Towards the development of commerce there is ab solutely nothing of course more rt quidte than the opening up of new lines of communication. To this end, therefore, the efforts of persons interested in the advancement of mercantile enterprise are, as a mat ter of course, perpetually directed. Formerly this was the case among all intelligent:communities. Now a-days, it is still more generally the custom, in con sequence of those marvellous facilities to locomotion which have• been afkrded by the invention of the steam-engine, Aided by railroads and by vessels fitted out on the new principle, the traders of the world have found themselves enabled to accomplish more in the way of exportation and importation than could ever have been dreamed of even by an imagination such as that of Sir Epicure 'Mammon, when the Do- an galleys were yet glidiig over the gulf of Genoa, when the Doges yet pasted in procession through the streets of Venice to celebrate their nuptials with the Adriatic, while enthusiasts yet cherished a beliefin the ruby pebbled rivulets of Cathay, and in ehe golden palaces of El Doradc. Still, notwithstanding all that has been accomplished in the way of developmentsince the practical genius of WATT first opened those gi gantic paths of intercourse, infinitely greater benefits in the way of promoting that intercourse remain yet to - be secured, and still more wonderful achieved:lents are capable of being compassed and brought to a state of rnaturitty. With the intention of seizing those advantages as speedily as possible, engineering skill has now fur some tieno been directed from the interior of our own country to adjacent territories, and through those territories to the most dis tant qnerters of the habitable globe. Esti mates have been made of the cost likely to be incurred in the prosecution of great public works at the other extremity of Africa and on the opposite shores of the Atlantic. Scientific men have examined into the practicability of opening ship canals between the two great oceans in the one direction, and in the other between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. According to a beautiful analogy in geographical con formation, which has been recently pointed out by an iregenieus writer,* as being observable in the general aspect of our planet, it is found that " the southern continents are chiefly peninsular, being joined at one of their northern angles to an adjacent continent." An instant's thought.wi I remind the reader that such is proved to be the case by the neck of land con nectiog Africa with Asia, and by the similar bond of union joinir k e with each other the northern and soutie.rn continents of A merica. Until such times as these barriers between the seas and oceans shall be so far cut th.rough as to present navigable channels of icte rcommunicatien, two enormous of tacles will continue to imps de the cemme! ce of the eastern and western hemispheres. Such being tndiaputably the case, nothing should, of course, be disregarded by the enterprising, R hich cAI in any manner tend to the realization of the des:red improvement. Already we have repeatedly directed the attention of the public to the project of constructing a ship canal across ' the Isthmus of Panama. Less frequently, but also at intervals, we have, T'HE SIIN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, on one or two occasions, coif imented upon a aimilar echeme for the severs• ice , by a like channel, of the Isthmus of Suez. (Jr ;the enormous advantages which would forthwit'n res ult from the performance of these feats of enfsineering science, it would be idle to attempt any explicit enumeration. The benefits derivable from either acre sufficiently obvious in themselves, removing all .necessity for the perilous voyages now necessarily made round the Cape of Good Hope and the southern shores of Terra del Fuego. Of the practicability of either scheme it would be se: truly less super fluous to speak in the way of demonstration, that having been virtually acknowledged long since by those acquainted with the r esources of modern science. In testimony of this i‘t is only requisite to refer to the intention, now for a considerable period entertained, of carrying both ideas into actual opera tion. A number of practical men, not mere enthu siast, but m; n of practical sagacity, have from time to time raised the project in reference to Panama. NAPOLEON dreamed of running a ship-canal through the sands of Suez. ManolucT ALT entertained the same determination. Since their reigns the notion has not lost any of its attractiveness ; on the contrary, it is now none the whit less feasible, and, more than ever, the object of fascination. Supposing the latter canal once opened, an immediate and marvellous impulse would be at once given to the trade between Great Britain and the Red See, and the Persian Gulf and the east coast of Africa. A transit trade of 305,714 tons p-r annum each way, at a toll of seven shillings per ton, would be sufficient to produce the means essential to the carrying out of the undertaking, namely, 214,2001. Of this gross re venue 64,200/. would be devoted to current ex penses and contingencies, leaving 150,0001. as the dividend upon the necessary