The whole line, together with a branch to Grenoble, is to be made by the Company, and to be completed within four years from the date of the Ordinance confirming the adjudication. The constituted Company will have all the rights and powers which the Government itself exercises in the construction of public works. The Government reserves the power of purchasing the lease at the expiration of nineteen years from the ;adjudication, paying for the residue of the term to the Company an annual sum, calculated on the average of the nett proceeds of the five best of the preceding seven years, but not in any event less than the nett proceeds of the last year of the seven. The Company will be constituted a " Societe Anonyme." The adjudication of the Line will probably not be delayed beyond the present year. If the lease be obtained on favourable terms (and no other terms will be sought or accepted by this Company), the Line will be a most valuable one. It forms the only remaining link in the great chain between the German Ocean and the Mediterranean. The local traffic, especially of merchandise, is already very great, and with the said and development to be given by the railway, will be far greater. The Rhone cannot compete with the railway, because, although navi gable one way, its extreme rapidity renders it practically inuavi gable up the stream. It has been considered desirable to associate for the English diree riots persons of acknowledged practical skill and experience in the. construction, working, and management of railways, and it cannot be denied but that this object has been attained. The Directors take all requisite powers for conducting and con cluding negotiations with the French Government, tendering for and accepting a lease, and generally enabling them to carry out what ever they may deem expedient in the interest of the Company. They also expressly reserve to themselves the right to increase or diminish the amount of capital stock and the number of shares, or either, and to adopt such other modifications in those respects as they may consider necessary or advantageous. The amount of each share is to be payable as follows :—Two-thirds on allotment; two other tenths, if required by the French Govern ment, before the lease shall have been obtained; the remainder by tenths, as the Directors may see requisite, but at intervals of not less than thre months between each call, until the whole 201. shall have been paid up. London, Sept. 24, 1845. Applications for shares are to be addressed, not later than the 6th of October next, to the Offices of the Company, No. 11, Old Jewry Chambers, London ; or to Messrs. Beavan and Anderson, 2, Adelphi terrace ; and all applications must be made by filling up and sending the printed form, which is not to be detached from the prospectus, to be had on application at the Offices ; and of Messrs.

Morning .. 43 minutest after 9 Evening .. 22 minutes after 10. because it would have been too great a compliment, forsooth, to the enemy which his presumptuous incapacity affected to despise, to build in imitation of their models? The disastrous issue of so many encounters in which we were worsted by far superior force, the ships of the enemy being equal always to higher rates than those to which they nominally belonged, and far outdoing us in the calibre and weight of their metal and their manning ; this disastrous issue might have taught the present Board of Admiralty, assuredly, the wisdom of our not being left, in the event of a war, to commence opera tions with the most essential arm of our naval force re duced in strength and magnitude far below those of the same arm belonging to our antagonist. We cannot believe that Lord ILuipisru'rox or Sir GEORGE CoCKBURN would willingly countenance any feeling of rivalry so low spirited and paltry as that which we firmly believe to have been mainly instrumental to the war with America of 1812, Yet, why is it—and the fact cannot be too often impressed on our readers—that when the formidable superiority of large steamers has been so signally tested in the enterprises of commerce, and the extension of all intercourse and corre spondence between the remotest points of the globe, by the noble vessels such as the "Great Western" and the " Great Britain," produced by our pri vate builders, the Royal Navy should be altogether deficient of steam-ships capable of competing with those which America has built or Russia possesses? Not a moment should be lost, we venture to insist, in getting afloat at least one such gigantic thunderer, to serve as a nucleus for a fleet of worthy consorts. If the requisite tonnage and arms meat cannot be readily combined, for the present, at least, let the armament be associated with steam power. An example suggests itself to us as an apt one for showing how this sort of compromised power could be made in a moment available. There is, if we mistake not, now lying at Blackwall, in dock, the " Great Northern" steam-ship. She was built, very lately indeed—(within a twelvemonth or ro)— on the most useful and important principle of combining all the sailing power and properties adapted to her enormous length and great capacity, with the motive power of the screw-propeller. When the wind and weather serve she is to be sailed without working the latter, so as to economise her fuel and machinery. These are to be employed, on the other hand, when tempestuous weather and adverse winds render it more expedient to apply steam to the screw. Her trials have manifested her perfect achieve ment of these objects, than which we can imagine none more admirable or valuable. She is built to carry forty 18-pounders. Her great height and her length render her a most formidable floating battery, and her facilities of sailing, steaming, and changing rapidly her position, are probably unsurpassed. Whether, being docked, this noble craft is for sale we have no means of knowing. If she be, might it not be well worth while for the Admiralty to become her purchasers ? If not, can there be any objec tion to use her lines with any required extensions or improve ments in the construction of still superior steam frigates ? Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, we remember, frankly admitted, as well he might do, the great obligations the navy of this country was under to the 'Sunders for the Yacht Club, in re spect of signal improvements introduced in the art of ship building, equipment, &c., in turning out some of these beau tiful pleasure vessels, which are the admiration of foreigners, and are justly the pride of the British public, as well as of their private owners. Why should the Admiralty hesitate to introduce similar or analogous improvements into steam-ship building after the models supplied by the builders of Bristol and Liver pool, Greenock and Londonderry? If we are not mistake; so strong has hitherto been the prejudice against adopting a foreign model, that the old Canopus, captured at Aboukir, ever since she was incorporated into our navy, retained among all candid or qualified judges the same credit her hull has acquired in the recent experimental cruise, of being one of the most perfect specimens that even the French builders had ever produced. But not a single ship ha s ever been laid down on her model, renowned as it is for symmetry and strength. Can the illiberality of the 1812 to' 1814 administration of the Admiralty be still alive at its Board, or in some of its subordinate bureaux? We know not how to bring ourselves to believe it; yet the matters to which we have alluded raise a strong inference that such is the fact. And the miserable parsimony with which the Board has pretended to test the merits of so im portant an invention as Captain TAYLOR'S floating break water (by laying down small sections of fifty or sixty feet long only, moored as slackly as possible off the Hove Coast- Guard station), strongly corroborate this inference. We have received Madrid journals of the 18th inst. The Gazette of that date contains a royal ordonnance, with in structions sanctioned by her MAJESTY for the organisation of the new corporations. The same official journal announces the arrival of Mr. BRUNEL with a party of engineers, to be employed on the North of Spain Railway. The works had already commenced. The QUEEN had received a splendid tiara set with diamonds from the SULTAN, valued at 5,000/. No business was done on the Bourse on the 18th. The Paris dlioniteur announces that the Government had received a dispatch from Captain DESFOSSES, commandant of the French station on the Isle of Bourbon, giving an account of the unsuccessful attack made upon the fort Tamatave, in Madagascar, by the French corvettes the Berceau and Zelee, and the English sloop of war the Conway, with:the in tent of repressing the acts of violence and spoliation com mitted sgainst the merchants of the two nations. The French loss amounted to 19 killed and 40 wounded. This fort, it appears, is on the eastern coast of Madagascar, in the coun try of the Betimsaras, occupied by the Hovas tribe, who had subjected the rest of the natives. Before this, Tamatave and the adjoining country were governed by a native King, under the protection of the French ; but on the occupation of the territory by the predecessor of the present Queen, the French undertook an expedition against him, captured the town, which was afterwards evacuated on the conclusion of a treaty of peace and commerce. The present Sovereign, who is styled QueeniMaN.Taxa, violated this treaty as regards France, and at the same time adopted hostile measures against all foreigners who refused to become naturalized subjects of her MAJESTY. The following letter from the Isle of Bourbon, which is published in the Journal des Debate, gives an account of the attack, with its unfortunate results: " The Government of Bourbon having been informed that by a decree, to be carried into immediate execution, all fo reigners in Madagascar were bound to get themselves made naturalized subjects of the Hovas, under pain of expulsion, the French corvettes Berceau, Captain Romain Desfosses, and Zelee, Lieutenant Fierreck, having on board detachments of ma rines for reinforcing the garrisons of St. Marie and Nossi Be, sailed for Tamatave, where they were joined by the English slOop.of.war Conway, to demand explanations, and, if neces sary, to protest against the decree. The French and English commanders united in endeavouring to enter into communication with the Hova Government, and wrote to the Queen, requesting a suspension of the measure. All was in vain. Their letters were not only unanswered, but were never forwarded to the Queen. The dwelling of a French merchant was plundered, and in conic. quence a landing was resolved upon. Unfortunately, no precise information as to the state of the fortifications and the real force of the Hovas could be obtained. About 300 men, French and English, were landed, under the command of Lieut. Fierrick. They advanced, and carried with the bayonet the first redoubt, al though it was well defended. The same success attended an attack upon a second redoubt, which was much stronger. But these gained, the assailants found themselves opposed by a wall, twenty feet high, well furnished with artillery, and girded by a deep ditch. The disappointment and vexation of the small but brave band, on finding before them an impregnable fortress, and the necessity for a retreat, may be easily conceived. But both French and English had sustained considerable losses. M. Bertho, aueigne de eels- Saw, and M. Ducimetiere, sub-lieutenant of infantry, were killed in the breach ; and Lieutenant Fierrick, an officer of the' marines, and four cadets in that service, were more or less severely'wounded. Amongst these last is distinguished M. de Graiuville, cadet of the first class of the Berceau, who seized and retained a fiag of the enemy, which both French and English rivalled each other In endeavouring to gain. The young de Grainville crowned his gal lant conduct by dividing the Bag, and giving one-half to the Eng lish I The losses of the English were in proportion to ours, and among them was an officer." Of course the affair cannot rest in this position, and we shall consequently soon hear of another expedition for the protection of the English and French traders in the island. The Constitutionnel has a long and lugubrious article on the state of the naval inscriptions. According to the report published by Admiral MAcKAU, the numbers available were —On the Ist of January, 1834, 89,524 seamen ; the Ist of January, 1844, 109,410 ; and on the Ist of January, 1845, 112,462, exclusively . of 10,384 marins de recruitment, and 12,810 inscribed workmen. "Upon the first glance," it says, "this appears to be a gratifying increase, but an inspection is now going on which will be attended with a diminution of at:leastllB,ooo,:and this must be followed by a:second reduction. Taking the same bases for the inspection as those of 1834, upon a number of 12,500, there must be a total reduction of 27,000, which will leave the maritime inscription at 98,000. Still further reductions must follow, for good seamen enter the mercantile service of other states because they receive better pay there, and thus escape from a-conscriptioll. which includes all seamen from the age of eighteen to fifty, with out offering an equivalent compensation." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers ' " an Monday, at Eu, the King, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Salerno, the Ministers of Marine and Commerce, Generals Atalin and Gourgaud, the Marquis de Dalmatle, the Marquis de Brancaccio, and Colonel Dumas, took an airing In the park of the chateau, and afterwards visited the college and the church of that establishment, in which are the tombs of the family o r anise.

