The object of this undertaking is to form a direct communication between the important town and port of Carmarthen, the northern parts of the county, and Cardiganshire, with the rich mineral die- Vida in the south and east of Carmarthenshire. The projected line will join the South Wales, Welsh Midland, Car marthen and Cardigan, and Great North and South Wales Railways at Carmarthen. It will be connected at the Great Motentain with the Llanelly Railway already constructed to the Cross Hands, and a branch will extend into the Gwendraeth Vale to the Colebrook ironworks, there joining the Kidwelly Canal. It will thus unite several important railways and other means of communication, and afford ready transit for the supply of coal and lime to very extensive districts, the costs of conveying which will be less than the toll pay able on the present roads. The southern terminus of the Great North and South Wales Rail way is at Carmarthen, and no provision is made by the promoters for any communication by it with the coal and lime fields. These pro ducts, before they are conveyed from Carmarthen, must first be brought to that town. The South Wales and Welsh Midland Railway; describe a consider able circuit in communicating, even in an indirect manner, with the heart of the mineral districts. The distance from Carmarthen by each of these lines to the Great Meuntain will be about twenty-flee miles ; the distance by the line now proposed will not exceed twelve. It is therefore evident that the immense traffic in coal and lime between Carmarthen and the mineral districts must be carried on by the intended railway. The line will follow the Vale of Towy as far as Cappeldewy, and then diverge, by way of Porthyrhyd and the Illansell's Arms, to the coal districts. The branch into the Gwen draeth Vale will be two miles long, which, with the trunk line, will snake the whole length to be constructed fourteen miles. In consequence of the peculiar features of the country, the pro d lice can meet with opposition from no other scheme, as the bold shain of hills running from east to west to the south of the Towy are quite impracticable at all other points between Llandilo and the sea, a distance of twenty-live miles. This line will follow the only valley intersecting the hills, which presents the most striking facilities for constructing a railway along it, as none of the gradients will exceed 1 in 100, and there will be no occasion for any tunnelling. The capital required will be 140,0001. CalCulationa have been made of the tonnage carried along the pre sent road's, and an ample remuneration for the capital invested would be secured even without increased traffic. The South Wales, Welsh Midland, Carmarthen and Cardigan, and Great North and South Wales Railways radiate from Car marthen to the west, north, and east of the county; and the latter lines will open communication with the whole of Car diganshire. All these extensive districts are now mainly supplied with coal aid lime from the vicinity of Carmarthen. The traffic in these staple commodities is at present very consider able: ail many as 1,000 tons of lime have passed in one day through a single gate on one of the great thoroughfares into Carmarthen. With the facility of conveyance afforded by railways, added to the large extent of country which will be opened by means of the lines alluded to, this traffic will be immensely increased. • The project was first mooted about ten years ago. A meeting was held at Carmarthen, attended by a large and influential body of gentry, landoWners, and merchants. Resolutions were then unani mously adopted approving of the scheme, pointing out its advantages to the country and its value as a safe investment. Surveys of the line were afterwards made, which proved that the gradients were easy, and that the country was free from engineering difficulties. Some objections, however, arose, which led to the temporary aban donment of the undertaking ; these cannot again occur. A large body if influential persons have already signified their appro bation of the scheme. It will meet with the strenuous support of all the mineral interests in the localities referred to ; and the authori ties, merchants, and influential residents of Carmarthen, will afford every support to carry out an undertaking so beneficial to the inte rests of the town and neighbourhood. The Earl of Cawdor and the other principal landowners on the pro posed line have been consulted, and their consents and approbation have been obtained. The corporation of Carmarthen has just had a careful survey of the river matte by an engineer of high standing, with a view of effecting material improvements in its navigation It appears suf ficiently evident that, with the outlay of a comparatively small plyinealf tfioeciligiterStirwernet "ftViliVrolrini`ihMersols to avoid the intermediate shoals and sinuosities, all difficulty to its free navigation will be removed, and with this facility a very large report trade will be insured in coal, iron, and other produce of the country. These improvements (since the prospectus of this Company was first Issued) have been