The para graph, they state, at which they conceive offence to have been taken, is the following, containing one of their reasons for wishing the life of Smith O'Brien to be sparcd:— " That the feeling is very general amongst all classes of Protestants that several Roman Catholic priests and bishops, whose r a nes we believe to be well known to the government, were leaders of the disaffected party, and that these men have not been prosecuted by the authori ties, while Smith O'Brien has been singled out, and the strongest measures adopted to bring him to justice." Of the facts thus put forth, they conceive that they are now under the necessity of advancing proof. In the first place they refer to the unani mous opinion which prevailed amongst the Pro testant press of Great Britain, and the complaint uttered " by all classes of Protestants," without the slightest attempt at contradiction, _that corre spondence implicating a portion of the priesthood in the designs of the rebellious party, was found in Mr. Smith O'Brien's portmanteau, and sup pressed by the government. They proceed "9 —ln proof that Roman Catholic priests and bishops 'tiers of the disaffected party,' it may be impor tant to state that a Roman Catholic bishop named Maginn, and a large number of his clergy, had sent letters and subscriptions to `the Irish League,' which body was forcibly broken up as a seditious and ' disaffected body,' and its papers, documents, and property seized for the same reason. were le An additional proof is given in the following fact, that two priests, named Bermingham and Kenyon, were suspended by their own bishop for writing letters which were so excessively seditious that their diocesan condemned them in the strongest possible language. "4.—As another proof, it was stated publicly in the papers that warrants were issued against two priests, named O'Malley and Meehan, and that one of them was in cus tody for a few hours, and released at the intercession of Dr. Murray. And whether the above statement be true to the letter or not (and if not true it was rather strange that neither the priests nor the dio c es a n, all whose cha racters were involved, contradicted it), it is certain that these rev. gentlemen. were ' leaders of the disaffected party another proof, it was universally known that a priest, named Hughes, wrote a letter, which appeared in the public papers, of so violent and sanguinary a cha racter as to cause a feeling of horror and indignation in the hearts of all well dispased and loyal men ; and yet it is currently stated, and universally believed, that that very man has received a contribution of £lO from your Excellency towards building a chapel, where, in all pro bability, he will promulgate with impunity the same doe- on the late trials for treason that a priest - named Fitzgerald told the police officer, Trant, that he would place him under his protection if he and his men would surrender the Queen's arms to the rebel party. remind your Excel . y that a certain priest named Mackey acted as an am- a further proo meat ;' and, althot he was allowed to s y hid, mpunity pursued towards a lady ;ed to have been arrested er under of our of the t, npt to r 1 only ad 't one ted on the officials of your kelytt Inmate therein AV( for the apoiog to or e dge, if not sanction, of tire priests sts of the the committee the equitable rating of tl whom it Irawn to the case of Bris g the Doel ieir q,i ) the gentlern s a probable itor with Liverpool for stern world.

The cause paper comprised three special arguments, tv o demurrers, and seventy issues. Toe case , tried yesterCay were unimportant. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT TRANMERE.—On Saturday, R. Folkes, a labourer, about 16 years of age, was brought before the magistrates at Birkenhead, arged by Mr. Dix, of Tranmere, with highway robbery. Mr. Dix, it appeared, was going home on Friday night when he was met by the prisoner, who demanded from him 55., threat eeing in case of refusal to take his life. He also knocked the hat off Mr. Dix's head, and ran away with it, but was pursued and captured. COMMITMENTS FROM THE POLICE-COURT, YESTER DAY.—Mary Cavanagh, charged by James Eilworth, with robbing him of 4s. in Wilbraham-street, was sent to gaol for three months.— George Daly, a boy, was charged with having broken into an unoccupied house in Peel-street, Everton, and stealing therefrom, a quantity of lead piping, taps, a floating ball for a cistern, a small bell, &c., was committed for one month.—Daniel Hooper, a seaman, for snuggling from a vessel five pints of rum, was (in de fault of payment of a fine of 205.), committed for seven days.—A young man, (name unknown,) was charged with having in his possession a large bunch of skeleton keys, and with having offered two small pieces of gold, (not coins,) for sale to Mr. Cowan, dealer in precious wares, who refused to purchase on the ground that possession was not accounted for. Through Mr. Cowan the prisoner was taken into custody. As no owner could be imme diately found for the gold, the prisoner was dealt with fOr having false keys in his possession—by being sent to gaol for three months. He stated that he had come from Staffordshire, and he was not known to the police here. Mr. Rushton complimented Mr. Cowan. ST2ALING A TARPAULlN.—Yesterday, at the police court, a young man, named George Leech, was charged with having stolen a tarpaulin, or oil-cloth for covering a cart. It appeared that Mr. Potter, of Pall-mall, was the owner of the article. On Friday night, four such cloths w ere left in a yard in Hood -street, and one of them, worth about £3, was missed on the following morning. On Sa turday night the prisoner was observed passing along Whitechapel, with an oil-cloth on his back, and, being apprehended, it was found to be the missing article. It was identified in court by certain marks, and the prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions. Mr. Rushton, in asking the prisoner what he had to say to the charge, cau tioned him that ho need not say any thing unless he thought proper; that what he did say might be lead against him at his trial, but that he must remember that no promise or threat that might have been held out to him, relative to what he might say would avail him on his trial. This appears to be explanatory of some new act, affecting the confession of prisoners. The prisoner, after this caution, merely stated that he had not been on the premises in Hood street. THE SILVER CRADLE.