" have the satisfaction of reporting to you, for the guidance of the Board, that the progress made in the Parliamentary surveys for the Midland Union Railway is such, that I am now able to assure you that the whole of the necessary plans and sections will be com pleted in good time for lodgment on the 29th of November.

The Committee have also the pleasure of informing the applicants for shares in this Company that the allotment is now completed, and that the letters will be issued with the least possible delay. The immense number of applicants, and their highly respectable cha racter, have made the duty of selection both arduous aad delicate; and, therefore, gentlemen who do not receive letters of allotment will be pleased to consider this as a sufficient apology for the omission.

The length of the line from Bury to Stratford, as finally set out by the acting engineer, under the direction of the engineer in chief, Sir John Rennie, is fifty-eight miles, making a total of sixty-two miles to the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway; being seventeen miles less than the projected line by Chesterford, and twenty-four miles less than that by Cambridge ; and making the distance from Norwich to London one hundred and four miles, in stead of one hundred and twenty-five miles by Ely. B IDEFORD and TAVISTOCK RAILWAY COMPANY. The Committee of Management have the greatest satisfaction in informing their Shareholders that they have received their engineer's report, by which they are enabled to state with perfect confidence that all plans and surveys are in that state of perfection that no doubt can he entertained on this point of their being able to comply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament, and they fur ther sincerely congratulate them that In all other requisite matters they are equally prepared to make all necessary deposits.

That the public may not be misled by the various statements that have appeared in the public papers, and in the pro spectus of the Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New port on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried, declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc tion of ralways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen was, at the same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the railway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee to state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition to the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for. C. W. ESTCOURT, Hon. Secretary to the Committee. P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the Direct Ryde and Ventnor Railway, I am instructed by the Com mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided opposition as the former projects. REGISTERED PROVISIONALLY. I. HUDDERSFIELD and EAST and WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY. The Provisional Directors have the satisfaction of informing the shareholders that, in addition to the beneficial arrangement effected with the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company, already announced, they have also brought to a satisfactory conclu sion the pending negotiation with the Committee of Management of the Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway Company, whereby the support and co-operation of that Company is secured to this line. By such recent arrangement, the proposed lines of this undertaking, and of the Hull and Barnsleyßailway, are to form a junction together, at or near the Midland Railway; by means whereof, and of the several existing and other projected railways, when completed, it is considered the original design of this undertaking, namely, that of connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, with a communication to the metropolis, from or near the Cudworth Station of the Midland Railway, by one continuous and a more direct and shorter line of railway communi cation than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now before the public, will be accomplished, and that, too, at a saving, in outlay, of more than one-third of the original proposed capitel of the Company. Besides the advantages before offered to the public by this under taking, the recently declared intention of the Huddersfield and Man chester Railway and Canal Company, to extend their line to Brad ford, when carried into effect, enables this Company, by a short branch of one mile (or thereabouts) in length, to connect together, by railway communication, the two important manufacturing towns of Barnsley and Bradford. The Allotment of Shares having taken place, the Directors feel it due to state the following reasons in explanation of the disappoint ment which doubtless will be experienced by many of the numerous and highly respectable individuals whose applications have been un avoidably either greatly reduced, or not complied with, and of the arduous and delicate duty which the Directors have had to perform. Ist. By the recent arrangement with the Hull and Barnsley Junc tion Railway Company, the capital of this Company has been re duced, from One Million sterling, in 50,000 Shares, to 650,00Q1. in ,st , (Shares. By the arrangement with the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company, one-third of such reduced capital had to be divided, rateably, amongst the Shareholders in that Company. 3d. After awarding an unusually limited number of Shares to each member of the Provisional Committee, and of the Provisional Directors, and making the necessary reserve for landholders and others locally interested, there remained less than 8,000 Shares for distribution by the Directors, whilst the number of Shares applied for considerablyexceeded 300,000. Under the above circumstances and difficulties, the Directors, in distributing the small number of Shares at their disposal, have felt it their duty to give a preference to parties whom they believed most likely to contribute to the traffic of the line. The Directors have the pleasure of announcing that great progress is made in the surveys, &c., and they entertain no doubt that the same, and all other necessary matters, will be completed in bullicient time for the ensuing session of Parliament. By order, JAMES SYKES DOBSON, Secretary, pro tem Huddersfield, October 27, 1845. VALUABLE FORFEITED PROPERTY, MESSRS.

