SECRETARY—D. I. Noad, Esq. Offices, Broad-street-buildings. At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the 241 day of Oaolyer, 1545, It was unanimously resolved, First —That the East India Railway Company was formed In the spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of railways into India. Se , _•ond—That the promoters of the undertaking :abstained from adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape, on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway which should be seicoted by , Government, with the ulterior exten sions and developmenticonsequent upon it. Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last, accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer taining the views of the local Governmont, prior to the final arrange ments for commencing operations. Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of - several years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that, subject to any unforscen circumstances, the line from Calcutta to the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the first conisumication with the Government, the selection beingleft to the Government. _ _ . Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various projects have been announced to the public tin constructing railroads in ♦Vestern India, some of them forming part and portion of the scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de sign of Goverment. Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the benefit of their original scheme in its full integrity. Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of its being essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten millions, by the issue of new shares. _ . _ . Eighth—That 120,000 shares of 501. each be created, en Which a deposit of Ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000 shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the Scr!p already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share; and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be found advantageous ibr the interests of the undertaking. Nint!4—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News papers, for the information of the Proprietors and the public. GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman In confdrmity with the above arrangement it is requested that all holders of scrip desirous of availing themselves of the above provi sions, do send in their serip on or before the 20th November next, accompanied by an application addressed to the Secretary in the fol lowing farm:— To the Provisional Commlttee of the East Indian Railway Company, Gentlemen—l hand you herewith Scrip (or Banker's receipt :for deposit on) Shares in the East Indian Railway Company, in respect of which I request you to allot me my proportion of the new issue of Shares, and I hereby agree to pay the deposit of ss, per Share upon the same, and to sign such deeds as may be required in respect of such new issue.

EXPENIMENTS IN WOOLWICH MARSHES, OCT. 24. Colonel Lacy, Director of the carriage department in the Royal Arsenal, Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieut.- Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, Assis tant Director-General of Artillery. Lieutenant-Colonel Har dinge, K.II , Lieutenant-Colonel Colquboun and Captain Palliser, of the Royal Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Barney, Commandant of the Royal Engineers; Brigade-Major Sand ham and Captain Wynne, Royal Engineers, assembled in the Marshes at two o'clock, P.M., to witness experiments with a newly. erected one-gun battery, constrncted, under the superintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Barney, on a principle suggested b' Colonel Abbot. The battery was made 10 feet in thickness, by about 21 feet in front, and 8 feet high, with the embrasure faced with stone inside, into which was -.fixed an iron bolt attaching a traversing platform 16 feet 'long, on which an 8-inch gun on a ship or garri,on carriage was mounted. The base of the embrasure is very high, on Colonel Abbott's principle, being within half an inch of the under part of the gun when run out for firing, and directed against an o bj e ct a b ou t s i x f ee t hi g h a t e5O yards' range. The siring took,place with hollow S inch shells, weighing 4elb. and Sell., end the charges of powder were in the first instances 811 e, and afterwards 101 b. to each round, and the last shell fired burst from the effect of the large charge, although it did not contain any explosive meterials inside the metal of w hi c h it was form e d. 17 rounds were fired into the mound, anti the shortest recoil of the gun and carriage on the platform was 6 feet 1 inch, the whole giving an average recoil of 7 feet fl} inches. The masonry of the embrasure appeared to answer very well and proved very secure. The wheels of the traversing platform are supported on circular pieces of iron screwed down upon wood imbedded in the earth, similar to railway sleepers and about the same dimensions. The other parts of the ground are left in the usual state, with a small quantity of sand and gravel packed upon it to render it dry. The experiments were concluded for the day at four o'clock, NEW UNIVERSITY MOVEMEN T —We hear th a t an influential body of nobl emen and gentlemen, among whom ' are Lords Ashley, Sand on , and ie.

