The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning. She brings American papers to the 30th ult. The Great Britain was to leave New York on the afternoon of that day. There is nothing decisive from Mexico. The following ac count of the movement of American troops on the frontier is extracted from the New Orleans Picayune of the 17th ult. " General Gaines, commanding the southern divisioa of the United States, having made a demand on Governor Mouton for one thousand men or more for the national ser vice, and the Governor promptly made a requisition on Ge neral Lewis, commanding the first division of the Louisiana militia, for the required force, viz., two regiments of volun teers, of ten companies each—one of them to consist of mus keteers and one of riflemen, and two companies of artillery with eight field pieces, the requisition was immediately responded to, and will be put forthwith into execution. "We understand that the whole of the artillery force of the city—a most effective and well-armed corps—have volun teered their services, and that they have been accepted. " This movement is said to be consequent upon authentic information which has reached General Gaines, of the ad vance of 10,000 Mexican troops to a point within eight days' march of General Taylor's quarters. The Texan Convention was to adjourn the third week in August. It was reported in Vera Cruz, that a large number of Mexican troops had marched to the Texian frontier, and that Gen. Bustamente was to take the command of them, and that they were to march through Texas on their way to Washing. ton without declaring war. The Texan papers, however, make no mention of any Mexican invasion. According to the last accounts from the city of Mexico, the bill, authorising the loan of 15,000,000 dollars was still under discussion. It was reported at Vera Cruz that the bill had passed, and that it was expected the money might be raised in England. Surveys of the north-eastern boun dary was completed. Thirty feet of forest was cut through the boundary line, and monuments of cast iron, four feet above the ground, and lettered " Treaty of Washington," with the names of the Commissioners of the two Governments, were erected to mark the line.

As the north of England was the arena of expensive con flicts last year, so the west of England is to have its turn this year, and to become the scene of warfare, not to spill the blood, but to bleed the purses of the willing speculators who live in the mazes of the railway department of the Stock Exchange. Three great schemes are already published, and several more promised, to Improve the communication from London to Penzance ; and with all the eloquence of literary descrip tion, far excelling the hitherto unsurpassed powers of the famed Robins, prospectuses have set forth the not-to-be-esti mated value of a railway through this unoccupied portion of the kingdom. The first scheme consists of the North Devon, Cornwall, and West Cornwall projects, which promise to furnish rail way communication direct to all the towns in the counties of Devon and Cornwall west of Exeter, not yet provided for, together with a direct line from Exeter to Falmouth and Pen zance, and a line from Plymouth to Falmouth. As a great deal of correspondence has appeared from dis contented parties who were left out in the allotment of the shares in the North Devon project, now at a high premium ; ' and as the two latter projects had formed their Companies before the last session, but were postponed on account of en gineering defects alone, and have already spent a considerable sum in preliminary preparation, it is fair to assume that they are in a position to insure their going to Parliament with well considered lines next session. Brunel has the management of the whole of these ; they are all supported, with capital and otherwise, by the Great Western and other powerful Companies ; are patronised by the great mass of landed pro prietors in both counties, who are on their Provisional Com mittees ; and, therefore, have a good chance of a favourable consideration when they apply for their Bills. The next is a project put forth by Mr. Columbine, of Re gent-street, which, taking compassion on the waste lands between London and Penzance, and, considering the great necessity for additional railway accommodation, purposes crossing all the intermediate lines already constructed, or in the course of construction, and forcing its way to the Land's end. The Provisional Committee has no great amount of local patronage, nor does it seem to have obtained the coun tenance of the landed proprietors; nevertheless, the Pro visional Committee consists of some heavy artillery, and will, it is to be presumed fight its way into, if not out of Parliament. The third scheme at present published consists of several great projects forming a sort of mutual society, requiring the investment of many millions of money, and is patronised by the very enterprising firm of solicitors in Moorgate street, who so nobly fought but lost the great Direct Northern in last session. These projects, in order to complete a direct western line to Salisbury, Yeovil, Exeter, and Penzance, have revived the Devon and Cornwall Central, which made such a sad miss of its affairs last year, and appeared in so questionable and unenviable a form so repeatedly before the public, and was so decidedly rejected by the Board of Trade. A few, but very few, of the landowners in North Devon and Cornwall seem to afford it their countenance, and, consider ing the 1 ength of the line, 100 miles, with its numerous branches, probably 100 miles more, with three millions re quired for its completion, it argues considerable boldness to reappear with such a desperate measure. These rival schemes will not only threaten a serious vexa tion to the Great Western in regard to its finances, but will bring on another fight for the broad guage, inasmuch as they make an irruption into the very country where that guage is now predominant, and they will involve the expenditure of a great amount of capital which the public are called upon to furnish. If the originators of them would risk their own property and furnish funds themselves to try these weighty questions, there would be no room for complaint; but knowing that there is no ascertained traffic which will repay—that there are no necessities of the country that demand the outlay of so many millions, it is indeed astonishing to witness the cool manner in which the public are gulled into the support of schemes, which, after all, can never furnish