This Company is established pursuant to the following request and uthority : " We, the undersigned, being interested in the trade of Manchester, and in the shortest and quickest intercourse between London and Manchester, hereby express our conviction that a direct line of rail way between those places will give the public thegreateat cheapness, convenience, and speed. " That it is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the public, that they should not continue dependent for communication with Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of railway. " That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential, because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in con sequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate. " That an independent trunk line is necessary, to guard the trade and commerce of the metropolis and Lancashire against excessive charges. and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly. " We therefore authorise and request Messrs. Ashurat and Son, Solicitors, and Messrs. Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, Solicitors, to take the necessary steps for the formation of a Committee, with a view to the adoption of such a line.

The division at present existing among the Liberal, in Southwark is deeply to be deplored ; and if by any chance a Tery should get in through Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH and Mr. MIALL both going to the poll, and if it be (as we are informed) that Mr. MIALL refuses to submit to the decision of a majority of the Liberal electors, as between himself and Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH, we are sure that no one will afterwards, when the heat of the contest is over, and the time for cool re• flection comes, regret more than Mr. MIALL the injury which he will have done to the Liberal cause. It is no good policy to shut one's eyes to any of the possible results of the present division in the Southwark Liberal camp. The Tories, deriving hope from division among their opponents, may withdraw Mr. PILCHER before the day of election, and put forward some can didate of greater mark and influence in his stead. " FILCHER and Protestantism" may do very well as long as a Tory has not the remotest chance in Southwark ; but if the tacticians of the Carlton see a glimpse of vic tory, Mr. Protestant PILCHER will soon be jostled off to make way for Mr. BARCLAY, or for some other influen tial candidate, who, if the Southwark Liberals persevere in playing at cross-purposes, may get in. Mr. MIALL differs from Sir W. MOLESWORTH on the question of Maynooth, and is a " Complete Suffragist." Which goes nearer to complete suffrage, Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH or Mr. PILCHER? But then Maynooth is a vital question. Would Mr. MIALL vote for anti-Maynooth PILCHER against Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH? Unless he would do this, he cannot consistently make May nooth a stalking-hors e for perseverance as a candidate, to the possible rejection thereby of another Liberal can didate, who agrees more nearly with himself than any other Liberal politician that does not go the length of Complete Suffrage ; and if he would vote for Mr. FILCHER, why, then, it is quite clear that he ought to withdraw to prevent the division of Protestant votes. But we will not do the Editor of the Non-Conformist the injustice of supposing that he would vote for Mr. FILCHER. And, if he would not give Mr. PILCHER direct support, we trust that he will have the good sense to refrain from aiding him indirectly against Sir WIL LIAM MOLESWORTH. Mr. MIALL'S objection to Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH being that he does not go far enough as a Parliamentary Reformer, we congratulate Mr. MIALL on the felicity of his first appearance in public life. Mr. MIALL could hardly alight on any constituency, represented by a Liberal member or Liberal members, where ho would not find a greater difference between himself and the Liberal representative. If there is any man among the Liberal politicians of the present day whom we should have thought more secure than another against com plaints of not going far enough as a Reformer, that man is Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII. Mr. MIALL is playing Mr. PLLCHER'S game in South wark ; and see with what respect Mr. PILCHER'S friends treat Mr. MIALL. A Mr. SHAW, who takes the chair at one of Mr. PILCHER'S meetings, holds forth as follows on one who is at present Mr. PILCHER'S chief benefactor :—" His principles being public property, he (the Chairman) would take the liberty of dealing with them publicly. He had told them that he was a man who had no public reputation—nobody knew anything of him in the public line.