ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CITY. On Thursday evening the Town-hall at Oxford was filled to overflowing by the friends and sup porters of Mr. .Neate, - who bad assembled in con sequence of announcements to the effect that Mr. Neate and Mr. Thackeray would address the elec tors. Mr. Sheriff Spiers was voted to the chair. Mr. NEATE, on, rising, was greeted with several rounds of applause. He said — I have no fault to find with the gentlemen who unseated me. I as su gsod in inspiring you with dis traestyou there is no a gainst those appointed to be our rulers. I believe those five gentlemen did their duty with a patient spirit and a real desire for justice, and no thing else. (Cheers) As to whether the decision was right or wrong it is not for me nor you to say. It is for you to struggle to do your best to repair. the consequences of that decision. (Cheers.) With regard to my experience—and a short experience it has been—in the House of Commons, I am happy to be able to report to you, from whom the House of Commons derives its existence, that I bring back a very favourable impression of the spirit and intentions of the gentlemen who constitute that assembly. (Cheers.) As for myself, I have expe rienced from them in the few instances in which I have attempted to address them—which have been few because I felt that there was a cloud hanging over me—a cloud which has descended and swept me from the face of the pul.lic—from the short ex perience which I have had I am happy to be able to tell you, makers of the House of Commons, that it is a kind and generous assembly ; at the same time as individual gentlemen I have nothing to say against them. This - they do wantan infu sion among them of a more popular spirit. (Hear.) The experience which I have had is this—that the Ministers are wrapped up r too much in their own feelings—the ft clings of an exclusive Whig aristo cracy. They have a disposition to turn what is called the cold shoulder to that part of • the honse to which I bel:mged. (Cheers.) The experience I have had in the. House of Commons has led me to this conclusion, that the party,who most require the countenance and support ef the people is the independent popular party. (Cheers.) I don't wish to say anything disparagingly of the noble lord, for I have reason to, believe, on the lest main:sill . from those acquainted with _Lord Monck, that he is a most honourable 'man—a man whem anybody m'ght like to have for h's colleague. lam very well pleased with. hie individual ch;•racter, but I speak not of his individual but with respect to his privas e claim. We know lie Was - for a short time a Lord of the Admiralty, Which - is some hing ; afterwards he subsided into a Lord of the Treasury, which is nothing. (Laughter.) I haVeMyself had something to do with the Treasury, and I assure you, on my own author-4y,, that the lowest form of political life is being a Lord of the Tr« asury. (L.rught.r.) I don't wish you to reduce this great contest into a question of local rivalry, or conduct it with feelings of personal animosity. Though I da not wish to sea Mr. Cardwell again 'become your representative— (cries of " He won't` come ; we won't have 11'111,1 —at the same time I would recommend and impress on you, fOr Your. own credit, and -for the credit of your ancient city., to elect and appoint a representa tive worthy- of taking his position. I believe, I am sure, we haVe found such a man in my d stinguished and I might alni,eat'call him my illustrious friend, Mr. Thackeray. (Clears.) Mr. THACKERAY, who was well received, then rose and said,—To bespeak your praise, being SJ little known to.any.of you at this•mament, woull be idle ; even to say.that I posters the power cf . eloqueoce—whieh I wish to Heaven that I bat— . would he vain, fer I shad break down very likely in_ a sentence:or two, arc" you wilL have to moralise on the strait . fact that a ginitlewan who can spin off sentence after seri teece in Lis study is hard put to it. to finl.words \den he is on his legs. (Cheers.) I go with allnay heart and soul for the adoption of the ballot; and I desire with the utmost of my power the extersion of the suffrage: (Cpeers.) Ido not say for one m enent I me rn universal suffra4e, because those of you. wire have read the papers have seen how universal suffrage obtains in the neigh bouring country of France--the Emperor riding cuckhorse over the country, the press throttled truly and entirely, aed one tyrant ruli: g over the people. With respect to trieen al Parliaments, if the pe Tie are for it I am ready to follow the popular behest. I do not see for my• own part how any great good can arise from them. It dies not seem to me that if a perpe:ually recurring systeM of election .was practised it would be conducive of much g ood. Some time ago I had to ay a few words about po lit cal matters at a dinner in Edinburgh to which I was invited, and. I got a deal of illw.ll in certain very genteel quarters in. London when I returned, because I Said at that dinner