Before he went to the Empress he visited Field Mar shal Radetsky, commander-in chief of the Austrian forces in Lombardy, but the marshal was not at home. The Emperor, who wished to preserve a strict incognito, went away, de siring that the marshal should not be disturbed, saying that he well knew that there was only the extra Austrian colonel at Milan. The Empress, who, on reaching the Lake of Como, was perfectly unacquainted with the sudden resolution of the Emperor to come to her be fore her arrival at Palermo, had remained at Milan much longer than she at first intended. She arrived on the 14th with the Grand Duchess Olga, and was received with the warmest welcome by the Archduke Viceroy and his Archduchess. She has inspected all the public establish ments, and has been present at an extraordinary represen tation at the Scala theatre. When she was quitting the theatre, the audience applauded her. Th 3 Emperor passed with surprising velocity through Germany, against which country he is greatly irritated, Bavaria, in particular, has excited his discontent by the articles in the Augsburg Ga• zettc, which have given such precise details on the late events in the Caucasus, and reflections on the religious persecutions exercised in the Polish and German provinces against the Roman Cathblics and the Protestants. There fore, he would not pass through Munich, but came by the Valley of the Inn and the Lake of Conic to Milan. This sudden appearance of the Emperor Nicholas has produced a lively sensation throughout Germany. The Emperor, on his pelt, has had his mind so much disturbed by the re ligious movements and liberal tendencies manifested in Germany, that he expected to meet at every point with fanatics and assassins, and took every precaution to conceal his journey, having horses ordered at each relay for four dif ferent roads. Throughout his passage he was not once re cognised. The Emperor and Empress left Milan on the 18th for Genoa, where were already arrived the King and Queen of Sardinia, and Prince Albert of Prussia, the Empress's brother. Their Imperial Majesties are lodged in a palace assigned to them by the King of Sardinia. The Empress appears to be much fatigued by her journey. She had in tended to go by land from Genoa to Naples, because a sea voyage is injurious to her health, but the Emperor is said to be averse to it, from his unwillingness to traverse the Roman States, on account of his differences with the Papal Court. It is to be feared that this voyage by sea, at this season of the year, may injuriously affect the health of the Empress. It is by a Russian steamer, which has just come to an anchor in the port of Genoa, that their Majesties will proceed to Palermo. It is believed that the Emperor will not stay more than a month with the EmpresQ, and that on his return he will visit the Emperor of Austria at Vienna. Count Nessel rode quitied the Emperor on the road, and went to the Aus trian capital, whence he will proceed to Rome, and there, as it is said, remain two or three months." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the Continental papers : The Civil Tribunal of the Seine was occupied on Wed nesday with the adjourned suit of Count Leon, natural son of the Emperor Napoleon, against his mother the Countess de Luxbourg, demanding from her a pension of 6,000 f. for his support. .It may be remembered that this affair was brought on last week, and postponed to allow the counsel of the de• fendant to take cognisance of a nuthber of documents ad duced by the plaintiff in support of his case. Amongstothers were letters from General Bertrand, Count de Las Lases, and M. Marchand, declaring that at St. Helena the Emperor had frequently spoken of the plaintiff in kind terms, and in his will had left a sum of 300,0001. to purchase him an estate. A great number of receipts were also put in and read, showing that the Count, when in prosperity, had for years accorded provisions to the Countess, to her sister, Mlle. Zulma de Laplagne, and to the first husband of the Countess. One receipt also ackowledged a sum of 25,000 f. paid to the Countess herself. The Countess at present lives with her husband at Manheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden. Her acone M. Delorme, demanded a further postponement on the ground that M. Marie, her anocat, was absent. This was opposed by the other party, on the ground that the required delay was only a part of the system of tactics adopted by the defendant in the suit ; the matter, he said, was in reality too urgent to admit of further postponement, and the proofs of the Count's being the defendant's son, on which the whole suit rested, were so clear that any delay was uncalled for. The avotte of the defendant argued, at great length, that the acte de naissance produced by Count Leon did not, and could not, in any way refer to the Countess; but, on the other aide, a letter was produced in her own handwriting, in which she repeatedly named him her son, and spoke of him with great interest. In addition, another letter, dated Oct. 14, 1845, was put in from the mo ther of the Countess, now living with her at Manheim, in which the plaintiff is named her dear grandson," and the Countess de Luxbourg is called his " mother." The letter which implores the plaintiff to terminate the dissensions existing in the family is signed "your affectionate grand mother." The Court decided that from the evidence there could be no doubt that Count Leon was certainly the son of the Conntess de Luxbourg; and that, as the case was urgent, all delay ought to be refused, and that the pleadings must be proceeded with at once. As no person appeared for the defendant, the Court condemned the Countess de Lux bourg by default to pay her son, Count Leon, an alimentary pension of 6,000 fr. a-year. " The Chambre de Vacations was on the same day occu pied with an appeal brought to a decision of the Civil Tri bunal of the Seine, delivered on May 18, 1845, against Mrs. Wise, the daughter of the Prince de Canino (Lucien Bona parte). This lady, who is separated from her husband, owed in 1839 to her agent, M. Bernard de Mourcourt, a sum of 2,200 fr., fur which she passed him a promissary note, due December, 1840. The money, however, was not paid at that period, and the note remained in M. de Mourcourt's possession until November, 1844, when he ceded it to M. Evette. This latter, having applied ineffectually to the Princess for the money, brought an action against her, and she was condemned to pay the amount and costs. An appeal was lodged by her, on the ground that the account of in terest was erroneously drawn up, but the Court decided that no grounds whatever existed for the appeal, and accordingly confirmed the former judgment. The following changes have been made in the Consular department. M. Limperane, Consul at Civita Vecchia, is removed to the Consulate at Venice: M. Sauveur Lacha • pelle, Consul at Ostend, succeeds M. Limperaine at Civita Vecchia; and M. de Frauqueville, late Consul at Venice, takes the place of M. Sauveur Lachapelle at Ostend. The Duke de Palmella arrived at Havre on Wednesday, from Paris, to embark for Lisbon in the English steamer, the North Star, which had come to Havre from London ex pressly for that purpose.

