RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM CON TINUATION AND WELSH JUNCTION RALL- WAY. A highly-respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Aberystwlth was held on Monday afternoon, at the Town Hall, for the purpose of having laid before them the report of the Directors of the above projected railway, as to the present position of the Company, and the merits and advan tages of the line itself. The meeting was convened by the Mayor. The object of this project is to put the port of Aberystwith in railway communication with the manufac turing districts of Staffordshire, Lancashire, and Yorkshire; or, in the terms of the prospectus' " to connect Smith and North Wales, the improving and important pert and fashionable viaterin,,e-place of Aberystwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lancashire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the north-east of England." The Company originally intended to carry out the whole of the line from Crewe to Aberystwith, but an arrangement has been entered into between them and the Birmingham and Manchester Company, under which the latter will complete the portion of the works between Crewe and Whitchurch. From Whitchurch the line takes its course to Ellesmere and Oswestry, through a country presenting no engineering diffi culties. Between Oswestry and Welshpool it strikes the valley of she Severn, which it follows some miles beyond Llanidloes, where, by a tunnel of about a mile and half, apparently the only heavy work throughout the whole course of the line, it reaches the valley of the Rheidol, down which it proceeds, al most on a level, to the port of Aberystwith. We thus notice the line, because, in our journey to Aberystwith, we passed over the greater portion of it, and were struck with the re markable facilities which the valleys of the Severn and the Rheidol present for the oonstruction of a railroad into the most mountainous recesses of the principality. It appears that a meeting of the inhabitants of Aberystwith was - held in May last, at which they pledged themselves to sup port the projected line, and the meeting of Monday was con vened in order that the project might again come before them in a more matured shape. The gentlemen who attended the meeting as a deputation were Sir John E. de Beauvoir, Mr. David Waddington (Deputy Chairman of the Manchester and Birmingham Company), Mr. R. Watkins, one of the Direc tors of the Brighton and Chichester Company; Mr. W. B. Prichard, the engineer ; and Mr. J. Bethell, the Solicitor of the Company. Mr. Evans (the Mayor) was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, The Mavort said—Gentlemen would bear in mind that a meeting of the inhabitants was held in May last, at which the projected railway was unanimously approved as a project likely to confer great benefits upon the inhabitants of Aberystwith. —( Hear.) He would, in now bringing the subject before them, merely state that, firmly believing a railway from the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Stafford shire would be of the greatest possible advantage to the borough, he was sure every attention would be paid to the gen tlemen who had done the inhabitants the honour to attend for the purpose of laying before them the merits of the projected undertaking.—(Hear.) He would, without further taking up their time, introduce to them Mr. Waddington, the Deputy- Chairman of the Manchester and Birmingham ailway. Mr. WADDINGTON said—Gentlemen, when the promoters of the Manchester and Birmingham and Welsh Junction Railway received an official communication from yourself (the Mayor), announcing that at a meeting held in this borough on the 6th of May you pledged yourselves to support a railway to run from Crewe to Aberystwith, those gentlemen placed themselves in communication with the Directors of the Man chester and Birmingham Railway, whose line they proposed to join at Crewe. I, as:deputy-chairman of that Company, had the honour of receiving a deputation from the promoters of the intended railway ; and having conferred with them upon the proposed junction with our line at Crewe, I made inquiries as to the possibility of the project, and, as far as I pos sibly could, I endeavoured to ascertain whether it was likely to prove a remunerative line to its promoters, and was such a one as the Birmingham and Manchester Company could legitimately and, to themselves, advantageously assist. The result of that in vestigation—and it was a careful and searching investigation—was that the Birmingham and Manchester Com pany entered heartily into the scheme, and four of their board joined, as you will see by the prospectus, the directory of the new company, and I now appear before you in a double capa city—as deputy chairman of the Birmingham Company, and as a director of the Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junction Railway. I think it right to state this, as I confess we should not