undertaken by the North and South Wales Railway Company, who have pledged themselves to an effec tual oonstruction of the necessary works. Feelingly alive to the inte rests of the trade of the town and to the wishes of the corporation, the Committee of Management have gladly acceded to this arrange ment, whereby the objects of all parties will be secured. To the promoters of this Company this result is highly satisfactory, as by these means a considerable outlay of their funds will be avoided. Extensive ironworks are now in operation in the Gwendraeth Vale, anti others on a large scale are about to be erected in therVale of Ammon. The stores of coal and lime are inexhaustible : several Important collieries have been lately opened, and are now ready to pour their teeming wealth into tire market, but a want of commu nication with the distant districts of this and the adjoining counties prevents the proprietors reaping the fruit of their enterprise. The line now proposed, forming a junction at Carmarthen with the great trunk lines, will afford the accommodation so much desired Preparations have been made so as to insure eomplianee with the standing orders in time to apply for an Act in the ensuing Session. The gauge to be adopted will depend upon the report of the Govern ment Commissioners. In order that every attention may be secured to local interests, arrangements are now being made to add the names of other gentle men of influence and property in the county to the provisional com mittee. The liability of the shareholders until the act is obtained will be limited to the amount of deposits, and after incorporation to the amount of their subscriptions. A preference will be given to the hoidens of shares in the South Wales, Welsh Midland, and Great North and South Wales Railway Companies. Power will be tarn in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all Deposits and Calls thie the time otpayment until the opening of the line.

But the dvf -nit of Trafalgar-square exhibit their culminating en , ilwty in the still unfinished monument to the ill-requited but illus trious saviour of his country, the immortal NELSON—to that sublime genius, and that undaunted spirit, which pur sued the naval power of the most victorious enemy we had ever coped with, over every sea, to every shore of the habit able world in which the standard - of France was successively unfurled, in flight 8r in aggression, and broke and triumphed over all its might and all its valiant resistance ; —to him whose crowning victory rescued this mighty kingdom from becoming a mere province of that universal empire, which, but fur this over throw of the combined fleets of France and Spain, the stupendous ambition of NAPOLEON would have achieved and established. But these are not times when either the aspect of our foreign relations, er the relative power and state of preparation in which foreign powers are maintaining their forces—especially their maritime service—will tolerate any longer any indig nity to the memory of that great man, whose renowned name alone will'yet act as a spirit-stirring spell, a trumpet tongued inspiration to the navy of Great Britain, under all circumstances and in every exigency. The common sailors will rush into action, whenever the fatal necessity for action shall arrive, with the indelible name of "Nelson " engraven on their memory, as the undaunted and affectionate com mander who led their fathers and their brothers into every engagement with the assured confidence of victory, and the irresistible determination to distinguish themselves. The young officer and the veteran commander will be animated by the same impulses, heightened by reminiscences of the tena cious ;generosity with which this illustrious Chieftain—far from coldly discouraging the just demands of his brothers in arms for distinctions in proportion to his own rewards — warmly, importunately, fervently pressed, even to his own prejudice and the incurring official rebuke, on the reluctant attention of Lords of the Admiralty, Prime Ministers, and even the SOVEREIGN, the ample rewards and honours due to those whom his heroic affection always designated as forming, with himself, " a band of brothers." Let this signal reflection on the national gratitude, on its sense of true glory, its sense even of its own political interests, be instantly effaced, we say, by the completion of the "Nelson" memorial. And since Chan cellors of the Exchequer, and First Lords and First Commis sioners seem inaccessible to anything like kindred emotions of sympathy in that feeling which first prompted, among private or professional "individuals," its erection, let all the great communities of the kingdom repair the evil by furnishing the supplies vainly demanded of the Government. The spirited little town of Greenwich, dignified as the locality of the noblest home and retirement which public gratitude. has .yet provided in this country for our decayed sailors, has set an admirable example, that may be instantly and efficiently followed by every other town in Great Britain. It has originated a penny subscription among its 14,000 in habitants. A