capital of 1,500,0001. taken at 10 per cent. Such are the most rational calculations yet made as to the project of a canal between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. From the Bay of Tineh on the latter to Suez on the former, the navigation would extend a distance of eighty-five miles in length, with a current running through the cut at the rate of from two to three miles an hour, and always from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. By means alternately of sailing vessels, steam-tugs, and screw-propellers this line of communication might always be rendered available in either direction. Having recalled this matter once more to general recollection, we would again impress upon all men of engineering science and mercantile enterprise the importance to British commerce of such canals across Suez and Panama. * Mr. George Smith Brent, F.R.G S.L., in the first section of his "Notes on a Map of the World. Fasci culus I. On the Configuration of Continents." Bvo., pp. 16. Brettell, London: 1850. What is the object of penal laws? Is it that society wishes to avenge itself on an offender, or that it is desirable to prevent the repetition of similar prac tices ? If Sir SAMUEL RomILLT was right in stating that it was " the protection and security of the innocent, and that the punishment of the guilty is resorted to only as the means of attaining that end," there can be but little doubt as to the answer that must be returned to that interrogatory. That " prevention is better than punishment " has long been received as a self-evident proposition. It may, how ever, be carried even to this extent—that, except for the purpose of prevention, punishment cannot possibly be justified. Tile entire spirit of the Christian religion is opposed to the desire for revenge. Its most sublime precepts are founded in the forgive. ness of injuries. " Vengeance is mine, saith the LORD, I will repay." And although the feeling is deeply implanted in the human heart, it is at least but a portion of our fallen nature that should be discouraged as far as practicable. We feel justified then in asserting that the "sole object of punishment is to deter from a repetition of the crime." ‘Vhenever it fails to attain that end, remedies of a different character must be applied. It d)es not follow that those remedies should be more stringent than those formerly in operation. Experience has proved that the extreme penalty ot death did not prevent the commission of larcenies and other comparatively minor offences; for which the perpetra tors forfeited their lives in "the good old times." All right-minded persons were horrified at the constant repetition of the revolting spectacles of human beings in the full vigour and strength of their existence being strangled on the gallows. The penal laws have been materially altered during the last quarter of a century. They no longer emulate the Draconic code, which might be said to be written in letters of blood, con demning every offender to be cut off from rmong the people, and yet crime has not increased! Since the tenour of the punishment has been abated new measures of precaution have been adopted. Persons do not rely for the protection of their property merely on " fear ;" they are obliged to guard it with greater vigilance, so that the chances of success are diminished, while those of "detection," and if so, of "punishment," are greatly increased. Numbers of criminals having been suf fered to escape altogether in the olden time, rather than be exposed to such disproportionate punishment, as excited the sympathies of the people in favour of the offender, rather than of the law he had violated. Tried by this test, then, it cannot be denied that the practice of summary convictions, and inflicting corporal punishment on juvenile offenders, has failed to attain its object. When once a youth has entered upon a course of " thieving " as a profession he can not be retrieved merely by flogging, or imprisonment with hard labour. Something more must be at tempted if any effort is to be made for his redemp tion; he must be separated from his evil companions and in structed in the mode of earning an honest livelihood by his.own industry. Under the present system an unfortunate child, without friends or relatives to shelter or protect him, is detected in some paltry theft, brought before the magistrates, summarily convicted, and sentenced to a few days' imprisonment, and to be " well whipped." He is discharged ; but nothing is done to divert his infant mind into a better direction. He has no means of ob taining the common necessaries of life ; no one will employ him with a blasted character, and he must " thieve" in order to gain his livelihood. Again and again the same thing occurs. He becomes familiar with every House of Correction, and indifferent to the lash. He is unquestionably tortured a great deal, but he preys upon society, and costs far more, to use no higher argument, than would have done to direct him into the paths of industry, if adequate measures were taken for that purpose when his destitute condition first became known to the autho rities. At length he is convicted, after numerous trials, of some offence that justifies a sentence of