EIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. itorming .. 1 minutes after 9 I Evening .. 35 minutes after 9. 01M,* F,ONDON, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 24 1845. Like all our Contemporaries, we are most anxious that the serious misunderstanding which exists between Great Bri tain and the United States should be amicably settled, and that two nations, so necessary to each other for mutual pros perity, should eentinue long in uninterrupted peace. But we fear these peaceful aspirations are vain, and that the encroaching and restless and unprincipled portion of the American Republic will urge their country into a war, and be satisfied with nothing but full scope and power to invade and seize on every district of the New World that captivates their fancy, till in time they bring the whole under the dominion of the Great Fe deral Union. For some time certain members of Congress, as well as writers in anti-English journals, have made strong protests against the interference of European powers in the affairs of the southern parts of America, as well as the northern, and seem to regard as their undoubted birth-right the privilege of affixing their sanction to every treaty or change of any kind whatever in these extensive regions. Even Canada, a colony essentially British, and we believe now fully attached to the mother country, they claim as their own, and at one time, a time of peace too, it was se riously proposed in Congress to adopt measures for incorpo rating that extensive country in the already over-grown republic. It causes, therefore, little surprise to hear that the Government will not agree to the occupation by the English of one rod of the Oregon, and that it is their full determination to drive the English from the Columbia, shut them entirely out from the Pacific, and unite the Rus sian and American frontiers. But that 1:3 only the first and minor step. Schemes of infinitely more importance are passed in view—a powerful State is to be established in the west, intercourse with China and the numerous islands in the China seas is to be farmed. on.a grand scale, the English trade with India and China is to be crippled or annihilated, and Oregon is destined to control the commerce of the Pacfic and the Oriental trade of the world. These are not the visions of men in the " far-'rest;" they are not the crude suggestions of members representing the States of Missouri, or Illinois, or Arkansas, but they are the deliberate opinions put forth by the organ of Mr. Poree. We never imagined for a moment, in discussing this question on previous occasions. that the Americans cared one straw for the portion of the Oregan territory belonging of undoubted right to the English, on the ground of its intrinsic value, but constantly kept in view that they had projects of a far different kind than the acquirement of a barren tract, and the'occupation of one Solitary river, the Columbia; that their object was to expel the English from the west of the Great American Continent, and prevent every communication between the Hudson Bay Company, or any other company, sad China and India. We judged, from their encroaching disposition, and their vast anxiety to get Oregon into their j possession, we judged that they would not risk a war for barren rocks, and swamps, and snowy mountains, and 1 that they would not be at the expense of esta blishing military stations across the mountains, and maintaining a military force in such an inhospi table climate, merely for the right of collecting furs, and using the mouth of the Co'umbia as a harbour for their exportation. That our readers may judge of their in tentions., eve give the following significant extract on the subject from the official journal of Washington :—"We cannot doubt thatthe Administration is fully prepared to perform with firMR"S$ its constitutional duty, of recommending to Congress all such measures as may be deemed essential to the full and efficient protection of all our rights over every rod of that great domain on the shores of the Pacific, which is, by an accumulated mars of title, the rightful property of the United States. Of these measures —and, indeed, of this whole topic of the American territory of Oregon —we shall have fre quent occasion to speak. And it may be well enough to consider foe' a moment, in the outset, the nature and the value of this our great territorial possession. This ter riory lying between the Rocky Ufluntains and the Pa cific Ocean—drained mainly by the Columbia river , bounded on the north, the east, and the south by the moun- 1 tain chains, and on the west by the ocean —extends front latitude. 42 deg. to latitude 54 deg. 40 min. north. It e,o t ee tains more than 400,000 square miles—that is, it is m ore than twice as large as France, and about half as large a s all the States now subject to the Federal constitution. The American people claim, against all other nations, this whale domain as a part of their own soil. The cli. mate, throughout nearly its whole extent, is mild and tern.. perate. Accounts vary somewhat as to its fertility and its natural advantages; but no man doubts that it is capable of sustaining an immense population ; nor that, when so peopled, it will control the commerce of the Pacific, and the Ori ental trade of the world." Let those who argue on the folly of going to war about a bare rock study the Oregon question in this light—in the very light in which it was viewed by Jacecsoet and TYLER, and is now viewed by the President of the United States, and say whether these are ob .] ects: worth contending for. Whether the ob ject was great or small, whether