TEE PRIVY COUNCIL. IMPORTANT 4NFORICIATION. There can be no doubt whatever that the corn-law has formed one of the principal, if not the primary, subject for the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers, in their late anl protracted deliberations in Privy Council; and the result, at this critical moment, when starvation, or something very little short of it, actually stares in the face several millions of her Majesty's subjects, has been looked for with the greatest possible anxiety. The result has not been allowed publicly to transpire, but we are enabled to state upon authority upon which we can place the most implicit reliance, that a majority of the Cabinet have resolved upon the continuation of the corn-laws as they at present exist, and without'the slightest modification. How this will be received by the country will remain to be seen; but our own opinion is that it will create coneider ble dissatisfaction throughout the whole of the manufactur ing districts, and be received with great pleasure by those who have lately speculated largely in grain. —Sunday Times be ~,,,,o, 70t,0) mr apP li A, IrelaAA Nu 16,610.

The'first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn. Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondliam, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the - proposed lines across the countrof Leicester, via Bar ton-upen-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway_ It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. . There is notnanel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means or transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure - the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are .at present only su pplied at very high rates; and, in return trifitc, the Midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norrolk.• - Several proposed. lines of railway converge at Spalding, - which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed, capital will be sufficient for the construction of the nece ssary woris and every subsequent expense ; and the ineome derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton; Spalding, und Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other praduce • of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have - been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing•cross, where applicationa for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi• sional Committee.

We have it in our power to announce that all the mystery sip • pertaining to the disappeaarance of Lady Adela Villiers, the youngest daughter of the Esrl and. Countess of Jersey, is now cleared up, the information regarding the fair fugitive .having been brought to town by the Hon. Capt. Frederick Villiers, from the north, on Saturday afternoon. • The.plani of the " runaways" were so well arranged that, thanks to the railway, to overtake them was an impossibility. It seems that, unknown to the Earl of Jersey's family, a clandestine cons. municatinn has been maintained for some months past by the youthful lady and her gallant admirer, but so secretly that not the slightest suspicion was excited even among the closest attendants of her Ladyship. A strict investigation was, on the return of tae Countess of Jersey from Arundel Castle, instituted, the head of the police at Brighton being present; and although not the least clue was to be obtained from the governess of the young lady, the lady's Maid, whe invariably accompanied her ladyship in her promenades, said that a tall fair gentleman, of military bearing, had occasionally, to all appearances accidentally, met Lady Adela. when, as they conversed in French, she could not comprehend the substance of their discourse. It has subsequently transpired that shortly after five o'clock on Wednesday evening, as Lady Adele left the lodge gates, a public fly was in readiness, by which her Ladyship, in company with a gentleman, was conveyed to the railway terminus, and proceeded to town by the half.past five o'clock train for London. On their arrival in the metropolis they must have gone direct to the Bir mingham Railway at Euston-square, and left by the mail train for Newcastle, en route to Carlisle, on their way to Gretna-green ; so that when it was discovered at East Lodge, Brighton, that Lady Adele had so unaccountably disappeared, the lovers were on the road to Scotland. It was also ascertained that her Ladyship re mained in the fly at the station till the bell rang for the train to start. The Hon. Captain Frederick Villiers having heard on Thursday morning of the absence of his sister, immediately started by express to Gretna, it having been only surmised that Lady Adele had eloped. On his arrival at Carlisle he there gained the infor. mation that a young lady, answering exactly in description to her Ladyship, and a gentleman, had passed through