The editor of the Hertfordshire County Press , in. taking leave of his readers upon - the fusion of that journal with the Hertford Mercury, makes the fol lowing instructive and interesting staterhent : " The Comity Press first made its appearance in. 1832, and took part in the fiery discussions which agitated the publiemindat that period, as the chain pion of Toryism. As a commercial speculation it was never successful : fortune declared against it at the first ; and during the years it continued to advocate Tory and Conservative men and measures it probably was indeteed for the means of existence rather to the politicalneeds of wealthypatrons, than to the favour with which it was regarded by the general public. Certain it is that, so soon as it was released from the bondage of lea din g strings, and came into the hands of proprietors who had only the profits arising from the sale of the paper, at from the advertisements inserted in it, to depend upon—it was discovered to be kfailure. The public. amid not support it. , Four differennt proprietors, some of whom e xpendedeonsiderable sums of money in improving it, successively retired frern its man- Agenient wiser and sadder' men. It was clear that a conservative newspaper would not pay. The leaders of the conservative party refused to receive it into leading strings again ; and it was in the market—a most unmarketab'e commodity. "At the time referred to—the year 1851—it oc curred to the proprietor of the Ile,rtford Mercuty that, if the countY.4ould not accept the County Press as the ailv6Ca.te of cht , serivatistre, -it might, perhaps accept it in the new character of a neutral Raper, whose colums should be open for the discus ?' .11 of pel:tical questions, but which should not itself have any political bias. This project was cer tainly feasible. All the resources of the Hertford Mercury, in the shape of -reporters and writers, would be available in the County Press, without .any great increase Of expenditure ; and it therefore was reasonable to expect that, though the County Press was a failure whiht conserva tive, and whilst requiring a separate establishment for its production,—it would be successful as an in dependent, or neutral, paper, issuing from the office of a well known and thoroughly successful journal. Full and accurate reports of local meeting-) and the earliest intelligence on subjects of general impor tance, would at once be secured to the public ; and those who did no!) like to read these things in the columns of a newspaper would have the op portunity of reading them in a newspaper which would contain nothing to offend their political pre judices. " It was with these views that the proprietor of the Hertford Mercury became the proprietor of the County Press. The change of proprietorship took place in July, 1851, and was announced in a leading article, in which it which it was state 1 that particular attention would henceforth be directed to agriculture, and that the fullest and most elaborate reports of the London - and pro vincial markets would be published. Arrangements were made to this end, and the County Press be came one of the best market newspapers in the coun try. We confidently appeal to our readers whether we did not faithfully fulfil the other promise which we made, that we would be severely impartial and loftily just. Commtinicat . ons on political subjects were freely admit ed to these columns, without re i ference to the views they advocated, t he onl y con dition of insertion being that they should contain nothing personally offensive and discourteous. In the leading articles party politics were eschewed ; but our readers will remember that, though we took no part in these tempting discussions, we rendered some service to the public by our advocacy of mea sures of social amelioration, in reference to which the best men of all parties are now agreed. There was that in the County Press which might interest men, whatever their political views, and there mese nothing that ought' to have offended any. The con servative party certainly owed a debt of gratitude ;o us; fo-, though we did not undertake to espouse their party views, or defend their party projeCts, we offered them an organ in which they might de fend themselves without risking those editorial cri ticisms and replies, the dread of which often pre vents men from writing in the fairest and best con ducted newspapers of opposite politics. " But the conservative party did not appreciate the boon we offered them. They - certainly did not support the County Press to the extent to which, under the circumstances, might h Ivo been ex pected. The bond between us was therefore dis solved. The County Press as a tory newspaper, and as a neutral newspaper, had failed. The majo rity of its supporters, while it sustained the-latter