ROSS AND CO. V. CURTIS. The plaintiffs in this action are wine and spirit merchants, and the defendant is the landlord of the Royal 03k public house, Earl-street, Seven-dials. The action was brought to recover the sum of 2/. 12s. 6d. for spirits supplied, and the de fendant pleaded in person that he never was indebted. To prove the case the plaintiffs' cellarman was called, who deposed to the delivery of whiskey to the above amount, and that the defendant had himself written a receipt for it in the delivery book. The jury found for the plaintiff. The SECONDARY said it was a very clear case indeed of sham plea. The costs would be increased by the plea from N. to 15 1 . This was the only case set down for hearing. BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Comissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE L-kZARUS. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a dealer in new and second-hand clothes in Marylebone and Wigmore street, came up to pass his last examination, and was opposed by the trade assignee. The assignee said that he objected to the accounts in toto ; that the debts amounted to nearly 2,0001, three-fourths of which were on accommodation bills ; there were no assets, the whole of the bankrupt's property had been swept away by an execution, at the suit of a Mr. Lyon Samuels, upon ac commodation bills, and no account was rendered. The bank rupt had stated to him, in the presence of the official assignee, that he had not kept any books, that he had made up his accounts from memory, which failed him, so that he could not give any details. The bankrupt bad had extensive deal ings in accommodation bill transactions with a person named Davies, who was examined yesterday before Mr. Commissioner Evans, who had adjourned the case, on the ground that the bankrupt's property had been seized by Mr. Samuels (above referred to) for a debt cf 1,553/., of which there was no de tailed account, and that Learned Commissioner said it might, perhaps, be founded on fraud, and that it was a public duty to refuse to pass a man on such accounts. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it must be shown to him that there was a falsification of accounts to justify him refusing to allow the bankrupt to pass. The only way to punish him was to refuse his certificate. The grounds now urged would properly apply on-that occasion. The assignee said, that if accounts like these were passed against the express rejection of them by the assignee, he himself had better be made bankrupt to morrow. Mr. LEWIS (the bankrupt's solicitor) raid he should like to have the working of the fiat.— (Laughter.) The bankrupt said he had paid him ib or 30 per cent. The assignee—Now speak the truth. - . Bankrupt—Then I should say 40. Mr. LEWIS—Now you have got the truth, or near to it. The bankrupt said he had sued out the fiat to defeat Samuel's execution; that Samuel's debt was for accommoda tion bills for 575/. in favour of Davies, and he could not say to what amount accommodation bills had passed. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he should pass the bankrupt, as no delay could improve the accounts. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Joseph Thomas, a young man dressed as a tradesman's porter, was ,placed at the bar, charged with the following daring robbery :—About nine o'clock last evening, the pri soner, who had for some time, been noticed lurking about Sackville-street, Piccadilly, contrived to slip unobserved down the area steps of the residence of Dr. Richard King, of No. 27 ; and entering the kitchen, in which none of the servants at the moment happen e d t o be, he seized hold of a tray of kvives and forks, no doubt mistaking it for the plate basket, which was standing on the same table, and contained plate to the amount of between 501. and 604 As lie was leaving the kitchen he was met:by the crok, who, suspecting he was a thief, seized him by the collar, on which be threw the knife box and contents into the sink, and made a desperate strugggle to get away, threatening to knock the girl's brains out if she did not loose her hold. The young woman, how ever, retained her grasp of him, and screaming loudly for assistance, Dr. King, and some gentlemen who were dining with him, rushed down stairs to her aid and secured him. On his being searched at the station-house about 20s. in silver were found in his possession. Mr. HARDWICK asked if he was known. Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said, that the prisoner could be identified as the party who had committed two other robberies of plate if he was remanded, to allow the necessary time to bring the witnesses forward. It also appeared that latterly numerous robberies of plate have been of late effected at the west end, by a person an swering the prisoner's description. The plan he adopted was either by sneaking down the area while the servants were engaged in some other part of the house, or knocking boldly at the hall-door, and stating that he was sent by some trades man in the neighbourhood to inquire for some article or an other to he repaired. While the servant went to make in quiries of his master or mistress, leaving him standing in the hall, his appearance and manners not exciting the least sus picion,generally made his way to the dining-room, and carried off the whole of the plate laid for dinner. In every case it would appear that he had ascertained by some means the hour at which the family dined, and the robberies were gene rally committed about half an hour before the dinner party assembled. He was remanded until this day week. CLERKEN WELL.