WM. L B A.THLTRST. ANNIVERSARY DE CH ARITY --- Atrt, p'S CATHEDRA C SAT T. L CHILDREN —At a , en meering o f the patrons of this society, numerously attended the Gth inst., the Most Noble the Marquis of Westminster was unanimously elected preQident in the roam of his Gr ace the late Duke of:North umberland, deceased, and we understand that preparations are making to give increased effect to that splendid festival at the approaching anniversary on Th ursday, tho ad of June, by a considerable addition to the choir, and th at many prc fessional artists have volunteered their gratuitous services for the occasion. CURRENCY MOVEMENT IN SCOTLAND. —The Glav-1 gow Herald received on Saturday, mentions that a great and influential meeting in favour of granting a temporary per mission to the various banks throughout the country to con vert the specie at present held by them into Government or other securities has been begun in that place. It is under stood that upwards of 2,000,0001. of gold are held by the Scotch banks alone, which are wholly useless in Scotland, no one ever wishing to see a sovereign in that country. In the Edinburgh Stock Exchange a similar resolution has been come to, and petitions have been prepared for presentation to Parliament on the subject. It is added, that all Scotland w ill be moving in this question in the course of a few days. There is no truth in the statements that have appeared of an intention to arrest the pro gress o f any R a il • w ay Bills before Parliament this session, on account of the (we trust temporary) scarcity of money. The heaviest ex penses have been already incurred in many instances; and should Parliament interfere at all with any general provi sion, it will be more likely to be one to enlarge the time an d increase the facilities for the, coneructicn of the railways in progress.— Observer.

Copley Fielding is decidedly the master spirit in this forty-third Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours. His pencil has scattered exquisite lights, and shades, and hues, and distances, and atmos pheric effects over the walls of the Gallery in Pall mall East. His genius blooming through the pigments of his palette, has literally sown beauties upon the canvass. Although there are upwards of forty distinct compositions from the easel of Copley Fielding in this year's collection, we have no hesitation in awarding to him a superiority which he has never before possessed. We are gratified and surprised at so much indisputable excellence, accompanied by such extraordinary industry and apparent precipitation. No. 31. " The Isle of Staffa," by this gifted artist, is of a prevailing neutral tint, giving the impression of a dull, gross day, with the Ilebridian waves surging up towards the Cam-shell Cave; the sullen foam upon their ridges blearing the view of lona on the horizon. No. 80. " Italian Landscape, with Sea Port," by the same, is a delicious contrast; it is glittering with a more sprightly animation, and, although the feathery cloudlets overhead are less like the ghosts of the Sirus, which we could wish them, it is clear, from many of the other paintings of Mr. Fielding, that he has been taking a hint from the Oxford Graduate. So much is this perceptible that we shall be disposed to anticipate, in 1848, a series illustrative of Shelley's poem, beginning— " I bring fresh show'rs for the thirsting fiow'rs, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade to the leaves when laid In their noon-day dreams, &c." The suggestion, by the way, is not to be slighted. It is im possible to give any adequate impression of the merits of the entire collection on a first day's hurried survey, nor would it be scarcely fair to dismiss any piece (except the most execrable) with a hurried ejaculation of contempt. For the present, therefore, we shall content ourselves with culling a few sentences from the note book of our memory, mentally pencilled there as we traversed the apartment. No. 56. " Drumadown," by W. A. Nesfleld, is a very hazardous, and (because of its boldness) a very praiseworthy venture. Turner in a delirium could not by possibility have produced a more phosphoric blaze of yellow ochre and vermillion. But we cannot induce ourselves, nevertheless, to stigmatise the picture as an exaggeration. We have ourselves seen a land scape flooded with the pomp and magnificence of a sunset almost as dazzling and gaudy : the beams flashing up from the lea through a network of vapours, and dyeing their extremities as with blood ; the combination of gorgeous colours, looking indeed more like n peep into some celestial kaleidoscope than the farewell glories of Dan Phcebus. No. 67. " A Day in the Forest of Atholl," by W. Evans, of Eton, is wonderfully clever. Seen in glimpses through the cluster of people gathered about it, the picture looks like a Turner—one of the great man's