AILROADS IN THE ISLE OF 'WIGHT. -Lib That the public may not be misled by the various statements that have appeared in the public papers, and ix the pro apectus of the Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New port on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried, declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc tion of radways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen was, at the *ante time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the railway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee to state, that net only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition to the profect in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for. C. W. ESTCOURT, Hon. Secretary to the Committee. P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the Direct Ryde and Ventnor Railway, I am instructed by the Com mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided opposition as the former projects. REGISTERED PROVISIONALLY. THE HUDDERSFIELD and EAST and WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY. The Provisional Directors have the satisfaction of informing the shareholders that, in addition to the beneficial arrangement effected with the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company, already announced, they have also brought to a satisfactory conclu sion the pending negotiation with the Committee of Management of the Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway Company, whereby the support and co-operation of that Company is secured to this line. By such recent arrangement, the proposed lines of this undertaking, and of the Hull and I tarnslev Railway, are to fonn ajunction together, at or near the Midland Railway; by means whereof, and of the several existing and other pro:ected railways, when completed, it is considered the original design of this undertaking, namely, that of connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, Great Grimsby. and Hull, with a communication to the metropolis, from or near the Cudworth Station of the Midland Railway, by one continuous and a more direct arid shorter line of railway communi cation than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now before the public, will be accomplished, and that, too, at a saving, in outlay, of more than one-third of the original proposed capita I of the Company. Besides the advantages befbre offered to the public by this under taking, the recently declared intention of the Huddersfield and Man chester Railway and Canal Company, to extend their line to Brad ford, when carried into effect, enables this Company, by a short branch of one mile (or thereabouts) in length, to connect together, by railway communic.ition, the two important manufacturing towns of Barnsley and Bradford. The Allotment of Shares having taken place, the Directors feel it due to state the following reasens is explanation of the disappoint ment which doubtless will be experiences by many of the numerous and highly respectable individuals whose applications have been un avoidably either greatly reduced, or not complied with, and of the arduous and delicate duty which the Directors have had to perform. Ist. By the recent arrangement with the Hull and Barnsley June- Von Railway Company, the capital of this Company has been re duced, from One Million sterling, in 50,000 Shares, to 630,0001. in 32,500 Shares. 21. By the arrangement with ti.e Huddersfield end Manchester Railway and Canal Company, ont-third of suck reduced capital had to be divided, rateably, amongst the Shareholders hi that Company. 3.1. After awarding an unusually limited number of Shares to each member of the Provisional Committee, and of the Provisional Directors, and making the necessary reserve for landholders and others locally interested, there remained less than 8,000 Shares for distribution by the Directors, whilst the number of Shares applied for considerablyexceeded 300,000. Under the above circumstances and difficulties, the Directors, In distributing the small number of Shares at their disposal. have felt it their duty to give a preference to parties whom they believed most likely to contribute to the traffic of the line. ....... The Directors have the pleasure of announcing that great progress is made in the surveys, &c., and they entertain no doubt that the same, and all other necessary matters, will be completed in sufficient time for the ensuing session of Parliament.

The King's Attorney-General for the arrondissement of Brussels has addressed a circular to the local authorities, directing the organisation of night patrols during the winter. The municipality of Bruges deliberated, in it, sitting of Saturday, ou the means of procuring employment for the poor workmen of the city. It was resolved to undertake the cleansing of the basin. The expense will be 46,000 f., of which the city will pay 20,000 f ; the Government will pay the remainder of the sum. We are assured that the special commission has proposed another plan, the object of which is to procure employment for the weavers. A letter from Posen states that in some districts of that province attacks on property already began to assume an alarming character. It is said that an armed band is organised on the frontiers of Poland, which commits robberies and depredations of every kind. This band has a chief, of whom acts of atrocity, mixed with acts of generosity, are related, which call to mind deeds of the famous bandit Rinaldo Renaldine. This band is said to be composed of unhappy Poles, who are driven to these excesses by the dreadful distress which prevails in Poland. In the month of September, the Rhenish Railway Company conveyed 54,250 travellers, and 243,640 cwt. of goods. The total amounted to 65,752 dollars, which is 1,391 dollars Icss than in September, 1844. The difference arises from a considerable diminution in the quantity of goods. The receipts in the first nine months of 1845 amounted to 449,609 dollars, or 35,400 dollars more than in 1844. The price of corn has risen very considerably at Munich within a few days; potatoes have risen to an exorbitant price. The same is the case with fire-wood and other kinds of fuel, which caused a ge. neral feeling of uneasiness. The Duchess of Sutheil.n4l, and the Ladies Leve son Gower, alter making a brief stay at Trentham, will join the Noble [Mke and the Marquis of Stafford at Dunrobin Castle, front whence they proceed, in company with the latter, to Itoseneath, ot. a visit to the Marquis and Marcbioness of Len. A SCHOOL FOR MAGISTRATES.