A Company is in tke course of formation for the construction 4f a RAILWAY from thetity of ELY to the Town of BURY ST. EDMUNDS. The Line will commenab by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern cantles, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and Ivlliterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury hallway. . . . Its olteet is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for Baerations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of ury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica tion with the manufacturing districts. The distanee from Bury, and consequently from places eastward of thsiktewn to Peterborough—She point at which so many Lines pass frig from the month and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route lo that.

The Directors of the Nottingham and Mansfield Railway, feeling the serious importance of connecting this line with the Midlands Railway, have resolved upon extending it to Clay Cross ; and, in or der to carry this important and popular project into execution, pro pose to raise an additional capital of 200,000!. This undertaking, connecting Nottingham and Mansfield with Chesterfield by means of the Midland Railway from Clay Cross, and with Sheffield and Yorkshire by means of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, will form a desirable communication between thew populous towns; and, in consequence of the amalgamation of this Company with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber-gate, and Manchester Railway: Company, and the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and Grantham Railway Company, it will form altogether a direct communication between the agricultural districts of Lincoln shire, the Midlands Railway, and all the manufacturing towns to the north and north-west of Nottingham and Mansfield, and, by other amalgamations now in progress, of which furthernotice will be given, it wilt form a direct communication with Lynn, Spalding, ' Dereham, and Ely, and other important towns to the south-east of Mansfield ; it will form a junction with the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield, and the Derby and Gaineborough Railways, and, by means of the latter, effect another outlet to the sea at Great Grimsby, and It is proposed to erect one common station at Mansfield, for the accommodation of passengers, and general traffic of the line. The proposed extension is intended to pass by the rapidly increas ing town of Sutton- in-Ashfield, thence by Tibshelf to Clay Cross, thus opening the valuable and extensive coal fields in that district ; It will also approximate the lime quarries of Skegsby, which yield lime of the finest quality, and is pecularly distinguished for its build ing properties; it possesses a well-known preference over any other lime, and is almost exclusively made use of in the erection of bridges and eulyerts upon various railways in the midland counties of Eng land. The valuable free-stone of Mansfield and its vicinity will, by means of this extension, be conveyed to every part of the north. The cele brated magnesian limestone, which was especially selected, for its beauty and durability, in erecting the new Houses of Parliament, extends under a large portion of the immediate district of Mansfield, and will through this medium be attainable in almost every part of the kingdom. The general traffic at present is of a highly remunerative charac ter, and, when fully opened, will present a development of more than ordinary magnitude throughout the whole portion of the line ; the length of the extension will be ten miles, and the entire district is no wholly destitute of any communication that can , bring its mime roiN and valuable resources into a distant and more extended is ar ket, and, as a mineral line alone, it will be found, from accurate cal culation,' made, to yield an amount of revenue fully commensurate with the outlay of the capital proposed. The Directors have received a most satifactory report from the engineers, and the entire absence of all impediments, the facility of construction, and general character of the undertaking, the great amount of traffic both in respect of passengers and merchandise, jus tify the confidence of the promoters in anticipating 10 per cent. upon the capital being realised immediately upon the opening of the line. The extended capital of 200,000 L will be divided into 8,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 2!. 12s. 6d. will be payable on or before the 90th day of September. A portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners and others locally interested; the re mainder will be distributed among the present shareholders, who will have the privilege of receiving the new shares in the proportion of ene e to every three now held by them, upon application being made by them in manner hereinafter-mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the opinion of their Parlia mentary agents, deem it expedient to make a further call of I/. 2s. 6,1. per share on d those shares already issued, the re cen t " stand ing orders" of the Muse of Commons, which require a deposit of 10 per cent., rendering this step essentially necessary. The Shareholders are therefore requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificates with the Reeretary, on or before the 20th day of September; in exchange for which, they will obtain a certificate, upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount payable, and upon producing the receipt, and signing the new Parliamentary contract, fresh scrip cer tificates, duly registered, will be delivered to them. Power will be taken in the Act to abandon any portion of the line that may be doemed unnecessary by the Directors ; interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will be also secured on the deposits as well as on all future calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line, or a dividend declared ; and the 1 ability o f S u b scr ib ers w ill be limited by Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. • FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis tract, and affords direct communication between them and the city of Norwich, which is the great mart for the agricultural produce of the county. By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England. This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the river Bure, and to the malsters and traders of the district, in the transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods of every kind consomed in the district are obtained. The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most delightful watering-place,' will now be considerably enhanced by the direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the kingdom. The unanimous and most cordiz.l support of the merchants and traders of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly con tended. This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the Norfolkßailway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yarmouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Company. fcr leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal divi sion of the surplus pr)fits. Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering difficulty. The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best for the public interest, and at the same time to avoid interference with any ornamental property. Application for Shares, which, on account of their limited number, can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability, may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 65, Moorgate-vtreet, London, in the following form ; or to the Solicitors in London or Norwich.

