The main line of Railway proposed by this Company will hare its terminus or departure at or near Wellington, in the county of Salop, uniting there with the contemplated Birmingham and Shrewsbury line, and passing by or near Hadley, Trench-lane, Donnington, and Lslleshall, to the town of Newport, proceed from thence to, and have its terminus of arrival at, Stafford, where it will unite with the Grand Junction and the Trent Valley Lines, and effect a junction, by railway, between the important counties of Salop and Stafford: and by a branch of about six miles, from Newport to the town of Shiffnal, afford great facilities of inter-communication with Broody, Madeley, and Coalbrooke Dale, thus bringing these important mineral districts into immediate connexion with the Staffordshire Potteries, and the several districts named, with the north and east of England. The country traversed is peculiarly favourable to the formation of a line of railway, presenting a nearly continuous level between the termini, thus affording facilities which will render the construclice of the Werlr Irt..e,r...mi-erav The districts embraced by the undertaking are highly populous, and have a very considerable local traffic, and the portion of the line from Wellington to Newport will pass through arich mineral country forming part of the Great Shropshire coal and iron district, thereby augmenting the general traffic of the line which will constitute, by its junction with the Trent Valley and the Grand Junction Railways, the highway from the north and north-eastern parts of England to Shropshire and the Welsh coast, and yield a highly remunerative return on the comparatively small capital required to be embarked. The Grand Junction Company deposited plans for a line having many features in common with the one now proposed, as a portion of a Shrewsbury and Stafford Railway, with the intention of obtain ing an Act, in the present Session, to authorise its construction, which they abandoned in consequence of the Board of Trade having re ported in favour of Birmingham as a terminus for a Shrewsbury lino. The present line Is now brought under public consideration as one . demanded for the promotion of the interests of the localities with which it is immediately connected, under a conviction that, based upon an independent Company, a desideratum which appe rs to have here been required by the Board of Trade ; It will be employed as an encouragement to a legitimate development of the traffic of the districts it will embrace, and not be merely used by existing lines as a protection against competition—will form an im portant link in the general chain of railway communication — will be highly beneficial to the public at large, and will present an in vestment for capital of more than ordinary excellence. The capital intended to be raised is 3.50,0001., divided into 7,000 shares of 501. each. 1 deposit of 21. 15s. per share will be required to be paid upon allotment to the credit of the Directors la account with .the Bankers of the Company, and no call will be made until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained authorising the construction of the work. The liability of the subscribers will be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on the amount of the deposit and upon the further calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract will be required to be duly executed when tho bankers' receipts are ex changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given, and the deposits paid by persons making default in the due execution of the Subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract within the time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited. A preference will be given in the allotment of the Shares to par ties locally interested in the line ; and no Shares will be appropriated except to persons whe shall give satisfactory reference. Application for Shares must be made in the form appended hereto, to the Offices of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street ; to the Solicitors ; add the following brokers :—Messrs.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning •• 31 minutes after 3 I Evening •• 47 minutes after 3, (IT tritains - - LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1845. The Royal Assent was given by commission to seveial Bills shortly after Four o'clock. Their Lordships re-assembled at Five. Several petitions were presented, amongst others a petition by Lord BROUGHAM, from an individual named SOWERBY, against the Syston and Peterborough Rail. way Bill, The presentation of this petition gave rise to HE SUN, LONDON, FrtlD.A.V# a desultory conversation on the general subject of rail ways which, however, led to no results. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage. After which their Lordships adjourned to Friday next, the 16th instant, for the Witsuntide recess. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. PARKER brought up the report of the Scottish _Railway Committee—that the House ought not to con sent to the establishment of a railway station upon the Inch of Perth. Sir. G. GREY moved for a Select Committee to inquire and report whether any, and which of the standing orders wl.ich are enforced in the case of Railway Bills in Great Britain are utnecessary, and ought to be dis • pensed with in the case of Railway Bills in Ireland. After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY then moved the addition of what he had previously given notice, but as it was not seconded, the motion was not put. _ _ Mr. HUME gave notice of a call of the House for Thursday, the 22d inst. Sir C. NAPIER expressed his regret for having spoken so strongly of the conduct of Lord SEATON with regard to the Bandeiras. He had since received information from Corfu which satisfied him that Lord SEATON had exercised a proper discretion. Mr. GISBORNE gate notice that he would on an early day move that all Railway Committees consisting of only four Members should suspend their operations until the call of the House. Sir T. FREMANTLE, in answer to Colonel RAWDON, said that a Bill in relation to the regulation of criminal lunatics in Ireland would be brought in after the recess, Mr. Hurr then moved " That the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of considering the following resolution:—That it is expedient to permit Grain and Flour, the produce of Australasia, to be imported into the United Kingdom on payment of the same amount of duty as is now levied on Grain and Flour the produce of Canada." Sir WALTER JAMES supported the motion, which was opposed by Sir G. CLERK on the part of the Govern ment, on the ground that it was unwise to be constantly tampering with the corn-laws. • A discussion followed, in the course of which the House was addressed by Sir G. CLERIC, Mr. LAME CHERE, Captain Rous, Mr. M. GIBSON, Mr. DARBY, Mr. F. BARING, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. S. O'BRIEN, Mr. WARD, Sir R. PEEL, Lord HOwICK, and Mr. NEWDEGATE ; and eventually the motion was re jected, the numbers being, for the motion 93 ; against it 147 ; majority, 54. The debate which took place last evening on Mr. HUTT'S motion is the most curious, perhaps, on record. We believe " Hansard's Reports," which give so mi nutely the speeches and acts of the "collective wisdom," contain no absurdities at all approaching those which were brought forward as arguments against a mea sure so just to our colonies, and so utterly harmless to the agricultural interests of this coun try. The resolution was simply to the effect, that Australian corn and flour should be admitted on the same terms as corn and flour, the produce of Canada. It would be impossible to make any motion in the How e so little calculated to excite discussion, yet the Government, from some perverse disposition to halt half way in measures for the good of the country, opposed it almost with as much apparent sincerity as they will oppose the motion for a total repeal of the corn-laws. From Canada grain can be imported in three weeks at a very trifling cost, and though it may be called the produce of that colony, probably a large proportion of it is smuggled from the United States, a circumstance which every one foresaw when Lord STANLEY introduced his Canada Corn Bill. But no illicit traffic of that kind can take place in Aus tralia. The colony is entirely English, it has no power ful, rich adjacent territory from which grain can be imported ; and, what is of much more importance, the distance between that settlement and the mother country is such that possibly no trade in corn, if per fectly free, could be carried on without loss. The Vice- President of the Board of Trade seemed to take that view of the question. Of what, then, was he afraid ? Why did he oppose such a very meek and gentle resolution ? Because, "if they were to accede to the proposed alterations, a great deal of alarm would be created among the agriculturists of this country." Why, the farmers' friends them selves are the most determined calumniators of that class—they seem to regard them as only part of the live stock on the farm, and as destitute of reason or any faculty approaching to that of calculation as the calves and bullocks that graze on their meadows. They dare not tell the farmers the truth, because these gentlemen will not, or cannot, understand it, and have such a horror of foreign corn, that they will not admit it, even though brought from the most distant part of the habitable world. The Australian colonies are on the opposite side of the globe—the farmers there and the farmers here are standing with their feet exactly opposite to each other, and it would require four, or five, or six months to transport a cargo of grain from these colonies to the port of London, yet not a move must be made in thec..e.ox.