The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam terry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snediansl, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South- Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, od Hastings rtailway to Brighton, An Inspection of the map will clearly show the great import ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to Landon, and thereby . avoiding the i nconven i ence ar i s i ng f rom the unconnected hues north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, fur the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. NVith the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, ttie project has been received with the meat distinguished aprobnAton and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along tee line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The Freund has been carefully surveyed, and tound to present tie difficulties to the formation of a good working line. . . The existing local traffic has been ascertained to 1) - e amply suf. Icient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the incroased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive 7gos of railway in that part of the country. The Committee res7ve power to themselves t• form branches 1-om Sitedland to Chartism and Maidstone. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out ne" , lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Dounington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be t ntlih i n n ui g :r h frobe a lmo i dr i r l i carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham wgw o i rtihlhbi immediate ec y phasen i te l line springing vicinity essttioin,asof :asa a io N i n ardi a : c t :tc :t obo i e n a u: l ri n , h ot : i a b i g m osii r lc ° t :t u r g :; p i r iar ß i n c ,ni oattiih:ldl::;Parliament. out obtained the by of ll ax t Hull, n - t ° l %le l 'bey rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, ~ and from Birmingham to Gainsb oroug h, Birmingham to Hull; and by mans of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway and the intended extension to Ashby - de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, 'l-: direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already entunerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted In favour of the line, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of commu nication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this ' great national undertaking will be materially sho mages to be derived by a direct rtened. Independently of the advantages cemmu nicatlon between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and W a rwickshire and Staffordshire, a large manufacturing districts of 1 traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Blr minghatn to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Usual power win be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening sf thellnes. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of tbe Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are excliarited for scrip certifi cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party =Mug default in the execution of those deeds Will befor feited.

George-street,London. railway is intended, by means of a junction with the Ellin ,burgh and Ilawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin burgh and Glaagovr. Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward by Coxiodge, and thence, by nearly a straight use, in the direction of Ponteland and Belsay, by Lialesburr. to Woodborn, on the Rea, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Cateleugh, and Whittles, to Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to Ilawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very. Materially shortened, whilst it will form the shortest and (except by the circuitons route of the east coast line), the only railway cearnuanication from Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle and lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication fltan Loudon to Scotland, by the Midland anti shortset Mitt. It "rill be obsermd, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of anbrding to the proposed line the additional facility of ship ment, by means of the tunnel Which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagetnents, by their Act, to make from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks in the districts through which the proposed line will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will be afforded for the transit °film° and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Lanark ; whilst the transport of live stock, from the same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for ,generations by the Scottish drovers, will be injimmediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length. The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot land, including the towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, lie!so, Melrose, Galashiels, Peebles, Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity. And the proposed line, proceeding as it does from the extensive coal fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through the hitherto unapproachable seams sf coal up the course of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant source of revenue from its transit; as a proof of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at heavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the cent of transit by the proposed line, through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow. An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de velopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds of minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of limestone and ironstone ; the latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at Hareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would he conveyed by the proposed line to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditions and economical place of shipment fbr all that portion of the ntanufac t fres of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before mentioned, intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Europe. Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the ghat, local, and general traffic on the several parts of the line, tilt forts a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn, always aided by the consideration, that the line laid down for this railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles. From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, ivhich-the Committee:are assured by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par liament for, at least, that pert of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking.

Secretary pro tern. - SBEFFIELD, BUXTON, LEEK, POT TERIES, AND CREWE RAILWAY. The Provisional Committee of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, having expressed a desire to consolidate with the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway Company, the Yrovisional Directors of the latter appointed a deputation to confer with a deputation from the former at Man chester, on Friday, the 24th inst., when, after the most mature deliberation, the Provisional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway Company, although anxious to avoid an unnecessary Parliamentary contest, were convinced it would be injurious to the interests of their subscribers, and without any public advantage, to identify themselves with a rival line from Sheffield to the Staffordshire Potteries, in opposition to those which have been so long before the public for supplyin g ra il way communication be. twee Sheffield and Buxton, viz., the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railways. They, therefore, feel that their only course, consistent with a due regard to the Interests above named, is to preserve the integrity of their project from Buxton to Stoke-upon-Trent and Congleton, uniting at those places with the North Staffordshire Railway, THOMAS CARP,, Chairman.