OPPOSITION to CHURCH-RATES. On Thursday a most numerous meeting of the inhabitant rate-payers of the district parish of St. John, Notting-hill, one of the newly-erected churches in the parish of Kensing ton, was held pursuant to public notice, in the Vestry-room of St. John's Church, for the purpose of making a church rate fir warming and lighting the church, for payment of the organist, beadles, and pew-openers' salaries, and for such other expenses as are necessary for carrying on and ma;- ,i. and bea taining dle to the said church. divine service therein.

ROY, of the firm of Roy, Blunt, and Company, soli. citors, who is the incumbent's churchwarden, opened the business of the meeting by moving " That a rate of twopence in the pound be made forthwith towards the repairs of the church of the said parish, the expenses incidental to the maintaining divine service therein, and for and towards the defraying and indemnifying the churchwardens of the said parish, and for all other necessary costs and expenses, they may be at or put unto touching and concerning the said office of churchwardens." Mr. GARRARD seconded the motion. Certain HOOD, R.N., then came forward, amidst loud cheering, and proposed the following amendment :—" A rate for .the district parish of St. John's, Notting-hill, being con trary to the interest of the parishioners, and inexpedient, it is hereby resolved, that the rate proposed be not agreed to, as the church was built, in part, by subscriptions raised on the express conditions that it should be supported by its pew rents, awl the signatures of only 110 persons, who caused it to be made a district parish, for ecclesiastical purposes only, can in no way relieve the trustees and Building Committee from the pledges on which the money was raised to build the church, except for its necessary repairs, when absolutely required." The CHAIRMAN proceeded to put the amendment to the vote. A forest of hands was held up for it, and but a small minority for the original motion, upon which the Rev. Gen tleman said he must acknowledge that the majority were in favour of the amendment, a declaration which was received with tremendous cheering. Mr. ROY then demanded a poll, which was subsequently proceeded with, and at its close in the evening the numbers were—.for the rate, 55 ; against it, 45 ; the poll will finally cease at five o'clock this evening. The voting is taken under Sturges Bourne's Act, which admits plurality of votes. SUICIDE OF A GIRL IN HYDE PARK.-Thursday forenoon, about nine o'clock, one of the men belonging to the Royal Humane Society noticed a girl, apparently about 13 or 14 years of age, Fitting on one of the seats on the south shore of the Serpentine River, opposite the Society's receiving- house, without a bonnet. He crossed the water, and asked the girl what she did there, when the answered that she was looking for her bonnet. The man told her she had better go home than sit there without a bonnet, not suspect ing that so young a creature could meditate suicide. She then jumped off the seat, and ran away as if in fear. About an hour afterwards she was seen to come over the bridge dividing Ken sington-gardens from Hyde Park, and walk along the north shore of the Serpentine for about one hundred and fifty yards, and then throw herself into the water. The man who saw her, instead of immediately hastening to the receiving -house and giving information, merely told the gate-keeper of Kensington-gardens of the circurnstane and left without pointing out the exact spot. The gate-keeper immediately sent to the receiving -house, when the dregs were used, but, owing to the spot not being knoWn, the body was not found until full twenty minutes had elapsed. It was immediately conveyed to the receiving house, and the u--ual means for restoring animation were for sometime per- everingly tried, but without avail. The deceased, who :had brown hair and hazel eyes, was dressed in a lilac and white che quered dress with small black spots, unbleached calico shift, white petticoat with fancy work at the bottom, flannel petticoat, dark stays, white stockings, and black leather boots. The body now l:es at Mount-street workhouse. Ma. MR.