penny subscription among the millions of our large marts of manufacturing, and even agricultural and com mercial industry, would realise ample funds for the comple tion of this monument and the erection of another, which, in point of grandeur, extent, utility, and beauty, might put to shame all that the Legislature has yet decreed er the Execu tive erected, .to So honour to the greatest hero of all naval story ! has taken place between Baron DE BOURQUENEY, the French Ambassador at Constantinople, and the Ottoman Porte, rela tive to the murder of a French Missionary in the Lebanon. Some English correspondents from that quarter had stated, that the French Consul at Bey - rout had demanded that the person chiefly implicated in the death of the priest should be put to death without trial—a demand not at all likely to be made by the representative of a Constitutional Government. The account given in the Constitutionnel is very different-- we are inclined to think more near the truth. "We shall give," says that paper, " the following extract of a letter from Father FRANCOIS DE PLOUGHE, prefect of the Cupucins of Syria, written on the 10th of last June, in which are de • tails of the death of Father CHARLES DE LORETTE. His character is a sufficient guarantee for the truth of the recitals this letter contains ;---' A chief, named HAMMED ABER MACHAT, came with his followers and attacked our convent, in which was Father CHARLES DE LottErrE. At the sight of these barbarians the missionary fled, but was pursued, overtaken, and cut down by the sabre with des perate wounds on the head and shoulders, and being finished with musket shots, and his body torn open and burnt after taking out the entrails.' Our agent at Beyrout demanded of the Turkish authorities-Ist, that the chief author of this act of barbarity should be brought to trial, and, secondly, that the tribunal called upon to try him should present guarantees for the justice of its judgments, which are not to be ordinarily found in the Turkish magistracy. The issue of this affair has proved that our Consul has had good reason for not relying upon the impartiality of the judges of Beyrout. The details contained in the letter of Father Froacurs DE PLOUGHS above cited show that the murder of Father CHARLES was not an accident of war, that the sufferer was a French subject, and therefore that our Consul had an incontestible right to interfere in the process against his murderer." The Presse gives nearly the same account, and according to that paper, no arrangement had been come to, and the state of affairs in the Lebanon was daily growing worse, chiefly owing to the despotic conduct of the Turkish PACHA, and his partiality to the Druses :—" The mission of CHEKIB EFFENDI, which was represented as one alto gether of conciliation, cannot fail to bring forth new disturb ances. It is now averred that the Ottoman Plenipotentiary has taken under his protection the man whom public rumour had designated as the murderer of Father CHanuts, and that he does not intend granting any of the indemnities claimed by France for the tw• convents burnt down during the civil war. But that is not all. We learn that, at the date of the 11th, CHEKIB EFFENDI was preparing to attack the Libanus, in order to effect the disarming of the moun taineers. The foreigners established in the mountain, sum moned by him to quit it, refused to comply with this injunction if their property was not guaranteed. This de mand, supported by thd Consul, was at first favourably re ceived by CIIEKIB EFFENDI, but soon after he objected that the guarantees ought to be given by the Porte, and not by him. The Europeans then declared that they would remain in the mountain ; that CHEKIB EFFENDI was free to act as seemed fit to him, but that they reserved to themselves the right of making good their rights. Such was the state of matters when the last account left." The following appears in the Constitutionnel, relative to the precarious position of French residents in Mexico:— " The French naval station in the Gulph of Mexico has (says the Constitutionnel) at this time only two twenty.gun ships, LA Perouse and Le Mercure—a force far from sufficient to command respect. The number of French in Mexico, according to a census taken in 1835, exceeds 12,000 persons, established chiefly in the towns of Mexico, Vera Crux, Xalapa, Puebla, Acapulco, Orizaba, Santa Fe, Zacatecas, Campeachy, Tabasco, and Tam , pico. M. de Ciprey, on quitting Mexico, left his fellow.coun trymen under the protection of the Spanish Chargé d'Affaires, who has at his disposal only a Spanish sloop of war. With the well. known character of the Mexicans, the situation of the French may be well conceived to be precarious, in a country whose in. habitanfis bear an inveterate hatred to foreigners, although they are the sources of all its commerce and industry." The vast extent of the British possessions in India, their wealth, population, and growing power, as well as their supply of native productions to this country, and the con sumption of articles of British manufacture, must place them in the highest rank among all our foreign