Not so the bigoted clique that would restore the palmy days of Tory corruption and Tory misrule, and that happily now ARRIVAL of the GREAT BRITAIN LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 15.—The Great Britain arrived tuis morning, anticipatesb efore eight by ot'chleoc arrival r ; i v h a e l r of intelligenceth the ni bemi hasa: however,Captain- been reports' very s a ti s f actor il y o f t h e powe rs of the screw, and of the ship's m ac hi nery. D ur i ng th e whole passage the engines have never b een s t oppe d , b u t h ave worked with.the greatest possible reg u l ar i ty. The reason o f t h e pas sage being of somewhat longer d urat i on t h an was ex p ec ted is the difficulty of keeping a sufficient supply of steam. This difficulty her commander and engineer are, however, fully confident of overcoming in her• future voyages. Captain Ilosken sailed from New York on the afternoon of the 30th, and at 7 P.DI. of that day the pilot left her. On her passage she has experienced very little westerly wind, and one day, in a fine breeze, the ship made 298 m il es, f rom noon t o noon . It appears rat during th e w h ole voyage the vesse l was never worked at a greater pressure than 600 horse power, although her engines are of 1,000 horse power. The natural consequence of this was, that instead of making, as it is cal culated she can, seventeen and a half revolutions per minute, she averaged but thirteen. This is stated to arise from an insufficiency of the furnaces and boilers, which are both too small. The following table shows the degrees the vessel mado and the degrees run in each 24 hours : SAILED FROM NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUG.- 30, 4 P.M. Noon. Lat. Long. Distance. Sunday, Aug. 31 Monday, Sept. 1 ...... .. .... 40 43 Tuesday, Sept. 2 Wednesday-, Sept. 3 ...... ... 43 00 Thursday, Sept. 4 ........... 44 28 .. .... 56 16 196 Friday, Sept. 5 ' 46 10 ...... 52 08 Saturday, Sept. 6..

Saturday Morning, Sept. 13, made land. The vibration so gene ra ll y complained of in paddle wheel steamers is scarcely felt in the Great Britain, even at the sternmest part of the vessel, and midships, and at the fore, it is not at all perceptible; while, as a proof of the excellence of her machinery, it may be mentioned 'that, throughout the whole voyage, not a scre w or pin becaine loose. A gale of wind appears to be more calculated to show the vessel'sgreat powers than a calm. 'ln the former, when the wind keeps the sails stiff, she behaves very well, but when a calm prevails she rolls tremendously. The 1' rig" of the Great Britain is not yet perfect, and it is, we believe, the intenti on o f her gallant commander, before Making his next trip, to effect some important alterations in it. The wire rigging is not found to answer so well as was anticipated. Duriug the voyage she carried away her main-topmast, about half-way down, an accident the more to -be regretted, as it is Stated to have arisen from the insufficiency , of hands to take in the sail on a sudden squall of wind rising. This insufficiency, it should be stated, arose from the desertion of a large portion of the original crew at New York, just as the vessel was upon the point of sailing, which oNiged Lieute nant Hosken to make up his number with the best men he could procure on the spot. On attempting to remove the stump of the broken mast, the day &ler the accident, two of the crew were seriously injured. One of them had his arm completely smashed—amputation being performed on the spot by the ship's surgeon. For this poor fellpw the passenge rs s u b sequen tl y collected a purse con taining p5l. The weather has been unfavourable, strong easterly winds prevail' g nearly throughout the p assage. The reat Britain does not appear to h ave created any par ticular egree of excitement in the New W orld. The gene ral impression was unfavourable to her, and a l though visited by veryimany p ersons w hil e lyi ng i n d ock, there was a Great strong prejudice against crossing in her. This will, doubt less, be removed after she has made a f ew more equally suc cessful rims. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 10,000 bales, including 3,000 to 4,000 on speculation. Prices were very fully supported, but not higher sales. Sales 1,000 bales Surat, at 3d. to 4q.d. ; 1,400 Macao, at 6d. to 6 1 4 d. ; 100 Pernam, at 7d. ; 200 Egyptian, at 6 1 4 d. to 9d. ; and the rest American, at 4d. to 5 1 4. d. per lb.—Shares were good, and alarge business Iva transacted, in some instances at advanced. rates, the light scrip being principally dealt in, as the old lines were comparatively neglected, except Manchester and Birmingham, which rose rather considerably. We are glad to find by the advices which came to hand from the British North American Colonies that a very warm interest is felt among all classes for the rapid extension of the railway system throughout the dependencies of the Crown in that direction. It has been already stated that a company has been formed for constructing a railway in the upper pro vinces, and an extension of the plan has been received with great attention by the colonists to communicate with Halifax, and progressively to form a line westwardly to the Pacific Ocean. We are given to understand that the Go vernors of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the other colonial authorities, are warmly interested in this most beneficial project. On the proposed line there is every facility for executing the works upon a most economical scale. The advantage to the colonies themselves cannot be at present duly estimated. The