Tations and engagements within such limits, from time to time, as may appear best calculated to relieve the shareholders from inconvenience in regard to the payment of calls upon their shares. The accounts showed that 13 4871. had been received, and 9,9541. expended, leaving a balance of 3,533/. The CHAIRMAN then moved, and Mr. W. CLAXTON seconded the adoption of the report. Mr RUMSEY said, it appeared to him, from what be had both heard and seen, that it would be advisable to abandon the line altogether ; as he thought there were very few prospects of its success for the share holders. He would, therefore, move that the under taking be abandoned, or, as he must technically ex press it, that the report be not adopted. Mr. Fuazi seconded the amendment. After some conversation the amendmen i t was put and lost, only one hand bein g held up for t. The original motion was then carried u nanimously. A vote of thanks was p assed to the directors, and the meeting separated. Dedicated by permission to her Majesty. NOW READY, I A IVES OF M E Q UEENS. By AGNES STRICKLAND.

LON )ON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 31, 1847. The intelligence just received by the Overland 1 Mail, from Bombay, consists, for the most part, of a Recession of cruelties and brutalities perpetrated by Asiatic barbarians. What is wanting in political importance is made up in individual atrocities. In the Punjaub, for example, the diabolical conspiracy which has been so long and so repeatedly spoken of, was being unravelled ; and although most of the pre ceding conjectures appear to have been gross exagge rations, the chief conspirator PREMA has revealed many facts of a diabolical character, in which even the RANEE is said to have been implicated. At Caubul it would seem that a sanguinary encounter had taken place between the Caubalees and the Kuz zilbashes ; and the ground seems to have been plen tifully fattened by the blood shed in their dissen sions. At Sinde a party of Thugs—stranglers and poisoners by profession—had been incarcerated. At Nepaul, the old Raja had been deposed by JUNG BAHADOOR, in consequence of an intercepted letter from his Highness to KATM tNDOO, accusing the Minister of continual and systematic depravities. At Oude the Sovereign was relapsing into a brutish in dulgence of his appetites ; his Minister, the Wuzeer, was reviving from the attempt at assassination; while the cut-throats, who endeavoured to effect his de struction, continued in a state of lingering torment for the expiation of their brutalities. At Goomsoor the disturbances were increasing instead of abating, and the prospects of slaughter were being realised. CHuKRA BISSATE, after cajoling Colonel CAMPBELL, had assailed the Sebundie pest near Posera, and obliged the inhabitants to demand the immediate aid of reinforcements. In the do minions of the N !ZAN the pecuniary dif ficulties are rendered a matter of secondary consideration by the recurrence of deeds of a more terrible and threatening nature. According to the last information received from those territories, the lohillas bad m us t ere d i n cons id era bl e numbers, and, eturning towards the city, had encamp ed some three miles from the canto nmen t. Here t hey were for mally visited by lIUSSUZi 1Z -00 D- DEN liHAN ' w ho "'lain in a sudden and terrific eatee. TO RA BAZ relative of the principal assailant of this persona g e, and a j ema dar of the Rohillas, had been, i n a-e ' conse quence of this outbrea k, nearl y blud g eone d into the other world, while his followers continued in a state of sullen excitement the exacerbation, as it may be termed, of the epidemic of sedition. Be 3 o nd these revolting occurrences, there is a de tailed account, in the dispatches which have arrived from Bombay, .of a trial before Sir ERSKINE PERRY, of a man named BooLooK SARAIVIIN, for the wilful murder of his sister-in-law. The circumstances of this crime are of a nature so superhuman in guilt, as to cast the deeds committed by TAweLi., GOOD, and GREENAC RE into the shade by comparison. Such is a rapid summary of the infamous proceedings narrated in the inform a ti on rece i ve d from our Oriental possessions and dependencies. The absence of anything of any remarkable kind in regard to the consolidation of our Indian Government, or to the pacification of the adjoinin; principalities, is more than compen sated, as far as interest is concerned, by jo y s na t h n e (fi s e b nt atrocious eheris reve lations. Appalling a s are th e v i que which pollute the lands of civiliz ed they are wh en contrasted wit h the blessings 7 m i g ht be anticipated f rom the diffusion know ledgeof an d the enforcement of reli g ious p rin ciples, wnthie ash they are as nothi n g when compared with the whole sale enormities by which the magnificent territories of Asia are profaned and that atmosphere of guilt is produced which its population is ever respiring. These reflections should only enhance the exulta tion of every well-wisher of the human family at the remembrance of our footing upon the eastern continent. They should inspire us with sen timents of satisfaction frxn the reflection that civili zationnd Christianity must march onwards from Hindoostan, and ultimately produce an emollient and humanizing influence upon the idolatrous races of the more remote countries of the globe. For these reasons, as well as from motives of a pecuniary and commercial character, it i s that we ha v e con ti nu ally enforced the nec ess i ty o f the retenti ono of the superb w province conquered