LONDON: FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1840. A very marked change has taken place in the tone of the Tory Journals. From being united in making a severe and continued attack on the Minis ters they have fallen out amongst themselves, and attack one another, and attack the Conservative leaders. That the Times and the Herald should take different views might indicate only a trade quarrel ; but when, in addition, we find the Herald and the Post, and the Standard contending for different principles and for different men, when we find the Standard throwing all the Tories overboard who supported the Irish Municipal Bill—three-fourths of that body, and find the Herald scolding the Standard for dealing too tenderly with those whom it calls Judas-PEEL and Iscariot-Su a.w, when we find the Standard advising the Orangemen of Ireland to evade, if not to resist the law, and find the Post taking the Standard to task for inculcating rebellion, the con clusion is forced on us that in the public as well as in Parliament there is a thorough 'break up amongst the Tories. How can it be otherwise when men have no pub lic principle to contend for. Who knows what Conservatism is ? Who can define it ? The Standard of last night says " Conservatism is purely defensive" "of the few institutions remain ing unimpaired." On that definition it scarcely differs from Whiggism, which would defend the Monarchy, the Peerage, the House of Commons Rti now constituted, the Church, with some reforms, the Courts of Law also with some reforms, our juries, our army, our navy ; that most ancient institution, the police, established by Sir 8.. PEEL ; that somewhat more modern reform in ht-le Poor-laws, in which both Whigs and Tories concurred ; and, as far as we know, nearly all our institutions, ancient and modern, except, perhaps, watchmen and constables. The definition of Con servatism given by the Standard is not one hair's breadth different from Whiggism, and those who under its name fight against the Whigs, declaring :that they differ from them in principle, are political cheats and impostors. The Standard has a subsidiary definition of Conservatism, "t o d e f en d the Protestant Constitution of the country." On that principle Sir R. PEEL, and all the T or i es w h o promoted the Emancipation Act, and more recently consented to the Irish Alunicipal Law, are not Conservatives, and the is party of which the Standa r d i s t h e organ p posed to them as completely as t o the Whi gs . The Post and the Times, who side with Sir R. PEEL, are on this principle not Conservativ e journ a l s, and limited as Conservatism is by the Standard, instead of embracing four-fifths of the gentry and three-fourths of the people of England, it includes only the extreme bigots in England, and the Orangemen in Ireland, the wretched rump of bye gone intolerance, the most ferocious, but the weakest of all our political parties• If that be Conservatism, instead of being a strong and united party, capable of governing this empire, it is not united and strong enough to go vern a cathedral chapter ; and, wherever it is domi nant, its own furious passions soon fret it into rags. The Conservatism of the Standard is not only tite defence, or rather the revival of bye-gone in stitutions, but a defence or revival of acknowledged tyranny. Whatever might have been in the days of its power and it s g l ory the iniquities of Papal Rome, it is impossibl e for one moment to deny that the Protestant Constitution of England, as directed against our fellow-citizens who adhered to the I Catholic faith, was a great and a grievous system of civil tyranny. That was acknowledged b) every successive statesman, whether Whig or Tory, who gradually relaxed or abolished the penal laws, till Sir R.. PEEL passed the Act which ad mitted Catholic voters to send Catholic representa tives to Parliament. To revive that system of tyranny is the essence of Conservatism, as defined by the Standard, which, being both unjust and impracticable, is abandoned by every rational statesman. It finds no other representatives in Parliament than Sir R. INGLis and Mr. PLUMP.. TRE, and few other advocates in the press besides the London Standard and the Dublin Evening , Packet. The Standard's narrow principle of mere de fence is not, however, strictly speaking, embraced by any party or persons. Sir R. INGLIs proposed one of the greatest changes that Parliament has been lately called on to accede to, both in principle and effect, when -he asked the House of Commons to vote money for the annual support of the Church. Lord STANLEY and the Tories had something very different in view also from defence, when they proposed and pertinaciously pressed forward the Bill for completely altering the registra tration in Ireland. Mr.KELLY and his aids, including the Herald were the reverse of Conservative when theysought to abolish the punishment of death. The Standard itself overleaps the bounds of Conserva tism, according to its own definition, when it seeks to excite the democracy to organise themselves, in order to defeat the operation of the new Municipal law, that being now one of our institutions. The Post is in some points furiously innovating. The Times goes with Sir R. PEEL in correcting all proved abuses, not in standing by all our institu tions; on which principle both have concurred with the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of LONDON, and Lord J. RUSSELL in promoting a slight reform in the Chutth. On the Standard's definition we do not believe/that there exists a ge nuine