For the last few weeks the principal topic of conver sation among the ladies and gentlemen of this town and neighbourhood has been the Costume Ball, announced to be given by the chief magistrate' of the borough, John Paley, jun., Esq. Great were the preparations made for the occasion, and great the skill, ingenuity, and taste, exercised to add to its attractions, and ,to invest it with every possible eclat. Those honoured with invitations to the file lost no time in searching the stores of his trionic and fictitious literature, both in prose and poetry, as well as the p ages o f modern and ancient, English and foreign history, for characters wherein to make their delm it. The popular heroes, in every department of lite rature, were evoked forthe occasion ; and the stage had its province invaded for new personifications and repre sentations, in order that aspirants, although uninitiated in the mysteri es o f t h e " acting drama, " might make their appearance for " one night only." Peaceful subjects became all at once warlike ; military and naval uniforms were inquired after and engaged, with out even communication with the Horse Guards or Admiralty; and swords were examined, as if the Otahelte question had been unsettled, and the Prince de Join vine had been about to pay us a visit of a less ceremo nious character than his illustrious father did to our So vereign, a short time ago. Oar fair friends, though somewhat more mysterious in their - preparations, were not a whit behind the ruder sex. The most fanciful regions of fiction, as well as the most lovely phases of real life, were examined for becoming attire, and the display of Thursday evening attested the judgment and good taste with which their researches had been directed. By order of the Board, JAMES WILLIAM GILBAIIT, General Manager. Lothbury, Jan. 21, 1845. The Transfer-books will be Closed, to prepare for the dividend, from the 17th of February to the loth of March. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

VOYAGE of the GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP from BRISTOL to BLACKWALL. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. LONDON, SUNDAY EVENlNG.—Thursday last being appointed for the sailin g of th e G rea t Britain from Bristol on her voyage to London, she 'got under way at seven o'clock; but upon the anchor being weighed, it was found that it had fouled with the wreck of the Nora Creina schooner, run down about six weeks since in Kingroad, a portion of the spars and rigging of which it brought up. Some delay in consequence ensued, and she went down at a reduced speed, and was abreast the Flat Holm at forty minutes past nine P.M., when the ship was put at an increased speed, the engines making fourteen revolutions per minute, the steam pressure being 411 b. to the square inch. At five minutes past ten she slackened speed to adjust the bearings, and the vessel was kept at a reduced speed, until about midnight, by which time she was off the Naas Lights. When she got under way at Kingroad, it was blowing fresh from the S.S.W., which at three o'clock A.M., on Friday, bad veered to the N.W., and increased to a gale with a heavy cross sea, with squalls of rain during the night. It is scarcely possible for a vessel to have had a more favourable opportunity of testing her powers and capabilities than the Great Britain had during the continuance of this gale, while on her passage from the Holnis to the Land's End, during the whole of which period the gale blew so strangly, and with such a heavy sea, tha lnot a single vessel, steam or sailing, was to be seen in the channel, all having run for shelter. At ten, A.M., the Great Britain was off Lundy Island, the gale continuing with the addition of the spring ebb, the wind being N.N.W., the ship steering W. by N., and making 51 knots against the sea, with 13 revolutions of her en gines. From her being very light, she rolled tremen dously, but still very easily ; and when about 15 miles below the island, at twenty minutes past twelve, she was struck by a tremendous sea upon the starboard bow, and at the same time being met on the larboard bow by an other sea, the shock was dreadful, and for a moment brought her to a stand-still. She instantly, however, " lifted " from the sea, and on examination it was found that three of her starboard bow's bull's-eyes had been stove in, with their frames ; the diagonal bands of the forecastle deck buckled, the wood-work started two inches upwards, a portion of her carved figure-head and the carpenter's work of the bulkhead carried away, and the iron sheathing of both starboard and larboard bows above decks ripped in two places. Notwithstand ing this shock, she, however, still held on her way, and at twenty minutes past one P.M. Pentire point bore S. 1 E., distant about four leagues. At forty-five minutes past one P.M. she still breasted the gale, and made eight knots and a half, with the engines making 131 revolu tions, and having three spencers and stay-sails set. At half-past five P.M. the weather began to moderate, when ,he had four spencers, jib, and square mainsail set, the engine making 15 revolutions, and the log giving nine knots and three quarters, the wind being N.N.W., and the ship steering W., and by S. IS. At ten minutes past six P.M. the Longahips Light hove in view, and at forty rive minutes past eight P.M. it was passed, and she rounded the Land's-end. In the opinion of highly scientific and able nautical persons on board no other steamer could have done more than just make head against the gale with such a sea as was running in the Channel. The Great Western once was in a similar , ale, and was off Lundy about the same hour of the day; she did not, however, lose sight of the island for the entire day, while the Great Britain, at her very worst, was doing four knots and three-quarters, and, as I have stated, succeeded in getting round the Land's-end, and, of course, into smooth water, at 45 minutes past 8 the same evening. At 40 minutes past 10 P.DI. she was off the Lizard Lights, her sails (having become useless) being furled ; the engines were then making 151 revo lutions, the vessels going through the water 101 knots; and at 45 minutes past 2 A.M. of Saturday she passed the Eddystone, bearing N.N.E. IE. At a quarter-past 5 A.m. she was off the Start Point, making 10 knots with 15 revolutions of the engines. She continued her voyage up the Channel at from 10 to 101 knots ; and at 45 mi nutes past 9 A.M., when off Portland, there being a light breeze from the westward, she set all her fore and aft sails, with her mainsails, and at 45 minutes past 12 P.M., entered the Needles Channel, and passed Lymin on at 20 minutes past 1, making 111 knots with 16 revolu tions. When off Cowes, at a quarter-past 2 P.M., she stopped for three minutes to land dispatches. She con tinued on her way gallantly, and at 10 minutes past 3 P.M. she passed her Majesty's ship Apollo at Spithead, fired a gun, and was loudly cheered by both officers and men, who crowded the ecks of the Apollo. She conti nued her course, making an average speed of 12 statute miles throughout the day; and having rounded the South Foreland, came to an anchor in the Downs, at 40 mi nutes past 1 A.M.