-Lem. - case a panic at Mark-lane, and wheat would fall perhaps ss. the quarter. The arguments of Sir ROBERT PEEL were of a similar stamp ; and we regret the fact the more, as the public really cannot judge when a Minister is in earnest and in jest, and will give less weight to other opinions, which possibly may be of the first importance to the safety of the country. " Such conduct," said Lord HOWICR, " was the more to be denounced, when it was remembered that it would induce Canada to believe that she was indebted nothing to Eng land for the concessions which had been made to her, and probably.induce other colonies to follow her example, o demanding instead of entreating concessions from the English Government." We have accounts from Madrid to the Ist of May, but they are without interest, that being the Feast of the Ascension. The Cortes did not meet, and the Bourse was closed. The tedious discussion in the French Chamber of De puties on the fortifications of Paris has at length been enlivened by a violent speech from M. DE LANAHTINE. It was directed not so much against the Ministerial mea sure as against the dynasty of Louis PHILIPPE, and more especially the KING himself. This eloquent orator, in a flow of eloquence which occasionally carried him beyond the bounds of prudence and moderation, and excited loud marks of approbation from the Left, and disapprobation from the Centre, stated that the sole object of the forts was to prevent revolutions like those in 1789 and 1830, and that they were the crowning work of a system of policy directed against liberty. The speaker, of course, was repeatedly called to order, but, nevertheless, he contrived to present to the Chamber a strong outline of grievances entailed on France by the Revolution of July. The following brief sketch of his speech will therefore be found interesting. After premising that he should consider the question chiefly in a political view, he suid " Any war which re ight hereafter occur would be one of coalition ; the field of battle would be Europe, with 35,000,000 men on one side, and 250,000,000 on the other—in other words, one Frenchman against two or three adversaries. tinder such circumstances their walls and their fortresses would be not only an insignificant defence, but they would tend to weaken them; this had been admitted by men much more capable than he of forming a judgment. Paris fortified would retain in the centre of France 50,000 or 60,000 men, and how many important battles had been lost for want of such a reinforcement. In case of a reverse nothing could be more fatal than having such a large body of men shut up in Paris, for the enemy might easily cut off the communications between the remnants of their armies and the capital. Capitals were best defended on the frontiers, at a hundred leagues distant. In support of his argument he would mention the case of Rome, Constantinople, and China, all of which had fallen into the power of their invaders from the fault of shutting their forces within the walls of their capitals instead of defending them on their reapective frontiers. It was curious to trace the pro gress of the scheme for fortifying Paris. At first 18,000,000 f. had been demanded, but this demand rose afterwards to 80,000,0001'., to provide Paris with 3,000 pieces of cannon Thus the revolution of July. The moment that the Prince, for whom so much enthusiasm had been evinced ascended the throne, a constant struggle had ensued between the regal power and the national representation. There was then in the Chamber a man enjoying the respect of all,—Lafayette, who held the command of the National Guards of the kingdom. The royal power yielding to the tendency of all power to encroach, got alarmed at the immense authority thus placed in one ma n ' s hands. It acted so that the National Guards became nothing more than a municipal institution, incapable of doing harm. —(uproar.) Lafayette resigned, in consequence, his com mand, and, in a fortnight after, Lafitte, whom they had s i nce lost , and the men who shared his opinions, were excluded from power. Soon after, the right of association was proceeded against, and received a heavy blow. Then came the attempt of Fieschi, and severe laws were voted against the press, and new judges were created for new crimes. He accused no one of bad faith, but he must charge every one of a blind tendency to strengthen the royal power, at the expense of the rest, by a violent reaction. It was then that the idea of raising forti fications around Paris was first rumoured abroad. The proposition of the detached forts produced the riots at Lyons, and it was perceived that, in order to obtain the fortifications, they must be demanded by the country itself. In 1839 a coalition was formed to put down what was called the personal power. That power (he named no one, but he looked at it in an absolute point of view), being twice worsted in the Chamber, felt a warm resentment. It could have chosen its Minis ters from the Left, where M. 0. Barrot sat, or in the Right Centre, but it preferred men of another party, the Left Centre. Perfect harmony was then re-established between the Minis try and the Chamber, but a cry of war arose about the East. At the moment when France gave Europe a pledge of perfect immovability, by recalling her fleet, the idea of the fortifica tions rose like a phantasmagoria from the tumult, and was pre -Brucuncientedthci pe u nar nd s aia e y r w t w h hh e ere p et r ht e t t r e e, xt of defending Fiance against foreign aggression.

