This alludes to the Emanci pation Bill, when they were betrayed by the Minister whom high Orangemen delighted to call the " traitor Judas." We hale then a long list of grievances which they impute still to tha obnoxious personage. Among others the grant to Ma3'nouth, the national system of education, the refusal of PEEL to grant public money for the education of the children of the Protestant poor, the Academies Bill, the dis missal of loyal Protestant magistrates, and ale encourage ment of the " bold and the bad." Such are the epithets ap plied by Lord RODEN to seven millions of his fellow-subjects. "In fact," exclaims the persecuted Orangeman, "we are compelled to the startling conclusion by manifold proofs. that the policy of the Minister is to attempt to govern Ire land by the Roman Catholic party, and canna but appre hend that heavier blows and greater discouregflnents are still in store for us." In other words--"MELnomucE scourged us with whips, but PEEL scourges us with scorpions." It i s gratifying to find, however, that punishment has not been inflicted without good results. There is no recommendation to restore the old dangerous and treasonable Orange Club, but there is au injunction to remain united,.and give their principles effect, not in secret conclaves, but in the arena of the House of Commons. It L, in fact, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S own recipe—Register, register —a fair and legitimate mode of serving their ends, and to which no other party can rea sonably object. Let Lord RODEN adhere to this scheme for protecting Protestant interests, leave off the rabid abuse of his neighbours, and the insolent vanity of claiming all loyalty, all true religion, and all merit to himself and col leagues, and then he will find even those who oppose him ready to meet him on fair terms, and not a few of them go along with him in support of the Protestant faith. Madrid journals of the 14th state that the Cortes will be summoned to meet in December, for the purpose of receiving the Budget and hearing the Finance Minister's details of the working of the new system of taxation. The accounts from the provinces were favourable, and the capital remained tran quil. Despotism, it appears, suits the Spanish taste better than liberty. Accounts from Paris announce a great fall in the funds and shares on Monday. A sort of panic, in fact, had taken place at the commencement of business, which was rather moderated towards the close, but still everything was flat, and prices were greatly depressed, as compared with those of Saturday and the whole of the preceding week. Every one offered to sell, and scarcely a buyer was to be found. The Three per Cents. closed at 50c. and the Fives 40c. lower than on Saturday. The railway shares, espe cially those for important lines, have fallen much more in proportion. The Northern line had suffered most, and in the course of a week had fallen fully 36f. ; and the sub joined at the following rates :—Boulogne and Amiens, 30f. ; Avignon and Marseilles, 25f. ; Rouen and Havre, 22f. 50e. ; Orleans and Bourdeaux, 20f.; and Rouen nearly 191. From the excitement that prevailed still lower prices were anticipated. No political cause is assigned by the papers generally, though one of them seems to infer that the retirement of Marshal SOULT may have had some effect. The principal causes seem to be the fall in the English funds, and the notice of the Bank of England for raising the rate of discount. Relative to the anticipated re signation of SOULT, the Presse says :—"lf we are rightly in formed, all the earnest representations made yester day, in the Council of Ministers, to Marshal the Duke DE DALMATIE, could not prevail upon him to re nounce a resolution that he laid before it, to retire and devote himself exclusively to the care of his health. His col leagues are said to have ineffectually urged him to retain at least the Presidency of the Council, giving over to a succes sor in the Ministry of War the burden of that department. The Marshal, however, persisted in declaring that he had amply paid his debt of duty to his country, and acquired a right to repose for the rest of his days. However incon testable the grounds of this answer may be, the Cabinet has not yet lost all hope of retaining its illustrious Presi dent." The difficulty of finding a successor has been in creased by the late strange conduct of Marshal BUGEAUD, who was said to be destined for the situation, and who, ac cording to the National, continues as unmanageable as ever. "It is affirmed," says that journal, " that Marshal Bu- GEAUD has addressed to the Cabinet, before his departure from Marseilles, a note relative to the disavowal of his letter to the Prefect of the Dordogne, and to the instructions which have been sent him as to the conduct he is to pursue in Algeria. This note is not less haughty than his famous letter, loth in substance and shape. He insists, above all, with much irony upon the impossibility of pursuing and capturing AHD-EL-KADEN as the Ministry instructed him to do, with the view of escaping before the Chambers the heavy responsibility they have assumed by the treaty of Tangiers. As for capturing Ann-EL-KADAR, he acknowledges that so important a capture would create in France a prodigious sensation; that it would confer great weight on the Cabinet, and enable it victoriously to answer such as will reproach it with the deplorable consequences of the treaty of Tangiers; but to dream at this moment of capturing ARD-EL-KADER, and of an expedition into Morocco until he be overtaken and destroyed, one must never have set one's foot in Algeria, and not have the slightest notion of the country. Marshal BUGEAUD has, it is said, displayed the utmost verve, and the utmost irony in this part of his dispatches. In communicating it to the Council, M. GUIZOT maintained all his composure, but M. CUNIN GRIDAINE, whose indiscre tion has disclosed the details we have published, said that the hearing M. BUGEAUD'S letter read had made bim perspire !' In truth, M. BUGEAUD has treated the Illinistr3 with great disdain, and so far from having removed some of the odium caused by his confidential epistle, he has but aggravated it, by a manifestation more familiar, it is true, but more direct and scornful.

