"In the Seventh Volume of this elaborate and important work the celebrated author takes us through the grand campaign by which the power and prestige of Prussia were annihilated in a month. The history of the Consulate and Empire is certainly one or the greatest literary performances of the day.

As one of the United States' newspapers remarks with a characteris tic outburst of grief—he is proved to have been regu larly " humbugged and bamboozled" in the purchase and annexation of Texas ; and, what is worst of all, by no astute diplomatist, by no TALLEyRAND, no METTERNICH, no - MACHIAVELLI, but by plain SAM HOUSTON, a fellow in a blanket coat. " Oh, Messrs. TYLER, UPSUUR, DONELSON, and the rest, what flats you are all made to appear !" is the pathetic ejacula tion of this Transatlantic journalist. And the " pre ciously humiliating truth," the revelation of which is here bemoaned, is proclaimed simply in a letter addressed by the ex-President of Texas to Col.ll.vrcuE, the editor of the Texas Banner. Nothing certainly could be more calamitously timed for Mr. President PoLz and his colleagues than this epistle of General HOUSTON, appearing, as it does, at a juncture when the Councils of Washington are embarrassed by the in creasing unpopularity of the Mexican invasion, and when that unpopularity is confirmed by the election of a majority of Whig representatives in the new Congress, and the accumulation of new difficulties around the heroic armaments of those most redoubt able captains—Twinos, SCOTT, ZACHARY TAYLOR, and CADWALLADIR PILLOW. Just when Mr. Pleni potentiary TWIST is rebuffed by the Mexican Con gress, when the arrival of PAREDES in the invaded territory complicates the position of its assailants, when the party adverse to the continuance of the war obtains the preponderating influence in the Le gislative Chamber—out comes this disclosure of SAM HOUSTON, proving that the spangled standard of the model republic was darned in more senses than one, and that the Supreme Government of the said model republic had been grievously humbugged and bam boozled ! Oh, SAM HOUSTON ! thou art answerable for the cholic that will inevitably seize upon the en trails of JAMES POLK ; for it is a disastrous thing to show that the United States was " done " in con triving the annexation of Texas, just when the same policy is about to be adventured upon by the annex ation of California. The lovers of national independence—those who detest the system of territorial spoliation— will be grateful to the ex-President of Texas for a document which must warn the whole popula tion of Yankeeland against the pursuance of a course which apparently tends to the aggrandizement of their dominions, but which in reality only abstracts from their treasury so many millions of dollars, and ultimately exposes them to contempt and ridicule. The letter of General HousToN, indeed, tells as plea santly as an anecdote —as did the anecdote of Cousin FEENIX at the dinner-party in " Doashey and Son." Here, however, it is not of a bride who has been regularly bought, and a bridegroom who has been regularly sold ; but it recounts how Texas was regularly bought and how the United States was regularly sold. Unfortunate dupes of the man in the blanket coat, you had immeasurably better have maintained s il ence, and thus purchased by your quietude the taciturnity of your cajolers The circumstance which elicited the mad-a-propos explanation of SAss HousTo N was simply this. His attention had recent l y been directed to a document. relating to the Texan negotiation, published in the Weekly Union, and signed by ex-President TYLER— in which document Mr. TYLER. states that it was only when he had acquired information that exer tions were being made by certain European Go vernments in reference to the isolation of Texas, that he (the then President of the United States) empowered his colleague, ABEL Ursuuß (since deceased), "to scatter to the winds the web of those intrigues." What is the revelation of General HousToN upon this point ? Why it is a revelation most humiliating to the character of that ex-President, most derogatory to the national 'cute ness hitherto regarded as a distinguishing character istic of the citizens of the model Republic. It would ac tually appear that the intelligence which decided Mr. TYLER to scatter the intrigues of the European powers to the winds through the agency of good, credulous ABEL Urstsua, originat e d so l e l y i n the imagination of SAM HOUSTON ! Yes, the ex-President of Texas was disappointed at the in decisive character of the proceedings of the United States in re gar d to the annexation of the territory in un derhis rule, and f or t h e purpose of at once bring TYLER to good ter ms upon a bad bargain the m g M an in the blanket coat " bamb ooz l e d" the statesmen of Washington with these reports of imaginary intrigues. President TYLER was caught with a bait that would not have deceived the most simple-minded gudgeon, and Texas was taken for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, by the Government of the United States. Such is the exposure which is simultaneous with the arrival of PAREDES in Mexico, and the return of a Whig majority to the Congress at Washington ; such, in tine, is the revelation which is mentioned by an elegant and classical writer in a New York journal as a " preciously humiliating truth !" 