Sir Mums is reviving that generous enthusiasm which, kindled by similar labours on the part of SOUTHEY, has secured to:the naval service of the kingdom many hundreds of gallant and enthusiastic sailors, whose youthful imitation of our indomitable captain of the seas gave an irresistible direction to their future des tiny. But, whatever less elaborate care in the collection, extent, and digestion of authentic materials, on the part of the late Laureate, had left imperfectly developed, has been admirably supplied by the greater industry and judgment of the more recent historian: Ills views of the principles that governed NELSON'S conduct in some of the most memo rable passages of his eventful life are not obscured by the same occasional prepossessions or prejudices of a purely conventional character which some. tithes disfigure the opinions advanced by SOUTHEY, and which all the matchless charms of his style of composition cannot compensate for. But we do not intend to enter in this place into any formal or controversial parallel between the two historians, nor to enlarge, even, on the successful ex planations, as we are clearly of opinion they must be consi dered, which Sir HARRIS has now supplied on the nature of the earlier period of Lord NELSON'S connexion with Lady flAuturow, and in exculpation of the hero. from that ungenerous and vindictive instrumentality in the terrible fate of Prince CannAcclotr, which has been so confidently but so unwarrantably attributed to the British Admiral. Our present purpose is to offer the humble tribute of our praise and congratulation to Sir HARRIS NI COLAS, for having, by his very opportune labours, placed the greatest naval chief who ever astonished mankind by his va lour and his prowess, his disinterestedness and his success, his genius and his fortune, in a right position before the eyes, as it were, of the present generation and of posterity. Judging of others by ourselves, we are convinced that the same thrilling emotions of admiration, respect, gratitude, and en thusiasm will animate every British bosom for the memory of this: immortal leader with which the perusal of these records of his inmost thoughts, of his heart's own elequence, as well as of the great acts of his magnanimous intrepidity, have inspired our own. The study of the themes we allude to is a- pleasure of the very highest order, modified only by the bitter indignation with which we trace the shameful story of the wrongs he was incessantly experiencing at the hands of superior authorities, through the base influences of proles sional envy, and the contemptible niggardliness of political partizanship ; and the peculiar:ty in his career, whilst living, seems to attach to the honours paid to his memory after death. To sum up the complexion and amount of these in one fact, we need scarcely remind the public that the column reared to his memory, in Triafalgarseirze,thsetvilile,%7omfahiniss unfinished, still hoarded up, n part, compatriots. On several former occasions we have animadverted from time to time on the contemptible conduct of the Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL with regard to this national monument. We exhibited the Premier gravely upholding the report, of one of those Committees (of taste, the fine arts, &c.) wh ose decisions and recommendations are generally the subjects of merriment or compassion to all the refined capitals of Europe. We adverted to Sir ROBERT'S concurrence in the announcement to the House of Commons that it had been judiciously determined to reduc e th e architect ' s original design for a Corinthian column of a given dimension of shaft, &c., (1.) because in case of any accident to it, it might cause great destruc'ion of life and property in so densely crowded a thoroughfare; (2.) because those original proportions would throw into absolute insignificance the low facade of the so-called " Natio p., nal Gallery" (a monst ros i ty due to the d es i gns o f Mr.WlLics and the purblind patronage of Mr. SP RINGI R ICE ). The "National Gallery ," it is edifice;evi ndesnt, the Premier, at th e ti me , cons id ere d a ver y fine for fear of destroying its " effect," the column was actually redncedn(by some 13 feet or more, if we rightly remember) in height, and t 1 impaired, in order to meet the views of Boards of Taste and Boards of Woods and Forests, Then name Lord Lutcotx with his petty quibblings and evasions, as manifested in his correspondence with the NErsorr Column Committee ; his undecided and wavering intimations at of consent to " allow" a Traf a l gar f estival to be celebr inauguration of the column, and the ludicrously offenaive apprehenaious which he had the bad taste—and, we will add, the presumption—to intimate of the danger of disturbances from the jollity of a re-union of the few surviving veteran heroes of the mighty victory of Trafalgar. We have over and over again adverted to the Wretched puerilities, the disgraceful make-shifts, the asphalte-substitutes with which the same utterly in competent management (participated in, we presume, be. tween the two wooden jurisdictions, the Board of Works and the Board of Woods and Forests) have disfigured, according