This railway is intended, by means of a junction with the Edin hnrgh and Hawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin hmw.. cit..a^w qt.rtina from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway station at Newcastle, the main line win proceed northward by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight lice, in the direction of Ponteland and Betsey, by Lislesburr. to Woodburn on the need, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the shortest And (except by the very circuitous route of the east coast line), the only railway communication from Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle and Car lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland, tiv the Midland and shortest route. _ •It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;+this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of affording to the proposed line the additional facility of ship ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. _ _ .The Union which has just been effected between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks in the districts through which the proposed lines will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will he afforded for the transit oflime and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Lanark ; whilst the transport of live stock, from the rime districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish' drovers, will be in immediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length. The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot land, including the towns of llawick, Jetiburgh, Kelso, Melrose, Galaehiele, Peebles, Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity. And the proposed line, proceeding as it does from the extensive coal fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through the hitherto unapproachable seams of coal up the course of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant K.urce of revenue from its transit ; as a proof of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at heavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the cost of transit by the proposed line, through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow. An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de velopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds of minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of limestone and ironstone ; the latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at Hareslutw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the proposed line to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditions and economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac tures of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before mentioned, intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Europe. Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the great, local, and general traffic on the several parts of the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn, always aided by the consideration, that the line laid down for this railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles. From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee are assured by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite plane, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par liament for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking. The Subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act.

The cliord was delicately touched, it must be confessed ; but it was a chord to which every bosom in the room must have responded; and the proprieties of the place could alone have saved Sir JAMES GRArtax from a troublesome inter ruption, in the shape of a question, " What are you now going to do ?" The Cabinet have met, - and met, and met, and have dispersed with no outward sign of a resolution come to, at a time when famine. threatens the land—and there:are already signs also, of pestilence, which ever comes in famine's wake, and is now, even anticipating the usual time. The City, where this, though not the least, is but one of many causes of apprehension, is in a state of fever and consternation. " Will the ports be opened ? " is the question in every man's mouth. Till the ports are opened, no man can say what will be worst ; and there is no safety for the monied interest. It would have been difficult, then, for Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in the City, on Monday, to have chased utterly away the thought of the im pending danger; and we wonder that in the City, even though the occasion was one of ceremony and common-place he escaped questioning, exhortation, and remonstrance, from the assembled bankers and merchants of London. And yet Sir JAMES GRAHAM might have wished to invite expression of opinion, and may have gone back to Sir R. PEEL disappointed that his delicate feeler had failed to elicit a 'response. Beyond a delicate feeler he could not go. The Home Minister has acquired some character in cunning ; and those who know but little of his past political life, know enough to give him credit for no refinement