believe, therefore, that we have but one frigate, instead of two, and that a small one (the Curacoa) ; but one war steamer, a sloop, and two gun brigs, for our whole flotilla in those waters. Now since, in contemplating the present aspect of our rela tions with the Argentine Republic, and the character of its Presideat-Dictator, we feel something like a pre sentiment that affairs may take a turn which will place us in a state either of diplomatic isolation, or of eculiar and aggravated injury (it being doubtful, on the one hand, how far the more imposing and available force of the French may lead to earlier and to separate terms of concession to them, and uncertain, on the other, to what excesses the brutal obstinacy of Rosas may push his well-known animosity to the English residents under his jurisdiction)—on this account, we say, this disparity of armament is, on every ground of political expe diency, most unfortunate. Without particularising the grounds on which it would be easy to make this fact apparent, we may just indicate one or two considera dons of obvious force, and, unhappily, no extreme proba bility, that may demonstrate the serious degree in which the honour of our flag and the interests of our country men stand to be affected by this strange oversight or neglect on the part of our own Government. In all cases where, from the obscure origin and subsequent excesses of their chief officers and magistrates, or their own re cent establishment, or their remoteness from the great centres of political and social civilisation, violence and spoliation are to be apprehended at the hands of new states by the subjects of older and long-established powers settled within their territories, and subject to their jurisdiction, the most substantial protection for these latter individuals consists in the moral character of their native countries. That moral charac ter is found to exercise a restraining influence on petty republics and potentates, who would never be acted upon by any considerations of international law, or civil rights, or the faith of nations, under the fierce excitement of their sudden animosities and lawless pretensions. It is just during the dangerous interval which elapses between the determination formed to embark on a career of outrage against defenceless strangers within their power, and the incipient reflection for which the opportunity is furnished by the brief season that must elapse before their execution, that this influence operates with weak but oppressive governments to abstain from or modify their outrages. But in the states of that which was formerly Spanish South America, all the world acts under mere impulses and blind excitements. Their whole history is that of a long convulsion. Their birth, their existence, their decay, their reproduction, their federations have all been presaged, accompanied, and indicated by the throes of revolutionary agony. With such states it is more important, therefore, than even with the settled establishments of the Old World, to maintain at its highest point and in the most uninterrupted operation the:moral influence and authority of the British name. Now, unhappily, the conduct of our former ministers in these parts, Mr. MANDEVILLE, the predeces sor of Mr. GORE OUSELEY, has been onelof such absurd vacillation, of such lamentable infirmity of pur pose, and tardiness , of action—his pledges to our own countrrmen_have ht3Pn cp kmantalaly tqunpromised, his negotiations with the Argentine and other republics have been such unmitigated failures, that the temperature of this British influence on the government of Roses had already sunk below zero when Mr. GORE OUSELEY entered upon his functions. To reinstate that influence, to raise it to that degree of healthful action which our Government ought to have felt it of so much interest to restore, his remonstrances should always have been urged with the silent eloquence of a powerful squadron to back them ; the eloquence of a passive " present " or active "future." But to set about bringing Roses to his senses, and our fellow-subjects under the inviolability of the protection which our own flag has hitherto proudly guaranteed to them all over the globe, by the proposition of terms to which the overwhelming superiority of the French squadron in the Plate must be taken to lend almost all the success which may ultimately attend them, does appear to us a most indefeasible imprudence, not to say a most palpable neglect of duty, in our Government, a deplorable viola tion of the plainest principles of our European as well as our American policy. It is no time to assume airs of lofty and chivalrous confidence, or to deal in a spirit of such unbounded liberality and confidence with an un principled and sanguinary adventurer like Roses as absolutely to discard from our negotiations all the sus picions that his past career has not merely generated but has confirmed beyond the possibility of doubt ; when our friendly relations with the Govern ment of the United States on the eastern shores of America are so seriously jeopardised by her grasping but inadmissible pretensions to the finest territories on the western coasts of the same continent, and when even the hostility of the feeble empire of Brazil, in case of war, might address itself with some effect to the annoyance or impediment of our