From my Chambers in the West, Oct. 18, 1845. Sin,--The above account is more satisfactory than the re turns of the preceding week; the extension in the circulation has been checked, and the tables turned the other way. The large increase of 306,8951. in the private or other deposits, on the eve of the:dividends, is of a very unusual character, and shows the abundance of money. The decrease in the private or other securities of_ 54,999/. is but the beginning of a consi derable reduction under that head; for if parties can get bills discounted in Lombard- street at 2% or 29/ 4 per cent., they will of course cease to apply at the Bank ; the consequence will be, that large sums will remain in the banking department unproductive. It is true their Government securities are greatly reduced in amount. On the 12th October last year they had 16,353,834/., now t hey have only 13,348,643/, being a reduction of 3,005,1911. in the twelve months ; this amount can now be advan tageously replaced, paying even a better rate of interest than discounting bills at: three per cent., at the present prices of the funds. The bullion is again decreased ; still, the amount is above the returns of the corresponding week of last year, and the present rates of exchange even more favourable than at that period. The 'Bank having raised its discounts to three per cent. will, it is said, have the effect of making some men more sober ; of course in the same proportion as three bears to two-and-a half, that is to say, the maximum of speculation is to be re duced in the inverse ratio of twenty per cent. on the aggre gate amount, by the increase of one-half per cent. in the value of money, eras crcdemus, hodie nail. The real cause, however, for this alteration, is stated not to arise so much from apprehensions of a domestic nature, but that the Directors have at last found out that money is of more value on the continent than in this country ; but this fact was known to them last autumn, and had they then listened to Cosmo polite's remarks they would not have reduced their discounts from three to two-and-a-half per cent. at all, for at that very period the Bank of France was discounting bills at the current rate of four per cent. The thirst for speculation was at that time also in an incipient state, which the proceedings cf the Directors since fanned into an unquenchable flame ; besides it would have prevented this early and injudicious tampering with the value of money at the rates so recently established. It is an old adage, that large bodies move slow ; so it in deed appears, for the gentlemen in the Bank-management have required an experience of twelve months to discover that if certain parties could get bills discounted here at two and-a- half per cent. and employ the proceeds in the 'discount markets abroad, at from three-and-a-half to five•and-a half per cent., it would yield a large profit to those so en gaged and ultimately bring a vast number of continental bills in this country for the like purpose, which, although drawn by foreign houses, yet being accepted or endorsed by our first-rate merchants and capitalists,must ofcourse be con sidered as unquestionable paper at the Bank and discounted accordingly.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, COSISIOPOLITE. COWES,--.1.4;Lail OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) OCT. 24.--We have a continuation of the most splen did weather, no rain having fallen for the last fortnight. The barometer at 30.33 ; the thermometer at 56 in the shade. Amongt our fashionable departures are—Sir Bellingham and Lady Graham and family, from Norfolk house, for 131, Park -street, Grosvenor-square ; Major- General Richardson, Mrs. Richardson, and Miss Richard son, from Mill-hill-house, for Sydney-place, Bath ; Mr. Sergeant Shee. from Gothic-villa ; Lady Pigott, from No. I, Bath-buildings ; Mr. Burton, from No. 2, Bath buildings. The yachting season is fast drawing to a close, but we have still some few yachts in the roads. Captain Ponsonby's new schooner yacht proceeded to the westward yesterday to try her trim. The Flirt also stood to the westward. The Vice-Commodore is at Harriet-lodge ; Sir L. and Lady Shadwell at Egypt house ; P. Erle; Esq., at Beach-villa ; Sir Edward and Lady Paget, at the Castle ; Lord Yarborough is at Appuldurcombe ; Sir William and Lady Montagu are are expected at Grantham -house, and Lady Conway at Norfolk-house. We continue to have numerous arrivals, but the greater part of them proceed on to Ventnor for the winter. That part of the island is more full of company than it has been for years. GAS.—The shops and public lamps of this town were lighted with gas this evening, for the first time. Many of the cld'uns are very anxious about the fire-engines, and hope they will be kept ready. A number of old ladies will have a sleepless night—to introduce such a dangerous thing in the town, and on a Friday, too 1 THE MANCHESTER ATHENIEUM. MANCHESTER, Oev. 24.—Last evening, the members of this literary association gave their third annual soiree at the Free Trade-hall, Peter's-street. The attendance, as on pre vious occasions, was very large, the vast hall, capable, it is said, of accommodating 3,000 in a sitting posture, being crowded in every part by well-dressed ladies and gentlemen. The chairman, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, was supported on the right by the Mayor, on the left by Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. M. Philips, M.P., Mr. M. Gibson, ALP,' Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. Douglas Jerrold, and several literary gentlemen from London. Mr. Charles Dickens was to have come, but was prevented by the delicate state of Mrs. Dickens's health. Ml. Thiers was also invited, but was unable, on account of engagement s in Paris, to p rocee d t o Manchester. Mr. Sergeant TAi'ounn, who was received with loud cheers, commenced the proceedings by briefly adverting to the splendid talents of some of his predecessors in the chair. Impressive as the scene before him would be in any place, it became solemn, almost awful, when the true relations, the real significancy of its splendour were revealed. When they considered that