It is pro Posed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull. at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will he made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway 'I he communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried , orward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingh sin and Gainsborough Railway, or by a hue springing out of the line ffoni :Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Htimber,ror New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birral,Ninun and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolvc , r'tampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already emu nwrate The . li - iport of Feveral companies will be enlisted in favour of the which, together with its own merits, will eumre its success in Parliament. AA a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. iii lepett ly of the advantages to be derived by a direct COITUTIII r letition between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in:timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. 11,te revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to :Cottingbain awl Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham bunt, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conteynnee of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors awl share!iolders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. wtbscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit unta the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his ttbauiption. usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of We line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a ineittber of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cate% cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. - - Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares ' may ba had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebr o kers, ✓iz, :—Messrs.

SECRETARY--jOhll Trevor, Esq. This railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cla verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other project d lines to all parts of England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South She opshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and tho Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cast of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider; wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easistcommunication to and from the central parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced In competition with its acknowledged claim on public suoport. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the Interests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. - Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No applications for shares can in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one ofthe Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

It will then proceed across to Moira coal field, and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton, Campville, and Edingal.,, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and thence proceed to join the Trent Valley Railway, thus completing the route to Stafford. At Alrewas it forms a junction with the South Staffordshire line, by that means reaching Lichfield. By the junction with the Trent Valley, and by means of the North Staffordshire line, it will afford a direct communication with the Potteries, Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. This railway will supply the link in the great chain of central com munication, east and west, and has met with great local support. By order, J. STANWAY, 3, Adelaide-place.

SECRETARY —Philip N. Scanlan , Esq. This Company has been fig med for the purpose of opening a line of railway communieatio. between Calais and Bruges, passing through important districts of France stud Belgium containing a population of above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State Railway at Bruges, which has now become the most direct route to the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prussia, and the countries east of the French frontier. In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac ticable to make the journey with elm In one day, and at two-thirds of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene rally, and particularly to ladies and invalids, is exceedingly dis agreeable, and often attended with serious consequences. It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the passenger traffic between the two capitals, London and Brussels, to gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp, and Gheut, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these circumstances, drawn into this channel; and another important ad vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be found in the transmission of• the Belgian, German, and Prussian mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend, at a very considerable expense, and with much less certainty and ex- pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 mileE and usually made in two hours. The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows : From 50,000 passengers, who, according to the recent re turng from Ostend and Antwerp, annually visit the Conti nent and return by this route, say, from each, on an ave rage, 10s. each way •••••• • • •• •• ••. • ....... • .... £30,000 For the transport of mails from the respective Governments 10, , 00 Local traffic in goods and passengers . XllO,OOO Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated at .... 30,000 .£BO,OOO Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cent. to the shareholders, with every prospect of a considerable increase annually in the traffic, as has been by experience proved to be the result on all the...other lines in operation in Belgium, as well as other countries. The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract of country rich in-agricultural productions, presenting no natural impediments to its construction, sod would require neither tunnels nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco notnical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider able item is working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo tives ; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty. This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the other will connect in its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and Dunkirk, in France, with Furness, Illeuport, and Bruges, in Bel gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and pas sengers, indepeadent of the fereign traffic before alluded to, placing the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt. Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported by persons of the highest influence both in Belgium and France for obtaining the consent of the Belgian and French Governments to the above line ; and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a continuous line of railway raund the coast, little doubt is entertained by the Directors in Belgium, France, and England, of such applications proving successful. In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits will be returned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not exceeding live shillings. Application for prospectuses and forms of application may be made at the Company's offices, and the offices of the solicitors, 5, Basing hall-street; and W the following brokers: London—Messrs.