advantages of railway com munication, as compared with canal conveyance, is admitted on all hands, and a great deal of anxiety was expressed as to the amount of success which would attend the plan when developed to British_ capitalists, as from them a considerable portion of the necessary funds would, in the first instance, be required. It appears by the Royal Gazette, of New Brunswick, that there had been a considerable improvement in the re venue of the colony, which had been augmented in the first six months of this year by 15,8001., as compared with the returns of the corresponding period of 1844. The accounts from New York state that the stream of emigration had set in there for the season with increased activity ; within 24 hours there had been reported not less than 2,687 steerage passengers, of which 1,755 were from the United Kingdom. Including the arrivals of the two previous days, more than 3,000 persons had landed. A letter from Albany says—" This is a great country, but how long will it take to fill it up at this rate? The arrival of 1,500 settlers. a day at New York, and as many more at the other ports of the 'United States and Canada, will enormously increase Uncle Sam's interesting and miscellaneous family. There are accounts of May 10 from Sydney. Trade was not very active. The Exchange on London had been 1 discount. The continental accounts are not of any leading importance to-day. There are but four quotations given for the English Funds to-day, namely—Consols for Money at 98% lA, and Exche quer-bills at 465. 48s. premium. Consols for the Account have not been priced at all to•day. The Brazilian Bonds have been dealt in at 88 (for the new stock), and Chilian at 104, as the dividend has been duly advertised. Mexican are at 32S ; Portuguese Four per Cents. at 63 ; Russian at 115 ; Spanish at 38% 38; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 61% and 61 1 4. The Railway Share Market has been upon the.whole pretty firm to-day, but so much attention is being paid to the settle ment, that not so much bona fide business has been done as of late. The latest accurate prices are annexed. The French lines are firm. represent only the " remnants of a broken faction." Should one of their elect show symptoms of unbelief in their doctrines, or have the sagacity to perceive that the idol, which fifty years ago was adored as the perfection of beauty, is now in a very dilapidated condition, and will fall to pieces without timely repairs, he is denounced as a rrnegade, and all his splendid talents and high aspirations for the safety of Church and State are con verted into crimes. Great rejoicing took place when General EVANS was driven from Westminster, and Captain Ross suc ceeded to his place. The Captain was everything that was great and good. He was gallant, he was straightforward, he was skilful in his manceuvi es, he took the old General by surprise, and the worthy electors of Westminster were praised to the skies for their judgment, their discretion, and their return from Radicalism to the true political faith. But, alas ! popularity is not more enduring among high born ladies and noble lords than among the low vulgar. The patrician breeze, in fact, is more fickle, and the parties who are carried before it have not the excuse of ignorance, low birth, and the other qua lities which they usually attribute to the plebeian race. Cap tain Rous is admitted to be a man of fair abilities, and gives very general satisfdction to his constituents of all parties, yet the Post of yesterday, because he happened to make a sensible speech the other day at an agricultural meeting not in unison with its crotchets, thus falls foul of the man of their choice :—" A very gallant sailor, .who_is also a Member of Parliament, and a very foolish one, has been talk ing in a wild and nonsensical strain at a meeting in Suffolk, which was presided over by a noble relative, who is a pro prietor of land. We took no notice of this nonsense when it was spoken, but now we must do so, as we find the free-trade journals have seized on it, and tell their readers it is a speech which Mr. COBDEN might have spoken. This is no compli ment to Mr. COBDEN." This is very ungrateful. It is very impolitic, too, because it shows that these Tory bigots will not listen to reason, and discard from their society all but the worn-out statesmen of the day, represented by such bright luminaries as the Duke of NEWCASTLE, the Earl of WINCIDISEA, and the Earl of RODEN. They are in fact doing all they can to reduce theparty to a state ofnonentity. To this we have no objection ; but-we must protest against a system by which honest men are calumniated, and the best interests of the people sacrificed for the benefit of a monopolising, and wealthy class. By the Royal Tar steamer, which arrived from the Penin sula at Southampton on Monday, we have accounts from Gibraltar to the 6th and Lisbon to the 10th instant. The intelligence is not important. The Queen of PORTUGAL, accompanied by the KING CONSORT, left the capital on the 3d for Thomar, on a visit to COSTA CABRAL, the Minister of the Interior, who has a magnificent seat and large landed property in that beautiful district, perhaps the finest in all Portugal. As royal progresses are becoming fashionable, and ought to be encouraged, it is only proper to let Donna MARIA DA GLORIA have her share of the merit. The Diario do Governo gives the following account of her MAJESTY'S voyage up the Tagus:— " On Wednesday last, amidst the roar of cannon from all the ships of war in the Tagus, the QUEEN and KING Cox- SORT embarked from the