have supported the line, if we had not felt that it had the hearty support of the inhabitants of this dis trict, and that it was calculated to develop the resources, and as it were, create a traffic along its entire course. The im portance of the arrangement which has been effected be tween the new company and the Birmingham and Manches ter Company, is so evident, that were I speaking to gentle men conversant with railway matters, it would be altogether unnecessary for me to:say a word upon the subject ; but as the subject of railways can, I should presume, scarcely have been so much discussed, or can be so well understood by you as by those who are living in the midst of them, enjoying their con venienre and accommodation, and, of course, understanding their various operations, perhaps it may not be out of place if I detail to you the advantages accruing to a projected line from its junction with another railww possessing a good ter minus. You might carry out the railway from Crewe to Aberystwith, and develop, as I believe will be developed, a good and paying traffic, but having done so, the next step would be to avail yourself OR reasonable terms of the advantages of a railway having a good terminus in the heart of the districts with which it was your object to place yourselves in communication.—( Hear, hear.) Now, the arrangements entered into between the promoters of the projected line and the Birmingham and Manchester Company afford these advantages, and they afford them on the most rea sonable and liberal terms.—( Hear.) In truth, gentlemen, the Birmingham and Manchester Company are treating with the promoters of the new project upon the most liberal terms. — (Cheers.) They are supporting its formation, and will be happy, when it is farmed, to enter upon that equitable co operation which they have already determined upon carrying into effect.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have said that I made every possible inquiry into the merits of the proposed line before I consented to give it my support. The result of that inquiry, and the information I have since obtained, con vince me that not only will it, by its connexion with the Bir mingham and Manchester Railway, place the whole of those great manufacturing districts in communication with Wales, but that it will, when the lines now being applied for shill have been completed, place also Huddersfield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire, in communication with a large portion of the principality.—( Hear, hear.) In short it will place the whole of the district through which it passes in railway communication with Edinburgh to the north, and London and Portsmouth to the south. lam sure, gentlemen, you will consider these are important points to bear in mind considering the project now before you. And, gen tlemen, in reflecting upon these facts you must not view them as relating only to the commercial intercourse which the pro jected line will facilitate between Wales and the great manu facturing districts of the north : you are not to forget that Aberystwith, though greatly admired as a watering-place, and justly celebrated for the beauty of its surrounding scenery, is yet so out of the way, as well from the difficulty of getting across the country to it as from its distance, that compa ratively few persons come down amongst you. The place is very beautiful, that we all admit, and we of the manufacturing districts I speak of Lancashire, York snire, Birmingham, Staffordshire, and other places— would be very happy to get down here if we had time, and perhaps • some of us might say, if the expense of getting down here were not so great, I know of no place that the inhabitant of the district I have spoken of could prefer as a summer residence for his family; but if he were willing to incur the trouble and expense of sending four or five children and his domestics down, he would, I am sure, be quite un willing to separate himself from his family—for a separation it would certainly be with the present mode of conveyance —(Hear)—inasmuch as it would occupy the greater part of the week in travelling to and fro between Manchester or Birmingham and Aberystwith.—(Hear.) If a railway were carried between this town and Crewe, such is the favour able nature of the gradients, that the Manchester merchant or the Birmingham iron-master might leave his counting house at one o'clock on Saturday, and reach his family at Aberystwith at five o'clock the same afternoon.--( Hear, hear.) He might remain here the whole of Sunday, leave by an early train—say at six o'clock on the Monday morning, and reach his office in Manchester or Birmingham at ten o'clock.—( Hear.) We now go from Manchester to Crewe by the express train in 40 minutes, the distance is 31 miles, and as the distance between Manchester and Aberystwith will be about 130 miles, you will perceive that at the same rate of speed the journey between those places could be made in something less than four hours.