Conservative in the lain& All persons and parties want some change' which they call im provements, and the main `difference is that the one party seeks to revive and restore, by corruption, by fraud, and by force, the old brutal system of Tory tyranny, while the other pretends at least to extend freedom, so far as that is compatible with political order and obedience. The plain and pal pable reason, therefore, why Toryism is breaking all to pieces, and losing ground in the country is, that it is based on no public principle, and is a mere scheme of political fraud and hypocrisy. It pretends to venerate the rights of the people, and the free institutions of our ancestors ; it really seeks power, to curtail the former and warp the latter to the selfish purposes of a narrow clique of aristo crats. From the differences of opinion avowed by the Tory journals, while similar differences, it must be admitted, prevail amongst the Ministerial journals, it is apparent that the Press is becoming more meditating, more thoughtful, and more independent than formerly. On the question of Church-rates and Reform of Parliament, for example, we know of no Liberal Journal which does not go further than the Ministers. All our previous observations tend to prove a similar separation between the Tory journals and Tory statesmen. One of the signs of the times, therefore, most full of hope, is the grow ing independence of the Press, which no longer supports the politicians of either party, and may perhaps be described,in its influence over the public mind, as superior to both. There is no Journal which, occasionally, more amuses us by its lucubrations than the Morning Post. Formerly, when on the look-out for mares' new, we invariably turned to the Morning Herald; but, celebrated as Granny was in her day for a con ! Cr ita r fry vs •••• tion if her claims were ever equal to those which might be put forth by our fashionable Contem porary as a real startler of the " natives." And then the gravity with which the Post shakes his " ambrosial curls," when the question to be solved rationally admits of a double interpretation ! It is enough to make one die with laughter. In an article which appeared in that Journal on Wednes day, under the head " Tee-total humbug," pur porting to be a review of some silly trash, in rhyme, on the subject of total abstinence from spirit drinking, we find the following exquisite specimen of the process of ratiocination in the solution of a great moral, and, as the Post has it, political problem : " It may, we think, be matter for doubt whether the intention of these men be the perversion of our people to Popery, as the writer asserts. We incline to think that political objects are more immediately concerned, and our opinion is not shaken by the fact that the new system has been the most extensively carried out by a Popish priest. The generality of these gentry are as little in love with Popery, per se, as we are ; but they know by experience that it is a powerful political engine, and that, in order to the proper working of such a machine, the means of combination, and the fa cilities for large public meetings, are most essential. It became necessary, however, that in the employment of these means, care should be taken to avoid exciting the jealousy of the authorities, and the pretended pro motion of temperance was thought a plausible mode of doing so. This, we are convinced—together with the pocketing of some thousands of pounds sterling by the authors of it—is the real object of the temperance scheme, and indeed proof is already before us in the conversion of it, in one part of the United Kingdom, to purposes exclusively political." It may, we think, be a matter for doubt whether a jackass be a donkey, as some writers on natural history assert. We incline to think that a jackass is not a donkey, and our opinion is not shaken by the fact, that the dam and sire of donkeys com monly breed jackasses. And, to make an end of doubting, we are convinced that a donkey is not a a jackass, and that settles the question. This is something in the spirit of the logical acumen of our fashionable Contemporary, who begins with a doubt and ends with a certainty. The real ab surdity, however, is in the grave assumption that tee-totalism is necessarily the offspring of Popery or Radicalism. The Church of England has so few claims to the veneration of the poor that we cannot consent to see her stripped of all share in the promotion of sobriety, and consequently of de cency and morality among them. It is true that Father MATHEW was first in the field, and that seve ral Catholic Prelates have declared themselves fa vourable to the administration of the Temperance pledge in their diocese ; but it is not less true, that some Prelates of the Church of England are fa vourable to the temperance cause, and that no dig nitary of the Established Church has been found to oppose the formation of temperance societies. The Post is convinced the object of the tee-totalers is political. W e are much more rationally con vinced it is nothing of the kind ; but were it even so, the country and the Government would have nothing to dread from a nation of sober artisans, governed by sober rulers, and instructed by sober pries“tss.winßisuht m th n e it t it r t u id th e is b , eg th n a is t t t h o e a t l e a m rm per t a h n e ceof the aris tocracy, who are becoming apprehensive that their drunkenness and debauchery will appear in quite a new light when the multitude are capable of judg ng of the enormity of such vices. It would be as easy