After the interview, Mr. e itt rucK directed his assistant to accompany Mr. Pearson morning over the line from the confines L_the City to Battle-bridge, so as to ascertain the precise Zujlnd of which it would be requisite to have an accurate coutnininute plan and section, for the London and Manchester Pany, c o 4 Petition by the Direct London and Manchester Railway p o r aanY to the Court of Common Council for leave to the—uust Farringdon-market for a terminus, has been by tip referred to the Improvement Committee to examine b as r e,Port and a petition for the site of the Fleet Prison %Ilia's° been presented by the London and Birmingham le Purpos e .

This unndertaking is designed to supply the wants of. an extensive, mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is ad mitted to be sufficient to: support a railway and amply remunerate the shareholders ; the line will not only accomplish so desirable an ob ject, but it also possesaes the advantage of terming a direct commu nication, by the shertest practicable route, (in connexion with exist ing and projected railways) between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. , • It is intended to commence by joining the Grvd Junction Railway at Stafford, and proceed by Uttoxeter, Rocester and Aahbonrne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber Gate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the general terminus at Amber Gate; a.short branch from Wicks worth will • connect the line with that town, and the important lime- I stone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be about forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Amber Gate, and the Derby _and Llrewe Railway at Uttoxeter, will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull, the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north-eastern part of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junc tion at Stafford with the ' Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South W ales, and by the Grand Junction Railway to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the coun. try to spew the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost-of this indispensible article of consumption will be reduced nearly one half, as this line-will tame diatela eommunicate with the Derbyshire and Staffordshire coal fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively usdd in all parts of the kingdom, and also nu merous lead smelting , ' works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and • skeet lend. It will afford an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the copper and zinc smelting' works in the neighbourkood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct comomnication with Sheffield for the articles manufactured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a distance of more than twenty miles. Already Marge cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unques tionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this railway ; large Importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fat tening on the luxuriant pasture's of the Dove, taking in return to the consuming 'districts, the corn; eheese;wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agricultural district which is intersected by this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the ironmasters give a decided preference to the limestone of the South Peak, over any other that has hitherto been tried; the very great fusibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the di latory and expensive means of transit, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all other kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at its most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but insure it a very large share of that enormous traffic, If it do not engross the whole. The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak are already very numerous. When this One, and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway, open this romantic scenery to the industrious arti zans who chiefly compose the great hives of population with which this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this ' class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, tine revenue from this sours - alone during the summer months will be found ,to be of no inconsiderable amount.

Places that had no previous trade or importance have sprung up, from the mereaccident of their vicinity to railways passing near their site, into sudden favour—into the residences of increasing populations, and the seats of rapidly accumulating opulence. All that has been fabled of the magic powers of the ring, and the lamp of Aladdin, in Oriental story, has been realised by the marvels which railway enterprise has worked from wild or neglected' tracts of country in the three kingdoms within the' last ten "years. Of` these ten years the last five-have -as much eclipsed the former in - the number, magnitude, -and results of the railroads de• signed and, accomplished, as the former surpassed in these respects the old " railed tramways of the seventeenth cen tury," described by L or d K eeper NORTH, i n 1676, as "being of immense benefit to the coal-masters of the north." A fa miliar- example of the rapid growth of these "roadside" and flourishing communities, which are still more common in Lancashire.and-Yorkshire than in the southern counties of England, is furnished• by the town of Kingston-upon-Rail 'raised like a cereal crop