Capital 800,000/., in 40,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Aare. This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most influ ential names, will appear in a few days. This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge, and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingham, and Hal stead, proceeding by Thorp and {Feeley to Walton-on-the-Naze. On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway ac commodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion with Colchester and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich, and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of the North, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral dis tricts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and Worcester, North and South Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban bury, and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of Eng land, as well as opening a direct communication to the important sea port towns on the eastern coast. - A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve the harbour of Harwich, a Company has been formed to make large and commodious docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in com munication with the railways in Germany), there is no doubt bat that Harwich will •become a first-i ate seaport town for extensive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful feeder to this line. The town of Colchester is also a seaport, from which coals and goods in large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent populous towns and villages . , and goods, fl our , ma l t, & c., i n large quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this line is proposed to pass) to London and other places. Therefore, this line will open a communication much needed, and there cannot be any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and populous district of country through which it will pass, and that it will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested. From Colchester the line will proceed to the fast-improving and much-admired watering place, Walton-on -the-Naze, passing through Thorp and Weeley, and thereby afford railway accommodation from the midland counties to that place of summer resort for sea-bathing. Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits and all calls until the line is opened. Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith ironed, and, in the mean time, applications for shares may be made to the Solicitors, George Weller, Esq., 8, King's-road, Bedford-row, London ; George Pell, jun., Esq., Welford, Northamptonshire ; and George Cooke, Esq., Northampton.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns In the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis. beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingliam, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worc,es'er, Coventry, t nd the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel to that seaport. The lengmh of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the exziense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railavay can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both In passengers and hi goods traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for co:uplying with the standing orders, and enabling theta to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

" Shall CROXWELL have a statue in the new Houses of Parliament ?" is a question that seems calculated, notwith standing all that has been written on the rubject, still to form the subject of a " very pretty quarrel." As we happen to have been the first to direct public attention to the originally proposed omission of this illustrious warrior and statesman from the Com missioners' draught list of English Worthies to be commem orated in the halls of the British Legislature, we feel ou:rselves scarcely at liberty to exercise the option of retiring fr ore the discussion on its revival by the appearance of the " Fourth Report of the Commissioners on Fine Arts." But, teekras as it would otherwise be to reiterate the grounds on which we are to contend for what will appear to the convic'tio•ns of every dispassionate reader of English history a self-evident proposition, the wailings of the Morning Post on the delinquencies of the Commissioners cannot fail to furnish, ample amusement to counterbalance everything that is wer trisome in the matter. The report itself, too, is a do currne nt so replete with inconsistencies, that there can be no lack of novelty in the treatment of the subject, if we do not avni I ourselves of some of the more startling passages upon wld ch we have just fallen. "Commissions of Taste" and " Commissions of the to Arts," invariably determine in this country in miserable rerdorts, or still more worthless constructions in brick and s'ame. Without a moment's hesitation we must rank the " Fourth Report," now before us, among the number ot those periodical extravagances which the British Go vernment or Parliament commit, with all pomp argil circumstance, against the " taste" and the " arts" they take under their especial patronage. The list of the members of this Commission involves so incongruous an as semblage of names as to prepare us, to some extent, for the incompatible. resolutions at which they arrive, while affinities of