—(Great laughter and marks of disapprobation.) lie had got no rank in society, no wealth, no property, no party connexion; and therefore, he said, having nothing, I ask to be the representative of the borough of Southwark, and I 9dvo cate, as a right, that no man who represents it ought to possess any property qualification.—(Cheers, and loud cries of No, no.') So much for Mr. MIALL.—(ti laugh)" So much for Mr. PILCHER, Mr. MIALL should reply; and that, at least, would be no laughing matter to Mr. PILCHER'S A gentleman of the harmonions name of GRISEN THWAITE informed the Southwark electors at the same meeting that Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTIII was engaged in editing an infidel work, the infidel work being HolmEs's philosophical writings. Does Mr. MIALL countenance this species of opposition ? We are curious to know what account Mr. GRASENTHWAITE would give of Mr. MIALL'S writings in the Nonconformist. Infi delity has a wide meaning in a Tory mouth, and some times means no more than dissent. A letter from Magdeburg of August 20, in the Co logne Get:cite, says The day before yesterday public tranquillity was troubled for some hou..s, in consequence of an arrest effected by the police. A crowd increased rapidly: it was first the intention to give a serenade to the Commandant of the place, because he had mani fested sentiments of humanity for the people, but the police opposed it, in order to avoid the coming together of two great a meeting of men. At eleven o'clock order was restored. Nine persons were arrested." A letter from Berlin, August 19, states that the King of PRUSSIA has conferred the portfolio of Foreign Affairs ad interim, during the illness of Baron DE BirLow, o❑ General DE CANITZ, his ;MAJESTY'S Envoy at the Court of Austria. Letters from Athens of the 10th inst. state that, in consequence of COLETTI'S determination to swamp the Senate by his recent creation of Senators, METAxs hail resigned his office of Minister of Finance. Six officers, charged with being implicated in the con spiracy at Nauplia, had been transported to tho Wand of 'Lea without trial. Advices to the 7th have been received from Constan tinople. The Porte had communicated to the Ambassa dors of the Five Powers the measures it was about to adopt to restore order in Lebanon. The Ambassadors met on the 31st to consider the subject, and communicated to the Turkish Government their approval of the measures proposed. The disposition to re‘olt against Turkish governors, manifested so frequentl3 of late, had showed itself in various quarters. At Bagdad the sub-governor had revolted against the governor, but was defeated and forced to fiy into Persia. At Mossoul several Kurdish Beys had risen against the PACHA, while at Vau an in surrection has broken out of a most serious character. We learn from the Maltese papers that the Bey of TUNIS is still apprehensive of an attack from Tripoli where 3,000 Annauts are encamped outside the walls Of the city. The Malta Meditertaneo, however, considers these alarms to be merely the spec. of some consul who wants to sell the Bey of TUNIS some gunpowder, as was the case in April, 1844. The American frigate Cumberland arrived at Tripo on the 7th. We have received Madrid papers of the 19th and 20th. The capital was quiet on the evening of the 20th at nine o'clock. From these papers we are enabled to give the follow ing history of the events of the iesurrection. On the 18th of August a meeting of the tax-payers was held, at which nearly every class of society was represented, and which was attended by more than 500 persoas, to peti tion the QUEEN against the new contributions. In the evening some disturbances took place ; in the Las Vis- tillas quarter there was a struggle with the police, and some of the ringleaders were captured. On the 19th all the shops were closed, and groups of unemployed work men, armed with sticks and knives, assembled in the streets. The Ministers, who remained in consultation at the Home Office, ordered strong patrols of infantry and cavalry to clear the streets. Previous to these orders being issued, those officers who had been found in the streets unprotected were wounded with knives, it is said mortally. The troops charged two or three times, and about a dozen shots were fired. Several persons were wounded. Two, it is said, are killed. Three mountain guns were placed near the Post-office, and a bando was issued by FIRMIN URTELA, the Political Chief, contain ing the following enactments : " 1. Any person who, without special permission granted by me to the contrary, shall not open to the public, within four hours after the publication of this notice, his shop or other establishment, shall be considered as an accomplice in the re bellion attempted against the execution of the laws voted by the Cortes and sanctioned by the Crown, and shall be prose cuted accordingly. "2. The commissaries of police of the different