This, at least, should be the common agree- i ment of the householders and freeholders of the em pire, if they are solicitous to behold a Parliament fruitful in measures, and improvements, and inno vations for the advantage of themselves and their posterity. Exactly this kind of politician in ardour, in enthusiasm, in consistency, in perseverance, and in a natural and positive liking for , the The motto of his atmosphere of political tumult, is Mr. ROEBUCK . Parliamentary life, moreover, has been from first to last,'," Civil and Religious Liberty." Those, therefore, of the Bath constituency who are not pre-poisoned by the virus of bigotry and intolerance will not lightly abandon the advocate who has so long and earnestly laboured at St. Stephen's in the cause of progress and civilization. Satisfied as we are that the opinions of such a man as Mr. ROEBUCK moat be listened to with respect by his own personal electors, we are no less convinced that his opinions will weigh considerably with those citizens of the metropolis who are possessed of the elective franchise, and who are at the same time determined to give their votes to none other than the real friends and champions of the people. The speech in which the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Member for Bath reviewed the merits of the four Liberal candidates for the representation of London was candid, bold, and logical in its very abruptness. If there might be supposed to be any bias in the mind of Mr. ROEBUCK with reference to Lord J. RUSSELL as a political leader, one would expect it to be rather a bias averse than favourable to that eminent statesman. So, at least, the super ficial observer would calculate from the frequency with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S name has appeared in opposition to the measures of the Prime Minister. Differing, however, as the Member for Bath does upon many points with the Premier, what is the opinion expressed by him of the character of that Noble Lord ? " A more high-minded, straightfor ward, and honest man than Lord J. RUSSELL I do not know." That is surely a splendid panegyric. To how many Prime Ministers bygone would those three adjec tives apply besides Lord J. RUSSELL? To how many politicians ? To how many public characters ? And the Premier has not only earned such eulogiums for straightforwardness, highmindedness, and honesty by a long, active, and enterprising career as a reforming statesman ; he has done immeasurably more, he has preserved undiminished that ardour for the general good, that love of liberality, that passion for legisla tion, and that inflexible resolution to toil, and even to drudge, unceasingly in public business, which are the only true qualifications of the leader of a Government. If the electors of London, therefore, are desirous to be represented by a man who is capable of inhaling the atmosphere of political tumult, and who has ac tually a relish for it, they can have no hesitation whatever as to the acceptance or the rejection of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. His political creed, moreover, is pre cisely the same as when he last appeared before them on the hustings in Guildhall. He was there received with the enthusiasm due, not so much to the fact of his being the descendant of a patriotic race, as to that great fact of his Parliamentary life—his ardour in the cause of liberality. Let him and his colleagues be received with not one jot less of enthusiasm, for the same reason exists to•day as existed yesterday. Be sides, what can be expected from the opponents of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his brother candidates ? What can be expected from men, the beatings of whose hearts are for the reverse of the sublime prin ciples of civil and religious liberty ; of men who, in an age of " progression," are for a moral " stoppage " that would prove disastrous and destructive ; of men whose animosity to such practical measures as that of sanatory improvement damn them to everlasting fame as THE DIRTY POLITICIANS ? The long-expected proposition on behalf of the Spanish Government has at length been submitted to its duped and deluded creditors. The bantling pro duced after Mr. HENDERSON'S nine months' labour in Madrid, after his interviews with Spanish Ministers and diplomatists of various nations, as at length made its appearance, and truly a more striking illustration of the old fable has seldom been witnessed. " Montes parturiunt, nascitur ridiculus mus," may well be applied to the project extracted with so much difficulty from Senor SALAMANCA, and ushered