The Transfer-books are now closed, and will remain shut until after the Meeting. By order, B. MARWOOD KELLY, Chairman. C. R. MACKENZIE, Secretary. London Terminus, January 24, 1845. It was early evident, from the almost universal ac ceptance of the numerous invitations, and the anxiety each invited guest evinced to make preparations worthy of the event, that, as a scene, it would be amongst " the gayest of the gay," and would possess, in the annals of oar civic hospitality, the most prominent and distin guished pace. These anticipations have been more than realised. ,The all-evenful day, looked forward to with so many anxious thoughts, and so many flutterings of hope, with such fond desires to emulate and excel, has passed with even more eclat than its . hospitable promoter had expected, or the most sanguine of the joyous guests had ientured to hope. The time fixed for the cpening of the ball was nine o'clock • and, shortly before That hour, carriages began to set down company at the principal entrance to the Guildhall. A considerable crowd had gathered around the building, to catch a passing glimpse of the pic turesque attire of the several visitors; but the erection of a temporary porch, for the greater comfort and con venience of the guests, prevented anything but a mo mentary glance, and even this could only be caught by those close to the door. The crowd—as crowds gene rally are on festive occasions—was in the best humour; and their occasional critical observations upon the ladies and gentlemen, their dressses, and things in ge neral, elicited many a hearty laugh from the bystanders. The excellent regulations of the police prevented any in convenience or accident. As the company alighted, the ladies were shown into Mr. Ewan's shop, which had been set apart as the robing-room, in which, should oc casion require it, the last touch could be given to the ar rangements of the toilette, before entering the hall. A smaller apartment was fitted up for the gentlemen. Having ascended the grand staircase, each successive guest was ushered into the " Council Chamber," no longer resounding with the dry details of our Improve ment Commissioners' affairs, or the discussion of the "grave and reverend seigneurs," the aldermen and coun cillors of the borough. This was fitted up as the Recep tion-room ; and here, on two handsome state chairs, sat the much-respected host, our hospitable Mayor, and his amiable lady, the Mayoress, the former attired in his official robes, as chief magistrate of the borough, and Mrs. Paley in a splendid fancy dress of black velvet, in the style of Marie Antoinette, trimmed with ermine, with a corsage of white satin, trimmed with pearls and lace, and a blonde dress hat and feathers. The name of each visitor was announced on his arrival, and each then paid his or her respects to the Mayor and Mayoress. The Council Chamber is a handsome room, and re quired less of the decorator's art, for the present pur pose, than the Town Hall. Some tasteful additions had, however, been made to its ordinary features, and several large pier glasses were placed in the apartment. It was well lighted, and had a brilliant appearance. Over the entrance to the Ball-room was a neat silvered cast of the Prince of Wales's feathers. L ONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. Notice is hereby given, that the Directors have determined to POSTPONE for the present ALLOTTING the NEW SIXTH SHARES, authorised to be raised at the last Special General Meeting. By order, C. R. MACKENZIE, Secretary. London Terminus, 24th January, 1845. We are, however, now digressing ; we must resume our narrative. The picturesque groupings to which we have alluded, as the characters dropped in, were more marked, and more picturesque as the sets were formed for dancing, which commenced about Rine o'clock, to the excellent music of Horabiu's well-known band. Cava liers and courtiers of the troubled times of the Charleses, " When civil dudgeons first grew high, And men fell out they knew not why ; When foul words, jealousies, and fears Set folks together by the ears," forgot their differences, and danced on amiable terms together. Edward Warmsley and numerous well re presented highland chieftains, " all plaided and plumed in their tartan array," were as social as possible with the Hanoverian Georges. The Pretender was not pre sent, but numerous other pretenders to thrones and titles were. From the multitude of military uniforms of so many different nations, one might almost have ima gined the Allied Sovereigns were holding a congress in the vicinity.. A considerable number wore co:irt dresses and very well many of our to wnsmen l oo k e d i n t h e i r aristocratic habiliments. Brigands were walking about with the ntmost nonchalance, regardless of either military or police, and midshipmen who 6 , little thought upon The dangers of the seas." There were three Earls of Leicester, and Leicesters to the life ; for not an Amy Robsart did they bring to meet the gay court. Eastern worthies, also, there were : but to particularise, we should have to go through the history of almost every age and every clime.—Some. characters were well supported ; but among so many well-dressed ones, it would be invidious to select any for special commendation.