this festival of intellect was held in the capi tal of a district which comprised scarcely less than two mil lions of inhabitants, engrossed in a far greater proportion by the toils of commerce and manufacture than any other dis trict in the world—when they remembered that this great assembly indicated an unprecedented desire upon the part of those who directed the labour of these large clasaes to share with them whose labour they thus directed, and whose inte rest they thus guarded, that literature, which was once the privilege of the cloistered few, but now formed the finest social links of this vast society in this vast city—when they bore in mind all these considerations, they felt that the object which this society represented, although in tensely local, was yet of universal concern, and they would cease to wonder at that familiar int er est whi c h he, a stranger, took in it, whenever it was presented to his notice , --(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman pro ceeded to congratulate the meeting upon what their institution had accomplished —upon what had been accomplished, too, in Manchester, in a spirit kindred to the exertions of the institution whose members he was ad ressing. He especially congratulated them on the boon which they had secured to the toiling thousands of Man chester, the precious Saturday half-holiday —that boon alike precious to man as to boy—when manhood borrowed the en dearing name from childhood, and sought to enrich it with all that remained of childhood's still-remembered feelings— (Cheers) —precious in the impulse which it gave to labour, and most precious in its result, when, brightened and graced by those modes which this association indicated, it left body and mind more free for the service of earth and heaven (Cheers.) In considering the benefits which the Manchester Athenaeum was likely to be the source of to those among whom it was founded, he would regard them not so much as afford ing a path by which a few might rise above their station, as promising a means of adorning and gracing that sphere of action in which many must continue to move. It might be that some master- mind might start into fame from their ranks ; and should such rare felicity be their lot, with how great pride would they expatiate upon that greatness which they had watched in its dawn, and with how pure a satisfac tion would they commemorate the achievements of their then illustrious townsman, when,satiated with the applausqof strangers, he would revert to those scenes among which his genius found its first expression, and earned its first prize. But it was not in the culture of such rare minds that he an- ticipated the happiest fruits of their peaceful viCtOfTesTiie talents which in darker ages might hate suggested the desire to guide the obscure but honourable sphere of peace ful labour in quest of literary distinction, could at present only be safely employed in adorning the path in which they originally moved. But if it were too late to be ambitious except on some rare occasions, for the immortality which earth cou!d bestow, yet, for that true immortality of which time's longest duration was only a vivid symbol—for that immortality, the cultivation of wisdom and piety was as momentous now as ever. They would believe him when he said that there was no path more open to the influenoe of heaven than the common path of daily duty. On that path the lights from various departments of their institution would fall with the steadiest lustre, and by that light they might walk in peace and gladness, if not in glory, happy in the opportunity of elucidating some great truth which might be reflected from the polished mirrors of thousands of asso ciated minds.—(Cheers.) After alluding to several other points, the Learned Gentleman touched upop, tin ituacial affairs of the institution—a sketch of which we have already given —and concluded by urging forcibly upon the assem blage the duty of supporting strenuously and unweariedly the institution whose anniversary they were met to celebrate. To the young he especially committed it. For their benefit it was especially founded—for its welfare they were especially responsible. Let them never forget, in this great capital of physical labour, how important it was that spiritual power should be awakened into like activity. Canning once said that be had called a new world into existence to redress the balance of the old; but let them keep the balance even, be tween the world within and that without, keeping steady the social vessel with contemplation's immortal freightage. Mr. MARK Pamirs, M.P., was the next speaker. He re gretted that it had not been in his power to have attended other and former anniversaries of the Manchester Athenaeum. If they had ever entertained any doubt as to the success of the Institution, lie trusted that those fears had been as fully removed on their part as he was sure that they were upon his own. It was evident that the mind of Manchester was set upon effecting its object. He saw before him the as surance that the Athenaeum would not stand still, much less retrograde. On the contrary, he looked forward to the pe riod when almost every young man of Manchester should he a member of the Athenmum, or of some kindred institution, the whole to work together towards one common object, and with one common aim. There seemed to be but one opinion in favour of the Institution. It was founded upon the best of all principlc , s—self-government. They were responsible to themselves for the management of their own affairs, and he trusted that that management would continue to be as prosperous as it had hitherto been. The Honourab'e Gentle man proceeded to allude to a part of Mr. Disraeli's speech last year, in which he dissected the lonely condition of a young man arrived from the country in Manchester, lowly and unknown. To all such the Athenaeum afforded a rally ing point, !he best possible refuge for a young man so situated. There he would meet with welcome and instruction—there he might amuse, while he instructed himself—there, while morally and intellectually he was cultivating his faculties, he would also feel that socially he was not alone. After an ap peal to the ladies, who had done so much for the Athenaeum, and an energetically expressed hope that they would con tinue their exertions in its behalf, the Honourable Gentleman resumed his seat amid hearty applause. Mr. F. STONE, who was introduced by the Chairman as an p.rtist of celebrity, who left Manchester when young to push his fortunes single-handed in London, next addressed the meeting, and dilated on the advantages which such au insti tution as that whose prosperity they were now met to cele brate held out to young students in the fine arts. He in ferred from the success of the Athenaeum a sympathy for the fine arts, properly so called; and he ventured to hope the time was fast approaching when a public school of art would be established.