We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned.

The circular of Messrs. JoaN RAILTON and Soave, the eminent stock and sharebrokers, of Manchester, (which will be found in another part of this day's im pression) will be perused with deep interest by all holders of railway property. It shows that the tide which was so long ebbing has at length turned, and that there is every reason to hope that these im portant undertakings have seen their worst days, that henceforth there will be a gradual improvement, affording a reasonah!e expectation of fair, but moderate remuneration to those who have invested their capital therein. The extraordinary panic and depression of the last few years were but the natural consequences of the mania and extravagant prices of 1844 and 1845. It was then thought that railways constituted a mine of incalculable wealth, which could not possibly be over worked. Fortunes were, in many instances, realised in a few weeks which would have taken a life to accumulate. There was no labour, no anxiety ; nothing was required but the friendship of some pro visional committeeman, who could put in a good word during the distribution of shares. The letter of al lotment was issued, and in many instances sold for hundreds, aye, thousands of pounds, without a single farthing being required from the fortunate allottee. Every instance of successful speculation stimulated new adventurers to enter the Capel-court El Dorado. The lines in existence or process of construction did not afford a sufficiently ample field fur those embarked in pursuit of the Golden Fleece ; every quarter of the island was ransacked. It was enough to find a few towns without direct railway communication. An engineer was sent out to inspect, and in a few days a hasty report was returned, a provisional committee formed, prospectus issued, shares allotted, and brought out at a considerable profit in a few days. In many cases the visit of the engineer was dispensed with. The promoter only required a railway map of England, and to draw a few► lines from town to town in order to send forth a flaming prospectus. Wherever the names were high sounding, or large towns on the route, two, three, or four competing companies were in the field, and a fierce con test was waged before the Parliamentary Committees. Nearly 1,400 schemes were registered, which would have required for payment of the deposits alone nearly 60,000,0001. sterling, or 600,000,000/. for their completion. Men wholly without capital, or the means of paying a single call, fearlessly signed sub scriptions, undertaking to pay tans of thousands, and thought that their fortunes were made if they could scrape sufficient to pay the deposit. Such was the state of affairs, when in the latter end of October, 1845, the first panic in the share market commenced. Many ill-digested projects were nipped in the bud. Even the bona fide lines in ac tual operation felt the effect of the shock, and were quoted at reduced prices. There was as great an anxiety to " get out" as there had formerly been to " get in," and stock and shares were thrown indis criminately on the market, to be sold for anything they could bring. Still the panic was not as com plete as it subsequently became. Many companies went to Parliament and obtained the necessary powers, and some have actually been carried out, notwithstanding the pressure on the money-market. The commercial crisis of 1847, which depreciated every description of property, di. 3 not pa ss lightly over the railway interest. Toe quota tions not only fell in common with Consols, and every other species of investment, but the traffic was materially reduced, owing to the general embarrass ment that prevailed on every side, d the extreme depression of trade. Stock was flung ,on the market, and sacrificed for anything that could. be obtained, and when the change was produced by the virtual suspension of the Bank Charter Act, which restored some degree of confidence in other m afters, that con fidence was not extended to railway property, which continued to fall, while almost everything else ex hibited considerable improvement. This continued to the present year, but at length the sympV:oms of a change are becoming perceptible. Messrs. RALLTON, in order to test the value of the unguaranteed capi tal, assumed that a person on the 26th April, the date of their last circular, "purchased one share in each of twenty-three unguaranteed lines (the most attended to at that period) by an outlay of 7331. 16s. 3d., and kept them over until the 26th July, three very dull months in the share market, and without any apparent improve ment in confidence to attract particular observation. The result showed no variation in value upon one line, a loss upon seven lines, and a gain upon fifteen lines, leaving a balance of profit amounting to 3/. 