DEATII IN TEE WESTMINSTER lIOUSE OF Cox- REcnoN.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the 'Westminster House of Correction (late Bridewell), on the body of Mary Davis, aged 19, a prisoner. The deceased was received into the prison on the 20th of May last, having been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions of larceny, and sen tenced to six calendar months' imprisonment. Mr. John Davis, the prison surgeon, said that the deceased first came under his notice on the sth inst., having been seized with a fit of epilepsy during the night. He then found that she was in a pregnant state, and near the period of her confine ment. Every attention was paid to her, and on the follow ing day she was delivered of a dead male child. She re mained in an unconscious state until the 9th, when she ral lied, and appeared to be getting better until the 14th, when she suffered a relapse. She continued to gradually sink, and expired on Thursday morning from disease of the brain, brought on by convulsions. Verdict, " Natural Death." The Right Hon. C. W. W. Wynn, M.

'MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, without any change in prices. Shares were without alteration. The letters received this morning from Liverpool, Man chester, and Bristol (the principal Provincial Railway Share Markets), state that the apprehended storm had passed over, or nearly so, without having led to those disastrous results that have been so eagerly sought for by the Times, so that its prophecy of a certain panic might be fulfilled. There is more caution displayed among the holders of, and dealers in, Shares everywhere, thanks to the Bank of England notes, and not attributable to the warnings of our Morning contemporary to task the limit of exciting apprehensions in the hands of the holders of Rail way Shares, at second thought, and after the Directors of the Bank of England had decided upon an increase in the value of money. " Let all bubble schemes sink," is the opinion of all respectable parties in the City, but the Times attempts to deal its thunder against all, so that if right in a few iso lated cases, it may claim the right of saying, in allusion to putting an end to reckless speculation, " We did it all." There are accounts from Hobart Town and Launceston to the middle of June. The most material fact stated in the papers received at the North and South American Coffee-house is, that the markets for wheat were advanc ing. The state of public credit had improved. The weekly return of the Bank of England up to the 25th inst. shows the following changes as compared with the items of the last statement : A decrease in the circulation of 289,8651, or to 27,778,9551• An increase in the rest of 48,6354 or to 3,188,641/. A decrease in the Public Deposits of 4,294,5561., or to 4,488,419/. But in other Deposits there is an increase of 1,360,748/., or to 9,835,604/. In the item of 7 days', Bills, there is a slight increase only, or to 1,123,843/. In other Securities, the decrease is 1,084,437!, or to 14,049,529/. In the notes in the Banking Department there is a decrease from 7,037,600/. to 5,525,510►. As in the total operations of the Bank, a decrease of 2,842,5361, or to 33,189,507/. The stock of bullion by the last return was 14,580,6541., and by the present 14,190,285/. ; decrease 390,3691. The monthly returns from the Private and Joint-stock Banks, &c., show an increase in the gross circulation of promissory notes of 660,1124 or to 10,261,3641. A more marked fall has occurred in the Funds this morn ing than we have had occasion to notice lately. Money stock is most abundant. Consols have fallen rapidly from 97 to 9614, and for Account from 97 1 4 to 96%; both are now Ai to % per cent. higher. Reduced Three per Cents. are down to 95%, and the Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. to 99% 7 1 1 3 . Exchequer Bills have been sold at 395. to 41s. premium. India Stock fell early in the day to 263, but rallied again to 265., Bank Stock opened the same as yesterday, viz., at 205%. The Foreign Funds in which bargains were made to-day have been sold lower than yesterday. The Portuguese Con verted are :only at 57i ; Spanish at 25i ; the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at 57i 58; Mexican at 30i ; and Brazilian at 78. The Railway Share Market has been a scene of perfect confusion to-day. To attempt to analyse the fluctuatLns is a matter of impossibility.. There are many speculative sellers anxious to take advantage of lower rates to come in. The official list will give the variation. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