quarters shall, after the publication of this notice, and after the delay there set forth, visit their respective districts, and report to me the names of all parties offending against the said order, that the due proceedings may be instituted against them. " 3. Shops for eatables and other articles of first-rate neces sity must open immediately, and those who do not do so will be opened by the authorities, in order that the public may not be deprived of their supplies. " 4. Groups of people assembling in the streets are for bidden when the number exceeds four ; and those persisting in remaining after summoned to disperse will be arrested." At about two o'clock the crowds began to disperse. The coffee-houses and provision shops were opened, but almost all the other shops continued closed. The troops continued under arms the whole day, but the public tranquillity was not further disturbed. Thirty-seven per sons were arrested during the day, of whom, it is said, three are to be shot forthwith. Extraordinary couriers were dispatched to the various provinces to inform them that the tranquillity of the capital had not been seriously disturbed. During the evening 100 of the principal tradesmen were sent for by the Political Chief and re commended to open their shops, which, it is said, they promised to do. Several merchants were arrested in the course of the evening. On the morning of the 20th a permanent court-martial was established at the Post-office for the trial of the prisoners. More than 70 persons were arrested for refusing to open their shops; among them were some of the principal tradesmen of Madrid. The doors of the shops in the Calle Toledo were forced open with swords and axes. One man was killed in this street in the course of the day. It is stated that the new taxes have been resisted in a similar manner at Burgos, Sara gossa, Toledo, and Seville. During the emeute on the 19th, the cries of " Viva la Regna," " Viva la Constitu tion," " Mueran los tiramios," were frequently uttered , and in many places the cry of " Viva Espartero" was raised. The Heraldo of the 20th says, that tranquillity is completely restored, and that the people begin to see the folly of opposing the law. It states that several shop keepers have changed their mind, and purpose recom mencing business, and that for its conduct in doing so Madrid deserves freedom. One of the prisoners taken on the previous day in the act of poignarding an officer was condemned to death by the court-martial, and several others, to different terms of imprisonment in a presidio. The same journal announces that General BRETEN, Captain-General of Arragon, is appointed Captain-General of Cata►onia, in the room of General CONCHA, and that General MANSO succeeds BRETEN in Arragon. Don FRANCISCO DI PAULA and his family are about to proceed to Pampeluna, to meet the Duke DE NEMOURS. The Clamor relates a horrid act of barbarity com mitted by General SHELLEY, Captain-General of Se ville. An inhabitant of the city having in a moment of intoxication shouted Viva la libertad, SHELLEY had him seized and beaten to death. The poor victim has left a widow and large family. Two operations only in the Three per Cents., amount ing to 6,000,000 reals ; they close at 31- at 60 days. Fives, 22/ at 60 days ; amount, 2,800,000 reals. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They all comment on the recent occurrences at Madrid, and the merits of die newly-appointed Members of the Chamber of Peers, are the subject of observation in the Opposition journals. The Legitimatist papers consider these appointments as preparatory to a dissolution, but the Constitutionnel says the o bj ec t o f the recent creation of Peers is to secure such a majority in the Peers as will enable the Chamber to resist the wishes of the Deputies as to the conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock, and as to the new law in the University. A letter from Algiers, dated August 15, says : " Military operations continued in the circle of Orleans ville. Two columns scour the country in all directions, to pursue the bands of insurgents, who still hold out for the Marabout who instigated the last revolt. It ap pears that on his side General BOUEJOLLY, at the head of the movable column of Mostaganem, bas again ap peared in the Lower Cheliff. It is doubtful whether the fractions of tribes that have taken up arms can be brought under subjection by the month of October, the period for commencing the grand operations. The heat is now excessive, and water fails on almost every point, so that it is impossible to venture far into the interior. The movements of the small columns have generally for object to give confidence to the tribes who have re mained faithful. The markets of the interior are well frequented, which would lead to the inference that tranquillity has returned."