4 magnificent banquet was on Tuesday given to the Earl of DALlioustE, at Edinburgh, as a farewell mark of esteem and respect previous to his departure for India, whither he is about to proceed to assail@ the important duties of the office of Governor- General, to which he has recently been appointed. This gratifying testimonial of the approbation the Noble Earl has earned for himself by his conduct' was attended by persons of every party and of every shade of political feeling : all were anxious to testify their sense of the ability and discretion manifested by ' r ~ ,_ THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1847. I their guest in the important offices he has hitherto I filled, and their earnest hope that he will, in the ad ministration of the affairs of the vast empire over which he has been selected to preside, afford new evidences of his skill and judgment, that the British interests, the British honour, and the British justice, will be maintained in his hands, and that he will deliver his trust to his successor, whenever he may re turn to his native land, to enjoy the otium cum dig nitate, unimpaired and untarnished. The duties of the high station which has thus de ' volved on the Noble Earl are of no trivial weight, of no unimportant character. If the appointment is one of the most honourable and lucrative in the gift of the Crown, it is likewise, probably, the most arduous and responsible. True, it is, that many dark and lowering :clouds, that formerly hung over the entire country with ominous and threatening aspect, are no longer visible in the political atmosphere ; peace and tranquillity have been restored in almost every por tion of the entire Anglo-Indian empire, while no appear ance of hostility is discernible amongst our neighbours. The British power has been established, and the native princes have received the most impressive lessons, not,, only of our valour and energy in war, but of our moderation and justice in the hour of triumph ; not only of the hopelessness of provoking a contest, in which they must be aware that 'success is almost impossible, but also of its uselessness and absurdity, greater attention being paid to the remon strances of those who appeal to our justice or gene rosity in the garb of peace, than if backed and sup ported by myriads of armed troops. Our Indian dominions have never been in a more prosperous or tranquil condition than at the present Lime, and, consequently, this is the propitious moment for in troducing reforms and ameliorations by which the happiness and welfare of the countless millions who acknowledge the British rule may be advanced, and the best interests of the parent State may be pro moted. The arts of peace are now to be practised, the extraordinary, resources of the empire are to be deve loped to the utmost extent. The burdens that un duly affect the native population, are to be removed or mitigated, so far as it may be practicable to do so The taxes that press on their industry must be revised, Ind extensive alterations effected. Monopoly must be abolished wherever it still exists ; and, first, that gigantic and baneful salt monopoly, by which such grievous injustice is committed, and the hum- ble comforts of the people are so seriously impaired. The collection of the revenue must be placed on a new footing. The principles of free trade must everywhere be carried out, and its good Afects will speedily be visible. The cultivation of the cotton crop must be encouraged, and the impedi ments and difficulties heretofore interposed in the way of its production must be set aside. The heavy Customs duties on the exportation of the products of the country must be entirely abolished, or at least important modifications introduced, and the facility internal communications, whether by railways or )therwise, increased as far as practicable. These are a few only of the matters of deep and ?ressing exigence to which the attention of the noble Earl will have to be directed on his arrival at the seat of Government. He will he required, as he stated, " to set a stout heart to a steep brae." He has already proved himself to be pos- sessed of the qualities that fit him for hie high posi tion ; by his own talents and his own industry he has worked himself forward until he has attained the lofty eminence on which he is now placed. His selec tion is equally honourable to himself and to those by whom he was chosen. During his whole political career he had been opposed to the present Govern ment, but, notwithstanding that opposition, his abili ties and integrity had been appreciated, and twice he had received the offer of office from the Whig Mi nistry, and on the present occasion that offer was freely repeated and as freely accepted, without any sacrifice of principle. The Noble Earl stated that "he was bound to say, with pleasure and gratitude, that no men could have behaved more frankly, more confidentially, or more honourably to him than her MAJESTY'S advisers had done in this instance." This confidence will enable him to