the Oregon was worth s omet hi ng or nothing, the English Go vernment from the beginning had but one duty to perform —to maintain the rights of Great Britain at all hazards. Pusillanimous concessions only lead to fresh demands, with increased insolence; the consciousness of independence gives vigour to man in his individual capacity as we ll as to large numbers formed into communities; and all hist or y concurs 17 . ) - „ 70 , • " • THE Sul I LoNbog, MONinAV MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 1845. in establishing the fact that no nation ever yielded to unjust demands, or meanly sacrificed its rights for the sake of temporary quiet, without cne day suffering the full penalty. We trust, however, that the more rational and honest portion of the American Union will view the question in a light dif ferent from that which influences Mr. Pouc, and that they will use every means in their power to settle the differences in a way honourable to both countries. We are glad to find that the Association for the promotion of improved paving, cleansing, and drainage is again in the field. Every one who remembers the delightfully clean condition in which the Strand was kept by the continued labour of the men employed by the Association, during the last winter—every one who desires to see employment provided fur the destitute poor—in short, every person who abhors dirt and loves his fellow-creatures, must wish success I to the labours of this Association. They are now about to carry their labours into the City. In answer to an appli• cation made ho the City Commissioners of Sewers, on Tuesday last, permission was given to the As sociation '• to demonstrate, at their own expense, for a period of two months, to what state of perfection the streets may be kept clean by the employment of a given number of men throughout the day at the undermentioned places : The area surrounding the Royal Exchange to the extent of from 50 to 60 feet, Threadneedle-street, and Throgmorton street, Finch-lane, Tokenhonse-yard, King-street, Guild hall, Gresham-street, and 200 yards along Moor:gate-street." This will secure to the merchants and traders of London, during two of the dirtiest months in the year, the means of :lean access to the Bank and the Royal Exchange, the two great centres of the monetary and the commercial wealth of the world, while the City functionaries will be enabled to proceed dryshod to the performance of their duties, whether those duties call them to the Mansion-house or the Guildhall. Mr. PEACOCK, the Chairman of the Commissioners, in granting the leave sought expressed a certainty that the Association, in its endeavours to cleanse our leading thoroughfares, and to pro vide work for the unemployed poor, would receive the sup port of the Press, and Mr. PEACOCK was right. To the honour of the Press be it spoken, it is never backward in pronouncing in favour of any measure like the one now under considesation, which is really and demonstrably for the con venience and benefit of the community. We have received Madrid papers of the 14th inst., but they contain little news. The Heraldo confirms the report that a conspiracy had been discovered at Barcelona, but gives no additional particulars. Madrid was tranquil. On the 14th the Three per Cents. closed at 353 for cash, and 3711 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days. Accounts front Paris announce that the panic on the Bourse, which commenced on Wednesday, increased on the following day, and the prices of both stock and shares fell considerably. The cause of the fall had been attributed mainly to the failure of a broker of the first respectability, to the amount, it was said, of 1,800,000 f., and to the doubtful position of another. The leading articles in the papers re late chiefly to the corn question, but we find little new in them. The Presse, which first called upon the French Government to shut the ports against England, renews its arguments, on the ground that though there may be enough of grain in France for the wants of the inhabitants, and prices are moderate, no one can tell what may take place should the English ports be opened, and a demand made on corn-producing countri es f or large supplies. "We confess," says that paper, " that we are far from finding in the circular of the Minister of Commerce the assured protection which he would seem to wish to imply against the inconveniences of foreign exporta tion. All the figures and arguments of the circular come to this—the harvest is sufficient. We have never said the con trary ; but we have added—it is sufficient If we keep it for ourselves; it will no longer be so if we allow a large part of it to be exported to foreign countries. But it is in in vain that we read and re-read the circular, it contains no reply to this argument. But foreign countries will not ask us for anything, insinuates the circular, for they will find else where in abundance what they want. England will require nothing ; her own warehouses and those of the North Sea are full of grain, and corn is at a low price in all the producing countries. Let us not deceive ourselves. The reserve thus kept in store is but a limited resource, and which cannot even suffice for the wants of England. The moderate price at which corn is sold in England is caused by this fact—that the speculators who fill her bonded warehouses expect at the same time an augmentation in the price and a diminution in the tariffs. The low prices of the distant markets, which are quoted, have nothing to do with abundance. Corn is only 13f. the hectolitre at Odessa, we are told. Yes, but to the argument