in by his extravagant protestations as to his anxiety to restore Spanish credit, and to do all that is befitting, or can be looked for, from Spanish honour. Truly that honour must be of a very evanescent character if nothing better or more tan gible can be looked for at the hands of the nation. " Base is the slave that pays," said ancient PISTOL in the olden time, and that Shakesperian worthy appears to have been the pro totype of modern Ministers of Finance in Spain, the model they aspire to imitate. Perhaps there is not an equally unblushing refusal. Something ap•• proaching to an apology may be made to the un happy creditors. The Speech from the Throne may announce the royal desire that something may be done, which will be duly heard, applauded, and responded to verbally in the Cortes ; but something invariably occurs to lead to further procrastination, and to induce the representatives, in tender consider ation for the financial difficulties of the Ministry, to adjourn to a future convocation the question in which matters of such trivial import as the national honour and the national honesty only are at stake. Far better for its members to intrigue for new changes in the Ministry, to give each successive member of the various Cabinets which are set up and pulled down with such edifying regularity, after an official existence of a few brief months, a full opportunity of accumulating a large private for tune by the vilest system of corruption and pecula tion, while the honest creditors, who advanced their fortunes on the national faith, are involved in destitu tion and ruin. Far better that they should prate of " protection to their national industry," and with wilful blindness continue those exclusions and pro hibitions that lead to an organized and extensive system of smuggling, that make wealthy capitalists invest their money in the contraband trade as readily, and with as few scruples of conscience, as if it were an ordinary and legitimate commercial speculation— that converts their hardy border peasants, qualified for much higher pursuits, into lawless and de moralised banditti, contemners and despisers of the law (within whose meshes only small game are en tangled), and ready for any enterprise or act of any de gree of daring or atrocity, from the sale of a contraband cigar to plundering and holding to ransom the way faring traveller, or plunging their stilettos into the hearts of the victims who may have excited their anger, or for whose removal a sufficient sum is offered, than comply with the vulgar prejudice in favour of payment of debts. By a judicious change and alteration in their laws they would be enabled easily to obtain funds amply sufficient for all the exigencies and wants of the country, and the punctual discharge of their national liabilities and obligations, were they really anxious to redeem the national character ; but so long as England will patiently see her subjects swindled out of their property, and they them selves can be amused and satisfied with frivolous and evasive pretexts or apologies, so long will the discredit able system so long resorted to, be continued and perpetrated. We have too long been amused with fair words—a more energetic course must be adopted. The present offer is altogether " a mockery, a de lusion, and a snare." It opens witii a modest propo sition, that the bondholders should voluntarily give up a certain portion of the principal money due to them ; that they should relinquish twelve per cent. of their c l a i ms, this sum amounting to more t h an ah dto 4 8 , 0 00,0001. sterlin g on th e f u ll amoun t o f th e b on ds, j subjects, ,520,000/ . on the 46 000 000/ sterling due to British su nay,b s, is at once and irrevocably . to be sa crificed;far worse , it is not mer e ly its sacrifice, that is the chi e f objection. r the It is to b e h an d e d over t o fo the Spanish Ministry, purpose of of being sold in handed t ov er t o th e the market, a n d th e proceeds - Spanish Exchequ er; if dolts suff , dupes with more money th an wit, iently stolid, if sufficiently cre lous, can be found to invest their money in such a .-, and et lot tery, from whence the prizes are all cted the blanks distributed with the most Pr r a a i w impartiality. This is the pivot or turning point ohyf the whole proposition. Spain again wishes to become a borrower, but her disgraced and dishonour e d secu rities will not now attract the veriest idiot. The proposed loan of 1,000,000/. on Treasury bonds is going begging. No contractor or capitalist of any character will meddle with instruments of so de graded a character.