character, were liberals, and we therefore felt bound, injustice to our subscribers, hnd in justice to ourselv: ts, to make the County Press a liberal newspaper. "It is now our duty to announce that this last experiment has failed. There is no transformation of which the County Press seems susceptible from which its success asa commercial speculation can be hoped. We have shown that the public would not have it as a tory newspaper—we have learned that they nevertheless prefer a politic al to a neutral news paper, for politics they will have—and we have also learned that there is not room and scope enough in the county for two liberal newspapers — even though one be published on-Saturday, and the other on Tuesday. One after another the subscribers to the County Press have transferred their favours to the Hertford Mercury, until the number of sup porters has been so reduced that we do not feel jus tified in continuing our journalistic labours. " In taking leave of our readers we have only to regret that henceforth our channel of usefulness is closed to us. We may, however, without being arrogant, hope that, since there are some who will probably regret the sudden discontinuance of a journal which has for years past supplied them with materials for thinking and for discussion on many subjects of interest, they will not be unwill ing to renew the acquaintance which can t e no longer kept up through the meclivm of those co lumns, in these of the _Hertford Mecury, in which the County Press becomes henceforth merged." THE NEW ROUSES OP PARLIAMENT. As Parliament is about to meet immediate for ly the "dispatch of business," the most active_mea sures are in progress to put everything in order be fore that important event arrives. Since the close of the last session the works in the interior have been carried on but to a very limited extent, owing to a determination on the part of the Chief Com missioner of Works to coneentrai.e all his energies +Ton the completion of the outward portion of the building, and especially the Victoria and Clock Towers. In pleasing contrast, however, with other portions of this magnificent building, the handsome portico erected over the Lords' Entrance is entirely finished. A few yards from it a stone bench has been laid down for the cmvenience of peers to dis mount who may come down to the house on horseback ; between it and the entrance a hand some carriage-way has been constructed, and over the portico four magnificent lamps, handsomely gilt, are now being placed. No other e'x' erior de coration appears to be requ'red, or indeed in con templation, while the same inantiti y prevails in the interior of this portion of the building. The Queen's robing room, in which it was proposed to place some beautiful frescoes, remains as it was last ses sion ; and that of the peers, where similar decora tions, - though on a less magnificent scale, were contemplated, is still unchanged. The only alteration made is the conversion of the space, where the reporters' gallery formerly stood, into one of those pigeon-holes for which the entire building is so celebrated ; but to what use it may be appropriated remains a mystery. The room occupied by the reporters at the end of the last session is will in the hands of workmen, with a view to make it as comfortable and convenient as possi ble. These are the only alterations made in their lordships' portion of the Palace of Westminster, except a few more going on in the royal gallery, which suggests the belief that Parliament is about to be opened by her Majesty in person. The other side of the building affords a fine opportunity to ad mire the vastness of the hall itself, willi the beauti ful stained glass window at the upper end, aid the graceful chandeliers which light it up so brilliantly at night. The Hall of Statues remains precisely as it was. A slight movement has, however, occurred 4s regards the frescoes intended to adorn this lo mality of the palace. It must have struck the spec tator with wonder on entering the Hall of Statues, and passing through St. Stephen's Hall, to witness the number of compartments appropriated for these b eau tiful decorations, and yet for years they have remained so, for with theexception of the " Depar ture 4 , , f the Mayflower," in the passage to theright at th e e utrance to the House of Lords, not one has been exec.,ited. We except those long since placed in the upp e _r hall, leading to the long corridor. On the left, inthe' entrance to the lobby of the House of Commons, a IL •ovement in this direction has at last taken place ; -cvo frescoes are just completed in this passage, of th. s artistic merits of whic h, how ever, it is impossib. le to pronounce an opinion, in asmuch as the artist N.`ill not allow any one to exa- LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1857.