to the tardy admission of the Premier himself, " the noblest site offered by any capital in Europe." But the deformities of Trafalgar-square exhibit their culminating enormity in the still unfinished monument to the ill-requited but illus trious saviour of his country, the immortal NEt.soN—to that sublime genius, and that undaunted spirit, which pur sued the naval power of the most victorious enemy we had ever coped with, over every sea, to every shore of the habit able world in which the standard of France was successively unfurled, in flight or in aggression, and broke and triumphed over all its might and all its valiant resistance; —to him whose crowning victory rescued this mighty kingdom from becoming a mere province of that universal empire, which, but for this over throw of the combined fleets of France and Spain, the stupendous ambition of NAPOLEON would have achieved and established. But these are not times when either the aspect of our foreign relations, er the relative power and state of preparation in which foreign powers are maintaining their forces—especially their maritime service—will tolerate any longer any indig nity to the memory of that great man, whose renowned name alone wilryet ael as a spirit-stirring spell, a trumpet tongued inspiration to the navy of Great Britain, under all circuntsturtz;es and in every exigency. The common sailors will rash into action, whenever the fatal necessity for action mall arrive, with the indelible name of "Nelson " engraven on their memory, as the undaunted a nd affectionate com mander ,who led their fathers and their brothers into every engagement with the assured confidence of victory, and the irresistible determination to distinguish themselves. The young officer and the veteran commander will be animated by the same impulses, heightened by reminiscences of the tena cious :generosity with which this illustrious Chieftain—far from coldly discouraging the just demands of his brothers in arms for distinctions in proportion to his own rewards— warmly, importunately, fervently pressed, even to his own prejudice and the incurring official rebuke, on the reluctant attention of Lords of the Admiralty, Prime Ministers, and even the SOVEREIGN, the ample rewards and honours due to those whom his heroic affection always designated as forming, with himself, " a band of brothers." Let this signal reflection on the national gratitude, on its sense of true glory, its sense even of its own political interests, be instantly effaced, we say, by the completion of the "Nelson" memorial. And since Chan cellors of the Exchequer, And First Lords and First Commis sioners seem inaccessible to anything like kindred emotions of sympathy in that feeling which first prompted, among private or professional "individuals," its erection, let all the great communities of the kingdom repair the evil by furnishing the supplies vainly demanded of the Government. The spirited little town of Greenwich, dignified as the locality of the noblest home and retirement which public gratitude has yet provided in this country for our decayed sailors, has set an admirable example, that may be instantly and efficiently followed by every other town in Great Britain. It has originated a penny subscription among its 14,000 in habitants. A penny subscription among the millions of our large marts of manufacturing, and even agricultural and com mercial industry, would realise ample funds for the comple tion of this monument and the erection of another, which, in point of gi andeur, extent, utility, and beauty, might put to shame all that the Legislature has yet decreed er the Execu tive erected, to do honour to the greatest hero of all naval story ! The vast extent of the British possessions in India, their wealth, population, and growing power, as well as their supply of native productions to this country, and the con sumption of articles of British manufacture, must place them in the highest rank among all our foreign possessions. Indeed, England, so famed for her system of colonisation, and so successful, especially during the last two cen turies, in establishing her sons in almost every clime of the habitable globe, can boast of nothing at all to be compared with her dominion in India. It is altogether an anomaly in every point of view. Such a cluster of great states—many of them large enough for kingdoms --attaching themselves to a foreign power, and remaining faithful tribu taries, almost without compulsion or restraint ; more anxious for admission within the English pale than to remain subject to their native chiefs; requiring but a handful of European troops, rather as models itor imitation than as guardians of public order or instruments of subjection, altogether exhibit a picture of Government hitherto unknown in the his tory of the human race. The Romans extended their conquests only by force of arms ; the Greeks were more civilised, planted colonies, and made progress rather by the influence of arts and sciences and their superior skill in civil policy, than by their warlike habits, and in this respect formed a precedent for the progress of British power in India ; but the extent of their