Mesmerism is a 1 r - duclion of altogether a different class. Bordering on the superna tural, it is exceedingly curious in its construction, exeitee an intense and thrilling interest, and, with much of admirable moral, it throws much light upon the obscure, and as yet little understood subject of animal magnetism."—Naval and Military Gazette.

' V in min LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1845. The last advices from India tend to confirm, in their fullest extent, the most sanguine anticipations we have eter forined of the speedy diffusion, throughout that magnificent country, of railroads. The most anxious and profound attention of the enlightened Governor- General ea man whose career in developing the arts and realising the blessings of peace seems destined to eclipse even that of his military renown—is constantly devo! d to extending and multiplying the application of eteaus pewer to facilitate the communication between all the " countries, nations, names, and languages" which compose our continental empire in Asia. We need not dwell for a moment on the physical, geographical, and political accidents of surface, extent, and institu tions, which are so many reasons why India requires nothing so much as a well digested and substantially con struced scheme of railways in order to eliminate her resources in new and m u l t i p li ed channels, and to an ex t e nt not yet witnessed even in the palmiest periods of her eventful history. Such a scheme we need not doubt that the administrative genius of Sir re HAR DINGE will successfully superintend, and usher into exe- Without this marvellous application of modern science, on a grand scale, the almost innumerable diffi ctilties interposed by natural or artificial obstacles scat tered over an area of enormous territorial extent, and the still mere formidable impediments established by the force of habits consecrated by the lapse of from two to . three thousand years—by the power of prejudices to n hid; superstition has ascribed a character of sacred and unimpeachable permanency—those difficulties would have eperated, for ages to come, to the same bad results, w4ich they have produced for ages past. Differences ofeasie of usages, of popular feeling—the extreme remoteness f even the most wealthy and enlightened districts from cue another—the perils of the journey between them ag gravated by bad and imperfect high roads, and by the want of all unity of notion in the sources of internal go • teimment and protection ;—these have been among the main causes which have hitherto effected a more com p Lee isolation of one province of Hindostan from ,e ano ther than that which separates Hindostan from the A miemans. Of the one hundred millions of people who s journ over the vast countries comprised under the vague designation of India, at least one-fourth are ill supplied a fill salt, and occasionally great sufferers from the want fit. Yet there is no country under heaven which pro duces that great ncceisary of life with more facility, a• might Le made to raise it in larger quantity. Not to mention its salt likes, its salt desert even, (the " Rune," extending over a square of about r,40 miles in the Goe;erat), or the plains uf salt that occur north and west of the north shires of the Indus, the prodigious extent of the Malabar hlld Coromandel coasts is dotted with natural reservoirs s cr.) stalised by the intense heat of the sun, and with ar ifici a l " pans" and works, in which the menu -I', . I, t . urieg and p ur if y i ng p rocesses are carr i e d on b y % e indust r y and capital. Enormous quantities of 6.1• are sitnually made, again, in the huge alluvial tract c: : 11cel the. " Suriderbunds"—eand islands forming the x of the G anges, at the north -easternmost t •y of ;he Incli, n Peninsula. Now it is not enoughtoal extremity eit fir the scarcity of this i ... aluable condiment to at v that is . s occivioned by Government monopoly o •alt—by that duty which, together with the "Land'' at .1" 54.3 er"—the " Ay een " and " Akbar 4" re.enues— -IL.re, during so many yea rs , f ormed ro large an item in at. financial resources of the East India Company. In so ee of the tributary States, which are among the great stz - brers from the want of the commodity, this " salt duty" has never been collected. The plain fact is, that at Free t there is a deplorable want of high roads, eve n of a practicable kind, throughout the Peninsula. The sr.:mu and the scale on which the land-tax is collecte cutiun. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MoRNING, OCTOBER 7, 1845. in India leaves to the Government little or no pretext for demanding, of those who would chiefly benefit by the extension and improvement of these high ways, fur,her contributions on account of the expenses incident to the construction and mainte nance of such roads. Now salt is a very bulky commodity. Without the advantages of roads f its transport, of what value to the ryot who toils iu the most sequestered villages within the Madras presidency, or to the midland cultivators of Behar, of the Mysore, or the Do:b, are the salt treasures of the north-west and the north east, the eastern shores and the western, and the south-eastern provieci $ of liin dostan ? If railroads existed, how different would be the aspect of affairs in this instance ! That a hie!' is now loaded with " transit" and other charges would be delivered, at any or every village of the Peninsula, with only a fractional charge to the consumer for its carriage beyond the Government duty, which latter &ready is much diminished, as well as