Tne proposed line from Waterford to Kilkenny is 32 English miles in length. The total cost, including outlay for stock, stations, ac., will not exceed 8,0001. per mile. It will be perceived that the line is intended to meet the pro. jected branch of the Great Western Railway from Gloucester to Fishguarci (the South Wale■ line), and that it must necessarily command a great portion of the trafSc Worn the West of England ; and, if extended to Dublin, will constitute Waterford one of the most important ports of the empire. Powe^ will be taken fur the further extension of the line to the Irish Metropolis, in the event of such a measure being deemed ad. visable. The pm t of Waterford can be entered at all times of the tide by vessels of 1,000 tons. The export trade of Waterford and the traflie between Waterford and Kilkenny are considerable, and are en the increase. The exports of Waterford in 1835. According to the Report of he Irish Railway Commissioners, amounted to the value of 1,821,2451., and the imports to 1 . ,274,1541. At present the ex. ports are represented by the local authorities to mend two millions, and the imports one million and a half. • At least one.third of the exports from Waterford may be pre. turned to pass through the county of Kilkenny, and this traffic would necessarily receive a great stimulus by the construction of a line of rapid communication with the interior of the country. The probability of a remunerative return from a railway opening up a communication between Waterford and Kilkenny, with a view to its future extension to Dublin, will be enhanced by the adoption of the econom cal principle upon which it has been determined to construct the line, which insures a reduction of at least 30 per cent. on the primary investment. The necessary plans and surveys, with all other preliminary ar. rangements, will be ready, so as to apply to Parliament for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the ensuing session ; and inte rest at the rate of 4/. per cent. will be alloK•ed to subscribers oa their deposits, wail the railway is completed. Subjoined is a statement of the present through traffic and pre. bable profit:— Coaeh traffic, four journeys a day, 40 passengers at fis. 3,740 Car traffic, four journeys, six days in the week, 100 passengers, at 21. 6d..•...... 3,900 Merchandise, 100,000 tons,cattle included, at ss. per ton 25,000 £32,640 Assuming an increase of only double the present traffic, we have 65,280/. ; showing a divisible profit, after deducting 50 per cent. for working expenses, of 32,6401., or nearly 12 per cent. on the capital.

THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTINGHAM VERDICT OF THE JURY. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY Monsnia. The adjourned inquest upon Mr. John Dean was re sumed )esterday at ten o'clock. The room was crowded, and amongst those present were G. B. Paget, Esq., W. C. Hutchinson, Esq., and J. Ellis, Esq , Directors ; Mr. Clarke, superintendent ; and Mr. J. Kirtl,y, manager of the locomotive engines. After a very lengthened examination of several wit nesues, Mr. Campbell address&l tho jury on behalf of Mr. Lightfoot The j ury unanimously expressed their high satisfaction with the very ready manner with which the Railway Company had acted. The jury adjourned for half an hour. At eight o'clock, the jury again took their seats, and the Coroner occupied an hour and a half in summing up. The room was then cleared, and at one o'clock the jury rvutited their verdict as follows : "The jury, after a long and patient investigation of the vircuniSiances, feel compelled by their duty to return a verdict ofIIANSLAUGHTER, against Mr. Robert Lightfoot ; and they cannot separate without expressing their belief, that notwithstanding the management for general transition by railroad, much might be done, and ought to be done, to render railway tra velling more secure, and especially of second-class carriages, and though they may not be so comfort able as the first-class, they may be 'as sate. And they also intimate, that passengers ought not to be taken along the wrong line of rails without their consent. The jury further sagest that much more safety might be secured by the general introduction of electrical telegraphs. There was also another point which the jury think ought to be attended to, and that is, that in future great care should be taken to ascer tain that all the company's servants are intimately and perfectly acquainted with their several duties ; and the jury cannot too strongly express their conviction that Jonathan Raven has not sworn to the truth in his depasi tion-t, and that he is utterly unworthy of the confidence of the Railway Company and the ,ervice of the public. The jury further wished to remark, respecting Mr. Light foot, that they were exceedingly grieved, on account of the many favourable circumstances in his case, to place him in the, painful situation in which they have done, and nothing but a paramount sense of duty had convened them to do so. The Coroner wished to join also with every individual of the jury in expressing sorrow on the occasion. There was an other thing which was desired to be recommended to the Railway Company, and that was the situation of Mrs. Dean, who, in the prime of life, has been sud denty, and in a moment, deprived of the stay of her existence and of her support ; and the jury hope that provision • will be made for her by th e R a il way C ompany, so as to prevent her feeling, in addition to her heavy loss, the sorrows of destitution and privation."