in a single years and in every suc ceeding year more and more expanding its dimensions over the converted pastures and meadows adjacent to the South- Western - Railway: Greenwich, from a small fishing town, repaired.. to. by the inhabitants of the me tropolis only for the beauty of its: park, and the more than royal magnificence of its Hospital, has risen : in a very few years, mainly in virtue of_ the railway established between it and London, to its present importance, nuipbering .nearly 45,000 • inhabitants, possessing a retail trade of an extent and prosperity of which it would be difficult to show any - superior example, and returning - its Members to Parlia paent. But the grandeur and importance 'of Birkenhead, with the unrivalled ,docks, basins, and . public• buildings which it possesses, its liberal 'and sanitary accommodatiOns and provision for its industrial poor,- its gigantic advancei as a. formidable rivalry to the almost imperial wealth and long established commercial consequence of Liverpool, or the oppo site shore of the Mersey—these are creatures born, as it were, but - yesterday, and already the - astonishment of Europe. They have sprung into existence, unquestionably, in_ virtue of the happy preced‘ nt of established railways in Cheshire and Lancashire. Doubtless, the natural capabili• ties for the. improvements of scientific art-were, always the same; but 'it was reserved for the establishment of so many lines of railway communication in its neighbourhood to develop them. ,With these views on . the, general subject !‘.railways," and. allowing fur the qualifications such views. ,are liable to, by reason of occasional ill-devised projects or practical failures in construction ; we confess_ that_ we are indisposed to concur in the tone „ of, alarm and deprecation respecting them which we recognise, lately, in the remarks of a morning paper on the results that may ensue from the degree of public favour extended to them. Hitherto, at whatever expense they have' been formed, the aggregate of millions in 'vested in bond fide lines now in full operation, has yielded a very handsome return of interest. The amount of accommodation for the simple objects of travelling from one part of the kingdoin to the other—the facilities for, and consequent enlargement of, the domestic and, to a great. extent, the foreign trade of the empire—the removal of pre judices—the diffusion of that knowledge and thoSe en lightened views which are the results of personal observation only, and, therefore, identified in a peculiar manner with the establishment of railroads—the enormous and economical machinery they supply to Government for the . transmission cf troops, stores, intelligence with almoit intellectual rapidity; these are' properties that would alone entitle them to that respect and patronage • which they so largely, receive from a liberal public. Now, if the prodigious sums expended on the promotion of the lines that are partially or entirely completed and work ing, have turned out to be so well invested, the fair presump tion is in faVour of a similar result attending the outlay of that capital which will be called for by the numerous pro jects thatavill, next year, be commenced out of the multitu dinous number of those announced to the public, that will' be either abandoned, or speedily relinquished, after a few steps of preliminary progress shall have been made in them. It is found - that the receipts on working lines have already so wonderfully exceeded all that was anticipated from them, that the mere surplus of the returns over the market rate of interest, represents a new and realised capital of very many millions sterling., When we reflect to how large an amount of engineering talent, and mechanical industry and labour; and landed and chattel property that had previously lain dor mant, and but for these great works must, in all probability, have continued to do so, these railway undertakings have given development, remunerating wages, and unremitting employment, we must acknowledge that domestic capital has never been more wisely or beneficially employed among us, irrespectively of the consideration of the superior profits it has earned in these applications of its productive powers- We may be thought bad political economists for 'doing so, though we should find little difficulty, we think, in .esta blishing the validity of the grounds on which our appre hensions are founded—when we confess to the painful ins• pressiona under which we regard the' immense and yet growing application of British capital to foreign railways. No temporary advantages which our countrymen may derive from investing their mosey in them can compensate for the impolitic improvidence with which we are assisting other nations to rival, with animplement suppliedhy ourselves, our own success in extending and consolidating, by means of railways, the foundations of our domestic prosperity and national grandeur. But tb devote all the energies of that iMplement•to these beneficial ends in our own country, and at the same time to impart the full benefit of their exercise in the shape of an immense outlay of remunerating wages on our own domestic labour, does Seem to us to be among the most salutary, and wise, and• permanent efforts upon which British enterprise can employ its all but boundless resources and sagacity, as well as its capital. tors.- Plans and prospectuses may. be obtained from the Solicitors, or from the following Brokers :—Willitun Le Grand, Esq.

