EXETER, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25.—A special ge neral meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday afternoon at the New London Inn, in this city, Mr. Woolcombe in the chair; in pursuance of a requisition, signed by 22 shareholders, represent ing between 1,600 and 1,700 shares, and Mr. C. Ste vens, whose name appeared at the head of the list, had signified his intention of moving a resolution re quiring the appointment of a committee to inquire into the affairs of the company. Mr. STRVENS then proposed the following resolu tion :—" Tnat a committee, to consist of three per sons, proprietors in the South Devon Railway Com pany, be appointed for the purpose of considering whether any and what measures ought to be adopted, with a view to the reduction of the working expenses of the undertaking, improving the traffic and revenue thereof, establishing and maintaining the credit of the company, and other wise improving the conduct and ma nagement of its affairs. Also, whether it be expedient that the provisions in the company's Act of incorpora tion, in reference to the appointment, the number, and order of rotation of directors, the right of voting the audit of accounts, the powers of sale and leasing, and other provisions should be altered or enlarged, and also to report their opinion on the expediency of an application to Parliament for these purposes, the com mittee to have full powers to call for, and require the production of, and to examine, inspect, and take copies of all books, accounts, and papers of the com pany, and to employ accountants and other assistants and with all other necessary and proper power. The committee to report also on the state and condition of the company and its affairs; and that it be a direc tion to such committee to state the names of the per sons who have been deprived of any pecuniary advan tage by reason of all or any of their calls having been from time to time unpaid, and the sums of money which they have lost thereby, with a view to the re turning them the same. His object, he said, was simply an inquiry into certain facts which had ap peared to the requisionists to require investigation. He represented in that meeting 111 persons, pro prietors of more than 1,600 shares, and the claim which he made on their part for an inquiry ought not to be denied by the directors. He would refer to one subject touched upon in the requisition, viz., the hire of locomotive trains. Was it not fitting that the contract for a matter of such importance should he submitted to the shareholders for their ap proval ? He would also refer to the present state of the credit of the company. That it was bad, was not to be disputed; but what was the reason ofits beingso, with a revenue larger than their debenture debts ? He had no hesitation in ascribing it to the mismanage ment of the directors. Mr. Stevens then proceeded to vindicate his own conduct in reference to the pre ference shares, the validity of which he had disputed, and to answer a circular issued by the directors, ex planatory of their own conduct in the transaction. the reasons he had given would show the necessity of placing more power in the hands of the shareholders, and in order to do so he entreated their support to the resolution he bad proposed. Captain EDWARD JENNINGS, R. N., seconded the resolution. Mr. MILNER moved as an amendment—" That a committee of shareholders be appointed to confer with the directors." A committee of investigation was frequently a committee of hostility, and the appoint ment of a committee of the shareholders to confer with the directors, would meet the view of the larger body of those interested. Mr. G. HARPER seconded the amendment. Mr. GELL, of Plymouth, said he believed that the board could give good reasons for its conduct, and trusted that they would come forward and give those reason•. He trusted that several items of expense would be wanting in the next year's accounts. He was an advocate for the reduction of fares, and he believed that the experiment was worth trying. The expense of the permanent way was also much too large in his opinion. He did not wish to see Mr. Stevens's motion adopted, nor yet thrown aside alto gether. But it was quite true that some effort was made to retrieve the present condition of the company, by increasing its traffic, and reducing the cost of ma nagement. The CHAIRMAN said that the committee to inquire, and the committee - to confer, were, in fact, identical, and he should treat them as such in his observa tions. He had nut sought the position he then occu pied, and he would not only be willing but glad to surrender its arduous duties at the call of the share hol lers. During the period in which he and his col leagues had held °Mee, the working expenses de creased steadily every half•year, with a corresponding increase in the receipts of the line. The permanent way contract would effect a considerable saving on the present rates—the difference between the rate per mile they paid to the contractor, and the rate per mile of the Great Western, as to the increased charge for the maintenance of the permanent way. This charge was always greater in new lines than in old ones, and he was afraid that they would for a short time increase, although that would soon be followed by a permanent diminution. He believed that rail way companies would make the largest amount of profit at the lowest rate of fares. lie thought that the change should not, however, be sudden. If they had confidence in the directors let them that day avow it ; and if they had not, let them not have a committee of investigation, but have a new set of directors alto gethrr. half-an-hour will be saved in the journey to and from Worcester. The journey to Cheltenham at present occupies an hour and three-quarters ; hereafter it will be accomplished in the hour. GREAT WESTERN.—The directors have issued or ders that henceforth all sidings on their line shall have fixed " scotches" placed upon them, to prevent car riages or trucks drifting by any possibility on to the main line, and Mr. Tyrrell, the general manager, is now seeing that the arrangement is carried out. These scotches are to be locked on to the line, so as to obviate either wilful or accidental displacement. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT.—Captain Laffan, the Government inspector, has just been over this line, now completed to the watering place of Southport, 18 miles from Liverpool, and it will be opened immediately. 9,684 Reading Bank, Reading—Simonds and Co 26,228 Reading Bank, Reading—Stephens,Blandy, and Co Richmond Bank, Richmond—Maxwell and Co Ringwood and Poole Bank, and Town and County of Poole Bank, Ringwood..

DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Revenue, Somerset /louse, Sept. 21, 1830 e Mr. Fox then moved a vote of confidence in the directors. It was objected that this resolution could not be put until the others were disposed of. After some discussion Mr. AIILMAN withdrew his amendment, and Mr. NORRIS stconded Mr. Fox's resolution, observing that he should afterwards pro pose that it be referred to the directors to ascertain some means of adjusting the varying interests of the holders of original and preference shares, and to admit both to immediate participation in the profits of the 9,279 9,039 company. Mr. BAILEY, a shareholder, then rose amidst cries of "Question." Upon his announcemeut that he would be heard, and had a long speech to make, the patience of the meeting, which had lasted already five hours, gave way, and although it was announced that a special train would run to Plymouth after the London mail had passed, the room was half emptied. Mr. Bailey, with a resolution which would have done honour to a better cause, maintained his ground, and had his speech all to himself. The shareholders re monstrated loudly against Mr. Bailey's pertinacity, finding that, iii spite of all - interruption, he still con tinned. About fifty gentlemen declared that they would return in three quarters of an hour, and vote when he had done. Mr. Bail-y, after more than an hour's perseverance, gave up his point, but in conse quence of many shareholders having actually left to dine, it was deemed necessary to keep the poll open until nine o'clock. The result wa% that Mr. Stevens's motion was lost; ;hat of Mr. Fox, f>r a vote of confidence i❑ the direc :ors, being carried. The meeting then thanked the Chairman for his mpartial conduct, and separated. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERBAIIPTON RAILWAY. The completion of the branch line of this railway, bringing the city of Worcester into immediate com munication with the Midland (Bristol and Birming ham) Railway, has since the last half -yearly meeting of the company been so rapidly forwarded as to be ready for the inspection of the Government surveyor, and accordingly yesterday the inhabitants of 'Wor cester were astonished by the appearance within the suburbs of that city of a locomotive engine and ten der, the first that has ever been seen in the locality. The Government inspector was Captain Galton. At- tended by officers of the Midland Railway Company, this gentleman started from the Spetchley station of the Bristol and Birmingham line, for the purpose of inspecting the branch line of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, from Abbott's -wood (about two miles and a half from Spetchley station) to Worcester. The junction at Abbott's-wood had been completed some days previously, and one set of rails had also been laid down throughout the line from Abbott's-wood to Worcester, the other line being nearly complete. The distance is four miles, and the first part of the line runs through an easy country. As it approaches Worcester, however, there are two or three heavy cuttings and embankments, and Wor cester lying in a hollow on the banks of the Severn, f.urrounded on all sides by rising ground, the line does not run into the city, but passes through the suburbs along a rising ground on the east, a short tunnel having to be passed through north of the 'Wor cester station. The branch up to the station, however, is at present only to be opened, so that the tunnel (which h as b een completed for two years at least) will not b e requ i red for present use. 'The opening of the wh o l e o f t h e loop line from Abbott's-wood through Worcester t o S to k e would have greatly enhanced the d c w te i d t with imp hteaevge o iryteanncteo renderedo f thett h h s e ee v i enrt compne n i d arnn e d yp r o lo p i i eb n mi ierei tog a but Ci. b co u em t r a tma s ii t ns h s i ig s oun w a, o rt ah u na l enwaepashtr when bringt he north end of the t line ort saonuffi surplus t traffic c el euuanpsmn narrow rnpi rdr b ool t e wahfi net gauge, opened, aicun oegTm.eThe pebaTun s hty o i intentio n h as been abandoned until a larger portion of remunerative present e e r er n st t ae i b nn r t a fixedi n s c c h o ni rentleased the main line is opened broad gauge rails will be added.