A1 44 T11151 01 - LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1845. The last intelligence from Buenos Ayres supplies some traits, not altogether unlooked for, of the extreme obstinacy and cunning of Roses. On the other hand, the contest between the rival Republics of Buenos Ayes and Monte Video (to employ the designations by which they are most generally known in this coun try) presents a complication of interest and difficul ties which is every way remarkable. In infant states the rights of nations, except perhaps in their broadest and simplest principles, are as little understood—or respected, at least, which is the point to our present pur pose—as the rights of individuals. On this account, it was to be expected that the nature of such an armed in tervention by England and France as is now in progress, in the hostile relations of the two great States of the Rio Plata, would be but slowly comprehended by either, whenever its action happened to interfere with the pre tensions or expectations of the one or the other. And just this sort of result bas, accordingly, ensued. The war, on the part of the two republican armies, had been conducted for some time with a degree of reckless violence and studied brutality from which the humanity of civilisa tion ever revolts. The siege of Monte Video, in par- icular, will stand for ever infamously distinguished in the annals of remorseless cruelty. These barbarous excesses, and the outrages committed on the property, the liberty, and even the lives of various British and French subjects in Buenos Ayres itself, or the republican territory, at length attracted the attention of the two greatest powers of Europe. They remonstrated, were cajoled by Roses, remonstrated again, and were insulted in the persons of their representatives, by their obscure but successful adventurer, under circumstances of the most intolerable aggravation. In: dealing with these it must be admixted that the Ministers of the two Great Powers, proceeded, in their laudable desire to prevent the further effusion of blood between the belligerents, and the more extensive disorganisation of the commer cial relations between South America and Europe, to the extremest verge of moderation. Their motives were underetood. The President, Dictator of Buenos Ayres, assumed a still more insufferable tone of arrogance in his communications with them, and fresh assassinations and outs ages committed on the persons of British-born subjects (as in the case of a whole Scotch family of eight or nine persons assassinated in mid-day, and neither detected, nor very earnestly looked after by the Buenos Ayrean authorities), completed the measure of these " Argentine " transgressions. The declaration of Buenos Ayres toy the commanders of the French •and English squadrons being in a state of blockade Was held out to Rows us the inevitable alternative of his persisting in the siege of Monte Video. This siege he was required instantly to raise, and to withdraw his troops under General ORIBE from the territories of Monte Video ad jacent to the Rio Grande. Both of these demands b e ing refused, the alternatives were immediately pro cee led upon by the French and English authorities. The blockade has been rigorously established. The whole fleet of Buenos Ayres has been seized. But from the land side Monte Video may be still considered as invesried by the forces of ORIBE , who ke pt the field at the date of the last adsices, and was likely still to do so; because-e--as one of the letters pithily remark—" the two admirals, though supreme by water, are very weak by land." Erom the nature of the country to be traversed, in order to get at ORIBE'S forces, a considerable land expedition, on the ordinary calculations of European warfare between European troops, would, undoubtedly, be required. But we have a strong confidence that the " 240 marines" who had already landed at Monte Video (we presume they are British), will with the accustomed gallantry and spirit of that admira ble corp , s, give a good account of any band, however numerically superior, which they are likely to encounter. In the 'meanwhile we must do that justice to the fore sight and sagacity of our own Government and com manders, of which the smallness of our aggregate flotilla, and of the several war craft comprising it, now in the waters 4 . the Plata, on the first statement of them, induced us to form a too disparaging es timate. Our armed brigs and schooners will be able to run much further up the main stream sand someof its tributaries, when necessary, than larger-classed Frei ch. ships ; and the habits and experience acquired by their crews during various periods of cruising service are precisely those which it -was essential that the men to be employed in the expeiltion against Buenos Ayres itself, or the forces commanded by the partizans of Roses, should possess. From the: extreme difficulty of conducting such opera • tions in a region everywhere intersected by the lagunes, rivers, and sterile " pampas" that in tervene hetween that country nearest to the landing point of any boating expedition on the Rio Plata, and the land defences of Buenos Ayres, it is highly probable that these operations may be long protracted. But the Monte-Videan flotilla of boats, being now free from all molestation by the cruisers of Buenos Ayres (which are in the safe keeping of the combined squadron), will be able to keep up supplies, and organise convoys with out much hazard, in a country which, wild as it is, is very scantily peopled. hoses, we per ce i ve , b y a re fi nemen t o f hi s character isticoptinioncrsa"ftbiy the die