EXHIBITION OF PICTURES. (SATURDAY.) SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS. Copley Fielding is decidedly the master spirit in thi 3 forty-third Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours. His pencil has scattered exquisite lights, and shades, and hues, and distances, and atmos pheric effects over the walls of the Gallery in Pall mall East. His genius blooming through the pigments of his palette, Las literally sown beauties upon the canvass. Although there are upwardS of forty distinct compositions from the easel of Copley Fielding in this year's collection, we have no hesitation in awarding to him a superiority which he has never before possessed. We are gratified and surprised at so mach indisputable excellence, accompanied by such extraordinary industry and apparent precipitation. No. 31. " The Isle of Staffa," by this gifted a rtist, is of a prevailing neutral tint, giving the impression of a dull, gross day, with the Hebridian waves s urging 111) towards the Cam-shell Cave; the sullen foam upon their ridges blearing the view of lona on the horizon. No. 80. " Italian Landscape, with Sea Port," by the same, is a delicious contrast; it is glittering with a more sprightly animation, and, although the feathery cloudlets overhead are less like the ghosts of the Sims, which we could wish them, it is clear, from many of the other paintings of Mr. Fielding, that he has been taking a hint from the Oxford Graduate. So much is this perceptible that we shall be disposed to anticipate, in 1848, a series illustrative of Shelley's poem, beginning— " I bring fresh show'rs for the thirsting flow'rs, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade to the leaves when laid In their noon-day dreams, &c." The suggestion, by the way, is not to be slighted. It is im possible to give any adequate impression of the merits of the entire collection on a first day's hurried survey, nor would it be scarcely fair to dismiss any piece (except the most execrable) with a hurried ejaculation of contempt. For the present, therefore, we shall content ourselves with culling a few sentences from the note book of our memory, mentally pencilled there as we traversed the apartment. No. 56. " Drumadown," by W. A. Nesfield, is a very hazardous, and (because of its boldness) a very praiseworthy venture. Turner in a delirium could not by possibility have produced a more phosphoric blaze of yellow ochre and vermillion. But we cannot induce ourselves, nevertheless, to stigmatise the picture as an exaggeration. We have ourselves seen a land scape flooded with the pomp and magnificence of a sunset almost as dazzling and gaudy : the beams flashing up from the lea through a network of vap ours, and d y eing their extremities as with blood ; the combination of gorgeous colours, looking indeed more like a peep into some celestial kaleidoscope than the farewell glories of Dan Phcebus. No. 67. " A Day in the Forest of Atholl," by W. Evans, of Eton, is wonderfully clever. Seen in glimpses through the cluster of people gathered about it, tie picture looks like a Turner—one of the great man's least eccentric productions. The curling and gathering up of the mists, the tawny blossoms of the heather in the foreground, and the crouching figures of the deer stalkers, are the simple materials out of which the painter has created a very charming and beautiful whole. No. 172. " The Hallowed Relic," by Alfred Fripp, is cer , a'n to attract much attention, for it is a picture con- by a mind truly poetical. There is a pathos nil merely in the kneeling virgin by the sepulchral cross, rot merely in the sanguinary hue of the sunset, n o mealy in the dim crescent of the moon, which, " Like a dying lady," looks puny a,,wn upon the mourner; it is desolate and pPniive to the minutest adjuncts, and the colouring Is etpu:l:y of a character. B ~ ides the foregoing, we observe I a capital little f.k,,teh of a " Page," by the facetious and inexhaustible W. Hunt, as well as a sort of pictorial pun from the same huinourist, entitled " Drawing by Two Lights." V. Bartholomew has a very brilliant and natural com poiition of poppies in a china bowl, with orchard-fruit scattered over the table. The exhibition is unusually itorious. Amongst the nobility and other patrons present we noticed the folhwing:—The Duke of Newcastle, the Earls of Elles mere, Jersey, St. Germains, Powis. &c.; Countesses Grey, St. Germains, Jersey, Powis, and Dowagers Essex and Morley ; - Bishops of London, Winchester, Lichfield, and Chester; Lords Monteagle, Colborne, Charles Townshend, &c. ; Ladies M oateagle, Charles Townshend, Grey, Clinton, &c. ; Sirs Edward Sugden, Ed mun d H ea d , Walter James, &C. ; Ladies Head, James, &c.; Dr. Whewell, Mr. Rogers, &c. