A n )141317R011,* Wgn S e C- etraordinary general _eeling of the shareholders of the Caledonian Company was held within Gibbs'e Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, this day, Mr. J. J. Hope Johnstone, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said, ftom the nature of the country in which some of the heaviest works of the Caledonian occur, considerable time has necessarily been required in order to provide accommodation for the workmen, but for some weeks past 2,500 men have been employed, and at an early period a large additionwill be made to this number. The Dire ctors have also been much engaged in effecting settlements with the landowners along the line. They have accomplished this in a great many cases, and they feel justified in stating that they sea no reason to anticipate any difficulty in bringing the whole of these negotiations to a conclusion, or to fear that the works will not be finished within the time originally an nounced.—(Applause.) The Directors have been, and still are, engaged in negotiations with other companies; and they have hopes of bringing most, if not the whole of these, to a satisfactory issue.—(Cheers.) You have heard of the union which has just taken place between the London and Bir mingham and Grand Junction Companies, and know that now, substantially, the whole line from London to Carlisle will be under one powerful body.—(Applause.) The Cale donian Company have hitherto been always cordially sup ported by the Grand Junction Company. With a view to a still more intimateconnexion, I am happy to announce that an arrangement has been made, by which, as soon as pos sible, an honourable friend, of high standing, now a director in these united Companies, will take his place as one of the Directors at the Caledonian Board. As a general principle, I feel that the progress of railway enterprise has been too rapid. I Hear, hear.) But good may come out of seeming evil ; and I shall not regret it if the result shall be to induce Govern ment to take a comprehensive view of the whole railway question, and lay down some sound principles to guide our railway legislation in future.—(Applause.) Meanwhile, with every one moving around us, we cannot stand still. We have given the best consideration in our power to various proposals that were submitted to us, and the result is that we have come to the conclusion that the schemes which we now bring before you wilt materially tend to the advantage of this Company. • The SECRETARY then read the following report :—" The time having arrived when it becomes necessary to make preparations for bringing before Parliament, in the ensuing session, such additional works or projects as the company may think expedient, the directors called the present meet ing for the purpose of determining upon them as notified ; and with that view, they beg leave to offer such an ex planation of each object as appears necessary to its being sufficiently understood. With respect to the first two, the acquisition of the Garnkirk Railway and the Clydesdale .Junction Railway, these lines have been always regarded as :the best modes of access of this railway to Glasgow, the former on the north and the latter on the south side of the river Clyde,. which divides that city, and also as the means of connecting the Caledonian Rail way with the projected Dumbartonshire and West High land lines, and with the various existing and projects(' railways in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire; and the direc tors feel assured that the terms upon which they have been acquired, and which are detailed in the agreements now laid before the meeting, are such as will be profitable to the Company, even although they were viewed merely as separate investments, without reference to their utility as essential communications for the through traffic of this rail way. The objects embraced under the third head are— I. A deviation of the main line at Carlisle. This is for the purpose of reaching a joint station, which has been fixed upon by the Lancaster and Carlisle Company and the Newcastle and Carlisle Company, as being in a very superior situation to that which was originally con templated. 2. Branches Irons Dumfries to the main line northwards and southwards, with a subsidiary branch to the port of Annan. These were suggested by the Committee of the house of Commons last session as necessary portions of the Caledonian system. 3. A branch from the main line to Langhohn, which would have a considerable traffic in minerals. 4. Branches from the Edinburgh branch to Granton and Leith, and to Queensferry and the Union Canal. The importance of the two former branches, for communication with the shipping of the Forth, is obvious, but if satisfactory arrangements could be made, that communication might be sufficiently attained by means of a junction with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and thereby with the existing Leith and Granton Railway. The branch' to Queensferry will supply an advantageous connexion with the Edinburgh and Perth Railway. The branch to the Union Canal will be only about 200 yarde in length, and is expected to command a consider able traffic. 5,6, and 7. Branches from, and improve ments upon, the Pollox and Govan Railway. One of these branches is intended to lead, by means of a bridge across the Clyde, to ' the principal passenger station in the centre of Glasgow, which will be one of the best in the kingdom in every respect. The others are intended to improve the connexions with the harbour, and with the other railways o,i the south side of Glasgow, and to afford to those rail ways an access to the passenger station above referred to. 8. A branch from the Castlecarry branch of this railway to the Garnkirk Railway, to shortern the distance to Glasgow for the northern traffic. 9. Branches from the Clydesdale Junction Railway to the Garnkirk Railway, near Dundyvan and Cuatbridge, which will have a very large mineral and passenger traffic. 10. A branch from the Garnkirk Railway to Airdrie, which will also have a great traffic. 11. Such sta tions as may be found necessary in connexion with the various branches. These are all the objects which the Di rectors consider it necessary at present to recommend for the approval of the meeting ; in order to bring the Caledonian Railway into full operation, it has been computed that the capital which their completion will render necessary is about 1,275.000/. That sum the Directors propose to raise by creating one new share of 25/. for each original share of 501. of the consolidated Caledonian and Clydesdale Junction Rail way Companies, and to allot the new shares among the share holders of the two Companies, in proportion to the original shares held by them respectively, and to issue scrip for the same on a deposit of ten per cent. being paid, and the Parlia mentary contract being signed." Mr. P. M. STEWART, M.P., in moving the adoption of the report, said—Notwithstanding the magnitude of the plan, which, in my view, always appeared as the first of our great national lines from England to Scotland, I never met (notwithstanding the various duties which devolved on the Board) with a more satisfactory report from those to whom such duties were entrusted, than I do on the present occasion. —(Applause.) It gives me pleasure to refer to one point mentioned in the report, and that is the proposed branch to Dumfries. When the original Bill was before Parliament, the Committee regretted that they could not sanction the whole of the Caledonian scheme then submitted to them, being , obliged to reject the branch to Dumfries. They said, on in specting it—l thought they said with truth—that there had been some haste in projecting the branch from the main line to Dumfries ; but it was suggested by the Committee that, to complete the scheme then before them, and which met with their sanction ' there should be branches, as now projected by my friends Mr. Locke and Mr. Errington, from the south, corning from Carlisle to Dumfries, and to the north, in going to Dumfries, thus completing the plan prospectively sanctioned by the Committee. There fore, I feel that we have a claim, and I have no doubt that we shall succeed in our application, and get that most im portant part of our scheme completed in next session. With regard to the operation of this great line in the neigh bourhood of Glasgow, I do think we should be satisfied with the report now read, for I know the struggle going on there, from the competing interests of the different rail ways. I know also the great wealth and influence, and the importance of that district to every line, but in par ticular to a great leading line like the Caledonian. Our Directors have acted wisely iu securing the points of com munication of which they have now become possessed in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, in getting under their contr o l the Garnkirk Railway to ie north of the river, and the Clydesdale Junction to the south of the river. I ant like wise certain that at our next meeting we shall have an earnest of the sagacity with which these great points were grappled with and settled; although there may exist in the minds of some of the shareholders a desire to ask why so much money should be laid out in acquiring them. But let them wait and see to what purposes these additions to our estimates are to be applied, and I am quite certain they will tied cause to be satisfied with this part of the report.