In a very spirited and, to our mini, convincing essay on t h e subject of the " Scottish Banking which h ea d s t h e present Number of this System" ny tlw v ea e snh n tdos t : u ee r has e x e f flpoaenci experience, ea , f . u f( h s t pe riodical, th e wr i ter warns Government how they ady eh, allr u e i sr proved n rton t hp e :.o r etel f d e i et interference he ph s e v ue irtaphasolitrsel hsiyest nns s f t e e toah m tlei , present state of matters, to rouse up a feeling in peaceful Scotland which may, with little fanning of the fuel, terminate inAn agitation quite as extensive as that which at present unhappily prevails in Ireland? It is most injudicious to overlook in such a matter the tendency of the national Character. Scotchmen have long memories, and although the days of hereditary feuds have gone by, they are not the less apt to re member and to cherish injuries." The inference to be drawn from the writer's argument is, it is better to " let well alone," and .it is to be hoped that Go 'verament will sae the propriety of keeping this whole some admonition in view, and leaving Scotland to conduct her own commercial affairs in her old accus tamed fashion. The " Milkman of Walworth" is a singular story of a mast mysterious and tragic com plexion. The first. pore; excites some interest, which, however, is destrotad by the preposterous ab surdity of the denouement; whichis in direct violation of.all probability. The Walworth Milkman had, it seems, originally been a Devonshire farmer, who after paying his addresses to a neighbour's daughter, finding that she had no property, transferred his af fections to her rich cousin. The rejected girl, in a transport of rage at her lover's perfidy, immediately murdered her rival, which so shocked the faithless 'farmer, that he instantly sold all his property in the oountry, and retired to the neighbourhood of London, where he purchased a milk-walk, and went his daily morning and: evening rounds in Walworth. Mean time, the girl whom he had discarded discovered his whereabout, and from that time to the hour of his death, never ceased to dog his footsteps, accompanying him in all his walks, just three yards behind him. The absurdity of the milkman's permitting this into lerable annoyance for a series of years together with out once giving a hint to the police; which he might easily have done without betraying the woman's guilty secret - , is so evident, that it is scarcely neces sary to Point it out. If we except this defect, the story is forcibly written, and keeps the reader's cu riosity alive, till he draws towards "th e l ame and im potent conclusion." " Edmund Burke" is a biogra phical and critical account, evidently by a practised writer, of this most thoughtful an d far-sighted of modern politicians. " John Brown" is the conclusion of a clever story illustrative of the peculiarities of col lege life :at Oxford. We• quote from an essay on " Guizot," a sketch of Voltaire, Gibbon, and Hume, in their -capacity of historians: " Voltaire was•of great service to history, by turning it from courts and camps to the progress of literature, science, and the arts—to the delineation of manners, and the preparation of anecdotes descriptive of cha racter ; but, notwithstanding all his talent, he never got a glimpse of the general causes which influence society. He gave us the history of philosophy, but not the philosophy of - history. " The ardent genius and pictorial eye of Gibbon ren dered him' an incomparable delineator of events ; and his powerful mind made hitn seize the general and cha racteristic features of society and manners, as they appear itf different parts of the world, as well as the traits of individual greatneas. His descriptions of the Roman empire in the zenith of its power, as it existed in the time of Augustus—of its decline and long pro tracted old age, under Constantine and his successors on the Byzantine throne=of . the 'manners of the pastoral nations, Who, under dilferent names, and for a succession of ages, pressed upon and at last overturned the empire— of the Saracens; who, isssulng froth the huids - of Arabia, with the Koran in one hand and the Cimetar in the other, urged on their resistless course, till they were arrested by the Atlantic on the one side, and the Indian Ocean on the other--of the stern crusaders, who, nursed amid the cloistered shades and castellated realms of Europe, struggled :*ith that devastaling 'horde " when 'twas strongest, and ruled it when 'twas wildest "—of the long agony, silent decay, aml übizaate resurrection of the 1 4 ; , erred City—are so many imaiortal pictures. typisk s, Lilt rut' M._ 1111. -• ••• • Imaginative mind. But, notwunstauding this incom parable talent