The great and important object of this undertaking is to connect by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expensive character, the mail and shipping port of Somtharnpton and the port and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick shire ; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery, and iron manufacturing and producing districts. It is not necessary in this case to enter into the question of ex pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity and advantage of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted. This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ; thus making the dis tance to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route, and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway. From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon, to continue fhe line eighteen miles to Ringwood, where, meeting the Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and the country below as far as Dorchester. About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about eight miles long, to Devizes. It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon the question of expediency of railway communication with South ampton ; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An dover to that place. - The latter is hilly, comparatively barren, and uninhabited, and consequently ex p ens i ve , w i t h very little local traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make a line the whole distance, there being no existing lino with which it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton parallel with and at a short distance from the South-Western line of Railway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line passing as it dots from north to south, through the heart of the county of Wilts, a distance of fifty miles, unites the whole of that county, obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and the existing and projected railways, easy access from all parts of Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the alternate assize town. Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they are with reference to the Interest of the shareholders, and the accom modation of the country traversed, a farther advantage, not only to the shareholders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to be stated. By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge, the port and harbour and the town and county of the town of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive Berme. The harbour of Poole admits vessels up to 400 tons burden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that by a small outlay improvements might be made to admit ships of the largest size. There are safe and quiet moorings for vessels, with ample quays and warehouses, and the dues and charges are about one-twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the item of Potter's Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards of fifty thousand tons, which, after reaching Liverpool, have to be transmitted by inland navigation about sixty miles to reach their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20s. per ton—every ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, vast quantities of which are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more extensive and ready market in the interior of the country, if there were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans porting it. The announcement of this project has been hailed with the utmost satisfaction both in the north end throughout every district over which the line passes, RS well as by every Interest identified with it, or affected by it. Forms of application for Shares, Copies of the Prospectus, and a Map exact'y according as to local position with the Index to the Ordnance Survey, and showing the line of Railway, may be obtained from the Secretary at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Grdat George-street, Westminster, from the respective Solicitors of the Company, and from Messrs.

Er, CA: THE " ILWAY Sir,—The Shrewsoury, Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Company having some time since issued a notice that arrangements tad been made with the London and Birmingham and other Com panies, securing to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham the use of the canal , I wish to draw the attention of the Shareholders and the public to the facts of the case as they now actually appear, and again prove how little cmfidence can be placed in the official notices of the Board of Management of this Company, which have ever been re markable for their total deviation from truth. It appears from inquiry that the " negotiations" have been con fided principally to the London solicitors of the and the result is as may be expected. The important Association formed for the conversion of canals in this district into railways have evidently no desire to connect themselves with a Committee whose public con duct has been so exposal in all the leading journals of late. All that has been obtained for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Shareholders is, that if that Company shall obtain an Act of Par liament authorising the construction of the railway, as at present proposed, between Birmingham and Shrewsbury, they shall be per mitted to fling this aside and apply for another admitting them to some indefinite union with the Shropshire Union Railway Company. No doubt this will be a fine thing for the lawyers' pocket, who, report says, have already had not a small slice of the 15,0001. which has been spent in endeavouring to obtaht an Act last session. Should, however, the