Oa the latter case, we cannot help arriving at the 1 cenclusion, that, in spite of all the naueeating affectation of military arrane,Tmentseind gradations of rank, ss hit h th, se police afflies always exhibit, this system of con stallinlary is a very vicious and imperfect one. When the under-constable tick charge of the money at four or five o'clock in the morning, why was it re tie lied to him by the upper-constable, instead of being c'o'y entered with ail particulars on the " sheet "—achnowledged is some proper printed form to the under-constable—and brought forward by the upper one (i. e., " the superior officer ") before the magistrate, on brining up the case for hearing some hours acterwards ? To return money under such cir cumstances was at least to subject it to new jeopardy, to the ultimate loss of the plundered seaman ; for this delinqu, at, GUY, of the y division, without dreaming of the einbezz!ernent he afterwards committed, might have innocen•ly lust it in the very first street brawl in which he might have been called upon to interfere on his way home. And then, what were the " superior officers" about, when they found that this " private," instead of returning from the ufilce straight to his inspector, and paying over the money, according to the "general orders " of the "service," did not appear at the station all day—to let the matter stand over till the " evening muster or parade," when he was first reported " not on duty ?" A little alacrity and management might surely have tracked the offender to his hiding place long before he bad changed or expended one of the .5/. Bank note 2, the property of the sailor? It is obvious to common sense that such a system of returning money found on the person of a prisoner to one of these offi cers, is to expose him to the double danger of tempting him to the commission of a crime—and cthe , s, among the lawless community through whose haunts he is obliged to move, to outrage and violence against himself, under the impression that he carries booty about his person during a certain por tion, at least, of the day. We find that an Inspector, DODD, said, " it was the duty of all constables to attend at the station-house after the disposal of charges with which they were concerned, to report the result of the examination, and to deliver up whatever property might come into their bands. This was always done w'llw' i any express directions from the inspector on At)" And why do there exist no such express direc tions? Is it thought that it would be considered indeli cate, forsooth, to the police-constables to issue such instructions, on the ground that they would imply a doubt of their possible susceptibility to the temptation of theft ? We are at a loss to imagine what case they have made out to be entitled to exemption from such ordinary precautions on the part of their supe riors, The prisoner, GUY, is stated to be " a young man of highly-respectable connexions. lie had been in the police force about six months, having been bought out of the army by his friends." We very much suspect that this statement suggests the true history of many other cases of police-constable delinquencies., There is too little vigilance exercised by the Commis sioners in ascertaining the moral character and qualifi cations of candidates for admission into their "corps ;" or too much importance ascribed to the smartness of their appearance, and, above all, to the circumstance of their having previously belonged " to the army," as the reporter phrases it. We stated on Saturday that the time was come fur settling the lunge agitated question of the corn-laws, and expressed a hope that another session would not be suf fered to pass without the adoption of measures for fieally setting it at rest Indeed. it was impossible to read the speches made at agricultural meetings, independent even of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S well known inclination, to come to any other conclusion Still it is gratifying to find that a new authority has been added to those which have already appeared— the authority of an active and beneficent legislator, one, it is true, who makes no pretensions to any know ledge of Cabinet secrets, but who, nevertheless, from his political principles and station in society, is entitled to the fullest credit—we mean Lord A Slim:Y. In a late address to his constituents, the electors of Dorsetsbire, his Lord ship says, "I will seize this occasion to touch the subject of the corn-laws, and the certain result of the present movement against them. It appears to me that their destiny is fixed ; and that the leading men of the great parties in the Legislature are by no means disin clined to their eventual abolition. The debates of last session have left no doubt on this head : both the can didates for power, and the occupants of it, approximated so much more closely than at any former period, that most of the hearers were induced to believe that their difference was less a matter of principle than a question of time." This coming from a strong supporter of these laws is sufficiently remarkable; but what follows is more remarkable still, as his evident the agriculturists themselves—we should rather say the landlords—are resolved to run a race with the League, and know their fate without delay. Now is the time to strike. Such another opportunity may never occur, and his Lordship, therefore, advises the landlords to