that place. Orr his arrival at Gretna-green, or more properly Graitney, the ren dezvous of fugitive lovers, the Honourable Captain was informed that on Thursday afternoon, at four o'clock, a marriage was so • lemnised and lawfully concluded between Captain Charles Parke lbbetson and Lady Adela Coriander Marie 'Villiers. Thus within twenty-three hours after their departure from Brighton the nuptial ceremony was performed. It was understood that after the performance of the ceremony the Captain and her Ladysip repaired direct to Edinburgh. Captain Charles Parke lbbetson entered the 4th (Royal Irish) Regiment of Dragoon Guards as cornet, 24th April, 1835, and in June, 1837, purchased a lieutenantcy in that regiment. He sub sequently changed into the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own), in. which regiment he ,holds the commission of a captain of the date of June, 1843. We understand that the gallant officer is son of Mr. Henry Ibbetson, of the firm of Ibbetson and Son, proctors and :notaries of Great Knight Rider-street, and of Chester-terrace, Regent's Park. We learn that a letter was received by the Earl of Jersey on Saturday morning, announcing the marriage, but it was not until the evening that the Earl and Countess were possessed of all the details of the elopement. The Hon. Captain Frederick Villiers arrived at an early hour in the afternoon on Saturday from Carlisle, and was bearer of all the information that could be obtained at Gretna. Prince Nicholas Esterhazy and Viscount Villiers, shortly after the Hon. Captain's arrival, proceeded by the express train to Brighton, to acquaint the Earl and Countess of Jersey with all the circumstances rtlative to the marriage. The Earl- and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers were expected to arrive in town yesterday, from Brighton.: It is rumoured that her Ladyship and the Captain first met at Almack's during the last season. SEIZURE OF TWO THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH OF ILLICIT SPIRITS OF NITRE. A seizure of an almost unprecedented character was, on Satur day last, concluded and communicated to the Commissioners of Excise, by Mr. C. A. Davis, one of the detective officers of her Majesty's Customs. It will be in the recollection of the public, that, in the month of July last, the same indefatigable officer made a capture in the Globe-road, Stepney, of a most complete and ex tensively fitted distillery, together with upwards of 1,000 gallons of spirits, 52 over proof; and the materials alone, exclusive of the spirits, amounted to forty waggon loads. In the course of his search certain documents fell into the hands of Mr. Davis, from which a clue was obtained that some thousand gallons of spirits had been recently removed from the premises ; and from that time to the present his eXertions have been unceasing to discover where this immense stock had been deposited. It appeared that in 1844 this officer found a large still on the premises of persons going by the name of " Berkeley and C 0.," of Grove-lane, Holloway; but in consequence of the still being unset he could not legally seise it, but before leaving the house he wrote his name upon it. This still was afterwards found on the premises In the. Globe.road. The solicitor of Berkeley threatened the Officet with • actions for trespass, but none were ever entered. On searching the premises in Globe-road, I documents were found from the same solicitor to the parties there, clearly showing that Bayley, Brothers, (the name they went by in the Globe-road). were identical with " Berkeley and C 0.," - of the Holloway-road. This solicitor had drawn up certain legal documents, by which Bayley, Brothers, had been enabled to mortgage the spirits to various persons for large sums of money, and the possession of them at once pointed out to whom the spirits had been consigned. After watching the removal of the spirits from- place to place, Mr. Davis proceeded to the premises of Mr. George Firmin, tar taric-acid maker, in Rupert-street, Goodman's-fields, where he found 57 carboys, containing 18 gallons each, of spirits of nitre, which he seized. He also found 36 empty carboys, which, from marks upon them, proved to have been received from the same source. He then went to the warehouse of Foote and Co., of Batterseai where he got 19 carboys of the same kind of spirits. From Foote's he, went to Price's, also, of Battersea, where he found 9 carboys more. As each seizure in some degree assisted the officer in his search, he proceeded from place to place, - with the fullest confidence. In the stable of a man named Smith, in the Maze, Tooley-street, concealed in some straw, he found 10 carboys and 2 casks of mo lasses; and from thence he proceeded to St. John's Wood.road, where, in a stable belonging to Abraham Grey, he found a similar number. At the house of a cornchandler