The only safe course to be taken with regard to it is also the only im mediate one. The Prime Minister must assume, if he would avert responsibility for the cata•trophe which the • advent of winter must otherwise bring with it, the grave poli tical responsibility of advising the Crown to issue an Order in Council, virtually suspending the whole niachinery of sliding scales end present prices, and price-adjusted duties. He must make the importation of foreign corn free for some weeks to come. It is true this proceeding may still more embitter the resentment already kindled in the ranks of the landed interest against him. Better for him, and for them, that such a result be challenged at once, than that both themselves and he should incur the more terrible resentment of a needlessly starving and justly irritated people. It is true that such an Order in Council will be jealously re garded by other classes of the community, on grounds of less selfish and more constitutional displeasure than those of the landed interest, at such an intervention with the working of Acts of Parliament. But he has only to carry in with him on the first day cf the session a Bill of Indemnity, and it will be carried by the concurrent acclamations of three fourths of the people of the United Kingdom. which was also wounded, was borne to the ground with his rider. The officer, notwithstanding, wished to continue his way, but the King, who had given orders to stop, would not permit it. The wound will not, it is thought, prove dangerous. A letter from Florence states that the family of Prince Jerome Bonaparte has just been atilicted with a moat cruel misfortune. 'The Prince de Montfort, the eldest son of the ex-King of West phalia, and brother of the Prince, who came to Paris this year, bas been suddenly struck with mental alienation. He held hi the army of the King of Wurtemberg, his uncle, the rank of Colonel, and it was at Stuttgard that the malady declared itself. He has been removed from Germany to Florence to his family, but there Is not, it is said, much hope of cure. " Captain Olivier, the newly appointed Governor of Senegal, is to take his departure from Brest in the course of a week for the seat of his Government, in the steamer Phoque, which will remain at his disposal, and explore the river as high as the cataracts of Govitie. OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA AND CHINA. (Abridged from the Times.) This mail brings intelligence from Lahore, where the Go vernment of the Queen-Mother and her brother, the Wuzeer, is in a precarious state. Pechora Singh continues master at Attock, on the Indus, and has beaten some troops sent against him. He has been joined by Tej Singh, the well knowx successor of General Avitabile, as Governor of Peehawur, who is disgusted with the treatment which he and his relatives and friends have received from the Govern ment at Lahore. The wily old chief, Ghoolab Singh, has contrived to get away, on leave, from Lahore : and has re treated to Jamoo, where he is watching the course of events, and regu'ating the web of his intrigues for his future ad vancement. The Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, was to quit Calcutta on the 23e1 of September. He embarks at Bar rackpore, and will receive the last salute which Serampore can give as a Danish settlement, for it is about to be ceded immediately to the British authorities. The deaths are mentioned cf two gallant officers, Major- General Considine and Major Leece, of the Bombay Ar tillery, who had distinguished himself during the late cam paign in Affghanistan. From Sinde little is known; tranquility pervades its dis tricts. The small expedition to Kusmore on the banks of the Indus above Sukkur has returned to Hydrabad. Sir Charles Napier was at Kurrachee, whither the 2d Regiment of Bengal Europeans was marching from Upper Sinde in order to secure its health on the subsiding of the Indus. There has been much talk respecting the letter written by Lieutenant-Colonel Outram to General W. Napier, in which strong charges are brought against Sir Charles Napier. Indignant at them, Sir C. Napier had asked for a court martial, either on himself or Colonel Outram, which were both declined by the Governor-General, on the ground that such an investigation was not requisite, and would lead to the production of evidence which the nature of the service did not require to be made public. In the interior of India tranquility prevails. Further details of the horrible crimes of the Ameers of Sinde have come to light, greatly to the dismay of those who upheld them as "innocent and injured Princes." Mr. R. Montgomery Martin has arrived with this mail from Bombay. His object in coming to Eng land is to show the errors committed by the British Plenipotentiary who made the treaty with China, in having selected the insalubrious and barren rock of Hong Kong, instead of the fertile island of Chusan as the British emporium in China. Hong Kong is a useless acqui sition, or rather it is a charnel-house for her Majesty's regi ments, one of which must be sacrificed every three years, in order to maintain it a•s a British colony. It would be worth the while of the British Government to take notice of the intrigues of the actual French diplomatists in China. They have come there to seize every advantage which Great Biitain does not retain ; and, amongst their present schemes, is one existing in their secret treaty for getting Chusan to be their island and emporium, as soon as the Bri•• tish relinquish that position next year. As they are but mere imitators of the English, it has been recommended to give them up Hung Kong, and to retain Chusan. It is an undoubted fact that Great Britain would then only acquire the advantages to which she is entitled; from the past trans action it is universally admitted that it would be an act of consummate folly to give up Chusan in order to its being appropriated by the French. The appointment of Mr. Davis to be the Governor of Hong Kong was, as it now appears, a blunder, for the Chinese do not respect him, and he cannot converse i❑ their language. One of the boldest, most talented, and most experienced British diplomatists ought to be sent without delay to settle with the Chinese Court as to the continued appropriation of Chusan. The French intrigues in the Pacific are now directed towards out-generalling England in China, and un less immediate care be taken the germ will be there created of a bloody conflict with that power even in the Chinese territory, such as was formerly the case in India. Three of the newly acquired ports are good for nothing as places of trade, viz., Amoy, Fow-chow-foo, and Ningpo. There is more British trade carried on at Chusan in a month than in those three places in a year. The