A few words, however, we must devote to a l ove li er and a loftier theme. Th e dresses of the fairer portion of the company were generally very beautiful, and although there was less attempt at disguise than among the gentle men, some of them sustained their assumed characters excellently. Many of the loveliest creations of Scott's prolific genius were personified, and some other popular heroines were represented. Preston has occasion to be proud of the display of beauty on Thursday evening. Swiss, Italian, Portuguese, or Scotch costume might be assumed, but the features of the Lancashire witches re mained undisguised, as they should ever be. The Refectory was thrown open a little before eleven o'clock, and presented a scene by no means inferior in taste, elegance, splendour, and liberality, to any of the other portions of the entertainment. The apartment itself is similar in appearance to the Reception-room, and was ornamented much in the same way with pier glasses, min Jrs, and heraldic devices ; one of the latter of which was exceedingly elegant and appropriate. It was placed at the upper end of the room, and presented the royal arms, with the motto, " Fear God, honour the Queen," with a small achie vemen t b e l ow , con t a i n i ng the arms f the borough, with the legend, "John Paley, Esq., Mayor, 1844-5." PRANCE. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING OF JAN. 24. The President took the chair at half-past one o'clock. The Order of the Day was the adjourned discussion on the Address. The President observed, that as the amendment brought forward by M. de Came on paragraph 1 had been disposed of the preceding day, the Chamber had now to proceed to decide that of M. G. de Beaumont, by which that gentleman proposed to replace paragraphs 1 and 2of the Address. In order to show more clearly to the Chamber what the Hon. Deputy intended by his amendment, he should read both it and the paragraphs. The latter ran thus : GREAT PARIS and LYONS RAILWAY.

Published by the Authors, and may be had at their residence, Sunday, at fifty. five minutes past seven the ship got under way, and her progress through the Downs was watched ,by the crews of at least 100 vessels. The wind having shifted during the night to W.N.W., it was upon her beam until she entered the Queen's Channel. At twenty-five minutes past eight A.M., she was off Rams gate, and at fifty-five minutes past eight rounded the North Foreland. At this time the wind was blowing a heavy gale right a-head ; she notwithstanding made 9 flog, with sixteen revolutions, and passed the Nore at thirty minutes past eleven A.m.. where she was met by a large American ship, the Prince Albert, proceeding with emigrants to New York, who loudly cheered her as she passed them. At thirty minutes past twelve she came up with the Waterwitch, Hull steamer, a very fast steamer, and past her in gallant style, having gained About five miles on her in an hour and a half. The Great Britain then proceeded up the river in the teeth if the severe gale, and threaded her way through the numerous craft that lay in the different reaches with the utmost facility. In Gravesend Reach she came into collision with a collier brig, which was at the time, as I was informed, dragging her anchor, and carried away her bowsprit, which, however, was only the least of a choice of evils, as she must have otherwise run down a sloop that was corning down the river, or plumped herself on shore. As she progressed up the river she was met by the Meteor and other river steam ers, and was chee-ed by the passengers on board of them, and the crews of all the vessels in the river, as well as by the many thousand spectators who lined the banks of the river at various places up to Woolwich and Blackwell. She reached Woolwich at half-past three and immediately slackened her speed, after which she proceeded at a moderate rate to her moorings at Blackwell. During the entire voyage the engines were 54,473 revolutions, with 163,419 revolutions of the Ar chimedean screw propeller ; and the greatest rate of speed at which she went at any one time was 13 2-3 knots from Beachy Head to Dungeness. One hour and eight minutes after the Great Britain had reached her moorings at Blackwell the Waterwich arrived, showing that the Great Britain had beaten her in speed by that time in a distance of 33 miles. During the heavy gale the engines were found to work uniformly, which m ould not have been the case with a paddle-fitted vessel, in consequence of the wheels being frequently plunged in the water up to their axes, at which time the engines are, as i. were, paralyzed, and the next moment, in consequence of the water leaving the wheels, the engines fly off at a speed much beyond their usual rate of working, which not only requires very great attention in the engineers, but frequently, in spite of every precaution, causes considerable derangement of the machinery. The uniformity with which the engines of screw propellers work is of more importance than it may seem to those who are not practically acquainted with the subject, for when the engine of a paddle vessel is reduced in its speed, the power, as a matter of course, is less in proportion, and this deficiency generally occurs in gales of wind when the greatest power is most required, it being well-known that a power, however great, applied at intervals, is less effica cious than when steadily and constantly applied, and this in some measure accounts for the Great Britain making so good a passage under such disadvantageous circum stances. An objection has been made to the screw pro peller, that from its peculiar position so far aft, it would, by the pitching of the ship, be subjected to a similar dis advantage to the paddle-wheel in being lifted out of the water. I therefore watched anxiously during the gale to see whether this would be so, and how far the state ment was borne out in practice ; and I found that at no time (even although you could see the fore foot of the vessel as she pitched) was the propeller out of the water, except about three or four feet of its upper part, which was only momentarily seen. This is full) confirmed by the engines never varying more than from a half to a whole stroke per minute. It has been fortunate that the Great Britain should have on her first trip of any length experienced such boisterous weather, as it has com pletely tested the powers of the screw when applied to vessels of such magnitude ; and Captain Hosken, whose experience of transatlantic navigation is very great, is of opinion that neither the Great Western, ner any of the Royal Mail boats, would have made so much head-way under the same circumstances by at least a knot, or a knot and half, per hour. FALLIBILIT Y Or THE FACULTY.