HER MAJESTY'S STEAM-SLOOP SPIIYNX. BROOK, Istn OFVIGTIT, JAN. 27.—Since Monday it has been blowing so bard from the smithw.arti that the crew have Lean unable to communicate with the wreck, except for about half an hour yesterday, when Captain Cragg and Lieutenant Marryat went on board for some provisions; at.d succeeded in getting some rum, &c:, ashore. Captain . Austen has not as vet made .any attempt to float the wreck, but hopes ate still entertained of his succeeding next springs. It i s p ro p ose d to lighten her still further, and endeavour to float her with casks. X raft has been con structed to facillitate the eommunication from the shore, but has not yet been used, on account of the heavy surf. No more casualties have occurred. A few of the boys and seamen are suffering from the exposure and fatiguing duty on the beach; the worst cases will be forwarded to the flag ship at Portsmouth at the earliest opportunity, but no seri ous case has appeared. The men are comfortably lodged in Mr. Horne's barn. No desertions have occurred since, nor have the crew committed any excesses; indeed, under the' circumstances, and with very few exceptions, their behaviour has been most orderly. The weather has been very unpropitious for operations upon the wreck, blowing very hard from the S. 'and S.W., ip and in endea vouring with squalls and r a i n .

NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 28.--A severe galalaa been blowing on this cast all eight, and numerons.reports7ef most serious and fatal disasters have been brought in to-day.. One is that a fishing vessel was swamped off the Wigbt, and that all liana perished. This, however, wants i etintirmation. Not so another -disaster. The bri Gipsy, of and from Hull , George Jackson maste r , laden with wheat;end - peas, bound to Cork, which struck at five o'clock . this *ruing on the east end 'of the Woolsners (a most fatal she near Cumberland Fort, about four miles along the Southak.thEire), and con• tinued to do so heavily until half-pasiltight4nearly high water), when she filled. The crew (ten lifditinber) . left her in the longboat a short time previously, and on approaching the shore - she was ' caprized itbttsel And, _would: in evitably have perished but for the bravo alf:devotion of Lieutenant Clark, and the men under his command, of the Hayling Coast-guard station, who, having witnessed the catastrophe, nobly rushed into the surf and dragged them out. Nine out of ten of the crew, including the captain, were thus rescued; the tenth, a boy named John Cliff Atkinson, perished. After the crew got into the surf, the wash of the shingle was so much " alive" as to render their death appa rently certain, and, but for the prompt and gallant conduct above detailed, not a soul would have been saved; as it is, all but one ( the boy) are comfortably lodged ashore, and are doing well. It is expected the brig will be a total wreck. The African steam-tug has been sent out to her assistance by the naval authorities, but was compell e d to return with- j out effecting any good, the vessel being too far on the shoal to enable anything to get near her, and there being a tre mendous sea on. The Echo tug is taking on board materials wherewith to commence operations with the Sphynx the next spring tide, should the weather moderate, of which there appears no pro bability at present. She Will take, among other necessaties, two paddle-box boats,,these b e i ng t h e on l y craft that can live in such heavy seas and fatal surts as prevail in the neighbourhood of the Sphynx.. • The Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavera Anson, and the Con test, 12, Commander 111'lilurdo, were cruising Off Sierra Leone on the 16th ult. The ships were healthy, as was the coast; at the above date. The Cur:ew, 10• gun brig, 233 tons, built at Woolwich, in 1830, has been fitted as a mortar-veyel, upon the plan t‘f Lieutenant Julius Roberts, of the Royal Nl:trine Artillery, as we stated she was ordered to be upwards of nine months ago. A trial of the experiment will take place in a few days, unthr dis . tinguished zuperintendenee. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 23.