—( Hear, hear.) It may be said, it has been /said, that " You have seaports nearer than Aberystwith." It is true we have a sea coast which commands and will continue to command, its thousands of visitants, but we have nothing of that which renders Aberystwith so delightful to all those who have the means and time to visit it, nor have we the delightful scenery through which the proposed line passes in its course.—( Wear.) We know that gentlemen from the manufacturing districts, when they visit a watering-place, are overtaken, like all other gentlemen, by irnnuz, and that a sea beach alone will not at all times serve to relieve the mind or offer sufficient attractions to induce a lengthened or renewed visit ' • but here you have, as I have already noticed, a delightful country, where new and striking objects meet the eye in every direction, a country which, if I may be permitted to judge from what I have my self felt, has only to be visited to be admired. And I may here mention that this line, joining as it does the Birmingham and Manchester Railway at Crewe, has an advantage which no other scheme for accommodating Aberystwith could possibly afford—l mean that of being in direct communication with the immense wealth of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Birmingham and Staffordshire. As to the Worcester and Cheltenham districts, you have at present some portion thereof, but the completion of the project will, as I have said, throw open the whole of Birmingham and its neigh bourhood to you, so that you will have a communication with that densely populated portion of the country, in addition to *hat I consider belongs essentially to you—viz., the direct, the only line of railway communication with the manufacturing dis tricts of the north, so that it will possess great and most superior merits over any other line that can be projected. I repeat that it combines the advantage of opening a railway route to the manufactures of the north, with the advantage of communica ting equally with the south. The port of Aberystwith is;too, I am informed, thirty miles nearer London than Fishguard ; this is an important point in reference to our trade with the south of Ireland, and is well worthy of our consideration. There can be no doubt (therefore that Aberystwith is the port from which th e manu f actures of the north of England could be most speedily and most e conom i ca ll y s hi ppe d f or W ex f or d, an d t h a t connexion with the projected line from the latter place to Bantry Bay, the proposed railway through Crewe and Aberyst 'with, would become an important channel of communication between L ancashire, Yorkshire Staffordshire, and the sur rounding districts Aberystwith with America. But it may be said that cannot a ccommodate such a traffic ; that there is not sufficient from the able repo rtorfvessels of heavy tonnage. Now, I find your harbour-master, that at a very moderate cost yo•po a r o t can be made to be second to none on the coast ; and that, s.harbour of refuge, it presents strong claims, might have su ffic i ent water, eight hours out of twelve, to admit steamers laeg o e f e nough t to carry the whole of the Irish traffic. In speaking appears th at railroad, the harbour master says It app. direct communication the co e m as m t u c n o i as ca t tio o n f by steam is open from ,AAberciosattwitah and A Wicklow, and direct Ireland—viz, by Wexford through to Valencia and theneewtO to be a more direct line from Lond on __ m eritchaa.n Pltristhainirlaeanr: The distance across the Holyhead, Fisbgnard, or Milford. bay and St. George's Channel, being about 80 miles, a trade with Ireland would be obtained "—ti e i s men, in reference to the railroad being car:Cking, gentle to Aberyst with—" And many families would embrace the opportunity of coming to Aberytsvrith from Ireland ; and, on the other hand, those resident in Herefordshire, Shropshire, and other places adjacent, would be able to visit that country. At present it is almost an impossibility to visit any of those places. The railroad would not only afford great accommodation to those who desired to travel through the country, but open the markets both of Ireland and Wales."—( Hear, hear.) The harbour-master goes on to say, " The harbour once com pleted, Aberystwith will become one of the most important sea-ports in Wales. Vessels with cargoes, instead of being wind-bound for weeks in the Channel, as they now frequently are, could then put in to Aberystwith, and discharge their car goes, which could be carried direct to Birmingham, 'Manches ter, or elsewhere by railway, and thus the cargo might be saved and the town benefited."