Mangles, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY (J. Long, Esq.) having read the advertise ment convening the meeting, the seal of the Company was affixed to the register of shareholders. The SECRETARY then presented the report which, mention ing with gratulation the fact of the Bill of the Company having received the royal assent, stated that the works were in a forward state, and the line, in al probability, would be opened to the public in the ensuing summer; that Mr. George Stephenson had been elected chairman, and that a tranch was projected by the London and Birmingham Company from Watford to St Alban's and Luton. Mr. Charles Anstead and Mr. Edward Ellis, were appointed audi4ors, and Mr. T. Long secretary, at a salary of 50/. per annum. And the meeting, after passing a formal vote of thank to the chair, separated. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England sa: in his private room, in Lincoln's Inn, to-day, for the purpose of hearing two or three cases that had been appointed for to-day. His HONOUR, upon the admission of parties and counsel, addrebsing Mr. Teid, said that that wis the last day during the vacatioh that he intended sitting there ; if, therefore, counsel had any applications to make that premed, they would have the pleasure of a trip to him in the country. CONTGHAME V. LORD E LDON. This:case came before his Honour on the petition of the grand-children of the first Lord Thurlow, praying for the ap pointment of a new trustee in the place of the late Earl of Eldon.—The Court granted the prayer of the petitioners. - - DAMER V. LORD PORTALLINGTON. This case came before tke Court upon motion for an injunc tion to restrain the defendants, Blount and others, from pro ceeding, with certain suits in the Court of Chancery in Ireland. His HONOUR, at the conclusion of the arguments, which occupied some time, granted the application. BAZALGETTE V. BAZALGETTE. The Court then proceeded to hear this petition in private. His HoNova, upon an application being made to him to hear upon a future day a motion for an injunction, stated that he should leave town to-morrow ; that on Friday and Satur day he should be in the Isle of Wight, probably on Monday in London, and afterwards in the county of Durham ; and the parties, therefore, if they thought proper, might attend him at any of those places.—(A laugh.) SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER ' ) FURNEAU V. SMITH. A DELICATE AFFAIR.—This was an action to recover the sum of 11/. Ws. Bd. for rent. Mr. THOMAS, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that the defendant was a partner in the firm of Payne and Smith, bankeri. The action was to recover the amount of rent of apartments. The defendant had pleaded that he never was indebted, payment, and set off. It was difficult to say which defence would be depended upon, but he understood the real defence was, that he was not liable, that the apartments were occupied by a female who passed as his wife, but who was not so in fact. It was, however, clear that in law if a person allowed a female to pass under his name he was responsible for the debts she might incur. ' He (the Learned Counsel) trusted that, for the sake of honour and decency, such a defence would be repudiated by the jury. Mr. Scale deposed that a Mrs. Heathcote lived at plaintiff's house in Pratt -street, and afterwards in King-street, Camden town. Pefendant used to be there four or five days a week, and lived with her as his wife. He used to ask if his wife was at home. They always conducted themselves in a very be coming manner. The house was a very respectable one, and he had pot the slightest idea that they were not married. HARRISON then addressed the jury for the defendant. He did not deny that there had been an intimacy between de fendant and Mrs. Heathcote, whose real name was Cousins, and contended that she took the lodgings herself, and therefore that the defendant was not liable ; that plaintiff knew very well that the woman was not married, and even that the defendant's name was not Heathcote but Smith, and had actually bor rowed money of him, and signed a promissory note for the amount, promising to repay him in the name of Smith. As to the raw of the case, it had been held by Lord Ellenborough, that to 'render, a person liable the;female must not only pass under his name, but reside under his roof as one of his family. In this case it was clear that the woman had never passed un der the' name of Smith, and that the defeodant was only, A casual visitor, for an immoral purpose, with the knowledge of the plaintiff. _ Catherine Isabella Cousins was then called, and swore she took the lodgings herself, and paid the rent. She was in arrear when she left, and had been called upon several times to pay it, and believed she had paid all. Mr. Smith used to call about twice a week. She never lived with him as his wife. Never passed as a married woman, but it was not a fair question to ask who had supported her. Plaintiff knew her before she went to live at his house, and must have known she was not a married woman. Mr. THOMAS contended that the plaintiff had no knowledge of any impropriety, and that the plea of payment had not been made out, even if the witness had spoken the truth. He consi dered the defence, under any Circumstances, was very dis creditable. _ The Learned SECONDARY left the ease to the jury, who gave a verdict for the amount claimed. BOW-STREET---(THIS DAY) John Scott, a well-known fighting and betting " man about town," was charged before Mr. Twyford with stealing a watch, six