that those gentlemen with handles to their names, that the members 'of great aria ocratic s had a very great share of public patronage and government, and tba:. for my part I heartily desired that men of the people—the working men and educat el men of the people— should have 4 share in the Government. I instanced the case cf the Aneerican 'Minister who was then wanting—the Government apv inted a lord; a Mini ster of China was then wanting, and the sel ec tion lay between a' duke and an earl. Great outcries were made rig inst me when I went ba c k, and peo ple said, "W try do you sneer against Duke A., Lord 8., and Earl C. ? Why do you sneer against men whom you know to be perfectly houourable and able P 1 (lid not sneer in the least against Lord Eigiu, who was appointed Ambassador to China, or Lord Napier, the recently appoiute 1 American Minister, tectose at that time few men more hon ourable; eloqu..nt, able or experienced could be found.

"Major-General Chesney and Sir J ohn M'Neill, the engineer-in-chief to the Euphrates Valley Rail way Compnny, in their reports, published after their return from Syria, estimate that the existing traffic of that portion of the route of the proposed railway is sufficient to yield a dividend of 7 or 8 per cent. on the capital required. " Whatever the news may be from India by next mail more European troops- must be stationed in that country, and the rapid extension of railroads must follow to make them available, and the con struction of the Euphrates Railway must become more and more necessary.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—ABINGDON, JULY 10. Mr. Baron Martin arrived in this town ye3terday, and having opened the commission for the county of Berks at'ended divine service. Mr. Baron Bramwell arrived this morning. _ The business of the assizes commenced this day at 10. o'clock, Mr. Baron Martin presiding in the civil court, and Mr. Baron Bramwell in the crimi nal court. The cause list contains an entry of four causes. The calendar is extremely light and contains a list of only 12 prisoners. One is charged with mur der, but, being insane, he has been removed by a Secretary of State's order to the Litt lemore Lunatic Asylum. The other offences charged are of the ordinary description. • CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Common Juries.) SWEENEY (ADMINISTRATOR) V. FAIRCLOUGH. Mr. Sergeant Thomas and Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Phipson and Mr. Scotland for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action, Cornelius Sweeney, as administrator of his decessed son, Timothy Sweeney, sued the defendant, Thomas Fairclough, a carman, carrying on his business in the east end of London, to recover damages for the death of the plaintiff's son, who was killed by the alleged negli gence of the defendant's servant. It appeared from the pla'ntiffs evidence that, on the 20th of June last, one of the defendant's men had been to the West India Dock to fetch several hogsheads of sugar. On his way to the defendant's premises ho bad to pass along a narrow street, named Queen street, by the Regent's Canal. The sugar was in a four-wheeled truck drawn by two horses,,and the driver was sitting in the front of the truck, driving the horses wi h reins. Having crossed the Queen street Bridge the truck was driven close to the kerb, on the off side, and knocked down the little boy, who was seanding against a post on the kerb. The poor boy was picked up and taken to the Lou don Hospital, but he died in a few hours. It ap peared that the boy was 15 years of age, and was in the habit occasionally of assisting the plaintiff, his father, in his business as a journeyman tailor. Mr. Phipson, for the defendant, said, he should prove that the accident was occasioned entirely by the boy's own negligence in attempting to take sugar from the truck while it was in motion. The learned counsel called several witnesses, who stated that the defendant's man took the truck from the West India Docks, along the Commercial-road, till he got to the Limehouse toll-gate, and then drove down the Horseferry-road and entered Queen street. When the truck got to the corner and turned into Queen-street, the boy went up to the truck, between the wheels, to get sugar out of it, and in that way folowed the truck for several yards, till lie got to the post. The driver found it necessary to keep close to ?he kerb, to let another waggon pass, •and at this juncture the boy was caught against the post and thrown under the wheele. The defendant's witnesses proved that the truck was going towards the Queen-street Bridge, and not coming from it, as the plaintiff's witnesses had stated. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, left it to the jury to sly whether the accident was caused entirely by the negligence of the defendant's servants. The defendant's witnesses had directly contradicted those called hy the plaintiff, and it would be for the jury to say which side they believed. Thejury, without hesitation, found for the de fendant. MIDDLESE.X SESSIONS. ASSAULT IN MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-July 10. Mr. Baron Martin said, he bad a doubt whether the plaintiff's witnesses could say anything of the wcident. CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) The grand jury came into court in the course of the day, and found a true bill against John Black well, for the wilful murder of Thomas Rance, at Wokingharn, on V' .e 14th of May, 1857. The governor of the gaol stated to the Court that the prisoner was insane, and that he had been re moved under an order of the Secretary of State, to the lunatic asylum at Littlemore. Under these circumstances, Mr. Baron Bramwell directed that the recogni zancei of the witnesses should be respited sine die. William Appleton, 37, George Holmes, 46, and Richard Case, 42, were charged with the man slaughter of Joseph Laurance, at Reading, on the 25th of June, 1857. Mr. J. 0. Griffiths appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. J. J. Williams defended the prisoners. It appeared that the prisoners were employed in mowing a part of a large meadow near Reading, and the deceas- . .d and some other men were em ployed in mowing in the same meadow. The parts of the meadow belonged to different owners, and, some dispute having arisen as to the boundary of the properties, a quarrel e nsued between the two sets of mowers. The prisoner Appleton wished to fight the deceased, but h'h refused, and while the deceased was leaving with his scythe the prisoner Holmes incited Appleton to fight, and, thereupon Appleton ran upon the deceased and struck him two blows right and left towards the back part of the head. The deceased fell and wai taken up dead. As soon as Appleton found what ho had done he knelt down by the side of the deceased , and appeared much dist ressed at the event. There was no evidence against Case, except that he was very_ abusive to the master of the deceased, who in terfered to prevent a quarrel. Mr. Williams, for the prisoners, said, he could not resist a verdict so far as Appleton was concerned, but he contended that the other two prisoners ought to be acquitted. Mr. Baron Bramwell directed the jury to acquit Case, but, if they believed the evidence, to find the other prisoners guilty. The jury found accordingly. Mr. Baron Bram well, after makin g some in quiries res ecting the prisoners, sentenced Apple ton to be imprisoned for three weeks, and Holmes for three days. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--YORK, JULY 9. The learned judges of this circuit arrived here yesterday afternoon,. and after hearing service at the Minster, immediately opened the commission at Vie Castle. This morning their lordships breakfasted, accord ing to ancient custom, with the Lord Mayor. After bre difast Mr. Baro n Watson went.to the Guildhall to try city prisoners . There was, however, nothing mthaelrietifeosrhhaivsinlcg.r&hip to do, and the rlicessary for- be en gone through his lordship left in less than ha!f an hour. Mr. Baron Channell charged the grand jury at 12 at the Caste, and Mr. Baron Watson soon after took his seat in the Civil Court. The calendar contains the names of 70 prisoners, 10 of whom are on bail. Both in number and cha racter of crime this is a very light calendar. The entry of civil causes is of a character un known in the rworection of any member of the Northern Circuit. For the North and East Ridings there is an entry of seven cause, and for the West Riding up to 5 o'clock only three causes were en tered. For the latter list, however, causes may be entered up to 12 o'clock to-morrow. On taking his seat Mr. Baton Watson inquired of the officer of the court the state of the cause list ? Mr. Bell having informed his lordship, Mr. Baron Watson (to the Bar).—This is a ter ribly bad cause list. Mr. Warren, Q.C. the land have ye come 1 " is ver bad, very ba Mr. Baron Watson—This y d. An undefended cause was then called on, and disposed of, and the cause of HESP V. COOK • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ." To see tho nakedness of was rt , 'xt called on. Mr. Temple, Q. C., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Overend, Q.C., for the defendant. This was an action for breach of promise of mar riage, brought by the plaintiff, a farmer's daughter. The learned counsel for the defendant agreed to a verdict fur 2501. damages, on the terms that no action for seduction should be brought, the plain tiff having had a child by the defendant. Verdict accordingly. His lordship then tried criminal cases, and d;s poSed of several street robberies at Leeds. THE PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE CIRCUIT. A consideraVe amount of discussion has taken place among the members of the bar on the pro posed annexation of Yorkshire to the Midland Cir cuit, which is understood to be reeonomended by the commissioners appointed to con sider the re-ar raugetnent of the circuits. So far as the membe rs of this circuit attendi n g the York a,ssig. are concerned