We wish to direct the attention of our readers to a corre spondence between Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, the City Solicitor, and Mr. W. H. ASH [mar, Chairman of the Committee of City Lands, and Solicitor of the Direct London and Manchester Railway Company, which appears in another column, on the subject of providing a Central City Ter minus for all the_ great northern • lines. The sub ject is one not of mere local, but of vast national im portance. As has been justly observed by Mr. ASHURSI' in his letter to the members of the Corporation, transmitting Mr. PEARSON'S communication to himself, "the economy of time is to a man of business as important as the saving of expense in the , transit of the goods in which he deals," and at present it is a matter of universal observation; that from the distance of the stations in the outskirts of London, and the time consumed by stoppages in the streets and other accidental causes, this comparatively insignificant journey takes more time and causes more trouble than travelling on the railroad for thirty or forty miles. But not orla:' will the construction of this great Central Termintis be an economy of time—it will be an economy of money also. " The cost of cartage to the rail at Manchester and from the terminus in the outskirts to the City • amounts to more than one-sixth of the charge for the whole one hundred and-ninety-seven miles. , Upon goods .from manufacturing towns nearer to London, the proportionate expense of cart age of course tells with still greater effect." In every point . of view, therefore, as regards railways themselves, and all connected with them, whether as shareholders, passengers; or ' transmitters of goods, a Central City Terminus is a thing greatly to be desire 3. We all remember the furious opposition which, some years since, the Corporation of -• " ' London, backed by the citizens, made to every pre z ,( ,„ It oet position for bringing railways into the 'heart of the City, Their vehemence on the subject forced the rail way companies then struggling into existence to form termini in the outskirts of the City, and the citizens congra tulated themselves that they had, by their public spirit, saved themselves from the noise and smoke and dirt of railways, and preserved their city pure and uncorrupted. But now "a change has come o'er the spirit of their dream." They begin to perceive, that "where the honey is, there the bees are found"—that the termini of the rail 'Tha extension of railway enterptise continues to form one ways in the outskirts are, in fact, the centres of so many of the most remarkable and best defined features of the times, improving towns—andthat the localities in which these nil.; It is not only the number and variety of the schemes the provements take place will (if the City do not 'provide it- . vast magnitude of the capital required 'for their execution — self with s i m ilar accommodation) speedily • draw around the spirit With which the most expensive Preliminaries are them business es tablishments ,Of every description, and embarked upon long before that stage of Progiees has been will ultimately drain from the City a large portion of attained • which, under ordinary circumstances, would alone the trade, which, if -it be allowed a fair start in Seem to justify such an outlay—the facility with which the 'the race of improvement; its central :situation and great landowners, on the • lines of projected railways,. are existing commercial pre-eminence will infallibly secure. now induced to patronise a ,class of undertaking's to, So that, for their own sakes the citizens of London which , they were formerly opposed, almost to a imau, will no longer oppose a propoiition which is fraught' not with uncompromising hostility=it is not one, or any, only with benefit to - the community at large, but Or the whole of these circumstances, which consti. which must be also of incalculable advantage to tiites' the most notable • aspect - that , these undertakings 'themselves; besides, the Success of the atmospheric principle present.

If these companies obtain termini in the City the other railways must do the same thing, and we may shortly expect to hear of the Great Western extending their line . from Paddington to London. The sooner they do so the better. Madrid journals of the 13th have been received. The ac counts from the provinces relative to the collection of the new income-tax are very favourable—the contributions coming in with wonderful punctuality. At several places, among others Barcelona and Falset, earthquakes had been felt, and at the latter place the inhabitants became so frightened that they repaired to the church in crowds and offered up prayers for the preservation of the place. No public transactions took place on'the Bourse. 1 . According to the official FrenCh journal, the public anxiety respecting the movements of ABD-EL-K ADER had • much abated. No new attack of importance had been made, and General LAMORICIERE had, by great exertion and dis patch, sent troops to those quarters where any hostile ope rations might be expected. That journal contains the follow ing extract from 'a letter on the subject, dated Algiers, Oct. 10 :—" The accounts 'from Oran are more favourable. The rebellion seems to be fur the present confined to rather a narrow circle, or between the four sides of the 'square formed by the sea, the Tafna, the parallel to the sea running through Tlemcen and Lana 'Maghroia, and the frontier of Morocco. This kreat movement, the commencement of which had been marked but by disasters,' had struck everybody, and demo ralised the bulk of the people of this . city ; the Marshal's absence from Algeria, and - that of General DR LAeORICIERE 1 from the province of Oran, were real - and serious causes of anxiety. .Confidence -has now revived. ABD-EL- KADER7 after being bold and skilful, has stopped and hesitated, either spontaneously, or owing to the -nature of the army he com mands, and has not gone on with decision. Time has been for us, and now the evil will not increase. On arriving at Oran; General DE LAMORICIERE has assembled about him some isolated corps; the towns or posts are sheltered against any serious attacks, and the General in }person was, on the sth instant, in front of ABD-EL-KADER, ready to combat him wherever he might move. We await with impatience the arrival of the. Marshal, and of troops from France." The domestic news in the Paris papers is generally without interest. According to accounts . from St. Petersburg, the custom-houses between Russia. and Russian Poland were .to be removed at.the commencement of the new year, so that for the future there will be a free commercial intercourse be tween the two countries. The Journal des Debats publishes - at length the address of the Municipality of Berlin to the KING, relative to the German Catholic Church, with his MAJESTY'S reply..-. We have already published an outline of these documents, and find little new in the Kneo's answer, .except his, manifest disapprobation of the step 'taken by the magistrates, and a bitter reproof for tl es lukewarmness hitherto in the cause of Protestantism. ." I must deny," said he, " that the civic authorities have any right to mix indi rectly or directly in the affairs of the Evangelical National Church ; but I willingly concede to them a moral competency if they had fulfilled in an eminent degree their duties, as patrons of the: churches, if they had manifested, under other circumstances, the same interest for church mat ters, and had, above all, religiously maintained the bond of Protestant brotherhood. But, gentlemen, with my hand on my heart, it is not possible for me to recognise these more attributes in the Court of Aldermen. Cast a glance at the spiritual condition of our city. In no city, great or small, of our country, is the care of souls so ill provided for. One almost incredible but true circumstance must be particularly placed under view. It is, that under FREDERICK WILLIAM 1., when the city reckoned between 50,000 and 70,000 inhabit ants, the number of pastors not proportionally but strictly numerically, was more considerable than it is to-day, with 400,000 inhabitants in Berlin." .