—This piece of plate, which is to be given to Mrs. Horsfall, (the lady of our highly re spected chief magistrate, T. B. Horsfall, Esq.,) and which is curious as, in its presentation, it will revive a very ancient civic custom, while it will express the high sense which the donors entertain of his Worship, as a Mayor and a man—is now on view at the shop of Mr. Mayer, the Manufacturer, in Lord-street, and will there remain for public inspection until Friday next. It is a truly elegant and massive article, designed with classical taste, and executed in the first style of workmanship. In general outline it resembles the shell or scroll-shaped cars in which sea-nymphs have sometimes been represented, as careering "o'er the unfathomed deep." The sides are richly chased, with, in the centre (within a circle) the parents fondling with their infant, and an angel on each side watching over them. Over the head part which ter minates the scroll, and is higher than the curve at the foot, there is a beautiful figure of Britannia, seated, ; over the foot is placed the " Liver," , with extended wings. The stand, or pedestal, is enriched with figures of Dol phins and other emblems nautical and conanaercial.—The cradle will be presented on Saturday next at his Worship's residence, Mill Bank, West Derby.

They see in their path an engine, which may, by the action of an hour, render abortive and ruinous their best-devised plans and enterprizes. And they refrain, naturally, from exposing themselves to its tyrannical pressure. - The question has been put repeatedly, and taunt ingly, by the Bullionists to those who oppose their system—" What have you to propose in its stead ?" We have been asked to afford something tangible to fight against. We shall do so now, by bringing before the public the first of a series of papers emanating from an association, whose labours, upon a subject which a large portion of our mer cantile body seem most unaccountably disinclined to take the trouble to acquaint themselves with, are deserving of all praise. The document we give entire : " TRACT NO. 1, OF THE LIVERPOOL CUR- REN CY I ,EFORM ASSOCIATION " Convertille Paper Currency based upon Capital. " The principle advocated by this association is— " THE ISSUE OF MONEY BY GOVERNMENT ON CONSOLS, TO BE THE ONLY LEGAL TENDER "The entire fabric of commerce rests upon the index if account, whether that be a pound, a dollar, a franc, or ny other denomination. "In our commercial system we have taken the pound s the index of value. "In all countries, especially in this, there are fixed charges and debts, which render it necessary, that what ever be the lapse of time, equivalents shall be paid for equivolents—that value shall be given for value. This involves the necessity of maintaining the pound at a cer tain purchasing power from year to year, and, in the case of national debts, from century to century, in order that neither debtor nor creditor may be over-paid nor under paid. To effect this, the pound of account, or the pound of the ledger, which is merely a register cf tha pound of the till, must be mixed. " For thqpurpose of fixing this pound of account at a certain puillthsing power, it is necessary to have it a fixed portion of a fixed amount of accumulated capital or la bour, so that the whole being exchangeable for an equi valent, the part shall be exchangeable for an equivalent; the graduation shall measure its equivalent, as the aggre gate would measure its equivalent, and the graduation will thus not only measure the aggregate, but will mea sure equivalents, as the yard, the graduation, will not only measure the aggregate, the circumference of the earth, but will measure lengths in commodities. THE BRITISH FUNDED PROPERTY A STANDARD OF VALUE " The largest aggregate amount of accumulated capital or labour is to be found in the British funded property. The property being an ascertained, recognised, and un unquestioned amount, the graduation becomes an ascer tained, recognised, and unquestioned amount also, and a pound a measure of value, as the yard a measure of length. The property is the standard of value as the circumference of the earth is the standard of length. " To give the standard of value a fixity, and the mea sure of value a uniformity, that great desideratum, it will be necessary, instead of allowing Consols to fluctu ate, according to the present standard of gold, to fix them at par, and test by this standard the value of all commo dities, including gold. " Having fixed a measure of value, it becomes necessary to provide a MONEY OR MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE, which shall be symbolical, valueless, and portable. " Symbolical, or the representative of a value deposited, —the certificate of capital, either owned by or entrusted to the holder of such money. _ _ _ " Of no intrinsic value :--For being only a Medium of &charge of one value for another, it is useless to bring into the transaction a third value or money of intrinsic he ad for the'shipping seen, does not antic )ut only Pte. are increasing clueing our rates from time to tim before Bristol has got to "about our level," we shall be at a lower I THE ball moves on; and shortly it will become London and North-Western Railway hares were per share, . they are to fall no one seems to knov is not causes 1 by any mind as to the divide have had no new rev tt Tit LIVERPOOL STANDARD. value, like Gold.