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (PRO3I OTIR Ow CORRESPONDEN T.) FRIDAY, APRIL 23. DARING ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO THE NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. About half-past one o'clock en Thursday morning the manager was disturbed by a noise at the shutters, and on throwing up the sash of his bed-room window he perceived a man run away, dropping something that sounded like an iron bar. On examining the shutters, it appeared that an in strument had been inserted between them to three them open. They glide from the inside, and would have to be forced back to obtain an entrance. The plate-glass was the next ob - stacle ; then came sundry iron doors, by which the safe is se cured; so that if the thief had got in at the window, he would still have had some work to do before he got at the cash. There is at present no clue to the parties. KING'S COLLEGE.—The annual and general court of the proprietors of this Institution, was held yesterday in the hall of the building'. The Bishop of Winchester presided. There were present—Lord Radstock, Sir R. H. Inglis, M.P., Mr. Cotten, the Rev. Dr. Spry, the Rev. Dr. Shepherd, the Rey. Dr. Jelf, the principal, and the assistant masters and professors. The business of the day was commenced with the reading of the report, which spoke highly of the progress if the institution and the conduct of the pupils of the c e c e and the school. More than a thousand students had re ceived instruction during the last year in the various branches of education cultivated in the establishment. The efforts of the hospital attached to the medical department had been instrumental in relieving a vast deal of misery; during the year 17,823 patients had been relieved. To the list of scholarships instituted in former years, a scholarship called the ° Daniell " scholarship had been added, intended to encourage the science of chymistry. The progress of the theological students had been favourable. A Chinese pro fessorship had been established. In closing their report the council stated, that they could not omit the expression of their fervent thankfulness to the Giver of all Good for the prosperity he had vouchsafed to the college, and their earnest prayers that he would be pleased still further to bless their labours. The report having been adopted unani mously, the Rev. Dr. Spry moved, and Archdeacon Harrison seconded, a resolution for the re-election of the retiring members of the council, with the addition of Mr. Newell Connop, in the room of the late Duke of Northumberland. Mr. Alderman Thompson, the treasurer, was then re-elected, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Bishop of Winchester for his conduct in the chair, to which the Right Re:. Prelate having replied, the proceedings were terminated. Tee receipts for the last year were, 30,3831. 4s. Bd. ; the expenditure, 27,648/. 6s. 3d.—leaving a balance of 2,7341. 18s. sd. THE FISHMONGERS' AND POULTERERS' BENEVO LENT lererrnenoxe—Thursday evening the twelfth annual n e ling of the members and subscribers of the above society, fo, nded for providing an asylum for aged and infirm mem bers of the trade, was held at the London Coffee House, Lud gate-hill, to receive the report for the past year, the election of officers, &c., Mr. John Surman in the chair. The report congratulated the subscribers on the important progress made during the past year. The receipts in donations, sub scriptions, and the last anniversery dinner, amounted to 1,0261. 13s. 51, which, after payment of permanent pensions 1 and casual relief,and allexpenses, lefta balance of 5171. Is. Id. The permanent fund of the society amounts to 2,7501. An asylum is now in course of erection at Wood Green, near Tottenham, for the reception of 24 aged and decayed mem bers, the cost of which, including the purchase of the site of ground, will amount to 3,250/., and which sum is now in ' hand. Amongst the recent donations was a f ur the r su b scr ip. ' tion of 50/. from J. Grove, Esq., in compliance with the wish of his late wife. A gentleman, formerly connected with the poultry trade, has also promised a bequest of 1,0001. The report was adopted, and thanks to the chairman and the officers being voted, the meeting separated. AWFULLY DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS, lam Our city has not, for a great length of time, been visited by as destructive a fire as broke out at about three o'clock this morning. On both sides of Chartres-street, from the Cus - tom-house half down to Bienville, nearly all of the extensive establishments there have already been destroyed. The fire originated in the store of Ravalet and Huet, in the second_ story of the building, one door below Custom-house-street, en Chartres ; it then crossed to the opposite side of Chartres street. At the hour of going to press nine of our largest stores, with immense stocks of dry goods, &c., are already burnt. Among those who have suffered are Simpson, fancy dry goods ; Ravalet and Hunt, dry goods, &c. ; Albert, bat store ; Heilman, dry goods, &c. ; Derringer, Vignaud, Loison, and Sylvester, Simmonet, Emanuel, and Co., Du congle, druggist ; Mace. It would be difficult at the present moment to estimate the amount of loss, nor could we get any particulars of the extent of insurance ; but perhaps 00 ,000 dollars is as near as may be the loss up to the time of going to pre ss . Rt e have again v i s it e d th e scene of de struction, and as otzfiremen seem to have overcome the element, wejudge it Orleans Times, M arch t 2.