ness' stiuseandaetatevnotuiroin he endeavouring tois now, w so in"g tardilyol en paying to British merchants and traders, the compatriots of those whom he had before so habitually maltreated and domineered over. And we must say we are rather grieved at the extreme facility with which some of them have fallen into so palpable a snare. They talk, not only in the memorial they have addressed to Lord ABERDEEN—but in the private letters, from which we published extracts yesterday—of the interference of France and England in the disputes between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, on account of the wrongs, real or imaginary (! !), inflicted by the latter Republic on the former, as if it were a most uncalled-for and ill advised interference. But here is the " met de renigme.' , " The local political affairs of the country," writes one correspondent from Buenos Ayres, "do not concern us so long as we are amply protected." This is to claim too much for themselves in their character of simple merchants or foreign settlers. They ought to know that, together with their indefeasible allegiance, they carry all over the world an indefeasible nationality ; and that in respect of the superior gravity of these two , properties, to any simple personal rights so far as those rights are affected, only, and directly, by their residence in a foreign state, their first duty, as well as liability, is to conform to whatever sacrifices that allegiance and that nationality exact of them. Now the protection of their flag has been insulted by ROSAS; and to the startling and infatuated declaration of the same correspondent, that he and the other British residents in Buenos Ayres "have hitherto been amply protected," we can only oppose the remonstrances of the merchants addressed to Mr. MANDEVILLE and Mr. GORE OUSE LEY, successively ; the treatment of General O'BRIEN ; the murderous atrocities of the Masorca Club ; the (till now) undisguised hostility of ROSAS, openly de clared, to all British commerce and British merchants ; and the facts of spoliation, forced contributions, confisca tions, arrests, and imprisonments, and the total extinction of their commerce between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, avowedly exercised for so long a period by Roses and his creatures against our fellow-countrymen, wher ever he could find them within his clutches. All the other young republics of South America are profoundly interested in this affair. Their prosperity and advance ment must,be held to be identified with the bringing Roses to reason, and depriving him—in the mildest alternative —of all future power to insult the dignity and honour of European Powers in peaceful relations with his state, and to scandalise humanity and Christendom by a fero cious deportment and a wanton shedding of human blood, and a detestable sporting with human suffering, such as would have disgraced even the superstitious cruelty of some aboriginal chieftain of the countries he rules over. We understand that not a few members of the " Col lective Wisdom " look forward to the meeting of Par liament with fear and trembling. Never at any former period were the representatives of the people subjected to such labour as during the last session. Almost every active Member, not etempted by office or ages was engaged in some railroad Committee or another- Frequently from fifteen to twenty-five Committees were sitting at a time, commencing their work at an early hour for men engaged, often till one or two o'clock in the morning, on legislative duties, sitting till the House again resumed business, and frequently prolonged be yond that hour, with the hope of clearing off the frightful accumulation that daily poured in, and even then a great deal was left unfinished, or lines of importance hurried through without mature deliberation. But even these were the least of the evils. They neither could do justice to their representatives, nor take care of their own health, and the consequence was, that a greater mortality ensued among Members than had been known for any year, perhaps, during the last half cen tury. But the labour of last session was nothing com pared with that which the ensuing promises. Railways, it would appear, are only commencing. There are now twenty projected lines for one brought forward at any former period, many of them too will be more difficult to arrange, because there are more jarring interests ; there are direct competing lines in considerable num bers, not a few which will, more or less, interfere n ith the profits of those already constructed, and conse• quently the time and labour necessary to investigate these circumstances, and come to a fair decision—just alike to the community and to those who had risked their property in these vast undertakings—will pro bably be increased tenfold. The Members eligible for Committees may well tremble, therefore, at the gloomy prospect, and try to invent some expedients for lightening such an amount of labour. Possibly this session the Irish division may become more tractable. Ireland is now to be intersected with rail ways as well as England and