sovereigns, and some other money, from John Fox, a broker, living near Long-acre. It appeared from the statements of a multiplicity of wit nesses, that the prosecutor and a friend of his, by name Wm. Merry, met the prisoner at the bar of a public-house in Bow street, and went with him to a coffee-house in the same street, where they had some coffee. The prosecutor and his friend fell asleep almost immediately , from the effects, u they asserted, of some drugs which had been mixed with the coffee, and, on waking up, the by no means cunning Fox found that he had been robbed of his watc h , s i x sovere i gns, and some silve r , the prisoner havi ng d ecampe d . The two friends immediately s tated the cas e to t h e wa i ter, who knew the man, and directed them to a public-house which he frequented, and at which he was found. On being taken to the station-house, he was searched, and 3/. 15s. found upon him. It was admitted by the witness Merry, that the prisoner did not sit next the prosecutor, but that he was between them. Mr. TWYFORD said that there was no proof that the prisoner was the person who had drugged the prose cutor and his friend, and it seemed hardly possible that he could have put anything into the cup of one person when another was between them ; he should therefore discharge the prisoner, but recommended the prosecutor to give him in cus tody again if any further evidence could be got against him. The money found on the prisoner was returned to him, and he left the Court in high spiritt, therein affording a striking contrast to the discomfited prosecutor. THE RIVER PLATE.—News is said to have been brought to Cadiz by a vessel which sailed from the River Plate about the middle of June last, whereby we are given to under stand that General Roses had acceded to the demands of the English and French Governments, and had consented to with draw the Buenos Ayrean troops from the territory of Monte Video. The terms of the pacification are said to be—that both the rival candidates for the presidency of the republic of Uru guay, Generals Oribe an d Rivera, should be passed over, and that a new elect ion for president should take place immediately. The authenticity of this news is more probable, inasmuch as it agrees with the terms which England and France have proposed and insisted upon It was also represented that the Govern ment of Monte Video had issued a general amnesty to all parties who would come in and submit themselves within twenty days. The report further adds that Government paper, which had been so much depressed, was rapidly rising in value. Chronicle. APPROPRIATE TRIBUTE.—A package arrived a few days since by the D u t c h steam-ship Batavier, from Rotterdam, containing a silver cup, as a present from Mr. A. Ahlers, jun., of Amsterdam, the owner of the Dutch ship Jan Hendrick, recently wrecked on St. Paul's Rock, to Captain Roxby, of the ship Chance, as a small token of his estimation of the praiseworthy and heroic conduct displayed by that gentleman, by which a portion of the crew of the first-named vessel were saved from a watery grave. A certificate of her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam accompanied it, declaring to the contents of the package, the reason of the shipment of the g o bl e t, an d the purpose to which it was intended to be applied, and a re quest has been made to the revenue authorities to allow it to be delivered, imder the c i rcumstances, to t h e recipient free of duty. So distinct and appropr i ate a reward of merit is equally honourable to Capt a i n R ox b y an d t o t h e gentleman who so kindly and justly appreciates the gallant conduct of our countryman. .The cup h as i nscr ib e d on i t an appropriate dedicative description of the cause of its presentation, &c. ESTATE OF KELLY.—If proof was wanting to show what an extraordinary increase has tak en pl ace i n th e value of land i n this country during the last half century, we might point to the great p r i ce w hi c h t h e sale of each successive estate brings that is put into the market. In the Scot's Maga zine of 1792 it is stated that the estate of Kelley, in Renfrew shire, was sold in that year to Jchn Wallace, Esq., for 10,7501. The same estate, when sold the other day, brought 65,0001., although denuded of a valuabe part of the shore-ground, which has been retained by th e l ate propr i e t or . There is no other commodity in this country which is at all to be compared to land for an increase of value, especially if that land has received proper attention in agricultural improvement similar to the estate of Kelly.— Glasgow Saturday Post.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Liverpool market yesterday the sales of Cotton were 6,000 bales, including 1,200 American on speculation. Prices were very fully supported, more especially for the middling de scriptions, which were becoming scarce, and the demand was chiefly for those sorts. A good business was done in shares, and generally at improving prices. The following are some interesting items respecting the state of the Island of Ceylon :—" Accounts are now ar riving from Europe of the prices realised by the different samples of list year's coffee, and, upon the whole, they must be deemed satisfactory, considering the unfavourable season. What shall we do tins year ? " Speculators have now fine opportunities for the invest • ments of capital, several fine ready made estates are already advertised, and we hear of a splendid property which is shortly to be offered without reserve to the highest bidder, under circumstances promising