EVENING EDITION, TliE APPROACHING DONCASTER RACES. (Prom the Doncaster Gazette.) The recurrence of the great annual fete which Don ei4ster presents cannot be viewed but with the greatest interest. It may be fairly questioned whether at any former period of racing career, the several meetings throughout the kingdom have been better attended than has been the case during the present ar. The cur :eit3 of royal patrocav, too, a nd the opera:ion of rail- ways, will give an undoubted end a powerful impetus to - rli-3 meetings; and the opening of the North Midland Railway throughout the whole line will wonderfully contribute to swell the immense mass of spectators. The metropolis will pour out its immense numbers, 'which will be swelled by all the large towns by which trio North Midland is fed Birmingham, Wolver hampton, Coventry, Leicester, Derby, Notting ham, Chesterfield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wake field, Leedv, York, besides all the other large towns of Lancashire (Manchester and Liverpool in particular) and Yorkshire, as well as the northern parts of the kingdom. The very certainty that a ride of a few hours' duration over a space of upwards of 160 miles, without being out all night, with the certainty of meet ing with no disappointment in returning, will have the effect of thousands to vi.it Doncaster this year who never thought of taking such a drliAtful trip before. Ideoce the presence of a larger number of visitors than has ever before been present on this splen tli:l oce.v3:on may be confidently atiticipted, notwitti staiadiug• the -wisdom of all the croakers, who, from time immemorial, hare never been satisfied with any body or ;toy and who,'for the last twenty years, have maintained that Doncaster is gradually decaying, in the face of larger entries, and the decidedly superior running of fait year. _it appears that, at the present time, no exertions are vp,lred to meet the vrishos and semi - iodations of the I.ItIMtTOUS %isitOrs. fhe running, too, will be of the first order. Not only ils3.2a . the greatest interest prevail with regard to the of the great event of the week, the St. Leger, but with respect also to the Champagne, and the Two }„ar olds, and the Cup, of the value of 350 guineas. The tatter event, indeed, will be an extremely sporting. rz;ce; f; cm the fact that ail the best horses of the pre soit day will be brought into the most determined competition.. Respecting the decision of the St. Leger, L tuncelot continues at the head of the betting scale. as friends are numerous—many from the considera tion Merely that be is in Scott's stables. Many doubts have prevailed whether Crucifix will ever reach Don caster. These, however, have been partly removed by the sudden rise which took place at Tattersall's on Monday last. All doubts will be fully cleared up in tiia course of a few days. If the mar? comes to Don c.:ster in her peifict furpi—seeing that she has proved be%clt the very best racer of her year, and considering the same time that she carries Sib, less than her more formidable competitors,—her extraordinary speed !ei9lution v ill enable her to add to her other great _ carryingoff the St. Leger of 1840. tie CUP.—Thit.splendid priz,2, which will be con tended for at the ensuin4 races by the first horses in tb' kingdom, is a richly chased vase in the style of Lotiis on a triangular base, on the corners of which arre placed three spirited horses and men, in the att.atde of the celebrated horses at Monte Cavallo. noble animal, R :ekin!..ham (the winner of the St. in 11;33), the property of Mr. Tlpobald, of kel% was the model of the horses, which the as copied with great fidelity and success.

Tao workmanship is truly beautiful. V:C: , ,rtcs tt.e bo NORTHERN RAILWAY. Thd Town Council of Aberdeen have agreed to a ni,:rnorial, which is thus explained : Th e ' , w riest said that the Council were generally aL , Are that in. the course of last summer, some public spirted individuals in this city, in conjunction with gnii:einen resident in Edinburgh, had a survey made by eminent railway engineers, with the view of con vecting Aberdeen with Edinburgh and Glasgow, by rot.:ris of a railroad. The country between these cities was examined, levels were taken, and a plan made out, • .the proposed lines (both by Stirling and tni:tuigh Fife), and the railroads connected therewith, executiA, in progress, or projected ; and a full feport was also prepared, with estimates of the ex p,nse of the execution, of the traffic, and of the re velue. The report and estimates were satisfac :iy to the gentlemen concerned, and he be ;i..ved that the consideration of the subject r:ould be submitted to the public as soon :v; the other railways to the south and west of l'Ainhurgh %sere sufficiently advanced to warrant them Ptc.,cedinT.