Scotland, and it is only fair that the repealers should make themselves useful, and improve a country which, according to their predic tions, will speedily be independent. But even that would make little difference, for admitting that many of the new lines may not be pressed at present, still more will remain than human strength can do justice to, and the question, therefore, comes—What is to be done? Some have proposed that a Bill should be passed for ex cluding all candidates at elections of a certain age, or not fit for every sort of employment, so that the House might consist, like a good regiment of soldiers, only of able-bodied, iron•framed, and hard-working Mem bers, fearing nothing, and ready for every work. But such a scheme would deprive the lower House of the experience, wisdom, and judgment of many vener able legislators, and probably would find little support eithei in the Commons or the Lords. The only remedy that we can discover is to make the Peers do their duty, and begin the labours of their session at least a quarter of a year earlier than usual. Little or nothing is done in that. House till the end of May. Thus nearly four months are lost which might be use fully employed in lessening the labours of the Commons and in dispatching at least one half of the principal Railway Bills. Relief, too, might be afforded, by limiting the speeches of counsel, and by compelling them to speak only to the main points, and reject all that legal jargon, which only wastes useful time, and corrupts the English language. At all events, some scheme must be devised, else it will not be possible to find candidates for Parliamentary honours. Many boroughs and counties will be unrepresented, and it will be as difficult to find a man to risk his life in a Railway Committee as in an expedition to the coast of Africa. Madrid journals of the 17th inst. have been received, In the Eco del Comercio we find the following para graph, which we believe has no foundation. Indeed that journal does not attach much credit to it ! "We have seen a letter from Gibraltar which positively announces that foreign envoys have arrived thither, whose mission is to recruit offieers in all the depots of the emigrants from Portugal, Sp a i n , & c ., i n order to join the army of AED - EL-LADEN, and at tack the French colonies. These agents, it is said, have a considerable sum of money at their com mand, and present great advantages to such as wish to enlist. We do not place much faith in this news; nevertheless, it must be remembered that MEHEMET Au organised his army and succeeded in throwing off the authority of the Porto by means of the European officers who emigrated from their country in conse quence of the political events of 1823." The muni cipal election for Madrid did not appear to excite much interest, as the Government would have them all their own way. Senor CORTES, who had been appointed a Councillor of State, had, in consequence of that, re signed the situation of Secretary to the QUEEN. The health of her MAJESTY, it is said, is improving. No public business was done on the Bourse. The Paris Moniteur contains an official notice from the Minister of Public Works, fixing the 25th of No vember for the adjudication of the Tours and Nantes Railway and the Paris and Strasburg, with branches to Rh e i ms , M e t z , an d Saarbruck. Th e . concession for the n f c o e r m t h e n e t 1 h ) a a r d i s a and u S r t a r b a l s e burgh, effeet f o o n r t t 3 h - - e fi first line is not to exceed th e period of thirty-five years, s v tare T m h a ia rk an et, - n an ou d and a considerable rise took place on the northern and some other principal lines. A slight depression, however, took place towards the close of business both in shares and stock, attributed to the seizure of the books, papers, and money, of two brokers employed for the disposal of shares in the new lines. Altogether, however, the Bourse displayed more firmness on Thursday than for several days. Official dispatches received by the Minister of War from Ge teral LANORICIERE appear in the papers. These dis patches are dated Ternouchen, Oct. 4, and give details of various encounters with the Arabs, but they add nothing to the previous intelligence from that quarter. The Algcrie states that A ED-EL-KADErt receives all his sup plies from Gibraltar, through Morocco, and that he has an agent at Tetuan who sends him everything that he requires in arms, ammunition, etc. This journal adds that ABD-EL-ICADER has at Toza, a town of Morocco, and governed by one of the Emperor's officers, a powder mill, and workshops for the repair of arms and the manu facture of accoutrements. Accounts in these papers leave no doubt that SOULT will, in a few days, give up the war department, but still remain in the Cabineras President of the Council. The Constitutionnel says General PREVAL will be appointed Minister of War. Marshal BIIGEAUD arrived at Algiers oa the 15th. Accounts from Milan announce the arrival of the Em peror of RusslA at that place on the 17th instant. There is no truth, however, in the report of the arrival of the Emperor of AUSTRIA.