" • v••• s i • 4 .toi • SECONDrIoN: QlTtnin ot , LONDON, SATURDAY. JULY 17, 1847. Mr. ROEBUCK lives in the atmosphere of political tumult, and likes it. Such was the humorous but plain-spoken avowal of the Hon. and Learned Gen. tleman the Member for Bath, when addressing the Liberal electors of London, 'yesterday, on the pro priety o f accepting the four popu l ar candidates— LAII,PENT, PA TTISON , R OTHSCHILD , and RUSSELL. A politician who undertakes to represent the opinions of any given constituency in Parliament, with any latent disrelish for the toils and agitations of legis lation, is not the sort of man to select among the different candidates. Indifference, even, is a charac teristic which should be considered sufficient to dis qualify any parson from receiving the suffrages of the enfranchised million. There must be a manisfesta tion of something more than a tacit willingness to partake in the rather onerous duties of the House of Commons before a candidate, can look with confidence for the approval of the electors of the United Xing. blemished reputation that could sustain without damage the general indignation that would be aroused by the transaction. New schemes, there fore, must be devised to replenish the exhausted treasury ; and what more brilliant than to extract from the pockets of those already impoverished cre ditors a further contribution, on a promise hence. forward to act more fairly than has heretofore been the ease. But this free gift to the Spanish Government is not all that is demanded. The Bondholders are also to consent to a reduction of the future rate of inte rest on their debts of no less than 2 out of the 5 per cent. at present promised, or at least to which they are legally and equitably entitled. A rather modest request this, that the parties should immediately re linquish 50 per cent of their just demands, should accept a compromise of 10s. in the pound from their debtor. This sacrifice, heavy as it is, might be sub mitted to, if the amount of the composition were to be paid in cash, or even sufficiently guaranteed by other and more solvent sureties. But let us see what is offered in return. Nothing, literally nothing —or, rather worse than nothing ; the payment of the residue is, forsooth, henceforward to be secured on the Customs exclusively, and the creditor is to give up his demand, for the payment of which the entire of the revenues of the State are pledged, for half the amount secured in one branch only of that revenue, and that the branch a hich, from their in sane commercial policy is rendered comparatively worthless ! As well might a bankrupt or insolvent debtor offer to his creditors that, in case they should consent to relinquish a moiety of their claims, and to strike off the name of every endorser from their bills who may be liable as a security, that he will promise to pay them at his perfect convenience the remaining balance, they being contented with his own security for the performance of that promise. There is little reciprocity in this ; it would savour strongly of what is termed by lawyers nudum pactum, where all the advantages would be on one side, and no corresponding benefit of any sort to the other. Persons do not generally make large sacrifices, abandon considerable portions of their principal money, and release and exonerate any portion of the securities they hold, without some sort of considera tion ; therefore a proposition such as we have above described would be scouted with well-merited in dignation if put forward by an individual, and such will, no doubt, be the fate of that which has just been submitted to the Spanish Bondholders. Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived. The QUEEN was to leave adrid for La Granja on that day. The Moderadoes and Progresisstas are busily engaged in holding electoral meetings, as a dissolution of the Cortes is considered by no means improbable. Money still continues very scarce, and it is said there is no cash in the Treasury to pay the troops what became due to them on the 10th. A band of Carlists in Catalonia stopped the mail from Madrid to Barcelona, burnt the coach, and took the driver and courier prisoners. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 10.—The Three per Cents. 26 money; Five per Cents. 16; money, 17 paper ; Debt without interest skmoney, 51 paper; Coupons 15 money. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Court of Peers remained in secret deliberation on the Cubieres case during the whole of Wednes day, and separated without coming to any decision. They were to re-assemble the next day, when it was supposed sentence would be pronounced, they having already, it is said, determined upon a verdict of guilty against all the accused. General CUBIERES has sent to the KING his resignation of the dignity of a peer, and of hi 3 commission as Lieutenant-General. M. TESTE, since his late attempt at suicide is kept under rigid surveillance. The Droil says— "lt was reported yesterday that the per. on who took the pistols to M. Teste loaded them himself ; but being inexperienced in the use of such weapons, and not being aware that they were screw barrels, loaded them from the muzzles, and