the transit dues (To unaccountably revived after their abolition by Lord ELLENHOROUGH), will no doubt soon be finally extin guished. What would thus occur to salt would, of course, equally take place with regard to treasure and stores. The conveyance of the furrier, oning to the great bulk of the currency of the country being in silver rupees (not to speak of the cowrie shells, one thousand of which represent but a solitary coin of this kind, but which are not so much the object of transport out of one district into another)—this conveyance is a most formidable item of charge to private individuals, especially if they be engaged in factory property connected with the cultivation of indigo, in inland trade, &c. But to the Government it is one of enormous magnitude. The almost general impractica bility of the roads is aggravated by the tedious character of the navigation of the great rivers, in boats which every night are brought to an anchorage in the stream, and delayed till daybreak text morning. Before the introduction of steamboats on the Ganges, an officer, ordered to Allahabad, consumed as much as three or four months in the inland passage from Calcutta with his baggage, &c. But we rejoice to find that the present Governor-General, deeply impressed with the wisdom and necessity of consolidating the permanency of British power in India on firmer and more expansive bases than those to be supplied by military conquests, is directing all the energies of his powerful mind—ia the very firm. place, after maturing his noble plans of native education and advancement—to the application of steam navigation on the Ganges and the Jumna, and even the Indus, and to the organisition of a grand and comprehensive plan of trunk railway lines throughout the length and breadth of his magnificent government. Thus, over those fair but benighted regions, which have slumbered for ages in the disgraceful moral lethargy—encouraged, for their own bad purposes, by the crafty ministers of a degrading and idolatrous superstition—through the wide em pire bequeathed by the first Mogul Sultauns to their degenerate successors,—and amidst the fertile but neg lected territories ravished from their original possessors by the fierce and faithless Mahratta, or the piratical and unscrupulous Rajpoot, European invention and capital are about to extend the peaceful but nobler and more enduring invasion, and triumphs of European science and arts, and institutions. Railroads will bring the timid and effeminate inhabitant of the plains of Bengal into a safe, and by degrees a cordial commurion with his fiercer compatriots of the mountainous regions of the north-west. The military tribes of the ITpper Provinces will gradually assimilate their more predatory and violent pursuits to the tranquil occupations of the ctiliivatere and the merchants of the Lower. Railroads have, al ready, so far triumphed over the prejuilicPs they had at first to encounter, that they are HOW universally ad mitted to be adapted for the most rapid, most certain, and most extended career of civilisation, in an empire, which, like India, has witnessed in an era which even tradition does but dimly reach, the highest point of re finement, of luxury, perhaps even of letters. From that lofty position she rapidly declined, under the iron rod of her Moslem masters; and eight or nine hundred years of unmitigated despotism bad almost blotted out her grander recollections from the page of history, when the association of her native soldiery, with those of Britain, once more opened for her a field of noble distinction, and acquired for her people new rights and establishments. Railroads, alone, were wanting to give combination and effect to her reviving energies, in order to make them available to the progress of her ameliorated civil and social institutions; and she has now the happiness to possess a Governor-General who is urging on that noble work with all the profound sagacity and administrative vigour of his bold, capacious, and unfettered intellect. We hear from various quarters great complaints against the late decision of the Court of Aldermen on the election of Lord Mayor for the city of London. We arc not surprised at the general feeling on the subject, for anything so derogatory to the character of the City, so:contrary to the established practice of the Corporation, and so unfair, selfish, and revengeful, has hardly ever disgraced a civic community. But we are surprised that the affair has been allowed to pass by with so little noise, and that the Livery and the different wards represented by the junior aldermen do not bestir themselves, and assert the honour and dignity of what was regarded once as the most powerful, influential, and independent cor peration of Christendom. The time was when a vote of that body carried with it an effect not much inferior to that of the House of Commons, when it was looked up to by all the civic bodies throughout the United Empire, and could not be treated with indifference either by the Sovereign or the Legislature. It gave its opinion on questions of peace and war, on any great domestic event, whether it was a Bill of Pains and Penalties instituted by a libertine Sovereign against his Queen, or a State prosecution against some obscure individual who risked his property and his life in the cause of freedom—and that opinion, not unfrequently, was echoed by a vast proportion of the community. Within the last few years, however, there has been a sad falling off in this respect. If we recollect right, the present LORD MAYOR tried to get up a meeting of