fRIEF STATEMENT of the ELEMENTS of CREDIT of the CINCINNATI and ST. LOUIi RAILWAY. GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION. This real, from the State of Ohio to that of Missouri, unites Cincinnati and St. Louis, the two great focal cities of the West, and Fes ctrectly across the great centre of commerce formed by the livers Ohio, Missouri, and Platte, in their course to the Mississippi. It is also a direct extension of the ever-increasing line of traffic from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and hence will form a link, and the Most important one, in the great trunk road which, at no distant day, must unite those oceans. THE TERMINAL CITIES. Cincinnatti and St. Louis have risen to power, wealth, and plpula • tion, with a rapidity hitherto unegmlled, even in the new world. The decennial increase per cent. of Cincinnati', for the decade end ing 1850, was no less than 150 per eent., and for St. Louis it reached 400 per cent., while the cities of New York and Philadelphia have never reached above 82 per cent., and in the decade bringing up the 1 0 Pulation to 125,000, New York reached 32 and Philadelphia 13 per celit• The present ponulation of Chichmatti, by census just trig en, Amounts t,) more than 161,000 within her corporate limits, and iises abo-e 200,000, including the suburbs. Vie population of at. Louis is 10 - . .000 in round numbers. TIM STATES CONNECTED. The Cincinnatti and St. Louis Railway unites the powerful free States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois—States which have grown in Population and wealth with astonishing rapidity. The cr.ln crops or in 1851, amounted to no less than 170,000,000 of bushels of Indian corn, and 49,000.000 bushels of win at. The production of cattle, hogs, butter, cheese., tobacco, end seeds, is likewise enormouQ. Of the above, the surplus a'one amounts to no less than 3,00-,000 of tons —au amount of tonn-ge greater titan double that transported on all of the railw :3 - s of the State of New York. The exports from Cincitutatti and St. Louis, anti intermediate points, in flour, beef, 'whisky; salt, &c , &c , reached to 500,000 tons weight per annum ; and the way freight along the line, moved from point to point, cannot be less. So much for domestic produce. The g r oceries, merchandise, and manufactures of tincinnatti and St. Lout., distributed to various points, amounts to 110,000 tons. Hence We have no lest than 4,110,n00 tolls of frei;ht furnished by the sur- Plus produce of the four St 'tea, and by the commerce of Cincinnatti and 't. Louis, from which it is not difficult to determine about how lunch will be fairly due to this railway. TRIBUTARY LINES In the city of Cinchmat:, as t 3 a focus, converge nn lest than six great Pnes of eastern railway, viz., the Cincinnatti, Dayton, and Toledo line ; the Cincinnatti, Sprimfield, and Sandusky line ; the Ci nclnnstri, Columbus, Cleveland, and New York line; the Cincin natti, Zanesville, Ilempfield, and Philadelphia route; the Cincin natti, Marietta, Wheeling, and Philadelphia line. All these various "nee must pour tht ir contributions of passenge s Into the Cincinnatti and St. Louis R oa d, as th e mo st direct road leading west an I south. _We cross the following lines of railway, each of which will contri bUtefreight and passengers : — Commencing at Cincinnatti , and pro ceeding west, the Lawreneeoureh and Indianapolis, the 61 adiscn and In dianapolis, the Jeffersonville and Indianapolis, New Albany and Evansville and Terre . Haute, and the Central Illinois. At th St . among Louis th ere w i l l concen t ra te a large number of railways from e west, - which the Pacific Railway is now rapidly construct "lg, With means to build it to the western boundary of Missouri. THROUGH PASSENGERS. an. " 6 Will be contributed from the following sources :—Eastern t u ,'""a3 s, steam-boats down and up the Ohio river to Cincinnatti, ed; - 412.„the Si l , .sissippi river to Cincinnati' and St. Louis, and inter. 41 .""e Points. During the year 1851 more than a million of pas -I—ssera were carries in steam-boats to and from Cincinnatti and ;ft. .Weoi, and other places in the valley of the Ohio aed e estimate of these not less than 153,006 will be through passer gars on ou r road adding one•fourth for increase, we have about ho °'" through passengers. The lateral passengers are derived rn the Illinois Central, the Evansville, the New Albany, the Jeffer. sonville, and other roads, and cannot fall much below 100 , 000 to be c arried over two-thirds the length of the road. WAY PASSENGERS. The ratio of way passengers to density of population of surface drained;, as determined from the statistics of the Pennsylvania Cen ral, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the incinnatti and Columbus Rail loads, is found to be 0'63. The elements of the Cincinnatti and St. Li olds road are as follows : Length of line., 335 miles. ( S quare miles of surface.. ..drained,. . about 30 miles wide 10,200 population of surface, Cincinnatti and St. Louis 512,626 n sitY, P e r Square mil e Ratio—• as above .... 0'63 fay Passengers, deduced per square mile • • 3l A ggregate of way passengers ...... ...............• 316,200 ESTIMATES OF FREIGHTS. co i rnpute that, of the surplus products of Indiana, Illinois, and one.,P•ur w e may expect to carry one-quarter the surplus of Indiana, Mis souri; th the surplus of' Illinois, and one-tenth the surplus of leaving. the large amount from Ohio to make up any defi ciency in the estimates. This does not involve coal, timber, iron, and other minerals, which are •also left to fill deficiencies, should any exist. We then have domestic produce—groceries and manufac tures—eqnal to 375,069 tons, which, for safety, are assumed to be carried only oste-half the length of the road. PRICES ASSUMED FOR FREIGHTS AND PASSENGERS. We 13x, as the basis of calculation, the following prices, viz.:— Through passengers, 6 dols., or less than two cents a mile; 5 dols.