—(Ap planes.) There is one point mentioned by our Chairman also upon which I beg to congratulate the Company; and that is, that by means of the Caledonian line coming direct from the heart and centre of England, and from the railway wealth and power of the neighbouring country, we shall reap the benefit of these companies identifying themselves with our line's in this part of the country. We Cave already in the state of things which now exist—by their holding of stock— we have already an earnest of their intentions to this end. Our Chairman has alluded to ether steps which they mean to take to Weedily themselves with us; and I do say that not only to the Caleclenian line, but to the Scottish interests In general, it is a subject of great congratulation that this is one of the many fruity of the improved communication which has introduced English capital and the energy of Eng lish minds in promoting the national and commercial interests of our country.--(hear, hear.) I will not trespass longer upon your time on this occasion, except to say, that I feel much gratified in being permitted to move the adoption of the export.—( Hear, ) Mr. CAMP:SELL of illythawood seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. WILSON wished to know whether there have been surveys made of these various lines ; whether there have been any estimates made of their cost ; and whether any idea had been formed of the probable traffic? The CLIAIIINIAN, in answer, said—The lines have been ac curately surveyed ; by the end of the month the plans will be quite ready to be lodged in the proper quarter; and I hold in my hand a detail of the estimated cost. The Parliamentary estirmatee are of course not vet made out, and cannot be, until the different sections are completed ; it is, therefore, only an approximating estimate; but, it is well known that the accuracy of Mr. Locke is remarkable, and that his esti mates are rarely, if ever, exceeded. I have also to state that traffic tables are in progress of preparation, and, looking to the intercourse which exists between the different points to which the branches lead, I have no doubt that we shall be able to present tables that shall be quite satisfactory to all the shareholders. Of course, if the directors shall find upon further investigation that any of the lines are not likely to pay, they will not go on with them ; and I hope the share holders will have that confidence in the directors as to be lieve that they will run into no expense which they really think will not be justified.—(Hear, hear.) The report was then unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of a series of resolutions, authorising the directors to proceed with the undertaking, which were also carried unanimously. - Oa the motion of COlonel Mdatearee, of Powderhall, seconded by Mr. MacoNocing, of 3leadowhank, the thanks of the meeting were unanimously tendered to the chairman and directors, for their great and successful exertions in pro moting the interests of the company. ~v~~~~ STANDING ORDERS FOR THE THIRTIETH. (From the Irish Railway Gazette.) The time is now at baud when the various projected com panies must commence complying with standing orders, awl it is needless for us to warn the promoters that no mercy will be shown in the ensuing session to any company that has not strictly, and to the letter, complied with standing orders. We shall briefly notice the principal standing orders which must be complied with on or before the 30th inst. • In the first place, the fifteenth standing order of the Com. mons requires the publication of the Parliamentary notices for three successive weeks, in October or November, in the London, Edinburgh, or Dublin Gazette, as the case may be, and also in some one and the same newspaper of all counties, towns, &c., th roug h w hi ch the proposed railway runs. Th e notices must be delivered to the Gazettes three days before the day of publication. In the second place, the twenty - third standing order en joins that on or bef ore th e 30th of November, immediately preceding the session of Parliament in which application for the Bill shall be made, a plan, and also a duplicate of such THE_SITN, LONDON TUESDAY MORNINGr, NOVEMBER 11 ' ,:`.:1845. plan, on a scale of not leas than four inches t 4 A mile, be de posited for public inspection at the office of the clerk of the peace for every county, Ring, or division in Ireland, in or through which the work ierproposed to be made, which plane shall describe the lints or situation of the whole of the work, and the lands in or through which it is to be made, or through which every communication to or from the work shall be made, together with a book of reference, containing the names of the owners, or reputed owners, lessees, or reputed lessees, and occupiers of such lands respectively, with a sec tion and a duplicate of the railway. The Standing Order 23 A, also provides that a copy of all plans, sections, and books of reference, together with a pub• lished map, to a scale of not less than half-an-inch to a mile, with the line of railway delineated threon, so as to show its general course and direction, shall be lodged with the Board of Trade, on or before the 30th of November. There are other matters to which attention must be paid on or before the 31st of December, such as lodging the plans and sections, as far as they relate to each parish, with the clerk of the union within which such parish is included, and also depositing a copy of the said plans, sections, and books of reference in the Private Bill-office of the House of Com mons, and in the office of the clerk of the Parliaments. It is also required that before the 31st of December, the notices enjoined by Standing Order 17 of the Commons, be served on owners, lessees, and occupiers, and a list made out distinguishing which of them have assented, dissented, or are neuter, in respect to the proposed railway. These are the principal orders which will have to be com plied with. There are other particulars, however, to which we need not advert, as they are mere matters of detail. Any company that is in a position to comply with the standing orders, on or before the 30th instant, can experience no diffi culty in point of time in complying with all the other orders.

POLITICAL GOSSIP IN DUBLIN. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) This journal was the first which noticed the report of serious differences amongst the members of her Ma jesty's Government. We did not say we had the rumour from official quarters—such an assertion would be lu dicrously ab,urd. We only stated the rumour prevailed in circles likely to be well-informed, and we gave it ac cordingly. From that period (about a month ago) to this, the story has been reproduced in a hundred shapes—some of which we have noticed, as they turned up in print. But, we do not remember that we have seen before such a distinct—may we not say, such an emphatic confirmation of our original statement, as we find in the following paragraph, which we copy from the Evening Mail of last night—the local organ, w 4 should infer, of the Castle, but, as in duty bound, the enemy of her Majesty's general Government. We give the article as we find it, without curtailment : THE UNITED CABINET ! THE HAPPY FAMILY ! We are enabled, upon authority that has never yet mis led-us —or, through us, our rerders—to publish the fol lowing important communication, the authenticity of which is intitled to implicit reliance : LONDON, WEDNESDAY.