' It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great mart of trade, • and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved of by . the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water , power. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,000/. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of geods between the chief port and the Qapital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un dertaking will be one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no farther portion of the capital will be called fc r than may be sufficient to construct that line ; and if the objects or the Company be not carried oat, the whole of the deposit-money will be returned. Applications for Shares with reference to be made to the Secretary t the Office of the Company. No. 6, Old Jewry. lOld DON, WARWICK, LE-AMI.N GTO.N, and .

A great deal of satisfaction has been expressed in commer cial circles to- day at the promulgation of an order in council, that sugars the produce of Siam are to be admitted here at the reduced duty of 28s. and 235. 4d. respectively, as not being the produce of slave labour. As a matter of course, re fined qualities are excluded from this benefit. It is a curious fact that the produce of China, of Java, and Manilla is admitted upon the low terms, when they take so little of our manufac tures, while Brazil is a most excellent customer. It is, how ever, extremely probable that ere long we shall have sugars exported from Rio de Janeiro, where they have not been produced by slave labour. Some little interest is attached to the result of the sale of 124 bags of Siam sugar, which is an • nounced for this day. It is expected that advanced prices will be realised. There are no late arrivals in the City announced to-day from the British colonies. A merchant in the City, Mr. J. H. Elliot, has furnished us, in common with other of our Contemporaries, with a pub lication of his entitled, " Credit, the Life of Commerce," being a defence of the British merchant against the unjust and demoralising tendency of the recent alteration, and an out line of the laws of debtor and creditor, and remedial mea sures. We may take an early opportunity of quoting from this interesting pamphlet. There has been an improvement in the English Funds to day. Consols have advanced to 994 %. and for money to 994. The premium on Exchequer-bills is firm at 61s. South Sea Stock is at 112. Mexican Stock has rallied to-day, some bargains having been made at 35% and at 35%.

OfENING OF THE CATHEDRALS TO THE PUBLIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Madrid papers to the sth have arrived. The Gazette publishes a royal decree apportioning the land-tax of 300,000,000 rials among the forty-nine provinces of the kingdom, and declaring that the first half-year must be paid immediately. This measure continues to excite great dissatisfaction throughout the kingdom. _ _ Bryanstone- square, August . 11, 1845. SIR: I consider the opening of the Abbey at West minster to the public free for some hours daily an object of importance, and I am anxious to give publicity to the following letter from the Very Rev. the Dean of Dur ham, which may satisfy the Deans and Chapters of other Cathedrals that they may follow the example set by the dignitaries of that diocese, with-safety to the monuments in their Cathedrals, and with great advantage to the people of this country, who, by their exemplary con duct on all occasions where they have been admitted to public buildings, have proved themselves worthy of being trusted. During the trials that have been going on fur fourteen or fifteen years, no instance has occur red in any museum or public collection, where the people have acted improperly ; on the contrary, their conduct has invariably been exemplary and deserving of praise and of increased confidenre.: Your obedient servant, (Signed) JOSEPH HUME. N.B.—The Dean and Chapter cf Norwich have also admitted the public free to the Cathedral for some hours daily. " The Dean of Durham presents his compliments to Mr. Hume, and begs to inform him that the cathedral of Durham has been open to the public for several hours a day for the last four years, without payment being re quired from any one ; and the Dean is happy to add, that not one instance of . misconduct on ihe part of any one of the numer ius visitors has come to his knowledge. General ALCALA and Brigadier MONTERO had been ordered to quit Madrid in twenty-four hours. Every thing was quiet on the Bth at Barcelona, and throughout Catalonia. The QUEEN is to leave St. Sebastian on the 16th for the baths of Santa Aguada. The Infanta LUISA, however, will remain at St. Sebastian, for the purpose of sea bathing. The QUEEN is expected at Pampeluna on the 26th. The Royal Family is not ex• . petted to return to Madrid until the end of September. MADRID BOURSE, AUG. s.