omnoiseeroship and taste in the Fine Arts approximate the perceptions of the Duke of Sutberland, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Francis Egerton, Lord Ashburton, Gaily Knicht, Mr. Samuel Rogers, and Mr. George Vivian— all of fteem munificent patrons and acknowle.'ged judges of art, w ith Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, or the Earl of Lin coln, or - Mr. Thomas Wyse—it would be abundantly pleasant, did our time allow of such a diversion, to inquire. Mr. MACAU LAY is too universal a genius not to make it dangu.ous to question the propriety of adding him to the list o'l the Commission ; but why Lord MAnoN and the Earl of SHREWSBURY, a mediocre historian and an unsuccess ftd pamphleteer, should be associated, together with Mr. 8.. HAWES, and Sir James GRAHADri In a tribunal of judgment vrpon matters connected with the Fine Arts we are utterly lac Able to understand. The Commissioners report that "many situations fur statues consist of niches only, which, in accord s nce with the style of Gothic architecture adopted, are uni fFormly narrow, not exceeding two feet in width ; that there :are also situations where insulated statues might be fitly placed ; and we conceive that, with a view both to conve nient inspection, and the expediency of affording opportu nities for displaying the abilities of the artists, the last-named situations are the most important." They further submit that sixinsnlated marble statues might be conveniently placed in S6Stephen's porch, and that six such statues might be conveniently placed in St. Stephen's Hall ;" and they are at once prepared to recommend that "statues of Marlborough and liNTelson be placed in St. Stephen's porch, and that statues of Selden, Hampden, Lord Falk land, Lord Clarendon, Lord Somers, Sir Ro bert Walpole, Lord Chatham, Lord Mansfield, Bur'Xe, Fox, Pitt, and Grattan, be placed in St. Stephen's hall." But which is the porch and which the hall of St Stephen, since Mr. Barry, or Prince Albert's suggestion, alte red the working plans approved of by the Lords' Com mit tees for superintending the building, by the creation of an enormous excrescence on his orignal design in the shape of a, new gallery ? At p. 12, we find a foot note that does but the more bewilder us as to these localities. " The names of various apartments have been altered and finally (more last words !') determined, since the date of this memo randum. The principal landing place is called the Nor mars Porch; the Victoria Gallery is called the Royal Gallery; the Lobby to the House of Lords is called the Viotoria Hall." We do not, however, attach much imoca - tance to this difficulty of ours; for, no doubt, by the 'close ot the first week of the next session the whole no me nclature of these portions of the fabric sill be again trans fort m md. We hasten, is the first place, to sympathise with our ted Contemporary. The signatures of the Commis sions .rs, he observes, " sufficiently testify not only what is to be d one, but what is to be left undone." Under both heads there is matter for deep regret. After all that has " recently beeei said on the subject . . . public feeling and national ch u•acter are alike violated by the Commissioners in assign log a niche to the statue of Cromwell, the regicide." . . " And who do our readers suppose is excluded to make room for this treasonable homicide? There is to be no statue of . Xing Charles . the First." Now, the over-sensi tive attaehment of the Morning Post to all that pert lilts to royalty, from its crown to its coachman, is here bets eyed into some inacuracy. We blush to say, that in M.eraorandum A, at p. 9, sixty-three names, of which they unanimousll, agreed to report as worthy of these statuary honours, the name of the mighty Protector does not occur. Itt Memorandum B, p. 10, a list of fifty-eight names, as to which the "Committee were not unanimous, but decided by greater or smaller majorities," the name of Cromwell is to be found, smuggi ed in, as it were between those of the Marquis of kontreie 'an General Monk. The Post is, thefefore premature, at }east, in asserting, " that a niche is assigned go the great and victorious champion of the rights of the Euglish Commonwealth and people, agains the unprinciple(l opprPsions of the ~ t..cc.nd of the S7u3-t , . T;•ot whesefite,asourt'oniemporar'vremarks.''l annually reo ewe in our remembrance by a solem peni: ential service, appointee by the Church. But the Post is at any rate coneie tent. If it rave with impotent vituperation against the grea, asserter of English rights and liberties at home, and English power and influence abroad, it is, as in duty bound, abso lutely maudlin over the grave of a smooth-faced but remorse less ruffian like Dundee, or the " Royal Lit Claverhouse," or a base Court sycophant and spiritual tyrant, like his " Laud, the Prelate and Martyr ;" and he was a martyr—to his meditated but unsuccessful treason to the Protestant Church and the principles of the reformed religion. But what—leaving our unhappy Contemporary to his Jeremiads over the honours intendtd for " the rebel Hampden and the conspirator Russell"—what shall we say to the seven Commissioners, Lord Mahon, Sir Robert Inglis, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Hallam, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Wyse? What shall we say to the seven Englishmen