There can b e no doubt about the etabiliry of the works, which ha ve already stood the test of time.

He did not know where she lived, nor what her name was, nor had he ever seen her face, but be give her an excellent character, as far as he could judge. He was told to ask for her name and address ; and one morning, after having got this, the two young philanthropists went to the assigned place, but were very much disappointed by finding that no such place existed. After having again spoken to the watchman, they got an answer through him that the girl pur posely gave a wrong address, in order to get rid of the young men, and that she also decidedly refused to give her right name and address, or to go to see any person, adding that " no one knew who she was, and no one ever should know." After about a month's diplomatic negotiations by means of the watchman, the girl agreed at last to visit a German lady, univer sally esteemed in Glasgow for her kindness and bene volence. Arrived there, and putting the jealous shawl aside, a pale, interesti ng f ace was di scovered. The girl gave satisfactory references as to her former life. It appeared that she was a native of Edinburgh ; that having become destitute from the death of her father, the illness of other members of her family (they were bed rid with fever), and many other circumstances, and not being able to get work sufficient to provide for a sick mother and young brother, and being possessed of a good voice—her only family inheritance—she resolved to try to make a precarious living by singing on the streets during the twilight and evening. Being asked to sing she readily complied. Mr. Seligmann, the well-known professor of music, who Was present, and one of the young men who had first taken an in terest in the voice, said—" The voice of that young girl is not the one we admired so much." He re marked as something peculiar, And which he had ob served on previous occasions, that the voice sounded on some evenings most beautifully, while at °their times it was very indifferent. The girl insisted that she was the person in question, and by repeating her conversation with the watchman, by naming over the list of songs she was in the custom of singing, estab lished beyond doubt that she was the individual in whom they seemed to take an interest. The matter remained unexplained at the time, and the visit ended by the lady and Mr. Seligmann promising to call on her sick mother, after having had inquiries made into the character of the family. Having found this to be in all respects satisfactory, the promised call was given, and then it was found out that the girl had a sister, who was then with a distant relation in Pais ley, and who, when she happened to be in Glasgow, sometimes relieved ber from the task of singing in the streets. The two girls were taken by the gentlemen and the watchman for only one, and as the two sisters communicated their adventures to each other, the mistake was thus easily explained. The second girl, who was the elder of the two, was sent for, and her voice soon proved her identity. Most satisfactory information as to her character having also been received, another benevolent German lady instructed her in reading, writing, and other elemen tary branches of education, and Mr. Seligmann gave her singing and piano lessons. When her kind in structress left Glasgow the girl was put at board to different respectable families in succession, and her education soon took a higher bent. Her conduct and diligence gave great pleasure to her patrons, who, by private subscription, raised a sum of money for her support. After more than two years' instruction in Glasgow, it was considered expedient to send her to Germany to pursue a higher branch of musical study then this country affords. From thence, where she has been labouring successfully about 18 months, we receive the most flittering accounts of her voice, the compass of which is from G below the lines to E flat in alt, nearly three octaves. We hear, moreover, that she makes great progress in every female accomplish.. ment, and that she is received into the best society. As she is to appear soon in concerts in her native country, we consider it our duty to direct the atten tion of our readers to her history, and to interest them in her behalf. The name of the handsome young lady, in whose elegant manners, lady-like deportment, and great musical abilities no one would find out any trace of the street-singer, is Christina Dawson. We have watched the progress of Miss Dawson's education since she was taken in charge by her phi lanthropic protectors, and have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the rapid and steady progress she made under her different tutors before her remo val to Germany. We may also add that we have been long acquainted with the facts contained in the above simple narrative, and would have given them publicity, but we delayed the recital until their publication might be of service to her on the occasion of her first public appearance as a professional vocalist. We may here add that the father of Miss Dawson was through life an industrious mechanic, originally, we believe, from Rothsay. Christina, the heroine of the above little story, is his eldest child. The widowed Mrs. Dawson, with her second daughter and son, are now in Edinburgh, where they have been by the kind aid of Miss Dawson's patrons, put into a sm a ll an d respectable way of gaini ng their livelihood, so that they are now placed beyond the necessity of depending upon eleemosynary aid. Miss Dawson's professional career, it is to be hoped, will further remove them from want, and may, as she has always shown great filial and sisterly affection towards her relatives, place them in a more comfortable position in society than their late gloomy prospects would have led them to hope for.