colonial possessions was nothing' compared with the vast expanse where the English language is spoken, English habits in troduced, and bonds of friendship established which hold out fair prospects of long and uninterrupted duration. A speedy and secure communication, therefore, be tween these countries and the parent state, is of the very first importance, and ought to occupy the serious attention of the Government. Even within a few years, entirely by means of steam, a vast change in that respect has been effected. Formerly the time required for a voyage to India was between three and four months--now it is accomplished in one month, and by and by we shall have monthly, or weekly, if necessary, intelligence from Bombay in about the time which travellers in weeks of yore required to pass from London to Edinburgh. Mr. WAGUORN, who has already done wonders, engages, to complete the journey at an average of three weeks from Bombay to London, and, we have no doubt, when such great interests are at stake, he will receive the utmost support both from the East India Company and her MAJESTY'S Ministers. Speedy intelli gence from that quarter must be obtained. We have lately acquired a large territory to the north of Bombay. A new source of trade and commerce has been opened up with the inhabitants on the banks of the Indus ; the Pun jaub itself is a kingdom now of primary influence in our operations in the north, and more particularly in our relations with the Affgbans and Persians. An Anglo-Indian army of fifty thousand men is about to assemble on its fron tier, for purposes which will require not only all the calm reflection and ability of Sir IL HARDIKGE, but the early and positive instructions of the Home Government. Rapid communication with that army becomes absolutely indis pensable, and a few thousands of pounds wisely expended in furthering such an object may save as many millions. To be niggardly in such an undertaking is not only mean, it is impolitic and dangerous, and neither Parliament nor the country would grudge any expense to render quick andpunc tusj the intercourse with such distant countries, and with coins tries, too, in which not only the India Company, merchants and traders, but every inhabitant of the United Kingdom, have i more er less interest. The route taken by Mr. WAGItoRN with the last overland mail has long appeared to u.s prefer able lations with that country, which, we hope, will long remain uninterrupted, are not, it must be admitted, so little liable to be disturbed, as those with Germany, where there is much less jealousy of England, and where the people are more commercial and less warlike than their excitable neighboure in the west. The Governments, too, as will be seen from Mr.. WAG HORN'S letter, are fully disposed to render every facility, and even break through their ancient laws a lad cue toms (a vast concession for an Austrian Cab met), in order to establish a line for the Indian mail, through their States. The following extract , confirms the ass( srtion and describes one of the many wonders of the day : —"I may mention," says he, "an extraordinary instance of Austrian alacrity and attention. His Excellency the G svernor of Trieste, Count STADION, Chevalier DE BRUCK, t . ae head of the Austrian Lloyd's Company, and all the elite of the met. , chants, &c„ of Trieste, were waiting for me s et Dwino, though at the hour of half-past twelve at night.; and one of the darkest I ever experienced ; we were guides 1 only to Dwino by the rockets sent up by them. My pal sport was given by order of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, and cote stersigned at Vienna by the representatives of Belgium, Prussia, Baden and Bavaria, countries through which I passed ; indeed' I was not asked a question throughout the journey.'; The French journals, in order to create a counter balance to this, are urging the Government to I 'eaten the completion of the Lyons and Avignon lines, bees use, when these are finished, the passage will be made in muck t less time than through Germany. But the German, as w( 11 as the Italian States under the dominion of Austria, as .3 also ac tively engaged in forming railways; that h . ( s In Ostend to the Rhine has long been completed, so is one fro si i Bruschel to Manheim, and it is not too much to anticipate, in these days of improvement and change, that t In ire will, in a short time, be a continued railway route from fbe English Channel to the Adriatic. Even in the present a tate of the roads, the journey was performed with most ex i xaordinary speed, when it is known that on the voyage fro a a Alexan dria to Trieste the steamer experienced a tempest which caused her to be a day and a half h li t Ter than usual. With the plans now in progress fur sh( n u fling the time occupied in the journey between Bombay end Suez, no doubt can remain that the whole journey ma j • be accom plished in twenty-one days, and, with the aid o t": railroads, in a fortnight. News thus could be brought fine a Wuhan, on to t ß h o e m b b o a r y d e i r n s of ten the iP t u w n e j l a y u e b, by steamers dove i the Indus from Ferozepore to London made littleiynN d more et' 111 11 an e a i urn month. e - --, as _ _ _ _......