WM. L. BATHURST. THE ANTWERPEN STEAMER.— EXPERIMENTAL TRlP.—Yesterday the Antwerpen steam-ship, commanded by Captain Thomas Jackson, made her first experimental trip for the season. This splendid steam-vessel has, within the last few weeks, been refitted, and decorated at an ex pense of many thousands, while her engines, which are up wards of 280 horse power, have been greatly improved 1..) Messrs. Blyth, of Limehouse, who have attached to her ma chinery their new tubular boiler, which not only adds to the safety of the vessels in boisterous weather, but increases the speea of the vessel too. Her trip to Margate yesterday was admirably performed, the whole distance there and back having occupied only seven hours. The Antwerpen bids fair to become one of the most popular and successful steam-ships of the many magnificent vessels engaged in the Continental trade. The well-known urbanity of Captain Jackson needs no commendation. He was en tilusiastically welcomed back to his old station by the many friends which the pleasure trip of yesterday brought tifether. ' FATAL ACClDENT.—Thursday afternoon, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, an accident occurred to a poor woman which terminated fatally. It appears that a brewer's dray was passing along White Lion-street, Goodman's-fields, and on going under the Blackwell Railway arch, which crosses the street, a train passed over it, which frightened jolte.l a o y ff her on the spot. the horses, and they bounded off at a furious pace and came in . contact with a fruit stall, the owner of which (who was and others to u t al c ? , was in the act of stooping to pick up something when a coroner's inquest, passed over her arm, and two empty barrels were the dray which fell upon the poor woman and killed She was prfatiptly romoved by the police a neighbouring public-kouse, where she lies awaiting which will be held to-day. MORNING, APRIL 26, 1847. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF TIIE KENDAL AND WINDER. MERE. On Tuesday last, in accordance with previous an nouncement, this " gem of railways" was publicly openedwith great eclat. Early in the morning flags with various bearings were hoisted on all the elevations in the immediate vicinity of the town—the time-worn tower of the dilapidated castle being the most conspi cuous. The directors issued 500 free tickets to the trades men and others of the town an neighbourhood. A little before ten o'cloca in the forenoon, a band of music pro ceeded to the company's station in Wi'dman-street. Soon after this period the directors, headed by John Gandy, Esq., the chairman of the board, and a vast assemblage of the most respectable and influential ladies and gentlemen resident in the town and immediate vicinity, took their seats in a train of first-class car riqges, to which were attached second and third-class carriages for the conveyance of such of the public as then felt disposed to traverse the line to the terminus at Birthwaite on the banks of the Lake of Windermere. At twelve o'clock at noon another full train was dis patched, which was filled to overflowing. At about two in the afternoon the directors, in company with a large body of shareholders and special visitors from the surrounding district, partook of a sumptuous de jeuner at the New Hotel, at Birthwaite, John Gandy, Esq., in the chair. For the greater pleasure and amusement of the vast influx of visitors to the fairy land, and such as were not invited to the enter tainment, the splendid new steamer, the Lcrd of the Isles, made several pleasure trips during the day between Ambleside and Newby-bridge (the whole extent of the lake). The vessel was several times crowded with all the beauty and fashion present. A band of music was on board, wlich made the surrounding mountains and woodlands reverberate with soul-stirring strains. Fetes champetre also took place on the margin of the queen of lakes, which added a noble zest to nature's grandest scenery. No accident took place to mar the proceedings of the day. It is not, we understand, the intention of the company to run trains on the Sabbath-day. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. THE HEALTH OF TOWNS' BILL. Ou Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone vestry (the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair), a numerous deputation of inhabitants residing in the Regent's Park, under the control of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, waited upon the vestry to present a memorial against the Health of Towns Bill, in which it was urged that the effect of placing the paving , lighting, and cleansing of the metropolis under the control of persons nominated by the Government would be to increase the rates, and they stateA that this was exemplified in the neighbour hood in which they resided, where the charge made by the Woods and Forests was 16d. in the pound, while in the district over which the vestry had control the sum of 9d. in the pound only was charged. The memorialists farther urged the vestry to take some measures for giving them the advantages enjoyed by their neighbours in re• spent to these rates. Mr. Joseph and Mr. Wilson spoke in favour of tl:e memorial, and Mr. Daniel asked Sir B. Hall if he could give the vestry any information as to the intentions of the Government with respect to the Bill ? Sir BENJAMIN HALL said that Lord Morpeth bad stated last night that it was his intention to bring on the Health of Towns Bill on the 10th of May; but he (Sir B. Hall) was still of opinion that, from the represen tation made to the Noble Lord, the Bill would either not be brought forward at all, or that it would be so much modified that it would be far less objectionable than it was at present.