possessions. Indeed, England, so famed for her system of colonisation, and so successful, especially during the last two cen turies, in establishing her sans in almost every clime of the habitable globe, can boast of nothing at all to be compared with her dominion in India. It is altogether an anomaly in every point of view. Such a cluster of great states—many of them large enough for kingdoms—attaching themselves to a foreign power, and remaining faithful tribu taries, almost 'without compulsion or restraint ; more anxious for admission within the English pale than to remain subject to their native chiefs; requiring but a handful of European troops, rather as models kr imitation than as guardians of public order or instruments of subjection, altogether exhibit a picture of Government hitherto unknown in the his tory of the human race. The Romans extended their conquests only by force of arms ; the Greeks were more civilised, planted colonies, and made progress rather by the influence of arts and sciences and theirsuperior skill in civil policy, than by their warlike habits, and in this respect formed a precedent for the progress of British power in India; but the extent of their colonial possessions was nothing compared with the vast expanse where the English language is spoken, English habits in troduced, and bonds of friendship established which hold out fair prospecti of long and uninterrupted duration. A speedy and secure communication, therefore, be , Omen these countries and the parent state, is of the very first importance, and ought to occupy the serious attention of the Government. Even within a few years, entirely by means of steam, a vast change in that respect has been vsemeeiv_the timit re/mired fiM-Si..Y.VRAP tit is accoruplished in one month, and by and by we shall hasty monthly, or weekly, if necessary, intelligence from Bombay in about the time which travellers in weeks of yore required to pass from London to Edinburgh. Mr. WAGIIORN, who has already done wonders, engages to complete, the journey at an average of three weeks from Bombay to London, and, we have no doubt, when such great interests are at stake, lie will receive the utmost support both from the East India Company and her ISLiaesn's Ministers. Speedy intelli gence from that quarter must be obtained. We have lately acquired a brrge territory to the north of Bombay. A new source of trade and commerce has been opened up with the inhabitants on the banks of the Indus ; the Pun jaub itself is a kingdom now of primary influence in our operations in the north, and more particularly in our relations with the Affgbans and Persians. An Anglo-Indian army of fifty thousand men is about to assemble on its fron tier, for purposes which will require not only all the calm reflection and ability of Sir H. HARDINGE, but the early and positive instructions of the Rome Government. Rapid communication with that army becomes absolutely indis pensable, and a few thousands of pounds wisely expended in furthering such an object may save as many millions. To be niggardly in such an undertaking is not only mean, it is impolitic and dangerous, and neither Parliament nor the Company, merchants and country would grudge any expense to render quick and punc teal the intercourse with such diattant countries, and with coup teheUnited Kingdom, have taken by Mr. WaGuoits appeared to us prefer able traders,ie s more, tooor but, lessi n w ei h vn i et c re : r. ensot inhabitanto n T I y he the r onflt OUT peaceable t e h r t l a h a t n r through country, t r3 ll , a Franc, l l re lationsa withble toth e with last ittihia o t v we hope, will long remain uninterrupted, are not, it must be admitted, so little liable to be disturbed, as those with Germany, where there is mach less jealousy of England, and where the people are more commercial and less warlike than their excitable neighbours in the west. The Governments, too, as will be seen from Mr. WAG- Roßx's letter, are fully disposed to render every facility, and even break through their ancient laws and cus toms (a vast concession for an Austrian Cabinet), in order to establish a line for the Indian mail, through their States. The follow in g extrac t confirms the assertion and describes one of the m an y won ders of the day :—"I may mention," says he, " an extraordinary instance of Austrian alacrity and attention. His Excellency the Governor of Trieste, count STADION, Chevalier DE BRUCE, the bead of the Austrian Lloyd's Company, and all the elite of the mer • chants, &c„ of Trieste, were waiting for me at Dwino, though at the hour of half-past twelve at night, and one of the darkest I ever experienced ; we were guided only to Dwino by the rockets sent up by them. My passport was given by order of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, and countersigned at Vienna by the representative of Belgium, Prussia, Baden and Bavaria, countries through which I passed; indeed: I was not asked a question throughout the journey." The French journals, in order to create a counter balance to this, are urging the Go vernme nt to hasten the completion of the Lyons and Avigno n