for general and characteristic description, he had not the mind necessary !or a philosophical analysis of the series of causes which influence human events. He viewed religion with a jaundiced and pre judiced eye—the fatal bequest of his age and French education, unworthy alike of his native candour and in herent strength of understanding. _He had profound philosophic ideas, and. occasionally let them out with admirable effect ;"but the turnof his mind was essen tially descriptive, and his powers were such, in that brilliant department, that they wiled him from the less inviting contemplation of general causes. We turn ever his fascinating pages without wearying ; but without ever discovering the general progress or apparent tendency of human affairs. We look in vain for the profound reflec tions of %fa l chiavel on the permanent results of certain political combinations or experiments. He has led us through a mighty maze ;' but he has made no attempt to show it ' nct without a plan.' " Hume is commonly called a philosophical historian, and so he is ; but he has even less than Gibbon the power of unfolding the general causes which influence the progress of human events. He was not, properly speaking, a philosophic historian, but a philosopher writing history —=and these are very different things. The practical statesman will often make a better de lineator of the progress of human affairs than the phi losophic recluse ; for he is more was acquainted with their - secret spr i ngs ; it was not in the schools, but the forum or the palace, that Sallust, Tacitus, and Burke, acquired their deep insight into the human heart.. flume was gifted w ith a d m i ra b le sagacity, in politi a economy ; and it is th e goo d sense an d depth of his l views on th a t i mportant su bj ect, then f or th e first time _ _ brought to b ear on t h e anna l s o f man , th a t has f chie chiefly gained for him, an d w i t h j us ti ce, th e ehara6ter a La irable phi losophic histori an . T o thi s ma y be added t clearness and rhetorical po wers wi th which he he has stated the principal arguments for and against the great changes in the English institutions which it fell to his lot to recount —arguments far abler than wee© either used by, or occurred Hume is found to, the actors by whom they were bout • forit is seldom that a brought a , in the councils of men. With eq ual ability, too, he has given perm) • dical sketches of manners, cus tom s, and habits, mingled with valuable details of finance, com merce; and prices—all elements, and most important ones, in i the formation of philosop hical history." NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. In the "Talleyrand Papers," which are resumed this month, we find some biographical particulars re specting the notorious Madame Du I3arri, the last of the numerous mistresses of that profligate, imbecile Monarch, Louis XV. The career of this woman was a singularly chequered and eventful one. In her youth she led a life of " easy virtue" among the stews and low gambling-houses of Paris; when arrived at years of maturity she was introduced by an intriguing adventurer at C ourt, w h ere she was imme diately noticed by the King, and became the ruling favourite, who brought forward and displaced Minis ters, and made peace or war with the European Powers just as she pleased; and a few years after wards she was disgraced by the new Sovereign, Louis XVI., lost her political and social influence, and finally expired beneath the axe of the revolu• tionary guillotine. In the Papers before us Talleyrand is represented as saying of her—" She was a person of small, almost diminutive stature, extremely frail and delicate in feature, which saved her from being vulgar; but even from the first she always wore that peculiarly Jane look, which she owed to a youth of dissipation and a maturity of unbounded indulgence." In the lively essay entitled " Making Presents," the hospitable Christmas season is thus spoken of :—" It is no period for scant measures or for bare justice ; the cup must overflow. The spirit of the time is un grudging, hospitable, generous. It is not the meal of Enough, but the festival of Excess." Not a wearied apothecary's boy in the kingdom but can bear testi mony to the truth of this last remark. The "First Meet of the Season" is somewhat dull and common place, notwithstanding the straining after humour that is visiMe throughout it. We cannot speak much more favourably of Mrs. Trollope's continuation of the "Robertses on their Travels." In the report of the " Conversations with the late Mr. Beckford," a high but not unmerited compliment is paid to the ' "IngoldsbyLegends," of which the eccentric architect of Fonthill is said to