—Glasgow Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Jane Truman was again brought up, and placed at the bar before Alderman Cha.lis, charged with steal ing two 100/. Bank of England notes, one 201. ditto, one 10/. ditto, one 51. ditto, a cheque for 371., and 71. 10s. in gold, from the person of Mr. John Winpenny, woollen manufacturer, lately residing at the Castle and Falcon, Aldersgate-street. Alderman CHALLIS said, as none of the stolen pro• perty had been found, and the prosecutor was not present to identify her more fully than he had done on the previous examinations, he should feel it his duty to discharge the prisoner, as there was no case made out against her. Edward Matthew Macklin was brought up on re mand for further examination, charged with fraudu lently obtaining silk goods to the value of about 600/. of Mr. Edward H. Davies, of .5, Goldsmith-street, City, agent for M. Faessler Petzi, silk-manufacturer of Paris and Lyons. The case was remanded from the last examination merely for the production of the goods by the various pawnbrokers, who hold them in trust till such time as they shall be ordered to give them up. A great quantity of goods, consisting of silk., satins, plushes, umbrellas, &c., were produced by Mr. Sowerby and other pawnbrokers, amounting in all t o the value of ab ou t 4001. or 5001., but they were pledged for not more than about 2701. Alderman CHALLIS could not help remarking upon the facility afforded by pawnbrokers in general to servants to dispose of goods of which they had robbed their employers. He thought that when such valu able goods as those produced were presented for pledging, that the pawnbroker, for his own safety, should make some inquiry as to how the party pledg ing became possessed of them. With regard to the present case, he should remand it till Monday next, with the understanding that the prisoner would then be finally committed, and the depositions in the mean time would be prepared accordingly. Joseph Ruddick was charged with stealing a quan tity of valuable books, the property of his employers, Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., of Stationers'- hall-court. Alderman CHALLIS said—From the manner, pri soner, that you appear to treat this charge, I believe that you are not aware of the serious position you have placed yourself in. You are liable, according to the Act under which your employers have prosecuted you, to be compelled to pay double the amount of the value of the property, to be fined 51., and to be impri soned for three months for each offence proved against you; and in default of payment within three days of the time of committal of the forfeiture and fine, to he publicly whipped in the House of Correction or any other public place that the magistrate may think fit to appoint. The cases are all very clear, though I can only convict upon two, for which I shall impose a fine of Si. and three months' imprison ment for each offence—the second three months to commence at the expiration of the other. The books are to be given up to the prosecutor without any re muneration. lam sorry to have to remark once more upon the conduct of the pawnbrokers. In the cases just disposed of it has been shown that 3s. has been lent upon property worth 255., and upon the pawn broker's own acknowledgment they could get ös. for the same, even if they sold them to the greatest dis advantage. I consider that if pawnbrokers are de termined to carry on a wholesale system of receiving stolen goods, the only way to make them more care ful is to make them the sufferers on conviction It is only by repeated losses that they will be brought to a proper sense of their duty. If a poor man were to act in a similar way to only one-fourth the extent he would most probably be transported for it ; and Jam therefore determined to use every means in my power to suppress such an iniquitous system. The books were then given up, and Mr. Longman, the publisher, and Mr. Miles, on the part of Messrs. Simpkin and Marshall, thanked the Alderman for the kindness he had shown in his attendance to the case, and retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A hootmaker, who gave the name of John Chain pion, but whose real name is Desmond, was brought before Mr. Hard wick charged with having committed a gross outrage on a young woman named Rose Chamberlain. Mrs. Champion, a respectable-looking married woman, said she was walking through Percy -street yesterday evening with her niece, Rose Chamberlain, and a female friend, when the defendant, who was a perfect stranger, suddenly