—A private letter from Paris states that the celebrated physician Dr. Ji arjolin pronounced, on Thursday last, that the malady by which Mr. Lewis Goldsmith had been at tael.ed, and which had been treated as paralysis, was simply rheumatism Before entering into the Ball-room, we may state that the ball usually occupied for the administration of jus tice was made available for dancing ; the Council Chamber, as we have said, for the Reception room ; and the Guild Hall, as the Refectory. The appearance of the Ball-room was gorgeous in the extreme, its plain every-day appearance being com pletely lost in the splendour of the decorations which met the eye on every side. On the south end a spacious new orchestra had been erected across the room ; over head, was a large cast, in relieve, of the Preston arms, the escutcheon being supporte d b y b anners, cannons, swords, and other implements of warfare, as usual in ornamental emblazonments. In front was a large painting of the crest of the Prince of Wales, with the motto of the principality, " Ich Dien ;" and, on the right, the arms of Mr. Alderman Jacson ; Mr. Alderman Clayton, and Mr. Alderman Ger man ; on the left, those of Mr. Councillor Addi son, Mr. Alderman Taylor, and Mr. Alderman S. Horrocks—six of the last Mayors. On the east side of the room was gracefully arranged some extremely neat banner drapery, the centre object being the Queen's arms—the side ones the arms of Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, all upon ermine grounds. The light blue drapery connecting each heraldic achievement, was relieved by several graceful festoons of roses and ever greens. The effect was exceedingly rich and tasteful. At the south and in the centre, over the portrait of George the Second, was an emblazonment, in relief, of the Queen's arms, supported on the right by a handsome silk royal standard, and on the other a neat union jack. On the right hand were also the county arms, and on the left the armorial bearings of Mr. Paley. The magis trates' bench was fitted up for spectatot3, and the steps approaching it, covered with scarlet cloth. Instead of the usual stern administrators of justice, there were during the evening numerous ladies occupying the seats. No doubt numerous decisions were given from the bench that evening, from which, of course, no appeal lies ; as gallantry a•knowledges no higher court than the smiles , of grace and beauty. O n t h e west s id e , t h e " prisoners' dock" was fitted up as a tent, from which were served ices and other refreshments. The tablet of Guild Mayors, in the recess on the west side, was festooned with flowers ; as were also the large mirrors on each side—above them being ornamental devices of military arms. The decorations here were light and tasteful, and reflected great credit on the skill and taste of Mr. Moon and Mr. Carr, by whom they were principally executed. In the recess, on the west side, was a dais, capable of ac commodating a considerable number ; and on the op posite side were also raised seats, the whole length of the room. As the company began to pour in the scene became most animated and p cturesque, and each succeeding visitor added to the interest of the gay display. Many scrutinizing glances were cast to detect friends in their new garb ; and although masks were prohibited, the change in some was so great that the most intimate ac quaintances could not recognise each other. Many amusing incidents of this character occurred during the evening ; in some instances it was a considerable time before the incognito could be removed. Many meta morphoses were so stron g , that we fancy some would scarcely have known their own reflections in the mirrors. We have, however, heard of no inconvenience resulting from this particular feature of "Absence-of-mind-ism." Groups of characters of every nation and age were seen ; and as steam in our day has al most ann ihil ate d t h e bar riers of time and space,in our every-day-life communi cations with each other, and with surrounding nations, so here did it seem as if the dates and times, which we asso ciate with historical records, had been swept away, and every age and clime were pr esente d to the v i ew. Not only were these dist inctions discarded, but rank was forgotten, and, unlike parvenus in general, the lords and ladies, kings and queens, knights and chiefs, of the evening, esteemed it not beneath their n e w di gn ity t o make themselves agreeable with peasant s a n d l ow l y damsels. The " Old English Gentleman," with frosted locks, found favour in the eyes of th e y oungest b eauty; and the antiquated dame flirted with th e gayest an d, most juvenile cavalier; the inhabitants of different na tions met, as they ought always to do, on th e b es t t erms , without the need of ambassadors or other dipl oma ti c officials, or exchange of protocols or treat i es. " All sorts of people there were seen together ; All sorts of characters ; all sort s o f d resses. " Amidst all this exciting pageantry, there must, at times, with many, have been au occasional reflection as to the real object. character, and use of a fancy ball. There may have been, doubtless there were some , w h o with a calculating utilitarianism looked coldly upon the fete, but there are many more, and we must confess our selves among the number of those, who rather admire this revival of the old taste for pageantry among the wealthier classes. In olden times this fe e li ng b ego t a degree of charity and consideration for other classes, and particularly for the poor ; and we do not see why the same results may not be expected at the present day. We need not with Englishmen argue this question ; their own frequent enjoyments are admitted to have the effect of expanding the heart and making them more philanthropic. Besides the employment caused by them for many artizans and others, it lik ew i se prevents the growth of the unfeeling, calculating, money-grubbing, but tasteless and unsympatbising, uti litarian desire, of amassing mere money we a lth. Wi t h the moderate exercise of a different spirit, we should also encourage the revival of a taste for the beautiful decora tions in tapestry, paintings, statueo, and o th er art i c l es o f vertu,rich costume, and splendidly illuminated books, in which our ancestors delighted in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This would soon extend to other classes, and We should then see in our own day more of the architectural splendours that adoimed the ofirmanor halls, monastic piles, and yeoman's granges of England. The collation was of the choicest kind. Every deli cacy that could tempt the palate, and make the " appe tite grow by what it fed on," was supplied in abundance; and the taste with which it was set out by Mr. Lynn, entitled that gentleman to the highest praise. Every luxury had its appropriate ornament ; even the bread, moulded into the most delicate shapes, was covered with little confectionery banners, exhibiting the arms of Pres ton, the name of the Mayor, 'and other appropriate de vices ; while the numerous fruit-stands, bearing pine apples and other rich dessert dainties, were models of classic art in sculpture. The refreshments, like the company, were in fancy costume, and much of it was quite as much disguised. We could not but pause, amid the repast, to notice an item of the furniture—a rich and massive silver salver, containing an inscription, setting forth that it was Presented by the Mayor and Corpo ration of Preston to Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool, for the taste and skill he exhibited in superin tending the arrangement of the refreshments of the Guild in 1822." The room was brilliantly illuminated by a chandelier suspended in the centre ; and the nume rous candelabra which graced the tables. The wines were of the best quality, and supplied in profusion—perhaps, indeed, too profusely, if we may judge from the effects produced upon a few of the com pany, who seemed to have forgotten that its delicious flavour was insidious, and that little beyond the intoxi cating excitement of the occasion was required to over throw the just balance of the ball-room. It would scarcely be hyperbolical to say that hogsheads of port and sherry, kilderkins of hock, and pipes of champagne, must not only have been broached, but emptied, during the evening ; and yet the supply exceeded the demand. The luxurious old Romans, who occasionally made their fountains run with the purple juice of the grape, would not have despised the liberal flow of rare and racy wines at this hospitable revel. Dancing - continued with great spirit, and, regardless of supporting historical character, the modern Polka was