A concession has been obtained by Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, from the King of Denmark, for the construction of a system of railways to be called the Royal Danish Railway, which shall gradually be extended through the whole of the peninsula, affording, with the lines already completed in Holstein, a continuous railway communicai ion from Hamburg to Frederikshaven, opposite to Gothen burg, whence a line is in course of construction to Stockholm. he terms of the concession are peculiarly favourable, the line being secured in perpetuity, with a guarantee against competition for a period of a hundred years. The first section, consisting of aline from Tonning, on the Ryder, to Bosom and Flensburg, and extending southwards to Rendsburg, has been already surveyed by Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., and George P. Bidder, Esq., and contracted for by Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Bras sey, and the works are in course of construction. The extent of the line, with its branches, will be 69 English nines ; and the cost, includ ing all stations, land, and rolling stock, will not exceed 7,500/. per mile. The line will be completed within 15 months from this time. It has been thought desirable to complete, with as little delay as possible, this important link in the chain of Danish railways, as it will, in conjunction with the North of Europe Steam Navigation Com pany, at once establish a communication with the Baltic by the shortest possible transit. Passengers will be able to go from London and the principal ports of England to Tonning and Flensburg (on the Baltic), in 30 to 34 hours, including the overland journey by railway; To Copenhagen in 48 hours, including the overland journey by railway; And to Hamburgh in 36 hours, including the overland journey by railway. Tonning, a port on the Eyder, possessing all the advantages of depth of water, andlbeing 60 miles nearer the sea than Hamburg ' p will thus become th e p r i nc i p l e western port—the Liver 00l as it were, of Denmark—while the a d van t ages o f F lensburg, as Pan entre 24 on the shores of the Baltic, canno t b e overrated. Situated in the bight of a deep gulf running 20 miles inland, completely land-locked, so that ships of the greatest draught of water may lie in safety, having no rise and fall of tide, and therefore requiring no docks for the load ing and unloading of cargoes, the natural advantages of Flensburg render it second to no port in the world for commercial purposes. Already there is a considerable foreign trade, upwards of twenty large vessels clearing annua`ly for the West Indies ; but when the overland route is established, and to a saving of more than 500 miles of dangerous and, in winter, impracticable navigation by the bkaw and Catt , gat, is added the economy in the charges (the Sound dues alone being equal, on fine goods, to the whole expense of the transit by the railway), it is clear that a very large portion of the trade of the Baltic will be poured through this channel. Sonic idea of the enormous trade of these countries may be formed from the fact that upwards of fourteen thousand vessels pass the Sound annually. Their cargoes, independently of those that pass in balla-t, may be roughly estimated at one million five hundred thou sand tons. The Sound dues levied thereupon at a toll varying from one to one-and a-quarter per cent., produce a revenue of one hun dred ant fifty thousand pounds; we may therefore safely calculate the value of the same at fifteen millions sterling. For the purpose of calculating the probable return on the outlay in constructing the railway, a careful estimate has been made of the amount and description of goods, both import iind extort, that may be expected to pass over the line, and the aggregate amount has been ascertained to be little less than 200,000 tons. This is exclusive of passengers, and of the large additional traffic that cannot fail to be created by the establishment of th s safe and economical mode of transit. The lee d traffic alone, as given in Government returns of to Is received on the ordinary road, amounts at the pre-ent time to 31,000/ s year; and assuming the usual increa a through tha im proved fad. Meg, that is to say. doubling it, we have a. gross anntt .1 eturn of 72.0001. ; no th.tt making the largest a lowance for working oxpensen, this branch of income alone w,ll suffice to pay an inter. at of d per cent. on the entire capita , . [The liivl and Altona Jbir, of itlch this is a continuation, earned last year, on a cost of near 9,7005. per mile, upwards of 7 per cent ] It is confi catty expected that the revenue from all sources , will ensure a return of 10 to 12 per cent. upon the outlay, but, to reduce it to a eel tainty, the contractors, Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, engage to take a lease of the line for fourteen years from the open ing tor traffic, paying the shareholders a minimum rent of 6 per cent., and dividing equally with them the profits beyond that amount, allowing during the construction an interest of 5 per cent. upon the deposit and subsequent instalments; the lease to be ter minable at the expiration of five or ten years, by the Direct rs, on giving twelve months' previous notice. As a substantial security for the fulfilment of these engagements by the contractors, a sum of 100, , 001 will be invested in the names of the trustees, in Consols, or in such manner, and in such secur ties, as they shall deem advisable. The payment of the capital will be required at the following periods, viz.:— 3/. per share on the allotment. W. Ist July, 1853. 