E, a DELIGHTFUL RESIDENCE and GROUNDS, in a LOVELY SPOT, in PERFECT ORDER, for IMMEDIATE OCCUPATION. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by PRIVATE TREATY, one of the most admired VILLAS in THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF BATH. The situation is quite beautiful ; from Entry Hill abode the views extend fir and wide, and have no dread of contemporaneous sur passing beauty in these en% irons. It is approached by the old turnpike road from Bath to Ermine, little more than one mile from the city, diverging a little from the road to Wells; it Is a commanding feature from the road, and overlooks the beauteous vale of lyncombe and the celebrated COLLEGE OF PRIOR PARK. The fruit and vegetable gardens are quite adequate to all the legitimate wants of a family, and the pleasure -grounds and shrub beries extensive, in perfect order, and very beautiful. There are three vineries, pine and melon pits; a rich orchard for fruit, and depasturing a cow. In short, for a family who like comfort, it will soon be perceptible that every want has been anticipated. To those who would economise, the Bath market supplies every possible want on easy terms. Those who would be private may indulge in this pro. pensity without being at all intruded upon, while those disposed to gaiety, the variety of attractions at Bath, and the society around it, put forth all that the most fastidious can desire. The Estate may be sold a bargain, or it will be let on lease, at only I6Oguineas a-year. The demesne extends to about six acres, and a drawing of this lovely place may be seen at Mr. Geurge Robins's offices, Covent-garden. DOVER HARBOUR ENLARGEMENT.—The extensive improvements at this harbour arc progressing most satisfactorily; and we anticipate that early next season the most ample accommo dation will be afforded for the increasing traffic of the port, and the larger class of steamers, as well as other vessels, that may then pay us a visit. Our illustrious Lord Warden,.the Duke of Wellington, who is cx officio head of the llArhotir Board, takes the most lively Interest in the progress of the works. As a proof of this his Grace is very frequently seen on the quays minutely inspecting the works; and he has more than once expressed his approbation of the activity and skill displayed by the contractor in prosecuting this formidable undertakitg, which will add several acres of space to the existing harbour.—Doper Chronicle. THE ELLENBOROUGH TESTIMONIAL.—The total subscriptions at Calcutta already exceed 50,0001., of which only 10,4211. remains uncollected. It is intended to apply the total sum realized to the purchase of a service of plate, and it has been already submitted to the noble ex-Governor of India that such a course has been decided upon.

Hen , Colburn, Publisher. 13, Great Marlborough-street. 1844, is still to be pofmitted to run out its whole calamitous career, not only will the panic of 1825 be renewed, but a consummation far more awful and ovowliehning will inevitably distinguish the 20th anniversary of the first of those years of ruin and spoliation. In order to keep the tendencies of railway investment in their present beneficial coui se, and to avert the terrible catastrophe, to which we cannot allude without dismay, what will the Minister do ? We venture to predict with confidence, that the dreaded result on the one hand is only to be averted, on the other to be partially repaired (for if it happen it cannot be radically compensated), by an organic departure from the principles of our present monetary system. It will not be the last, nor even the most surprising of the transmutations to which Sir IL PEEL'S elementary views of economic policy and government are subject, when he makes up his mind to the indispensable necessity of repealing all the Acts we have mentioned, and resorting to a less restricted and less anomalous issue and recognition of bank paper, The British nation, almost to a man, admit the great blessings conferred on this country by the general peace es tablished in 1815, and would view with regret any interrup • Lions of peaceable relations with any great power, and, above all, with France. They fiad better employment for their money in domestic improvements—such as the construction of railways and steam-vessels, or in the increase of our colo nies, and the opening up new markets fur our manufactures— than in lending money to foreign Governments that seldom or never pay, or in furnishing subsidies to carry on wars for maintaining a certain race of Kings, or in paying enor mous taxes to keep up a large fleet and army chiefly to give situations to the scions of nobility, or benefit the supporters of a Tory Ministry. The art of war is at a discount here, and with a reformed House of Com mons and the vast amount uf capital employed in peaceful occupations, nothing but a grievous national insult, or a wan ton aggression on some of the