WOLVERHAMPTON AN, STAFFORDSHIRE BANK. ..-.__..„„ .,,....- WOLVERHAMPTON, Monday Evening. A meeting of the shareho!&rs in this bank was held this morning, at the Swan Hotel ; Mr. A. Hordern, the•chairnian of the board of directors, presided. _ _ - In the course of Friday and Saturday several meetings, both of shareholders and depositors, have been held ; at the form. r, the prevalent feeling has been that the directors should them- selves raise a large sum of money (say 2)0,0000, and that the eo-operation of the other parties in terested should be so far obtained, that the business of the bank might be at once resumed ; this plan being the most deiirable for the interests of all ,a► ties. The energetic measures taken by the shareholders and other creditors, appears to have stimulated the board of direction to action ; Mr. Hill, the late manager, was calle 1 in to advise ; and the result was that late da. Saturday night a report was issued. That report was read at the meeting to-day by Mr. BRISCOE, the deputy-chairman, after a few ob servations formally opening the business hid been made by the chairman, whose remarks were, how ever, inaudible. Mr. BRISCOE said that since the report had been issued the directors had further considered the state of affairs, and that they had resolved themselves to lend 100,0001., iwit i pat of the 50,0001. named in _ the report. Mr. DIXON said he presumed they m 7 ght take it for granted that the figures in the report were correct. Mr. HILL, the late manager, said that he had gone over the matter as carefully as ho could in the time ; the figures as to the balances he had taken from the clerks, but that ha had himself looked through the bills, and he believed that the esiimate of their value was not over-rated. He thought it not improbable that they would turn out of greater value than had been put down, but very much would depend on the circumstances under which they were got in. , Mr. DIXON thought that the committee of share holders to lu appointed should confer with the committee of creditors. The best thing was for all parties to work together. As for recrimination, it would be the worst thing that could happen. Mr. JOHN LEIGH, stipendiary magistrate for the division, moved the first resolution. The first question to be decided was whether the bank was to be wound up, or whether they were to go on. (Cries of "Go on.") if the latter, it must be by the good feeling and co-operation of all parties. Directors, shareholders, and creditors must all work. together ; if that took place, the mischief would be very greatly lessened. No doubt they were much at the mercy of the credi tors ; if they were disposed to forbear, it was the duty of the shareholders to show that there was a reasonable prospect of their resumin g business and going on satisfactorily. (Hear.) He had seen many of the creditors, and he believed that there was a general disposition amongst the most impor tant ones to meet the difficulty in a fair and liberal spirit ; if there was a wind up there would not only be expense and delay, but a great deal of mischief to all parties. Mr. Leigh concluded by moving the following resolution : "That this meeting approves of the proposal of the directors to carry on the bank according to the scheme submitted ; and is willing to pledge itself to carry it out sugject to the modi fication and approval of a coinmitee of shareholders ; and in learning the intentions and feelings of tbe creditors." Mr. T. BOLTON, in seconding the resolution, said it was framed on the principle that the shareholders were disposed to co-operate for the purpose of car rying on the bank. If they had a call of 51. a share, he hoped not only to get it paid up, but that they would get another Si. voluntarily paid up by mAny of the shareholders upon a reasonable rate of in terest. Mr. Bolton retnarked on the evils and ex pense which would attend a wind up, He was not disposed (he said) to recommend it under the Regis tration Act ; and under the Bankruptcy Act it would be by an assignee, who was ill-fitted to ad minster the affairs of such an estate without great loss. (Hear, hear.) Being in the position they were, he called upon the shareholders to meet the difficulty manfully ; not to shirk the responsibility they had incurred to their creditors, even if ruin were the consequence. The resolution as moved w.s carried unani mously. Mr. LEIGH then moved the following resolution : "That the following gentlemen be appointed a committee of shareholders, with power to add to their number, and with power to appoint a sub committee of such smaller number of their mem bers as they think fit to act with the directors : Mr. W. H. Sparrow, Mr. Bolton, Mr. Earl)) Mr. E. Dixon, Mr. Wood, Mr. Leigh, Mr. Hill, Mr. C. Elwell, Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Wynn." In moving this resolution, Mr7Leigh said it was not to be expected that the creditors should pledge themselves to any particular course of proceeding until ,the shareholders had taken some definite steps as to th e f u t ure course o f action. Ile had no