a profit to any but the gambler and the lawyer. The Royal Devon and Cornwall Horticultural So ciety held its third and last meeting for the season on Thursday, in the assembly-room of the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. The display of flowers was large and beautiful, and comprised some very choice specimens of those now in season. There was an excellent display of fruit and vegetables also, especially of the former, which were the more abundantly flirnished, probably, from the circumstance that the fruit was to form the principal attraction; at a grand dejefine, which was to be held at font* o'clock. The company was a brilliant and fashionable one, comprising most of the county families of South Devon and East Cornwall. The degefine was presided over by the Earl of Morley, who was supported by Major-General the Hon. H. Murray, Admiral Pym, Thomas Gill, Esq., M.P., and a number of other gen tlemen. There was also a large attendance of ladies present, headed by the Countess of Morley, &c. The Noble Chairman presided with considerable ability, and the usual loyal toasts were drunk on the occasion. About 200 sat down, and the pleasures of the day were closed in the evening by a dance. - ----- The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe will receive a large party at Fleurs Castle at the close of this month, when the Royal Caledonian Hunt meeting is to take place at Kelso, the Noble Duke being President this year. The Dowager Duchess is prolong ing her residence at Brighton. INORDINATE DRINKING OF B RANDY BY FIVE redl"lthey ship Tigress, now lying of Henry Strood e , age d Younts.—On Friday at eight o'clock, Mr. B a k er h eld an inquest at t s l e \e „ C n i t t e y en A y rm ea s r , s M sea illw a a p l p l, r P en o t p i l e a e r o , n on bo t a h in the West India export dock. It appeared by the evidence, that on Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, the deceased, with three other youths, were invited on board the William Gillics by Wm. W enne _ cott; an apprentice of the latter ship, to partake of some b ran d y. They remained on board about an hour, during which brief space of time they drank between them three bottles of strong brandy. They drank the liquor out of a tumbler. Deceased, when he quitted the ship, appeared to be rather intoxicated, but he contrived to regain his own ship, where he was shortly afterwards seen by John Suther land, the night watchman in the dock, in the act of taking off his boots, near the cat-head of the vessel. In the morn ing following, at about six o'clock, on one of the seamen of the Tigress going on deck, he found the deceased lying at the head of the ship quite dead and cold. Mr. Smith, surgeon, deposed that he was called to deceased. Ile found that he had been vomiting. He was quite dead. On being informed of the circumstances attend ing his death, witness inquired into the state of the other lads, when he was informed another named Dewes was in an insensible state. He promptly administered the necessary remedies ; he was, atter four hours unremitting attention, pronounced out of danger. Wenne cott, who had provided the liquor, was seriously ill after the exces sive potations, but was enabled to attend before the Coroner to give evidence. The other two boys fortunately escaped without any very serious consequences. Witness attributed death to determination of blood to the head, brought on by inordinate draughts of brandy. The Coroner admonished the youths upon their conduct, and trusted that the unfortunate result of their carousal would prove a serious warning to them for the future. Verdict, " Found dead on the deck of the ship Tigress, apparently from the effects of akover- draught of brandy." Aberdeen • ........... Airdrie and Coatbridge Arbroath and Forfar ..

The following " Remarks " on the Fight for the Championship, between Caunt and Bendigo, which took place on Tuesday last, are extracted from The Sportman's Magazine and Life in London, a spi rited and admirably-conducted weekly publication :-- "REMARKS. " The style of both the men may be best judged from the particu lars of the rounds ; Cauut seemed over eager, and occasionally lost his temper, by which he threw away a chance which moderation, steadiness, and coolness might have given to him. His physical ad vantages—height, weight, length, and strength—were too great to allow of that deviation on his side which was accorded on the other; for it was impossible to repress a feeling for the boldness, dexterity, and quickness of the lesser man, whose escape from utter annihilation seemed little short of a miracle. Hence much of the imputed unfair ness. Yet we must here record our deliberate conviction that, although Bendigo was often sailing too near the verge of unfairness to be alto gether pleasant or proper, yet this only occurred in the earlier rounds, and that it must be viewed as a set-off for natural qualifications which the lesser man supplied by activity and skill. To have stood up and exchanged blow ter blow in half-arm rallies with an overwhelming giant like his opponent must have quickly terminated the contest without a hope on the part of the lesser man. Indeed, it would have been the very hammering game at which a thorough staunch man like Caunt, with unmatched strength, must annihilate an adversary : he was, therefore, expected to shift and get down ; and it argues little for Count's skill or gift of hitting, that a man of twelve stone should fight for two hours and eight minutes, and leave cff with a few slight contusions. Bendigo, however, declared, pre vious to entering the ring, that, win or lose, he would not fight again, a resolution we sincerely commend. lie is thirty-three years of age, a time at which professed pugilists, especially of the heavier weights, should retire. He may well repose beneath the shade of the laurels lie has won, although we doubt not that there are many who would fain pluck the leaves from his brow. Both sides cannot be satisfied ; the London division, and the most expe rienced members of the corps pugilistique, have large odds in favour of Count, whose science,l it was declared, was so much improved that Bendigo would be served a /a Nick Ward ; the result proved their error. Bendigo is a bolder man than Ward—ready, cool, and courageous ; the first fight with Ward, which Nick won, was but 11 or 12 minutes ; the second, which he lost, 47 minutes of manoeuvring, while Bendigo, on the first occasion, fought Caunt 22 rounds and 47 minutes; and on the second, alter 75 rounds, occupying 1 hour