The main line ought not, he conceived, ro be made to suit att ! y part;cu!ar district or locality, but to be formed on the broad principle of general utility. With this view be o:ought that the Magistrates and Council should roe• nioralize the Lords of the Treasury, praying them to ex- i tend the powers of that Commission so af , that the sur vey might be continued northward as far es Aberdeen, and a report furnished on the best line for connecting this, city with Edinburgh and Glasgow.—lnverness Courier.

Died by the visitation of God," When it is considered that the new commercial treaty combined with it a general change in the internal re gulations of the country, it is hardly time yet to pro nounce upon the efficacy or failure of the attempt. The Turkish Government have adopted mea sures intended to carry into effect the views of the new treaty, and have even extended them in the hatti scheriff issued subsequently to, and in support of it, Upon the healthful operation of these extensive changes introduced into the commercial administration of Turkey depend in reality the existence of the empire in the scale of independent nations. Neither internal commotion nor the ambitious jealousy of her neighbours can cause the downfall of Turkish rule if her resources and capabi lities for commerce are but once made to operate for the benefit of the empire. The pre-eminence which in that instance Turkey must necessarily &luxe in the whole of Southern Europe and the Levant by the proper in tercharge of her comaiodities with Great Britain more especially, is sufficient to afford her that friendly and consistent support which alone is requisite to insure her stability.—Tinies. TURKISH COMMERCE. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 15.— , -There is no sub ject of mare general imp.iranee at the present day than the eau,' condition of Turkey in a commercial point of view. I shall proceed to remark upon some few points that have fallen under my particular observation. Toe manufactured articles chiefly imported into Con stantinople from Europe, are—cottons, woollens, cutlery, silks, velvets, and glass ware. The greater part of the imports consists of cotton manufacture and cotton twist from Great Britain. By an approximate valuation of the goods imported from England, made from en exa mination of the manifests of cargoes in 1837 and 1838, the imports were estimated at about 1,500,0001. per annum. It has been stated that the transit trade to Persia in manufactures is three-eighths to two-thirds of the imports from England ; thus the re mainder, deducting two-thirds from 1,500,000/., would give about the reel amount of Turkey aame. The value of the xports to Great Britain from Turkey ap peared from the same calculation to be only about 600,0001. Now that there ought to be a free trade in virtue of the commercial treaty, exportation may ex ceed impertetion materially. In such an event, as money becomes more abundant in the country, so will a demand for foreign manufactures increase. At * the present moment the imports from, and exports to, Great Britain form the greatest proportion of the trade of Turkey. The chief Turkish exports are raw silk, gnats' wool, sheep's wool, galls, yellow berries, box wood, and opium. The system of trade pursued by many of the mer chants here (rayahs) is, generally speaking, most unfa vourable to the country. They menage to buy up in all cases of crisis by advance upon the crops—a pro ceeding much to be reprobated, and which it is to be hoped the enactments of the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane will in future do away with to a considerable extent. The circulation of capital, too, has hitherto been very imperfect. The whole of the imports are sold on credit. I have the authority of one of the first merchants in stating, that when sales are now paid for in double the time specified it is thought very fortunate—that in a country where the legal per tentage is 12 per cent. per annum, and where the best hills are often discounted at 11 to 2 per cent. per month ! The latter in a great de gree has been the fault of the fluctuating state of the Government coinage, which now for the first time has been put upon an honest footing. Another evil, and one pressing for instant attention, is the great extent to which smuggling is still carried on at the ports, more particularly of Smyrna and of Con stantinople. The Turkish authorities themselves, from the laxity and venality of their Government, have been the principal cause of the success of illicit trade. Their employes in the Custom-house still receive sala ries upon which it is impossible that they can alone support themselves. The Commission for the arrange ment of the commercial treaty were anxious to establish a penalty on the detection of contraband ; but, besides the difficulty attending the condemnation of goods so seized, it was founa that the old Austrian treaties stipu fated that double duties only should be levied in such instances. Hence, us every nation would claim, in individual cases, to be upon the footing of " the most favoured," such a course was found to be impracti cable. kustria, as usual, is in this instance a bar to herself and to others. There exists great necessity for the proper establishment here, on the p- rt of Great Thitain, of a local judicial system, applicable net only to the crime of smuggling, but also to all other delin quencies ccmaritted by British subjects. Such a course absolutely necessary for the protection of the honest mer chant, and, on the