doubt that th e s h are h o ld ers would make an im mediate call o f 5/. per share, and that many o f them would p a y ano th er 51. voluntatily. What ever was don e , h owever , m ust be done promptly, or it would be useless ; and to do it successfully some portion o f th e burthen must be borne by the depositors. Mr. E. DIXON seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. LEIGH then moved the following as the third and fourth resolutions Teat tLe directors take no step ef importance wit tout the concurrence of the sub-committee of share. hollers. " That the committee of shareholders have power to adopt the proposal of the directors without reporting to a general meei n Mr. important KETTLE g of eh neholderF." . eeorided the resolution, remarking on the difference between the first offer of the directors to raise 50,0001., and their present proposal to raise 100,0001. He hoped that no difficulty would arise in the way of ad justing matters, and that the bank would again be re-open ed. Mr. LEIGH repeated that in his opinion every thing dependedthe upon the forbearance of cre ditors. Mr. WOOD suggested that a voluntary amount should be rais e d as a guarantee fund, which might continue for two years. Nr. BOLTON hrran emarked that, pending the carry ing out gements, care should be taken not to allow actions to be proceeded with against the bank without tll consent of the shareholders. The resolution was then put and carried, as was also the following "Tbat this meeting. is glad to find that a temporary committee of depositors and cre,iitors have been ap pointed to confer with the elect directors, and trusts that the meeting to - m orrow permanent committee to we resolution." act in tee spirit of the ab The meeting then of adjourned until 5 o'clock, in order that a meeting the committee might in I the meanwhile be held. The proc:,edings had been of a most satisfactory c h a r a cter throughout ; n et utmost unanin ity pre vails amongst the shareholders, and it is believed that the forbearance and A co-operation of the cre ditors will be obtained. call upon the share holders just now will be a peculiarly burthensome, many and no doubt there are 'flatters y parties who would be unable to pay it ; but as _latters stand it is felt for i that it would be the b est this kind should be made, and the bank b e re-o p en edfor business immediately. In the event of the proposed arrangements being is carr ied into operation, itmost likely the small depositors will be paid off immediately, and that ss. in the pound w ill be p aid once to the other cre ditors. The adjourned meeting of the shareholders took place this afternoon, but was further adjourned until af..er the meeting of the creditors to-morrow, as upon the resolve of that body very much depends as to the future. The directors have, it is t understood, made a call of Si. per sha re, payable by th e 27th of February. In the even t of the bankb e eing ro opened and carried on as contemplated, the share registry is to be closed for two years. OXFORD ELECTION EXPENSES.—At; abstract of the expenses incurred by Mr. Card well and Mr. Thackeray at the last election for the City of Oxford has just been published by Mr. G. P. Hest( r ) ejection auditor, from which it appears that the total of Mr. Cardwell's ex penses was 785 1 . 11e. 11 1 ., and that of Mr. Tbackeray's 831/. 17s. 9d , the latter having spent 451. 5s . 10d. more than his competitor, and lost the seat into the bar gain. RUSSIAN RAILWAYS —Oar readers know that the great Ru•sian railway scheme, of 40 millions sterling for railways, failed to float in our and most of the C Arlen• tal markets. To drive the Eu3sians into it the Go /en • ment has reduced the rate of interest, 4 per cent., al lowed by the bank to 3, whilst it guarantees 5 per cent. to the railways. We suppose this is a milder inducement the n to say " Subscribe or go to Siberia," for which there is never wanting a pretext against an intractable subject,-21frapath. NAVAL AND 1111LITARY iNTELLIGEN6T, Reinforcements for the 94th Regiment in India. to the number of 42.n0n-commissioned-officers and men, are ordered to proceed from the depot of that corps at Chatham garrison, and embark at Wool wich on board the steamer Leopold, for Kurrachee. A large party of the 50 0 recruits n ow bein g raised at Sheffield have arrived at Brompton Bar racks, Chatham, and joined the depot companies of the 98th Regiment, the head-quarters of which are serving in India. It is intended that the whole of the recruits raised at Sheffield shall be attached to the 98th Regiment. The Heron, 12, Commander W. H. Truscott, left Chatham yesterday afternoon in tow of the Adder steamer, for Sheerness, whence she will sail for the West Coast of Africa. The Racoon, 22, screw steam-coive te, is ordered to be commissioned at Chatham by Capt. J. A. Paynter, late of the Brilliant, 20. A court-martial, comprising Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., of the Blenheim, president ; Captains H. Eyree C. 8., of the St. Vincent ; G. H. Seymour, C. 8., of the Victory ; R. Harris, of the