least eccentric productions. The curling and gathering up of the mists, the tawny blossoms of the heather in the foreground, and the crouching figures of the deer stalkers, are the simple materials out of which the painter has created a very charming and beautiful whole. No. 172. " The Hallowed Relic," by Alfred Fripp, is certain to attract much attention, for it is a picture con ceived by a mind truly poetical. There is a pathos not merely in the kneeling virgin by the sepulchral cross, cot merely in the sanguinary hue of the sunset, not merely in the dim crescent of the moon, which, " Like a dying lady," looks palely down upon the mourner; it is desolate and pensive to the minutest adjuncts, and the colouring is equally of a character. Besides the foregoing, we observed a capital little sketch of a "Page," by the facetious and inexhaustible W. Hunt, as well as a sort of pictorial pun from the same humourist, entitled " Drawing by Two Lights." V. Bartholomew has a very brilliant and natural com position of preppies in a china bowl, with orchard-fruit scattered over the table. The exhibition is unusually meritorious. Amongst the nobility and other patrons present we noticed, the following :—The Duke of Newcastle, the Earls of Elles mere, Jersey, St. Germains, Powis, &c.; Countesses Grey, St. Germains, Jersey, Po*is, and Dowagers Essex and Morley ; Bishops of London, Winchester, Lichfield, and Chester; Lords Monteagle, Colborne, Charles Townshend, &c. ; Ladies Monteagle, Charles Townshend, Grey, Clinton, &c.; Sirs Edward Sugden, Edmund Head, Walter Jarne:;, &c.; Ladies Head, James, &c. ; 1)r. Whewell, Mr. Rogers, &c. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. THE HEALTH OF TOWNS' BILL. On Saturday, at- the meeting of the Marylebone vestry (the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair), a numerous deputation of inhabitants residing in the Regent's Park, under the control of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, waited upon the vestry to present a memorial against the Health of Towns Bill, in which it was urged that the effect of placing the paving, lighting, and cleansing of the metropolis under the control of persons nominated by the Government would be to increase the rates, and they stated that this was exemplified in the neighbour hood in which they resided, where the charge made by the Woods and Forests was 16d. in the pound, while in the district over which the vestry had control the sum of 9d. in the pound only was charged. The memorialists further urged the vestry to take some measures for giving them the advantages enjoyed by their neighbours iu re spect to these rates. Mr. Joseph and Mr. Wilson spoke in favour of the memorial, and Mr. Daniel asked Sir B. Hall if he could give the vestry any information as to the intentions of the Government with respet to the Bill ? Sir BENJA:IIIN HALL said that Lord Morpeth had stated last night that it was his intention to bring on the Health of Towns Bill on the 10th of May; but he (Sir B. Hall) was still of opinion that, from the represen tation made to the Noble Lord, the Bill would either not be brought forward at all, or that it would be so much modified that it would be far less objectionable than it was at present.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir B. Hall) had in formed the Members of the Government, both publicly and privately, that it was not true that the borough of Marylebone and the other metropolitan districts were opposed, as it had been asserted, to all sanatory improve ment. He had informed them that they were most anxious for such a measure, based upon the principle of representation which they were accustomed to, and which he (the Hon. Baronet) maintained they had a right to insist on.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir B. hall) had been given to understand that there were a certaia class of persons going round the metropolis, endeavouring to make it appear that this Health of Towns Bill was a beneficial measure to the ratepayers. If the character of those parties were inquired into, it would be found that they had a very different object than benefiting the ratepayers. Mr. BULL said it had been falsely reported that the vestry were opposed to any plan for improving the public health. He was desirous that they should give some public disavowal of such assertion, and with that view lie gave notice, that on Saturday next be should move a resolution, expressive of the readiness of the vestry to support any Government measure for sanatory improvement which did not touch upon local privileges, and which was based on the representative principle. itoreondnilieroGn FridayT o Su SURGEONS.—Dr. night GE fromo ris Bel helvie,l'Ae o d f d a e Fiddes, — the D e r ff . puncture one of his fingers, received while making a post mortem exa mination on the body of one of his patients.