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir B. Hall) had in formed the Members of the Government, both publicly and privately, that it was not true that the borough of Marylebone and the other metropolitan districts were opposed, as it had been asserted, to all sanatory improve ment. He bad informed them that they were most anxious for such a measure, based upon the principle of representation which they were accustomed to, and which he (the Hon. Baronet) maintained they had a right to insist on.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir B. Hall) bad been given to understand that there were a certain class of persons going round the metropolis, endeavouring to make it appear that this Health of Towns Bill was a beneficial measure to the ratepayers. If the character of those parties were inquired into, it would be found that they had a very different object than benefiting the ratepayers. Mr. BULL said it bad been falsely reported that the vestry were opposed to any plan for improving the public health. He was desirous that they should give L some public disavowal of such assertion, and with that view he gave notice, that on Saturday next he should move a resolution, expressive of the .readiness of the vestry to support any Government measure for sanatory improvement which did not touch upon local privileges, and which was based on the representative principle. Lord and Lady Abinger and suite arrived at Black wall on Saturday, by the General Steam Navigation Com - pany's steam-ship Sir Edward Banks , from Ostend . ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD. — Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., has signified his inten tion of presiding at the forthcoming anniversary dinner. The cause of humanity could not be better advocated, for at the present moment all the wards are crowded, with the excep tion of the Grosvenor ward, capable of accommodating up• wards of 100 patients, but with the present pressure upon the funds of the hospital, the committee of management do not feel justified in throwing it open. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—OH Saturday last above forty houses were disposed of by auction, in com pliance with instructions from the Directors of the South- Western Railway Company, for the extension of the railway from the terminus at the wine Elms to the intended Water loo-bridge station, to be erected in the York and Waterloo bridge-roads. The houses were situated between the Westminster-bridge-road, and the York-road, and adjoin the site of the intended terminus. There are but very few houses remaining to be sold for this most desirable extension, there having been about 400 sold, the materials of which realised between 6,000 and 7,0001. THE LATE GENERAL AST.—It having been re• presented to the Lords of the Treasury that the subordinate or day-pay officers of the Customs Department would not be entitled to receive payment for the day recently set apart for the observance of a general fast by royal proclamaticm out a special order being issued by them on the subject, their Lordships have, at the recommendation of the Commis sioners, considerately granted permission for the parties men tioned to be paid their diurnal amount of salary on this, as has been the case on former occasions of a similar nature. ----- SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The remains of this re spected individual are still on board the Wellesley, which ship , is hourly expected in the river. Of course no interment at Dryburgh has as yet taken place. THE CONVICTS' MITE FOR THE RELIEF OF IRE LAND.—Ths convicts of the Warrior hulk at Woolwich having observed the boxes exhibited in various parts of the dockyard for receiving donations for the relief of the dis tressed inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland, expressed a desire that they might be permitted to contribute their mites for the same purposes, and their wishes having been made known to the authorities, the permission was granted, on the ex press understanding that the donation must be perfectly voluntary on the part of every convict. The sum collected in pence and halfpence amounted to 175., which has been for. warded to the proper quarter by Mr. Masterman, superin tendent of the convicts at Woolwich Dockyard, to be paid to the secretary of the society for the relief of the poor inhabi tants of the sister country. WARNING TO SURGEONS.—Dr. Fiddes, of Bel helvie, died on Friday night from the effects of a puncture on one of his fingers, received while making a post mortem exa mination on the body of one of his patients. The deadly virus began to show its effects soon, and although all was done that medical knowledge could accomplish, it spread through the system till the fearful tortures to which it gave rise were ended by death. Dr. Fiddes was highly esteemed where he was known, and will be much missed, not only on account of his professional ability, but for his general bene volence and gentlemanly disposition.—. Aberdeen Herald. PARISHES OF ST. IVIARTLEBONB AND PANCRAS.— The report of the Poor-law Commissioners, appointed to inquire into the administration of the poor-laws in the parishes of St. Marylebone and Pancras, in connexion with the death from starvation of Louisa Mordaunt and Joseph Woodward, has just been printed. As the object of the Coln. missioners was simply to report the state of facts to Sir G. Grey, the Home Secretary, no result has yet been arrived at in reference to the two cases of death from starvation.

