VALE OF NEATH R AILWAY. • The allotment of Shares in this Railway being now com pleted, the Committee of Management desire to express their regret that they have been unable to comply so fully as they desired with the applications 01 parties locally iittetrested, and of holders of Shares in the South Wales Railway. The public generally will also accept as an apology, that owing to the unprecedented number of applications, the Committee have been compelled to overlook many of the very highest character and re spectability, and of necessity to limit the number of Shares in each allotment.

Keogh, Esq. . . This line is intended to open a direct communication between the Great Western and its connexions ; Birmingham, Manchester, the principality of Wales, (via Oxford); and the South-Eastern and Brighton Railways: thereby affording to travellers from the north, north-west, and west of England, as well as from Wales and Ireland, a direct route to the Continent and all the ports on the south-east coast without the expense and inconvenience of passing round by London, where the delay consequent upon changing trains, &e., cannot be estimated at less than six or eight hours, not to mention The saving of tune effected by traversing but one side of a triangle in , tead of two (vide map.) it is proposed that the line should commence at Reading on the f ;rent Western, and passing through or near Oakingham, Sandhurst, Blackwater, Farnborough, (on the South-Western), Guildford, Dork ing, Reigate, terminate at Redhill, the junction of the South-Eastern and Brighton lines ; thus forming one of the most important con necting lines in the kingdom, presenting no engineering difficulties. A glance at the map will render the great advantages of this junc tion so self-evident, that it is deemed useless to enter into minute details ; but, from calculations, a large return to the shareholders may reasonably be looked for, as it will open a direct transit fed merchandise and passengers from the principal manufacturing dis tricts to the ports c ntiguous to the Continent, and pass through a rich and populous country, which in itself would afford ample return on the cabital invested ; great additional traffic may also be antici pated from ti=e contiguity and facility of communication with the metropolitan race-courses—Epsom, Goodwood, and Ascot. It will interfere with no existing lines, but, o❑ the contrary, while it receives it will give support to all the western and north-western railways, with some of which negotiations are now pending. As a line bringing into direct commuhication the coast opposite France, and such extensive districts of our own country, it may reason ably be anticipated that the Government will not overlook advantages which•may one day be of such vital importance to our empire. Prospectuses and Maps and any information may be had at the Offices of the Solicitors, and of Messrs. Shewell and Co., 25, Token house-yard; Messrs.

It is promoted under the belief, that, whilst the Manchester and Southampton lines must command the traffic of the great manufac turing districts,bf Lancashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot t, ries, the Iron Districts, and the larger portion of the Midland and Western Counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the conutry and of Oxford requires another commuication, and that a line so , designed as to be worked in union with the main project of the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun tenance of that influential body as well as of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Company (to the traffic of which Company this under taking will prove an important tributary), and will offer greater fa cilities to the public than any scheme dependent in its working on other interests. The Line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and Oxford'and all points to the North-east. It will, moreo ver , open an almost direct communication from Rugby, Oxford, and the Eastern (lountles to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole, Dorchester, and the Western Counties ; also to Fareham, G osport, and Portsmouth, and the whole Eastern Coast. In addition to these immense district advantages, the line mow proposed confers on the whole Kingdom the opportunity of reaching the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Maley. Its length will be about thirty miles. • Such arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the success Or the main design, that: namely, of having tne line worked by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company ; and, on the other, to meet the requirements of the tratlic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great Western Company. Completing, . as this railway will do, the ' connexion from the north and east of England to Southampton and the soathern coast ; obtaining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the great network of railways centring at Oxford ; and giving an ontlet at Southampton, the principal maiLpacket station of the kingdom, to the East and West ladies. Mexico,. Turkey, Egypt, Sp a i n an d Por tugal, also to the.llle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France,—it IA obvious that the return upon the cost of construction which will be moderate) must be highly remunerative.

From the same cause the shares allotted in London and other places to persons not locally interested has been materially abridged below the number originally intended to be appropriated in tho3e quarters. • The Committee have, therefore, to request that all persons loot receiving letters of allotment will accept this statement as a sufficient explanation of the reason why an allotment has not been made in their flavour.

The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route to that City by way of Cambridge.