facts, of which we give here an outline, are of sufficient importance to require the immediate dispatch to China of a man of judgment. The name of the Earl of Ellenborough is well known in the East. It would not be beneath his dignity to go to arrange the difficulties which are now arising with the Chinese. If this matter be ne glected, there is a proximate chance of another war with the Celestial Empire, in which the schemes of France will have contributed considerably to embarrass the good intentions of England. Lagrene, the French agent at Canton, appears to ex pect to proceed without delay to Pekin on a special mission, iu the same manner as the actual Russian Ambassadcr. The news from China comes down to the 10th of July, and does not contain any remarkable fact. Trade was dull at Canton and in the other four ports. The ship C. C. of Lon don was burned in the Chinese seas on the 21st. Crew saved by the Judith, of Liverpool. The cholera, after having ravaged many places, was de creasing. The rains in some places overflowing, in others, particularly at Bombay, rather scanty; the quantity fallen in the last-named place was little more than 53 inches. Railways were proposed at each of the Presidencies, and with the greatest hopes of success. The utility of one from Bombay to Bengal will become manifest, from the fact that the mid-monthly mails of the 24th of July were conveyed in a steamer from Aden to Bombay, and thence sent express to Calcutta, where they arrived thirty six-hours before those sent by the steamer direct from Aden. Amongst the miscellaneous items of intelligence we may mention the establishment of a new bank at Bombay, which is called the " Commercial Bank," and the incorporation, by an Act of the Legislative of the Assam Company, for the cul tivation of tea. The arrival of the Hindostan steamer on the 3d, with Mr. Simms, Mr. Stephen - on, and the railway surveyors who ac company him, has given new life to the railway proceedings. Nothing can exceed the earnest anxiety of the Governor- Gene•al upon the subject. All is bustle and activity. A commission, consisting of Col. W. N. Forbes, Col. Cheape, Capt. Greene, and Capt. Goodwyn, with two civilians, and two mercantile men, has been already decided upon, and will, in all probability, appear in Government orders in the next Gazette. " The Corsican journals publish a long account of a dinner given by some of the principal inhabitants of Ajaccio, in honour of the visit of M. Odilon Barrot, who had arrived there a few days previously. In returning thanks for the toast to his health, M. Barrot made an animated speech, in which he informed the com pany that his visit to Corsica was for the purpose of making him. self better acquainted with its wants and its resources, and ex pressed his indiguation at the attempts which had sometimes been made to describe Corsica rather as a foreign colony than an essential part of the French kingdom. On the 30th ult. M. Barrot left Ajaccio for a tour in the interior." On the Paris Bourse on Wednesday the Three per Cents closed at 82f. 75c. ; the Five per Cents., 1171. 60c. ; the Or leans Railroad shares, 1,207 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,0301. ; Havre, 850 f. ; Avignon, I,olof. ; Vierzon, 7401. ; Bordeaux, 625 f. 50c ; Boulogne, 600 f. ; Troyes and Moutereau, 505 f. ; Basle, 275 f. By the Levant mail we have received intelligence_ from Constantinople to the 7th inst., Alexandria the 10th, Athens the 9th, and Malta to the 15th. It appears from some ac counts that a misunderstanding had taken place between the French Minister at Constantinople and the Porte, relative to the government of Syria. Some time since a French priest had been shot by one of the Druse chiefs, and the French Consul at Beyrout had demanded of the Turkish authorities of that place that the culprit (named ABOU NEKED) should be shot, without a trial, in the presence of the crew of a French vessel of war. The Porte objected to this, and de clared that the accused should have a fair trial, and if condemned receive the punishment due according to the Turkish laws. A trial accordingly took place and all the members on the commission declared that there was no evi dence to show that ABOU NEKED was the murderer of the PADRE CARLI, or had participated otherwise than having been present commanding the attack on the village, along with other Druse Sheikhs; and here the matter rests. The proposition of the French Consul, to say the least of it, was contrary to all rules of justice. Any Consul who could demand that a man should be put to death without trial, would in all civilised countries be put down for a madman. Accounts from Athens state that considerable excitement prevailed in the Chamber of Representatives, and that the Ministry had only been able to carry the budget of extraordinary expendi ture by a majority of one vote. The Aliniteur Grec gives, however, a satisfectory account of the state of the country generally. 'MEHEMET ALI h-ft Cairo on the 4th inst., to be present at the marriage of his daughter with CA3IEL PACIIA. Sir JAMES EmEnstes TENNENT arrive d at Alexandria on the 7th from Eng'.aed, and contemplated visiting Thebes and Upper Egypt before his departure for Ceylon. Not a word is said in the intelligence from Malta respecting the yellow fever, saia to have br. ken out in the island. The French vessel which brought the news to 111arseilles reached that place on the 16th, while we havo news to the 15th. The report, there fore, is entirely unfounded.

From all accounts the people seem disposed to submit quietly to the new income-tax. A rumour prevailed that it was the in tention of the Government to reduce to a considerable extent the present military establishment, and we can easily be lieve that the Finance Minister, as well as some of his colleagues who are labouring to restore public credit, would gladly adopt such a measure, but without the consent of NARvAEz we fear they can do nothing. The garrison of Madrid has been greatly increased lately to keep order, it is said, during the municipal elections. Some transactions took place on the Bourse, but to no great amount. The Five per Cents. were done at 22 for 'cash, but the Threes were not quoted. TO SMALL S ECULATORS. Calm your fears, and wait until the temporary storm has passed over. Do not haste to throw yourselves into the pit, that it may be quickly filled—emulate not the victims of Juggernaut, who run a. race for the honour of sacrificing; but hold ! hold ! ! hold ! ! ! and shares will again rise. What. are the causes of this sudden shock? not any real but a combi nation of imaginary ones. A fear of calls and registration of scrip ! a fractional advance of interest on the part of the Bank I and a rage for allotments in no matter