have observed that they "were perfect in their way." " Lights and Shades in the Life of a Gentleman on Half-pay," are the confessions I of an obscure, penniless adventurer, with whom an Earl's proud and handsome daughter fell desperately in love, to the infinite chargrin of her father, who wreaked a terrible vengeance on the presumptuous suitor. "Reminiscences of Talma" impress us with a vivid idea of the powers of this consummate actor, of whom we are told that "his fury in Othello was terrific, ele c t r i ca l, th e rea l b e i ng, not the ideal image o f th e pass i on he depicted. The difference of years in hi s c h aracters was pourtraved, too, with surprising verisimilitude. The decripitude of age and the vivacity of youth were in him equally pic tures of unexceptionable excellence." As a specimen of the poetry of the New Monthly Magazine, we I am born in christal bower, Where the despot hath no power To . trail and turn the oozy fern, Or trample down the fair sea flower. I am born where human skill Cannot bend me to its will, None can delve about my root, And nurse me for my bloom and fruit; I am left to spread and grow In my rifted bed below, Till I break my slender hold, As the porpoise tunableth o'er me, And on I go —now high —now low— With the ocean world before me. I am nigh the stately ship Where she loiters in the calm, While the south, like love's own lip, Breathes a sweet and peaceful balm. Plashing oft with gentle grace, Round the hull I keep my place, While the sailor, through the day, Leaneth o'er her side, And idly watches me at play Upon the drowsy tide. She is staunch and she is stout, With chain and cable girt about, But I'll match my tendrils fine With her shrouds and halyard line. Now the red flash breaks, The thunder volley shakes, And billows boil with hissing coil, Like huge snow-cr es t e d sna k es. The mad winds roar, The rain sheets pour, And screaming loud mid wave and cloud The white gulls soar; Diving deep and tossing high, Round that same ship there am I, Till at last I mount the mast, In the tight reef hanging fast, While the fierce and plunging sea Boweth down the stout crosstree, Till the sharp and straining creek Echoeth the tempest shriek. Another peal ! another flash ! Top-gallant s s t art w i t h snapping crash. " Quick ! quick All hands !" one mighty sweep, And giant guns are in the deep. Hark the heavy axe beloiv, Whirls and-rings with - blow on blow, And I feel the timber quiver, Like a bulrush on a river. Still I twine about the pine, Till a wild and bursting cry Tells the fearful work is done; The ship leaps up, the mast is gone, And away with it go I. Now I dance and dash again, Headlon g through th e h ow li ng ma i n, While th lightning groweth stronger, And the thunder rattleth longer, Now I feel a hard hand clutch me, With a wildly snatching hold ; Who is he that dares to touch me, With a gripe so strong and bold ? 'Es the sailor, young and brave, Struggling o'er his yawning grave. Does he think that he can cling To the Seaweed's mazy string ? Does he dr eam w i t h frenzied hope, Of floating spar and saving rope ? He does, he does, but billows meet, And form his close-wrapp'd winding sheet, While I mingle with the wreath Of white-foam gurgling through his tenth, And twist and tangle in his locks, As the mountain waters lift him, And the frothy breakers drift him, On the gray and iron rocks. ROOD'S iIAGAZINE. This Number opens with an amusing tale entitled " Mrs. Peck's Pudding," which records the domestic distresses of a penniless widow, blessed with five small children, who, anxious to have a pudding of orthodox richness and dimensions for Christmas-day, sends her children to beg of their neighbours for the requisite materials. Of course their mission is unsuc cessful, and the poor widowis in despair, b u t, l uc kil y, a good Sa mar i tan ta k es pity ou tier delicate distress, and gives her, not indeed the pudding, but the money wherewith 't0...1454., ii`ppeara . r.ce at a very season able juncture. The folloWing pithy reflection, which occurs towards the close of the narrative, is very neatly expressed :—" In this motley world of ours, some people have their happiness cut thick and buttered on both sides; and some have it cut thin, with no butter at all." A " Lounge in the Lands" is a graphic description of that wild, desolate, unshel tered district in the neighbourhood of Bourdeaux. The editor's story of " Our Family " improves in interest as it proceeds. There are some skilful and earnest touches of character in the present chapters. The " Death-Seer "is a ghost. story admirably adapted for a Christmas fire-side, when the sofa is wheeled round to the fire, the flowing curtains are drawn, and the wi n