Lord Forester, The Right Hon. Lord Sutteley, Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., &c. &c. A Company is in the course of formatioi. for constructing the above Railway, which is intended to afford to the districts along the valley of the Severn the benefits of railway communication. The proposed line on leaving Shrewsbury will proceed down the valley of the Severn, accommodating in its course the towns and districts of Coalbrook-dale, Ironbridge, Madeley, Broseley, Much Wenlock, Bridgenorth, Bewdley, Kidderminster, and Stourport, near which latter place it will fall into the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton Railway, thus giving a direct communication between those places and Worcester. It will also form the shortest route between Worcester and the whole of the south-west of England and Wales, on the one hand, and Chester, Holyhead, and the north of Ireland and Wales, on the other. The landowners have been communicated with, and are generally favourable, and their wishes will be consulted, as far as possible, as to the course of the line. qA preliminary survey of the line has been made, and a detailed Prospectus will be shortly issued.

Every probabi lity certainly seems in favour of the latter alternative. The most obvious way of obtaining justice for the defrauded sufferers is manifestly by show ing how deeply the public mind throughout the civi lised world is impressed with the abominable and iniqui tous conduct of Spain in her dealings with her creditors, and that a determination exists not to lend her the slightest aid in her embarrassments, not to advance one single shilling in her most pressing exigencies, until she has removed the blot from her escutcheon* the stain from ber character. Any person who would violate that general feeling, and, by lending further sums, enable the Minister to brave and set at defiance the feelings of general indignation, and to protract the final settlement with the national creditors, would become the abettor and participator in the infamous financial policy that has hitherto been pursued. However anxious for considerable gains and large profits they may be, we cannot bring ourselves to believe, until convinced by clear and satisfactory evi dence, that any English banker would act such a part. The recent observations of the Noble Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the House of Commons, and his emphatic cautions to insolvent, or rather to delinquent States, who are able, but unwilling, to pay their honest debts, as to the possibility of a time ar riving when England will no longer patiently see her children defrauded of their just rights, but may have recourse to that dernier ressort of injur e d nations, the ultimate argument by which they are enabled to en force that redress of their grievances which they are unable to obtain by other and less sanguinary means, appears to have excited a burst of virtuous indigna tion in Spain. Do they suppose that they are still to be flattered and addressed with soft and honeyed words ; that we are to feign that confidence in their honour and honesty, which it would be im possible to feel ; that we are to see day by day, month by month, and year by year still passing away with nothing done, and to restrain the expression of our indignant disgust at their open and unblushing viola tion of every moral obligation ; that we are to wit ness such ridiculous and delusive propositions sub mitted as that the absurdity of which we so recently demonstrated, and still .to aver our confidence in Spanish honour and Spanish integrity? No ; English men are no hypocrites, and nothing but the grossest hypocrisy could lead to such a course. Far better is it for all parties to speak - out openly and plainly. The Spanish pride may be hurt, but if they feel acutely the severity of the reproach, there is a plain and simple way by which it can be averted, and their reputation re-established. They may protest that they were about to adopt steps to satisfy all parties before they were assailed by re proaches, but that would be too gross and transparent a humbug to deceive even the most credulous. If they possessed the means and inclination to pay they would not be withheld from doing so by any re proaches which their consciences must acknowledge to be but too well founded. But, in fact, it is a pre text such as would be adopted by a swindler, who, when active steps were taken to make him disgorge the plunder he had obtained, would talk of the fine ness of his feelings, and of his firm intention to pay • everything to the last farthing until he was insulted by the doubts cast upon his integrity, &c. &c. The time for temporising has now passed. Spain must be made to feel the real degradation of her position, and until she has taken means to purify herself from disgrace, her Ministers and re presentatives should be dealt with in such a way as to testify in the most unequivocal manner the feelings entertained by other Governments and nations with respect to her fraudulent and dishonest conduct. A letter from Constantinople of the 30th ult., in the Augsburgh Gazette, says— " We have received the following news from the Cau casus. On April 27 there were skirmishes near Niami, and the 31st near Jukrisk. The Russians remained masters of the field, but great losses were sustained on both sides. On May 16 the mountaineers made an at tack upon Kerikaleh, a Russian fortress on the Kuban, and g.ained possession of it, and destroyed it, notwith standing the arrival of the Russian army. The garrison defended itself bravely, and a young Russian officer blew up a powder magazine, destroying 400 men, most of them Circassians.