other band, to demonstrate to the Turkish Government the integrity and liberality of the relationship which for the future we wish to establish with them. The Turks are not allowed to punish foreign subjects or proteges. Their police may arrest and imprison, but then the foreign authority must be informed of it, and unless the evidence is such as exae'ly to satisfy the foreign law, the delinquent is given up. and ultimately released ; and in most cases merely be cause the foreign authorities have no local etiminal code upon which the:r subjects can be judged. In the instance of British subjects offending, the criminal must be sent to Malta, and there it requires witnesses and evidence in volving a little fortune todefray the expenses. The conse quence is, that this place swarms with Maltese and lonians of the most notorious Character, and upon whom there is little or no check. Such is the ill-defined na ture of the judicial powers with which even the English Consul-Genersl in his civil authority is invested, that even in his own department, although a man of the soundest judgment, it is with the greatest difficulty he can be brought to give any decision. The general opi nion of merchants here best informed upon the subject is, that the British Ambassador at the Porte ought to preside over a criminal court whose object would be to aid and supervise the local authorities concerning questions in which British subjects were involved. Nor would such a plan be at all inconsistent with the pre sent functions of a British Ambassador at this place, for not only is he vested in Turkey with ordinary ambas sadorial privileges, but in relation to his country's sub jects he is also in the light of a colonial goveinor. There is another remedy which might operate on the part of the Turkish authorities themselves—namely, that when strangers arrive here with the intention of set tling-, they should ascertain their character, trade, and pursuits, and, where necessary, obtain a guarantee for their good behaviour. Why should the Turks be the least favoured of any nation in those respects ! By some such regulation, as much due to our national honour as to the Turkish Government, the character of our authority would stand far higher than it does at present. With respect to exchanges, the largest operations are with London, Vienna, Marseilles, and Trieste. Extra ordinary fluctuations sometimes occur, owing to the circumstance of there being no bank of discount. Every merchant is in consequenc , ... his own cashier, and his money being generally otherwise employed, it often happens that large orders arriving to be executed (in silk or corn, for instance), and requiring to be paid for in cash, negotiations have to be pressed, and the ex changes necessarily give way. Tne weekly exchanges at present do not exceed 30,0001. for European opera tions. I shall now subjoin a few remarks respecting the produce of raw silk in Turkey, a rising and most important branch of Turkish commerce. The pro duce of raw silk was formerly confined to the Pashalic of Brossa, but is n.,w also extensively cultivated about Adrianople and in Salonica. " Broussa silk,' in its manwactured state, is confined solely to Turkey, nor is it applicable to any other market. The produce of an ordinary good rccolte may be esti mated at about 7,000 bales, of 40 tiffees each ; in all about 1,190,0001b5. English. The silk was, some years ago, wound off on large reels of about 300 inches in circumference, and was then only serviceable in Eng land for the manufacture of r;band ; bnt lately they have begun to imitate the Italian silk, and have em• ploycd reels of from 72 to 80 inches. They have suc ceeded ia bringing it. to such perfection as last. year to be wor hin London from 225. to 245. pc r lb. The Turkish Government received in the intericr on its production 10 p' r cent. on the market value ; and by the new to r ff, on arriving here from the interior, they receive 9 per cent, or 27 piastres per teffee ; they ec,iv eon export.- I tton a farther 3 per cent. ; in all 22 per cent. Since the growers have found it to their advantage to wind the silk in short reels, the cultivation and produc tion are greatly increasing, and may before many ye,rs be doubled ; and now thet its quality crimes in eomputit:on with that of China and Italy, England alone would take any quantity that they could pro. duce. Of the 7,000 bales of silk estimated as the production of Broussa, about 3.000 go to England, and 1,000 to France ; the rest in smaller quantities to Russia, Holland and America, leaving about 1,700 hales for home consumption. The silk of Salonica and Adrianople in commensurately on the increase, but I have not ha , l the same opportunities of estimating the amount of their production as in the instance of Broussa. THE SUN, LOITDOW, SATURDAY, SEPTEMMER IA4O. HIS MAJESTY the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA having AUTHORISED and GUA RANTEED several DINT R I BUT lONS of MONEY DIVIDENDS, which ( thoo , Th they 4.re NO LOTTERIES) affer many possibilities of obtaining ( NELL is bound, we think, in proposing the legis lative separation of Ireland, to sketch the plan by which the other parts of the empire may be govt rut d after the great constitutional chine is made which he proposes. If he lad suggested an equal Fede ral Union of the three parts of the empire, each with its Parliament, some Centtal Legisla tive body representing the whole, by which, for the benefit of all, our vast colonial empire might be administered- , --for it has been