the citizens to ex press their disapprobation of the Maynooth grant, and same resolutions-to that effect were passed,•bitt it made so little noise at the time, and was regarded with such complete indifference, that the impression has been almost effaced frcin the public mind. But this is only one obscure instance. On all the great topics of the day the voice of the city of London is rarely heard. The income-tax, the corn-laws, the new tardy, the re dress of Irish grievances, and :eventy other pablie men. sures, that %ould, under smiler eirtuna tances, have re cupied the attention of the City Parliament. have been allowed to pass unnoticed, while their tittle has been oc cepied with personal affairs, or corporation jobbing, tending little to raise the character of the City, ear benefit the population over whom they have almost supreme rule. Looking at their acts with the utmost impartiality, we must say that their very last—the election of Alder man JOHNSON to the Mayoralty—is the least excusable and the least creditable to the City. We will not enter into the merits or demerits of Alderman WOOD. The hasty, rash, and, perhaps, unfounded attack made upon him by Lord DENMA N raised the cry against him, and we are not surprised at it, considerince the just respect entertained b y the great Ludy o f the people jto wards the judges, and the imparti a l maahnatinetyr con clusion, which they perform their duti es . But Lord DENMAN'S opinions will not always betsr a s t r i ct scrutin. He is, perhaps, mor e than an y other judge e pr ont i h . f v;: b leg enc e h s y c o a f rr t ie h d e away clu sio n by , a t n h d e asin impetuosity th o a o ff f a h i z r s temper House of Commons a nd the rights of the subject, a h ow . a vacillation which lessens in a great measure the e ff ect jus tice. v a dogmatic will ma judgeopinion,tic 1 1l deliveredt ( h ie o r u m g a h nlvoo D rather in a h b a y l l h o i s own f compeers, by his colleagues in off i ce , men who have known him long, and who have besid es devoted no tale l time to ascertain the weight of the objections urged against him. He was returned by the Livery along with Alderman JOHNSON, and judging from the display in the Common Hall, had a very large majority. The Court of Aldermen, however, departed from the usual course by electing his junior, but only by a majority of two. An l how was that majority obtained ? By the vott s of the aspirants to office who would not forego for one year this rich prize, but like a brute herd, ran down and trampled on the stricken deer to make themselves more secure. Of the senior alder men, those who had served the office of Lord Mayor and knew its duties, 'seven voted for him and only five against him. Alderman LUCAS would also have voted fur him, but was prevented by infirmity. The same cannot be said of Alderman THOMPSON, but possibly he had some other reason for not recording his vote. Thf n of those who looked to the civic chair only, two had the self-denial to forego their own claims, and that for one year, while not fewer than seven, including his rival, who should in fairness have remained neuter, if he had not courage to be generous, recorded their votes against , him. We know not ho v Aldermen HOOPER and MOON would have voted, but they had at all events the discre tion and good sense to keep away, and, as far as regarded themselves, left the decision to parties who had no selfish interests to serve. The pub lic cannot rest satisfied with such a result. It is not only unfair to Alderman WooD, but an act of contempt towards those whom he re irrtoce!: ttviilitnht os r u gs :: r 4i F ew e n m eea e ei n tl t : t ia o ott:d menll there fore r P e r s e ps re presents, h : ett surprised i and ly t holds c o u s of character stand aloof from these civic centests wh g they find, that after undergoing all the eanvassin ' gaud!en drudgery attendant upon inferior offices, they may be deprived at last of the highest by some popular clamour, or unfounded accusation, and be rejected by the votes of men who have a personal interest, and who in every court properly regulated are not allowed to vote at all. But there is another circumstance which c-Juld not fail to operate in the secret conclave. Alderman JOHNSON is a wealthy man. Turtle, and venison, and champagne are indispensable requisites at City feasts, and without them the Egyptian Hall would lose its character. It is for the interest of the citizens, however, us well as the country at large, that the great Corpora tion of London should aim at a higher character, and that its decisions should not be liable to the charge of partiality and oppression. The Mad, id Gazttte of the 27th and 28th of Sep tember contains three official documents. The first is a treaty of peace between Spain and the Republic of Chili, formerly a valuable colony of the mother country. By this treaty a full amnesty is granted to all Spaniards and Chilions who may have taken part in the hostili ties between the two countries. The independence of the republic is fully recognised by the QUEEN of Spain. The second is a royal ordonnance for the organization of the Council of State, which is almost a copy of that established in France, and the last contains instructions for the formation of the new universities. According to these, the rectors and the directors of the faculty ormedicine are to resign their functions into the hands of the political chiefs of the provinces. This regu lation applies to the Universities of Salamanca, Val ladolid, Santiago, Seville, Valencia, Granada, Bar celona, Saragossa, and Madrid. The