—(Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., disclaimed all pretensions to literary or scientific distinction; he professed to having attained only to this degree,—that he had learned to admire and honour those men who, by their deep thought or eloquent writings, had done anything to improve and elevate man kind—(Cheers)—and when he looked at that vast assemblage, he might say there were thousands present who might claim not to be literary men, but at least to have warm sympathies with the feelings they expressed, and to honour those who thus led the minds of their countrymen.—(Cheers.) They were met not for the purpose of engaging in a frivo lous amusement, or passing an idle hour, but for the pur pose of supporting an institution of the very best and noblest character—an institution which had for its object the promo tion, among those who at a very early period must become themselves the directors and controllers of public opinion and intelligence in that district, of those sentiments and that cha racter which would enable them satisfactorily to fulfil those high duties to which they would speedily be called. The very character of the district presented one of the strongest argu ments in favour of such an institution. It was more populous, more wealthy, and had more powers ofproducing wealth than any other part of the kingdom. For activity of mind it was unequalled ; he doubted if it were equalled by any other por tion of the British empire; and if there were such a popula tion, such wealth, such power to create wealth, and such activity of mind, was he wrong in coming to the conclusion that the course which should be pursued and the opinions that should prevail there would greatly influence the destinies of the empire and of the world ?—(Cheers.) The records of the past were those of error, crime, and suffering, and was it too much to say that mankind might yet be made more happy_ was it an irreverent thought that they might by cultivation more largely develop the divine faculties within them, and thus aid at once the human happiness and the hon our and re nown of the Creator himself? Time was when the destiny of nations was in the hands of one, or a few men; but a mighty change was now taking place, and in proportion as nations became informed and intelligent, power was diffused among them, and became transferred from the hands of the few to those of the many. Public opinion was daily gathering strength, and was marching on to omnipotence and an undis puted dominion.—(Cheers.) He admitted that much had been done in Manchester,—he doubted whether any town in the kingdom had made such rapid strides,—but still he could not conceal a from himself that much remained to be done. They must erect: for themselves a high standard and a noble aim, and rest satisfied with nothing while anything re mained to be achieved. It was not enough for them in Man chester that they clothed the world cheaply; it was not enough that many merchants and manufacturers amassed wealth, and that multitudes of industrious artizans were well paid, and in comfortable circumstances; more than this was wanted. Measures should be taken to secure a sound and real education, not so much among the operative classes as among his own class and rank, connected with the mauufac- tures and commerce of the district. He held it to be quite impossible that there should be a great up-raising of the ope rative classes unless there were a corresponding improve ment in the class next above them in the social scale.—(Cheers.) A great effort at some not distant period ' must be made for this purpose. When he recollected that the so-called national universities were not for them, and that from their honours and advantages the vast multitudes of that district were effectually debarred, it was not for them to fold their arms in apathy because they found diffi culties in their path. If they were surmountable, why should they not be surmounted? He pictured to himself the good, the intelligent, and generous people of Lancmhire and Yorkshire, dissatisfied with things as they were with respect to educational means, gradually rousing themselves from their apathy; and he saw a long list of names denoting large subscriptions for the purpose of founding, building, and establishing some great free college or university which should be for the especial service of those who were engaged in the vest commerce of the district.—(Cheers.) The principle on which it should proceed must be, that It snouta be tree, open to all—they should not suppose that the teaching, the imperfect teaching, of a couple of dead languages was educa tion, any more than they were to consider that true nobility consisted in a long line of dead ancestors. He hoped that the education which would be imparted would be of a prac tical character, and that with all the knowledge communi cated there would be associated those noble sentiments and generous sympaties which formed the essence of true wis dom, and enabled its possessors rightly to use the informa tion they bad acquired.—(Cheers.) lie did not despair of seeing what he now suggested accomplished at no distant day.—(Cheers.) Thay had warred with the elements, and chained the powers of nature to do their bidding. The very air they breathed would speedily propel them across a kingdom in a few hours. With increased physical comforts and advantages would they neglect the far more noble, be cause the indestructible portion of their being?