who, being unable to come to an unanimous resolution to commemorate with honour such a man as Cromwell, are unanimous in voting statues in this great temple of history and legislation to so " small a deer" as Richardson, the novelist, to an annalyst of no higher pretensions than " Vene rable Bede," or to a writer so entirely identified with polemical divinity and " ecclesiastical polity as Hooker," whilst the) find no place for David Hume, and provide uo pedestal for so profound and logical a theologian as Bishop Butler ? It seems to us that they have done well in negativing such absurd propositions as erectirg statues in the nation's palace to players and fiddlers ; fur, with all our passion for music and our admiration for dramatic excellence, we should indeed have thought the sculptured effigies of " Purcell and Garrick," (gravely proposed, it seems,) in such goodly company misplaced. Mr Hallam, even, one of the clearest-headed and most instructive of modern historians, has not escaped the confusion of ideas which seems to be .contagious among these Commissioners. There are 18 niches, about the appropriation of which he is extremely solicitous. He writes thus to Mr. Eastlake : " But while it would have been easy to recommend for the 18 niches in the House of Lords, the effigies of the Arch bishop and some other ecclesiastics, with these 16 Barons, whom we find recited in the charter," &c. Now, 16 Barons, with an Archbishop (counted only for a single pre late) and " some" other ecclesiastics, therefore two or more, make at the lowest computation, nineteen. Is it Mr. Hallam's purpose to have two in one niche, like two in a bed? Let us return, however, to the two lists, A and B. It being our feeling that from this collection of " British worthies" all purely controversial writers, however illus trious in the army of polemists—and all pensioned patriots, however eminent for their talent at all times, and their pure love of country at only certain periods of their career— should be excluded. We have no objection to Archbishops Usher and Leighton, Jeremy Taylor, Chillingworth, Barrow, and John Wesley, remaining on list B. But, in common fairness, the seven Bishops who so nobly opposed at so muce personal peril, and under so many circumstances of suffering and imprisonment the delinquencies of the Sovereign and the Government, in the reign of James 11., ought to be commemorated with due honour in a hall of statues that is adjacent to the House of Peers. We have already avowe, our own opinion of Charles L Yet we must ask why in was proposed in list B to give statues to Lord Fe di land and Lord Strafford, and yet to omit the unhapp:. but not badly intentioned monarch—able, arid accomplished, and even brave Prince as he was—in whose cause both these nobles perished—the one, gloriously, on the field of battle; the other, ignominiously, on a scaffold? W hy Lord Heath field should be promoted tci list A, and Wolfe, Aber cromby, Moore, or their illustrious predecessors in the rank of great English Captains of former centuries, the Talbot and the Chanclos, be pushed back into the limbs of list B, surpasses our comprehension; These are inconsistencies that the public will indignantly resent. What can have induced the adoption of the Earl of Surrey and Cowper as amongst the noblest of our poets, to the exclu sion of Ben Janson or Dryden, and Pope or Goldsmith, and Burns e we cannot at all perceive. For the reason we hay. alleged, we complain not of the omission of Walpole, or Burke, and Grattan (both of them pensioned patriots), but why Cardinal Langton (" clarum et venerabile nomen"), the munificent founder of English education, Cardinal Wolsey, or that incorruptible and most able diplomatist, Sir William Temple, or the true martyr, Lord William Russell, should find no statues in such a collection, is a portentous inconsist ency only to be mated by the ingenious estimate of royal and military greatness which decrees a statue to his Royal High ness Field Marshal Prince Albert, but rejects the claims to a similar honour for Richard Cceur de Lion, Edward 1., Ed ward 111., the Black Prince, Henry V., and William 111. !! (FROM OUR CITY CORRESPONDENT.) The long-expected notice has been issued from the Bank of England, raising the rate of interest. It is as follows : "Bank of England, Oct. 16, 1845. " At a Court of Directors, held this day, it was resolved that the minimum rate of interest on London bills and notes, discounted at the Bank of England, be 3/. per cent., such bills and notes not having more than 95 days to run." Madrid papers of the Bth state that great indignation had been excited in the capital by the dismissal of Senor VALOR, the judge who presided at the trial of MAnoz, LOPEZ, COR TINA, and others. The reason assigned for this unconstitu tional step is that VALOR allowed some of the defendants to attack the Government, which they had a right to do, during their defence. This only shows that there is little chance of justice in a country where the judges are dependent on the Government. The Gazette publishes the following notifica tion, dated September 30, from the Finance Minister to the Royal CommisA tier of the Bank of San Fernando :—" her Majesty the QUEEN orders me to inform, you that the Trea• sury having paid into the San Fernando Bank the sum o 135,087,579 reals, instead of the 120,000,000 eals s tipulated