danced by the courtiers of past centuries ; but in congruities are met with in every-day life, so we cannot wonder at the delight they afford in a fancy ball, held especially for their development. In the early part of the evening, the ball-room was much crowded ; but the opening of the supper-room, and the promenading in the reception-room, soon relieved the pressure, :and the dancing was more comfortable. Much less inconvenience, in this trifling respect, was experienced than was generally expected. Dancing was continued without intermission until after five o'clock in the morning ; and, on " God save the Queen" being played by the band, as an intimation to disperse, the loyal tune was received as if it had been played to a party of Highland Jacobites, so unwilling were the yet numerous party to depart, and so surprised that the hours had passed so rapidly. Dancing being con cluded, promenading was continued for upwards of half an hour, most being yet unwilling to leave a scene which, to all, had been one of the highest enjoyment and gratification. In concluding our notice of this splendid fek, we can only repeat the sentiments felt and expressed by all pre sent, of the hospitality, affability, and social kindness which characterised the demeanour of the worthy Mayor, his amiable lady, and the family, during the whole even ing. Their whole desire appeared to be the promotion of the general enjoyment of their guests, and in this they eminently succeeded. May they long continue to receive that respect and goodwill, which their endea vours for the amusement and advantage of their fellow. townsmen, on the present and former occasions, have so well merited. JEWISH EMANCIPATION.—A rumour has just reached us, that a private meeting of the liberal mem bers of the Court of Common Council, convened by Mr. Ashurst, has taken place, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning for Jewish emancipation.— Jewish Chronicle. " Sire,—When our session terminated a few months back, complications which might have become serious had excited your solicitude. On resuming our labours at present, in the midst of a profound calm, we are well pleased in congratulating ourselves with you on the bril liant success of our arms, and on the prompt re-establish ment of peace. "To defend our possessions in Africa against re peated aggressions, war with the Emperor of Morocco had become just and necessary. At your voice, Sire, our armies by sea and land rivalled each other in gallantry and ardour ; and, led on by chiefs familiar with victory, they once mire showed what France could do." In place of them, M. de Beaumont proposed the fol lowing : " Sire,--When our session terminated, a few mouths back, complications which might have become serious had excited your solicitu. On resuming our labours at present, in the midst of a profound calm, we should be well pleased to be able to congratulate ourselves un reservedly on the prompt re-establishment of peace, as we applaud, in common with the whole of France, the brilliant success of our arms. THE SHAPWICY MURDERS.—During the past week a report has been generally circulated in this town, and as generally believed, that the wretched woman Free man, at present confined in Wilton gaol, has exhibited symptoms of lunacy. Such, we are informed, is not the case; she has had perfect health from the commence ment of her confinement. —Somerset County Gazette. REJECTED LINES.—We hear that it is the intention of the gentlemen who compose the Provisional Com mittees of some of the projected lines against which the veto of the Whitehall tribunal has pronounced, to call meetings of their respective shareholders, with the view of resigning their tru s t ; th us l eav i ng the shareholders to decide on the propriety and prudence of risking their money in a Parliamentary contest with the Railway De partment of the Board of Trade.—Railway Record. MELODISTS.—The first meeting of the Melodist Club was held on Thursday, B. B. Cabbell, Esq., pre siding, who proposed the various toasts by very neat speeches, and, when he gave the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, patron of the club, announced that his Royal Highness wont' honour the meeting in February with his presence, to pre sent the prize to the successful candidate for the best convivial duet, the gift of his Royal Highness. The bealths of the Earl of Westmoreland and Lord Sal toun, Vice-Presidents, were drunk with musical ho nours ; and Sir Andrew Barnard, G.C.8., was elected by acclamation a member and a Vice-President. Solos on the oboe, pianoforte, and Welsh harp, were performed by Messrs. G. Cook, W. H. Holmes, and E Roberts. Numerous songs and glees were excellently sung by Messrs. T. Cooke, C. Taylor, Terrail, Foord, Horn, E. Taylor, Parry, Gear, Francis, King, Moxley, Hawkins, &c., and the evening passed off in the most harmonious manner. The adjudication of the Royal prize will take place on February 27. It is generally believed to be the intention of the King of the French to lay the first stone of the tomb of Napoleon, about to be erected in the Madeleine. Under all circumstances, this is an act worthy of the Sovereign of a great nation, and might be rendered one of royal magnanimity by evincing mercy to the living, whilst paying honour to the dead, and causing the same hour which lays the first stone of Napoleon's sepulchre to be the one which opens the prison doors of Ham to the captive Prince. It would be an honour, and an act demonstrative of strength and courage—an act worthy of a popular monarch—certain to be applauded by all Europe, and calculated to furnish a bright page in the future history of France.—Court Journal. _ _ _ " To defend our possessions in Africa against repeated aggressions, war with the Emperor of Morocco had be come just and necessary. At your voice, Sire, our armies by sea and land rivalled each other in gallantry and ardeur. Guided by chiefs familiar with victory, proud of seeing at their head, or in their ranks, three of your sons—worthy of their older brother—they once more showed what France could do." :L. G. De Beaumont—The general question had been decided yesterday, and on it no further combat could arise ; but each person ought to have the right of making his opinion known on particular facts. In the front rank of these stood the affair of Morocco, in which it was impossible to deny that, if the struggle was glorious, the issue was deplorable.—(Dissent from the Centres.) He must declare that it was not well done in the Ministry, in an interest . purely Ministerial, to change the position of a young prince of heroic courage, and covered with glory, and from an admiral to trans• form him into a diplomatist, in order to protect the treaty which they had alone concluded.—(A loud burst of disapprobation.) He should not discuss the acts of that young commander, nor of Marshal Bugeaud, for glory ought not to be brought forward as a subject of discussion ; but he should make some remarks on the treaty which the Ministry had given as the termination of the deeds of these gallant officers. The Hon. Deputy then proceeded to criticise the treaty, but advanced little that has not been already alluded to during the discus sion. He blamed the fourth clause, so often adverted to, in which it is declared that Abd el-Kader is to be treated with gen. , rosity. Referring to the indemnity, he bserved that to demand an indemnity from a bar barian Power was by no means a novel act, as, in 1830, Admiral Rosamel had forced the Regency of Tripoli to pay an indemnity of 800,000 francs, which, small as it was, constituted the best means of making the Mussul men feel the ascendancy of the victors. Why had not the Ministry seized on the occasion of the victories gained by France, to insist on a settlement of the dispute existing with llorocco relative to the frontier limits ? It would, perhaps, be necessary, in order to have that ques tion settled, to enter on a new war. Marshal Bugeaud (from his place)—lt was not to have the frontiers fixed that Morocco had demanded, but to have a part a the territory of Algeria ceded. The Moors wanted the French to withdraw behind the Tafra. lie had replied that France would guard the limits claimed by the Turks, and the Moors retorted by firing their muskets, to which our manner of reply was known to every one.