royal dockyard in this city, on board the Terceira steamer, and proceeded' up the river to Villa Nova, on their way to Thomar, to honour with a visit the Minister of the Interior. On arriving off Villa Nova, her MAJESTY was visited on board the steamer by the municipa lity and other authorities of the place, who presented aa ad dress, breathing, of course, the most loyal sentiments. On the 4th she arrived at Santarem, where the same scene was enacted. On the following day the royal party set out by land for Azumbuga, where, according to the Diario, they were received with enthusiastic demonstrations of joy. At Cartaxo, the next stage of their journey, their MAJESTIES visited the hospital, where they left a handsome donation. At Santarem they were received, according to th e Di ar i o , i n the most brilliant manner. A numerous party of horsemen went out to meet them, and escorted them into the town, which they entered under a superb triumphal arch, erected for the occasion. Next day her MAJESTY held a levee, and afterwards admitted the principal civil and military autho rities to the honour of dining with her." ONE eItICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

DISEIASED POTATOES.—Amongst the potatoes in troduced into the London markets a great proportion have proved to be affected with the prevalent disease. —The roots so attacked give out no peculiar appearance to the eye by which the presen ce o f di sease ma y be indi ca t e d , but in boil ing it is lat once perceptible from the dark mass which they present in the interior. The dealers are aware of this, and in many of the poorer districts of the metropolis potatoes were sold on Saturday at 41b. and 61b. for 2d. Whatever may have been the cause, it is certain that externally the disease indicates itself by a fungus or moss, producing a decomposi. tion of the farinaceous interior. It therefore resembles in many respects the ergot attacking grain and grasses ; which it was proved at the last meeting of the British Association, at Cambridge, had greatly increased the last two or three years, being probably owing to the great additional increase of animal manures. It may be remarked that in the Isle of Wight, where the disease has occurred in its most virulent form, we lately had the opportunity of observing in many in stances that it was most prevalent in those crops which had been planted on wheat land which had previously been ma nured with guano, The use of these diseased potatoes for domestic 'purposes cannot be too much condemned.—Ea mp .. shire Tehyjraph. SUPPOSED ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISI.—Short' An extraordinary meeting of the Grand Council of Berne, which was very fully attended, took place on the 10th inst. The Avoyer NEUHAUS, who represented the Canton at the Zurich Diet, addressed the Assembly, and stated the motives arhich had induced the Executive Council to convoke the Grand Council. The continual attacks of the press, he stud, had forced the Regency to demand if it was worthy of the confidence of the people. By the convocation of the Grand Council all opinions could be freely expressed, and the discus sion would show the real position of the country. The pro positions that were to be brought before the Grand Council for the revision of the Constitution, would prove that there was no desire to remain stationary. They are classed under six heads :-1. The situation of the canton since April 1. 2. The strong opposition e x i s ti ng i n the coun try. 3. The vic e s o f the Constitution. 4. The adminis trative acts of the Government at the present critical moment. 5. The tendency to popular associations which exists. And 6. The anarchy of the periodical press. After other speeches, which led to no result, the Council adjourned till next day. I b v e i fo o re lv t a w s e - - ay police-constable gmr. oon d ' c o ut y e 1 i o n n S p a r ta: La Christie's, p rem i ses, the Royal George H ote l , di scovered that the front d oor was open. Having aroused the inmates, Mr. Christie h as t ened down, when his attention was called to a strong smell of b urn i ng, which appeared to r i se from the lower part of th e b u i lding. Mr. Christie and the constable at once comm ence d an examination of the premises, and on y o n n d i -street, r t e e t t, he in pass going into the back kitchen they found a fire burning, which it is suspected was wilfully caused by some person. Upon making a further search, it was ascertained that the till had been forced open, and about 20s. taken therefrom. This fact strengtheps the supposition that the premises had been first robbed and then set fire to. Fortunately the discovery was so opportunely made that the fire was easily got out and be fore much damage was done. NAVAL PREPARATIONS.—A large augmentation in the number of artisans and labourers in all our dockyards will take place immediately. No less than 426 additional hands are ordered to be entered in the dockyard, viz. :-150 ship wrights, d 6 joiners, 22 caulkers, 48 smiths, 100 labourer s , 42 sawyers, and 38 ropemakers' labourers. The ropemakers are also to be augmented, and several stout boys are to be admitted to this department. With the increased force four large war -steamers are to be built upon the designs respectively of Mr. Fincbam, the master shipwright, and Mr. White of Cowes. These vessels, we are informed, will be got off the stocks with all possible dispatch. The additional force is engaged fpr six months, at the same wages as the other artisans. A daily report is ordered to be made of the state of the advaneed thirty sail-of-the-line, and all stores not perish able, and furniture not liable to deteriorate by being afloat, are to be put on board as convenient. The steam gu ard " ships are to be brought forward i mmediately; in fact, some of them have already been taken in hand. Notice for tenders from engineers has been issued, and the tenders for screw machinery for these steam guard-ships will be sent into the Admiralty from the various firms after the Ist of next ruonth.