- Each recent meeting of the Cabinet has tended to increase the difficulty of union amongst the members, until the scenes now consist of criminatiocs and recriminations—dissension and differ ence—upon each particular point brought under discus sion, and great bitterness of feeling on all sides in th 4 conduct of the argument. The heads of parties—for the division is of a character so decided as to require leaders —the Duke of Wellington upon the one hand, Sir Bober Peel on the other. On Monday Lord Stanley openly joined the Duke. There never has subsisted a good un derstanding between his Lordship and the Premier. The consequence of this junction is, Sir Robert Peel has been left in a minority on two most important divisiom —the one in reference to the opening of the ports, the other as regards the occupation of Chusan. It was de cided by a majority, against the Premier's proposition, that the ports should not be opened for the imporin don of foreign corn (i.e., general grain crops), but that rice and Indian corn should be admitted at nomi nal duties. With respect to Chusan—you may rely upon it that Sir Robert was left in a minority ; and that the policy to be pursued henceforward as to France was decided upon against his views, and that the occu pation of that portion of the Celestial Empire wi►l bt ceded. Sir Robert Peel is in a very delicate state of health, and looks worn and haggard beyond belief. This is the first time he has ever had an attack of gout ; and it is not concealed amongst his adherents—the place-hunters—that it has been brought on by unea siness of mind, and the pressure from without,' heti at home and abroad. His satiation, politically and per. sonally, is precarious and forlorn ; for he has left him self without a political supporter upon principle, or a private friend from feeling. What might he not havi been ? What is he ? A Minister despised and de serted !" The paltry spite, towards the concluson of the para graph, against Sir Robert Peel, is so Remyish—smells so offensively of the shop—is so vulgar and so unmanly —that it would excite a doubt in our minds as to the en tire statement, if there were not indications from other quarters which satisfy us that there is something rotten indeed. that the state of Denmark. We do n o t think, that Chusan has anything to do with the matter, and with regard to the peddling about Indian corn and rye excluding the higher grains, we look upon this accu rate and minute information as mere rubbish. The dif ference—if such there should be, as we believe there is— did not turn upon any huxtering point of the kind, hut on this broad one—namely, whether the ports should be open to every kind of bread stuffs or not. We say, we believe there are difficulties in the Cabi net, not upon the apocryphal and tainted authority be fore us, but on the plain and undeniable fact, that there have been four meetings of the Cabinet within a week —a thing, we believe, almost unprecedented—and that no action has resulted. It is evident, that if the ques tion, as we suppose it to be, had reference chiefly to the menaced famine, Ministers would have acted before this time, if serious differences had not taken place. They would have directed the ports to be opened by an order in Council—or issued a proclamation for the im mediate assembling of Parliament. We do not say that either would be free from embarrassment and inconve nience—but the pressure is. we hold it, irresistible. One course or the other must be adopted, if not by the pre sent Cabinet, by its successors. MINERAL SURVEY OF CANADA. The report on a Geological Survey of Canada, pre sented to the House of Assembly last session, and or dered to be printed, is now published, and contains matter of much general interest. The Limestone formation, says the report, extenth at least 30,000 square miles of the surface of the province. It abounds in excellent materials, and its quality in many places is sufficiently hard to take a fine polish, and yield a good marble. But in this vast district, we regret to say, the search for coal will not be successful. Taking into considera tion the extremely moderate dip and the undisturbed condition of the strata of limestone, and the general even geographical surface of the country, and also the depth of the strata below the point at which coal forrcia• tions are found, we are not warranted reasonably to tin ticipate the finding of any coal between the top of Lake Huron and Quebec. But of iron the quantity found in the province is likely to prove very considerable. Considering the valuable deposits of this mineral already known !in Marmora, sladoc, Bedford, Hull, &c., and the deflection of the magnet over regions of great extent, it is not unreasonable to hope that a dilige n t seac h ma y di se li•se provincial beds of equal consequence as those of New York State. 'Tice deposit of gypsiferious shale, so valuable for its gypsum salt, hydraulic lime, occupies nearly 611 that neck of land which separates Lake Ontaiio from Lake Erie, skirts the shore of the former lake through Niagara county, passes by Cayuga, Yqk, and Paris, near Galt, on the Grand. River, and tuns northward towards Cabot's [lead, on Lake Huron. thickness of this depsit is estimated at three hundred feet. About three and a half miles below Cayuga, there is a hard solid bed of water lime, thirty feet thick. The gypsum, it appears, is deposited in detached masses, al most invariably assuming more or less of a conical shape. Adjacent to the gypsum, and indeed sonnetinlies intermixed with it, are vast quantities of water Erne. The beds worked in York and Paris are extensive, and produce excellent gypsum. This part of Canada, efe are informed, extending from Galt to Cayuga, cannot fail in time, from the mineral contents of the subsbil," to become one of the most valuable parts of the pi . o• vince. • An interesting discovery has been made of the existence of lithographic stone at Rama on Lake Simcoe. It is of the best quality, and the" - supply is viry large, which is the more satisfactory, inasmuch as this stone is only to be found in one other place in the world—Solenhofen on the Danube—and has hitherto commanded a monopoly price. Mr. Murray, an assistant to Mr. Logan, the sur veyor, speaks in his report of ct remarkable spring, neer Beamsville, which is frozen over in the sum mer months, but never in winter. " I visited it," he says, " on the 11th of September, when the wea ther was warm and sultry, and can bear testimony that it was frozen over then, although the atmos phere was at eighty degrees within the distance of three yards from its issue. It is concealed at.d protected from the solar rays by great masses of rock that have fallen down at the place. I have not yet teen it in winter, but can credit the report given of it, as similar springs are described by Mr. Murchison as existing in Russia, in some red gypsiferous rocks of that country, but no satis factory solution bas yet been given of the phenomenon." We sincerely _rejoice that Parliament has set this survey on foot, because it must speedily disclose the general mineral wealth with which the province is eal Gaulle. - DoNDONALD, N0v., 3.-Harvesting can only be said to have now been completed here. On Saturday the last of the outsa'iding grain was secured in the barn yardr. Many acres of potatoes still remain to be dug up, and in many cases the farmers hesitate whether to raise • them or not. The disease amongst them was at first - believed to be only partial, but time has shown it to have been too general and extensive in its ravages. With one or two exceptions, there is not a farmer amongst us but has already lost one third of the crop;' some have lost the half, with the prospect f the remainder, soon following the others; and in some cases the crop is entirely gone. It is astonishing to witness not only the huMble cottager, lint the wealthy and intelli gent agriculturist, following the very reprehensible practice of feeding their cattle upon the diseased potatoes. Some give them raw, others boil them ; and, though we have heard of no injurious effects following their use, yet there cannot be a doubt that the continued use of unwholesome food-, - however slightly it may be diseased—must, sooner, or later, injure the general health of the animal, deteriorate he secre tions—milk, for example—and ultimately generate disease and death.—Ayr Observer. EXTRAORDINARY CATCH OF FISH.-1311 Thursday morning a large quantity of fine bass, the fish weighing from 7 to 8 lbs. each, were brought into Plymouth, and landed at the Barbican, by some Cornish fishermen, who had caught upwards of two tons weight, in Mount's Bay, on the pre ceding night. Most of the fish were packed in baskets, and sent by coach to the Bristol, Bath, and London market , . The bass, which is very similar to a salmon, is considered a good fish.