as in the present state of society it would be irniitereshmsenmembers o f t h e of the G ospe l , who invidious to nam e e v m en an m y Legislature, and are in the habit of railing at the vices of the poor wretches who spend their earnings in the gin pa laces of the metropolis, and yet who scruple not, when snugly ensconced in a private room in a club to await the rising sun, knee-deep in cards, and half blind from the combined effects of wakefulness and champagne, claret, or burgundy. Upon this curious feature in the morality of the upper classes, as they call themselves, we leave the Post to make its own reflections. We intended to have stopped here, but on look ing over the remainder of the article which pro voked these remarks, we find another passage which will bear quoting. Upon it, also, we have a word or two of comment to offer : " It is sheer hypocrisy to prohibit the use of dogs in the poor man's truck, while you permit the carriage of the rich man's child to be drawn by goats. It is sick ening to us to see English women watering the floor of Exeter Hall with their tears at the bare mention of the labours of a nigger, when the same women will load a four•wheeled carriage with five insides and three out, and then expect one horse to drag it. And finally, to come at once to the point immediately before us, we are disgusted to see English wives and mothers, dizened out with ribbons, and medals, and banners, filling up the ranks of a public procession and declaring by their presence that they will not do what it ought to be the basest of libels even to suspect them of—that they will not get drunk ! Nay, Bishops and Judges have not scrupled to commit this gross indecency, and thus to give occasion for a scandal that but for their own absurd conduct none would have dared to dream of." The sterling good sense, and manliness of the first part of this extract is deplorably out of keep ing with its conclusion. We detest cant and humbug as much as does the Post, and we would venture to say, more ; but we cannot blame indi viduals if in their endeavours to eradicate an evil they adopt the means indicated by the system which State priests and Governments prescribe for testing the purity of a people. The Post is scandalized that women, and Bishops, and Judges, should admit by implication that they are liable to get drunk ; but the Post is not scandalized that women should admit by im plication at the altar, that they might, without a vow to the contrary, prove unfaithful to their hus bands' beds, and that Bishops and Judges admit, in like manner, by the implication arising out of vows and oaths, that they would not voluntarily administer faithfully the laws of either GOD or the country. Does not every witness who takes an oath to speak the truth, admit by implication the possibility of his or her telling a lie ? Does not the bare attendance at the morning service of our holy religion, as per formed in the Established Churches of this country, imply an admission on our part, that we have " erred and strayed" from the paths of righteous ness ; that we are become " lost sheep ;" and that there is "no health in us ?" And if we are thus to be treated by priests and legislators as criminals of the deepest dye, where is the great harm in adding to the black catalogue of our guilt a pro pensity to tipple ? If children, unconscious of sin, and as pure in mind as angels, are made in our very churches to confess themselves little mon sters of depravity, and worthy objects of Divine vengeance, what is there wonderful in seeing grown men and women, even in the highest ranks, treading in the footsteps of their infancy, so far as to imply in a promise a natural preference for brandy to pump -water, which they will henceforth labour to overcome ? While we refuse to admit a youth to our Universities without an anti-Dissenting pledge, or a Judge to the Bench without an anti-bribery pledge, or a Member into Parliamant without an anti-revolutionary and anti-Popish pledge, or a witness without an anti-perjury pledge, or to lay hands on a Bishop without an anti-simony pledge, let us at least have the decency and the consis tency not to laugh at the anti-drunken pledges of any class of the people. The following very pithy paragraph is from the leading columns of the Mo rn i ng P os t : " It is as well that the public opinion in England should be thoroughly enlightened as to the real rela tions existing between this country and France, for it is scandalous that shallow-pated, narrow-minded, or sel fish writers should essay to conceal the dangerous point at which affairs have arrived. It is u p i ositively wicked tiosieau Luc pcupic x. pruuaulinies of war and peace. It shall not be our fault that Eng lish residents in France be taken by surprise, and we shall continue to publish such information we deem to be authentic as may throw light on the intentions of the French Government." The earnestness of the Post is amusing. The French Ambassador is a guest at Windsor Castle, and a few days ago Lord GRANVILLE was sharing the hospitality of the French Monarch at the Chateau of Eu in Normandy ; and yet English writers are abused for not imploring their country men to quit France, where, if they remain a week or two longer, they will either have their throats cut or be made prisoners of war. We are not alarmists to this extent, and we neither see the wisdom nor the policy of pretending to be so. Were war declared to-morrow, we should have as little fear for the personal safety of our countrymen sojourning in France as we have at this