Thus the excess would.be withdrawn from circulation, and the owner again become a recipient of Three per Cent. from the Consolidated Fund ; and thus would be prevented thJse exteme:fluctuations which entail such enormous losses on the commercial community in time of panic. " Convertibility would thus become, not as at present, the exchange of a Bank Note into a metallic certificate, or a piece of gold, which, however, cannot possibly be pro- . duced, if required ; but the exchange of a Bank Note for a Consols' certificate, or a certificate that a certain amount of capital has been &posited, and into which productive capital it can at any moment be converted." _ _ _ We believe we are rather premature in giving publicity to this document, inasmuch as the Asso- - elation :are about publ shing their manifesto, in The importance of the present crisis, however, felt by every man engaged in business, and by our labouring masses, has led us to break through any punctilio which might otherwise have restrained us. We give in unhesitatingly our adhesion to the principles contained in the tract. These we shall hold ourselves prepared to defend. The details of the plan we may oppose or support, as we may consider fit. But the principles are the main thing, A CHARGE has been brought against us, of Wm. Withers Ewbank in a letter published in the Courier of Wednesday last, and which we reprint for fairness sake in another column. The very paper in which the letter in question appears con tains a •copy of the report taken accurately from the STANDARD of last week, shelving at least that in the judgment of the editor of that journal there was neither any material inaccuracy nor important omission in the account of the proceedings fur nished by us to the public. We are free to admit that we were reluctant to give needless publicity to the distressing scene that occurred upon Mr. Ewbank's pertinacious refusal to bow to the autho rity of the chair, and the manifested wish of the entire meeting, with scarcely an exception ; and we _de enough to believe, that by pursuing the course we did—that is to say, by dwelling as little as possible on the surprising line of conduct persevered in by Mr. Ewbank, and all the unseem liness occasioned by it, and by passing on with as little notice as possible to subsequent proceedings, which were marked with especial solemnity and edification, after the Chairman had been called back to the chair,—we repeat, we did think that by pu,-suing this course we had entitled ourselves to Mr. Ewbank's gratitude and approval, upon his more calm consideration subsequently on the whole matter. As sincere well-wishers and supporters, to the best of our power, of the cause, we seriously regret the tone he has taken throughout his letter; and from our own impression of the transaction, and what we have heard from other competent and impartial witnesses, we are bound to admire Mr. Ewbank's adroitness rather than his candour, in the attempt to fasten upon the Chairman the re sponsibility of what he truly calls " one of the most disgraceful scenes of confusion ever witnessed an - loncr men calling themselves Christians." The dissolution of the meeting was but for a moment, when, after the passing of the first resolution, the Chairman, finding Mr. Ewbank insensible either to authority or remonstrance, and despairing, in con sequence, of seeing order restored, vacated the chair. On Mr. Ewbank's departure, he was imme diately, and with acclamation, recalled to it, and the deputation was listened to afterwards with the utmost attention. These are the facts of the case; upon these must the public decide, since we are unable to discover in what respect we have given, as charged by Mr. Ewbank, " a completely untrue version of the whole affair." were sim It is not for us to comment upon the tone of personal and bitter invective adopted towards the chairman throughout this letter, which we are told was softened down and curtailed by the editor of the Courier, or it would have been still more un seemly and unchristian. No man knows better than Mr. Ewbank himself, that if the Chairman were " willing to wound," he is neither " afraid nor unable to strike." All took place in the presence of More than two thousand witnesses, who testified a very unequivocal approval of the conduct of their Chairman, upon a sudden emergency, which re quired to be dealt with peremptorily and at once. His character and conduct are for many years before the public now, and we are sure he maintains a higher ground with a dignified silence, than by descending into the arena of such a letter as this, to which, most painfully, we have been necessitated to recur. A HINT TO OUR WATER COMMITTEE, AS TO THE PROBABLE RESUL r OF DEEP BORINGS IN THE RED SANDSTONE. The Manchester Guardian of Saturday contains an account of a visit paid by the Mayor of Manchester and several Aldermen and members of the Corporation to some new water works, recently constructed by the Man chester and Salford Company at Gorton, in order to pro cure an increased supply of the element, pending the construction of the works of the new scheme, by which the town is to be supplied with surface water brought from the Derbyshire hills. Our contemporary says— "After inspecting the reservoir, they visited the chief object of attraction—the splendid new and powerful Cornish engine, set to work to exhibit its great eapabiities in pumping up a cant volume of the water obtained by sinking in the red sand stone to a depth of seventy yards. The water is stored by and subterranean reservoirs. The voliime of water thus raised by this engine is estimated to be equal to about two million gallons per day—a quantity considerably exceeding the expec tations of the company themselves, an? securing, to an absolute certainty, a moderate supply of I, ater for Manchester until the new scheme of the corporation is in operation. The water was 1, and ;* ,stet, is quality considered very satisfactory.