This last exploit beats completely that y which he surprised the Queen of ENGLAND, no less than 1 isloyal subjects at St. Petersburgh. But the other day he was on the shores of the Black Sea, and by this time probably, be has surprised the EMPRESS by his sudden ap pearance in Italy. The following letters from Sebastopol and Milan, leave no doubt of this new freak SEBASTOPOL, SEPT. 26.--The Emperor of Russia arrived in this town by sea, on his way from Nicolaief. in this latter town eleven ships or war were launched in his presence. He afterwards paid s visit to the Rosklaff ship of war of 84 guns, which he ex amin.d minutely. The following day a frigate called the Kovarna, and a brig of war called the Orpheus, were launched in his pre sence. In these two days thirteen ships of war were thus added to the Russian navy in the Black Sea. The greatest activity is ob served in all the arsenals at Sebastopol. The Emperor had an in terview with Prince Woronzoff before leaving Sebastopol. The Emperor has given up his intended voyage to Moscow, and goes from I are by Karkef, Kief, and Cracow, to join the Empress in Italy. The Emperor has published an ukase appointing the Here. ditary Grand Duke regent in his absence. Count Nesselrode ac companies the Emperor on his journey, and will remain in Italy till the end of the year." " MILAN, OCT. 14.—1 t has been already stated that the Empress of Russia was expected here to day. We have just learned that she will probably be accompanied by the Emperor himself. This news will no doubt astonish you ; fur, according to the latest ad. vice, his Majesty was on the shares of the Black Sea, where he had ordered Prince de Woronzoff to meet him. It appears that the journey of the Emperor has been as rapid as that which he made in his visit to London. He studiously avoided Vienna, and would not, it is said, pass through Prague, where is the Archduke Stephen, Governor of Bohemia, who declined, as is well known, the honour of entering the Imperial family of Russia, by refusing to marry the Grand Duchess Olga, an alliance which the Emperor desired so ardently. His coming to the Empress, however unexpected it might be, has probably surprised neither the Empress nor the persons of her suite, fat these sudden visits of the Emperor are not un usual. He sometimes even comes in disguise, and has himself, as a courtier, handed a letter to the Empress. He has assumed the dress of a private brigadier of gendarmerie, and it is said that once, when the Empress went with her suite to visit the cabin of a military colonist, in a country where she happened to be for the first time, she was "truck with astonishment at beholding under the coarse cloak of r private soldier the Emperor, holding by the hand his two children, also disguised. Hence, when travelling, the Empress, and all the persona who accompany her, are always on their guard. A courier who arrives, a stranger presenting himself suddenly, a clp4cl of dust on the road, give birth to con jectures relative to the Nmperor's arrival, and this continual ex. pectation of surprise causes an anxiety and emotion to every one, which embarrass considerably the courtiers and household of the imperial family of Russia." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " The Debats states tha the French cruisers for the coast of Africa will leave the French ports suocessively for Goree, where Rear-Admiral Montagnes will take the command of the division. "On Saturday Marshal Soult received the visit of all the Ge. nerals and superior officers of the troops in Paris and the ban. Ilene, with General Sebaatiani, commandant of the first division, at their head. " The Minister of the Interior arrived in Paris on Saturday night. " Count Rambuteau, Prefect of the Seine, returned to Paris on Saturday from London, and immediately resumed the exercise of his functions. " A letter from Vienna of the 13th states that the Emperor of Russia had arrived on the previous day in a small village three leagues from Vienna, and proceeded immediately for Inspruck. " We learn by a letter from Berlin, of the 14th, that there Is great scarcity of money in that city, and that the bankers have all raised the rate of discount. "The following is an extract of a letter from Carhruhe, dated the 16th of October M. Rouge, and his colleague, Devial, left here yesterday for Constance. Some of the inhabitants accompa nied him to the railway station, but the enthusiasm in his favour was not very great. The Archbishop of Trybourg, the head of the Catholic party in the Duchy of Baden, still refuses to cele brate mixed marriages, notwithstanding the orders of the Govern ment, if the parties do not agree to bring up the children in the Catholic faith. Steps are to be taken against the Bishop in the course of the approaching session.'