The weather was delightful, the attendance most numerous, and the de light evinced by the old stagers that the character of the future meetings was not to be invaded by the threatened invasion of cocknies, which would certainly have taken rlace had the contemplated stands been erected, was natural and to be commended. On Monday we had nine races, all well contested, but only two of them were speculated upon to a great extent, and those were the matches between Minotaur and St. Lawrence, and Crcesus and Nottingham. In ►he former I was fortunate enough to name the winner, and as I was uncertain whether the other would be run I did not touch upon it. This, I fancy, will be the last race ridden by gentlemen jockeys fur some time at New market. On Tuesday, the splendid prize given by the heir to throne of Russia brought to the post a most extensive field, which was beaten with perfect ease by The Baron who proved himself a far better horse than I imagined, he a as. Wee Pet, who I said was sure to be foi ward, was second, and Jenny Wren, the mare I expected to win if lEgis had not gone, was backed at 5 to 1 ; when I wrote she was at 12, so that her backers could not have hurt themselves. To show the estimation in which The Baron was held by the stable, it is right to observe that he was not backed for any money, as they thought the weight must stop him. The result did not please the fielders, many of whom had not got round. In the Ckarvvell, Sting and Princess Alice maintained the posi tions I thought they would occupy. Sorella and the cob, however, disappointed me in their matches—the latter was backed heavily at 6 to 5. On Wednesday, Deerchase won a sweepstakes by a head from a small field. Celia beat Espoir in a canter, as I told my readers she would. Jet won the Oat lands from Trueboy, not by speed, but merely by tem per. The Town Plate brought thirteen to the post, and was won, after a pretty race, by Metal, an animal, I opine, which will be heard of again. The day's sport was brought to an end by Prologue's winning 200 sous. from Vaudeville, who had not recovered her Irish trip. After a couple of matches, and the usual sweep staker, we had a most excellent race far the Handicap Plate, A.F., which Ruff won in a manner that left no doubt in auy one's mind but, had he been handled pro perly in the Cet arewitch, he would have been very close to The Baron—in fact, too close to be pleasant. Evenus must have been off his running, for he was beaten very soon in the race. The next that followed was for the Bretby Stakes, in which Cuckoo beat Polka on the post by a head, and the latter mare beat Ennui by the same distance. On Friday the week's sport was brought to a close by seven good races ; none, however, call for any particular observation. The Prendergast was carried off by Princess Alice, according to my idea, and in the three matches hich followea I was lucky enough to point out the winners. The-Houghton Meeting commences under most fa vourable auspices on Monday. I never knew the Cam bridgeshire Stakes, from its establishment, excite so much interest as it does at present ; an unprecedented number of horses have been backed for it, and nearly all will go. I n ill endeavour, as far as lies in my power, to assist my readers in the difficult task of selecting the winner. In spite of The Baron's splendid performance in the past week, I do not really think with 7st. Mb. he can win, but that he will be either second or third I have no doubt. Gorhambury, Garry Owen, Needful, and Trueboy I will not hear of. Neither do I think Perkin Warbeck, Ironmaster, Nottingham, Caen, Hope, Vaudeville, Duc-an- Durres, Valerian, Secundus, Longitude, Lady Wildair, Comrade, Physalis, Mongrel, Prairie, Chertsey, Devil's Dust, Example, E%ent, Remorse, Kesheng, Clumsy, My Mary, or Dean Swift, have the slightest chance. Miss Elis, Midlothian, Pantasa, Mentor, Extempore, and Lothario, are not likely to go. The latter horse I preferred from the moment the handicap came out. It should be recollected he won the cup at Liverpool with Bst. 51b., and was only beaten a neck for the Derby Handicap directly after wards, being crossed in the race. In the Goodwood Stakes, with Bst. 131 b., he was third. Discord, Coranna, Queen Mab, and the Cure, are situated in the same manner. Refraction and Lightning are stopped by the weight, and what remains now worth picking from, are only Semiseria, Yardley, Ould Ireland, Wolfdog, Wee Pet, Flattery, Croton Oil, Best Bower, Jenny Wren, Everton, Paintbrush, and Jet. Shonld Semiseria run kindly, as she did at Doncaster, I think she will be found in a very good place at the finish. Yardley should run well with Bst. from his recent public doings. Ould Ireland, with 7st., is a most dangerous animal to be heavy against, and in my opinion he has been kept for it. The distance will exactly suit him, and the weight is very favourable to him. To Wolfdog the same remarks will apply, although it must be born in mind that the Alice he beat in the Curragh last week was a very different animal from Alice, the pride of the southern and northern sportsmen. Neither the distance or weight will hurt Rowena. Ever ton is supported from his running second to Coheiress at York, but as he has been subsequently beaten by infe rior animals, I would not recommend my friends to stand too heavily upon him. Jenny Wren will like this course better than the Cesarewitch. Best Bower st ill be a powerful favourite, and with 6st 21b ought to be there or there abouts. Flattery and Paintbrush I have no doubt will run well, but are not quite good enough to win. Croton Oil, when I think of his running, for the Surrey Cup, which he won from the Wreck and Lotha rio should be very near. Of the light-weights Jet is the best, and will beat the others. Wee Pet is a certain starter, but an uncertain winner. In conclusion Imagine, either Ould Ireland, Wolfdog, or Best Bower will be the winner of the Cambridgeshire Stakes for 1845. That The Baron will be second or third I feel most confident, and next to him I think Semiseria, Rowena, and Yardley or Jet will be found. Should Lothario be started, I would have him in preference to Wolfdog or Best Bower. The length I have gone into the Cambridgeshire Stakes must necessarily render my remarks on the other races brief. In the 300 soy. Stakes, Mr. Herbert's colt I prefer to Lord Glasgow's. Captain Phoebus will beat the Miss Whip cclt; Miss Elis, Oakley; and Refraction, Prologue; at least I think so, after mature reflection. The Criterion, I should imagine, would go to Princess Alice, Sting, or West Countryman. Motilla should have no trouble in beating Black Cat, nor Prologue in beat ing even the Altered One. For the Glasgow Stakes I should take Arkwright; and in the match between Garry Owen and Secundu4, I lean to the former. TELEGRAPH. London, Oct. 25, 1845. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.