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 trict, and affords direct communication between them and the City of Norwich, which is the great mart for the agricultural produce of the colinty. 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 maltaters and traders of the district, in tha transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy communication of the ports anal places from which coals and goods of every kind consumed in the district, arc obtained. Tha 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 cordial support of the merchants and traders of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin ciple of direct communication fur which they have so earnestly contended. This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the Norfolk Railway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Compaay for leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal division of the surplus profits. 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 Provision?'

This Railway will commence at a suitable point of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Rnilway, at or near Mid-Calder, and pro ceed westwards, by easy and convenient gradients, accommodating the populous towns and villages of Livingstone, Bathgate, Blackburn, Whitburn, and Clarkstone, to the Airdrie District, where it will form a junction with the existing and projected lines to Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The populous district traversed by this Railway is one of the rich est in Scotland. It abounds in ironstone, coal, limestone, and other minerals ; and it only requires the advantages of railway accom modation to develop its resources. The revenue, as a Mineral line alone, should suffice to yield the largest return legally exigible by railway praptietors ; and when it is considered that, by the junctions already referred to, this line will form a direct, short, and uninterrupted route between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and connect East, West, and Mid Lothian, and the whole of the eastern counties of Scotland, not merely with Glasgow, but with the counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Wigton, and Kirk cudbright, and their Important seaports; It would be diftleult to o. er value the present line as a great national undertaking. . To those acquainted with the district, it is unnecessary to point out the imrfiense local importance of this line and its dependencies ; and to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, and all the other towns is the east and west of Scotland, it would be super fluous to mention the advantages of such a line, whether as respects safety and comfort, or economy and expelitlen ; bat, for the benefit of those at a distance, it may be well to state that, while it avoids objectionable tunnels, viaducts, and other heavy works, it is also shorter, by at least one-sixth of the whole distance, than any other line between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and will further be the means of conveying, without transhipment, passengers and goods from the east to the west coast. _ . rno T s li t s co l v arte i st a, P s e m it P t r to e proprietors s i that, as it will mee t t h e d eman d s of the pu b l i c, i t w ill i n due time t i l , o d n e g r t . t i k% g 11 ; n e a n h d a t v h e e r e a l cannotr e a dy•givendt, r ub t receive the sanction of the Legislaturo.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having, been both rejected by Par liament, and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti tute of railway acemmodation. The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin sula ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly co r plained of, the leading and indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the " London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was the Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords, in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." • • • Tinder these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already. morally. secured. Iu order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without chAnge of gauge or teriainus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving actual distance thus effected, between. London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Ilamoaze, to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in-that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the Ruiner, as the most Westernly station for our naval and, packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of refuge In the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the lin portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated. The central district from Exeter, westward, has been recently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attalnab7e without engineering difficulties, and at a'reasonable expense ; the general course being Rear or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, OXehampton, Launces ton, Camelford Bodmin, St. Columb, Sr. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, Cainborue, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marazlon, and Pen aance. _ _ This extension runs for more than 30 miles though the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recent,y rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate company would be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmcuth, will form an integral portion of the main work under cue and tne same management. From Trtso, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines ; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China slay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood. It willalso avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod mln to Wadebridge, will open, through the- port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the Pend supplicl by the Dude Canal, and the lime which abotmda in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a morket in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston w: it o.ten for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze irom Plymouth to Falmouth. Should the trailic,. nevertheless, •be found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and lOU be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exe.ei*, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles fin ther on by the Dartmouth, Brixhant, Torbay - , and Exeter line, an'amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south; from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, ainounti , g to more than 600,000,—its Ports;situate on both Chan nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricaural advan tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies,—were t fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require Increased facilities, Lid diminished co=t of transport.. The general evidence, also, given in thet lio - ase, showed a good remune rative existing traffic, without anv such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well-digested system of Branches; and when the further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, Its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county 0/Comma this line, when established, can have no eligible competitor, it opportunity isnot f tooor th muchei investment v t e o s i a m ss e e n r t t o th ca that this is l project offers a very The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : the numerous and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose members appear in the Provisional Committee, leave no doubt of the successful Issue of the application which will be made to Par liament in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions, and for allowing interest at 4/. per Cent. - per annum, on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. ' The Provisional Committee reserve ;to themselves the power of MakinB such aterattous ute Kahl Line, or Branch% 1611 4 4169 of entering into such arrangements for the construction of those Branches, by Auxiliary Companies, as may be deemel advisable.