—Mr. Hardwick, of Marlborough-street, has been the first magistrate with sufficient jus flee arid moral courage on tds side to commit " a gentleman" to the House of Correction, for a brutal assault on a policeman and others-- v,ry much, as it appeared, to the astonislunent of the aforesaid gen tletnan, whom we can now fancy sated on the same ground with vulgar, pelmilesS misdemeanour, manipulating his oakum, hardly yst reconciled to the fact that the force of money has, for once, failer him. We understand that Sir James Graham intends to institute an evening school for magistrates, that they may be the better in structed. 3lrt Hardwick will be appointed schoolmaster. It is tc be hoped that Twyford, Greenwood, and other old boys we conk.: name, will attend regularly, and profit by the lessons of their master. —Par, ell. PAYLIAMENTABY NOTICES.—The large number of Parliamentary notices requiring to be posted up on the church doors throughout the county,. is giving profitable employment to several gentlemen. Such an array of documents and preparation in attach ing them to the doors or the village church on the Sabbath is creating quite a sensation among some or our rural population, whose retired localities have seldom been invaded by those professionals.---ir- Obs,Trer [ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Afrapilatory, or Liquid Hair Dye, the only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dies. Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their esta blishment ; and ladies and gentlemen requiring it are re quested to bring a friend or servant with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted en tirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment having used it, the tifect produced can be at once seen.

It will be recollected that the Chamber adopted an address to his IVIAJEsTr contrary to the wishes of his Ministers. This circumstance gave the Cabinet great annoyance, and a council was held in consequence to consider whether the KING should not at once dissolve the assembly and issue writs for a new election. After mature , deliberation, this proposition was rejected on the ground that in the present excited state of the public mind, such a measure would only increase the irritation. It appears alsothat another symptom of misunderstanding had manifested itself During the discussion on the propriety of drawing up an address, one of the KING'S Ministers declared that certain words used by one of the speakers were revolutionary, and the President, on the subject being referred for bis opinion, said the lan. guage was perfectly in order. The Chamber also requires important reforms in the courts of law, substituting oral for written testimony, a reduction in the standing army, and establishment of a national guard or militia to perform cer tain military duties now entrusted to the regular army.

" God Save the The articles in the Paris papers, with the exception, per haps, of one, possess little interest for the English reader. That one appears in the Journal des Debats, and relates to the waaton, unjust, and wicked attacks made by certain London journals on the character of the French nation, and the pretence set up by (we are glad to say) only one jour nal of respectability for keeping possession of Chusan. The ..rournal des Debats is justly celebrated for the ability of its writing, the calm good sense, and the peaceful impartial tone which pervades its 'columns. A reproach from a paper like this tells, therefore, with great effect, and cannot fail to be felt by every upright English man, the more especially when it is known that there is but too much truth in its sarcastic remarks. We only entreat our Contemporary, and the French in general, not to take sentiments expressed in certain Lon don papers as the sense of the nation, or as an indication that the wished-for peace with our powerful neighbour is at all diminished in the breasts of our countrymen. If the people were polled throughout Great Britain and Ireland, we believe not one in a hundred would he found to concur in the offen • sive remarks which from time to time have been directed against the whole French nation. In ani madverting on the proposition to retain Chusan in violation of • treaties, that journal makes the following remarks :—" The English did not take time to appreciate all its advantages, and, instead of appropriating Chusan to themselves, they took possession of a frightful rock, the den of pirates and smugglers, and caused the island of Hong-Kong to be permanently ceded to them. They have not been able to do anything with this sad conquese, not withstanding all the money they have expended, and Hong- Kong has been a sort of burial-place for the troops and British residents. As to Chusan, it has been occupied by the English, but only provisionally, and it has been stipulated