which it is desired to draw from this fact, there are unfortunately three replies. First, that to this price of 13f. must be added the cost of carriage, which was officially estimated in 1832 at sf. or 6f. to Marseilles alone. Secondly, to what amount will this price of 13f. be raised, when all the nations which want corn this year shall present themselves as competitors on the market of Odessa, and shall have opened their ports and emptied their warehouses? And, lastly, is it really known how much corn Odessa can furnish Europe with? Is that fabulous abundance attributed to it well ascertained? Open the ports of France and England, and the corn of Odessa will soon go up, and her warehouses will soon be empty? It is this which renders so ridiculous in our eyes the question addressed to us by a journal, which a.ks how England could think of purchasing our corn at 201., when she could procure it at Odessa for 13f."- The intelligence in these papers is not of much interest. A Toulon journal of the 16th states that the Ducouedic, which has arrived there from Monte Video, brings positive intelligence that ORIBE has been compelled to abandon the siege of that place. ROSAS had declared war against France and England ; and it was reported that he had already taken possession of several trading vessels of the two countries. Since the arrival of the Dacouedic a report has been cur rent in that port that Admiral LAINE, who is in command of the French squadron in the Plata, has sent to require from the Government a reinforcement of ships, with several thou sand troops. The Moniteur promulgates a royal ordonnance, dated the 19th inst., convoking the Chambers for the 27th December. The Moniteur also publishes a royal ordonnance, dated the 18th, appointing a commission, composed of twenty-nine of the most eminent physicians and surgeons, with Dr. ORFILA for President, and Doctors LABARRAQUE and CArrois as se cretaries, to inquire andmake a report upon all the necessary and important reforms and improvements that may be made in the science and practice of every branch of the medical profession. M. BARROT, father of M. 0. BAItROT, and member of the convention of the Legislative Assemblies up to 1815, died on Wednesday at Paris, in the 93d year of his age. The following extract of a letter from Algiers appears in the Quotidienne, a Legitimatist paper. If the atrocious pro ceeding is riot founded on fact, it becomes the duty of the French Government to undeceive the public " We were hoping that those lamentable executions en masse, which are so afflicting to every French heart, and the political con sequences of which it was easy to foresee, would have been re nounced, when Colonel St. Arnaud, in August last, committed a deed which left far behind that of Colonel Pelissier. A numerous population of both sexes and all ages, 'with their flocks and herds, their tents, their camels, and every means of subsistence, had concealed themselves in the grottoes of the Ibeat of the Dahra, on the right bank of the Chelif. The Colunel 'walled up the seven or eight entrances with rocks, blown off by petards, and thus caused to perish, ac cording to the unanimous accounts of the Arabs, 3,000 miserable victims. All the French who formed the camp which the Colonel, after this frightful execution, left at Ain-liferan, that is to say, the men of two battalions of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry, affirm that not a man escaped from this vast tomb, which they were appointed to watch. Abd- el-Rader, with his usual ability, availed himself of these two horrible events to raise the exaltation of the Arabs to its highest pitch, and induced several of the friendly tribes to revolt and take up arms against us, and rendered ail the rest disaffected. We have hem for two months the victims of this state of things. Every individual Arab has consequently be come an open or covert enemy to us, and even in Oran our safety is insecure.''

The Board of Trade, by the direction of the 1 AW officers of the Crown, will receive plans and maps, wh i ch, uy the stand ing orders of Parliament must be deposited at ths&t Board, up to twelve at night on Sunday, the 30th inst. Do .übts having been entertained on this head, we deem it right., to announce the fact. The New York packet shipNontezuma, Captain Lowber, reached Liverpool on Friday, after a pfssage of 19% days from New York. 310-N and CU fit 1A L NEWS (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The sa'es of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,009 bales, 2,000 of which were on speculation. There was no change in prices. Shares still had a downward tendency, and with verylittle demand. The state of the Bank circulation throughout the country willjust now be looked to with interest. Running over the items we find a decrease of 227,6801. in the note issues of the Bank of England Ouring the seven days to the 15th instant, and an increase of 45,380/. in the amounttaken tothe banking department. The public deposits have increased by 1,184,1034 The other deposits have been diminished by 235,1134 an indication that money is rather scarcer. The seven days and other bills have been diminished by 31,9711. The bullion amounted to 13,722,948/., a diminution of 152.862/. The amount ;of promissory notes issued by the Scotch and Irish banks also appears in last night's Gazette. The former augmented their issues by 165,9141., and the latter by 991,250'. Tile total circulation of the two countries was 11,418,5281. . . There have been no arrivals to-day with later intelligew • of general:intere.st, although a good many ship letters have come to hand.