moment. But after all that has taken place, we see no sufficient grounds for apprehending that hostilities will take place between England and France. For after all the noise made by the Paris Press, the question of war or peace is not to be de termined by the dicta of the Metropolitan Journal ists. The opinion of the Chambers and the KING will go for something, and that of the mercantile classes, who are all for peace, will throw additional weight into the Royal and Legislatorial scale. I n a word, the real wickedness is in alarming the public mind, and so kindling into a blaze of fury the worst passions of the worst classes of the populace. The Post has already recounted outrages com mitted on the English by the mob of Paris. I s it intended to provoke retaliatory vengeance on the part of a London mob ? We cannot believe it ; and yet does not the whole drift of the language of the Post warrant such a construction ? The National of Wednesday, which we have received with the other Paris Joournals of the same date, takes The Sun to task, in an article of considerable length, for misrepresenting its views of the importance of the URQUHART and ATWOOD demonstrations at Birmingham, Newcastle, and Glasgow ; and for representing the tone of the Republican organ as more bombastic than accorded with English ideas of good taste. The National denies having used towards England menacing ex pressions, and says that France is too conscious of • her own power to insult the weakness of other t States by an unnecessary display of her resources. We never imputed such puerilities to the French nation. We never, for an instant, sup posed the articles in the National the echo of public opinion in France. Our quarrel was with the Press of Paris—not with the French Go vernment or the French people, For months toge ther our ears have been stunned with the enumera tion of French fleets and French armies which were to act against England. The National itself some days ago, in an article exceeding a couple of columns in length, told us in a tone which appeared rather menacing, that France had—we forget at this instant how many, and we cannot at the moment find the paper—but at all events an over whelming force of ships of the line, frigates, cor vettes, and armed steamers, and that she could begin the war by landing from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand Frenchmen on our coast. We deprecated, and we shall continue to deprecate, while there remains a possibility of preserving the peace of Europe, the appearance of such articles, whether in French or English newspapers. Feel ing assured that their only effect upon the public mind would be to excite the vulgar prejudices of the uneducated and unreflecting of every class, we could not witness their appearance without pro testing against them. There is no party in Eng land wishing to promote a rupture with France— there is even no party in this country which is not as much opposed on principle to a war with France as the Attwoodites, and Cargilites, and Urquhartites, of Glasgow, Newcastle, and Birmingham. The National entirely misconceives the drift of the movement in these towns ; and still more the real views as well as the policy of Lord PALMERSTON i —which i n rea li ty i s as pac ifi c i n i ntent i on, what ever France may make it in effect, as that of any Quaker in the United Kingdom. The trial of Prince Louis NAPOLEON is se vetely criticized by the Nationa?. "It would ap pear," says that journal, " that about a dozen of the Peers who met yesterday to constitute them selves into a court of justice, felt some qualms of conscience at the business they were about to un dertake, for out of 140 odd Peers who at first as sembled, only 133 remained to form a secret Com mittee." It remarks that out of the five Peers who were appointed to receive the evidence and report upon it, four owed their fortunes to the EMPEROR. The National observes that the bio graphy of those Peers is inscribed in the memory of the nation ; and it concludes by saying that it is not Prince Louis who ought to complain of this proceeding. After his silly attempt at Bou logne, the worst he had to fear was oblivion and silence. But the Government has placed hire on a pedestal in front of an unpopular Court. He was only a ridiculous pretender, and they have con verted him into an interesting victim, The CA u followingLAY article o n th e presence o f M r . in France is from th e C ourr i er Fran cais of Wednesday. The closing paragraph fully bears out what we have said of the absurd and MA pernicious rumours set afloat by the Morning Post : . _ Mr. Macaulay arr i ved in P ar i si an d per h aps i s here.still no doubt, t o see W i t h hi s own eyes the state of opinion in France as we ll as t h e pro gress of the armaments, We fear only o n e th i ng , t h a t Mr. He has has wished, Macaulay may not have taken sufficient time to observe accurately what he has seen. Prance does not colleen' her preparations; she makes them openly ; and she is glad that it is known that, in accepting with regret the necessity under which there seems the wish to place her, she prepares for it with a resolution vsbith will not be shaken. Mr. Macaulay is a distinguished oras tor and an eminent whiter to whom is attributed the bo nour of the finest pages in the Edinburgh llevieW. He is well acquainted with the Indies, where he bas been em ployed some years. We should not wish to affirm that he was as well prepared to judge France, and that upon the rapid examination he has just made he will report erroneous