3/.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. Dn. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the Univers! , y of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, 8(.4., &c. 31AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregn'arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all cages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exig ence secret causes of self-twinned miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious .habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitild Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire Origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, 110 W the sting of their bitterness may be remove and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Phygia'..” "' tut:" of the taunts. and envy of the hypocritical and mock-merles has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the troßtsuent of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified ana Ignorant cmeitte.a, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION: A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings , and des cribing ii s a i detallhe various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

TIME FOR OPENING OF TIIE ROAD. As every mile or the Eastern division is sublet, and the work has been progressing for nearly a year, the grading, bridging, and ma sonry is in a state of for. ardness,-such that there is n o doubt but the contractors will be able to esti - Iply with the requirements of the contract. Two divisions are to be opened on the Ist of January, 1 854, The E a st ern divisior, by intersecting ths Lotesville and 1n dh131)01:s road, gives an admirable railway connection between tin cities of Citicinnatti and Louisville, and will yield a very large in wine at once. The Western division, from St Louis to the Illino's Central Railway, will, in like manner, be open on the Ist of January, 1854, and will yield large receipts.

Lord CAMPBELL then rose to put a question to the htt n wooa o i b ati esher recently subject ec d nictat the had i yroaftbgi Secretary ne c eon r : tph t r a a ri dnen r y of d address presented national nits S t it :I t State ini f id o ti i r hsl evFl importance.oi necrl‘hevpi newspapers Affairs, l ajaaleed rr:safsairjtaueeanst eetc o y i l Napoleon 111., ‘• in the name of the English nation." Now, in putting his question, he had no intention to throw. blame on the individuals who had presented this address. He had the pleasure of knowing some of them, and he believed them all to be highly respectable, and actuated, no doubt, by patriotic and disinterested mo tives. But if, in presenting the address to which he re ferred, they had acted without the authority of the Home Government, he apprehended they had been guilty of an offence against the law of the land —at all events of an offence against the law of nations. It is an established rule, he believed, that the intercours e which took place between independent nations could only be transacted through the medium of ambassadors or ministers sent from the respective courts of those nations—such a rule having been established in order to the preservation of international tranquillity. The rule would be found laid down by all writers on this important subject, but he would only trouble their lordships with an extract from Vattel, who was supported by Puffendorff and all his illustrious predecessors. Vattel remarked Nations are to treat and hold intercourse with one an other, and, bound by reciprocal obligation, to consent to such communication. But nations and sovereigns do not treat together immediately. The only expedient for nations and sovereigns is to communicate and treat with each other by the agency of nrociirators or m.and.atories, of delegates charged with their commands, and vested with their powers —that is to say, public ministers. The minister is, in some soil, a representative of a foreign power, a person charged with the commands of that power, and delegated to manage its affairs." Without quoting the opinions of other jurists on the subject, he would simply refer to what took place in 1791, when it was stated that a deputation was sent from this country to the Empress of Russia. At that period one party in this country thought we were ag grieved by the proceedings of the Russian Government, while another were of opinion that the English Govern. ment were to blame. The party in favour of Russia sent a deputation to St. Petersburgh in the person of Mr. Adair. Upon this proceeding Mr. Burke passed the following severe comment : " This proceeding of Mr. Fox does not (as I conceive) amount to absolute high treason ; Russia, though on bad terms, not having been then declaredly at war with this kingdom. But such a proceeding is, in law, not very re mote from that offence, and is undoubtedly a most uncon stitutional act, and a high treasonable misdemeanour. The legitimate and sure mode of communication