vital interests of the ration abroad. could rigain louse the warlike energies of the people. The only fighting people, in fact, in these "piping tunes of peace" are the editors of certain journals in England and France. So caent occurs in reference to the relations of the two ccuntriee which does not afford scope for their pugnacious propensities; and when facts can not be found, imagination is set at work to de vise some grievance, or slight, or. insult which the one party may attribute to the other. For a long time the writers in the Republican and Legitimatist journals of France had the monopoly of this business. These of England, with a spirit which did them great honour, generally stood aloo; and regarded with silence, not unmixed with strong feelings of abhorrence, these wicked attempts to embroil two great countries. Since the Syrian expedieier. however, when that firebrand M. Tnizus wished to imitate Nn: or to see a great change on this side the water. A,n we regret incurable jealousy of French diplomatists, and admirals, and ge.2er 4 l'S pervades certain journals to a degree which, were its effee.:2 not mischievous, would be utterly ridiculous. According to them our influence in Greece is undermined; French plots are at work in Constantinople and Alexandria ; Morocco is to become a French province ; Tangiers is to be a set-off against Gibraltar ; and the last invention of all is not the least remarkable—Chusan, when evacuated by - the English, is to be handed over to France, and a war between England and France, as a matter of course, is to be forthwith commenced on the Chinese seas. The specific remedy proposed is for the British Government to keep Chusan—a proposition which, were it adopted by the Bri tish Government, or in any way countenanced by them, would entail lasting disgrace on the country, and really justify cer tain French writers in the notorious epithets they have ap plied to England. The whole story is founded on a mete rumour which prevails at Macao or Hong Kong, and on such a slender basis - is built a vast scheme of French aggrandisetnent in the East, together with every possible abuse of French diplomatists and Frenchmen in general. This is below the dignity of the British nation. They have nothing to fear in that quarter, either from Frenchmen or Attlericatia. Their rulers have hitherto followed the example of the Chinese Government, and honourably observed its engagements, and to break any of them on a mere pretence would only be an exact picture of that policy which these warlike ,journals attribute to our neighbours. Possibly articles of this description are written rather from vanity than malignity, for tt rage has sprung up among certain jouraalists to have their lucubrations quoted and commented upon in the Paris papers, and to a certainty they will obtain their wish as far as regards their mischievous articles on the late intelligence from China. The proposed plan for retaining Chosen will be justly described, and we shall be told that it is only et:tether instance of that crooked, selfish, and wicked policy so long pursued by " perfide Albion," We only hope and trust that the sentiments ex pressed in one or two journale will not be re - still o uGttpeople garded as the sentiments of the Government, and the nation. of E We bei anxious to remain on good terms with France, that ".a tional antipathies are rapidly wearing off, and that writers who fan the dying embers of discord are alike the enemies of both countries, and ought to be held up to public scorn and reprobation. n i g a lea-en,a .are most . with Lord uR A lessiim, hos t e ha of We have received Madrid journals of the 18th and 19th inst., from which we learn that complete tranquillity reigns throughout the country, and that the only topics of discus sion refer to the QUEEN'S marriage, and the business of the ensuing Cortes. In these, however, we find - little novelty. Most of these journals are opposed to the marriage of the QUEEN with the Count of TRAI'ANI, and seem still less dis posed to favour the claims of the Prince of ASTVRIAS. A meeting of Deputies is said to have taken place relative to the new system of taxation, and a proposition for its modifi cation by the Cortes. According to one of the journals it is proposed to demand a reduction of at least ono-third of the amount, in favour of persons engaged in trade and commerce—in other words, to make it a property tax. The Gazette pUblishes a list of twenty-five new Senators, selected chiefly from the army, the Church, and persons who had held high official appointments. Oh the Bourse no official prices were quoted, and this will probably be the case till some new arrangement is made. The Cas tellano sufficiently explains the cause of Senor MoN's hostility to the practice which had so long existed in that gambling establishment : " The new law relative to It having suppressed the boundless gambling which formerly