—Hampshi re T e l egraph. Ma. WAKLEY, M.P.--A paragraph respecting the alleged state of Mr. Wakley's health, which appeared in a weekly medical journal, and which has been copied into several of the newspapers, has caused considerable uneasiness among the Hon. Gentleman's friends. We have great plea sure in stating that the representations contained in the para graph in question are wholly destitute of foundation. Mr. Wakley, about three weeks ago, left London for the Isle of Skye, having previously purchased the right of shooting in that island. Not havin g qu i tted town for ten years pre viously, foil the purpose of recreation, it was thought that a temporary residence in an island 700 miles north of London would greatly conduce to the improvement of his health, after the fatigues of professional and Parliamentary life. We are gratified to be able to stat e th at these anticipations have been realised.— Observer.

General NARVAEZ was expected to arrive in the capital about the 12th, and the QUEEN, with her mother and sister, on the 14th or 15th. The Gazette publishes instructions from the Finance Minister to the collectors of the income-tax through out the kingdom. On lands, the tax is to be taken accord ing to the net profits from agricultural produce ; and as re gards commerce, according to the profits in trade, professions, &c., as in the income-tax of this country. It does not ap pear from these instructions that any important modifications have been made in this tax, which is viewed in the most un favourable light, and probably will yet give some employment to the army under NARVAEZ. The Spaniards are little ac customed to taxation for State purposes, and in the inland provinces, more especially, it will meet with strong resist ance. The following decree, creating the mother of General CORDOVA a Peeress, appears in the Gazette :—" Wishing to honour the memory of the illustrious General CORDOVA, who commanded in chief at the battle of Mendigorria, which de cided the fate of the throne and country, and taking also into consideration the merit of his brother Camp-Marshal COR DOVA, and his conduct in the recent events at Madrid, her MAJESTY has granted to their mother, Donna MARIA DX LA PAS VALCAREL, the Grandesa of Castille, with the titles of Marchioness de Mendigorria and Viscountess d'Arlaban which, on her demise, shall pass to her said son, Don F.

The Journal des Debats, in reply to a charge brought against the Minister of Public Works, by the National, for the haste with which the contract for the Northern -Railway line was made, sufficiently explains the cause. " The Company," it states, " is obliged to reimburse to the State, at an interest of 3 per cent., the sums expended, or to be expended, by the State for the works of the railroad between Paris and the Belgian frontier, and that that interest was to run from the date of the homologation of the adjudication. 11,300,000 f. have been laid out in the construction of the two roads from Lille and Valenciennes to the frontier of Belgium, and credits to an amount of 78,000,000 f. have been opened in the Department of Public. Works for the construction of the line between Paris, Lille, and Valenciennes. • The sums ex pended, or to be expended, by the State accordingly amount to about 90,000,000 f., and the interest due by the Company, from the date of the homologation, to 2,700,000 f., or 2 25,000 E per month, or 7,500 f. per day. What would the National have said, if the Minister, by delaying the ho mologation of the adjudication, had retarded the period at which so considerable an interest commenced to run ?" The same jou rna l ma k es some severe comments on t h e dispatches of Count WonoNzoFe, giving an account of what has been called " Victories in the Caucasiy," and contends that there had deen no victories at all, but decided defeat. The object of the Russian General was to separate certain tribes by cut ting off their communications, and had employed four divi sions of his army for that purpose, which entirely failed—all these divisions falling back, one upon the other, and at last retiring in a body. The official journal, therefore, concludes that the expedition into the Daghestan had led to no result, and that COunt WORONZOFF had been created a Prince for doing nothing. The following remarks relative to the late commercial treaty between France and Naples appear in the Government paper:— " The relations between the two kingdoms were regulated ever since the family compact of the Bourbons, that is, for nearly 200 years, by a system of mutual concessions, guaranteeing certain privi leges to each, but which, not being stipulated in a formal and special treaty, could be easily revoked or eluded. On the other hand, the kingdom of the Two Sicilies was precluded by a tacit convention from extending to any other country the advantages enjoyed by French trade in the. Neapolitan dominions. A first treaty, signed on the 28th of February, 1817, merely confirmed those immunities, which consisted principally in a reduction of 10 per cent. in the duties on French goods imported into the kingdom of Naples on board French or Neapolitan