SPEECH OF THE KING OF HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Ocr. 20.—This day, at - onealock, his Majesty the King left the Palace, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Princes, and a brilliant staff. A salute of artillery announced his Majesty's departure. lie was received with every mark of respect and affection by the multitude collected on the way. On arriving at the Palace of the States-General, the King was received by a deputation of the Members of the two Chambers, and introduced into the assembly. Lis Majesty . having placed himself before the throne, delivered the following speech " NOBLE AND MIGHTY LORDS,— " I am happy to be able to announce to you that the general situation of the country continues to present a favour able appearance. " Tice Netherlands have not ceased to maintain arnica isle relations with foreign Powers. " The visit which I have paid to her Majesty the Queen of England will contribute, I hope, to consolidate the good under standing which exists between the two countries and their Governments. For my part, I shall retain the most agree able impression of the welcome which I received on that visit. " Our army and navy continues to merit approbation and commendation for their conduct and good discipline. Our trans-marine possessions enjoy the benefit of the most com plete tranquillity; they feel, at the same time, the salutary influence of the high price of their productions. " The Administration proceeds with order and regularity in the direction of the internal affairs of the country. " The development and improvement of public instruction is an object of constant solicitude. " Notwithstanding the dangers with which we were threatened last winter, by the sudden thaws and the extra ordinary rise of our rivers, our dikes and hydraulic works have been preserved by the goodness of Providence from great disasters. " Besides the continuance of the works for the usual modes of communication by sea and land, the construction :of rail ways is prosecuted with activity, without any charge on the public revenue. "A laudable spirit of enterprise manifests itself more than ever in the execution of important works for draining and embanking. " Commerce and manufactures have given this year satis factory results. " To prevent the misfortune arising from the deficient crop of one of the most important articles of food, measures have already been taken, and in concert with you they will soon be extended. By the aid of those measures, in conjunction with the charitable spirit which characterises the nation, and which has never failed, and by the progressive creation' of works for the employment of the indigent classes, we may hope to obtain an alleviation of the fatal consequences of this ca'amity. The reports which have reached my Govern ment on the crop of some other agricultural productions jus tify this hope. " Use has been made, as far as circumstances would per mit, of the means agreed to for the restoration of our mone tary system. If the legislative measures which the intro duction of the new coinage require, and which will be laid before you with as little delay as possible, be accepted, they may be carried into effect at the beginning of next year. " The operation for reducing the interest of the national debt is drawing to a close. The scrupulous punctuality which has been shown in fulfilling the obligation contracted by the voluntary loan, has especially contributed to the prompt and favourable issue of this important financial ope ration. The nation will reap the greatest advantages from the generous sacrifice which it has imposed on itself to fulfil the engagement of the State. " The constant increase of the public revenue is a great ground of satisfaction. "Two projects of law finally to regulate the expense of the current year, and to determine the means for doing so, will be another proof that the finances are now not only regulated, but in a favourable situation. 1 ‘ The attention of my Government is constantly fixed on the improvement of the excise_laws, as you will see from the presentation of some projects of law on this subject. " The law on the pensions of civil officers, and some others connected with the system adopted on this subject, will be brought forward during the session. The grant of a pecuniary indemnity to those who have suffered by the inundations, ordered by the military engi neers in north Brabant, Zealand, and Limburg, was long de sired, but was, at the same time, of a delicate and difficult nature. I hope that you will be the . more ready to assist in the mode which will -be proposed to you for regu lating this matter, as it appears completely to satisfy those interested, without the necessity of employing extraordi nary means. "Several projects of law for the revisal of the Ist book