Shortly before six _o'clock on Monday evening, a large and highly respectable party of the electors, nearly 200 in num ber, dined together at the Council Chamber, Mr. R. fletley in the chair. The dinner, which was provided by Mr. Ro gers of the Red Lion, and Mr. Figes of the Three, Swans, was a very excellent one, and the- wines were of the best 'quality. After the removal of the clkh, "Non nobis Domine" was finely sung by the musical gentlemen present, who, during the evening, sang several songs and glees in a very superior style, and were much applauded. The usual loyal and occasional toasts followed, and were received with due honours. The health of the Mayor of Salisbury was drunk with three times three. That of the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese - also elicited loud cheering., Mr Pane, in proposing the health of Mr. Campbell Wynd ham, their senior Member, remarked, that, although th e y would very seine be deprived of his services as a representa- Jive, he trusted that they should always have hint as a: neighbour and friend.—(Cheers.) , The Ciramedie then rose, and remarked that they had now arrived at the toast of the evening,- . --the health of Mr. Chaplin—(Cheers.) He congratulated his'-brother electors on the choice they had that day made of a representative— (Cheers.) He had looked forward .with great pleasure to that day, and he firmly believed that Salisbury had on th a t occasion done the best thing she had done for adongtime, since he was fully persuaded that Mr. Chaplin would always feel happy to prom ate the best interests of the city.—(Cheers.) Mr. Chaplin's health was received with continued rounds of cheers, and when he rose to return thanks; the applause was long-continued and of the most enthusiastic character. Silence having at length . been obtained, Mr. Chaplin re marked, that their excellent chairman had 'certainly .given him a good character; but be could not have anticipated that :his Inialth would have been received in such an en thusiastic manner. So very kind a • reception had left him without the power to express the intensity of his feelings.— (Cheers.) He was labouring- under a weight of grati tude—gratitude for what he had just experienced at their hands, and gratitude for the great kindness he had received from the people of Salisbury at large.—(Cheers.) He felt proud of the people of Salisbury. He was proud of their independence—an independence which he _could not have anticipated, since he had heard much of the bribery and torrltptlon, and of the powerful interest brought to bear upon the poorer toter in borough towns: He honestly believed, however, that on that occasion no such influence had been exercised.—(Cheers.) As he bad said in the morn ing, he felt proud at the independence manifested by the people of Salisbury, all classes having joined together, irrespective of party, animated, by the single desire of. contributing to the general good.—(Cheers:) Voters who" had never voted before had come forward on that occa ' lion; and persons who had never before attended an elec tion festival were that evening assembled with them in that room—thus acting together with a praiseworthy independence of party considerations.—(Cheers.) They had sent him as a free and independent man to Parlia ment. His time had hitherto been occupied in priVate.lur suits, so that he had not had occasion to seek the favour of any Government, nor was it very likely that he ever should. —( Laughter and cheers.) His desire was to merge politics in good feeling, and a hearty desire to co-operate for the wel fare of the town.—.(Cheers.) He was aware of the responsi bility he was incurring in taking up a position between the two parties into which Salisbury was divided ; but he should pursue an honest, straightforward course ; and he trusted that ho should experience no difficulty in securing among them a spirit of harmony and good will.—(Cheers.) After a few further remarks, Mr. Chaplin proceeded to say, that he hoped the example of Salisbury would be a base n for the guidance of all the provincial towns in the kingdom.—(Cheers.) The electors f Salisbury had not required from him a pledge; but he voluntarily pledged himself, determinately and sin cerely, to exert himself on all occasions in the best pas. s;bl,l manner to promote the prosperity of the town.— (Cheers. ) In conclusion, Mr. Chaplin proposed as a toast, " Prosperity to the city of Salisbury," with three times three." The next toast was :" The Members for the County." Then followed " The Magistrates for the city," the Chair man remarking that all things had been conducted so quietly of late, that they_ had not had much to do: still they were to be thanked for keeping them in such good order. Mr. T. O. STIVENS returned thanks. He congratulated the meeting on the gratifying manner in which the prc ceedings of that day had passed off, and on the good feeling which had been manifested by all classes in the city—so that the interference of the magistrates had been rendered wholly unnicessary.—(Cheers.) Mr. ANDREWS then gave the healths of the gentlemen who had proposed and seconded the nomination of MN Chaplin, with many thanks to them for the able manner in which they had performed that duty.