" In this work we have a connected biography, commencing with his birth in 1720, and ending with his death in 1788, of an individual, whose daring enterprise, singular adventures, and affecting trials, have been the theme of poetry and romance in so many various forms, that there are few personages more familiar to the public mind. The volumes before us are a valuable accession to our histo rical literature. One cause why no biography of the Pretender has been hitherto undertaken may be found perhaps in the fact that, until lately, the materials for such a work were scarcely attainable. .Recently, however, much valuable and authentic information has been placed within the reach of the biographer. Of this information Mr. Kiose has made diligent use, and skilfully blended It into a continuous narrative of great interest."—John Bull. THE IVEATIIER.—SuN OFFICE, JUNE 11.

On the formation of the Bristol and South Wales Junction Rail way Company, in April last, the Directors requested their engineers to survey the country on the Monmouthshire side of the Severn, with a view to ascertain the most eligible line for a railway to Mon mouth, as that town and district would not be conveniently connected with Bristol by any of the railways then projected. Various circum stances delayed their report, and during the interval a scheme, appa rently of a more extensive character, has been brought forward— via., one for a railway from Bristol to Hereford, with a fixed bridge across the river Severn, at the Aust Passage. After the fullest consideration, the Directors consider that the announcement of this project ought not to alter the course they had Intended to pursue, of providing the public with a mode of tra velling from Bristol to Monmouth suited to the character of the coun try, and to the surmountable difficulties incident to a large navigable river. They can see no reason to expect that the Lords of the Admi ralty (whose sanction the recent Land Clauses Consolidation Act has rendered necessary when a railway is to be carried over a tidal river), will look on a bridge across the estuary of the Severn, where it is nearly a mile and a half in width, with greater favour than they have lately shown with regard to one where the same river is only six hundred yards wide, and is not navigated by large vessels ; and from long experience in railway business, the Directors are convinced that no adequate revenue for an outlay of two millions upon forty eight miles of country, possessing no peculiar resources, can justly be anticipated. They have carefully examined into all possible sources of traffic ; and though they are of opinion that a gross income might be pro duced, of about two thousand pounds per mile, per annum, which would yield a fair return on the cost of a railway connecting Chep stow and Monmouth, as a link in the general railway scheme for that district, they believe that no person acquainted with railway statistics can justly anticipate an additional net revenue of Five per Cent. upon one million pounds, the smallest sum at which the bridge can be estimated. It should be recollected that many years must elapse before such a stupendous work across so rapid a navigable river of such depth and width, and with the greatest rise of tide known in the world, cou:d be completed, even if subscribed capital for such a purpose could be relied upon, and also that ere long the distance between Bristol and the north, and north west of England will be so much lessened by the lines of railway now before Parliament and the public, that sixteen miles will be the utmost saving in travelling from tristol to Liverpool via Monmouth, while to Manchester, the rail ways via Gloucesti r must still afford the most direct communication. Whenever two routes of equal facilities are open to the public, the proprietors of either ought not to anticipate more than half the travelling, and therefore the Directors believe that any expectation of monopolising the long traffic between Bristol and Liverpool, or the adjacent districts, is fallacious. For these reasons the project for a bridge across the Severn, and for the 48 miles of railway, to be con nected with it (requiring a gross revenue of 150,0001. per annum to pay only live per cent, upon the present estimate of two million pounds), can never be regarded favourably in a financial view by any parties who inquire into the average receipts per mile resulting from railway or bridge traffic. _ _ The Directors have felt it necessary to make these observations on the undertaking referred to as an explanation why they t till pro ceed with their own plans precisely as they would have done had such a scheme never been announced. They have the great satisfaction to state, that the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway, together with the improvements at the New Passage Ferry, and the proposed extension line to Mon mouth, will be constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel, and they are confident that the inconveniences of a ferry will be mo dified far beyond public expectations. When the Severn is reached by the Railway from Bristol and crossed at the New Passage, the traveller will be in the direct route to Newport, Cardiff, and South Wales on the one side, and on the other to Chepstow and Monmouth, from which latter town various lines are about to be constructed to Hereford, Shrewsbury, North Wales, Chester, Liverpool, &c. The Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway was promoted to maintain the very ancient connexion between Brist and the Prin cipality, and the proposed extension of it to 3onmouth will have a similar tendency in reference to the towns of Chepstow and Mon mouth, and the districts in which they are situated. The Directors therefore believe that it will receive the strong sup port both of the Shareholders in the Bristol and South Wales Junc tion Railway, as a protection of :heir interests, and of theinhabitants of So,:th Wales and Monmouthshire, as a certain and early means of securing railway communication with Bristol and the districts to be reached by the various railways connected with that city. It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company for the extension line to Monmouth than to alter the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to b, taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter with the assent of their respective Proprietors. __... . _ _ The an.u-cboiaci. ante Bristol and South WalesJunctlon Railway Company will be entitled to an interest in this Company, and there fore such of them as may be applicmnts are requested to state the number of Shares they already bold in the former.