between this nation and foreign powers is rendered uncertain, precari ous, and treacherous, by being divided into two channels, by which means the foreign powers can never be assured of the real authority or validity of any public transaction. This proceeding has given a strong countenance, and an en couraging example to the doctrines and practices of the Revolution and Constitutional Societies, and of other mis chievous societies of that description, who, without any legal authority, are in the habit of proposing, and to tire best of their power of forming, leagues and alliances with France." Now he (Lord Campbell) apprehended that the principles thus laid down by Burke were inconsistent with the transaction now under discussion. He apprehended that unless this deputation to the Emperor of France were authorised by the British Government to proceed in that capacity, they had acted in violation of the law although unconsciously so, As t o th e d ec l ara ti on it se lf , it was perfectly harmless. In many of the sentiments contained hi' it he concurred. But inasmuch as such declaration was not the result of any public meeting of her Majesty's subjects, or in conformity with any ad dress agreed to at a public meeting, he could not recog nise its legality. The document in question contained nothing more than a simple declaration of a desire that the relations of amity and peace between the two na tions should be kept up. In his opinion at no former period had there been a greater desire on the part of all classes in this country to maintain those relations of peace and amity with France. (' Hear, hear," from the Earl of Malmesbury.) Such was not the case in 1791, when the then Government took up one line of policy and the opposition another. (Hear, hear.) To revert, however, to the declaration under discussion, he be lieved it to be a clear violation!of the law. This country knew nothing of -the document until the curtain was withdrawn, and Napoleon the Third was discovered, surrounded by his ministers, and approached by the English deputation. He (Lord Campbell) . did not know whether the English ambassador was pre sent on the occasion, or whether his sanction was asked to the transaction. Was he (Lord Campbell) to suppose that Sir James Duke was sent over to super sede Lord Cowley, and that he went over to France invested with the authority of an ambassador extraordi nary or a minister plenipotentiary ? The form of lan guage employed by Sir James Duke to the Emperor would have been all very well had the subject in hand been the cession of a railway or a canal ; but such lan guage on a subject relating to our internal relations ought only to have proceeded from the lips of an accre dited minister of the Crown. Sir James Duke said : " Sire,—We have the honour to appear before your Ma jesty fog the purpose of presenting to your Majesty and to the French nation a declaration from the commercial com munity of the metropolis of the British empire. " We have only to add the expression of our conviction that this document conveys at the same time a faithful re presentation of . the feelings of the people of England at large." They express a fervent-- " - Hope that under your reign France and England may bo always united," &c. Of this declaration the Emperor, in his reply said : " It confirms in me the confidence with which the good sense of the English has always inspired me." He then expresses some alarm as to what was done last year, adding : _ " But the good sense of a great people cannot bo long deceived, and the step which you now take is a striking proof of this.

(From the Times. ) The Lord Chief Justice of England is not much accus tomed to turn his attention to foreign affairs, but he is as good a judge as any man of what is due to the public feeling and the political usages of this country, and with out all the formalities of a trial he has passed a severe but just sentence and reproof on the persons who have lately made themselves conspicuous by volunteering a declaration of peace and amity to the head of the French nation. Between the derision attached to Sir James Duke's self-constituted embassy and the "unqualified disgust" which Lord Ellenborough thinks the whole proceeding calculated to excite, this deputation has un dergone every variety of ridicule and censure. But Lord Campbell goes further. He pronounces the act of pre senting political addresses to forei g n Sovereigns by pri , vate British subjects, professing to bear a public charac ter abroad, to be positively illegal, and lie pointed out last night in the House of Lords with great force the ob vious inconvenience and impropriety of thus usurping the functions of the constituted authorities of the realm and the legal representative of the Crown. There can be no doubt that all acts of a public character abroad, which are done by individuals whose real position and powers foreign States have no means of ascer taining, are liable to great abuse. The authority of this deputation was entirely usurped. They were ambassadors without credentials and repre sentatives without constituents, for even the persons who had been duped into signing the declaration were left entirely in the dark as to the ulterior scheme of presenting that document to Louis Napoleon at the