carry into execution those measures that may appear ad visable, but it will increase ths responsibilities of which his Lordship seems to be so fully aware. We trust that the expectations that have been formed will not be disappointed ; that the knowledge of coax- wercial matters acquired during his Lordship's con- flexion with the Buard of Trade may be turned to the best advantage, and that on his return he may be greeted with a testimonial of esteem, respect, and approbation similar to that by which his departure was cheered and honoured. Intelligence bas been received from Lisbon, to the 9th, by the b team-ship Iberia. The split between SALDANITA and the CABRALS is complete. The Duke Of TF.ECEIRA, has joined SALDANILL'S party. Serious disturbances had taken place at Oporto. All parties were busy preparing for the elections. The Bank of Portugal was about to issue 2,000 contos of reis in notes. A combined attempt at insurrection has broken out simultaneously at Reggio and Messina to the cries of " Long live the Constitution !" but these attempts were repressed. A letter from Naples, dated the sth, announces that the steamer the Polypheme, which arrived on the evening of the 3d in that town, had brought some particulars respecting these at tempts, of which the Neapolitan Government had been previously informed by telegraph. The authorities and the troops who were on the spot sufficed to re establish order. The 3d and 4th regiments of the line had marched without hesitation against the in surgents, although Colonel Busacca of the 3d had been struck by two balls. According to what the Yeapolitan Government caused to be published in the evening of the 4th, in an extraordinary supplement of the official journal, the affair had no gravity. The in tendant of Messina announced that only four persons had been killed ; but it was rumoured at Leghorn that 300 persons had perished in the engagement. After having re-assured the population of Naples by the publication of the supplement, the King of the Two SICILIES caused two battalions of the 6th regiment of the line, which were at Capua, as well as the Bth regiment of the line and a battalion of sappers and miners, which were in the capital, to be immediately embarked in five of the Government steam-vessels. General NUNZIANTE took the command of these troops, a n d rece i ve d orders to throw two battalions into Reg g i o an d afterwards proceed to Monteleone with the th ree ot h ers. The following are the terms in which the Neapolitan Government has announced the disturbances :—" We announce, assuredly to the general satisfaction, that Messina and Reggio (where public tranquillity has been troubled by the act of a mob of malevolent persons, have, thanks to the bravery and excellent spirit of the royal troops, re turned to a state of perfect calm. We give this simple notice this evening, the journal of this day being already published." Letters from Turin of the 9th inst. 'announce the arrival there of Monsignor CORBOLLI Bussr, who had been sent by the POPE to negotiate an offensive and defensive alliance between Piedmont and Rome. Tuscany was believed to have already adhered to the alliance. The POPE'S Envoy was immediately re ceived by the KING, with whom he transacted busi ness without the intervention of M. SOLAR Ds LA MARGARITA, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is said that King CHARLES ALBERT has de clared that if Austria does not give satisfaction to the POPE he will proclaim the independence of Italy. The Piceno of Ancona gives the following as part of the letter written by the King of SARDINIA to the PopE, offerin g hi m support. The latter portion of the extract is of such a nature as to throw a doubt over the whole :—" As a Ring and an obedient son of the Holy See, I acknowledge that we are bound by y the same ti es as f ather and son. I highly disapprove of the conduct o f A ustria, and place at the disposal y of your Holiness th e w h ole of the forces of my kin dom. At the same ti me , I h ave directed someofmmg: troops to march upon th a t part of Italy which is in 3 the possession of the EMPEROR, with orders not to return till after the Austrians have evacuated the Pontifical States." A letter from Milan of the 9th says— " After thirty-three years of peace and t ranqu i llity Milan has at length had its agitation. The following are some details of a disturbance which took place here last night. The popular fetes and illumination s for the reception of the new Archbishop, M. Romilli, could not take place on the sth on account of the bad ness of the weather, and were put off till yesterday. The people assembled in the Piazza Fontana, crying, Long live Romilli !" Long live Pius IX. when suddenly between five and six hundred persons came from the Porta Tessine in martial order, shouting— `ltaly for ever!' and singing in loud chorus Rossini's hymn to Pius IX. The police immediately sent a company of mounted gendarmes to disperse the thousands of people gathered in the square, and no one can depict the scene of confusion that ensued. The 500 or 600 of the populace kept their ground, and resisted the armed force, shouting, Down with the police Down with the Austrians 1' The riot