—victors in the material, would they be content to gain no laurels in the intellectual world?-(Cheers.) Rather would they not, diving to deeper depths and soaring to loftier heights, rise in moral stature, and add to all those outward blessings with which they were surrounded those which were purer and more lasting, which would spring up as a rich harvest from the culture of the mind? He trusted every one he addressed would that night form a resolution to do what he could to make that county and district educationally what it ought to be, and what it must become, if they would have social order preserved, and the prosperity continued. —(Cheers.) The CirmustAx begged now to introduce a gentleman who had been long known to him, and with whom in spirit he was quite sure they had all for years been familiar-, one whosa graver writings had been devoted in the most earnest and thoughtful manner to the great interests of his species, and whose lighter works displayed the greatest mingling of wit and wisdom of any writer of his time, whether presented before the curtain of the theatre, or, as was sometimes whis pered, behind the curtain by a certain lady friend of his not necessary to mention.—(Loud cheers.) He saw they under stood well whom he meant, and therefore he would at once call on Mr. Douglas Jerrold to address them. Mr. DOUGLAS JERROLD was received with the greatest en thusiasm. After the cheering which greeted his appearance had subsided he spoke as follows :—The high object of your Institution—its many refining tendencies—have been so fully discussed—have been set forth with such various and com manding eloquence by your distinguished Chairman, that little, indeed, on such points is left for me to utter; and herein do I hold myself peculiarly fortunate. I congratulate myself, and I especially congratulate you, upon the very subordinate part I must necessarily play in the drama of this evening. I have, you will perceive, already touched upon the drama. I thought, before my present audience, I might venture to do so ; though, I assure you, there are certain circles in the great city I quttted yesterday, in which I fear, any such allusioft would have been considered to be very vulgar indeed. But having alluded to the drama, and having still your cordial welcome, I cannot but com pare myself to one of the very many walking gentlemen with which the drama abounds. It is the great occasion on which they appear that allows to them even the most passing attention ; not to themselves, but to the principles with which they are humbly associated—principles carried out by stronger, loftier agents—that they owe their presence on the scene ; and such, ladies and gentlemen, do I feel to be my position this evening. The success of your admirable Insti tution has been made so manifest to-night--its prosperity has been so full and complete—its noble uses have been so widely acknowledged, that it is as difficult to find anything new to praise as it seems hopeless for me to discover aught to con demn. Indeed, did I selfishly wish for matter for a more lengthened speech, I should wish for the revival of some good old wholesome wrong, and desire the presence of one of those bugbears of the good old times, one of those creatures of ignorance, that condemned knowledge for the like reason that the owl flees the sun.—(Cheers.) It had not eyes, poor thing, to bear that light created for the health and happiness of the meanest man that lives.—(Cheers.) But there is no such antagonist to fight—no such bugbear to grapple with.—(Cheers.) The Lady Knowledge, too long pent up in her tower, guarded not only by giants, but, more provoking still, by dwarfs—(Cheers)—and we have only to look back a few years, a very few years, to own there have been dwarfs as mischievous as any in fairy tale—(Cheers) — the Lady Knowledge, I say, is no longer a prisoner.— (Cheers.) We have killed the giants, we bavo slain the dwarfs. (Cheers,)—And how have we killed them ? Why, as Luther rebuked the Devil, , by throwing inkstands at them.--(Loud cheers and laughter.) Her music is no longer made the idle luxury of the few, but is acknow ledged in the daily want of the many.—(Cheers.) It is a proud thing for you, people of Manchester, that you have erected a temple to her—a temple, wherein the hum blest of your fellow-townsmen may come and listen to her. and feel his nature at once softened and elevated by the magic of her voice. —(Cheers.) To say that it offered to such the sweetest solace after the day of toil—to say that it imparted to him a keener consciousness of the dignity of his na ture—to say, that whilst teaching them their own right ful position in the world, it makes them respect the rightful position of others, is only to translate into the merest common-place the oft-repeated eloquence of gifted men.—(Loud cheers.) These things are now truisms. But human nature is apt to be ungrateful to truisms; for, let us not forget how fortunate it is for us that we live in an age when they are truisms.—(Cheers.) For truths, like oaks, are of slow growth ; and it is with the early truth as with the acorn—show it to merest ignorance, and it. cannot conceive how that little germ should hold within it a latent power that, duly developed, shall breast the billow, and defy the thunder.—(Loud cheers.) And so has truth grown, but with this sad diffErence, that it has too often been watered with the blood of those who have dared to plant it.—(Cheers.) Happy then is it for us, and for the blessing ought we to render up most humble and hearty thanks that we may to night be gathered together under its branches—(Cheers), for your institution is a great truth—(Cheers)—a truth, it may be, planted amidst the fears of the timid, the sneers of the foolish, the misgivings of really well-meaning folks, who - still thought that that . truth for - the masses was the barley sugar of children.—(Cheers and laughter.) They might hays a little just a little when very good—but to allow them to have their fill of it, was to risk a terrible derange ment of the body social.