took place Without any guarantee, it naturally results that the transactions in the cubit funds are now carried on for cash only ; naturally, also, the present opera tions are solely positive ones ; without any time bargains, there is no more play, and therefore no more notable fluctuations either for a fall or rise. Nevertheless, the bourse law is anything but perfect, and it is to be believed that it will be promptly reformed." The Paris papers contain more favourable accounts from Algiers. In a dispatch dated Djema Ghazaouat, the 10th October, General LAMORICIERE announces his junction with General CAVAIGNAC on the 9th, and his preparations for at tacking the forces of ABD-EL-KADER without delay. A telegraphic dispatch, received by the French Government on Saturday, gives some particulars of the attack, but they are very imperfect as the dispatch was interrupted by the ap proach of night. It was conveyed from Perpignan and is a s follows : PERPIGNAN, OCT, 21—The Labrador having disembarked troops, left Oran on the 21st, and arrived at Port Vendtts this evening. On the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th, General de Lamcri ciere fought severe combats. Abd.cl.Kader remained spectator of them with 2,000 horsemen ; on the 13th, seeing a :defile forced, be took to flight. The insurgents, driven to the sea, surrendered at discretion. Colonel Gery, in the environs of Mascara, had some successes against the Kabylcs. General de Bourjoily and Colonel Arnaud had made a junction, and awaited reinforcements to act." Some of the journals have abstained from remarks on the intelligence till the rest of the dispatch arrives, and otters briefly allude to it. " This news," says the National, "is calculated to cause a very lively satisfaction. Our generals, taken unexpectedly, having only some thousand men to withstand a cloud of insurgents, obliged an instant to re main on the defensive, have succeeded in every where re storing order, and after four days' fighting have forced back on the Morocco territory such Of our enentiet as they coillti not destroy. It is another noble page in our history, and a lesson which undoubtedly will profit the Arabs, for never did a governor give them such a chance as M. BUGEAtin : and if they could not this time shake our rule in Algeria, they must comprehend that whatever may be the enthu siasm inspired by the Rhamadan, such an undertaking is for ever impossible." The Constitationnel takes nearly the same view :—" If this combat be as decisive as it appears, the revolted tribes will by degrees lose courage, and the different corps of our troops, whom their isolated position forced to defend themselves, will resume the offensive, and complete the pacification of the country. But, as Marshal BUGEAUD observes, it will require time and efforts to re-establish the security of our frontier; and the expedition to Morocco cannot be attempted for several months." fhe only work of Marshal BUGEAUD since his arrival at Algiers, appears in the shape cf a proclamation to the French authorities and in-- ' habitants of the place, in which he says—" The events which have occurred since the end of September may have astonished you, but they have certainly not alarmed you as to your future prospects. As I told you, when I made my recent adieu, France regards her establishment in Africa in too serious a light to allow it to decline. You see that your Government has just come to a determination worthy of itself and of France. At the first news of danger the KING and his Council decided on sending large reinforcements to Algeria. If we wera able to subject the country, and drive its implacable chief into Morocco with very inferior force, we shall now be able, with the powerful, reinforcements that are so generously grantedus, to bring matters to their former state, if not to ameliorate them." On which the journal of M. TRIERS remarks:— " Wbat is M. Bugeaud going to do? In an address to the colo nista of Algiers, he says that the Government has placed great forces at his disposal, but that, notwithstanding the reinforcements, it is not easy to re-establish tranquillity in a short time. Much Less must an expedition into Morocco, to chastise Abd.el-Kader and punish our neighbours for their perfidy, be thought of. Tran. quillity is restored, the Insurrection put down, and Abd-el-Kader forced to fly, without the reinforcements placed at the orders of M. Bugeaud being used. Here is a contradiction given to the first of his anticipations ; let the command be left to the generals who have just so gloriously avenged France, and we are cer tain that it will be the sem) with the second. We shall not pay moreattention to the unfortunate addresses of M. Bugeaud. There is, however, in the words addressed by him to the colonists, something which it is impossible not to remark, namely, the sentiment of jealousy which induces him to accuse of faults which they