and 20 minutes, he lost by getting down too quickly ; this third time he contended for 128 minutes, a pretty convincing proof of tho difference between Caunt's two ecalapetitors. Caunt will, of course, challenge the championship, and in the present dearth of big men we do not know of any one who could contest the claim. Independent of ill-health, we cannot think the Tipton Slasher, slow and navigatorish, could have the ghost of a chance with so resolute and two-handed a fighter as the mighty Ben—mighty, although for the present, fallen. That the losers will grumble and seek to re vise the decision, we doubt not, but it is a duty which the press owes, without fear, favour, partiality, or affection, to support ri gorously the decision of the appointed judge, when acting, as Mr. o—n unquestionably did, with perfect bond fides. If this is not done, a most dangerous and destructive precedent is introduced, which can involve no lesser consequence than the utter ruin ofthe ring. No one can impeach the uprightness of the judge, and the absurd rumours about the in tention to retain the stakes, divide them, or to adjourn the affair to another day and another trial, are as foolish as they are mischievous. If those who have always supported this authority are the first to renounce, deny, and invalidate It, what can be said ? That they are the worst enemies of the system they ',press to uphold. In con clusion, we may observe that the result of the battle was known in London before eight, by means of pigeons and the telegraph. Many clever people, however, knew It for certain long before it took place. The lateness of the hour, half-past six—it was dark a little after seven—precluded the possibility of the second contest, that between Maley and Merriman, from be , ng proceeded with. Indeed, as those worthies have proved rather long-winded in their former battles, it would be as well to give them a ' long day.' " CHIMNEY ON FIRE.—In consequence of the great increase and prevalence of fire, from foul chimneys in the vicinity of Spitalflelds, the churchwardens of Christchurch have published and distributed bills drawing the attention of the inhabitants to the sub ject. They quote the Act of 14th George 111., cap. 78, sec. 78, by which all lodgers, tenants, renters, or holders of apartments, are liable to the expenses incurred in case of any alarm of ere, from such a cause, which may be recovered by the churchwardens by distraint upon the goods or chattels, if the amount be Not paid within fourteen days, and expressing their intention to carry the provisions of the Act strictly into operation. A GENTLEMAN BITTEN BY A RABID DOG.- On Friday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a serious ac cident occurml to Mr. 'llamas Vandervelde, a law student, residing in University-street, Tottenham -court-road. It appears that the young gentleman had been fondling a pet dog of the terrier breed, when the animal suddenly made a spring, and bit him in the hand. 110 did not, however, at the moment pay any particular attention to the circumstance, attributing it to mere play. A few hours after wards, the arm becoming painful and inflamed, he was induced, :it time suggestion aids friends, to send for medical assistance, when it was found necessary both to excise, and afterwards cauterise, the injured parts. As the symptoms have since abated, strong hopes are -,ltertained of Mr. Vandervelde's recovery. The dog, having evinced unequivocal signs of hydrophobia, was destroyed without loss of time. RICHMOND MECIZANIES' INSTITUTION.—MF. Field delivered the first of a course of lectures on the Naval and Mi litary Services at this institution, on Monday evening, to a nu. merous audience. The lecturer illustrated his subject by sing ing a variety of Dibdin's and other national songs, his execu tion of which elicited the warmest applause ; among others, " Totn Bowline" and " The Death of Nelson" deserve particu lar mention. He was accompanied by his son (quite a youth), who also sang "The Midshipman's Parting Address to his Mother" and Poor Bessie" in a very :creditable manner, and between the parts of the lecture played the overture to Rot Diavolo with much brilliancy. The keystone of the last arch in the splendid bridge across the Lowther, on the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail way, was secured on Wednesday last. The height from the bed of the river to the top of the parapet is upwards of 100 feet.— Cumberland Pacquet. CANDIDATES FOR HOLY ORDERS.—A short time since some of the Bishops, in their places in the House of Lords, expressed their intention of allowing schoolmasters to become candidates for holy orders, without undergoing an uni versity qualification. The Lord Bishop of London has recently been written to upon this subject, and the question put to him, whether he would or not allow schoolmasters to become candi dates in his diocese? His Lordship replied by stating that, whatever other Bishops might do, he should not depart from the ancient custom of requiring the candidates to have graduated at the Universities of Orford or Cambridge.— Cantbridye Ad vertiser. Ap,ley House is unlergoing some decorative re pairs during the absence of the Noble Duke at Walmer Castle. ASYLUM FOR TILE HOUSELESS POOR.—The Poor law Commissioners having issued an order to the Guardians of the Greenwich Union to elect guardians for the new asylum far the houseless poor, to be called the South Eastern Metro politan District, and to embrace the parishes and unions of Greenwich, Lewisham, St. Olave's (Southwark), St. Giles's (Camberwell), St. Mary Magdalene (Bermondsey), and St. Mary (Rotherhithe), the guardians met on Thursday last, and by a majority of nine to three, agreed to the following resolution :—" That this board having beets at great expense in providing a refuge for the house less poor, and finding the same answers the purpose intended by the Legislature, do not consider it necessary that we should be annexed to any other parish or union, whereby great and unnecessary expense would be grievously entailed upon this union." The Board of Commissioners who consti tute the local authorities of the parish of Woolwich met by special summons on Tuesday evening, to consider this mea sure, which is loudly complained of in consequence of the enormous expense it will entail upon the parish, and its entire removal of the vagrant poor from local superintendence. It was resolved, after a lengthened discussion, that a public meeting of the inhabitants should be called to memorialise the Commissioners against