lines, because, when these are finished, the passage will be made in much less time than through Germany. But the German, as well as the Italian States under the dominion of Austria, are also ac tively engaged in forming railways; that from Ostend to theßhine has long been completed,so is one from Bruschel to Manheim, and it is not too much to anticipate, in these days of improvement and change, that there will, in a short time, be a continued railway route from the English Channel to the Adriatic. Even in the present state of the Coeds, the journey was performed with most extraordinary si seed, when it is known that on the voyage from Alexan dri.e;\ to Trieste the steamer experienced a tempest whi ich caused her to be a day and a half longer than usu Al. With the plans now in progress for shortening the the ie occupied in the journey between Bombay and Suez, no don bt can remain that the whole journey may be accom- Plialled in twenty-one days, and, with the aid of railroads, in a. fortnight.. News thus could be brought from Militias, on the borders of the Punjaub, by steamers down the Indus its Bombay .;n ten or twelve days, and the entire journey from Ferozepore to London made in little more than a month. Madrid journals of the 29th October have been received. The Gazette of that date contains a royal ordinance by which two Spanish officers, SANDOVAL and MADERA, who , bad been serving with the French . army in Africa, are directed to join the Russian troops in the Caucasus, and re port upon their operations. The arrest of Colonel SOLER, commanding the Regiment San Fernando, in the public streets, by orders of NARVAEZ, had given rise to some talk in the metropolis. The story is, that the Commander of the Forces had intimated his intention to review the regiment on the 28th, but not arriving at the time appointed, the colonel had left, concluding that the inspection would not take place. It appears that the priest who had been ordered to quit Madrid in twenty-four hours, was the confessor of Don FRANCISCO DR Paut..t, but the cause for this step has not yet Wanspired. Some public business was done on the Bourse on the 29th. 'The Three per Cents. were not ,quoted. The Five per Cents. were done at 22i cash, and the Debt without Interest, at 74, cash. Several of the Paris journals are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Syria, and the serious misunderstanding which At the opening of the Paris Courts of Law for the session on Monday, M. DUPIN the Procureur-General, made a long speech on the history of the rise and progress of the common law of France. It contained nothing political, and was interesting chiefly to the lawyers. In the Journal des Debate there is a well digested article on the trade of France With foreign countries, from which we give these brief ex tracts:— " Let us remark, in the first place, that our exchanges with the north of Europe amounts to 820,000,000, whilst those in the south are only 710,000,000. The superiority, which was for. merly in favour of the Mediterranean, is now passed to the North Seas and the Baltic, and this has arisen from the progress which Germany has made in commercial and manufacturing enterprises. Our trade with Belgium has increased from 156 millions to 179 millions, and the difference has been entirely in the purchases which we make in that country. " With England our situation with regard to the exchange of manufactured products is more favourable. Out of 145 millions of merchandise which she sells us, 54 are manufactured articles, of which 121 are consumed here ; whilst, out of 144 millions of our products with which we supply her, 72i millions are articles of our own manufacturing. What merits particular notice is certain weakness in our affairs with the Italian peninsula, with Turkey and Greece. Frem 76 millions our exchanges with the whole of the Mediterranean have fallen to 65. In 1844 our trade with the United States, the most important of our commercial allies next to England, amounted to 33 millions; in Africa (not including Algeria) our relations make sure but slow progress, and we already begin to reap the fruit of that foresight of which the Government gave proofs in multiplying and strengthening our factories on the coast et Africa between the Seregembic and the Bay of Gabon. " To sum up, the foreign trade of France, a moment slackened "r 044 tare given's - Stitt iiVeliefimpulse. Increase appears through out every branch, and the progress of neighbouring countries in manufactures has not by any means injured our exportation. This is a result which responds in the most satisfactory manner to our internal activity, and prepares us in a worthy manner for the open. log of the legislative session of 1846." The Money and Share Market was very heavy on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday, owing chiefly, it was said, to a scarcity of money, as well as some unfavourable advices from London.