Lord PORTMAN gave notice that, on Thursday, he would introduce a Bill to amend the law of landlord and tenant in England. The report of the Commissioners on the Crimina Law was laid on the table. The order of the day for the House going into Cora. mittee on the Maynooth Bill having been read, The Duke of LEINSTER defended the College against the aspersions which had been cast on it. The Earl of CLANCARTY moved the committal of the Bill that day six months, but after a short discussion withdrew hi s mot i on, and the Bill passed through Co ttee. , Lord STANLEY gave notice that he should move the second reading of the Landlord and Tenants (Ireland) Bill on Friday, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Lord PALMERSTON gave nctice, for the Bth of July, of a motion for the production of the evidence taken before the mixed Commission of Inquiry into the best means of suppressing the Slave Trade. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice, for the same day, of a motion for an address to the Crown to reward the ser vices of the officers, seamen, and marines engaged in the 'Ate war in China, and Mr. T. DuNcomßE gave notice of a motion, for the same day, for the repeal of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill. Mr. VILLIERS then brought forward his motion on the subject of the Corn-laws. The Hon. Gentleman concluded a long and eloquent speech, replete with va luable statistical information, showing the baneful effects produced by the present prohibitive system of corn-laws, by moving— " That this House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of considering the follow ing resolutions : " That the corn -law restricts the supply of food, and pre vents the free exchange of the products of labour. " That it is therefore prejudicial to the welfare of the country, especially to that of the working classes, and has Proved delusive to those for whose benefit the law was de signed. " That it is expedient that all restrictions on corn should be now abolished." Mr. OSWALD seconded the moti,,n• A very animated debate followed, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. Christopher, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Buck Mr. M. Philips, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Bright, Mr. S. O'Brien, Dr. Bowring, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bankes, Lord John Russell, Sir R. Peel, "and Lord Howick; after which the House divided, and the motion was negatived by a majority of 132. The result of the debate on Mr. VILLIERS' motion was only what might have been anticipated with such a House of Commons, and a Ministry not yet prepared for further change ; but, nevertheless, though the division was adverse, the speeches of all the leading men furnish grounds of consolation for the poor, and hold out the brightest prospects. The triumph of argument was all on one side, and the very admissions made by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM showed that they fought against their will. According to the speech of the Prime Minister, the abolition of the corn-laws was only a question of time, for, having declared himself an advocate for free trade, he could not defend the law on the ground that it was a protection to any particular interest. On what ground, then, could he defend it? Because a sudden change might be injurious not only to land owners but to the agricultural labourers. In fact, the only difference between Mr. VILLIERS and Sir ROBERT PEEL was, that the latter would do in time what the former required should be done at once. This is the greatest victory yet obtained by the opponents of the corn-law. Messrs. COBDEN and Co. have opened the eyes of the farmers, and of many landlords also-- they have at last opened the eyes of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and he only waits his opportunity. Between conviction and completion the period generally is very short, and one bad season would set the question at rest. The crisis is already approaching. The price of cattle for food is enormously high, and notwithstanding the scores of bullocks imported weekly from Holland, and articles of consumption furnished by other countries, the new tariff, which caused such awful consterna tion, has turned out a nonentity. The prices of cattle and corn mutually affect each other ; the one cannot rise without raising the other. Grain too has been rising on the Continent, and symp toms altogether conspire for the accomplishment of this act of justice to the manufacturing, mercantile, and other important classes of this great commercial country. But let not these considerations damp the ardour of the corn-law repealers. Now is the time for them to work more vigorously than ever—the prize is within their reach, and nothing but apathy and sloth can sate it from their grasp. dims embrace a length altogether of 8,080 English miles, or 3,250 leagues. Of these, the share for Ireland is 1,490 miles, or 563 leagues. This enumeration does not comprise the thousands of pro jects of the same kind brought forth by the ardour of capitalists. And all this is passing in a country which already possesses the most magnificent lines of railroad, so that those which now excite this fever Cannot be principal lines, but mere branches, bearing the same proportion to those now laid as the main roads bear td the vicinal or cross roads in France." The contract with Messrs. MACKENZIE and Co., for laying down the rails on the Orleans and Tours line, had been signed, and ft was understood that the railway would be opened by the Ist of October, 1843.