operations up the La Plata. Besides, we are paying, at all times, the penalty of national supremacy and pre-eminent power, in having for the most effective of our present allies the bravest and most formidable of our former enemies. The recollections of the defeats they have sustained from us in times past are but too easily excited by reckless spirits and designing demagogues among them into hopes of our present embroilment and future triumphs over us. The fact constitutes at once the delicacy and the peril of our magnificent position. Our march still is, and we believe is destined to be for many many ages, an onward one, in domesec prosperity and external grandeur and power. But it is over the smouldering memories of those mighty combi nations we battled with in a destructive war of half a century, and broke down and trampled in the dust. The soil of Europe, of Asia, of Africa, of America, is still glowing with the volcanic elements that we dissipated rather than extinguished ; and our destined progress must yet be— , 4 -- per ignes Suppositos cineri doloso." An unprincipled, but not unskilful, leader, like Rosa;, confident in the natural strength of the country and the capital over which he p!esides, may have deluded himself, (reasoning upon what would be the motives of his own conduct) into the belief that to see us foiled in our efforts to vindicate the rights and property, the lives and the freedom of British and other European subjects within his jurisdiction, would not be unpleasing to the French Minister D' to the officer in command of the French squadron ; and he may even, acting on some such conclusion in his own mini, calculate on neutralising the act:ve co-opt ration of that force with our own in en forcing satisfaction and reparation. We can feel no dQuht, to the ultimate result of the signal lesson which would to read to hip pFczumption and credulity by the good faith of France, and the deteminpd i n t re pidi ty o f our owll sailors apd marines, whether assisted or not by those of the French squadrpp, Tint such a pr. possession on his part could only prolong and aggyante the evils, phe - , lAvdshed, and the sacrifice of a hopeless challenge of British at4hoFiti q,p4 power, which more sagacity in the councils of our pgyernpiept at home, more energy an 4 forethogg4 in the dispositions of our Admiralty, and a better selection of dipkonagtic pnts, would, months, acid even years ago, have either obviated or signally puni hEd. By the Levant ?nail, we have accounts from Constan tinople to the 7tl), Alexandria, tq the 19th, and Athens to the 20th of September. It was generally believed at Constantinople that a gecond battle had been fought between the Russians an 4 Cireassians, in which the fernier were defeated. The particulars aFe phuF stated by the correspondent of a Cottempora,y, but they require confirmation:— " Schamil, the gallant and active leader r.f the Circus sians, unexpectedly attaeced the Russians in their camp, and after a short but very bloody straggle, Count Woronzoff was forced again to retreat, in order to reach a mere favourable position. This lie appears to have effected, but io the re treat he lost an immense number of men. The number cf men killed is not exactly known, but it may be judgeci from the fact that 180 officers have perished, among whom were one general officer, two of Count Woronzoff's aides-de-camp, and an aide-de-camp of General Gluck. The Circassians also got possession of four pieces of artillery, and the greater por tion of the Russian stores and ammunition. The Circassians, after this victory committed Feat excesses. They ravaged the country, destroyed the villages, and carried off a great number of the inhabitants to the mountains as prisoners. Count Woronzoff reached Tiflis on the 3d of September with the shattered remains of his army. Another correspondent says : " We can get no distinct details from the Circassians of the late Russian campaign, which has secured to Count Wo ronzoff the title cf Piince. All I hear is, that besides the three generals, whose death in battle the Russians them selves acknowledge, they have lost eighty officers of the Erst families of the empire. There are people here who estimate their who!e loss, between killed, wounded, and sick, at the high figure of 25,000 men. This is possible, for the Russians cannot stand that climate, which is extremely variable." A letter from Alexandria of the 19th says : " The Viceroy has been a little indisposed for some days back, but he is now quite recovered. His departure for Cairo will, no doubt, take place at the end of the Ramadan. The marriage of his daughter will be celebrated in that capital with Kiamil Pacha. Great preparations are being made for this ceremony. Several European ladies have been invited by the Princess Nasly-Haneum, the eldest daughter of the Viceroy, to proceed to Cairo and be present at the celebra tion of the marriage. Considerable pu rc h ases of jewels and diamonds have been made. Nothing is spoken of but these brilliant nuptials. Mr. Waghorn has returned from ,his journey to the Red Sea. It appears that he has not given up his plan of having the mails sent by Trieste, and he declares that he can make the journey from this city to Londen by that route in nine days, being three days shorter than by Marseilles. He w:11 leave this place In