that it shall be restored to China on the day when the last portion of the ransom agreed upon sh a ll be paid. If the English have not been able to habituate themselves to Hong-Kong, they have well accustomed themselves to Chusan. During the three years that they have had for experiencing all the inconveniences of their permanent possession, they have been equally able to appreciate all the advantages of their provisional possession, and the regret that they feel at having established them selves at Hong-Kong, doubles that which they feel at being obliged to quit Chusan. What is worth taking is worth keeping, says a proverb; and the English journals are for keeping what they have got. They are desirous, therefore, of finding a means of retaining Chusan, without having the appearance of violating too openly the faith of treaties. We remember having a month or two ago insinuated, without meaning any harm, that the English would seek for some pretexts to put the Chinese in the wrong, and they would not be sorry to receive some offence, in order to have the right of demanding reparation. This inno• cent assertion caused a certain outcry in the English press, and regret was expressed that a journal, generally so mo derate, should thus take part in the accusation directed against the ambition and . cupidity of England. We were really almost affected at these reproaches, and were be ginning to ask ourselves whether we bad not given way, without wishing it, to some old feeling of jealousy. Un fortunately, however, a light has come from the East. All In a leading article on the potato murrian, published in the letters from India and China call for Chusan, and one our impression of' the 25th instant, we made th e f o ll ow i ng of the members of the Colonial G overnment i s com i ng observations, and we repeat them here, in order to introduce t fo o rt tg a l te ant i l sla to od d . ener k s e trae ng t l h is e k ij o e u ce rn ss a it i i , o a f re re a tati t n l g e e t m his the important announcements, which seem to be justified b .7 . barrassed. How, indeed, is Chusan to be retained in the the universally accredited rumours, of the determination that face of the Pottinger treaty? It has been stipulated to give has been arrived at by the Government, in reference to the it up on receiving the last payment. The time for this is all-important :subjects to which they refer. We wrote approaching rapidly, for it falls on the 31st of December thus :—" The danger of a lack of subsistence for millions which f ki t e te g e resp o t ,li y s tar b a v e I n found two months themselves so island, 0 comfort poorer . 0 ritn -0 f our poorer fellow. countrymen is no longer a able, must be given up, and they must bid adieu to figurative allusion—an imposing figure, to point the its seductive banks.

SIR,—My name having been placed on the Provisional Committee of the New London and Birmingham Railway without my knowledge or consent, I have written to the solicitors, Messrs. Wright and Hanbury, to desire it may be withdrawn; and I shall feel obliged by your inserting this communication in your valuable journal for the purpose of giving a knowledge of these facts to the public. I am Sir, respectfully, your obedient servant, JOSEPH THOMPSON. London and Brighton Railway, London Terminus, Oct. 30, 1845. THE SAVOY CHURCHYARD. TO 7HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—My attention has been called to a letter in your, paper of this morning, signed "D. Cronin, M.D.," reflecting on the state of the Savoy Churchyard. The statements in this letter are in such direct opposition to the truth, that I can only wonder how they could have been admitted into your journal, and still more that you should have confirmed them in a leading article. Dr. Cronin states that " several graves have been opened within the. last month. In one day there were in this small churchyard no less than three open at the same time, the noxious exhalations from which were so overpowering as to produce on myself faint ness, succeeded by violent retching." Now, Sir, that I might keep within the strict limits of truth, I have referred to the register of funerals, and find that during the last two months, from the 31st of August to this day, there has been but cne interment in the chapel ground. During the year 1844 there were 23 interments. In 1843 there were 22. In the present year, up to this day, there have been 15. I have been an inhabitant of the precinct of the Sivoy for twenty.one years, in close proximity to the churchyard, and have never once perceived any of the "noxious exhalations " of which Dr. Cronin com plains, nor have 1 ever heard of any from any other inhabitant. On the contrary, I have often heard csmmendations of the excel lent state in which the churchyard is kept. Trusting to your sense of justice to insert this letter, I remain your obey lent servant, GEORGE JOSIAH PALMER, Savoy, Oct. 30, 1645. Chapel Warden. [lf our Correspondent will take the trouble to reperuse the leading article to which he refers, he will find that we expressly stated that " so far was the Savoy Churchyard from being an un favourable specimen of the burial-gruunds in the metropolis, that we had no hesitation in stating that we knew of no burial.ground which was not more crowded;" and we further added, " the Savoy is, perhaps, the most favourable specimen of a metropolitan burial-ground that the advocates of interment within the pre. cincts of large towns could produce." With regard to the denial of Dr. Cronin's statement as to the overpowering nature of the noxious exhalations, it is not for us to determine as to the relative acuteness of the olfactory organs of our two correspondents.—En.