THE LIVEttPOOL AND HULL DIRECT CONNECTING RAILWAY, via BLACKBURN, BURN LL Y, and LEEDS. The public are informed that a line of railway is intended to he made from the stations of the several railways now forming and pro jected at Blackburn, through the town of Burnley, to Leeds. This line, with its conjunctions, and particularly the projected Blackburn, Cborley, and Liverpool Railway, will have a decided ad vantage over all other existiag lines front Leeds to Liverpool, as it is, intended to carry it down, or near to, the docks at Liverpool, and when completed will form tile nearest and only direct route from the docks on the Humber at Hull, to those on the Mersey at Liverpool, being a communication so long wanted and suggested by many lead ing and Lifluential merchants at the two important ports of Liver pool and Hull. By this hue a very considerable saving of distance between Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, and the important and densely-populated manu facturing districts, and the extensive and best coal fields of the two , counties of York and Lnucaster will be effected. This project has been in contemplation fur a considerable period, the promoters of which did not intend to bring it before the public until the surveys were fully completed, but in consequence of a pre liminary notice having been is ined by some other parties, and this purporting to go over nearly tire same ;round, the projectors of this scheme think the time.hos now :trriveri for imileing -their Intentions public.

By ALEXANDER REED, A. 1., Rector of the Circus - place School , Edinburgh. Author of " Rudiments of English Composition," &c. In this work, to which the author has devoted the labour of several years, an attempt has been made to compile • a school dictionary adapted to the present state of the English language, and to the im proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have be come obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time grouped in such a manner as to show their etymological affinity ; and after the first ward of each group, is given the root from which they are de rived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a vocabulary; so that the dictionary may be used either for reference, or for teaching derivation. The pronunciation; which is indicated by a simple no tation, is that of Walker, unless when the Litter differs from prevail ing usag or from the majority of competent authorities. The classi cal and scripture proper names are printed in one list, and are di vided, into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident took place on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Thursday morning about one Welock, which was attended with the death of George Macklin, one of the guards. It appears that Macklin has been employed on the line for only four mouths, and in ac. cordauce with a custom which provides that all new guards be appointed to the charge of luggage trains as an initiatory step, he bad charge of a train of this kind which left Glasgow at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. The train reached Linlithgow in safety, where one of the trucks was to be left, and for the sake of convenience it was the last in the train. It was in connexion with this particular truck that Macklin lost his life, but as no person saw the accident, the particulars cannot be given with cer. tainty. From the position, however, in which the body was foetal, it is supposed to have occurred as follows r--Before the train had been fully stopped he had swung himself on the buffers of the second last truck in order to save himself the trouble of running forward and uncoupling the last one at the proper time; and while in this situation, he had fallen down on the rail, and im mediately tile remaining truck passed over his body. The unfoi tunate man was quite unable to speak, and died in about a quar. ter of an hour afterwards.—Scetsmars. SUPPRESSION OF A PRIZE FIGHT. —At. Woolwich Poliee-court yesterday, Sergeent Glasscock brought up two prisoners, charged with having been concerned in a prize fight that had taken place that aften.non in the Erith marshes. The prisoners gave the name cf John Hick and John Clark, and described themselves as iron- ..vorkt , r4. The face of Hick, one of the principals, was covered with brui ses, the left eye being blackened and fearfully Sergeant Glasscock deposed that last night he received information that a prize fight was to take place in the marshes. He accordingly went early in the m.,rning with four constables. Ab out ten minutes past one he :aw a mob of about two hundred persons coming towards the Leather Bottle, in the parish of Erith. Before he got up to them two rounds had been fought. Directly he went up the mob ran away in various directions. The other princi pal got away, but he succeeded in apprehending Hick, who had neither shirt nor trousers on. Thi prisoner at first told him they were fighting for ten sovereigns, but afterwards he said it was only for two sovereigns. Clark got into a boat, and tried to aid Hick in escaping The defendants wer e ordered to fin d good bail to ke e p the peace,. and were remanded till this day. REDUCTION OF THE HOURS OF LABOUR IN FACTO. RIEs.—A most interesting and crowded meeting of- factor] operatives was held in the Temp eran ce Hall, Bolton, on Thursday evenin g l ast. Tile meeting was called by the operatives to take into consideration the propriety of soliciting their employers to reduce the hours of labour, and to adopt means for effectually carrying out the same. Several ad dresses delivered by operatives showed that they had made themselves acquainted with the evils of the present system. The subject waf.vis:wed m-rally, physically, and economically; after which a number of resolutions, and an address to their employers, were unani mous ly adopted. The address requested that the masters would limit the hours of labour to eleven each day for the Usual five'days in the week—the hours on Saturday to remain as at present—and that the change might commence on the 224 instant.