laid hold of her niece in a way unfit to be described. She pushed the defend ant away, upon which be applied an infamous name to her, and made use of language, both to herself and her niece, of the most disgusting character. She called for the assistance of the police, and sent her niece to fetch her husband. The defendant then charged her with stealing his pocket-handkerchief, and insisted on the constable taking her into custedy. The police-constable said the defendant appeared as if he had been drinking. The defendant was tined 51. each for assaults on aunt and niece, making 101. together, or four months' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE. Mr. James Worthington Lavasey, residing in Union-place, New-road, was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, charged with the following shameful assault upon Catherine Hollis, a married woman, and who lives in David-street, York-place, Portman-square.. Mr. Davies, solicitor, of Dorset-street, attended for the defendant, who was described as a law-student of the Inner Temple. Complainant, whose upper lip was swollen, gave evidence to the effect thaton the previous night, about ten o'clock, as she was proceeding along East-street, Manchester-square, she was followed by defendant, who at length accosted her, and asked her whither she was going; to which she replied that she was going home. He requested to be permitted to ac company her, and on her telling him that she could not permit anything of the sort, he exclaimed, " Then take that," at the same time giving her a blow on the mouth. He then ran away, and on her crying out, "Stop him !" he was taken into custody. It further appeared, that when captured by Church, 129 D, he had fled for refuge into a ccok's shop in Paddington street. On the way to the station, and also when first laid hold of by the officer, he denied having struck the complainant. Mr. Davies said that after all that had been stated he would not attempt for a moment to show that the charge was an unfounded one, and he thought under all the circumstances that the best course for him to take was that of an expression of regret on the part of the defendant for his conduct; the defendant was truly sorry for what had occurred, and he hoped that the magistrate would deal with the case as leniently as possible. Mr. LONG inflicted a penalty of 50s. for the assault, which he looked upon as being one of a serious and unprovoked nature. Mr. Davies requested that defendant, ins'ead of being compelled to pay the sum alluded to, might be permitted to arrange with the complainant; but the magistrate would not comply with the wish. Two youths, named Walter Blake and Jeremiah Stansham, were placed at the bar for re-examination on the charge of having stolen a quantity of silver plate to a considerable extent, the property of Mr. Edward Broughton, of St. James's-terrace, St. John's wood. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. CL ERKE N WELL. Thomas Thomond, a sullen-looking fellow, 20 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged by Mr. Joseph Thomond, his oN n father, a master baker residing in William-street, Caledonian-road, Islington, with having stolen two silver table-spoons and other articles of plate, and also with having threatened his life, by which he went in bodily fear. The father, who was evidently much affected, said that the prisoner was a drunken, profligate fel low, who might do well were it not fur his depraved inclinations. He had endeavoured in his youth to instil moral principles in his mind, but to no pur pose. On the whole of Wednesday last he was drunk, and continued annoying witness by driving backwards and forwards before his door in a cabriolet'. He received information that the prisoner bad boasted to a neighbour that he had taken two silver spoons, &c. Subsequently be called on witness and asked him for money, which he declined giving him, on which he threatened to have his life, and, taking several half-crowns from bis pocket, exhibited them, and said he did not want money, and he threw a pawnbroker's duplicate on the counter for the pro perty, which had been pledged at Mr. Neade's, in Penton-street, Pentonville. He consulted with a policeman, and gave the prisoner into custody. Wit ness added, with a flood of tears, that the prisoner had frequently alarmed them out of their sleep in the dead of the night to demand money ; his mother sometimes got out of bed and remonstrated with him, when he threatened, with dreadful language, that he would never he satisfied until he could put a bullet through her heart. He had used a similar threat to wards witness. Mr. TYRWHITT inquired what course he wished to be adopted towards the prisoner ? Mr. Thomond— I wish to be protected. My property and life are not safe. Something must be done. Mr. TYRWHITT said there was abundance of evi dence as to the unlawfully pawning the property. Prisoner (sullenly)—Can't I have a solicitor ? The evidence of the pawnbroker was taken down as to the pledging the articles fcr 1/. 