soon became so serioua that the new Archbishop went down into the square, accompanied by M. Greppi, the Municipal Councillor, and harangued the people, M. Greppi also addressing them as friends and comrades. The rioters removed from the square, but re-assembled in another place. All the patrols of the police and the troops were assailed, disarmed, and insulted, by having their faces spit upon, amidst cries of Down with the Germans!' There was also another movement in the Campo Santo, and in the twinkling of an eye, the policemen, gendarmes, and troops, were compelled to give way to the superior force of the populace. At a later hour further re inforcements came up, and by four in the morning order was nearly restored. But we apprehend there will be renewed disturbances this evening." Some disturbances took place at Arezzo on the 4th, and the rioters attacked the bakers' shops. A civic guard was at once organized, which restored tran quillity by arresting the ringleaders of the rioters. A letter from Leghorn of the 9th says— " After the manifestation which took place on the 4th the agitation went on increasing. All affairs were suspended, the people were continually in the streets, executing military promenades to the heat of the drum. The troops quitted their flags, took the cockade of the three Italian colours, and fraternised with the people. The inhabitants of Pisa proceeded en masse to Leghorn, and the two populations united. Te Deuin was chaunted, and the clergy blessed the national flag from the cathedral, before an immense crowd of people, kneeling down. On this occasion, Professor Montanelli, of Pisa, delivered an energetic speech, which had great effect on the auditory. lie said that they must prepare themselves for resistance, for attack, and for the conquest of Italian independence by arms. The committee, which was charged by the people to prepare the grand fete of the Bth, had drawn up a programme, which was scrupulously executed. All the parishes of the city and the adjacent country as sembled, and marched in procession, with the clergy at their head. A Te:Deum was again chaunted, in honour of the Pope and of the Grand Duke. A statue of the latter was uncovered, amidst the accla mations; of the crowd, and very animated speeches were delivered. An order of the day prescribed to all the people to take the tricolour cockade, to which were joined the colours of the Pope, and the Italian flag was displayed. Greater enthusiasm was never seen. No one, however, can say what may be the consequences of that political demonstration. The leaders of this movement began to be uneasy with respect to the moment at which it would be necessary to disperse these ma s ses of people who had quitted their work. In the meantime a rendezvous was given to the people for Monday, the 12th September, under the windows of the Palace Pitti. The railways will serve for the conveyance of an innumerable crowd. The programme of this new demonstration had not been drawn up, but there was a talk of demanding the unlimited liberty of the press, and of proclaiming a constitution." The Observer of Trieste contains the following letter, dated Pola, the 2d instant :—" This morning five ships of war of the Austrian naval division left this port. These vessels entered here on the 26th ult." Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived. The Duke of Fnias arrived at Madrid on that day, The Eco del Comercio states that General MAZ ZEREDO is desirous of being sent as Ambassador to London. According to the Espanol, Senor ZARAGOZA w•il be Under-Secretary of the Interior, and Senor CA. BESTENAY Political Chief of Madrid. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 9.—The Three per Cents, were done at 26 3-16 for cash ; the Five per Cents, at 171, and the Coupons at 13k. The Paris journals of Tuesday announce the death on the previous evening of Marshal OUDINOT, Duke of Reggio, at the age of 81. The Marshal, who was one of NAPOLEON'S most celebrated generals, was, at the time of his death, Governor of the Invalides. The Journal des Dads, maddened by the observa tions of the Opposition press on its recent articles on Italy, pours forth a column and a half of the most virulent abuse of the Italian Liber.l3, min g lpd with some schoolmaster-like lectures to the Austrian and Italian Princes. In this article an endeavour is art fully made to sow dissensions among the Liberal party in Italy; and to attain this end the system of " enormous lying," which is the foundation of the juste milieu policy of M. GUIZOT, is brought into requisition. The weapon, however, is not used with M. GUIZOT'S wonted skill. It is amusing to find M GUIZOT in this article expressing his horror at the occurrence of the insurrection at Messina, as " reveal ing the existence of a party that desires to shed blood." M. Guizox had not this horror of bloodshed in 1830. Had there not been at that period in France a party " that desired to shed blood !" and had not M. GUIZOT and Louis PHILIPPE been at that time of that party, the first would never have been Minister, the last would never have been KING. In a journal pro fessing Legitimatist principles this horror of "a party wile desires to shed