—Spanish Securities have risen considerably to-day, although the amount of busi ness transacted was not large. The improved condition of the market arises from the report that Senor MoN had overcome the difficulties attendant on the regulation of the debt, and that his financial plan was on the eve of being published. In the Three per Cents., in which 21,320,000 reels were negotiated at 301 for cash, higher ; and at 311 at 60 days, higher. One bargain was effected in the Five per Cents. for 2,000,000 rials at 22f fur 60 days. Exchanges on London at 90 days, 374 to "The Dean is led to give Mr. Hume this information by observing that, in the late debates on the subject, Sir Robert Peel expressed a hope that the example of West minster, which is not yet set, would be followed by other cathedrals. " Deanery, Durham, Aug. 7, 1845." We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Debats contains a long letter from Zurich on the affairs of Switzerland. It appears from the statements in this letter, that a National Guard is organising thrmighout Switzerland among the Radical party, the object of which is to expel the Jesuits ; and according to some reports to destroy the federation, and form Switzerland into one individual republic. A German refugee, named SNELL, is the chief of the association, which has established its head-quarters at Berne. It is i.nagined that they will effect a revolution in Berne, similar to the one recently effected in Vaud, and that then they will declare war against Lucerne. The popu lation in the small mountain cantons are arming to de fend the Jesuits, so that a collision seems inevitable. It is believed the struggle will take place in September. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE WEST INDIES. • We have just seen a gentleman who came as a passenger on board the St. Vincent, from Trinidad to Bristol, which vessel, as was, stated in The Sun of yesterday, was boarded on her homeward voyage by a schooner supposed to be piratical. He says, that during the whole of the previous day the St. Vincent had been followed by a suspicious-looking brig. When morning came the schooner was discovered in com pany with the brig. , They parted, and the schooner bore down oh the St. Vincent. There were only two men on the deck of the schooner, one at the wheel and another with a telescope, lint below she was crowded with men. She hoisted Spanish colours, as did the brig, which also bore clown on the St. Vincent. The brig having spoken an American man-of-war which was in sight, the schooner left the St. Vincent, joined the brig, and they sailed off in com pany, the brig leading the way. The schooner was a low Baltimore clipper, and had -a piece of ordnance on her deck. She gave the latitude and longitude, chalked on a board, but she was at least 20 degrees out in her reckoning, so that, in all probability, she had no chronometer on board. - . , COURT OF • CHANCERT.—(YESTERDAY.) —lt was generally understood, from the announcements that have taken place, that the Lord Chancellor would have sat in his private room at Westminster yesterday, for the purpose of giving judg ment in several cases that have been heard before him ; however, it is now supposed that his Lordship will sit to day, not only to give judgments, but to dispose of any matters that may press. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, who is the vacation judge to the end of the present month, will sit in his court in Lincoln's Inn on Friday. f j STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—(From a Correspondent.) —We regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident, attended with fatal results, occurred on the Thames on Tuesday evening. From all we could learn in a hasty gathering of facts, it appears that the celebrated fast steamer " Father Thames," on her voyage from Gravesend, made the pool about ten o'clock, with a great number of passengers, where, from some unavoid able cause, she came full on to a heavy barge, and with such force as to instantlrcarry away her peddle-box and side cabin, in which were several persons. It may be readily imagined that consternation and confusion arose immediately, the vessel being thrown on one side, and several persons in the water, Five persons; we are told, were rescued from a watery grave. but whether'any, or several, are lost, we have yet to learn. From the disabled state of the vessel, the passengers had to be landed at Wapping from small boats. ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF THE NETHERLANDS IN HOLLAND.-=The King of the Netherlands arrived at Helvoet sluys on Saturday morning, at ten o'clock, in the Dutch steam frigate Cycloopt. The Prince of Orange had arrived in the Lion steamer to meet his Majesty, who at once went on board the Lion, and proceeded to RotOrdam. His Majesty arrived at the Hague on Saturday, at four o'clock, r. at. BIRTH OF A PRINCE OF SARE4IOBURG GOTHA.— Her Royal Highness the Princess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was safely delivered of a Prince on Saturday morning, at the chateau of Eu. . A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.--.--The ' Meer Railway Company have fitted up their third-class carriages with com fortable seats, and divided them into compartments. As a na. tural consequence, the number of passengers travelling by those carriages will be greatly increased. The arrangement should, ho4ever, have been adopted from the first, as was the case on the Dublin and Drogheda line, the carriages on which are among the most comfortable to be met with anywhere.— Banner of U ster.