It is not by such courses • that her clergymen will accredit their own mission to the laity at large as the meek and lowly-minded and pious ministers of a religion of beneficence, purity, and peace. On the present occasion, fortunately, we are not called on to de nounce any startling or revolting crime against the laws of GOD and of human institutions. But we have to animadvert on a manifestation, in a beneficed clergyman of the Church of England, of uncharitable, irritable spitefulness—such as we cannot peruse without mingled emotions of astonishment and contempt. On the 28th instant, at the Central Cri minal Court, a poor servant-girl, named ANN CRAFT (to whose good character and moral deportment very respectable testimony at the close of the trial was produced), was tried on a charge of having robbed her master, the Reverend FREDERICK JOHN REEVE, incumbent of Mortlake, Surrey, of sundry valuable articles—according to his own account— sheets, towels, bit; of carpets, &c. The case, as stated by the Reverend Prosecutor, was of the most trumpery descrip tion that can be imagined. " The family," preceded by the prisoner, who had been dispatched the day before to Brighton, to get their house at that place ready, left town in August last. The prisoner's luggage was packed in two boxes, the larger one being removed with her, the smaller being con fided to the care of a neighbour. " The family" had in structed "the servants," a few days previously, to move in light marching order ; that is, they were " to take only such things of their own as were absolutely necessary." At Brighton, the Reverend Mrs. REEVES (for, like JERROLD'S Mrs. Caudle, this lady appears to be the Major Domo), taxed the girl CRAFT, in consequence of some information, in such severe terms, that the girl quitted her service, and went to reside for some days at a neighbouring inn. The Reverend Gentleman (whose spiritual activity in discharging the duties of his incumbency we would fain hope is as untiring as his zealous I energy in the character of a travelling prosecutor), came up to Mortlake—went to the custos of the poor girl's smaller box (a Mrs. NERVE), asked for it, got possession of it, and, with a more than Apostolic insensibility to his own fatigue, returned with it to Brighton. There he called on CRAFT at the inn ; and having caused this Pandora-like casket—this fatal box—to be broken open in her, presence before he paid her her wages—(for the merciful pastor and his lady had considerately allowed the young woman to go to the inn, after quitting their roof, without giving her what was her due)—the reverend runner found two books, his pro perty—the one a school-book, the other an odd volume of the " Heiress of Bruges," and " other articles not mentioned in the indictment." Among these other articles were a pair of silk socks, of which the Reverend prosecutor, intending to exhibit with effect to the horror of the jury, the judge, and the Court, involuntarily demon strated the holiness and antiquity, by putting his fingers through, instead of into, the heel The whole of the pro perty purloined from " the family " does not appear to have been of sufficient value to find a ready purchaser in Holy well-street or Rag-fair; and its exposition, illustrated by Mr. CLARKSON'S cross-examination of this benevolent clergy man, demonstrated what our reporter mildly terms the " ridiculous" exaggeration of the value the prosecutor had put upon them, at the very moment he was taking credit to himself (good man!) for his reluctance to do the work he had begun, and the low figure of his appraisement. All the authority of the respected Recorder could not suppress, we are told, the laughter and ridicule elicited by this exposure of the property—and of the prosecutor.: Now, we do not feel it necessary to press on the reader's attention the extreme probability that the fact of the articles being in the young woman's box at all may be fairly at tributable to the haste and confusion, under the "marching orders " we speak of, of a hasty removal, without any sort of dishonest intention on her part—" the family " being by no means remarkable, we infer, for the Christian virtues of pa tience or gentleness. The things might have been thus put away, with a good-natured purpose of easing the mistress of "the family" of some part of her removal cares: for non constat that there was any concealment, on the girl's part, of the place and particulars of the box's deposit. But not having her defence before us, we cannot argue on any par ticular presumption of this kind. We limit ourselves, there fore, to contending for the general hypothesis of her inno cence as deducible from all the facts. The Reverend Gentle man's some three or four servants had been discharged in the course of twelve months ; but the reverend lady, with a degree of candour which mistresses of the Caudle school ex hibit only in the witness-box, we apprehend, admitted— under cross-examination—that not three or four only, but at least twelve, servants had been dismissed by " the family " in twelve months. What a pattern of HORACE'S a domus et placens uxor" is here ! How delicious an example for the whole living of Mortlake of the Christian spirit and the amiable community of feeling that should pervade the homes of all the Reverend prosecutor's parishioners. One servant hired and dischargod per mensem—twelve per annum—seems to be the rule of this