of the penal code will be presented during the session. In drawing up these projects of law, regard has been bad to the observations communicated to the Government in the last session. " Several other proposals are ready, or soon will be, to bo successively laid before you. I hope that this may be the case with a final project of Jaw on the communal guard, as well as new regulations respecting the charitable institutions and the game-laws. "Projects of law, founded on Article C of the fundamental law, will be laid before you as soon as possible. " Speaking of the fundamental law, and reflecting on what has passed, I cannot refrain from again expressing my opi nion that the revival of the fundamental law, as prescribed by itself, is essentially subordinate to a deep conviction of its necessity. Hitherto no such conviction has been required; but I repeat the assurance that, as soon as it shall be im pressed on my mind, I shall not hesitate to prove it by a proposal to your High Mightinesses. " There is another point on which I would dwell for a moment. " From a circumstance which it is not necessary to recal, the speech with which I opened the last session (contrary to the usage hitherto adopted) was not followed by an ad dress in answer to it. " I would not consider this silence as a motive for refrain ing from coming among you; but this event has led me to make reflections, the result of which I think I ought to com municate to you. " The fundamental law says that the session shall be opened by the King in person, or by his commissioners. It does not say that the States-General shall return an answer to the speech delivered on the occasion. Custom alone has hitherto served as a rule. " I will not examine whether this rife is really in harmony with the principles of our constitution. Neither need I add the assurance that I highly valued the expression of the sen timents of the representatives of the nation; but my convic tion tells me that it would be better that the speech from the throne should not have an answer. "The project of an address in answer to the speech is accompanied with difficulties inherent on the nature of the subject itelf. The discussion, as experience has proved, may give rise without necessity to a diversity of opinion which it is difficult wholly to efface. At the very beginning of the session the examination of the address leads to debates which consumes much valuable time, and at the same time have an unhappy influence on the further course of the session. " You must, however, fully understand my thoughts. By what I have said, I do not mean in any way to restrict or impede the competency, or even the expression of the de sires of your High Mightinesses. I have no other intention than to communicate to you my way of thinking, and to as sure your assembly that your silence will not only meet with no unfavourable interpretation on my part, but, on the con trary, will be fully appreciated by me. "It now only remains for me, on opening this session of the States-General, to implore the Almighty to be pleased to bestow his wisdom on the nation, of which it has ex perienced so many proofs, in order that the legislative power thus seconded in its labours may find the most effectual means, with the aid of Heaven, to avoid all misfortunes from the country, and to increase and consolidate the true prosperity of this kingdom, which is so favoured by the benefits of Providence." The King has appointed Mr. 11. R. Trip President of the States-General. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. —The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the grounds this forenoon.

Payne, concluded an adjourned inquest at the Fleece Tavern, Queen-street, Cheepslde, relative to the death of a new-born male child, which was found on the evening of the 12th inst. at the door of Mr. Alford, No. 9, Itonmonger.lane, one of the churchwardens of St. Martin's, Pomeroy, Cbeapaide. On the re -assembling of the jury yesterday, Sergeant Munday, of the City police, who has the case in hand, stated that 400 bills bad been plaiarded in end around the City by the churchwardens, offering a reward of lOL tbr the discovery of the person who so exposed the body.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern roast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be te the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway_ It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to eiberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. . . It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts.will otain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the easterneoast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of cern, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing- cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee.