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Hetley) returned thanks for the very kind manner in which they had received the toast. He assured the company that it was far from his wish to have taken so prominent a part in the pro ceedings of the day. Another gentleman would have pro posed Mr. Chaplin, had he not been prevented bya bad cold. Having put his shoulder to the wheel, however, he (Mr. Het ley) was determined not to stop at any point, but to go through with any duty he might be required to undertake —(Cheers). He again returned thanks for the kindness with which the toast had been received. Mr, Fawcear returned thanks in an able address, in which he said that he had never in the whole course of his life felt more just reason to be proud than of the part he had taken that day in seconding the nomination of Mr. Chaplin as their representative. He felt proud also that he had been in some measure instrumental in introducing Mr. Chaplin to their notice, since he knew that that gen tlemanmust prove most acceptable to the city.—(Cheers.) Free trade was now settled, and 'all parties concurred in the opinion that it ought to have a full and fair ' trial.—(Cheers.) Mr. Fawcett then pointed out the advan tages to be derived by Salisbury from railway extension, as affording employment to the poor, and giving the means Of a ready transit to all parts of the United Kingdom, which would lead people from a distance to visit them, and purchase the commodities for which Wiltshire was celebrated—corn and cattle—they receiving in turn fuel and other commodi ties of which they stood in need for domestic use. He was convinced, that great benefit would thus be experienced by free commercial intercourse, not merely by his fellow citizens, but by the country at large.—(Cheers.) After some further remarks, Mr. Fawcett concluded by the expression of an earnest wish that all present might long live to see Mr. Chaplin their representative, and that Mr. Chaplin might for many years occupy the position in which they had that day placed him.—(Cheers.) The health of Mr. George Pain was then proposed by Mr. Vandenhoff, and heartily responded to. In returning thanks, Mr. Pain acknowledged the very kind and enthusiasted manner in which the toast had been received. He had felt it to be his duty to act, in the present instance, for the interests of the city. He defied any one to say, that he had ever in the course of his life acted upon improper motives.—(Cheers.) He had, in the present awful circumstances of the country, thought' it better to consult the best interests of his fellow-citizens in preference to adhering to the interest of party, and he trusted, by the blessing of God,' that the step they had that day taken would be attended by the happiest con sequences. The health of the Vice-Presidents followed—an honour for which Mr. W. Blackmore returned thanks. ' ' Mr. T. 0. STEVENS then, in an able address, proposed, as a toast, " Prosperity to the South-Western Railway Com pany, and the health of the Secretary, Mr. Laurentz Camp bell." In the coarse of his speech, Mr. Stevens remarked, that he had at one period been opposed to railway construc tion, being apprehensive that that mode of transit would have the effect of centralising and drawing all thletraflic from the provinces to the metropolis; but having 'noticed the general extension of railways throughout the kingdom, he had become aware that it was absolutely essential that Salis bury should be included in that mode of communication. Ti,eei, with regard to any alleged chaege in his political prin ciples, he had only to observe, that the present was not the time to sacrifice the general welfare to mere party feeling.— (Cheers.) He thought the step they bad just adopted cal • culated to further the best interests of Salisbury, and he had therefore felt it to be his duty, irrespective of political con siderations, to use his best exertions to secures tho return of their new member. —(Loud chews.) Mr. LAURENTZ CAMPBELL (after the cheering had sub sided) said, that he felt deeply the compliment which had been paid him by coupling his name with that of the power ful body lie rose to represent; but he felt also very great diffidence in assuming such a position in the presence of their new representative—(Cheers) —the Chairman of the Company in whose name he then appeared before them.— (Cheers.) He said he would take that opportunity of thanking Mr. Chaplin for the courtesy and confidence he had shown towards him in intrusting him with a duty he (Mr. Chaplin) could so much more ably and beneficially have performed.