transportation, and then, but not till then, he is sent to Parkhurst, and steps are taken to reclaim him, who by that time has become a hardened and expe rienced thief. A strong illustration was afforded of such a case at Hickb's Hall, on Tuesday. Two boys were convicted of picking pockets in St. James's Park, on the lith instant, during the prorogation of Parliament. The following history was given of one of them, aged fourteen years : " Lockyer, one of the officers of the Westminster House of Correction, replied that he could give the Court the history of the boy Durkin, which, he added, was rather an eventful one. It was as follows:—On the 19th of May, 1848, he was committed for two days, and was well whipped. On the 3d of June following he was committed for four days, and was well whipped. On the 221 of the same mon h he was again committed for two days, and was well whipped. Oa the 31 of July sue needing he was committed for 14 days, and was whipped. On the 9th of March, 1849, he was committed for three months, and was again whipped. Oa the 10. h of Novem ber, in the same 3 ear, he was committed for ten days. On the 29th of that month he was committed for one month; on the 6th of April, 1850, he was once more committed for one month, and was well whipped. On the llth of May, having been out of pris , .n but five days, he was committed for two months• which term Of imprison ment expired on the 11th of July, and, basing come out from his confinement, on that very day he was again convicted of picking pockets, when he was for the tenth time sentenced to imprisonment for the period of one month, and to be v ell at hipped. From that imprisobT ment the boy was released on the 11th of the present month, and four days afterwards, namely, on the 'lsth, he was apprehended upon the present charge." What chance, we ask, was there for that wretched lad during any portion of that time ? What advanr tage was derived from the various summary convic tions—the repeated floggings to which he was sen tenced ? Would it not have been far better if he bad, on the 19th of May, 1848, been brought before a jury and then sent to Parkhurst? We believe no person who reads the above melancholy narrative will differ from that opinion, and will not concur with us in saying tl punithment." iat " prevention is better than THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They all contain long extracts from the English journals, narra , ing the death of Lours PHILIPPE. The Republique says, " He carries into the tomb with him the crowned forehead of the last King of the French ;" while the Journal des Debats thus com ments on the death of that monarch of whose rule and policy it was certainly the most talented, and, we believe, the most honest supporter. The Debats says : " Melancholy news, too surely foreseen for some time past, was yesterday received in Paris, where it produced a general and painful impression. King Louis Philippe died on Monday, at Claremont, in the 77th year of his age.. We have a right to here express, without any reserve, the bitter regret and deep sffii c ti on w hi c h the death f this last King cf Constitutional France causes us. We have always honoured, supported, and served him. His cause, which was that of representative mo narchy, was our own; we honoured his person—we de fended his policy. But we do not know whether there exists in France and in Europe an honest party, an avowable opinion, a man cf feeling who does not, with us, feel regret at this sad end of a Prince who, after having secured to his country the most calm and the most prosperous eighteen ears of its history, went to die in a foreign land, bef re his time, it may be said; for his old age was still green and vigorous; but neither the vigour of his health nor the strong spirit of his mind were sufficient to bear up against the ingratitude of his country. Not only has the life of King Louis Philippe terminated in exile—it has been shortened by exile. If his heart bad been less French, the Kiog who saved France in 1830, and whom France abandoned in 1848—he whom the great alarm of French society bad raised as a buckler in July, and whom a caprice of the country overthrew eighteen year. afterwards—this King, if be had not been an honest man, public misfortune would have well avenged after February. Had he been less of a patriot than he was, he would have triumphed at the ruin, the humiliations, the disasters, and the disgraces of all kinds, which vio lently succeeded his peaceful and honoured reign ! He would have triumphed at these sanguinary struggles to which factions, unchained by the tall of his Throne, gave themselves up over its ruins. But at all these misfor tunes, which were like a demonstration, which Provi dence, justly severe, wished to give of the wisdom of his policy, the King only felt the most bitter 11 Effie t ion. The striking justification which the catastrophe of February gave him, supported his conscience; it desolated his heart and shortened his lite. It is this which makes us think that we shall not be alone in regretting and deploring the death of the King. His cause was, before his fall, that of constitutional monarchy; it became after Febru ary that of society itself." 