--( Hear.) Your port, it ii said, has not sufficient water for large vessels, Gentlemen, lam here to-day to tender you the assistance of the Company to make Aberystwith what it ought to be. We have not entered into this project without calculating our resources, and looking to the natural advantages of your port. Ido not hesi tate to say that you shall have our cordial and hearty co-opera tion, and that support which is best known by the term of breeches-pocket support, for making Aberystwith a port for the accommodation of the traffic which the projected railway is calculated to bring into it.—( Hear, hear.) An important point to which I would refer is, that of the mineral resources of the district.—( Hera-, hear.) Throughout the whole course of the proposed railway the price of that necessary article in the working of mines—l mean coal.—is exceedingly high.—( Hear, hear.) The cost at which coal is carried per ton per mile by railway is generally calculated at a penny ; but, when carried over a considerable portion of a line, perhaps three farthings per ton per mile would be a remunerative charge, but taking it at Id. per ton per mile, we should then be able to supply this article to the towns of Welshpool,New town, Llanidloes, Aberyst with, and the other places through which we purpose passing, at a much lower rate than they now obtain it—for instance, we shall enable Welshpool to obtain coal at Bs. per ton ; New town, 9s. per ton ; Llanidloes, 10s. per ton ; and Aberystwith, at Ils. 6d. per ton.—( Loud cheers.) And gentlemen will bear in mind that the railway will afford a plentiful supply of coal at all times at a cheap rate—(Hear, hear)—and I say this because I understand this port has not always enjoyed the ad vantage of a regular supply of that necessary article of domestic economy.—( Hear.) I am informed there are mines in this district which cannot he worked, because the price of the coal by the time it reaches them is so high as to prevent the working of them at a profit.—(Hear, hear.) Now the line we have marked out will amply accommodate the mining industry of the districts through which it passes, and what we propose is this, that we in the north will not only send you cheap coal to enable you to work your mines at a profit, but we will enable you at the same time to carry your minerals to a good market.— (Hear.) So far as to the capabilities of the line, and new as to the position we at present occupy. The line, as I have stated, was commenced with the hearty concurrence of the Birmingham and Manchester Railway Company : the deposits have been paid with the greatest alacrity, and the elements of prosperity are so tangible that I have no hesitation in giving it my hearty support.—( Hear, hear.) Filling the position Ido in the railway world, and taking a prominent and most active part in the management of the Birmingham and Man chester Company, and having a pretty extensive knowledge of railway matters, I think may without presumption say that my position as well as my own interest must have induced me to look closely, and, perhaps I may be per mitted to say, clearly into the new project before I joined it. At least I assure you I endeavoured to do so. The board also proceeded with due care and consideration, for they refused to allot the shares till they had a report from their engineer as to the cost of the line. That report, I am happy to state, was most satisfactory, for I should observe that although they never for a moment doubted the line would develop a large traffic, they yet had some mis giving as to the cost of the line. This was not to be wondered at when the nature of the country between Crewe and Aberyst with is considered. Many have treated the project of a rail way between the two places as an imaginary scheme, and some have said we might as well propose a railway to the moon ; we therefore were the more anxious to obtain a full report f:om the engineer as to the cost of the works. That report has satisfied us that the line, so far from being a difficult and consequently an expensive one, will be one without any en gineering difficulties, and cost a comparatively small sum per mile. In saying this Ido not merely repeat what our engi neer has reported to us, I have gone over the line myself, and find there will be scarcely any embankments or cuttings, so favourable is the country through which it passes, and that there is but one tunnel, and that of about a mile and a half in length, throughout the whole course.— ( Hear, hear.) I may conclude by stating that the pro posed line will facilitate the carriage of agricultural produce from Wales to the manufacturing districts, and the re turn to the principality of manufactured goods; it will open a new and lovely sea-bathing place to Birmingham, the Potte ries, Manchester, Liverpool, and the manufacturing districts ; it will afford, by means of the port, the shortest route to the south of Ireland for the transmission of the staple commodities of the districts I have alluded to, and the return to those places of the agricultural produce of the sister kingdom ; it will also afford the shortest route to America, through Bantry or Va lentin, from the greatest part of England, arid perhaps from London, and will, by bringing down the coal from Rhuabon, greatly impro ;e the working of your mines. And now, before I sit down, let me remind you of this well-known fact, that every railway proceeding from a manufacturing district to a port has been a remunerating undertaking. Gentlemen, I have had great pleasure in submitting these details to you, and if I have not done so as clearly as you could wish, I can only say I have been most anxious to do so.