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Campbell) assured them that he was quite conscious that the rapturous manner in which the toast was received arose entirely from the feel ing of kindness felt in that city—and on all occasion shown —towards the South-Western Company; and in returning them, in the name of that company, his sincere thanks for the honour which had been done them, he assured them that it would be a . proud satisfaction to him to represent, and a source of the deepest gratification to his directors to learn, that 'their labours were so highly appreciated, and their future peosperity so unanimously and earnestly desired by the inhabitants of Salisbury.--( Loud cheering.) He assured them that the direction of the South Western Railway was composed of gentlemen of every shade of political opinion, but that they were unanimous in request ing their chairman to come before the people of Salisbury— (Cheers) and that they would not only be equally unanimous in their congratulations upon his return (Cheers )—but that they would with one heart rejoice in the peaceful tendencies and results of that day.—(Loud cheers.) Personally, he (Mr. Campbell) bad taken perhaps a conspi cuous, but he trusted not an obtrusive part in these proceed ings ; for no one valued more highly than he did those rights of freedom in election which had been so honourably vindi cated, and so nobly exercised, by the electors of Salisbury— (Loud cheers)—but, believing, as he did, that the success of railway enterprise depended mainly upon a thorough appre ciation of the wants and feelings of the inhabitants of those localities through which the railway was carried, he would have failed in his duty had he not done all in his power . to make their acquaintance at a time wh er e - the of all parties, at) opportunity was off whop, by happy union rarely to be met with.—(Cheers.) H would not enter upon the question of politics; but this he would say, that the re sult 4.f this election was, in fact,atriuph of rincinle over party; it was an echo of that spirit which, breathed' by the Sovereign in her Speech, bad inspired the Legislature, and would, be hoped, go forth and actuate enlightened England, enduring Scotland, and unhappy Ireland, as the surest mode of 'alleviating those calamities which he prayed might be averted, but which now so unhappily imptehne railway oed system(Loudand continued cheering.) With respect to generally, it had, in hisCampbell's)an espe cial this Cathedral city—this teat (Mr. opinion, claim to the sympathy of of Christianity; for he believed that its t e g p e r n o e g r r a e l ss a o d f op e t i i ‘ o .i n . would prove of the greatest benefit to h lisation and to the extension of the saving truths of the Gospel.—(Cheers.) In r an t s; a .e t r t t h o e by the preceding speake , a s n pr a e p a p d re o h f " ra si irva e y x s p w re e s ul lead to a system of metropolitanhecceonutirdalgistatiteitont,heMr.Camp bell said that he had no doubt apprehen sions of his friend Mr. Stevens, and present, when he informed themt d h st of the the ocbejmeeptenoyf then South Western Co m p was to render Salisbury their point of centralisation in the e n West of England.—(Loud cheering.) But he ilid,not believe that the intelligent citizens of Salis bury bad chosen a r epresentative simply from the prospective benefit to be derived f ro m that undertaking 'of which he was the chairman; but i it was_ because they knew - that 'the direr ' , toll an d shareholders of that railway were men of great in fluence, of great intelligence, and of great commercial enter prise, and would not have placed at their bead a man unequal to represent them; and they knew,: moreover, that the cite of London would not elect as their Sheriff a g:ntleman worthy to represent Salisbury.—(Checrs.) Kr. Campbell then said, that, as his chairman and their representative was c maparatively a stranger to them, while he was, is conse quence of his close official relation with Mr. Campbell, inti mately known to him, he hoped to be allowed briefly to de tail what he conceived the leading characteristics of Mr. Chaplin to be. Mr. Chaplin was gifted with extraordinary foresight, to which was added the greatest energy, persever ance, and an unflinching Integrity—(Cheers) —and all these qualities, he could assure them, were engrafted on the kindest of hearts.—(Loud cheers.) He could assure them that, in his (Mr. Campbell's) extensive acquaintance, he had never met a man al completely devoid of politi cal partisanship; and, therefore, whatever might be: said, he could assure them, that Mr. Chaplin had sacri ficed no principle for the sake .of a temporary advantage—: (Cheers)—but that he was in . the habit of bringing _his' strong practical mind to bear upon every subject withono prejudice ' as it arose before him ;—in fact., as a politician, it might of him, if it ever could of any man, be said, tl.at " In moderation plving all his glory, While Tories called him Whig; the Whigs, a Tory." After the loud cheering had ceased, Mr. CAMPBELL proposed, as a toast, " Mr. Alderman Pain, and the Town Council of Salisbury." 