A_year had scarcely glided by, after the periodjust alluded to, When the fortifi cations were voted—those fertifications whiclfbrOke'the equi librium between the Parliamentary power and the Royal one Since that vote, had the Government drawn closer to the nation ? Had it done more for the people? On the coni trary, they had seen, when they lost that much-re gretted Prince whose place was nearest the throne, a Regency Bill introduced, which tended to dispossess the nation of all its right of sovereiggnr►ty. ! (Here he was called to order by the President, and then proceedeed as follows):—He should not any longer pursue a discussion which appeared to excite the Chamber against him; he should merely add one observation. If the fortifications of Paris were armed, it was impossible not to measure with an uneasy eye what would, after a time, be come of the conaitutional edifice for which France had fought during fifty years. Let the Chamber bear in mind the vast prerogatives of that power Which perished not—the appoint ment to all civil offices, thenomination to all grades in the army.—(Noise ; cries of ' Order, order.') All the relations with foreign powers confided to an irresponsible power; that civil list—(A violent burst of exclamation)—he did not speak of the civil list in the ordinary acceptation of the term—he alluded to that civil list of influence, which placed royalty in possession of 300,000 employments. Look, too, at the power possessed by the Crown to create Peers—to change the majority, if it pleased. The fortifications, would, it was alleged, prevent revolutions. Did the Chamber know that in that de claration was contained a condemnation of those of 1789 and 1830, which were looked on as holy. He had shown the struggle that was going on ; and it was now for the Cham ber to decide if it would throw fresh weight in the balance of the Government against public liberty. He maintained that the immediate arming of the fortifications of Paris would constitute an eternal accusation in iron and bronze against the Government, and would remain a cause of per manent agitation, which he was decidedly opposed to. Ile therefore called on the Chamber to reject the Bill.—(Great agitation followed these remarks, and the sitting remained suspended for some minutes.)" M. DUCHATEL replied to this cutting satire on the July Revolution, and defended "the policy of his MA JETv's Government. After some brief remarks from M. GEORGES LAFFITTE and M. GARNMR PAGES, the Chamber adjourned. Next day (Wednesday) the dis cussion on the clauses commenced, the first of which proposed a grant of 14,000,000 f. This was opposed by General SUBERVIE and M.

THE CONDEMNED SERMON. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Wednesday, in answer to a question from Captain Polhill, in respect to condemned sermons, Sir James Graham observed that " communications had taken place between his predecessor, Lord Normanby, and the 4 Corporation of London ; and that, in consequence, the Corporation had made a regulation prohibiting the ad mission of the public to hear the condemned sermons on the Sunday previous to an execution." He also added, " that he (Sir James Graham) had ordered a prison in spector to proceed to Newgate to inquire into the cir cumstances connected 'with the last execution, and to examine the transactions both of the Sunday and the Monday morning." Alderman Copeland, after ex pressing his satisfaction at such a proceeding, observed that " he thought the time had arrived when these public exhibitions should be dispensed with altogether : after the execution, he, in his capacity of magistrate, had committed many persons for trial, and had con victed three for picking pockets even under the gallows." There are many who defend the pu nishment of death for the sake of the bene ficial example it affords ; but surely their opinion would be changed if they but regarded the police re ports after an execution—if they witnessed the feverish excitement such an event creates among the lower or ders—if they beheld the eager multitudes waiting for the verdict, or crowding to the chapel, not to hear the ser mon, but to see the prisoner—above all, if they knew the horrors of the scene of death. Can there be a more awful spectacle, than a public execution ? " It is a fearful thing To see the human soul take wing In any shape—in any mood"— but at such a time death is robed in all his terrors; pain and sickness have not prepared the way to the grave ; faith and piety have not opened the path to Heaven; and he,.the least *pared to die, is "cut off in the very blossom of his sins," and hurried from an earthly tribunal to appear before a Judge " who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity.".. But if it be l ,,id of eternity, is it to behold thesitmeesokthpx- spectators P Do we find them sorrowing tor a brother's fall 2—do we hear the voice of pity or compassion ? No ; they crowd round the scaffold to behold the show—brutal ferocity depicted on their countenances —their only feeling for the prisoner, admiration for his firmness, or contempt for his pusilanimity—some even engaged in breaking the commandments beneath the very gallows on which a fellow creature expiates his crime. Children are there, aand even women look on rise thesc d e in scene with parents ' curiosity a , r a m and ; not emotion. Truly it may be said that— . ,g Every woe a tear may claim, Except an erring brother's shame." A public execution is the most demoralising spectacle any age or country can produce. Instead of warning b y example, it offers a premium to crime ; it