what fresh "junction" may be advertised. These small - shadows of shades have an effect upon weak and timid minds : a rush of stock into the market is the consequence, and the already successful and bold speculator will now come forward, and by purchasing at this time lay the foundation of a fresh, per haps? five hundred per cent., increase of fortune. The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and share market, at the close of business on Wednesday, are mueh more favourable. The panic appears to have completely sub sided, and prices were gradually recovering. The Three per Cents. had advanced about 25c., and the Fives 20c. A con siderable improvement had also taken place in railway shares. The papers are still occupied with discussions on the retirement of Marshal SOULT, of which little doubt now remains. It is only a question of time, and that too very short, for the veteran feels himself oppressed with the infir mities of old age, and is desirous to have some repose before he closes his long and active life. It appears that he will resign the portfolio of the war department as soon as a tem porary successor can be found, but retain fur some time yet the office of President of the Council. The following extract from the Journal des Debuts warrants these statements : INUNDATION AT HAMBURGH. We arc indebted for the following information to the Se cretary of the General Steam Navigation Company. The news was brought by one of the vessels belonging to the company, which arrived in the river this morning:— A most disastrous inundation occurred on Saturday morn ing last at Hamburg'', which flooded a large portion of the town situated near the river. The wind during the previ ous night was from the north-west, blowing heavily. It was high water about 8.45, A.M., but considerably be fore that time the water had risen to a height many feet above the ordinary high-water level, and at last acquired a height far surpassing any tide since 1825, when the outer light .ship at the entrance of the Elbe foundered, and Hanover was nearly under , water. To those who know the town of Hamburgh the effect of the inundation will be apparent, when it is explained that the water communi cation between the river and the ornamental water called the Aister, formed by the ordinary water-gates, was not suf ficiently high to prevent the flow of the tide over them, causing an immense body of water in the Alster. Although most of the cellars near the river were filled with water, fortunately no lives were lost. In many of the streets communications could only be carried on by boat. The water subsided, and the high tide was not experienced in the evening, and the water had much abated. "The report which has been current that Marshal Bonn in tended quitting the 'War Department, which he has directed with se much ability during the last five years, has given birth to a number of absurd suppositions. The Opposition journals have announced with the greatest assurance that the Ministry was die membered. We believe we can affirm that the Cabinet has never been more united ; that all its measures, including the most recent ones, have been taken with a perfect accord, and that, in what concerns in particular the President of the Council, all the motives attributed to his desire to retire are pure invention. Had Marshal Soult consulted only his own inclinations, and the want of repose which his long and glorious labours entitle him to claim, his colleagues would some time back have been deprived of hie aid. Several months ago the President of the Council expressed a desire to be relieved of the burden, which he believed had become toe heavy for his strength. The request of his colleagues, and of the King, have determined the illustrious Marshal to defer the accomplishment of his resolution. It is possible that lately, also, the President of the Council may have again manifested his desire in a more pressing manner ; but the King and the Cabinet are to-well acquainted with the value of the counsels of his old and profound experience, and the advatitagts that his services confer on the country, not to endeavour by every means to keep him at the head of affairs. Marshal Soul, in his long and glorious career, has too largely paid his debt to his country to be reitel.eti the repose necessary to his age and his health; but we hope it will be pos sible to conciliate his legitimate demands with the wishes of the King and of his colleagues, and that, whilst he lays down a part of the functions which weigh the most directly on him, the illus trious Marshal will retain i❑ the Council the eminent position which he has occupied to legitimately since the formation of the Cabinet. It is not at a moment when the counsels of his expe rience may be of greater utility than ever that Marshal Soult deprive his country of them ; and we have every reason to believe that he will continue to afford to the Cabinet of October 21, not only the high authority of his name, but, still more, the strongest support." It is much feared that the newly erected Gas-works have been seriously injured, its situation being very low. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY. —The Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed early walk this morning. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness again walked out in the afternoon. The Queen Dowager went in a carriage to attend the early more ing service in St. George's Chapel Royal. The k'iscounte,ss Barrington and the Eat]. of Denbigh were in waiting on her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived from Frogmore House, and visited her Majesty and the Queen Dowager. The Royal Duchess tcok leave of the Queen Dowager. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal; and the Princess Alice, were taken their usual exercise this morning. Their Royal Highnesses were again taken out in the afternoon. the Queen Dowager left the Castle at a quarter-past three o'clock for town, the Queen accompanying her august visitor to the bottom of the grand staircase, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert handing her to her carriage. The Marquis of Exeter, the Earls of Jersey and Hardwicke, the Hon. Captain Nelson Hood, Colonels Bowles, Grey, and Bouverie, were in waiting in the grand hall. The Queen was attended by the Viscountess Barrington (Lady in Wait ing) and the Earl of Denbigh (Master of the Horse). The royal dinner party this evening will.include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Baroness de Speth, and Col. Sir George Couper. The band of the Grenadier Guards attended during dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attended in the Castle. The engineer officers have alreaily been actively engaged in obtaining such information