Shrewsbury Company intend to apply for powers to amalgamate with the Canal Company in the next session, there is no cause to suppose 'that they will be more successful then than on a former occasion. Solicitors do not every day meet with a body of men so " confiding" as the Committee of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway have been, and it is naturally to be sup posed they will keep them in their hands as long as possible. Trusting the Shareholders will see through this new ruse, and take active measures to call the authors of it to account, if not for their own sake at least as a public example, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Camberwell, Sept. 5, 1845. WILLIAM PORTUS. T 3 THE CHAIRMAN OF THE THAMES EMBANKMENT SCHEME. Mr LORD, AM happy to see that a Company is at length IL about to be formed for the completion of this great public work (the Embankment) in unison with the undertaking which is to be carried out by the Great Southern Railway Companies. It is a most mistaken idea to suppose that any successful result can be obtained from acting in opposition to the views and interes of the persons and boards associated under the nama of the London Central Terminus Company, upon whom your Atmospheric Line must depend entirely for support. It is unfortunate that the private interests of engineers, solicitors, or subordinate officers, or the petty pride of Directors in enjoying the independent control of their scheme, should so often prevent the accomplishment of so great a national benefit; or, as in your case, cause the capital invested by the public to be wasted in preliminary expenses. I am, my Lord, A WELL-WISHER TO THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES. London, September 5, 1845. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE RAILWAY CHRONICLE. Sid,_ THE only advantage gained by the Shareholders of the Dudley and Birmingham Railway Company in their late negotiations with the Birmingham Canal Company is, that they will be permitted to squander, through the medium of their worthy Directors, another 25,0001. amongst their lawyers and officers. When Lord Fowls and the Shropshire Union Railway Company say they may admit them to a union " when they get their Bill," they know that such an nnlooked-for event is never likely to throw them into con nexion with men who, to say the least, are afraid to face their Pro prietors. Even were the Shrewsbury Company to obtain an Act of Incorporation, what security have they that any terms of union will be offered to them that they could accept? The Shropshire party, however, arc not to be played with ; they are determined to get a railway, and there is to-day, I am informed, a great and important meeting at Wolverhampton, at which they have resolved to support the Grand Junction scheme, and permit themselves no longer to be dupes of London solicitors and Committee-men, who have no interest whatever in the district, and from whom almost all the parties of local influence have withdrawn their support. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. WILLIAM JAMES JACKSON. 2, Ordnance-road, St. John's Wood, Sept. 5, 1845.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, Of Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Damley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenloek to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as It will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a hl.zhly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructedt at much less than the average cost. The co-operatim of the principal landowners on the line has been secured, and no opposition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rata of four per cent per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the date of each payment until the opeiling of the line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of Parliament shall have been obtained. _ _ Maps of the line, prospectuses, Wel, are to be obtained from the Secretary, the solicitors and local agents; to whom also applications for Shares (which mast be on printed forms) may be addressed ; and it grill be necessary that reference be made to a banker, solicitor, or person -of responsibility. PERSONAL SECURITY.-MONEY.

We do not think it necessary to put our readers upon their guard against the exaggerated spirit in which those articles that we have extracted from 'some of the French journals, on the subject of the affair at Tamatave, on the coasts of Madagascar, are written. The hatred of England—that hatred which is sure to be produced in un generous minds by the recollection of past defeats on the part of their own country, and of extreme moderation in victory upon ours—is the rankling passion to which the anstitutionnel (and, we are sorry t o a dd, t h e J ourna l demon, Debate everjealous of late) ofthe are increasi ng respect and friend ship which the two great rivals on the theatre of human civilization and political grandeur are reciprocally mem lapseofyears rolls destructive contests back the hfoar epoch a n o o t f h e r t , h e a i r s l t a h s e t which is incessantly invoked by the unprincipled writers of a party that cannot hope for influence or power in the direction of public affairs in France, excep in a season of wars abroad and tumultuous factions a' home. To the Moloch-worship of this EVIL ONE the political fanatics we speak of would freely sacrifice, it the strong arm of the law, and the yet stronger restraint of public opinion did not chain down their turbulent activity, all that is great and estimable .in France and in Englanil ; and, in the very first instance, that good understanding