-(T lIIS DAY.) James Connolly, aged 16, and John Silk, aged 10, well known thieves, were placed at the bar before Mr. Greenwood, charged by Mr. Robert Duke, chief usher belonging to this court, with having been concerned in picking his pocket of a silk handkerchief. Mr. Duke deposed, that on Thursday evening last, at half past eight o'clock, he was walking through Goswell-street, when he felt something kick his heel, on which he turned round, and saw three persons behind him, but having no suspicion at the time of any robbery, he proceeded a little way on his journey. when he missed his pocket-handker chief • He then went back, and at the corner of Sutton - street, Clerkenwell, he saw the prisoners and another boy , in company with each other, and Connollywas holding up his (Duke's) hand kerchief in his hand, exhibiting it to his companions for exa mination. whilst they were laughing and giggling. Duke seized the prisoners, and tying their arms together, took them to the station-house, and on their road thither Connolly said he would pay for the handkerchief if he would let him go. Connolly said he picked up the handkerchief, and two others found on him he purchased in Field-lane, Holborn, of a Jew. - _ Silk said he saw his friend pick up the handkerchief, and he went over to him to ax for hi s req'lars, or halves. • Mr. GREENWOOD fully committed Connolly for trial, but the evidence not being sufficient against Silk, he was dis charged, with a caution as to his future conduct. NORTH WALES RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) An adjourned general meeting of the Shareholders in this Company was held to-day, at the L on d on T avern, Bi shops .. gate-street, Wm. Chadwick, Esq., in the chair. The advertisement , convening the meeting having been read— The CHAIRMAN said that they were all aware that the meeting was merely called for the p ur p ose of affixing the seal to the register of Shareholders. You are aware that we are precluded from any other business ; but if any gentleman present chooses to ask me any question, I shall be happy to answer him. A SHAREHOLDER wished to khow whether any arrange ment had been made, or was in course of making, with the Chester and Holyhead Company? The CHAIRMAN said that negotiations were then pending, but they had not y et assumed an offi c i a l c h aracter; as soon, h owev er, as they did so the result would be reported to the Shareholders. There being no other business to be gone through the meeting broke up. SOUTH ...EASTERN AND CONTI NENTAL STEAM-BOAT COMPANY. -(THIS DAY.) The first general meeting of this Company was held to-day at the South-Eastern Railway station, London-bridge, Wm. BrGregor, Esq., in the chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, and the common seal of the Company affixed to the register of proprietors, The CHAIRM.AN briefly addressed the meeting. He said there was no business for the meeting to transact. They had been called together in compliance with the deed of settlement, and to learn the progress which had been made in carrying out the objects of the Company. The report which would be submitted to them would furnish the necessary information. The SECRETARY then read the report, to the effect that 11,043 shares had been issued, on which 41. each had been paid up, realising a capital of 44,1721. The Company had got five iron boats constructed, and others were in progress. There was not time yet for a dividend to be declared, but by the next meeting, in February ensuing, it was fully expected that there would be one. The report having been received and adopted, the meeting immediately afterwards adjourned. Viscount and Viscountess Sidmouth, who have at Hastings, have left that watering - place. been sojourning MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to 5,000 bags, all to the trade. In prices there is not the least change. 300 Maranham realised 5 1 / 2 d. to 6:V.•, 300 Surat, 34d to 3 3 %d. ; 400 Egyptian, 6 1 / 2 d. to 7 1 / 2 d. ; and from 3,000 to 4,000 American, 3 3 /, i d. to d. In Shares a moderate business was doing. It has been mentioned by almost all our Contemporaries, as an extraordinary fact, that a large shipment of salt has just been made from Liverpool to Calcutta. The fact is so, and in calling attention to the matter, it ought to be stated that at the last akinual meeting of the General Shipowners' Society the report of the Committee stated— " Many subjects involving the interests of shipping have engaged the attention cf your Commi tee. Among them may be enumerated a proposal to endeavour to open the markets of India and China for British manufactured salt, &c." It is satisfactory to find that the objects of the Committee are likely to be realised. There are not any late arrivals announced in the City to day of importance. Competition for the construction of foreign lines of railway appears to be as strong, as far as the extension of com munication on the Continent is concerned, as in this country. A new party is in the field, and a most powerful body too, in order to compete for the Lyons and Avignon Railway. At the head of the list of the Com mittee of Management is Sir John Easthope, M.P., and there are the names of Mr. J. L. Ricardo, Mr. Walter, Mr. Ardonin, &c. There is no question as to the importance of the line. We are desirous of noticing that the party of the name of Wetenhall, brought before the Lord Mayor for an assault, is not Mr. James Wetenhall, the publisher of the Stock Ex change Lists. As for very many years the writer of this City article has received much information upon money matters, &c., from him, a ready desire ought to be shown to " place thesaddle on the right horse." Consols have receded to 98M for the Account, and for Money to 98%. The quotations are now a shade butter. Exchequer-bills keep firm. India Stock is steady at 268. Not half a dozen bargains were reported in the foreign funds to. day. The only fresh prices are, for Danish, 90 ; for Spanish Three per Cents., 38; for Dutch Two-and Half per Cents., 60 ; and for Equador, 5. There is a heavy market for nearly all the railway shares to-day. The Cambridge and Lincoln look firm. The quo tations of the French lines are also pretty steady.