as they conceived could be of service to the cause, and among other valuable results may be especially mentioned the decision to which these gentle men have come in regard to the practicability and ease with which thelinc can be carried across the hilly range, after leav ing the alluvial plains of Bengal, a point on which opinions were expressed very confidently to the contrary, until the correct 'levels were taken by the engineer officers in charge of that portion or the road. lam not conversant with the detaiie or technical terms sufficiently to give the particulars, but it ap pears to b 3 regarded as a point of considerable consequence by the officers who surveyed the ground, and by those in terested in the railway, cs removing any doubts which might have previously existed in regard to the engineering ob stacles to be encountered. It was the general belief that Marshal BUGEAUD would be appoirteci his successor, but as he could not assume office till he bad settled affairs in Algeria, a temporary appointment would be mads. Several names had been mentioned, among others General LA PLACE, General PREVAL, and General SEBAsTiam. Some additional news had been received from Africa. The following appears in the Moniteur Algerian or the 15th inst. : " Our affairs are in a gond way in the subdivision of Medeah. Ben Salem, who is ill, is said to have quitted the camp at the Cheriff. Several douairs have abandtmed the latter, and have come to solicit the Am.. The mountaineers are less and less disposed in favour of the , insurgents. The column of Setiff was on the 22d ult, at three days' march from that of General Marcy, who was encamped at Oued.Goumaik. Nothing important has taken place in the subdivision of Milianah since our last. In the subdivision of Orteensy:lle, Colonel Saint Amend has visited the post of the Khamis, in the country of the Beni Ouraghs. After having left a reinforcement of 200 min at this pest, the Colonel being intormed that the Beni Ouraghs had revolted, and were waiting for him on the Oued Sensig, immediately marched thither, and on the 11th, at six in the morning, was in the presence of more than 3,000 insurgents. A very sharp combat ensued. Our cavalry acted, as usual, with great vigour, and the enemy left a considerable number of dead in our hands. The last courier from Oran brings no news of interest. General de Lamoriciere had sent no accounts later than the 4th, from which we infer that he was still marching forward, and that no engagement bad taken place." Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by the Vis countess Barrington and the Earl of Denbigh, arrived at her ieAidence, Marlborough House, at half past five o'clock yes terday afternoon, in a carriage and four, from Windsor Castle. his Excellency M. Dedel had an interview with Lord Aberdeen yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The Right Hon. H. L. Corry had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official resi dence in Downing-street. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.) IMPORTANT RAILWAY AMALGA- THE,BOMBAY MARKEr. MATION. BOMBAY, Seer. 15.—Although the business transacted since our last has been, from the same causes as before, but limited in extent, the aspect of the market for imports has continued fa vourable, and we have in numerous instances to report a satisfac• tory improvement in prices. Fears were at one time entertained of a failure In the crops, owing to the inadequate supply of rain; but these apprehensions have been in a great measure removed bb a plentiful fall within the last few days, and it is to be hoped the threatened injury, it not entirely averted, will be at any rate ma. terially lessened. From the present state of the market, and the prospects which are apparent, there is every reason to anticipate a hrisk demand for most descriptions of imports as soon as the com munication with the coast and the interior is fully re-opened. Metals—But few transactions have _taken place in any variety of metals, the importers holding their stocks firmly for an advance as the current rates. We quote prices of copper precisely the same as before, with the exception of the item nails, the price of Which is Rs. 2 per cwt. higher. In iron the only change is in sheet, which has improved to the extent of six annas per cwt. Pig lead is a shade higher, and quicksilver somewhat lower than last month. The prices of other articles remain stationary. A considerable sensation was caused yesterday, in Liver pool, by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham Railway Company with that of the Grand Junction, a mevsure which involves important and valuable con-equences to the proprietors, and will, it is expected, lead to results very advantageous to the public. On a calculation of the respective interests of the par ties, it appeared, that while the London and Bir mingham line yielded the full dividend of ten per cent., the Grand Junction was in a condition to pay twelve per cent., so that the equalisation of the two properties, for equal dividends in future, required that the Grand Junction shares 'should be " written up" twenty pounds per share; and it was, therefore, agreed that new shares, of twenty pounds each, should ba created free cf cost, to he added to the original shares, and the whole formed into common stock, entitled to common dividends from thelst October inst. It has been determined, also, we understand, that on the London and Birmingham line the Company will now commence being their own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will at once be made in the charges for the conveyance both of goods and passengers, so as to render the calculations upon which any project of competing lines may be based ex t reme ly unpromising. By arrangements in progress the consolidated company will proceed to establish what has long been con sidered a desideratum, a complete system of trunk lines from London to Glasgow (rid the Carlisle and the Caledonian); and from London to Holyhead; and across Ireland; and they have decided to encourage in every way the formation, into such trunk lines, of the most direct lines subserving the trade of the country.