impressions. The Morning Post has published a plan of campaign, the conception of which it attributes to the French Government. We are willing to believe that the English Ministry has not authorised these absurd rumours by its sanction. France has no hostile projects; she will only make war if she be forced to it. Until then it is waste of time and trouble to amuse oneself in calculating strategetical movements, independently of circumstances, distances, and places. We must, above all, deny a report mentioned by the Morning Post, and which tends probably to frighten English tourists. This Journal pretends that the French Government purposes, as a prelude to the war, to arrest all the English who reside in our territory, and lay an em bargo on their property. These are measures which no humane Government resorts to except as reprisals, and which public opinion in France would energetically re ject. If we must recommence, after twenty-five years of peace, the sanguinary struggle which had lasted an equal number of years, we will not make war against the people as individuals—we will make it against Governments. These are principles which the progress of civilisation has established, and which everybody for the future ought to respect." We subj o i n a summar/ o f all that is of any in terest in Wednesday's Journals The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from L'Orient of the 14th inst., mentioning that the armaments ordered by the Ministry were proceeding with an activity which could only be com p are d with that observed in that harbour during the wars of the empire. The vessels now arming at L'Orient are—the Jemappe, a new ship, of 100 guns; the Artemise, a frigate, of 50; the klerceau, a new corvette, of 30; the Peyrouse and Alcibiade brigs, of 'lO ; the Turquoise, a schooner, of 4 ; the Brandon and Gassendi steamers, of 6. The vessels now on the stocks, and Which were to be immediately launched, are—the Semillante, Andromaque, and Penelope frigates of 60 guns; the Duchesse d'Orleans, a frigate of 50 ; the Baucis, Decides, and Levrette, schooners of 4. The vessels remaining on the stocks are the Bayard and Wagram ships of 100 guns ; the Donawirth, Annibal, and Duguay- Trouin, ships of 80 guns; the Vengeance frigate, of 60; the Entreprenante frigate, of 50; the Mcurthe, a corvette, of 30; and the Asmodee steamer of 350 horse power, and mounting 30 guns. Orders to build two other steamers of the same site, and another of 220 horse poweh, bad been received by the inatitime authorities. The regiment of artillery (if the marine in garrison at L'Orient was to be increased by six companies. Lord Granville, the English Ambassador, was expected yesterday (the 18th) at Rouen. His equipages had ar rived at the Hotel de Rouen on the preceding day. It was supposed he was going to London. All the persons implicated in the affair of Boulogne have arrived at Paris, except Colonel Voisin and the Pole Ovinski, who are both wounded, and are still at Boulogne. They are seventy-four in number, of whom seventeen arc in the Contiergetib, Ind the others at St. Pelagie. Prime Louis Bonaparte is to be tranferred to-day from the Conciergerie to the orison of the Luxembeurp. rtn.- iiouay anti tne neighbouring towns have received the descriptioifof the persons of 13onapartist con spirators, with directions to search the ians and hotels.— Le A Ministerial Journal has not feared to announce. I and without any remark, that the Government, being obliged to concentrate its whole naval force in the Mediter ranean, was going to abandon our Colonies in the West Indies, and to leave them to defend themselves as well as they could. We are unwilling to believe in such a resolu tion. The Journal des Debats, more patriotic than the Ministerial Journal;shows how impolitic such an act would be. We will add that it would be base and shameful. The Colonies are French by the same title as the several parts of the mother country, and the Government is no more at liberty to sacrifice our transmarine possessions than our Northern and Southern Departments.—Le Commerce. According to the accounts in the French Papers, it ap pears that the conferences which were held at the chateau of M. Metternich, at Koeningswortli, have been suddenly transferred to Dresden, under the pretext of honouring the King of Prussia, who is expected in the above town on the 13th, in company with the Empress of Russia. M. Met ternich, Count Nesselrode, M. Tatischoff,; and Count Maltzhany had arrived previously. It is also stated that the diplomatists whereiplomatistthey sarweilitofinrdetuthrne Englishafterw Ambassador ardstoKoenin ands the Count Woronzow, who went previously to Postdam, where he had an audience of the King of Prussia.

We must remark, says the German journals, that their diplomatic movement has for its object the maintenance of peace, and, at all events, the treaty will be executed in a manner not to provoke a serious resistance on the part of France. All this looks well in words, but the enor mous fall in the funds at Vienna does not indicate an ab solute confidence in their management for France. The German press continues a profound silence on the result of the mission of M. Sainte Aulaire, who, in all pro bability, was disappointed to find that M. Metternich ;had left for Dresden. • • Accounts from Brest state that the scarcity of naval mate rims is so great in that port, that it has caused the sus pension of the most urgent works, on examining our naval magazines, which before were encumbered with ma terials, we may say at present are empty.