consider in what way they can break the force of an inevitable blow. They can only do it in his opinion by offering terms for a gradual abo lition ; "for," says he, "you have, at this momen the power to offer such terms ; their is no certainty that you wiil retain it much longer--cur actual prosperity must come to an end ; and then .the wide and fearful pressure of commercial distress, with the hostility on the one side, and the indifference on the other, of the great political chiefs, will leave you, in an hour of especial difficulty, altog, ther without a refuge or resource." This is consolatory intelligence, and we may, from this as we.l as from other symptoms, regard the proposed change as the great question for the ensuing session. The state of the crops, and the certainty of importation of foreign grain, cannot fail to have given Sir R. PEEL great un easiness with regard not only to the currency, but the peace of the community. A large importation might drain the country of gold, and drive us to the ne cessity of again begging succour from our neigh bours. o,n the other hand, if prices continue high, and the half-starved Irish, not to speak of the poor classes in this island, are driven to despair by want, the danger may be still more ap palling, Ile is thus placed in a difficult position, and resti4 naturally he anxi, us to take every rational means to prevent, for the future, such a concurrence of un towaid circumstances. 'this question, we learn from vari,:us quarters, cccupit s above all others the att ntion of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and a de cision may be expected by the begineing of next month. We have little doubt of the result. It is said that the Duke and the Premier cannot agree on the course that should be adopted, and that a split of the Cabinet may be the consequence, but w e place no confidence in the rumour. The Duke knows how to obey as well as corn• tnand: ho has entrusted the reins of Government to Sir ItoBERT PEEL—he has elr ady yielded to his plea for conciliating Ireland, and he will not time rt him in a measure so intimately connected with his monetary system. and so essential to the existence of a Tory Go vernment. The declaration by the authorities and commanding officers representing England and France cf the blockade of all the harbours of the Argentine Republic, and the actual esta bli"tunent of that blockade as to the harbours of the Re public of Uruguay (the Monte Video State, or the "Banda Oriental"), in whose behalf we have intervened—the latter being directed against th, se ports in the vicinity of which General ORIBE'S Buenus-Ayrean army is engaged in active operations—will soon, we doubt not, bear fruits. TLe seizure of the Argentine squadron is an auspiciouS com mencement of a batter order of things for the outraged in terests Of humanity, the insulted nationality of all the flags of European civilization, and the wrongs of their commerce. But fur the very numerous people whom the political con vulsions of South America in the last twenty-five years have heaved into an agitated existence, this interposition by the two greatest nations of the world is probably fraught with moral influences, that, but for the very circumstances—un toward as they originally appeared—out of which it has arisen, would probably have slumbered, inactive, fur a cen tury or two yet to come. The remoteness of • those fine countries of the New World which, heretofore, were the wealthy colonies of Spain, has hitherto proved of fatal prejudice to the governed, whether under the mild despo'ism of their Spenish masters, or the fierce licentious ness of the dictatorships established by their native and re publican lenders in the name of liberty. So long as European opinion could be but verytardily and slightly brought to bear on the incidents a , tending their political progress, so tong they would have continued to manifest a reckless disregard of all the ordinary principles of international law and even of moral responsibility. The excitement of contending factions would have continued to absorb every other sentiment, and that sanguinary desolation which seems to be the native type cf South American energy, under all conditions of cir cumstances, and in the several zones over which its sphere of action is distributed, would still-have marred and neutra -1 lised all the bounties of PROVIDENCE and the productiveness of climate by internecine wars and insane and incessant re volutions. Steam, among its other triumphs, had already brou+ - ht its " disturbing forces" i ,to play. The remoteness of thcer position, and the meagreness of their relations with the 01 , 1 World were already becoming little more than his torical recollections to these States, when the insolent pre sumplit on of a military adventurer, drunk with success and blinded by his ambition, involved European subjects, their lives rald property, in the same violence which be hal ha bitue4ly applied to the citizens of Buenos Ayresland - of Monte Vi';l4o. The les.so/4 that will be taught by the planif9atatiun which this lawless policy ha 3 elicited at the hands of France and Ergland will not be readily forgotten by Resits or his pe-pl,-. They will learn to respect the political maxim which recogriscs the presence of the European power in the exhibition of its flag, and Poses himself may yet be signally instructed, that the governments of civilised states will