by the pr the vigilant sagacity of its Governor,ess and guarded by C ti ARLES NATIER. Now that the solicitude to allow Sir Sinde t o o pail from our Alltbcority, if not from our protection, seems to b e , disappearing, it becomes a question of peculiar int. vest to consider the most . rational as well as the most econo mical means of turning the re sources of that country to our advan tage. Above a.ll, the nefarious achievements of such men as DOONGUIr SINGH must be prevented, other with which he gallpped away w ise the impunity with tha Government treasure of 27,000 rupees at Nusseerabad.may encourage him to atte npt the pe riodical seizure of our local revenues. That those revenues must accumulate and multiply with an ordi• na ry amount of prudence and precaution is certain from the signs of. their advancement, even under the present arrangement. The statistics furnished in the Indian newspapers of the increase that has taken place both in the exports and imports of Sinde since its first occupation, show the advisability of some more sagacious course being adopted by the Anglo-Indian Government whereby the policy of Sir CHARLES NAPIER may be carried into operation and the original intention of his Ex cellency be fully realised. The clouds are clearing away from the horizon of Sin3e, and time will shortly testify that Sir CHARLES NAPIER has not merely added a brilliant chapter to our military records, but that he has opened a new and extraordinary channel for our commercial enterprise, besides affording a wider sphere for the dissemination of the advantages of civilisation, and of the infinite blessings of Chris tianity. It is gratifying to notice the progress and favour able prospects of well-selected railway lines in Ire land, from which the shareholders may fairly hope for a handsome and remunerating dividend on the amount of capital invested, and which will accelerate the social and commercial intercourse not only in the different parts of that country, but also with Eng land, will provide the farmer with a ready market for his produce, and thus tend to improvements in agricultural science and a better cultivation of the soil—results that have ever followed the increased traffic and facilities afforded by railway accommoda tion, and will, in every respect, further the develop ment of the industrial resources of the nation. How ever desirable the construction of railways in that country may be, great mischief would be occasioned by the indiscriminate support of every description of projects, of those which might be brought forward, not on account of the existing wants of the people, or for the purpose of permanent investment of capital, but in order that the shares might be sold at a premium on the Stock Exchange, and their promoters enabled to realise large profits without waiting for the legitimate returns of traffic. Ireland is as :set comparatively neglected as to rail ways, and great trunk lines remain to be constructed which must yield a handsome profit to the proprietors. It is morally certain that such lines will be formed in due time, and that we shall eventually see the sister kingdom covered with an iron network spreading through every part of the land, and proportioned to the increase of prosperity and civilization, which we doubt not a few years will bring forth. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that Government during the psat session, while they wisely refused their sanction to the wild scheme of he Protectionist leader, by which 1(3,000,000/. ster ling was to be advanc. d to Irish railways, in the pro portion of two pounds for every one provided by the shareholders, yet decided on placing an additional sum at the disposal of the Exchequer Bill Loan Commissioners for the purpose of being advanced to three companies, who had afforded evidence of the soundness of their undertakings, of the sufficiency of the security they were enabled to offer for the re payment of the several loans, and of the national benefits that would accrue from the speedy complt• tion thereof. Such fostering aid had the most fit• vourable effect ; the greatest activity was displayed by the directors and managers to show themselves worthy of the favours thus accorded, and the works have been proceeded with steadily and efficiently. The Great Southern and Western Railway of Ire land received, or are to receive, by far the greater portion of that advance. It would be difficult to enumerate the many advantages of this magnificent project. When perfected, it will be par excellence the great trunk line of Ireland, connecting the two chief cities—Dublin and Cork ; it will form the chief channel of communication between the capital and the southern provinces. The rich and abundant pro ducts of the several counties can, by its means, be readily conveyed to the metropolis, and they may in return receive the various articles of merchandise im ported from other climes ; in fact, what the London and North-Western Railway is in this country the Great Southern and Western will be in Ireland. The Irish Government have duly appreciated its importance and the excellence of its management, and in addition to the valuable assistance rendered by the advance of half a million sterling, his Excel lency the Lord-Lieutenant paid its directors the high compliment of inspecting the progress of the works, and accepting their hospitality. On Friday the Earl of CLARENDON, accompanied by the Chief Secretary for Ireland and a distinguished party, went over the portion of the line now opened to the