The Bombay mail of October 1 has been brought overland by Lieutenant Waghorn, by way of the Adriatic, Trieste, and Germany to Ostead ; and we are glad to find that this spirited and enterprising Englishman has thus outstripped the mail which is usually conveyed along the Mediterranean to Marseilles, and thence through France to Boulogne. More than two years ago we recommended the route through Germany, as there could be no doubt whatever that if the lazy German postilions would only get out of ther jog-trot the conveyance might be made more quickly in that way than through France. We have thus two strings t o our bow, and can thereby keep the Post-•office authorities of France in check. The intelligence brought by this mail is favourable, though 'not of great importance. We give the following ex tracts from the correspondence of the Times, with some com mercial intelligence front the Herald : Tranquillity prevailed in India. From Sinde we learn that the arrangements of that pro vince were continuing on the same pacific manner as before. The people were more happy and contented under the British Government than under the Ameers. There was scarcely any sickness amongst the Europeans there, with the xcep tion of amfew at Sukkur. A wing of the Ltd Regiment of the Bengal Europeans had reached Kurrachee with only 13 slight cases, although they had come from Sukkur. Sir Charles N,pier was preparing► to visit the port of Cutch, which is subject to his rule; he was to start from Kurrachee in the month of November. The discussiens between the adherents of Sir Charles and his opponents was still carried on with great acrimony—especially on the side of the latter. General Hunter has nut yet been succeeded by any officer, in the room of the much-regretted General Considine. The affairs at Lahore continued to be as embarrassed as ever. Feature Singh, whose rebellion at Attock had been put down, was coming to the Siekh capital, in order, as it was said, to take the Wuzeership from the Queen's brother' Jowahir Singh, who bad fled, but was afterwards persuaded to return. The ravages of the cholera had ceased at Lahore, but were devastating Peshawur and Caubul. Gholab Singh, who had gone on leave to his mountain fortress at Jamoo, remained there. The Siekh troops were apparently quiet, but as the usual time for disturbances (the Dusserah Festival) had not passed, it was not known whether they would then chinge the Government or not. They are represented to have said, that they should first repulse and beat the Feringhees (foreigners), and then call their own Government to an account. The Governor-General left Calcutta on the 22d of Sep tember for the upper provinces, with an army of 32,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 140 guns, on the confines of the Punjab. Some severe fighting, or perhaps decided negotia tions, were expected. It was not to be permitted that the turbulent Siekh soldiery should keep the frontier in constant dread of an invasion. The period for Sir H. Hardirige's fol lawing the determined policy of all his British predecessors was approaching, and, in all probability, he would have to fight some battles; for he cannot expect to find that the proud Siekhs will submit, unless conquered in the field. The absence of the Governor-General from Calcutta would exceed, as it was said, twenty months. Sir T. H. Maddock is to be Deputy-Governor of Benga: during that absence. _ _ The fall of rain had been unsatisfactory; in parts of the Bengal Presidency too much, and in the greater portions of that of Bombay too little. Fearful consequences were anti- cipated. ' The news from China comes down to the 15th of July, but contains nothing remarkable. The steamers had begun to ply from Bombay to the Indus, and it wasi'txpected that they would soon bring to that Presidency some of the troops which had passed their re quired time the banks of the Indus. Yet expectation was extiteo.23 the progress of events in the north-western province. In a postscript our correspondent states that the people fr.