lett a vacuum between the powder and the ball, which lessened the force of the shots. M. Teste has, during the last two days, received numerous visits, and is surrounded by all his late secretaries, who never quit him." Each day brings to light some fresh instance of corruption on the part of the Beaurocracy of France. The Presse says— " It is affirmed that M. Ardit, Chief of the Bureau des Prisons in the office of the Minister of the Interior, and whose brother was compromised by the recent affair at the liaison de Clairvaux, is removed from office. It is added, that a judicial inquiry is about to take place." Algiers papers to the 10th have been received. The Moniteur Algerien of that date says— " After having completed the pacification of the mountains between Collo, Milah, and the sea coast, the expeditionary column of Lieutenant, General Bedeau was dissolved on the 30th ult. That of Bona, under the orders of Colonel Senilhes, will continue until the 15th inst. its operations against the turbulent tribes of the frontier. More detailed accounts from Morocco, without contradicting the news already given by us, per mit us to view it in a more favourable light. It appears that Muley Abderrahman is decided this time to avenge the insult he has received. The troops united under the command of his son, Muley Mohammed, are marching against the Emir, and the latter appears to be very uneasy. No tribe has proclaimed him Sultan, nor does any tribe, even in the Riff, seem disposed to throw off the very light yoke of the old Emperor to im pose on itself in all the dangers of a revolution that of the Emir, to whom is attached besides all the weight of an eternal contest with us. In this position, Abd el-Kader endeavours to calm Abderrahman by very sig nificant acts of respect. He delares that he has no hos tile intention towards him, and ascribes his attack upon the camp of El Hamar to the provocation and menaces that he has received. If his excuses are not received, everything tends to show that at this moment the advan tages are on the side of legitimate power. Thus the events which at first occasioned us serious uneasiness would lead to the most satisfactory and most unexpected solution." The Akbar of the 9th states that a great part of the harvest in Algeria has been destroyed by locusts. The Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday con cluded the discussion on the budget of expenses for 1848. The sitting was marked by a short explana tion from M. GUIZOT on the new arrangement entered into by the French and English Governments relative to certain islands of Oceania. An attempt was made to have the discussion on the Lyons and the Avignon Railway Bills postponed to next session, but the Chamber decided that they should be disposed of at once. The Paris Bourse of Thursday was remarkable for a considerable fall in prices that took place towards the close of the market. Northern shares (ex divi dend) reached 573 i, which, with the dividend (or interest of 4E) would indicate 577„ and they closed at 565, being a fall from the highest price of Bif. This decline was the more remarkable because the returns of the receipts for the week ending Friday last showed an increase of nearly 30,000 f., the gross amount being 320,496 f. The shares of all the other lines fell more or less, but Government stock remained unaltered. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 771. 65c. ; the Five per Cents. at 118 f. 50c.; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,272 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 9621. 50c. ; Havre, 6861. 25c.; Great Northern, 5651. ; Avignon, 623 f. 75c. ; Vierzon, 5871. 50c.; Bordeaux, 480 f. ; Boulogne, 3921. 50c. ; Basle, 183 f. 75c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 4201. ; Tours and Nantes, 395 E ; Paris and Lyons, 427 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 430 f: ; Bordeaux and Cette, 460 f.

TIIE NEWSVENDERS' ANNUAL DINNER.—That useful class of society, the newsvenders of the metropolis, partook of their annu a l di nner on Thursday, at Mr. ' Hinton's, Highbury Barn Tavern, Islington, about two o dock. Nearly three hundred boys sat down to a most excellent dinner, and who seemed highly delighted with Vie festive scene. About seven o'clock nearly two hundred men and their wives also sat down to a most sumptuous dinner. Great praise is due to the stewards, Messrs. Spilling, Wild, Violet, and Fielding, for the able manner in which they conducted the dinner. About ten o'clock the ball-room was thrown open, and danci ng was kept up till three o'clock in the morning. The company departed highly gratified with the day's amusement. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TETE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—A fatal accident occurred on this line yes• terday to Robert Parker, an engine-driver. It appears that the deceased was driving a train of "empties," and as he approached Manser Bridge, which is a " trussed" one, he fancied that the feed-pipe of the engine had become disconnected. He accordingly leant over the engine to see, when he unfortunately struck against the bri dge, and was thrown from it on to the line.