it appe Ira to have met with a most unqualified di , ;- aPoovltl. The teasoiis stated a te these—that the .5 members of the circuit attending York assizes for the most part go round the circuit to all the North-rn counties, and to compel them to elect to go the Midlind or the Norther n Circuit is, in fact, to take the bar bodily away from the Northern counties. The counter proposition was understood to b t> add L'lncashire to the Cheshire Circuit, the Noithein Circuit be'ng found by the judges to: whether Lancashire belongs be too long and ltborirAs. With regard to th;s Liverpool assizes, and go now-herd e•IP proro,ition the general opinion seems to be that about one-half of the members of the circuit att-nd w ing o to h L av iv e Welsh Circuit or to the Northern Circuit, for ftohreecxlrectu,. cacl to these gentlemen it can make no flifference to the Cheshire and, are oahs h i q r quite t e in . the . no: the ee,eiy,thtoh. they ern count ' es indifferent the hi y nnet d y o dao n sb o roke t u: g itel o ni rL t te h ,a e vnaice.nawcsi iit. Northern Circuit; and to the other half, with few exceptions, the s es are not the men in business in Lau- proposed addition of Yorkshire to the Midland Circuit will in all probability matefally injure 100 members of the c'rouit who have business in York shire and the northern 'counties ; w hile the counter project of adding Lancashire to the Welsh and Cheshire Circuits would not in all probability in jure the business of 10 men ,on the circuit, and would in other respects be of public convenience, the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire being intimately interwoven. A third strong opinion is against all change of the circuit, and for sending down three judges instead of two to dispose of the increased business of this circuit, two judges sitting on the criminal or civil side, as required by circumstances. One thing is certain, that the proposed change gives unqualified dissa tisfaction, and appears to be made quite irrespec tive of the interests and practice and state of busi ness of the circuit. Emma Burehell, 20, Elizabeth Edwards, 20, and Elizabeth Mann, 19, were indicted for assaulting. Ebenezer Bower, Richard T. Tubbs, Henry Shep pard, and Hannah Jallings, officers of Marylebone Workhouse. Mr. Pohnd (for Mr. Bodkin) conducted the pro seoution. It appeared that on the 22d of June Mrs. Jal lings of Marylebone Workhouse, was walking round the yard, when she found the prisoners skip ping with a rope. She told them it was against the rules, and desired them very kindly to desist, but they refused. She afterwards told the superintend ent to give thOm oakum to pick, which seemed to h ive exasperated them to such a degree, that on meeing the matron in the passage, Edwards and Burchell flew at her, tore her bonnet and collar to pieces, scratched her face, and did her considerable violence. The prisoners all pleaded guilty. The Court sentenePd-Burcnell to nine• months, Elwards to s'x, and Mann to four months. CLERKENWELL.—Sarah Ihvis, a marine store dealer, residing at 55, St. John-street, Clerk elwell, was charged with having iu her possession a quantity of Icad pipe and solder, of which she could not give a satisfactory account. From tie statement of police-constable Henry Greathurst, 209 G, who has been very active in ap prehending thieves and marine-store dealers, it ap peared that yesterday he met the prisoner, who has been suspected for some time as being a regular "fence," carrying a quantity of lead pipe and solder, and upon asking her where she obtained it from and not receiving a satisfactory account he locked her up. Upon searching her residence he found a valuable silver watch, maker's name " Henry Jones, London. No. 960 ;" a gold Geneva watch, maker's name "Raffin, 30,037," a lady's gold chain, a gold signet ring, a large num btir of valuable prints, two publican's pots, a very large quantity of boots and shoes in an unfinished state, and numerou§t other valuable articles. The prisoner, who said nothing in her defence, was remanded uutil Thursday next, when other charges will be gone into against her. WORSHIP-STREET.—Jatnes Lawrence, land lord of the "Duke of York" public-house Grove street, Spitalfitdds, was charged with ,unlawfully serving spirituous and fermented liquors before one o'clock on Sunday afternoon by means of an inter nal communication between his awn house and the ad.joining premsep. Inspector Griffin went to the house about 12 o'clock, and heard such a murmur of voices that he asked "if there was a chapel in the neighbour hood ?" He then prcceeded to the lumber room, where he discovered a door concealed behind a board. On knocking at the door he heard a voice say, "That's not the governor's signal," and another, "No, you fool, we have not drunk all the beer yet." On forcing the door, he found about 100 people drinking, who, on his appearance, made their escape by an outlet leading to a private house next the tavern. The defendant's solicitor urged a legal objection, viz., that the