the course of next month in an Austrian steamer, which is expected from Trieste, and he calculates that he shall be able to make the the affair Trieste to London by of only 3-1 days." C c] insiteagnneee and 0 5 t te d n a d y , t w a and bteh The inteifgence from Madrid is to the 26th of Sep tember. A report prevailed that the QUEEN, owing to the state of her Lealth, will, in a short time, proceed to Seville, where she will pass the winter. It appears from letters dated Barcelona the 26th and 27th, that more executions have taken place at that unfortunate and discontented city. One of these letters of the 26th says :—" One of the banditti who attacked the diligence between Barcelona and Saragossa, some time since, on his way to the place of execution announced to the au thorities that ho was ready to give information of an important nature, upon which he was respited. The consequence was, that on the information of this man, upwards of 40 persons were arrested on the charge of being members of an organised band of robbers. The whole were brought before the military tribunal, for here the civil authority is entirely superseded, and 13 have been condemned to death, and are to be shot to-morrow morning." A letter of the 27th states, that 12 of the party, all young men below 21 years of age, were shot on the morning of that day on the glacis of the citadel. It appears they had fled from the conscription, and been compelled by want to become robbers. No business was done on the Madrid Bourse. The late elections in France, and especially the return of a Liberal for Douai, by the aid of the Legitimatist voters, are adverted to by the Government journals, while those of the Opposition, strangely enough, con tinue to exult in a victory obtained b 3 such a disgraceful coalit:o.i. The Journal des Debot?, after stating that during these elections the Left has carried only one place, and that the Ministry, since the general election of 1842, have gained four votes in the Chamber, says :—" Let the journals of Al. TRIERS and M. BARROT now congratulate themselves on their success ! Yes, this election of Douai is a grave check for us and our cause ! a check of which we by no means wish to diminish the importance. The Ministerial question is here exceedingly secondary. A vote the less will not prevent the majority from being the majority. We do not fear M. CHoQUE very much, and M. GulzoT has had to do with more formidable adversaries. But what is grave, and still more grave for the future than for the present, is the success of an impudent system of tac tics—this example of political immorality—which goes beyond all that the cynicism of parties has, up to the present time, exhibited. It is not necessary to be any great prophet to predict that this system will fall back some day or other on the heads of M. THEIRS and M. G. BARROT, who are now delighted at having employed it; and every one will comprehend that the example which they have just given would have, as its last con sequence, to render the Government of the majorities impossible! As to the thirty-five Legititnatist votes, we conceive still more their satisfaction. - What dishonours and falsifies the representative government ought not to cause them much pain. Their principle is all the better for it. Thirty-five Legitimatist votes in a city like Douai is very little ! Whether they firm an alliance with the Republicans, with the Socialists, or with Messrs. 'TIERS and 0. Banuoir, that object will a:ways be to be revenged on the Revolution, and to punish France for the liberty which she has taken in choosing a Government of her own taste. When the Legitimatists vote with the Left every one knows what they mean by that. It is as if they had it cried in the streets and public throughfares that the Left were senseless men, and that the Govern ment of July cannot perish except at the hands of that party. The part which the Legitimatists play is not, per haps, either very noble or very patriotic, but, in fine, it must be acknowledged they owe the Revolution nothing but their hatred. The shameful share of the matter, shameful without excuse, is that of the Opposition. In the:election of Douai the Legitimatists sold the Opposi tion nothing but their votes ; the Opposition sold its principles !" The same journal, after quoting a letter of the 30th ult., from Dunkirk, stating that the project of forming a port at Adit.kirk was openly abandoned two months ago, observes that the good sense of the public did not wait for this abandonment to see the absurdity of such a de sign. "It was perfectly understood," says the Debats, 44 that England never could have suggested it, and that if this power had wished to possess a fortified post on the Belgian shore, it could not have thought of construct ing a port of doubtful security, while there exists not far from Adinkirk one formed by nature, and which is both safe and convenient." According to a llavre journal the Government is about to tend out an expedition to Madagascar, to ar range the late defeat at Tamatave, and the command is to be given to the Prince DE Jonivna.E, who %. ill hoist his flag on board the Suffren ship-of-the-line. It was also said that a British force would co-operate with the French. Oa this subject the Presse, with its usual an tipathy to England, makes these remarks:— " No one, we