—(Loud cheers.) With the success of your Institution made as clear as the sun, it is amusing, it is more, it is instructive, to remember the prophecies of certain men, who predicted that the very light that would play about instruction such as yours would only herald what to them appeared the total destruction of what they consi dered the best foundations of society.—(Cheers.) These men have reminded me of a story I have read in one of Captain Parry's voyages of a certain bear.—(Cheers and laughter.) The poor beast had drifted upon a loose piece of ice into the sun. And as he was borne into a yet warmer and warmer latitude, he felt his footing melt and melt away; and then, the story says, he growled and roared as though heaven and earth were coming together.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) And so was it with these men—and the species, I fear is even now not wholly extinct—(Cheers)—they could not conceive that the very current of time that was bearing them yet nearer to the sun of k now l e d ge, was not bearing them to destruction. But it is not so, for it is not with men as with bears.—(Cheers.) The tide that carries us on in knowledge, which is power, gives to us that best, that noblest element of power—gentleness, which, in the fullness of its teaching, will bear all men to that happy end, of which institutions like yours are the most hopeful beginning.— (Lend and continued cheering.) Mr. M. GIBSON congratulated them on the improving prospects of the Athenxum. They heard in other places of panics, and of stock being down in the market; but, judging from that meeting, be might say the Athenasum stock was at a high premium. It was an excellent investment; a per manent investment, which if it did not give a direct pecu niary return, offered one which money could not purchase, but which all could attain in the advantages of true mental culture. It was natural to foiled such an institution in a commercial community. The genius of commerce was diffusion, and not content with extending the material com forts of life, they were combined together for the purpose of diffusing intellectual and moral blessing. The first English printer, Caxtep, was a merchant, and that great mercantile community leffs now engaged in extending through all its members the blessings which the printing-press had bestowed on society.—(Cheers.) Their friend Mr. Bright had referred to Oxford and Cambridge ; he might also have dwelt on the powerful influence which such societies as this had on these older institutions, the universities of the land. There was a time when it was thought dero gatory to men of noble birth to possess the commonest rudi ments of knowledge. They were told by Mr. Southey, in his work on "The Progress of Society," that the time had not long gone by when a nobleman would think it a test of his high birth that he should be totally ignorant, and not even be possessed of the power of reading and writing. Was it possible to believe that such a state of things existed? Such undoubtedly was the fact; and at our national univer sities degrees were conferred on men of high birth without preliminary examination. But knowledge was becoming spread through all classes of society, and the consciousness that knowledge is power had brought on the necessity of giving a sound education to men of all ranks and condi tions. He congratulated them on the success of their insti tution, and hoped that kindred societies would spread over the length and breadth of the land, confident that with an improved mental culture there would come happiness and prosperity, and, with general education can led into practice, additional force and effect would be given to those words of Scripture, " Honour all men."—(Cheers.) Mr. LOVER, who bad often appeared before the members of the Manchester Athenaiurn as a public servant, was proud at the invitation to come among them as a guest. He had tra versed every quarter of England, and had never met with so intelligent an audience as in the manufacturing districts. Many a time and oft, when, before the titled audiences of Hanover square, lie had ventured to utter what he thought a pleasantry to the cold simper of the "reserved seats," had he longed for the generous laugh and ready sympathy of the back seats of the Manchester Athenamm.—(Cheers.) He had always found that the circles of society were like the circles of the atmosphere—the higher, the colder they were. —(Cheers.) He rejoiced that he had been enabled to be pre sent en that occasion to see so brilliant an assembly, which was large enough to make half-a-dozen good audiences ; for at one time he much feared he should have been prevented by his engagements in another part of the country, for indeed he might say he was almost in the same predicament with Mr. C. Dickens, for the place he was very nearly detained at was called Beddicomb.—(Cheers and much laughter.) Mr. COBDEN proposed a vote of thanks to the Directors of the Athenmum, to whom they were all so largely indebted fur providing that delightful meeting. They were the first to set the example of drawing from their privacy literary men to take the lead in assemblies of that sort ; and in so doing he thought they were placed in their proper sphere.— (Cheers.) When Mr. Dickens two years ago came forward from his closet to preside at their meeting, and when he saw assembled around him all the wealth and intelligence and influence of the district, be felt that there was an era in the social history of the country.—(Cheers.) Literary men had not held their true position in this country. 'While in France the leading men, the natural leaders of the country, were those renowned for their g e ni us an d i n t e ll ect, in England they held no social position, but were like hermits living in their cells. The reason, he believed, was they did not know the literary men of their country.—(Hear, and cheers.) They were indebted to their Committee for making them better acquainted with their literary men, and he had little doubt that among other contributions to public usefulness that institution had made, it would be recorded that it had been instrumental in produc ing a new estimate of literary men, which would not stop in their appreciation of them as the leaders and champions of a large section of the most intelligent portion of the middle classes ; but they would, ere long, see the men of science and literature holding that rank which they did in France— (Cheers)—and proud indeed:they would 'have reason to be when they thought that the course of the Manchester Athe naeum bad contributed to so desirable a result.