- Our contemporary concludes his description bY stating "After spending a very pleasant afternoon, the party re turned to Manchester, very well satisfied with the state of the supply of water from t powerful engine, 'N'N'flieh was found to do what, in :ornwall, is called " its duty," very satisfactorily." If Manchester, by the mere sinking of an additional shaft of seventy yards in depth, and the erection of an efficient engine, has thus been enabled to add two million gallons per day to the supply available for its inhabi tants, it is not at all improbable that Liverpool might do the same. At all events, we would suggest to some of the members of the Health Committee or of the Council, accompanied by one or more scientific men, to visit these works, inspect the natute of the strata, and obtain what information they can from the company's talented engineer, Mr. Bateman. Perhaps it may be found out at last that we are going from home for a commodity which we possess in abundance beneath our own feet. DISGUSTIN LEVITY OF THE IRISH CONVICTS The Cork Examiner gives the following account of some of the precious young gentlemen, who were to have performed the gigantic task of severing their country from its connexion with the mightiest empire in the world, and defeating an army and navy, which, together have stood against the combined power of Europe ` A correspondent, a clergyman of the diocese of Waterford Clonmel gaol, states that this noble young patriot appeared as cheerful and buoyant as in the days of his boyhood. As an instance of the lightheartedness apparent among the state prisoners in general, he mentions that be saw 111‘Alanus and Leyne amusing themselves by playing at marbles in the gaol ward!" Such conduct, indecent—we beg pardon, " lighthearted " —as it is in men with the prospect of the gallows. or of an ignominious exile before their eyes, is in perfect keep ing. Mountebanks in the beginning, who can wonder at the resort to " marbles in the gaol yard ? " THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION, ST. PAUL'S WARD The contest in St. Paul's Ward at the approaching municipal election is likely to be rather a severe one, but we confidently expect that the electors will not allow themselves to be deprived of the valuable and experienced serices of Mr. Briscoe. It is worth while to notice the candid maaner in which that gentleman in his address declares himself to be "an advocate for rating the whole of the Dock and such portion of the Corporate Estate as may be compatible with the varied interests of this im portant Borough." His opponent, however, Mr. M‘Cruf fie, says in words that may mean anything, that he feels "it is the duty of every elector to give the aid of hic, hum ble endeavours to effect such an equalization of our local taxes, as will tend to alleviate the burdens under which the ratepayers have for some time laboured." If Mr. M`Guffie votes against the rating of the. ock and Corporate estates no elector can accuse him of having broken his word. MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF ABER CROMBIE WARD. Last night a numerous meeting of the electors of this ward was held at Mr. Danson's inn, in Mul berry-street, for the purpose of introducing to them Mr. W. Earle, who had accepted of an invitation nu merously signed, to become a candidate. Mr. John Finch was called to the chair, and stated the object to be, to hear Mr. Earle express his opinions. He, Mr. Earle, had before represented St. Anne's ward, but as the chairman of his committee and most of the members had become dispersed, so that he would not likely be renominated, he had accepted of an invitation numerously signed to come forward for this ward, and would explain his opinions on the, principal topics that now pressed upon the attention of the electors.—Mr. Earle stated it was not for him to state his qualifications, but for them to judge of him by his past conduct in the council. As he had stated in his address he would not canvass for a vote, though he should be proud of obtaining their suffrages. He courted interrogatory, and should not equivocate in his replies, as some parties did who placed their opinions upon swivels, so that they might turn them either way. He and other friends, including Mr. Hornby, thought, with respect to the rating question, that the docks ought to be rated, and also parts of the corporate estate; and he hoped that the Select Vestry, the Dock Trustees, and the Council, would come to an arrangement that would pre vent the heavy cost of legal proceedings, and benefit the town. He agreed also that all local rates should be equalised, and that the utmost economy and retrench ment should be observed in the local expenditure. But there had been a false economy pursued, es pecially in sewerage, in which a bad system has been worked ; but an efficient one was now in operation. Some questions were put to Mr. Earle on the water ques- Von, to which he replied that an abundant supply of the best water from the Pike would not increase the present rates, and that after the works were completed, and the town became more populous, the rates would be reduced. To the objection that the scheme had been too much pre cipitated at a time when the town was so much depressed, he stated that the Act required the Corporation to purchase the land, and within a given time, and had also compelled them to purchase the old works at a most exorbitant price, though they were left in a very disgraceful state, but he did not think any borough-rate would be required, though the interest of the money to be borrowed would be required to complete the works, which would be done at the estimate—X4Bo,ooo—while, in the end, the vast profits of the old companies would be saved. He blamed the press for misrepresentations, to forward their own business.