We ve:_iiifOrmed that the Hyderabad prize money has been trtvWE,o the army. The 12 months' batta already given is, it tilaid, to be deducted from it. If the amount, which has been frequently stated, has not been exaggerated, this deduction will not be more than 10 per cent. cf the whole, so that the army may be well satisfied with the ex change, though there would have been no reluctance felt at receiving both. A correspondent of the United Service Journal noticed a report that Sir Charles Napier had written the strongest recommendation he could pen, not to allow prize money to any but those actually engaged in the battles of Meeanee and Hyderabad. He says that this is directly contrary to the Company's regulations, and quotes the General Orders of March 1823, which state that " All troops employed in the field under the command of a ge neral, though not actually engaged but in reserve, shall be entitled to a share in the prize money." This is no doubt the intention of Government, and in this case there would rot be even a semblance of justice in the exclusion of any part of the forces' employed in favour of those who were'actually engaged, because the prize property was not taken in the field of battle, and we cannot believe that any such recommendation was really given by Sir Chatles Napier. THE BOMBAY MARKET. (From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current) Bosses, Oct. I.—Little change has been exhibited since our last in the state of the market for imparts. The business has been chiefly confined, as before, to cotton manufactures, for most varie. ties of which a steady inquiry has existed, while in metals, woollens, and other articles of less note, the transactions have been consi derable, though prices—particularly those of the former—have in the main been supported. The apprehensions of a defective mon soon seem likely, we regret to say, to be realised, for the fall of rain during the past fortnight has been slight and partial, and at the present period of the season we cannot expect any very abun dant additional supply. The fall will be much below the averi.ge, and this will prove detrimental to the crops on this side of India, and, as a necessary consequence, injurious to the trade in British " goods, is, we fear, beyond question. Metals—The market for metals has displayed but little anima. Lion. The only sale of iron of which we have heard is a re-dia. posal of 950 candies of British bar—purchased some time since— at rs. 29 per candy. In copper we hear of a sale of 80 cwt. Nails at rs. 57, and a small quantity of tile at rs. 53} per cwt. 1,500 cwt. of steel, in tubs, have been disposed of at rs. 101 per cwt. In other descriptions of metals we hear of no transactions. The prices of both iron and copper remain without material alteration, and the firmness evinced by holders in retaining their goods for advanced rates, has generally precluded extensive sales. There is no change to notice in the prices of lead, spelter, and quicksilver—in which nothing, so far as we can learn, has been done—but we quote tin plates one rupee per chest higher than before, the present nominal price, in the absence of transactions, being rs. 17. Cotton Manufactures—The principal transactions since our last have been in grey and bleached shirting', and grey madapollams and domestics. Grey shirtings and madapollams of good quality have been in active request, particularly wide widths, which, owing to their scarcity, have realised an improvement upon former rates. The better qualities of these goods in the bleached state have also enjoyed a fair inquiry, and the sales in them, though somewhat limited in extent, have been at full prices. For grey jacimets of superior quality some demand has existed, and transactions in them at fair prices have had effect; but the lower descriptions are still neglected, and can only be :sold at unreinunerating rates. The same remark will apply to the bleached variety. Narrow widths of domestics, of low anti middling qualities, have been in brisk demand, and in some instances advanced prices have b , en paid for them. Jaconet checks and strips s, satin spots and stripes, and lappets of fine quality, have met with a ready sale at full prices. Fur other descriptions of fancy goods. such as Zebra dresses, harness and bleached mulls, there is at present tio inquiry. Turkey red twilled cloth 9-8 has been much in request. Turkey red jaconets have slightly improved in pace, but other sorts of plain cloth are little inquired for, and prices have somewhat given way. Prints conti nue dull el sale, the demand for them being extremely slack. Yarns—There has been a steady inquiry for grey, and an im provment in price has in some instances been realised. We quote No. 20 mull 1 1, No. 30 and No. 60 of an anna, higher tban be fore. Water has also slightly advanced, and No. 40 may be quoted at an anna dearer. Dyed yarns are without change in price or demand, and we have heard of no transaceion in them. Woo,lern—The market for these is still dull, and the prices un. favourable. blarine Stores—We have heard of no sales in any of the articles embraced under this head. We quote pitch 1 rupee per barrel in advance of last month's rates, and linseed oil is also a shade higher, but In other articles there is no change to notice. Beer--1 he mark •t remains in statu quo. We have heard of no transactions, and there is no. alteration in prices to record. Spirits—The only sale communicated to us is one of 12 hbds, of brandy at re. 3: 2 per gallon. Prices remain stationary. Red and White Lead—These have both improved in value to the extent of about rs 1 per cwt. We hear of a sale of 60 cwt. white, at rs. 16 ; 10 per cwt. Cechineal—The price of this article has also advanced, and rs. 3: 5 : 0 per lb. could be easily obtained for it. We have been ap prised of no actual sale. Bottles—Tl. ese have declined somewhat, and may now be quoted at rs. 1 per (loam for quarts, and 10 to 12 annas per dozen for pints. EASTERN PRODUCE. There has been but little activity in the market for cotton, and though supplies are now arriving freely, the high prices continued to be asked by importers preclude extensive purchases. For some days past there has been literally nothing doing, and the current rates must recede considerably to admit of profitable shipn ents. The prices now demanded are for Broach and Surat rs. $6 to 89, for Dollera rs. 84 to 85, for Oomrawuttee rs. 84 to 86, and for Compta is. 77 per candy. Coffee—Mocha is a trifle dearer than at the date of our last, the present _quotation for it being rs. 8 to 9 per maund. Malabar coffee remains without change. Opium bas declined from ra. 1,500, our last quotation, to rs. 1,475 per chest. - In other articles there is no alteration to notice, save in Meckran wool, which we now quote at rs. 140 per candy. FREIGHTS. Little freight for Great Britain has been available since our last, and the few engagements that have been made have been at the rate of 3/. 12s. 6d. to 3/. 17s. 6d. per ton. 41. Is now asked both to London and Liverpool, but owing to the continued high prices of produce, shipments are limited. Freight to China Is nominal at rs. 16 per candy, nothing having recently been done. MONEY MARKET.