—(Hear.) Since then they had accepted that limit, and no longer contested the matter. M. G. De Beaumont—That territory was too vaguely marked out for a barbarian nation, aad would always be a cause of disputes. Marshal Bugeaud—The territory was perfectly well defined when it was designated as that of the five tribes. Each tribe in that country had its own ground in common, its boundaries were perfectly fixed, and were defended by arms when violated by another tribe. M. G. De Beaumont must insist on his observation of the uncertainty of that mode of fixing a frontier. Ile Gallant Marshal had himself allowed as much in the letter which he wrote to the Moorish leader on the 17th of June last. The Honourable Deputy then proceeded to remark on the fault committed in not insisting on the seizure of Abd-el-Kader, which the gallant Marshal, he understood, had looked on as no difficult matter. Ought not also his suite, consisting of a considerable number of men, to have been ejected from Morocco by force, if fair means did not suffice ? He concluded by stating, that it was generally believed that this treaty, which was looked on with so much disap probation in France, had been drawn up in its present state in consequence of a letter that had arrived from London.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") In other words, the affair of Morocco had been concluded by the treaty in consequence of the dispute about Otaheite.—(No, no.) Marshal Bugeaud—ln my quality of agent of the Go vernment, and having had no participation in the diplo matic negotiations, I might with perfect propriety have refrained from replying to the explanations demanded by the Hon. Deputy who has just spoken ; but not wishing that a wrong interpretation should be put on my silence, I decide on addressing the Chamber, and shall do so with that frankness and sincerity which it has sometimes found excessive. I admit that when the treaty was signed I was not completely satisfied with it ; will it be astonishing that the general of an army to whom the conquest had cost so many sacrifices, so mueh blood and so much labour, should have looked at the matter in a point of view different from the Government? The general has but one point of view—the interest of Algeria. The Government has to provide for the general interest, and this will account for the difference of the appreciation of the treaty at the first consideration, and, I c nfess, it did not completely satisfy me ; but reflec tion, and what is now going on in Morocco, has made me change my opinion. I learn that there are at this moment insurrrectionary movem , nts in different parts of that country, and that convinces me that it would not have been easy for the Emperor to have seized on the person of A.bd-el-Kader ; and the Chamber will remark that this is the sole point to which I attach any import ance, for I never had an idea that it would have been advisable to have stipulated for an indemnity. My sole desire was to be rid of that eternal enemy—of that man of genius, who will never allow us any repose so long as he can find a soldier to march under his standard. To accomplish this object,it would have required more troops than I had at my command ; this is what I thought ; I also considered that it would have been necessary for the fleet to have remained six weeks, or perhaps two months, on the coast, and that would not have been unat tended with danger, from the bad weather, for, as it was, we lost a very large vessel. Besides, to assemble on the frontiers of Morocco an army sufficient to enter on such a campaign, I was obliged to draw one battalion from one point, and another from another, in order not to weaken the important points of Algeria. I assembled all these battalions very rapidly, and brought them to the frontier, and thus it was that we were in a condition to march. But allow me to tell you that this army of Africa, which appears to you too strong when talked of in connection with your budget—(Laughter)—is too weak fur the task which is imposed on it. The Hon M. Thiers said the other day that the coast of Africa extended to 200 leagues; that may be possible in a direct line, but in reality the coast has an extent of 250 leagues. Our army is too weak to cover such a great extent. If it be made suffi cient for the task it is by multiplying its duties—it is by multiplying, if I may so express myself, the courageous feelings of our soldiers, and if I had wished to extend our occupation, to push the thing further, it would have ben impossible for me to have done so for want of a sufficient number of troops—it would have been ne cessary for the Minister of War to have sent me 100,000 men.—(Sensation.) The army in Africa does not fulfil one part alone—it performs several. To the fatigues of war succeed the labours of peace ; when our soldiers return from a campaign they have only three days three days only to repose themselves, to repair their tattered clothing and effects; three days after their return they are compelled to undertake fresh labours , they construct bridges and form roads. This is the manner in which our soldiers employ (Hear.) It has been alleged that it thweier time in Africa , — were taken by sur prise in that war ; even had been so, it would not have been astonishing ; but, nevertheless, the troops_ had b -en placed en echelon , to be p re p ared for the first event, and we were able to make head against all that took place. The Hon. M . Thiers said in a former sitting that we could not have advanced as far as Fez. That is true ; and why ? It was t h e n the 14th of August, and the heat was overpowering ; the thermometer stood at 41 degrees in the shade, and at 60 in the sun.—(Great sensation.) This is what rendered it impossible to push on as far as Fez ; it was a heat under which the men could not support a long march. I make this remark to enlighten the sensibility of certain persons who are much r , ore careful of the general interests of humanity than of the blood and sweat of our soldiers. In Europe, there are many more means of making war than there are in Africa; the great centres of the populatit n may be taken possession of, and then it is not difficult to make them capitulate. But in Africa there are no such points, war must be carried on on all points of the country ; and it is for this reason that, with an army of 80,000 men, we never had more than 20,000 in line on any given point ; and with the 80,000, diminished besides by sick and non-effectives, it requires some management to assemble 20,000 on any given point. It must be also remarked, that our army in Africa has constructed 500 leagues of road, 13 bridges, and a number of civil and military THE WILLIAM TURNER.—CARNARVON, JAN. 21. — Yesterday another body was found on the north bank, supposed to be one of the unfortunate crew of the Wil liam Turner, quite naked, with the following marks on kis person--namely, mark on the left lip, wart over the left eye, on the left arm ship, anchor, and a tree in red and blue ink, long black hair and whiskers, short nose, about five feet six inches in height, and lusty.