Clark, and the damag ing influence of the change of ownership and the expected change of stables on his position in the market, we mentioned in our last. Some warm discussions we hear took place in consequence at the West-end, and it was obvious yesterday at the Corner that the sale had created a very unfavourable im pression, insomuch that, up to five o'clock, it was impossible to say what The Baron's price was, or whether, in fact, he was in the betting at all. Seven to one was then taken in fifties, and we believe at that figure one or two parties were disposed to invest. Shortly after Mr. Clark entered the room, and addressing the members, informed them that he had bought The Baron of Mr. Watts, and that he had given " a fortune" for him, but that as he had neither laid against or backed him for a shilling, he should not start him unless 12,000/. to 1,0001. was laid him, and adding that he was oflll.turfer.be ClarkTiiedißdanroont Baron's trainer, d eal t t ey e d a dhn excessive (e, thateuttetsnysndi clearlyterminated, hei nisaagainst tendernessed t proceedings h 6 a and i h h d e e f;o s ß l rt i w o oao u r hu d nwel s d a a o s. nnl a oda s tAi dal fttbr to eee6rl four layers, he closed. This was not the only "feature." Early in the afternoon, Mr. Greville begged it might be distinctly and publicly understood that he had not, in the least, .made" up his mind whether he should start Alarm or not, that he had not betted a shilling about him either one way or the s as will is other, and that the probability was he would not run, that preparedl w b oa l r u t i uhf go vernedhihs veiheetlaiigsbnrheyottu nsrilon intimated put t o down who the in the public might now do as they liked about backing his horse, but if he did not start they must not complain. Mr. Greville, we are informed, adopted this step in consequence of several parties, amongst them some of the anti-Baronites having, at, their own risk, backed Alarm so heavily, in short, literally " skimmer" the market, that neither himself nor his friends were able to get on upon anything like fair 'or reasonable terms. The consequence of this declaration was to send Alarm to a nominal quotation of 9to 1. The excite ment that prevailed throughout the afternoon made it more than ordinarily difficult to fix the prices of the other horses in betting; our list, however, will be found pretty nearly the mark, and we need only add to it, that the most promi nently in demand were.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were about 5,000 bags, of which speculators took 2,000. There was no change in prices, 250 Surat went at 3d. to 3%d. ; 50 Fermin at 7d. ; 50 Maranham at 6d. to bid. ; and 4,650 American at 3td. to sd. per lb. Shares were flat, and prices lower. The panic anticipated, and worked into expectant form by the Times has yet to be demonstrated. Thing 3 this morning look brighter; and confidence is more apparent. For any one to have imagined that a moiety of the new. schemes started lately would be broughtbefore Parliament in the next session were a pure absurdity, but still our contemporary appears to think that such will be the case, when so large an amount as 50,000,000/. is stated to be required for the necessary Par liamentary deposits. If the sum to be deposited be so lafge, so much the better, as it shows, at least, that the people of this country have an amount of capital at command, that cannot be equalled by the population of any other kingdom in the world. As to bubble schemes, the sooner, they are rooted out of the market the better • and a panic among this class of projects would prove - a benefit, not an injury. Wo are pleased to observe a decidedly better feeling in the Stock markets to-day, and a reaction upwards, which, we trust, will become strengthened as the public make them selves better acquainted with the views of the panic -mongers, viz., to take advantage of a rush by sellers in order to cAne in cheap, and profit by the subsequent "restoration of confi dence. Consols have been 96% to 97 1 4 for present.transfer, and 97% to 97% for Account.