DRESDEN, AUG. 11.--- We see many Russians of distinc tion pass through our city, on their way to Bohemia. First was Count \Voronzow, who passed through Dresden on his way to Carlsbad.

AUG. 12,— The Russian statesmen, whose arrival I an- Bounced yesterday, are still here ; and beside them Prince Metternich, Count Von Tatischeff, and Count Mortimer Maltzan, have arrived, to meet his Majesty the King of Prussia, who, it is said, will arrive here to-day. THE GENTILITY OF THE TIMES.—The Herald quarrels with the Times for writing an agreeable but exaggerated description of Gravesend. It seems to resent the attempt at burlesque in the Thunderer as an invasion of its own particular department. We thought the description so accurate in its general features, that we concluded it could only have been penned by a weekly visitant, and that it is very poor jealousy in the Herald to quarrel with such an exposure of the taste and pur suits of its rival. LUDLOW, AUG. 20.—ATaocrou; ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—This morning, a little before four, the in mates of the Angel Inn were alarmed by dreadful cries of murder and a crashing of glass. On making a search about the house, they discovered in one of the bed-rooms, in a state of nudity, a corn mercial gentleman, who belongs to the house of Christopher, George , and Co., shot-manufacturers , of Bristol, with his throat cut in a most horrid man ner, and the room all smeared over with blood. Sus picion fell on a man of the name of Misters, who slept in the same house, and who has been arrested. It is supposed that he concealed himself under the bed. The unfortunate sufferer is in very weak state, without any hope of recovery. The examination of the prisoner is going on. CALLIGRAPHY.—We have just been favoured with a sight of some remarkable specimens of Calligraphy, executed by Mr. John Craik, master of the Academy at Dumfries, who, we understand, has had the honour of exhibiting several of his specimens to her Majesty, by whom they were much admired. Till we had seen Mr. Craik's performances, we had no idea to what pei fection the art of Calligraphy could be carried. In deed this gentleman, by the blended skill, grace, and spirit of his execution, has almost raised it to the rank of the Fine Arta. We wish him all the success which his talents and perseverance deserve. ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The following are the only additional particulars re lative to this calamitous event, of whieth we gave a full account yesterday, in nearly the whole of our first im pression. Upon inquiry this morning we were informer th a t all the persons who were hurt by the accident on Wed nesday evening were improving. Those seriously in jured are not yet pronounced out of danger, but their cases are not hopeless. The others have so far recovered as to have been removed to their homes. The inquest on Eastman, who was killed, will he held this evening at Brentwood. We believe no new fact will appear. There is no doubt at all that the accident was wholly caused from the carelessness or foolhardiness of the engineer in not letting off the steam when about to descend the inclined plane at Brentwood. Since the preceding account was put in type, we have received the following melancholy particulars up to a late hour : DEATH OF ANOTHER OF THE SUFFERERS.—This morning the town of Brentwood was thronged by vast crowds of persons, amongst whom were a large body of the Directors an d Proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway, who had come down by the trains in anticipation that the Coroner's Inquest would take place on the body of Eastman, the engineer, in the result of which they were deeply interested. The inquest had, in the first instance, been appointed to take place by Mr. Lewis, the Coroner, at nine o'clock this morning ; but it being ascertained that several other of the per sons injured were not expected to survive, and that those who were enabled to give the best evidence in the matter were, from the frightful in juries they had sustained, unable, and not in a fit state to attend, he withdrew his warrant for summoning the Jury, and postponed the inquest until to-morrow, in order to ascertain if any others expired, and to enable the parties to be present who were in the train at the time of the melancholy occurrence. During last night Drs. Butler and Richardson were in attendance on the sufferers who lie in the Nag's Head and Fleece inns, Mr. Ftbsworth, the nephew of Mr. Ebsworth, opti cian, of Fleet-street, was relieved from his sufferings by death shortly after three o'clock this morning. He had come from Norwich, where his