PARISHES OF ST. MARYLEBONE AND PANCRAS.-- The report of the Poor-law Commissioners, appointed to inquire into the administration of the poor-laws in the parishes of St. Marylebone and Pancras, in connexion with the death from starvation of Louisa Mordaunt and Joseph Woodward, has just been printed. As the object of the Com missioners was simply to report the state of facts to Sir G. Grey, the Home Secretary, no result has yet been arrived at in reference to the two cases of death from starvation. The report is valuable as containing a full account of the mode in which relief is administered to the poor in the two parishes which were the subject of inquiry. THE NEW BARRACKS A T BRISTOL.—The new barracks at Horfield, near Bristol, being now completed, with the exception of some of the fittings of the interior , w i l l be delivered up by the contractor Mr. Baker, in the earlfpart of next week, when th ey will' be taken formal possession of by Major Selwyn, of the Royal Engineers, who throughout the erection has acted as the inspecting officer for the Board of Ordnance. The barracks are intended for the immediate accommodation of four companies of infantry, and two troops of horse, but they have been built with a view to ultimate enlargement, and by some small alterations, which may be easily effected, may be made to provide accommoda tion for double that number of troops. In addition to the regular quarters for the officers and men, and the stabling for their officers, there are connected with the building an hospital, horse-infirmary, chapel, library, reading-room, baths, armourers and farriers' s h o ps, granaries, and magazine. There will also be a school, in which the children of the privates and non-commissioned officers will be edu cated. Within the walls of the building is a spacious area for an exercise yard, measuring 326 feet by 394 fat. The cost of the erection has been about 571, and although an extensive fire and some other adverse circumstances have occurred, they have been completed within the time speci fied in the contract.

Papers relating to the articles of agreement concluded between the British Government and the Lahore Durbar, on December 16, 1846, for the administration of the Lahore State during the minority of the Maharajah Duleep Singh ; were on Monday issued by order of the House of Lorde, having just been laid before both Houses of Parliament, by command of her Majesty. The fol lowing are important extracts therefrom (though the principal portion of the chief documents have already been published in the India intelligence) : MAHARAJAH DULEEP SINGH TO F. CURRIE, ESQ. With reference to your statement, that you have reported to the Governor-General the result of the in vestigation into the case of the recent disturbance at Cashmere, instituted by the Committee held on the 23 of December, 1846, and that his Lordship, in reply, after a careful and attentive perusal of the proceedings con nected with the case, had expressed his high approbation of the opinion given by the Committee, and confirmed the decision paeeed by them, I beg to remark that the British authorities are incomparably wise, prudent, just, experienced, and capable of distinguishing truth from falsehood, and :net they are sincere friends of this Government. I have full confidence in them, and en tirely approve of the decision passed by them, after a due investigation into the case of Cashmere, which de cision has been confirmed by the Governor-General. In reply to your remark, that it has been a source of much regret to his Lordship, that notwithstanding a British force was stationed at this place in compliance with the request of the Lahore Durbar and Vizier, for *he purpose of affording aid for the stability and main tenance of this state, the Vizier (appointed by me) had pursued an unbecoming line of conduct, i. e., he had secretly excited Sheik Imamooddeen (the Governor of Cashmere on the part of the Lahore Government) into rebellion, and instigated him not to make over Cash mere, which instructions were plainly and clearly in violation of the treaty ; I beg to state that this conduct of the Vizier has been a subject of much grief to this Government, and is considered a highly unwarrantable and unjustifiable act. With reference to your statement, that the British Government has approved of the measure taken by me of having deposed the Vizier, in consequence of his recent conduct, which was inconsistent with the stipula tions of the treaty, and that in consideration of the two following grounds, viz. :- 1. My tender age, being a minor, the difficulties of my position, and my being a descendant of the late Maha rajah Runjeet Singh, the faithful ally of the British Go vernment. 