TO THE EDITOR oF THE SUN. Str.,—ln your report of tile trial of Ann Craft, you repre sent the Recorder, in his summing - up to the jury, to have adthessed them in these terms :—" The principal matter for the jury to inquire into would be, whether the articles were taken with a felonious intention, or whether they were not rather abstracted because they were of no use to the janzily." This is a very serious ipse dixit of the Recorder: Is a servant to be at liberty to appropriate to herself with impunity such cloth ing of the master, mistress, or children, that she may deem unfit for further use? I have heard of masters and mis tresses giving worn garments to their servants, but this is the first time I ever heard of servants being allowed to take them without leave or license, and such taking not being deemed thieving. This dictum of the Recorder is a most serious one for families, and it ought to be either satisfactorily supported as a legal decision or it ought to be most clearly repudiated. I am, Sir, yours, &c., A FATHER OF A FAMILY. Ilfracombe, Oct. 29, 1845. • CHAIUNG-C ItOSS-B RID GE. A meeting of the proprietors of the Charing-cross-bridge took place yesterday at the offices of the Company, Villiers street, for the purpose of considering the offer made to the Directors, by Mr. Fuller, of Parliament-street, for the pur chase of the rights and properties of the Company, and for authorising such further proceedings as might be deemed ex pedient. Mr. WM. ILtavita, on taking the chair at one o'clock, called upon the secretary to read the advertisement calling the meeting, upon which Mr. WM. CoPE, of 85, St. Martin's-lane, put in a protest against the sal", leasing, or disposing of the bridge, or the Directors doing any act that tended to cause the dissolu tion of the Company, or deteriorate the value of its property. He was determined to keep the thirty-one shares of which he was possessed for a permanent investment. The protest having been read, The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the meeting, and a ft er recounting the different proceedings that had occurred, and the interview that had taken place between himself, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Jackson, and his solicitor, stated that the drafts of agree ment had been so altered by the solicitor of Mr. Jackson that it was considered necessary that a further adjournment should take place for a week, in order that com munication should be made upon the subject. The clauses to which the greatest objection was entertained were, obliging the Bridge Company to make the bridge a passage for railway carriages, and also to pay interest upon the pur chase-money till the contract was completed. Mr. FEW and Mr. DUKE, the solicitors of Mr. Jackson, addressed the meeting with respect to the first clause that was objected ta. All that was intended by it was that the Bridge Company should afford them all the necessary facilities to enable them to go to Parliament next session for power to enable them to convert the bridge into one fur rail way traffic. the CHAIRMAN said the ?ridge Company were, willing to do that, but they must object to the payment of interest for the purcha,;e-money. Atter some further discussion, the meeting was adjourned to Thursday next, the 6th November, at half-past one o'clock. OPENING OF THE NEW HALL, LINCOLN'S INN. The following is the address of the Treasurer and Masters of the Bench, the Banisters, and Fellows of the Society of Lincoln's Inn : " TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. •` Most Gracious Sovereign, " We, your Majesty's faithiul subjects, the Treasurer and Mos. ters of the Bench, the Barristers and Fellows of the Society of Lincoln's Inn, entreat your Majesty's permission humbly to testify the joy and gratitude inspired by your august presence. " The edifice in which, under such happy auspices, we are for the first time assembled, is adorned with memorials of many ser vants of the Crown, eminet.t for their talents, their learning, and their integrity. To the services, as recorded in history, of these our distinguished predecessors we appeal, in all humility, for our justification is aspiring to receive your Majesty beneath this roof. " Two centuries have nearly passed away since the Inns of Court were so honoured by the presence of the reigning Prince. We cannot, therefore, but feel deeply grateful for a mark so censpi. cuous.of your Majesty's condescension, and of your gracious re gard for the profession of the law. " It is our earnest desire to deserve thi , proof of your Majesty's favour by a zealous execution of the trust reposed in us, to guard and maintain the dignity of the bar of England. ." In our endeavours to this end we shall but follow in the course which it has been your Majesty's royal pleasure to pursue. Sig. nally has your Majesty fostered the independence of the bar, and the purity of the bench, by distributing the honours which you have graciously bestowed on the profession among the members of all parties in the State. " Permit us, also, most Gracious Sovereign, to offer to your Majesty nor sincere congratulations on the great amendments of