accounts from the provinces are said to be satisfactory, though several ad ditional arrests had taken place. Uolonel ORTEGA, a Member of Cortes, who had been arrested at Saragossa and carried to Madrid, had been :,et at liberty, without being able ►o obtain from the Government any reason whatever for the proceeding. On the 26th the execu tion of a bandit, called PEDRO Vixam, took place at Gerona. It appears he had for a long time been the terror of the province, and when hardly pressed has made his escape into France, but was delivered up by the authorities in virtue of existing treaties. After his convicti-n he confessed that during his short career, for he was only 34 years of age, he had murdered nine per sons and wounded many more. He had joined the Car lists at the age of 14. O❑ the Madrid Bourse on the 28th business was done in the Three per Cents. to the amount of 6,384,000 reals at 32:1 cash. DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. The Paris journals announce another isolated and ill contrived attempt to bring about a revolution in the States of the Church. It appears that, on the 24th of September, an insurrection broke out at Rimini, in which certain of the inhabitants, and some Spanish and Pied montese refugees were implicated. On the night of the 24th about one hundred of these refugees landed near Ri mini. The insurgents immediately proceeded to the fort of San Leo, situated at a short distance from the town, and in which they are supposed to have had partisans. They penetrated into the fort, and set at liberty the political prisoners, who were very numerous. They next entered Rimini, where they stopped the couriers, and carried off the dispatches. The Cardinal Legate of Forli im mediately sent troops to Rimini. On the 27th, at their approach, the insurgents, who without doubt had found no support in the people of the town and environs, hastily quitted Rimini, after abandoning their arms ; some of them re-embarked, the others took refuge in the mountains. It dees not appear that any other coovein ,, nt whatever took place throughout the Le getions ; but the fact has excited the attention of the authorities, and also the Government of Milan. On the report of the attempt reaching Marshal BA DETZKI, the commander of the Austrian forces, he re inforced the garrison of Ferrara, and the Papal Govern ment had ordered the garrison of Ancona to be strength ened and the coasts strictly watched. The volunteers had been called out, and every preparation made for act ing with vigour against the insurgents. We regard this as a most melancholy affair. These deluded people seem to act entirely without concert. They have heavy grievances to complain of, for the Government of the POPE is the very worst in Italy; and it would be difficult to describe it in stronger terms ; but these partial risings only give additional power to their oppressors, and bring down on the victims the most terrible punishment. A Papal Commission will forth with be constituted, and some twenty or thirty execu tions will be the melancholy result. RE-APPEARANCE OF ABD-EL-KADER. The accounts from Africa received at Paris on Sunday, as published by two of our Con temporaries, are of a disastrous character. ADD EL-KADER bad again appeared in the field near the frontiers of Morocco, had completely surprised the French troops, and taken terrible vengeance on all who opposed his progress. The Moniteur Alyerien, Sept. 30, an official journal says :—" A general insurrection had taken place among the native tribes in that quarter, and ABD -EL•KAEER, placing himself at their head had opened the campaign, by cutting to pieces a body of 450 French troops." It appears the scheme had been well planned, and the French were attacked by strong bodies of Arabs on two separate points at once. One of the French divisions was under the command of Lieut. Col. MONTAGNAC. He had been basely allured into an ambuscade by the Arabs, who pretended to claim his protection. He was soon attacked by ADD-EL. KADER with all his forces, and the column, surrounded on all sides and overpowered by numbers, was almost entirely de stroyed. The other division was under Colonel Boon- JOLLY, and was more successful. The following are the particulars of these disastrous encounters as published in the Mon teur Algerien "It would appear that the tribes residing on the western frontier have risen in arms against ue. Colonel Cay a i gnac , who had advanced into the trritory of the Traras with a column of 1,300 infantry, had two warm encounters with the 1 enemy. In one of these engagements M. I'eyragsi, chief of battalion of the Zouaves, was killed. On the 21st of Sep tember, Lieutenant-Colonel Montagnac, Superior-Commander of the fort of Djemmaa Ghazaouet, acceled to the entreaties -of the neighbouring tribes, who pretended to be menaced by parties of the cavalry of Abd-el-Kader, marched out at the head of 450 men of the Chasseurs of Orleans, and of the 2d Hussars towards the Marabout of Sidi Braliim, situate three leagues from Djemmaa, and one and a half to the west of the Nedroma-road. On the 22d he advanced to Dar-el-Foul about a league further. 