be tween the two Governments in the maintenance of which the peace and happiness of Europe and of the world at large aro so deeply interested. We will not do so much honour to the rancorous speculations in which the political jealousy of these writers has been lately in dulging on the event of the attack on Tamatave by a joint force of English and French sailors as to re-quote them. That attack resulted, it is well known, in a virtual discomfiture of their European assailants by the native Malgachees, whose intre- pidity availed itself to the full of all the _advan tages by which it was aided—a position of remark able strength, well improved, excellently fortified, and defended by numbers very far exceeding those of their assailants, with cannon that seem to have been well served. The disparity of the loss respectively sustained by the French and the _English crews, united in this conjoint operation (on the merits or misma nagement of which it is impossible to pronounce any opinion in the absence of official accounts and docu ments) has supplied the mctiro of a whole chorus of grumblers, accusers, and bellicose malcontents in the French newspapers. But their indignation and their insinuations, their suspicions and their irascibility, are alike too ridiculous to be gravely dealt with or seriously answered, excited, as these purport to be, by the fact that seventeen of the French and only four of the Eng- lish crews fell in this attack. The French journals can not, or will not, understand how this disparity of loss can have occurred. They seem to be incapable of so much elevation of sentiment as to attribute it to a most unnatural, but a generous ardour on the part of their own sailors, to distirguish their bravery and resolution under the very unusual circumstances of being associated w- h ours in a descent upon a common enemy. They seem equally oblivious of the fact that the governor of one of their own colonies, having directed or organised the expedition, in all probability assigned the post of honour, that is of danger, to those who bore the flag of France. But the speculations of these journalists on the disaster which has begin sustained at Tamatave ought not to be without their fruits. They should suggest matter to us of very grave reflection. No one who is aware of the extensive _ ---- - circulation of th e D e b ats, to say nothing of the talent with which the Paris ConAtitutionnel is written, or of the general ability and widely-diffused sale of other French papers, devoted to the same hostile depreciation of Eng land, her_ power, he r resources, h er strength, her _ policy, and the motives which it suits their purposes to attribute to that policy,—whether the subject of their animadversions be one of European or Asiatic interest—of the march of events in America or in Afr:r! :ntecl eunsiderations, can doubt. that, that poi two et toe Erench nation, to whom these exciting appeals are so mis chievously addressed, comprehends a very numerous, energetic, unse.-.pulous, and excitable community. The Debats, which accurately understands the necessity of sustaining this excitement by providing, from time to limo, fresh pabulum for its support, has now seized upon Hong-Kong, with the double purpose of gratify ing the community we allude to with the contemplation of the pleasing result that our acquisition has already proved, and continues to be, the grave of thousands of our gallant countrymen, and of insinuating that we are already on the point of providing ourselves with some far more eligible settlement on the Chinese coasts. But the notion it suggests of the grounds en which we shall " compel" the grant of it from the EMPEROR'S Govern ment is too eminently French not to be specially no ticed. It is said, "it would therefore be nc.‘cessary for them to obtain from the Chinese Government either . a new concession of the sovereignty of the island, or to find an opportunity of exacting it. Some imprudent attacks on the part of the Chinese population, like that which took place at Macao on the person of Mr. Davis, the English Commissioner, or that at Canton on Messrs. MONTGOMERY MARTIN' and STAUNTOIT, and for which the English have, perhaps designedly, deferred demanding reparation, may pro bably, in case of need, furnish the opportunity which they are seeking. In the meantime they are expending a great deal of money at Chusan, and are laying the foundations of a durable establishment." Now this is precisely the sort of claim founded on an ex post facto statement of ;past injuries fur which the claim of compensation has been postponed, that the French authorities have acted on at Otaheite and in Morocco, at Monte Video, in Mexico, and on the Sene gal. But it is a little too much to assume that Great Britain would condescend to imitate a system of dis ingenuous policy that has already received the con demnation of all Europe. In what we have thus written, however, of the extra- vagant excesses to which the anti-English party in France is pushed by its credulous animosity, we desire to excite no contemptuous disregard for such manifesta tions. On the contrary, that party, we repeat, is nu merous, able, ancl;powerful. Strong as the Government of AL GUIZOT may be to uphold the cause of peace, and of established institutions—vigorous and provi dent as is the character of the ICING of the FRENCH, no man can foresee at what moment the vicissitudes of political administration, the issue of party cabals and intrigues, and the course of nature may deprive the world of the guarantees it now possesses, in a wise KING and en intelligent Minister at the head of the French people, for their being restrained any