gentle pastor's household. TAYLOR, another female servant, who proved that she had carried the little box to NERVE'S house by the prisoner's desire, ad mitted, again—on cross -examination—that "in the nine months in which she was engaged by the family,' no less than nine servants had been discharged." The Recorder, passing, perhaps, the most lenient sentence he could do on the verdict of guilty, remitted the prisoner, not to another gaol, but simply to fourteen days' longer confinement in Newgate. Whilst that able and humane judge was passing sentence, the Reverend Gentleman, in obedience to some " dumb show telegraphing" from his lady, with great good taste and exquisite humanity rushed to the witness-box, just as the Recorder was putting some circumstances of extenuation to the jury. But though the Reverend Mr. REEVE emulated the submissive Mr. Caudle in the alacrity of his obedience, he was emphatically repulsed, and compelled to retire, with no other or higher satisfaction to his paternal and pastoral humanity than what might be derived from contemplating the convulsive sobs, the struggles, the swoonings of the un happy woman whom he had placed in the felon's dock on this trumpery and disgraceful indictment; or the knowledge that to the public blasting of her hitherto unspotted charac ter, and her humble but virtuous prospects, a sentence of fourteen days' imprisonment in Newgate had affixed the seal of extinction! Poor, unhappy girl! Most amiable, most Christian-like of pastors! Let this world judge be tween you. In the next—but we forbear. Madrid journals of the 24th have been received, but they contain no intelligence of interest, though abundance of rumours. The Espanol says it is the opinion of many well informed persons that the Cortes will not be assembled this year, but gives little credit to the report. The brother of Mmkroz had received another appointment, that of Intendant of the Queen's palace. He previously held the office of Administrator of Property to the Queen's sister. Some private business was done in Spanish Stock on the 23d, when the Three per Cents. were done at 34 for the Account, and 33% for Cash. We are glad to learn from Paris that a considerable im provement had taken place both in French Stock and Shares. The Three per Cents. bad risen 30c. and the Fives 15c. The fluctuation in the Share Market was inconsiderable ; wherever a change occurred it was for the better, and the fear of further depression seems to have disappeared. " The fifth anniversary of the Blinistry of October 29," says the Can stitutionnel, " was celebrated on Wednesday, at St. Cloud, by a grand dinner, to which the KING had invited all the mem bers of the Cabinet. Each year this anniversary is marked by a new advancement in the Legion of Honour, accorded to the Ministers who have not yet arrived at the highest grade. As there was nothing more to do in this respect fur Marshal SOULT, the promotion was granted to his son, the Marquis DE DALMATIE." The skill, firmness, and success of M. GUIZOT leaves the organ of M. Dem% no opportunity for finding fault. He has been more fortunate than any previous Minister, not only in keeping his Cabinet to gether so long as five years, but in preserving the peace of Europe, and at the same time increasing the number of his supporters in the Chamber of Representatives. Nearly all the late elections went in favour of the Government, and France rarely has been so quiet as at the present time. Algiers, it is true, is an unfortunate affair, but that was a legacy from the old Bourbons, which:the new dynasty can not with honour throw up. According to one of the journals the National, the latest accounts from that quarter are any thing but favourable. " The Government," it says, " has received from Africa a fresh dispatch which it has not judged proper to publish. This dispatch announces that, after the affair of Ain Kebira, ABD-EL-KADEB, in place of withdraw ing with his cavalry to the Moorish territory, proceeded to the middle of our possessions, and reached Sidi bel Abbes, between Mascara and Tlemcen. There he has continued propagating insurrection among the tribes, and it appears that he has succeeded to such a point that nearly all the natives of the west of Algeria are in revolt, attacking our posi tions considered most safe from their insults, or withdrawing en masse either to the territory of Morocco, or to what is called the desert." According to a letter from Toulon, in the Courrier Francais, General LAMORCIERE had made a successful razzia on the two tribes implicated in the surprise of Djemm Ghazaouat and destroyed a part of the army of ABD-EL-KADER, and cut off the heads of a thousand Arabs. The story, how -1 ever, is utterly improbable, and none of the journals give credit to it. The Sentinelle says, "If the reports which have reached us are correct, the insurrection of the Arabs has greatly extended in the province of Oran. General Lamm- MERE is said to have arrived in time to raise the blockade of Tlemcen, which was hard pressed by the enemy. It is added that he routed and overthrew several Arab corps." A tele graphic dispatch from Port Vendres, dated Oct. 28, had been received by the French Government from General Count DE CASTELLANE, Commandant of the 21st military division, an nouncing that all the troops who were to be embarked at Port Vendres for Oran had left. The number embarked at Port Vendres, Marseilles, and Toulon is 9,290, and 987 horses. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " The currency of corn," according to the Journal dcs Debuts, " during the last nine months was much less than during the corresponding period of the years 1844 and 1843, which demon strated the confidence of the public in the agricultural resources of France, the only country in Europe at present which is not uneasy respecting tier means of feeding her population. The quantity of corn in store in France at present is considerably more than that existing last year (256,000 metrical quintals, in place of 98,000)." A recent account has been taken at the Corn-market of Paris, at the public granaries, and at the stores of the 601 bakers of the capital, of all the flour in hand. It appears that they contain together a sufficient provision for four months. The Mcn!(teur publishes the Official returns of the French ins. ports for the present-year. up to the end of September. The duties received exceed those of the corresponding period of the last year, which were much higher than those of 1843. The month of September, however, taken by itself, is less favourable, the duties having amounted to only 12 millions of francs, whereas, in September, 1844, they were 12 millions and a half. , " We have already stated," says the Constihaionnel, " that the Minister ofForeignAffairs had just sent offto Tangiers M. Hamont, one of the gentlemen belonging to his department. This envoy is charged to hand to our Consul-General a note addressed to the Emperor of Morocco. The French Government in this note In forms Abderrhaman that it has come to the determination t• pursue Abd-el-Kader on the Moorish territory. Th• terms of the treaty concluded with France are called to his mind, and the late events are adduced as a proof that it has not been executed. the in ference is, that the Emperor had failed in his engagements through want of ability to fulfil them, and France, in consequence, is au. thorised to do herself justice." A letter from Florence of the 22d says:—" The emigrations from Romagna continue. They are already very numerous, and will still increase, for the prosecutions of thecourt-martial installed at Rimini are incessant. )t has sequestrated the property of the emigrants. Amongst estates thus taken is that of Count Beltrami, one of the richest inhabitants of Bagnacavallo. The five chiefs of the last insurrection are still imprisoned here, but they are treated with kindness. They *replaced together in an apartment of fort Belvidere."

Wfl*flJ!. 1141 LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1845. The opening of the new hall and buildings of the Honour able Society of Lincoln's Inn was a ceremony which, whether considered in relation to the objects of their consecration, or the distinguished honour of her MaaEsPre's personal attend ance at the ceremony, was well worthy of being minutely recorded to posterity. The munificence of the Society had amply seconded the genius of the architect, and nothing was wanting of the wealth and liberality proper to so distinguished an association that could develop in their full symmetry and effect the very beautifial and appropriate designs of Mr. HattniVicx. The fabric altogether has an appearance of having been pro duced by one of the best architects of the best age of the Tudor school. These are facts that are apparent, and have been for some time past, to every casual passenger or visitor. But for any any account in detail of this remarkable cere monialillustrious persons who assisted at it, the public a n d p os terity itself, or of the d e p o rt me n t or o b servations of the vain.th eir T d h o e in ß g e s n an ch d ers ol o e f pa L r i t n ic c u o l l a n r 's s l o n f n t , h an e w x h io o u le s e w n i o l will l g o h o k t o i h n ave transaction accurately recorded, had issued a circular invi tation to all the metropolitan newspapers with that view; and the gentlemen by whom those newspapers were re presented attended as usual, in order to discharge their arduous and important duty. They found, however, not merely that none of the ordinary accommodations indispensable to its performance *were pr o vided f o r th em , but that they sere treated with a studied and contemptuous which 'added insult to neglect. They were raced in a position from whence it was impossible either to see or hear what was passing, and jostled among waiters, serving men, and lawyers' clerks and door-keepers. Of course they very properly re sented this impertinence on the part of the Benchers, or those by whom arrangements, such as they were, had been made, And retired in a body from the hall. To what cause this absurd proceeding should be attributed we cannot undertake to say. Whether, as one of our Con temporaries supposes, it was a further manifestation of that hostility which a few foolish fellows at bar-messes have lately thought proper to manifest against the press in the persons of the reporters; or whether this pro ceeding be simply the result of that ill-breeding and ascetic ignorance of the tone and wants and feeling of that great world actually existing beyond the limits of the four Inns of Court, which are by no means uncommon among the narrow minded and drowsy occupants of prescriptive seats at the dais, and other privileges pertaining to the majesty of Benchers, we do not know, and truly care not a single rush. Some of