have nor committed the generals remaining in Attica. Would not one say, to hear the Governor, that the position was excellent when he left, and that the unskilfulness of his successors had corn_ promised everything. It is full time to treat these calumnies as they. deserve. Since M. Bugoad's return to France nothing has been changed in the dispositions taken by him. There was no time for it. Our 90;000 men, at least those who are not in hos. pita!, continue to be dispersed amongst an infinite number of petty posts. Not an order has been modified ; the west has remained bare of troops, for the simple reason that since Sept. 4, the day on which the Marshal quitted Africa, to the 20th of the same month, it was impossible to modify the system of M. Bugeaud, however vicious it might be. If, therefore, we were taken unaware, as the Debets expresses it, the fault is M. Bugeaud's, and his alone." The domestic intelligence in these papers is not important. The transactions on the Bourse on Saturday were few, and both stock and shares depressed. The Italian refugees, who had arrived at M arse ill es, were still treated as prisoners. Four teen of them, directed towards Saumur, were placed in the prison of Nisme3 on their passage through that place. The Courrier de Nismes states that a Russian prince, aged 24, banished from his country for political offences, and who was arrested at Algiers, is also in the same prison. Bor deaux has been assigned as his place of residence. A letter of the 16th instant, from Florence,. says :—" It was not all the subjects of the Pope who fit el into Tuscany that ob tained permission to embark,at Leghorn, as has been er roneously stated. A certain nu mber of these , - unfortu nate men have been confined in the prisons of Fort Delyidere, and, it is feared, they:Till ultimately be de, livered up to the Papal Government." in a letter from Milan of the 19th we find the following :—" The short visit made by the Emperor MUNI-AS to our city has been attended with a disastrous occurrence. Yesterday, Marshal ItAnErsaf wished to entertain his MAJESTY with a review. Most of the troops of the garrison being still out on the ground be tween Breschia and Verona, where the autumnal ma noeuvres are yearly practised, the Marshal hastily called in and collected 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry. Unfortu 'wady, in the precipitation with which this measure was taken, some of the soldiers had distributed to them ball cartridges; consequently, at the first fire several persoas were wounded. The number is not known, but we have learnt that four were carried to the hospital in the town, and that one of them is sincedead." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " The Government (says the Messages) has received news from China, via Alexandria, dated the 12th inst., by the Marquis de Ferriere Levayer, Secretary of the Legation, who will shortly arrive in Paris. The ratifications of the treaty of :miry and commerce, concluded on the 24th of October, 1844, between the plenipoten tklries of the King and the Emperor of China, were exchanged on the 25th of August last, at T,tiphani, near the Bogue, in the palace of the Mandarin Admiral, who commands the Chinese force in the Canton river. - At the same time M. de Lagrenee received a copy of the edict rendered by the Emperor of China in consequence of the negotiation opened to that effect, and which revokes the penalties imposed upon the Chinese Christians, and authorises them to profess their faith publicly. This document is accompanied by an official act which Ki-y.ng, in his quality of MO Commissioner, on the application of M. de Lagrenee, added to the text of the Imperial rescript to regulate its execution, define the rights of the Christian population, and take away from the Mandarins every pretence for showing their ill-will." " if we arc well informed (says the Presse) the Government has decided on convoking the Councils-General of Agriculture, Com merce, and Manufactures, on December 15. It was important to convoke these Councils at the moment when negotiations are pend. ing I,etween the Cabinets of Paris and Brussels, for the renewal of the Convention of July 16, 1842." " 1 he following majors-general have, it is said, just been raised to the rank of lieutenant-general : —Messrs. Gemeau, Letang, De Mornay, Valliant, and Lepays de Bourjolly. It is added, that Col. Gory, of the 56th Regiment of the line, now In Algeria, is to be made a major.general. " The opposition in Saxony continues to have the advantage in the thscussions of the Diet. It has got an address to the King voted, contrary to the wishes of the Ministry. The fourth para graph of the Address implied a sentiment of distrust towards the Government, and alluded to promises formerly made to Germany, and which the Diet of Frankfort has not kept. The First Minister of the Crown, M. de Tschann, opposed as much as possible this paragraph, which was notwithstanding adopted." _ . 01) the Paris Bourse on Saturday the Three per Cents. closed at 8211 35c.; the Five per Cents., at 117 f. 50c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,198 f. 75c. ; Rouen, 1,020 f. ; Havre, 822 f. 50c. ; Avignon. 1,007 f. 50c.; Vierzon, 735 f. ; Bordeaux, 650 E ; Boulogne, 598 f. 75c. ; Troyes and Mon terean, 505 f.; Basle, 270 f.