4 , Th e report of a brisk fusillade having been heard in that direction from Djemmaa Ghazaouet, the captain of engineers, in command of the fort, sallied out with 150 men to recon noiteo, (led open a communication with the column. He however, obliged to retrace his steps before a numerous t ee l.. of armed men, and to provide for the security of his post. Co:Ootl Montagnac, basely betrayed, was allured into an am turee, le by the very Arabs who claimed his protec tion. At a distance of four leagues, within our fron tier he was surrounded and attacked by Abd-el- Kader, followed by all his forces, and assisted by the numerous contingents of the savage tribes of that part of Morocco. Our small column, overpowered by numbers, was almost entirely destroyed. On receipt of that intelligence General Lamoriciere, Governor-General ad in terim, embarked on the 27th in the Tartare steamer for Djemmaa Ghazaouet, bringing with him the 3d battalion of the 6th regiment of Light Infantry, Two other battalions and a battery of mountain guns followed the Lieutenant- General on the same day, in the steamers Euphrates and Etna. In conclusion, we will content our selves with observing that the Bth regiment of Chas seurs of Orleans, and the 2d Hussars have a sad but most glorious page to add to their military history." We subjoin official details from the same authority relative to the division midi r Colonel BOURJOLLY. In one of the charges it will be seen Colonel BERTHIER, Aide-de-Camp of Louis PHILIPPE, was killed:— GeneralArabsßourjollyfthe ad n he tk to errito t ry heir van oefoutnh-e Plates to pu n i s h t h e i ndividuals who had plundered a cara- Desert,o r ( i ' th t e e i r r e a t vbac try with the grain they had rch din the T pu a inse ell. He the entire little exp ec t e d to find tribe open revolt. On the 21st he w as v i gorously attacked, and after a very warm engagement he succeeded in reaching the camp of Ben- Atia. Hostile grou l's showed . themselves durin g th e whole day i n the eennns. The General had given a r en d ezvous at B tia, on the 22d, to the chief of battalion. Mansion, c orn Intloander of the f or t o f th e Kh am i s of the Beni Oura gs , on the where th at o ff icer was sta tioned with hi s b attal i on • Fearing that the enemy might attack fl o at small column with asu • on the 22d to meet it, with two battalionseror force, he marched l eav i ng two other battalion s for the defence and his cavalry, The junction took place without any difficulty,eence of the camp. and General Bourjolly returned in the evenin g to the car after several encounters with the revel s f Ben-Asia, narrow passages through the mountains. The the him of Mostaganem had taken a supply of co pro- visions and ammunition for an excursion of only few days, in a country where some disturbances had occurreda but which he did not expect to find entirely under arms, and ' t icistn by the presence o f a T roused to fanaticism o advance still farther with the sick and wounded would have been im prudent. General Bourjelly resolved consequently to retire on Bel-Acel, and there prepare to sesume the offensive: On the 23d he encamped at Teuiza, in the country of the B en i Dorgonias, having been constantly harnessed by the enemy in his retrogade trim meat. The rear- guard, consisting of 200 men of the 9 th Chasseurs of Orlea ns , was repeatedly engaged, and the squadrons of th e 4th Chasseurs were obliged to execute several charges to support them. Lieutenant-Colonel Berthier, formerly Aide-de-Camp of the King, was killed in heading a charge, and Commander Clere, of the 9th Chasseurs, was wounded in the knee by a musket ball. On tha 25th the column encamped at P.elizan, on the Mina, and the sick a n d wounded were removed to Bel Acel. Colonel St. Arnaud, Commander of the Subdivision of Orleansville, on receipt of a dispatch from General Bourjolly, immediately marched in that direction with his column. The Governor-General, moreover, before his departure for Djemmaa Ghiazaouet, sent off two battalions of the 6th Regiment of Light Infantry to Mostaganem, under the command of Colonel Renaud." The following is another account of the affair under Colonel MONTAGNAC, which leaves no doubt:that he had been allured into a snare laid for him :—" Colonel MONTAGWAC, who commanded at lljemcnaa Ghiazaouet, being informed by an Arab chief, who had never before given any reason to doubt his fidelity, that ABD-Zla• KADER, at the head of only a few men, had come to seek refuge in the environs, and was then in a spot,where he might be easily surprised, set out with a small column oF 450 mrn, composed of the Bth battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, and two squadrons of Hussars. On arriving at the marabout of Sidi Brahira (four leagues from Djemmaa Ghiazaouet, he was suddenly surrounded by an enormous mass of horsemen and Kabyles of the country, and of the fron tier of Morocco, whom he charged resolutely, with the intention of forcing a passage. The melee was terrible, for in a moment officers and soldiers were stretched life less on the earth, with the exception of eighty men of the Chasseurs, at the Lead of whom was Captain BEAUX, the only officer who had not been killed. Not withstanding the efforts of the enemy, these eighty men got possession of a neighbouring marabout, and shut themselves up in it. ABD-EL-KADER in vain attempted to force the place. He was constantly received by a fire of musketry through the loop-holes which our soldiers had made in the aal!s with their swords and bayonets, and the Emir was compelled to raise a siege which had cost him so many lives. For two days our men were there pressing against each other, without sleep, provisions, or water. Three times did A BDEL KADER call upon them to surrender, swearing that no harm should be done to them, "For," said he, "you are humane towards bilitssul man prisoners." Although reduced to the last ex tremity, our eighty brave men would not listen to any terms, and under these circumstances ABDEL KADER