a rare chance to capitalists 4 despite this, new pieces are being commenced in all directions, and each year adds thousands to our list of coffee acres. " Since the commencement of the present month theweather has again become dry and settled, and there seems a pro bability- of a few days continuance of it, when we may ex • pea useful showers. Coolies are in fair supply, as sickness is abating. The central province is barren of news." As to produce transactions, they are described as being at the very lowest ebb, and likely to remain so for some little time. Nearly- the whole of the remaining portion of plantation crops had been shipped off ; and though there were still a few odd parcels of that description,.as well as of native coffee, in the Colombo Godovi - ns, the season's crops might fairly be considered to have left the island. They had turned out much earlier than those of last year; and, although up to the date of our advices, the exports somewhat exceeded the shipment, in the like period of 1844, it was supposed that on the entire year ending Oct. 5, the exports would be found about on a!par. Freights con tinued steady at 51. ss. for coffee, and 61. 6s. for cinnamon, with only two vessels in the roads. The Ceylon Observer statea:— "As yet no spice has found its way into the hands of dealers, the peelings having not long commenced ; the cut tings of plantation cinnamon promise tolerably well, but there appears every probability of the peelings from jungle bushes turning out far short of the past year. We do not hear any more of the petition for reducing the shilling ex pert duty on the spice. How is this? We know not a better time to urge it on our Legislature." The English Stocks have been quiet again, and there is no buoyancy in prices, with the exception of Bank Stock, which is up to 211 1 ,1 and 212 1 ,0. East India Stock has been at 271 to 272, being a shade lower. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 102% 1,1, and the Three per Cents., 39% aj. Ou Exchequer-bilk the premium is 495. to 51s. The Government broker is still a buyer of stock. There is as limited a business as ever doing in Spanish Bonds, but prices remain about the same as previously. The Five per Cents. are 271 , and the Three per Cents. 304 1 / 2 . Mexican Bonds have been worth 34 3 / 4 to 3it for the Active, and 18% for the Deferred. Columbian Stock is steady at 18 1 /, and Brazilian at 89. The Railway Share market is lively for the scrips at im proving rates, but the old lines seem generally to be rather flatter, because in some measure they are neglected. Among the favourite scrips we notice London and York, Staines and Richmond, Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales, South Midland, and Manchester, Buxton, and Midland, Manchester and Southampton ; and one or two others not yet officially quoted are also at good premiums. .

MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat of home produce for our market have been very moderate, yet we had a large number of samples on sale this morning left over from that day. The accounts from the provinces being of a more fa vourable character, and the attendance of buyers limited, the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, without any alteration in prices. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was comparatively small, Selected qualities were held at full rates of currency. ran . all other kinds next to nothing was doing: Corn under lock was a mere drug, and almost -nominal in value. Scarcely any English Barley was on offer, and the supply of that of foreign produce was, comparatively speaking, limited. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off steadily, at full prices, but malting parcels were a slow sale. Superfine season-made Malt was in request. In other qualities, very few sales were reported. The Oat trade was heavy, at barely last week's figures. Beans and Peas supported late rates, but Flour was very dull. E❑glish ...... Irish ........ Foreign .... ARRIVALS. Barley. 20 wa.

PRICE OF GoLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 45 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.39 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 94 ; and the exchange at . Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. FATAL ACCIDENT - ON WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.— Yesterday a poor old woman, named Elizabeth Clark, who was above seventy years of age, expired in the Westminster Hos pital, from dreadful injuries the received on Westminster bridge. The unfortunate , Woman was a native of Dublin, and had for some time resided in Old Pye-street, Westminster. As she was pioceeding acioss (lie 4 earriage-way of Westminster bridge, a fly belonging to-Alz.,..Netvircan, of Tulse-hill, Brixton, was going slowly towards Bridge-street, and the driver called out to her, but she apparently did not hear him, and being knocked down by the horse, both wheels went over her.

She expired yesterday from the effects of the injuries. LYNCH LAW IN WESTMINSTER.—A short time since, a woman, named Sthith, was committed on the coroner's warrant, on the charge of manslaughter of her child, aged four months, by wilful neglect. In _consequence of some defect in the medical testimony, she was acquitted on Saturday at the Old Bailey. She returned late the same night to her old quar ters in the Almong, at Westrninster : but as soon as it became known, the other 14abitants of the neighbourhood attacked her en-masse, and but far tbs_ interference of the police her life would hare been-in great-jeopardy.