of feeling to wards friends with.whom he has differed. Of the course which Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM have taken in the Cabinet, there can be no manner of doubt. Common rumour but gives to them the part which their known sagacity—in Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Sir ROBERT PEEL all the sagacity of the Cabinet is pretty much concentered,—would ensure that they had taken; and the Premier and the Home Mi nister have been foiled by the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord STANLEY, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT. The Duke of WEL LINGTON has at last set up his back against PEEL, and Lord STANLEY divides from the fidus Achates who followed him from the Whig Cabinet, and shared, emulous of pre-eminence, in his violent opposition to their old friends. %Ve can conceive Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S anxiety to lay before his audience the course which he had wished, and the mode in which he had been thwarted; and if released from all shackles, who would have better pointed satire and censure against the choleric old gentleman who has suddenly taken huff at not being con sulted by his colleagues, and determined to have his own way, when to have it will be to ensure starvation of millions— who would with greater effect quote (for he does not eschew hacknied quotations) " From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow ?" Who would better describe Lord STANLEY's capacities of statesmanship, or with more withering effect paint the Pre mier, stung by a snake whom he had nursed in his own bosom, turned upon and beaten by Mr. SIDNEY HER BERT, of whom, not twelve months ago, to all the world's surprise, be made a Cabinet Minister? It is rather soon for Mr. HERBERT to be playing his own game. He looks, of course, to be hereafter the leader of the Conservative partY. There is no Conservative of his standing at present likely to contest with him future pre-eminence in the House of Com mons. But his young ambition wants curbing, if he thinks to thrust Sir ROBERT PEEL from his stool. However, personal and party questions are as nothing in this great emergency; and what we most lament in the non-appearance of an Order in Council for opening the - ports, is that the Cabinet may resort to the alternative of calling Parliament together to settle the question. It is not yet too late to open the ports without Parliament. Time has been lost, certainly. Mr. COBDEN has only given vent to natural feelings of indignation at another packet having been allowed to sail for America without conveying a message of peace and plenty. But the Cabinet may still determine on an Order in Council; and better, far better, mill it be that they should do so, than that they should incur the inevitable delay of party and personal squabbles in St. Stephen's, and when, in a time of famine, more bread was to be had if the Ministry were bold, and leave it to be said that party fears and prejudices deprived famishing millions of food. The negotiations which have been entered into by the proprietaries of two of the noblest bridges in Europe—the one, perhaps, unmatched in point of combined architectural beauty and soundness of construction, the other unrivalled as a specimen of metal casting and workmanship, and the spins of its three gigantic arches (a centre one of 240 yards, and two side arches of 210 yards each )—are among the most remarkable results of the present public patronage of railway undertakings. The directors of two railway companies, pro jected on a magnificent scale, are proposing to purchase these bridges, with the double purpose of respectively securing a terminus to their lines at the most cen tral :and important points of the metropolis, and of continuing the London portion of their railroads unbroken and uninterrupted over the mighty stream already traversed by the grand and important structures in question. The sale of the Hungerford Suspension-bridge, another structure well entitled to occupy the highest rank in the class of engineer ing bridges to which it belongs, has been, we may say, just completed. in each of these three eases the eoneidoration to be paid for the conversion of the structure to railway uses, appears to be of a very liberal kind. For the youngest, in point of age, the best bargain, in point of money price, has, perhaps, been accomplished. But it must be remembered that the Hungerford-bridge had already attracted a " cus tom" far exceeding the most sanguine anticipation of its sub scribers. It was, and is, realising returns upon the capital vested in its elevation and completion that in a very few years, indeed, would have amply paid the whole principal of the sums expended upon it. The other two concerns were at once among the most majestic ornaments of our metropolis, and the most shameful reflections on the supineness of our public spirit and the timid niggardliness of the Government, both of which would have allowed them to fall into decay, simply because, having been in their origin private under takings, it was not considered expedient