It is curious to remark in how powerful a manner the ;peaulations of those Contemporaries wh o di spute t h e act i on of Sir R. PEEL'S currency legislation upon the money market confirm, no doubt unwittingly, the propositions we have so often asserted of it. The most vehement advocate for the Premier's gold standard theory, asks what has become of the 30,000,0001. of deposits which have been paid into various bankers, on account of railway shares ? Another Contemporary, who disputes this writer's views upon the sub ject utterly and unhesitatingly, tacitly admits that he cannot answer this pithy question. He concurs with us, however, in objecting to the mischievoui tone assumed by the in terrogator, in " running amuck " against railway invest ments in general. But he is not less committed to all the disastrous fallacies of the bullionist. Now, in our turn, we beg to ask the whole of this school—the bullionists, the paper conver tibl e i n t o gold, the gold standard of currency doctors—what has become of the enormous aggregate of de posits pail within these few months on railway shares? We make them a present of our own incredulity as to the assumed amount of 30,000,000/. Be the amount what it may, it is however certain that the sum is to be told in millions. Has it been paid in in gold? In paper convertible into gold? In both the one and the other? The arewer will clearly be in the affirmative to the latter. It is then enough for our purpose to chow that the many additional milli ons , w h ich to make up even that it w as no t drawn existing aggreg a t e o f our this aggregate must have been called o u t o f pr i vate hoards, mciruesut have ati em added et to it tbhee contendedpi.evi o u out of any hoards, but simply diverted from those branches of investment in which it was befare placed into this railway share application. Then it is cer tain, either that the previous aggregate of the circulation is not diminished by the mere fact of the change of investment; or, that if it be ( which is most un likely) absorbed into the caeital of private bankers, it still exists for all purposes of the operation of the 7th and Bth of Vic., cap. 82, and the 4th and sth of Vic e cap, 50 3 the one embodying the sublime scheme of the issue and banking department of the Bank of England, and the other pe riodically promulgating the events aggregate accounts of the circulation of all the banks of Scotland and Ireland. This being so, •we take leave to ask how it happens that the total circulation of the flank, according to last Friday's Gazette, is contracted to 27,778,955/ . ? That the Bank of England felt it necessary to contract their issues within the last two or three week., for some sufficing reason, is abundantly evident on these two significant facts—they have raised their rate of discount, and the last Gazette pub lication shows that the diminution tf their gold and silver bullion stores has fallen below that which we had already consi dered its extremest point, On the 18th inst. we announced that the issue department of the Bank of England showed a total of 28,068,8261.; and the bullion was, gold, 12,253,2891.; silver 1,815,5311., together 14,068,8201. With last Friday comes the authorised announcement, that the notes issued are something under 27,779,0001., and the bullion only 13,783,95:/. ; viz., gold 12,018,4471., silver 1,760,508/. It would appear, therefore, that nothing i s muc h more clear, than th a t the combined operation of the Premier's mo netary system, and the continuous demands of railway wages in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Prussia, and even Italy—wherever in sh or t E ng li s h capital has been em barked in these works—is fast draining the country of that only legalised representative of active capital in what we may call its money realization, which the sagacity of the Currency La ws will permit to us. O ur condition thou is now simply this : at no previous period in the history of the country was there ever such a development of the spirit of enterprising invest ment; such a demand for incidentaideposits of capital to con . duct the vast transactions to which that spirit has now espe cially addressed its most vigorous energies; or a disparity be tween the amount of the paper which must represent these transactions, aud the - gold currency in which that paper must by law ht ultimately dis charged, and not only nitimately, but at any moment on demand— et) awfully apparent. Add to this statement of facts, the consideration ' that the issuers of th a t paper, must pay this g o ld f or i t , at a fixed unvarying rate of 31. 