2s. The prisoner in his defence said he had been drink ing for two or three days, and the only excuse he could make for himself was that he was under the in fluence of liquor at the time. Mr. Trawnirr, addressing the prisoner, said his conduct was most disgraceful. There ought to be some limit placed on the conduct of bad and violent sons towards their parents, and he could hardly cou- FRANCE. General de Saint Priest has addressed the following letter to the Legitimatist journals, explaining the late Legitimatist manifesto:— "It is easy by the assistances of ban irded suppositions to pervert facts, and to draw from them inductions alike false and exaggerated. That is what has now taken place. Allow roe to re-rstahlish the truth. What, in fact, has taken .place? A circular was addressed to two or three electoral correspondents in each department; it bears the signature of a man who, since 1845, has been charged with this correspondence, and who has no other functions than those of secretary of this electoral coin mittee; it points out the names of five persons who, from different claims and under different regimes, have fur many years past been honoured with a confidence which they have always considered compatible with their duties as citizens. The object of this circular is the condemnation of a doctrine erroneous in a monar chical point of view. One of the copies fell, either by chance or otherwise, into strange hands, and acquired a publicity for which the document was never intended. It has been laid hold of to disguise intentions ; to carry up to a high quarter a responsibility which my honour forbids me to decline, convinced, as I am, that it is only the exercise of a legitimate right to write to correspondents who share in your opinions, and cer tain that it would be vain to attempt to find in my acts or in my private life absolutist doctrines opposed to the present period. I protest against this abuse. Only one question of doctrine is treated of in the circular— that of an appeal to the people; and it is condemded as incompatible with the principle of hereditary monarchy. The direction of general policy is there also spoken of; but who is there that can understand from that any thin,' more than the' direction of the ideas -of a party which will not separate its principle from the national liberties, so loudly proclaimed even by the representa tive of that principle? And how can it be supposed that the men whose directions and correspondences have for so long a time only had for object the exercise of the rights which existing institutions have conferred on them, would suddenly change their convictions and their language, when the matured wisdom of that Prince, in spite of the absolutist impulses of a part of Europa, has traced these noble words, the dictates of his heart, May the spectacle of so many calamities, and the fear of evils which threaten the future, not lead allay minds far from these great principles of justice and of public liberties, which at this time more than ever the friends of the people and of kings should defend and maintain.' I must confine myself, sir, to this simple statement, in avoiding all that might be irritating; but I think I have in my turn the right to demand that a meaning shall not be sought for in this letter which is not put there. Thirty years since, in 1821, the illustrious Royer-Collard said that words were tortured to mike them say other than the Muth; it appears that the st cret has not been forgotten GERMAN Y. A telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort of the 24th inst., in the Kobier Zeitung, states that the Council of Garman Governments, sitting in that city under the auspices of Austria, has declared that the refusal of the Hessian Diet to grant the supplies is illegal and opposed to the interests of the Confederation ; that the Hessian Government shall endeavour to restore a state of legality and order, and that corresponding measures will be taken by the Council. From Munich we learn of the 20th inst. that the Bavarian army, now concentrated on the banks of the Maine and on the frontiers of Hessen, is being rein forced to a considerable extent. We ought also to mention a rumour of a small Hanoverian army which is said to be approaching the frontiers of Hessen. The Prussian Government, too, are preparing to concen trate a corps of observation in Westphalia, near Paderborn. The Common Council of Hanau have addressed. the following petition and remonstrance to the Elector : " May it please your Royal Highness!—Your Royal Highness's decree of the 17th inst., which transfers the seat of your Government to Wilhelmsbad,uccuses the Courts of Justice and the functionaries of our country of an undutiful conduct, while it expressos a hope that your subjects will - support you in your endeavours to restore the Constitution of the country. Royal Highness! the undersigned members of the Common Council of Hanau, when they consider the facts and events of these latter days, cannot but presume that you are falsely informed as to the general sentiments of the country; and we therefore think it our duty to give evi d.