communication was external and apart from the dwelling house. The magistrate dismissed the summons, trustin g that proper measures would be instituted by the Excise officers for the suppression of such practices. Henry Seymour, charged nearly a month past with attempting to steal from the person of a lady in a carriage on the Eastern Counti s Railway, and being in the possession of a valuable jewelled ring, which he endeavoured to conceal when t'iken into custody, was a third time brought before Mr. Hammill. It will bs recollected that the lady, who, from ill-health and pressing engagements, was unable to attend at this court, bad taken the precaution to secure her purse to a steel chain passed round her waist, which consequen'ly prevented the thief from retaining pessession of it. The magistrate re manded the prisoner on the other charge, and Mr. Wontner, who defended him, now asked for his discharge. Mr. Hammill—l want some explanation about this ring. Mr. Wontner—He claims it as his own, sir. Prisoner—My grandfather, who was a diamond setter at Plymouth, made it for my father in 1840, and he gave it to me. lam a native of Brighton. Mr. Hatninill—Where does your father live, and what is he ? Prisoner—He is a draper in Church-street, Glas gow. Mr. Hammill—Very well. The police can in stitute inquiry. I shall endeavour by every means to ascertain the owner of the ring, and the truth of the prisoner's statements. Mr. Woutner—The police detectives and others have seen him, sir, and he is unknown—be has been remanded three times. Prisoner (passionately) —Why not give me what I'm to have at once—do something with me, and not remand me again. Mr. Hammill—That will do ; remove him. The accused was again locked up, but subse quently made a desperate effort to escape, striking Police-sergeant Brown, 15 G, blacking his eyes, and severely lacerating his band with his teeth. MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. The annuli general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket on Wednesday last, July 8. Present—L , ,rd Zetland and Lord W. Powlett, stewards ; the Duke of BeAufor Mr. S. R. Bi.t son, Lord Clifden, Mr. Gleville, Mr. Lowthe r , Mr. Nevill, Mr. Payne, and Admiral Rous. The stewards acquainted the meeticg thaA they had received a letter from the Earl of Derby, in the object of which they fully concurred, but as a general meeting of the club was so soon to take place they had thought it better to submit the matter to the meeting before taking any further steps. The letter was then read _ "St. James-square, Jane 30. "My Lords,—lt has become a subject of general obser vation and regret that the number of men of station and fortune who support the turf is gradually diminishing, and that an increasing proportion of horses in training is in the hands of persons in an inferior position, who kep them, not for the purposes of sport, but as mere instru ments of gambling. lam aware that it is not in your lordships' power to apply a remedy to this acknowledged evil, but I conceive that there are occasions in which it is within your power, and, if so, I venture to think that it is your duty, as stewards of the Jockey Club, to exercise a wholesome influence upon the character and respectabi lity of the turf. You cannot debar any man, whatever his position in society, from keeping racehorses; nor do I recommend a vexatious end inquisitori 1 scrutiny into the character and conduct of those who do so. But when among their number are found those against whom flagrant cases of disgraceful fraud and dishonesty have been legally established it appears to me clearly within your province to stamp them with your reprob etion, an I to exclude them from association on an equal footing with the more honour able supporters of the turf. Such a case for your interven tion has, I think, arisen out atilt) late trial of ` Sidebot tom v. Adkins,' in which a sum of above 6,000/. has been recovered from the defendant on the avowed ground that it had been won by cheating with loaded dice. I cannot but think that this is a case which concerns the honour of the Jockey Club not to pass over in silence, and it would affor I me great satisfaction to learn that you had taken it up in your official capacity ; but, in the event of your de clining to do so, I have to request that you will lay this letter before the Jockey Club at their next meeting ; and, as I am . doubtful whether I maybe able to attend the July meeting, and certain that I cannot do so on Wednesday, I will thank you to give notice, on my behalf, of the follow ing resolution : " That the Jockey Club, having taken into their consi deration the facts proved in evi.lonc© in the late case of " Sidebottom v. Adkins," direct that Mr. Adkins be warned off the Heath at Newmarket; and that no horses of which he may be in whole or in part owner, be allowed to run on any grJund over which the Jockey Club exorcise jurisdic tion." I have the honour to be, my Lords, your obedient servant, " DERBY. " To the Stewards of the Jockey Club." It :was unanimously agreed : " Teat the resolution contained in Lord Derby's letter be adopted, and Mathis lordship's letter be published with the minutes of this meeting." " Resolved,--That notice be given to Ignatius Franc's Coyle not to come upon the racecourse or exercise ground at Newmarket." The accounts of the last year, approved by the stewards, were presented and pa,secl. • His Grace the Duke of Beaufort was appointed a steward of the Jockey Club, in the place of the T'arl of Zetland, who retires by rotation. eived,----That rules Nos. 42, 43, 44, and 45, on the • ^k Newmarket, be rescind ed."