Ao • t c po a Y o O to OVEBLAND'IdAIt INDIA AND CHINA. This mail brings dispatches of the following dates :—From Calcutta, Oc:. 8; Bombay, Oct. 15; Delhi, Oct. 1; Hong- Kong, Sept 1. Our letters from Alexandria are to the 7th of November. Accounts from the Punjaub announce the death of Jowahir Singh, the Wuzeer, by the Seikh soldiery, in revenge for the death of Peshora Singh. The Queen-Mother continues to di rect the State affairs. Letters to the 24th from Lahore state that Xeean Prithee h a ,' at first been appointed to carry on provisionally the affairs of the State. Raja Lall Singh had been released; and Jewttn .Singh, who had not gone far, having been seized, received a g00..1 beating, but was set free. Lail Singh Mt— rareea had hidden himself among his own troops. On the 24th Prithee Singh AA' deprived of the seals of office, and ,n the Ranee assumed the owers of Sirkar. There is no news from Sint,..e. The ex-King of Caubul died of cholera at Loodianah. The Nizam's dominions continuodisordered, and it is thought that hostilities will be resorted A civil war is threatening Burmah. There is nothing new from China. (From the Bombay Times, Oct. 15. ) There has been a fresh revolution in the Punjaub. Sl.rdar Juwahir Singh, the weak minded and dissolute Minister, has been murdered by a portion of the troops, in revenge for the death of Prince Peshora Singh, whose assassination he is supposed to have instigated. The direction of state affairs was by the last accounts in the hands of the Queen-Mother, though the majority of the soldiery were most anxious that Ghoolab Singh should assume the post of Vizier, and had re repeatedly entreated him to come to Lahore for that purpose. The Maltarajah,llhuleep aingh, remains for the present cn the throne, but the troops have on more than one occasion threatened to depose him, and elevate a son of the late Shere Singh's, so that his tenure of power can harci;,v be deemed very secure. There can be little doubt that this important intelligence will have some effect on the views of the Go vernor-General in reference to the Punjaub. From Sinde there is scarcely a particle of news. The season promises to be less hot than usual, and the trifling character of the sickness that has as yet appeared leads us to hope that it may prove very much less unhealthy. There is no news from Affghanistan, but we hear from LooeLianah of the death from cholera of Zemaun Shah, the blind old ex-King of Caubul. The Nizam's dominions con tinue in a most disordered state, and it is thought the British Government will have to resort to hostilities for the thorough restoration of tranquillity. A civil war is threatenning in Burmah. From China we have received some recent intelligence, the most important item of which is that the principal inha bitants of Hong-Kong have addressed a memorial to Lord Stanley, in which the miserable prospects of the colony, and the impolitic and oppressive nature of its government, are graphically detailed. Backed as this will be by the representations of Mr. - Montgo mery Martin, it ' cannot fail, we should think, to produce considerable effect. Sir Henry Hardinge is ex pected to reach Agra about the 20th instant and it is said he will meet the Commander-in-Chief at Meerut on the 15th proximo. Our local news comprises few incidents of im portance. The monsoon seems to be entirely over, and it has been a most defective one. The prospects of the agri culturists are consequently anything but cheering. Much satisfaction has been caused by the announcement that his Excellency Sir Thomas APMahon is to retain the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army another year. In vestigations will shortly be in progress in reference to the prospects of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway; and we observe that the Chamber of Commerce is about to memo rialise Government, recommending the introduction of rail way communication into this country, but claiming for Bom bay due participation in the advantages of any system that may be adopted, and expressing an opinion inimical to the construction of a " short experimental line," as proposed by the Court of Directors, as a means of testing the benefits de rivable from the new mode of locomotion. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Delhi Gazette Extra, Sept. 30.) We have been most anxiously expecting the details of the last great tragedy in Lahore, but unfortunately for us the dak from the north-west frontier seems to have been unac countably delayed on this occasion, and did not reach Delhi till near five yesterday afternoon. We lost no time, never. theless, in giving the particulars received by us to our station friends, and now proceed to make them more generally known. They are to the following effect :—The troops had, it is said by our letter (dated September 22), gone out to the encampment ground of Meean Meer for the ostensible purpose of preventing any damage to the town during the scenes on which they seem to have been determinedly bent. It has been stated in our previous accounts, brought down to the 19th of the month, that four chiefs had been de• tained by them as hostages for the fulfilment of the de mand they had made that the Ranee shotld bring out the Maharaja to them, accompanied, if she pleased, by Sirdar Juwahir Singh. Fukeer Noor-ood-deen, one of them, had been allowed to return to the fort on the 20th, to communi cate to the Ranee the firm determination of the troops to abide by their resolution. He seems to have succeeded in his negotiation, supported by the persuasions and assurances of Raja Lall Singh, who declared that he had ample re liance in the troops, for towards the evening of the 21st the royal party issued from the fort, the Ranee first, in a well protected palkee, and then the Maharaja, on an elephant, with his uncle (Sirdar Juwahir Singh), behind him on the same elepant ; the Wuzeer was unarmed, without even his sword or shield, and carried a small parasol. These were followed by some of the Ranee's women, on elephants. The troops had, in the mean time, become impatient at the pro tracted delay, and the procession had scarcely got clear of the gate, when they were told that some of the battalions were approaching with the declared intention of at once storming the fort. The consequence was that the Maha raja's cfirtge aeon fell in with the first of them, which happened to be the Dhera of Court Saheb. These im mediately turned about and conducted the royal per sonages to their own particular encampment, close to the spot where the Maharaja's tents had been pitched in an ticipation of the visit. A salute, but not of the required number of guns, was fired. On reaching the appointed spot the court troops broke off, and tumultuously surrounded the several elephants. The Ranee was made to enter one of the tents, the mahout of the Maharaja's elephant was or dered to cause his charge to kneel down, and, as he seemed to hesitate, his movements were hastened by a shot in the side, which severely wounded, but did not kill him. The elephant knelt, a soldier seized the Maharaja and carried him in his arms either into the tent, or to a little distance, when the elephant was immediately made to stand up again, and a volley of musketry was directed against Juwahir Singh. The first discharge not taking effect, the wuzeer prayed they would spare him, and seized the opportunity of a momentary pause to assure the troops that be had, at that moment, one sack full of rupees, and another of golden bracelets and armlpts with him, ready for distribution amongst them. The commu nication had an effect the reverse of what the sirdar seemed to expect, and the firing having been forthwith renewed, the wu zeer was soon put out of his misery. Two of his principal fa vourites, namedChatta Baia and Baba Ruttun Singh, who were following, well mounted, thought to escape by the speed of their horses, but were soon overtaken and shot down. With the death of these three persons, the revenge of the blood thirsty soldiery seems to have been satisfid for the time. They kept the Maharaja, however, and the Ranee, in the camp during the whole night, but allowed them to return to the fort about ten• on the following morning (22d inst.) also releasing the chiefs Deewan Deena Nath, Bukhshee Bhuggut Ram, and the Attareewallah Sirdar. Raja Lall Singh, who had, it appears, returned to Lahore with Juwahir Singh on the Bth, and who is, on all hands, declared to be the paramour of the Ranee, was alone kept a close pri soner, and had, according to ore account, been put in chains by the troops. He immediately set about doing all he could to obtain his release from his rapacious gaolers; and, amongst his other representations (how far warranted by the facts of the case we cannot tell, but it seems to us un likely, and to have been said to divert the attention of the troops), we are assured he has told the soldiery that Sirdar Juwahir Singh had deposited, in a spot between Ferozepore and Loodianah, two krores of ru pees. He further solemnly promised them, in writing, fifte en rupees per man as pay, and a pair of gold bracelets as a pr !sent gratuity, if they would release him, and appoint him wu seer, while another candidate for the favour of the army, M eeau Prithee Singh, has also given these a written promise that they shall have 18 rupees per man, and the bracelets to boot ! It is very confidently asserted that the Ranee would never have left the palace on this unfortunate occasion, had she not been assured by Ra ja Lali Singh, in the most so2enen manner, that he had eight battalions in his favour, and he seems to have been so far correct in his assurances, that it is generally believed that had the court troops not made short work of the matter, he would have been able to protes a the wuzeer, and that the respective parties would have been engaged in a general battle. The bodies