the measure. THEATRE ROYAL, CHURCH -STREET, LIVERPOOL. —This favourite and :established theatre opened last week un der circumstances of unusual brilliancy, and with a dramatic corps of such varied excellence and high reputation that pro mise and ought to command the greatest success in the under taking. Mrs. H. P. Grattan, so popular some time since at Covent-garden Theatre, the:Princess, and Adelphi, has become the lessee. The interior of the theatre, decorated in a style of costly magnificence and exquisite taste, has created quite a furore in the patrons of the drama. Among the performers of London reputation at present fulfilling engagements there, are Barker and Weiss, the vocalists ; Mr. John Lee, the comedian ; with Madame Louise, Mademoiselle Adele, and Mr. A. Web ster, from Drury-lane Theatre. The opera of La Sonnam bula, ar.d the ballet of Giselle, have each been produced with the most perfect success. In the former, Mrs. H. P. Grattan executed the music of Amine most admirably. In the stock company is a son of the celebrated James Wallack, who gives promise of the highest excellence as a comedian. The stage arrangements and direction of the theatre are under the super intendence of Mr. John Ryan, of Covent-garden Theatre, whose intimate knowledge of the profession is a guarantee for the superiority of the future arrangements for the season. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—The National Gallery closed for the annual vacation yesterday, and will not re-open for public inspection till the 27th of October next. FOOT HURDLE-RACING AT SOUTHAMPTON CRICEET krd GROUND.—On Monday the burdle.race for the silver ta who tankard, open to all England, was won by Edward Smith, o f carried off the prize, to the mortification of the local fancy. London, TAUNTON.—We are glad to find that the _fail A u e r r e in the potatoe crop is only par tial in this neighbourhood s borne Journal. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Our attention has been called to a letter, signed J. Van Amburgh, which ap. p in the Morning Post of Thur sda y , and whi ch states that the t, e v a o r l e i d ons which have been recently added to the collection at these gardens are the property of Mr. Van. Amburgh, and will be re moved to America in a few days. We have authority to contradict this statement in the most Unqualified manner. The lions arc the property of Er. Tyler, the proprieto r o f th e gardens, who purchased :thein, by auction, a short time since. Moreover, Mr. Van Amburgh, the all ege d writer of the letterisa present in America, and the very lions referred to are now to be seen at the Surrey Gardens. PEDESTRIANISM.---NOVEL PEAT. On Thursday a pederttian feat of a rather singular character was performed by Raymond, of Brixton, who undertook for a wager of 5/. a side, that he would pick up from thegr , ou , n ia d ed an o d n with his mouth only, one hundred eg gs, each egg being t line, and at a ya r d apart from the other, and the con r v o e a y d t , h i e n m a e s , t i r e a i a g t h time and deposit them in a bucket of water placed at the starting end, within fifty-five minutes. The match came off near the Windmill, Clapham Park. The pedestrian entered upon his her culean task, and commenced the removal of the eggs at the far end, and working homewards. He had to start one hundred times, and after labouring for fifty-two minutes he had accomplished his match, and won easily by three minutes to spare. The distance of ground that was actually run over during the performance of the feat is 5 miles 5 furlongs 200 yards. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 6,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation, with a stezdy market. Shares were very active, and a large business was done. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has just concluded a contract with the British Government for the conveyance of the mails on the west coast between Valparaiso and Panama. From the latter place they will cross the Isthmus to Chagres, and thence be brought to this country by the West India Royal Mail Company. Great advantages will re sult to the mercantile public by the accelerated transmission of correspondence hetween the west coast and this country, and the time that will be saved in the remittance of trea sure which has hitherto come by the circuitous route to Cape Horn.' 'We congratulate the Pacific Steam Navigation Company on the advantages which they will reap in the shape of a large increase of revenue. This, added to the important exclusive privileges conceded to the company by the South American Government, should make this one of the must flourishing concerns connected with steam navi gation ; and to the praise of the Liverpool people be it said, they have stood by the concern in the days of mismanage ment, when anything but a satisfactory result was probable. We shall expect sous to hear of a communication by this route to our Australian and New Zealand colonies—a most important consideration. There are some late accounts from Buenos Ayres this morning. There appears to have been a alight difference between the British commander on the station and the authorities, but not much was thought of it. There is not any commercial news of importance in the letters that have come to hand by the present opportunity. The only quotations of Consols for Money to-day have been 98% %, and 98 3 q for the Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills is steady, and indeed rather firm, at 465. to 48s. Bank Stock, which is at 213 1 , for the Account, has been sold at 21314. In the Foreign Market the value of Brazilian Bonds is up to 90. Mexicans are a shade in advance, at 33 for Money.' The Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 3818, and the Belgian Four per Cents. at % per cent. above par. The Great Western Railway Shares have been subjected to many variations to-day. They opened at 162, fell to 155, and have rallied to 160. The Half and the Fifth Shares are but a trifle lower than yesterday. An advance has been submitted to in the Birmingham and Gloucester, in the Bos ton, Stamford, and Birmingham, in the Grand Union, in the Leicester and Bedford, and in the Londonderry and Cole raine. The Midlands commenced at 166%, they are now 169; and the York and North Midlands are a shade better. The French Lines are scarcely so firm as yesterday. Busi ness on the whole in Shares is rather animated. British Iron Scrip (101. paid) has been sold at 144 10s. per share. The corrected prices for the day of all other shares are an nexed.