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. --We regret to state that during the week ending Saturday, Nor. 1, there has been a great increase in the number of deaths, as compared with several previo us wee k s . Th e total number; was 948, exceeding that of last week by 174. The increase has taken place chiefly in contagious diseases, and those of the lungs, and other organs of respiration. The deaths from measles on the previous week were 52, average 31, while during the last week they amounted to 87. Those caused by bronchitis, pneumonia, and consumption, had also in creased considerably. The violent deaths were 32, of which 12 were from fractures and contusions, 4 from drowning, 7 from hanging, 6 from burns, and the rest from wounds and poison. Of these 6 were suicides. The squadron under the orders of Admiral Par seval Deachenes, which was erroneously stated to have been or dered to the coast of Morocco, has arrived at Toulon. BROMSGROVE.—RISE OF WAGES.—It gives us much pleasure to state that the wages of the operatives at the ex. tensive works at Stoke Prier were raised last week 10 per cent. The men's wages were reduced by that amount more than two years ago, to meet the difficulties of the times, and it is creditable to the proprietors to find them conceding this increase when better times had put it within their power.— Worcestershire Chronicle. CELERY FOR DUCKS.—A writer in the Brigid° National Pilot says :—" The common duck of the poultry.yard, it fed (while fattening) copiously upon the tops of the celery plant, will attain a juciness and a flavour that must call forth unqualified approbation from every epicure. It is the wild celery plant that gives peculiarity of enchantment to the canvas back, and the celery top will add a charm to the duck of the yard that cannot he conceived. You cannot make a tame bird equal one with the wild flavour of freedom and foreign travel, but still you can reline on poultry." _ THE POOE-HOUSE SYSTEM OF ENGLAND.- WRETCHEDNESS OF THE MASSES,-- , A !ilea heartrending expose of the misery —the abject wretchedness of the English poor, has recently been made in the course of an investigation into the con duct of the Governor of the workhouse of a place called Andover. The most sickening details of the sufferings of the unhappy, wretches confined in this " bastile " are given in the evidence. It appears that the poor creatures were daily in the habit of fighting for the putrid fragments of cartilage that adhered to the bones which came from the " Governor's" table S The sick were robbed of their necesaries—the female inmates subjected to beastly assaults —and a systematic course of outrage and cruelty perpetrated for years under the very noses of the " Guardians of the poor !" And this is only a sample—one solitary case—of the abject poverty and misery of the English masses. What a contrast to the condition of the same classes in this ciountry_!"—:4lmerkon paper. . . Earl De Grey has sold his valuable estate ( f Bracewell, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, together with the advowson, comprising from 1,200 to 1,300 acres, to Robert Hop. wood, jun., Esq., of Blackburn. Land for gardens has lately been offered to the public near Peterborough, at 101. per acre per annum. This rent was by some persons considered exorbitant ; but what will those persons say when they are informed that a small piece of garden ground has this week been let after the rate of 201. an acre, for one year P—Lincoln Chronick. *LONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

In so far we are ready to go with the Times, and trust that the course adopted by a few Committees, may be very generally adopted. We cannot, however, consent to the arguments of our powerful Contemporary, that the payment into the hands of the Ac count-General will c:.eate such a scarcity of money as to de range very greatly commercial operations, or to interfere, to a " panic point," with the state of the currencey• There is infinitely more in a deficient yield of the crops to account for the present heavy state of the Funds, and rise in the value of money, than in warnings of the Times, which now so complaisantly assumes to have first put a veto to the formation of any new plans for railways, and to have checked bubble speculations. The last principal failure in the Stock Exchange has thrown a gloom over the market, and which is likely to have an influence for some days to come, although the party will pay everybody, and have a large surplus. It is a very important fact that ought to be borne in mind, that the country markets for shares have maintained themselves pretty well. A new Company, the Grand Junction, Great Western , and South-Western Railway Junction, has appeared in the market, the shares commanding a slight premium. Pro ceeding through Bicester to Slough, it completes the shortest route from London to Birmingham, Liverpool, and Man chester. Accounts of August 27th, from the Cape of Good Hope, describe the colony as progressing well, and the result of the wool sales here excited much satisfaction. The farmers,' however, complain that Sir Peregrine Maitland's views have not been carried out, and that cattle thefts were becoming as frequent as ever, though previously abating. Natal was to have a lieutenant-governor, judge, recorder, and more troops.