imagine, could blame the undertaking of such an expedition—no one, we may venture to affirm, would re gret seeing the command of it entrusted to the young Prince, who directed with so much ability our navasl operations against Morocco. But there is one point on which this una nimity will not exist—the co-operation of the English forces. It might have been acceptable in the late affair, on account of its urgency, from our station at Bourbon not having the means to act alone with sufficient efficacy, and, in fine, for our not being able at that moment to insure by ourselves alone the repression of that ill-treatment of which the English resi dents as well as our own had to complain, the acceptance of such concurrence became almost a necessity. But it be hoves us to leave to this incident the character altogether exceptional which belongs to it. By the new ex- Fedition now being prepared, if such theie be, iance is called upon to assume towards Madagascar an attitude conformable to her rights, her interests, and her deities. It has been a fault on her side that she has suffered to lie dormant so long the right of sovereignty she possesses over this fine country. Wherever such rights exist means shou!d always be ready to cause them to be respected either on one's own account or on account of others. Other wise, what must happen ? One is obliged at a critical mo ment to accept the services of whoever it may be, and thereby, in soma degree, destroy the pretension and reality of the right on claims. It would have been much better in the case in question, if the French station in the Indian seas were sufficiently strong to do justice to English residents as well as our own, without halving the repression with the commander of the Conway. But this, which was then only an unfitness, becomes a matter of gravity, if, now that we have all the means of acting alone, we submit to a combined intervention. It will be in vain to say that our ulterior rights have been reserved ; all these reservations, whether written or verbal, will not prevent the evil effects which such an operation must produce in that quarter of the world. The people there, seeing our. flag constantly flanked by that of England, must infallibly conclude that we are not sufficiently powerful to maintain the rights we arrogate, and our moral influence will thus be depreciated, even when our claims to exclusive sovereignty remain intact. The English, who have always carefully abstained from acknowledging our rights upon Madagascar, are not a people to put themselves to charges, to make sacrifices of their men and money, for the sole pleasure of assisting us, and giving us a decidi a sanction. If they make up their minds to play a part in this operation, be assured that it is because, in one way or another, they hope to gain some profit. Let us us not, therefore, be simple enough to supply them, without any necessity, with a pre text. for mixing themselves up with this question.. It will not be easy afterwards to get rid of them, We should re member the fable of the liOn and hi§ compgnion ; f lAA they} but put one foot in, anti they will soon have all four,'' The National also expresses its disapprobation of this proof of the ei,fe,fe cordiale by a union of the t woforccs;— " It must not be fprgotten that the English were for a cer tain period all-powerful at Madagascar. Their missionaries, and such of their countrymen as had obtained a footing at. the Celirt of Radqma i , had ace aired an influence before which ours vas 040 te bow; an 'fipally to 4imppear altogether. Singe theappssio o f Queo i dovaio /natters have - ; their appearance. All that hears the name of European was Proscribed, and the English shared the common lot. Then commenced a series of anno) antes , of w hich our rivals had their full share.

Which 04F possessed i . .t •. .•. • : :•, ...,, ~, Madagascar in the reign of Radoma, an influence which would lead her, at a period more or less early, to an absolute conquest. On the other hand, the complaints which she has a right to address to the Queen may serve as a pretext for demanding a direct and personal action in the discussion that has now commenced. The chief point is to set aside this pretension, should it be put forward—to act independently, by undertaking to procure alone the satisfaction which the two Governments demand. To admit the aid of a British naval or military force in obtaining vengeance for the com mon injury, would be to recognise implicitly the independence of the Queen of the Hovas. The English, since 1822, precisely maintain that Mada gascar is an independent power. Is this opinion to bear the authority of fact, by allowing our rivals to obtain by themselves the redress of their grievances against the Government of Imerne? To sum up, this is an unique op portunity for the definitive declaration of our rights of pos session. The press, public opinion, and the Chambers, ought to be on the alert not to allow it to escape." Some of journals, however, regard the report as im probable. The KING and QUEEN, with the rest of the Royal Family, who had been resident for some time at Eu, returned to St. Cloud on Wednesday. " M. Rouge arrived at Heidelberg on the 26th ult., but was not permitted by the authorities to perform public wor ship according to the new German Catholic Church, or to address the people."

ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN, LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The Great Western steamer, under command of Captain B. R. Mathews, arrived here last night, at half past ten, with forty-eight passengers. She left New York on the 18th instant, and has therefore made the voyage in rather over fifteen days. The news from Mexico by this arrival confirms the opinion before expressed, tbat there will be no war be tween Mexico and the United States. With an ex hausted treasury, ill fed and clothed troops, and, more over, civil war and rebellion in her provinces, Mexico, by the force of circumstances, is compelled to pocket the affront she fain would resent and resist if she had the power. The Washington Union, the official paper, says:— " Just as we are going to press, we learn that Government has received some interesting information from the capital of Mexico, to the 23d of August, and from Vera Cruz to the 30th, inclusive. It is said from the capital, that the new Cabinet is considered as opposed to the war : and even if it were otherwise disposed, it has not the means to carry on a war; that it is with the greatest difficulty it can raise the means to defray its necessary daily expenses; and that the war excitement is going down daily among all parties. " The accounts from Vera Cruz, of the 29th, state that there has been a retrograde movement in regard to the inva sion of Texas—General Paredas absolutely refusing to march his forces (7,000 troops) towards Texas; that he has him self repaired to Mexico, and others have followed his example. The opinion was pretty well established at Vera Cruz, that the Mexicans will never attempt to cross the Rio Bravo; that they have made all the bluster they can; that they are without money, without credit, and, consequently powerless; and that they are, moreover, on the eve of a revolution, which will overturn the present Government." In a subsequent paragraph the official speaks yet more confidently, and referring to these lateaccounts from Mexico exclaims "Thus pass off the gasconades and blusters of Mexico." So be it--and let us hope that neither by insult ing language in official quarters, nor by offensive demonstra tions on the part of the armed forces of the United States stationed in and beyond Texas —may that feeble but passionate nation, be driven into hostilities they would fain avoid. From Texas later intelligence, though of little im portance, has been received at New Orleans, by the brig .ularia Spears. The Convention had not adjourned. The Austin cer respondent of the Galveston News states that they have fixed upon 21 Senators and 66 Representatives to consti tute the Legislature. There had been an animated dis cussion of two days on the qualifications of voters. An amendment was adopted, but afterwards set aside, placing all residents of Texas, at the time of the adoption of the new Constitution by our Government, on the same foot ing as regards citizenship and suffrage. It was doubtful how the question would be finally settled. A great amount of business remained to be done. The boundary question, and the organization of the State Government, were to be disposed of. President Jones arrived at Austin on the 14th, and a resolution was offered the next day for the appointment of a commmittee to wait on him and consult with him touch • ing the propriety of re-organizing the State Government at once. The Convention Lad adopted the anti-duelling clause engrossed on the constitution of Louisiana. Lotteries are pr( hibited. Judges are to be nominated by the Governor and confirmed by two-thirds of the Senate. The term of office is six years. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 to 4,000 bales the market closing heavily without any change in prices. In Shares a large business was done at firm rates. There was some advicea from Port Philip, but they are scarcely so late as we have before received. The commercial letters, however, are of interest, as they show that trade was on the increase. The receipts of the revenue are said to have been of a satisfactory character. The Clyde has arrived off the outport from the West In dies, but her letters have not yet come to hand. • There are advices from Rio Janiero this morning to the sth of August, brought by a vessel arrived at Havre. The exchange was at 25% to 25%. The Minister was about to announce his financial views, not a word connected with which, however, appears to have transpired. There is an absence of any intelligence of interest as to mercantile mat ters. At Rio those connected with the river Plata were looking earnestly for late information how matters were pro ceeding. The returns of the Bank of England for the month ending the 27th ult., shows, upon a comparison with its predecessor, the following results . The circulation is lower by 240,0001., or 28,798,230/. This includes the amount in the Banking Department, which stood list time at 8,237,8951., and which is now returned at 7,946,9951. The public deposits are now 8,802,110/. They were last time 8,222,1091. The amount of bullion by the last return was 15,347,5491. It is now 15,160,693/. In the other items of the return the variations are but small.