The present demand may be fairly expected to continue for two or three monts at least. — Leicestershire Mercury. CAUTION TO PRINTERS.—We advise printers to be on their guard against a tramp named Al'Donald, an Irishman, who last week had a few days' work at our office. He had been kindly treated by the men, although without a card ; notwithstanding which, the fellow decamped with a couple of composing -sticks from the office (one marked "W. T. G., Swansea)." He offered the sticks for sale to some of the printers in the town, at the same time present ing a plausibly-written begging-letter, to which he had affixed 3lr. D. Rees's name as a contributor for 4s. 6d. He effected his retreat before the loss of the sticks was discovered, otherwise he would, ere tills, have taken up his quarters in the House of Correction. He is a seedy-looking fellow, about sft. 3in. high, and wears a broad brimmed hat.— Canamian. LORD PANMURE.—We regret to learn that this patriotic Nobleman was seized with serious indisposition last week, while at his shooting quarters, Minden, nigh the Grampians. Dr. Guthrie, of Brechin, the most eminent medical man in the district, has since been in daily attendance on his Lordship, who, it is to be earnestly hoped, will be enabled to rally from this attack.—Caledo nian Mercury. _ REBECCA AGAIN.—In carrying out the provisions of the late Act of Parliament relating to the Turnpike Trusts in South Wales some of the gates in the neighbourhood of Brecon have already been removed, the tolls reduced, and the distances between other gates are about being equalised. Among the latter the turn pike -gate near the ninth mile-stone on the Merthyr road, is to be re moved and a new toll-house erected this side of the Story's Arms. This building was last week in course of erection, and in a few days expected to be finished ; but lo ! on Monday morning last, upon the workmen going to their work, the new toll-house had disappeared, and the men were struck with astonishment at the industry displayed by the panics who had in so short a period levelled their work.— Hereford Journal. METROPOLITAN FAIRS.—The fairs lately held and are now holding in various suburban districts of the metropolis, in the place of those held by ancient usage, which were suppressed a few years since by magisterial influence, are the speculation of a single individual, long cormected with the show trade, who rents the land, and then sub-lets it. In Several instances this has proved a Profitable speculation. RELATIVE CLOSING PRICES OF RAILWAY SHARES PRINCIPAL CITIES Als SCOTLAND, NAMES or RAILWAYS. IN THE D TOWNS IN ENG 'D IRELAND.

EASTERN UNION.-IPSWICH AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S. Ipswicn, FRIDAY.—The first ordinary meeting of this Company was held at their offices, Brook.street, Ipswich, this day, at one o'clock, for the disposal of the general business of the Company ; after which, the meeting was made special, for the purpose of in creasing the number of Directors named in the Act of Incorpora. tion to fifteen, and also to apply to Parliament next session fcr powers to make a line to Norwich, diverging near Stowmarket, and for another to join the Northern and Eastern line near Cambridge. Mr. John Chevalier Cobbold, Chtairman of the Board of Di rectors, having taken the chair, The Sac turreay (Mr. Saunders) read the report, which stated, amongst other matters, that they had much pleasurein announcing that Parliament has sanctioned so much of the undertaking, to which they had subscribed, as lies between Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's ; the residue was postponed until next session. That it was a source of great congratulation to them, that in announcing the success of thus much of a railroad into Suf folk, the Directors could fairly treat of it as the commence ment only of a much more comprehensive scheme. Knowing the sentiments entertained by the proprietary, the Directors are pro ceeding to acquire the further necessary powers for extending the line to Norwich from Stewmarket, as originally intended. The pe. cuniary resources are already secured. With the deposit already paid, the Directors would be enabled to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, without a further call for that purpose. Of the large balance on hand, the Directors had invested at interest 34,5001. That the Directors had given their best attention to the proposals of another Company which would make a line from Ipswich to Yarmouth nearer to the coast; but they could not be lieve it would remunerate its projectors, and declined to be engaged in supporting it. " The last scheme of extension to which your Directors beg your attention is the connecting link between Bury St. Edmund's and Cambridge. It is deemed by them of great importance to the interests of the county, and likely to be productive both of trading advantages to the towns it cm. braces, and of a large increase of revenue to the lines of this company, reaching as they do the ports of England most favourably situated for continental intercourse. Already lines are projected, with every prospect of being successfully carried for ward, from Cambridge to Oxford, and from Cambridge to Worces. ter, in direct extension of communication with yourprojected Cam bridge line." The receipts and expenditure were next read, by which it gm peered that the funds of the company were in a very prosperous state, and left a balance of 39,G00/. on hand. The CHAIRMAN then congratulated the shareholders upon the fact that they had received no opposition whatever from the land owners along the line, although it proposed to pass through the beautiful estates of Sir William Mydleton, Mr. William Gurden, Sir P. Brook, Lord Ashburton, &c. ; and he was also glad to say that they had got a site for their station at Ipswich, free of ex pense, from the Corporation. Resolutions founded on the report were also agreed to. GOOLE, DONCASTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MANCHESTER. On Friday the first general meeting of the Proprietors was held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Mr. W. G. Thompson in the chair. There was a numerous attendance of Proprietors. The report of the Directors, read by the Company's solicitor, after alluding to the various features of the line, as proposed In the last session, and to the recommendation of the Commons' Com mittee, that it be postponed until next session, concluded as fol. lows :—" There were 17,324 original shares issued, and that, after defraying all expenses attending the proceedings, there will remain a sum of about 8,000/, in hand; and as the capital, as originally estimated for the line, was 035,000/., the Committee propose to raise that amount on 31,750 shares of 20/. each, instead of 25,400 shares of 251. each., and they recommend the following arrangement : That upon the 17,324 original shares issued, a further sum of 1/. 