The barracks are intended for the immediate accommodation of four companies of infantry, and two troops of horse, but they have been built with a view to ultimate enlargement, and by some small alterations, which may be easily effected, may be made to provide accommoda tion for double that number of troops. In addition to the regular quarters for the officers and men, and the stabling for their officers, there are connected with the building an hospital, horse-infirmary, chapel, library, reading-room, baths, armourers and farriers' shops, granaries, and magazine. There will also be a school, in which the children of the privates and non-commissioned officers will be edu cated. Within the walls of the building is a spacious area for an exercise yard, measuring 326 feet by 394 faet. The cost of the erection has been about 571, and although an extensive fire and some other adverse circumstances have occurred, they have been completed within the time speci fied in the contract. ANNIVERSARY OF CHARITY CHILDREN AT ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. —At a meering of the patrons of this society, numerously attended, on the 6th inst., the Most Noble the Marquis of Westminster was unanimously elected pre=ident in the room of his Grace the late Duke of North umberland, deceased, and we understand that preparations are making to give increased effect to that splendid festival at the approaching anniversary on Thursday, tho 3d of June, by a considerable addition to the choir, and that many pro fessional artists have volunteered their gratuitous services for the occasion. The report of Captain Caspar, of the French whaler Jacques Lafitte, dated from San Carlcs, the coast of Chili, January last, announces his arrival there with nearly 2.000 barrels of oil. After refitting, he states that it is his intention to continue operations in the neighbouring waters till the close of the season, when he shall direct his course home wards, hoping to reach port at the end of the year. He had spoken on the Bth of September the Narwal, r ith 1,900 bar rels of oil, and on the 18th of December and subsequently the Reunion, with 400 barrels; La Ville de Rennes, with 400 barrels; the Mississippi, with 600 barrels; he Pallas, with 700 barrels ; the Ferdinand, with 600 barrels ; l and the Fanny, with 700 barrels. A Berlin letter of the 16th assures us that M. Hos sauer, the King's goldsmith, was to leave on the following day for London, with the magnificent shield which his Majesty has made a present to his god-son, the Priace of Wales. MASTER MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.— Ou Friday evening the twelfth annual meeting of the mem bers of the ahrve society was held at the Bridge House Hots!, Southwark, to receive the report for the past year, to elect officers, and on general business. G. Scovel, Esq., treasurer, in the chair. Mr. Bates, secretary, read the report, which stated that although large amounts had been paid in cases of deaths, and large amounts awarded in other cases, which has diminished the capital, the deficiency may be accounted for by the number of members on foreign voyages whose subscriptions are unpaid. The number of registered members are now 1,104. The amount received during the past year was 1,4901. 7s. 6d. ; drawn from the National Debt Office 606/. ls. 2d., and balance in hand last year 1,0511. 6s. Id., making a total of 3,1471. 14s. 9d. The claims arising from deaths by natural causes and accidents, loss of life at sea, shipwrecked members, and partial losses, amounted to 1,694/. 65., which, with 500/. recently invested, leaves a balance in the hands of the treasurer of 8401. ss. 9d. The Society has now invested 6,029/. 9s. 7d. During the So ciety's existence it has distributed 10,541/. Ils., being 5,880/. to the widows and children, 3,8051. to shipwrecked members, and 856/. lls. for partial losses sustained at sea. The report was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be printed, and the usual routine business being gone through, thanks were given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—An accident arising from the employment of a horse accustomed to a par ticular mode of working, occurred on Tuesday morning, on the London-road, near between Gravesend and Rochester, by which a poor fellow lost his life. The deceased, Thomas Williams, a labourer employed on the works in pro gress for completing a double line of rail for the South- East2rn Company, having been for some time in ill health, it was deemed advisable to remove him to one of the metro politan hospitals, and for which purpose a van was procured, and one of the horses used on the works was employed in the conveyance. This horse, it appears, was what is technically termed " a tip-horse," one employed in conveying the load to where it is to be shot out, and tutored in his labour; on arriving at the spot he instinctively jumps to one side, in order to " tip" his load. On descending Gad's-hill the vehicle pressed upon his haunches, and taking this for the accus tomed signal he skipped aside, upset the vehicle, and the unfortunate patient was killed on the spot. An inquest was held on the body, before J. Dudlow, Esq., coroner for Kent,. on Thursday, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" returned. Deceased was a single man, thirty-two years of age. we DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF SODOR AND M . of Sodor and Man (Dr. W. A. Shirley),43‘lll3lacmpton Lecturer Wednesday last.