the law which have been effected since your Majesty's accession to the throne, throughout many portions of your vast empire. " The pure glory of these labours will be dear to your Majesty's royal heart, for it arises from the welfare of your subjects. " That your Majesty may long reign over a loyal, prosper ous, and contented people, is our devout and fervent prayer to Almighty God." HER MAJESTY'S REPLY. " I receive with cordial satisfaction thiti dutiful address. " My beloved Consort and I have accepted with pleasure your invitation ; for I recognise the services rendered to the Crown, at various periods of our history, by distinguished members of this society ; and I gladly testify my respect for the profession of the law, by which . I am aided in administering justice, and in maintaining the prerogatives of the Crown and the rights of ray people. " I congratulate you on the completion of this noble edifice ; it is worthy of the memory of your predecessors and of the station which you occupy in connexion with the bar of England. " I sincerely hope that learning long may flourish, and that •irtue and talent may rise to eminence within those walls." We are requested to state that it was Mr. Bruton, the comic vocalist, and not Mr. Cornish, who attended at the dinner given to Sir W. Molesworth. THE LATE Ma. BOTELER.—Mr. Boteler had been Recorder of Canterbury for the long period of forty-one years. He was also Recorder of Deal, Sandwich, and Hythe ; and only twelve mouths since was appointed to the situation of Bankrupt Comissioner for the Leeds district. He was no less respected by all who came hi contact with him In his judicial capacity as an uptight and lenient judge, than by those who were associated with hits in private life. General sympathy was manifested by the villagers for the untimely fate of the Learned Gentlennun, many of whom even shed tears ; and, if we nay judge from the esteem in which he was held in this city and elsewhere in the county, some substantial mark of respect will be evinced by which his highmindedness as a judge and his virtues as a man may not be forgotten.—Kert is ti.Ubserver. HARVEST IN SOUTH PEUSSIA.—A letter from Posen informs us, that although the favourable prospects of the early part of the year had not been fulfilled, the harvest there may still be considered on the whole as pretty good, there not only being a sufficiency of corn housed for home use, but also a considerable surplus fur exportation. The letter says:—" S, ring corn has not turned out so well as was anticipated, and we shall have only enough for our own wants. The deficiency, however, so far as concerns oats, will In a great measure be replaced by the universally rich hay-crop. Oil seeds have everywhere failed. Of fruit, of all kinds, there is the greatest abundance ; and we have cause to tear the breaking out of cholera or other diseases attendant on over-indul gence in fruit. In the neighbouring •kingdom of Poland, the har vest is likewise about an average one, and, as here, the potato crop is wry satisfactory, although on wet arid heavy soils there has been a partial failure The prices of cereals throughout this part of Prussia are high, though not excessively so."—Augsburg Gazette. Lord Btaxiley arrived in town last evening, from Knows -1 ley Hall. The chief failure in the Stock Exchange mentioned to-day is that of Messrs. Aston and Scott. It is said that one of their provincial connexions was the sole cause of their default. Having always acted melee the impression that the provincial firm repre sented actual principals. they were, it seems, informed only on Wed nesday, that the whole of a very large account, with one exception only, was for the firm itself; and that no money was forthcoming. Their other engagements they stated that they had been prepared to erect, but the total amount was too much. The whole of their liabilities arc understood to be upwards of 40,000/. SYDNEY, .1%.1EW SOUTH WALES, MAY 27.—THE CECILIA.—This vessel arrived yesterday. quite unexpectedly, from Pernambuco, from which place she brings about 300 torts of sugar of very fine quality, consigned to Captain It. Towns. • She has met a succession of contrary winds, and has been off this coast for the last three weeks. Notwithstanding her having to call at South America, where she discharged her London cargo and shipped another for this port, she has quite outsailed the January packet ship, by bringing London papers to the middle ofJanuary.--Auttra4a ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN HOLBORN.--Thursday morning about eight o'clock, the family of Mr. Tate, baker, No. 58, High Holborn, was greatly alarmed by the discovery of their servant, Mary Hugh, forty-five years of age, lying upon the kitchen floor, weltering in her blood, which was still flowing from a wound she had inflicted upon her throat with a table knife, and which extended nearly from ear to ear. Medical aid was promptly in attendance, and she was subsequently conveyed t* King's College Hospital, and the wound was sewn up by Mr. Dyer, the house-surgeon, but the heintirrhage had been se great that she at present lies in a hopeless state. The unfortunate woman, who is a widow, has for some time past been observed to be in a low, desponding state, but the cause was not known. THE LORD MAYOR'S Snow.