114,,.P.Ane returned thanks. The next toast was " Mr. Chaplin's agents." Mr. R. H. Honnifig returned thanks. The Cl/Ammar; then proposed, as a toast, " Mrs. Chaplin and the Ladies." Mr. CIL in returning thanks, said, that Mis. Chaplin would always feel happy to join the ladies of Salisbury, and assist then in their kind efforts in behalf of the poor ann deserving of their own „sex in Salisbury and its neighbour hood.—(Cheers.) The toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers " followed, after wilier' the meeting broke up. RAILWAY I.NTELLIGEN.CE. - SOUTHAMPTON AND DORCIIESTER.-Mr..Peto confi dently expects to be able to complete this line by the Ist of May, next, and htriiti receive G.. - handome,premiain in the-event of his coin o. The line between GraVesend and Rochester is to be re-opened in thec - ourse of the ensuing month. A junc tion has been formed near the Gravesend terminus to connect the London and Gravesend branch of the South- Eastern, in the course - of formation. SOUTH WALES.—The works are rapidly progressing. The portion from ICidwelly to Whiland will soon receive the permanent way: The company have offered the contractor a large premium if he completes the works earlier than she time specified in his contract. The Kelso branch of the Newcastle and Berwick is to be proceeded with immediately, from Tweedmouth to 'Sprouston, twenty miles. NOTTINGUADI AND LINCOLN.— The branch from' 'Newark to Mansfield is staked out, and the works will be commenced forthwith.. The surveyors are busy _staking out a branch from Nottingham through Basford to Mansfield, and Pinxton near Sutton-in-Ashfield, which will shortly he ready for the contractors. YORK AND NEWCASTLE.—The new line, in connexion with Sunderland, f rom P ens h er, i s staked cut frcm the main line to the Mill field cottages, at the north-west end of Bishopwearmotyli, and is in length about: G,l miles. It runs parall,l with the river Wear till opposite Deptford, when it takes a southerly direction by Dia mond HA to Illilliikl, and thence in a curve past Sun derland Infirmary, across the Stockton-road on the north side of Building hill, by Hendon-terrace, to the pro jected docks. At Claxheugh rock there will be a cutting through limestone forty feet deep for some distance, and the whole of the way from near Diamond Hall to the shipping terminus will pass over ground at present occu pied by dwellings and garden ground for the space of nearly a mile and a half. This branch from Pensher to Sunderland docks will be let in eight contracts, it is said, in order that it may speedily be. done, so as to get by railway from Pensher quarries the freestone required for the construction of the new docks at Sunderland. The new station will be near the Burdon-road, in.a line with Fawcett-street. A new station is also to be erected forthwith near the bridge at Monkwearmouth, in con nexion with the branch from that part of the town to Shields and Newcastle.: All these important improve ments will be completed in the courso of the ensuing summer. NORFOLK.—At the approaching special meeting, the proprietors will have to consider propositions---1. For authorising the directors to convert the present loans on mortgage into capital, by . the creation of new shares. And 2. authorising the directors, under the powers of the Act 8 Vic., cap. 16, to consolidate the 101. shares into the general capital stock of the Company. ROYSTON _AND HrreinN.—This Company, of which Lord Dacre is Chairman, propose to extend their line, and, on satisfactory terms being made, lease it to the Great Northern. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH CoAsT.—Captain Coddington has recently inspected the branch from Brighton and Chichester, and also that from Brighton to Hastings, both of which have been undergoing im provements, and also having a double line of rails laid down. The Inspector• Gene -al expressed himself per fectly satisfied with the works, and the lines will be opened in a day or two. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN.—The section be tween Londonderry and Strabane is to be opened in the middle of February. The Company are to take mails to and from Londonderry, the time allowed being half an hour. SOUTH- EASTER)? (WW siccing rrARBOUR).—For several months engineers have been employed improving the harbour at Whitstable, in order to render it a prin cipal coal depot. A substantial breakwater has been erected, which has been singularly successful in its ac tion, having deepened the entrance and the harbour from four to seven feet, enabling colliers of any tonnage to unload. The work has been designed by Mr. Barlow, the acing engineer of the Eastern Counties. SURVEY OF THE HALIFAX AND QUEBEC.