named Thistle, in Wap. ping, he added 12 carboys to his already valuable prize, consisting of 12.5191b5. of this costly spirit, which, exclusive of duty, has been valued at no less a sum than 2,000!. Its addition to the seizure made by Mr. Davis on the premises of Foote and Co., the Board of Excise have given directions to seise the whole stock of spirits on the premises, as, from documents in the officer's possession, these parties, it appeared, have been the Principal dealers, although they only professed to carry on the bu siness of vinegar merchants. It also appeared that some time since the board received notice that a great increase of the article of nitre was on sale in the market, and sold at a much cheaper rate than:it could be legally manufactured for, but their officers Were unable to account for the fact of it being so. This defalcation of duty is now apparent, and there is every probability that the par. ties wilnoson be brought to justice. Proceedings are already commeacei against the parties for pe. ■alties to a most:enormous extent, for harbouring this illegal article. Had the duty been paid on merely what has now been seized by Mr. Davis, it would have amounted to upwards of SON. To avoid suspicion In the removal of the spirits from the dis. tillery the carboys were taken out separately, and deposited in the warehouses of a common carrier, near the City.road Basin, and from thence removed by the carrier's carts, as ordered by Bayley himself, the more securely to ensure their delivery unobserved by any district officers. To show that a visit from the Crown officers had been antici• pated, as a precautionary measure each workman employed upon the premises of the distillery was provided with a blank letter, with the exeeption of the signature of the holder, and the receipt of it was at once understood that the sender was " in trouble," or detected in an illegal act; and if either bail or money was required for his liberation, he had nothing to do but date the same, and send it to the before .named member of the legal pro. fession, when every assistance would be rendered him, the advo cate ostensibly only attending in his professional character. Other important details of this original system of smuggling will appear in a few days, comprising some of the largest firms In London. SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT. A very alarming collision, unattended with fatal conse quences, happened on the Eastern Counties line of railway at the Waltham. cross station,yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock. It appears that a truck of the goods train, due about 2 a.m., had become disabled ; this caused a stoppage on the line, and before it was finally cleared the fish train from Yar mouth, to which a second class carriage and truck with sheep, malt, kc., were attached, arrived, and were detained close to the station. The mail train, due at 5 o'clock, being now ex pected, a porter with a red light was sent down the line for near 400 yards, but from some unexplained cause the engine was.not stopped sufficiently in time to prevent its running with terrific force into the first train. The effects were the destruction of trucks containing sheep, and the overturning of the second-class carriage. There were oaly two passengers in this carriage, Captain Lawrence, R.N., a director of the Norfolk Railway, and a drover in charge of the sheep. The carriage was lifted several yards into the air, anti fell into a ditch some distance from the line. l t y shoulder i tt put e e u a t , d a sz n e d . The gallant Captain had his right is much bruised. The drover isse The engine of the mail train was completely overturned; the driver and stoker miraculously escaped without a bruise, and neither passengers nor carriages were in the least injured. Shortly after the accident Mr. Kennard, one of the Direc tors, was at the station, and sent off to London for Dr. tleaf freson, of Bartholomew's Hospital; and, in his absence, Dr. Bennett, of Finsbury-place, came down by a special train to attend upon the sufferers, who had been removed to the New Inn, r N . V ß a e i n th n a e n tt l-c p r Zounced them free from all danger and going on most favourably. The line was opened and cleared fur the train within a few hours of the accident. SERIOUS 'ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE. —lt is with extreme reg►et we have to announce the very serious illness of the Lord Bishop of Carlisle. His Lordship's indisposition commenced about ten days since. and on Tuesday morning became so aggravated as to excite the utmost alarm. A consultation of his Lordship's medical attendants, Sir John Fife, Dr. Goodfellow, and Mr. Page, we hear, was held early this morning, and it is with extreme sorrow we learn that no amendment has taken place in his Lordship's condition.—Carlisle Patrioi, Nov. 8.

