The shareholders in this Company are informed that in conse quence of the arrangements made with the intended Buckingham shire Railway Company, an option is given to the holders of London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire shares of exchanging them for shares in the Buckinghamshire Railway, in the proportion of two Buckinghamshire Railway shares for every three London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire shares. The guarantee to be given by the London and Birmingham Rail way Company to the Buckinghamshire Railway Company will be four per cent. per annum, on the cost of construction, with half the surplus profits. All parties taking shares in the Buckinghamshire Railway Com pany must pay the full deposit thereon ; and the holders of London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire Company's shares will receive back at an early date, of which notice will be given, the residue of the .deposit on such shares after payment of the Parliamentary expenses. Where the number of London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire shares (being one or two) will not admit of the allotment of Buck inghamshire shares in the proportions stated, a single share will he allotted for two London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire shares, and the deposit will be returned, subject to deduction for expenses, as aforesaid. Parties applying for Buckinghamshire shares in respect of shares in the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire Company, of which they are not the original holders, will not be entitled to an allotment until they shall have furnished such references to their re sponsibility as shall be satisfactory to the Przvisional Committee of the Buckinghamshire Railway. y , etu.Lai, Li )1 I, ITS® LONDON. TUESDAY, AUGUST. 26, 1845. The two Alcmbers for South Wiltshire, Mr. SIDNEY nERBLET and Mr. BENETT—one a Cabinet Minister, the other his Parliamentary follower—have lately at tene.c.!, and spoken at, a farmers' club dinner at .War minster; ard there is much in the time and place of meeting, in the names and characters of the speakers, and in the speeches themselves ; to give importance to the Warminst4.r or:ltory. A Nor 11 Wi't hire Member, Mr. SOTIIERON, has lately th en p,rplexing agriett'turists t,s WI fear of change; and, with stlpposed attftority from the Prime Minister him self, telling- the Wilt-hire farrcers that a repeal of the corn-'aws in a short time is certain. A Cabinet Minis tergoe down t) the affrighted neighbourhood, has the opportunity of <psaking t, a farmfrs' club, speaks, and does he • giv:- so authorit-ttive eontr:dicti , n ti the So- TfignOn anno , o:epo ? N.I strh thing ; he is content ti , give• an r•xp( a +. 4 a speech of his own, delivered s,rne onths back in the Rouse of Commons, in which b e find boo) thought to tell the agriculturists not to go Poor Mr. BENETT !—he left the Whigs because they would not protect agriculture for him, and now finds that in going to the Tories he has gone from the frying pan into the fire. Oh ! what would the old gentleman give now if he could get Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S eight shilling fixed duty of 1841 ? Mr. BENETT was particularly clamorous at War minster for the repeal of the malt-tax. " His opinion was that, instead of taking taxes off timber and glass, which no man could eat—which were luxuries out of the reach of the poor man—they should take off the malt tax. He would never cease to attack that tax for the purpose of giving to the poor man the luxury of beer. This would be better than nibbling at cheese, buttetN &c."—(A voice, " The poor man could eat cheese and butter.") Yes, indeed, the poor man could eat cheese and butter. And why not, Mr. BENETT, take the taxes off cheese and butter also, instead of glass and timber, which the poor man cannot eat ? Why not take the tax off even bread ? Is this your reason for taking the tax off malt, and not off cheese, and butter, and bread, which we find in another part of your re ported speech? " Why not take off the malt-tax—(ll , ar, hear)—thut would give them a better price for their bar ley?" Avid yet, Mr. BENETT, you would fain Lave us believe that your desire for protection, your hatred of free trade, your abuse of the League, is all love for the poor man. " That would give them a better price for their barley ;" and Mr. BENETT goes on to say, " and they could then afford to sell wheat at a lower price." But wheat at a low price, according to Mr. BENETT, in another part of his speech, is an evil for the poor man. " I am cn observer for the last fifty years, and I can tell you that at no period, when corn was cheap, have wages been high." But if Mr. BENETT can bring himself for a moment to believe, with the vulgar, that cheap bread is a blessing, why, in that moment of inspiration, will he not allow us to cheapen bread by importation, as well as through the r( peal of the malt-tax ? Mr. BENETT'S Warminster oration is, indeed, a choice specimen of bucolic logic. The ful!owing petition from the inhabitants of Cologne, dated August 14, on the subject of the pro mised constitution, was presented to the King of PRUSSIA on the 16th " Sire,—The undersigned trust that they respond to the exa'ted sentiments