After which, SKETCHES IN INDIA. To conclude with THE BOYHOOD OF BACCHUS. fit arnin LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1845. It is gratifying to perceive that hitherto the railway share market for bond fide transactions has sustained itself in a manner not merely to justify the favourable prepossessions of those who have embarked very large investments in it, but to remove the alarms and misgivings of many intelligent lookers on, who had anticipated some serious disorganisation from at tempts that have been made to found disastrous auguries upon the aspect of the commercial world in general, and the recent notice of the Bank of England's intention to raise its rate of interest, especially. In our last paper on this subject we pointed out what we con ceive to be the permanent principles that now impart, and are likely to communicate, stability and safety to rail way speculation. We have already shown that vast as are the ramifications into which it has branched—stupendous as is the capital which it has already absorbed—the wants, the wishes, and the interests of society are a guarantee for the consolidation and expansion both of the one and the other to an extent infinitely more colossal. It would be folly in us to deny that we retain the opinion we have so often proclaimed, that the railway market, in common with every other branch of invested capital, must, at some period or other, participate in that general calamity and dislocation which our monetary system, as established by Sir R. PEEL'S Currency legislation, will inevitably entail upon the country. But—looking to the amount of commercial expe rience and administrative sagacity, as well as of hitherto hoarded capital, now engaged in connexion with railway management, and having regard to the salutary influence of this combination of opulence and talent at no distant day with the Legislature, with the Government, with the Councils of the Crown itself— we are tempted to anticipate a revision and remodelling of those fatal laws, which have so mischievously interfered with the adequate representation of property and the free operation of capital. Now we believe that if those power ful organs for the direction of public opinion, which com mitted so irreparable an error in 1825 and 1826 by the mode in which they exerted all their energies to ex cite, precipitate, and extend the " panic" of that me morable epoch, can be only induced to exhibit more of candour, prudence, and moderation, in their dealing with the march of events, all the engagements and liabilities of the railway market will adjust and arrange themselves with as little displacement and disorganisation as can possibly happen in a sphere of such multitudinous and widely- ex tended operations. The ground of those apprehensions on the part of some of our Contemporaries seems to be, mainly, the number of the new projects of railway communi• cation ; but, lest these misgivings should be found too readily to give way before the tests of unprejudiced inquiry and dis cussion, they have lately provided themselves with another set of apprehensions, which regard the liabilities of a set of men who have but very recently excited their sympathies, namely, the directors and provisional committees of such com panies. As to the number of new undertakings, we can add nothing to the reasons on which we have argued, already, that the experience of the enormous benefits derived from railroads already constructed is an irresistible inducement with com munities that have not yet participated in those ad vantages to secure the future enjoyment of them by the construction of similar works for them selves. Of course in every district and portion of a dis trict where this •want shall be felt, and this determination arrived at to supply it, railroads will continue indefinitely to multiply themselves. As to the liabilities of com mitteemen and directors, those too, beyond all ques tion, are absurdly exaggerated. It seems to be for gotten that the scope and conditions of these rail way adventures have assumed of late years features of entire novelty. The very members of a provisional com mittee list are to some extent on the corporate principle of a joint-stock company or bank : a guarantee to each individual of such body for a very limited amount of responsibility on account of his connexion with it; and, to the public, for the ample responsibility of the whole associated com pany. With regard to liabilities incurred before the formation of companies, and after their formation by pro jectors, managers, and mere subscribers, prior and subse quently to the issue of prospectuses, settlement of regulations, delivery and transfer of shares, &c., &c., these subjects in volve points too numerous and complicated to allow of our discussing them here. But we not only with great confi deuce, but with great pleasure, refer all our readers, whe may be interested, more or less immediately, in these matters, to two well-timed and able little publications, which will afford them, we think, not only amusement and information, but grounds of well-founded and confirmed confidence in the general safety of railway investments. The works we refer to are Mr. GEORGE HENRY LEWIS'S " Liabilities Incurred by the Projectors, Managers, and Shareholders of Railways, &c., Considered ;" and Mr. CHARLES WORDSWORTH'S Com pilation on " Railway Law." These are