'The Assemblie Nationale says—" We have been informed that the body of Louis PHILIPPE will not be transported to Dreux. The Princes of the Orleans family have refused to entrust to any one the duties which the loss of the head of their family imposes on them." The PRESIDENT of the Republic left Metz on the morning of the 27th ; be was to visit Verdun, sleep at Chalons-sur-Marne, proceed to Rheims on Wed nesday, and return to the Ely. , :ee on Thursday evening. . The Afoniteur publishes a circular from the Minis ter of the Interior to the Prefects of the Departments with respect to the business to which the attention of the Councils- General ought to be directed. He strongly recommends economy of the departmental funds, and gives some advice with respect to local taxation. He makes no allusion to the questio vexata uf the revision of the Constitution, unless the folloe.ing general re commendation with which he closed his circular should be considered as including it :—" In closing, I request you once more, Monsieur to Prt f!ct, to second the views of the Government by the most serious and the most severe examination of all the projects which in any degree whatsoever can affect the fortune of the department." The Bulletin de Paris contains a notice of the Nepaulese Ambassador, from which we extract as follows : " The Ambassador is accompanied by his two brothers, and has a suite of 20 persons. He is only , 26 years of age, but he is already a distinguished gene ral, and is considered one of the most intelligent men of his country. He appreciates the diplomatic attentions that he has received here, tut expresses an earnest de- sire to see the President of the Republic before his de parture, which is at present fixed for the 29th instant. In his own language be said, When will the Sove reign President return ? ' and his interpreter replied that it would be possible for him to be presented to the President berore his departure. .He then said, It is well, fur my nation and myself have a great venera tion for the name of the Emperor, whose courage and exploits we admire.' General Changarnier and his suite have paid him a visit, as also the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, and he was much flattered at this mark of attention by the Government. The Turki,h Ambassador had previously called upon him. It is difficult, however, to make the Ambas sador comprehend that France is a Republic, and cannot offer him the same splendid fifes as Queen Victoria when he was in London. Ihe Ambassador and his suite have expressed a wish to conform as mueh as pos ,siole in Europe to the religious usages of Ind a, which rcquire that the Princes should themselves immolate the animels destined for their food, but they have expeti need great obstacles. It has been erroneously stated in the journals that the animals are slaughtered daily in the yard of the Hco;;e1 Sleet. It is true that the Prefect of Police has given permission for this to be done, but neither Paris nor the bardieue have furnished the kind of animals fit for immolation according to the prescrip• Lions of the Indian religion. The AninassaJor asked for a fat male deer, of from one to three years old, but could not obtain it. Several females were brought, but these would not do. As yet neither he nor his suite have killed any animal. Their mode of living is very sin gular. There must be as many rooms as there are per sons, for each must eat alone. As yet their only animal food in Paris has been a little game. Their principal food is fish and vegetables. On the return of the Presi dent of the Republic, he will offer a grand fete to the Ambassador. if he can postpone his departure." A letter from Cherbourg of the 25th says : _ _ " The 21 division of the squadron has not - yet arrived. The maritime authorities are so astonished that they in tend sending out to seek it. The Magellan steamer, which put into port on the 18th for repairs, went out on the 22d.

A letter from Berlin of the 26th says : " Mr. Von Sydow, in the sitting of the Provincial Congress of the Princes of the Bund, presented three new dispatches from the Austrian Government, viz :- 1. The invitation addressed to the Peruvian Minister for Foreign Affairs to send to Frankfort representatives to a federal assembly charged with the functions of the limited council of the Diet. 2 and .3. The replies of Austria to the propositions of Prussia on the subject of Germany, and the passage of the Baden troops within the precincts of the fortress of Mayence, on their way to Prussia." . The Peace Congress was still sitting at Frankfort. It was expected to break up on Wednesday or Thursday. The Assembly of Hesse Cassel met on the 23d. Deputy Bayrhoffer was elected president by a ma - jority of 1, the votes being, for Bsyrhoffer, 23 ; and for Schwarzenberg, 22. M. Coster was elected vice president by the same m.jority. Messrs. Reineeke and Maurs were appointed secretaries to the House. The committee on elections consists of Messrs. Cos ter, Knobel, Grafen, Moller, SAwarzenberg, and Eberhard. The president and vice-president are of democratic opinions; the secretaries belong to 'the constitutional party. The journey of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. to the Tyrol is deferred.