STATE or .12RADE.—The weather continues to exerci.e an unfavourable influence upon the goods market, which has been very quiet for the last few days, though without any sensible change in prices.

SUICIDE BY A. DRUNKARD.—Tuesday, Mr. Wok ley, M. P. , held an inquest at the Skinners' Arms, Corporation row, Coburgh.street, Clerkenwell, on the body of Wiliiatr. Dunn, aged 45, a machinist, late of 35, Meredith-street. The deceased, who was a first-rate mechanic, had, during the last five years, indulged in habitual drunkenness, which resulted in dedriuni tremens. During his feverish fits of inebriety, he frequently threatened to commit suicide, which his family sup posevi he eever intended to pet into effect. On. Sunday morn ing he was very ill, and told his wife that he had taken arsenic, expressing at the same time a strong desire that a medical man should be sent for. Mr. Buchanan was accordingly called in, but the unfortunate man was a corpse before that gentleman arrived. Upon a post mortem examination, it was found that his alimentary canal was quite empty of food, and that his in testines were in a high state of inflammation from the effects of at...erne. Verdict—ft That the deceased destroyed himself while labouring under insanity." SUGAR. (From the London Gazette of Tuesday.)

HER MAJ Es 1' Y's VI I'l' 1 0 THE c.ONT iNEN T. THE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL AT ANTWERP AND DE PARTURE FOR GERMANY. BRUSSELS, Atm. 11.—It was generally believed in this city on Friday last, that her Majesty the Queen of Erieland would arrive at Antwerp on Saturday afternoon, about one o'clock. Accordingly, numerous English residents left by the first train on the latter day, and were met at Alalines by many of our countrymen, from various towns in connexion with the railway. As it was understood by the civic authorities that it was her Majesty's wish to dispense, as much as possible, with all cere mony, very few preparations for her reception were discernible. Some bustle was occasionally displayed on the quays, particu larly about eight in the evening, on the arrival of the Lightning and Monkey steamers, with eight royal carriages. During Sunday forenoon the chief attraction was the Soho steamer, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, which was gaily decked out with numerous flags and streamers, and which had a very pretty appearance, as it slowly proceeded down the Scheldt, about two o'clock, on her voyage to London. On meeting the royal yacht the crew and passengers of the Soho gave three " glorious cheers," to use the words of our informant. About half-part five the report of the guns in the Lillo, Mary, and North torts announced her Majesty's approach. The national flag was imrnerliasely hoisted en tne top of the grand tower of the cathedral, just under the cross (which is 466 feet from the ground), the cele brated carillons of that edifice rang merrily, and the Belgian and English colours were suspended between the houses on the Butter Canal—a broad paved street, from which a splendid view of the far-famed tower of the cathedral is obtained, and right opposite a Inch was the landing-place selected and pie pared for the ro ! al visitors. os soon, too, as the distant salutes were heard, the guns of the cita:lel of antwerp, of the Light ning steamer, and of some Belgian vessels, commenced firing, and in less than ten minutes after the roar of artillery had be gun, the broad and commodious quays, which, up to that time had been comparatively deserted in consequence of the un favourable weather, became thronged with dense masses of human beings. The vessels in the Scheldt, and in the St. Aldegonde, Bremin, and Hamburgh quays, displayed a variety of national flags and colours, amongst which the English, United States, and Prussian were conspicuous. At length the.royalsystcht.doublesh-the-last point in the-river dose tti thet own, an d e rafting' ta ftilleviiitv, , Prbeebdeff majes tically along the long Jordaens and Van Dyke Quays, which were literally tined with spectators, who cheered loudly as the vessel passed. Her Majesty was discovered seated on the deck between the Counters of Gains borough and Viscountess Canning, and Prince Albert, who was dressed in a white coat, and a cap with