public, the traffic on which is already very considerable, affording an ample security for the Government loan. The impressions created by that journey may be con ceived from what subsequently fell from that en• lightened nobleman, when expressing his delight at " hosing passed through a beautiful country, teem ing with the products of the earth, and upon a line of railway that reflected credit on the energy and en terprise of the company." He stated " that at home or abroad he had never seen so beautiful a line of railway—one which exhibited in its construction so rare a combination of science and art." This feeling was participated in by all, and the Chief Secretary added that he only expressed the opinions of every gentle man who had accompanied his Excellency, in saying that the Great Southern and Western Railway, for safety !IA good management, was not surpassed by any other line in existence. Compliments such as these, proceeding from such influential sources, must indeed be satisfactory not only to the directors, but to every person in any degree interested in the undertaking. They also prove how judiciously the Ministry acted in rendering such effectual as sistance—assistance which must materially hasten the period when the public will reap all the benefits of the gigantic undertaking, and that without a particle of loss or risk to the Exchequer, the rate of per centage secured by the company, five per cent. per annum, being nearly one-third more than the actual interest payable on that sum by the nation. The progress of the other lines assisted The Wat er f or d and Lairme eri e e q k ual ß ly eil w s a a y ti 7 sfa vv et h o i r e y h . by the G overnmen t c o an b d et w we es e t n on mm the u n i e c a a s t t e s o t f wo the of is t l h a e nd p , ri h n a c s ipa a l ffo p r o d r e t d s a considerable quantity of employment to the la bourers in the several districts traversed by it. In one locality alone there are 800 men employed—the labourers, who usually earn Bd. or led. a day, receiving ls. 6d., while masons, stone-cutters, and others are proportionately paid. There is now 356,6001. ster ling paid up, and on the arrears (amounting to less than 20,0001.) being satisfied, the company will be in a position to borrow, if necessary or desirable, a quarter of a million sterling. The Dublin and Drogheda, which runs from the metropolis northward, and which forms the chief link in the great northern chain, had, notwithstanding the general distress and commercial depression exist ing in Ireland during the earlier part of this year, an increase of revenue on the half-year ending the 30th of June in the present year, over the cor responding period of 1846, from passengers, of 7041. 18s. 101, and on goods and passengers, of 1,090/. This company also have a ffi su cient portion of their line opened to aff ord ample security to the Ex chequer; indeed they have alrea dy repaid the Ex chequer-bill Loan Commissioners a sum exceeding that which they are now about to borrow. A letter from Leghorn, of the 23d of August, states that on the 221 an outbreak had taken the e by place in that city in consequence of the occ u p a ti on the Austrians. On that day the inhabitantso t Ferrara o r afr Lag Leg horn assembled in the great square loudly demanded the fo r ma t i on of a national guard. "d The people, after hea rin g an add ress from the G overnor, were dispersing quietly when they were charged by the Carbineers—a conflict ensued, in which the Carbineers were routed and disarmed. 'Die excitement in consequence became very great, and placards were posted 912 the walls, urging the people to demand a change of Ministry, and the en rolment of a corps of volunteers to march to the relief of Ferrara. A review of the 4th battalion of the National Guard of Rome took place on the 16th of August at the Villa Borghese ; cries of " Long live Pius LX.," " Long live Prince Boaonasa, " were raised by the troops. The highest of the Roman nobility were present on the occasion, and fraternised with the citizens. Letters from Bologna of the 21st say :—" The Papal Government is resolved to resist the Austrian invasion, and to oppose force by force. The troops are concentrating, and some are already in march for the frontier. Two companies of Swiss and artillery have already left this for Ferrara. They were loudly cheered by the people as they left, and saluted with cries of " Live Pius IX." A corps of Swiss is also marching from Romagna for Ferrara. The aversion of the people to the Swiss troops has greatly diminished siece these soldiers sent an address to the authorities offering to march against the Austrians. The number of Austrian troops in Ferrara has diminished, the greater portion of them having retired into the citadel. Nevertheless, reinforcements of the Imperial troops are constantly arriving in Padua and the other cities on the left bank of the Po. The greatest enthusiasm prevails throughout the country—the peasants are coming forward to be inscribed in the civic guards, and ask to be led against the Austrians. The retro grade party, whose stronghold is at Modena, are at their wits ends. They are endeavouring to organize a system of brigandage, and dispatch their emissaries with arms and ammunition to commit crimes throughout the country. The brigands have set fire to five farms of the Marquis of COSTABILI, a nobleman who is noted for his attachment to Pius IX., and to the cause of progress, and on whose property is estab- lished the head- quarters of the National Guard of Ferrara. Madrid journals of the 24th instant hare arrived. The arrival of NARVAEZ is the all-absorbing topic of comment in all of them. He is looked upon by the generality of Spaniards as the apostle of treason, anarchy, and bloodshed. In the meantime the Carlist movement is daily increasing in strength in Catalonia, and in Arragon and Saragossa a Carlist rising is hourly expected. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 24.—The Three per Cents. were done in Madrid, on tho 24th, at 27,1 for cash, and the Coupons, at 15; and the. Fire per Cents. at 17j for paper; and the Debt without Interest at 5-11. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The physicians who examined the body of the Duke of PRASLIN have reported that he died from poisoning by arsenic, and that as arsenic was found in the liver, it must have been taken some time before death ; they are of opinion that there were not two administrations of poison, and that the apparent con valescence of the Duke of PAASLIN on the Saturday and Sunday was " nothing but an aggravation of the phenomena of reaction of which the apparition may have simulated a favourable crisis" (dont l'apparition avail pu simuler une crise favorable). The report seems drawn up altogether in accordance with the Talleyrand theory of language, which lays it down as an axiom that words were given to man to enable him to disguise his thoughts. The Moniteur Parisien states officially that the Attorney-General has received from M. WARNEIIRY certain charges of corruption against officers con nected with the administration of affairs in Algeria, and had ordered a judicial investigation into the truth of those charges to be commenced. The trial of Messrs. GOBELEY and BEERIER the younger, charged with having embezzled large quan tities of corn from the Government stores, took place on Saturday, and terminated in the acquittal of the accused. • The price of flour in the Paris market continues to decline. Count ANATOLE DE MONTESQUIEU, a chevalier d'honneur of the QUEEN, a Peer of France, and ex aide-de-camp to NAPOLEON, committed suicide at Paris on Sunday. No reasons are given for this rash act. The number of failures in Paris during the last year was 1,139, and the aggregate amount of the deficit 68,474,803 francs. Eight of these failures were to the amount of 40,0001. and upwards. As compared with the previous year, there is an enor mous increase both in tue number and amount of the failures. In the previous year the number of the failures was 931, and the amount 48,342,529 francs. The Gazette des Tribunaux positively contradicts the statements which have been made that M. DE BEAUVALLON had been ordered for trial before the Court of Assizes for perjury, and that he had ap pealed to the Court of Cassation against the decision of the Chambre de Mises en Accusation. It states that the Chambre de Mises en Accusation has not yet come to any decision on his case. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de I'Opera on Sunday at 76f. 60c.

THE LATE FATAL STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION. INSPECTION OF THE WRECK.—(THIS DAY.) At twelve o'clock this morning, the jury, according to appointment made yesterday at the inquest, pro ceeded to view the shattered vessel and machinery of the Cricket steam-boat. The scene presented was of the most fearful nature, and none but those who had before witnessed sucha spectacle of ruin could for a mo ment have imagined the force and power of that mighty agent—steam. As to the causes which may have led to the fatal explosion,we, of course, will not pronounce an opinion. Competent persons will be appointed by the authorities, who will, as their duty to the public, to the company, and to Mr. Joyce, the builder and patentee of the engines, require, carefully examine, and investigate most fully, all the circumstances con nected with this most disastrous affair. The first sight which presents itself to the spectator is that of a fearful rent in the vessel from the engine -room to the stern. The whole of the flooring of the deck has been blown up, and the lining of the right side of the after cabin completely removed, leaving exposed the bare iron shell of the vessel. On the left side of the same cabin some portion of the lining yet remains ; but in the bilge of the vessel, and near to the paddles, the whole of the lining is gone, and the shell of the vessel broken and torn in almost every direction. The flooring of the cabin is also swept clean out, while an immense opening in the stern shows the spot through which the boiler itself was blown, the boiler in its progress appearing to have swept the floors, the lining, rudder, and everything before it. The whole of the case of the boiler is blown off, leav ing a ll t h e tu b es exposed to s i ght ; b ut there does not appear to a be any fracture in any of them, so f a r a t safety-valveh i e funnel, beside t_ hae smoke box, d wreckmokt he e - ho xst , he as e a d we boiler, steam-gauges se em to h ave been entirely blown away. Neither of th e p a ddl e - wheels seem to have sustained any injury : the outer side of the left paddle-box seems to have sustain e d a somewhat severe shock. A portion of the massive iron frame work to which the engine is attached is twisted in a most extraordinary manner. The thickness of the metal in that part cannot be less than four inches; but it appears to have been capable of affording no more resistance to the terrific power than did some of the common deal timbers with which it was surrounded. The massive