really valuable con tributions to one of the most important departments of our economic literature. What with the monster repeal meetings in the south o Ireland, and the manifestoes of the Orangemen in the north, the Government of Sir R. PEEL, must find no little difficulty in preserving anything like impartial dealing between the two factions. The Premier, however, is fortunate in his choice of a Lord-Lieutenant, who is a man not likely to be swayed either by abuse or flattery, who has had much ex perience in settling the disputes of contending parties in foreign states, and who can bear a great many bard words without reply or even suffering his temper to be ruffled. Such a patient disposition is much wanted at the present time, for abuse is heaped either upon him or his employers almost without intermission, and it is a curious fact that of the two accusing bodies the most violent by far is that repre sented by the mild, religious, and Protestant Earl of RODEN. He has just issued a proclamation to the Protestants of the British empire, which though not so violent in its language, far surpasses any document of the kind ever issued by Mr. O'CONNELL in regard to the grievous charges made against Sir ROBERT PEEL. From beginning to end it is one continued theme of abuse, with perhaps the exception of episodes setting forth pie loyalty of that Orange body, which, under its distinguished patron, during the last reign had been all but convicted of high treason. The Noble Earl recounts with evident sorrow the support given to PEEL at the elections which turned out the Whigs. "There were indeed," says he, "misgivings among some sagacious observers of events ; but the greater c 1845. AlO Y and , NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were rather limited, and did not exceed 1,000 bales. The market was quiet and prices were steady. The Share Market was very heavy, and prices in some instances much lower. The Times may take credit for its advice to the public not to engage in speculative railway schemes ; and the advice is really goal. And so have we, under this head, done the same on many occasions before our Morning Contemporary took up the question. But there is a point which the " City Correspondent" of the Times puts forward, to the prejudice of an extension of the railways, which is not warranted by facts. The deposits upon allotments already closed hare been made, and without question the caution-money, as the term is, is ready for handieg over to the Accountant-General upon nineteen out of every twenty of the projects started some time back. To assume that the private and joint-stock banks have been recklessly advancing money upon scrips deposited with them, and that, when pay-day comes, there will be difficulties, is a position which will not be realised. As the deposits upon the principal companies for new railways that, are likely to pass the standing orders are already made,', it is not anticipated that any other severe • pressure upon the Money Market will be expe rienced than which may, to a limited extent, be said to be felt now. The letter of Mr. Charles Pearson to the Chair man of the Committee of City Lands on the sub ject, and in approval of termini being formed for the Direct Manchester and the London and Birming ham Railways, in Farringdon-street, and which appeared in The Sun of last evening, has been a subject of very general conve sation in " City circles" this morning. Mr. Pearson most truly and correctly asks those connected with the Corporation to "look at home," and improve, by all means is their power, the interests of those who gave them power and influence, whether as Aldermen or Common Coun cilmen, and not be so lavish in lending their names to ad vance railway and other schemes, which, in many instances, if carried out, must tend to damage the interests "of the City of London and the trade thereof." The admonition of the "City Solicitor" is considered by most reflective people to be exceedingly well timed. There are Graham's Town papers, at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning, to the 25th August last. The Kafirs continue their depradations upon farmers, and a general meeting had been held, at which resolutions were passed, claiming further protection from the Government. It ought to be mentioned that the chief of the Kafir tribe com pelled restitution to be made when the robbers were traced, or the cattle, &c., identified. The markets in Graham's Town were brisk. The Cousol Market has been rather firm to-day. Money stock is less plentifu, and the Bear party apparently indis posed to operate further. Consols for Money have ruled from 97 IA to 97%, and for the Account from 97% to 97%. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been rather steady at 425. to 455., and India Bonds have advanced to 595. premium. The Reduced Three-per-Cents. have rallied a fraction. Bank Stock has advanced from 205 1 to 207, and the Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 98% to 98%. In the Foreign Stocks the transactions continue to be very trifling. Spanish Stock has fallen from 261$ to 25 3 / 4 for the Actives, and the Deferred to 15 3 / 4 . Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 56i %, and have since receded to 58. Old Portuguese are quoted at 51. Mexican met with a heavy sale at 31%; and the Equador Stock, at 41. Great caution is shown in the Railway Share market in entertaining bargains in any but the best shares or scrips. All doubtful projects will soon be at zero. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