-. ~........,__ Madrid journals of the 29th October have sn received. The Gazette of that date contains a royal bP -di dunce b which two Spanish officers, SANDOVAL and Isl4 °l DEnaDA, who, y had been serving with the French army in Africa, are directed to join the R uss i an troops in the Cau us, and re port upon their operations: The arrest of Coll nel Solite, commanding the Regiment S an F ernando, in the public streets, by orders of NARVALZ, had given rise i a ) some talk in the metropolis. The story is, that the Comm a der of the Forces had intimated his intention to review the , e giraelltlM the 28th, but not arriving at the time appointed, the colonel had left, concluding that the inspection would not take place. It appears that the priest who had been order V d to quit Madrid in twenty-four burr, Wad tha confessor of Don , filE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAV MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1845. FRANCISCO DE PAULA, but the cause for this step has not yet transpired. Some public business was done en the Bourse on the 29th. The Three per Cents. were not quoted. The Five per Cents. were done at 221 cash, and the Debt without Interest, at 7/, cash. Several of the Paris journals are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Syria, and the serious misunderstanding which has taken place between Baron DE BOURQUENEY, the French Ambassador at Constantinople, and the Ottoman Porte, rela tive to the murder of a French Missionary in the Lebanon. Some English correspondents from that quarter had stated, that the French Consul at Beyrout had demanded that the person chiefly implicated in the death of the priest should be put to death without trial—a demand not at all likely to be made by the representative of a Constitutional Government. The account given in the Constitutionnel is very different— we are inclined to think more near the truth. "We shall give," says that paper, " the following extract of a letter from Father FRANCOIS DE PLOUGHE, prefect of the Cupucins of Syria, written on the 10th of last June, in which are de • tails of the death of Father CHARLES DE Loeir,rre. His character is a sufficient guarantee for the truth of the recitals this letter contains A chief, named HAMMED ABER MACHAT, came with his followers and attacked our convent, in which was Father CHARLES DE LORETTE. At the sight of these barbarians the missionary fled, but was pursued, overtaken, and cut down by the sabre with des perate wounds on the head and shoulders, and being finished with musket shots, and his body torn open and burnt after taking out the entrails.' Our agent at Beyrout demanded of the Turkish authorities—lst, that the chief author of this act of barbarity should be brought to trial, and, secondly, that the tribunal called upon to try him should present guarantees for the justice of its judgments, which are not to be ordinarily found in the Turkish magistracy. The issue of this affair has proved that our Consul has had good reason for not relying upon the impartiality of the judges of Beyrout. The details contained in the letter of Father FRANCOIS DE PLOUGHE above cited show that the murder of Father CHARLES was not an accident of war, that the sufferer was a French subject, and therefore that our Consul had an incontestible right to interfere in the process against his murderer." The Presse gives nearly the same account., and according to that paper, no arrangement had been come to, and the state of affairs in the Lebanon was daily growing worse, chiefly owing to the despotic conduct of the Turkish PACHA, and his partiality to the Druses :—" The mission of CHEKIB EFFENDI, which was represented as one alto gether of conciliation, cannot fail to bring forth new disturb ances. It is now averred that the Ottoman Plenipotentiary has taken under his protection the man whom public rumour had designated as the.murderer of Father CHARLES, and that he does not intend granting any of the indemnities claimed by France for the tw• convents burnt down during the civil war. But that is not all. We learn that, at the date of the 11th, CHEKIB EFFENDI was preparing to attack the Libanus, in order to effect the disarming cf the moun taineers. The foreigners established in the mountain, sum moned by him to quit it, refused to comply with this injunction if their property was not guaranteed. This de mand, supported by the Consul, was at first favourably re ceived by CHEKIB EFFENDI, but soon after he objected that the guarantees ought to be given by the Porte, and not by him. The Europeans then declared that they would remain in the mountain ; that CHEKIB EFFENDI was free to act as seemed fit to him, but that they reserved to themselves the right of making good their rights. Such was the state of matters when_the last account left." The following appears in the Constitutionne; relative to the precarious position of French residents in Mexico : " The French naval station in the Gulph of Mexico has (says the Constitutionnel) at this time only two twenty-gun ships, La Perouse and Le Mercure—a force far from sufficient to command respect. The