Queen VICTORIA has paid another complimentary visit to Louis PHILIPPE and his family at the Chateau d'Eu, where she was received with the most enthusiastic welcome from the Court, the troops, and the inhabitants of the district. The well-conditioned subjects of the two Sovereigns will feel gratified by these friendly in terviews, fur after all, even in countries governed by Parliaments and eenstitutional laws, the chief magis trate has vat power, and many opportunities of swaying directly or indirectly the minds of those over whom he is placed. The example of persons in high life is in time imitated by their inferiors : the warm friendship therefore which ex ists between the Royal Families of Great Britain and France, it may be anticipated, will extend its in fluence to other classes, and wear off thou.' absurd and bigetted national prejudices which are the bane of civiliz Al nations as well as barbarians. The QUEEN of these realine, to her credit, led the way some two Years ago ; she landed on the French coast with little more ceremony than that observed by pri vate individuals, and by her simplicity of manners, her affable deportment, and the confidence which she placed in the honour and hospitality of our gallant neighbours, made a deep and friendly impression on the public mind of France. But LOUIS PHILIPPE is not less entitled to praise—perhaps he has the greatest merit—for a large portion of his people look but coldly on English alliance, and not a few of them consider that France has many grievances to be removed and many complaints to urge against the policy generally pursued by the English Ca binet. Aware, however, that such complaints were not well founded, ho put every objection on this score aside, and gave a reception to her Britannic MAJESTY, which could . leavL no doubt among Frenchmen that his heart was engaged in the cause, and that it was one of the great obj-ets of his long and varied life to establish unity between two nations which have such vast in fluence in the government of the world. The present visit is one of a similar character. From all accounts it was suggested by his MAJESTY, the invitation was warmly accepted by the QUEEN, and the interview will not be the lees prized by the two countries because. it was not expected, and resemble.: r..;,er the meeting of private friends thee that of the twe tie e. Sovereigns of the world. We trust the omen is gu. (l end that this amicable intercourse will not be without i 3 influence in the political relations of England and France. it was but a vain hope, it seems, that we expressed about six or seven weeks ago, in commenting upon the great Orange demonstration, as it was called, which had then been exhibited at the Enniskillen meeting, where ladies of rank and distinguished beauty and station lent the influence of their presence to sanc tion what was known to be an illegal assemblage. preceded . by illegal processions. It was' we admit,' btiri :belief as well as our hope, that after a brief season of calm reflection, following the mo mentary excitement of an ill-judged commemoration like that of the 12th of July, the excellent feelings of the warm-hearted pc o2le of those pertions of Ireland over which Orangeis:a is most extensively diffused, would sober down to that tone of forbearance and repose which best becomes the truly loyal tubjeets of a constitutioke.l. QUEEN. The interests of the commonwahh necessarily suEr in the struggles of parties to revive the ill-omened recollections of former victories on the one s:d end defeats on the other. Butt when with these recollections, stPep-reotcd and ancient differences of religious opinion; a traditionary zeal with one sect, and inflexible bigotry with another; and inherited associations of mutual animosity and persecutions with both, are mixed up in almost inseparable combination, it is evident that mere commemorations of the kind cannot be publicly celebrated without placing the public peace in imminent jeopardy. The evil extends, however, be yond this immediate result. In every anniversary or other recurrence of the ceremonial, a fresh impetus is given to tlie oe wti! of difsensi,,ns,l%hirh it shouid be the object of all stat., poliej, good citizen ship, and all • Christian charity, • to extinguish rather than to perpetuate. To the Buniskillen meeting, the Orange soi ie of Thursday last, at the Belfast Music-hall, was but a natural pendant. It is the curse of these foolish excerses of partisanship, that a vital energy of reproduction is the principle of their existence. They are polypes which one process of excision short of violent annihilation does but multiply. The Belfast soirée was but a type of the