holds up a man stained with another's blood as a theme for interest--an object for wonder and notoriety. In this "age of intelligence" we look with horror at the com bats with wild animals, which amused the ancients ; but even the fights of the gladiators were less terrible in their consequences than the gloomy scenes which are constantly recurring in this civilised country, in the nineteenth century. Sir James Graham expressed his opinion that such proceedings require investigation: we trust he will find on considering the matter, that if capital punishments are absolutely necessary, they shall no longer afford gratification to the morbid tastes of ignorant multitudes, or debase humanity, by rendering crime an object of admiration and not of horror. AMERICAN NEWS. (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The steamer Great Western, Captain Mathews, arrived here last night, at ten o'clock. She left New York on the 24th ultimo, and has brought 142 passengers. She arrived at New York, on her outward voyage, on the 16th. The Cale donian reached Boston on the 21st, at night ; her news were published at new York on the 23d; but as the Great Western sailed on the 24th, there was not time to learn its full effect, but] we think upon the whole that the tone is decidedly pacific. The New Fork Courier and Inquirer, In its Money Article for the steamer, gives the following view of the effect pro duced on the public mind by the declaration referred to, and also a concise and accurate outline of other points of im portance :- " The news by the Caledonia has called forth no little interest. The discussion in the two Houses of Parliament, and the very re solute tone of that discussion, in respect both of the British right and of determination to maintain that right, are widely and visa. ously canvassed. -For our s e l vca i - ve look upon it as rather fortu nate, since in all c on t es t e d ques ti ons it is best that both parties should understand pith other as early and as expl i c itl y as possible. On our side the right to all Oregon is officially pronounced un•• questionable ; yet we submit it to- negotiation, thereby implying certainly that what is unquestionable may nevertheless be a sub ject of compromise. Perhaps the opinion has prevailed too gene. rally here, that England did not really attach any great value to her Oregon. claim, and upon such an assumption ours has been pushed with increased hardihood. We are now undeceived on that Point. The Ministry that is, and those who would like to be Ministers, and the whole Parliament, seemed.tu have shared exult ingly in the declaration of the official persons in both Houses, that England has a good title and means to maintain it. Now, then, the ground is cleared of all uncertainties, and the negotiation will of necessity proceed under the positive and equally confident claim of each of the contending partial to a good title to the matter in dispute. Such a negotiation, to succeed at all, can have but one Issue—mutual concession ; an d on that point there cannot be long delay in ascertainin g w h at can an d w h a t cannot be done. "The temper o f t hi s countr y, as a whole, is for peace; though there are p or ti ons o f i t, an d particularl! the west, where war might be profitable and would not be unpopular. We as sume unhesitatingly that the desire of England is also for peace; and from these premises we conclude that peace will be preserved; for it Is contrary to all sense and reason—to say nothing of moral or religious obligations—for two cognate and Christian people to go to war about a barren region which can be of little use or value to either of them for generations ,to come. Nevertheless, the effect of the Caledonia's news to-day was, to make men look grave, and though no perceptible fall was occasioned by it is the produce or public stocks, it caused a pause: " The late intelligence from Mexico and Texas also occupies much of public attention. The possibility that Mexico might at once resent annexation by hostilities has passed away, and the worst now apprehended is a commercial and diplomatic non-in tercourse. Texas, however, seems uncertain about her course; and annexation is not as eagerly jumped at as seems by Its zealous friends here to have been anticipated. The delay or reluctance of Texas is put down to the interference of England and France, and therefore some feeling is exhibited. If From these combined causes there is uncertainty and sensi tiveness in the public mind, and therefore business necessarily suffers, " Money is easily had at 6 p e r cent., and as soma as the banks have made their quarterly stat em ent will be cheapen • • " The movements of specie are inconsiderable and unimportant, the tendency being rather to than from this market. "Exchange on England has been active for the Western at from 91 to 91, and for France as per quotations below. 