number of French in Mexico, according to a census taken in 1835, exceeds 12,000 persons, established chiefly in the towns of Mexico, Vera Cruz, Xalapa, Puebla, Acapulco, Orizaba, Santa Fe, Zacatecas, Campeachy, Tabasco, and Tam pico. M. de Ciprey, on quitting Mexico, left his fellow-coun trymen under the protection of the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, who has at his disposal only a Spanish sloop of war. With the well known character of the Mexicans, the situation of the French may be well conceived to be precarious, in a country whose in. habitants bear an inveterate hatred to foreigners, although they are the sources of all its commerce and industry." At the opening of the Paris Courts of Law for the session on Monday, M. Durue the Procureur-General, made a long speech on the history of the rise and progress of the common law of France. It contained nothing political, and was interesting chiefly to the lawyers. In the Journal des Deliats there is a well digested article on the trade of France with foreign countries, from which we give these brief ex tracts : " Let us remark, in the first place, that our exchanges with the north of Europe amounts to 820,000,000, whilst those in the south. are only 710,000,000. The superiority, which was for merly in favour of the Mediterranean, is now passed to the North Seas and the Baltic, and this has arisen from the progress which Germany has made in commercial and manufacturing enterprises. Our trade with Belgium has increased from 156 millions to 179 millions, and the difference has 'been entirely in the purchases which we make in that country. " With England our situation with regard to the exchange of manufactured products is more favourable. Out of 145 millions of merchandise which she sells us, 54 are manufactured articles, of which 12i are consumed here ; whilst, out of 144 millions of our products with which we supply her, 721 f millions are articles of our own manufacturing. What merits particular notice is certain weakness in our affairs with the Italian peninsula, with Turkey ant Greece: - From 76 millions our exchanges with the whole of the Mediterranean have fallen to 65. In 1844 our trade with the United States, the most important of our commercial allies next t. England, amounted to 03 minions; in Africa (not Including Algeria) our relations make sure but slow progress, and we already begin to reap the fruit of that foresight of which the Government gave proofs In multiplying and strengthening our factories on the coast of Africa between the Seregembic and the Bay of Gabon. " To sum up, the foreign trade of France, a moment slackened in 1842, resumed its elasticity in:1843, to which the operations of .1844 have given a still livelier impulse. Increase appears through out every branch; and the progress of neighbouring countries in manufactures has not by any means injured our exportation. This is a result which responds in .the most satisfactory manner to our internal activity, and prepares us in a worthy manner for the open ing of the legislative session of 1846." The Money and Share Market was very heavy on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday, owing chiefly, it was said, t) a scarcity of money, as well as some unfavourable advices from London.

The total number was 948, exceeding that of last week by 174. The increase has taken place chiefly in contagious diseases, and those of the lungs, and other organs of respiration. The deaths from measles on the previous week were 52, average 31, while during the last week they amounted to 87. Those 'caused by bronchiti s , pneumonia, and consumpti on , had also in creased considerably. The violent deaths were 32, of which 12 were from fractures and contusions, 4 from drowning, 7 from hanging, 6 from burns, and the rest from wounds and poison. Of these 6 were suicides. BROMSGROVE--Risz OF WAGES.--It gives us much pleasure to state that the wages of the operatives at the ex tensive works at Stoke Prisr were raised last week 10 per cent. The men's wages were reduced by that amount more than two years ago, to meet the difficulties of the times, and it is creditable to the proprietors to find them conceding this increase when better times had put it within their p ower . — Worcestershire Chronicle. CELERY FOR DUCKS.--A writer in the Buffalo National Pilot says :—" The common duck of the poultry.yard, if fed (while fattening) copiously upon the tops of the celery pleat, will attain a juciness and a flavour that must call forth unqualified approbation from every epicure. It is the wild celery plant that gives peculiarity of enchantment to the canvas back, and the celery top will add a charm to the duck of the yard that cannot be eonceived. You cannot make a tame bird equal one with the wild flavour of freedom and foreign travel, but still you can refine on poultry." Earl De Grey has sold his valuable estate of Bracewell, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, together with the advewson, comprising from 1,200 to 1,300 acres, to Robert Hop. wood, jun., Esq., of Blackburn. Land for gardens has lately been offered to the public near Peterborough, at 101. per acre per annum.