Egerton, whose death was re corded in the obituary of The Sun, yesterday as lvtving occurred on the Bth inst., was one of the oldest. Generals in the army. lie entered the army .in November, 1791, . and saw much active service from th-tt period up to the peace in 1815. Sir Chas. then a lieutenant, commanded a detachment of his regiment'. on" I:j. , ard a liue-of-battle- r ship in Lord Howe's memorable action on the Ist of June, 1794, and afterwards served at the blolkatle of 'Malta, and the surrender of Valetta on the sth of Septewb:r, 1800, at that time major of his regi ment, Thence he proceeded with his regiment in General Sir Ralph Abercromby's expedition to Egypt, and was present at the action of the 18th and 21st of March, 1801. The gallant Gener4l afterwards joined the army in the Peninsula, and distinguished himself in Spain and Portugal under the Duke of Welling: on in 1810 and 1811. He was rewarded fOr his services in the Peninsula wi , h the silver "war medal and three claffs for Fuentes d'Onor, Nivelle and Orthes. In 1832 he was no minated a Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Order of ithe . Guelphs, and in 1837 made a Knight Grand Cross (7f St. Michael and St. George, and in September of the same year aprnluted Colonel of the 89th Regiment, which iithus left at. the disposal of the General Com mand ng-in-Chisl. His Galnmissions bore date as follows :—Ensign, November 16, 1.791 ; Lieute nant, March 21, 1793 ; Captain, April 22, 1795 ; Major, J nue 1, 1798 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Novem ber 14, 1802 ; C lone], June 4, 1810 ; Major- General. June 4,1814 ; Lieutenant-General, July 22, 1830 ; and General, November 9, 1846. Sir Onarles was fourth son of Mr. Philip Egerton by his .marriage with the daughter of the late Sir Francis H. E. Styles, and was born at Oulton- I ark, the ancient rest of tha Egertons in Cheshire, id 1774. Ho married in 1809 the only daughter of the late Sir Ttioinas Troubridge, by whom, who died in 1849, he leivet issue. " The gallant general was uncle to Sir Philip De Malpas Grey Eger ton M.P. THE EUPHRATES VALLEY RAILWAY. The following i 3 from the Chairman of the Eu phrates Valley Railwrq Company : "Sir,—When adverting to the Euphrates route to ludit in your impression of the llth ot Feb ruary last you made the following forcible re nifirks " The rapidity with which this (the connexion etween England and India) can be carried out, - Le smallness of the outlay required, and the fact of the route beipg - 1,000 miles shorter than that t.y ti e Beal Sea, are unansweral le rec-immenda tions ; and it is imp{ ssible to refer to the surveys and reports of General Chesney and his coil agues 'on the Euphrates, pub'ished 20 years ago, without astonishment that even at that period the British Government and people failed to tatce immediate steps to avail themselves of its capabilities.' ecent events in India have given the above observations tenfold force, and have mach the Eu phrases Valley Railway, being politically and ilysically the shortest practicable route to India, a paramount and pres4ng state necessity. '• The Red Sea route presents no facilities, for on the present emergency we prefer sending troops by Ealing vessels round the Cape rather than en counter the delays and difficultie3 of the Red Sea. " Were the Euphrates Valley Railway com pleted, the despatch of 20 regiments from England would prove au easy matter. With the circuitous route - r , ' , und the Cape accommodation for four or five regiments will be attended with difficulty, and these, moreover, in tead of reaching their destina tion in three or four weeks, will probably not ar rive in Calcutta for the next four or five months. " Forthe Euphrate s route the support of Govern m-nt is .ought - , on the - ground that it would in ffect. connect the two great limbs of the empire, England' acid India, by reducing the distance by upwards of 1000 miles, and the time to about 14 days, or about half the period now uccupied. "By the co , s'ruction of a riilway along the Euphrates British commerce will he largely in crea eel, Turkey will be 'strengthened, and Persia wit`;tlrawu ft oat her clangorous isolation.