built up by , men three decided, w Ic ingdcme should s—arl have thought,atiydifferetice whatever differences betwixt m the the difficulties there mi g h t b e i n carry i ng out three such a plan, that there was something grand, states manlike, and philosophic in the conception. • Mr. O'CONNELL'S view is much narrower. His cuckoo cry is merely for repeal, and he points out no plan by which any portion of the empire, not even Ireland, is to be governed after he has accomplished the separation. The mere repeal might give to Ireland her. Parliament and her mimic. Court, as they existed before the Union ; but that Parliament was exclusively Protestant. No Catho lic had a seat in it ; and the first consequence of the repeal would be to deprive Mr. O'CONNELL of all legislative power. As M. OCONNELL'6 crude ::cherne makes no provision even for such a case, to say nothing further of the important con siderations we have so briefly adverted to—we can only pronounce it short-sighted and nonsensical— if it do not deserve, politically speaking, the name of fraudulent. He is either totally ignorant, and totally void of reflection, as to the consequences of his own scheme, or he does not mean what he says. He has in view some other oilject than the Repeal of the Union, anti is merely hutnbugging his susceptible countrymen for some purpose of his own. We are grieved to say this. No persons are more sensible than we are of the great service Mr. O'CONNELL has done the Liberal cause ; or more honour and more applaud than we do the great exertions by which he has conferred invaluable benefits on his country; but we cannot be silent when we see the Liberal cause weakened or injured by those on whom it relies for support. Mr. O'CONNELL, we are bound to suppose, would not restore the Irish Parliament as it existed before the Union ; the repeal, therefore, implies a totally new constitution for his own country, such as it never had b e f o r e . H e i s ventur i ng on a great and untried experiment, and the experience of for mer times gives no countenance to his proceedings. The Parliament of Ireland, when Ireland had an independent Parliament, with the single exception of calling out the volunteers during the American war, seems never to have conferred any benefit on Ireland at all equal to the legislative benefits con ferred by the Imperial Parliament. The unlimited freedom of trade with every part of the empire, Ca tholic Emancipation, the reduction of the Church Establishment,. the conversion of tithes into a rent charge, with a great reduction in their amount, are some of the legislative improvements which have grown out of the Union, and are unequalled in any other similar period of her history. The laws passed by the Imperial Parliament favourable to Ireland since the Union, amount to a great revo lution peaceably effected. The heated disputes which frequently take place in the Imperial Parlia ment between Mr (nor:NELL and Mr. SHAW. Sergeant JACKSON and Mr. GRATTAN, Mr. LITTON and Mr. BARRON, are a faint index to the intemperate discussions which would take place in a Parliament, constituted solely of such vehe ment partisans, meeting in College-green. The Protestants would fight hard, and either the years would roll away in fierce party contentions, the Irish Parliament would achieve_ nothing ; or the more Inumerous Catholics wou ld tram pl e t h e P rotestants under foot, a n d exc i t e-the 'hostility et — itier other parts of the empire. Mt. O'CONNELL'S project, Itherefore, however prolific of confusion and anarchy, would never tend either to promote the prosperity of Ireland, or the peace of the empire. In contending against the Repeal of the Union, I we by 110 means think that Ireland has been justly treated, or that Mr. O'CONNELL has not a good cause to appeal to his countrymen. Though the Church has been reduced, it still exists, and is an insult as well as an injury to the Catholics. The Electoral and Corporation Reforms for Ireland were incomplete and insulting. Undoubtedly, too, the mode in which such petulant and virulent tongued men as Lord STANLEY, and such heavy, prejudiced people as Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Sir ROBERT INGLIS, speak and legislate for Ireland, are quite enough to stir up the blood of the Irish, and goad then, into mischievous, revengeful projects like the Repeal. his hand, a I,d Undoubtedly, o .cN O'CONNELL N too, E with these ea n rousethree fourths advantages ire in fourths of his countrymen to do what he pleases, and to call them round his standard of repeal must be a most pleasing homage to his power. But what is personally satisfactory to him, and strictly in ac cordance with the excited feelings and prejudices of his countrymen, may not be beneficial to the empire at large ; and we expect a statesman to discard all personal consideration and consult tilt general welfare. If Mr. O'CONNELL do not that, what better is .lie than Scorpion STANLEY ? Ire land labours under one great grievance which two thirds of the empire would help Mr.O'CoNNELL to redress. A Protestant sinecure endowed Church,vvhilt die people are nearly all Catholics, is a disgrace and a nuisance. Let Mr. O'CONNELL boldly attack that Church, and be not content till it is destroyed —let him hoist the banner of religious liberty, let him proclaim fur Ireland the voluntary system and the appropriation of all the revenues of the Church to the use of the Catholic people, and lie will be supported by all that is virtuous, wise, honest, ants sincere throughout the empire.