The Cotton market at Liverpool continued dull yesterday, and a large supply was offered. Shares were much depressed, and lower again. It cannot be urged too strongly that the Provisional Committees or the Managing Directors of all Companies formed for the purpose of carrying out additional lines of railway, should instantly call meetings, and lay before the Scripholders a full statement of the receipts and expenditure up to the present moment, and the future anticipated pay ments that may be required in the prosecution of the various Bills before Parliament. In so far we are ready to go with the Times, and trust that the course adopted by a few Committees, may be very generally adopted. We cannot, however, consent to the arguments of our powerful Contemporary, that the payment into the hands of the Ac count-General will create such a scarcity of money as to de range very greatly commercial operations, or to interfere, to a " panic point," with the state of the currencey. There is infinitely more in a deficient yield of the crops to account fur the present heavy state of the Funds, and rise in the value of money, than in warnings of the Times, which now so complaisantly assumes to have first put a veto to the formation of any new plans for railways, and to have checked bubble speculations. The last principal failure in the Stock Exchange has thrown a gloom over the market, and which is likely to have an influence for some days to come, although the party will pay everybody, and have a large surplus. It is a very important fact that ought to be borne in mind, that the country markets for shares have maintained themselves pretty well. A new Company, the Grand Junction, Great Western, and South-Western Railway Junction, has appeared in the market, the shares commanding a slight premium. Pro ceeding through Bicester to Slough, it completes the shortest route from London to Birmingham, Liverpool, and Man• ch ester. Accounts of August 27th, from the Cape of Good Hope, describe the colony as progressing well, and the result of the wool sales here excited much satisfaction. The farmers, however, complain that Sir Peregrine Maitland's views have not been carried out, and that cattle thefts were becoming as frequent as ever, though previously abating. Natal was to have a lieutenant-governor, judge, recorder, and more troops. A higher rate of duty had been imposed on French Brandy and other spirits imported into the Cape, and not the growth of England and her colonies, Is. being the new impost. The Funds have been very susceptible again to-day. Con sols have alternated from 96 1 , to 95% for Money, and from 96 to 95 1 / for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 291. to 25. e. prem. Bank Stock is only worth 203 to 204%. New 3 1 4 per Cents have been 96% to 97 1 / x . The Foreign Investments have been steady, though very inactive. Spanish Five per Cents have realised 27%%; Mexican 3I 3 A ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 95 to 96 ex-dividend; and Dutch Two •and-a-Hall per Cents. 58% to 59. The Share Market is still depressed, with the exception of Staines and Richmond, which are creeping up a little. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

A meeting of Proprietors of this Company, called by a party who objected to the agreement entered into by the South-Western and Great Western Companies, with regard to certain projected schemes and extension lines, was an nounced to take place yesterday, at one o'clock, at the London Tavern. At the hour named, in addition to the reporters, there were about half a dozen persons present. The number gradually increased up to two o'clock, when the chair was taken by Mr. Gilbert, there being then about a dozen present. The CHAIRMAN opened the business by stating that he had taken the liberty of calling the present meeting together On account of the Great Western Company having, by their re cent determination, agreed to support lines of railway, in violation of the agreement formerly entered into between them and the South-Western Company. The recent notices given by the former Company to support new schemes, in op position to previous pledges, rendered some step necessary to be taken by the Proprietors ; hence he had called the pre sent meeting. The Hon. Gentleman then moved the adop tion of a memorial to the Directors of the South-Western Company, calling on them to annul the agreement entered into between the two Companies in January last. After some discussion the memorial was moved, but, after waiting half an hour without a seconder being found, the meeting broke up. DEATH OF THE DOWAGER BARONESS NAIRNE.— We have to record the demise of Caroline Baroness Nairn., who expired on llonday, the 27th ult., at her seat in Perthshire, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. The deceased Baroness was third daughter of Mr. Lawrence Oliphant, and married in June, 1806, William, fifth Lord Nairne, by whom her Ladyship bad an only son, William, the sixth Lord Nairne, on whose death, in 1837, the barony devolved on Margaret, Countess Flahault, married to his Nxcellency. Count Flahault, French Ambassador at the Court of Austria. ARUNDEL CASTLE.—The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk are receiving a select circle, this week, at the Castle: Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Nicholas Esterhasy, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lady Clementine Villiers, arrived on a visit to the Noble Duke cad puchese on Tueediy, cma alettou. LONDON AND. ICRtiy DON RA IL- WAY COM • •A NY PROPOSED AMALGAMATION WITH THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON. A meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of this Com pany was held yesterday, at the London-bridge station, for the purpose of the Directors submitting, in the form of a resolu tion'amalgamatethe terms on whi c h th ey propose d to amalgamate with the London and Brighton Company WILKINSON, Esq., having taken the chair, proceeded to state briefly the substance of the resolution, which he then read, and which will be found in our advertising columns. When he bad concluded his