Tuileries. The Secretary of Sta-e for Foreign Affairs had certainly found nothing to condemn in the declara tion when it was shown to him, for, as we observed the other day, the language employed by its authors was such that there is scarcely a man in England who might not have adopted it. But, when Lord Clarendon was asked to instruct her Majesty's ambassador in Paris to give the sanction of his presence to the deputation, this request was most properly refused. The whole proceed ing had, to use the mildest term, an unauthorised char acter, and it is open to all the suspicions and remarks which are naturally excited by the conduct of men who intrude themselves into matters with which they are very imperfectly acquainted. Mr. Smith O'Brien's trea sonable excursion to the Hotel de Ville in 1848 with the green flag of Erin was certainly not a precedent to be followed. And the mission of Lord Roden and Lord Cavan to Tuscany last autumn, though it had nothing of a political character, being altogether suggested by religious motives, might so far have served as a lesson that the Grand Duke of Tuscany refused to accept any address or remonstrance, conveyed to a foreign court by such means. But, whether the object of these demonstrations be factious or meritorious, the principle is equally mischievous, since they all assume to carry with them the weight of the public opinion of England by means over which the British public have no control. Lord Malmesbury, of course, approves the thing. He was naturally in Paris, and probably at the Tuileries, to welcome the deputation, and to note with satisfaction that there are a dozen Englishmen as obsequious as himself to this new Power. But, if Lord Malmesbury had inquired a little further, he would probably have been able to trace the original conception of this declaration to the French Government itself. Several months ago it was undoubtedly men tioned as a desirable measure by a well-known member of the present Administration of the Empire, and various means were taken by the persons 'employed to get up the declaration in order to avoid that publicity which would at once have defeated the scheme. We do not cast any aspersion beyond that of levity and careless ness on the persons who were led to sign this docu ment without knowing what use was to be made of it. But, although many respectable names are to be met with in the list, it is not to be denied that the chief movers in this business are gentlemen verylargelyinterested in French railroads and other undertakings known on the Bourse of Paris ' • and, in spite of Lord Campbell's inge nuous disavowal of such an intention, It is equally clear that this demonstration was calculated to affect the price of certain securities, and especially to obtain for its au thors a share of those favours to capitalists in which the French Government is extremely munificent. Suppose Mr. Hudson, at the height of his ephemeral glory, to have united political power with his railway royalty, and we 'might have seen deputations of the same disinte rested character flocking from all parts of Europe. But, if they had come, we know what we should have thought of theta ; and, to do the:continental nations justice in this matter, the traders of the city of London have set them an example of servile obsequiousness not at all likely to be followed. It has sometimes been said by those who would depre ciate the character and spirit of a great commercial couu ' try, that mercantile pursuits have a tendency to lower the tone of public feeling and morality, to smother independence, and even to sacrifice freedom to the .acquisition of wealth. We certainly do not entertain so low an opinion of the principles and conduct of our own countrymen, and we are confident that the pro portion of those who would sacrifice the self-respect of Englishmen for such objects is as small as it is con temptible. But to that small minority we must impute the scheme which has given rise to these obsevations, and it is to be hoped that the censure passed on them, both in the House of Lords and by the chief organs of public opinion, will not be without effect. They are told by the Lord Chief Justice that they have done that which is illegal, by arrogating to themselves the right of ad dressing a foreign ruler in the name of the people of England ; and it is certain they have exercised that right without discrimination and without - dignity. If it goes forth to the world without contradiction that any num ber of citizens of London may frame addresses to foreign States, without even the check of publicity, and that Sir James Duke and Mr. Powles are, with such credentials as these, to exhibit themselves at courts and banquets as emissaries of this nation, or even of this metropolis, our relations with the continent will become absolutely bur lesque, and the Ward of Portsoken will supersede the Court of St. James. The international communications of States .and countries can only be safely and prudently carried on through the legitimate channel. No other is entitled to credit beyond the four seas ; and if the people of England were to desire other Ministers or statesmen to represent them in their relations with foreign countries they would probably not select these gentlemen, who have turned their Easter holidays to account with more amusement and advantage to themselves than credit to their country. DAMAGE BY STORM.