—The various parties engaged on this important survey, now in charge of Lieutenant Her.derson, R.E., have assembled at Fre dericton, where a building has been hired and fitted up as offices. Messrs. Wightman and John Grant, and the surveying sappers, are now engaged in calculating the barometrical and other observations, and compiling plans of the various routes explored. One line for the pro posed railway has been explored as far north as the north-west branch of the Restigouche, and another line, formerly examined for a military road, has been ex plored from the Bend to the Waagan portage, between Grand River and the I cad waters of the Restigouche. The country north of the Restigouche, and thence to the St. Lawrence, has not yet been examined, but it is proposed to commence that service early in March next. The exploring parties have met with a tract of very broken and hilly country stretching directly across New Brunswick, from the Tobique to the Bay Chaleur, &which will require further examination before the central line for the railway can b 3 determined upon. It is hoped that the central line' will be settled next summer, and then the exact survey for the railway will be commenced, the duties at present being confined to seeking the short est and most praetkal route. The whole of the la mented Captain Pipon papers, which were left by him at Madawaska, have been brought to Fredericton, and are now deposi.el in the fire-proof safe at the railway office. The surveying sappers have great experience, and are man admirably qualified for the service on which they are engaged. Not a moment is lost in the progress of the weak, which is pressed on as fur u the nature of the duty will admit. Nettling has yet been done with refer ence to the disputed boundary between this province and Canada, owing to the sudden death of Captain Pipon; but the railway survey has not thereby been delayed. THE BREAK OF GRACE AT GLOUCESTER.—Some months since the country was in a ferment on die ques tion of the break of guage, and the station at Gloucester gained an unenviable notoriety as the most inconvenient terminus in Great Britain. Our Gloucester correspondent informs us that one source of general complaint has been remedied, showing some slight symptoms of concession. Until let. ly the Great Western and the Birmingham and Bristol stations were separated by partitions, whereby, on the arrival of the several trains, some contusion was created by transferring luggage from one station to an other through the narr, w apertures in the walls ; the in • convenience of break of guage was thereby greatly ag gravated. These partitions have been reaently taken down, and the terminus now presents a commodious appearance, besides being less obstructive to the efforts of those who were desirous of mitigating the inconveni ence of a break. ENLAROLDIENT 'OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES GOODS DEPOT.—The goods depot of the 'Eastern Counties, at Bethnal green,is now being enlarged to about three times its original extent. A number of miserable thoroughfares, crowded with wretched dwellings, have been demolished to make way for the warehouses which are now being erected - on their site. Of late the goods traffic has in creased enormously; the weekly receipts amounting to nearly 4,000/. SUNDAY TRAINS ON THE EASTERN UNION.—At the half-yearly meeting of the Ipswich and Bury St. Ed mund's (which is to be amalgamated with the Eastern Union), to be held on Friday, an effort, we understand, is to be made to outvote the directors in suppres,ing and the running of trains on. a Sunday. A memorial, t,ig d b m nearly 3CO inhabitants of Ipswich, is about being that ole pre sented to the chairrn and director., praying Sunday trains en the Colchester and- Ipswich Ips wich and Bury St. _Edmund lines should he aboliAred. At tl • last half-yearly meeting a simi l a r. att m3pt was made, but failed. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.--A requisi tion has been sent to the directors of the Birmingham and Oxford, for a special general meeting, for the eke Lion of new directors, and for the re-consideration of the proposals of the Great Western for its purchase. NEWMARKET AND CHESTERFORD.