(From the Times.) According to the opinion of those astute persons who have a gift for seeing further in'o a millstone that their neighbours, the check which the Empe ror has apparently suffered at Paris was a check of his own seeking. As in chess-playing, a pawn has been sacrificed to secure a better opening and a clearer board. Now, in the game of politics we believe to a certain extent in the power of finesse, but in this instance the present loss, however the ilioniteur may endeavour to disguise it, is so capital —the future and hypothetical gain so remote, that we cannot without great difficulty admit this expla nation as the true one. The idea is that the Bour- geoisie'of Paris had waxed inso'ent with prosperity, and that they had already forgotten the severe schooling of Februaty and June, 1848. It had be c )me necessary to remind them that the volcano was still bubbling and seething beneath their feet, and might once more at any moment overflow and scatter ruin all around. Louis Napoleon—so it is asserted —tried and hardened as he has been in the rough school of early privation—of exile—of captivity—is not a man to throw away a crown without a strug gle, nor to drift down upon the cold shores of ca lamity without exhausting every effort to bold what he has gained. Royalty in his person will not flicker out over a game of whist at St. Cloud, nor slink away from the Tuileries in the presence of a shouting mob. What he has won that will he re- tun. Proud of the position he has earned, of the dynasty he reprezent, of the energy he has dis played, he will not trifle with France, nor shall France trifle with one who bears hii name. Before having recourse, however, to extreme measures, he deemed it right to give a solemn warning to those who are coquetting with th it own de,truction al well as with his ruin. The c'tizens of l'ers must be reminded that the spirit of anarchyhas been scotched, not killed, and that the sunshine of popular fa vi ur can in brief space recall it upon the scene in all the awful fulness of its portentous shape. There fore it we s that Louis Napoleon allowed the electoral urns of Paris for once to overflow with the waters of bitterness. The Parisians may be averse to his person, they may dislike h's rule, hut what will the alternative he when Medea's caldron is placed once more upon the, smouldering ashes, and the old forms of society are cast in, with the expecta tion—so often disappointed—that out of the per tur hation and hubbub France will come forth again vigorous and refreshed in all the graceful majesty of second youth ? Therefore, his friends say, it is that the stein showman has for a brief space invited attention to the drama which has been played out in Paris and in France during the last ten years. But ten years back—in the last days of Louis Philippe—the dis play of magnificence, of wealth, of luxury which might have been seen in Paris could not have been equall3d in any other city in the world. The long avenues of shops were resplendent with all the ele gant and costly devices upon which the Parisian artisan could expend his ingenuity. The brilliancy of the equipages and the general luxury of dress, of houses, of fureitu e, was beyond all preCedent. Visitor s from all corners of Europe flocked to Paris, and, nometter from whatsource their revenues were derived, at Paris they were spent. If in the Paris of 1847 there was to be found the extreme of po verty as well as the extreme of wealth, the one was but the natural consequence of the other. A. pistol-shot fired one evening in February, 1848, on the Boulevard, from opposite the Rue des Ca pucines, dispelled that dream. All that wealth, all that magnificence, all that luxury faded away, and in a brief space, in the place of these were seen on every side, terror, benkrUptcy, and ruin. The puls ttion of civil life was stopped ; the heart of France, for the time, had ceased to beat ; but soon came the hot summer-tide of June, when from their garrets and cellars in damp and distant quar ters of the city came forth combatants of whose existence society in its ordinary condition is not aware, to do battle against the first elements of tradition. The houses on the Boulevards and in the principal quarters were riddled with bullets— at various points the cannon had involved the city in more complete destruction—the chief spots where the deadliest grapples had taken place were red with blood and reeking like shambles. Through out tt:e short nights of that burning season the troops bivouacked on the Boulevards and in the public places—their camp-fires alight, their guns with light_ci matches in the midst of them. Paris had been conquered from enemie, , , but the enemies wee Rarisians, and the conqueror was General Caveigeac, the candidate who has just dereeted M. Thibaut, and thus won a more peaceful victory, but th s time not from the people, but from the Court. Louis Napoleon, we are told, has thought it right that the Parisians should be reminded of these things as well as of that unquiet time which intervened between the barricades of June and his own seizure of supreme power. Few Parisians w'r,o lived through that period, and whose fortunes were involved in the maintenance of order, will forget the daily fears