—Penzance Gazette. WARSAW, OCT. 25. In consequence of the fear of a scarcity of corn, the Council of Administration of the king dom of Poland has resolved to maintain in force till further orders the prohibition to export rye, barley, and oats, and likewise to for. i bid the exportation of peas, oatmeal, straw, and hay. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. TIMES.—We have more than once acknowledged and regretted our Inability to lay before our readers a perspicuous and compre hensive narrative of the occurrences which are now taking place on the theatre of war in the north of Africa. The want of good maps and accurate topographical descriptions of the country, the ab sence of reads beyond t he p rovince of Algiers, the roving character of the bet population, and the intricacy of the various relations exist ing and the French, are insurmountable obstacles to the formation of correct opinions on the incidents and chances of the war. For our accounts of the actual results of these opera tions we are wholly dependent for Information on the public in telligence furnished by one side only ; and great doubts must be entertained whether the whole truth is ever to be obtained at such a source. There are two vast inducements to falsification ;—first, the military motives of the officers scattered over the country, who doubtless extenuate their losses, and make the most •f their successes in their reports to their own Government; and secondly, the political motives of the French Govern ment Itself, which is not strong enough to resort to the dangerous, though salutary eats:dim t, of disgusting the country by a true account of the war. If the contest is to be carried on, it must, of course, be a little dressed up for popularity and speechification. When all the nakedness of its horrors trans pired iu the affair of the Dahra, France did not repress her severest disapprobation. It is not, therefore, wonderful that we should be in comparative ignorance of the real state of Afr'ea, when the French themselves know so little of the task they have undertaken. With a population probably not exceeding two millions and a halt, of whom a considerable portion have accepted the French yoke, Abd-el.Kadcr has compelled the French Government to keep an army, which has reached the enormous amount of 100,000 men, in continual activity. He has demonstrated to all the world, that the position of the French in Africa is an occupation, tut not a con quest. He has wearied and would have exhausted every feeling in favour of the contest, except the po'nt of honour, so deeply rooted amongst the French ; and he has waged unrelenting war, with one short interval, for fifteen years, without any of the ordinary resources of states, except a lion of fana tical and brave adherents. The successive advances of the French have been crowned with success, but a success which has only enticed them into more complicated difficulties; and a victory eventually proves more calamitous to them than a defeat to the native power. Nor has Abd- el- Kader been wanting in anything which could maintain his apparently hopeless cause. After the Morocco war of last year he disappeared from public ob servation, and eluded the stipulation of the beats , of Tangiers; but it now appears that his influence and his emissaries were ac tively employed in preparing the tribes throughout the provinces of Oran and Algiers itself for the most general insurrection that has yet been attempted. At the close of this summer the Etnir took the field. Marshal Bugeaud was absent, but General Lamo riciere was fully equal to the emergency. The total destruction of one French column, and the capture of another, soon showed that the state of the country required a concentration of forces. The lesser detachments were collected into bodies of 4,000 or 5,000 men, and were then strong enough to re pel any direct attack which could be made by tie Arabs ; but the more concentrated these forces were, the less could they prevent the sudden movements and operations of the enemy. The positions of Tlemcen, Mascara, and Oran served as the base of their move. ments; and, if the danger were confined to the west alone, they might with safety have crossed the Tafna, and perhaps pursued the Emir into the province of Reef; although such a movement at this season of the year would have exposed the French army to excessive difficulties, and would probably have led to no decisive result what ever. But meanwhile it became evident that the southern, and even the eastern districts of the province of Oran, were in full in surrection. In fact, it wou'd seem that everything has been pre pared for a sudden march of Abd-el-Kader into the heart of the French possessions. The road to the south of Mascara is open to him, and the great tribes of that district are in arms, ready to Join him ; so that, instead of pursuing a fugitive beyond the frontiers of Morocco, the French forces must prepare to defend the line of the Chelif. This Invasion wilt of course be a sweeping and transient act of vengeance and destruction, for the Arabs, whose only strength is in their cavalry, can neither capture forti. fied positions nor hold them. These Numidian horsemen will vanish as suddenly as they appear ; but, even if they be surrounded and defeated, they will suffer comparatively little by a reverse, as long as Abd-el-Kader retains his freedom. The highest tribute which can be paid to the personal qualities of this remarkable man is the opinion prevalent in France, that if Abd-el-Kader perished or was taken prisoner, the country would be restored to peace. With out any disposition to depreciate his talents, or his military and re. ligious influence, we nevertheless believe that even his death would not terminate the war in Africa. On both sides the struggle has now reached a pitch of exasperation, which tenders peace a bare impossibility as long as the two races are pitted against one another. CHRONICLE--When the Bank Bill was under discussion in the session of 1844, several important abstract principles were brought under consideration, upon which we preferred to reserve our opinions until experience should throw some light on their practical operation. And this, we frankly acknowledge, we felt more disposed to do, in consequence of the conflicting opinions of those who may justly be considered the highest authorities on these subjects. Opppsed to Sir Robert Peel we had Mr. Tooke, whose astute and laborious investigations in his highly esteemed work on high and low prices, and Mr. Mill, whose great attainments and sower of clear and logical reasoning, entitle their opinions respec. Lively to the highest regard on all subjects connected with econo. mical science, and banking in particular. On the other hand, we found the views of the Minister supported by Mr. Loyd, Mr. Nor man, and Colonel Torrens, whose distinguished acquire. ments and experience entitled their opinions to no less consideration. Such was the conflict of opinion among the highest authorities, who were altogether disconnected with the proceedings of the legislature, and to whom we were more disposed to look for sound opinions on such a subject, than we were to attach weight to a vote of Parliament. Our approval of the course adopted by the Bank rather condemns than approves the provision made by the Bank Bill, on which it was to rely for the objects proposed. The Bank Bill, if followed out, would have led to no such step as has been taken by the Bank Directors at this time. The Batik Bill professed to furnish a self-regulating course for the Bank, and to relieve the Directors from all responsibility with regard to the currency. Had the Bank trusted' to that rule, they would not, at this time, while yet the circulation is more than five millions below the sum permitted by that Act, under existing circumstances, have taken any steps calculated to curtail the demand for money. But the Bank Directors wisely repudiate a reliance on this selfaregulating principle, and, warned by their experience in former years, and especially in 1839, see the necessity of yielding to the first indications of an increasing demand for money, and raising the rate of interest. The Bank Bill supposes a power on the part of the Bank to expand and contract the currency at pleasure, and arbitrarily defines the precise time when such steps should be taken. The Bank Directors, knowing that they have no such power—having found by their experience during the last three years that they had no power to increase the circulation at will, and knowing also that as long as they hold deposits be. longing to the public to tha extent of 10,000,0001., which could be withdrawn at the mill of their customers, they