—The call of 51. on the shares of this company is to continue, and not to commence the - works. So much has .been said, and so many evils have beer predicted, 0/ all matters connected w i t h railways am' their formation, that- some people (observes a cor , e spondent) inay perhaps wonder how a single share re mains to he quoted, but experientia docet, and people will for the future be only led by t rut h . If a_fow millions of our bullion are destined t o b e drawn from the Batik coffers for various requisites, we are most fortunate in having it in deposit to meet the demand. It may now be a fair question t o put a spoke in wheelhee the site of railways; net on l y do they hold out labour e to the poor, but does it not happen most fortunately at the moat mount, that tuck an amount oF capital should (./ ic,() -. 7,1,„.__f_ ... ,, , have been brought forward for undertakings and specu ations in the-country? All our railways, it is true, absorb a largeamouct of our individual means, but they do not send our money to supply foreigners; and it -is doubted' whether, had it not been for our railways, spe aulationa abroad would not have deprived us of that deposit we can now ~ p are. All money matters in the aggregate, between nation and nation, are,. er rather should be, a eubjeet of deep interest and consi deration. There are unfortunately few who understand its viral importance; but one thing is certain, that an incredible amount is lost annually by us as a nation, brought about by our exchange with foreigners, and con sequent on a fallacious arrangement of tl.e standard of ' value and eireelatiag medium of this c mntry, and the sooner the evil is root( d up the better for our prosperity. EXPERIMENTS ON THE PARIS AND ST. GERMAN ATMOSPHERICA few days ago expesimoents wsre made oa this lice between the stations-at the weed of Vesinet, and the park of the Chateau, in the ereserce of several members of the Legislature, engineers, and ethers lute rested in the atm& nherie system.. 'A train, containing e . • -1 the sisitorte left the Paris station, ll St. Lazare, at as quarter pasteleven o'clock, and arrived at the Vesinet at 40 minutes past. The signal to set in motion the sta tionary engine,at St. GermAin, was sent by the electric telegraph laid down under the direction of M.

H 0 • - THE COUNTY OF MAYO.' - The county—of4layo is rather i r e er than Narfolk. Its population is less by about 25,000, having been in 1841 38,000. The total area is 1,363,000 statute ag es, Three— fifths of the whole county may be said to be made up of wastelands, and of these nearly halt a million of acres are. returned as reclaimable. The people of this county, ,so far" as we can judge from official slat= menus, appear to he as peaceful as those of any shire in Great Britain. Their ca lendars have not furnished arguments to the authors of- Coercion Bills, and the criminal returns of the seven years ending in 1844 (the latest at hand) do not show a single ex ecution. We hear of Mayo chiefly through fhe crowds of harvest labourers, who annually scrape together a little money jn England by the most self-denying economy, that they may pay the rent of potato-plots, and secure a winters plenty for their families at home. The county which is thus possessed of such vast unde veloped resources, and which is inhabited by a race who prove themselves not incapable of toil, frugality, or fore sight, belongs to that region of Ireland in which the present calamity is most deeply felt. The loss of the potato and oat crops has not been anywhere more extensive, and no county presents a picture of mere wide-spread and appalling • a. Famine and fever are rapidly thinning the popula- The deaths are fianel too frequent for inquests, and -yen the decencies of epultere are often foregene in the tesperate extremity to which the living are reduced. Yet :here is no cutbreels of - violence. The strong man wastes way from day to day, and in the end ;inks over his work. The aged, and the helpless of all kinds, lie down when the last hope is gone, and calmly await the issue. The case of this patient and suffering people ap peals powerfully to every humane sympathy. All that the utmost effort con do should be done to alleviate their misery. But we are also bound to consider carefully, and to use boldly, the best means in our power for permanently raising the condition of this peasantry, and securing them, if it be possible, aga i ns t a recurrence of such afflictions. With such a soil and such a population as we have described, this ought not to be a task beyond the powers ; of the Legislat ure . e have shown o n former occasions a mode in which, as it seems to us, it might be performed without difficulty. It is, lickseves, about to be attempted in a different way. Lord John Russell has dis closed the leading fsatures of:the policy by which he hopes to regenerate Ireland. If this policy is at all likely to suc ceed, it would seem fair to infer that its most striking and decisive results must be experienced in Mayo. There, if anywhere, the