retired, leaving, however, a large force to blockade the marabout. Scarcely was the bulk of the besieging force out of sight of the besieged, than they attempted a sortie, and penetrating with bayonet the line of natives who surrounded them, they directed their course towards Djemmaa Ghiazaouet. At a league from that place a host of Kabyles fell upon them. The captain was one of the first who fell, and his soldiers, it, order that his body might not fall into the hands of tL enemy, fell by the side of him. In the meantime te, fusilade was heard at Djemmaa Ghiazaouet, where tl.e alarm had besides been given by a hussar, the only one who had escaped from the massacre of the two squadrons. When the garrison 'of this place reaches the scene of the combat, only twelve men were stand ing. They were all easily disengaged and taken back to Djemmaa Ghiazaouet--in all, fourteen living out of four hundred and fifty !" These unexpected outbreaks heel caused great uneasi ness, as they were believed to be connected with a general Plan for attacking the whole frontier. General LAMORI GIERE, w ho succeeded Marshal BUGEAUD, had left Al giers with a strong reinforcement on receiving the in telligence. We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the papers:— A Royll Ordonnance has been issued, raising to the peerage the following persons :—Lieutenant-lienerai Fabvier ; M. Jard Panvillier, Counsellor, Master of the- Court of Accounts ; M. Laurens klumblot, tormerl) Deputy, Member of a Council-Gent-rat ; M. Legag neur, First President of the Cour Royale of Toulouse ; M. Mesnard, Counsellor of the Court of Cassation, for merly Procureur-General ; M. Paulze, formerly Pre fect ; Baron Roederer, formerly Prefect and Member of a Council-General ; and M. Rousselin, First President of the Royal Court of Caen. The Puke DE MONTPENSIER reached Toulon on the- Ist inst. in the Gomer steamer. The Prince having per flu-med quarantine at Malta was immediately admiitet to pratique, and proceeded to the Prefecture, where apartments had biea fitted out for his reception. A grand banquet was given to the Minister of Finances at Havre, on Thursday, by the principal mer chants, manufacturers, and shipowners of that port. The table was laid fur seventy persons, amongst whom wert the Mayor, the Presidents of the Tribunal tine Chamber of Commerce, and the Foreign Con sills. The health of the KING was proposed by the Mayor, and was responded to by th, company with great enthusiasm. The President o the Chamber of Commerce having, in a highly compli mentary manner, proposed the health of the Minister, M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE replied, in a speech which pro duced a great sensation, and was highly applauded. Th, Minister, after thanking the company fur the kind wat in which he had been noticed, and complimenting the commercial interests of Havre on their spirit of enter prise, one of the effects of which, he said, was to creatt a nursery of seamen for the royal navy, added— " If, thanks to the peace which we have enjoyed for thirty years, the prejudices which divided nations are becoming weaker—if nations are beginning to discover that what is in jurious to one is prejudicial to all others, and that if one be comes rich the others participate in the progress—if, in short, it is permitted to us to hope that the well understood inte rest of each will contribute to the maintenance of that peace which is so favourable to you—it is to you, gentlemen, the instruments of international relations, that these happy re sults are due." " Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 23d ult. contain, some details of an affair which occurred subsequently to the last operations of Prince Woronzow. The Russians havin returned to a cantonment after the taking of Dargo, wer busy in completing their means of defence, and adding some new works to the forts of their line of occupation. Tue enemy took care not to attack them on this point, bee this was not the case with the division - of Genera Schwartz, which operated against the Lesghis. Thai division had to sustain a sanguinary conflict with determined mountaineers. After having severely clia tised the village of Taseli, which at all times lia , . distinguished itself by its invincible energy, the Genera. marched on the 11th of August towards Auzuch ant, Kapuchin. The former place, when summoned, replie, that it would only yield at the last extremity. Kapuchin, which had been reinforced by the surrounding population. was also placed on a formidable footing of defence. llardl\ had the Russian vanguard begun to display the first files its battalions when the mountaineers, under the shelter of the entrenchments which they had made upon all the ele vated pointS ' began to roll down enormous stones upon th, aggressor ; . This proceeding threw disorder into the rank,.. and wotinaed a great number of men. The Russians wer. beginning to give way, but at the voice of their officers they again rushed impetuously to combat. At length, after ex traordinary efforts, they succeeded in taking possession of tht entire chain of hills and fortified mounts, with the exception of one position, from which a dreadful fire of musketry was kept up. This point could not be carried until the followin g day. The Circassians did not abandon it until they were a; the last extremity, and then, as at Dargo, they retired it. good order, leaving about 100 dead behind them. The Russian troops displayed rare intrepidity in this affair, but the result is not of a nature to compensate the check o• Prince Woronzow at Dargo."