10s. be paid by the holders of the scrip, and that such holder be entitled to one new share for every four old ones held by him, upon the payment of 21. 2s. each upon such new share, which will produce 64,280/. 10s., a sum ample to meet the standing orders of Parlia. ment, and will leave about 10,000 shares for landowners and others interested." The CuatrinisN said, so satisfied were the Committee of the Commons of the traffic case shown by the Goole and Doncaster line, that the evidence of the first witnesses was enough to suffice; the Chairman remarking that, however good their case might be, the Committee could not come to a decision until the lines in group X were adjudged. This the Directors looked upon as unjust. They had been opposed in Parliament by none so vigorously as the river Don Navigation. It was only natural for such a great mono poly to oppose them, seeing that the Goole and Doncaster would interfere with their enormous profits, which might be radily esti. mated, when he told them that they divided 1201. on every 1001. share, besides leaving a surplus, and being in the receipt of 34,0001. per annum. Their shares, which were worth 3,0001. when the Doncaster and Goole line started, were now worth 2,400/. Over tures had been made from other Companies to the Goole and Don. caster, and they would be able, lie believed, to make their own terms in a fortnight. The traffic returns, which they had taken between Goole and Doncaster, showed a revenue of 53,3731. per annum. The line could be made for 160,0001., and the re. turn upon outlay showed 25 per cent., without extending to Man. chester. It was proposed by Mr. Wargen, seconded by Mr. Mocatta, and carried, that the Directors be empowered to re.apply to Parlia ment to make the line, to extend it, and make deviations, with a branch from Thorne to join the Great Grimsby line at Brigg. The following gentlemen were then confirmed in their office as Provisional Committee, on the motion of Mr. Laing, and seconded by Mr. Thornton :—Hon. F. H. Berkeley, MT., Major Adair, Messrs. Downes, Wheat, Bird, Drain, Johnson, Heath, Dalmume, Wilson, Thompson, Hall, and Burge. After some discussion a resolution was passed, permitting any shareholder to retire on the payment of such amount as the Com. mittee might find him entitled to, on account of discharge of de. posit money. ',i I - 'li! - 2% 2 A SPECIAL TRAIN.—Mr. T. Cook, Secretary of the Leicester Temperance Society, arranged with the Midland Company for a special train on Wednesday, to Derby, at the low rate of Is. for adults, and 6d. for children, there and back. It was primarily in tended for Sunday-schools, but open to the public ; and so nume rous were the applications for tickets, that it was found necessary on Tuesday to arrange for another train yesterday. Though Wednesday was the first day of the races, no fewer than 4,300 (of whom 1,700 were adults) presented themselves at the station. The train was divided into three parts, and the party returned safely, delighted with their excursion. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Since the late war Cork has never had such a force of ships and men within sight of its shores at one time than is now anchored at Cove. There are no less than three three-deckers, two of 120 guns and one of 110 guns ; five two.deckers, one of 92 guns, one of 90 guns, one of 84 guns, and two of 80 guns ; a frigate of 26 guns, a steam_sloop of 6 guns ; a steam-vessel of 2 guns, and two steam troop_vessels. Total of ships in her Majesty's service at Cork 13 sail, carrying 812 guns, and a force of officers, seamen, bays, and Royal Marines, amounting to above 7,000. During the past week the greatest activity has prevailed in the different departments of the Admiralty. The dockyards are being increased in number of artisans, and in quantities of stores of all descriptions. A daily report is ordered to be made of the state of the advanced thirty sail-of-the-line, and all stores not perishable, and ihrniture not liable to deteriorate by being afloat, are to be put on board as soon as convenient. The steam guard ships are to be brought forward immediately; in fact, some of them have already been taken in hand. Notice for tenders from engineers has been issued, and the tenders for screw machinery for these steam guard ships will be sent into the Admiralty from the various firms after the Ist of next month. The Lords of the Admiralty, now that they have put the ordinary into the most efficient state, are con centrating their attention on the conversion of the old line-of. battle ships and frigates into steam guard ships, to be propelled by the screw. Their Lordships have only to see their own orders carried into effect in the spirit in which their measures were con ceived, without conceited objections and impertinent subordinate interference, and they will retain the golden opinions of all parties. The Satellite, 18, Commander Rowley, arrived at Buenos Ayres, from Monte Video, on the 4th of June, and left that on the 6th, to return to the former place. fromTT A corn, eeMFo t.teeb r. n Video,l d 6, toe Comma steam -hfer n i6g d taehtreß, of Captain j n u s n h , m arrived l e a ft t B B u u e e n n o o s s A A:: s for Monte Video, on the 29th of May.