cannot at p'ea sure even contract the circulation—act altogether independently of the Bank Bill, and take the only true course which could secure - their object, by making money dearer as it be comes more in demand. Had the Bank Directors been willing to wait till the self-regulating principle of the Bank Bill implied the necessity of contraction, the circu lation would have been altogether beyond their control. The Bank is acting altogether independently of that Bill, and precisely as it would have acted under the same circumstances, with the improved knowledge and experience of the present Directors, had no Bank Bill whatever been enacted. The only safe course which the Bank can adopt—and it is ultimately the best for the publi is not to rely on any arbitrary criterion for the rate of interest, but to be guided entirely by the demand for money. In any at tempt to raise or reduce the rate of interest by may other prin ciple than supply and demand, the Bank would always find itself baffled. But there are other important ways in which a reliance on the principles implied by the Bank Bill would have seriously misled the Bank Directors had they implicitly trusted to it. The Bank Bill infers that the only indication for contract,ng or expanding the currency is to be found in the state of the foreign exchanges. Now, had the Bank followed this criterion, to this hour they would not have taken one step to prevent a drain upon their resources. The exchanges are still all high, and as yet have shown no indication of falling. Nevertheless, there has been a drain of bullion within three months amounting nearly to three l i millions, but not for transmission abro ad. The state of the ex changes have rendered that o p eration im possible. The drain from the Bank has been exc lusively for increased internal circulation, for Te t h nh e net payment m o eer principleot of i nwages,tn which ill. of that Bill contempl a t es a dra i n of bulli Sir Robert Peel h as f a l len i n his and other purposes. B ut th i s fact sugg e sts only as co -existing with an adverse exchange, and, consequently, for foreign remittance. And on this assumption it provides that, in proportion as a drain of bullion increases, the internal circulation of paper shall be contracted, for the avowed object of making money dearer here, in ordei to check its exportation. But experience would rather prove that in every instance of a drain of bu,lion from the Bank, a large portion is for the internal circulation of the country, required in conse quence of prices having risen—and in the present case it is ex clusively so. And the mode by which this drain of gold for' in. ternal circulation is accomplished, exposes another weakness, if, indeed, not entire failure, of another part of the Bank Bill. That Bill places a strict and arbitrary limit on the amount of notes which each country bank cats issue ; and many people flatter themselves that that restrict on has materially tended to keep the recent spe culation within narrower limits than would otherwise have been the case. We believe no greater error could prevail. It is true that the issue of notes payable to bearer on demand has been limited; but this has not prevented bankers in the country giving any extent of accommodation which they wished to do ; b y drawing tills upon their London correspondents. This is net a mere theory. It is a fact, which has already attracted considerable notice, that bills of exchange hare been thus substituted for notes; and it shows how utterly impossible it is to enact any laws to regulate matters of credit and commerce which cannot easil y and effectually be eva ded when their tendency is against the inte. rest of individuals. And It also shows that the substitute for the practice attempted to be prohibited is invariably an aggravation of the supposed evil. POSL—We cannot too seriously or strenuously condemn the deliberate and violent efforts which we see made in certain quarters to excite great alarm about an approaching scarcity of food. Even if there were good grounds for entertaining such alarm, the sub ject ought undoubtedly to be handled with cautious moderation by those who have it in their power to influence the public mind. This is so obvious a truth, that the very violence to which we advert convinces us that those who resort to it are well aware that there is no foundation in truth for the apprehensions with which they endeavour in their rage to infect the public. The writers who recklessly drive the public into a state of panic are, we say, themselves awa r e of the wild exagge ration a nd frantic in justice which such a s t a t e o f panic produces. T he y themselves tell us that, when the public feel or fancy themselves endangered, " their anger lights at once on any whom they have been taught or are inclined to believe are their ene. vales or ill doe rs. They make no compromise with their excited passion s , no deductions from their extrem e theories. They hoard up a ma ss o f su ll e n revenge, which deepens more and more as each day brings its new want with it, until the measure of their hate is full and their violence is accomplished." This is in deed but too true an account of the desperate injustice and miscon duct into which men are apt to rush under the impulse of excite ment and apprehension. Yet they who see this, and who describe it so forcibly, are the very persons who are creating the excitement, and spreading wide th e appre hension I It is perfectly inexcusable that for any purpose s , w h e ther of a public nat ure or o f a less ex panded character, such meas ures should be taken to alarm the public. If th ere b e d a nger—of which the public has yet no evidence _men should be tau g ht to meet it with resolute calmness, an d to take such precaution as the circumstances render poss ibl e , and seem to demand. " This is just what we want," some will exclaim—. we want the ports opened for the reception of foreign corn free of duty." Yes, but you have omitted to prove the case of necessity. Mere assertion, however vehement, proves nothing. It may alarm the passions, but it will not convi nce th e reason. We do not dispute the public effect of alarmi ng the passions, wheth er the reason be con. vinced or not, but w e excla i m aga inst the injustice of asserting that which may be false, a nd of which, a t all events, there is no proof, when the natural result of such assertions is most mis chievous alarm. Besides, what is the use—as regards present circumstances---of opening the ports ? As well might a mats open the shutters of his windows at midnight because he Wards light. Our own supply Is better than that of our ne i gh b ours , wherefore, then, should we open the ports I 'lf there be really a deficiency—and we re.. peat that of any seri ous defic i ency the public have no authentic evidence—then the p roper course o f policy is to husband our own resources—to practice in time the virtue of economy—to take up less of our store now, in order that we may not be wholly without a supply before another harvest comes round. But there is no evi dence that even that p recaut i on is absolutely necessary. It is, in. deed, asserted that th e Mi n i sters , " having the state of the nation clearly and intelligibl y descr ib e d by reports both accurate and co. prehensive, and the qu a li ty • -' of the harvest distinctly characterised,', are bound to take certain steps. But this• is mere assertion The public have seen nothing of these reports. No doubt pains have been taken in official quarters to get the best infor. !nation of a general kind as to the results of the hatvest. No doubt this information has been before the Cabinet, and the reco. lotions of the Cabinet have been influenced thereby. But, since the Cabinet has issued no order—since neither the ports have been opened, nor any proclamation issued regarding a more sparing use of food, is not the reasonable conclusion that the official informa tion is not of that gloomy character which alarmists represent ? Unquestionably, as Ministers have met on several occasions in full . Catinet, and have deliberated so long, and yet have taken no step, such as an apprehended scarcity of food would dictate to rational mere, who have the responsibility of government upon their shout - ders, the natural and reasonable conclusion is, that the majority of the Cabinet consider the country to be in no Instant and pressing danger of scarcity. This conclusion should prevent alarm, and rave the public from being wrought upon by the shameful efforts which are made to produce a state of general panic and irrational fear.