in the second article of the convention concluded with that establishment on the 30th of June last, the said convention will continue in force during the next months of October, November, and December, on the terms therein stipulated." The new tax, it appears, is is ell paid, and already begins to ease the Finance Minister of some of his difficulties. A r,,yal order has consequently been issued for a monthly dividend on account of the Pa , siv, Debt, amounting to 160,000/. No business was done on the Bourse on the Bth. Most of the Paris journals publish the intelligence in the Semaphore de Illarseiles, announcing the surrender of 20, French soldh-rs to a body of Arabs under AJ3D-EL-KADEK. The facts are thus stated in that journal, and are not contra dieted by the Ministerial papers :—"A small garrison having, sent to General CAVAIGNAC for a reinforctinenr, which itt weakness in a country in lull revolt, and haunted by num bers of ABD-EL-KADER'S bands, rendered absolutely neces . - ary, the General, in order not to reduce the strength of hi, main body, selected from the field hospitals 200 men, who were sufficiently convalescent to resume their service, adtii4 to them a detachment of Zouaves. This small column pro'- ceeded on its march, but was soon surrounded by clouds of Arabs, who were at once recognised as part of ABD-EL KADER'S troops, ready to inflict upon these 200 soldiers ti, same fate as that by which the brave men were immolate:. at Djemma Ghazaouat. This feeble party could nut attempt to defend themselves without the certainty of falling to b man, and thus affording to the ferocious Arabs the triumpl: of another butchery. They were therefore constrained to do what was never before seen in Africa—to lay down thei, arms and surrender themselves prisoners to AED-EL-KADER." These continued disasters have induced the Government to dispatch additional reinforcements with the least possible de lay. A telegraphic dispatch reached Marseilles on Friday, ,ordering the immediate embarkation of the two regiment, forming the garrison of that town. Seven Government steamers were to be employed in transporting to Oran the different regiments, and the Prince DE JOINVILLE, it wat. said, would sail in command of a small fleet to the coast 01 Morocco, for the purpose of cruising off Tangiers and Moga dore during the operations of BUGEAUD. IBRAHIM PACIIA who still remains at Pisa, was expected to visit the south Of France, and Paris also, if his health would permit. One o, the Paris journals says :—" The Marquis DE LATALETTE to set out on the 22d of this month for Lucca, to invite, the name of the French Government, Isrtanzit PACHA to visit Paris, as soon as his health will permit. It is not sup posed, however, that the Egyptian Prince can take this journey at present, as the air of Paris is prohibited to him as being too damp. He will piss some time probably in one of the southern cities of France." Louis PHILIPPE arrived from St. Cloud on Tuesday to preside at a Cabinet Council to be held on that day. His MAJESTY, it was said, would shortly proceed to Fontainbleau We subjoin other extracts from the papers : "It appears from a table published by the Journal des Chemins de Fer that the receipts of the Paris and Rouen Railroad for the first nine months of the present year hay, exceeded those of the corresponding months of last year by rather more than 500,000 f.; those of the Paris and - Orleans Railroad have increased nearly 570,000 f. ; there has been an increase of about 40,000 f. on the St. Germains Railroad; and a decrease of more than 10,000 f. on the Versailles Railroad ( Right Bank), and of nearly 70,000f:on that of the Left Bank. " The Commerce says that the Prefect of the Dordogne has been ordered up to Paris by the Government, in order to account for the publication of 3larshal Bug .aud's offensive: letter. " We learn from Lucerne, by a letter of the 9th inst., the' the investigation respecting the death of M. Leu is concluded, and the decision come to is, that he was murdered by a per s at named Muller, an inhabitant of the canton, who has bee , , for some time confined in the House of Correction in the city on suspicion, but is now transferred to a more secure prison. as it has been discovered that plans were mAle to facilitate the escape of the prisoners in the House of Correction. Tw. captains in the army of that canton, named Barth and Ulmi have been sentenced to death, for t he part they took agai.,s the Government in the late rebellion; but it is supposed that the Grand Council will spare their lives." The following is an extract of a letter from St. Peters burgh of the 20th September, published by the Augsburg', Gazette : " Every one here believes that the Emperor, in the emir: of his journey to the eastern parts of the empire, will vi the seat of . war. No one envies the position of Princi Woronzoft; and the old Russian party, which obtained the situation for him, is stupitied. Since the death of the, Gram: Duchess Alexandra, and that of General Benkandorff, the latter of whom was replaced in the suite of the Emperor by Counts Orloff and Klenantschell, toile influence of the old Russian party has preponderated. The blow given to it by the defeat of General Woronzoff will, theref ,re, be the mor , severely felt. If one of this party had succeeded in the Can caetq, the members of the Equestrian..