There would, therefore, be rather' a necessity for increasing than diminishing it. Distant expeditions have been blamed ; it was said of them that their only object was to give occasion for bulletins, but I can set your mind at rest on that point, for be assured, gentle men, that the French army under my command shall never make war unless to obtain some advantage for the country.—(llear, hear.) We have acted like the English, who are so much admired ; we extended our expeditions to favour the introduction of French goods into: the in terior of Africa, and the constantly increasing amount of our commerce proves that our efforts have not been in vain. To succeed, we have not indeed shed so much blood as the armies of the Empire, but we have under gone more actual labour.—(Hear, hear.) As to Abd-el- Kader, I would not say he will not return, for I think myself that he will do so—(A laugh)—but he will not return in a condition to be dangerous ; we now govern the whole country ; there only remains out of our power but a small extent—called the country of the Kabyles—about 60 leagues in length and 30 in breadth ; and which is inhabited by excellent soldiers. Ido not say it is impossible to bring them to subjection, for no thing is row impossible to the army of Africa.—(Appro bation.) The conquest, however, will be difficult, for the whole country must be reduced, or none ; and to effect this would, perhaps, require a small increase to our army.—(Murmurs on the Left.) The contributions levied on the Arabs already amount to five millions ; I hope that this amount will be increased by the new submissions, but we require forces to maintain them. The progress of European civilization is rapid : in 1841 there were 31,000 souls, and the number is now 75,000. This happy increase is owing to the centres of colonisa tion having been carried more into the country ; for the colonists, when left to themselves, are accustomed to provide for their own wants and for their own defence ; whilst those who are nearer the great centres accustom themselves too much to be pro tected : the first are like children :well brought up, who provide for themselves ; and the others like those who constantly claim assistance from their rela tives.—(Laughter.) Much attention is paid to giving our colonists civil rights, but I venture to say that it is not those they stood most in need of ; what is most wanted is a strong military organism io capable of re sisting 4,000,000 of Arabs, who reckon amongst them 600,000 warriors, all good horsemen, and well skilled in the use of arms. This is the reason why I wish for the establishment of military colonies by the side of the civil ones; where the men certainly should not be subjected to the discipline of barracks, but where they should preserve their accustomed obedience to their chiefs as in a regiment, and might at the first signal take up arms to quell an insurrection, and to reinforce one of our columns. What can you claim from civil colonists? There are no corporations, there are only individuals; these military colonists, on the contrary, form corpora tions, and might undertake great works. During the months of July, August, and September, nothing can be done in consequence of the dryness of the land; the civil settlers are obliged to remain with their arms folded ; with military colonists the case would be different; their chiefs might say to them—" Come, my lads, we can irrigate 200 hec tares of land—to the work ;" no sooner said than it is done. Thus with military colonists not a moincrit is lost, whilst, on the contrary, with civil settlers, there is both inactivity and weakness. Military colonization, there fore, is what I recommend ; but for that, you must augment the army—not less than 100,000 men must be in Africa. You are well aware that this has long been my opinion ; in 1838, I said the very same thing in this tribune. I repeat it now-100,000 men are required, and I never had more than 80,000. If, too, you consent to have 100,000 men in Africa, you will get on far more rapidly than you have hitherto done, and you will suc ceed in founding important and productive establish ments—military colonization cost dear, but it gives a return. It may be feared that if 100,000 me: are sent to Africa France will he left too bare, but there is a simple means of remedying that inconvenience. The contingents amount to 80,000 men, and only half of them are called into service, the other re maining as the reserve. Well, then, let a certain number of the soldiers of the latter class be sent to Algeria as military colonists ; by following this plan, I repeat it, you will promptly succeed in obtaining satisfactory results, and it is my firm opinion that no other method will be of use. By following, too, this course, you will render a matter which at first appeared most difficult, safe, and excellent, and you will consolidate the future prospects of Algeria.—(Loud cheers.) The sitting remained suspended for a quarter of an hour. M. Saint-Marc Girardin slid not ascend the tribune to reply to the illustrious officer who had just addressed the Chamber—for Marshal Bugeaud could only find there warm admirers—but to express the opinion of the mi nority of the Committee on the amendment. He wished neither to increase nor dimish the differences which separated him from his old friends. That sentiment he had already maintained frankly in that tribune, and would do so still. He was the more disposed to speak so, because he looked on the Ministerial question as already settled.—(Cries of " No, no !" from the Left). Yes, said the Hon. Deputy, that question was disposed of. —(Fresh denial from the same quarter.) Well, then, it was in all probability disposed of—(Ah! that's different)—and when he stood there to express his sentiments, he hoped that he should not be exposed to be treated either as an intriguer or a candidate for place.