of your Majesty, in expressing a wish in accordance with the necessity generally felt, of obtaining from the high wisdom of your Majery the fundamental ba.is of a general representation of the people, the publication of which is anxiously expected by your loyal subjects. The citizens are anxious to obtain a greater participation in their affairs, that is, to be permitted freely to choose their municipal councillors and burgomasters. For the last thirty years your faithful subjects have awaited a blessing which they know to he con templated by the Government of your Majesty." On the 18th the King and Queen of PnussrA, accom p tided by Counts DE STOLIIERG and THIELE, Ministers .)f State, and by Baron DE CANITZ, Prussian Envoy to Vienna, arrived at Frankfort on the 18 , h, and Itft the following day for Wurzburgh and Munich. A report was prevalent at Berlin, on the 16th, that religious differences now existing in Germany •,,, ou id b e ..nade the subject of discussion in the r ..terManic Diet, with a view some 1 3.15 itive deei';.on at to the degree if freedom to be granted to th e new sect of the German Catholic Church. We learn from cne German Universal Ga:cll , !, that on the 18th a proclamation was posted at Leipsic, in forfplug the people that the KING had appointed com tnissoners to it quire into the 1. plorable events - of the 12th, who would soon arrive in that city. On the same day the Municipal Council published a document for bidding, under the severest penalties, all popular meet ings without a special permission of the authorities. The Rhine Gazette states, on the autuority of a letter from Coblentz, that whilst the King a PRUSSIA was at the Chateau of St"lzenfels a council was held, at which ,everal political question, of high iinportacee, and also tilt, question of the relig ous cliff. Tenccs in Germany, were discu sed. Prittce AfurrEaNicri, says the lettet, presided at the Council, and dint Earl of ABERDEEN and Count BRESSON were present. . Madrid papers to the 18th have arrived. That city was in the greatest agitation, and an outbreak was hourly expected. The new house taxes are excessively unpopular, and the shopkeepers of the capital have de , termincd to shut up their shops and to resist the pay ment of them. On the 18th several shops we're shut up, and it was expected that on the 19th every shop in Ma drid would be closed. The Ministers have, it is re ported, left Madrid for La Granja and Aranjuez, giving the Captain-Gentral MAZARvEDo full powers to act as he may see fit. Troops were pouring into the city, and it was said that the military would have orders to force open the shops. In the meantime the people are preparing for an emergency by laying in stores of provisions, and a bando was to be published by the political chief forbidding the closing of the shops. The aide and the Castellano both disapprove of the plan of shutting up the shops. The former has returned to its allegiance to the Government, to ►which it offers its life and fortune on the present occasion. The Queen of SPAIN and her mother arrived at Santa Aguada on the 11th inst., and on the next day her MA JESTY was to commence taking the mineral waters. The royal party on their road from St. Sebastian to Mondragan halted at Bergara for the purpose of examin. ing the monument erected, on the spot where the meeting between EsPARTEIto and MAROTo took place, at which the celebrated convention was entered into which put an end to the civil war in the Basque provinces. MADRID BOLSA.—The Three per Cents. declined they were quoted 31i cash, 311 60 days ; 15,600,000 reals done. Nothing in the other securities. We have received the French papers of Friday and Saturday. The following diplomatic changes are an nounced in the anstitufonel:— " M. Rossi, our Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Rome, only holds that office pro tcmporc, for Baron Bois le Comte is to be appointed, Ambassador to the Holy See in the room of the late M. Latour Maubourg. The post at the Hague, left vacant by M. Bois le Comte, is to be given to M. Bussieres, who will be succseded at Dresden by M. de Eyragues. M. de Langsdorff is to remain at Carlsruhc, and his office of Minister at Rio Janeiro is to devolve on M. de la Rosiere, First Secretary of the Legation at Rome. This last vest is intended for the young Prince of Broglie, viho is to be replaced in Madrid by Baron de Talleyrand, an attaché in London. There are also to be promoi ions among the secretaries and attaches when M. de Fontenay, the Minister at Stutgard, and M. Alleye de Ciprey, the Envoy at Mexico, will retire from public life. Three can didates are on the list for those two situations—Baron Gros, former Chargé d'Affaires at Bogota ; and Mews. de Laval, tte and-Adolphe Barrot• M. de Ssrtiges, Secretary of the Lega tion in Greece, is to be provided with a mission, and replaced by M. Thouvenel, brother-in-law of M. Cuvidier Fleury. M. de Bacourt, it app. ars. ab ndons the diplomatic career, and surrenders his post of Minister of the United States to M. Pageot, who is already named Plenipotentiary. The mission whining to Parliament, and by which speech, so under• stood, he had given umbrage to agriculturists, but in which what he really did say was (so Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT now informs use farmers of Warminster), that it would be distasteful to agriculturists to go whining to Par liament, and that they would not du it. Was it worth the while of a Cabinet Minister to go down to Warmin ster, and make a speech for the purpose of giving this explanation? Better, indeed, that Mr. SIDNEY HER BERT had left his speech unexplained. The advice which he was represented to have given the agriculturists was good advice, and, we should say, so long as agriculturists call for agricultural protection, wanted. But the state ment, that it would he distasteful to the agriculturists to go whining to Parliament for assistance, is, we should say, with all proper respect for Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, so long as agriculturists call for agricultural protection, untrue. And Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT has not even the excuse of having heard nu whining" at the Warminster dinner. Mr. BENETT had spoken before him, and is there no " whining" here?— " This was a serious period for all who were engaged in agri culture. Agriculturists hardly knew what to be about • they scarcely knew wh a t l aws m i g h t stan d, or w h at b e repe a led, in the next or succeeding years. They were told they were to have a repeal of the corn-laws. He, for one, did not believe it; for he did not think it possible that a measure which would create universal distress among all classes would be permitted to be carried into effect. a a a Heretofore the agricul turists had possessed the greater power, hut it was now become a serious contest. They had now Ministers, too, rather lean ing to the new doctrines ; their position was now altered, and the question arose, what course they ought to pursue? • * * Still (said Mr. Benett) if they would let us alone we should be perfectly satisfied; but they will not let us go on in the old Jog-trot way—our labourers in comfort, and our,elves happy and contented.—(Laughter.) I see that there is a leaning towards the trading interest by those who are high in power; while, at the same time, I have heard them make declarations of their continued attachment to the land. But lam not de spairing, and would have none of you to despair." Viry like whining, it not whining in reality, notwith standing the magnanimous disclaimer of despair with which the whining is wound up. But Mr. SIDNEY HER BERT heeded not his colleague's whining, nor thought it necessary to reply to his colleague's gentle rebukes of the Cabinet; of which he is a hopeful member. Mr SIDNEY HERBERT made a speech full of soft compliments to his colleague and his constituents, but of everything to the point singularly empty. The emptiness of the Cabinet Minister's speech is significant. If Mr. SIDNEY HER BERT had been able to say that the Government were resolved to abate no more protection, would he not have said it ? If he could have given a flat contradiction to Mr. SOTRERON, would he not have done it? There was no consolation fin- Mr. BENETT to be got out of Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT'S speech, nor for the SOTRERON af frigiced W.ltshire farmers ; but we may augur from it future advances of the PEEL Government to free trade, and we believe that there is no member of the Cabine t in his heart more liberally disposed than Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT himself, or more ready to laugh outright, but that it would be rude, at his colleague's whining out pouring. to Texas being suppressed, another destination will no doubt be given to Al. Duuois de Saligny, the late Chargé d'Affaires." The Duke and Ruches; DE NEmouns arrived at Bayonne cn the 20th. The Prince and Princess DE JoistviLLP. left Paris for Eu, on Friday, on which day the Prince and Princess of SarEnNo arrived at Eu, having spent the previous day at Rouen. M. TRIERS 19 to set out for Spain on the 26th. The report that the Government of Algiers had sanctioned the duel between Generals BOURJOLLY and BOURGEN has been contra dicted ; the duel had not taken place. It would appear by the following extract of a letter from Algiers, pub lished in the Pr e.cse, that the French have experienced a severe check from the Arabs. The letter is dated Miliaria, 9th Aug.:— " The Arabs have again revolted at Orleansville, four days' march from here, which has caused the Governor to leave some infantry with us in observation. Another expedition is to be undertaken in that direction. In the north the tribes of Beugia have risen against the Agha named by France. The a hole of the garrison of Algiers has been ordered out, and in four days 25.000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry were brought together. We have been cruelly ill-treated. The first battalion cif Zouaves have been massacred. The Ist regiment of African Chasseurs and a squadron of Spahis have been drowned. On the same day two field officers and eleven others expired. As to the number of soldiers, we have not yet ascertained it exactly, but, according to the reports in circulation, we have lost in killed and wounded, drowned, or overcome by heat, 2,700 men. At present we are at 108 degrees of Fahrenheit at one o'clock in the day." The Presse of Friday has an article on the recent ukase imposing additional duties on foreign vessels