—(Loud cheers.) They had Mrs. Caudle with them that night— (Cheers and laughter)—and, therefore they must not forget that the hour was getting on, and there were other amuse ments in store for some of them ; he would not, therefore, 'detain them with any further observations.—(Cheers. ) Mr. Hay WOOD seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation, and responded to by Mr. E. Watkins. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and three cheers for his lady, the seats were removed, and dancing com menced. Two military bands were in attendance, and played during the evening many favourite overtures and grand selections of music. IMPORTANT itAIL WAY AMALGA- RATION. A considerable sensation was caused yesterday, in Liver pool, by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham Railway- Company with that of the Grand Junction, a measure which involves important and valuable consequences to the proprietors, and will, it is expected, lead to results very advantageous to the public. On a calculation of the respective interests of the par ties, it appeared, that while the London and Bir mingham line yielded the full dividend of ten per cent., the Grand Junction was in a condition to pay twelve per cent., so that the equalisation of the two properties, for equal dividends in future, required that the Grand Junction shares should be " written up" twenty pounds per share ; and it was, therefore, agreed that new shares, of twenty pounds each, should be created free cf cost, to be added to the original shares, and the whole formed into common stock, entitled to common dividends from the Ist October inst. It has been determined, also, we understand, that on the London and Birmingham line: the Company will now commence being their own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will at once be made in the charges for the conveyance both of goods and passengers, so as to render the calculations upon which any project of competing lines may be based extremely unpromising. By arrangements in progress the consolidated company will proceed to establish what has long been con sidered a desideratum, a complete system of trunk lines from London to Glasgow (via* the Carlisle and the Caledonian); and from London to Holyhead; and across Ireland; and they have decided to encourage in every way the formation, into such trunk lines, of the most direct lines subserving the trade of the country.—Liverpool Mercury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Daniel Garrett, who stands charged with 'committing nine robberies from railway stations, was brought before Mr. Al derman .Hughes Hughes for final examination. The prisoner looked pale and less at ease than before. He had been al ready committed on seven charges of felony. Mr. Clarkson said he had a little evidence to add in one case, that of stealing a black portmanteau with its con tents, value 201., the property of Mr. Daniel, of Bath, who was a passenger on the Great Western Railway, on the 29th of July. Collard, the officer employed to superintend the railway police, produced a pair of 'Wellington boots, which he took from the prisoner's feet at the last examination. Mr. Daniel identified them as part of the contents of his portmanteau. A further portion was found at the prisoner's lodging. The depositions were read and signed, and the prisoner was committed on this charge. The depositions, as originally taken, respecting the stealing of Mr. Prance's writing case, and upon which Garrett is to be indicted jointly with Maynard. the estate agent, were then read over to the witnesses, and Mr. Alderman HUGHES Huonxs committed the prisoner on this charge. - Mr. Nash, clerk to Messrs. Swain and Co., the solicitors for the prosecution, in reply to a question, stated that some pro perty supp ose d t o h ave b een s t o l en had not yet been claimed. Mr. Clarkson applied for a certificate, allowing the expenses already incurred. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said it was a case of the utmost possible importance to the public, and therefore he would grant the application. The book-keeper at the Blossoms Inn appeared to answer a complaint for not delivering five packages of fruit which arrived at his inn, addressed to Edwin Price, No. 8, Three Dagger-court, Cripplegate, within 24 hours after their arrival. It appeared that the goods were sent by a van in due time, but the driver had directions not to deliver them until he had the innkeeper's demand for carriage, &c., 22s , first placed in his hand. The carman obeyed his order. Price claimed that the goods should be first delivered, but exhibited the 225., and offered to stake the money in the hands of the nearest publican ; but the carman was im moveable, and drove off with the goods. The book-keeper claimed the right to hold_ goods for the carriage due in respect to than. Mr. Alderman Wool) said it was necessary that he should remove a misunderstanding upon the point. To prevent frauds, and for the protection of the public, the law required that the goods should be delivered within a certain time at all events, and whether the carriage and porterage were paid or refused. But the statute gave ample protection to the innkeeper, for it provided that if a person received the goods and refused to pay the proper charges, a warrant might be forthwith issued by a magistrate, to bring the party before him, and saddle him with costs for loss of time. He there fore fined the defendant 20s. for non-delivery. WORSHIP-STREET. CRUEL CASE OF DESERTION.