—The procession in the morning will be unusually gay, as each member of the Court, of the Spectacle-makers' Company (to which the Lord Mayor elect belongs) has contrlbnted a splendid banner. The pageant will pass down Queen-street, along Thames-street, Arthur-street, King William street, Cheapside, and Ludgate-hill, to Itlackfriars-bridge. den A BOY BOOKED Dr A FALL.—On Thursday after noon a serious accident occurred at Hartley's Wharf, Shad Thames, to a lad named John Reeves, aged sixteen years. lie had gone with his master's cart to the wharf to procure a load of bones, and whilst descending from the vehicle hl9 foot slipped, and he fell upon a large hook wit quadruple spikes protruding, one of the points of which entered his back just above his loins. His cries attracted the atten tion of some men at work on the premises, and the poor fellow was extricated from his dreadful position, being literally suspended from the iron by the flesh of his back. He was Conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. _ _ • The following is a literal copy of the address of a letter which passed through the Brighton post-office a few days since:—" toinmos llndupt i Street worthing Just be low the son paid."—Brighton Gazelle. - ACCIDENT DURING A FIT OF EPILEPSY.—On Thursday afternoon an accident occurred at Mr. William's ship building dock, ltermondsey-wall, by which a man, named James Chelsford, aged thirty-seven years, received such severe injuries that his recovery is doubtful. The unfortunate man Is subject to fits of epilepsy. Whilst pursuing his labour at the dock he was suddenly seized whilst walking along the edge of the dry dock, and fell headlong to the bottom. Assistance was speedily at hand, and the poor fellow was extricated in a state of insensibility, and covered with blood, which flowed profusely from his right kg. He was conveyed imme diately to Guy's Hospital, when it was found that his left thigh hail been perforated by a piece of wood or other hard' substance upon which he had fallen to the depth of several inches, The thigh bone I was also severely fractured, besides other internal injuries. IMM ENSE FIRE, MONTREAL.—We have been fa voured with the following extract from a private letter:—" Montreal, Oct. 13, 1845.—We had a. very extensive Yu c here last week, by which about sixty houses, excitsive of other buildings, were destroyed, all owing to a fire catching in a small home where they had been burn ing onfee. It swept away everything off four or live acres, except the chimneys. We have a great mr.ny wooden houAs in the out skirts of the city, and when one takes tire It is almost impossible to atop it.", MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, all to the trade. The market remains quiet, and iswith out any appearance of change whatever. We have had a heavy market for Shares, and flumer prices are barely supported. The scarcity of money is severely felt at present in our market. Almost any feature connected with the affairs of Ireland, and tending to bring the manufactures of that country into favourable notice,_ is much liked in the City. It is a boast, therefore, to-day, among Irishmen con nected with trade, that Ler Majesty yesterday, on the occasion of opening the new building in Lincoln's Inn, had on a splendid dress formed of Limerick lace. We trust that the example of the Queen will be followed in future by all having a love of country, and a &fire to see the manufac tures of Ireland advanced, and the general prosperity of the kingdom promoted. Mr. Waghorn has succeeded in bringing advices from Bombay and. Calcutta within a month. The details of the rscent arrival will be found in another part of The Sun. The merchants connected with the India and China trade are loud in their commendations of the skill and perseverance of Mr. Waghorn. A publie subscription, or a Parliamentary grant, must be granted to an individual who has so successfully established the " great fact" of abndging by one-sixth, or one-eighth, the period required in " olden times" for the transit of a communication between England and India, or Chins, and vice versa. The Funds opened heavily, but they have since rallied. Consols for Account have since risen to 97k, and for Money from 96 ,7 % to 978. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has scarcely been 'so firm as yesterday. Bank Stock has fluc tuated from 205% to 206%. The Foreign Funds are heavy only in a few instances. Brazil Stock has declined to 82, but Danish has advanced to 87, Peruvian from 34 to 35 1 /. and the Dutch Four per Conts. to 93. In the Share Market two or three more failures are con sidered as more than probable. The' settlements still may be said to proceed satisfactorily. The corrected list of prices will show the different variations. In Mark-lane to-day business is all but suspended, and all parties are anxious to hear what will be the altered duties upon the admission of foreign grain for home consumption. • olcS, • CLOSING erticEs OF BP:ITISR FUNDS.