—( Cheers.) Mr. DAVIS asked for information as to the course the line took out of Aberystwith. Mr. PRICHARD said that from Aberystwith it would pro ceed up the valley of the Rheidul, and passing through a tunnel at Banc Nant Rhuys, come out at Llangurig. An inquiry was made as to the population along the line, and as to engineering character. Mr. PRICHARD said the line, after leaving Whitchurch, to which place from Crewe the railway would be made by the Birmingham and Manchester Company, proceeded to Wrix hall Moss and Welshampton to Ellesmere, servirg a popula• tion of 12,000. From this town a branch would be carried to the Rhuabon coal-fields, which, with the neighbourhood, comprised a population of 3,000 ; the main line continuing on to Oswestry, where, with its neighbourhood, a popula tion of 12,000 was accommodated. Here the line followed the course of the Severn to Welshpool (which, with its neighbourhood, had a population of 8,000) and kept the valley to Newtown arid Llanidloes. In this district a popu lation of 12,000 would have the benefit of the railroad. The line continued to follow the course of the Severn as far as Llangurig, a distance of 80 miles from Crewe; and the whole of this portion of the line was remarkably easy, running in deed almost on the surface of the ground throughont. From Llangurig they had for a short distance some heavy works, the only one of which deserving notice was the tunnel under Banc Nant Rhuys. By this tunnel they were enabled to reach the valley of the Rheidol, down which they proceeded to Aberystwith. There was not a single engineering difficulty throughout the line, and responsible contractors were prepared to execute the whole of the line at 13,000/. per mile. Mr. Pritchard then went into a very comprehensive statement of the benefits which it is anticipated will be derived by the ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshiro, and Stafford shire, as well as by the principality itself, from the completion of the projected railroad, and expressed his desire to afford any information the meeting might require respecting the project. A question was put to Mr. Pritchard as to the branches which might be thrown out from the main line. Mr. PRICHARD said he had received instructions from the Directors to survey a branch from Llangarne by the valley of the Wye to Rhayader, and by the way of Builth to Brecon. This would bring them into communication with Newport, Monmouth, Cardiff, Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydvil, Neath, &c. He had also received instructions to survey an extension from Aberystwith to Llanafar, Tregaron, Lampeter, Newcastle, Emlyn, Newport, to Fishguard. Mr. WADDINOTON said those lines were of course not be fore the meeting. Mr. PRICHARD said, that with respect to the harbour of Aberystwith, he had received the instructions of the Directors to examine and report upon its capabilities, with a view to as. certain what improvement could be made. He had made in quiries into the matter, and he pledged his character to the statement—that the port could at an expense of 10,0001. 'be made fit for the reception of steamers at every state of the tide.—( Hear. ) Mr. WADDINGTON—I have pleasure in stating there will be no difficulty whatever in raising that sum.—( Cheers. ) Mr. PRICHARD, in answer to some further questions stated, that from Crewe to Llangurig, eighty miles, the line would run almost on the surface of the ground, and that there was not on that portion a single cutting or embankment of more than twenty feet. The earth at Banc Nant Rhuys was very good, and the tunnel there would not want lining. Mr. J. HUGHES said the more the subject was discussed, the more he was satisfied that the projected railroad would be beneficial to Aberystwith and the principality, he, therefore, had great pleasure in moving, " That this meeting, having heard the report of the Directors, are much pleased with the same, and will give the railway their cordial support." Mr. J. TEALE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then given to the deputation who had attended, and the customary compliment having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. DEVON AND CORNWALL RAILWAYS. A Correspondent from Tavistock writes :—" We have lately had a spirited deputation from the Bideford and Tavistock Railway Company, visiting the towns on their line, and carry ing all along with them. Since the deputation left the county a report has