—James Panther, a middle aged man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, charged, at the instance of the parish authorities of St. Luke, with having deserted his wife and five children, who had been for upwards of two years charge able to that parish. Messrs. Blake and Gregg, the overseers, attended in sup port of the complaint, and said that they were instructed to prosecute the prisoner to the utmost extent, as a more heart less and aggravated case had never come under their cogni sance. The prisoner's wife, a woman of very lady-like address and deportment, stated that her husband had for a length of time held a commercial appointment in the city, at a salary of 2001. per annum, and that they had lived together in comfort and happiness until about two years and a half ago, when she discovered that he had formed a clandestine intimacy with a woman of abandoned character. About a week after the fact had come to her knowledge, the prisoner suddenly left home under the pretence of being called into the country upon ur gent business, and she had never since seen or heard of him u o p n p t thy to e for m a e s t s s t t h a a n t e e d , r s il o \ f C a o n u d r tC. ch i ta r N o ' n in w g o u r e o r f o r d i e u n c d o s d t t o o the utmost distress; and they were at length reluctantly compelled to throw themselves upon the parish, by which they had been entirely supported for the last t',o years. 7,353 4,885 ' Charles Garner, a parish beadle, stated that since th prisoner had absconded every effort had been made to trace his retreat, but without success, until about a week ago, ' when it was ascertained that he had established himself in business at Exeter, where he was living under the assumed name of Brown, in cohabitation with the woman with whom he had eloped. Witness accordingly proceeded to that place with a warrant for his apprehension, and on his ar rival was directed to a well-stocked mercer's shop, with the name "Brown" inscribed over the front; and after waiting ' some time the prisoner made his appearance with a quantity of goods he had just purchased. The witness immediately addressed him by his real name, and charged him with abandoning his wife and children in London ; but the pri soner, with affected indignation, declared that he was mis . taken, as he had been in business in Exeter for many years, I and threatened him with the severest consequences if he ventured to act upon the false information he had received. Witness, however, was so positive as to his identity, that lie . at once took the prisoner into custody, and brought him to . town, when he was immediately recognised as the person who had absconded. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that when he left home it was his full intention to return to his wife and family as soon as possible, but having been seized in the country with a rheumatic fever, he was reduced to such a state cf destitution, that he had not the means of carrying out his design. He was now both ready and willing to enter into an arrangment to relieve the parish of the burden of sup porting his family, and would defray all the expenses that had been incurred in their behalf. Mr.BROTIGIITON said that a more heartless and profligate case of desertion had never come before him, and he should be wanting in his duty to the public if he did not • visit it with adequate punishment.. He should, therefore, convict the prisoner of being an idle and disorderly person, and commit him forthwith to the House of Correction for one month's hard labour, and at the expiration of that period, the parish authorities might still proceed against him fer the amount of their claims. THAMES. A POLITICIAN.—Paddy Donnelly, a broad-shouldered, big-featured, son of the sod, who, though 35 years in this country, is quite as vivid in his political feelings, ns when recens tmbutus, was charged with assaulting police-con stable Mumford, 207 C, whilst in the execution of his duty. Mumford stated that about ten o'clock on the previous night, as he was going through Cannon-street, St. George's in the East, he heard cries of " Murder," " Police," which, on coming up, he found proceeded from the prisoner. He said, " I am a constable ; what do you want ?" But the prisoner continued his cry, and created such a disturbance that witness was compelled to take him to the station- house. On arriving there, the prisoner, without any provocation, gave him a blow in the mouth, which cut his lip, and made him look down his nose, as if he had stolen a hammer, say ing, " Take that, you Orangeman." : Mr. BALLANTINE—Mby, Mumford, I think you're an Englishman ? Mumford—l am, your Worship. • Mr. BALLANTINE—Then it is not likely that you'd indulge in any of these silly disturbances. ~.........A Done] ly—Paith then did he, your Worship.

May be I had no right to cry out murder afther I was kilt. Mr. BALLArrrsiz—lf you are well advised, Mr. Donelly, you'll abstain from political discussions. The subject is rather too exciting for the generality of your countrymen. Donelly—l had the best of the argument, and that's the raison he struck me. Shure any one that was kilt that way would cry out murder.. Mr. BALLANTINE—I cannot believe your statement. As I observed before, Mumford is not aware of the silly disturb ance to which you allude, and for the assault on the con stable I shall send you to the House of Correction for four teen days. Paddy was led from the dock with the conscious dignity of a political martyr who is proud to suffer from the avowal of his opinion. .._ A CRIMPING COMMITTEE.-- William Fieldgate, a lodging house keeper for sailors, and a dealer in their advance notes, was charged with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of a Jersey lad. The case, in all its phases, showed the impo sitions to which seamen are at present liable from the par ties with whom they have to deal during their short so journs ashore. It appeared from the evidence, that on Saturday three weeks the prosecutor left the Jersey Lass, and went to lodge with the prisoner, at 41, Lower Grove. street, St. George- in the-East, taking his kit with him. He stayed there three weeks and two days, during which time he gave the pri oner the whole balance of his wages, amounting to 41.175. 6d., and an advance note for 2/. 55., which he received on joining another vessel called the Cumberland. When his bag was sent on board the Cumberland, he missed the suit of clothes for which the prisoner had paid 4s. 6d. out of the money ad vanced by the prosecutor. He asked the prisoner for them on Sunday, when the latter said he had pawned them for 145., alleging that the 4/. 