—The West of England was visit ed on Thursday night last with a tremendous storm; several places suffered considerably from its violence. The wind for some time blew a perfect hurricane, and the rain fell in torrents. At Dorchester a large brick building, used at the railway station as an engine -house, was entirely destroyed, burying the engines in the ruins, and causing considerable damage. Fortunately, how ever, there was no person in the building at the time of the accident. At Starcross, a station on the South Devon Railway, and about eight miles from Exeter, a truck was set in motion by the force of the wind, and carried on in the same way to Exeter, where its arrival was anticipated by a telegraphic message. The mail train, which was due about the same time, was detained in consequence about half an hour, and the mails were taken on by a special train from Exeter. EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.—It appears from the countri payers that tV pAqvtk,9B 3 .ffiamkp4iValts ( M: tricts are turning out. A letter from Galway, published in the Telegraph, states that the city of Galway, and the towns throughout the west, were filled with lame and impotent creatures, who had not the means to join in the exodus. A letter from Gort states that one long street there, formerly inhabited by thriving tradesmen and ar tisans, is now " like a high road between walls, not a person to be found in the tottering and tenantless houses —all dead, or in America." The same letter states that the " farmers who remain find the greatest difficulty in procuring hands." MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT TO A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST.—The Rev. Michael Conway, Roman Catholic curate of Cahirconlish, encountered a terrible death on Thursday night, near that village, where he fell, it is supposed, upon the spikes of a gate, and was impaled by the neck, until the police patrol came up and extricated him, but the immortal spirit had been forced from its earthly tenement before their arrival at the fatal spot. The account in town is that the rev. gentleman was suddenly called out on a very urgent sick message, and, in his anxiety to respond to the summons, neglected ordinary precaution, striving in a dark stormy night to make his way to the bedside of a dying parishioner by the shortest route, and against all. obstacles. With this view, struggling to surmount an iron gate, he sunk exhausted upon the spikes, and there expired.--Linterick Chronicle. • DEATH OF THE SULTAN OF BORNEO.—The China Mail, of Feb. 10, states, on the authority of its Labuan cor respondent, that the Sultan of Borneo, who had been ailing for a length of time, has at length paid the debt of nature, and is succeeded by Pangeran Moumein, who had long acted as prime minister. The legitimate heir is thus put aside ; but as Moumein is very popular, it is most probable that peace will be maintained in Brunai during his lifetime. FATAL Loss OF THE SCHOONER LTBERATOR.—MILFORD, APRIL 2.—The schooner Liberator, Miller, of Arklow, from Neath, for Liverpool, on the Ist instant put into this harbour, with loss of mainboom. It blowing a gale from she was obliged to come to an anchor under Great Castle Head, and had to let go two bower anchors ; broke both chains ; the wind changed suddenly to W. S. W., with a very heavy sea; let go a third anchor; still driving fast towards the rocks, let go a fourth anchor, broke both cables again, and drove on shore in spite of all exertions. A sea came over the quarter, and washed the mate overboard, and he was drowned, whilst in the act of preparing to swim ashore with a rope to save the crew. He was a fine young man, 28 years of age, a son of the captain. The rema i n d er of the crew clung to the rigging until the tide fell, and got safe on shore without assistance. The vessel remained entire until the next tide, and then broke up and became a total wreck. The cargo, being iron, will be all saved. The vessel belonged to the captain, who has also sus tained the loss of 701., which w as on board, thewlioleof the property he was possessed of, LOANS M .NTED. lONDON EXCHANGE ADVANCE FUND, 4 1 2, Adeloi-terrace, Strand, fazing the river; City Branch, 3, Old Ilroad-street, City.

See pagcss and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. Idly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can al; all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the aargain of havintt a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest fur h s !MIRY, ard in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do 1 , 0 such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay Ws current premiums, and, instead of having any .and to fly to for aid, all his hard-carned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his mor efortunate co-assurers. such a system is too equitable 'and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised ard adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a b ink because it allows a fair rate of interest in case o: withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In ease of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking.