7s. 3d. per cent. at the end of three months, or at the rate of 131. 9s. per annum." . . This advance, although trifling, affords a cheering augury. It shows that the feeling which has made capitalists shun railway stock for the last few years is beginning to change, and that as other channels of investment are becoming narrower, and money is accumulating in amount, with a falling rate of inte rest, a considerable portion will be attracted into railways, which cannot fail to improve considerably in value. One of the first measures likely to occupy the at tention of the Legislature in the next session of Par liament will be the Irish Land Question, and we think it is the duty of all who wish for the moral, social, and physical improvement of the people of Iceland, to aid the Government in the settlement of this vital question. Ministers are pledied to legislate on this subject, and those parties who would create any difficulties in the legal adjustment of the relations between landlords and tenaLts in Ireland are not, in our humble judgment, serving the cause either of the Government or the people. There is no inherent difficulty in the subject, save that which is inseparable from the settlement of any question where jarring interests are concerned. The laws in relation to land are not more unalterable than the laws which relate to any other species of property, They are the creations of the Legislature, and we conceive it is not only within the province, but that it is the actual duty, of the Government to amend or alter them as the social state and the public interest might require. It is idle to say that the matter should be left to the civilizing influence of education. The history of the world proves that no degree of enlightenment can work such a moral miracle as t ) elevate the general body of mankind above the considerations of selfish ness. The wisdom and learning of BACON did not preserve him from the meanest and most sordid in fluences. If those moral principles and those "better feelings," which should spring from them, were to advance hand in hand with the rapid progress of human knowledge, there would be no necessity fur the additions made, session after session, to our civil and criminal cote. We have no faith in these Uto pian anticipations; indeed, the answer to such falla cious doctrines has been written, over and over again, in characters of crime and blood. One of our contemporaries, in endeavouring to indi cate certain fallacies which he attributes to those who write and speak on this subject, has, in our humble opinion, fallen into greater fallacies than any which he has attempted to point out. He says— " Many persons are apt to suppose, that if they prove certain conduct to be impolitic and unjust they thereby establish its illegality." In anything written or spoken upon this point that came under our observa tion we have certainly been unable to discover any such confusion as is here implied. We are quite aware of the imperfection of our laws, we are aware that many acts of injustice can be committed which cannot be strictly said to be illegal, and it is to cure this defect, to prevent acts of impolicy and injustice being committed under the shelter of the law, that we call for legislation upon this subject. The LPgisla ture cannot make men good and wise, but it can make men act with justice. The same contemporary notices " another fallacy in which persons are apt to indulge who talk on this subject, and that is, that land is held, according to the lsw and constitution of the United Kingdom, in trust, and that consequently a landowner is bound by law so to comport himself with respect to his land as to make it produce the greatest happiness to the greatest possible number ;" and goes on to ask in what tent• book, in what legal decision, this maxim is to be found, &c. &c. We do not believe that any text-book or legal de cision will supply any such maxim ; we believe the absolute owner has at this moment perfect and entire dominion over his estate. 'We know that the land owner in Ireland can evict his tenant, raze to the ground the humble roof-tree under which his fathers have reposed for ages, and send him and his helpless off spring to perish by the wayside—we know that this power has been exercised under circumstances of great cruelty. 