ITW 11131 Alit& 1 - „ 44 • LONDON. FRIDA.Y, SEPTEMBER 26, 1845. Those who are in the habit of reading our articles of Naval Intelligence" must have remarked that, although we are told, from time to time, that a 12-gun brig, or a sloop, or a small frigate of 32 or 36 guns, has been laid down, we hear of scarcely any " new lines" for ships of war, of the first, second, third, or even fourth rates. As for those enor mous war-steamers, of which the country has heard such abundant promises, since Sir C. NAPIER'S show up of their _ _ . cardinal blunders and organic deficiencies of construction, their utter incapacity—in some, to bear even—in others to find working room for—the heavy armament which they were expressly designed to carry, they seem to have ever since slumbered in the limbo of good intentions. They are, as it were, high and ambitious visions of Admiralty dreamers, reduced, it is true, into substantial frameworks of timber and iron ; but, for any purposes of completed efficiency, as utterly unavailable to the service of the country as the spectral craft of the " Flying Dutchman." They are instructive specimens of the ingenious art of producing ships, pierced for guns of very heavy calibre, which when got on board they cannot safely carry, or for which, if they can carry them, there is not room and space enough provided to work them. It must not, however, be supposed that, practically, there is any formidable difficulty in the way of building war-steamers of capacity, armament, and immersion, in all respects accu rately fulfilling the conditions of their design. We need not go far for the proof of this important fact, seeing that in the Great Britain our builders had already accomplished more than the exigencies of such war-steamers would de mand. The Great Britain (perhaps too enormous to be pro posed for a model in this case) can readily carry forty-four heavy guns. We have not, at present, a single war-steamer turned out in any of her MAJESTY'S dockyards that can do the same. But other maritime powers (we ought to blush at the acknowledgment) have far exceeded us in the magnificence of the war-steamers they have built. True, indeed, for capacity and tonnage, the world has not yet seen a rival to the " Great Britain." If, however, the United States have not, in their naval architecture, yet turned out a naval bulwark of 3,480 tons, they two years since sent forth 1 their " Missouri" for the admiration and wonder of Europe, with her tremendous armament of forty heavy guns, her length of 250 feet from stem to stern, and her capacity of 2,300 tons. A month has not elapsed since we saw, riding in an English harbour, a steam frigate of equal dimensions and armament from Russia, and under the Imperksi flag ; but she, too, was built, it appears, by the builders of New York. The Missouri, it is well known, was utterly consumed in the Bay of Gibraltar; but the Russian has gone to exhibit her strength and her pro portions in the Mediterranean or the Black Sea. It is high time that the public should be apprised to what the invincible reluctance of the Admiralty to take the lead in turning out first-class models of first-class war-ships is owing. It is in vain for them to fall back on the professional reputation of the Go vernment surveyors and builders. Whether the fault be attri butable, which we do not believe, to the defective science or ciZre attie naval architects, or to injudicious and arbitrary in. terferekee with them in other quarters, which we strongly suspect to be the ease ; the fact of excessive failure in the royal building ylkrds is too notorious to be disputed. Sir C. NAPIER and Captain BERKELEv have demonstrated, beyond all cavil, the absurd disciTprincies between the calculations relative to extension, displacement, &C., &c, 4114 the ac tual results, after launching and stowing, of a dwell of these lamentable and very costly impeitions in the shape of new sailing ships and new steanizrS produced by her MAJESTY'S servants, lint on the face of these exposures, despite of these practical admonitions, we do not even attempt the building of these superior steamers, whose employment must exercise so large, not to say para mount, an influence on the event of any future naval war. All that is done (we do not now speak of what is promised), in the way of ship building, is, to turn out small craft exactly of the kind which all the odds imaginable would devote to intiliV diate capture or destruction, if we did not know against what adverse superiority the intrepidity of our seamen can contend. But it is absolutely wicked, as well as presmnptuous, to permit it to be risked in the sort of centest against overwhelming forces, to which, as we are now going on, we are abandoning it, and with it the lives of the many brave and devoted Britons who will Assuredly exhibit lit. Why, we repeat, does the Admiralty studiously refuse to imitate the example of the United States' Naval Dgmt- I partment in the timely improvement and organisation of the service confided to it? Is the same petty, illiberal, jealous, and over-vaunting spirit still in its councils, which, under the disastrous Secretaryship of Mr. Wasorr CnoEga, conti nued not only to send out, but to build 32 and 36-gun frigA,tes to fight against the great 44aad 40-gun frigates of America' Eilil z A - - "•t•l` MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. Compared with those of the preceding week, the arrivals of Eng lish Wheat up to our market since Monday have been tolerably good, though by no means large. The weather being fine for harvest work in the north, and the stands better filled than for some time past, the demand to-day for Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. The finest qualities of both Red and White, however, sold at the late advance in the quotations; but the middling and inferior kiNds must be considered Is per quarter cheaper, and a clearance was not effected. Of fine foreign Wheat the show was small, nevertheless, the sale for it was heavy, at an abatement of Is per quarter. 'lhe inquiry for Wheat under lock w s trifling, hence holders were more moderate in their demands. No new Barley at Market. Grinding sorts were in request at full prices, but other kinds hung on hand. The demand for Malt was not so active as on Monday, but we can notice no alte ration in value. Nearly 30,000 quarters of foreign Oats having come to hand, the Oat trade was dull, and the inferior parcels had a down ward tendency. Beans and Peas supported Monday's quotations, but Flour hung on hand. ARRIVALS. English • • .. .. Irish •••• • • • • Foreign ...... Wheat. 1 Barley. Oats.

The supply of Beasts being seasonably large, and the attendance - of buyers small, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, and Mon day's prices were - with difficulty supported. From. Holland and Ger many we received 110 Oxen and Cows, 400 Sheep, and 13 Calves. Sheep—the number of which was small—sold briskly, and previous rates were readily maintained. In Lambs a steady business was transacted, at full prices. Calves moved off slowly, and the quota tions had in sonic instances a downward tendency. Pigs were quite as dear. Mulch Cows were selling at from 161 to 191 each. Suckling Calves. 18s to 30s; and Quarter old Store Pigs, 16s to .21s each. Beasts, 713; Cows, 98; Sheep and Lambs, 6,620; Calves, 342; Pigs, 291.