vessels. The treaty of the 14th of. July. 1845, for mally abolished all exclusive privileges, while it maintained for a period of ten years the above reduction of 10 per cent. in the import duties on French merchandise. The Neapolitan Government pledged itself, by the same treaty, not to re-establish the old Immunities to favour of any nation whatsoever, and at the same time not to grant to any other State, pending the duration of the treaty, the advantages secured by it to France. The Neapolitan Government had, moreover, consented to a diminution of one-half in the import duties on French china, glass, and crystal ; of one-third on bronze and copper works, such as clocks, candelabra, chains, locks, Bc.c. ; of one-half on articles of fashion, bonnets, caps, shawls, handkerchiefs, feathers, artificial flowers, mantillas, lace, crape, veils, hangings, &c. ; of one-third on leather and skins, co loured or varnished ; of 5-12ths on wrought gold and jewellery. Those reductions are to take place independently of the reduction of 10 per cent. above-mentioned. According to the documents lately published by the Minister of Commerce, the intercourse between the two countries amounts to about 180 ,000,000 f. —viz., I 30,000,000 f. for the continental possessions, and 50,000,000 f. for Sicily." The Presse states that Lord PALSIERSTON is expected at Paris in a few days, and that the Duke DE BROGLIE is to have the chair in the French Academy vacant by the death of M. ROYER COLLARD.

JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSIoN.—The Commis sioners appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of the recent explosion of fire damp at Jarrow Colliery are pursuing their investigations, and as reporters are not allowed to be present at their meetings, neither the evidence of the various witnesses examined nor the general course of the inquiry can be known their report is presented. It is understood, however, that the Commissioners are desirous of collecting all the information they can from parties cognizant of facts relating to the state of the mine previous to the explosion, and with that view they have had private Interviews with several of the workmen employed upon the colliery. They have also availed themselves of the assistance of parties who have been engaged in mining operations in various parts of the district, as to the general mode of yoking, and the system of ventilation employed, and it is understood that the in quiry will be the most elaborate and scientific that has ever been instituted. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT•—On Tuesday even ing last, about half-past fiv e o ' c lock, a man named Joseph Kidd, of Renwick, Cumberland, aged 39 years, and a valuable horse, came to untimely ends under the following distressing circumstan ces : It appears that there is a very large cutting about a quarte r o f a there mile distant from Penrith Castle, and the earth is conveyed from in waggons at a rapid rate on an incline a certain distance through the fields, and across the main road leading from renrith to Keswick, to near the ruins of the Castle, wh ere the line becomes loci; the waggons ar e dra wn from thi s cut by place by horses to a large filling up at Penrith Townhe a d, and the empty waggons are dragged back again to the horses. Deceased was in the act of taking five empty waggonsu up again to the cut, and when he came to the " point,'' or place where the change of line takes place, on unyoking the horse fro.n the waggons, it unfortunately turned the wrong way, and got upon the line, where five loaded waggons were coming down the incline at a most furious speed, and in o r d er to extricate the horse from its perilous situation he ran upon t h at line after it ; but before he could get it off and himself out of the way the loaded wag gons ca me smash upon him . and the horse, and all of them went over t h em both. One of his thighs was s mashed to atoms, and hi s sp i ne an d head were dreadfully injured. Dr. Templeton, the surgeon on that part of the line, ha ppened to b e near the spot at th e ti me , w h o ordered Kidd to be conveyed h ome. Other medical gentlemen were also soon in attendance, but th ey would not amputat e by rea son of deceased having lost so much blood, and the injuries to the spine and head. Although suffering the most excruciating pain, the poor man was sensible till about half-past nine o'clock of the same evening, when death put an end to his torments. The horse was not killed, but it was so dread fully crushed and mangled that it was shot on the place. On the same day, on the same line, near Yew's Cragg viaduct, Westnaore. land, a lad who was driving a horse, drawing a number of waggons, most miraculously escaped being killed. When um. yoking the horse from the waggons on coming to the incline, h e fell into the middle of the line, where he lay quietly stretched out till all the waggons passed over him, without receiving the least in jury. On getting up the lad did nothing but laugh, and h am , diately set to the same work again quite undismayed. Tuesday last was an awfully fatal day amongst the workmen on the L ao. caster and Carlisle Railway, in the vicinity of Penrith, for we have further to relate the heartrending particulars attending the death of a young man named Thomas Graham, aged 18 years, son o f Mr. I'. Graham, of Skeugh-head, near Calthwaite. Deceased had just " tip ped " a waggon on a filling up near Barrow-mill, n o t f ar from H es k eth.in-the-Forest, and wa s going to meet another waggon, when a bolt and some other gear gave way, and he was thrown under it.