d i s h ow li ng without. We sub join the fable of the " Lark and the Rook," chiefly for the useful moral it inculcates:— Once on a time—no matter where— A Lark took such a fancy to the air, That though he often gaz'd beneath, Watching the breezy down, or heath, Yet very, very seldom he was found To perch upon the ground. Hour after hour, Through ev'ry change of weather hard or soft, Through sun and shade, and wind and show'r, Still fluttering aloft ; In silence now, and now in song, 15p, up in cloudland all day long, On weary wing, yet with unceasing flight, Like to those Birds of Paradise, so rare, Fabled to live, and love, and feed in air, But never to alight. It caus'd, of course, much speculation Among the feather'd generation ; Who tried to guess th e riddle that was in it— The robin puzzled at it, and the wren, The swallows, cock and hen, The wagtail, and the linnet. The yellowhammer, and the finch as well— The sparrow ask'd the tit, who couldn't tell, The jay, the pie —but all were in the dark, Till out of patience with the common doubt, The Rook at last resolv'd to worm it out, And thus accosted the mysterious Lark : " Friend, prithee, tell rue why You keep this constant hovering so high, As if you had some castle in the air, That you are al wa y s po i s i ng t h ere, A speck against the sky— Neglectful of each old familiar feature Of Earth that nurs'd you in your callow state— You think you're only soaring at heaven's gate, Whereas you're flying in the face of Nature !" "Friend," said the Lark, with melancholy tone, And in each little eve a dewdrop shone, "No creature of my kind was ever fonder Of that dear spot of earth Which gave it birth— And I was nestled in the furrow yonder Sweet is the twinkle of the dewy heath, And sweet that thytny down I watch beneath, Saluted often with a loving sonnet ; But Men, vile Men, have spread so thick a scurf Of dirt and infamy about the Turf, I do not like to settle on it !" MORAL. Alas ! how Nobles of another race Appointed to the bright and lofty way, Too willingly descecd to haunt a place Polluted by the deeds of Birds of Prey ! DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The ablest article in the Number before us of this --by far the best Irish—periodical, is a critical one, and the subject is " Eugene Sue," whose novels are just now attracting the attention of continental readers in no ordinary degree. The Reviewer, on the whole, is highly favourable to Sue, and in support of his opinion quotes some extracts from his " Mysteries of Paris," which are certainly replete with pathos and vigour, though there is a little too much of exagge ration about them. We have been struck with this observation,which does credit to the Reviewer's sense of literary propriety :—" A parent who has the mis fortune to see a son abandon himself to vice and in famy, does not so deeply lament his having brought that wretched being into the world, as an i n t e ll ec t ua l creator ought to deplore the having originated one had seductive idea ; for when the vicious conversa tion of an individual corrupts at most those only with whom be comes in contact, vice, winged by genius, and multiplied by the Press, overspreads at once .a w . hole continent." The "Pretended Patriarchal Inscriptions of Arabia" is rather a heavy piece of antiquarianism, which will be caoiare to the general reader. The " English and the Irish Universities " is a dexterously reasoned essay, penned in a more temperate spirit than we should have expected. Our readers will, no doubt, be entertained with the fol lowing extraordinary anecdote, which we extract from " Major Lynch's Journal of a Residence among the Ghilzies in 1839 and 1840 :" 4. A most horrid murder was perpetrated to day close to this place, and which was discovered in the fol lowing singular way had ber.n calling on Captain Macau ou businvss, and when leaving the tent in which we had been seated, I observed a peasant, with blood on his clothes, standing a short distance from the door. I immediately, on seeing him, asked the sentry who he was, and what ha wanted. He replied that he had asked him several times without eliciting any answer. now asked him myself in Persian and Afikhanee, but beyond a stare awl moving some clay about with his hands, I could extract nothing like an answer from him. At last, getting impatient, I proceeded close-to where he sat, and spoke rather harshly to him, telling city men to take him away. Seeing ma thui annoyed, he was de termined I should not remain any longer i t z norant of the cause of his silence. So he raised up his head, and ex hibited to view a gash in his throat, which reached from ear to ear. A more horrid sight I had never witnessed. Recovering