2. On account of the exertions of my army, under Sirdar Tej Singh, and Sirdar Shere Singh, in quelling the disturbances at Cashmere, which service was under taken for the purpose of maintaining the stipulations of the treaty; and further, in consideration that no other officers of the Lahore Durbar appeared to be implicated in the crimes of the Vizier; in consideration of these grounds, the British Government has acquitted this State ; but that the Governor-General now deems it proper that the Vizier should be banished from my dominions, and that, therefore, it is necessary that I should immediately dispatch him with his family to Ferosepore. With reference to these statements, I beg to state that I cannot adequately return my grateful thanks for the kind feelings which the British Government has evinced towards me, in thus considering my tender age, and the ancient relations of friendship which have subsisted be tween the British Government and the late Maharajah Runjeet Singh. The strict adherence of the British authorities to their pledged words convinces me that these kind feelings of the British Government towards me will daily increase, and that the ties of friendship and amity existing between the two Governments, according to the treaties, will gain strength day by day, through the interposition of Colo nel Lawrence, the agent to the Governor-General. The approbation of the British Government of the services performed by the troops of this Government employed in the Cashmere campaign, under the Com mander-in-Chief, Sirdar Tej Singh, and Sirdar Shere Singh, has afforded unbounded gratification to me and the above named Sirdare, and the army in general. I am thankful for the good offices of the Governor-General's agent( who is appointed to increase the relations of friend ship subsisting between the two Go vernmen t s ) i n h av i ng settled the affairs of Cashmere in so satisfactory a man ner. You have stated that the British Government has acquitted this state of the crimes of the Vizier, as none of its other officers appear to have been implicated in his crime, and that the British Government considered his deposition by me as a sufficient atonement, and have also considered it necessary that I should remove the deposed Vizier from my territories, and dis patch him with his failed) , to Ferozepore. Sir, you are well aware that I have deposed the Vizier, and given peremptory orders to him to take his departure for Ferozepore without loss of time ; that preparations necessary for his departure have been made, and that carriage, &c., have been supplied by this Government for the conveyance of his baggage. These circumstances need not, therefore, be recapitulated. He has this day, the Ist of Boos, 1903, taken his departure for his des tination. In reply to your statement, that on the arrival of the deposed Vizier with the Assistant Agent, a place for his residence will be selected in the British territories, with due regard to his dignity and comfort, according to the instructions of the Governor-General ; I beg to say that this proposal has originated in the kind feeling of the British Government towards him, and redounds to the tame of that Government. You have stated that the feelings of friendship enter tained by the Governor-General towards me have re mained unimpaired, and that it is his Lordship's desire to promote by every means in his power the stability of' my Government and the prosperity of the people ; that the satisfactory proposals and the beneficial suggestions, as well as the exertions of the Governor-General's agent (to whom the affairs of my Government are entrusted), in the troublesome times in the State for the last eight months, are well known facts; that these proceedings of the agent prove the sincerity of the desire of the Governor-General for the stability of this State, as ex pressed by his Lordship at the time of his making over the treaty to me at Lahore. Sir, I have full confidence in the kindness of the British Government, in the con tinuance of the favours of the Governor-General, and the attention of the Governor-General's agent. I am much gratified and thankful for the kindness which the Governor-General's agent has evinced for these eight months (since the conclusion of the treaty in the pre-. sence of the Governor-General), in protecting lives and settling the affairs of the State to my satisfaction. I return my grateful thanks for the kindness of the Go vernor-General, and the exertions of the agent in set tling the affairs of Kangra, Cashmere, and Mooltan, and in causing the arrears of the pay of the troops to be discharged. The good counsels of the Governor- General are impressed on my mind ; and I know it is incumbent on me always to remain faithful to the stipu lations of the treaty. You have stated that myself, the officers, and the de pendent Sirdars of the State should effect an arrange ment for the administration of this Government in such a manner that it may not prove prejudicial to the inte rests of the State; and you have also stated, that it is the earnest desire of the Governor-General that I should enjoy independent possession of the State; but that the British Government will, in future, afford no military aid to the Lahore State, in consideration of the events which have occurred during the last six months, more especi ally on account of the perfidious and disloyal conduct of the Vizier, and that the British force will, consequently, be withdrawn after the expiration of the specified