Scribe permits it, the Duc d'Albe, an un edited opera of this author and Donizetti, will be brought out in London ; if not, a new libretto will be immediately written s s . for Donizetti's music, w h o h as pos i t i ve l y engaged to connote a new opera for her Majesty's Theatre, in two acts. - /./ FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAILS Barnum, Sart% 9.—The average price of Wheat according to the returns sent by the Governors of the provinces in the week from the Ist to the Bth of September, was for 22, and that of Rye for 13.96. The Courrier d'Anvers, says—" We learn from good authority that the King has desired the Burgomaster of Antwerp to thank in his name and in that ofQueen Louisa and Queen Victoria, the in habitants of Antwerp for their excellent reception of their Majesties on the 6th and 7th of this month. Their Belgian Majesties were particularly charmed with the paina taken by Antwerp to give a worthy reception to her Britannic Majesty and their august rela.. tion, and have congratulated the Burgomaster on the good spirit which animates our population. We are assured besides that their Majesties promssed to make a longer stay among us next year." Some merchants of Antwerp are preparing to freight vessels, which are to be sent to purchase potatoes in America, England, Spain, and other countries where that vegetable is cultivated. To give an idea of what will be the produce of potatoes this year, it will suffice to state the following fact :—A measure, or 44 ares, of potatoes have been sold at Thourout for 4 francs; others, and these were the best, have been sold at 37 francs per measure. In ordinary years the measure of potatoes is worth from 300 to 350 francs. LEIPSIC, SEPT 4.—The annual fete, in commemoration of the Constitution, [has begun, and, with respect to the official part, Las been celebrated exactly as in former years, and may be co,.A sidered as ended. The whole was conducted with the greatest propriety and order. BERLIN, SErr. 2.—The negotiations for the renewal of our treaty of commerce and navigation with Denmark, which expired on the 17th of June, 1838, will be resumed in October, this year, and Count Reventlow will return to Berlin for that purpose. BERLIN, SEPT. 2.—The Minister of Foreign Affairs has hitherto given to individuals, at their request, passports to go abroad, but orders have lately been given not to do so in future. The higher classes of the clergy and eminent physicians, probably because they are considered as having nothing to do with political intrigues, are exempt, and may still have passports to go abroad from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. All other persons must procure such passports from the Minister of the Interior. HAMBURGII, SEPT. 9.—His Majesty the King of Denmark ar rived at Altona yesterday evening. It is understood that his Mat jetty will come to-morrow to see the part of our city which has beets rebuilt since the fire. His Majesty will honour our theatre with his presence to-morrow evening.

JASSY, AUG. 16.—The Sulina Mouth of the Danube has been so choked up with sand during the whole summer, that no merchantmen have been able to enter. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, A to,. 14. (From the Silesian Gazette.)—The whole Pashalik of Bagdad is in alarm. Redschid Pacha, the Governor of that province, a fanatic Turk, well known for having taken by' storm the holy city of Kerbela, has expelled Achmed Pacha, the hereditary Governor of Sulimanie from his post, after a desperate action, he having caused a messenger to have his head cut off, whom Redschid had sent to summon him to appear in person before the Governor. Redschid, indeed, appointed a brother of Achmed in his room, but in vain. Arabia is likewise in a complete state of rebellion. The state of Albania and Bornia is not much better. The orders of the Porte are scarcely attended to in these provinces, and the new system of recruiting cannot be carried into effect there. CARLSRUHE, SEPT. I.—An article in the Carlsruhe Gazette is very characteristic of the views and plans of the advocates of protective duties. Very little trans pires respecting the deliberations of the Zollverein. It may, however, be foreseen that this congress, consisting of men well ver se d i n ma tt ers re l a ti ve to trade and ma nufactures, will do its utmost to raise our manufactures in competition with England, France, and Switzerland. But the cotton printing, the manufacture of figured stuffs, &c., must be protected against the piratical imitations so common in Germany. Skilful workmen must be pro cured from France and England for those branches in which we are still inferior to foreigners, and for this protective duties are necessary ; so that those branches of manufacture cannot subsist without help from abroad, and even this help is not sufficient, unless these articles are secured against competition by protective duties. COLOGNE, SEPT. 2.—(From the firemen Gazate.)— A supposed intention is talked of, which, if it should be carried into effect, will create an extraordinary sen sation. It is well known that the Queen of England, when she was here, gave 3,500 dollars for our Cathedral. A very different sum was expected from the Queen of three kingdoms, but apart from this, as the Queen does not seem in general to have any particular taste for the grand in art, the matter is now taken up in a very different point of view, and a society has been fui mt d here to 'stern the gift •to her Biitannic lliajesti-. It is said that considerable contributions have been subscribed for this purpose, and chiefly by manufacturers, for the people's eyes are opened, and notwithstanding all the fine phrases of the freedom of trade, they see that Eng land, like a vast nightmare, keeps down all our manufac turing and commercial efforts. This is the ground of a demonstration, which otherwise might appear ridiculous, nay, childish. NOTE.