cranks, with the pistons and cylinders, seem to be the only portions of the machinery which were suffi ciently strong to endure the shock, but the left crank is slightly bent. There is no doubt that this more solid part of the machinery tended, in some degree, to ensure the fore part of the vessel from that total destruction which has befallen the remaining portions. The boiler which exploded was the left boiler as the vessel now lies, but the course it appeared to have taken was an oblique one, as the right side of the cabin, through which it passed, is considerably more injured than the opposite. The opening made at the stern of the vessel appears to be also on the right side of the rudder. The whole floor of the engine-room is literally covered with fragments of the broken parts and the smaller and more delicate parts of the machinery. The jury re mained on the spot for about half an hour, during which time every facility was afforded by the servants of the company to enable them to view the various portions of the wreck. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUANTE!? TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, but entirely for the wants of .consumption Prioes were without alteration, although the accounts from Manchestt r were considered to be more favourable Shares improved again, and there appeared to be a gra dual restoration of confidence. 1 There are ship arrivals to-day from several parts, blot no news of general interest appears to be contained in the advices brought to hand. The election for Governor of the Bank of England, in the place of W. R. Robinson, Esq., disqualified, is 'KW/ proceeding, and no doubt James Morris, Esq., of th e rich firm of Morris, Prevo, and Co., will be played in this honourable post. We cannot learn that, up to the hour of one writing. any decision has been come to by Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., upon the important subject of the ac ceptance of Messrs. Prime Ward and Co.'s bills, but it is expected that it will be settled yea or nay some tit ee this afternoon. Probably, as the matter is of some im terest, we may be enabled to glee the result for ot tr country edition. The accounts received to-day from the East Indies ao not notice so much activity as usual at this season of the year in British textile fabrics, but money was rather more easy, and the accounts from Europe had chiefly operated in producing dulness rather than convulsion or excitement. The English Funds have been high again this morning, Consols having touched 874 4 for present transfer, and 884 4 for account. At the present time the rates are scarcely so good. The New Three• and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 89i to 4. Bank Stock is worth 195 to 197. Exchequer -bills have been 2s. to 68. prem. The Foreign Securities have been steady generally. Spanish Bonds are rather better. The Five per Cents. have realised 191 to 201-, and the Three per Cents. 30 to 1. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 25. Mexican Stock is worth 181 to 194. Grenada Bonds have been at 19. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 56. There is not much doing in railway shares, but the market looks firm upon the settlement in progress. This is account-day also in the Foreign Stock Market, where, however, the speculation recently entered into has been very limited. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS o'CLOCK. PRICES.

A composition had been offered, and it was said that most of the creditors had signed the consent. His HONOUR said that all the creditors might not agree, and no bankrupt had a right to suspend making out a balance sheet in order to supersede the fiat, or to force an adjournment. An adjournment was granted for three weeks, on the understanding that if the balance-sheet was not then filed the examination would be adjourned sine die, so that the bankrupt should come up at his own expense.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE BLUE DAHLIA SEEKERS. —A singular phenomenon, says a French paper, has shown itself in a greenhouse at Lyons. At the time when all the growers et camellias, roses, dahlias, &c., are puzzling themselves to get the blue colour, the only shade which nature has refused to these kinds of plants, chance has thrown a shade of azure blue upon the petals of flowers produced by one single branch of a camellia rout of the species imbricate rubra. This plant belong. to NI. Dagene. The interior petals of the flowers are of a delicate red, the superior are white, and both are united with blue.

AN les .MOUNTAIN.—De 'met, an English mis sionary, in writing to the Freeman's Journal from Oregon, says:—" Not far from the place of our encamp ment we found a new object of surprise and admiration. An immense mountain of pure ice, 1,500 feet high, in closed between two enormous rocks. So great is the transparency of this beautiful ice, that we can easily dis tinguish objects in it to the depth of more than six feet. One would say by its appearance, that in some sudden and extraordinary swell of the river, immense icebergs had been forced between these rucks, and had piled themselves on one another, so as to form this ma gn ifi cent glacier. From the base of this gigantic iceberg the river Trou takes its rise."—Mechanzcs' Magazine.

When, however, the editor attends the ceremony in propria persond, and kisses the bride, it will have special notice —very large type and the most appropriate poetry that can be begged, borrowed, stolen, or coined from the brain editorial.