A letter from Limburgh, of the 14th, states that the judgments of the tribunals upon the principal actors in tha late insurrections in Gallicia have not only been pronounced, but confirmed by the superior tri bunals, and ordered to be carried into execution.

A Leipsic journal announces that there will be shortly held at Dresden a congress for arranging a general reform in the postages of Germany. It is confidently expected that the first measure will be to suppress the transit charge, and afterwards to establish one general rate for the whole of the German States, for letters and journals. The congress will after wards propose one uniform measurement of distances, and also uniform weights and measures in general for all Germany. of the 17th have b een rece i ve d .

The subscribers to it amounted to 2 ,400, and there were more than 4,000 spectators. In th e midst of the banquet a tremendous storm arose, which completely destroyed the marquee in which it was held; but the greater part of the guests and specta tors remained on the ground. The Mayor of Macon proposed M. DE LAMAKTINE'S health in a complimen tary speech. That gentleman replied in a discourse of great length and eloquence, in which he insisted on the sovereignty of reason, the imperishable rights of liberty, the alliance more and more necessary of the Government and the people, and on several other topics of importance. Everything passed o ff q uietl y . The Union Monarchique has the followi n g on the rumoured modifications in the Cabinet : " The extraordinary convocation of the Council of Ministers, which took place two days ago, and gave rise among the public and in the press to many comments bordering more or less on truth, had positively for its object the reading of a letter addressed to Louis Philippe by the Duke of Dalmatia. In that letter, which he had written after a long and painful attack of neuralgia, the Marshal excuses himself on his bad state of health for not being able to bear any longer the burden of public affairs, and manifested his irrevocable intention of re signing the Presidency of the Council. After receiving that communication the members of the Cabinet re ceived from the Chief of the State an invitation to consider the choice of a person whom it might be ex pedient, under existing circumstances, to invest with the important functions to be left vacant by the retreat of Marshal Soult.