got abroad that the plans of the Company have become more extensive than they were, and that instead of the Company confining itself to a three-armed junction between Bideford on the north, Tavistock (e,nd so on to Plymouth) on the south, and Crediton (and so on to Exeter) on the east, it is said that the Company intend to run a line from Tavistock westward to Liskeard, where a junction would be effected with the South Cornwall line, which will run from Plymouth to Falmouth. It is also reported that the Bideford and Tavistock Company intend to carry a line from Tavistock southward to Devonport, and that a course has been found w hi c h w ill a llow the use of locometive engines, and thus supersede the atmospheric line which is now before Parliament, but which stands adjourned on account of the severity of its gradients, and of its being an atmospheric line, to the next session, in order to see whether a better line could not be found. Whether what I have stated expresses the real intentions of the Bideford and Tavistock Railway Company, I cannot say ; I mention the report as I hear it. One thing is clear, their engineers are now surveying the lines I have mentioned. If the Directors would listen to the advice of a party on the spot, they would not hesitate to carry out what re port says of them. By making a line from Tavistock to Liskeard they would cut the South Devon line out of the great through traffic from Falmouth to London, for on measuring distances, and allowing half an hour for the passage of Hamoaze, I find that an hour would be saved by travelling on the Bideford and Tavistock line (with the extension from Tavistock to Lis keard), from Exeter to Liskeard, as compared with the time required by travelling over the South Devon line. I also find on measuring that the route of the Bideford and Tavistock line, from, Exeter - to Devonport, would only exceed the dis tance between Exeter and Plymouth, by the South Devon line, by three miles, and if allowance is made for the delays and casual obstruction on the atmospheric principle adopted by the South Devon line, it maybe concluded that the public wiil soon prefer the locomotive course of the Bideford and avistock line between Exeter and Devonport. lam particularly anxious to learn, if possible what course the Bideford and Tavistock Company in tend to parsue, as, if they adopt the plan which report assigns to them, they will make Tavistock the centre of four lines, which would be the best thing that could be done for our borough, and what the Duke of Bedford, our patrol, would de sire and promote." It is understood that the above queries may be answered in the affirmative, and that while the Bideford and Tavistock Railway will form the most comprehensive scheme in that part of the kingdom, by affording the greatest accommodation to the counties of Devon and Cornwall, beyond Exeter, and thereby acquire additional importance, both as regards the interest of the country through which it passes, and the advantage of the shareholders. ILLNESS or Stu WILLIAM FOLLETT.—The answer to in quiries at the residence of Mr. Pennell, in Cumberland-ter race, Regent's Park, where the Hon. and Learned Gentleman 'is now staying, was, at one o'clock this day, that he was de cidedly worse, having passed a very bad and restless night.

The motion of the boat overbalanced him, and he fell in upon the piston, which was ascending at the time. The consequence was that it jammed him several times against the beam above before it could be stopped.

PABLIAMENTAILY AGENT—Joseph Parkes, 21, Great George-street, Westminster This Railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the flourishing, manufacturing district of Lancashire a direct communica, tion with Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the important ports and districts in the north-eastern part of the kingdom. The Railway is intended to commence at the Richmond Branch of the Great North of England Railway, and to proceed by way of Middleham, Kettlewell, and Gargrave, to a point on the extension of the Leeds and Bradford Railway, between Skipton and Colne, with such additions thereafter as may effect the most direct communisation with Manchester. This project will effect several objects of great public importance. It will supply the most direct and shortest railway communication between the manufacturing district of Lancashire and the ports of ewca.stie, Hartlepool, and the free port of the Tees ; effecting a very large saving in distance, and consequently in the time of transit. Again, this undertaking will afford the advantages of railway communication to an extensive district at present wholly destitute of both railways and canals, and supply coals from the Durham coal fields to the district on its route. Iron, stone, lead, blue lime-stone, and flags, are found in great abundance on the line of the intended Railway, which will largely develop the mineral resources of the district.