of the 1: et wuzeer, Sirdar Juwahir Singh, and of his two fellow- sufferers, were publicly burnt en the afternoon of the 22d in the Badamee Garden, which has of late been made the scene of so many frightful trage dies, and of one on the present occasion still more frightful, if possible. Three, or aecordin gto another account of this disgusting event, four women were burnt with the bodies, and, most shocking to relate, such was the disgraceful rapacity of the villanotes mob surroutridinj ; the funeral pyres, that not only the more valuable ornranen is of the unfortunate women, but their very clothes were twit from off their bodies before they stepped into the fire. A number of the slaves of the Ranee, Dewan Deena Nath, 1 ul:hshee thuggut Ram, and the Attareewallah, Katlewallah, ;sir darn, with a large concourse of people, attended the funereal on elephants. Raja Ghoolab Singh was shortly expected In. Lahore, when our letters came away, and it was suppose I that either he or his nephew, Juwahir Singh, ena+ anger brother of the late Sirdar Hegira Singh, would be elevated to the post of wuzeer. He must be a brave man who undertakes it with the fate of Dheean Si.agh, Heera Singh, and recently Juwahir Singh, before him. It appears that Sirdar Juwahir Singh's brother, Heera Sin gh, was in Lahore at the time of the tragedy, but that his life was _spared, as also that of the slave Mangela Goelee,the firs rouirite of Juwahir Singh, who has been frequently mention ed, a.nd who is known to have had great influence. Sirdar Jewun Singh, Toshekhaneeah, and Lail Singh Morareea, ha, 1 succeeded, it is said, in saving themselves by flight, and it i s not known whither they had gone. The most important p art of our news, if the fit hold, as it is certainly on them, is, that the soldiery had declared their positive intention of cro, sing the Sutlej. Vous verrons. They appear undoubtedly in . t state to do anything. Since writing the above, w e have received letters to the 24th from Lahore, stating that ; the Meean Prithee had at first been appointed to carry on p•rovisionally the affairs of the state. Raja Lall Singh had been released; and Jewun Singh, who had not gone fax, h aving been seized, received a good beating, but was set free, Lall Singh Morareea had hidden himself among his own t roops. On the 24th Prithee Singh was deprived of the "sea !s of office," and the Ranee assumed the full powers of " Sin :ar." SINL W o have accounts from Sukk n r tothe 29th ult., from Hy derabad the Bth, and from K m :rachee to the 11th instant; but the news is of a very triflin g anyd unimportant character. With the exception of a few ca. ies of fever, there has been as yet no sickness amongst the tn iops at the two former places, and the latter maintains its re; nitation as a cool, agreeable, av id healthy station. At Khau Our, however, a considerable nun :her of the Legion Cavalry b Ave been in hospital. The Beaso n is represented as much , iooler than usual: the river bad not risen as high as in forr 1r years by several inches, and, by the last accounts fn A i Hyderabad, was falling rapidly. Lieutenant E. Ducat, c f the 13th Native Infan try, died at Hyderabad on the 4 ;It instant, and Assistant- Surgeon G. K. Dickinson at F , , rt ' Fitzgerald (Larkhana) on the 30th ult.

Sia,—My attention has been given to what purports to be a report of the proceedings of a railway meeting at We'Ymouth, contained in The Sun of Tuesday. I think it fair towards you to inform you that besides being incomplete it is very inaccurate. Sir John Audrey is represented as a Director of the Great Western Railway, and not of the Wilts. Somerset. and Weymouth, wherees he said, I am a Director of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, and not otherwise con nected with the Great Western. Mr. Eliot is described as taking the opportunity of informing the gentlemen of the Great Western, instead of the gentlemen of the Wilts, Somer set and Weymouth. Mr. Brunel is made to say that the en gagements of the Great Western are very numerous. So they are, I doubt not; but Mr. Brunel did not tell the meet ing so. Mr. Hopkins said nothing about the Great Western monopolising the whole of the south coast; nor is it evident how they can monopolise the coast at all by an internal line. 1 am, Sir, yours obediently, RUDGG.

Barnett, the daughter of a retired trades man, who was residing with her sister at No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, expired there in consequence of very frightful and extensive injury she sustained by her clothes accidentally catching fire. It appears that between twelve and one o'clock on Friday morning, Miss Barnett having returned home from a ball, was in the act of taking some ornament from out of her hair, when part of her dress came in contact ' with the candle, and in a few seconds she was enveloped in flames. One of her sisters seriously burnt her hands and arms in attempting to extinguish the fire.