Since picking has been commenced, about 2,000 pockets of New Hops have arrived here from Keht and Sussex in good condition. Nearly the whole have found buyers, at from 6110 s to 71 for Weald of Kents, and G 1 Gs to Gi 14e for Sussex. In Yearlings a steady business is doing, at full prices. The duty is called 165,0001 to 170,0001. COLONIAL. SUGAR. —The demand has rather fallen off, owing to the very large arrivals. The fact is, however, that the contrary winds have for a long time kept out supplies, and now they are all coming in together. West India sorts are rather cheap this week ; 100 hhds. Barbadoes went at 54s to 55s 6d for fine yellow, and at 49s to 51s for mid. East India Mauritius has been dull of sale, and rather lower, and Bengal does not support previous rates, being at present in but limited demand. REFlNED.—Standard lumps have been 67s to 6Ss per cwt., and brown grocery lumps 66s to 66s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—These samples have been quite neglected. CoFFEE.British Plantation sorts are held for about pre vious rates, but there is very little doing. Low and mid sell best ; ord to fine fine ord Jamaica has been taken at 72s to 75s per cwt. Ceylon has been dull of sale at 47s to 49s for low to good ord pale, but at auction 635 bags were taken in at 47s for low good ord. Mocha has been in some demand, but the supply is very limited. Fair and mid clean garbled has been sold at 62s to 66s per cwt. Java, and foreign sorts generally, have been dull. COCOA.—Triuidad has been taken in at 42s 6d to 44s 6d per cwt. SPICES.—There has been a good inquiry for Pimento, and full prices have been obtained. Low to fine is 3d to 3 3 %d per lb. A good demand has been experienced privately for Black Pepper. Sumatra has realised 2%d to 2%d, and Malabar 3 1 . A id to 3%d. 2,512 bags Penang partly sold at 2 1 / t d to 3d for damaged. Cassia Lignea has been quiet. Rum.—There is not much doing. SALTPETRE.—Thera is a full supply of this article, and prices, therefore, are rather heavy. RlCE.—Less animation has prevailed in the demand for this article, and consequently prices are barely so high. Bengal, low to fine white, has realised 19s to 23s per cwt. Abroad the quotations keep up. TALLOW.—There has been a firm market for P.Y.C., which is in good demand at 41s 3d to 41s 6d per cwt on the spot for new, and at 40s 9d to 41s for old. Town has been 41s 6d to 42s per cwt nett. TEA.—The market has been steady, but there is not an extensive business doing. DRIJRYLANE THEATRE.—We are most gratified to hear that every prospect presents itself of this establish ment being highly patronised during the ensuing season, boxes and stalls being already secured by her Majesty and her Majesty the Queen Dowager • by the Dukes of Devon shire, Leeds, and Beaufort; by the Lords Chesterfield, Shel burne, Seaham, Munster, Glamis, Suffield, Erroll, Dupplin, Pembroke, &c. ; Count De oailles, Count Kielmansegge ; Sirs C.

Seymour, Cunningham, Williams, Salomons, Goldsmid, Arcedeckne, Twiss, Clayton, Hume, Beech, &c. NEW SHELLS AND GRENADES.—Captain Billette, of the French navy, has recently invented -new shells and grenades, which are said to have greater destructive powers than any hitherto known. These projectiles, when fired at a ship, do not pass through her side, making a simple hole, but explode in the act of striking, and cause a large rent, and spread a combustible matter in every direction which it is impossible to extinguish, and the ship struck cannot escape from being burnt. Captain Billette has been appointed to the command of the Meleager, in which he is to go into all the ports of France to form depots of his shells and grenades, and give instructions as to the mode of using them to the mariue artillerymen. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 25.—(From our Correepon dent..)—Th. Draw. isagie 2411. D. D. Owl., commander, left Woolwich at twelve o'clock to.day, with Rear. Admiral William Bowles, one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, for Sheerness and Chatham. The Monkey steam. vessel, Mr. Bryant, master-coinmander,left Woolwich for Dover and Plymouth, and conveyed the party that brought the Dragon steam-frigate to the river back to Plymouth on their return home. Vice. Admiral Richard Matson visited Woolwich Dockyard to.day, to witness the progress of the works on the G rampus, 50 guns, and the Terrible steam-vessel. The latter is having her masts put up. CRERTSEY FAIR, SURREY.--Yesterday, this autumn fair was held in the usual fair-field at Chertsey. Although not large, this is considered a good market for the sale and purchase of lean stock. The supply of cattle this year was tolerably good, and made the following prices :—Cows (with small calf), 15/. to 17/. ; ditto down calving, 121. to 141.; heifers, from 71. to 91. ; boast, grass-fatted, averaged 141.; lean stock, for stalling, from 6!. to 101.; good Southdown ewes (early lambing) worth 265. to 28s. a head ; old ditto, 17s, to 20s. ; wetherS, two guineas ; tags, '2ss. ; lambs, 16s. There was a good sprinkling of horses, which, young and lit far farming purposes, fetched 18 to 2eguineas ; inferior ditto met with a dull market. • • , _ _ _ _ - ST. JAMES'S PARK.—During the last few days a large number of workmen have been busily engaged in laying down new iron pipes in St. James's Park, for the purpose of fur. nishing Buckingham Palace and several of the Government offices with a more abundant supply of water. MONUMENT TO LIEUTENANT WYLDE.—We under stand it is the intention of some of the friends of the late Lieu. tenant Wylde, R.N., to erect a suitable monument in Dunbar churchyard to his memory, and that of his gallant associates, who lost their lives in the cause of humanity on the 20th ult.—Edinburgh Witness. One of the women employed in cutting rags in the mills of Messrs. Tanner, at Cheddar, lately made the discovery of a 10/. note in ripping open an old pocket. It appears to have been issued by Messrs.

DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—Yesterday Mr. Baker, held an inquest, at the Three Colts, Grove.street, Hackney.wick, on the body of Mrs. Mary Harper, wife of a baker, residing in Union.place, Betlinal.green. It appeared from the evidence of the husband that the deceased had an interest in the above public. house, which is to be pulled down for the formation of the Vic toria-park. A knowledge of that circumstance had unsettled her mind, and kept her in suspense relative to the final disposition of the property in question. On Sunday week last she was cupped for pain in the head, and recovered sufficiently to attend to her domestic avocations. On Monday morning she expressed a wish to walk out with her husband, and just as he was ready, she was seized with violent headache and pains in the eye. Her husband immediately hastened for a surgeon, but she expired during his absence. Verdict, " Natural death." The Bishop of Exeter consecrated the new church of Allhallows, Exeter, on Monday last. DEATH OF Two BROTHERS BY DROWNING. — On Thursday Mr► Baker held an inquest at the Duke of Sussex, Hag gerstone.bridge, on the bodies of Edwin William and William Adolphus Payne, of the respective ages of eight and eleven years. It appeared hem the evidence, that about half. past.one o'clock on Wednesday morning, a man named Black was employed in paint. ing and glazing at No. 9, Bridge.pllce, Haggerstone, when his attention was suddenly drawn by observing' the head and hand of a boy in the water:struggling beneath the arch of the !midge. A lady who was also passing at the time gave an alarm. Several persons immediately ran to the rescue, amongst whom was a young man named John Devereux, employed in the East India Com pany's warehouses, at Poplar, who, seeing the danger of the chil dren, threw Mr his coat and plunged into the water. He dived successively after the bodies for about two or three minutes, when he was taken out in a most deplorable state of exhaustion. Both bodies were ultimately taken out by a waterman by a boathook, and conveyed to the Duke of Sussex, where several medical gen. tlemen were promptly in attendance, who for upward: of two hours ineffectually endeavoured to restore animation. How the children came into the water was a matter of perfect conjecture, and the jury, at the suggestion of the Coroner, returned an open ♦erdict in both eases of " Found drowned." THE HAGUE, SEPT. 9.l.—Their Royal Hignesses the Prince and Princess of Orange left the Hague the day before yesterday for Stuttgard. The Goer Courant says the harvest of rye, barley, wheat, peas, and oats, which was begun at a good time, and in tine weather, has been almost wholly got in during three weeks, in which the weather has been constantly fine. This is to be crate. fully remarked, especially as we have now again much rain. The quantity and quality are good. The S!ants Courant confirms the melancholy accounts from Surinam. It says--" Billions fevers have broken out among the new colonists, of whom 30 are dead, and several others are confined to their beds," Later accounts are rather more favourable. TNE HAGUE, SEPT. 22.—We regret to say that the day before yesterday, and yesterday in the evening, some acts of violence took place against some mealmen. The police and some military were soon at hand. Some persons, as we hear, were arrested. To.day the mealmen's shops were again opened.

Unfortunately, the gale increased, and the rain fell in torrents the whole day; and, as it was arranged they should return the same mining, at nine o'clock, many of them pulled uncommonly long faces at the idea of crossing the Channel upon such a stormy night ; but they were soon happily relieved by the courtesy of the committee, who de termined not to return till the next morning at half-past nine o'clock, which gave th em t h e greatest_ satisfaction, as it enabled them to refresh them se l ves for the passage home, and, as it turned out, in the morning the gale had not de creased ; but being assured by the committee that they had crossed in worse weather, and that they first-rate crew, one t of the finest vessels in the .wprld, and a o ed steam them to Dover, we left Boulogne at the time appointed, , and arrived home in two hours and five minutes, mendous sea, many of them more dead an ;14, a ' i il e i; charge was only 3s. each way.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 25.—The packet ship Sea, Captain. Edwards, arrived in the Mersey at an earl• hour this morn ing from New York, which city she left on the 3d inst. The aspect of affairs had not undergone any change from the date of our previous advices. The movements of the United States' troops towards Texas are noticed in the journals, but the details are uninteresting here. The quotation of exchange on London on the 2d was 1091 to 110. Money continued in moderate demand at 6 per cent. per annum. The native American steamer Marmora, W. A. Page com mander, had sailed from New York for this port, on the afternoon of the 2d inst., with 16 cabin anti 24, steerage passengers. We have not received any intelligence of her. The :ollowing is from the Nay York Herald: E WAR. "We have no further accounts from the seat of war in Mexico or TexaQ, nor from New Orleans nor Washington. Everything still remains in doubt, and enshrouded in mys tery, Rumours are thickening of every kind and variety, but nothing tangible apppears on the face of them. Some of the latest accounts state that the Meiicans have yet made no appearance on the Itio Grande ; others fear that General Taylor is in danger. It appears from the best information', derived from various sources, that the War Department at Washington has made some grave bluadera in fitting out the expedition to Corpus Christi, where General Taylor has fixed his head-quarters. It scents from this statement that the artillery companies have been sent there without proper cannons ; and that to render these troops of any service in case of an attack "from the Mexicans this Government is compelled to forward cancon fit fur service. • Strong com ments are made on this statement against the President ; but we think with no justice nor discretion. If the fault has been committed, it must rest with the head of the War De partment, Secretary Marcy. "If there is any truth in the accounts we have received from Vera Cruz, the Mexicans must have reached the Rio Grande before this time. If they pass it, we may expect soon to hear of some action of a very importalit nature between the two armies. We hear nothing further of privateers, but the anxiety of the republic is increasing every day, all being eager to learn what will be the result of the declarations, threats, and protestations put forth by Mexico, as well as the preparations made by the United ,States Government to repel attack." EXPLOSION AT A FIREWORK MANUFACTORY, AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES. Between eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday forenoon the inhabitants of Harlow West Marsh were alarmed by a loud explosion, which was ascertained to have proceedod from a manufactory of fireworks, carried on in a house situated in a row of buildings known as the "Back-row." On arriving at the spot alluded to, the spectators were horrified at per ceiving the scorched and mutilated remains of a man lying in the yard of the house