longer iu a pacific attitude towards other nations—and this more particu larly. We, too, would implore our own Government to lay reflections of this nature to their own hearts; and not to relax in that course of vigilant superintendence and improvement which has been commenced, we readily admit, in many of the most important of our Executive Departments, but which, if carried out to a point short of timely completion, may even now prove but failures. Among the still uneffected, but indispenable, measures required to give its due efficiency to the most essential arm of the national service—our Navy—we must still complain, and we urgently complain, that no system has yet been organised of the nature we have so often dis cussed for securing a present complement, and retaining in all future tames an adequate supply, of able seamen, by the establishment of a half-pay or allowance list for that purpose. We lament to find, that in acting on the suggestions of the Commission upon Harbours of Refuge, nothing has yet been done to develop the noble capaci ties of the harbour of Seaford, or to render the natural facilities of the road of Dungeness more available and extensive for similar purposes. We must also express the disappointment, in which we believe the public largely participate, that profes sional men of the highest authority and experience, loudly announce at the still undigested and un combined results of the various experiments which have been made on the improvement of the construction of war-steamers, and the arc i fiitecture and armament of men•of-war, with a view to the attain ment of the best sailing properties, and the most effec tive gunnery with the heaviest metal. The attention and energy of the Admiralty still require, we fear, to be acted upon by a " pressure from without." The election for the borough of Southwark will be decided on Thursday next, according to the announce ment of the High Bailiff, and we therefore take the op portunity of saying a few words to the Liberal candidates. Mr. PILCHER belongs to a party for which the :electors of this borough have, on many occasions, expressed by ' their votes a manifest dislike ; he professes, it is true, some liberal principles, but general pro fessions, all know, seldom bear the test of experience, and should he be returned, he will, beyond all doubt, vote with the men whose mea sures their present consistent Member, as well as the late Mr. WooD, so often opposed. Should Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII and Mr. MIALL persist in going to the poll, they will play into the hands of the Tories, and the votes of the Membf rs for Southwark in Parliament will, in all probability, be neutralised. In other words, Southwark will be unrepresented for all useful purposes, and the ho nest, liberal, and radical constituency, will not be one whit better off than the corrupt electors of disgraced Sudbury. The supporters of the liberal candidates know to a certainty which has the best chance, indeed, there can be no doubt on the subject, and for the sake of obtaining a candidate that professes most of their political views, would it not be better to sacrifice one in order to keep out their enemy ? The result of the elections at Man chester and Durham ought to be a warning and teach the Radicals, that so far from opposing Toryism, they are lending by their obstinacy the most effectual support to its obnoxious tenets. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, as if to add to the mischief, advocates the claims of the weaker party, thereby doing everything in his power to return a Tory. We do not blame him for putting forth his peculiar opinions on all suitable oc casions—we do not even suspect for a moment thst he would prefer PILCUER to MoLcswonTn, but we blame him for want of tact and prudence, and for endangering the Liberal cause by encouraging dissension among its friends. Cannot he perceive what joy this dissension causes among all the enemies of liberty and reform, and how gratified these oppressors of the people are in seeing some well-meaning, but injudicious, opponent throwing he apple of discord among Reformers, and thereby in suring their own triumph ? Let us hope, howev( r, that the honest electors will not be misled, and that South wark will not be subjected to the disgrace which now attaches to not a few free constituencies. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 29th ult., when the city was perfectly tranquil. Letters from garagossa also announce that the attempted resistance to the payment of the new tax had been unsuccessful and order had been completely restored. The QUEEN was expected at Pampeluna on the 2d inst., and the French Princes on the 4th. In reference to this inter view the Tiempo says :—" Whatever may be its object and result--whether it be the Count TRAPANI or Count MONTEMOLIN who is to divide with MONTES the honours of that city—it is at least certain that towards the mid dle of next month the Court will have raurned to Ma drid ; and those fears entertained by the most prudent and cautious men, will not be realised. Such at least is our opinion, and as such we express it loyally and forcibly. The marriage will not have taken place ; there will be no VILUMA Mini-try ; nor, in a word, will any of those things happen which some persons of our various parties prognosticated." No business was done cn the Madrid Bourse on the 29th ult. The Paris papers contain no political articles of he slightest importance. We were glad to find that two of the most violent cf them have taken up subjects of a more useful character. The Presse has com menced a series of articles on the liberty of the