Now that the Royal Proclamation has positively , announced the dissolution of Parliament, it is incum bent upon the independent electors to endeavour by every reasonable means in their power to forward the cause of liberality. Exultation at the successes achieved during the bygone sessions must not be so far in dulged in as to produce sluggishness in the possessors of the franchise. A trite saying is especially appli cable at this juncture in the political affairs of England—" Much has been done, but more remains to do." So many important questions are now de manding the popular consideration, that the journalist is naturally solicitous that not one amongst them should be overlooked. At the same time the subjects requiring the scrutiny of the electors before any single candidate can be conscientiously selected are somewhat bewildering in their multiplicity. Before any constituency can conscientiously select a repre sentative we are satisfied that it is absolutely essential for the national prosperity that the catechism of the hustings should be rigid and precise. The Member who should be elected to the Legislatiye Chamber at Westminster should be qualified only by a satisfactory explanation of his principles ; and that explanation should alone be regarded as satisfactory which testifies that be is resolved to advance and facilitate the perfect emanci pation of commerce—that he is an earnest advocate for sanitary improvement—that he is resolved upom enforcing the necessity for a revision of the currency —that he is, in the sincerity of his heart, solicitous to re-organize the criminal code, and render more lenient the exercise of judicial authority—that he is anxious to place Ireland upon a literal equality in every social and political advantage with England— that differences of creed are to him no adequate reit, son for the sufferance of disabilities—that the dimi nution and assuagement of pauperism throughout the British empire is to him a paramount benefit to be acquired, and that it is only to be acquired by con sulting in an equable manner the rights of property and the charities of the entire community—that he is ready to aid in a comprehensive modification and ul timately in a total re-adjustment of our present system of taxation—that he is determined, moreover, to exert his personal influence upon the settlement of these important questions by an assiduous attendance in the House of Commons. The most honourable prestige of a candidate should assuredly be the re membrance of a career of legislative libe rality; but, as a considerable influx of men hitherto unknown on the arena of St. Ste phen's is anticipated, their characters in the dif ferent localities they will aspire to represent in the national councils will be an ample guarantee for their competence to forward the interests of their fellow citizens in the Lower House of Parliament. After so many and such sweeping innovations as have rendered the late Parliament remarkable beyond most of its predecessors, it is but reasonable to anti cipate that there will be something Tike a react ion among the more timid portions of the community. Against this tendency to reaction the whole enthu siasm of the free-trading constituents must be brought to bear; for, as Mr. COBDEN observed in his electioneer ing address from Venice, as Sir ROBERT PEEL partially intimated in his pamphlet to the electors of Tam worth, and as Mr. MACGREGOR has distinctly assured the Liberals of Glasgow—the battle against the protective system is only. half-fought. And surely Mr. COBDEN, as the Free Trade Champion, and Sir ROBERT PEEL as the Free Trade Prime Minister, and Mr. MACGREGOR as the Free Trade Secretary to the Board of Trade, are competent authority I - Not that we` would imply for a single instant the supposition that there is any possibility of a retrograde step by the Legislature. There is no longer a possibility of any successful movement anta gonistic to the emancipation of commerce. Such obstinate sticklers for Conservatism as Mr. ARCM.. BALD Amsort may prate in historic chapters upon the madness of our late commercial reforms, but their indignation can be of no avail whatever for the furtherance of their very obsolete aspirations. We are only solicitous lest the advantages which have already accrued from Sir ROBERT PEEL'S liberative measures may not be nullified by an insane pro crastination. Therefore it is that a great duty de volves upon the advocates of unrestricted importations and exportations—a duty render ing it incumbent upon them to secure an overwhelming majority of free-trade representatives in the ensuing Parliament. Our system of currency is so intimately and, indeed, inextricably blended with our financial prosperity arising from the abolition of protective duties, that we adjure the electors of the United Kingdom to follow up their ardour for the attainment of free trade in grain to the realisation, moreover, of free trade in gold. One is as essential for the due development of our commercial resources as the other is for the security of our financial strength. Unless this be secured to the nation there will be a more disastrous metallic scarcity in the City than there has been a scarcity of pro visions in Ireland. The importance of these sub jects cannot by possibility be exaggerated, and what ever constituency in the British islands shall treat them with indifference, by not eliciting the opinions of the various candidates upon each, will have acted with enormous culpability. A better illustration of the debased state of Spanish credit could not have been afforded than the scene which took place at Madrid on the occasion of the Minister of Finance putting up to public competition the 1,000,0001. sterling loan in Treasury bills, the last new scheme by which that high and honourable na tion desired to extract further sums from the pockets of Englishmen, in addition to the 46,000,0001. ster ling which it long since obtained, and which it retains with the most unblushing effrontery, without the slightest real exertion or bond fide effort to discharge the obligations and liabilities thereby occasioned. Every formality was strictly observed. The Minister of Finance, Senor SALAMANCA, took the chair in so lemn state, supported by the Assessor and Director- General, and other functionaries. The royal decree, authorising the loan, and the conditions of the loan, were duly read, and it appears that, with a due ap preciation of the unwillingness of capitalists to have namest heirna takraleplace, and a lively associated with such a transa c ti on, a natural fear that no offerely se or nee ofbidding might the ridicule to which in such a case he would be subjected, the Minister had provided himself, adopted auctioneers, tedintheeve w nt ith an of no aoftffeerr which e ie m b an w n a e e r t o o f t be he more favourable proposition being offered at the public meeting. An ominous and unbroken silence was, however, maintained by all who had been in duced by curiosity to attend. Neither Spaniard nor foreigner could be found to sustain the gross and abominable system of dishonesty that has been pur sued by Spain towards her creditors, by contracting for, or in any manner interfering with, new loans until the old are placed upon some more satisfactory footing than that in which they have been suffered to remain for so many years, to the grievous loss of the un happy bondholders. In vain were the invitations re peated, and every person anxious to participate in the advantages so temptingly held out, called upon to come forward. No response was made, no voice uplifted —no chivalrous banker rushed to the rescue of the discomfited Minister. After a painful and humiliating interval, it was announced that the loan was adjudicated to the Union Bank of Madrid, on behalf of a Mr. SMivu, an Englishman, being the acceptance of the pro position with which Senor SALAMANCA came armed to the meeting.