Illustrious ; W. Muorsom, C. 8., of the Dia dem ; W. Crispin, additional of the Victoria and Albeit ; and Mr. W. J. Hellyre, deputy-judge advocate of the fleet, assembled yesterday morning on board the St. Vincent, in Portsmouth Harbour, to try Mr. Hugo Beaumont Burnaby, First Lieu tenant of 11. M. ship Juno, on the following charges " 1. For having, on the 27th of March, 1856, behaved himself with contempt.towards Captain S. C. Fremantle, his commanding officer, by perform ing an impertinent and provoking action sf,er re ceiving from his commanding officer instruction' relative to certain visitors then on board the said ship, and by procrastinating the departure of the said visitors, he having been previously warned and perfectly aware of his commanding officer's anxiety to have the ship cleared of strangers and prepared for the duties of the following morning. "2. For having, on or about the 2d of June, 1856, behaved himself with disrespect towards his commanding officer by going into his cabin with a frivolous grievance, and attempting to enter iuto altercatit.n with and to criticize the couclact of bit commanding officer in a manner unbecoming a junior officer,with reference to a painted handker chief, and to his own duties as senior lieutenant of the ship. "3. For having, on or aboutthellth of January, 1857, behaved in a manner unbecoming the charac ter of an officer by breaking his parole. "4. For having, on or about the 15 de of January, acted in violation of the general printed instruc tions and the custom of the service by forwarding to hie commanding officer a remonstrance upon un justifiable grounds, addressed to the Commander in-Chief in a covering letter unnecessarily hasty and dictatorial." The prisonerwas assisted in his defence by Messrs. James and Edward Hoskins, of Gosport. The evidence for the prosecution was not con cluded when our report left. We learn by electric telegraph from Plymouth that the hired screw steamer Austria, Capt. Heydt mane, anchored near the Mewstone,, five miles south of the Breakwater, early yesterday morning. She left for Kurracbee, with the 94th Regt., under command of Col. Mills, on Monday, Oct. 5, re ceived damage in the Bay of Biscay, and put back to Plymouth on Saturday, the 10th. After repair ing she sail d again on Saturday, Nov. 14, and on Monday morning, at half-past 3, when 400 miles to the westward, she broke the crank of her engine, which drove the piston through the cylinder and completely disabled t'i.e machinery ; her propeller became fixed, and she would not answer her helm ; light winds prevailed, and seven days were occu pied in returning to the Mewstone, where she was compelled to remain unit two Government steam tugs went t o her relief. The troops are to be landed. Captain James J. M'Cleverty (1848), C. 8., who commanded the Terrible, 22, paddle steam-frigate, in the attack r.t Odessa, and in the operations against the Russians in the Black Sea, and Cwt. Fred. D. Montresor (1851), who was promoted for coast of Africa service, have been appointed to the commands—the former to the Cambrian, 40, at Devonport. The Hong Kong Register states that blank commander's commission was sent out to the com mand, r-in -chief, Sir M. Seymour, to bs given to one of the lieutenants who commanded a gunboat in the late affairs wi h the Chinese, and that the admiral conferred it upon Lieut. R. Hamilton (1851), who commanded the Haughty. Commander William Wilkinson, whose death has been announced, was the senior of the masters promoted to the retired rank of commander. By his death a vacancy occurs for the promotion of an eligible master to the 12s. 61. per diem list of re tired commanders. Lieut. Keith Stewart (1855), in command of the Plover, screw gun-boat, at Hong Kong, died on the 4th September. Assistant-Surgeon Dr. William Ray (1851), of the Acuson, surveying vessel, died at Hong Kong Sept. 3. A China paper states as a current report " that the powerful French fleet now present in these seas has been placed under the command of our worthy admiral, Sir Michael Seymour. A leader more gallant and yet more wary they could not desire." The claim of the owner of the schooner, Mary Aune, Bourchier, of Rochester, fur damage sus tained by collision with the screw line of-battle ship Renown, off the Garrison-point, has been com promised with the Admiralty for 1751., which has been paid by the Admiralty solicitor, in full. of all demands. A concert took place on Saturday in the carriage department of Woolwich Arsenal, which was at tended by upwards of 3,000 persons, the clear pro ceeds of which amounted to nearly 2001., and are intended in aid of the fund for the reliet of the wives and - families of the soldiers of the garrison who have left for India. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : Lieutenants—T. Stackhouse, to the Ardent ;A. J. Chatfield, to the Alacrity ; R. Adams, to the Cambrian; H. Dunlop, to ditto ; J. D. Hopkins, to the Racoon ; F. R. Blackburne, to ditto. Surgeons—G. F. Banks, to the Alacrity; P. D. J. Durgan (additional), to the C,)rnwalli4. MILITIA. The 2d Regiment of the Warwickshire will leave Leamington this mornin g for Aldershot. The regiment is about 80 0 strong. The Shropshire Militia, numbering 650 rank and file, and 1i) officers, under the command ofLieu`.