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 10. The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day till eleven o'clock. CLUN HOSPITAL V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. This case came before the Court upon the petition of the trustees of Clun Hospital praying that 2,500/., part of a sum of 3,3501., might be raised and paid to Earl Powis. Jt appeared that a sum of 3,350/. had been approved of by the trustees for certain buildings and repairs connected with the hospital. Buildings and repairs to the extent of 2,5001. had taken place, and the object of the peti tion was to have that money paid. The petition also prayed for an order with reference to the increase of the salaries of the warden, nurse, and barber of the hospital, which had been approved of by the Court. His LORDMIHP made the order as prayed. DAVENPORT V. BISHOP. The further arguments in this appeal occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. THE NEW LORD MAYOR. Shortly before three o'clock the new Lord Mayor, accompanied by the late one, the Recorder, and the Civic authorities, appeared in Court, and invited the Lord Chancellor to the Civic banquet this evening. We understand that the cause of the Lord Mayor arriving at so late an hour was in consequence of his Lot dship not being enabled to land at Westminster-bridge, the state of the tide rendering it necessary for him to proceed as far as Vauxhall. bridge, and from thence to Westminster.hall, in his carriage. ROLLS' CoUitT, Nov. 10. PRICE V. PRICE. This was a case in which a demand was made for certain costs. The parties were brothers. His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, reviewed the whole case. He said that it happened in this case, as it frequently did in transac tions between parties so nearly allied as the plaintiff and defendant, who had implicit reliance in the same solicitor, while they had a seperate interest, and who made no provision for any contingency that might arise. The circumstances of the case were simply these:—The plaintiff; in the year 1815, becom. ing embarrassed to a considerable degree, determined to go abroad, but bc fore he departed, being desirous that his property should be managed in a manner the most con ducive to his advantage, he executed certain deeds which pur ported to be an actual conveyance of his property to his brother, the defendant, who undertook to manage or to superintend the management of the same. After two years absence the plaintiff returned, the property being still managed by the de fendant ; the expenses incidentally incurred to be paid by both parties. It had been urged that this was a case of mere trustee • ship, of mortgage, or of agency. It certainly was not a case merely of trusteeship, because there was no evideace to show that in the deed of conveyance the defendant was vested with that character merely, for he was at the same time empowered to manage the property. For the same reason it could neither be a case of simple mortgage or of simple agency. In fact the character in which the defendant stood was 'a compound of these three rela tions. It appeared that the parties differed in 1829 or 1830, and the plaintiff demanded the legal estate to be returned, which the defendant resisted, alleging that he had claims which should be first settled. A bill was then filed in Chancery by the plaintiff, and defendant's demand of 2,400/. was reduced to 8001., of which he had established his claim only to 781. Now perhaps the demand of the defendant was just, but as he could produce no vouchers for the same, he must take the consequences of the position in which he stood. The present application by the defendant for the costs of the suit it would be hard to grant, when be had failed to establish his claims. Nor did be think defendant entitled as mortagee, when there did not appear to be any mortage ate all. Under the cir cumstances he would not grant costs on either side, the expense of the deed of re-conveyancing must be borne by the party taking it out. VIOE-CH ANCE L LORS' COURT, Nov. 10. (Before Vice. Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) ROBINSON V. DE LIZARD!. A demurrer was put in on the part of Messrs. De Lizardi end Co. against the bill of the plaintiff's, that the Mexican Government had been made a defendant, and that the active holders of Mexican bonds were not sufficiently represented in the case. It appears that the active Mexican bondholders filed a bill some time ago, re quiring the Messrs. De Lizardi and Company, the late agents for the Mexican Government, to pay over to Messrs. Schneider and Company, the present agents, for the payment of Mexican bonds, the money remitted from Mexico far this pur pose to M. de Lizardi and Co. But ou the ground of claims against the Mexican Government M. de Lizardi and Co., as having been the agents of the Government ai.d not of the bondholders, re. fuse to pay over. Mr. Wigram, Q.C., and Mr. Fleathfield were heard for the de murrer, Mr. Russell, Q.C., and Mr. Maylins for the plaintiffs. His HONOUR overruled the demurrer, but without prejudice to the answer afterwards to be made, and that the cause should be proceeded with; the defeodants having the benefit of the demurrer when that answer has been made. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 10. HILL V. HASWELL. This was an action on a case for an assault and false imprison.. ment, to which the drfendant having pleaded not guilty and justi fication, the case was tried at nisi prius before Mr. Baron Platt, on Tuesday last, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff, with 1501. damages. - - Mr. JERVIS now moved either for a new trial or a rule to show cause why the damages should not be reduced. The facts of the case were simply these. The plaintiff was a parishioner of the joint parishes of St. Bennet, Gracechurch.street, and St. Leonard's, Eastcheap, and the defendant was the churchwarden of the same parish; a short time ago the p:aintiff attended at the vestry, and demanded to see the rate.book, and on his receiving a fiat refusal, he put his arm across the vestry table with the intention of reach. ing the book. The defendant, who observed this proceeding, imme diately seized him, and the result was that a scuffle ensued, a police. officer called in, and the plaintiff' given into custody. The plain tiff was taken before the Lord Mayor, who determined upon sending the case to the sessions, binding the plaintiff over in ex ceedingly heavy damages, (6001.), and the plaintiff being unable to procute the bail immediately, he was conducted to the Compter, and there confined from the Satur day night till the Monday morning. Eventually the case came on for trial at the London sessions, when it was clearly proved that no assault had been committed on the defendant, and of course the plaintiff was discharged In respect of the defendant's case, but he was convicted of an assault on the vestry clerk, who prosecuted jointly with the dcfendant and another. The plaintiff therefore brought his action for the false imprisonment, and ob tained a verdict for 1501., and the Learned Counsel now moved on behalf of the defendant that the damages should be reduced or a new trial had. Sir FREDERICK Pottoow—Take a rule to show cause. Mr. Jeav is—Very good, my Lord. If the plaintiff will take reasonable damages the Court will hear no more of the case. SWEARING IN OF THE LORD MAYOR, The Right Hon. John Johnson, the Load Mayor elect of the City of London, attended this morning at the Court of Exchequer, accompanied by the Civic officers, in state, to take the usual oaths on his entering upon the duties of Chief Magistrate of the City. The RECORDER said—My Lord Chief Baron, I have the honour to present to your Lordship the Right Hon. John Johnson, who has been chosen by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The laws, customs, and charter of London have been duly observed in the election of this gentleman, and the most gracious approbation St' her Majesty, signified by the Lord Chancellor, has ratified the choice. By the laws of our municipal constitution to be an alderman, and to have served the office of Sheriff of the City of London, are necessary qualifications for our Chief Magistrate, and the very effective manner in which Mr. Johnson has filled these duties was the main instrument of his present election; but it was his early and deeply honourable course in life which first attracted the attention of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Johnson was for. merly the lessee of the Dartmouth quarries, and he has executed many great national works in the construction of bridges, the