NITHSDALE LINES. A meeting of the inhabitants has been held at Dum fries in favour of the lines proposed by the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle; the Provost in the chair. The speeches showed that the proposed lines were of very great importance to the district of country indeed; and when completed would confer great benefit on the whole district. The line from Gretna to Brampton, in par ticular, would be very advantageous to them. At pre sent goods could be brought from London at 2s. 6d. per cwt.; when they should have direct intercourse by rail with Newcastle, this rate would, he doubted not, be re duced to 2s, which would make a great difference to those who imported many tons of merchandise. In place of paying 10d. or so, as they were doing just now, the inhabitants would have coal laid down at Gd per cwt. BILLS IN THE LORDS.—The Assurance Gazette, a new organ just issued in support of the insurance in terest of the country, says:—" We have heard that Lord Ashburton has lately been privately canvassing the House of Lords, to induce them to stop the passing of all railway Bills this session, except those which are for small branches out of existing lines. How far this attempt will succeed, we cannot say; but if it has been made, we do not doubt that energetic steps will be tak(n to carry the plan to a successful issue. The members of the - House of Peers, in matters of this sort, are like a flock of sheep—where cne jumps the others are sure to follow."' COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND MAN • CHESTER.—The completion of the works on the Trent Valley line will be the beginning of a new and more direct railway communication between the capital and the manufacturing districts. The line will be opened for passenger traffic on the Ist of July, and will be used for the through communication between London and Manchester, instead of the Birmingham line, shortening the distance considerably. Arrangements are being made for accelerating the speed of the through trains; and on and after the Ist of July the journey from Lon don to Manchester wilt he performed in something under fire hours, and the London morning papers will be on the table of our Exchange by half-past twelve each day. A memorial has been Vying - for ;bine days for signs cure on the tables of the Exchange. addressed to - the directors of the London and North-Western Company, praying for such an acceletation of the mail as would bring the London newspapers and letters to Manchrstrr by one o'clock, instead of three o'clock as now, nearly two hours after high change. It is not likely, however, that any such change will be made in the near prospect of a much earlier mail arrival by this openit'g.—Man Chester Examiner. INAUGURATION OF THE LICHTERVELDI CENTRAL STATION OF THE WEST FLANDERS LINE. -- This fite, which has bee^ delayed in consequence of the incle mency of the weather, took place recently. The Convoi d Honneur, decorated with flags and evergreens, left Bruges about noon, and arrived safely at Lichtervelde, where it was received by the joyous acclamations of a large concourse of the inhabitants. Inside the station had been erected platforms, also decorated with flags, Etc., on one of which were assembled the clergy in their sacerdotal robes, and on the other was grouped the beau sere of Lichtervelde and its neighbourhood. The representatives of the railway company, among whom we noticed Mr. Lewis Cubitt, Mr. Chantrell, the Director Gerant, and Mr. Prisse, the engineer, having alighted from the train, were received by the authorities of the town of Lichtervelde, Mr. Le Cheva lier Surmont, the burgomaster, addressing them in a speech expressive of the gratitude which the inhabitants would for ever feel towards the company for the new era of prosperity which has been seemed to the town 'by the opening of the railway. The cure of Lich tervelde having then pronounced an oration, proceeded with .the ceremony of the benediction of the line and locomotive, in which the entire body of the clergy assisted. A 'procession was then formed towards the town (every house decorated with flags and ban ners bearing appropriate mottos), and in the afternoon an excellent dinner was given by the authorities of the town to the company's representatives. During the banquet, the several musical societies of Lichtervelde, and the towns in the neighbourhood played their most favourite pieces. Popular games were held, bread dis tributed to the poor, and a display of fireworks in the evening having announced the conclusion of the fete, the train again started for Brines, every one, both rich and poor, having had reason to be delighted with the pro ceedings of the day. Medals of gold, silver, and bronze have been struck in commemoration of this event, by the authorities of Lichtervelde. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, ArRIL 23.