a gold, border, was standing near her. A shower of rain was falling at the the time, but it did not apparently prevent the august visitors enjoying- the animated scene before - them. The.royal steamer anchored in the middle of the Scheldt nearly opposite the Butter Canal (Boer my) already referred to. The burgomaster and the other local authorities immediately rowed off to the yacht, and were graciously tereived en board. The only Englishman, vi e believe, who proceeded to the Victoria and Albert, shortly after the. Queen's arrival, was Mr. Johnson, the British consul at Antwerp, in whose care the royal steamers have been placed until her Majesty's return from Germany. Shortly after the yacht had anchored, Baron d'Arnon, the Prussian Ministers arrived, and the Queen retired from the deck into the state saloon, where dinser was served up. , The river was almost entirely clear of small craft, but those per sons who wished to have a nearer view of the royal vessel than was afforded' from the quays, entered the ferry steam-boat which plies every half hour between the Van Dyke Quay at Antwerp and a little village on the oppo site side, known as the Te:e de Flandres. Immediately atter the Victoria and Albert had taken up her station in the middle of the river, Count d'Hane de Steenhuyse, of the royal household of King Leopold, proceeded on board, in order to congratulate her Majesty, in the name of her royal relative, on her auspicious arrival in this kingdom. As night advanced, the crowds of spectators gradually diminished—a few remain ing to the last moment,-in order apparently to view the illu minations on the landing-place (which were not, however, very brilliant, as the wind was too high and the weather too rainy), or the brilliant lights in the state cabin of the yacht, and fore and aft About eleven the last light in the above apartment was extinguished. The Black Eagle steamer arrived in front of the town about ten minutes after the Victoria and Albert. About six the next morning, a considerable number of spectators had again assembled on the Van Dyke Quay, and two or three carriages belonging to their Belgian Majesties shortly afterwards made their appear ance. A company of grenadiers and a military band were stationed near the landing-place as a guard of honour ; and about a quarter to seven the Queen and Prince Albert earns. on shore, amidst a royal salute and the cheering of the crew of the yacht and of the three other steamers (who manned the yards). as well as of the spectators on shore. Both her Majesty and his Royal Highness looked remarkably well. The royal visitors and their suite proceeded in their carriages down the Canal au Beurre, the Vieille Marche au Ble, the Place Verte, and the Meir, to the railw a y st at i on , w h ere th e y were rece i ve d with the usual honours, and where the royal train (a magnifi cent one) was wanting to convey them to Malines, the central point of the Belgium Railway, and the one selected for the in terview between Queen Victoria and their Belgian Majesties. As previously arranged, the King arid Queen of the. Bel gians, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Brabant and the Count or Flanders, left, Brussels at seven in the morning for the above-named town. They were accom panied by Count D'Arschot, General Goblet, the Paroness Stassart, and M. Van tie Weyer, the new Minister of the In. terior. Their Majesties awaited the arrival of their august visitor in the large sitting-room of the station, which was very lastefinly decorated. Detachments of the :id Lancers formed the guard of honour. The whole ot the Belgian Royal Family accompanied the Queen to Veryters in the train, and then returned to the Palace of Laken, at Brussels. Her Majesty and Prince Albert then proceeded on their journey through Louvain, Tirlemont, St. Fronde, Warrenne, to Liege, the Birmingham of Germany, which they reached shortly before twelve o'clock. They were received at Liege by a party of Belgian infantry, drawn up along the line, the band ot which stru k up " God save the Queen " as soon as the train came in sight. All these towns were gaily decorated with flags. THE PREPARATIONS AT BONN. During the whole of yesterday and to-day the bustle of pre paration has rendered the