This railway is proposed to be in connexion with the Ulster Rail. way, with other railway companies whose Bills will be obtained during the present session of Parliament, and with the proposed Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rosstrever Railway. The line will traverse a most highly improved, wealthy, and populous district of the county of Down, the principal seat of the linen manufacture in Ireland, and passing through the town of Banbridge will join the Ulster Railway at or near the town of Moira, and thus form (in continuation of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway) the shortest and most direct commu nication between Dublin and Belfast ; and at the same time open the greatest manufacturing district in the north of Ireland to the ports of Belfast and Newry, and will also (in connexion with the proposed Belfast and County Down Railway to Bangor and Donagh adee) be the most direct route, and by the shortest sea, to Scotland and the north of England. The country has been carefully examined, and, as the railway can be constructed with favourable gradients at a moderato expense, and the trade, manufactures, and population must secure an abundant source of traffic, there cannot be any doubt of an ample return fer the capital Invested.

AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN. (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)_ . LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNENG, FOUR O'CLOCK. The steam-ship Great Western entered the river this morning at three o'clock, bringing ninety passengers, and New York papers to the 12th instant, being ten days later than by the last arrival. These papers are much occupied with the affairs of Mexico and Texas. The Commercial Advertiser, of the 11th instant, says, "We were furnished, just after the paper went to press yesterday, with the sub joined extract from a letter to an eminent mercantile firm in this city, dated " MEXICO, MAY 90. " This Government having been empowered by Congress to enter into a treaty with the Texan commissioners, all fear of a rup ture between this country and the United States, on that score, is at an end." " The writer obviously daaws his Inference from the belief that Texas will accede to the arrangement." This news is extremely probable, as we find the same facts stated in a letter from Vera Cruz, of a previous date, with se veral particulars. The writer says : " It appears that Captain Elliott, the British Minister at Texas, accompanied by an agent from that Government, charged with proposals for peace, arrived here on the 11th April, in the British man of war Eurydice, and departed disoetly in a very private manner for the city of Mexico. M. Caevas, the Minister of State, made a report to the Mexican Congress on Texan affairs, and, with the unanimous consent of the Cabinet, proposed a decree authorising him to receive proposi tions made by Texas to arrange and conclude a treaty of peace honourable to Mexico, to be submitted for the approval of Con ,.gress. Zhis decree passed the House on the ad of May by a vote of 41 to IS, and subsequently was approved by the Senate unani • taously. A Bill for a loan of 8,090,000 dolls. has also become a law. " Since then letters from the city of Mexico, which I am told may be retied upon, have been received here, stating that the nego tiation between Mexico and Texas has been completed so far as the executive of the two countries are concerned. The terms are said to be that Mexico acknowledges the independence of the latter, guaranteed by France and England, provided Texas releets annex ation with the United States or any other country." The domestic intelligence in the American papers is nob important. No decision appears to have been come to re specting the Oregon affair; and we find no later intelligence respecting the great fire at Quebec. The following are ex tracts : Plum HATTL—Capt. Robinson, of the schooner Samuel Roberts► thirteen days from Cape Haytien, reports nothing new. All was quiet. President Pierault arrtped at Cape Haytien four days be fore Captain Robinson sailed. Moamox TRULB.—The St. Louis Republieats of Monday, the 2d inst., speaking of the trials going on at Carthage, Illinois, says : —" We are informed that the jury in the ease of the Indictnaents for the murder of J. Smith, the Memnon prophet, after an absence of about thirty minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The in dictment. for the murder of Hiram Smith will be tried - at a special term, which will be held after the circuit is gone through with." The editor of the Saratoga Sentinel has been sued for a libel by Joseph 11. Wheeler, of that place. The following is the paragraph on which the action is brought :—" Quays ?—Did gentlemanly Joe Wheeler ever pee anything of a pair of boots sent from West Troy by the cars, marked for H. Wilbur, Saratoga Springs ?' We merely ask for information, as they never reached their destination." ()unsay, JUNII 3.—The bulk of the Spring feet has arrived. The number now amounts to 460, with a tonnage of 167,207.