sometimes vi,it tat delimpient chiefs, who have invoked, for their own bad purposes, the cut-throat aid of such in famous auxiliaries as his " Masorca Club," the same retri butive justice which municipal laws inflict for atrocious crimes on private offenders. Ere this we should imagine that the complete defeat which another portion of his forces has sustained at Santa Fe from General LOPES, aided by some half-disciplined Indian cavalry, will have completed the effect of the loss of his fleet. For our own parts, we trust that. when that national satisfaction shall have been afforded which it is the immediate object of the French and English diplomatic agents to compel, RoSAS himself shall be sub mittod to the searching examinations of a duly constituted tribunal, to ascertain to what extent, if to any, he himself has been compromised in the barbarous massacre of the nine English subjects composing the Scotch family residing in the immediate vicinity of Buenos Ayres, to which we alluded more particularly a few weeks ago, and in other of those excesses, perpetrated by the " Masorca," to which General O'BRIEN was so nearly becoming a sacrifice, and beneath which others of our countrymen, or European brethren, less fortunate than the General, have undoubtedly perished. In a merely commercial point of view, the re-establish- ment (f a pacific intercourse with the States upon the La Plata is an object of greater magnitude to Great Britain than some of our readers may perhaps suppose. By a reference to the Parliamentary Paper, of which we recently submitted a careful abstract, entitled "Exports and Imports" (P. P., sees. 1845, Ho. Comm., No. 651), we find the "Return for Mexico and the other States of Central and South America, exclusive of Brazil," consolidated under one head. But inasmuch as the leading articles or commodities of export and import are separately set out, it is not difficult to form a sufficiently accurate notion of the proportions we may ascribe to the trade with Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Taking the whole table for Mexico, &c., it results that the " aggregate" value of British and Irish produce and manufactures ex ported, last year, was 3,013,267/. In some of these exports the increase in five years—from 1840 to 1844 inclusive—is really astonishing. Brass and copper manufactures in the former year were to the amount of 4,9061. only; in the latter, 16,123/. Hardware and cutlery rose from 76,600/. to 143,6081. ; woollen manufactures, including yarn, from 541,3381. to 775,7671. The imports from the same countries, during the same interval, are, as usual, returned only as " quantities," with the rates of duty chargeable thereon. But these do not the less indicate a rapidly expanding and lucrative commerce. The imports of :Peruvian bark, which in 1840 were only 69,2671b5., in t 843 amounted to 303,6651b5., the duty being meanwhile lowered from 9s. 9id. to Is.' per cwt. The return for " Cochineal (Granilla and Dust),' independently of the interest attaching to the trade in that precious commodity, is too instructive an exemplification of the results of a wise reduction of import duties not to merit here our especial notice. In 1810 the duty was is. and a fraction for the cwt. of Cochineal and Granilla, and 19s. 7id. for the Dust; and the imports were 205,5501b5. In 1841, at same duties, cnly 67,9401b5, In 1842, 1843, and 1844, the duty being reduced to ls. and a fraction per cwt. on each, the imports were, severally, 259,9801b5., 421,7421b5., and 303,8901b5. Again, in 1840, the duty on coffee was is. 3d. per lb., reduced in 1842 . to fitid., and in 1844 to Gd. and a fraction. The imports in creased through each successive year, from 587 . 3531b5. to 8,093,6391b5. But we content ourselves for the present by merely pointing out in this manner what are the capacities of the trade with these States. Let us, in conclusion, look a little further, and see what they may be made by judicious negotiation. For more than a century past the policy of the Jesuits had gradually isolated the noble region of Paraguay (situated as to South America within boundaries more land locked than even those of Poland, as to Europe) from the approach of all foreign trade. As if Nature had not suf. ficientiy removed her by natural features and geographical position from all access by the ocean, the jealous vigilance of that remarkable tyrant, the doctor-dictator, FRANCIA (so graphically described in Mr. ROBERTSON'S admirable " Letters from Paraguay,") successfully established a species of frontier blockade for a full quarter of a century, without a single soldier, and with the most moderate Custoin-house establishment imaginable. The death of FRANCIA, two or three years ago, has demolished the more than Chinese seclu sion in which he managed to keep his territory. Its natural wealth, its medicinal treasures, its vegetable products, its mineral riches, are well knomn ; its peltry much less so than it deserves to be, for it abounds in animals that yield excellent furs. Its hides are also of first-rate quality. Connected by the mighty waters or the Parana, on the west, with the fine countries of old Upper Peru, now incor porated into the States of Bolivia—on the east by the Uruguay with Brazil, on the south by tributaries of the latter, which unite it, as it may be said, with the course of the mighty La Piata, it is not easy to exaggerate the bene ficial results