materials of a new social creation are ready to the hand of the legislator. No Atlantic intervenes be• tween the land that wants labour and the labourer that wants work. The : natural resources of a colony, and the industrial and moral powers of an old country, are there brought together. A policy which is good for any thing ought to be able to produce in Mayo the comfort and prosperity of Norfolk. misery t ion. LETTER OF ABD-EL-KADER TO THE GENERAL IN .COMMAND AT ORAN. The following letter, of the authenticity of which we I , aVe r.o means of judging, from Abd-el-Kader to a - French General, whose name is not given, but who is probably the General in command at Oran, who exerted himself for the release of the prisoners, is published by the Semairte:— "Fr(in the. Emir of the Mussuimans, El Sid el Hadji Abet el-Bader--whom may God protect General : May God bestow his generosity on all who hold the faith, and may the satety and the mercy' of . God be upon every true believer, upon all who do' not • wander from the right way to salvation. We shall ac quaint you, as between'friends and neighbours, that when your prisoners, who wt re in our hands, the Colonel and his companions. had lost all hope from the Marshal, from General Lanioriciere, and the others, they applied to us for p. rmia.ion to write to you, and they did write to you, after we had several dints given thtm leave to do so ; but the ansvv/ rs were not favour tile. When the prisoners dernatia, d an audience of us we granted it to them, and they put to us the following question : Why have you slain our companions ? We answered them:—lt was your brethren who command at Algiers and over its dependencies who slew them. We also said :—At the time we set at liberty more than 100 prisoners, who were at Tagdempt, we sent them to Bugeaud, but he did not appreciate that service. Tot it is just that Sovereigns should recompense such services. We have kept silence—we have not spoken one word on the subject of a single prisoner taken from us. After that you and your companions fell into our hands. We have treated you with care and respect, and even better than we have treated our own troops. Bugeaud has committed a thing so. violent that no true soldier would have committed it. We sent him one of our chosen chiefs to confer with him on an exchange of prisoners. This man was thrown into prison, where he has remained. Where upon we exclaimed with astonishment—in all countries, in all times, an envoy charged with letters has had nothing to fear. How, then, dues it come to pass that Bugeaud, who is a marshal, should do a thing not allowed to any man ? How can it have entered into the mind of the French, who are men of reason and capa city, strong and warlike, that the Sultan of Fez could take from us by tOrce prisoners, and above 'all when acquainted with things in general, and not ignorant of our affairs or those of others ? This it is that has se much displeased us, and become the cause of our having given orders to slay your companions. When the pri soners had heard our words they all replied Yes! yes ! yes! Some days after this conversation, the prisoners became reconciled, end having had proofs of our bounty, or geLerosity, or good treatment towards them, had recourse to the chiefs of on: Deirah and to our to endeavour to obtain from us their delivery. We yielded to the prayers offered up to us in their favour, and consented to set them at liberty, con forming to what is written in the Feta of the book of oar Prophet, which says, ' Begin by taking prisoners, but afterwards act them at liberty, either by means of exchange or for nothing.' On being aslceil by what road they wished to depart, they replied by that of Melilla. We consented to this, and sent for the chiefs who commando iu the environs of Melilla. They came to us ; we gave them the charge, and they undertook it. We have re capitulated all that first took place, in order that you may be fully informed, and in ease there shall be any question raised in the Chamber or elsewhere you may say that which is just and right on our account No one can blame you, no one can reproach you if you come to 'oe an intermediary between us and France, your nation. You will have the merit, so far as it concerns yourself and your country, in obtaining from your Sultan a grewer and more eminent -favour than this, for he is greater than we are in age and sovereignty, and his ex perience is above ours. 'On your part no evil has hap pened between us as has happened bowcen us and the Marshal, through ill-intentiotied persons of our country, who have sown discord atnorg us and him by means of falsehoods and lies, to which tie lisened to the extent of taking no account of the good we have done for him.