sub- Ject, which, in France, appears to be of the very smallest amount possible. That journal complains that the law neither defines imprisonable offences, nor the rank or station of the magistrate, by whom a warrant may be issued. The accuser can select the committing magistrate, w ho has the power not only of arresting him, but of confining him secretly, and forbidding ell intercourse between him and his family for an indefinite period. We doubt the state ment. The Charter did not leave the liberty of the subject in such an undefined state ; and we con fidently believe that no magistrate can corn n - tit to prison, without a limited period being fixed for the trial of the accused. The Notional com plains of the mode of appointing• persons to Government offices, on the ground that a man according to the presen practice cannot obtain a Govern meat situation unless he has gone through a regular course of study at the uni versity. We believe the practiec prevails only in refe. rence to certain appointments for -which, of course, a suit. able degree of instruction is noces sary. However, these are laudable endeavours, and it will be gratifying to find these rabid journals directing: attention rather to the social evils of France than etc rnally meddling with the affairs of their neighbours. It appears from the (axial journals that a division of - Free ch troops, under the com ' ia a cavern, hilt, it had been conducted in a more humane manner. Two dispatches, dated Al giers, Aug. 15 and 19, had been received from Marshal z•,:ating the paniculars. In the ri-port of the 15th the Marshal gives an recount of a luccessful attack made by a French force under Colonel DE ST. ARNAUD, on the 7th, on the Scheriff BouA-MAZA, who was at the head of 200 cavalry and some infantry. The enemy was completely defeated, The Scheriff escaped with difficulty. His brother, one of his officers, and several of his cavalry were killed. On the Bth Colone ST. ARNAUD received information that the enemy had retired in a great measure to their caverns. Without losing an inLtant he proceeded to blockade them. The report says :—" At seven in the evening the in vestment was complete ; in this operation we had two soldiers wounded. There were, it is said, in the grot toes a hundred armed men. The various summonses made up to the departure of the courier had been re ceived with insult and the firing of muskets." In the report of the 19th the Marshal says—" The siege of the grottoes of Sbehas has been less distressing than that of the Ouled ; we were able to devote much more time, as the column of Colonel DE SAINT ARNAUD was isolated, and was not required to esAst in any other operations. The explosion of a mine killed a few per sons ; the rest, alarmed at our incessant proceedings, capitulated. Our soldiers, always humane, did not show less activity in extracting these unfortunate wretches than they had shown in labouring to compel them to surrender." The report goes on to state that, on the 13th, Lieut.-Colonel D'ALTONVILLE, at the head of 600 men, made a forced march of eight leagues at night, to fall upon the Scheriff, who had retreated to the rocks near the sea, in the country of the Ouled- Youness. He again escaped, with one of his wives, to an inaccessible rock, abandoned by all his men, and leaving his tents and flocks, and the whole of his smala The same chief, however, soon after left his hiding place, and appeared at the head of 400 horsemen in the territory of the Beni Zaugzougs. The Governor of Ali lianah dispatched some cavalry in pursuit of the party, and also two companies of infantry to support the ca valry. The former, however, having rather incautiously advanced, were suddenly attacked by 300 mounted Arabs and obliged to retrace their steps, with the loss of one killed, three wounded, and four horses. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers :- ".At Eu, on Tuesday, the King, with the Queen and the Princess Adelaide, walked in the park from half-past three till five o'clock, attended by the Minister of Public Instruction, Generals Athalin and d'doudetot, and M. Brahaut, one of his Majesty's orderly officers. "Prince Jerome Napoleon has left Paris. According to a report mentioned by the Gazette de France, he received a promise before his departure that the law of proscription against the Bonaparte family shall be revoked, or considerably modified. " The Duke d'Aunrtle left the Château de Belfort on Mon day for Pampeluna. His return is announced for the 9th. During the absence of the Prince, Major General Tallandier takes the command of the camp of the Gironde. ." The Weser Gazette publishes a letter from Denmark, in which it is stated that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that country intends to go to England and Austria, with the view of obtaining from the Earl of Aberdeen and Prince Metter nich the guarantee of the unity of the Danish monarchy and the succession to the throne. " The Cologne Gazette gives accounts from Tiflis to the 3d ult., according to which the Russians, after their success at Dargo, were so much harassed by the enemy, ani experienced so many privations, that Count Woronzaff was compelled to order a retreat to the Russian territory, No intelligence of this kind appears, however, to have been received from any other quarter. " Ttie Leipsic Gazette publishes a royal degree against meetings and associations in Saxony, having an avowed or dis guised political object, as being contrary to the resolution of the Federal Diet of July 5, 1832. —The late meetings for the dis cussion of the new German Catholic Church question have, it is stated, rendered this notice necessary."