In Great Britain, malt liquor w as u , e d as earl,' l i j s the fifth century, and considerable breweries existe d o f London before the Norman conquest, supplying aleses different qualities and degrees of strength. Ale i 3 ° iv tient din the laws of Ina, King of Wessex. It w as it „favourite drink of the Anglo-Saxons and Danes, 81 0 was of their ancestors, th e G ermans . It very SC t found a place at the table of ro y a l t y. We are told t` l o it was one of the liquors pr ov id e d a t a b a nquet in tin reign of Edward the Confessor. Chaucer, who live d ,4 the reigns of Edward the Third, Richard the Sec c ,"„i e and Henry the Fourth, h as ce l e b ra t e d th e Southwark' " of those days as " the strong ale of Southwark." 05 It is probable, however, th a t th e d r i n ki n g of be„, r er „ . ry not a general custom in Engl an d un til th e r e ign of e ll ' es the Seventh, in whose time the br e weries, which t stood on the banks of the Thames, at St. Cather aig i ; and are distinguished in the ma p g i ven i n the Ci‘d! i c ed o Orbis" by the name of bee r -h ouses , were t w ice '`sr" ui p. by the king's officers, either for sending too great aft r e t tity abroad unlicensed, or for brewing it too we e i , o . house consumption. During th e w h o l e re ign of - a t o beth the foreign demand for E ng li s h b eer continn' increase, and the liberty of ex p ort was on ly ocelot - 0 checked by the occurren c e o f scarc i t y or d ea rth at P r r y bet What we call beer is of later origin than ale. sings the poet : Ale for antiquity may plead and stand, Before the conquest, conquering in this land; Beere, that is younger brother of her age, Was not then born, nor ripe to be her page. The Philosoph er ' s Banquet , `, h a t e Taken regularly and moder a t e ly, a l e i s non"' bL a wholesome, and conducive to longevity. The ePi tc P t ace Brawn, the famous Irish beggar, w h o di e d a t a gre c fe in Cornwall, is a testimony in f avour o f t hi s bevert4-' Here Brawn, the common beggar, lies, Who counted by his tale, Some six score winters and above— Such virtue there's in ale. Ale was his meat, his drink, his cloth, Ale did his death reprieve; And could he still have drank his ale, He had been still alive. 05° Every reader of romance knows that it was the c 1 5 0 kel of our Saxon ancestors to drink their ale out of 3 ,, o itf. their feasts. Such were the rude ale-bowls of snug ty ke At Braintree and Bocking, in Essex, when toper's . 1) :40 1 of a pot of ale, the measure they have it in is a peg"' h i e ll is divided into three parts or daughts, the first of cl ";issi. called neckum, the second sinhum, and the third area s For the origin of bottled ale, we suppose we must rer s o f vs' van e • the quaint account given by Fuller in his " ° : „ ms Lancashire." He relates that the learned and Pr', - f asti Henry Wee ton, having one day left his usual P i k e tbe, companion, to wit, a bottle of ale, in the grass b ecz i o sou river Thames; he found it some days after, when' dot behold, it was o no bottle, but a gun, such the s ofte r 0 the opening thereof." Thi s anecdote reminds u , s s u rst , Indian, who, being at an E ng li s h man ' s table a' seer expressed his surprise by l o ud exc l ama tions, o _„ ll , te r a vast quantity of froth ooze o u t o f a b o ttle of r- r ise. soon as the cork was drawn. Being asked what en t rP fre tll him, he replied, " I don't wond e r a t a ll that the ever comes out of the bottle; but how the deuce did S ou contrive to squeeze it all in?" For centuries past, la bonne biere d been spoken of in raptures by Frenchmen, Belgis n ' su aof mans, and other people.