great Orange mons trosity in its renewed germ. As such we deplore it, and we can do no more. The protests of the sincerest friends of Ireland—oF those who desire the mainte nance even of the Established Church in that country. but on terms of more Christianized and more Consti tutional equality with the other professions of our common faith—are unheard amidst the tumultuous clamours of that party spirit which seems ever to be awakened and abroad, when good government, equal justice, and laws impartially administered have begun to exercise their beneficial functions in that devoted laud Now we are prepared to contend—whatever our objec tions to the principles and policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration on many of the most vital questions con nected with our domestic and foreign policy, and esp. - - cially on those which regard our fiscal and monetar., )s. ms—that in reference to Ireland, the, praise must be conaded to the present Government of good intention-, enlarged views, and a high degree of moral courage, in carrying out those intentions and views into practical effect. In-this spirit of fair and impartial dealing with the Irish people we have lately seen the same Ministers, aho have staked so boldly their official power and their party influence upon the experiment of vastly increased grants fur the endowment of religious and educational es'aAishinents connected with the popular religious :with of Ireland, stepping forward to rebuke and punish an offensive indiscretion on the part of an able magis trate (as we understand), a very amiable gentleman in private life, and a staunch political supporter of their own Conservative body. The indiscretion and offence on the part of Mr. WAT SON, the feted of Belfast, consisted in his having ap peared very prominently at the Enniskillen affair, to which we have already adverted. On his affirmative ac knowledgments to this effect, in reply to an application addressed to him at the instance of the highest Govern ment authority, it was intimated to him that he was dismissed from the distinguished positions he had long occupied of a deputy-lieutenant of the county in which he resided and of a justice of the peace. An Orange loyalist is like the miniature balloon in one of those pretty chemical toys which our experimental instrument makers display in their windows. A very slight ex ternal pressure by a hand from above makes it rise from the bottom to the top of the vessel. Mr. WATSON might have continued to be happily unheard of in this country ; but the act of the Lord-Lieutenant's Secretary at once exalts him from an unremarked obscurity to the bub bling surface of Irish agitation. The ex-lieutenant is now fluttering there, a new-blown Orange martyr, and apparently overwhelmed by the intensity of the in terest he is exciting. He seems to have been unable—(and no wonder)—to reconcile to himself the degree of profound attention and sympathy he was greeted with by noble and gal!ant persons, his " own familiar friends," of a " quarter of a century's" standing, who had previously never detected in him the tendencies he must have always possessed towards the distinguished destination he has now reached. The Earl of RODEN, who seems to have quarrelled with the ceremonial pomp and form of the Romish Church with as much heat as he has manifested for the mummery, the " Guns, pistols, blunderbusses, trumpets, drums, and thunder " of rampant Orangeisin—checked the enthusiasm that was consuming himself and the company as sembled at the soiree to hail Mr. WATSON with " deafening cheers" and " Kentish tire," in order to call upon the Rev. Mr. M'ILWAINE to open the business of the evening with a prayer to the Groat GIVER OF ALL GOOD. It is a characteristic feature of the affair, that neither this prayer, nor the Rev. Gentleman's introduc tory response to the Noble Chairman's call, forms any portion of the report we have seen of the proceedings and speeches of the meeting. What intere,t could the:, possess by the side of good Orange-tinted factious senti mentality ? Whit poisible relation could any precepts possess, borrowed from a Gospel which inculcates brotherly " love with all men," peace, universal charity, unex elusiveness, good will, to the fierce sectarian pre judices of that politico-religieuc fanaticism which is the monopoly faith of the Orange Association? How in consistent with the Christian doctrine of a Christian pastor, representing 11131 who came among us to heal, not to ferment divisions and heart-burnings among men, have app,ared by the si Ie of half-frantic declam lions of an embittered hatred rankling in the hearts of a small but compactly banded n3iouriv