IN RE PAPPS. This insolvent,. who had- carried on - business • as a coal merchant in Kennington-oval, came up for an interim o r d er , and was opposed on behalf o f M r . Langley, a surgeon, for a debt of 25/. The ground of opposition, was, that the insolvent's debts only amounted to 179/., to meet which lie had' an income of 140/. a year, arising out of funds in the Four per Cents. The creditor's solicitor said it was quite absurd to argue that a person situated like the insolvent was entitled to relief under the Act. The insolvent said he had been driven to the present course through the proceedings of Mr. Langley, whose debt amounted only to a little mere than 201. He (insol vent) bad accepted an accommodation bill for 101., which 41 - Langley was to have taken up, but bad not done so. Mr. _ Langley then pressed him to become security for a loan society, which he declined. A breach of friendship had re sulted, and Mr. Langley had brought an action. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked the insolvent whether he was disposed to make any proposition for the payment of his debts? The insolvent said he really could:not, for, in the first instance he had not received any money under the trust, and the trustees anticipated great difficulty in obtaining it, and that even when obtained, it would belong to his wife. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, as there was no disposi tion to meet the case fairly, he should dismiss the petition. THE POTATO DISEASE. TO THE EDl7'o l t OF THE SUN. Sin,—A farmer in this neighbourhood who had a bury of about fifty sacks of potatoes, discovered that they bad been attacked with the prevailing epidemic. To such an extent had the ravages of the disease prevailed, that only six bags out of the lot were thought worth saving, and these (being more or less affected), he sold .o a tradesman of this City for pigs. This latter gentleman bad them emptied into an out house, which was dry, and to which there was a free access of air, and in a very short time he found that the diseased parts were completely dried up, and the remainder ht for culinary purposes. This suggests the propriety of keeping the potato out of the clamp, and in places where there is free ventilation; and I trust this communication will be attended to ,by potato Sc.,wers, who have the accommodati on o f barns, out-houses, Sz to enable them to try the experiment.—Yours,;&e. Worcester, Oct. 20, 1845. P. To-day is the fortieth anniversary of the last of Nelson's great battles—the battle of Trafalgar. It says little for the gratitude of the inhabitants of London that, while in so many provincial towns monuments have been flit -twenty or thirty years erected, forty years after his death the monu ment in Trafalgar-square is still unfinished. A woodcock was shot in the parish of Ilalwell, near Totness, on Tuesday, the 7th inst.— Western Times. DRINKING FOR - A WAGER.--On Tuesday a per son called Thomas Lister, a shoemaker, living at Barneslcy, un dertook, fora trifling wager, to drink two quarts of ale and a pint of rum in ten minutes, which he accomplished, but was so ill after, that a surgeon was obliged to be sent for, and narrowly saved his life by the application of the stomach-pump. —Leeds Intelligencer. SIIAKING A WOMAN IN A SACK.-- At the Black burn Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Sylvester Whalley, Thomas Taylor, William Whitehead, and George Heap were charged by Mary Pollard with having shaken her in a sack. All the parties were employed at the print-works of Mr. Hargreaves, at Broad Oak, Accrington. The complainant stated that on Monday week a person who had previously courted her had got married, when the defendants, who worked in the same room in the mill as her self, came up to her, and said, as she had " lost her chap," they would shake her in a bag if she would not pay them tome money for drink. She refused to comply with their request, when Heap got hold of her, and Taylor found a sack, and they at"Rirced her into it, and shook her. Her person was very indeeelitly exposed while she was being forced into the sack. The defendants ad mitted having committed the offence, and said in extenuation, that the complainant had laid hold of one of them by the neck and tried to kick him. The magistrates expressed their surprise at the cowardly nature of the assault, and the pitiful excuse offered, and fined each of the defendants in the penalty of 20s. and costs. The defendants expressed themselves very dissatisfied at this de cision, as "shaking in the bag" was a custom on such occasions as that referred to by the complainant, whereupon