RUSSIA. The St. Petersburgh official journal of the 17th contains a magniloquent account of a victory said to have been obtained by the Russian General, BELGARD, over the Lesginen tribe in the Caucasus. We are inclined to doubt the truth of this statement, inas much as while General BELGARD states the Lesginen loss to have been 320 killed, 600 wounded, and 87 prisoners, out of a force of 4,000 men, he declares his own loss to have been two men killed, and nineteen wounded; he at the same time states that the Lesginens occupied a position almost impregnable when he at tacked them; and yet he would have the world be lieve that he drove 4,000 men from an almost im pregnable position with a loss to himself of two killed and nineteen wounded only. Orders have been given for the Russian army in Poland to advance along the Prussian frontier about fifty miles. ITALY. Several of the most eminent lawyers have ben summoned to Turin, to aid in drawing up the new marriage law. Several persons have been arrested at Rome, charged with being concerned in a supposed conspiracy. The King of NAPLES has ordered the trial of the persons charged with being of the Society of the United Italy to be suspended. While PECUENADA, the police agent, arrests every one who his raised the cry of " Long live the Constitutional King," General NUNZIATE orders them to be set at liberty, as the cry is perfectly legal. ALARMING FlRE.—This morning a fire, which at one time threatened the lives and property of a large number of persons, broke cut, shortly before twelve o'clock, in a narrow passage leading from Drury-lane to Endell street, and well known as Brokers'••nrn. The fire first broke out in the first floor of ➢lr. Wilson, furniture-dealer. Great fears were at one time entertained tar the Brownlow Arms public house, but the timely arrival of the firemen stopped the flames from extending any further. At the time we write the firemen are playing upon the burning ruins. THE COURT AND THE ROYAL YACUTS.The Court will not again visit Osborne - till after its return from Scot land, about the Bth of October next. The royal yachts have all come up to Portsmouth Harbour. The Victoria and Albert has returned the state barges into store in Portsmouth Dockyard, and will probably return her furniture and go up the harbour in a few days, as her services will not be likely to be again called into requisition this summer. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester has arrived at Plas Newydd, Anglesey, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. His Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen left town on Tuesday evening, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at Abergeldie Castle, Aberdeenshire. The Countess of Lichfield and Lady Harriet Anson have arrived in town, from Tunbridge Wells. THE DRAINAGE ACT.—Upwards of ten pages of the Edinburgh Gazette of Friday last were occupied with a list published by the Inclosure Commissioners, of the appli cations for money under the Drainage Act, to be applied to land in Scotland. The number of applications is 172, and the-total-amount - applied--for 320,0521. The sum voted by the Act is two millions, of which one-fourth, 500,0001., was allowed to Scotch proprietors, so that a large sum still re mains usapplied for. Grants are limited to 5,0001., and out of the 172 applications, eighteen are for the highest sum allowed. The newsvendors of Manchester and Salford have formed an association to watch over the interests of the trade The American papers state that the last scenes of the popular branch of this Parliament were not calculated to illustrate the dignity of constitutional legislatures, but were, on the contrary, of the most disgraceful nature. It is stated that the majority of the Members were drunk, and amused themselves by making paper bullets and flinging them at each other's cheeks and noses. One of them, being more drunk than the rest, resented this treatment and threatened to respond by throwing inkstands, but his anta gonists appeased him, and then pelted him .by stealth, so that he could not tell who to throw at in turn. Meanwhile the few who were sober, or partially so, were passing laws with railroad speed. IMPORTATION OF WINE FROM THE UNITED STATES.—The American line-of-packet ships arriving in the London Docks from New York continue to bring large quan tities of wine, the produce of the south of Europe, es part of their cargoes, for reasons which nuke it more advantageous to carry the s% ine twice across the Atlantic than to import it direct. The packet-ship Margaret Evans, just arrived in the docks from New York, has brought 39 pipes and 58 other casks, and the packet-ship Cornelius Grinnel, arrived from the same place, 3 i pipes and 119 other casks of port wine, as portions of their cargoes, consigned to wine-houses in the metropolis. ALARMING OCCURRENCR.