en tering Russian parts, which it considers as a measure of reprisal directed against France, the Custom-law of last session imposing an additional duty on tallow and lin seed. The Commerce combats this opinion, and contends that Russia has more to lose than gain by entering into a war of tariffs with France. That as a heavier duty has been imposed on sesame, which is not a Russian pro duction, that on linseed Russia has no right to complain. This additional duty on tallow and seeds was imposed cs a protection to the French agriculturists who cultivate colza and other oil-producing seeds. The following, ac• cording to the Prcsse, are the penalties which France will have to pay for the protection of the growers of colza :- 4. By this means our navigation as well as our produce are exclude d. The French merchant-navy will lose about 20,000 tons, which comprised at teat 100 vessels. The silk trade will also suffer, since its exports to Russia amounted to between 3,000,000 f. and 4,000,0c0f. The agriculture of the South will likewise be aggrieved, for its wines figure in the returns of French imports into Russia, by the Baltic, for about two mil lions. The measure, decreed at St. Prtersburgh, appears at first to be general, and to apply to all countries. But it is to be remarked that the fifth article excepts the vessels and pro• ducts of the most favoured nations, as well as those which have concluded special treaties with Rersia. England is placed in the last category. She will not, aecordingly, be comprised in the proscription, and if that proscription lasts, our neighbours will not fail to supplant us in the Russian markets." But, after all, the colza growers will not derive any advantage from this protection. The crop of colza has failed to such an extent that the merchants will be obliged to import linseed from Russia, even at the pre sent heavy duty, and the only consequence of this pro tection will be that the consumers of oil will have to pay three times what they ought for the oil which they con sume, while no single industrial interest of France, trading, commercial, manufacturing, agricultural, or colza-growing, will derive one tittle of advantage. There never was a more pregnant instance of the suicidal cha racter of the policy of protection than this history of the protected colza•growers cf France. It is a perfect epi tome of the whole question as between the free traders and the protectionists. For Railway Shares the market is very firm again, and there is a fair business doing.

PEPIN LEIIALLEUR, president of one of the northern railroad companies, was summoned on Friday before the Tribunal of Commerce by several share holders, opposed to the projected fusion between that company and that presided over by Baron DE Roms- CHILD. The tribunal decided that the cause should be called on or. Monday (to-day). There appeared in the journals of Saturday a letter from M. PEPIN LERALLEUR, stating that, "in conse quence of the law proceedings rashly commenced against the Directors of the Company for the Northern Railroad, bearing his name, they find themselves under the neces sity of postponing the notice which they proposed giving to their shareholders, to inform them of the period at which they could offer them either the participation to which they were entitled, according to the arrangements entered into for their interest, or the integral repayment of the amount of their subscription." The Journal des Debats contains a notice, inserted at the request of the united companies of Messrs. DECAIN and LEBEUF, informing the public that they were in possession of the capital necessary for the construction of the Northern Railroad, and the line from Fanapoux to Hazebrouck ; that all the formalities required by the law had been fulfilled ; that all the documents demanded by the competent Ministries were prepared, and that the company was now in a condition to bid for the con • cession of the two lines.

The Journal des Debuts ofyesterday publishes the following intelligence from Madrid of the 19th inst., received on Satur day by the French Governpent : " The Minister of Finance having refused to accede to the wishes of the merchants of Madrid, who had demanded some modification in the new tributary system, a great agitation ensued ; numerous groups assembled in the streets and public squares; all the shops were immediately closed, and the authorities were obliged to call out the troops of the garrison. Several charges of cavalry and a discharge of musketry had been necessary to disperse the crowd. Two persons were said to have been killed, and two aficers and a sergeant had been dangerously wounded. " When the courier left Madrid the entire garrison was under arms, and all the military posts had been doubled. Consider able reinforcements had arrived from Guadalajara and Cuenca and the Captain-General bad been vested with extraordinary powers by the Ministers present in Madrid. He was even authorised to declare that capital in a state of siege, should circumstances require it. The city was tranquil, although still slightly agitated. The political Chief had published a most energetic proclamation, and ordered the shops to he re opened under the severest penalties. Several shopkeepers who disobeyed the order had been arrested."