The market was dull and heavy. The Stock Exchange was closed on Saturday. The subject of the establishment of railways in the East Indies has obtained more attention from our capitalists in the City since the receipt of the last letters by the overland mail. It appears from the best information that can be Obtained, that the matter has been taken up most warmly in the several presidencies, and there was but one opinion en tertained as to the practicability of connecting most Of the important districts of the East Mutes by means of railways. We are informed that the Bom bay Government has approved of the plan for the construction of the Great Indian Peninsular Rail way, and of the Indian Railway Association of Bombay. The parties here who have taken up the former, have con certed measures for a junction with the latter, as well as to extend the influence of both in the East Indies. It is wor thy of remark that the names attached to the prospectus of the Great India Peninsular Railway are chiefly of parties who have traversed the whole of India in their several official capacities. The principal point in the first instance to be obtained appears to be a trial upon a fair scale, which is to be made under the auspices of the Government of India, persuant to dispatches sent out by the India Board and the Directors of the East India Company, some time back. There are not any arrivals of the least interest to-day. The state of the grain markets is a subject of much interest at present. We believe that upon the most • authentic information it may be stated that the whole yield of the United Kingdom will be an average. The present high range of prices is principally caused, we are assured, from the fact that the new Wheats at market are unfit for grinding without a very considerable admixture of the produce of the last and previous year. The price of beans and peas rule extremely high, as the export demand is very considerable. The Consul Market has been firm to-day, the ruling prices for the Account having been 95!.4 %, while, for immediate transfer, 98 1 / has just been paid. This is anything but an indication that capital is scarce. It is also remarkable that Exchequer-bills, after opening at 48s. premium, have risen like Cons ,ls, and are now worth 535. premium. Bank Stock has fallen from 212 to 211 1 / 2 . The Foreign Stocks are scarely attended to. In the Belgian 4 per Cents. there has been an improvement from 98 1 / 2 to 99./i. The Spanish Three-per-Cents. are worth 38, and the Mexicans have improved to 32% %. The Railway Sham o market has been very firm to-day. The demand is very steady, and no apprehensions appear to be entertained that prices for some time to come, at least, will undergo any material alteration for the worse, such is the confidence di played by the holders of nearly all descrip tions of investments in shares.

Oct. 4, 1845." As no previous intimation had been given to Mr. Tyler, he was taken quite by surprise, but returned his acknowledgments to the deputation, Messrs. Godfrey, Southby, and Foster, in a very feeling manner ; and after partaking of the hospitality of Manor House, those gen tlemen retired highly gratified with the result of their labours, which were in fact almost impromptu, the subject having only been broached two days previous to the presentation. The salver, which was much admired for its simplicity and elegance, weighed nearly 100 ounces, and was furnished by Mr. Cox Savory, Cornbill. WITLEY COURT, OCT. 2.—This morning his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by the Rev. Canon Wood, inspected the porcelain manufactory of iSlessrs. Chamberlain's, Worcester.

The Cecarewitch betting embraced a more copious field than we have hitherto had occasion to publish, and, in the aggregate, looking at the extent of business transacted, ex hibited an improvement. Numerically strong, however, as our list appears, many of the horses comprised in it had only a nominal status in the market, and not more than five were really in force—this favoured lot consisted of Boarding School Miss, The Baron, Intrepid, Kesheng, and Paint Brush.

Mr. Maddox commenced his winter season here last evening. He has taken advantage of the short recess to make several improvements—real improvements, inas much as they are conducive to the comfort of the audience. His programme for the season shows that the patronage which has hitherto been bestowed upon this theatre has only acted as a stimulus to him to cater more efficiently for the amusement of the public. Hitherto, opera, ballet, and farce, have been the staples at this theatre. These have not been neglected. Mademoiselle Nau is engaged as his prima donna, and a new opera by Edward Loder is promised to us. Compton, the prince of low comedians, and Wallack, the legitimate successor of Elliston, still belongs to the corps dramatique of the Princess's, as does Mrs. Stirling, the most versatile ac tress on the stage; and, in addition to these, Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris are engaged. The stars of the ballet, who shone with such lustre during the last season, will still continue to dazzle with their brilliancy the frequenters of the Princess's; and we are promised, among the earliest novelties, the last new ballet of the Aca demie, Le Diable a Quatre. But, in addition to all the e attractions, tragedy will be made a principal feature at this theatre during the ensuing season. Macready is engaged, and on Monday next will appear for the first time in London since his return from America. He will be supported by Mrs. Tenter:, the Fanny Jarman of former days, who, at Covert-garden, was wont, in days gone by, to win " golden opinions;" in fact, the Princess' s is the only theatre in London which can boast of a tra gedy, comedy, operatic, and ballet company. The cam paign, as we said before, commenced last night with two new pieces, one called Advice t.) Husbands, and the other A Man without a Head; both of which were eminently successful, and announced for repetition amid loud ph:us dits. The plot of the first piece, which introduced Mr. James Vining for the first time to the audience of this theatre, was this :—Alice Trevor (Mrs. Stirling), the daughter of General Leslie (Mr. Granby) marries, when she is only eighteen years of