to mitigate the severe losses which they bad entailed on the spirited individuals whose enterprise had produced them, by any such grant of the national funds, as the national reputation they had achieved for us in art seemed so well to merit. The lucky accident of their being thus eminently available to one of the most important objects ofgreat railwayspeculations connected immediately with London as a terminus, having thus realised for their proprietaries a valuable, though final compensation, we are anxious that the public interests should have all the benefit of the opportunity —rare as it is—of consulting them, which railway directors will now possess, in dealing with these remarkable acquisitions. No foreigner, who ever contemplated TELFORD'S stu pendous Southwark-bridge, or RENNIE'S glorious production of Waterloo-bridge, can have turned to the view of the miserable localities which they immediately connect on either side of the river without a feeling of astonishment at the disparity between links so superb, and the chains of motley or dingy quarters which they unite. It is true, that on the Strand side, opposite 'Wellington-street, great improvements have been of late effected. On the Surrey side, from the Feathers to the Victoria Theatre, and thence to the Obelisk or the School for the Indigent Blind, to hew sordid a locale is this sumptuous Waterloo-bridge an aditus. Then what a miserable and wretched suburb does one enter, from the massive granite pavement, and the noble superstructure raised on those iron arches of the Southwark-bridge I After such views of the river—such views of the colonies on its banks are abso lutely humiliating. We do hope that, bearing in mind these unseemly anomalies and painful contrasts, the Railway Directors which have acquired the property of these bridges will not fail so to arrange their new works, and to construct their new termini, as to afford as noble entrances and exits from these bridges.. Nothing will be more easy than, with but one half the liberal outlay they have shown on so many analogous occasions, to create, on this, new architectural vistas of an interest and magnificence hitherto unachieved in the first capital of Europe. Care should be taken, we further ven ture to suggest, so to manage and adapt the preliminary designs as to keep them susceptible of ready and orna mental combination with the long-projected designs of Sir FREDERICK TRENCH and others, for the embankment, new quayage, and public walks, contemplated to be carried along the north bank of the Thames from the Custom-house to the new Houses of Parliament. We perceive that among the prominent parties to these negotiations there is a gentle man as eminent for his spirit and munificence as for his great wealth and enlightened enterprise. At the hands of so prac tical as well as enlightened a man as Sir L. GOLDSMID, we heartily trust some proposition of this kind will not fail to receive all necessary encourgement. We repeat that here is a noble opportunity for embellishing the metropolis, such as has not offered since the great fire of 1666, and for 200 years to come may not offer again, under equally advantageous cir cumstances. We earnestly implore those who have the power to improve it that it may not be lost. The generous conduct of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY to wards the unfortunate refugees who had taken shelter in his dominions after the failure of the political rising at Rimini must excite the warmest approbation in every country. There may be exceptions, we admit, and even in free Eng_ . land, for we have journals representing all shades of political opinions, even those that have been extinct among the peo. ple and their rulers for two centuries, and which flourished in their vigour at Court when JAMES the FIRST was king , and which brought his son to the scaffold. It appears that the GRAND DUNE, from first to last in this affair, displayed the same liberal . and . humane conduct. The Tuscan . Government, it is well known, had allowed about a hundred of the refugees to pass un molested through the country, and the King of SARDINIA, animated by the same feelings, allowed them to embark at Genoa. Seven of the leaders, however, were detained in the fort of Belvidere, at Florence, and of these two were the Counts RAPAELLO PAS! and FERNANDO VITELLONI ; the other five were also men of some note in the Legations. They were detained on the representations of the POPE'S Nuncio at Florence, who represented the serious consequences of allowing these young men, enemies of established govern ments, to escapewith impunity, and the encouragement which his Highness would give to anal-contents in his own dominions. But all the priest's remonstrances were in vain, the friends of liberty were allowed to retire to Frante, and the strongest reproof was thus given to the Cabinet of His HouriEss. 