We understand it is now intended to send the whole of the crew of the Agamemnon to Haslar Hospital. They are to return to the ship as they recover. Fifty were sent on Sunday, and fifty others at 2 p.m. to-day. Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., Second Sea Lord of the Admiralty, and Captain Milne, Fifth Lord, arrived in this dockyard this morning on a semi official tour of inspection. After transacting business at the office of the Rear-Admiral Superintendent they proceeded to the office of the Port-Admiral ; on leaving , which Rear-Admiral Berkeley went on board the Aga memnon. and Captain Milne ' accompanied by Rear-Ad miral Fanshawe, inspected the screw steam-frigate Highflyer, 21, in the angle dock. They were afterwards joined by Rear-Admiral Berkeley and inspected the screw three-decker Duke of Wellington, &c. They left the dockyard shortly before 2 o'clock. The Isabel screw steamer, Commander Inglefield, going out to Behring's Straits on a voyage in pursuit of the missing Arctic expeditions, arrived in this harbour this morning in tow of the African steam-tug from Wool wich, where her outfit has been so ill executed that she has to have her upper works caulked in this port. The usual monthly muster of the officers and men be longing to the " ordinary" was made to-day on board the Neptune, 120, by Captain Scott, for the Admiral- Superintendent. The petition of the shipwrights of this dockyard, for warded to the Lords of the Admiralty some months since, praying for an increase of wages in accordance with the increased value of labour and the increased price of provisions, coupled with the fact that in some mercantile dockyards nearly double the amount of wages was given to shipwrights to what they received in Go vernment establishments, has at length received an answer, which has been this day conveyed to the men in the following circular from the Adrairal•Superinten dent : " Portsmouth Dockyard, April 4. In pursuance of the directions of the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, I have to acquaint the ship wrights, caulkers, and joiners employed in this dockyard, who have prayed for an increase of pay, that their Lord ships have had the petition under consideration and cannot entertain their request. " ARTHUR FANSHAWE, Superintendent." The Persian, 12, Commander T, Mitchell, whose ar rival from the West Indies we reported yesterday, sent in her invalids by the Echo tug this morning. The Per sian experienced bad weather on her passage home, being compelled to batten down nearly the whole way. Mr. G. B. Virim, midshipman, came home passenger in her. The Cumberland, 72, Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K.C.8., was at Bermuda on the 13th ult.--all well. The Vestal, 26, Capt. C. B.

Montagu Stopford.—Three courts-martial were held on board this ship on the 2d inst to try three seamen for desertion— one from the Imperieuse, 60-gun screw steam-frigate, and two from the Horatio, s crew steam gu ar d- s hip. Th e charge was fully proved in each case, and the Court sentenced the seaman who deserted from the Imperieuse to be imprisoned for three months, and then to be sen t on board one of her Majesty's ships to complete the term for which he originally entered the service. The sentences of the Court on the seamen deserting from the Horatio were, one to receive four dozen, th e o th er t wo dozen lashes, and then be dismissed her Majesty's ser vice. Captain R. B. Watson, C. 8., in command of the Horatio, prosecuted. The Imperieuse, 60 guns, screw steam-frigate, came down from Salt-pan Reach on the 2d inst., and has taken up the moorings formerly occupied by the London. After her c ompasses have been adjusted, she will be inspected by. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy previous to her departure. Captain Watson has been very much dis appointed in volunteers coming forward ; the Imperieuse is nearly 200 seamen short of her complement at present. [n consequence of the squally water, her rdtopgallant masts have been sent down, psailyas lowered upon the caps. WOOLWICH, Arum 4. APPOINTMENTS. Captain John C. Fitzgerald (1841), to command the Winchester, 50, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Fleet wood B. R. Pellew, 0.8., Commander-in-Chief of the East Indies station, Nree Loch, deceased. Acting Chief Engineer Charles K. Renwick is -con firmed to the rank of Chief Engineer in the Phoenix steam-sloop for service in an expedition to the Arctic Regions. Second Class Assistant -Engineer Stephen A. Harris to the Phoenix. Third Class Assistant -Engineer William Owen to the Phoenix. Second Class Asatant-Engineer William Saunders to the Righfiyerstun-sloop at Portsmouth, ~-~ seder in F*Ce to be present at the presentation. He re vied thOit was not intended to give such an instruction, and accordingly the ambassador was not present. As far as he (Lord Clarendon) had heard, that declaration of opinion had produced a good impression in France. If he had been asked whether he thought that such a declaration should have been carried further, he should have saidno. It simply referred to the good understanding—the cordial understanding—between the two countries, about which there could be no doubt, and as he believed there was no doubt on the part of the French people as to the feelings of the English nation towards them, such an allusion was correct. He concurred in thinking it inexpedient that this declaration should be considered a national declara tion, but could not recognise the parallel of his noble and learned friend between the present deputation and that which proceeded to Franch in 1848. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought that this was a matter of considerable importance. He quite agreed with all that had fallen from the noble and learned lord except the complimentary terms in which he had spoken of these individuals. For himself, he looked upon the transaction with no feelings but those of disgust ; and as they had from the very highest autho rity that these persons had been guilty of a grave offence, he hoped that if they came before the noble and learned lord in his judicial capacity, his sentence would be divested of all comp'imen tarp terms. The Earl of MALMESBURY said, he could not allow the present conversation to close without offering one remark on what had fallen from the noble and learned lord. The noble and learned lord, although he professed not to consider these gentlAnen as actuated by any but the most patriotic motives, had yet hinted at others. Lord CAMPBELL—I said such might be the case if this proceeding were made a precedent. The Earl of MALMESBURY (in continuation) had of course intended to refer to the remarks of the noble and learned lord with respect to the funds. It was im possible to misunderstand the meaning of such observa tions. (Hear, hear.) Lord CAMPBELL said he had acquitted the deputa tion of all improper motives, and had simply pointed out the danger of making the present transaction an example. If this affair were passed over in silence, other deputa tions might proceed to France with other objects. The Earl of MALMESBURY (in continuation) was glad to hear that the noble and learned lord did not in tend to throw out any insinuation against those who had signed the declaration in question. (Hear, hear.) He (the Earl of Malmesbury) regretted that the address should have proceeded through a non-official channel, and doubted its necessity ; b u t, as it h a d b een presenter; he was glad to be able to bear personal testimony to the effect it had produced in France. He was accidentally in Paris when the address was presented, and persons had expressed to him the great pleasure which such a de claration of opinion had produced. There was not the most distant idea in France of such an address being considered derogatory by the English people. Some persons might think so in this country, but, in justice to the Emperor and his ministers, he must say, that on their pirts;there was not the most remote sign of such a feeling. They felt gratification at what they considered to be a sign that the population of this country, and especially of this great city, were anxious to continue our peaceful relations with France. Ido not (continued the noble earl) defend the act ; but I say, as it has been committed—and in these days people are not to be ruled arbitrarily, and will act for themselves and speak for themselves---I can hardly congratulate the house upon the noble and learned lord having brought the subject forward, because no harm, but rather good, has resulted from it, and I do not see that any harm or dan ger could have resulted from this rash, though success , ful, proceeding. (Hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presumed then that the noble earl would have sanctioned the proceedings had he remained in office ? The Earl of MALMESBURY—On the contrary. particularly said that if I had been in the place of th ' noble earl opposite (Clarendon), I should have given the same advice which the noble earl gave, and have care fully refrained from approving the proceeding. (Hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH apologised, as not having heard the observation. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he hoped that his noble and learned friend the Lord Chief Justice did not mean it to go forth upon his high authority that such a proceeding was necessarily illegal. (Hear.) The prece dent might possibly lead to consequences it would be difficult to deal with, and perhaps to illegal consequences; but it would be extremely dangerous to lay it down as a. principle that every such proceeding was necessary ille gal. (Hear.) It had been the most common thing in the world that addresses should be presented to foreign Sovereigni--perhaps merely as matters of courtesy ; but still all such addresses would be illegal if the noble and learned lord was correct. He could not but recollect that when he was in the south of France last autumn, he saw several members of their lordships' and of the other house of Parliament npon a deputation to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to induce him to interfere in respect to certain of his subjects. It might be that this was illegal ; but, although agreeing with his nhble and learned that these proceedings were much to be deprecated, and were calculated to lead to great difficulties, he hoped that it would not be understood that they were necessarily illegal, or subjecting the parties to a criminal prosecution. Lord CAMPBELL said he aid not mean that such , proceedings were illegal in that sense, so that the parties could be indicted and arraigned. `He ,did not say that , tilt could I.e the case unless there were some maim ane,MUS. But ho maintained that such proceedings wei e illegal in this sense, that the law did not sanction them, and that a member of Parliament might be inmea,eltpa for such conduct. The deputation to the Grand Duke of Tuscany was to influence him to release persons im prisoned for religious opinions, and no doubt that was not illegal, for it was not really international. Bat that which related to peace and war between the two countries was national, and any English subject inter fering on such a subject, and pretending to represent the British nation to any foreign power, did what was undoubtedly illegal. VACCINATION EXTENSION BILL. Lord LYTTLETON moved the second reading of the bill. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH observed that the bill imposed penalties upon neglect to vaccinate, but extended no new facilities. Lord LYTTLETON was not aware that any were wanted ; if they were he would be happy to introduce them. The bill was read a second time. ELECTION INQUIRIES. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that on Monday, upon the evidence of the Canterbury election com mittee, he should move that an address to the Crown be presented. Their Lordships then adjourned. - " Like you I desire peace ; and, to make it sure, I wish, like you, to draw closer the bonds which unite our two countries." These (continued the noble and learned lord) were most HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) gratifying sentiments, but, nevertheless, wholly irregu lar, if uttered without the authority of the home govern ment. He was not disposed to blame the parties, who, Lord J. RUSSELL—I have now, in pursance of the no no doubt, were ignorant that they were acting wrongly.