The French Journals of Thursday present us with a deplorable picture of the disaffection which prevails among the operatives of Paris, Lyons, •Strasburg, acid most of the great manufacturing towns of Fiance. Low wages, and long hours are not the best preparatives for the calm expression of popular wrongs, and with no other have the workmen of Lyons been for many years Political agitatioa is but little understood in France. The masses are stiangers to the mode ,of exercising the elements of Constitutional op position to Governmental oppression. In this re , pect they are a century behind the working men of England, Scotland, and Ireland ! The strike among the trades began with the tailors, who, from their numbers and intelligence, constitute a very formidable body. On Wedtftsday :he carpenters and the smiths turned out, and on Thur.day the masons left off work, and assembled hundreds outside the city, where they held ineetings, in defiance of the law and the audio• reties. We have copied from Galignani of Thurs day the details which have appealed in the French Journals, to which we refer such of our readers as take an interest in the proceedings of the work ing classes of France. On the Eastern question we find nothing new in the Paris papers. A Marseilles Journal supplies some very interesting correspondence from Alexan dria, which will be found in another part of The Sun. We have received the knowing letter : " TouLoN, AUG. 30.—Yesterday evening the Tar tar.s steaintr anchored in the road of the Lazaretto. This vessel, which left Alexandria with important d,,s patches sore e days after the depArtme of the Ettot, left that port on the 18th of August, with a telegraphic despatch of M. Cochelet, our Consul, and a packet for the President of the Council of Ministers. The Tar tare has brought no ph% ate letters whatever Ad that was known is that the Bellerophon, an English ship of the line, belongiml to the :squadron under the command of Admiral Stoptord, had arrived on the coast of E4ypt, and that more ships of the same nation were expected very shortly." tiv Courtier de Lyon of S , ptember 1, says,— " rift. discoveries lately made by the police appear to be of no real important:, ; there ate only some papers nlative to olu plots, which have been taken from their dusty repositories, where they lay without any danger to the public tranquillity." The Courtier de Lyon says the citizens who have been lately arrested are treated very harshly, and kept in the molt rigorous seclusion. Such rigour seems te us to be wholly useless ; for the whole affair is but an of fence of forming an As,ociation ; at least so it appears, iccordieg to all the facts known up to this day. Too citizens who ere arrested deserve to be treated with sonic reT.ard, for they are generally esteemed.—Le Con. stitutionel. The Courrier de Lynn, the journal of the Prefeetu-e, at lern:th breaks sileuce respecting the arrests which have lately taken place in that city. The following paragr.iph on that subj• et is in its number of Septem ber 1 :-- " Within these hew days we have heard of several arri - sts. which have token Wee in the city. From the Information which we have obtained it seems they are connected with s,,veral political intrigues. Writs have been issued, and eight or ten persons have been arrested. S+.veral inculpatory documents have rallen into the hands of the police, among which arc a red cap and a number of copies of the regulations of a Secret S :ciety, coked de l'Avehir. There is no printer's name to them, and it is supposed they were printed at a private press, which has also been seized.—Le Cummerre.