MERCHANT SEAMEN.—Monday next a part of the Act of last session for the,protection of seamen entering on board merchant ships, will come. into operation. It seems that these men have been greatly imposed upon by persons undertaking to procure them ships, and the object of the Legislature has been to afford them protection from future impositions. The Board of Trade is, from - the Ist proximo, to license persons to procure seamen for merchant ships. " And every license shall be granted for such period, and upon such terms, ar.d upon such security being given, and shall be revocable upon such conditions as the Lords of the said Committee may at any time or times appoint." There are penalties for offences against the Act. The other provisions are to take effect from the Ist of November. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE EDGEWARE-ROAD.— Yesterday Mr. G. J.

MARVELLOUS EFFECTS OF GUANO AND ELEC TRICITY.—A Yankee lad,- whose father was a farmer, went into a barn to play a short time ago, and being detained a pri soner by a thunder storm, he fell asleep on a bag of guano. The old gentleman, when the. storm was over, went into the farm-yard to look after his son,•and met a giant, eight feet high, coming out of the barn. : Hallo ! who are you ?" he cried.; " what are you doing here'?" " Why, father," squeaked the Goliah, " its me ; don't you know Tommy ?" " You I" the astonished parent exclaimed ; " why, Tom, how on earth did you get stretched out so long in so short a time?" " Why, father," replied the boy, looking down upon the gaping old man, " I slept upon them bags of guano as you put in the barn, and that and the lightning together has done the busi ness." SUDDEN DEATH OF CAPT. DOWLlNG.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bedford held au inquest at the White Horse, Stafford-row, on the body of Capt.

Her master was in good health up to Saturday afternoon last, when he left home about three o'clock quite well,- ',She was not accustomed to sit up for him of a night, as the "deeeased had a latch key 'to let himself in. On Sunday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, on coming down stairs, she discovered her master in the hall in a kneeling posture, and his head bent forward between his knees, lifeless and black in the face. She im mediately gave an alarm, and a person from Buckingham Palace went for a surgeon. In a short time Messrs. Inner and Woolger, surgeons, attended and opened a vein in his arm, but no blood flowed. After some further evidence the jury re turned a verdict of " Died from apoplexy." The deceased, who had greatly distinguished himself at Talavera and Water loo, was the brother of the Commissioner of Police at Liver pool, FATAL FALL FROM A C lIERRY- TREE.—Mr. Bed ford held an inquest yesterday at St. George's Hospital, on the body of William Harding, aged thirty-five, a labourer employed in Mr. F.

WORCESTER, AUGUST 26.—The 1211 musical festival Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, for the benefit of the poor clergy of those dioceses, and their widows and orphans, has already commenced. The three great days are Tuesday (this day), to.mui row, and Thursday. It may be proper to men tion, for the information of those unaware of the fact, that this triennial festival is held alternately in each of the three above-mentioned cathedral cities, it being the turn of Wor cester this year. The selection of music for the present festival is such as can hardly fail to satisfy the severest taste for the grand and the classical. Of Handel we have a perfect banquet, both in the Cathedral and the College.hall. The festival duly commenced this morning at eleven o'clock. The prices of tickets fluctuated from half-a.crown—which sum commanded an admission into the western gallery and aisles— to 55., which gave the payer the privilege of the nave. This part of the sacred edifice was swept and garnished for the occa sion. Rows of benches extended along the entire length (covered with crimson cloth); and at the end opposite the orchestra, which was, of course, erected under the organ, and before the " screen," which separates the more sacred from the less sacred portion of the cathedral, there were placed seats, elevated one above the other, so as to command a better view of the orchestra front that distant past. The " hal lowed ground" being generally too chilly for the feet of modern congregations, was considerately covered over with c:ean and comfortable matting. The building was not illumed, as Nihon says, with " a dim, religious light," for the sun shone briglillY• and shed a warmth upon the otherwise cold interior of a Gothic cathedral, and served, moreover, to show off to a greater ad vantage the beautiful bonnets, elegant silk dresses, and gaudy shawls with with the fair visitants were adorned. There was no lack of female loveliness, and still less of its " foreign aid of ornament." The heavens were propitious, and the whole scene wore a smiling aspect. The Bishop of the Diocese, and the B 6 hop of Rochester