There have been no arrivals to-clay bringing later news, if we except the intelligence from Buenos Ayres, and which is rather too favourable to the Argentines to deserve implicit credit. At all events, however, the Montevideans appear lately to be playing a losing game in respect to their warlike operations. The proceedings before the Parliamentary Committees on Railways continue to excite a lively degree of interest, and the sudden check to the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill has again revived in a slight degree the hopes of those who ad vocate a direct and independent line to York. It would seem, however, that as the check ',,0 the Cambridge Bill is not at all the consequence of any impression against the merits of the line, there ::an be no valid ground for parti cular confidence a s to the passing of the York.

The normal error of all his legislation on this question con sists in arguing from an abuse to an original vicious ness of principle. But the very nature of abuse, in the abstract, implies the perversion of a principle good and salutary in itself. If we admit to Sir ROBERT PEEL to the full extent of his overcharged statement all the evils he ascribes to occasional over-issues of paper, the aggre gate of whose circulation greatly exceeds that of the bonii fide property which it professes to represent, our admission will add nothing to his deficient proof of the evils of that monetary system with which his Bills of 1819, 1823, and 1844, have so fatally interfered. If the same medium—a paper circulation—in the days of ex cessive speculation, prior to 1819, was, in its less substan tial branches, productive of the mischief that Sir ROBERT is so fond of multiplying in kaleid ascopic variety, and every imaginable tint and colour, till he has almost per suaded himself that they are interminable (although it is his own hand which, all the while, is shaking backwards and forwards the few ingeniously disposed, but worth less, fragments which produce the specious cheat to the eyes of the uninitiated); if the same medium also bore the empire in triumph through the enormous pressure of the last war, and laid deep and broad the productions of our present commerce and our power of accumulating capital—is the greater and more beneficial operation to be put out of view—wiped away from the record—in order that the prejudicial, but infinitely lesser, operation may be brought out with so much the greater effect ? There is neither truth nor equity—statesmanship nor logic—in these perpetual attempts of Sir ROBERT PEEL to exaggerate the occasional mischiefs, and to erase the general benefits, that are produced under such a system as he has superseded in England and Wales. It must be palpable to the conviction of every candid mind, that had we undertaken the wars which raged from 1803 to 181.5 under such a monetary system as we have now, of gold and paper convertible into gold on demand, this country would have been a province of the French em pire. National bankruptcy must have inevitably over taken us at a very early period of that enormous conflict. England must have succumbed in a struggle in which she could not, and would not, fall back on such frightful resources. Whether the Pre mier has been, in his own person, at any time, a sufferer by the over-issues of private banks we do not know, and have no care to inquire. The bitterness of his remarks on Monday night on the fearful conse quences he had witnessed some years ago, as arising out of the failure of some banks in the west and south of Ireland, might, however, provoke some surmises. We are far more tempted to ask what has been the amount of personal advantage derived by himself or his con nexions from the establishment of that gold standard of currency to which he clings with a tenacity regardless alike of logic and experience. When a gentleman so well acquainted with the principles of commerce and the elements that ensure the success of mercantile enter prise, so constantly talks not "of green fields," but of the horrors of over-trading in merchandise and over-issues of paper, we cannot help surmising a private, personal, interested, all-sufficing reason in the back ground for such tenacity of purpose. No man knows better than the Premier that it is of the first importance to a country that its absolute capital or property should be rendered active and circu lating by an adequate representative capital in money of some kind —paper as well as metal—that nothing like such an adequate representative of bond fide, but un employed, property does exist under his own scheme of currency, in England—and yet ha insists on a principle, the convertibility of paper into gold, which can