to the trade of this country which a more ex tensive and carefully cultivated intercourse with Paraguay would secure. The first and indispensable step in the work of giving to such a trade a development far, very far beyond any it has ever yet attained, must be of curse to secure the free navigation of the Plata, and to establish permanent re lations f amity with the republics of which the cities of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres are now the respective capi tale. The ultimate means of giving permanency and con solidation to such a commerce, so as to elicit all its advan. tages to their full extent, will be the establishment of rail• ways, for which, we venture to affirm, few countries of America will be found to offer more numerous or profitable facilities than the vast and fertile plains of Paraguay. If she be but supplied with there lines of communication, her growth will be instantaneous from her dwarfed infancy of two centuries of demi-civilisation to the gigantic maturity of a magnificent and opulent dominion. It is somewhat extraordinary that the nearest portion of the Brazilian em pire, abutting on her eastern and north-eastern boundaries, is the meat captaincy or province of San Paulo, for the esta blishment of a railway through whose maritime borders a company has been for some time past successfully organising in London. It is thus that we may hope to see, ere long, in the veryheart of South America the most modern and useful of the arts of peace, avenging, in the n►btest sense of the term, an interesting frailly of the human race for the long continued ravages it has sustained through the aggressions of destructive wars and massacres. We have received Madrid Journals of the 11th and 12th inst. Those of the former are chiefly filled with particulars of the grand levee held in honour of her MAJESTY'S birth day, which was attended by at least thirteen hundred per sons. A general amnesty was expected to appear in the Gazette on the 12th inst. It was confidently stated at Madrid that General BnifirroN, notorious for his insulting and atrocious proclamations in Catalonia, had resigned. Others state that he had been dismissed, as his conduct had become so insufferable that many of the official authorities under him had refused to act. The Timpo states that the Company who had received the concession of the Madrid Iron Railway line had deposited 5,000,000 reels (50,000 L) in the bank of San Fernando, as a security for the fulfil ment of their engagements. The following extract of a letter, dated Cadiz, Oct. 6, appears in the Castellano:-"The felucca guards costa Jupiter• left this part last week, iu pur suit of a smuggling vessel which hoisted English colour,. The c.-Itninandant of the Jupiter, nevertheless, fired at the smuggler, whiolt suught refuge iu the Gibraltar waters, whence an English steamer immediately started in pursuit of the Spanish guards-costa; the latter was, however, fortunate. enough to reach the port of Cadiz.. Serious discussions have arisen on the subject between the governors of the two places, whicb,--ns usual, will turn to our shame." No transactions took place on the Bourse on the 11 th or 12th, The Paris papers contain a variety of intelligence, not without interest. We are glad to find from most of them that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has acted with great humanity towards the unfortunate persons engaged in the affair of Rimini, allowing them to traverse the country un molested and to embark at Leghorn. About a hundred of them had reached Marseilles, as will be seen from the follow ing account iu the Constitutionnel :—" The Post -office packet Eurotas, on her way from Malta, Naples, Civita Vecchia, and Leghorn, to Marseilles, has been driven into Toulon by stress of weather. Among her passengers were about a hundred Roman refugees, who, after laying down their arms, suc ceeded in.gairing the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. They are those who embarked at Leghorn with the assent of the Grand DUKE, who was unwilling to give them up to the Papal authority. The Eurotas went on to Marseilles, and, on reaching that port, the unfortunate refugees hoped they had found an asylum ; but they were immediately put into prison, and, according to a Marseilles letter of the 14th, have not been allowed to have any communications beyond it. Such a measure cannot be easily comprehended ; but it appears that, in these days of disavowals, the Prefect has felt that it would be most prudent for him to ask for instruc tions from Paris, and, accordingly, set the telegraph at work. It is said at Marseilles that the insurgents who embarked at Rimini have been cast by a storm on the Adriatic coast, and thus fallen into the hands of the Pontifical authorities. It is to be hoped that this report will not be confirmed." The Sad de Marscillts 'says the imprisonment is only a temporary measure, and adds that the towns of Satintuf; Chateaurous, and Loches, had been mentioned a s places to which they would be sent to reside. They arc chiefly young men of the working classes. Marshal :•30ULTI , ad arri ved at Pais in improved health. Im mediately after his 811 V al, the Doke DE M NTPENSI ea waited urent him, and shortly ef ern'ards the i'%;arsh:4l %tent to St. Cloud to pay his respects to the KING and Royal Family, where be at:ended a Cabinet Council, at which the KING pre sided. No additional