-nce of the state of public opinion respecting the late measures of your Government. Royal Highness! public opinion declares your Ministers to be your worst ene mies. They are considered as men who end' avour to subvet t not only the Hessian constitution, but also your own high Electoral House, and who are so many serpents in your bosom. Condemned by public opinion, and al most crushed by public contempt, these men are aware that they are indeed fugitives and vagabonds on the face of the earth. But still they persist ; still they continue in their desperate career, and close their ears to the voice of justice and common sense. Such a con dition of affairs is unheard of in the annals of German history. The people of Hessen is not on.your Royal Highness's side. Your Government stands un supported and isolated. Your courts and functionaries are not undutiful—they know their duty. The legal and dignified attitude of the people will intimate to you who the men are who have trampled on law and justice, and who have violated the constitution of the country. " Royal Highness! we pray you to make your peace with the country, and to put a term to a state of things which must necessarily end unfavourably to you. Con sider that a Constitutional Government is impossible for Ministers of that class, and that with your Ministers you have no choice but to overthrow the constitu:ion, and to introduce a despotic Government. Listen to our most humble prayer ! remove the seat of your Govern ment back to the capital of the count r y, di sc h arge your traitorous Ministers, and fulfil y our prom i se of the 11th oellVele oarcfb3ou ~lr B 4, by selectin g men who have the confi dL subjects." "Banat!, Sept. 21." ITALY, The Paris Evenenient publishes a letter from its Neapolitan correspondent, which announces the out break of a formidable insurrection in the two Cala bria,. The writer st ites that he takes advantage of the departure of a friend to Marseilles to send the letter, for that the Neapolitan police open and exa mine all letters sent by post, even those contained in the ambassador's bag, and d es t roy every letter con taining poli!ical intelligence. Th e writer, whose letter is dated Sept. 5, then proceeds to state that a formidable insurrection has broken out in the two Calabrias, which seems likely to embrace the en tirety of both provinces. The Neapolitan Govern ment is greatly alarmed, and has ordered a frigate to proceed to Cotrona, a port of Ultra-Calabria, and to bombard the city. The three provinces of Calabria appear to be acting in concert in this insur rec ti on . Armed bands are organizing under the command of popular leaders on various points of the Calabrian territory ; among the leaders are Ferdinand Bianchi and Dominique Fulco de Rossano, who, in the province of Cosenza direct the operations of two con siderable bodies of Guerillas, and who appear to be acting in concert. Francisco Stocchi, who in June, 1948,iheaded the insurgents of Ultra- Calabria having been arrested by the gendarmerie, was rescued by Stocchi, who, having delivered his friend, generously permitted these same gensdarmes, who inflict the bastinado and the torture on women and children in order to force their hus bands to surrender, to retire. At Nuastro, the insurgents had a skirmish with the garrison of the town, in which the latter were defeated, and 23 gens darme, and 4 municipal guards, the judge, and some other Government employes, were shot. In this city alone the military authorities had issued orders for the seizure of upwards of 900 persons, dead or alive. According to the latest accounts the insurrec tion was spreading. A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. In the evening, towards the end of the year 1846, when the typhus fever was making its ravages amongst the poor in the populous districts of Glas gow, a female was often heard singing at the edge of the pavement before the Western Club House. Her dress consisted of little more than a petticoat and a shawl. With the latter she covered her face, head, breast, and shoulders. The passer-by could not dis tinguish whether she was well-formed or crooked, good-looking or marked by the small-pox, young or old, but the musical connoisseur could judge, from the melancholy strains that forced their way from within the all-protecting shawl, that the sound came from the voice of a girl of about seventeen years of age. She never solicited alms, but took whatever was given her with a curtsey, and now and then with a blessing, murmured in a low voice. One night, when " the winds were whistling cold," and the rain was pouring down '.ll torrents, two young German gentlemen were passing the girl, who was striving all in her power, against wind and weather, to keep her features concealed from the world. They gave her a trifle and hurried on, always accompanied by the heart-touching tones of her voice. Suddenly one of them stopped and said, " Do you hear that voice ? What beauty and power! Does no one try to save the possessor of such a voice from destruc tion ? Shall a girl with such a gift from Heaven die from hunger, or worse ?" " Let us see what we can do," answered the other. They returned, called the watchman of the district, and sought information from him. The watchmim could say very little about ' 420 6,973 5,32 8,28 5,365 7,612 9,958 9,619 2,365 1,447 2,839 1,068 0,793 6,767 6,798 8,747 5,486 0,786 5,78 Cl/iv°, ißtittton MANCHESTER RACES. (THIS DAY.)