1 which appears to be the most despotic of all the Matt - mm.llas ' 1 of government existing in abgolute monarchies. The mo tives which must have led to such conduct form, however, the more cheering parts of the jarospect. Tuscany is go verned as a fief of Austria; the GRAND DUKE is Viceroy, and the policy here displayed may be regarded as that of PRINCE METrEnxrcir, whose prejudices have been greatly assuaged by experience, and by the progress of constitutional govern ments. Revolutions and Parliamentary reform he begins to see are not such dangerous movements'after all, for France is now the most peaceable country in -Europe, and a Tory Government can reign as well with a reformed Parliament as under the old rotten-borough system. These repeated attempts in Romagna to obtain redress of grievances cause un easiness to Austria for the peace and security of her Italian dominions, and it is therefore her policy to induce the POPE to place his institutions in a state which wilt afford no grounds for fresh insurrections. But force, or remonstrances equal to force, must be resorted to before the Holy Father will yield- It is admitted on all hands that the Government of the Church is the very worst in Europe, that the Cardinals are a bigoted and generally a merciless race, and that they still dream of the universal dominion of the Catholic faith, and the return of those glorious days of Papal power, when kings held the stirrups to the POPE, in terdicts dissolved the allegiance of subjects; and the whole New World was claimed as the patrimony of ST. PETER. We believe priests are incapable even of the slightest reform, and for that reason, all countries where their influence pre vails are badly governed. It is hardly necessary to cite Spain and Rome as proofs. Accounts from Brussels have been received this morning of the date of Tuesday, Nov. 11. On that afternoon the Cham bers were opened with the usual solemnity by the KING in person. His MAJESTY'S speech, as given in the Herald, is a very lengthy document, and almost as unin teresting as it is long. It states that commercial treaties have been concluded with the United States and with China. His MAJESTY describes the general situation of commerce and industry as satisfactory. With respect to the measures adopted to guard against famine, the KING says : " The rigricultural interest continues to be the object of the constant attention of the Government. The corn harvest has been on the whole a good one, and although one of the most valuable articles of consumption for the poorer classes has been in a great part destroyed, the resolutions which you have adopted during your extraordinary session have already led to favourable results. They will alleviate the effects of the visitation. and, moreover, afford the means of providing for the wants of the operative classes, by encouraging useful public works." The following passage, relating to the formation of railways, canals, and roads, will be read with interest by the ca pitalist : " Ever since the national railways have reached the French and German frontiers the conveyance of goods and passengers, and the amount of the receipts, have rapidly and unceasingly progressed. The results obtained this year have surpassed my expectation. Your last session was distinguished towards its close by the vote of several projects of railways and canals. The favourable reception given to fo reign capitalists has led to many demands for the concession of lines. Some of those demands, after being examined, will be submitted to your deliberation. In order to increase the means of affording employment during the winter, the formation of ordinary and_useful roads will be zealously undertaken." An amendment of the law on sugar is announced, and al though existing circumstances render some increase of ex penditure necessary, the KING expressly dtclares that the equilibrium: between the revenue and the outlay of the State will be maintained, without requiring any new sacri fice on the part of the tax-paying public. The Madrid journals of the 4th contain a variety of ru mours about the army and the forthcoming municipal elec tions, but no intelligence of the slightest interest. The capital remains perfectly tranquil ; and, indeed, throughout the province nothing like opposition to the existing Govern ment is manifested. Party rancour appears to be decreasing; and, acccirding to a journal published in the south of France, most of the Carlist refugees will be allowed to return. " The Queen of SPAIN," says the 2femoriul Bourdelais," has issued a decree, dated October 28, authorising the consuls to deliver passports to all officers, non-commissioned officers, and other persons of Don CARLOS'S party now in France, permie. - ting them to return to Spain, on condition that they take the oath of fidelity to the monarchical institutions at preseutt governing the kingdom." Another account states that this measure does not extend to any Carlist officer above the rank of corporal. The Bourse was closed on the 4th. Thee Stock and Share market at the Paris Bourse on Mon day , exhibited a more cheering and firm appearance than it had done for some days. Shortly after the commencement of beesiness the price of funds and railway shares showed au upward tendency, owing to more favourable advises from London. About