'We believe this power dangerous to the social welfare of Ireland ; we believe it has al ready worked much mischief, and will continue to work still greater evils without the interposition of the Legislature ; we would, therefore, call upon the Government to introduce some measure to meet such a crying grievance. There is no power, no right, beyond the control of the law and the constitution ; and one of the great perfections which jurists attribute to our constitution is, that it contains within itself the elements to cure any defects which time or circumstances may pro duce. We would, then, call on the Legislature to deal boldly but equitably with this matter, to deal between party and party in accordance with the most rigid spirit of justice. We would certainly in terpose some legal shield between the tenant and a capricious or cruel landlord ; we would save the in dustrious tenant from being driven out a houseless wanderer, and would give him such a fixed interest in the soil as would be calcu lated to make him a useful citizen, while, at the same time, we would preserve every just right of the landlord, consistent with those higher and paramount considerations, the preservation of human life, and the general well-being, peace, and order of the community. With regard to the asser tion that land in either England or Ireland is not the subject of a trust, we are amongst the number of those who conceive that "property has its duties as well as its rights," and that every landlord is morally, if not legally, a trustee. His rights are based on public utility, and we think he is bound by the obli gations of society so to exercise his rights and duties as to produce the greatest amount of good to the sucial community of which he is a member. ALARMING FIRE AT KENNINGTON.—TIIIS morning, at an early hour, a very alarming fire broke out in the pre mises belonging to Mrs. Mehery, No. 17, Lower Kenning ton-lane, Lambeth. The fire commenced in a blind manu factory, and but few minutes elapsed ere the lower portion of the building, together with the staircase, became enve loped in flame. At that period Mrs. Mehery and two chil dren were in their beds asleep, and it was with great trouble that they could be made sensible of their danger. They happily succeeded in escaping from one of the back windows. The engines of the London brigade and West of England office quickly attended, and plenty of water having been ob tained from the Lambeth Company's mains, the engines were set to work, but the firemen were unable to get the flames extinguished until the whole of the stock in trade was de stroyed, the lower part of the premises burned out, and the upper floors seriously damaged. The origin of the fire could not be ascertained. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—THE GRAND NA TIONAL. CONCEI.3.— We learn that it is the intention of the committee of the Grand National Concerts, to produce origi nal lyrical works by native composers. George Macfarren and Edward Loder are already engaged, and we believe an offer has been made to John - Barnett, the author of The Mountain Sylph. Belie will be the musical director; Herr Molique, leader; and the celebrated Musard is to be en trusted with the c ompo i ng an d con d uct i ng o f t h e dance music. We understand als o th a t th e wor l d -f amous c horus of tho Berlin Chapel Royal, con.isting of seventy male voices, under the direction of Kapel-Meister Neidthardt, has been secured. The orchestra will amount to ninety-eight performers. TIIE RECORDERAHM—Mr. Montagu Chambers has announced himself as a candidate for this office. EXCURSION TRAINS.—The excursion train from Oxford, yesterday, brought up to Paddington 3,200 persons. The train yielded about 6501., and the expenzea were, per. hap, 304 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Councils General of the Departments continue to express themselves as favourable to a revision of the Constitution ; but one only, that of the Pyre► ees Orientales, has demanded the prolongation of the Presidency of Louis NAPOLEON. The Council Ge neral of Avignon refused, by a majority of 18 to 8, to entertain the proposition for a revision of the Con stitution. The Courrier Francais, the organ of the Bur graves, has declared in favour of the monarchical pre tensions of the Count of Cuamnoßn. The Society of the 10th December is making great efforts to secure for Louis NAPOLEON a favourable reception at Cherbourg, as there can be no doubt of his great unpopularity in the navy. The Prince DR JOINVILLE is the idol of the sailors as a man, and the Republic is their idol as an in• stitution. After February, 1848, M. FRANCOIS ARAGO, Republican Minister of Marine, gained immense popularity among the sailors by in creasing the quantity and improving the quality of the provisions served out to them ; but when Louis NAPOLEON was elected President, one of the first acts of his administration was to revert to the old system of short commons for the sailors, and bad of the sort. He will, therefore, it is feared, be received at Cherbourg with cries of " Vive le Prince de Join ville ;" " Vive Francois Arago ;" and " Vive la Re publique !" but surely with no cry of " Vive le President !" or " Vive Napoleon !" save for a con sideration, and the society are doing their best to get up a Napoleon demonstration at ten sous a bead. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, declaring the Professorship of Mathe matics in the Colleges of France, held by M. LIBRI, to be vacant, in consequence of his absence, and that the amount of salary due to M. Liner is to be re turned to the Treasury. A second decree declares that the seat in the Academy of Science (section of geometry), hitherto occupied by M. Limn, is vacant, in consequence of his having quitted France on the 28th of Febru ary, 1848. A letter from Cherbourg, of the 30th ult., states that a steamer from Jersey, with 150 passengers, had been subjected to very rigid search, in consequence of a rumour that some of the French political refu gees were on board. The passengers, who did not know the motive of the rigour, were astonished at this apparent want of courtesy after the kind reception given by the people of Jersey to the different excur sionists from France. M. GEOFFREY ST. HILAIRE has been appointed Professor of Natural History at the Sorbonne. PARIS BOURSE, SEPT. 2.—Latest Prices.—Five per Cents., 96t. 30c.; Three per Cents., 58f.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from Vienna, of le date of the 26th Auguit:— " A few days since a dispatch arrived from Rjme, in which the intervention of Austria was requested in the Sardinian affairs. A similar note, it is said, has gone to France. Spain as well as Naples have been quite over looked, although in the documents the Papal Council de dare their attachment to all the Catholic Powers. The differences of the Papal Sea with the Court of Madrid, on account of the Papal dispensation for the marriage of Count de Montemolin, accounts for the one; and a fresh quarrel with Naples, for the other. The refusal of Car dinal Sforzs, confessor of King Ferdinand, to grant him absolution from his constitutional oath, is said to have originated in Rome." _ _ _ Immediately after the receipt of the intelligence Count NESSELRODE, the Russian Councillor of State, demanded an audience of the EMPEROR. Prince SCHWARTZENBERG went to Salzburg on Saturday night to receive the Russian diplomatist, and introduce him to bis MAJESTY. It is this fact, which has hitherto been kept a profound mystery, that has retarded the return of the EMPEROR for se veral days. This conference, which is said to be of .he highest importance, will take place at Ischl. Count MEDEM seta off for Lintz to-morrow morning, to receive the Chancellor. General PaoTT, the Hanoverian Minister of War, has sent in his resignation. _ . The Carlsruhe Gazette, of the 31st August, pub lishes the first part of a note addressed by the Baden Government to the Austrian Government, in reply to the latter's dispatch of the 21st July, relative to the passage of the Baden troops by the fortress of iklayence. The Baden Government declares that it considers it is perfectly justified in what it has done, by the approval of the federal superior authority, which alone was competent to decide in the matter. Nevertheless it will not decline to submit to the de cision of any future competent federal authority which may be established. The convention of the 28th gives it full liberty in this respect, but till then it will strongly repel the reproach of having failed in its federal duties. King OTHO arrived at Trieste on the 24th ult. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Danes have now possession of Suderstapel, south of Frederickstadt; but no other military operations on either side worthy of notice has taken place. By an ordinance issued by the Copenhagen Go vernment, the customs line between Schleswig and Denmark is to be done away with from and after the Ist of September next. TITE SUN, LONDON, BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPT. I.—The intelligence of the death of Louis PHILIPPE has been a great shock to her MA:EsTv, whose health is in a very precarious state, and causes great uneasiness to the members of the Royal family. RUSSIA. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger says that the Russian Government has distributed a circular among the ar tisans of Vienna and Prague, stating that there is employ for 300 carpenters and j.)iners in the south of Russia. Every workman who shall present himself shall receive a gratuity of 15 florins, independently of the expenses of his journey. The health of the Empress of Russia is so impaired that she will be compelled to pass the winter in the south of Europe. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. The Turkish Government has made energetic demands on the Russian Cabinet to withdraw the Minim troops from the Danubian principalities, or to declare its intentions ; whereupon Russia has in quired of the Hospodars whether they thought that tranquillity was suf f iciently re-established to allow of the dispensing with this occupation. Prince GIIIHA hesitated ; hut STRIRBET, who is under the influ ence of Russia, demanded two years for reflection. Accordingly, Moldavia will remain occupied by 6,000 Russian troops, and Wallachia by 7,000. PERSIA. We have dates from Tabreez to the 31st July, an nouncing the important fact that the SHEIK UL IsLam, of Azerbaidjan (of which extensive district Tabreez is the capital), a very influential personage, as being one of the highest dignitaries of the Church of Persia, has been arrested, and forcibly conveyed to Teheran, by special order of the Emir Naafis, together with his son, under a charge of intriguing to secure an exten sion of power to the clergy, to the manifest detriment of the State. Babism, notwithstanding the recent execution of its chief and founder BAB, the soi-disant representa tive of MAHOMMED MEHDJ, the twelfth and last Imam, claiming direct succession from MAHOMMED, continues to increase, and its followers are said to number in Persia alone 60,000. The village of ZFAadjan, which is their stronghold, though only containing a population of 8,000, including women and children, continues to hold out against five regi menta of well disciplined troops, which have closely besieged it for the past three months, ,and in a late sortie, 200 of the latter were massacred. It is said that the inhabitants have put themselves in a position, asreagtalredasstptrwovoisyioeanrss, against and warlike velikeesn a stores, to hold out io for force. WINDSOR THEATRICALS.- Last week Mr. Charles Kean had an interview with Prince Albert relative to the theatricals which are to take place at Windsor Castle next winter. THE MAILS.—The Royal Mail Steam-packet Com pany's ship Dee, Captain W. Allan, sailed yesterday after noon with the usual mails for the West Indies, Spanish Main, and Gulf of Mexico, in charge of Lieutenant Hay, 8.A., Admiralty Agent. She takes out sixty passengers, among whom is Bishop Hynes, of Demerara. She has a large cargo of general merchandise and specie, value I,oco/. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Montrose, Captain Bowan, may be expected to reach Southamptcn in the course of to morrow. CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. 2.— CLARE lIALL.—At a meeting of the Master and Fellows of the above society, holden this day, the Rev. Arthur Wolfe, M.A., was trans lated from a Diggoa fellowship to one upon the Freeman foundation. MOM: and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti• mated at 8,000 bales, of which 300 American and 1,200 Puritan were taken fur export, and 1,500 American on speculation. The market was quiet but steady.—Rail way Sharoiwere easier. The following are particulars of the Liverpool mar kets, as furnished by Messrs. Joseph Robinson and Co.:— " The brisk demand for Wool notified in our last cir cular, has continued throughout the month just closed, and we see no reason to imagine that any falling off is likely to take place for the present in the consumption. Accounts from the country bring the assurance of the abundance of orders offering and in manufacturers' hands. It is generally admitted that consumption is fully kept up; we find imports light —no surplus stock of new wool, and scarcely any of old supplies, then fore it is not out of the boundary of rationality to presume that the raw material before long will go higher still, especially as the harvest is progressing in several districts favour ably. Our market is cleared of nearly all useful descrip tions, and great complaints are made by the buyers of the limited quantity here. Sales by private treaty have been effected in Russian, Iceland, East India, Buenos Ayres, Egyptian, Peruvian, and Alpaca, &c., at advanced rates. There is nothing done in Oporto Combing, though Castel Bancro and Lambs' have found buyers. Turkey, Italian, Russian Fleece, and ether kinds of this class, are much wanted, and would command high prices. Scotch Laid and Whi:e Highland meet with ready sale at the quotations; also washed Cheviot and Cross; but laid Cheviot and Laid Cross move slowly. A parcel of Laid Galloway was disposed of, and on the whole a fair inquiry exists. , In English and Irish a large business has been transacted in combing fleeces: want of stock curtails business, and in sense instances consumers hold back from giving a further advance, which is demanded, prices being higher among the farmers than in the general market. "Ail