DERBY. 12 to 1 agst Sting 22 to 1 agst Malcolm --taken 40 to 1 agst Peri colt—taken. (moss, oust OWN coanzarorsosmr.) (Continued from The Seas of Sept. 15 .) The Doncaster meeting commences to-morrow with a programme of sport that must gladden the heart of every Yorkshireman and every turfite. In accordance with my promise, I proceed to state upon paper my reasons for naming the probable winners of the Va. noes races. For the Champagne I selected Mr. Ramsay's Malcolm, the superiority o f h is running at York and the strength of th stable. My o th er fancy, Princess Alice, I chose merely from her improved form at G oodwood. from In the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes I thought Lord George Bentinck's filly would be found the best, from seeing that she was on her road, and from an idea that his Lordship would not take the trouble to send her unless he deemed her good enough to win. In the match between Semiseria and Nottingham I stood on the former because her running at Goodwood showed a marked im provement in her form. In the exciting St. Leger I selected Mentor, from his public run. ning being so good, from the stable being in such strong force this season, from the opportunities enjoyed by his party of ascertaining his merits, and the weight of money put upon him by those whose judgment in racing cannot be disputed for an instant. Weather bit I would not have, from an impression that he will not have got over his trying race for the Goodwood Cup, in which he ought, had he been good enough, to have won the St. Leger; he should have beaten a mare somewhat stale from running over so trying a course the previous day. Miss Sarah I declined having from thinking her victory by no means of that importance that others attached to it, seeing Miss Elis's good qualities had been nearly all taken out of her by her previous doings. Annandale's running at York already dis plays Old England's pretensions ; that he will obtain a forward po sition in the race, I have not the least doubt. His being started at Salisbury was by no means encouraging to his backers for this race, inasmuch as it looked as if his owner was determined to get as much out of him as he could while sound. The Baron and Ould Ireland will run respectably, and perhaps remunerate those parties who have drawn them in sweeps, by putting into their pockets the third prize. The Welsh horse Pantasa will struggle on well, but I think his forte more gameness than speed. In the Cleveland Handicap I named Mr. Meiklam's Godfrey, from the manner in which he fulfilled my prediction respecting him at York. In the Municipal Stakes, the way in which I saw Arkwright finish his race at Goodwood caused me to name him as the probable winner. In the Foal Stakes my reasons for preferring Midlothian are un necessary to mention. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap I preferred (Glossy, from a confident belief in her superiority to the rest of the field. My Mary ought to run respectably. Midlothian's doings in public made me: pick him for the winner of the Scarborough. The same reasons led me to fix upon Mentor - or Ould Ireland for the Gascoyne, and Princess Alice or Freelance for the Two-yrs. old Stakes. The result of the St. Leger will determine In a great measure, the Parkhill Stakes, and one of the Misses I think will no doubt win it. In the two matches that follow, I preferred the owners of Lord Harry and Fitzallen to those of their antagonists. Sept. 15.