of a people toe ards the religious faith and equalised rights of the over whelming majority of their fellow-countrymen ; a mi nority, the aim and end, and boasted function of which it it to give, to the utmost of their capacity, perpetuity to the remembrance of the sanguinary contests that have raged in the olden time between them and their com patriots of another form of faith, and permanency to the unequal and oppressive distribution of property, influence, and power which then accrued to, and has since been re tained by, themselves. The Earl of RODEN'S zeal is, we doubt not, very honest. We have as little doubt that it is exceeding mischievous. But because he speaks out of the abundance of that zeal we are disinclined minutely to criticise the expression of political opinions to which it seems to have prompted him. As to Colonel VERNER, " that other Richmond" of the field, we may remark upon one, declaration incidentally introduced into his speech as strongly contrasting with the per sonal actsof those who assisted at the Enniskillen meeting; and of course Mr. WATSON himself. "I am not now speaking," said the Gallant Colonel (and we give him that full credit for the honesty of the sentim ant which is due to the assertion of a gentleman of high and unsullied character), "of those (Orange) processions. I have al ready expressed my disapprobation of them, because, unless I see them carried en, as they used to be, when the wealth and respectability of the country turned out to join them, it is Much better to ab stain from them altogether.' But they were never intended to convey the slightest cffence to any Portion of her MAJESTY'S subjects." This statement is very honourable to the Colonel, Who was pledged, as it were, by more than his public concurrence in the reso lution of the Legislature, to discourage and extinguish Orange processions. He was pledged by his emphatic and ready acquiescence in the previously expressed wishes of his benevolent • Sovereign, the late King WILLIAM IV. But how Colonel VERNER, with these opinions, can reconcile it to himself to assist in pay ing a public homage to Mr. WATSON for having assisted in a demonstration, heralded, signalised, and, so to speak, protected by the very processions of which the Gallant Officer disapproves, surpasSes any powers of reconciling inconsistencies with which we on this side the Channel are gifted. With the same humility we must presume that we are incapable of appreciating the process by which an Irish gentleman arrives at such startling conclusions, from admitted premises, as that which en ables Col. VERNER to declare that " Orange process ions were never intended to convey the slightest offence to any portion of her MAJESTY'S SUbj ects." We km ve a gentleman who was apt to examine his liability to get into scrapes of all kinds, by declaring that this or that "misadven ture never would have happened to him, if it had not been that he wore on the occasion a certain pair of Boot::, which always walked him into mischief." Doubt less, the deep and ranklirg insult which the great body of Roman Catholics in Ireland were accustomed to endure from the conduct of Orange processions, must, have arisen, after all, from semi unfortunate selection of wind instruments, drums, and fiddles, that had an irrepressible and " self acting" tendency to play " The Boyne Water," or " Croppies lie down l" We have accounts from Madrid to the Ist inst., but they are destitute of interest. The stock-brokers still 11,1 i out and refthed to transact any business on the Bourse. " To-day," says the Herald°, " the Bourse has presented the same aspect as for some days past. It has been opened, but not the slightest business has been done in any sort of securities." The only intelligence of the slightest interest in the Paris papers is the current report of the retirement of Msrshal SOULT, and the death of the celebrated ROYER COLLARD, in the 82d year of his age. " France," says the Jourual des Debuts., " has just lost one of her great ornaments, one of the men who have exercised the highest influence on the spirit of the age. 31. ROYER COLLARD died on the 4th in , t., at his estate at Chateau view:, near St. Aign%n, in the 82d year of his age. AL ROYER COLLARD had be , n President oft he Chamber of De puties, Member of the French Academy, and Professor of Philosophy at the College of France. M. ROYER COLLARD, accompanied by his lady, left Paris on the 19th of August, in a very feeble state. On the 29th he was attacked wi h fever. On the 31st Dr. ARDRAL, his -sun - il law, Madame ARDRAL, and grandson, repaired to Chateauvieux. •On the 3d inst.. M. ROYER COLLARD received the last sacrament, and