relations resided, on a visit to his uncle, and many of them were present when he died. Foster, the engineer, and Austin, the stoker, are, however, in such a state as to leave no hopes whatever of their recovery at 12 o'clock to-day. Mr. Hall, the Managing Director, and most of the Board, proceeded to the spot where the accident hap pened. They discovered that the engine, which was found embedded several feet into the soil, was measly dashed to atoms. A first and second class carriage had shared a similar fate. _ CLAIM Is Y THE CROWN TO FISH A PORTION OF THE THAMES AT WINDSOR. The Crown, for many years past, has claimed the right to fish a certain portion of the Thames close to Windsor, and many disputes have arisen in conse quence between the lessee of this portion of the river and the agents of the Crown. The case came on for final decision before a full Bench of Magistrates at the Town-hall, Windsor, yes terday. The party summoned by Mr. Batcheldor, the lessee of the portion of the river claimed by the Crown, was Mr. Whitman, one of the Clerks of the Works in the department of the Woods and Forests, who was charged with having illegally fished with a net and trespassed on the water in question. The mere act of fishing was admitted by the de fendant. Mr. Batcheldor put in a lease, under the Corporation of Windsor, granted in 1834, which demised to him for a term all the water from 'Windsor-bridge to a place called the Abbot's-pile, below the weir, from bank to bank. It was admitted by Mr. Batcheldor that the Crown had the right to fish in the cut belonging to the King's engine, but no further than this cut extended some seventy or eighty years ago. The shoal in the centre of the stream having been lengthened very con siderably since that period, the Crown maintains that its right to the water, to the end of the addition to the shoal, has been proportionally extended. Mr. Lucas, who appeared for Mr. Whitman, after having examined several witnesses, who deposed that they had seen the servants of the Crown fishing the disputed water from 15 to 50 or 60 years ago, then submitted to the Bench that he had shown a colour. able right on the part of the Crown, and he called upon the Magistrates to dismiss the summons. Ultimately the Magistrates decided that Mr. Whit man had been guilty of a trespass, for which they in flicted a fine of 10s. and costs, thus negativing the right claimed by the Crown. PREFERMENTS IN THE CHURCH. The Rev. George Campion Berkeley, A.M.,*.has been presented to the living of Southminster, Essex, by the Governors of the Charter-house. The election to fill the vacancy in the Lectureship of Dedham, Essex, occasioned by the decease of the Rev. W. Hurlock, took place on Monday last, when the Rev. Dr. Taylor, the Master of the Grammar School, in the same place, was chosen to the office. The Rev. Benjamin Rees, 8.A., Curate of St. Michael's, Aberystwith, has been appointed Rector of Eglwyscummin, in the county of Carmarthen, vice the Rev. John Brown, deceased. Patron, the Lord Chan cellor. His Grace the Lord Primate has presented the Rev. James Jones to the parish of Kilmore ; and the Rev Savage Hall to the parish of Newtownhamilton, vacant by the promotion of the Rev. Robert Miller, in the diocese of Armagh. DIPLOMACY.—The Journal de FranYbrt gives the following of the 11th inst. from Vienna.._." It is reported that Prince Metternich will return here much sooner than was expected, not later than between the 10th and 15th of September. M. Bailli de Tatischeff, the Russian Ambassador to the Court of Austria, will be back at Vienna on the 20th inst. The French Ambassador, the Count de St. Aulaire, vrill remain only a fortnight at Marienbad, which baths are only a league from the chateau of Ccenigswarth. and then come to Vienna for a continuance, It is, therefore, improbable that there will be any Congress at Kceuigswarth, as some Journals have announced."

A NOTEC;iiIITEPARA PREPARATION.—A Correspondent at Waltham Abbey informs us that the Government, after allowing the powder-mills at that place (the only Govern ment powder-mills) to remain for several years in a dila pidated state, have recently sent orders that they should be restored to efficiency in the shortest possible time. In consequence of this order, new machinery is in course of being fitted up. Our Correspondent adds, that on Monday last an order was received for the manufacture of a large quantity of cannon powder with the utmost dispatch. He also says that the small arm department at Enfield Lock is in full employment. —Post.

CORN EXCHANGE. There hate been small arrivals of English Grain and Flour this week, but good of Foreign wheat.