quiet little city of Bonn one scene of hurry and confusion, the difficulty of procuring accommodation being hourly increased, and the demands of our German kins folk rising in proportion. There are comparatively few Eng lish here. For the las' week the weather has bete, extremely cold and wet, but this morning the sun shone brightly forth, and displayed the city in ail its glory, every house being deco rated with flags and streamers, anti the hotels, town-hall, anti the principal buildings festooned in front with laurels and myrtie. To a stranger the effect is extremely picturesque and pleas ing, the city being built after the most approved German mo del, in which every house rivals its neighbour in the quanitness of its architectural decorations, pointed gables, projecting will dows, and gilded vanes and pinnacles meeting t e eye at every turn. Beethoven's name is in every mouth, and his picture, in almost every instance crowned with laurel wreaths, meets you in every window. The statue is still covered up, and the work men are busily engaged in constructing seats around it in the Milniter-plats, for the accommodation of the spectators. The rehearsals have been going on since Thursday, two each day, arid the last took place this morning in the Hall of Beethoven, as the new concert hall has been termed. The hall is situate near the Cologne entrance to the town, and is capable of containing about 4,000 persons. It is constructed entirely of wood, and has been finished in the short space ot eleven days, the workmen being employed day and night. The cost has been about 1,3001. '1 he interior has been very hand somely fitted up. The tickets for the concerts have all been long since dispos.ed of, and as the committee have determined not to issue more than the hall will conveniently accommo date, they are new at a high premium. A change has been made in the programme of the pet formances, under the impression that their Majesties the King and Queen of Prussia and the Queen of England will be present on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first grand concert will take place in the evening, at six o'clock, and to-morrow will be devoted to the baptising a new steamer, to be called the Beethoven, and the principal musical performers will make an excursion in her to Nonnenwerih, a beautiful island near the Seven Mournains. On Tuesday, there will he a solemn high mass in the Munster-Kirehe, and a grand concert, at which it is understood their Majesties will be present; and on Wednesday the inauguration will take place, and the festivities will close with a grand ball. Must of the leading singers and performers who are to take part in the festival have already arrived. Spohr, who divides the honour of conducting the concerts with Liszt, is the great lion here. There has been no announcement of the names of the leading artistes, as' is usual in England, and the published programme does not give even the names of all the works of Beethoven which are to be performed. The prima donna i. Madame Tusesek, of Vienna, assisted by Madame Sachs and M. Schloss. We have also Mantissa, of Berlin, a celebrated tenor, with Staudigl and Bolticher ; Felicien David has also arrived, and Moschellss, Madame Dulcaeri, Sir George Smart, Ganz, Breitenbach, J. Oury, with a host of others. The King and Queen of Prussia arrived here to-day, at two o'clock, and his Maje-ty, after giving audierice to the authorities at the Tronhouse, reviewed a regiment of Hulans, in the pre sence of a vast number of spectators, bat the rain which set in again about three .o'clock terminated rather abruptly the military spectacle. Their Majesties 'will sleep to-night at Ilruhl, and to-morrow proceed to Aix-la-Chapelle via Cologne. The Earl of Westmoreland was here yesterday, en route for Aix-la- Chapelle to meet her ),lajesty, about whose movements we are still without any precise itiforma ion. THE PREPARATIONS AT AIX-LA-CHAPELLE. We copy the following from the evening edition of the Brussels Observateur of Monday : " Our' letters from Aix-la-Chapelle, dated the 9th of August, say— " • Yesterday evening the President of the Regency re ceived official information of the intended arrival of the King of Prussia and the Queen of England at Aix-la-Chapelle.