never work without the destructive and crippling limitations of which we speak, till the gold bullion of this country and of all the circulation of Europe be multiplied at least thirty-fold. No man knows batter than the same [lon. Baronet that the soul of commerce is freedom of action—that its vitality is identified wis:n the security of its own rights of opinion as well as, action, and, there fore, that speculation is no more tlian the unrepressed ex pansion of that principle, the unfettered exercise of those rights. To seek to extinguish over -trading or excessive speculaticos, the limits and lines necessary for the definition of which no man has ever yet at tempted to draw, is about as idle as to attempt the di .. .covery of a means of maintaining the respiration of the lungs without oxygen, merely because it is pos sible to combine that essential vital principle with others destructive of life, and that such combinations now and then accidentally develop themselves under disastrous and very fatal circumstances ; and yet Sir ROBERT has borne his pseudo-currency " standard " in triumph through England and Wales ; has exhibited it within the limits of Scotland, over which, as well as Ireland, it it is destined soon to float as " wide unfurled" as it is now in England, and with the same calamitous results. The gentlemen of Ireland are as sensible to the danger as those of Scotland, however tardily, tkey have shown themselves to be. On Monday night Mr. Poem; Sir R. FERGUSSON, Mr. REDINGTON, Lord CLEMENTs, Mr. WYSE, and Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, successively ad vanced, with all the authority of their local knowledge, experience, and personal character, most conclusive argu ments against the Banking Bill (Ireland). They were not successful. The evil day, we fear, must come, and then—woe to those who will have incurred the responsibility of invoking it Madrid journals of the 3d inst. have been received. No official announcement of the abdication of Don CAnLos had appeared in the Gazette, but several of the papers comment on it ala matter of fact, though of little importance. The Eco del Conunercio states that Queen CHRISTINA was about to present to the POPE a crozier of great value, and another journal says she has already sent to his Holiness a tiara, valued at 4,0001. The Government, it was said, had forwarded from Valencia its ultimatum to the Court of Rome, with in structions to the Spanish Ambassador to demand his pass ports unless the proposed terms were accepted. The Funds continued to fall. On the 3d the Three per Cents. closed at 3li for cash, and 328 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 211 for cash, and 22 at 60 days; and the Debt, without Interest at 71 for the 9th of July. The French Chamber of Deputies on Monday commenced the discussion on the budget of expenses for 1846, when speeches were made by MM. LEDRU ROLLIN, Ducos, LAROCHEJAQUELIN, and others, but they excited no interest, and the general discussion was closed. Several Members adverted to the Bill for converting the Five per Cent. Stock, which had been resisted by the Chamber of Peers, and M. BINCAN reminded the Finance Minister that lie had pledged himself to bring forward a measure next session, should circumstances permit, for reducing that Stock. The Finance Minister said his opinion had not at all been changed by the decision of the other Chamber.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. STANDING ORDERS. The Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lords re.assem. bled this day at one o'clock, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair. The following unopposed cases were taken by their Lordships:— The North British Railway, the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton Railway, the Kendal and Windermere, the Southampton and Dor. chester Railway, and the Yarmouth and Norwich Railway. The Bills went through, and their Lordships adjourned till one o'clock on Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP A. SOUTH EASTERN LINE. The Committee on meeting this morning at twelve o'clock, re sumed the consideration of the above line, when Mr. MERREWETHER was about to put in as evidence, several letters from the Board of Ordnance, but agreed to withdraw them for the present. Captain Charlwood, R.N., superintendent of traffic on this line, was called and examined with regard to a rise in the charges for the carriage of goods and parcels on this line, which he said had originated in a mistake. Mr. Ellis, a shareholder of the South-Eastern line, was called to prove certain proceedings at a meeting called with reference to the proposed line. Mr. Bennet, also a shareholder in this company, was examined with reference to the same subject. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP FF. The Committee met again this day, at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 7, Lord Ashley, Chairman. EDINBURGH ELND NORTHERN LINE. The parties having assembled, The CHAIRMAN said, that as Mr. Walker, the Government engineer, had been alluded to in the course of the evidence adduced by the opponents of the Bill, that gentleman could, at the option of the parties, be examined, for the purpose of replying to that part of the evidence which questioned the general construction of Granton Pier. Mr. CLARKE, for the opponents, had no objection to hear an ex. planation from Mr. Walker. Mr. WHITMAN would certainly object to Mr. Walker being now examined by the promoters, as the opponents had closed their case, and had no opportunity of replying to any new feature of the case at issue. He would not, however, object to a simple expla. nation, so far as Mr. Walker himself, as a professional man, was concerned. Mr. Walker was then called, and he having explained the plan relating to the pier, Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS commenced his reply to the whole case for the promoters. The Learned Sergeant went through the evi dence seriatim pro and con, and after having explained the general course of the line, and the great advantage it would confer upon the districts which it would traverse, concluded a most argumenta tive and convincing address by calling upon the Committee to pass the preamble of the Bill. (LEFT BITTING.) GROUP GG. SCOTCH RAILWAYS. GLASGOW DIS TRICT. The Committee met this morning to consider the case of the opponents to the GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. The morning aas chiefly consumed by a mere technical objet. tion, urged by Mr. Austin on the part of the opponents, and de. fended by Mr. Sergeant Andrews on the part of the promoters, on the point that the level was erroneously described in the sections with reference to the datum line. The Committee decided that the objection might be proved by evidence, and Mr. AUSTIN called Mr. Collie and Mr. Kyle, surveyors of Glasgow, who stated that they had levelled the line, and at the point of junction with the Glasgow and Ayr line found that the section was in error, by 5 feet 5 Inches. Mr. Vignolles, C. E., corroborated the evidence of the other witnesses. (LIM eiTTINS.) GROUP KK LIVERPOOL AND EVRY LINE. The Committee resumed at the usual hour, Sir C. Lemon in the chair. At the commencement of the proceedings it was formally an nounced that a compromise had been entered into between the promoters of the Liverpool and Bury line and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, by which the difficulties regarding the sta tions and tunnels at Liverpool would be obviated, and also that the line would deviate so as not to interfere with the factory of the Messrs. Gray. The precise nature of the compromise will be an nounced to-morrow morning. Mr. Wrurrsis appeared in support of the Haig branch, which was left undecided upon by the Committee, and which is petitioned against by several landowners. It had been attempted to show (observed the Learned Counsel) that the line was made for the sole benefit of Lord Balcar. ras, but such was not the case. The line was devised for the be nefit of several colliery and mine-owners, Messrs. Halliburton, Thickness, Lee, Squires, and Lamb amongst others, men exten sively engaged in the business; besides it should be recollected that it had been proved by the most satisfactory evidence that the line would pass through the richest part of one of the finest coal fields in that part of England. In fact, there were 18 or 19 mines upon which the line touched. Mr. SMITH said he appeared for Mr. Walmesley, through whose property the Haig branch passed. There were a large number of landowners along the line, who would be inconvenienced by it, and who dissented, but Mr. Walmesley was the only petitioner. The CHAIRMAN, after some deliberation, said the Committee had agreed that that portion of the project called the Haigh branch should be struck out of the schedule. Mr. WILKINS said he appeared on behalf of the Manchester and Bolton Railway proprietors to oppose the Patricroft branch. The branch was unnecessary, and its only object was to save three miles in distance on the Liverpool and Manchester line. It must be made at a very considerable outlay, and would interfere mate rially with the traffic along the Liverpool and Manchester line. The CHAIRMAN said it was the unanimous opinion of the Com mittee that the Patricroft line should pass, subject, of Course, to the usual clauses. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP LL. 'run LONDON awn SOUTH-WESTERN HAILWAIt EnTENSEOI-4". Thkz tonstrilttee sat at tweleb o'clotk this morning, and con. tinued to hear additional evidence against this Bill, Irm Lambeth, Bermondsey, and Southwark, showing the injury that would accrue to trade and property in those parishes by the construction of the proposed extension. Messrs. H. Harpe Richards, Light, and Peel, were examined. Their evidence chiefly tended to confirm the statements already made in oppo s ition to this Bill. Evidence was then taken as to the eharatter of the property in those localities, which would be depreciated by the extension. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP MM. WEST I.ONXION RAILWAY. Mr. OrtANtILLE VERNON in the Chalr, This line, it is proposed, shall commence at the terminus near the basin of the Kensington Canal, in the county of Middlesex, and shall pass through the parish of St. Luke's, Chelsea, and ter minate in a field abutting on the river Thames, in the said parish of St. Luke's. The promoters of the Bill were represented by Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Hope. Mr. Montague Chambers appeared to _support a petition of Lord Kingston against the Bill. (LEFT BITTING.) GROUP RR. (LEFT SITTING. GROUP WW. THE ST. HELEN'S CANAL AND RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Pringle in the chair. The CHAIRMAN decided the point referred to in our yesterday's report, that Mr. Scoresby had a sufficient interest in the question to be heard. Mr. Fortsrrit then resumed his statement in favour of the scheme. It was a Bill to effect an amalgamation between these two rival companies. 'rile railway was one of the oldest in Eng. land, having been formed in 1833, but had hitherto never paid any dividend. The canal, though it had paid a dividend, had done so at the expense of the repairs which ought to have been made upon it. It was expected, by putting an end to the rivalry, and by the economy that would be effected in the management of the amalgamated company, that the interest of the shareholders would be greatly improved. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. At the sitting of the Committee this day, Mr. limuyAnD, having been called on by the Chairman, rose and said, it was only for him now to state, that unless the House of Commons interposed he could do nothing more than go on with his case as a project, and therefore he would put Mr. Rendall in the box, and call upon his Learned Friend to continue his crJss.exa mination. Mr. Bendall then took his seat, and was cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant 'WasNonsm—He said, in answer to the question, that his estimate had been made em an amended section, in reverence only to the error in question, but that error was really nothing. Sergeant WRANGIIAM—Was it not identical with the de posited section, so far as it was connected with that error ?—lt was ; but that error could be corrected by keeping the line five feet higher than it appeared on the section. There was an error with reference to the datum line; but there was no error with reference to the level of the surfaces. He would produce a copy of the section that had been deposited, and on that he would lay down the point at which the alleged error commenced, and which extended the whole way to Lincoln, and would show that it would not affect the earth-work at all for the whole of that distance, except the one furlong. He would wish an explanation he was now going to give should appear in the short-hand writers' notes; it was this: at a distance of six teen miles from Cambridge he would mark a point called A, and at the distance of one furlong from that towards Lincoln he would mark another point B; it was between these two points, and for that dis tance only, that the level would be ten feet lower than the line from Cambridge to point A; but from B, the whole way to Lincoln, there was no error ; but as the error did exist between A and B, the line from B to Lincoln was ten feet lower than the line from Cambridge to A. Here the witness spoke of his inability to furnish the section before the day after to_morrow, and of his wish to be candid in his answers, and not to fence any question, where upon the Learned Counsel who cross-examined him expressed his entire satisfaction at the answers the witness had given, and his conviction that he had been quite candid, &c., &c. He then pro ceeded to question the witness as to the extent of the population of the different towns in the district through which the Cambridge and Lincoln line was proposed to be made. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP Z. The Committee met again at two o'clock to-day in Room No. 9, he Hon. R Clive, Chairman. The Comniittee proceeded with the evidence for the promoters of THE DUBLIN AND MULLINGAR. LINE. Mr. Miller was called to prove the traffic tables. The calcula. tions were such as to leave no doubt of a good annual revenue, more than sufficient to meet the expectations of the shareholders. The witness was cross.examined ' by Mr. CALLAGII;N:on . behalf of the Messrs. M'Cann, carriers on the Royal Canal for part of the line, but the evidence in chief was not shaken. Mr. Desmond, coach proprietor, was called to prove the great amount of passenger traffic, and Mr. Crawford, seneschal and agent to Lord Longford, and other large landed proprietors, wre called to prove the tonnage of agricultural and other articles which would be carried by the railway, and be an important source of revenue. The witnesses were cross-examined at some length by Mr. CALLAGHAN. (LEFT SITTING.) THE COLOSSEUM.—The attractions of this epitome of fairy land continues undiminished. Every day it is crowded by fashionables, whose expectations, although previously raised to the highest pitch by the description they have heard of its wonders, ' yet, one and all confess, that those expectations hare been more than realised. The night exhibition is also thronged every evening, as might have been anticipated, for certainly, the illuminated pano. rama of London by night, with its wonderful dioramic effects, is the greatest pictorial novelty of modern times. THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—We lament to learn that this wonderful collection is about to be broken up and distri buted : it Is advertised for public sale. We have therefore paid it a last vis't, to mourn over the separation of so many thousands of in teresting relics, the collection of which was a labour of amazing in dustry, zeal, energy. and enterprise. It was commences! and com pleted by a gentleman named Sainsbury, to whom it still belongs He began his work by purchasing a few prints, thence went to pic tures, thence to memorials of every sort and kind, the authenticity of which was proved beyond the hazard of controversy. It is sulli cient to say that in its present state it contains, in addition to 10,000 MSS., 8 marbles, 60 paintings, 70 miniatures, 60 enamels, 20 gold orders, 000 coins and medals, 10 swords and daggers, 1,300 volumes of books, 130 drawings, 30 carvings, 3,000 engravings, 100 bronzes. The examination of the assemblage has been a rare treat; unhappily it has ceased —most probably for ever, inasmuch as it is not likely one single person will be again the possessor of the store. Still there are few evils unaccompanied with good ; the sale will citable many persons to obtain a single relic, to be valued as a precious acquisition ; for Napoleon is now a history ; all asperities associated wills his name have been rubbed down by time, while there endure respect and admiration for a marvellous man.—irons the Art-Union, Julie, 1845, page 171. THE UNION OF CHURCHMEN AND DISSENTERS.— We copy the following phillippic from the Morning Advertiser. What other result could any rational being anticipate?—" The Patriot of Monday contains an account of the proceedings at the Anti.Maynooth Conference in Dublin. Some of the speeches at that meeting have filled us with surprise. Were the accuracy of the Patriot's report not placed beyond all question, we could scarcely believe that the sentiments attributed to several of the speakers could ever have been uttered by them. Sir Culling Eardley Smith and the Rev. Mr. Blackburn seem to have left their principles as Dissenters behind them, when they quitted the shores of England. At any rate, they came out in Dublin a pair of Orange bigots, and very good bigots, too, for a beginning. If they continue for a fortnight longer to make the same progress towards High Church princi. plys which they appear to have done since they left England, we venture to surmise that ere the lapse of another month they will surpass, in their anti-Dissenting tendencies, such ultra. Churchmen as the Rev. Messrs. M`Neil and Stowell. Sir Cul ling fell foul of the late Anti-State-Church Convention at Crosby-hall. His attack on that movement was in the very worst taste. Nor were the representations he made re. specting the Convention in accordance with fact. The Conven tion was approved of by many of the leading Dissenters in London, as well as by a majority of the brightest ornaments of Dissent in all parts of the country. In speaking of Mr. Blackburn, we have no such reason for reservation. That gentleman has, as far as in him lay, grossly betrayed the cause of English Dissent. On the platform, in the Dublin Rotunda, he virtually abjured