The British Funds continue heavy and depressed, al though there is every prospect of a continuation of fine weather end a good harvest. This is not crying to any unfavourable continental intelli gence being received, but, if we are well informed, is en. tirely owing to the appteaching account day, which takes place on the 27th inst. Report says that the Hebrews are great Bulls in Consols, and arc trying to get out of this account, and to come in for the next at lower prices ; this has the effect to depress the Market.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—We have just been given to understand that the opening of the line to Bath is definitely fixed for Monday the 31st of August. Several experimental trips have been made during the last few days, in all cases attended with a successful re sult. On Thursday one of the engines went at a speed of sixty miles an hour, or a mile per mi nute. On Tuesday, the Meridian and tender did the distance from Salford, through Keynsham, to the entrance of No. 3, tunnel, nearly four miles, in the incredibly short period of three minutes. On Friday a powerful locomotive drew the enormous weight of 24 waggons, loaded with gravel, for the ballasting of the line. The skew-bridge at Bath will be completed in a very few days, and the elegant station at that place will also be ready by the end of next week. All doubts are now removed as to the time for opening, as this part of the works was that which caused the principal delay. The progress of the works at the Bristol terminus is very satisfactory, and is as rapid as possible.—Bristol Standard. STOCKJOBBING.—The Commerce says, an es timate, for the correctness of which it can vouch, has been made of the amount of difference paid on time bargains at the Bourse 011 the last settling day. This amount, it says, is twenty-two millions of francs. This journal adds the following observations :—" It will be seen that the Government, which has closed the gaming houses, has left in full activity the most fatal foiers of this social leprosy. It is no longer permitted to our women cooks to throw their wages into the wheel of our lottery k but all classes of the population are invited to risk the fate of their famil:es and the honour of individuals in stockjobbing. The most extraordinary things are stated at ;the Bourse of the scandalous profits which have been made there ; the names of parties and the amount of their gains arc given, and public morals have again to blush at what is passing in certain regions. We do not, however, pity the dupes, for, if only one-half of what is reported be true, they ought to rise against the authors of so much disaster, and call upon public opinion to put down such infamous proceedings." The great banking-house at Havre of Widow Mitchel and Sons has stopped payment, inconsequence of several persons, alarmed at the prospects of war, having suddenly drawn out their deposits. PRUSSIAN AMNESTY.--A letter from Magde burg, of the 11th instant, in the Leipsie Gazette, says : " In a few days all political prisoners will be set at liberty. M. de Humboldt has had a great share in this merciful measure. Not only all the political prisoners without ex ception, amounting to between thirty and forty, but also all who have been condemned for baling been engaged in duels, will be set at liberty." SUPPOSED MURDER.—Mr. Johrl Mather, a farmer and lime-burner of Ashover, Derbyshire, it is be licved, was last week robbed on the highway, and after %lards murdered. He left home on horseback, accompanied by hie daughter on a Welsh pony, with a 10/. note, half a sovereign, and sure silver on his person. He left his daugh ter at Calow, and on hie reeve at the Crown public-house, Chesterfield, he had the pony with him upon which bis daughter had ridden. This was abent nine at night, and very won afterwards deceased was found lying across the road, in a stale of insensibility. After lingering in a state of insensibility tietil Monday night, he expired, leaving a wife and nine childree. On searching his clothes neither purse, money, nor pocket handkerchief was found ; and this fact, together with a wound being found at the back of the neck, as if made by a bludgeon, and another on the back of the left hand, caused a _strong impression that deceased had been violently assaulted, arid then robbed. An inquest has been held on the body, and a veeditet retterneci—" That the deceased died from the wound at the iceeek of the head, but how of by what means given does not appoaiY DESPATCI/ OF BUSINESS FROM RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—On Wednesday, the first day the Ayrshire Railway was opened, a manufacturer in Paisley left town for Ayr by the train at half-pant two p. m, He went to Ayr, engaged twenty weavers, dined, bought a fine sal mon, brought it home to Paisley, where he arrived at half past eight, and had the fish cooked and served up, on the same night, to a "upper party, whom he had previously invited. It was formerly considered good labour to go or return from Paisley to Ayr on the name day. It used also to be considered great despatch to go and return between Glasgow and Paisley, and transact business, in the course of three hours. Last week we, however, met a Glasgow gentleman who went out to Paisley, did the business he went on, and was back in Glasgow within one hour. it is also common for some of the Glasgow merchants to come out to Paisley in the morning, make their purchases, and be in their places of businesa by ten o'clock.— Glasgow Chronicle. The recent opening of the North Midland and other railways is about to afford a much quicker convey ance for letters between the metropolis and this part of the kingdom than we have hitherto experienced. On and after Monday, the 24th August, the London bags for this town and neighbourhood will be brought to Leeds by rail way, and be immediately dispatched by the present Dar lington mail, which is to be continued to Newcastle, where it is expected to arrive at four o'clock in the afternoon, only twenty hours after leaving London. By this arrange ment the London letters and evening newspapers will be delivered here on the evening of the second day instead of on the following morning, as at present. The present mail will be continued as heretofore, and the new mail, we are informed, will leave Newcastle for the South at I seven o'clock in the morning.... Tyne Mercury.