address to the meeting, several questions were put to him relative to the details of the plan, all of which he said h e th oug h t it wou ld b e more pru dent to leave for the present in the hands of the Direc tors. In answer to another series of questions which were put in reference to the constituit,n of the future Board of Directors of the united companies, and the mode of disposing of the existing stall' of officers, he said, in answer to the first of these questions, that he conceived that the present mode of management in all railway companies was a mere fiction. He called attention to the manner in which all the breweries, banks, and other great com merc i a l es t a bli s h ments were condUcted: that was, by a regular number of partners, who made it their business to apply themselves daily and unceasingly to the affairs of their concerns, without which it would be impos sible for them to go on; and he contended that until railway companies were placed under the direcction and manage ment of a number of persons who would be equally re sponsible and interested, they could not go on satisfactorily either to themselves, the proprietors, or the public. He had deemed it necessary to make these few observations on this point as it was probable that this would be the last meeting of this Company over which he should preside. In respect to the officers, he had not the least doubt but that they would be provided for, for it was not to be supposed that faithful servants would be summarily dis missed. In answer to another question, he said the time for amalgamation had not yet been definitively fixed, but he supposed it would take place either in January or July next. The question was then put, and the meeting expressed their unanimous approbation of the terms of the amal gamation. - The CHAIRMAN next laid before the meeting a proposi tion for forming a steam-packet company in connexion with the Brighton Railway Company, in order to compete for the traffic coming from the opposite coast. He also congratu lated the Company upon the fact, that the Croydon Company were the first to establish the atmospheric principle; and he had not the least doubt upon his mind but that in a few years the atmospheric railway system would effect as great a revolution in railways as steam had done in the former modes of travelling, because the atmospheric plan would be found to be safer, cheaper, and more r a pid. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE. ..... 71,[ Mr. ADAMS thought that 10,0001. was a great deal too little as a forfeiture in case of non-compliance of the con tract on the part of the purchasers. He would have had the sale completed at once. Here you must go t 9 Parliament first, and not only for power to sell, but, as he understood, for power to enlarge the bridge for the passing of hor.-es and steam carriages. [The Chairman—That is not the case, the new purchasers may go to Parliament for this object if they choose.] Well, but as it is the bridge is taken out of the market; it is kept out of the market for four or five months by three or four Rersons (and no one knows what difficulty there is in obtaining an Act of Parliament, what back stairs influence may be used to stop it in its progress), and then these gentlemen may turn round and say they withdraw from the contract. All they lose is 10,000/. They offer 226,0001. for the bridge, and to have it at their option to fulfil the terms of the offer four or five months after, or not at the risk of forfeiting 10,0001., not 2 1 ,4 per cent. [The Chair man—nearly 5 per cent.] He heard the money paid was to have been 20,000/, and this would have been but a trifle, considering at the expiration of the time in question, the risk there is of a fall in the market. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some questions from Share holders, said the tolls realised 2001. a week; that there was 11,000/. deposited with the Company's bankers that morn ing. The total amount from tolls was 4,500/. To some one who asked whether the present purchasers, previous to of taining the Act of Parliament, could sell the property, the CHAIRMAN said, of course they could do with their own property as they chose. Mr. HowLEn just rose to remind them that until an A ct of Parliament was obtained the sale could not be completed —it was impossible to buy the bridge out and out. The CHAIRMAN concurred in this, and added the Directors had exerted their utmost to get 20,000/., but were unable. Mr. Exausx, after some remarks on other offers having been made to the Company, moved, as an amendment, That Mr. Fuller's offer be declined, unless with option, and that the meeting take into consideration the offer previously made to the Directors of 216,0001.," which was seconded by Mr. Goodall. Mr. STOCKTON wished to urge upon the meeting, before this amendment was put, the impropriety of voting on it. He had heard much at the last meeting about the immoralities connected with their voting, but he would ask them, after voting as they had done, how they could stultify themselves by upholding this amendment. A SHAREHOLDER—IS not this a new offer? CHAIRMAN—No. Mr. ENGLISH--Was there not an offer of 216,0001., with option? CifAutmAN—Yes ; but never in a condition that your Directors could submit to a meeting. The offer was made by Mr. Fuller at a time when your Directors were already on terms with two-other parties, and they rejected this offer. On pressing that offer afterwards, however, it was withdrawn. On the amendment being put to the meeting three voted for it. For the resolutions, 57 of those present voted for, and 7 against them. Total proxies and votes, 256 ayes; 10 noes. The cordial thanks of the meeting to the Chairman and the Directors were moved by Mr. Stutely, and seconded by Mr. Hopgood. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, concurred in the expressions used by Mr. Stutely, and took them for his own, and said that in case he had evinced any warmth, it was for the interests Of the Company, and trusted they would always meet as though nothing of the kind had occurred. The meeting then separated. NEW RAILWAY SCHEMES.