blood" would be consistent. In the organ of a dynasty and a Government founded upon a revolution brought about after three days hard fighting in the streets, this profession of a horror of bloodshed is gross hypocrisy. M. GuizoT, however, is so annoyed at the consequences of his crooked policy that some allowance must be made for him. " For the Opposition journals," he patheticLlly ex claims, in this very article, " Italy is only a field which must be turned to account to excite ember rasments for our Government." And it is evident that the Government is as embarrassed as the most virulent Oppositi,nist could desire it to be. A courier arrived on Monday with letters from General NARVAEZ, and a Council of Ministers was immediately held at St. Cloud, at which the KING presided. CHRISTINA and her husband were at the Palace while the Council was in deliberation, and had a long audience of LOUIS PHILIPPE after it: broke up. The determination of the Turkish Government to withdraw the: exeguatur from the Greek Consuls throughout the Ottoman empire is a fresh source of annoyance to M. GUIZOT. The'National says-- "This is going quick to work, andlafter`s debizt of this nature an amicable arrangement can scarcely be hoped for. It is necessary either that M. Colletti shall yield and retire, or that he shall accept the re sponsibility of a state of things with which war is inevitable. At this moment the unfortunate Minister must have his eyes turned towards France, whose protection has caused him so many mortifications. Austria, whom he had chosen as arbitrator, has united with England, Russia, and the other Powers in approv ing of the conduct of the Sultan.`M.:Bourqueney alone has protested at Constantinople. There, therefore, remains to the King of Greece no other resource than M. Guizot. Sad position and sorrowful hope ! Otho may ask his neighbour the Pacha of Egypt, what that support is worth, and what value he ought to esteem the promises which he has received. M. Piscatory, who has driven Greece into this difficulty—who has pledged himself in word and honour to support Co letti, is, it is said, on his way home, to see M. Guizot, p w i i s l e l a b t e o ry the will expense Rain this of his on hisret to defend a po li cy which has been theirs in common. We offer to b e t th at all our Ambassador will gain journey.urn ILe n ve o r t th t e o le b s e s, r A e l : called, and will avoid the eclat of the disavowal which he expects." M. DURAND, the gerant of the Gazette de France, who, on the day the Denweratie Pacyz — que was ac quitted, had been condemned by default to imprison ment for one year and a fin e o f 3,000 francs, for having on the 21st of August published an article on the murder of the Duchess DE PRASLIN, appeared on Monday before the Court of Assize of Paris to purge his contempt, and to answer the charge of the Attorney-General of having excited hatred and con tempt again.t the Government. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the proprietor of the Gazette de France was sentenced to three tenths' imprison ment, and to pay a fine of 2,000 f. (801. British.) In commenting on this prosecution, the Commerce observes— " The Advocate-General, in- developing his requi sitory, did not tail to observe that the Gazette de France was a Legitimatist journal—that is to say, that it clung to the old order of things; and nev ertheless, he s a id, t h at j ournal advocated very liberalgrin ciples. Th e Ad vocate-General from this drew the conclusi on th at t h e lib era li sm of the Gazette is only pretended, and that it ierve.s as a mask to the efforts by which it f Wishe s which toward s to political a liberty regime, was th e n oitn preciselydul gen ce its principal d e f ect. This argument appeared to sue ceed with the jury, and to the effect which it pro duced may be attributed the sentence pronounced. We think that there has here been a surprise in this. It is time to admit the truth. There is at the pre sent moment but one opinion felt by the Legitirhatist party, and that opinion is, that it reconciles itself to all the conquests of the present order of things, and to all the hopes of the future. We do not hesitate to declare that this fact of the conversion of a party merits great consideration. It is necessary that it should be known that the old divisions no longer ex ist; that France is henceforth unanimous. Only the problems to be solved are more profound. The great question amongst us is the full establishment of social order, which is threatened by certain off offal excesses, and other excesses which are the natural re action of them. In this state, it is useless, it is un just to be severe on account of enmities of which we have scarcely the remembrance. It may suit the public prosecutor to recal to mind' on every occasion the history of our former struggles ; the country ought to he raore magnanimous, more politic, more enlightened; every one ought t o b e ) udged according to the activity which he displays in the work of general amelioration." The Courrier Francais having lately contained the following paragraph :—" It appears that a number of shares have bean reserved by MM. TALABOT for the bureaux of tte War Department. It is at