17s. 6d. cash, and the advance note for 2/. 55., did not make them square as to the clothee, diet, and lodging. On Thursday evening again the prosecutor de manded his clothes, but the prisoner, who was standing at his door, which was elevated by two steps, gave him a kick in the mouth. He was then given to a constable on the pre sent charge, Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, said the pro secutor had given his client permission to pledge the clothes for abalance due for board and lodging, as well as for cash advanced at different times. a This, however, was denied by the prosecutor, who said he never gave him leave to pawn the articles, nor had he received any cash. Mr. Pelham said if, es he would call evidence to prove, his client had taken the clothes, the case was the same as if a landlord distrained for rent. Mr. BALLANTINE—Not exactly, for in this case your client has broken bulk and pawned the articles. In any case which looks like a felony, where these lodging-house keepers are conceme , l, I shall certainly send it for trial. A law will soon come into operation which will act as some check upon them, by compelling them to take out licences. The fact of pawning was fully proved against the prisoner, who was committed for trial; Mr. Ballantine observing that there was one peculiarity connected with it, namely, that as the prosecuter, being a witness, could not join his ship, the advance note became valueless. The ship's husband applied to know whether he could not have the prosecuter committed to hard labour for thirty days for not joining the Cumberland, but the idea was scouted. The tailor who sold the clothes (not worth 21.) for 41. 6s. then presented himself, and asked to have evidence heard for the prisoner ; but Mr. Ballantine told him a jury must deter mine the merits of the case. The prisoner was then removed, with permission to put in bail, himself in RI. and two sureties of 4.01. each. O PENING OF THE NEW PUSEYITE CHURCH IN LEEDS. The Puseyites are next week to commence a new and forward movement in this town. It is known that through some munificent donations of persons at a distance, a church has been built in Leeds, of a very costly and splendid architecture, and bearing many of the features of the churches prior to the Reformation ; and that it is designed as a model of the churches approved by the highest Puseyitos, and as an exhibition of the modes of worship and of the doctrines approved by that sect of Oxford churchmen. The name given to this church by its un known founder was very significant of the al liance between Puseyite and Romish doctrine, being that of the church of the Holy Cross. But the Bishop of Ripon, notwithstanding his timid caution, positively objected to consecrate a church bearing that name ; and it has therefore been changed for the name of St. Saviour's church—which title to us un learned Dissenters, has always appeared very absurd, and as designed either to reduce the Saviour to the rank of the Saints, or more probably elevate the Saints to the dignity of the Saviour. St. Saviour's Church, however, is, according to the official announcement, to be consecrated by " the Lord Bishop of Ripon," " on the ensuing Feast of St. Simon and St. Jude ;" which be it known to those who are not learned in Saints' days, falls upon the 28th of October. And though the Lord Bishop is to preach in the morning a sermon whichwill doubtless be quite inoffensive, there is to come on in the evening of the day the Apostle of Anglo-Catholicism or Semi-Popery, the Rev. E. B. Pusey, D.D., of Oxford. All the world knows that this gentleman was suspended from preaching for two years, by the University of Oxford, for his sermon on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, which made the doctrine of the Church of England, according to his interpretation, hardly distinguishable from the Romish doctrine of Transubstantiation. All the world knows, too, that Dr. Pusey was the colleague of the Rev. Mr. Newman and the Rev. Mr. Ward, writers in the Tracts for the Times, both of whom, with several others of the school, have since openly left the Church of England and joined the Church of Rome. To Evan gelical Dissenters of every class the doctrines held by Dr. Pusey, and propagated by him with ardent zeal, ap pear to contain all the essential qualities of Popery, and to make a very near approach to an acknowledgment of the Roman Church as the true and infallible church. The real closeness of the connexion between Dr. Pusey's Anglo-Catholicism and absolute Roman Catholicism, is evident from thn fact, that so many of the ablest cham pions of the former system have found themselves com pelled by their own principles to go all the way to Rome. Several of the Evangelical clergymen in this town are so scandalized by the bringing of Dr. Pusey, and by the outrage which they conceive to be committed on the Protestant feelings of the country, that they have de clined to attend the Bishop at the consecration of a new church. Of course Dr. Hook is not one of this number. We perceive from the official announcement of the services at the consecration, that a series of services is to be kept up for seven days, on every oneEof which (ex cept Sunday, Nov. 2) they are as follows :—" At 7 A.M., Prayers ; at half-past 10 A.M., Holy Communion and Sermon ; at 3 P.M., Prayers ; and at half-past 7 P.M., Prayers and Sermon." If the above chruch had been one avowedly Roman Catholic ; we should not have noticed the fact, ex cept as a mere article of news, however much we might lament the spread of those doctrines. But believing, as we do, that Puseyism is Popery in disguise and treason to Protestantism, we feel not only solemn regret, but that indignation which disguise and treason naturally provoke. We regard this new Church in the light in which we believe all Evangelical persons in and out of the Establishment look upon it, namely, as an edifice from which substantial Popery is to be diffused by public and private efforts, in the struc ture itself, and from house to house, through the town and the country.—Leeds Aro cury.