6 " No certainty can yet be attained respecting the payment by Pennsylvania of the August dividend. We believe the desire and purpose of those now in charge of the Government of that state are to meet its liabilities when and as they accrue, if possible; but It must be added, upon the best information we can obtain, that the collection from taxes have not come up to the estimates, and there. fofe that more doubt is 'entertained whether the full amount of the 'August dividend cnn Ise paid ; but it will be paid rateably to the whole extent of funds in hands, and thus the disposition to do right will be kept up and evinced. "The very disastrous fire at Pittsburgh may not be without disadvantageous effect upon a portion of tax-payers, generally amongst the most punctual. "The Stock market was heavy this morning." The Money Article of the Express says : " The excitement that existed yesterday and the day before, occasioned by the debates in Parliament on the Oregon question, Is subsiding, and things are becoming more calm and settled. "The Great Western leaves this afternoon for England. The news she is to take out is of much importance in the present un. certainty of political affairs; but among mercantile men there is nothing ♦ery alarming as yet. Although the remarks of the Bri. tish Minister in Parliament on the Oregon question have excited considerable feeling and a good deal of remark, yet they have pro duced no perceptible influence upon the stock market. The south, it is well known, in this country, will not be driven into a war for the possession of Oregon, unless England acts unjustly or rashly ; and the south, in the present position of parties here, holds on that question the balance of power. Mr. Calhoun's views, given in this paper to-day, are the tem of southern statesmen generally. The Radical presses make a great deal of noise, particularly such as are in the hands of former British subjects, but they do not represent the feeling in the United States on this or any other question. It would be, however, improper not to add here the conviction Is universal that the territory is ours, as we claim it, and that It should not be given up. " The news from Texas In substance is, that while the people of Texas wish to come into the Union, the Administrators of the Texas Government (12 not. A great deal is thus to be done before Texas can be made one of the United States. Meanwhile, public attention in the United States, particularly In the southern part, is much directed towards California, of which, It is probable, that one of these days the United States Government will become pos. leased. The Southern States of the Union are bent upon enlarg. ing the slave-holding territory , and so fir does one of the leading presses in Orleans go (the Bulletin) as to say that in case' British intrigue' causes Texas to reject annexation— "' In that event there is but one step which our Government can with propriety pursue—that is, to solve the difficulty, as Mr. Madison solved a similar one in 1840, by taking possession, with a military force, of the country which is the subject of the intrigues. The seizure and occupation of Mobile and Baton Rouge furnish at once an example and a precedent for the present Administration should there seem to be good reason to apprehend that the offi ciousness of Great Britain is operating to the prejudice of the United States. " ?here is now no serious apprehension hi this country of a war with Mexico, but the public mind is far front being easy on that subject." Some apprehensions were felt, it appears, lest difficulties should ensue with Brazil relative to the seizure at Rio, by the United States Minister, Dia vessel supposed to be engaged ip, the slave trade. Nilitary movements towards the Texian frontiers are no ticed. • . The following appointments by the President are officially announced :—Hon. W. H. Stiles, of Georgia, to be Chargé d'Affaires to the:Court of Austria; Hon. A. Davezac to be Chargé d'Affaires to the Hague. The Toronto papers give full details of a fire in London, Canada west, the most destructive and terrible ever known in Canada, which impoverished and ruined hundreds of peo ple ; at least 150 families were rendered houseless. The en tire loss was estimated at 200,000 dolls. The accounts from Mexico and Texas are very contradic tory. The intelligence from the former country is to the effect that General Almonte's communication of the passage of the measure of annexation produced very considerable ex citement in the capital. On the 22d of March, Senor Cuevas, the Minister of Foreign Relations, addressed a circular to the governors of the different departments, in which he appeals to the patriotism of the authorities of .the departments and ail their citizens, to forget all divisions, and to stand by the 'President, and co-operate with him in defence of the rights and the honour of the nation. Upon the reception of official notification ; a very stormy session was held in the House of Deputies, duridg which Senor Cuevas submitted the follow ing decree, prefacing it with the remark that the Govern ment felt strong enough for the emergency, without the grant of additional powers. and he trusted that instead of a grievous calamity, annexation might really prove a blessing to Mexico, by uniting all her people in a determined effort to maintain their rights and preserve the integrity of the territory of the Republic. The Presidents of the - two Cham bers responded in much the same strain : " Ist. Inasmuch as the United States of North America, by the annexation of Texas to their territory, have openly violated their friendship with this nation, it is hereby declared, that from the passage of this law, the treaties of friendship, commerce, and na. vigetion concluded between the said peoples in 1831, and mutually accepted and ratified in January of 1832, are at an end. " 2d. In consequence whereof, from the public ition of this law, the terms of six months and of one year, for various purposes agreed upon in said treaties, shall begin to be completed. " 3d. The Government orders the closing of all ports to the commerce of the United States, and forbids the use of their manu. factures. " 4th. No proposition relative to the restoration of friendship will be listened to horn