least averred that General MOLINE DE ST. YON is inscribed on the registers for 100 definitive shares, &c. ;" the General has addressed a letter to the above journal, giving the moat formal denial to the assertion. " I here declare," says the General, " that I have not the honour of knowing MM. TALABOT ; that I have never found it necessary to have any intercourse with them, and that I have neither a share, nor a promise of a snare, not only in any railroad, but in any industrial enterprise whatever." It would appear that the accounts of the successes of ABD•EL-KADER have been much exaggerated. He has not taken hostile possession of Taza. The Echo, of Oran, gives the following account of the position and prospects of the Emir : "Ever since the Emir has taken refuge in Mo rocco he has established himself on a mountainous zone peopled by Kabyle tribes, who have been in dependent for centuries. His position as a retreat is a good one, but his means of acting beyond it cannot be considerable, from the very constitution of the populations or which he has known to force himself. The interior of the empire, on the contrary, is peo pled by a ramerous inahren, whose existence is connected with that of the Cherifs. The Kabvles would not advmture themselves there after the Emir, and even if ttey consented to follow him, he himself would not darn, with his small army, to march with banners floating against the chief of the religion. There is in what passes, and beyond what our eyes can distinguish, more of reciprocal circumspection than is imagined between the two leaders in this struggle, one of whom is seated on a throne which is splendid in the eyes of Islamism, and the other of whom is under the necessity of not quitting the character of defender of the faith. Thus it is that we saw the latter, after having seized the camp of the Caid El-Amar, endeavour to excuse himself for the victory by pleading the necessity of his own defence. Th 9 corpse of the Caid was not yet cold when he protested his respect for the sacred autho rity of the Emperor. Such are the two situations ; the may be prolonged in these conditions of equili brium, but nay one may calculate the effect which a Christian infuence would produce thereon." The remains of Louts BUONAPARTE, ex-King of Holland, wht died some months since at Florence, are to be deposited at Reuil, beside the tomb of Queen HORTENBE. The infant on of the Duke and Duchess D'AUMALE was christenec on Monday, at St. Cloud. The Duke DR NEMOURS acted for the Duke of SALERNO as sponsor. The Univere gives the following as the result of the harvest in France : "In Brittany and Normandy the harvest was ex cellent, and considerable quantities of new wheat ' have already appeared in the markets. In Upper Normandy wheat sells for 18f. per hectolitre, and in Lower Normandy for 22f. This difference is owing to the grain not being sufficiently dry to be sent to market. The northern markets are also stocked with new wheat. The last market at Lille presented double the quantity brought thither in August. An important reduction in the price has taken place throughout Picardy. It amounted to 7f. or Bf. per hectolitre at Arras ; 6f. to 7f. at Amiens ; Bf. to 10f. at Beauvais ; 7f. to Bf. at Montdidier ; 3f. to 4f. al St. Quentin; sf. to 6f. at Pont St. Maxence, and 8f at Clermont. In the Beauce the fall was not so marked. It, however, averaged 6f. at Char tres and in the neighbouring towns. Large quanti.ios of wheat and flour arrived at HavrA frnm the United States at the close of August, and a fall likewise ensued. In Alsace and Lorraine, at Metz, Nantes, and Strasburg, the markets are abundantly supplied with new corn. In the Meurthe sad Mo selle the same abundance prevails ; and wheat sells, on an average, for 17f. per hectolitre. At Nantes, Tours, and Angers prices continued to decrease in consequence of the numerous offers of new wheat. In the country round Orleans, Bourges, Clermont, and Le Puy, the harvest was most productive, and a con siderable diminution in the rates must shortly mani fest itself. The same may be said of Lyons, Dijon, and Besancon.

S OF THE SUN. T 7 11 ,0 E 711 1' E OR E T D E IT O O U R SlR,—Some time since you reported in your valu able journal an occurrence on the Great Western Railway, whereby the worthy Bishop of Exeter was exposed to inconvenience and seine danger from the impossibility that at present exists of the passengers communicating. with the guards, or the guards with the engine-driver. I was also once subjected to serious inconvenience from a circumstance that oc curred when I was travelling from Liveroool w ith my friend, the late Frederick Yates. A lady who was in the same compartment of the carriage with us suddenly became fran tically mad, and in that fearful state we were obliged to travel upwards of twenty miles until the train arrived at the next station. I fancied my voice was not that of a babby, but I could make no im pression upon the auricular organs of the officials ; and whatever may now occur in any of the car riages must remain unperceived by the guards until the arrival at the stopping place. Now I do not pretend to any engineering skill or experience in railway matters, although