CITY, QUARTER TO THPEE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but steady. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 were on speculation and for exportation. Total sales of the week, 40,160 bales. Stock, 420,260 bales, against 763,180 bales a; this time last year. In Shares, likewise, there was not a great deal doing, but prices remained much the same. The features in the Bank of England statement of liabilities and assets for the week to the 10th inst. are these:— Notes issued £23,304,805 Decrease 257,525 Rest, increase. 62,083 Public deposits Decrease 4,493,605 _ _ _ . Other deposits, increase 7 day and other bills, increase 33,800 Government securities, decrease 170,046 Other securities, decrease 2,011,093 Notes reserved, decrease Bullion . Decrease Active circulation Increase It will be observed from this that the changes, as might be expected at the close of the quarter, have been of some magnitude. With a large withdrawal of public deposits, the Bank has been partly compensated by an increase of other deposits, the public benefiting by the di vidend payments, and the railways replacing on their own account what they had lodged with the Court of Chancery until their Acts were obtained. To meet the demands upon it the Bank, as usual, has obtained the refunding of temporary loans, but in a week or two, and perhaps even now, may be renewing its accommodation to the full extent to customers and others. The pay ments from the Bank have been met partly by an exten sion of issues, and partly by a distribution of coin. There are no late ship arrivals to-day, and but little local news is to be obtained. Electioneering now en grosses chief attention, and the canvassing is conducted with some spirit and zeal. The Funds have been lower. Consols 884 to 89 for transfer, and 89 to / for August. Exchequer-bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium. The influence of the Consol settlement being partially over, the Stock Market is now quieter. Bank Stock is worth 196, and East India Stock 2441. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 91i to j. The Foreign Securitiee have been very dull. Spanish Five per Cents. are 211 to 1. Equador Bonds have been at 31, and Chilien at 921. Dutch Two- and-a-Half per Cents. 57i 1. There is generally a steady market for Railway Shares, but some few exceptions may be noted. Eastern Coun ties are flat, partly owing to a statement that the divi dend will not be supported. Windsor and South- Western are higher, as it is expected the line will be favourably leased. Northern of France Shares are rather dull. Great Western are firmer, and Brighton a shade lower. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

William Triphook and John Finley were charged with uttering two t orged cheques, purporting to be signed by Lord Skelmersdale, at Messrs. Coutta and Co. Mr. George, a clerk, in the employment of Messrs. Coutts and Co., said, that about a week ago, the prisoner Triphook entered Messrs. Coutts', and presented a cheque for I/. It was signed as if by Lord Skelmers dale, and payable to Mrs. Wheeler. It was indorsed, "Pay Mr. Finley.—C. Wheeler." Witness paid it, and the prisoner went away. This morning the prisoner again offered a cheque for the same amount, and with the same signature, which, however, he immediately per ceived to be a forgery. He told the prisoner so, and the prisoner replied, " Why, I gave you one like it last week, and you paid it." On referring to the file, witness found that the first cheque was also a forgery, though he had not observed it. He immediately gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Mullens, who appeared for the prosecutors, ob served that he thought it would be necessary to examine Triphook as a witness. Policeman Thompson, F 98, was at the station when the prisoner Triphook was brought in, and heard him say that he got the cheque from Mr. J. Finley, the brother of Mr. Finley, an artist in the Strand, in whose service he (Triphook) was. Witness went to that per son's rooms, and took the other prisoner there. He said that he gave the cheques to the prisoner, and had re ceived them in the way of trade. The prisoner Triphook said that he received the first cheque from another person in the emplo) ment of Mr. Finley, the prisoner's brother. The second he received from the prisoner himself this morning. The prisoner Finley said that he was a tailor in Birmingham, and had received the first cheque in the way of trade from a person named Williams there. Having some suspicions, from the small amount and from its being written on a piece of common paper, and not on a printed form, as usual, he sent it to his brother by post, requesting