intelligence had been received by the Government from Algiers, but a letter from Oran of the Bth instant, contains the f o llowing:— "A general rising has taken place in this province. Dieina Ghazaouat is sarrount'ed oe ell sides by the Arabs. That place, as well as Lalla Maghrina, has daily combats to sustain. All the outposts have been attacked in the hottest style. Abd el-.Kader is now, with considerable forces, at Riri Salado, sixteen leagues from Oran. General Lamor dere Les marchtd to his enc.iunter." Two days bter nevo, however, had been received from that which state that nothing new of any im portance had been received. Several of the journals continue their comments oa BUGEAUD'S letters, which those of the Oplositiol consider have greatly weak ened the Ministry. The Corwite;onnel, at the close of an article, thus sums up their misdeeds :—" The Government would not, sorry to turn pt.d?lio attention away from the true question—the immense fault which it has committed by a foolish nego:iatiou ; the blood of our soldiers, for which it is responsible; security, driven away for a length of time from one-half of Algeria; confidence lost; colonisation ren dered more dillicult ; new troops engaged; new sacrifices rendered necessary by fifteen m nabs' shameful negligence: Such is the terrible accusation which weighs on the Cabinet, and the reproaches of the Marshal are grave, particularly be cause they are in accordance with the cry of public opinion." some of the journals publish intelligence from Otaheite up to the 15th of April, which states that Capt. BRUAT had de clared Raiatea, the island to which the QUEEN had fled, in a state of blockade. The following extract from a letter ap pears in La 17otte, but no dates arc given : "The intrigues of the English continue, and are daily be coming more menacing. Admiral Hamelin has left Otaheite, in order to join the Elig!ish Admiral and negotiate with him. After protracted deliberations it has been agreed that the English and French squadrons shall in future act in concert. The English Admiral will come to Otaheite, and will salute the 'Protectorate flag,' in order to manifest the new and 'cordial entente' of the two nations. A summons will next be addressed, in the name of England and France, to Queen Pomare, with the view of making her immediately submit to the Protectorate. In the event of her resisting it, her deposi- . tion will be proclaimed, and France will be at liberty to em ploy her forces in bringing her to subjection. What new Majesty is, in virtue of this convention, to rule over Otaheite, is not said." The French Funds on Saturday were much depressed, chiefly by the intelligence from . London of a scarcity of money in the market, and the Bank raising its rate of dis count.

Still, however, there are in the minds of many very serious apprehensions entertained that the news is too good to be true, especially after a communication which appeared in the Leeds • lliercury of Saturday last., that the tariir had been altered to the prejudice t.f our trade. • At all events sanguine expecta— tions arc entertained that if any change has redly been tuale, it will not. be so nautical to Briti s h i n - terests as was so generally expecte d some ti me since. A rather severe fall h a s ttaken place in the quot a ti ons o f the Funds this morning, brought abo ut p rin cipally by sales of money stock. There was also.a considerable desire shown to Bear the prices by siilieniators for the Accounts. There is not any truth in the r e p o rt that has been circulate,! _rather freely in the City. that the Se rings' Banks depositors have withdrawn largely their cash for the purpose of making dep ,its upon railway shares ;,still money to a larger amount is required to pay dep- allot sits upon railway. . e nts, and this will k ee p t h e market tight for some time to come , no doubt, and the sat ii f44ery result will be produced of driving out of the market 1 all the trashy schemes for new railways that have been set ( afloat, and also put an end to the concoction of others. • Since the preceding remarks we're wiitten there has been a considerable rally in the Stock Market, amounting to not less than % per cent. Consols haVe recovered from 96% to 97 1 A for Money, and from 9634 to 97% for the Account. Every effort possible has been made to excite alann in the City, but with only temporary success. The attempt to de press the market tor Consols and other investments is made by parties who desire quotations to be very much lower, so that they may come in upon the most advantageous terms.

On the return of their Majesties and Prince Albert, his Royal High ness went out on a shooting excursion, accompanied by the Marquis of Worcester, the Earls of Denligh and Morton, and attended by the, Hon. Colonel Grey and Mr. Anson. The royal party returned to the Castle at two o'clock. The Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken for their morning rides and walks. In the afternoon all the Royal Family walked out. Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington arrived at the Castle, on a visit; to the Queen. _ _ Her Majesty and the Queen Dowager and Prince Albert rode out in a poney phaeton and four, attended by the Coun tess of Mount Edgecumbe, this afternoon. The Viscountess Barrington, the -Hon. Misses Kerr and Napier, followed in another carriage• and four; and the Earls of Denbigh and Morton, and the Hon.