on the following day he died, with great calmness and resignation, having're. tained the full use of his faculties until the last moment. If ever the countenance could be taken as the index of the mind, it might have been so in the case of ROYER COLLARD. His features bore the impress of calm thoughtfulness—his steady, clear eye, and his high ex pans:ve-foreh.ead, at once assured the spectator that lie was looking upon an intellectual giant. . As an orator, he was rather logical than imps,ssieued. Calm, deliberate, and clear—his oratory addressed rather to the than to the heart—he sought more to convince to arouse. He might almost be considered an incl tion of pure and passionless mind." The Constitutionnel publishes the following extra a letter relative to the retirement of the veteran shal. The event is extremely likely. He is now 76th year, his health has been in a declining star some time, and the obstinacy of Marshal BITGEA' persevering in his own views of policy with regal Algeria, has tended not a little to make him si office :—" A letter from Castres informs us that Marquis DE MORNAY has just arrived at Soul , If we believe reports which have obtained mud' deuce, M. DE MORNAY, who was attending the cil- General at Beauvais, has left that tow great haste, on receiving a pressing invitation the Minister of War. The old Marshal, who himself to be greatly tired of the struggles and di ties he has to stand, especially in Algeria, and vs moreover tormented by a chronic catarrh, again tal retiring ; but as to retire at his age is to renounce for ever, he will not, he says, come to such a deter; tion without consulting his family. We shall soon whether there be anything serious in this, or WA it be but the comedy that is played every year." Some importance is attached by the Journal des D to the manner in which the feast of ST. Louis waf. brated at Rome on the 25th of last month. That jot from the subjoined remarks, infers that there is a pi understanding between his HouNEss and Lola: IJIPPE with regard to the Jesuits : " At five o'clock in the afternoon the Pope arrived Church of St. Louis. Our Minister Pleapotentiat Rossi, agreeably to the established custom, 'stepped to open the door of the carriage of his Holiness, and tl him for the honour he deigned to confer on our Ili Church. The holy father paused an instant, and in and sonorous voice, so as to be heard by the crowd pressed around, said that it was with the greatest pleas, accomplished that pious duty, and that he would fee happy that the expression of his sentiments should veyed to the King of the French. After saying a pre; the altar of St. Louis, the Pope proceeded to the a! leaning on the arm of the Minister of • and conversing with him in the most manner. The kissing of the Pope's feet, and tbk sentation of the French residents in Rome, took shortly afterwards. This solemnity, in which his ID manifested in so visible a manner his affection and el( to France, produced a lively sensation at Rome, where regarded as a signal approbation and sanction of thl sures adopted with regard to the Jesuits of France. , also remarked, that at no former period had the Sacr ed lege attended in such numbers at this exclusively - feast. There were no less than eighteen Cardinals pi M. Rossi repaired, on the 26th, to the Palace of the V to thank the Pope for his visit to our church, and hi ness renewed to him the expression of his sentimei wards the King and the Royal Family of France." BALMASEDA, who distinguished himself as a in the service of Don CARLOS, died some daYf at Chagny, in Burgundy. Accounts from Bayoi nounce the arrival of the French Princes in the SI territory on the 3d inst. After visiting Biarritz Jean de Lux, they reached the bridge which France with Spain, which they crossed on foot, I panied by Count BRESSON, the Prefect of that n' ment, &c., and on reaching the other side they vo ceived by the Duke DE SAN CARLOS, Senors Ow; and ALDADIAR, and by General BARRENECREA, head of the troops, with due honours.

His second proposition is, that th e 0 0 9 wheels of the engines should be provided with three or 01 0' grooves capable of running on the rails to prevent the 1 01 from being thrown off in the case of any obstructio n, vi ol, causes the engine to " jump." By this means the engine_ so be kept in the right course till the train could be stopl,ja in many cases the accidents arising from the engin e . thrown off the rails would be avoided. oo • SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM FIRE-ARMS.--- i je o morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a serious eeplo occurred to Miss Amelia Philips, residing at Nort h tot, Lisson.grove.