—(Laughter, and a cry of " Nonsense, go on.") The utmost that he could be accused of was that he was a member of a coalition, and that would be an error from which he trusted he should find persons amongst the Ministry itself to exculpate him.—(Laughter.) But to refer to the amendment. What he blamed particularly was, that Marshal Be geauil had not been employed in the negotiations rela tive to the treaty. By whom, in fact, could France have been better represented than by the Governor-General of Africa—the victor of Illy ? Who could better have judged of the situation ? and it was evident, from the only dispatch of the illustrious Marshal that had been laid before the Chamber, that ho expected himself to be so employed. Compare the situation of the victorious General, stipulating beneath the shadow of his flag, to that of our Consul General at Tangiers; no one was more ready than himself to render justice to the intelli gence, the zeal, and the patriotism of that functionary at Tangiers ; but he had no precise and positive informa tion, and the dispatches of Marshal Bugeaud only reached him from Paris. In such a barbarous country there was no means of communication; what passed at Ouchda, was not known at Tangiers. Thus, while their Consul-Ge neral was still hoping for peace, war had broken out — war not attended with danger, for the G allant Marshal was there—but with all its fresh complications. By this parallel he wished to compare the situation of the nego tiator chosen with him, whom he could have wished to haves seen in that position; the former was ignorant of facts until long after they had occurred; the latter was ignorant of nothing that was passing, and knew the secret of Arab cunning. Was it not to be readily believed that when the same hand wielded the sword and guided the pen, that when it was the conqueror who presented himself to treat, surrounded by all the halo of victory, that the inte rests of the country would be better defended than when the task was confided to a negotiator, ill-informed and devoid of all personal consideration ? It has been said that there was also at Tangiers a negotiator armed by victory. God forbid—(lnterruption.) He (M. de St. Marc Girardin) considered he rendered a great and so lemn homage to the Prince de Joinville in speaking of him.—(Fresh and loud interruption.) What ! was it to be supposed he should have heard the reporter on the Address—and he should not reproach him with it—speak of the Prince de Joinville and of the cannon of Tangiers, without speaking of the cannon of Isly?—(Loud excla mations, and cries of " Order.") Rear-Admiral Hernoux—Who does the Hon. Deputy reproach with having overlooked the services of one of the two commanders ?—(Fresh exclamations from the Left, and cries of " Do not interrupt" from the extre mities, during which the President called the Chamber to order.) M. Saint-Marc Girardin—Ministerial responsibility covered all, and consequently permitted the discussion not assuredly of names and titles, but it permitted the Use in a speech of the name of a Prince who had bee* a negotiator, the name of a Prince for whom he hoped no one doubted his profound respect. He was therefore persuaded that he had made use of no expression which might reach to him—a Prince he honoured and ad mired—to that illustrious negotiator.—(A Voice—" lie was no negotiator.") True, he was no negotiator ; but it was under the cannon of his ships that the new]. tiations were concluded. However that might be, it was in consequence of entrusting the negotiation to improper persons that the idea occurred of stipulating that Al/. el-Kader should be treated with generosity and consi deration; it was to the false appreciation of the power of Abderrhaman, who was rather treated as a powerful chief than as one vanquished and lowered to such a point that he was prevented from even discussing the clauses: of a treaty.—(Hear, hear.) He therefore complained oe the negotiations and of the choice of the agents em ployed: he complained of t h ea bs t e h i e we id o e f a g o u f ar th at t :t 3s e l e i s n , i a s n te d r , in saying this, lie only repeated of the Interior, who admitted that all their guarantee was the possibility of a fresh campaign in the spring. He considered that the Chamber ought not to give an abso lute and unreserved approbation to the policy of the Cabinet. It had never been accustomed to do so. When , a formal vote of blame was proposed, it merely contented itself with not blaming, but took care not to vote what might be taken for undoubted approbation. That was the course proposed by the amendment, and the Cham ber, by acting so, would preserve all its independence. The Minister of Foreign Affairs (from his place) said that he did not rise to again take part in the dis cussion, because he could not add an thing to the reasons which the Chamber had already heard ; he came for ward merely to declare that the Government, having ex pressed, in the Speech from the Throne, its opinion on the affairs of Morocco—or the manner in which the war was carried on, and the peace - effected, and having said that France had proved her power by the former, and her mod. ration by the latter—finding moreover that this opinion was repeated in the Address, the Government, he said, rejected the amendment of M. de Beaumont, as being of a nature to completely change the meaning of the Address, which could not then respond to the Royal Speech. The Government, therefore, rejected the amendment now proposed, as it had done that of M. de Came the preceding day.—(l; ear.) M. de Beaumont having briefly replied amidst loud cries of " Divide, divide" from all parts of the Chamber, the President submitted the first part of the amendment to a show of hands. The first trial was declared to be doubtful ; and on the second the part of the amendment submitted for discussion was rejected. The first paragraph was then adopted, and M. do Beaumont havingwithdrawn the other part of his amend ment referring to the second, it also was agreed to. The Chamber adjourned at half-past five.