him to send it to Messrs. Coutts's to get it cashed. He delayed bringing his business to a con clusion until he heard from his brother that the cheque was paid ; then, thinking that sufficient proof of the genuineness of the cheque was given, he gave Wheeler the goods he had bought and the change due out of 11. Yesterday being in London he received the second cheque by post from his father, who was managing his business in Birmingham. He had the letter in which his father endorsed the cheque, at his brother's house in the Strand. Mr. I lENRY allowed the prisoner to go home in charge of the offices to look for the letter, and in a few minutes he returned with it. Mr. HENRY said that he was inclined to think the letter was genuine, and the prisoner's statement true, but it was a point of suspicion against Finley that when he expressed his doubts as to the genuineness of the first cheque, he did not make any inquiry as to the character of the person who gave it him. Mr. Mullens said that he thought Tripkook ought to be discharged at once, ana the other prisoner admitted to bail. Mr. HENRY was of the same opinion, and it was ulti mately agreed that Finley should be liberated on giving his own recognizance for 1001., and his brother's fur the same sum, on condition that he should go at once to Birmingham, with the officer, to endeavour to find Wheeler, and give him in charge. Triphook was accordingly discharged, and Finley en tered into the required recognizances to appear again on Thursday next. The parties then left the Court. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Daniel Hitchcock, who was brought up yesterday at Lambeth Police-court, en'the charge of having murdered two of his children about six or seven years ago, and which charge rested upon his own confession, was brought before Mr. Combe, in pursuance of Mr. Norton's direction, for Enal examination, the alleged murder having been committed within the Clerkenwell district. Inspector Valentine stated that he had made in quiries since the prisoner surrendered himself, and two persons were now in attendance, who could give the Magistrate some information on the state of the pri soner's mind. One of them, the prisoner's landlord, said he considered him not to be sound in mind; while his employer stated, that although eccentric occasionally, he never seemed unconscious of the consequences of his actions. Mr. COMM inquired what the nature of the person's confession was ? The inspector replied that he bad accused himself of having, by means of arsenic, procured abortion twice in a female with whom he resided. Mr. COMBE said he could not see the slightest grounds for suspecting that there was any foundation for the crime of which the prisoner wished to make himself appear guilty. The probability was that he had acted as he had done through some morbid anxiety for noto riety, or perhaps by bringing the name of the female before the public he thought to annoy the party to whom she was now married. He should order him to be at once discharged. The self accused then left the court apparently very reluctantly, and muttering something about great dis tress of mind for his imaginary crime. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.-THIIRSDAY. THE CUP.—The race for this prize not having been run until four o'clock, we were obliged to confine our report sent by the express train to a bare return. We subjoin the latest betting, and a brief sketch of the running:— Betting —5 to 1 agst Pic Nic, 5 to 1 agst Camera Obscure, 6 to 1 agst Conjuror, 7 to 1 agst Quadruped, 10 to 1 agst Plaudit, 12 to 1 agst Inheritress, 12 to 1 apt Conspiracy, and 15 to 1 agst Pantasa. Inglewood jumped off at starting, but was immediately passed by Pic Nic, who went on with the running at a good pace, followed by Inglewood, the latter waited on by Pantasa, Inheritress, Conspiracy, and the Conjuror, with several others laying up. Pantasa was beaten at the bridge turn, but the other members of the front rank maintained their positions to the last turn. Here Inheritress and Rowena became second and third, and so remained to the distance where they passed Pic Nic, Rowena by sufferance having the lead; Inheritress came at the half distance, took the lead at the stand, and won cleverly by a length; Rowena beating I'ic Nic by half a length, Chanticleer a bad fourth, and Plaudit fifth. Run in 3 min. 27 secs. The attendance was immense, and the only drawbacks on the enjoyment of an excellent day's sport were the excessive heat of the weather, and the fearful confusion that, for want of adequate police arrangements, pre vailed in the journey to and from the course; an amend ment in this respect has long been wanted.