Harding and. 4 % Browne, Directors, 'and Mr. Peter Barlow, the resident en -234 gineer, m a d e an e x per i mental trip over thisiine, which rim s from the Tunbridge station of the &nth-Eastern Railway to - the pleasant s ummer res i dence of . Tunbridge Wells, from - whence we under s t an d 'it is intend e d to carry on the lin e t o - _ Hastings. Gene ra l P as l ey expressed Itimfelf satisfied w ith the stability of the.works, and condition. of_the line. The length of the branch to the 'proposed permanent station is : five miles, but it is at present open to the temporary sta tion at Jenkwood's spring, s it ua t e d a b out a quarter of a mile - - from the town. Th e permanent station will be in th e centre _ of the town, and is approached by. a tunnel, 800 y ar d s long, __, under a portion of the town. The works to the temporary station are heavy, there being half a million yards of earth - work or cuttings chiefly in rock. There is al so a tunnel 0 - a quarter of a mile near Lomer-hill Park, and a brick via - duct, 270 yards long an d 40 f eet h i gh. The line : was coin _ _ menced in July, 1844, as a . s i ng l e line, ezt,-ily twelve months before the 'Act was obtained , AD!" in April, 1845, -1. - it was determined. to make it a (I '.',',7iVle line. The cost - to Jenkwood's spring, includigg litnd, has been 100 ,0004 and -- the extension into Tunbrlfe Wells will b e 80 , 000 /. more. - - The line passes near Lerner-hill Park, the res id ence or man : sion of James Al exan d er, Esq., and near Colebroke Park, the residence of Benjamin Smith, E sq . A most remarkable - feature connected. with this line is th e f act that it will be - - opened within a f ew wee k s after the obtainment of the Act, and that the cuttings intersect the headings of the ancient - _ iron works of thi s coun t ry. - The understanding between the Grand Junction and the - - Chester and Birke n h ea d li nes is considered-a wise proceeding, and the talk is that the arrangement is mutually advantage.. ous. The Che s t er and Birkenhead Company a re t o work - _ their own line b e t ween their own termini, and the Grand Junction' is, on paying a fixed toll, to have the privilege of _ - running their Lond,n, Crewe, and othe r t ra i ns on it, thus - securing to themselves . a direct approach to Woodside--a. - mode of communication of which they purpose abundantly to - - avail themselves. Th e Ch es hi r e J unction is to be worked on a similar plan. The talk is that as the Holyhead line will _ _ have to adopt arrangements similar to those agreed to by the 3% Grand Junction, and that as all the new lines approaching - ' Chester will claim; and no doubt obtain, the same privilege, - the Chester and Birkenhead Railway will be, by and by, in a - condition of unwonted prosperity._ Liverpool Chronicle. - Several owners and occupiers of land at Windermere and _ - Grassmere have determined to withhold their consent to - any line passing through the lake distriet. A compromise is said ,to have been aged upon detweett the promoters of th e D evon and Cornwall, the Darthmouth, Exeter, and Torbay, and Bideford and Tavistock lines. , Meetings have just been held of the Directors of the Black burn, Chorley, and Liverpool, and Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton lines, relative, it is rumoured, to an amalgamation of the two. - NEW LINE FROM WINDSOR To LONDON.—A. new line has just been projected.tO proceed. fm Windsor to Staines, with a branch from Datehet to. join,he Great Western. Rail way at. Slough. The atmospheric principle is to be adopted. ,% It is to p rocee d f rom a terminus near Windsor- bridge, cross ing• a portion of the Thames to an island in the centre of the stream, and thence over the remaining portion of the river to Datchet and Staines. - CONTINENTAL LINES. FAMPOUX -TO HAZEBRUCK.—The O'Neill Company has given orders to have this line staked out immediately, and it is expected that the works will be completed by the end of 1846. 5 % NEW COMPANIES.—In addition to the companies already in existence for the Paris to Lyons line —namely, Laffitte, -- Ganneron, L a ppi nsonn ie re, Calon, and the South-East, there _ are that of Uni on , f ormerly united with the Orleans Co _rn pang, but s i nce t h en :with the house of Rothschild, the _ Messageries, that got u p b y t h e o l d Directors of the Rosaniel Company for ' the North ;• the old Company Deccan, for the North ; And . the Vertant. The plan of the latter is to get a number of persons to subscribe, and then, when it appears 7 certain that the capital will be made up, to call a meeting of the sub scr ib ers, and out of them choose the Board of _.— Directors. From the Civil to St. Quentin line there are five companies in the fi e ld, v i z., Cysacus, Colbert, and Carette, all old, and A rnous, and Antoine, new. The Arnous Company = has made up it s cap i tal; of the latter but little is known, as = its prospectus is not yet out. For the. Lyons to Avignon line there are Talabot, Lecointe, and the Meridiouale, all old; - and that at the head of which is General Friant, the King's— aide-de-camp and an An g l o -F renc h Company. For the Tours to Nantes line there are six companies, viz., Mackenzi e , _ Carette, Drouillard, O'N e ill , an d L efebre, all old, and the coin pany Reigecourt just! constituted, formerly under the presi dentship of'Count de Sparre, since deceased. For the Great _ Western of France (from Paris to Rennes) there are three companies in the field; :that formed. by the junction o f th e two Versailles comp an i es ; anot h er formed by the Duke de la - - Force, and a thi r d, o f w hi ch b ut little is known, called the _ Company A n t o i ne , th e same as that mentioned for the Cecil and St. Quentin line. For Paris to Caen Railway there are two, that of Lafitte, Blount, and Co. ; and the other, Dela - marre, both some time formed. ROUEN TO HAVEE.