Sin,—My attention was the other day arrested by - a state ment in The Sun of the 28th ult. regarding the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. I have cut out of the paper, and attach hereto, the article alluded to. It says We are informed that no railway in the country exhibits so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and Birming. ham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, are as follows :- 1845. 1844. Week ending August 8 £4,453 £3,035 Ditto 15 I have referred to the official returns, and find that the above quo•ed returns are incorrect. The receipts Bth Auguq, 1844, should be 3,6351., and the receipts 15th August, 1844, should be 3,5321. This gives an increase on the first quoted week, at the rate ( dropping fractions) of 23 per cent., and on the second week about 19 per cent. Allow me, by way of contrast, and for the information of your informant, and through him the public, to direct his and their attention to another, as yet comparatively little known railway—l mean the Preston and Wyre—!ending to the flourish ing port of Fi,etwood. It is only 19 miles long, and the Man chester and Birmingham is 31, or nearly double the length. The receipts of the Preston and Wyre for the last month have been as follow, and I defy your informant to point out another railway in the kingdom where the in,mase has been so great:— Week ending 1145.

Mr. George Robins's beautiful Marine Villa, which faces thb Duke of Devonshire's (and luckily has a south-west aspect instead of an easterly wind to contend with), is to be let on lease, unfurnished, but we happen to know that within the last few days he was heard to say he would furnish it splendidly or moderately (as it might be required), but not for a less period than three or five years. He would not like to let it for a season, and then find all the gold taken off the gingerbread, and this would be the case if it is to be furnished, as he is de sirous to do. The four or eight stalls and double coach-howes at the rear is an advantage that very few at Kemp Town can boast of.—Brighton Herald. CAUTION TO JURORS. —Yesterday, at an inquest he'd before Mr. Payne, in the board-room of St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, on the names of the jurors who were sum moned from the Tower ward being called over, it was found that there were fifteen absent. They Tere fined 20s. each. JOSEPH Loins PAPINEAu.—'The dist i nguished ex- Speaker of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, left Kingstown yesterday morning, for Liverpool, where he this day embarks on board the Britannia, Boston steamer, en route to Montreal. This illustrious patriot spent a few days with his friends in our metropolis, previous to his return to his native land, after an absence of eight years. The amnesty which ena bled him to return to Canada was granted two years ago, but he remained a voluntary exile till family affairs of importance im peratively demanded his presence in America.—Freeman's Journal. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ENGLISH TALENT. —Letters from Vienna speak in terms of high commendation of the re ception which Lord Francis Egerton has received during his stay in that city, on account of his liter ar y an d art i st i c merits. Thomas Austin has obtained the same civilities at Frankfort. NOTTINGHAM AND AMBER -GATE RAILWAY.—An agreement has been made between the Nottingham and Amber gate, and Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and Grantham Rail way Companies, and the Lynn and Dereham Railway Com pany, as to the junction between their lines. The former corn panics will extend their lines from Grantham to Spalding, so as to meet the extension line of the Lynn and Ely Company—a measure which will greatly promote the value of the property of each—Nottingham Review, DEATH ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT.—LRSt even ing an inquest was held before Mr. W. Payne, at the Steel yard Tavern, Upper Thames-street, respecting the death of Mr. John Weir, aged 24, a commercial traveller. It appeared from the evid ence of several witnesses, that on Thursday morning the deceased and several friends proceeded on board the Wedding-ring steam-boat to Gravesend, on a pleasure ex cursion. The deceased seemed in excellent health, and joined in several quadrilles and country dance., as the vessel proceeded down the river, and on reaching Gravesend dined with the proprietors of the boat. He returned to the heat in the company of a young lady, with whom he danced as the boat was on the way to London. About twenty minutes to ten, as the steamer was off the Custom-hou , e, the deceased was ob s.rved to fall sud4enly on the deck. His friends ran to him and lifted him up, and sprinkled his face with water. A sur get.n named Savoury, who was on board, used all efforts to re stere animation, but the vital spark had fl:d. The surgeon was of op:ni - n that the deceased had 'led from disease of the heart. Verdict---" Natural deaths" , : i - lie sales of uotton ..t i•ivcrp.oi .) cs.ci,i,..