The Committee of Relief had notified that each of the sufferers would receive two dollars, on application. " One assertion,' says a Quebec journal, "we may safely make, that the amount of property lost is not so far magnified, and the sacrifice of human life is underrated. The total lose has been computed with the utmost nicety possible, and found to be between one million and one million and a half of portnde I l--or, in dollars, from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 ! The loss of life cannot be estimated. The House of Lords met at Five. Lord GARDNER explained the reason of his non. attendance on the Glasgow-bridge Committee. The report of the Committee on Railway Bills was brought up. It recommended that those Bills which could not be completed this seesion should be marked by the Chairman of each Committee, and be proceeded with next session from the point where investigation ter minated this session. Lord WHARNCLIFFE brought in a Bill to amend the game-laws. The Committee on the Landlords and Tenants Com • pensation (Ireland) Bill was appointed. Lord PORTMAN moved the second reading of the Landlords and Tenants Bill. Lord BE, .0 moved that it be read a second time that day six months. After a short discussion their Lordships divided, when there appeared—For the amendment, Contents 11, Non contents 7—majority for the amendment, 4. Their Lordships then adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. After the transaction of the private business, The order of the day for the consideration of the re port of the Committee on printed papers was read, and he SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that a writ of error be brought against the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of " Howard v, Gossett." Mr. Husst proposed the following amendment--" That t is inexpedient to entrust the privileges of this House ,o any other tribunal than the House itself." On a division, there appeared—for the motion, 82; against it, 48—majority, 34. The debate on the original motion was then resumed. A long eliscussion followed, and eventually it was determined that the case should be tried in a Court of Error. The Levant mail brings intelligence from Constantinople to the 7th inst., Smyrna the 9th, Beyrout the 3d, and Athens the 10th. Preparations were in progress at Conztangnople for celebrating the marriage of the Sultana ADILE, eldest sister of the DrirEROR, with Au PACHA, Grand• A dmiral of the fleet. A number of tents had been pitched in the plain of Haydar, where the mar riage was to take plaee, and entertainments ware to be given:to the Foreign Ambassadors, the Ulemas, and the principal authorities. The accounts from Beyrout are more favourable. An armistice had been concluded on the Ist inst. between the Marmites (Christians) and Dram, and the contending parties were to remain in their respective positions until the decision of the Divan as to the terms ofreconciliation should be proclaimed. It is said that in the course of the late coatests a hundred villages and seventeen con vents had been reduced to ashes. About two-thirds of the villages were occupied by Christians. Letters thorn Damas cus state that a woman who had abjured Islamism, being threatened by the people, sought refuge in the house of the French Consul. Crowds collected around the house, which they were preparing to enter by force, when the autho rities interfered and restored tranquillity. Greece is still in a very disturbed state. Banditti traversed some of the provinces with impunity, and had committed great ravages. General GuivAs had attempted another outrage by challenging Ge neral CALERGI to fight a duel in a room, without seconds, which, of course, was refused. CoLErri and METAXA had formed a coalition, but it was not supposed that they could remain long on good terms. Accounts from Madrid, of the 19th, announce that MAR TINEZ DE LA Ross had left for Barcelona on that day, to joie the royal party. Rumours prevailed in the eapital that Carlist risings had taken place in several of the northern pro vinces, but they are not entitled to any credit. Tie Three per Cents. closed at 31% for cash, and 32 LA at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 for cash, and 21 13-16 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 7 at 60 days. The intelligenee brought by the Paris papers is not im portant. The Chamber of Deputies had, after some discus sion, agreed on the Bills to be postponed till next session; and among these are the Trans-Atlantic Steamers Bill, the Canal Bill, and that to prevent the adulteration of wine. They afterwards proceeded to discuss the estimates for the department of Public Instruction, when M. DR LA MEURTHE moved an additional sum of 100,000,000 f. for primary schools, but the amendment was rejected. The Chamber of Peers had passed by a great majority the Great Northern Railway Bill.