Hawes in the chair. Mr. LAWRENCE, the Secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, and the notice calling this. A protest by Mr. Cope, of St. Martin's-lane, against the sale of the bridge, having been read, The CHAIRMAN informed the meeting that the Directors bad been able to complete the sale of the bridge at 226,000/. The contract of sale was read sr ecifying Mr. Jackson, Sir Joshua Walesby, and Mr. Reid as the purchasers; that 10,0001. of the purchase-money should be paid immediately, 108,0001. by the Ist August next, if the present Bridge Com pany should have succeeded in obtaining an Act of Parlia ment authorising them to sell, and the remainder when the contract of sale shall have been fulfilled in all its particulars, as far as they regard the present Company; and that if the purchasers after this, but before the completion of sale, shall wish to withdraw, that they may do so under the for:- feiture of the 10,000/. paid. It was moved by Mr. SEAGER, and supported by Mr. WALKER, to the effect —lst, That this be entered on the mi nutes ; 2d, That this meeting sanctions and confirms this sale and contract; 3rd, That this sale and contract be com pleted by the Directors; 4th, That the meeting authorises the Directors to adopt all such measures as are necessary to obtain an Act of Parliament permitting to sell. Mr. STUTELY expressed his entire approbation of the re solutions. COURT CIRCULAR. o ft WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen and Prince t hil walked in the vicinity of the Castle for some thn e morning.

THE IRON STLAM-PACKETS. Lieutenant H. Manby Tylden (1836), late first lieutenant of the Lily, 18, sloop, has been appointed to recommission the Lizard, iron steam-vessel, at Woolwich. This is the first of the six iron vessels built for dispatch-boats, and was commissioned at Woolwich about six months since ; but before she had taken on board the whole of her stores she was found to be so deeply immersed that she was put out of commivion, and her officers and crew were turned over to the Spitfire. She is now to have the same complement, et mament, and stores as the Locust, built in 1840, as it is con tended by the Navy Office that the Lizard was designed to carry no heavier weights, and that it is the fault of the :Ad - - miralty that the Lizard swam so deeply, for they incr eased the armament and the complement of men. This, however, is not the fact. The Lizard is not of the same dimensions as the Locust. She and the other five are at least 20 feet longer, and the increased tonnage which the larger dimen sions gave may have naturally and judiciously determined the Admiralty to increase the complement, and make the steamers more effective. But even with this greater capacity, and with the same number of men, less stores, and three days' coals only, the new iron steam-vessels, the Jackall sind Bloodhound, finished in 1845, are inferior in point of speed even to the old wooden vessels, and are no more fit to be em ployed as packets in the Mediterranean than a coach and four horses at the present day are eligible to carry the mails to Brighton. Why will the Admiralty allow the country to be served worse than private companies? The directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, or the directors of the General Steam Navigation Company, would not consider that they were doing their duty to the shareholders, if they accepted a half dozen vessels from the builders in 1845, the speed of which was not equel to vessels built in 1840, notwithstanding such,great improvements have been annually made to increase the power and reduce the weight of marine engines. Private companies have vessels built for them every year that exceed each other in stowage and speed In succession as they are brought out; but the Admiralty, at the greatest cost, have vessels built in 1845 that are not half a mile an hour faster than those built in 1840, and even if stored and stowed as they ought to be. they would be inferior to the old 10-gun brigs, converted into steamers 20 years ago, and now em ployed as tugs. How long will the Admiralty suffer a subordinate department thus to waste the public money, and thus invite reflection on themselves, who have done so much for the navy and the country since their accession to office in August, 1841. A letter from Hamburgh, of the 28th ult., says : " A steamer arrived here yesterday from London with a large quantity of specie. One well-known banking-house received two millions of mares ham°. We daily expect to see the rate of dis count reduced." PAWNBROKERS' SOCIETT.—The Committee of the above society, formed for the purpose of endeavouring to in duce the interference of the Legislature in reducing the pre sent hours of labour, and which, unlike other trades, are fixed by Act of Parliament, and consequently can only be remedied by the same source, are unremitting in their exertions to ob tain their object. THINGS LOST FOR EVER.—Lost wealth may be restored by industry the wreck of health regained by temperance —forgotten know:edge rostored by study—alienated friendship soothed into forget( ilnees—even forfeited reputation won by peni • tence and virtue. But who ever again looked upon his vanished hours—recalled his slighted years, stamped them with wisdom—or effaced from Heaven's record the fearful blot of wasted time Siginnseg.