VACCINATION.—The Poor-law Commissioners have issued instructions, as they are authorised, by the Act to extend the practice of vaccination. pa,sed in the last session, to the Guardi.tns of the different tioion, for the suppression of inoculation and the promotion of vaccination : " The number of deaths," they say, " registered as caused by small-pox, dur ng the two years and a halt ended Decemher 31, 1839, was 30,000, which gives about 12,000 deaths annuady in England. and Wales. It appears that the extremes of mortality at the Small Pox Hospital, in London, amongst those attacked by he disease hove been 15 per cent., and 42 per cent. In some districts the mortality from small-pox is stated obe one in six of those attacked. But if, according to other statements, the average mortality be taken at ,ine in four, or 25 per cent. of those attacked, the num •ter of persons attacked in England and Wales mu,t mount on an average to n-arty 50.000 pers-ns ; or thou 12,000 persons killed, and 36,000 persons who recover suhjected to the sufferings of disease, including in the case of the labouring classes loss of labour and ong-continu,.d d-bility, and in resp.ct to all classes often permanent disfigurement and occasionally loss of we: may hope, however, now that the subject has teen seriously taken up by the la , lolature, that Eng ;,ind wilt soon get rid of this scourge, like several con :ineotal states whence it has been entirely banished by he prohibition to practice inoculation. The instruc ti -ns of the Commissioners, as far as we emi judge, ap pear to be wisely drawn, and they are accompanied with Acplanations, which may become the basis of carrying conviction to the people as well as preventing disease. Mr. George Wild, the talented comedian of the Erie fish Opens House, takes his benefit at that Theatre al Monday next. An admirable hill of fare is provided, ind amongst other attractive pieces, that of the Area Sylph is revived for the occasion.

" Notwithstanding the lateness of the season, and.the previous long drought, the Collee properties in Man chester not having suffered much, the berries are now ripening fast, and with a good likelihood of their being gAliered speedily, u ithout much loss ; the Negroes being now obliged to work for hire, having no provisions to depend upon." " Toe weather is this parish, although not so op pressively hot, still continues dry and dusty. In St. Dorothy the drought is severely felt, and hardly a day passes but there is sonic of the cane pieces on fire. An (Auer fire broke out yesterday, July 24, about eleven o'clock, near the Spanish Town race-course, and great fear was entertained for the refety of the town." A Correspondent of St. Ann's wri!es us, " For these last four months we have been without rain—not even a single shower in May, but continualty burning sAn. Near the shore the late cants are ripe, and the lull plants have been mostly cut down to save the roots, which has shortened the crop 25 per cent." " We learn that the pirates who attaeked and captured the Vermin have been tried and sentenced to death at the Havannah, and were to be shot the day after the Comus sailed.

The Repeal of the Union which Mr. O'CoNr- NELL is promoting, is not an Irish, it is a grand imperial, constitutional question. The Union itself is not a grievance, it is only a possible cause of grievances. Like our boroughmongeiing Parlia ment, it may be essentially bad in principle, and yet work for many years to the satisfaction of the people. If it were itself a grievance, good might arise from the repeat ; but what Mr. O'CONNELL proposes is not the redress of any single grievance, it is a great constitutional change, of which the advantages ought to be manifest and certain. It does not concern Ireland only—it concerns the whole empire, and its consequences on every part —on every interest—ought to be duly appreciated and discussed by the politician who promotes it. It will make a great alteration in the British Legislature. The whole body of Irish Peers would quit our House of Peers, and such of them as ate Peers in both parts of the empire would have to make a selection as to which House, the Irish or the British, they would belong. Our Reform Act was in part framed with a view to the Members of the House of Commons who sit for Ireland ; and the House of Commons, like the House of Peers, would require to be remodelled. Has Mr. O'Cori- NELL considered this ? Church questions, as was lately admitted by the Tories, are the key-stones of our internal policy on all such questions, and on all matters connected with them, the bulk of the Irish representatives have uniformly taken the Liberal side ; to remove them would weaken the Liberal party, and give as great a predominance nearly to the Church faction in the House of Commons as it has in the House of Lords. The Dissenters and all the Liberals must look out for some other organization to de fend themselves, and prevent all those good laws being subverted, which they have by great struggles obtained. The secession of the Irish Members would give a triumph to the Church and Tory party in England, which might become, from weakening the Liberal party in the manner pro posed by Mr. O'CoNNELL, the surest way to re conquer all which it has lately lost in Ireland. His plan would divide the Liberal interest, and so give a triumph to its opponents. But he may say—selfishly for the rest of the empire, patriotically for Ireland—that he cares nothit.g for England, Scotland, and the Colo nies, he is bound only to study the interest of Ireland. We hare so poor an opinion of the faculties of men for imperial rule, that on principle we must approve of them limiting their policy and their measures exclusively to the locali ties in which they live ; and on principle, therefore, we approve of Mr. ()TON N EL L narrowing his cares to Ireland alone. Such a plan is, indeed, little suitable to that enlarged philanthropy which makes him in other cases extend his care to the Slaves and the Poles, and to the French Canadians, and to men oppressed all over the world ; but letting that pass, on the narrow principle of confining Irish legislation to Ireland, and British to Britain, and giving up the idea of imperial legislation—or one rule for all—though the tendency of nations is to the law ts hich is g o o d at York amalgamation, and can scarcely be bad at Limerick,;—Mr. VCO24- THE FUNDS.