17s. 100. per oz., when the operation of all the other ele meats that compose this condition of singular em barrassment is, to enhance its market value to an extent, the limits of which no man can pretend to predict, although the enhanced value is already sensibly felt in the turn of the exchange at Paris, Hamburgh, Bremen, &c.,upon London; and we ask whether here is not the shadow cast before an approaching catastrophe, whose proximity it is impossible to doubt ? Whenever the !ba lancing of the operations we speak of arrives at that point in the evolution of the capital engaged in them at which it will become necessary far. large speculators, either to realise, in time to rave their market, or with a view, by closing accounts, to avoid incurring further losses than their remaining open shall have already occasioned to them, the immoderate rise in the value of gold money, will be in exact proportion to the immoderate excess of paper money and other securities, which are at present the floating ca pital, representing the unprecedented transactions in the share market. In directing the attention Wonr rotaders thus earnestly to the course in which events lc em fast determining, we must boldly avow our own opinion to be, that taken per se, the ex traordinary favour lately matifested by the public for railway speculations is a great nation 4 benefit. ,Making all allowances, that can in reason be insisted tpon, for improvidence, gambling fraud, and deception—elemtntS that will interpose their mischievous combinations in al dealings upon as vast a scale, —the railway mania has dot immeasurable service to in dustrial labour throughout he country. It has applied uncalculated masses of Britih capital to the most legiti mate of British purposes, by bringing into action, latent and hitherto domant facilities of com munication between all pars of • the United Kingdom, and with those facilities, uuliaited expansion to domestic trade, new energies . . to foreig t commerce, and permanent bases of increasing national gnadeur.

The past week's arrival of English Wheat for our markets, coastwise, was large, viz., nearly 16,000. quarters ; but by land carriage very little came to hand from any part. The receipts of Barley, Oats, Beans, and Flour, were limited— those of Peas good. From Ireland and Scotland compara tively few parcels of any kind of grain reached us. while the imports of foreign produce were net to say extensive. Fresh up, comparatively little Wheat came to hand from the neigh bouring counties, yet the stands were somewhat largely tilled, many parcels appearing on the market left over from last. week. Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was numerous, the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of home produce was somewhat inactive. However, the finest parcels of both red and white were mostly taken at prices quite equal to those obtained on Mon day last ; but those of the middling and out-of-condition sorts had, in some instances, a downward tendency. The fa co;;;-able weather experienced during the last ten days, cause d t ,;,p wheats to come to hand in much better condition than for some i',Llne past. The show of fine Foreign Wheat is small, but fully eqei2 l to the wants of the trade. elected qualities moved cif freely ; other kinds slowly, :at :i,:st week's currencies. In bond very few transactions took pace in Wheat ; but several speculative pur ciThees were made in Oats, Beans, and Peas, at extreme rates. The Barley trade, though the arrivals have been rather limited, was nett to say brisk; nevertheless malting parcels commanded a rise of is per quarter, and the value of grinding and distilling sorts had an upward tendency. At the close of the markets nearly the who , ' of the supply was cleared off. For superfine season. made Malt the sale was rather active, at fully previous rates. Other kineL were quite as dear. The show of Oats was very small, owing to which the extensive demand, and the high rates ruling in Ireland, together with advices having been received to the effect t;i:tt very few shipments are, making from • the principal fizh ports either to London or Liverpool, the quotations (which rose quite I s on Friday) ruled 2s to 3s per quarter higher than en this day se'anight, and at which total clearance was k Meted. The supply of Beaus was flr from extensive. All k'nds moVed off freely, at rather more money. As has ben the case for soma time past, Peas commanded a brisk inqu'rv, at a rise in the quotations of from Is to 2s per quar ter. i'or exports very little was eking. The supply from our own toasts was again large, and of good quality. Flour was in fair request, and the best town-made was selling at 60s per 2801bs. Canary Seed was Is to 2s per quarter dearer. Lins,ed was in request, at more money. Other kinds of Seeds supported late rate..