THE LAHORE STATE. Papers relating to the articles of agreement coneludcd between the British Government and the Lahore Durbar, on December 16, 1846, for the administration of the Lahore State during the minority of the Maharajah Duleep Singh, were on Monday issued by order of the House of Lords, having just been laid beforeboth Houses of Parliament, by command of her Majesty. The fol lowing are important e xtr ac t s th e r e fr om (th oug h th e principal portion of the chief documents have already Ewen published in the India intelligence) _ _ MAHARAJAH DITLEEP SINCH TO F.CURRIE, ESQ. With reference to your statement, that you have revot ted to the Governor-General the result of the in vestigation into the _ case of the recent disturbing. et Cash - mere, instituted by the Committee held on the 23 of December, 1846, and that his Lordship, in reply, after a careful and attentive perusal of the proceedings con nected with the case, had expressed his high approbation of the opinion given by the Committee, and confirmed the decision paved by them, I beg to remark that the British authorities are incomparably wise, prudent, just, experienced, and capable of distinguishing truth from falsehood, and that they are sincere friends of this Government.. I have full confidence in them, and en- tirely approve of the decision passed by them, after s due investigation into the case of Cashmere, which de cision has been confirmed by the Governor-General. In reply to your remark, that it has been a source of much regret to his Lordship, that notwithstanding a British force was stationed at this place in compliance with the request of the Lahore Durbar and Vizier, for the purpose of affording aid for the stability and main tenance of this state, the Vizier (appointed by me) had pursued an unbecoming line of conduct, i.e., he had secretly excited Sheik Imamooddeen (the Governor of Cashmere on the part of the Lahore Government) into rebellion, and instigated him not to make over Cash mere, which instructions were plainly and clearly in violation of the treaty ; I beg to state that this conduct of the Vizier has been a subject of much grief to this Government, and is considered a highly unwarrantable and unjustifiable act. With reference to your statement, that the British Government has approved of the measure taken by me of having deposed the Vizier, in consequence of his recent conduct, which was inconsistent with the stipula tions of the treaty, and that in consideration of the two following grounds, viz.:- 1. My tender age, being a minor, the difficulties of my position, and my being a descendant of the late Maha rajah Runjeet Singh, the faithful ally of the British Go vernment. 2. On account of the exertions of my army, under Sirdar Tej Singh, and Sirdar Shere Singh, in quelling the disturbances at Cashmere, which service was under taken for the purpose of maintaining the stipulations of the treaty; and further, in consideration that no other officers of the Lahore Durbar appeared to be implicated in the crimes of the Vizier; in consideration of these grounds, the British Government has acquitted this State ; but that the Governor-General now deems it proper that the Vizier should be banished from my dominions, and that, therefore, it is necessary that I should immediately dispatch him with his family to Ferosepore. With reference to these statements, I beg to state that Icannot adequately return my grateful thanks for the kind feelings which the British Government has evinced towards me, in thus considering my tender age, and the ancient relations of friendship which have subsisted be tween the British Government and the late Maharajah Runjeet Singh. The strict adherence of the British authorities to their pledged words convinces me that these kind feelings Of the British Government towards me will daily increase, and that the ties of friendship and amity existing between the two Governments, according to the treaties, will gain strength day by day, through the interposition of Colo nel Lawrence, the agent to the Governor-General. The approbation of -the British Government of the services performed by the troops of this Government employed in the Cashmere campaign, under the Con mander-in-Chief, Sirdar Tej Singh, and S:rdar Shere Singh, has afforded unbounded gratification to me and the above named Sirdars, and the army in general. I am thankful for the good offices of the Gov, rnor-General's agent (who is appointed to increase the relations of friend ship subsisting between the two Governments) in having settled the affairs of Cashmere in so satisfactory a man. ner. You have stated that the British Government has acquitted this state of the crimes of the Vizier, as none co its other officers appear to have been implicated in his crime, and that the British Government considered his deposition by me as a sufficient atonement, and have also considered it necessary ilea I should remove the deposed Vizier from my territories, and dis patch him with his family to Ferosepore. Sir, you are well aware that I have deposed the Vizier, and given peremptory orders to him to take his departure for Ferosepore without loss of time ; that preparations necessary for his deperture have been .madeeeand that carriage, &e., hare been supplied by this Government for the conveyance of his baggage. These circumstances need not, therefore, be recapitulated. Ile has this day. the Ist of Poos, 1903, taken his departure for his des tination. In reply to your statement, that on the arrival of the deposed Vizier with the Assistant Agent, a place for his resid nee will be selected in the British territories, with due regard to his dignity and comfort, according to the instructions of the Governor-General ; I beg to say that this proposal has originated in the kind feeling of the British Government towards him, and redounds to the