WOOLWICH, SEPTEMBER 4.—The Alban steam-vessel, master John King. arrived here on Monday from Southampton, having transferred a det, chment of the 77th regiment to the Oriental mail steam vessel previous to her departure for the Mediterranean. On Wednesday the Alban embarked Captain Gray, Lieut. Meheux, and a detachment of the Woola iela division of the Royal Marines, and proceeded with them to Pembroke, to relieve a detachment of the Portsmouth division at present doing duty there. She also embarked at the same time Captain Leonard, Lieutenant Onalow, and a party of about 100 men of the Woolwich division of the Royal Marines, and will call at Portsmouth to transfer them to the Strom. bo' i armed steam-vessel, under orders to proceed'immediately for the Mediterranean. The Stromboli, Commander J, W. Williams, is a splendid steam vessel, constructed last year for service in the East Indian seas, and for that pur pose was armed with six guns of liege calibre, carrying balls of one hundred and five pounds weight a distance of three miles with tremendous and deadly efraet. These pieces of ordnance weigh about 65 cwt. each, and are con structed on a new principle, which renders them safe and easily managed on board of steam-vessels, where the con cussion from those formerly used was apt to derange the machinery. Before being adopted these guns underwent severe tests last year by the detachment of the Royal Ar. tillery stationed at Deal, and in vessels in the Downs. The late plot stated to have been discovered in Galicia and Cracow, seems to have been nothing but the discovery of a correspondence between some young people, who were zealous advocates of the re-establishment of Poland. The seizure of the papers of a man of letters, Dr. Kreuzberg, at Prague, has also created some sensation. Baron Wesselenyi, the Hungarian Hampden, who has been for some lime, with the permission of the authorities, at Grafenberg, for the recovery of his health, was expected to return about the middle of this month, and several of the independent nobles resolved to welcome him on the frontier, and accompany him home. On the 18th of August the first train started on the railway from Milan to Monza, which, although not the first road of the kind in Italy, is that which excites the greatest interest, from the circumstance of its being pro jected to continue the line to Venice. The Archduke Rainer, with the Archduchess, and a number of officers and high functionaries, graced the ceremony with their presence, and ventured in the first train. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK IMPROVEMENTS. —PROPOSED NEW STREET. —The report of the Metropo litan Improvements Committee having recommended that the sum of 30,0001. be given towards the improvements of the borough of Southwark, it is proposed by a plan sub. mitted by the architect, Mr. Hitchcock, for approb a ti on , to form a new st ree t f rom G ravel-lane, immediately facing Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-road, to St. George's Church, High street, Borough. The contemplated street will in tersect Prince's-street and Pepper-street, and take in the whole of Norfolk -street ; then crossing the Sauthwark bridge-road, include Mint -square and Queen-street and remove the major portion of the houses between Redcross-street and the Borough High -street. It is intended that the houses to be hi& in the line of the new street shall be firs-class bui (4- ings, and thus form a handsome and convenient com munication with Blackfriars-road. The houses which will be taken down to effect so desirable an alteration are in a ruinous state, and are of the lowest description, and the neighbourhood will be much improved and benefited by their removal. Upwards of seventy of the most influential inhabitants have signed a requ.,Hon to the High Limirff to call a public meeting to take immediate measures for carry ing the plan into execution. TURNPIKE ROADS.—Asa remarkable instance of the present o, approaching revolution in the state of turnpike roads, it may be mentioned that some certain half dozen miles of a former important highway in the ne-gh bourhood of Doncaster and wherein a few years back the Edinburgh mail travelled, is now overgrown with grass, and the tollgate has remained closed for near two and a half days to i .ether. The tolls of the Doncaster and Selby road, let for this year, on Wednesday last, for 7451. Last y ear t h ey let for 1.0.15 4.' TIIE WEATHER IN PARIS.—The temperature yesterday continued nearly the same as on Tuesday. The thermometer, at mid- ay, was at 29 of the Centigrad e scale, 84 of Fahrenheit's, but by two o'clock had got up to 30 5. lOths C.. 87 F.