—Liverpool Mercury. Another journal, published at Algiers, states that Colonel Ganz, who was in the subdivision of Mostaganem and Mas cara, having heard that contingents had been furnished to Bou-MAzA by the inhabitants of Calah, proceeded rapidly against that town, took possession of it almost without firing a gun, and gave it up to pillage for two hours. Two hundred and fifty Arabs were killed; only the women and children were spared. The same paper confirms the report in the Toulouse journal, which we pub lished yesterday, of the assassination of Captain BILLET and some of his companions in the neighbourhood of Zebdou. It says, " A new act of treachery by the Arabs has just cost the Cot:un Manufactures—The goods which have been principally in request since the departure of the last mail have been gray and bleached shirtings, madapollams (save very low deseriptions), gray and bleached jaconets of fine quality, and domestics of all kinds. The last-named fabrics have obtained advanced prices, as have also 45. inch gray shirting. and mada pollams, and the finer qualities of bleached shirting. For the other descriptions of goods sold very full rates have, almost without exception, been paid. Satin stripes and spots, and jaconet checks and stripes, have been in fair demand. For bleached mulls, nebra dresses, and lappets, there is little inquiry, and scarcely any sales have had effect, save of the finest descriptions of the latter. Turkey red cloths are dull of sale, and the same may be said of prints of different kinds. lives of two excellent officers and some of our brave soldiers. M. BILLET, chef de bata.llon of the 41st of the line and com mandant of the post of Zebdou, had gone to visit the Caid of one of the neighbouring tribes, who had sent for him. He was accompanied by 31. MATHIEu DE DOMBASLE, lieutenant of the Zouavw, charged with Arab affairs, and was escorted by five hussars of the 2d regiment. They were all assas sinated in the tribe." DIRECT WESTERN RAILWAY.—It waS expected that the shares in this Company would have been distributed by this time, but we understand the allotment has not yet been completed. The applications for shares from persons along the projected line have greatly preponderated over those from other parts; and as the Directors very naturally wish to give preference to the former, without entirely ex cluding the latter, their office of allocation involves both time and difficulty. We are informed that the shares may not be expected before the end of next week, as the lists of allotment are undergoing a scrupulous revision.—The Railway King. The Constitutionnel, in reference to.the expenses of the new expedition, says :—"lt appears that it will cost 20,000,000 f. The expenses of the war against Morocco amounted to 20,000,000 f. Nor can we be certain to be let off for that sum. But that will depend alogether on the chances of war, and the diffi culties which the capture of the ex-Emir will present. Should he resist longer than is expected, should the ruses which he will most probably employ to escape from us be multiplied and prolonged, new cr dit' must be demanded under pain of having the campaign rendeud abortive, and the success of the soldiers compromised." There is no ex aggeration here. Vi hen the twelity millions of francs are expended. We believe Alin-EL-KADER will be as fir out of reach as ever. The Moniteur contains a royal ordon nance, calling out the f ourtcen thousand conscripts of 1844, who had been allowed to remain at home; and the Journal des Debuts announces that the adjudication of the gr, ater part of the railways, voted last session, would take place before the 15th of December, and that in a short time the Firance Minister would fix the days for adjudica Lion. A private letter states that the Frei ch Government had received a telegraphic dispatch announcing the arrival of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and also the Emperor of AUSTRIA, at Milan, on the 18th. The following are miscellaneous ex tracts from the papeis : " On Monday morning, when the King set out from St. Cloud for Chantilly, on arriving at the Porte d'Orleans, at the entrance into the Bois de Boulogne, au officer of the escort, belonging to the 7th Hussars, wishes to pass at the same time as the carriage, in order to mask the window, but the space was too narrow to allow both to p.,3s Lib1v...;,1, 'The Lacer was in mi,ctiuthce violently crushed by the whecli, and had his thigh much torn. His horse, Yarns—The lower numbers both of mule and water twist have been in brisk demand since our last, and owing to the firmness of holders, a general improvement in the prices of these counts has taken place. Nos. 20 to 50 mule have advanced to the extent of from e at I of an anna per lb., and Nos. 20 and 30 water from j at an anna. The stocks in the hands of dealers are believed to be light, and this may perhaps lead. to greater improvement. We hear of no sales in water, but soma 71 per lb. have, we believe, been refused for No. 20. Both Turkey red and orange yarns are without change in value, but the inquiry for the latter appears to have somewhat improved, and the prospects of the market are more favourable for it than before. Woollens—Woollen cloths of all deecriptions are still greatly ne glected, and the prices offered quite unremunerating. The only sale of which we have heard is one of 2,000 yards at rs. 2.6 per yard. Flannels are in somewhat better demand, though prices still continue low. We are apprised of sales of 6,700 yards at annas 11, and 920 yards at minas 6 per yard. Marine Stores—The only change we have to record in the prices of the articles under this head is an improvement to the extent of rs. 1 per barrel in coal pitch, of which 322 barrels have, as we hear, been disposed of at the rate of rs. 5 per barrel. Of tar the market is nearly bare, and consequently no transactions in this article have taken place. Paints are still without inquiry. Beer—There is no alteration to notice either in the price or de mand for the superior brand. Supplies are still held firmly, and scarcely any transactions have taken place. For inferior dese rip. tions there is no inquiry whatever. Spirits—Prices aro without change. We have been informed of a sale of 28 puncheons of rum, at rs. 1 14 per gallon. Red and White Lead—Red lead is a little lower in value tha n before. White without alteration. Of the former about 50 0 cwt. have, we understand. been disposed of at Rs. 11 10.0 •to 11.12 0 per cwt. We have heard of no sales in the latter—taut the rate quoted is, we believe, obtainable for good qualities. Cochineal—A sale has taken place, since our , lost, of 2,0001 b at Rs. 3.6.0 per lb. Dealers; however, having for the ties e supplied themselves, this price could not now be obtained. PRACTICAL HINTS FOR NEW RAILWAY COMPANIES. —The . following hints, gleaned from experience, may be of service to new companies :—To make the flanges to the wheels much . deeper, as such will be more secure and cause s a l * sao makekt ° e s confine no more friction, as they would still touch the rail only at e t N I i tvni zinc ittha,t s N h ivl e iot e i h t s i e n .t g h , e,i si o i tehryis moderate oadn q e u r i . quan tity one point. To have the sides of the passenger-carriage e t w i n t l i e ' b e o l l e f s us them t e s o d t 171 1 stations in the duct instance, but so to construct them that they may hereafter be enlarged. To paint the name of the station on the walls, so as to save the expense of the two large standard b Ards, which cost at least 20/. at each station; the word "station" is also useless. To place a large mile stone at the end of each mile, .but wine at the qua r t ers. To give the superintendents an uniform that they may b e eas i ly known. To ring a bell when the train is to start. and not call out as many do. To swear in all the police, porters, sce., as constables.