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have received a letter from " A Yorkshire Landowner," inclosing half a sovereign towards the fine and costs in flicted by the magistrates of Rochester on a boy, for taking some walnuts from the orchard of Sir J. Marshall. We will pay the money over to his mother, or any person au thorised by her to receive it. Olitningin LONDON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1848. During the last and previous week numerous agricul tural meetings have been held throughout the country, and though there is seldom any occurrence very striking at these meetings, or speeches of a captivating character for the generals eader, we cannot help admitting that they afford the most important news of the day. A com plete change has taken place in the tone which used to pervade the speeches after dinner, scarcely a word is heard about protection or the sliding-scale, or the heavy burdens on hand, or the eelfish and treasonable Anti- Corn-law Leapt.), COBDEN and Co. are spoken of with great respect, the farm labourers ex cite considerable interest, plans are proposed for their comfor t as well as their improve ment ; and, above all, the landlords and their te nants begin to see, and to admit the fact, that they must look for success, not to the Legislature, or to any parti cular Ministry, but to their own exertions, industry, and skill. We are inclined to think that this is the greatest triumph of the League. The wall of separation between the parties has been broken down, and the arguments on both sides are listened to not only patiently, but with respectful attention. At the meeting of the Dorchester Agricultural Society, Mr. G. BANKES ram a speech, very unlike his usual speeches. He ad vocated the claims of the poor half-starved la bourers, and the hard-working operatives in facto , es, he alluded to the manufacturers in the House of Corntuo,:s ; he had a great reunt for some of those manufacturers, grid he should be " very glad to See them dancing the polka with the wives of their labourers. Ha spoke without wishing 10 ItirOW aspersion or ridicule upon those individuals ; he said so seriously s for there was nothing he wished for more than to En a good feel, ing between the employer and the employed, as much amongst the agriculturists as amongst the tcli.opfactu rers ; and it gave him sincere pleasure to find that such a feeling was m reality springing up, At several other meetings similar language was used, and we may, therefore, say that the agriculturists bore not only received a great moral lesson, but that they have learned it with good effect. The battle henceforth in the Legislature must partake of the came character, and . we confidently anticipate that within a very brief period the mist of ignorance and prejudice, as well as the groundless fear of lowering the duty on corn, will be dispelled, and reason and common sense form the guides of those who have to make laws not for the benefit of one class but the whole community. At Liverpool Lord STANLEY showed that his mind, too, h a d undergone 'a COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK. SEPT. 17.—The brief interval which has elapsed since the departure of the mail steamer from Boston, leaves little to be added to our advises by her. We are hourly expecting the steamer of the 4th inst. from Liverpool ; and on the eve of her arrival little or no business on foreign account is doing. Exchange on England continues nominally at 9 3 / 4 to 10, but is very dull at that. On France it may be quoted at 5.23 N. The general market for produce, money, and stocks, re mains without any material variation since our last. Cotton—The market remains inactive, without any alter ation in prices. Flour—Western Flour is dull. 1,000 barrels Genessee (part from store) sold at 4 dolls. 75c.—other sales were made at 4 dolls. 814 c. and 4 dolls. 87 1 / 2 c.; Ohio and Michigan, 4 dolls. .75c. to 4 dolls. 81c.—the receipts to• day, via North River amount to 16,344 barrels.

LIBERAL TRIUMPH AT LIVERPOOL.—The free traders of Liverpool, in addition to the accession to their own numbers made in the registration now finished, have struck off no fewer than 1,150 monopolists, whose names were ille gally on the roll. This makes the seat now secure for two free-traders at the next election. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 3.—The sup ply of wheat is liberal, of other grain extremely limited. Yesterday and to-day we had heavy rain, which must retard the latter part of the harvest. The market commenced by factors asking an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter, but this could not be obtained, and in the end a moderate business only was transacted, at the prices of Friday last. For old wheats and new wheats ls. per quarter cheaper. Barley very scarce and dear; some samples of new sold at from 355. to 375. per quarter. Beans ls. to 2s. higher. Oats id. to,id. per stone. Shelling better sale. Malt is held for an ad vance of Is. to 2s. per load. HONEY-TAKING IN INDIA.—A swarm :of bees had fixed their abode on the ceiling of a verandah, and in due time, when the honey was deposited, we wished to collect it, but were for seine tittle at a Toss Air means. Hearing, how ever, that there was a gardener who possessed a peculiar art of doing it unhurt, he was sent for, and desired to bring down the honey, He took some of the plant called toolsly (black neymuin) and rubbe4 it over his body, face, arms, and hands; he then chewed 4 little, and held a sprig of it in his mouth. With no other than this apparently slight defence, he mounted 4 ladder, a large dish in one hand and a sharp knife in the other; and though 43 thinly clad as his cIPr3N 1 1:11a 1 14 7 pc ! with thpusands of bees swarming about his naked Way, he with the greatest sangfroid cut immediately through theupper part of the comb, where it wassuspended to the roof, and receiving the whole of it in the dish, brought it down without having suffered from a single sting.