ACCIDENT TO A N I NSPECTOR OF POLICE.—On Thursday ni g h t, an accident occurred to Mr. Turner, the inspector of th e Richmond section of the D division of police, which will p ro b a b ly close his career as a public officer. By some oversight, only one girth had been attached to the saddl e of his horse, an d after he had proceeded two or three miles of his rounds, a policeman noticed that that was giving way. The inspector desired the constable to remove it, and the latter not noticing the ab sence of the other girth, did as he was desired. Mr. Turner then started off, and after traversing nearly the whole of the district, was returning homewards along the Mortlake-road, where, meeting Sergeant Finlayson, he was turning round to speak with him, when the saddle rolled round, and the inspector, who . is a very heavy man, fell with great force to the ground. On assistance being rendered, it was dis covered that he had broken his collar-bone, and fractured three of his ribs, besides receiving other injuries. Hewes con veyed home, but his recovery is considered doubtful. Inspector Turner is upwards of 60 years of age, and has been attached to the force from its commencement.

IMPORTATION or DUTCH CATTLE, &C.—lt iS now well known that the importation of cattle and provisions from Holland and other places on the Continent takes place weekly and almost daily by the numerous vessels trading fr m and to London to a very great extent. The cattle brought over, and particularly from Holland, is of a very tolerable, if not superlative description, and arriving here generally in good condition, in consequence of the quick tran sit afforded by the advantage of steam, have no doubt been found fully to answer the most sanguine expectations of the importers. The boisterous and squally weather however, which tas prevailed during the greater part of the last week has caused a mishap, which will, doubtless, prove a serious loss to the speculators. 'The Dutch steam-ship Batavier was due at the St. Katharine's-wharf, from Rotterdam, on Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, but she (lid not make her appearance until the following day about the same hour, having been delayed by the tempestuous and stormy weather at sea on the night of Tuesday 24 hours after her proper and appointed time of arrival She had 79 oxen and cows on hoard, and 75 sheep, and the scene which the decks and hold of the vessel presented on her arrival baffles description. They were all shipped sound and in good condition, but the storm at sea on 'Tuesday night was se desperate, and the vessel was so much toser.i about by the wind and waves, that no less than 27 of the cattle died from the suffering caused by the rough weather, and on its arrival it was found necessary to get them landed as quickly as possible, and sent to the knaeker's forth with, the stench in the• hold and on deck being almost un bearable, and they were pronounced by the veterinary surgeon appointed by the Crown to examine them previously to delivery to be totally unfit for human food. It will be some satisfaction to the public to know that, by a salutary regulation of the revenue department, an officer is deputed to accompany the .animals so pronounced to be unfit for human food to the premises of the knacker, he being pre sent to witness the flesh being boiled, and thereby ren dered unfit and not likely to be brought into human consump tion, which regulation was duly observed in this extraor dinary instance. It was found absolutely necessary to slay 11 or 12 more of the cattle on board. The remainder, although in a very weak state, were in a considerably better condition, and were with some difficulty got ashore and removed to their destination. Once or twice instances have occurred of one or more beasts dying or requiring to be slaughtered immediately under similar circumstances; but such a wholesale destruction of cattle is unprecedented, and will, doubtless, be a serious thing for the importers. The decks presented the appear ante of an extensive slaughterhouse, dead and sick lying in all directions, and contorted into every imagin able form, and altogether presenting a most extraordinary, novel, and deplorable scene. There were twenty-one passen gers on board, and the inconvenienca and wretchedness they experienced were very great. They describe the passage as a moss terrific one, and such as none but a well proved sea boat, with such a cargo, could have stood against. The Batavier also brought 203 packages of peas, 82 packages of plums, 371 of melons, 7 of yeast, a quantity of poultry, and other articles of Dutch produce and manufacture. NEW ZEALAND.—[fActract from a private letter.] —" A ucteasen, MARCH 22, 1845.