tame of that Government. You have stated that the feelings of friendship enter tained by the Governor-General towards me have re mained unimpaired, and that it is his Lordship's desire to promote by every means in his power the stability of my GNernment and the prosperity of the people ; that the a itisfaetory proposals and the beneficial sugeestions, as well as the exertions of the Governor-General's agent (to whom the affairs of my Government are entrusted), in the troublesome times in the State far the last eight months, are well known facts; that these proceedings of the agent prove the sincerity of the desire of the Governor-General for the stability of this State, as ex pressed by his Lordship at the time of his making over the treaty to me at Lahore. Sir, I have full confidence in the kindness of the British Government, in the con tinuance of the favours of the Governor-General, and the attention of the Governor-General's agent. I am much gratified and thankful for the kindness which the Governor-General's agent has evinced for these eight months (since the conclusion of the treaty in the pre sence of the Governor-General), in protecting lives and settling the affairs of the State to my satisfaction. I return my grateful thanks for the kindness of the Go vernor General, and the exertions of the agent in set tling the affairs of Kangra, Cashmere, and Mooltan, and in causing the arrears of the pay of the troops to be discharged. The good counsels of the Governor. General are impressed on my mind ; and I know it is incumbent on me always to remain faithful to the stipu lations of the treaty. You have stated that myself, the officers, and the de pendent Sirdars of the State should effect an arrange ' meet for the administration of this Government in such a manner that it may not prove prejudicial to the inte rests of the State; and you have also stated, that it is the earnest desire of the Governor-• General that I should enjoy independent possession of the State; but that the British Government will, in future, afford no military aid to the Lahore State, in consideration of the events which have occurred during the last six months, more especi ' ally on account of the perfidious and disloyal conduct of the Vizier, and that the British force will, consequently. be withdrawn after the expiration of the specified term; and that myself and my officers and Sirdars should, therefore, establish a strong Government, either by ap pointing an able Vizier, or by making semis other :ar rangement; and that the British Government will not interfere in these matters, but that the Governor- General will not fail to give his good counsels for the stability of my State, consistently with the stipula tions of the treaty ; that I should explain to all my officers ' and Sirdars that the Governor-General is desirous of maintaining the relations of friendship and amity subsisting between the British Government and the in dependent chiefs, and that whenever the misrule of the Government of any of those chiefs disturbs the peace of the British frontier this Government will be held re sponsible for it ; that you, therefore, previously advise me, in consideration of the friendship between the twp Governments, to effect a satisfactory arrangement for the administration of my State ; for, if in consequence of the recurrence of misrule in my Government the peace of the British frontier be disturbed, I should be held responsible for the same ; and that you have written all these instructions in a friendly style, without any reserve,. that if I act up to them it will prove beneficial to my State. Sir, I feel most thankful on the perusal of your kind letter, more especially on learning that you have written to me without reserve, these instructions in a friendly style for the welfare and stability of this State. fai ß th y ful to its God'able e s n s g in a g ge t m h e e nt? t w is h h ic G h ov fa e c r t nm is e i n m t p i r s es a s l e w d a t y n s my mind.

Nevertheless, with regard to the necessity for establishing the Government of the country, and the fact of the time for the withdrawal of the troops having arrived, it is hoped that the agent, with two battalions, and one regiment of cavalry, and one battery, may be allowed to continue for some months, during which, what still remains to be done to complete the organisation of the Government in an effi cient manner may be effected ; and there can be no doubt that Colonel Lawrence will, according to the pro ,visions o f th e treaty, g i ve every a i d and ass i stance in est; blishing the Government. Inclosure 6 in N 0.9. F. CURRIE, ESQ , TO XLHARAJAH DOLEEP SINGE. _ December 14, 1846. The request of your Highness that a portion of the British force now at Lahore, and the agent of the Go vernor-General, should remain after the expiration o' the stipulated time, which measure your Highness states to be necessary for the establishment of the Governmr nt of the country, involves a departure from the provisions of the articles of agreement executed on the 11th of March last, and is a very important matter. It seems to me desirable that the chiefs of the Durbar, with the sirdars interested in the welfare of the Lahore state, should assemble at my Dial= tent, to-morrow, when I will lay before them distinctly the only conditions on which the Governor-General will consent to a modi fication of the articles of agreement above referred to ; and it will be well that these c.nefs and sirdars should prepared to give a conclusive acquiescence or rejection tAI be of the said conditions, in order that the affair rne , Y the concluded, and the neceesasv orders given reg arding movement of the British force. a the The following is an extrect from the dispatch Governor-General to the secret committee (dated Dee. 22, from the camp on the left bank of the Bees) Inclosure in No. 10.