The past week's imports of foreign stock into London have been only moderate, viz., 51 Oxen, 67 Cows, and 800 Sheep, from Rotterdam, to ether with 25 Oxen from Hamburgh, and about 40 small Pigs from France. To-day Con l ..)' about 80 foreign Beast and 120 Sheep were on offer, the who;; of which found buyers at full prices. At the outporta about 200 Beasts and Sheep have been received, chiefly from Hol land. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up were very extensive, the time of year considered, and on the whole of improved quality. The attendance of buyers being numerous, the primest Scots; Devons, Herefords, Runts, commanded a very steady sale at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. The middling and inferior breeds were not quite so active . as on that day; nevertheless, previous rates were well supported, and a good clearance was effected. From the Northern counties we received about 2,000 Short horns ;l from the eastern districts 300 Scots, Home-breds, Short-horns, &c.; from the western and midland parts of England 700 Herefords, Devous, Runts, &c. ; from other parts 400 of various breeds ; from Ireland 90 Beasts ; and from Scotland 120 Horned and Polled Scots. The numbers of Sheepwere again small, owing to which the Mutton trade was decidedly brisk, and the quotations had, in some instances, an upward tendency. The demand for Veal was active, and the rates were quite 4d per Blbs higher than on this day se'n night. Although we had a full average supply of Pigs on offer, the sale for them was firm, and the late advance in the quotations was well supported. aNn FAEADENIIALX. The arrival of slaughtered Meat up to these markets, uric g the past week, have been smAl, the time of year con idered, though of full average quality. The supplies killed in the metropolis have been by no means large, I ence the general demand is in a very healthy state. In some in stances, the primest meat has produced more money—the value of the middling and inferior kinds being well sup ported. Very little foreign meat has been offering. BOV.OUGIE AND SPIT.A.LPZELDS. A large portion of the supplies of Potatoes arrived since our last, is affected with the prevailing disease. The demand is firin, and prices are on the advance. The best York reds are re.ling at 1•10 s.; the best Scotch ditto, 'pos. per ton. Diseasod samples may be had at from 20s. to 30s. per ton. DOS:OUGH 1-10 P LILUIXZT., Ahhough the demand for most kinds of Hops is not quite so active as noticed in our last reports, prices are pretty generally supported. The fine now East Kents on sale are held at high rates. The duty is called at 1.60,000/. WOOL. The larr;e public sales of Wool were brought to a close on Friday evening. Nearly the whole of the parcels offered have been sold, at full prices. The imports during the week have been small. Although the stocks of both English and foreign held by the manufacturers are small, the demand by private contract is rather inactive. at late rates. TA-W.OIW. Notwithstanding the very lar g e arrivals (2?,000 casks) in the last fourteen days, the price of Tallow is much better maintained than was anticipated. Fine New Yellow Candle on the spot in small parcels, is worth 425. There are no willing sellers fur forward delixery; the quotation for December is 425, and for the Spring months 42s 6d.