No one connected with railways can shut his eyes - to the broad and staring truth, that - the cDtn-law is the greatest fee he has to battle with. At the present price of wheat one year's consump tiOn of thi nation would cost some twenty-four millions sterlieg more than it did at the prices which ruled in the market snore twelve months back. The manufacturing and trading inter. eats will no doubt suffer from the high price of wheat, and the accounts from Manchester tell us already that trade is begin ning to suffer, but the railway market suffered first and foremost. The blow was nearly as severe as if some twenty millions of money had been absolutely lifted from the pockets of the shareholders The railway market has been robbed of that amount by the corn. law. The sliding-scale is the real cause of the " falling sickness" which has attacked all descriptions of railway shares and scrips. It is the fear of high prices and the drain cf bullion which the Directori of the Bank of England anticipate to pay for food, that has caused' them to increase the rate of discount, and may cause them to-increase those rater still - more. Lett. rs of allotment in railway companies are no longer in demand. Scrips which were dealt in for the " coming out " at 31. and 41. premium are no lonker " paid upon," and when they are " come out" no money will come in. The public have shut their breeches pockets, and will not readily open them until they know what is to t-e the upshot of all the meetings and consultations of the Cabinet. We ate afraid that the do-nothing policy is for the present to be the game, but it cannot long continue, for the price of corn will soon advance, in spite of the rascally system of averages, to such a height as wit rouse the people to a sense of the iniquities of these corn and pro vision laws, and compel the Ministers to do something effectual. The English people arc slow to move ; they are animals that take a deal of kicking ; but once they really suffer from the cravings of an empty belly, they are not to be trifled with. The mischief which has been done to so many of the small shopkeepers and families of the middle classes, by the sudden depreciation of rail. way property, will increase the general dissatisfaction, and in duce the great bulk of the electoral body to clamour far free trade. Some tightness of money may be experienced at first from the change, because, in this case, as in every °tint connected with our system of Government, a bad code has been maintained against all reason and common sense, until the remedy could not be resisted from a fear of consequences. The change is thus abrupt and startling, and, like all such rapid and ungracious movements, even from bad to good, the process of transition will be attended with some difficulties; but they stand in no weight balanced against the advantages which would ensue from a repeal of the corn-laws, and by which the railway shareholder would be most signally benefited. Surely Mr. Hudson cannot hold fast to Isis pro corn-law principles, against the damning evidence of their doings, which the woe.stricken picture presented by the official share list now portrays. Discounts rule where pre miums formerly held their cheering sway, and even the ad vent of his own loyal person to the chair does not pre vent the shares of the Eastern Counties from drooping to a lower price. They were done to.day at `2O to ty, and this day last week at 2.`: to 1,. fhe holders of shares in that Company fully expected that the accession of the Member for Sunderland to their management would be at. tended with an immediate rise in the value of their shares. They looked down with pity upon the scripholders of the poor London and York line, under the leadership of Mr. Beckett Denison, and generously offered to take them under their wing by offering them a slice of the consolidatedstock which was to fill up the vacuum to be occasioned by their absorption. They have already found this beautiful vision little better than a dream, and yet, if we had been blessed with plenty of cheap food for the people, their expectations as to an advance in their:shares would very likely have been re alised. Whether the holders of the London and York scrip would hare accepted the terms of coalition offered them by Mr. Hudson is another matter, and on that point we own that oar opinion is not very confident. The House of Commons passed the Bill for a direct line from London to York by such a large majority last session, that they stand pledged to the principle, and that fact must naturally induce the promoters of the line to feel themselves of sufficient importance to fight another battle on their own account, —Chronicle.