The band of the Grenadier Guards was in attendance dur ing dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards at tended in the Castle. --- Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of the West India Colonies. THE THEATRES. HAYMARKE2". The Lady of Lyons was revived at this theatre last even ing, for the debilt of Helen Faucit and Anderson, who have been engaged for twelve nights. As neither of these artistes have appeared in London for some time, the public curiosity was excited, and the house was well filled before the rising of the curtain. Helen Faucit, who appeared to be all the better for the change of air and change of scene which she- has enjoyed in her somewhat lengthened provincial excursions, acted the part of Pauline as she alone can act it. She was the original Pauline, and although many others have attempted the part, and have acted it well, too, yet none have approached Helen Faucit. Her reception was a glorious one, and she never acted better than she did last night.• Anderson was the Claude Melnotte. He has been vastly improved by his practice in America. He has acquired greater confidence in himself; and if he gives him self fair play, he will become, not only first of the s,:zond-rates, but a firsi.rate actor. It was eviilent, in his acting last night, perhaps too evident, that he had taken Macready for his model, but on the whole, his Claude Mrinotte is superior to Macready's—there is more energy, more improvisation, if we may be allowed the term, in his acting, than in Macready's. In the acting of Macready it is evident, painfully evident, that every atti tude, every intonation, is the result, not only of study, but of almost calculation--he has not yet attained the highest reach of art, the ars velure artern. Now, with Anderson, the ef fects seem more the result of the inspiration of the moment; the y burst more suddenly upon theaudience. and appear to be less the result of calculation ; besides, his youthful appearance gives him a great advantage overhis elder competitor. The play was very well cast as regards the other characters, and Mr. Stuart, who appeared as Beauseant, in consequence of the ilness of Howe, made a great deal of a very mediocre part. Anderson and Helen Faucit were called for at the conclusion, and received with loud applause.

It is at all times a difficult task to give the plot of a ballet, and when that billet is semi-burlesque, the difficulty is greatly increased. We are, however, in the present instance, relieved from our diffi culty, Weause, although this ba let is borrowed from the French, it is. after all, but a payingus back our own, for Le Diable a Quatre is only a ballet version of the old English story of Jobson the cobbler, and his wife Nelly ; and in this in stance Wright is the Jobson, here called Mazourki, and transformed from a cobbler.to a basket-maker, and his wife is Madame Celeste. The great lord with a termagant wife is en acted by Mr. Braid, and the termagant lady herself finds an excellent representative in Miss Woolgar. The change of wives is brought about by the instrumentality of a magician, who is aided by certain fairies; and this machinery enables the adapter to introduce several pretty dances and some beautiful scenic effects. As a spectacle it is magnificent. The music by Adolphe Adam is pretty and appropriate. The costumes are magnificent; and Wright and Munyard, Madame Celeste and Miss Woolgar, aided by Paul Bedford, act and dance admirably. Mr. Selby himself, too, as a maitre-de-ballet, contributes his quota of burlesque, and, in getting up the piece, he has managed to amalgamate his fun and his finery in such judicious proportions, that he has pro duced a very laughable farce and a very splendid spectacle at one and the same time. The house was crowded to suffo cation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The sale of The Baron to Mr. E. R. Clark, and the damag ing influence of the change of ownership and the expected change of stables on his position in the market, we mentioned in our last. Some warm discussions we hear took place in consequence at the West-end, and it was obvious yesterday at the Corner that the sale had created a very unfavourable im presion, insomuch that, up to five o'clock, it was impossible to Fay what The Baron's price was, or whether, in fact, he was in the betting at all. Seven to one was then taken in fifties, and we believe at that figure one or two parties were disposed to invest. Shortly after Mr. Clark entered the room, and addressing the members, informed them that he had bought The Baron of Mr. Watts, and that he had given " a fortune" ' fur him, but that as he had neither laid against or backed him for a shilling, he should not start him unless 12,0001. to I,ooel. was laid hint, and adding that he was prepared to put down the 1,000/. Mr. Clark did not enlighten his hearers as to who will in future be The Baron's trainer, but he intimated patty clearly that he should do as he liked with his own, and that his proceedings would not be go verned by any excessive tenderness tor others. After this amusing scene had terminated, G and 7 to 1 was laid to four cr live hundred pounds against The Baron, and at 6 to I, layers, he closed. This was not the only "feature." Early in the afternoon, Mr. Greville begod it might be distinctly and publicly understood that he had not, in the least, made up his mind whether he should start Alarm or not, that he had not betted a shilling about him either 'one way or the other, and that the probability was he would not run, that the public might now do as they liked about backing his horse, but if he (lid not start they must nut complain. Mr. Greville, we are informed, adopted tl.is step in consequence of several parties, amongst them sonic of the anti-Baronites having, at their own risk, backed Alarm so heavily, in short, literally•' skimmed " the market, that neither himself nor his friends were able to get on upon anything like fair or reasinable terms: The consequence of this declaration was •to send Alarm to a nominal quotation of 9to I. The excite ment that prevailed throughout the afternoon made it more than ordinarily difficult to tix the prices of the other horses in betting; our list., however, will be found pretty nearly the mark, and we need only add to it, that the most promi nently in demand were Wolf-dog, Chertsey, Wee Pet, The Cobweb co't, Titmouse, Croton Oil, and Semiseria, all at im proved prices.