- Col. F. Hill, left Shrewsbury yesterday for Dublin, where it is intended 'ley shall perform garrison duty. The regiment is a very fine one, and many thousands assembled at the railway station to wit ness their departure. They were preceded to the station by the baud of the South Shropshire Ca valry. The regiment proceeded to Birkenhead in two special trains, and embarked for Dublin in the evening. The depot remaining at Shrewsbury con sists of 1 lieutenant, 2 sergeants, 1 corporal, and 60 privates, under the command of Capt. Pechell. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. The sale of Mr. Jackson's horses attracted a large number of persons to the " Corner." This, too, being the last settling day of the season, bookmakers assembled in great force, in the hope of collecting some outstanding accounts. Attention was divided between the sale yard and the subscription room, but the proceedings of the auctioneer evidently excited more interest than those connected with coining events. Tha betting was prin cipally in small sums, and for the most part the prices given below must be deemed merely nominal, TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 100 to 15 agst Brother to Marchioness (taken) 7to 1 agst Clydesdale Bto 1 iigst Lord of Lorn - 9 to 1 agst Happy Land DERBY. 13 to 1 Apt Clydesdale 14 to 1 agst Toxophilite 18 to 1 agat Kelpie 25 to 1 agst DM) 25 to 1 agat Vandyke 28 to 1 agat Happy Land 50 to 1 agst Coxvvold 50 to 1 agst Physician 50 to 1 agst Grand Secret Offers to give 10 agst the field.

The sale yard was fully attended, but the crowd consisted more of those persons whom the fame of some of the animals to be sold had brought to gether than of people who had come with the determi nation of doing business. Saunterer excited much curiosity, and was ultimately knocked down to Mr. Blenkircn for 2,150 guineas. It is likely, however, that he will not be delivered up until the close of his racing career, when he will be used for stud purposes. Indeed, it is questionable whether a bona fide sale was effected. Magnifier, who was much talked about La connection with the last Derby " Bullock to ride," was sold for .45 guineas ; Precious Stone by Touchstone—Perfection's dam brought 500 guineas, the exact price which Mr. Jackson gave for her at,Don caster in Sept. last ; Brother to Flyaway was trans ferred for 450 guineas.

Five were taken to the Isifirmatl, two of whom are not expected to recover. Two persons are still missing. The mill is situated be tween the canal and the river Coln?. The work people had returned from dinner, and were waiting for the steam to he got up, when the boiler burst. The boiler was a single tube Cornish one, 8 or 9 yards long and 7 feet in diameter. It burst into fragments, which were scattered in opposite directions, completely destroying the building in which it was placed, which was three stories high. Nearly one-half of the boiler was thrown into Mitchell's dyehouse-yard, a distance of 20 yards, an•l another piece made a deep dint in an engine boiler there, but, fortunately, did not break it. Two dead bodies of women were thrown into the doorway of the dye-house so mutilated that they could not be identified. The cause of the explosion is supposed to be over-pressure in getting up steam to commence work. THE LATE GENERAL NEILL.-At a meeting of the Commissioners of Supply of the county of Ayr the chair man, Col. J. Ferrier Hamilton, called atteetion to the lamented death of one of their number, General Neill. Sir James Fergusson, of Kilkerran, proposed, and Mr. James Campbell, of Craigie, seconded, the following re solution, which was unanimously agreed to—" That the Commissioners of Supply desire to record the regret and sorrow . which they have felt in hearing of the death of the late General Neill, and their deep sense of the loss the country at large has sustained in the untimely end of that gallant general's career, who during the short period of his service in Beng:sl had contributed so largely by his energy, courage, and military sisal to the check which has been given to the revolt of the native army and to the brilliant achievements of the British forces and the loyal portion of the native army. That the chairman shall convey to the bereaved widow and mother of General Neill a copy of the foregoing resolution, in the hope that this expres,ioa of sympathy, combined with the recollection of his glorious death and the uni versal admiration of his great qualities and services, may afford to them some consolation under their deplcrable calamity." A meeting was held yesterday of creditors of Messrs. Wilson, Morgan, and Co., whe.lesale stationers, whose suspension was announced en the 12th inst., when a statement was submitted by Mr. Chatteris, the accoun tant, showing a deficiency of 16,1301., the liabilities being 25,6291., and the estimated assets 9,4991.