THE POTATO DISEASE. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL I 11 PROVETUFTNYWOCI ETY OF IRELAND. SPECIAL JtE,ETINO OF TILE COUNCIL. _ _ SAT U RDA Y, OCT. 18. —Present— Mr. G nstaßtis - Lainbart, of Beau Park, in the chair; Mr. John Ross Mahon, Mr. Jol:a Sharman Crawford, Mr. John Bolton Massy, 311.. Thoin,i4 Butler, Mr. Francis Donagh, Mr. George Roe, Mr. J. Bankhead, Sir Percy Nugent., Bart. ; Mr. William Owen, Dr. Robert Kane, Mr. Thomas R. Hardy, Mr. William Sherraro, Mr. Charles William Hamilton, and Thos. Hutton, member of the Council; Mr. John Temple Reilly, Mr. John Sproule, Mr. Hugh Ferguson, V.S. ; and Mr. Toler Osborne. Member-4 of the Society. Professor KANE, Chairman or the Sub-Committee for in quiring into the state of the potato crop, reported that tiel Committee bad sat . for the last two days, and carefuliy examined all the information as yet received upon the sill— jeet. They were not prepared to state anything detinitivt-ly upon so difficult and momentous a quest ion ; but they had instituted the following series of experiments, for the pur pose of obtaining the most accurate information on the matter, viz.:— 1. That the diseased potatoes should be well spnnkled with salt., in layers, for the purpose of preserving them. 2. Ditto, with lime in a powdered state. 3. Ditto, with chloride of lime. 4. That they should be dried by artificial heat. 5. That they should be subjected to a scalding process, by dipping them in boiling water, &c. 6. That an etlbrt should be made to save the meal, by cutting away the tainted parts, and drying and crushing the sound portion of the potato into meal. 7. To cover up a portion closely with loose clay or sand. &c., as to exclude air and moisture. 8: Ditto, with loose straw in a dry place, to produce a similar effect. The sub-committee had undertaken to institute the above series of experiments at the Dublin Society, under the immediate directions of Professor Kane and Mr. liuttoo, and other gentlemen had undertaken to supply them with a sufficient quantity of the diseased potatoes for ti,e purpose of the investigation, to which place they are to be sent. It was also agreed that similar experiments should be in stituted in ditlerent parts of the country, and that the result 4 should be communicated to the secretary as soon as ascer tained. The Committee also reported that on mature consideration of the evidence now before them, it was advisable that tho countil should direct the attention of the Irish Governmenr to the now undoubted fact that a great portion of the potato crop in this country is seriously affected by the disease in question. The Secretary read a letter from Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, M.P., on the subject. Mr. BULLEN said that, in anticipation of Mr. Hamilton's; suggestion, he had carefully prepared a digest of the com munications already received upon the subject, and which. he had laid upon the table. It appeared that returns had been received from about 40 local societies, in most of which the disease existed more or less; for though it was stated in some which he had received at an early period that there was no appearance of the malady at that time in the district, yet in some cases he had received supplemental returns stating, that since they had begun to dig the crops, the dis ease had appeared, and at present there was hardly a county in Ireland which could be considered free from it. The re turns also contained much useful and valuable information as to the extent and nature of it, which he had abstracted, amt condensed in the digest on the table, in the manner suggested. The secretary also read a letter from the Messrs. Pardon, proprietors of the Farmers Cazette, Bachelor's-walk, accom panying some specimens of diseased turnips, which were af fected in a similar manner, and also the following letter from the secretary of the Board of Trade, London, enclos ing a copy of a report of a special Commission at Grouii , - gen, in Holland, appointed to inquire into the disea,o in that quarter, and which appeared to be exactly simii: r to that which now affected the potato crops in th:4 country : "thlice ofConunittee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, Sept. 29, 181,3" . _ . " Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee f Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you, for the infornu4- tion of the Irish Agricultural Society, the enclosed transln latton of a special report of the Committee of Agriculture f the Province of Groningen, 'relative to the potato disease Rolland.