them, we dare say, are sufficiently credulous to confide in the mysteries of Mesmerism, and perhaps imagine, that in order to accomplish with so much general accuracy their task of daily communications to the public; reporters themselves are magnetized beings, who caa read through the solid bulk of Mr. Haanwicx's masonry what may be passing on the other side of it, and hear speeches delivered at the extremity of intervening corridors and closed chambers beyond them. But it is really proper that the Benchers of Lin coln's Inn should understand that they confer no favour, but ask one, when they issue invitations to the newspapers to send reporters to give an account of proceedings which, however they may interest the Society of Lincoln's Inn, have no more immediate or specific interest for editors and proprietors of newspapers than the circular of the Court newsman or the list of prices at Smithfield Market. i t is the public which demands to be informed on these and all other subjects, and the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn no more enjoy an exemption from the duty of gra tifying this wish ,on the part of the public, than the bar in our times could maintain its own existence without that publicity, for all legal pleadings and judicial decisions which have rendered it what it is, through the direct instru mentality of those very individuals on whom some silly gen tlemen of the long robe, in the contemplation of arriving at bencherships themselves, by affecting these airs of superior caste, would have the world believe that they look down upon as of inferior station. Bisurn teneatis? They might as well imagine that as a body they could compete with the Press in general ability, or information, or usefulness. Between professional exhibitions of contumacy to public opinion, in the matter of Puseyism, and personal exhibition. of mean and degrading vices and unchristian deportment, the clergy of the Established Church, through very many of' their members, appear to be of late sedulously engaged in earning for themselves a singular amount of odium and dis— reputable notoriety. Not a month passes over, in these times, without producing its flagrant exemplification of clerical delinquency in some shape or other. These are evil signs for the Church.

Shares were dull, but better in some respects. The advices received from the United States are uniform in their expression that railways there, as here, are the order of the day. This is too important a topic to let any well. considered opinions go without notice. The New York Herald states : " During the period of the most extensive speculation this country ever experienced, the people of New Englandinvested millions of dollars in railroads, and we are disposed to believe that it was the drain of capital from many of those who be came at that time interested in these works, that prevented the various speculative movements of the day from spreading the ruin and desolation in that section which fell upon every other portion of the land. The large investments in the roads, then in a state of completion, contracted the resources of those interested, and prevented their engaging in the specula tive bubbles of the day, which soon after exploded, leaving hut a wreck behind. The railroad speculation of that period was looked upon as the snail in the fable, the moral of which has, however, been fully exempli fied. The railroad speculation of the present day will, without doubt, be even more beneficial in its effects than the last, as it has become more general, and must operate as a greater check upon any expansion in commercial affairs. The immense cost of the railroads of Great Bri tain has required a much greater expenditure in propor tion to the length of road constructed, than in this country. It will hardly be credited that two roads, leading from the centre of London, in lem.th only three and three quarter miles, cost about 11,000,000 dots. The London and Black wall, 1,289,0801., and the London and Greenwich, 1,026,1001., or over 1,500,000 duls. per mile. These two roads, constructed at this enormous expense, enter a city having a population only about five times larger than that of this city, and pay handsome dividenth, wbile New York has a railroad running the entire length of the island, about nine miles long, and costing for the whole line no more than one mile of the London and Blackwall Railway, that has never yet paid a dividend. The railroads throughout Great Britain cost about three times as much per mile as those of this country, and are kept in running opera tion at nearly three times the expense, notwithstanding which, they pay a better average rate of dividend than those of the United States." A reference to the Bank of England averages for the past week to Oct. 25, makes us acquainted with the fact of a further diminution having occurred in the amount of notes issued to the extent of 363,265/. ; but then the notes in the banking department having been reduced by 1:35,935/., the circulation is only affected by the extent of the difference between these two items. The Rest has increased by 23,492/., and the public deposits have been diminished by 164,757/. The other deposits have been lessened by 905,470/. The seven day and other bills are less by 33,371/., and the other securities show the further marked decrease of 1,118,4141. The Bullion is 189,022/. less, amount ing to 14,001,263/.