— Mr. Danson proposed a motion to the effect that the electors of the ward were satisfied with the exposition given by Mr. Earle of his opinions, and promised to fur tht r his election as thekrepresentative." He entered into a long exposition of Mr. Earle's and his own proceedings in the Council over many years, and dwelt at great length on the water question, on which he said ignorant opinions had gone abroad. The committee had given every point of the question their most careful consideration, yet their exertions for the good of the town had been. misrepresented, and themselves traduced. He fully expected that for his conscientious opinions on this point, he should be thrown out of Lime-street Ward. He eulogised Mr. Earle throughout, for his straight. forward and manly conduct in the Council, and also for his extreme industry in committees, &c.—Mr. Jee se conded the resolution, which was unanimously carried.— Mr. Earle appropriately returned thanks. A committee, headed by Mr. Finch as chairman, was then elected, and the meeting separated. SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND.—The Bishop of Chester is to make his first appearance in this part of his diocese next Sunday, when he preaches in the Church for the Blind, in aid of the funds of that excellent institution, which, we regret to hear, is suffering greatly from the pressure of the times. It is expected that there will be a very fashionable attendance. We hear that the Mayor and Corporation will attend, and that the Countess of Sefton and other ladies are to receive the contributions. The bishop is said to be a very eloquent preacher. Loss OF THE PEEL'S ONE. — lntelligence has been re ceived of the total loss of The Peel's One, Capt. Lickiss, on the 18th of September, near Cape North, Cape Breton Island, and also six of the crew. This vessel, it appears, left Hull on the 19th of August, for Richebucto, and at the time of the occurence she had on board eight passen gers, besides the crew of the schooner Balarea, of St. John's, N.B. Twenty-three persons escaped with their lives, but the other six were drowned. DISCOVERY OF A GANG OF COINERS.—On Saturday, Andrew Gaynor, Betsy Gaynor, Patrick M'Corrnick, and Catherine Whelan were brought up, having been found with a mould for casting counterfeit shillings in their possession, in a cellar occupied by the prisoners, in Hornby-street. On a search, in a small crevice in a coal vault, the officers found a plaster mould for casting shillings of the reign of George 111., four counterfeit shillings newly made, and a parcel of metal wrapped in a dirty cloth. In the cellar itself they found a file, plaster of paris, and a melting-spoon. The man Gaynor, it was stated, had been before the court a few days before for passing a base shilling, and acquitted ; and both of the female prisoners, it appears, nave been previously tried for a similar offence. Mr. Rushton ordered the case to be submitted to the law-officers of the Crown. ROBBERY OF A PRISONER'S WIFE.—On Saturday Ann Johnson, a respectable-looking young woman, was char ged with having obtained a quantity of groceries from Mrs. Maria Grant, by means of a forged letter. The husband of the prosecutrix was tried.at the late Sessions for his connexion with a robbery of flour, and is now un der sentence in the Borough Gaol. On Friday, it appeared, the prisoner called 'n Mrs. Grant, and pretending that she had been in prison, presented a note purporting to be from Mr. Grant, asking for a variety of articles. These were furnished to the amount of 3s. 6d., and the prisoner was entrusted to carry them to the gaol. The moment she had gone Mrs. Grant began to suspect the genuineness of the letter, and despatched a messenger to watch the prisoner's movements. She proceeded direct with the goods to her own house in Standish-street, and was there given into custody. A difficulty in regard to the prose cution here presented itself, as the prisoner could not without a writ of habeas corpus be called up to deny the authorship of the letter which had been produced. Some attempt, however, it appeared, had been made to com• promise the offence and the prisoner was discharged. PROPOSED MOVEMENT TO RESTORE CONFI DENCE IN SHARE PROPERTY. We referred in our last to the very proper steps taken by the London and Northwestern Railway board, of pre paring for their shareholders and the public a full and in telligible statement of the precise position of their affairs. We learn from a Scottish contemporary that the example is about to be followed by one of the leading Scotch lines; and we have little doubt that it will be followed by all honest boards of directors. In addition, however, to these voluntary measures for dissipating the exaggerated fears entertained of the stability of railway property, we observe with pleasure