kinds of Olive Oil experienced a fair sale until the last week in the month, when the mareet closed easier; absence of speculative demand is the only ap parent cause. The quantity held is large, yet prices are well maintained, considering the feeling evinced. In Tallow rather more has been doing; however, operators are not desirous of purchasing freely for the season. For Dyewoocts the demand has been to the trade, and a good business reported; an advance on most descriptions is established." The St. John's News, in a very excellent article on the Great Eastern Railway, furnishes the following in formation relative to the supposed route of the line:— " The folloWing is the distance to this route:—Halifax to Truro, 55 miles; Truro to Amherst and Bay Verte, 69 miles; Bay Verte to Shediac, 26 miles; total, Hali fax to Shediac, 150 miles exactly, as surveyed on the railway line. From this city to St. St( plm, as the crow flies, the distance is 64 miles, but if estimated at 84 miles, as the longest route to secure a good line, the whole distance from Halifax to the United States fron tier at Calais is just 340 miles. " A statemeut has been issued by an able engineer at Boston, in which the proposed railway is estimated to cost 28.0001., or 7,0001. per mile. This exceeds by 2,0001. per mile the estimates made both by the Com missioners of the Halifax and Quebec Railway and by Mr. Wilkinson. It is calculated 300 passengers will travel daily on this railway, and that 100 tons of freight will also be carried daily. The fares and rates of freight are stated at the lowest American rate of three cents (less than twopence) per mile fur each passenger, and three cents per mile for each ton of freight. With these rates, and an, allowance of 50,0001. per annum by the English GOverument for the carrying of the mails (being the sum now paid fur the Canadian mails from Boston to Montreal), it is clearly shown that the line will pay its working expenses, with allowance for wear and tear, end yield an annual divi dend of eight per cent, on the cost—that cost being es timated, as we have already stated, at 7,0004 per wile."

After bolding a conversation with them he called for another glass cf ale, and then tossed two of the men for a bottle of wine. The prosecutor lost four bottles, which he paid for. Witness could not say that the prisoner was one of the four men pre sent. After they had been drinking for about half an hour, the men lift the house, and on witness going round the counter he found Mr. Thwaites lying on the ground quite insensible. He appeared to be in a stupor, and witness had no doubt that he was drugged by those who were with him. On the arrival of his friends he was immediately taken home. As some cheques and a 51. Bank of England note have been sent back to Mr. Thwaites, the solicitor for the prosecution begged for another remand, but Mr. HENRY thought there was sufficient to commit him. —Accordingly committed.

To householders there are upwards of 1,500 objections, and.only 380 claims. The revision is expected to occupy three weeks. The official inquiry into the death of four Irish men who were drowned in endeavouring to escape across the North Channel from Sunk Island, in the East Riding, from the pursuit of several English " navvies," terminated on Sa turday lest. The jury haye sat altogether ten days, have examined no fewer than 79 witnesses, and have at length returned a verdict of manslaughter against two men named Bielby and James Brcwn, who stand committed to York for trial at the next assizes. From the peculiar circumstances of the case, the coroner has declined to allow the publicati?t, of the depositions. There is no doubt that a conspiracy existed to raise th e wages o f t h e district, which conspiracy even tually merged int o ano th er t o d r i ve the Irish from the works. Four men have been committed for trial at the next IJever. ley sessions on this charge. CHATHAM, SATURDAY. -- MELANCHOLY ACCI DENT.—A melancholy accident occurred to a child, three years of age, belonging to Samuel Langridge, leading man of shipwrights. It appears a fire had been lighted in the morning for the purpose of preparing breakfast, when the child going too near the fire-place, its chemise caught fire, and in the absence of the nurse (the mother being in her confinement), the mother jumped out of bed, and flew to the assistance of the child, and by Enveloping it in a blanket extinguished the fire, but not . betore the child had received much injury as to cause its death this mo 'ling. The mother, in endeavouring to save the child, had both her han,'s burned in a most shocking manner, and is in a very precarious con dition from the fright. 1 ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN.