term; and that myself and my officers and Sirdars should, therefore, establish a strong Government, either by ap pointing will not fail to give his good . counsels stipula tions i r p n a o t n i Ee f i e m n r g e e n a t i ; n n a n a t d b h l e e s t h e V a i t m zi a t e l t r i t e e r c ß s 'r , r i b i ) s u . h t m G a t k h o i :v: e g r e s t h c m ni e e e n G t o :w h y r l r n a ,f). e r r r it and Sirdars that the ' he relations of friendship and amity of maintaining t ce r s' qween the British Government and the in dependent chiefs, and that whenever the misrule of the jene w r to a a l a h ll i t s m he , yo t s h u e bs s i s ta t ofi subsisting et stability treaty of m ; Y. that St a t l e should consistently explain desirous Government of any of those chiefs disturbs the peace Governor of the British frontier this Government will be held re sponsible for it ; that you, therefore, previously advise me, in consideration of the friendship between the two Governments, to effect a satisfactory arrangement for the administration of my State ; for, if in consequence of the recurrence of misrule in my Government the peace of the British frontier be disturbed, I should be held responsible for the same ; and that you have written all these instructions in a friendly style, without any reserve ; that if I act up to them it will prove beneficial to my State. Si?, I feel most thankful on the perusal of 'your kind letter, more especially on learning that you have written to me without reserve, these instructions in a friendly style for the welfare and stability of this State. By my mind. Yesterday,Gto its the 29th Mugsir, 1903, I explained to all 'istsbleesnsginaggetmheent, which ritishGo f v a e c r t n i m s e i n m t p i r s es a s l e s d va o y n s faithful the Sirdars and dependants of this State, regarding arrangements for the administration of my Government, to the that fcannot adequately return my grateful thanks for the kindness which the Governor-General, in consi deration of the ties of friendship which subsisted be tween the British Government and the late Maharajah Runjeet Singh, evinced towards me in appointing Colo nel Lawrence his agent, and in permitting him to re main with a British force for the protection and admi nistration of my State. As the Governor-General is desirous of maintaining this State, it is not proper that the whole of the British force stationed here should be put to further inconve nience and annoyance. Nevertheless, with regard to the necessity for establishing the Government of the country, and the fact of the time for the withdrawal of the troops having arrived, it is hoped that the agent, with two battalions, and one regiment of cavalry, and one battery, may be allowed to continue for some months, during which, what still remains to he done to complete the organisation of the Government in an effl• cient manner may be effected ; and there can be no doubt that Colonel Lawrence will, according to the pro visions of the treaty, give every aid and assistance in establishing the Government. Inclosure 6 in No. 9. F. CURRIE, ESQ., TO MAHARAJAH DULEEp SINGH. 14, 1846. The request of y our Highness that December a portion of the British force now at Lahore, and the agent of the Go vernor-General, should remain after the expiration of the stipulated time, which measure your Highness states to be necessary for the establishment of the Government of the country, involves a departure from the provisions of the articles of agreement executed on the 11th of March last, and is a very important matter. It seems to me desirable that the chiefs of the Durbar, with the sirdars interested in the welfare of the Lahore state, should assemble at my Durbar tent, to-morrow, when I will lay b e f ore them distinctly the only conditions on which the Governor-General will consent to a modi. 1 ( "WU of the articles of agreement above referred to ' and it will be well that these chiefs and sirdars should be prepared to give a conclusive acquiescence or rejection of the said conditions, in order that the affair may be coneuded, and the necessary orders given regarding the movement of the British force. The following is an extract from the dispatch of the Governor General to the secret committee (dated Dec. 22, from the camp on the left bank of the Bess) : Inclosure in No. 10. THE RIGHT HON. TLIZ GOVERNOR. GENERAL OF INDIA PLEASED TO DIRECT THE PUBLICATION OF THE FOL• LOWING NOTIFICATION. Camp, Bhyrowal Ghat, on the left Bank of the Bees, Dec. 22, 1846. The late Governor of Cashmere, on the part of the La hore State, Sheik Imamooddeen having resisted by force of arms the occupation of the province of Cashmere by Maharajah Golab Singh, the Lahore Government was called upon to coerce their subject, and to make over the province to the representative of the British Government, in fulfilment of the conditions of the treaty of Lahore, dated 9th of March, 1846. A British force was employed to support and aid, if necessary, the combined forces of the Lahore State, and Maharajah Golab Singh, in the above operations. Sheik Imamooddeen intimated to