SPECIAL TRIP ON THE CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. Yesterday a p..F.cial trip took pli,c6 on Ihis line of railway, preliminary to its opening for public acconano dat:or, in order to afford the friends of the directors an opportunity of testing the ataiospheria principle of impulsion. After partaking of a wry handsome cold collation provided by the Company, in the long room at the London-bridge station, the directors and their frien:ls left by a spacial train at live minutes belcre two o'clock, and arrived at the Dartmouth Arms station in about fourteen minutes. The train, consisting of ten carriages, including the piston carriage, and weighing above 50 tons, was then placed upon the atmospheric tube, and instructions ha% ing been communicated by means of the electric telegraph to the stationary engines at the Jolly Sailors and at Croydon, the carriages were set in motion at Precisely ten minutes past two. The speed on first leaving the Dartmouth Arms was twelve miles, increas ing during the progress to 18, 23, 32; 40, and 50 miles an hour respectively, dividing the whole distance of live miles into six periods. The whole distance was accom , plished in eight-and-a.half minutes. The average spt•ed was upwards of 30 miles per hour. After waiting at the Croydon station about half-an hoar, the train returned to the Dartmouth Arms, at an average of 28 miles an hour, the distance being accom plished in about ten-and-a-half minutes. It must be re collected that this was not so much an experiment of speed as an exhibition of the practicability of the prin ciple. After remaining a few minutes at the Dartmouth Arms the party returned to London. We could not help observing the very etriking difference in the oscil lation of the locomotive train as compared with that on the atmospheric line, the balance being immensely in favour of the latter. FLANDERS MA IL. BRUSSELS, OCT. 16.—The treaty between the Nether. lands end Belgian Government for the exchange of the archives of the two provinces of Limburg, has been rati fied by the two Governments, and the ratifications were exchanged yesterdsy. The whole negotiation being ter minated, nothing remains but to convey the papers from Maestricht to Hass:lt, end then from Hasseit to Maestrich t. The Minister of Finance has just published a state meat of the receipts of the (xcise and other indirect taxes in the first nine months of the year 1845, com pared with that of the corresponding months of 1814:- 1845 55,648,573,11 1844 53,726,151,35 Increase in 1845........... 1,922,421, 6 , . OR examining the elements of which this increase is composed, we must freely confess that it does not come from the taxes. We have on the iron railway an increase of 902,96111 95 cents. This is not a tnx. On salt there is an increase of 1,175,0631:, but this is not in conse quence cf an increase in the c"nsumption, but only of a difference in the time of payment introduced by a late law. The customs present an increase of 672.71 V.; bet on the other hand, there is a decrease of 895,3301. on sugar. The average price of wheat in the Brussels market yesterday fell from 23f. 36e. to 22f. 46c. per hectolitre. Rye fell still more—viz, from 171. 53c. to 16f. 12c. BRUSSELS, OCT. 17.—The ppulation of Brussels in creased last year by 1,858 SOULS. On the Ist of January this year the amount of population w • as 118,113, exclu sive of the garrisAt and the pupils of the military school. BERLIN, OCT. 9.—Letters from St. Petersburgh an nounce that an ordinance is shortly expected, by which the slight boundary line which still s.parates PolaW from Russia will be abolhhed, and that kingdom cowl pletely incorporated with the Russian empire. On the Ist of January, 1846, the line of custom-louses will be broken up, and all the productions of tuland he iin ported duty free into Russia, and vice rersa. • This mea sure will also be advantageous to the manufactures of both countries. Poor Poland, which has suffered reverely in its manufactures by the revolution of 1830, may con sider this infringement of the independence guaranteed to it by the Congress of Vienna rather as a benefit than the contrary. It is added, that the Emperor intends that the great iron railway between St. Petersburgh and Moscow shall not only have a branch to Warsaw, but ala he extended to ;Odessa, so that the produce and manufactures of Poland may have a communication with the Caspian and the Black Sea. TEXAS-SLAVERY. The following resolutions, introduced by Governor Run nels, ware adopted by the Convention on the 29th ult.:— " Resolved—That the committee on the general provisions of the constitution be instructed to inquire into the expe ' diency and propriety of incorporating in the constitution the following provisions:— " SLAVES.