--The report of the Prefect of the _ Department o f the Lower Seine confir ms a ll t h at has been said upon the sati s f ac t ory progress of the works on this - line, and states confidently that it will be opened in May next. - ; • • . PARIS Al.tD LYONS.—The starting point of this line has been decided upon ;it w ill run f rom the Rue Contrescarpe, - near the Bkstille, quitting Paris by Bercy and Charenton, and following the Valley of Yeres, will reach as far as Melun, — 41,,,i from whence it will take the direction of Montereau. This 2% plan is in accordance with the recommendation of M. Jullien, _ engineer in 'chief. BOULOGNE AND Aumrs.--The important question relative _ _ to the spot for the principal station of this line at Boulogne has been decided. Two plans have been proposed, one by M. Love, engineer, and the other by M. Bazaine. That by the - - latter has been p re f erred. The station is to be fixed upon an unoccupied !spot near Capecure, called Le Champ de Ma _ _ nceuvres. This spot has many recommendations for a station, and affords an easy access to the most important part of the town and quay. The Publicateur of Arles s t a te s th a t t h e works upon the railway at that place are being carried on with the greatest rapidity. Between Durance and Sarascon all the rails have _ _ been laid down, and between the latter place and Arles half the rails are now laid. At the viaduct of Arles, one of the most difficult and important works, fifteen piers have been founded, twelve are in a very advanced state, and three of the ..: arches are completed. There will be in all thirty-one arches. Within two months 24,000 metres of rails have been placed _ betweea Arles and the Coup Perdu, the limit of Jatres. FIFTY IOUSES BURNT.—Soon after Midnight, on Saturday morning last, a fire broke out in a bakehouse at Moretonhampstead (a small town situate about 12 miles from Exeter), and as nearly all the hotises were thatched, the flames spread with great rapidity, and were not subdued until the grater part of Cross -street was consumed, the num ber of houses destroyed amounting to about 50, and includ ing the prethises of Mr;.Bidder, a builder • Messrs. Nix and Co., drapers and the Golden Lion - Inn. The greater part of the property, however, was not of - a valuabl e ki n d, and the loss, therefOre, is not so extensive as the number of houses burnt would seem to indicate, though much distress will be occasioned to many poor families. The town engine was:not in a working state, so that the Only available means of stopping the'progress:of the fire was by pulling do wn s o me houses, until effective fird-engines arrived from EXeter. • Exchange, Ravin had under their consideration the te r STOCK: Committee of the proposal Stock elosing made by miny of the leading brokers for al Ist of next month. in the hours of business on and the at eleven o'clock in the fore of the mark ts, have agreed that an alteration shall be made The market will then open a second alteration that has . consequent upon the pressure noon and close at three occi be oc e k n in m t ad he e aft d e u n ri t n oo g n. th T e This last the of business iiitroduceextensive operations in byd ears that, the brokers l t i h n e g, late have not railway few securities' It appears half hour • months in the hours d of ((m lid the curtailment o the in the opening and closing first blade sufficient to transact , the counting-house tof theiribusiness, and have, therefore, agreed among themselves shorten "market hours," if . possible, to give them more time for the arrangement of their correspondence . before the Eitchange opens and-after it shuts. - The enormous increase of orders produced by the extent of speculation in the provinceS,as well as i n th e metropolis, has so multiplied business, that' many of the brokers new receive and dispatch between 300 and 400. letters per diem. It is, therefore, essen. tial that they should be allowed a little extra time to arrange their orderS for. sale or 'purchase in the morning, and also to advise their correspondents of the success or failure of their. operations. ,Under these circumstances it is that the change was desired and has been agreed to.—Advertiser. DETERMINED StiiclDE:'--Monday morning, about half-past sit o'clock, Mts. Eliiabeth Harley, of No. 6, New Union-street, Moorfields, committed suicide. During Sunday nothing particular was observed in her manner; she supped with her daughters, and about ten o'clock retired to bed as was supposed, without making any remark. Yesterday morn ing, the time h av i ng l ong p assed when she should have been tobreakfast,. one of.her daughters went to her bedroom, but could not•get in until the door was broken 'open, where her unfortunate parent was found suspended by a ,handkerchief to the bed-rails, Miss Harley instantly 'cut her down, but ;she was quite deAti.