THE ROYAL YACHTS.—Hundreds are daily availing themselves of the kindness of Lord A. Fitzclarence in allowing every one who pleases to go over the Victoria and Albert and the Fairy. The boatmen are reaping a good harvest. The yachting season, which has been so long delayed this year, appears to be about to commence in earnest. Numerous fashionable visitors are daily arriving, and the applications for houses increase; but we never re member so many houses to let at this late period before. THE HARVEST.—AII sorts of corn promise well. The harvest will commence in about three weeks. Beans, peas, turnips, &c., want rain. The potatoes never looked better, but cannot long stand out against the continued drought.

(LEFT SITTINGI) RAILWAYS IN THE UNITED STATES. The surplus products of American harvests, and their transportation to meet the exigencies of the mother country, render freights on the American lines did' cult to be obtained, notwithstanding that the Ne% Jersey and other lines run many extra trains b o night and day. The quantity of flour which has b ee received at Boston by the Western Railway, betw een „ September 1 and April 10, was 182,542 barr e l '' 143,647 barrels for the corresponding period last Ye, tir ,; The quantity of corn received from all points dur ise the same period, was 1,353,560 bushels. The r e, pressions that at present prevail in America, l tive to the ultimate remunerativeness of their Int l . tiplying lines may be taken as a tolerable c riterio n of the eventual advantage that will accrue or o of prudent enterprise in connexion with almost all ost British Railways. It is predicated in the b e 0 informed quarters, that every line in Americaf_ gf n matter how unfavourable at present may ePP their location, must eventually pay good dividen d it , Nearly every rail in the country earned more We ; in 1846 than in 1845, and so far this year they done a very large business compared with the eo i o responding period in former years. The activity of the grain markets has given all any quantitf f freight, and they have been reaping a very r I A , harvest. Every road in the country, in good 13,an,."„,,' must improve in value and productiveness. . 1 . 1 „' are so intimately connected with the trade and e" '" o ; merce of the country, that they must improve, resources become developed, and connexions s I made between different sections of the country. -"i f • business of the New England lines is almost entir e f, of a local character, and they pay better divide'i; than any others in the country. The New York o f have expended nearly three hundred millions„ dollars in works of internal improvement; some 0 8 unproductive, some in an unfinished state, and s t) .,, • at present perfectly useless. At the time the mense debts of some of the States were contraerho the public mind was almost entirely absorbed bf :a n, construction of canals. The canals built at ths,t, at such an extravagant rate of expenditure, "04;1 7 ii ,14 few years be almost entirely sup erse d e d by_reili r r il`, constructed in their immediate v i c inity. New ways are in completion in every part of the coulwool and a few years will suffice to complete 10 0111 30 1 the lines now in an unfinished state. The cap n 0 stocks of most have been filled up by subscriptsre from the middle classes, New 'York capitalist s , u # very shy, and touch all works of improvement e.if tiously ; and rich men are unwilling to part with t , money, unless immediate returns in the shape o f vidends are guaranteed. In consequence of this P i a ciple prevailing so generally, the system of PaY interest upon all instalments paid in upon subsc tions to railways has been adopted. The jeu r t il bs il condemn this system, as it is not more or less o t, paying back to subscribers, in the shape of inte u re , 3 o part of the principal, the deficiency pr o d uce d by tiw o f payments having to be made up by an i n crease • capital stock. On the Boston line there has be en o f general increase of trade. In fact, the increase ut business on the railroads already in operation ha s all previous calculations far in the back-ground. Pn . timates, originally deemed to be highly exagger a l e r , have proved to be far below the actual results. 17. annexed table exhibits the g ross receipts of the lowing railroads leading from Boston, in four ye ar ' ending December 1, 1846 :- 1843. 1846. dollars. dollars- Boston and Worcester 383,367 56 4 , 712 Western 584,882 954, 417 Boston and Lowell 277,315 3 44,102 Fitchburg not open 28 6 . 835 , Boston and Maine 178,744 3 49,130 Eastern 272,036 371,33!37° Boston and Providence 233,388 360, S ep t,tal 1,918,734 3,260, 7 - 2 „ Aggregate increase on all th e roa d s i s 57 Per,',,,lJe Fares were generally r e d uce d i n 1 84 5 .