-1. The Legislature shall have no power to pis laws for the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owners, or without paying their owners, previous to such emancipation, full equivalent for the slaVes so emanci pated. They have no power to prevent immigrants to this state from bringing with them such persons as arc deemed slaves by the laws of any one of the United• States, so long as any person of the same age and description shall be con tinued in slavery by the laws of this state; provided that such person or slave be the bond f ide property of such immi grants; and provided also, that laws may Le passed to Ku hibit the introduction into this state of slaves who have committed high crimes in other states or territories. They shall have full power to oblige the owners of slaves to treat them with humanity, to provide for them necessary food and clothing, to cbstaiu from all cruelties to them, and in case of their neglect or refusal to comply NViih the requisition of such laws, to provide, by law, for the sale of such slave or slaves, for the benefit of the owner or owners. " 2. In the prosecution of slaves for crimes of a higher grade than petit larceny, the Legislature shall have no higher power to deprive them of an impartial trial by petit jury. " 3. Any person who shall maliciously dismember or de prive a slave of life, shall suffer such punishment n 8 would be inflicted in case the like offence had beets committed on a free white person, and on the like proof; except in ca..e of in surrection of such slave."—llintghtoa Telegraph. BATII.—We are informed that the Rev. W. Jar, minister of Argyle Chapel, has recently met with an acci dent which is likely to confine him to his room for some thne.—Somerset County Herald. Tuk: kliavFsT.—Thcugh the weather has riot been uniihrml v favourable during the present week. we have had several eine harvest days, and a good deal of the C orn that was in stock in the fields in this and the neighbouring counties has been secured—we tear, not in very good condi tion, but we hope not essentially damaged. it would pro • bablv not be an over-estimate to say, that rot less than a tenth of the corn grown north of the * Humber is yet exposed to the hazsrds of the weather, so that the deficiency already ascertained to exist in the harvest may be still farther in creased. Beans would also suffer from wet weather. Potato gathering for the winter supply will soon be general should the weather, on the other hand, be dry; at ad events, it cannot safely be delayed beyond the Ist of November. The promise of this root in Yorkshire and Lancashire is still good. It is not improbable, from the result of obsesvations which have been made, that the disease will be found most extensive on ill-drained soils.—Leeds Mercury. GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE.—Dttfing the past week, we have not had eo much excitement in this trade as in the course of the week prior. The market of late has been operated on mercurially, according to the state of the weather. This is owing to almost all the large transae tions at present reported being speculative, in anticipation of an extensive demand, based, however, in a great mea sure, on the result of the harvest being favourable: October 9:11, the market heavy—no sales—neminally 955. cash. 10th, sales to-day at 95s , but closed heavy. 11th, the market firmer, sales at 925. 6i1.; buyers at this, but. few sellers. 13th, few sales to-day; sellers at from 925. fid. to 955., but few buyers. Sales made founders at 90s. 3 ins. 14th, sellers at 925. 6d. ; bat we do not hear of any trans actions above 925. We are aware that some dealers are open to buy largely at advanced prices on time—say four or six months' bills; but we quote needed transactions. The price this day is 925., nett cash.—Glasgow Notional. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE BAILWAT.—Gre at numbers of the labourers who have been employed on this railway, especially at Slop and its vicinity, are leaving fir the Caledonian. A great cry for workmsn having been rained, they anticipate high wages will be given. Saturday last was the monthly pay-day, and for some Miles on eaclt side of the Shap not a dozen men have resumed their work ; some disputes between the sub-contractors and the labourers having taken place, the o .epar t u re of many of the l a bourers for the Caledonian has been delayed in co nsequence; and during the past week drun ken brawls, fights, aud scenes of the !nest riotous description have been hourly occurring.— Carlisle Journal, C ittrrloN. -- DISEASED POTATOS.-011 Saturday last the police-officers of this city seized two cart loads a potatoes which were exposed for sale in our market, as " unfit for human food." The owners were brought before the mayor and other magistrates at the Town-hall, by when the potatoes were ordered to be forfeited, and the first offender fined 20s.