—From a Correspondent. SOUTIIWARK.—We are informed that at the dinn er to be given to Sir William Molesworth, on Wednesday,. by the electors of Southwark, the Hon. Baronet is expected to be supported by a strong muster of those Members of Par liament who are prominent as advocates of free trade; and That, from the limited m culls o . ti stewards will have some difficulty in satisfying the demand for tickets. THI4: SUN, LONDON, SATURDAN. MORNING, OCTOI3FR 25, 1845. In Saffton, boqies, corks, &c., we hear of no change in value, and previous quotations for these articles are retainad. EASTERN PRODUCE Cotton—The favourable accounts from home have occasioned a further advance in the prices of Dollera and Oamrawuttee Cotton, which may be quoted at from 4 to 5 rupees higher than last month. Broach, Surat, Jumbooseir, and Barsee, severally remain without change. Transactions have been limited, and shipments comparatively small. Opium—This drug has risen since the departure of the last mail, from 11s. 1,375 to its. 1,500 per chest—at which latter rate we now fix our quotation. In other articles of Eastern produce we have no changes in prise to notice, and no transactions to record. Freights—There has been little Auctuation since our last in the rates of freight to Great Britain. The shipments of produce has been limited, but as the amount of available tonnage has been moderate, no . material decline has at any pe riod taken place. We may now quote the rates to London and Liverpool at 3/. 10s. to 3/. 12s. 6d. per ton—to the Clyde, nomi nal, and to China 16 rupees per candy. The Berkshire and Em peror have been taken up for the conveyance of her Majesty's 2d Queen's Royals to England, at the rate of 244 per man, and sail in the course of the week. MONEY MARKET. Exchange—On England has been tolerably steady since the de parture of the last mail, and may now be quoted at Is. 1 Oid. to Is. 100. for six months, and 11. 91d. for 30 days' bills—the same rates as were current on the 27th ult. On Calcutta the rate is 1001 rs. ; on Madras 99i es.; and on China 218 rs. per 100 dol lars—all at 60 days' sight. Banks—The shares of the Bombay Bank may be quoted at 52 per cent. premium, and these of the Oriental Bank at 44, both for old and new shares. A new establishment, under the deslg nation of the "Commercial Bank," is in course of organisation in Bombay. Freights—To London, 31 10s. to 3/. 12s. 7d.; to Liverpool, 31. 10s. to 3/. 12s. 6d.; to Clyde, 3/. 15s. nominal ; to China, 16rs EXCHANGES.—London, six months', is 101 d. at Is 10 , 1c1. ; 30 days' sight, Is. sid. Calcutta, at 60 day's sight, 100irs. ; Madras, at 60 day's sight, 99irs. ; China, at 60 days' sight, 218 rs. Price of Bullion,—Sovereigns each, es. 111; Bank of England Notes, per £., 111 ; Spanish!Dollars, per 100, nominal ; German Crowns, per 100, 216 to 217 ; Sycee Silver per 100 toles, 104 to 104* ; Gold leaf per tole 16 to 17. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Sept. 6.) The mail via Bombay, with dates to the 7th July, came In on the evening of the 17th ultimo, but as no material alteration had taken place in the home markets, and the intelligence as regards commercial matters was generally unimportant, operations here were not at all affected thereby. On the morning of the 2d we were somewhat surprised by the re. ceipt of further accounts from home, via Bombay, several copies of the London Mail having been forwarded by express by that route, In the hope of anticipating the arrival of the Hindostan, which they did by one day, the letters by that vessel cot having been deli vered until the evening of the 3d ; the principal topics of Interest by this opportunity are the result of the July Indigo sale, and the raising of their rate for remittances to this country by the Court of Directors from Is. 9d. to Is. 10d, per rupee, the former was what was generally anticipated by parties who took the unprece. dented extent of the sale, and the favourable accounts from this which came to hand at the time, into consideration; the latter was also looked for, but has nevertheless caused a complete cessation of Exchange operations here, it being still doubtful whether the Go vernment will raise their rate for advances or not; the general opinion, however, appears to be that they will maint,in the relative difference in rates by an equivalent advance, although some parties urge the large amount still available as likely to prevent this ; in the present slate of our market, however, we cannot see any reason for its having this cifcct, as there can be little doubt, were the next Gazette to announce the Government rate being raised to Is. I Id., that an almost equivalent advance would be immediately established in private operations, and shipments accordingly still go forward through the export warehouse to nearly if not quite their former extent. Our produce mad is not, generally sneaking, animated; the attention of most parties being still given almost exclusively to sugar ; but there has nevertheless been a moderate amount of busi_ ness done in other articles, and prices of most are firm. Almost every staple of import from Great Britain continues cult of sale even at the low rates now current, there having as yet been but very slight symptoms of the demand usually prevalent at this season ; there can however be little doubt but that this will shortly be experienced in a greater or less degree, as after the present month the facilities for transport to the upper Provinces will be considerably decreased, and the annual Hindoo festival of the Doorga Poorja, which commences on the sth proximo, will put a stop to all business for nearly a fortnight. Arrivals bare again been light, and freights have accordingly ad. vanced to our sitotations. MIDLAND GR AND JUNCTION RAILWAY. A meeting of the Provisional Committee of this Com pany was held yesterday, at the London Coffee-house, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, which was very nume rously attended by gentlemen from several and different parts of England, all of whom seemed to vie with each other in their seal in the project, and the proceedings throughout were of a most animated character. Wiit. Melville Lomas, Esq, of Liverpool, was unani mously called to the chair; after