-1 have just had additional news from the Bay of Islands, which is worth communicating, as the snail is now closed, and the vessel sails for Sydney at daybreak. The Chief Nene (or Thomas Walker), Ripa, and many others, have already marched over from Hokianga (two days joarney) to the Bay of Islands, with 800 men, cut down a flag, staff Heki had erected, and are going to set to work with cudgels for us. Napua (or Noble) joins them in a few days with 1,2 , is or 2,000 more, and Heki will be shot or taken pri soner. All this is done not only without application from the Governor, but even after having, in reply to various offers of service, been told to remain quiet, as the Governor would settle hi. own quarrel with Heki. This is most gratifying, as proving the dependence to be placed on the good feeling of the natives, of which no stronger proof can be given." Moithen —A shocking murder was committed on Saturday night last at Bromley, near Standon, Hertfordshire. The victim was the wife of an agricultural labourer, and the perpetrator of the violence which occasioned her death was her own husband. Levi Warman, the husband, is 45 years of age, and Elizabeth, his wife, was some years older. They had been married fur many years, had brought up a family, of which there ate now living two sons and two daughters, the youngest of whom is about 20 years of age; the eldest is an idiot. The domestic hearth of Warman was disturbed by frequent quarrels, and his wife was a constant sufferer from the violence of his temper; he had frequently threatened her life, and fear ir g he would carry his threats into execution, she was in the habit of hiding herself when he was in an ill-humour. On Saturday night last Warman'a temper was unusually ruffed. The unfortunate deceased, in consequence, concealed herself in the garden, but Warman went out, and discovering her re treat beat her in such a manner about the head, that she was shortly afterwards found . by her daughter lying on the ground quite dead. An inquest has been h e ld on t h e b ody, and a ver dict of " Wilful murder" returned against Levi Warman, who was forthwith committed, to the county gaol to await his trial. He is a powerful man, standing six feet high. On Wednes day the body of the deceased was interred in Standon church yard, • d the whole of her children following h er rema i ns to the grave.—Eertford Mercury. FATAL RAILWAY Accunwr..---On Saturday morn ing a man named Hill expired in Guy's Hospital, in conse tpiente of the severe injuries he sustained about a fortnight since by falling from the top of a viaduct on the line of the Dov, r Railway whilst engaged as a labourer. A SHORT HONEYMOON.—On Friday a young woman, named Caroline Glynn, who had been married only the previous day at Winchester, was brought before the Mayor and Si bench of magistrates, and committed for trial at the next quarter sessions, on a charge of stealing some silver spoons from the house of Mr. F. Barnes, a solicitor. After the mar riage ceremony she called upon a female in that gentleman's service, and committed the offence, for which she was imme diately apprehended. The husband was rendered almost frantic by the occurrence, QUAKER'S REPROOF.—gomo time since It sailor on one of our wharfs was swearing most boisterously, when one of the Society of Friend; passing along accosted him very pleasantly, and said, " Swear away, friend, swear away, till thee get all that bad stuff out of thee, for thee can never go to heaven with that bad stuff in thy heart."

PUGILISTIC CONTEST.—On Sunday morning, be tween six and seven o'clock, a pugilistic contest took place in a field at the back of Primrose-hill, between two young men, journeyman carpenters, of the names of Saunderson and Bris tow. On Saturday night they quarrelled at a public-house in Portland -town, and agreed to settle the dispute by a pugilistic contest yesterday morning. They were attended by their re spective seconds, and after fighting for about a quarter of an hour, Bristow was thrown heavily with his right leg under him. On being raised up it was found that the bones were protruding through the stockings and trousers. He was re = moved to the hospital. CHURCII-RATE CONTEST.—(From a Correspondent) Wakefield has been much alive with a church -rate contest during the last six days ; the town has been in a state of excite ment not to be exceeded by that which prevails on the occasion of a Parliamentary election. The contest commenced on Mon day last, the 18th inst. The polling of the rate-payers com menced at ten o'clock, and has been continued each day since. The majority in favour of the anti-rate party up to Saturday night was 111. Every means, fair and f ou l, h ave b een used by the Church party to coer ce the opponents of the rate into com pliance, and hence the contest is being carried on with a degree of warmth almost unparalleled. The pro rate party have been driven to the most desperate efforts to gain their object. Wakefh Id is the head• quarters of a division of the Sappers and miners for the Ordnance survey ; and the privates of the corps, who occupy small tenements in the town, have been brought up to pill for a church -rate. 'Captain Tucker, the commandant of the division, has polled four votes in favour of the rate for a large tenement which is rented and the rates paii by Government for the Ordnance survey. It has always been understood that the military of this country were to avoid all elections and contests of this sort t it appears, however, that in Wakefield this rule is to be of non-effect. What may be the position of the parties at the close of the poll it is impossible to say. We hope that the inhabitants will not permit this town to be dis graced by .the triumph of a party who are obliged to call upon the military of the kingdom for the support of their cause. • 2 - 90 ;"3 HER MAJLSTN"s V VISIT TO GERMANY.