—Yesterday afternoon a portion of the new building in course of erection at the cor ner of New Oxford-street, Tottenham-court .road, fell with a tremendous crash. A large quantity of the material tell on the footpath and the roadway, and several persons who hap pened to be passing were seriously injured. A FAMILY REAPING PARTY.—On Saturday, in a wheat field, situate near the Cross Gate, adjacent to the town of llminster, were to be seen a father and his ten sons reaping. The field is rented by one of the sons, and by his request his father and his brothers helped to reap. The father is an athletic man, named Wm. Mullins, aged 65 years His sons' names and ages are—John, 40; William, 38 ; - Noah and .James (twins), 36; Esau and Jacob (twins), :-34; Ma thew, 32 ; Henry, 30 ; Robert, 28 ; and Emanuel. 22 years. The sons are all fine and robust men, and, on an average, stand 5 feet 11 inches each. A great many persons went from the town to see them reap, and the bells of our venera ble church rang two peals On the occasion.— Western Flying I Post. HOLYUFAD HARBOUR. The Government have completed the purchase of all the ground and property re quisite for the construction of the new harbour here, and the whole of the works will be pushed forward with the utmost expedition, nearly 1,500 men being constantly engaged in the various operations. The engineers are proceeding rapidly with the extension of the sea-wall at the north rn breakwater, and are also progressing with the erection of the stages. Many thousands of cubic feet of stone are now ready for the commencement and erection of the immense sea-wall; and fresh supplies are daily obtained from the lofty heights that overhang the harbour, where extensive quarrying operations are being carried on. The material thus obtained, when thrown down into the breakwater, forms masses from 10 to 50 feet in thickness. The estimated cost of this new harbour, which will consist of 316 acres of sea-room, is 700,0001., and of this sum the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company this s s l r i e a s b r l o e ns t ib o ili t t h y e . _ ext c e h ri c t sti o r co r of 200,0301.; but the measure introduced into P ar li amen t h as - - relieved aan.t the company of hi POST-OFFICE ITEM.—About 80,000 letters and newspar ers were received at Liverpool from America, and dispatched from Liverpool to America, on Saturday week. This number was exclusive of those letters and newspapers contained in the mails made up in America for London, and made up in London for America, which are not opened as they pass through Liverpool —Liverpoo!

Among other visitors whom we may expect at the Great Exhibition next year will be a German chorus, made up of many Leedertafel societies, rivalling in number the never to-be-forgotten C olo g ne g atherin g (a n assemblage of performancesmore than 2 in ,M to form a new and direct road from Brom p ton to Notting hill and Bayswater. by p ullin g down some houses in High street, exactly oppos ite the Queen's-road. T RINITY COLLEGE, CAMBE/DGE, AUG. 26 — At a 0 L ondon. voices), IMFBOVRAIENTS A T KENSINGTON.—It is intended the intention of which is to give Carus, M.A. meeting of the 080), Fellow niors of the this Colle y, the ge, was elected a Master and S, da Rev. Wm. Senior Fellow of the Society. The Manchester subscriptions for a monument to the memory of Sir R. Peel amount to b,0501., of which 4,0001. has been paid in. The incumbency of St. Paul's Chapel, Lambeth, has been conferred on the Rev. John Goring, 8.A., of Trinity College, Dublin. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—The Lords of her Majesty's Treasury having been pleased, by a warrant, dated the 30th July, 1850, to authorize the use of postage-stamps for the payment of letters forwarded to the Unit e d Kingdom by seamen on board her Majesty's ships at foreign stations, all seamen's letters which may hereafter reach this country in bags made up on board any of her Majesty's ships will be delivered free, provided the postage of one penny to which they are liable be paid by means of a postage stamp affixed to such letters. In those cases where bags of seamen's let ters are brought to the United Kingdom by private ships, the gratuity of two pence payable by law to the master, will still be chargeable upon each letter, unless such sum of two pence, in addition to tbe postage _of one penny, be paid by the seaman by means of postage stamps. It must of course be understood that all the conditions laid down by law, under which the letters of seamen are transmitted at a reduced rate of postage, must be duly complied with as respects the letters to which the present regulation refers. Seamen will be supplied with postage stamps by the purser of the vessel to welch they are attached. POOLE ELEcTrox..