which Wm. Burdett, Esq., one of the solicitors of the Company, opened the business by detailing the proceedings which had taken place up to the present momeht, in pursuance of the carrying out of the undertaking from its first introduc tion to the public. The usual routine resolutions, all of which were una nimously agreed to, were moved and seconded by R. A. Riddell, Esq., John Holmes, Esq., Williatn Keily, Esq., New ton Crouch, Esq., J. Mannering, Esq., Capt. Twisle ton Graves, James Tracey, Esq., William Garrow, E,q., J. R. Riddell, Esq , and Robert Causton, Esq. William Burdett, EFT, Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, and J. E. Bales, Esq. , are appointed solicitors to this Company; J. U. B astrick, Esq, consulting engi neer ; and Oliver Byrne and A. B. Clayton, Esqs., acting engineers. On the motion of W. Garrow, Esq., seconded by Newton Crouch, Esq., N. J. Kempe, Esq., was proposed as secretary, on which the Chairman and several other members of the Committee bore very flat tering testimony to the abilities and general eligibility of Mr. Kempe. He was unanimously elected to the office, and on the Chairman announcing his appointment, he very appropriately expressed his acknowledgment. For the information of the Company, the engineers presented the following report : " To the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Midland Grand Junction Railway. "Gentlemen,—As a preliminary observ - ation, we may state that the progress of the surveys are such as to ensure beyond all doubt, in ample time, a compliance with the requirements of Parliament. " The terminus of the railway will be on the west of the Great Western station at Reading, and will cross the Thames on the bridge by the Henley-road, passing along a perfectly flat country, to within one mile and a half from Henley, whence it will proceed between the hills at Druids' Temple, (the Thames at these points being about 150 feet bread), The line will then go near or through Great Marlow, and between High and West Wycombe, describing a segment of a circle with a radius of four miles. " From West,Wycombe to Aylesbury the line is direct, and the country flat. To the distance of about five miles beyond Aylesbury, the course is through a valley in a direct line, or nearly a dead level. " An opening then presents itself between the Quainton and Pitchcot-hills, where a slight cutting will be found necessary to enter into a level and continuous valley, through which it is proposed to lay the rail, cutting the base of Zion house-hill and Claydon-hills to the east of Padbury, from thence passing the River Ouse to a proposed station within a quarter of a mile of Buckingham. From Buckingham it is proposed to pass through Whittlewood Forest in a straight line, the country here being highly favourable. After passing the forest, the country through which the line is pro posed to be carried is in some degree interspersed with hills, the valleys of which, however, with the assistance of slight cuttings, may be made to connect so as to form a continuous and easy line, until it connects itself with the London and Birmingham Railway at the station at Blisworth, where there is at present a branch line, about four miles long, into Northampton, which continues on to Peterborough. Here will be the terminus of the projected line of the Midland Grand Junction, and we cannot conclude our report without observing that we have seldom witnessed a railway present ing, front one end to the other, fewer difficulties in the con struction of it. " We are, Gentlemen, your very obedient servants, • " OLIVER' iIYRNE, I Acting Engineers." " A. B. CLAYTON, A long and animated discussion ensued respecting the constitution of the Committee of Management, when the following gentlemen were unanimously chosen, viz.:— William Bradley, Esq. John Holmes, Esq. T. Byroni, Esq. W. Kempe, Esq. Wm. Byrom, Esq. J. C. K'ngston, Esq. W. Caldwell, Esq. W. M. Lomas, Esq. B. S. Fowler, Eeq. R. A. Riddell, Esq. • Thos. Wynne, Esq. H. Tailor, Esq. W. Garrow, Esq. Richard Deily, Esq. Captain Twisleton Graves A. M. M.Moran, Esq. JOHN HOLMES, Esq., suggested that, in order to faci litate the business of the Company, two Vice-Chairmen should be appointed to assist the Chairman, which was agreed to. After some conversation, the Committee resolved to defer the appointment of the Chairman and the Vice- Chairman for the south. W. Melville Lomas, Esq., was unanimously elected Vice-Chairman of the Company, for the purpose of pre siding over the business of the northern districts. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the proceed ings, which were characterised throughout by great spirit and unanimity, then terminated. LOUGH CORRIB IMPROVEMENTS.—We have noticed with much pleasure, during the summer season and tip to this period, the improvements in progress on Lough Corrib, and we have beheld, with no little satisfaction, that while the bed of the river has been considerabley deepened, and the obstructions removed, employment has been afforded to a very numerous body of our labouring population. It is now our duty to state that the embankment has been completed, and the remainingp art of the operations are in such a state offorwardness as to give an assurance that they will soon be brought to a close. When first this undertaking was commenced, we did not look upon it in the most favourable light, but, as it advanced, we saw its usefulness, and while the government survey gave us a few figures along the banks of the river, in return for the money advanced for the prosecution of their inquiries, we have, under the present management, substantial jm provements to point out. We trust., that, before the spring, we shall have the entire work finished and the waters of the splendid lake made available for the purposes of commerce. It is au inland sea, which now runs almost waste, but must shortly become useful and profitable to the community.-- Galway Mercury.

Last evening, at six o'clock, Mr. William Carter held an Inquest at the Sea Lion Tavern, Wootton-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth, respecting the death of William Kymer Symons, aged ten weeks, the son of an engineer residing in the Cornwall-road. From the evidence of the mother, it appeared that the deceased and an elder brother were placed in bed in perfect health on the night of Sun day last; the next morning she discovered the eldest child lying on the deceased, who was quite black in the face and insensible. The deceased had evidently been suffocated by the other child lying across the deceased face. Verdict, '` That the deceased was acct. destally suffocated." SITTINGS IN CHANCERY.