the British Govern ment that he was acting under orders received from the Lahore Durbar in the course be was pursuing, and stated that the insurrection had been instigated by written instructions received by him from the Vizier, Rajah Lal Singh. Sheik Imamooddeen surrendered to the British agent on a guarantee from that officer that if the Sheik could, as he asserted, prove that his acts were in accordance with his instructions, and that the opposition was insti gated by the Lahore Minister, the thither should not be permitted to inflict upon him, either in his person or his property, any penalty on account of his conduct on this occasion. The British agent pledged his Govern ment to a full and impartial investigation of the matter. A public inquiry was instituted into the facts adduced by Sheik Imamoodeen, and it was fully established that Rajah Lal Singh did secretly instigate the Sheik to oppose the occupation by Maharajah Golab Singh of the province of Cashmere. The Governor-General immediately demanded that the Ministers and chiefs of the Lahore state should depose, and exile to the British provinces the Vizier Rajah Lal Sing. His Lordship consented to accept the deposition of Rajah Lal Sing as an atonement for the attempt to in fringe the treaty by the secret intrigues and machina tions of the Vizier. It was not proved that the other members of the Durbar had cognizance of the Vizier's proceedings, and the conduct of the Sirdars and the Seikh army in the late operations for quelling the Cash mere insurrection, and removing the obstacles to the fulfilment of the treaty, proved that the criminality of the Vizier was not participated in by the Sikh nation. The Ministers and Chiefs unanimously decreed, and carried into immediate effect the deposition of the Vizier. After a few days' deliberation, relative to the means of forming a Government at Lahore, the remaining mem bers of the Durbar, in concert with all the sirdars and chiefs of the State, solicited the interference of the Bri tish Government, for the interference of the British Go vernment, for the maintenance of administration, and the protection of the Maharajah Duleep Singh during the minority of his Highness. This solicitation by the Durbar and Chiefs has led to the temporary modification of the relations between the British Government and that of Lahore, established by the treaty of the 9th of March of the present year. The terms and conditions of this modification are set forth in the articles of agreement. .AILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE KENDAL AND WINDER MERE. On Tuesday last, in accordance with previous an nouncement, this " gem of railways" was publicly opened with great eclat. Early in the morning flags with various bearings were hoisted on all the elevations in the immediate vicinity of the town—the time-worn tower of the dilapidated castle being the most conspi cuous. The directors issued 500 free rickets to the trades men and others of the town and neighbourhood. A little before ten o'clock in the forenoon, a hand of music pro , ceeded to the company's station in Wi dtnan-street. Soon after this period the directors, headed by John Gandy, Esq., the chairman of the board, and a vast assemblage of the most respectable and influential ladies and gentlemen resident in the town and immediate vicinity, took their seats in a train of first class car rives, to which were attached second and third-class carriages for the conveyance of such of the pahl,c as then felt disposed to traverse the line to the terminus at Birthwaite on the banks of the Lake of Windermere. At twelve o'clock at noon another full train was dis patched, which was filled to overflowing. At a.b..ut two in the afternoon the directors, in company with a large body of shareholders and spLcial visitors from the surrounding district, partook of a sumptuous de jeuner at the New Hotel, at Birthwaite, John Gandy, Esq., in the chair. For the greater pleasure and amusement of the vast influx of visitors to the fairy land, and such as were not invited to the enter tainment, the splendid new steamer, the Lord of the Isles, made several pleasure trips during the day between Ambleside and Newby-bridge (the whole extent of the lake). The vessel was several times crowded with all the beauty and fashion present. A band of music was on board, which made the surrounding mountains and woodlands rev er b era t e w ith sou l- s tirring strains. Fetes champetre also took place on the margin of the queen of lakes, which added a noble zest to nature's grandest scenery. No accident took place to mar the proceedings of the day. It is not, we understand, the intention of the company to run trains on the Sabbath-day. NITIISDALE LINES. A meeting of the inhabitants has been held at Dum fries in favour of the lines proposed by the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle; the Provost in the chair. The speeches showed that the proposed lines were of very great importance to the district of country indeed; and when completed would confer great benefit on the whole district. The line from Gretna to Brampton, in par ticular, would be very advantageous to them. At pre sent goods could be brought from London at 2s. 6d. per cwt.; when they should have direct intercourse by rail with Newcastle, this rate would, he doubted not, be re duced to 25., which would make a great difference to those who imported many tons of merchandise. In place of paying 10d. or so, as they were doing just now, the inhabitants would have coal laid down at 6d. per cwt. BILLS IN THE LORDS.