half-past two the firing of the guns of the Insealides gave rise to a report that ABD-EL-KADEE had been taken, and this gave an impulse to the market, which cm tinned till the close, when it was ascertained that the gags had been fired for the accouchement of the Duchess LeAtlssacE, who had been delivered of a son. At the chose the Three per Cents. were 10c., and the Fives 50c. higher than on Saturday, and in all the principal railways there had beta considerable improve suisnt. Parties, therefore, began to hope that the worst was den own. The leading articles in the Paris journals require lilt le notice. The Epoque, a Government journal, in refer ring to the visit of M. TRIERS to London, and the reception ha met with, says, " the object of the ex-Minister's visit was a reconciliation with Lord PALMERSTON, and an alliance which he thought might be useful to him." In another article this journal replies to an article in the Constitutionnel of . Sunday, in which high praises are bestowed on the Duke of IV - eetxcroN at the expense of Marshal SOULT. This sud • dear admiration of the British General is attributed to the pl easure felt at the kind reception given in London to IC TRIERS, the patron of that journal. The changed tone of that paper, with regard to England and Englishmen, is certainly remarkable, and we are charitably inclined to im putm it to the best motives. The article to which the Govern ment paper refers is curious, and we, therefore, give it as a j t o h u e rn w aj it , to , r , t o o f c W om at p e a sto. t he " People nwothfiachiled; rare instance of a n y French w r it er pass i ng an eulogium on M. sSOUL T ays that is plac ed, by the nomination of Al. ST. YON as War Minister, with the position held by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the English Cabinet, and this parallel will, no doubt, continue to furni sb a theme for the fecundity of the Ministerial journals. The less correct it is, the more they will persist in reproducing it. Let us once and for all render justice to thus impossible juxta-position. The Duke of WEL LINGT o is a man of rare good sense, and of real poli tical capacity. Nobody, who has perused the volumi nous :sod remarkable correspondence of the Noble Duke, will d' istpute his talents as a. statesman. The Duke of WEL LINGT ON, moreover, possesses the prestige of success, an im mense popularity, and the sort of adoration with which he is sun minded by the high aristocracy and the people at large- He is , lot only an important, but a necessary, m em b er o f t h e Cabin , ; for he represents in itthe High Church party and the gr, sat landed interest, the genuine Tories, who, had it not bet re for their extreme deference to him, would, perhaps, have bi alien a long time ago with Sir R. PEEL, whom they have sought to set aside. It is a dissension between the Duke oi7WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL that at present pro longs fle crisis caused in England by the corn -law question, and the retirement of the Duke, as well as that of Sir R. PEEL, Muld at once dissolve the Ministry. The Duke of Weems cteecise therefore holds, and with good title, an impor tant post; in the English Cabinet ; and yet, notwithstanding his fame, his popularity, his exalted station, an d th e neces sity of his presence, he is not, even nomi na ll y , t h e h ead of the Adminisltration. Sir R. PEEL is not only the directing mem ber of then Cabinet, but he also enjoys the title of Prime Mi nister—lus is above the Duke of WELLINGTON! How then can any lea rallel be established between the Duke of WEL LINGTON and Marshal SOULT ? The real head of the Ca binet in lkance would be M. GUIZOT. Sir R. PEEL has the title and the reality at one and the same time. Why is it not in Pr mis as in London ? It is not the wish that is want ing, butt his courage. M. GUIZOT dares not face his unpopu larity, or the cannot impose it upon his colleagues. That is the wholes -secret of the pretended importance of the Mar shal ; he holds a place which nobody can fill." The sa tree journal states that the Chinese mandarin who concluded the commercial treaty with M. Lae - mesas, has been made a men iher of the Legion of Honour.A letter has been ad dressed by - :a great number of the Bordeaux merchants to the Chamber of that town, which contains much truth. They complain 'of the new regulations in Russia respecting the tonnage du es on French vessels, which they say will be very injurious to French commerce, and add that the tariff of France is the cause of these rigorous measures, and that it places Trance in a permanent state of commercial hostility with fhreign countries. " Whilst the commercial movement between Austria and the states of be German Customs Union," says a Vienna letter, " amount ed to 68 millions of florins during the last four years, that of Austria with Poland and Russia, in the same period, including the very active trade with the repub lic of Cracovia, was - only 10 millions. The commercial movement of Austrist With Turkey amounted in these four years to 21 millions. Jt is to the rigourous prohibitory sys tem