his principles as a Dissenter. We wish he had completed the thing by abjuring the name of Nonconformist." PRICE or GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris is 19 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 63 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77 1 4, it follows that gold is 0.56 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 437 1 / per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 11} ; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13 12k, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The Duke of Sutherland and the Marquis of Stafford have left Erskine House, where they had been visiting Lord and Lady Blantyre, for Dunrobin Castle and the family estates in the north of Scotland. THE WAR BETWEEN BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VIDEO.—The following letter has been received by a mercantile house at Liverpool :—" Buenos Ayres, April 3.—We have to inform you that official dispatches have been received from General Oribe, dated the 29th ult., advising the complete defeat of General Riviera, at a place called the ' India Muerta,' ninety miles north of Monte Video, with the loss of all his infantry, artillery, and baggage, on the 27th Inst., after an action of two hours with the division of General Urquiza; 1,000 men are said to be killed, and 500 prisoners taken, including a great many officers. General Riviera is reported to have escaped with eight men. Great rejoicings have taken place here on account of this triumph. The blockade of Monte Video is not yet formally acknowledged by the French." THE LATE CHARGE OF MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY POISON IN lI ATTON - GARDEN.—Yesterday forenoon the adjourned investigation concerning the death of Hannah Moore, aged 18, said to have died from the effects of poison administered to her by Daniel John Cock, now an inmate of Newgate on a charge of wilful murder, was resumed before Mr. T. Wakiey, M.P., and the jury, at the Cock and Hoop, Cross-street, Hutton-garden. It will be remembered that the man, John Cock, was committed on the 30th ult. by Mr. Greenwood, the police magistrate, to Newgate, on the charge of w liul murder of the deceased, he having agreed with her to take a certain quantity of oxalic acid with a view to their mutual destruction. The inquest was adjourned to enable the Coroner to procute a writ of habeas corpus for toe production of the accused be fore the jury, but which application to the Court of Queen's Bench, on Monday, was refused by Lord Denman and the other judges. Alter a discussion of upwards of a❑ hour's duration, the jury re turned the following verdict :—" That the deceased, Hannah Moors, died of mortal injuries upon her intestines and certain portions of her stomach from the action of a certain poison, taken by the said Hannah Moore, with her own hands, during tempor.try insanity." This result, it is needless to 8(14, is directly in the teeth of Mr. Greenwood's committal of the accused to Newgatc on the charge of wilful murder. "--- O „ . f 1 .1N EW XFORD-STREET.—Y cs.en.ay the DeNv line of road from Holborn to Oxford-street was thrown open for carriages. Thg old carriage road through Holborn is for the present closed for repairs. The Marquis of Westminster, it is said, has pur chased the celebrated Foothill estate, formerly the property of Mr. lieckford. There will be a grand banquet this evening at „licrchant Tailors' Hall. Sir Robert Peel, and most of the leading merr. ,, ers of the Cabinet, are expected to attend. EXTRAORDINARY MONETARY ''..SPECULATION.—For some time least the copper coinage of William the Fourth has been eage rly purchased up by persons who are stated to be Jews, and a report has in consequence gained ground that gold is contained in i t. whett reason there may be for this it is impossible to say; but it is a welt known fact that agents have been at work for the last two month. s buying up those particular coins in Westminster, and they now ft tch double the pri ce o f their legal issue. The mania has extend.N,d eastward, and twopence for a penny piece, and a penny for is ,halfpenny, &c., is now asked for the "precious issue , PRESTON BROOK, AND RUNCORN LINE, The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at twelve o'clock this morning, and proceeded with the case for the noble promoter of the Preston Brook and Runcorn Railway. Mr. Rippon, whose examination in chief was taken yesterday, was cross.examincd by Messrs. ATarNsori and Maws, with a view of showing that the traffic was not sufficiently extensive to justify the construction of the line. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY•) • GROUP A. SOTTra—EAS'X'ERN LINZ.