—The Assurance Gazette, a new organ just issued in support of the insurance in terest of the country, says:—" We have heard that Lord Ashburton has lately been privately canvassing the House of Lords, to induce them to stop the passing of all railway Bills this session, except those which are for small branches out of existing lines. How far this attempt will succeed, we cannot say; but if it has been made, we do not doubt that energetic steps will be taken to carry the plan to a successful issue. The members of the House of Peers, in matters of this sort, are like a flock of sheep—where one jumps the others are sure to COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND MAN CHESTER.—The completion of the works on the Trent Valley line will be the beginning of a new and more direct railway communication between the capital and the manufacturing districts. The line will be opened for passenger traffic on the Ist of July, and will be used for the .through communication between London and Manchester, instead of the Birmingham line, shortening the distance considerably. Arrangements are being made•for accelerating the speed of the through trains; and on and after the Ist of July the journey from Lon don to Manchester will be performed in something under five hours, and the London morning papers will be on the table of our Exchange by half-past twelve each day. A memorial has been lying for some days for signa ture on the tables of the Exchange. addressed to the directors of the London and North-Western Company, praying for such an accelciation of the mail as would bring the London newspapers and letters to Manchester by one o'clock, instead of three o'clock as now, nearly two hours after high change. It is not likely, however, that any such change will be made in the near prospect of a much earlier mail arrival by this opening. —Man chester Examiner. INAUGURATION OF THE LICHTERVELISI CENTRAL STATION OF THE WEST FLANDERS LINE. - This fete, which has been delayed in consequence of the incle mency of the weather, took place recently. The Convoi d' Honneur, decorated with flags and evergreens, left Brugos about noon, and arrived safely at Lichtervelde, where it was received by the joyous acclamations of a large concourse of the inhabitants. Inside the station had been erected platforms, also decorated with flags, &c., on one of which were assembled the clergy in their sacerdotal robes, and on the other was grouped the beau sere of Lichtervelde and its neighbourhood. The representatives of the railway company, among whom we noticed Mr. Lewis Cubitt, Mr. Chantrell, the Director Gerant, and Mr. Prisse, the engineer, having alighted from the train, were received by the authorities of the town of Lichtervelde, Mr. Le Cheva lier Surmont, the burgomaster, addressing them in a speech expressive of the gratitude which the inhabitants would for over feel towards the company for the new era of prosperity which has been secut ed to the town by the opening of the railway. The cure of Lich tervelde having then pronounced an oration, proceeded with the ceremony of the benediction of the line and locomotive, in which the entire body of the clergy assisted. A procession was then formed towards the town (every house decorated with flags and ban ners bearing appropriate mottos), and in the afternoon an excellent dinner was given by the authorities of the town to the company's representatives. During the banquet, the several musical societies of Lichtervelde, and the towns in the neighbourhood played their most favourite pieces. Popular games were held, bread dis tributed to the poor, and a display of fireworks in the evening having announced the conclusion of the /We, the train again started for Bruges, every one, both rich and poor, having had reason to be delighted with the pro ceedings of the day. Medals of gold, silver, and bronze have been struck in commemoration of this event, by the authorities of Lichtervelde. The report of Captain Caspar, of the French whaler Jacques Lafitte, dated from San Carlcs, the coast of Chili, January last, announces his arrival there with nearly 2,000 barrels of oil. After refitting, he states that it his intention to continue operations in the neighbouring waters till th e close of the season, when he shall direct his course home wards, hoping to reach port at the end of the year. He had spoken on the Bth of September the Narwal, with 1,900 bar rels of oil, and on the 18th of December and subsequently the Reunion, with 400 barrels; La Ville de Rennes, with 400 barrels; the Mississippi, with 600 barrels; the Pallas, with 700 barrels; the Ferdinand, with 800 barrels; and the Fanny, with 700 barrels.