--This demonstration if it should be really in tended, may be justly called ridiculous and childish; our manufacturing gentlemen would play the part of a pug dog, which would frighten a bull dog by his yelping and certainly nobody would dispute with the glory of such a heroical defence of the national system. As for the amount of the sum given by the Queen of England, it must be remembered that she is not an absolute Sove reign, who cart dispose of the public money as she pleases ; but must measure her gift according to the means at her disposal which are in proportion far from considerable, and that a contribution of 5001. towards building a oman Catholic Cathedral, exceeds the usual amount of contribution for building churches, and other charitable purposes, in her own country.—liamburgh Pa per, sth September. THE ANDOVER UNION. UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF THE INQUIRY. ANDOVER, WEDNESDAY.—This morning the post brought a letter from the Poor-law Commissioners in London, to Mr. Westlake, the medical officer, with instructions to Mr. Pat ker, the Assistant-Commissioner. The following is a copy of the letter to Mr. Westlake : " Poor-law Commission-office, Somerset House, Sept. 9, 1845. " Poor-law Commissioners have had under con sideration the length to which the inquiry at Andover has already extended, and the suspense, as well as the outlay, to which both parties interested in this inquiry have necessarily been exposed. All this must be still further incurred if the in quiry is continued in the same form. " On these grounds, and because the Commissioners wish that :some, at least, of the questions now raised should be brought before a jury, they have determined to take the follow ing course 1. The Commissioners will cause an indictment to be preferred against the master in respect of any one case of as sault with improper intention alleged to have been committed on a pauper whilst an inmate of the workhouse. The Corn missioners will take any case which you, as the accuser of the master, may suggest, and will cause the bill to be preferred at the neat quarter sessions, which will take place in the month of October. " The Commissioners will, in litre manner, cause an in formation before justices to be laid against the master or matron, under section 97 of the Poor-law Amendment Act, for any one act of embezzlement or misapplication of food, clothing, or goods belonging to the union, which you may select. It will, on this charge, be open to any one to show that the inmates have not received their full and proper allow ance of food. " It is needless to say, that if the master is convicted by a jury on the first of these charges, the Commissioners would at once dismiss him from office. " If he is convicted on the second charge, he becomes dis qualified by the operation of the Act from holding office here after. If an indictment for embetzlement or theft be thought more effective, the Commissioners have no objection to that form of proceeding, instead of the information under the 97th section of the Act above referred to. " The Commissioners are convinced that this course will at once be the most satisfactory and the most expeditious in bring ing the matter to an issue. wish it to be understood that they will cause t. ~ In order to remove misapprehension, theheCionmdimelseionntetros to be laid, at the cost of the Commission ; . be prepared, and the Bill to be preferred, b a u n t d o t e h y e funds at their disposa l, any dertake to defray, out of the will t u n... The parties making the ch e a s rg can sub sequent expenses, either for t e he to obtain a conviction, and the prions e t c h u is t , ion as or in th e e n d u efe o r t i h c e e r . case, take their own meastcr recommend the board " The Commissione suspend the master and matron until the master must, of course, Commissioners of guardians that they alsoohisreocwomn in charge of the workhouse. The result of the indictment and information is known, and place some other personsthis is, discre tion of doing this is, by the regulations of the Commissioners, vested in the board of guardians. The Commissioners can dismiss, but this of course is a:step implying a final decision on the merits of a case, on which no evidence as regards tke master is yet before the Commissioners, and on which they must be understood as expressing no opinion whatever. " Mr. Parker, Assistant Commissioner, will be directed, on he receipt of a copy of this letter, to suspend all further inquiry until the result of the indictment and information shall be known, since the continuance of such proceedings in the inter val might be held to prejudice the case one way or the other. " The Commissioners request that you will notify to them, as soon as possible, the exact cases which you desire to select in such a form as to enable the indictment and information to be properly Prepared forthwith. The Commissioners have no objection to both of them being seen by your solicitor before they are finally settled. They also request, with reference to the former, that you will supply them with the list of witnesses necessary in your opinion to support the bill before the grand jury. _ _ " I am, Sir your most obedient servant, ( Signcd) " GEORGE COODE, Assistant Secretary. To T. C. Westlake, Esq." Thus, for the present, the inquiry is brought to a close, just as all the evidence for the prosecution had been adduced, and before one witness had been called for the defence. - _ ACCIDENT AT CRlCKET.—Wednesday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to George Pollen, a lad of about fourteen years of age, residing in Rupert-street, Haymarket. Whilst playing at cricket with some youthful companions in the Regent's-park, and in the act of catching at the ball, it struck him in the right eye with fearful violence, so much so as to completely burst that organ. He was instantly conveyed to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood, and every attention that medical means could suggest were ls employed, but we are sorry to add that the loss of vision • irreparable. ...