the formation of an association of gentlemen connected with joint-stock property generally, "fnr thn nurnnsp of nhtnining statements similar to . . referred to, and of impressing upon boards the necessity of postponing the construction of. new works, and curtail ing to the utmost the demand upon shareholders for fur- ther calls ;" and we believe we may state confidently that a similar association is at present being formed in our own town We cannot impress too strongly upon our readers the importance of this movement ; and especially of the latter _ _ possible that we can continue paying from two to three millions sterling per month for calls upon new lines, or for branches and extensions of old lines, without a further frightful depreciation of the aggregate capital sunk in these undertakings. The commercial and trading com- munities are just now reduced to deal from hand to-mouth of the country, composed of Bills of Exchange and other commercial paper, by the aid of which we were enabled two yPars ago to project suc:l vast additions to our railway . _ facilities, without seriously interfering with the ordinary transactions of business, has been swept away from us. The enormous structure of credit—the inverted sugar- loaf—has given way ; and the small golden end of cone represents the limit to which which we must restrict our transactions. We may amuse ourselves by talking of doubts created by unintelligible statements of accounts ; of the effect of decreased traffic and dividends upon our great lines; of panics and other matters. But it is palp able that, with produce in the hands of merchants, which they cannot convert into money ; with mills working half time, and our industrious classes restricting both their met, and the construction O to the uttno This should be one of the first steps. The next should be a rigid examination of the prospects of those new un dertakings which are in such a stage of advancement that they cannot be conveniently laid aside, with a view to a revision of the original estimates and to the enforcement of the utmost possible economy of construction. As to those which are not yet commenced they should be aban doned at once. Such a reexamination as we propose will, we feel confident, elicit the fact that the traffic evidence, upon which the bulk of the new lines were sanctioned is as preposterously exaggerated as it well could have been that engineers, lawyers, directors, an - ecretaries we est stat hallu- the time of their projection in the wil cination as to the value of their respective hantlings ; and that where magnificent lines at from 1:20,000 to £30,000 per mile were imagined to be justified, there is not a pro spect of traffic sufficient to pay upon a tramway of 42,000 to £3,000 per mile. We have 'had a little experience since that time. We have seen that the expansiveness of traffic has its limit ; that people do not travel merely be cause there is a railway but because they have business to travel about. It may be very convenient to owners of mines, or producers of various commodities, that they should be furnished with the best modes of transit to markets or ports of shipment; but shareholders must look out for themselves. If such lines will not .pay, they ought not to be made at all, or should be cut down to the scale of ex pense in formation at which they are•likely to be remu nerative. • We cannot coincide altogether with those who recom mend, as a mode of keeping up high dividends, an in crease of the rate of fares, or a diminution of the facili- ties for locomotion at present held out to the public to any serious extent. Such a course would be unfair to the community at large, and a breach of faith with nies What is virtually as complete a monopoly as if it had been enacted that we should travel by no other mode of conveyance. To this extent, however, we would go. The number of express trains might be de- diminish the frightful accidents which have recently occurred. There is no positive need that all the world should fly in the pursuit of their various avocations. It might be also advisable that second and third class pas sengers should only travel at a speed proportionate to the fares they pay. This would put a stop to that shirking of the expense of locomotion, which is practised by gentlemm who find it economical to ride in third-class carriages, and at the same time render it unnecessary for companies to throw discomforts and inconveniences in the way of the poor man, in order to drive Others, who can well afford the ex pense, into the superior carriages. To effect this object it would only be necessary to have separate trains for each class; and the time spent upon the whole journey by the inferior trains need not be much lengthened, because they could be arranged to run through, instead of, as at pre sent, having long stoppages at some particular point on the way, where they are sought to be seduced into a supe rior train by seeing precedence given to it, whilst, to enable them to go forward by that in which they started, they have to kick their heels for a couple of ours at some LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS) The Federal Gazette of Zurich publishes letters from Arona to the 15th. which state that Charles Albert is marching on Milan, with 100,000. men ; 30,000 are to march on Piacenza. PARIS, SUNDAY, 6 30 P.M Paris continues generally tranquil. A review of part of the National Guard, the Garde Mobile, and some regi ments of the line, by General Changarnier, took place to day in the Place Carrousel. It was observed on the occa sion that the cry of "hive la Republique !" was heard here and there among the line, but the National Guard was silent and cold. Cries of " Down with Cavaignac !" were heard from among the crowd which were present on the occasion. LONDON MONEY MARKET -YESTERDAY The English funds have given way per cent., but rather from the influence of sales for time than money, and without any addition of importance to our previous forebrn advices. It must be admitted, however, that much anxiety is felt concern ing the state of affairs in Germany. Consols from 84i to ft have dropped to 84 to 4. Exchequer Bills are 375. to 40s. prem. Bank Stock has been marked 184. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 83i to 84. The value of Mexican stock is supported at 19 , 2 to 2. Portu guese Four per Cents. have declined from 22i to 224. The Five per Cents. are 68. Spanish Three per Cents., 22. Dutch Four per Cents., 684 to 4. A moderate business is doing in foreign bonds, but it cannot be said that the market is active. LONDON SHARE MARKET YESTERDAY The share market is more depressed than ever. At one time London and North-Western stock was called 5 discount to par; Great Westerns, sellers, at 22 discount ; and the .el 7 share of this line have been done at 5i discount ; which is at the rate of more than .e3O discount per cent. ; Old North British, sellers, at 11 per share. We are more than panic stricken in shares. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YEsTERnAY A moderate supply of English Wheat was readily cleared off this morning at prices fully equal to those of last week, and a rather extensive business was transacted in foreign at full prices. The Flour trade was arm. Choice Barley was rather dearer, being scarce. Oats were a better sale, but no improve ment can be quoted in value. Beans and Peas much the same as last week. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARK ET.-YESTE RDAY We have a very large supply of beasts to-day, and the wea ther exceedingly nufayoui able for slaughtering; the dead markets are also very full. Choice Scots pretty readily make 45., but a great many second-rate beasts cannot be sold. The number of Sheep is not large, but the demand is so very limited, that prices are lower, except for a few choicest downs. There are not many good Calves on offer; late quotations are fully maintained. SOUTHWARK WATERSIDE TOTATC MARKET YESTERDAY The very wet weather the last three weeks has done consi derable injury to the Potato crop in Yorkshire and Scotland, and has also prevented shipping to any extent for the London market. The arrivals from the Continent are extensive, being upwards of 1,500 tons since our last report, all of which have met a ready sale. The following are to-day's prices : York shire Regents, 50s. to 140 s. ; Wisbeach Regents, 100 s. to 110 s. ; Scotch Regents, IOOs. to 1205.; Scotch Reds, 70s. to 905.; French Whites, 85s. ; to 955. ; Belgian Whites, 80s. to 90s. Mr. Whiteside's retaining fee in the case of Mr. Smith O'Brien was £5OO. The Hibernia sailed from Liverpool for Boston and Halifax on Saturday, taking a number of passengers, and the usual American mails on board. A PRIZE TO SIR R. PEEL.—At the Blackburn agricul tural meeting, last week, a silver medal was awarded to Sir R. Peel for his estates in Oswaldtwistle, as the owner, not being the occupier, who has laid down the greatest number of rods of stone or tile drains in the best manner. ATTEMPTAT ASSASTlNATlON.—Yesterday.whasta gen tleman, named Tyler, who arrived at Swansea on the pre vious evening, was walking on the sands, attended by his domestic, he suddenly pounced on the man whilst he was gazing at some distant object, and inflicted a serious gash near his neck with a knife. The gentleman is now under strict surveillance, and labours, it seems, under an aberra tion of intellect.—Cambrian. SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND SIR J. W. HOGG. A letter from Sir J. W. Hogg appears in yesterday's Times, in answer to that of Sir Charles Napier, the purport of which we give elsewhere. Sir James Hogg says that Sir Charles Napier's share of the prize-money will not fall far short of the sum there stated. He will have as his portion of the Scinde prize-money one-eighth of a spoil estimated at above half a million. "It is impossible," adds Sir James Hogg, " that it could have been meant that the money had been actually paid, it being miter of notoriety that no distribution had actually taken place." If the facts should turn out to be, as we presume, that it was in the perfect knowledge of every man who heard the expressions fall from Mr. Baillie that he was speaking of the Scindo prize-money, and equally so that the prize money had not been distributed, it is a straining of terms indeed to accuse either the speaker or his informant of " malignant falsehood." At the very utmost the " ma lignant falsehood" just means twit Mr. Baillie stated in the house, upon the authority of Sir James Hogg, that the distribution of the Scinde prize -money had taken place, when, in effect, it had not as yet been so distributed. Now, really, there is nothing in such a state of facts to call for all this blood and thunder, and giving of the lie. Sir Charles Napier has worn the sagum so long that he cannot reconcile himself to the peaceful habits of the costume of peace. lew works for the present I were frequent on the road from L NEW YultK, TUE The — Flour maike- was feeble to-d to a fair extent, including chiefly tt Increase.