myself, however, I asked him to make known to me who had committed the act, when, by signs, he made it very evident that he was attacked by robbers on his way from Candahar ; that he, with another man, had; had their throats cut and buried by the way side" that he had worked his way out of the grave, but that his companion still remained there. The way in which he explained this was curious enough. With the assist ance of a little stick he made two small holes in the ground, and, touching himself, he put his hand into one of them, which he had no sooner done than he filled it with earth, leaving a little heap on the top to indicate that it was a grave. lie then pointed towards the spot where the murder was committed, and touching the other hole he filled it up also. After he had done this, he put his hand ,Pllit, but wiaLthe alter hand touched himself; and began to root the earth froin the other grave, indicating that his friend was still in the other grave, but that he had rooted himself out of his. The surgeon soon arrived, and found that, although the throat had been severed, the carotid artery was only slightly injured, and gave us some little hope that, with great care, he would be able to heal the wound, and thus enable us to discover the perpetrators of this horrid murder. I sent my men to look for the grave in which the other man was buried, thinking he also might have escaped ; but they shortly afterwards returned, stating that the graves were there as described, but one of them contained a man with his head almost cut off from his body, and that, finding the grave close to the surface, they had dug it deeper and left the body. There was a quantity of dry fruit scat tered. -about the'spot, which leads to the supposition that the sufferers were on their way to our camp with dried fruit when they were attacked. If the poor fellow now in our hospital had come to me with his head in his hand, I could not have been more surprised thanl was when he threw up his head and exhibited the awful gash in his throat." , aANCE IN REAL LIFE. (From the Aorthenz g ) The following singular case came before the Castle bar Board of Poor-law Guardians a few days since : An old man applied for admission to the workhouse, whose appearance and manner, and style of speaking, denoted evidently that he had belonged to, or moved in, the ranks of respectability, before adverse circum stances had reduced him to his present distress. The Earl of Lucan—What is your name ? Applicant—My name, my Lord, is Michael Fitz gerald. I was born in the vicinity of this town, in the village of Minolta. I have moved through every phase of fortune; and, from having been once the possessor of wealth and opulence, I have come, by a sad vicissitude, brought on, indeed, not by my own conduct, but by the misconduct of others, down to the position which I at present occupy. The Earl of Lucan—lndeed, how was that ? Applicant—The incidents of my life are extraor dinary, my Lord, yet may be briefly told. In my youthful days, being desirous to travel and push my fortune in a foreign land, I left Ireland for the island of Madeira, bringing with me a cargo of such goods as I thought would be disposable, on remunerative terms. My wishes and expectations were not then disappointed. Change of scene and the new climate invigorated my sprits, and the enterprise in which I had embarked proved most profitable. Resolving to settle permanently in Madeira, I employed a ll my available capit a l i n pursuing the trade which I had found so beneficial; and only a few years had elapsed, until the profits of my engagements so accumulated, as to leave me at length in possession of an immense fortune. The Governor of the island, whose acquaint • ante I had the opportunity of making, advised me to turn my capital and ' `:•se is the cultivation of land, whereby agrieultths, case, to import from Americaprovisions requisite to support the planters on the island. Well, my. Lord, I assented to his proposal, but took the precau tion of making him enter into an agreement with me to indemnify me for any expense or casualties I should incur, by the grant of 75,000/. When the agreement was thus closed, I converted all the merchandise then in my warehouses into cash, as soon as a cheap and rapid sale permitted; and with ample funds I pro ceeded first to Ireland, and afterwards to England, to purchase all sorts of plants and seeds, and implements of husbandry. With a large cargo of these I returned to Madeira, and soon after began the culture of the fields, to a great extent, according to the terms of the Governor's treaty. Nothing could have gone on more auspiciously than our first agricultural essay ; and I ani now enabled to boast that I was the