the United States, except upon the basis of the relinquishment of the plan of the annexation of Texas." The Chamber immediately went into secret session for the purpose of discussing the above decree. El Sieglo (of Mexico) of the 19th ult., contains a letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Cuevas) to Mr. Shan non, United States Jllinister at Mexico, informing him that the Goveenment was in possession of the knowledge of the passage of the annexation resolutions, and that diplomatic relations between the two countries were suspended on that ReitWeSaine day a note was addressed by th. Cabinet to the Ministers of Spain, France, and England, pro testing against the proceedings of the United States in rela tion to Texas. The Texian advices, which reach to the 9th ult., are still of the same doubtful character, and give us no clue by which to judge of the wishes of the Texians relative to annexation. The rumoured guarantee of her independence, and conditiun ally, that that scheme be abandoned, is repeated. The British sloop of war Electra, Captain Elliott, arrived at Galveston on the 24th of March from Jamaica, with dis patches for the English and French Ministers in Texas. The nature of these dispatches was not known, but Capt. Elliot, in company with the French Minister, had left for the Texian The Galveston Civilian, of the 2d ult., announces the re turn, on the 31st, of the French and British Ministers from the seat of government. The same paper of the sth says, ".The British ship Eury dice, Captain Elliot, arrived off this port on Thursday from Vera Cruz. By this arrival both the Ministers of Great Bri tain and France in Texas have received dispatches." The papers are full of articles relating to annexation. The discussion appears to be carried on with much warmth, the tone of the National Register and Galveston Civilian being decidedly hostile to annexation on the terms pro posed by the joint resolutions, while the Ilouston Telegraph and Galveston Newt strongly advocate anexation on those terms. While the President and General Houston, accord ing to the accounts, are enemies of annexation, the Vice- President had presided at a meeting in its favour. The most important information is the following, given by the Picayune, on the authority of private letters of later dates : " President Jones had returned to Washington, and the United States Minister, Major Donelson, had been treated so cavalierly by him and his Cabinet that Invoke of withdraw. ing from the seat of Government to Galveston." L►TE ►ND IMPORTANT FROM IYIERICO.—By the arrival last night of the steam-ship Alabama from Savannah, bringing papers to the 9th inst., we have later news from the City of Mexico. On the 29th ult., our Minister in Mexico was informed that the diplo. matic relations between the two countries had ceased. The trial of Santa Anus was in progress. The robberies between Vera Crux and Mexico were as rife as ever. It now appears that Mexico is willing to recognise the independence of Texas, provided the latter will decline annexation to the United States.—Nete York Tribune, April 23.

There has been an arrival from Rio de Janeiro with intel • ligence of the 22d March. The entire province . of Rio Grande had been brought into a state of tranquillity, and the Government was highly elated at the result. The rx change on London was 24 3 / 4 , and the price of the Stock was 77 to 78. Busineis was dull. The accounts by the Great Western are so fully given in another column that we need only remark that generally speaking the comments of the American press are regarded as temperate, and that the subject of the Oregon territory has evidently been made more of here than Brother Jona than anticipated. Many think that the firmness of Sir Robert Peel will hasten a favourable denouement, while others imagine that lie has been precipitate. Few, but mere stock speculators, profess however to be seriously inquieted as to the result, although it must be conceded that a few years hence a trifling matter has often lighted up the flame of " horrid war." In the New York market money was expected to become easier, but the:dreadful fire at Pittsburgh would prove a sad blow to Pennsylvania, and perhaps retard the payment of the dividends. Accounts from Prague describe the effects of the inunda tions in Germany as being extremely lamentable, and such as it will require the lapse of many years to repair. The public securities have rallied full 1 % per cent, and the American intelligence quite disappoints the Bears. Consols for immediate transfer have been 98% to 4, and for time 98% to 99. The market is, unquestiOnably, rather weak ; but our Contemporary the Times seems a little disposed to "kick the beam." The least that could be done, as the Bulls con sider, is to let things quietly find their level, and not precipls tately to hurry on a re-action. The premium on Exchequer bills has been 545. to 56s ; the New Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents. are 100% to 100%; and the Three per Cents. 97% 97 1 ,4 ; Bank Stock is 209 to 209% • and India Stock, 276. There has been rather a lively market for the foreign investments, which generally support better prices. Spanish Five per Cents. have been done at 30%, and the Three per Cents. at 41% %; Portuguese Converted Bonds are 66 1 ,E 3 4 Mexican are unsteady, having fluctuated from 36 1 ,4 to 37. Except in a few instances, Railway Shares exhibit a wan of buoyancy, the foreign lines being weakest. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. CLOSING PRICES Bank Stock 209 3 per Cent.