ESCOT r, M.P., ON T ITE FAILURE OF THE PO I'ATO CROP. At the dinner of the Williton and Dunster Agricultural Association, which took place at Dunster on Thursday last 11. Escott, Esq., M.P., in the chair, that gentleman, in allusion to the failure of the potato crop, and to the measures to be adopted in consequence, spoke as fellows (we quote the report of the Somerset county Gazette) :—" At this moment, from most careful inquiries which he had made, he found that the article of potatoes formed one half of the food of the people residing in this neighbourhood.—(' No, no,' from the Rev. Mr. Ralph.) One gentleman said no, but he (Mr. Escott) had endeavoured to ascertain what the fact was.— (A Farmer—' More than half.') Ile had inquired of the large landowner, of the tradesman, of the farmer in every condition, of artificers in towns and villages, and of labourers in all classes, and the conclusion to which he had been led by those inquiries was, that one half of the food of the people consisted of potatoes.—(' You are quite right.') He would be happy if any one could prove that he was wrong, but until his worthy friend (Mr. Ralph) had denied what he had stated; he had not heardone practical man dispute the fact.—( Mr. Ralph I view the question as a national one.') It was a national question, and as such it should be viewed.—( Loud cheers.) There was a great national calamity impending, and that fact should not be stifled.—(Mr Ralph here made an observe. tion, which did not reach us.) He begged his Reverend Friend not to interrupt him. • Up to this moment he had heard no denial, except that by Mr. Ralph, of the fact that potatoes formed one half of the food of the people.—(A farmer, And more too.') One gentleman now said more,' but taking it as he (Mr. Escott) had stated, how much of that crop had been destroyed—how much of it had ceased to be food ?—(' More than three quarters.') He believed that in the whole case it would be.found that four fifths had been destroyed, rendered totally useless.—(Hear, hear.) And were they (the agriculturists) in such a state as not to be able to tell the truth ? Why, when the time came that bitter want pressed upon those who now chiefly lived upon potatoes, would those who suffered be satisfied to have the matter stifled? Would they be satisfied to hear that it was a visitation of Providence, and that all that could be done was to endeavour to avert the consequences? He was not a reasonable man who endeavoured to stifle inquiet, and the fullest inquiry, into the case.—(Cheers.) He had asked what portion of food had been destroyed, and he was toll three-fourths. He himself stated that four-fifths were nearer the mark. How, then, he asked, were those to live who had been accustomed to use potatoes to the extent. of one-half of their food, now that three fourths of that crop had: been destroyed ?—(Hear, hear.) He knew what had been done in former time=, in cases of similar emergency—he knew that in the case of the oldest nation of which we have any record, the inhabitants sent to the granaries of other countries for food. lle knew, also , that whenever the people of this:tes of t m itirlyat l b e en distressed, one o f th e principal iad distress always was the hi g h pr i ce us co of provisions in our great trading communities.—(Hear, and cheers). He advised those who heard him to consider these things; he advised those who were its the government to consider them; he advised such men as his hon. friend (Mr. Acland), than whom there were few more able or honest, he ad vised all to use the influence which rank and station, educa tion and ability, and honesty gave them, to endeavour to ct, ee d rs f . o r t e t o t e t l in g a t t e e l t o e s s e i t wh l o i a ,tv was Pin p e o imi ss id- e i r n , g io —( be L wl u r d e h ow they tampered when such an imminent danger stared them in the face.—(Enthusiastic cheering). He had said he nothing as t t e he ft n it l u tehrafattn therei e— h w e a p s ra t .s ia -e n d ge God of it; and itwas odto avert it; but madness in the government, in members of Parliament, or in the public, to shut their eyes to this fact, which was staring them in the face."—(The hon. gentleman sat down amid loud and long. -continued cheering.) A MAN SUFFOCATED IN A BREWER'S VAT.—On Tuesday a young man named Samuel Brunt, in the service of Mr. Joseph Bleackley, brewer, Downing.street, Ardwick, met with his death while assisting to cleanse a porter vat on his master's pre mises. A portion of the water in the vat had been allowed to run off, and the deceased descended into it by means of a ladder, for the purpose of stirring up the dregs at the bottom, so that they might be carried away with the remainder of the water. Immediately after this one of the other men employed in the premises heard a splash ; and on looking into the vat, saw that the deceased Lad fallen into the liquid. Attempts were instantly made to get him out, but it was found impossible to descend into the vat, in coo, sequence of the impure vapour (carbonic acid gas), and twenty minutes elapsed before he was brought to the top, a hook having been used for that purpose. Life was quite extinct. The vat had been kept closed for some time previously, after having had boiling water, and what the brewers call " bottoms," put into it far the purpose of cleansing it. At the inquest, held before Mr. Chapman, on Wednesday, the jury returned a verdict to the effect " Th at fromth e deceasedte vat." was a s He suffocated was nineteen from Ewing of f e avnr t n ndh o geoe x rr i mousugeitsne: Utter t a aio p nl o wdn u a r :: diEwvoe lived q b n i g c . h nrn:i Friday, rendon.street, flulme. —Manchester Guar dain.