RAILWAY TRAVELLING IN CANADA. His Excellency the Governor-General, on the arrival of the Indian in port, having expressed a wish to proceed from Q uebec to Montreal, and thence to Toronto, by Grand Trunk Railway, ar rangement's were i m mediately made by Mr, Bidder, general manager of the company, to place at the disposal of His Excellency a special train to convey him and suite trAn Quebec to Toronto. The journey, a distance of 500 miles, was performed in 15 hours, but as two hours and a half must be de- I ducted for stoppages, including an hour for dinner at Kingston, the running timers thereby le - in ced to twelve and a half hours, —making the rate of speed 40 miles an hour for twelve consecutive houri. Such running being managed on a single line of rails, and without, as we are informed, interfering in any way wish the ordinary trains, reflects not only the greatest credit on the officers generally and their efficient management, but also affords very conclusive proof that the construction of the road must be of first rate character to warrant such high speed for a continuous journey of 500 miles. Comparing this journey of His Excellency with the locomotion of only a few years back, by which at least a fortnight would have been occupied in ' the transit between Quebec and Toronto, the Pro vince has r3ason to be proud of their great national r ailroad, " a noble enterprise," as the Hon. Mr. Cayley has characterised it, "so internally blended with the hopes of Canada, that it grows with its growth and strengthens with its strength, and is destined yet to achieve the proudest success with the increasing prosperity of the province." His Excellency was pleased to express his grati fication at the very expeditious manner in which the journey had been performed,--Cast divot way Guide. INDIAN I M PEOVEMENTE.

But there ir f` iosser;and yet most important, subjects which w I. also hair° to be taken into consideration witho,ct a moment's unne.2e-.sary delay. One of these i i fir! establish inent of direct communication with India by -steam and telegraph, and the extension (.1 the sygem throughout our Eastern-dominions. We hav r e no hesitation in saying that of all the q . uttions to be debated after the repair of our fitiaucill fabric at home, and the restoration of our i,z7thority iii the revolted provinces of India, this is t e one !that demands - the promptest determination of Parlia ment. Had the electric telegraph b !wet n Etiamd and Hindostan been perfected, and, had the direct lines of railway arid steam-boat c-oarnunication be tween us and our Oriental domitiieis---dnes which have been projected and proved to t e not merely practicable but peculiarly easy of execation—been constructed and in working order, what treasures would have been saved, what precio is lives would have been spared, what agonies of suspense would have been prevented, ' what discredit to our raili tary organisation and prestige would have :been avoided ! Every well-wisher of the Crown in India, ‘ every person in England who thinks for a moment on the subjeA, deplores the want of rapid direct railway and steamvessel transit, and of unbroken telegraphic communication between the seat of Im pedal government and the region of rebellion as a dire misfortune, the extent of which it is impossible to estimate. Let the Btitish public imagine how different would have been the course of events dur ing five mournful and humiliating, and, notWith standieg all ourvictories,disastrous months, had we an electric messenger to fla-h intelligence backward and forward from day to day, and had the Euphra tes Valley and the Scinde and Punjaub railways, with their connecting links and ramifications, been in full operation. Time was our greatest enemy ; to overcome time, not the sepoys, was our chief difficulty. But we had neglected the arts and left unwrought the implements by which time is con quered and made subservient to empire, and hence our grievous losses, our sore afflicions, our waste of wealth, of character, and of human life. The chances are that had the te'egraph been unbroken, and the means of rapidly transmitting troops by a direct roate been in existence, the mint try revolt which has rendered India desolate and shocking to humanity would never have been attempted. But however that be, it must now be impressed on all thinking men that one of the first works necessary for the future security and maintenance of our power in India is the construction of a network of railways and telegraphs throughout that country, and the establishment of a direct transit by rail and steamboat, and of telegraph wires between the Ganges, the Indus, and the Thames. When we consider that troops take 24 days, even with forced mita:hes, to get over the distance that they could accomplish by rail in 12 or 18 houra,'we can easily comprehend, what has been over' and over again asserted by those competent to give an opinion on the point, that 10,000 soldiers having -the com mand of railway transit are fully equal in India to three times that number with the existing means of conveyance. Economists should weigh well that fact, and