first man who introduced into that island the cultivation of potatoes. But, my Lord, to be brief—the Governor was with drawn from the island, through the influence and intrigues of those persons who were deriving a profit• able trade from the importation of provisions, and who were, consequently, averse to the proceedings I was engaged in. The result was, that I was cons pelled to desist, after having all my own funds ex pended in the manner related, and without any further prospect of indemnification than the fulfilment of the Governor's agreement. To see myself justified, I went to Portugal. The Governor, who made the agreement with me, laid my claim before the King, and his Majesty was pleased to approve of it, and to direct that my claims should be liquidated along with those of other British claimants. Some delay having taken place in my getting the compensation to which I was entitl e d, an d w hi ch was thus approved of, I went to Mr. Ward (who was then Chargé d'Affaires in Portugal), requiring of him to see me justified. Mr. Ward gave me only promises of compliance. It was publicly stated, some time ago, that a large remittance of money had been sent over by the King of Portugal, fur the purpose of compensating the British claimants. I wrote fre quently on the subject of my claim to the Duke of Wellington, but at length I received a note from his Grace, stating, that of the many letters of mine to which I had in my last communication referred, he had received not a single letter; thus, it was apparent, that the conductors of the Foreign-office are the greatest robbers that ever lived. I am not aware that the suppression of my letters took plaee in conse quence of the Post-office espionage of Sir James Graham ; but this much there is reason to suppose, that in the money remitted from Portugal, the Duke of Wellington made the first great gap—(Great laughter)—by applying an enormous portion of it to himself. I do not think that Sir Robert Peel would act thus ; he seems to be a well-meaning, honest man.—(Renewed laughter.) My principal object in coming here, at present, is to get the oppor tunity of making the injustice to which I have been subjected, public and notorious—so that it may, at length, reach the ears of the authorities, and induce them to grant me redress. If the maxim be true, that the people are best governed where the principle pre vails that an injury done to the meanest subject is an injury to the whole community, surely it applies to my case in an especial manner, and the public should insist, and the Government should determine, that the wrongs to which I have been so long subjected should, at length, give way to impartial justice, and to the payment to me of those moneys which were remitted from Portugal for my indemnification, according to my claim, as acknowledged by the King. The Earl of LUCAN-With reference to your claims, the gentlemen of the press, who are now present, may assist you Imre than we can ; the pro vince of the Board of Guardians is merely to consider the propriety of your admission. The claimant withdrew. Mr. GEORGE ORMSBY is a fine old fellow, and however rich he may have been formerly, he seems poor now. I think we ought to comply with his application.—Admitted.

By the last Overland Mail we have received intelli gence from Hong-Kong, to the Ist of August. The Vixen, steam-frigate, arrived there on the 25th of .lu:y, with orders for the Minden's paying off. Having had the offer, forty-two of the crew volunteered to remain in the different ships of the squadron under Sir Thomas Cochrane. Captain Quin, First Lieutenant Mellersh, and Mr. Cook, Paymaster and Purser, of the Minden, aoe left to pay off the ship, and will return to England in a merchantman ; the other Lieutenants, Dorville, Lowe, and Hancock, are to come home in the Wolverine awl Harlequin, The Spiteful, steam-frigate, is ordered to Bombay- to repair, having been much damaged ; she takes a million and a half of dollars to Singapore, to bb sent to England in the Harlequin ; another million ut.; to be sent home by the Pelican. The Fox, 44, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., was expected at Hong • Kong. Lieutenant Dallas, of the 98th Regiment, had (lied of fever ; this regiment had lost 210 men, and tine 4th Native Infantry, 217. Sickness was rery prevalent, and deaths numerous ; the 98th had 140 sick at Chick chew, at the back of Hong-Kong. The Minden remains in charge of a master, one master's assistant, the hos pital staff, and twenty-six men ; the chaplain, the Rev. Josiah Thompson, also remains. A Court of Inquiry has been held on two midshipmen of the Castor, the Hem, Mr. Erskine and Mr. Gray, for contempt and disobe dience of orders.