the magistrates re.. called them, and increased the fine to 50s. and costs, and ordered them to find two sureties to keep the peace for twelve months. Subsequently, however, at the intercession of Mr. Hargreaves, who pleaded the ignorance of the defendants and the custom spoken of, and on the defendants declaring their contrition for the offence they had committed, the penalty was mitigated to 20e. each and costs. —Halifax Guardian. A RAILWAY CASE DECIDED WITH RAILWAY SPEED. —Yesterday morning a youth, named John Silvester, was charged before the mayor with having stolen a carpet bag, containing a variety of articles of wearing apparel, the property of the Rev. Matthew Henry Farm, of Shirley, Croydon, Surrey. The rev. complainant said that, upon the evening of the 7th inst., he arrived by a train at the London railway station in this town, on his way to Laucaater. On alighting from the carriage he placed his carpet bag upon the platform while he went to look for his portmanteau, and on his return he found it was gone, and had seen nothing of it till that morning, when it was pointed out to him in the possession of Mr. Inspector Edmonds. Inspector Edmonds stated that on the evening of the Bth inst., from information he had received, he apprehended the prisoner in New Summer-street, and found upon him part of the property that had been stolen. The carpet bag and the remainder of the articles claimed by Mr. Ferrer were found at the prisoner's lodgings. Alter hearing the above evidence, and the property having been identified, the pri soner was committed to the sessions, then being held, and in less than two hours he was Nought before the Learned Recorder, and having pleaded guilty to the charge, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour.—Birmirighaile Journal, Oct. IS. THE RECENT SECESSIONS FROM THE -lIE RCII.— We are enabled to correct one or two misstatements which have appeared in several of our contemporaries respecting the recent secessions to Rome. It is not, as has been reported, Mr. and Mrs. Crawley, of Littlemore, who have gone over to the Itomaritatholio Church with Mr. Newman, but Mr. and Mrs. Woodmason, also residents of that place, who, with some of the membeis of their family, have taken that step. Again, the resignation of Mr. Rogers, Fellow of Oriel, has, we believe, been erroneously connected whh ecclesiastical circumstances. On the other hand, we under. stand that the Rev. EJgar Estcourt, M. A., of Exeter College (a nephew of the lion.. Member for the University), has withdrawn from his college, with a view to enter the Roman Catholic Church. We understand also, that a clergyman and member of Oriel Col. lege has resigned his living with a similar intention. The Oxford Herald, of Saturday, corrects a statement which has appeared in the English Churchman and ether papers, to the effect that Mr. Newman was received by Dr. Gentili, of Loughborough; whereas it was Dr. Dominick, Superior of the Passionist Monastery, at Aston.hall, In Staffordshire, under whom Mr. Newman made his profession; and the admission took place, not at Oscott, but, as we originally stated, at Littlemore, where Mr. Newman has long [e -1 sided in strict retirement. —Post.

TUE CIRCUIT OF TUB 'BUSSES.—The City omni buses are still going the circuit. Business with them has been very dull, for persons.who are in a hurry to get from Piccadilly to the Haymarket do not like being carried round the Regent's Park, whilst an excursion into Holborn and Covent -garden is not found, upon trial, to be the shortest cut from Temple-bar to the Bank'. Several old 'gentlemen, who are 01 the habit.bf riding U. the City every morning, have adopted the plan of getting out of the omnibus at Fetter-line, and waiting for it as it conies into Its usual track again at l'arringdon-street. During this lora interve 1 of time they quietly take their breakfasts ; and on their returt, home they dine. This arrangement of tilling up a tedious hour has.become so popular that most of the omnibuses base been obliged to adopt the theatrical system of giving checks to persons who go out and intend to come in again ; and it is now usual for a cad to ask of every passenger who steps out, 14 Do you return, Sir This plan will kept up as long as the exhibition of the sewers continues open in Fleet street f rom morning to dusk.-- ,iPtir,lah:itie'rpttoaliNce...,--zaLIS,EO.itSE-13 POT ATO' /. ti Saturday potatoes which were EgPtolliis:l-t -f ity cart;loads of o!' . uutit for huinan .. food.' . 1116 o o the mayor and other magistrates . - ‘ by i di . .4 1 44-Ktalicies Were Ordered to he foritecl; ,- an first offender fined 20s.