This un lettaking was commenced by the Notting. ham and Grantham Canal Companies, who have since formed an amalgamation with the Nottingham and Erewash Valley, Amber Gate and Manchester, the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir and Grantham, and Nottingham and Boston Railway Companies, and will now afford a direct line of railway communication from Liverpool and Manchester in the west, to Boston, Spalding, Lynn, Yarmouth, Norwich, &c., in the east. The amalgamated company are to make the whole of the line from Amber Gate to Boston and Spalding. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The season of this Society will commence at Exeter Hall, on Friday next, Handel's Israel in Egypt being the opening performance. Mr. Phillips will re-appear on this occasion for the first time since his return from America. The Marquis of Donegal, prior to his leaving the Isle of Wight with the Marchioness, for their seat in Ireland, visited almost daily White's yard, to see the progress made in the building of the schooner yacht for the Emperor of Russia, and her Majesty's brig Contest, in the success of which vessels he takes the greatest interest. Mr. Ratsey has two cutter yachts building in his yard, and there is every probability of a considerable increase being made in the Royal Yacht Squadron next year, indeed, We have seldom heard more talk about persons proposing to build than at the present time. THE BANJO QUADRILLES.—These quadrilles are selected from the most popular American airs, and are exceedingly well arranged for the piano -torte. They have been played at the different theatres, and by the military bands, with great success; and we have little doubt but they will be the favourites of the ball room this season.—Saunderes Neiv: Letter. THE GAME- LAWS.—Mr. Collett, M.P. for Athlone, has transmitted to the governor of Wakefield prison 51. 12s. 6d. to effect the release of Thomas Higgins, who has been incarcerated for an offence against the game-laws. FIRE AT BUNHILL-ROW.—On Friday night, be tween five and six o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Messrs. Delarue and Co , card-makers, Bunhill-row. It was fortunately extinguished before more than a alight damage was done to the stock in the drying.room. THE GRESHAM LECTURES.—Next Monday being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the lectures founded by Sir Thomas Gresham will be commenced in the theatre of Grethen% College, in Basinghall.streeti THE PRESS AND THE BAR.—The disagreement be tween the bar and the press has been adopted as well as revived by the benchers of Lincoln's Inn, who have identified themselves with the brief-hungry members of the Oxford and Western Circuits. On the occasion of their new hall being honoured by a visit U ' the Queen, the benchera disgraced themselves by an act at °not puerile and pitiful. If Thursday last was a glorious day for the Society of Lincoln's Inn, it was a shameful one for the existing representatives of that fraternity. The benchers should have known better than to have sullied the .occasion of the opening of their hall; graced as it was by the Prr' sence of royalty, with an act that any well conducted lawyer's clerk would feel heartily ashamed to have beet, guilty of. The public will scarcely believe it possible that the benchers of Lincoln's Inn should have forwarded invitations to the members of the press for the mere purpose ,of insulting the n'' horning Such, however, is th e f act, f or cards were sent to the ".": journals for the admission of their representatives to the cereu2ee' of the opening of the new hall, and on the arrival of the genii" - men to whom the duty of furnishing reports had been intrusted, they were sent among the waiters, into a position from which ant convenient view of the proceedings was utterly impracticab le, The members of the press retired, of course, in a body from th e hall, into which they had been invited by the volunteered coda o f admission from the benchers, who would-appear to have corn" witted the rrean trick of leading the representatives of the journals' into a snare by a show of courtesy which was to end in lire" i ns suit. It is usually cons id ered mean and ungentlemanly to 81 ' offence in one's own house to a stranger who has en tered it as a gu es t ; b ut what is to be said * ;, t these Lincoln's Inn b enc h ers, who condescen d to a trick th they may get gentlemen into their hall for the express purpose insulting them? We cannot avoid contrasting the treatment Ibl ... the benchers of Lincoln's Inn with the honour done to the Me o w_ berg of the literary profession at the late meeting at Manchester. As Mr. Cobden very justly observed o n_ n t .....a occasion, literary men are only beginning to take their 1)0 "" eates t much prouder one than that of the hireling advocate, whose gr merit is often to pervert truth, or, by the exercise of low cun screen dishonesty from merited punishment. The bar will o men nothing by its contest with the press, unless, perhaps, it be .o _n w ' of of the Athense h : the cause of that agitation which may rouse the better por r t . ' n °,..,.. the legal profession to repudiate the conduct which is b t g o 1 ; contempt and disgrace on the entire body.