The writ, it is expected, will be received by the Sheriff this day (Saturday). and the election will, most probably, take place on Wednesday or Thursday. —Bristol Mercury. ELECTION FOR THE BOROUGH OF MANCHESTER. -We believe that, it the sheriff's precept should arrive here in time this morning to admit of the proclamation being made to-day, viz., before four o'clock this afternoon (be yond which hour it cannot be made), it is the intention of Elkanah Armitage, Esq., the mayor, as returning officer, to appoint Thursday next, the 29th inst., for the nomination of candidates.—Manchester Guardian. REPRESENTATION OF NORTH LANCASHIRE.—Nothing has yet been deeded with regard to the northern division of the county. The London papers state that Mr. Charles Townley is to be the Liberal candidate ; but this, we believe, is a premature announcement. We have heard Mr. Townley named, however, as one who may possibly be requested to stand. Mr. Alexander Henry and Mr. Alexander Kay, both of this town, and Mr. Standish, have also been named as likely to be brought forward for North Lancashire.—Manchester Examiner. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 23.—The de mand continues good, and the market has been cleared of all desirable qualities at very full prices. The refined market has been very brisk.—Bristol Mercury. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LONG-ACRE (THIS DAY). -About half-past three this morning a fire broke out in the lower part of the Boar's Head public-house, Long Acre, which, from the firm hold to which it had obtained before discovery by a police-constable of the F division, extended its ravages through every floor from the back parlour to the roof. The Chandos-street, Combe's Brewery, Farringdon-street, high Holborn, County, and other engines were in quick attendance, and the exertions of the &open, as usual, merited every praise, but the firemen were unable to save any portion of the stock or furniture, The adjoining houses are also damaged, but not to any very great extent. Inspectors Black and Dodd, of the F division, rendered the most effective service to the firemen, by keeping the Covent gat den " perambulating thieving gang" at a proper dis. tance. Mr. Drinkwater, the landlord of the Boar's Head, is insured in the Union Fire Office. No account of the origin of the fire could be obtained. INSTITUTION FOR THE ADULT DEAF AND DUMB, RED LION -SQUARE.-This morning her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester forwarded a munificent dona tion to the Institution for the Adult Deaf and Dumb, in Red Lion-square, and signified her intention of becoming patroness of the institution. This charity, during the past few months, has rapidly rose in public estimation and support, several other members of the Royal Family having entered their names amongst the list of patrons. SIGNS or PROGRESSION.-The carpenters and joiners of London have memorialised their employers, in a very friendly spirit, to be allowed the privilege of leaving off work at four on Saturdays, in the place of half-past five, the present system. More than twenty of the most Influential builders have generously granted their request; among whom may be mentioned the names of Thomas Cubitt, William Cubitt, Baker, Kelk, and Jackson. It is anticipated that this manifestation of a better understanding between master and man will be come general. A very valuable addition has been made to the zoological collection of the country by the importation per Duilus, Maxton, Havannab, just arrived in the St. Katharine Docks, of the various specimens undermen tioned. They all appeared on landin g i n a very healthy condition, and, being for sale, will no doubt ultimately take their places in one or other o f th e Z oological Gar dens here or Edinburgh, to which latter they have been offered: -One eagle, one macaw, one iguana, o ne moun tain rat, two marmots, one coati mindi, one African monkey, three quails, four pigeons, one dove, three pheasants Curacao, one weeping crane, one crocodile, three tortoises of a large description, partridges, &c.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO DESTROY LIFE BY GUNPOWDER.-The Government Police Gazitte contains the offer of 150 guineas reward for the apprehension of the parties who, early on the morning of the 14th, placed a pound weight of blasting gunpowder on the sill of the hodroom window of the house ocetE,ied by Mr. Joseph Robinson, farmer, of Greewell mill House, in the parish of Ryton, in Durham, folded tightly in brown paper so, as to form a cartridge, with a piece of linen communi cating with the powder, which had been set on fire. Pro videntially, however, the fire became self-extinguished before it reached the powder.. 1434 6% 12% 5% _4% ELECTION MOVEMENT• MARYLEBONE. RETIREMENT OF MR. D. W.

When 1 .

He (Sir B. Hall) had no hesit at i on in de claring the conduct of Mr. Harvey as disgraceful. He day after day, promised to meet him (Sir Hall) and arrange as to their a dd resses , that they might appear in the papers simulta• neously, and when he delayed until yesterday, an d an d that he (Sir B.