I was once nearly terrified out of my propriety in what my friends the engi neers called "a little run" on a locomotive, but which I fancied was a very touch-and-go kind of bu siness which Ido not intend to try again. However, I fancy there exists a simple means of making the guards, hear that the passengers want their attention ; and I would suggest that in each compartment of every carriage there should be suspended a powerful Porteous whistle, such as I frequently . hear used at Apsley House to give notice for op enin g the g ates, when F. M. th e Duke of Wellington and I happen to be going homewards at the same time (not together). The quality of sound possessed by these whistles is excessively acute, and grates terribly on my musical ear, but I am told that that they can be heard at a great distance, and above any rumbling of a train ; so I think that they m i g ht be very advantageously employed for remedying the inconvenience on the subject of which I have ventured to address you. If you will insert my note, which has attained a greater length than I intended,l am, Si r , your obedient sLeßrvant, PAEDFORD. Theatre Royal Adeiph l i, shall sep t. fe l e s l , indebted.lB47. Tun RIVER TIIAME3.-1 morning was one of the lowest tides ever known, even in the memory of the oldest steam-boat captain. In the very centre of the river, close to Waterloo-bridge, the mud was some feet above the water, and at one o'clock the river steamers were compelled to cease plying for the first time s i nce their i n t ro duction on the river. The scene at the Adelphi Pier was graphic in the extreme, almost worthy the pencil of a Hogarth. Beyond the usual floating pier for landing passengers, a plank about ten feet long was rigged, and secured by an upright, over which ladies and all were compelled to climb by the presiding Charon. CIIILD CARRIED OFF BY .4N EAGLE. -A little boy, ten years of age, of the commune of Hery-sur-Alby, in the canton of Geneva, was lately seized by an eagle at the moment at which he had taken some eaglets fr Nm a nest. The bird carried him to a height of upwards of 600 ni :_tres, the summit of a rock, where, luckily, som e violent fright, and en shepherds we., --rained no other injury than a poor boy. 14 had „,, theg g e e d .:o fo w li h n o ii i::_ediately rescued the ' impression.of the eagle's elm> _ r.;+,... 4 ...a., ; -~ ;.._ l MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUANTER TO THREE. The sal-23 of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500 bales. There was a great depression in the market, American sorts being 1. to id. per lb. lower, and Surat id lower. There were 2,000 bales American sold at 641. to 71d per lb. In the Railway Share Market there was rather a better demand, but with a ♦ery limited business. The following are a few of the principal sales of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co.:-- Waterford, Wexford, and Valentia ...:E0 1 3 Northern and Southern Connecting Leicester &Bedford,Exchange Certificate 0 12 6 Louvain ala Sambre Northern Counties Union Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire,Reg. 0 15 0 Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock 0 10 6 Atnbergate, Nottingham, and Boston 0 19 0 North British, Extension 0 12 6 Manchester and Southampton, New 0 17 0 Boston, Stamford, andßirminghttaa ...... 510 0 Newcastle and Berwick, New 7 13 0 Paris and Lyons 2 17 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 7 19 0 North Staffordshire Shrewsbury and Birmingham (B) 1 6 0 The meeting of Bank of England proprietors this morning has been of au interesting character, and a dividend of 4f per cent. has been declared. The state ments made at the meeting show the affairs of the cor poration to be in a prosperous and perfectly sound condition, and with the prospect of the resources of the establishment being steadily strengthened. Some remarks were made upon the subject of the many failures of late years of members of the Board, and it seems probable that upon a future occasion the matter will excite further attention. There are no further arrivals to-day with later news, and we have nothing of special interest in refer ence to the Money Market, in which there is a temporary lull. We understand that the great ca pitalists of the City are resolved to support each other in the present crisis, and this alone, if the statement be correct, should inspire confidence. The accounts from Trieste still advert to the decline in grain, and some accumulation of supplies. The tone of the English Funds has been better this morning, and there have been some money purchases, though not much has been done for account. Consols are 86i I for present transfer, and 861 for time. East India Stock has been at 235. Exchequer-bills are 2E. to Gs. premium. Bank Stock for account is at 196 i. The Foreign Securities are very dull. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 201, and Portuguese Four per Ct-nts. 24f. Mexican Bonds are 19i 1. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 54i to 54t. Railway Shares are flat still, with some few excep tions, but prices aro nevertheless rather higher than yesterday. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.