and nightly alarms which agi tated Paris while the contest was pending between the candidates for the Presidency, and then between the President and the Chamber. So violent was the exasperati:m of extreme terror that the Presi dent could ventnre in the dead hour of the night to seize the principals tat e , men and generals of France, and spirit them away like children who had mis behaved themselves, and to confine them in various places of seAtision unt 1 time had brJught reflec tion, and reflection repentance. Again French troops fin d upon the French people with an animosity as fierce as any they could have disp'ayed in the presence of their country's deadliest foes. So things went on for awhile, until at last it was found that, however unjustifiable were the means by by which the strong man had possessed himself of power, he knew how to use it when gained. It is now said—although we believe it not—that Louis Napoleon has courted, or at least connived at his own recent defeat, in order to remind the Pari sians of what they must look for if they cast a shadow of doubt upon the stability of his power. The friends of rash experiment and disorder count for so many in Paris ;—shall that experiment be tried ?—shall that disorder be courted 'I The parti sans for change show no contemptible minority of the middling classes of Paris,—shallthe Bourgeoisie ever the first to provoke the contest, ever the first to fly from the contest they have provoked, be suf fered to plunge France once more into anarchy that their discontent may find expression ? Such is the thought attributed totheFrenchEmperor ; but in that interpretation of the recent electoral votes at Paris we do not agree. We believe that the Emperor is now engaged in a contest precisely similar to the one which his uncle waged through out his tenure of power with the Republican and Dynastic sections of the French Bourgeoisie. As long as lie can retain his hold upon the feelings of the general population and can secure the obedi ence of the army, a check like the present is but a momentary vexation, which will be soon forgotten by the nation, or cancelled by himself. Let Louis Napoleon, however, meet with any serious reverse, either in his domestic policy or his military enter ' prises, and be will feel the want of a more healthy support than his Legislature affords him. One of I the most pitiable chapters in the history of the fGreat Emperor is the one which recites his dealings after Waterloo with that Assembly which, in the fulness of his power, had never approached his throne but with bated breath and base adulation. DESTRUCTION Of RAILWAY GATES BY A LUGGAGE TRAIN.—On Tuesday night a luggage train, on the War. rington and Stockport Railway, coming from Mithches ter, smashed the road gates on the lire crossing the Knutsford-road, in Latchford. The gates had been left so as to leave the road open, and the person whose duty it was to take care of the gate., we undereta d, had gone to sleep without giving the signal that the gates - on the line were shut. No accident beyond breaking the gates occurred.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—The indefatigable researches of Dr. : Livingstone have suddenly made us acquainted with one of the happiest people in the world, of whose very existence little was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally. In their ailments they never have recourse to cad liver oil, and they are equally independent of physic and the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Arabica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, " consumption, scrofula, cancer, &c., having been scarcely heard of, and the smallpox and measles have not been known for 20 years." In England also the Revalenta Arabica has pro duced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, removing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion, (dyspepsia) constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, and restoring the faculty of digestion, and nervous muscular energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by testi monials from the celebrated Professor of Chemistry Dr. Andrew - Ure ; Dr. Sborland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. 'Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ;. Lord Stuart d• Deeles ; the Dowager. Countess of Castlestuart, aad 50,000 other well known individuals, whose health has been restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried in vain for many years, and all hopes of , recovery abandoned. Its effect on the progress of population is most favourable as exhibited by the Registrar-General, sho vv- • ing for London an average of 1780 weekly, births against a mortality of 1200, leavinga, happy gain of 580, or nearso per cent. in favour of progress ; a result most cheering to all classes, as it opens a fair prospect that by the more general Use of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, Food the Europeans will soon enjoy the same freed.m from disease as the West Africans.