age, Fr a nk Trevor (Mr. James Vining). Shortly after the marriage took place, an unsuccessful suitor for the hand of Miss Leslie, out of revenge for her coldness towards him, persuades her husband that his wife is unfaithful to het mar riage vow, and that the cause of that unfaith fulness is an intimate friend of his, named De Vere. The result is, that Trevor, ever alive to suspicion, chal lenges his wife's supposed seducer. They meet, and Trevor, under the belief that he has shot De Vere, flies his com. try, his wife, and his friends, and enters a foreign rervce under the name of Rushleigh. General Leslie and his daughter remove from scenes once dear to them, seeking to relieve, by change of scene, the impression of the in jury they have received from one who was bound by every holy tie to be the guardian of the daughter and the supporter of the parent in his declining years. Time rolls on. Trevor is supposed to be dead both by his wife and her father, and the piece opens after the lapse of seven years since Trevor left his country and his wife. Trevor, in travelling, chances to visit the spot chosen by his injured wile and her father as their re treat, and ha one of his rambles he preserves her from robbery, and probably murder. The father not knowing the preserver of his child, but anxious to testify his gratitude to the individual who has saved an object more dear to him than life itself, invites him to his house. Upon the meeting of Trevor and his wife, the former at once recognises her, but his previous suspicions still existing, he is determined to disguise himself as long as he can, and for the purpose of trying the strength of her affection for himself, he plays the part, though most unsuccessfully, of another suitor for her widowed hand and heart. In this attempt he finds that her love has ever been true to him, and that he has been grosslydeceived by the man he considered his friend. He at once declares who he is, and the piece concludes amidst the mutual joy of all parties. The acting of Mrs. Stirling and Mr. James Vining, was true to the life ; and the blunt character of the old General was well sustained by Mr. Granby. The other new piece, A Man Without a Head, kept the house in roars of laughter at the strange and unaccountable for getfulness of Mr. Oblivious Top (Compton). The other entertainments of the evening were Shakspeare's comedy of Katharine and Petruchio,'The Brigand, and the diver tissement of The Court Ball. ~....' RAILWAY REVIEW. This is the first nuinbs , r of a new month] y devoted to the subject of railways. It reached us at !° late a period that we have only had time to blan lensedco contents. It seems to present an accurate account of the railway proceedings of the Past, riontb. periodical THE SPOR7Th'G MAGAZINE. . The present number, in addition to the usua t chronic of the sporting events of the month, contuitta papers on subjects of permanent interest to the el3:11. man. Of these, the most valuable is that o n the 11; eating of horses, by Harry Hieover. Every breeder se° trainer should study this paper attentively. The trations are, " The Canter before the Rave, ' engrave d h. , Eagleheart, from a design by:E. C. Turner; and F111;5 ing a Woodcock," engraved by Beckwitb, from a deB''' by Bateman. OLYMPIC. The palmy days of the Olympic are revived. This delightful little temple of the drama has always flourished under lady management, and under lady management it opened last evening for the winter season. The present lessee, Miss Kate Howard, has taken the theatre, and she pledges herself to re store it to the high position which it once held in general estimation—a pledge which, judging from the performances of last night, we doubt not she will re deem. The interior has been entirely redecorated; and, at the present moment the Olympic is one of the most elegant of the metropolitan theatres. • The dress-circle is entirely separated from the rest of the house, so that those who are located within its precincts cannot be intruded on by the pro• fanwn vulgus ; and a commodious tiring•room has been attached to the private boxes, the entrance to which is in Craven-street. The company is a strong one. We have James Browne for light comedy and melo drama—Brookes and Tumour for old men—George Wild, funnie3t of mortals—and Cockerill for eccentrics and low comedy—that sterling actor, Waldron, fur serious parts; and among the ladies we have that delightful actress, Miss L. Melville, as the leading lady for melodrama, and the fascinating manageress herself for soubrette parts and light comedy. The musical department is under the direction of A. Lee. The piece chosen for the open ing was a new local melodrama, entitled The Queen of Bohemia, founded on a romantic love affair in the reign of Charles the Second, between the Queen of Bo hemia and the Earl of Craven, whose mansion, in which the scene of the drama is laid, stood on the very spot now occupied by the Olympic Theatre. It is a stirring and interesting drama, and was admirably supported by Miss Kate Howard, Miss L. Melville, James Browne, George Wild, and Cockerill. The scenery was beautiful, and the costumes magnificent. Nothing could exceed the care with which the drama was put upon the stage. After the excellent old farce of Frigl,t3ned td Death, which was excellently acted, we had a new burlesque from the pen of Leman Reda, entitled The Boyhood of Bacchu'. When we say it was written by Leman Rede, and supported by Miss Kate Howard as Bacchus, and by Wild as Momus, it is needless to add that its success was complete. Previous to the performance of the Queen of Bohemia, an opening address, written by Leman Rede, was spoken by Miss Kate Howard and George Wild. The house was crammed to suffocation. FALMOUTH.—In the course of last week upwards of sixty vessels from various parts of the world called at this port for orders. The pilotage alone paid for these vessels at the low average of 5/. would amount to 3004 which for the most part is distributed amongst a valuable class of indus trious men, whose services are of a most important character. A short time ago we heard of forty vessels calling for orders in one day. A large Dutch steam-vessel of war is now here, preparing to proceed to Batavia, under the directions of the R Consul, R. R.