We have to announce the arrival in this country of an illustrious personage--his Majesty Emile 11., King of the Dogs. His Majesty, who is accompanied by his tutor, M. Wallens, after having received the homage of the principal cities of Europe, has arrived in London, for the purpose of procuring the recognition of his title by the British people. And who and what is Emile 11. ? the reader may demand. Emile 11. is a shepherd's dog, who by his wonderful performances in Le Chien des Pyrenees, at the Cirque Olympique, is Paris, has been drawing crowded houses for some 50 nights during the last spring, and who, on the clos ing of the Cirque Olympique at the commencement of the sum mer, was engaged at the Theat r e d es V ar iete s , an d th ere , i n the Chien du Contrabandier was the principal support of the theatre during the greater part of the summer. His tutor, M. Wallens, has long been celebrated as the most accomplished instructor of the canine race. Emile 1., the predecessor of the present Emile, was one of the most wonderful of European dogs, but Emile 11. surpasses him in docility and accomplishments. We have had the pleasure of seeing Emile 11., and certainly he is the most talented of artists. The converse of the mot of Talleyrand, with regard to the elder branch of the Bourbons, may be applied to Emil e . "II a tout appris mais it n'a rien oublie." No need of any prompter with Emile. He knows his part perfectly, and he thoroughly enters into the spirit of it. He has studied it—he has reasoned on it —he shows his thoughts and his actions, and the expressions of his features—he is a perfect master of pantomime. He does all but speak ; but, though he cannot speak, he can read and write, and play at cards, and lay out a table more adroitly than any waiter. In fact, the difficulty is to say what Emile cannot do. These are accomplishments which cannot fail to gain fur Emile the favour of the public; but Emile has higher claims on our gratitude, he has more than once saved human life, and, in 1835, the Belgian Government. rewarded with a medal of honour his instructor, M. Wallens, for having, by the aid of Emile, saved the life of a person who had fallen into the river Escaut, at Ghent. Like all true geniuses, Emile is the most modest and kind-hearted of mortals—to the learning of the sage, he adds the simplicity and playfulness of the in fant. The petted of society, he is not its spoiled child; for, whatever may have been the case in by-gone years. Emile has not now the remotest approach to puppyism about him. He is, indeed, Le Roi des Chien. The success which has attended Lieutenant Wag horn's first attempt to fooevard the Indian mail rid Trieste must be gratifying to all admirers of enterprise. Even sup posing France to be the more natural route, it is obvious that untoward circumstances might arise which would at once cut off our overland communication with India unless the practicability of as speedy a transit through Germany were demonstrated. A spirit less bold or indefatigable would have been content with being the first to discover one over land route; it is the singular fortune, if it be fair to apply the term in such a case, of Lieutenant Waghorn to have shown the feasibility of two. We are new so accustomed to receive our letters twice a month from India, that we are apt to forget the time when the scheme for an over land mail vid Marseilles was laughed to scorn. The thing was a chimera, it could never succeed ; but it did succeed ; and the mockers were silenced, just as a fortnight since the failure of the attempt Lid Trieste was confidently predicted by some who are now ready to cry out, We always said so." For our own part, we confess that we entertain doubts whether the Trieste route will be always so sure, even though it should be occasionally speedier than that vid Marseilles. In winter time it will be no easy matter to convey a heavy mail of many boxes over the passes of the Tyrol, and a tall of snow may cause several days' delay. But as to the courage and capacity which Lieutenant Wag horn has displayed there can only be one opinion. He has a claim on the gratitude of all who are interested in India • and we only hop e th at t h e thousands who have benefited bly his persevering labours will not forget that a testimonial is now being set on foot in acknowledgment of his =Wait services.

FATAL AFFBAIN—KINGWOOD, N0v.5.-011 Satur day last a quarrel took plate between som e p art i es assembled at the Victoria beer.house, kept b y George lies, in this vill age , w hi c h resulted in the death of a man named James Brain. An inquest has been held upon the body, at which it appeared that on the above.mentiened night the members of a friendly society, or benefit club, met to transact business. A portion of them wished to remove the society to another house, which gave rise to a quarrel. In the scuffle a man named Henry Bryant caught up the box containing the payments of the members, and was about going down stairs with it, when the deceased man, Brain, kicked him. Bryant, thereupon, pulled Brain by the legs, and pre. tipitated him headlong down stairs, causing injuries, from the effects of which he died in about four hours afterwards. Bryant his been committed upon the coroner's warrant to Gloucester gaol to take his trial for the offence.