—We understand that Mr. Savag e, at home, the Protectionist candid a t e , has withdrawn from the contest, and wisely determining to protect his own breeches being of opinion that p ro tection, like charity, should begin pocket. Mr. Illontague Merryweather Turner (who is most appriipriately named) is in the field as a Protectionist; he having at the last election come forward nominaby as a Free trader, but really, it would appear for the purpose of di viding the free-trade i n t er est, in order to let Protectionist Robinson slip in, a feat which he accomplished most effec tually, for had the fifty-three votes wh ich he p o l le d been added to the poll of Mr. Hutchins, the Protectionist would have been defeated. The canvass of Mr. Seymour is, we understand, most satisfactory, and there is no doubt but that he will be returned by a large majority, should Mr. Turner venture to go to the pall. NEW RAILWAY BRIDGE OVER THE WM—The site of this additional bridge will be a short distance, below the old one, and the staple material will be iron, the casings of the piers being of that article; or rather the piers will be formed of iron tubes filled up with concrete. The first ob jects that attract the notice at present are the great and novel works constructed for sinking in the river the cast-iron piers, the foundation of which is upon the solid rock at the bottom of the Wye. The piers on the land side are six feet in dia. meter, and those in the water eight feet. They are bolted together in sec ions, and will be filled with concrete as soon as the workmen have excavated the rock and sand beneath the iron rim, so as to ensure an equal foundation at the base. On the top of these iron-cased piers will be placed the road way for carrying the trains of the South Wales Railway over the river to Glouoester ; but w hether it will be by a tube, or by a partly suspended medium , the spectator has no means of ascertaining, except that a tube is being made similar to it up, so that at the bridge over the Severn on the Gloucester and Forest of Dean Railway, and made of large iron plates. The greatest difficulty in this new construction at Chepstow appears to be from the water pouring so fast into the iron piers that it requires a large steam-engine to pump as s to enable the men to work under the iron, and thereby secure an uniform and solid foundation.—llereford Times.

The Cotton market at Liverpool closed flatly yester day, with all descriptions id. lower, and low qualities of American id. to id. per lb. lower. The sales were esti mated at from 3,500 to 4,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for export. The sales comprised 50 Bahia at Bid , 200 Surat 51d. to 6d., and 100 Sea Island at ls. 2d. to la. 9d. per lb.—Railway Shares were steady. The sale of Wheat last week in the markets which make official returns were 81,760 quarters. Advice, of May 18th hare been received by a vessel direct from Wellington, New Zealand. Complaints are made of the excessive expenditure, viz., about 4,0001. per quarter, while the income was but 3,0001. Taking the year, the excess of expenditure was 3,4381. It is further made the subject of complaint that Sir George Grey hao not appropriated to the making of roads the sum granted by Parliament last year. The trade of the port was improving. Two vessels had cleared out during tie season for England, lad• n with the produce of New Ze:laud, and three vessels hart left for California, with full cirgoes, while others were preparing to follow. First flour was 164. to 20s. per 1001bs. Beef 3d. to 63. per lb. At Amsterdam en the 27th inst. there was nothing particular doing in Dutch Stock. The Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. were 57 3-16. Spanish Bonds were in request. Accounts from St. Petersburgh furnish us with the interesting statement or budget of the Minister of Fi nance. From this it would appear that there were issued last year four new series of treasury bonds, each series amounting to 3,000,000 eilverroubles in order to pay the expenses of the Hungarian war. The loans made, and constituting new debt, inscribed in the " great boek" last year, amounted to 14,732 