where the explosion had occurred. The upper part of the house itself was on fire, but the flames shortly afterwards subsided, and the lower part of the house, the entire of which consisted of two stories, remained un injured. From an examination of the premises it was ascer tained that the explosion hadstaken place in a room on the second story, carrying away the greater portion of the root, and demolishing the wall separating the two rooms of which the floor consisted. The two rooms presented a scene of com plete destruction, the furniture and other fittings being shat tered into innumerable fragments. Doubled up in a corner of the room lay the body of a youth, dreadfully crushed, and quite dead. It appears that the entire house was rented by a man. named Jackson, whose remains were discovered on the out side of the premises, and who, assisted by his son (the youth whose body was found in the room), carried on the business of a firework manufacturer. The workshop was on the upper story of the house ; but in what manner the explosion oc curred, cannot, of course, be ascertained. It is a fortunate circumstance that the explosion was confined to the upper part of the house, as there was a large quantity of rockets and other combustible material stowed away on the first floor of the building. But little damage was sustained by the adjoining houses, in consequence of the explosion having evidently taken a perpendicular direction. An inquest on the bodies will be held this day . (Friday), at twelve o'clock, before Mr. J. Hammond, the deputy-coroner. I DESTRUCTIVE FIRE—(Tan DAY.)—Between the hours of four and five o'clock this morning a dreadful fire was discovered in the shop of Mr. Wright, boot and shoe maker, Wandsworth-road, known as the Railway Mart. The utmost promptitude was evinced by the neighbours and police to save the family, in which they succeeded, and in five minutes the engine of Messrs. Beaufoy, chemical merchants, was In full operation on the burning mass. Every exertion was for a time useless, and the house from top to bottom was all ott fire. The destruction of the adjoining houses was considered inevitable, when, at this juncture, two of the London Esta blislnnent, with a West of England engine arrived. Water was sufficient for all, and by half last four the fire was ex tinguished, but all the propertyof Mr. Wright was consumed, and serious damage was also the consequence to the adjoining houses. Mr. Wright is insured in the Sun and Iremit Fire: offices. BATES AND WASH-DOUSES FOE THE LABOURING. CLASSES.—Yesterday the baths and wash-houses for the labouring classes in the parish of St. Pancras, now in course of erection mound the base of the extensive reservoir be longing to the New River Company, in the Hampstead-road, were thrown open for the inspection of the public. The site for this building, occupying about 7,000 square feet, has been handsomely presented to the committee by the Nevr River Company at the nominal rent of ss. per year, and the suns raised by voluntary contributions for the purpose of the erection amounts to about 600/. The building (the entrance of which is in George-street, liampstearl-read) extends around the east, south, and northern .0- reservoir, and tue tarangeuieuts made and rapidly pro gressing towards completion will provide 30 single baths, 20 for men and ten for wetnon, 5 vapour baths, and 2 large plunging baths. In the washing department accommoda tion is provided .for 64 washing compartments, &c. The whole of these compartments are exceedingly commodious, having steam-pipes and all other necessaries for boiling and cold water, as occasion may require. The plunging baths are very capacious, the larger being 60 feet long and 30 feet wide, and the smaller 40 feet by 20. To a poor man or woman the charge for a separate cold bath containing 60 gallons of water will be one penny, and a warm bath tw-pence, fresh water and clean towels being provided for e a c h b a th er . Th ere are a few higher priced ths, dif:ering only from the others in having more expensive fittings. The charge for the use of a double washing-tub, with an ample supply of hot and cold water, of the arepers, drying-room, and ironing apparatus, will be at the rate of one penny for three hours. There is but little doubt the establishment, when completed, will prove of great benefit to the poor of the neighbourhood. The establishment is expected to be got into operation in the course of a few weeks, although it is stated that 3001, more is required to effect its completion. u , - SPLENDID STAG.—A few days ago J.

SOUTH SEA. STocic:—Yesterday a Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of South Sea Stock was held at the Company's house in Threadneedle. street, Mr. C. Franks, the Sub.. Governor, in the chair. The Court was very thinly attended. The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The chairman then said that the present was a half-yearly general. Court, held in pursuance of the charter, at which it was necessary to elect a Committee of seven gentlemen to inspect the bye.laws. He then read the names of the gentlemen forming the present Cam. mittee, and said that each of them had the necessary amount of the Company's stock (9,000/.) to qualify them to be on that Com mittee, and he should, therefore, move that they be re-appointed. The motion was put and carried. The chairman then said that, in pursuance of one of the bye-laws, an account of the bond debt of the Company would now be read. The secretary read the ac count, after which the chairman said there was no other business before the Court, and it was thereupon adjourned. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN ri,AILWAY..-- An accident occurred to the luggage train, which contained a great number of third-class passengers, on Tuesday morning, on its journey from Exeter to Paddington. One of the trucks, ladeta with timber, became disconnected, by the brtaking of a chain, from the truck in advance, and swerving acroF s the up and down rails, caused a stoppage on the line for upwards of two hours. The lug-. gage.train, which left Paddington at 'nalf.past six, and the halt past seven and the half-past eight o'clock down trains, wore de tained close to where the accidcnt occurred until past ten o'clock, when the line was cleared of all obstruction, and they proceeded onwards at an interval:of five minutes between the starting of each. The up-trains were also similarly delayed. Considerable alarm was occasioned to tint third-class passengers in the luggage train, who, fortunately, with the exception of a few slight buises, escaped unhurt. DARING AND ADROIT ROBBERY. — Yesterday, be tween the hours of ten and three o'clock, a most daring and adroit robbery was committed at the house of Mr. Scargill, residing ill Stanhor:,e.street, Hampstead.road. It appears that Mr. Scargill and cis niece are at present staying at Southampton, the house being left in charge of an old domestic. Yesterday morning he re ceived a letter as he supposed from his master, with directions to be at the Vauxhall terminus between ten and eleven o'clock, at which hour the letter stated Mr. Seargi.'d expected to arrive in town. Thrown oil' his guard by what he conceived to bea genuine document, the man was punctual to his time; and alter haa waiting till after two o'clock returned home, altered his determination.