Whilst the admirable editorship of Sir HARRIS NICOLAS, in giving to the world the " Nelson Dispatches and Letters," is vindicating the memory of the greatest of all British heroes from many most serious but utterly unfounded imputations on his moral and political integrity, the accomplished biogra pher is also rendering a service to the nation at large of incalculable value. Sir HARRIS is reviving that generous enthusiasm which, kindled by similar labours on the part of Sotansir, has secured to:the naval service of the kingdom many hundreds of gallant and enthusiastic sailors, whose youthful imitation of our indomitable captain of the seas gave an irresistible direction to their future des tiny. But, whatever less elaborate care in the collection, extent, and digestion of authentic materials, on the part of the late Laureate, had left imperfectly developed, has been admirably supplied by the greater industry and judgment of the more recent historian. His views of the principles that governed NELsox's conduct in some of the most memo rable passages of his eventful life are not obscured by -the same occasional prepossessions or prejudices of a purely conventional character which some times disfigure the opinions advanced by SOUTHEY, and which all the matchless charms of his style of composition cannot compensate for. But we do not intend to enter in this place into any formal or controversial parallel between the two historians, nor to enlarge, even, on the successful ex planations, as we are clearly of opinion they must be consi dered, which Sir HARRIS has now supplied on the nature of the earlier period of Lord NELSON'S connexion with Lady HAMILTON, and in exculpation of the hero from that ungenerous and vindictive instrumentality in the terrible fate of Prince CARRACCIOLI, which has been so confidently but so unwarrantably attributed to the British Admiral. Our present purpose is to offer the humble tribute of our praise and congratulation to Sir HARRIS Nl coL"'for having, by his very opportune labours, placed the greatest naval chief who ever astonished mankind by his va lour and his prowess, his disinterestedness and his success, his genius and his fortune, in a right position before the eyes, as it were, of the present generation and of posterity. Judging of others by ourselves, we are convinced that the same thrilling emotions of admiration, respect, gratitude, and en thusiasm will animate every British bosom for the memory of this immortal leader with which the perusal of these records of his inmost thoughts, of his heart's own eloquence, as well as of the great acts of his magnanimous intrepidity, have inspired our own. The study of the themes we allude to is a pleasure of the very hicheet order, modified only by the bitter indignation with which we trace the shameful story of the wrongs he was incessantly experiencing at the hands of superior authorities, through the base influences of profes sional envy, and the contemptible niggardliness of political partizanship ; and the peculiar:ty in his career, whilst li seems to attach to the honours paid to his memory a ,cter deith. To sum up the complexion and amount of these one fact, we need scarcely remind the public that the column reared to his memory, in Trafalgar -square, still remains unfinished, still hoarded up, in part, from the view of his compatriots. On several former occasions we have animadverted from time to time on the contemptible conduct of the Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL with regard to this national monument. We exhibited the Premier gravely upholding the report of one of those Committees (of taste, the fine arts, &c.) whose decisions and recommendations are generally the subjects of merriment or compassion to all the refined capitals of Europe. We adverted to Sir Roemer's concurrence in the announcement to the House of Commons that it had been judiciously determined to reduce the architect's original design for a Corinthian column of a given din union of shaft, &c., (1.) because in case of any accident to it, it might cause great destruction of life and property in so. densely crowded a thoroughfare; (2.) because those original' proportions would throw into absolute insignificance the low façade of the so-called " National Gallery" (a monstrosiir; due to the designs of Mr.WILKINs and the purblind patronise, , e of Mr. Smut° RICE). The "National Gallery," it is evide at the Premier, at the time, considered a very fine edifice; so, for fear of destroying its " effect," the column was act' ` la ity reduced . (by some 13 feet or more, if we rightly re aid .nber) in height, and thus impaired, in order to meet thes...v.iews of Boardi of Taste and Boards of Woods and, ,Forevts, Then came Lord Lncox with his petty 4ellz and evasions, as manifested in his correspond duce wit), the!