LATEST FROM NEW YORK, ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA The North American Royal Mail steam-ship America, Captain John Leitch, arrived in the river last night at eight o'clock, having left New York on the 11th instant, and Halifax on the 14th. She has brought 94 passengers. The Cambria steam-ship arrived at Boston on the 6th instant, but her news had little or no effect on the New York markets. The steam-ship Herman, from South ampton, reached New York on the 4th. The intelligence that Mr. Corcoran had raised six millions dollars by the sale of United States six per cent. stock had a very good effect on the c ew York Stock Ex= change, and sensibly relieved the market. The New York Herald of the 11th says :—" We have made earnest inquiries about the condition and prospects or the Sea Island crop of cotton south. The result of our information is that there is a present prospect of fair crop, but no more than that. In other words, the last few weeks have wrought a great change. The rains on the coast below were very heavy until about the middle of August. They were heaviest in Camden, less so in Glynn, and generally the downfall decreased coming more towards the north. The succession of the intensely hot days following close upon these rains, or some other cause, has caused some appearance of rust, particularly in those regions where the rains were heaviest. These remarks are more particularly applicable to the main land. On the Sea Islands, so far as we can learn, the crop has generally done rather better than on the main. From the interior of Georgia we have some ac counts of rust, and there, too, though the prospect is still a tolerable one, the very bright promise exhibited four weeks since has been clouded.' Dates from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 20th ultimo, state that Santa Anna was at that place, and it was thought_he was preparing to return to Mexico. The Whigs seem to be getting large majorities in most of the states. M. Van Buren seems now to have a better chance for the presidency. The yellow fever has disappeared from New Orleans. Everything was quiet at Venezuela. In New Grenaca, all was goinz on prosperously. The Presidential election was going on, and• General Lopez had a large majority of the votes. Advices from California to the 4th July state that the American troops stationed at Fort La Pay were attacked a short time before by about 200 Senorians, and the fernier ion. Robberies os to San Fran- [he bands of the robbers were made up of Ame rican deserters and Indians, and were so formidable that the troops were sent out to hunt them. A man found two nieces of virgin gold near Francisco, California, worth 82,000. Accounts from the city of Mexico state that the country is now tranquil, and that Herrera's government was pro gressing finely. The recent gale at the Brazos was more severe than has been reported, and the island was, at last accounts, seven feet under water. The inhabitants were forced to seek refuge in the ships and transports then 1 0 the river. An insurrection has taken place at Tobaseor and a battle was hourly expected between 400 of Ole insurgents and 600 of the Government trsups. Advices from Yucatan [no date] state that a battle had been fought between the whites and Indians, in which the American company that recently went from NeW Orleans, was engaged. Six of the American officers are reported to have been killed. The result of the battle 11 not stated. From Guatemala, accounts had been received to the sth ult. From Izabal, the cap:tat, they write that the revolution had been effected, and that the power of Car rera had disappeared before the coalition against him, and that Guatemala, after so many years of inactivity, will once again have a legislative parliamentary assembly. The let ter from thence is very confused and vague in its terms . , therefore we cannot say when this change was to go into operation.

DEATH OF THE HON. AND REV. DR. WELLESLEY:" We regret to learn that, on Saturday morning last, the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Wellesley, rector of Bishopwearmouth, and one of the prebends of Durham Cathedral, breathed his last, at an advanced age, at his residence, in the Col lege, Durham. The deceased dignitary was a brother of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and has held his pre bendal stall, which was a very lucrative one, for man,' years. He has been gradually sinking for many months► but his decease was expedited by a fall which he expe rienced in his room on Thursday night. His death is lamented deeply by every one in the vicinity of his resi dence. His charities were extensive, and his mild and conciliatory demeanour won the respect and affection of all classes of the community. His stall will not be filled up, but the funds accruing to it will lapse, under a recent act of parliament, to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, fox cathedral purposes and the augmentation of small livings. Among the families placed in mourning by the melan choly event are those of the Duke of Wellington, Earl Cadogan, Lord Chelsea, the Marquis of Douro, and Lord Raven swort h.