THE EXETER, DORCHESTER, AND WEYMOUTH JUNCTION COAST RAILWAY, AND THE BRIDPORT AND EXETER RAIL: WAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DORSET COUNTY CHRONICLE, AND SOMERSETSIIIRE GAZETTE. Sir,—ln troubling you with a few remarks on these two projected lines of railway, I think I ought to state that lam a large shareholder in the Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey mouth, and that I am a considerable landowner in Dor set sh ire. In Trewnian's Exeter Flying Post, of Thursday last, is contained a statement that the Bridport and Exeter line " is intended to complete the only link required in the Feat line of railway on the southern coast." If such is the intention of the promoters of that scheme, it is quite clear that it can never be realised, because the present termini of the Brid port and Exeter line is at those two places only, leaving a country of twenty-two miles on the coast between Bridport and Weymouth, and sixteen between Bridport and Dorches ter (the terminus of the Southampton coast line), and surely this is a link which will require to be filled up, and a most important one. That the public may not be misled, I think it my duty, Sir, throagh the columns of your widely-circulated paper, to state that the termini of the Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey mouth Railway will be at Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey mouth; and at the two latter very important towns, it will join the coast line from Southampton, and therefore this line ' will, in fact, " complete the only link required on the southern coast." It is not reasonable to expect that th e promoters of any scheme ( whether a complete or a very incomplete one) will misrepre sent it, but to call a line of railway commencing at Bridport, and terminating at Exeter, a coast line, or to say it is in tended to complete the line on the southern coast, whilst leaving a distance of twenty miles and more between Brid port and Weymouth and Dorchester, is advancing what very few persons will believe, although repeated in the Exeter Flying Post, or any other flying post, every day in the year. Facts are stubborn things, Sir, especially when connected with projected railways. I became a shareholder, Sir, in the Exeter, Dorchester, and Weymouth Railway for several reasons :—First, because that line will, in fact, complete the line of railways on the southern coast by a junction with the Southampton line at Dorchester and Weymouth ; secondly, because in its route it will in clude the two important towns of Dorchester and Weymouth, as well as Bridport, Charmouth, Lyme Colyton, Axmouth, Sidmouth, Exmouth, and all other places on the coast to Exeter; and thirdly, because I am strongly of opinion that neither Government nor any Parliamentary Committee will be induced to adopt or countenance a line springing up about midway, and traversing part only of an integral line, to gratify the inhabitants of a particular locality with whom it may have ori g inated, and whether I am right in this belief re mains to be seen as to the towns of lloniton and Axminster, where the Bridport and Exeter proposes to run by two branch lines. These places are far away from the coast, and will shortly be reached by a direct line through those parts of Dorset and Devon. If you will find a corner for these remarks in your valuable columns, your will greatly oblige, Sir, A DORSETSIIIRE LANDOWNER. _ _ _ London, Octobcr 20, 1845. P.S. I am just informed that the promoters of the Bridport and Exeter contemplate a landslip at Bridport, whereby that town may some morning be discovered very near Weymouth. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, with a dull market, but without any alteration in prices ; 200 bales Surat went at 3d. to 4 1 Ad., and 200 Per. nam at 6 1 / 2 d. to 7d. per lb. Shares continued depressed. but there was an improvement in a few lines. Grand Junction rose 201. The accounts received this morning from the principal country markets for railway shares, are of a more satisfactory nature than was fairly to be anticipated, after the strong efforts of the Times to create alarm in the minds of the public generally on the subject of new railways. That the Times has lost a considerable degree of its hitherto really powerful influence, is a matter of no doubt among the mercantile, and the banking interests for unnecessarily, as it is freely thought, stigmatising both classes with affording undue assistance to the transactions in shares. We are not, nor never were, the advocates of what are termed the "bubble schemes" of the day. The Times puts all projects, good or bad, into one boat, and would, under the insidious plea of warning the public against further dealings in scrip, swamp the whole. As we have on a previous occasion noticed the deposits are paid upon all, or very nearly so, of the new projects that will be ready to be brought before Parliament in the next session of Parliament. To keep up the cry of an anticipated panic is mere childish ness, and the result of wounded vanity. That there is a hitch in the Cabinet seems pretty certain, and such is the report of yesterday and to-day in City cir cles, not unfrequently in possession of early informa tion upon matters which relate to the affairs f State. It is said the Duke wants to put Lord Ellen. borough into some office or other, but Sir Robert Peel does not wish to have him at any price. The Duke is is not so averse as many people think to go with the Premili• in a further alteration of the corn-laws now. This is the general statement in Mark-lane at least, where it is earnestly desired that, Van Order in Council is to be issued for the free importation of foreign bread-stuffs to make up for the deti• cient crop, it may be done as soon as possible; as, while doubts exist upon the matter, the operations in the corn trade must be checked. There has been a good supply of money stock to-day Consols have just fallen from 97 1 / 4 to 97, for the Account from 97% to 97%, Exchequer-bills to 40s. premium, the New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. from 98% to 98k, and hßaesduadcevdanTcliedreferopmer Cents. f 20.5 t r 0 0m 20 9 6 6g t i o nd 9 , 6 a l . toc ß k an is k at S 2 to4 and India Bonds at 555. premium. The market looks heavy now. Not much business was done in the Foreign Stocks to-day. The only quotations were in the Portuguese Four per Cents. at 57%, in the Spanish Three per Cents. at 371/s 1 4, in the Deferred at 12, in the Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cents. at 58% 1,2 ; in the Four per Cents. at 91 to 92, and in Colom bian Bonds at 17. The public sale of Railway Shares is in progress at the Hall of Commerce, and the attendance is pretty full. The biddings are not by any means brisk, but it is evident that parties ire 41149% to come in at lower rates for all bcm4 file projects.