750 silver roubles, and the total debt is returned at 336.219,492 roubles, the annual interest on which is 23 978,039. The capital of the sinking fund is 55,500,000 roubles. The Imperial Loan Bank has a capital of 8,700,000 roubles. The loans on securities amount to 284,000,000 roubles. The circulation on the 23d January last was 300,000,000 roubles, and the amount of the precious metals 136,009,000 roubles. The savings' banks have deposited with them 1,233,000 roubles, including the accumulated interest. The meeting of Spanish Bondholders, held yesterday, attracted, as was to be expected, a numerous attendance, and much curiosity was expressed to learn what would be the recommendation of the committee. It was felt that the present would be an important occasion, and it was hoped, too, that it might be the last upon which the bondholders would be assembled fur the mere purpose of acquiescing in fresh sacrifices. Some approach to an equitable compromise was observable in the fact that the Junta of Public Credit at Madrid, warned by the manifestation of indig nation when a remorseless and shameless confication of capital was proposed, has presented a modified project, which, setious as are the concessions proposed under it, still has the merit of leaving the capital intact. Upon the arrears of interest there is a great reduction, but it is needless to go through the scheme mi nutely, as the bondholders have adopted the proposals of their own committee, to the effect, that for every 1001. of Active Stock and the 10 yi ars' arrears of dividends, due on the Ist November next, being 501. sterling, 150/. of Active Stock shall be given, to commence bearing interest at 1 per cent. per annum, from the Ist January, 1851, and increase ss. per cent. every second year until it reaches 3 per cent.; while for every 100/. of Passive Stock 331. 65. BJ. of Active Stock, bearing the same in terest es above stated, shall be given. Mr. Weisweiler, the agent of Messrs. Rothschild, who has acted for the bondholders, deserves well of them, and Lords Palmerston and Bowden have also rendered good service, so that we are really sanguine of a good result. The Spanish Government must, for very peace sake. de) something. The English Stock Market is exceedingly inanimate. Consols have been 96i. to for Transfer, and 96j for Account. The New Toree-and a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 98- to 99i ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities 97 to *. Bank Stock has been at a rise to 215 and 216. Exchequer-bills are 654. to 68s. premium. In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds ore more buoyant; the Five per Cents. have realised 18-i ; and tt e Three per Cents, are at about 37i. Portuguese Four per Cents. are worth 33 to 34. Mexican are e.lled 29i s ; and Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 81 to 82. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57i to Hallway Shares are rather buoyant, and the traffic returns are mostly good. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, were io round figures as under:- 1850. Great Western 1849. 16, I 50 North-Westcrn South• Western 45,753 11,015 Brighton Midland 24 262 23,440 Dover 1 6 .890 ... 13,886 In a comruunicatiou from Manchester by Messrs. J. Railton and Sons, it is remarked - upon railway matters that— " All reflecting persons may easily conceive the de gree in which Goaernmental interference may confuse and harass the economy of a railway concern, however slightly the at . empt be made; but none can forget the practical injury to railway interest s hen Government looked tamely on while Parliament in 1845 let loose its unguarded power to create an excess of new rail way schemes, chiefly unrequited, inducing a necesssity for new capital impossible to raise; and which, in very numerous instances have been wisely withdrawn under the Abandonment Act, after creating disputes to be set. tied in Ch ancery, of the most shuffling and disgraceful nature, alike humiliating to the dignity of Parliament and the lolly of impetuous gamblers. For Government to set loose a new set of officia;s in any form, to fasten on railway affa . rs, would be as fatal to the interests of shareholders as are the followers of an army on the heels of retreating troops, who kill the wounded and carry off the spoil. Surely such madness will not again be attempted, or shareholders suffer the disgrace for its absolute necessity! Every man must now hold by his case; and suerly no present director will flinch from his imperative duty until it Is faithfully and honourably performed." QUARTER TO THREE.