Contrary to our anticipation, the speeches of Lord Stanley at Warrington last night afforded no materials for comment. His Lordship was all smoothness and ur banity: compliments flowed from his lips, and he re velled in common-place. For a: man of his conscious power to so deal in harmless nothings must have been a task of considerable difficulty. Once, indeed, he approached a subject that would have probably given greater vigour to his periods. He just touched upon free-trade, probably to feel the pulse of his auditory.

A GREAT SNAHH.—Mr. Charles J. Muschert, to ha •conist, Market-street, and Mr. R. W. Warneck, thi s morning, caught in the cellar of the residence of the former, Filbert-street, a large snake, suppo.,ed to be of the boa constrictor species. His snakeship made a tremendous noise among the crocks and pans in the cellar, about ten or eleven o'clock last evening, which aroused the lady of Mr. Mus• chart, but she thinking that the Sound proceeded from rats retired to rest. Upon an examination this mornin g t h e h uge reptile was discovered snugly resting upon one of the shelves quiet and contented, after a plentiful feast upon rats. The snake is thought to have belonged to the former residents of the house; or perhaps it may have esc ape d f rom some cage. Mr. Muschert has occupied the house about one week. The serpent is about seven feet in length, a n d i n t h e centre mea sures at least six inchesin circumference. It is of a dark colour, dotted singularly with beautiful golden spots. Mr. Muschert, not relishing such a pet, took it up to Barnum's Museum, where it can be seen as one of the greatest curiosities of that far-famed establishment. Colonel Sandford has him well caged, in company with a big anaconda.—. Philadelphia renvicanian. The applicant said that he had no evidence to prove that his wife had been assisted in the removal cf the property in question, and having thanked the magis" trate for his advice, he then withdrew.

In the course of the morning an application Wee made for the Magistrate's advice relative to a quantity of woman's wearing apparel, principally consisting of theatrical dresses, alleged to have been surreptitiously taken by Madame Ponisi, one of the Surrey Theatre comrany, from the abode of her husband. The applicant, a young man who described himself as the husband of Madame Ponisi, addressing the m a. gistrate (Mr. Beadon), said that on Friday last his wife, without giving hirdany intimation of what she was about to do, left home, taking with her property in dress to the amount of nearly 1001. He had sines discovered that she was accompanied in her flight by a member of the same establishment, and he ha d strong grounds for suspecting that she was now re eding in a house at that side of the water. The fir, plicant had obtai ne d th e a dd ress of her presum ea abode, and the object of his application was to be in' formed whether he would be justified in taking for* cible possession of the property, and whether the we" gistrate could render him any assistance. Mr. BEADON told the applicant if he could prov e that his wife had been assisted in the removal of the, property by th e man w i th whom she had been al l ege d to elope he could aid him. If, however, the lady had voluntarily removed the clothes, which were their joint property, she was not amenable for any offence which would subject her to proceedings in tha t court, and he (the magistrate) had no control over the matter.