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedt. servant. "J. MACG EGOit . " E. Bulleu, Lsq., Secretary of the Irish Agricultural Society. "REPORT OF THE COMMISSION OF AGRICULTURE OF Tllrs: PROVINCE OF GRONINGEN ON TILE DISEASE AFFECTING Tit 41 POTATO IN THE NETHERLANDS._ (The first part of the report relates to the causes and net tr-e of the disease. Wet weather is ettributed as the ma cause, and the nature of the disease is so well known it is needless to describe it.) " 2. - nEmr.DIEs volt THE DISEASE. a To leave the potatoes in the ground until very d r y wea ther occurs. Experiments having shown that their decay is accelerated by being taken up, it is advisable to leave there in the ground at first in order to get dried, and afterwards t lay them out over the field. This would have the doull'e advantage of rendering the vegetable more wholesome, an I of preserving it. "The following applies especially to those potatoes to i.e used as seed for next year. It is necessary to beware ( f planting those plants which have been attacked by the dis ease. They must be carefully chosen from those whose stalks have not been attacked, and placed in a situation free front the slightest damp. As the disease has been less severe iit gravelly than in clayey soils, the tubers should be chosen from these gravelly soils where the disease has not pent.. trated. "3. The withered leaves of diseased potatoes, which are nf: no value, should be immediately burnt; the same should be done with the rotten potatoes, which cannot be of any Nothing should remain of them. "4. It is necessary to avoid as much as possible planft-s; potatoes in the same spots where they have been planted tl is year, for it is most probable that seeds of the fungi have tc mained in these places, and there would be great risk of tl.e ensuing crop being similarly attacked. It is also necessfu to manure the land with lime after the potatoes have bei . a. taken up, and then to clear it, and if the land be employs-. 1 for produce which need not be planted before winter, it is better not to harrow it, and so allow the air and cold to penetrate it. In the spring the lime manure should be renewed as much as possible, and the land may be wateri..t with diluted sulphuric acid, on part of sulphur to 100 of water. " 5. Next year the potatoes should be planted in dry land; all damp places should be avoided, even places shaded by houses or trees. It is once more repeated that great est should be used in selecting the tubers, and they should ► e planted at a little distance from each other, so that the earl round each plant may be raised, that the air may penetrate everywhere. " 6. The commission does not agree with those naturalists who think that the origin of the disease may be attribute to the race of potatoes having gradually deteriorated, owing to their being seldom reproduced in fresh soil. The repo c mentions that in the Commune of the Marum (province ol' Groningen), among other instances, is to be seen a field (47 potatoes, the produce of only three years' culture, equally attacked by the disease ; and an infinite number of similar cases prove incontestibly that the potato has not degene rated. However, the commission recommends that freA seed should be employed this year ; for it will then, at arty rate be certain that it has not been attacked by this scourge. "8. If, notwithstanding every effort, the disease siren] l again break out next year, the moment the first symptomi of it are perceived, the first leaves that turn yellow shoull be taken off and burnt, or the entire field should be waterea towards evening with lime water, or, still better, with dilute,' sulphuric acid, so as to destroy the seeds of the cryptogamous fungi; sulphuric acid, moreover, prevents rutting; and when prepared as above directed, can do no injury to the plants themselves. a•--USE TO BE MADE OF THE DISEASED POTATOES. "Those potatoes which have been attacked by the disease appear not to be prejudicial to health, when taken in mode rate quantities. The commission has consulted veterinary. surgeons as to whether the potatoes can be employed, with out danger, to feed cattle. Their reply was in the affirma tive. It has been proved, moreover, that pigs have eaten the diseased potatoes without death ensuing. The commis sion is, however, of opinion, that they should be cooked has forehand. " Man may likewise make use of the diseased potatoes, but must carefully remove the brown spots which caused the disease. It has also been shown byexperiments that potatoes which have remained untainted on the same plant where there are spoiled tubers may be eaten without hesitation. It is almost useless to remark that potatoes which are completely rotten are hurtful not only to man but to cattle, and too fre quent use of spoiled potatoes is equally dangerous to these who make their sole food of them. Dr. Westerhoffremarktl, that in the commune of Warffum (province of Groningen), those persons who made use of spoiled potatoes experience d pains in the stomach and nausea, followed by vomiting, after eating them. "It has also been perceived that sheep have been made severely ill by eating attacked potatoes though they were soon cured by a change of food.", "As to the means to be employed to prevent the benefit influence that may be exerted on the health ofsnan by eating the diseased potatoes, the Commissio n p ro p oses to make th is the subject of another inluiry. In the meantime, it advises that as much use as possible should be made of the feenla ~s potatoes." - - PORTRAIT OF EARL PEhCER.—We have been f:t youred with a view of a beautiful medallion portrait t f honest Lord Althorp," which has been recently publish:l.l by Freebairn. The engraving has. been made b'y Freebaint (by means of Bates's patent Anaglyptograph), from the on gloat model for the medal by Wyon. It is dedicated to tl.e Agricultural Society and the Smithfield Club. The likm;est is excellent—not a mere lifeless fac-simile of the features-- but a characteristic portrait, mirroring, as it were, the mint.