With the exception of a solitary bet of 1,500 to 30 against the Peri colt for the Derby, the business transacted yesterday afternoon was exclusively on the St. Legrr, two or three at tempts to commence proceedings on the Great Yorkshire Handicap, at Doncaster, having wholly failed. Weatherbit— he might, with great propriety, be re-christened " Weather cock"—was again in favour. The outlay, it is true, was small, but the feeling wa3 "undeniable," and he very nearly regained the premiership. Miss Sarah, however, was backed, on the whole, for a good .stake, and throughout the afternoon had an unequivocal. call. The betting touched every horse in the market save Old England, and showed a marked disposition in favour of The Baron and Dun au Durras. .111entor, the Merry Monarch, and Red Robin, were backed for two or three hun dred pounds each, but were not really in force.

Sift,—The past meeting at Yot k has done great credit to the inhabitants, and to every one engaged in the management of it. The Great Ebor Handicap, after the withdrawal of Lightning, The Shadow, and Vol au- Vent, was left entirely to the Infant and Coheiress, the latter winning cleverly. I saw nothing likely to heat Coheiress but the Infant, who ran very badly. The Great Yorkshire Stakes went to Miss Sarah -in a ' canter. I did not expect to see her nearer than third, as, to my eye, she did not seem to he exactly in trim ; her running for the Oaks over such a trying course and finishing mil, elevated her in my opinion ; if my readers remember, I advised them to keep an eye upon this animal after its running at Epso a, which advice I can not do better than urge them to adopt, for it is very evident that the Doncaster St. Leger will not be won by Weatherbit, Ledger, or the Merry Monarch, who are as good as boiled. Annandal, Pam, John Davis, the Lancashire Witch, Winchilsea, The Hermit, Plaudit, Cceur de Lion, Old England, and Little John, Ere nearly is as bad a plight, as far as regards their chance of winning the great northern event. The only animals that are likely to cut a figure to some purpose are, Pantasa, Mentor, Midlothian, The Baron, Worthless, Miss Sarah, and Red liohin, dark blue and red cap, or yellow fur the winning colour. Some sport, in a small way, will be found at Egham on Tuesday and Wednesday, which, of its kind, vvill be first rate, On Tuesday the Gold Cup will go to Lord G.

GREAT OARS WAGER —'l he oars wager between Robert Newel and William Robins, of Horselydown, and William Pocock, of L am b et h, an d J o h n Ph e l ps, of Pulliam, came off last Saturday, the distance being from Westminster to Putney, and the stake 201. a side. The celebrity of the whole of the men engaged had induced the public to expect a first-rate exhibition; but they were, unfortunately, owing to accidents that befel the men, doomed to disappointment. At about a quarter past five o'clock they aprared at the starting-place, Newel, who had won the choice of station, going to the third arch from the steam-boat pier, and Pocock taking the next inner arch, the former with the colour forward, and the latter with the colour aft, which, however, was les sened in Pocock's boat by its being particularly low, ir.deed almost level with the water. Both pairs went away at a rattling pace, but before two dozen strokes had been taken, the veteran Phelps pulled the blade cff his oar ; another was immediately handed into his boat from a skiff, but as it was useless for wagering, another was furnished him from his cutter. In consequence of this delay Newel and his partner had gone upwards of 250 Ards ahead, but owing to the canvass stretched fore and aft on their boat not tieing properly glazed, she shipped water at every stroke, and they became so " logged" that they were obliged to abandon her just above Cubist's and get into their cutter, at about the time that Pocock and his partner had rowed up to them. Pocock and Phelps rowed the distance, and of course won the match.