DAVIS'S STRAITS WHALE FISHERY.-- Mt. Coltish has furnished the following pat ticulars respecting the protracted fishery of the present season, received by the Abram, of Hull, who left the ice on the sth of Octo bar, and arrived at Stromness on the 9th inst. Those marked (*) have arrived ships—*Abram 2 fish, 30 tuns ; *Bon Accord, 21 fish, 145 tuns ; Prince of Wales, 0 ; Sarah and Elizabeth, I ; Truelove, 5. New castle—Lady Jane, 4 ; Lord Gambier, 5.

Of the 23 ships which went to the fishery, 5 have returned, and the other 18 we hope will shortly return with their crews to enjoy the fruit of their toils.-11 eu•eastle Advertiser. The commercial part of the public has often been made to suffer by the freedom with which noblemen and gentlemen have sometimes permitted their names to be used by speculators engaged in th e b us i ness of " getting up" a company. A judment delivered by Lord Denman on the last day of the term that has just concluded, de serves to be made extensively known as a warning to those individuals of station and character who have heed h•ssly afforded facilities for the carrying out of dishonest purposes. Several months ago, the attention of the public was directed, through the police reports, to a scheme of emigration, with which the name of a noble Duke had ban connected, as president. Ilis Grace, on finding that the concern alluded to was not quite so worthy of, his patronage as he had been led to believe, very naturally sought to repudiate all connexion with it; but he was soon made to feel the inconvenience of having gone so far as to give it his nominal sanction, for actions were brought against him by certain creditors of the company alluded to. The su'ts in question wire instituted in different Courts, one having been tried in the Common Pleas, and another in the Queen's Beach, and certain points affecting the consideration of the Duke's liability having been left to the jury in each case, a verdict was given against him in one instance, while in the other, from seine difference in the details, the result was in his Grace's favour. Now there can be no doubt that the noble defendant was not, in either of these cases, the party requiring the goads that had been supplied, but in one of the two instances he was found by a jury to be the individual on whose implied responsibility credit had been given. An attempt was subsequently made on behalf of the Duke to obtain a rule and a new trial, but the Court of Queen's Bench decided that the question of liability had been properly left to the jury. The verdict consequently stands good, and will, we trust, furnish a lesson to others who might be liable to fall into the error of which the defendant alluded to has become the victim. Swindlers would find : great diffi culty in carrying out their plans if respectable persona were not sometimes ready inadvertently-to aid them.— Herald. THE LATE FORGERY UPON THE BANK Or ENG LAND.—On Friday from an early hour many persona connected with the Bank of England and other commer cial firms were in attendance at the Euston•square sta ti,m of the London and Birmingham Railway, in the ex pectation of obtaining a sight of Burgess, who had been captured by John Forrester in America, and who, it was understood, would be brought up by one of the trains from Liverpool, he and the active officer in charge of him having, as it was imagined, on the previous day arrived at that port by the Hibernia. Expectation was at the utmost pitch for many hours, and after several trains had arrived in the course of th• day without bringing the persons expected, a great number of those ho had assembled quitted the station, thinking that the rumour with regard to the arrival of the said persons in this country had no foundation in fact. Forrester and his prisoner, however, arrived by the train at half-past tan o'clock. MR. MACREADY.—We regret exceedingly to state that this eminent actor has met with an accident which F fo a r ris th in e ordrth:sstpipreervienntteendd com mencement of the English performances there, which li t i l n e=s e ary i Neggn r s wcre to commence in that capital on Monday next, the 2d proximo.