were present on the occasion. There is not much room for critical remark on the music of to-day, inasmuch as the first performance consisted merely of the solemn cathedral service, interspersed and diversified with the grand Dettingea Te Drum, Purcell's Jubilate in D, Crotch's sublime anthem (Psalm xcvii), " The Lord is King,: and Handel's fine coronation anthem, " My heart is inditing, with which the whole service concl uded. The Te Deum of Handel has 'now for the space of a century commanded the admiration of Europe. It was performed here on the whole with great spirit and admirable effect. The prin cipal vocal parts were sustained by Mr. Young (alto), Miss A. Williams (soprano), Miss M. Williams (contralto), Mr. Hobbs (tenor), and Mr. Machin (bass). The two Misses Williams are already favourably known in London, and it is highly creditable to them that they are able to enunciate the sacred music of Handel so respectably. Mr. Hobbs is an old established favourite. Mr. Machin sings with purity. and good taste, but the volume of his voice is too limited for the extent of a cathedral, and the lower notes seemed to be weak. As Staudigl is engaged to sing this evening, I am at a loss to conceive why he was not especially retained ; we shall. hoirevsr, have a "taste of his quality" to-morrow in the Last judgment. Miss Rainforth is the leading soprano, but she sang the eir in Dr. Crotch's anthem, " The Heavens have declared his righteousness," somewhat ineffectively. Miss Rainforth'sforte is evidently not the sacred style, and this air appeared rather a labour to her. We shall hear her to more advantage at the concerts, where she is always at home. In the orchestra I recognized the veteran Lindley and Harper, whose performance on the trumpet (especially the obligato in Purcell's Jubilate) was exquisite, both as regards purity of intonation and art istical expressiveness. Baumann, the two Cards, W. Cramer, T. Cooke, Dando, Betts, Lucas, fiatton, Howell, Lazarus, and many other picked performers may also be mentioned. The leader of the band is Loder, and the conductor Mr. W. Done, the organist of the Cathedral, young musician whose talents are held in great estimation here. The chorusses appear to have been well drilled ; but, thanks to their small number, there is not the same overpowering, ~' stunning torrent of sound as at Exeter-hall. The sum collected was 2611. 135. 6d. A donation of 501. has been sent by the Queen Dowager, 50/. from Mr. Bailey, M.P., and 25/. from Sir Thomas Wilde, M.P., also N. from Lord Lyttleton, the lord lieutenant of the county. PORTUGAL. The Queen steam-ship, Captain Russell, arrived at South ampton this morning, from the Peninsula. The Queen left Gibraltar on the 17th of August, Cadiz 18ih,.. Lisbon 19th, Vigo 23d, and Corunna 25th. She arrived off Oporto Bar on the 21st, but had no communica tion with shore, on account of the bad weather. Her Ma jesty's ship Flamer, brig Fantome, and Danish ship Omen, were at Gibraltar. The Queen exchanged colours with the Oriental and Peninsular steam-ship Oriental on the 23d, steering S.ViC She also spoke the schooner Marie, of Brigham, in lat. 47.20, lon. 5.50, bound to Ancona, with a southerly wind-- all well. The Marie wished to be reported. As also the schooner Vintage, which arrived at Oporto from Cardiff on the 19th inst.—all well. She brings no news of any importance. The Portuguese Government had come to no decision on the railways when she left Lisbon. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—The late awful conflagration in the City appeal to me to occasinn a fit opportunity to draw attention to the small chance of escape from fire which the inmate possess, who reside in large establishments in the City. It is not generally known that the bedrooms, in mall; of these establishments, are arranged in the middle of the building, without any means whatever of escape, not even a window. If the late fire had broken out at night, nothing but * miracle could have saved the assistants, in either houses, from perishing in the flames. I think, Sir, you will agree with me in opinion, that it is a duty which the employer generally ought to be called upon to perform, to have made, immediately, in every house, a fair and reasonable means of escape for their assistants ; for situated as I am, and as manf others are, I retire to rest every night with feelings of extreme dread. Your drawing attention to this matter will obliges Sir, your obedient servant, AN ASSISTANT. Aug. 23, 1845. THE RlNG.—Yesterday a blank was drawn in the affair between Brooks (the slashing painter), and Beeson, wh ° were matched to fight for 101. The parties interested left London for St. Alban's (the proposed locality for the contest), where they arrived and prepared for action, but were Cour pelled to make their exit, in consequence of the police enteril an appearance, and another more suitable spot was folio° , when, to the surprise of the spectators, Brooks refused to fig l3 ' and the fancy retur ne d t o L on d on much disappointed.