of Russia that ws3 must attribute the small amount of trade between that cotustry and Austria.' The new tariff of the Zollverein, as settled at the Con ference held at Carlsruhe, and which is to replace the old one from and after th e I s t J anuary nex t, was published on the 6th inst., and cont a i ns the following alterations : " Articles added to the li st off those w hich are exempted from all duty in or out, viz.:—Living• plants, in pots or boxes; flax, The steeped or not, in the stalk or bundles ; h a y , seeds, wool, manu factured from refuse. entrance duties are i n creased u p on the following articles, viz.: Whalebone not split into small strips, and which paid an entrance duty of 17 florins 30 kreut zers per quintal. has hitherto been subjected to a duty of 52%kr.

To say nothing is not more the business of a royal speech to Parliament than of a Minister's oratory at the Mansion. house ; and Sir JAMES GRAHAM appears to have done his best on Monday to keep within the bounds of nothingness. But the emergency of the times triumphed over even Sir JA3IRS GRAHAM'S oratorical dexterity. And when the Home Minis. ter spoke of the responsibilities of Government in this country, where, "from time to time, difficulties must anise which no N'O VE M 13E R 12, 184 5 upon papers with patterns wrought in gold or silver, are in creased from BA. 45kr. to 1711. 30kr. a quintal. Ribbons of half silk, which now pay an entrance duty of 9611. 15kr. a quintal, will henceforth pay 19211. 30 kr., being the same as that put upon silk goods in general. The most important of the new duties are those put upon woollen goods. Tissues made of pure wool, or other materials except silk, as printed goods of every description not fulled, goods if they are figured, tissues em broidered or sprigged, shawls with borders sewn on to them, and with patterns, articles of gold, silver, and other laces, and buttons and embroidery which are not connected with works in Iron, glass, wood, leather, brass, or steel, will pay 87fl. 30kr. the quintal; cloths and other woollen stuffs fulled, felt not printed, hosiery, and all other goods not fulled and without patterns, are to pay 528. 30kr. a quintal; carpets 3511: the quintal. Reductions of, or total ex emptions from, duty, are granted to several raw materials imported for consumption in the countries of the Zollverein. Thus sul phur, which has hitherto paid a duty of HILL a quintal, aloes and moss, which have paid 521 kr., gall.nuts, turmeric, and sumach, which have paid 171 kr., have these entrance duties suppressed, and the existing export duties are increased. The entrance duties upon raw caoutchouc, arid every species of resin, are reduced from 521 kr. to 17i kr. the quintal. A very important concession has been made in the transit of merchandise through the south-western countries of the•Zoilverein, so that, for all those on the left bank of the Oder, the general transit duties are reduced from 52} kr. to 35 kr. the quintal. At the same time, all the special duties upon wool and cotton, and woollen and cotton and other tisanes, are suppressed." A Berlin letter of the Ist says :—" The new tariff of the Ger man Customs' Union makes no change in the duties in the different kinds of thread, but the Prussian Government states that the question of change is merely postponed.".l According to a letter from Rome of the 30th ult., the Emperor Niel-to Las will arrive thither on the 18th or 19th of the present month, and return to his dominions by Flo rence.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, at steady prices; 1,500 bales were on speculation.—There was not a large business done in Shares, but a better feeling prevailed in the market. It is satisfactory to find that the great project of an exten sive cultivation of the tea plant in the more northern part of tl:e East Indies is likely to be most successfully carried out. In the Report of the Directors of the Assam Company, made yesterday at a special meeting of the Proprietors, it was an nounced that the crop of this year will be very nearly 188,0001bs. But for the drought that has prevailed in Assam the yield would have been much more consider able, and fully up to the estimate made two or three years since. It is of importance, too, as establishing the fact that good teas can be produced in Assam, to state that some hundreds of chests have been taken freely by the trade at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per lb. ex- duty. The Directors have declared a dividend of 108. per share, after reserving sufficient assets to pay all the cost of production of 1846, home expences, and leaving a considerable surplus. The time may not be far distant when the people of the United Kingdom may become independent of China, that is for supplies of this article of consumption. The report to the special meeting held yesterday will be found in another part of The Sun. The New Tariff is producing some rare imports. For in stance, there were put up at public sale thirty baskets of China Vegetable, or Tree Tallow, and thirty bales of China Hemp, just received from Shangliae. The.