during the forthcoming discussions bear in mind that bloodless prevention is better than sanguinary cure, and that the cost of con structing lines of rail and telegraph is small in com parison to the annual charge of maintaining standing armies three times as numerous as need be. That a well-appointed British army fresh from England might have been at Lahore a month ft a oe f i t l .e e tg r r h .ea t p h ti e rlabn b e: r i e nt a olcfintgroooput instantaneous, c o a ft the tn bdmehuadtdoi doubted.' a route h d a . ‘ d T t bl The the the Euphrates Valley and Scinde been available rebellion would have been crushed in its infancy before it had time to grow into formidable propor tions, if, indeed, it ever would have dared to . show its head at all, and it would hs.vo been crushed at a fifth part of the expense which its suppression will now entail. But the mi.chief done is past recal ; the neglect committed is beyond revocation. We have paid clearly for our disregard of the most obvious means of multiplying our strength—of imparting to our power a three-fold force—of wielding our arms with a five-fold velocity. It is, however, never too late to mend, and history tells us that it is the invariable prsctice of the Anoo-Saxon race out of the nettle " Danger," to pluck the flower " Safety." We therefore hope and antic pate that the British Path invent will immediately and ear nestly take into consideration the necessity of for warding by all legitimate means the cousi ruction of those lines of rail and telegraph which are wanted to connect Central Asia with Europe. The reduc- Von of the route by a thousand miles of actual road to be traversed, and the establishment cf means of transporting trool.s, munitions of war, and baggage without limit, and in a fourth or fifth cf the time now required, and the perfection of ir.struments capable of transmitting intelligence and orders al mo-t instantaneously, are surely objects of gnat ,national importance which the national represen tatives cannot overlook for a single day without failing in their duty to their consttuents, and with out culpable neglect of the dearest interests of their country. TEt E LEVIATHAN. The following letter has been addressed to a con temporary Sir,—Allow me to suggest, through your valu able paper, what seems to me, as an engineer, a simple means at all events of assisting to get the Great Eastern steam-ship into the water. What I would prapoie is, to take advantage of the rise and fall of the tide. I would place a num ber of, say coal ba , ges, side by side with their bows towards the vessel ; the barges I would load with iron or other heavy material, to the full extent of flotation ; end then, having erected a framework carrying rollers above the barges and butting on the shore, or on piles driven into the river. I would attach numerous chains to the cradles on which the ship now rests, and lead them over the rollers or drums, awl attach their to the barges. The effect will be this—As the tide Ilse. tle loaded barges,, with many thousand tons in them, if re quired, will rise also, and the slack of the chains being taken up on the tide receding, a pulling ac tion will he brought to bear on the cradles and great ship in the direction of tly3 river, by the lowering of the barges and direction of the chains with au im mense power, and while this action is going on let the hydraulic pressure be applied as already ar ranged, on the other side of the vessel or cradles, and I believe the mighty vessel will reach the water in safety. Of course, should the vessel sho'w any tendency to run off when once it is started, the check gear is ready, and should it be wished to let her down slowly, the same means or the action of the tide may be again and again used. I have no. enierel into any details, as, if any plan of this nature be adopted, the names of Brunel, John Scott Russell, &c., are a sufficient guarantee for the full carrying out of such plans. • , Your giving this roam in your columns will oblige, yours, &c., GSORGE NAMYTH, C.E. 161, The Terrace, Kennington-park , Kennington, Nov. 23. THE THOMOND ESTATE.—The proposals made b y pri vate contract for the purhh ase o f the great majority of the lots of the Thomond estates in Clare and Cork were submitted to the Commissioners onMend e ay and accepted.. The total amount realised by the ached 131,400/. Chief Justice Blackbur.ne was a . purchaser to the extent of 15,0001. The remaining portion of the property will will be sold publicly in the course of the ensuing month. The general business of the port of London : has not been very a ctive during the past week, owing cliiefly to the easterly wind which has so long prevailed and pre vented vessels working up the Channel. The nu nber of vessels reported inward was 172, including 39 with car goes of corn, fl o ur, &c. Th ere were a l so two vessels from China with 18,458 packages of tea and 3,195 tales of silk. 1,276 chests of tea have, in addition, been re ceived from New York. The number of. ships cleared outward was 102, including 14 in ballast; and the JAM• ber on the berth for the Australian colonies is 62.