formation and improvement of our dock-yards, and, ateve all, the erection of that effectual barrier against the fury of the seas, comprised in that stupendous structure, the breakwater of Ply.. mouth. It would be at variance with the sincerity of Mr. John • son's character to arrogate to himself the undivided merit of this noble, magnificent, and most useful undertaking. lle rejoices to have acted under the guidance and to have been stimu lated by the example, genius, and great spirit of enterprise of the late Sir John Rennie. Mr. John.on disclaims the praise of being the sole architect of his present ample fortune. He acknowledges with gratitude that its foundation was laid by the ability and integrity of his late respected father; but in raising on this foundation the superstructure, his efforts have been as honourable as their success has been complete. To avail himself of every oppor. tunity ofpublic usefulness has been the leading principle of Mr. John son's life. During his shrievalty the defective accommodation of our metropolitan prisons were, in a great measure, remedied by the im portant improvement effected hY him, and for those and other services he received the public thanks of his fellow.citizens, and a valuable piece of plate from the Corporation of London. As a magistrate he has been exact and indefatigable in his attendance to, and in the performance of, his duties, and he is now entering upon the new and . arduous duties of Lord Mayor impressed with an honourable ambition to fulfil them to the utmost of his power. For its acquirement he possesses the entire confidence of his fellow-citizens, no inconsiderable element of suc cess. He is devoted in his loyalty to his Sovereign, warm in his attachment to the laws and constitution of his country, entertains a zealous regard for the interests of his fellow-citizens, and is firm in his determination to support their rights, liberties, and privi. leges, comprised in the various charters of the City of London. The late Lord Mayor is also in attendance upon your Lordships, H is year of office ends to-day, with all its duties accomplished. He retires. into private life amidst the general satisfaction and esteem of his fellow-citizens. I believe he has ex hibited in the dispatch of his pubic business great zeal and impartiality. He has dispensed charities with a D^Witiftil hand, been most hospitable to his fellow.citizens, and iu retiring from office with arprobation, they hope he will still find all opportunity to exercise those duties and virtues in the capacity of a magistrate and a private gentleman. The LORD CHIRP BaaoN, having congratulated the Lord Mayor on his election to office, and Mr. Alderman Gibbs on the satisfac tion he had given in the performance of his late civic duties, ad ministered the oath in the usual form ; and the late Lord Mayor, amidst a titter of laughter In a crowded Court, was then called upon to render up an account of his mayoralty. This having been gone through in the customary manner, the Lord Mayor in vited their Lordships to his banquet this evening, and then retired. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 10. (Sittings in Banco.) STILES V. MEEK. In this case, which was originally an action for excessive dis traint, tried under the Interpleader Act, Mr. Sergeant BYLES moved for a rule under the Act of the 7th of William IV. and let Victoria, cap. 53, I o show cause why the sheriff should not be adjudged guilty of contempt, and ordered to pay the costs. Their Loßintlips, after a short consultation, granted a rule to show cause why it should not be referred to the Master, to inquire and report whether the sheriff was in contcmpt, and liable to pay. meet of costs. Their Lordships rose at eleven o'clock, and the Court adjourned to half.past one, when the Lord Mayor presented himself with the usual ceremonial. COVRT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 10. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE CHAMBERS V. CHAMBERS-EXPARTE HICK* IN RE EXECUTORS OF O. ELWES, ESQ. To.day was appointed for a dividend under the estate of these bankrupts, who were formerly bankers in Bond-street. . Mr. GEORGE LAW appeared on behalf of the Rev. Wm. Hicks one of the executors of G. Elwes, Esq., for leave to withdraw a proof of 13,0001. against the estate of C. J. Chambers, and prove for the amount against the joint estate. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the claimant had made his election as to which estate to prove against. Mr. Law said he had elected the estate best for himself, which was at that time the separate estate, but in August last Mr. Com missioner Holroyd decided that several large estates, then supposed to belong to the private estate, belonged to the joint estate. It had been decided by Lord Thurlow, Lord Eldon, and Lord Hard wick, that a creditor might have his proof removed from one estate to the other, where the circumstances of the property had changed, and it had been held even that a creditor who had ac tually received a dividend might refund it, and prove against the other estate. His application did not go so far as that, as there had not been any dividend. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that although he had some doubts on the point, yet he could not go against such authority; but it was clear, if the principle was admitted, great Inj.istice might be done, as a party might prove on one estate, and get his own assignees chosen on that, and afterwards prove against another. The Soucvroa to the assignees said they were acting as trustees to both sets of creditors, and had only to bow to the decision of the Court. The proof was withdrawn from the separate estate. Several proofs were admitted, and the amount of the dividend will be de. clared in a few days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Perkins, a person of very fashionable appearance, who was described on the police charge-sheet as residing at No. 70, in . the Quadrant, was placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting a gentleman named Pray. Mr. Prendergast, the counsel, attended on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Pray was stated to be unable to attend in consequence of the injury he had sustained. Two professional certificates relative to his state of health were handed to Mr. Maltby. Robert Sutcliffe, porter, and one of the constables of the Quadrant, stated, that about half-past five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, he saw the defendant striking Mr. Pray with great violence over the head with a walking stick. lle was beating him in a most unmerciful manner. Mr. Pray seemed to be trying to get away from him Wit ness got between them, and took the defendant into custody. Mr. Pray had a cut, about an inch and a half long, on the side of his head, and was bleeding. By Mr. Prendergast—Did not see the .commencement of the affray, or know how it was cared. Did not see Mr. Pray-strike the defendant. On the part of the defendant, Edward Knight, a cab driver, was called. He stated that, between five and six o'clock last evening, he took up the defendant at an hotel in St. Martin's-street, Leicester-square, and was directed to drive to No. 70, in the Quadrant. On his way there he saw two gentlemen in a phaeton following. On his setting down at No. 70 the phaeton drew up in front of him ; the defendant having removed a carpet-bag from out of the cab into the house returned, and remarked, " What can those persons be annoying me for?" Directly afterwards one of the gentlemen in the phaeton commenced horsewhipping the defendant. ; he struck him several blows with the thong of his whip in quick succession, and then beat him with the butt-end ; the defendant protected himself as well as he could with his walking-stick, and at length the gentlemen alighted from the chaise, and a scuffle then took place. Mr Prendergast submitted that the charge against the defendant had been fully answered. Mr. INIALTIty said that under the circumstances he should only call on the defendant to enter into recognisances, himself in 501., with one surety in a similar amount, for his appear ance on Thursday next, when most probably the complainant would be able to attend. Two gentlemen in the Court immediately offered to bai the defendant, and were accepted. THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE PAST QUARTER. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) " The quarterly returns are obtained from 115 districts, sub-divided into 576 sub-districts; 34 districts are placed under the metropolis, and the remaining 81 districts com prise, with some agricultural districts, the principal towns and cities in England. The population was 6,578,912 in 1841." The public health during the past quarter, ending Sept. 30, was good ; for the deaths, notwithstanding the increase of the population, were only 36,008, or 1,870 less than the average of the corresponding quarters of five former years (1840-44). This favourable state of things was general. and was observed in the majority of the town districts of the kingdom. The southern coast has been unusually healthy through tha summer; the deaths in Brighton, on an average 262, were only 219 ; in the Isle of Wight, the deaths, on an average 183, were 121 ; in the Portsea Island (Portsmouth), the deaths, on an average 299, were 239; in Exeter, the deaths, on an average 200, were 160 ; in Ply. mouth, the deaths, on an average 224, were 191; in Pen zance, the deaths, on an average 292, were only 166 in the quarter ending Sept. 30, 1845. The mortality has been below the average in every district round the south-eastern and southern coast, from London to the Land's End; vet the average mortality itself is low throughout that part of the country. In the last report (p. 1) it will be seen that only 1-9 per cent., or 1 in 52, of the inhabitants die annually in the south-eastern and south western division., while the annual mortality of the whole kingdom is t in 45. In Austria, including the northern parts of Italy, the an nual mortality is one in 33 ; and the mortality throughout Italy is not less than in Austria, In the cities of Italy the mortality, according to official documents, varies from 3 to 4 per cent. In France the annual mortality is lin 42. The mortality was above the average of the corresponding quarter in the following districts :—Northainpton, Bedtlhrd, Yarmouth, Kidderminster, Leicester, Rochdale, Halifax, Bradford, Pontypool, Newtown, Holywell, and Anglesey. Leicester is an unhealthy district; the average mortality is high; the average number of deaths in the summer quarter is 325, and in the last quarter no lees than 457 deaths were:registered. The registrar of the east district re marks—" Since that time (1840) vaccination seems to have been totally neglected ; hence the great increase of deaths for this and the preceding quarter. I have registered 73 deaths from natural small-pox, and only four persons that have been vaccinated, and those only very doubtful. Measles has been very fatal; I have registered 57 death from that edidemic." The fatality of small-pox is mentioned by the registrars of Yarmouth, Northampton, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Coventry, Basford, Liverpool, Bury, Prescott, and other district, , , in their remarks. Metropolis-76 deaths from small-pox were registered in the quarter; the average is 130. In the week ending Sep tember 13, no death from small -pox was registered. Such an exemption has never before been observed since the new tables were published. Measles has been epidemic • 688 deaths have occurred from that disease. Hooping-cough has been prevalent. Of scarlatina only 194 persons, chiefly chil dren, died; the avearge is 47G. Only two deaths from priva tion were returned ; the average of the quarter is five. The weather presented this remarkable peculiarity, that the mean temperature of every week of the 13 was below the average. The mean temperature of the quarter at Green wich was 57 degrees 1; which is nearly four degrees below the average of the season. The month of August was five degrees below the temperature of the same month on an average of 25 years. Seven inches of rain fell at the Ob servatory. The results varied considerably in other parts of the country. The temperature of summer last year (1844) was two de grees below the average; but the state of the crops, and par ticularly of the potato crop in 1845, and its possible effects on the public health, render a comparison of the whole meteoro logical phenomena of 1844 and 1845 important. MAIL CART UPSET. -- Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, the mail_cart, which now conveys the Devonport bags for the mill at the Post.oftice, on its departure for London, was upset opposite the Commercial-buildings, Cornwall-street, Ply mouth, in consequence of the rugged state of the street, parti cularly at the corner leading into East street. —Plymouth Journa 4 IRON TRADE.—A deputation from the colliers and miners of Cyfarthfa waited upon Robert Crawahay, Esq., re. questing an answer to a previous application for an advance of wages. They were, as usual, very respectfully received, and were told that the present state of trade does not warrant an immediate advance, but that they should have a gift of 5 per cent, next month; and after the largest of the orders now on hand had been com. pl e t e d, -very probably a general advance. A -reduction of id. per pound in the price of powder will be granted them this month ; and a reduction would also have been made in the price of candles, had not tallow suddenly advanced. •To a foolish and an imprudent re quest for the establishment of a truck shop, he very prudently de clined acceding.— Cambrian. SUDDEN DEATH OF A POST-OFFICE MESSENGER. —On Saturday an'inquest was held at the Green Gate House, City - road, upon Janie. Daniel Hoibrow, aged 58, a messenger at the General Post.office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, who dropped suddenly dead in Bunhill-row, on Thursday evening. William Papcott, in the employ of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., the brewers, stated that shortly before eight, on Thursday evening, he saw the deceased suddenly, fall down, and ran to his assistance, thinking at first that he was merely in a fit. Finding, however, that he was quite cold, and apparently inanimate, witness procured the immediate attend ance of Mr: Smith, a surgeon, but that gentleman, when he saw the deceased, said life was quite extinct, and the deceased was carried to the pollee.station. It appeared that a silver ticket bear ing the Post-office mark, being found on the deceased, Matthew Peake, the police-officer employed at the General Post. office, was sent for, and identified the deceased as one of the oldest and most respected messengers of that establishment. He had been in the service twenty nine years, and employed as special messenger to suc cessive Postmasters-General, from the Duke of Richmond to the present one, the Earl of Lonsdale. One of the messengers, named Woatford, stated that about half-past six ou Thursday evening the deceased left him at the Post-office with official papers, and when going away, said to him, " Mind, if I am not here to morrow the postmaster's and other receipts are in my drawer." This was a very unusual thing for bim to ray, and in fact the witness never knew it to occur before. The deceased ap peared in good health, and was of regular habits. He was highly respected at the Post-office. The surgeon was of opinion that apoplexy or a disease of the heart was the cause of death; he could not state precisely without a post ',writ= examination. The deceased, it was stated, was in very good circumstances. He had been thrice married, and had but recently buried his last wife. He has left an on': daughter comfortably provided for. The jury returned a verdistlf " Died by the visitation of God." MARKET NEWs,(yEsTERDAY .) . CORIC.EXCZANCI E. • Wer e The past week's arrivals of Engli s h Wheat coastw is e on a liberal scale ; but for the most part, veiling damp weather, somewhat out of condition• ye first supply of Barley of home produce, as well as Flott:id large—that of most other articles small, if we excePt s t Peas. Fresh up, only a moderate quantity: of rle sso . Wheat was received coastwise, and by land-carriage mi's lot pie, yet the stands were somewhat heavily supplied with owing to the t he week's unsold qualities. Notwithstanding there was C s d6 average number of buyers in attendance, the Whea' s b e ttt was, on the whole, dull. However, the finest qualities n• bet Red and White sold at about stationary prices all other descriptions suffered a decline of fr°7 y eet to fully 2s per quarter. At the close of the m srs ell several parcels in hulk were unsold. Since our last , sc° t se any foreign Wheat has been entered at the 15s duty'V ois et importers feeling confident that the late upward Innv e in ge in the value of Wheat must have the effect of productively. lower impost. We had, therefore, to-day, coMPa r4 few samples on show, and for which full prices vier e ol e manded. This checked business, which was princiP ah lb e lea fired to small parcels, which were mestly taken at a trio s yet last Monday's currencies.
