The Governor of Hongkong seems to be tax ing the people, and injuring commerce, with great vigour and assiduity. Consid. rable sensation has been caused by the pub lication of a government order for levying a quarterly assess ment upon the shops ud stalls on the island. This is a renewal Of the taxes on trades and professions specially abolished last year. A proposition of the Bench of Justices to abolish the practice of Sabbath labour by natives on public works, and indemnify the contractor for his loss from a" Municipal Fund" derived chiefly from the natives, has also been the theme of warm discussion. A new company, called the " Bombay Steam Navigation Company," had just been established 'or running steamers up and down the coast. The speculation, we think, is likely to drove a profitable one for th e p ro j ectors; and that i t i s highly eserving of support on public grounds, there can be no man- ler of doubt. mu the Chinese was going forward favourably, hoped that the negotiations for the final posses sion of ( husan will be attended with the best results.

TRIBUTE TO THE WORTHY.—The King of Prussia has commanded the houses of Luther and Melancthon to be purchased and converted into schools. He has like- wise ordered the doors of I uther's dwelling, which the French had in in a great measure destroyed, to be restored. They will be formed of metal, and richly embellished. POTATOES ON THE CONTINENT —The Colrgne Ga sette states that the potatoe malady has broken out in nearly all the cantons in Switze.rland. The Prussi n mi nister at Cebkritz has given pnmission to exp.)rt the po tatoes which are already on board the vessels of the Rhine. After the 3d of Oct., however, no further exports were to be allowed NEW ZEALAND.—The accounts from this quarter to the 3d of May state that another collision had taken place at the Bay of Islands between the natives and the troops, in which fifty of the latter (?) are reporter! to have been killed ; but Pomare, one cf the most mischievous of the chiefs, bad been captured, and was confined on board the Hazard, his entrenchments having been destroyed. The Paris papers announce three more elections for Deputies, in the room of those raised to the Peerage, at all of which the ministerial candidates were at the head of the list. In general the candidates supported by the Left have been far below their Conservative opponents. and even at Colmar, a town which strongly supports Radical principles, Conservative candidates only came forward. The Legitimati , ts everywhere cut a poor figure. Letters from Tahiti state, that the French Governor, Bruat, had sent a steamer to Queen Pomare, to induce her to return to Tahiti; but she refuses positively to speak to, or even to see, any Frenchman, unless Governor Bruat will re-hoist h r personal flag, which he had hauled down ; and this he refuses to do. if a French soldier passes near her she hides her face in her hands, in order that she may not see him. She has thus far restrained the natives from attacking the French, for the svke of peace ; but a rebel lion among them against the French authorities was daily expected. The native army is 8,000 strong. - THE RIVER PLATE.—Direct accounts from Buenos Ayres under date 27th July, arrived in the Channel con vict our brethren of the United States of grossly esagger stifle the intelligence received in Hampton Roads from the River Plate. The real position of the affairs was this. Rosas, allowed until the 31st of July to agree to or reject the ultimatum of the British and French Ministers, had not replied ; but, meanwhile, notice had been given to the Argentine squadron and to the troops ;under Oribe before Monte Video, that that city was under the protection of the allied powers, and that any act of hostility would be considered as directed against them. Opinions varied as to the decision Rosas would adopt ; but, though the scale inclined to a favourable view of the point, measures had been adopted to secure the safety of the British residents in the city. Tidings decisive of the question may he ex pected shortly. THE WEST INDIA MAIL.—The royal mail steam-shin Clyde arrived at Southampton on Sunday morning, with the usual mails from Mexico and the West Indies. The Vera Cruz advice , . received, reaching to the Ist Septem ber, do not differ from those brought by the Great West ern. The French Minister bad broken off diplomatic communication with the government, demanded his pass ports, and placed his alationel under the care of the Span ish minister; no declaration of war had been issued against the nited Slates ; the credit of the Treasury was at a low ebb ; the army of the north was in a state of ab solute destitution, and Paredes if not in open revolt, at least acted independently of the central government; Up per California h.d petitioned in favour of federation ; whilst the people displayed the greatest apathy in public affairs. The weather throughout the West India islands, though unusually hot, was healthy. and there was little fever. BUENOS AYRES.—We learn from a private letter from Buenos Ayres, dated the 26 h July, that Mr. Gore Ouseley and the French minister were still at Buenos Ayree, and would remain until the 31st to receive the final answer of Rosas to their ulti matum. In tie mean time, notice had been given to the commander M . the Bue nos Ayrean squadron off Monte Video, that he would not be permitted to move ; but the ship s h a d not b een se i ze d . as stated by former ad vices. Notice had also been given to General Oribe, who commands the army besi eg i ng Monte Video, that the town was under the protection of the English and French governments; and that any at tack upon it would be considered as an act of hostility against them. lip to the 26th July, Rosas was ap parently firm in his determination to refuse compliance with the demands made upon him ; but the writer of the letter, a gentleman of great sagacity and w th good sour ces of information, says, " Many circumstances, trifling in themselves, ihduce me to think that Rosati will not come to extremities, which must involve both himself and this country in ilastruction."—Manchester Paper. IRELAND Mr. Thomas Lloyd, of Beechmount, Rath is said to be a highly respectable Protestant gel.tleman, has sent in his adherence to the Repeal cause. The statement that a reverend gentleman connected with the Achill Mission bad robbed that establishment of £l5OO has been contradicted by the Rev. Mr. Nangle The Armagh Chronicle seriously announces that a ma near that town had subsisted forty-six days slightest nourishment ut the Mr. Linney, s.eward of the Rev. Mr. Butson of Clon fert, was shut dead on Tuesday night on his way home. The assa.sin remains undiscovered. Mr. Gregory, of the revenue police, and two of his men, were drowned in Athlone lake on Wednesday through the upsetting of a boat. Mr. G. was nephew of Viscountess Castlemaine. ORANGEISM.—On Tuesday, a very influential meeting of Orangemen was held at Armagh. for the purpose of organis ng the county, when the Society was placed on such a footing as to defy its enemies : Col. Verner was appointed Grand Master, Col. Blacker Deputy G.M. The "Lion" of Tuam seems to have got his neighbour ing town of Galway into trouble, as it is now very con fidently said that his cgnstant roaring against the godless colleges has frightened the Government from fixing one of them so near to him. The Limerick Chronicle gives an account of the partial poisoning of a child , and servant in a respectable family in the country by eating hide cake prepared at a con fectioner's, where it appears seve►al poisonous ingredients are used in the preparation of ,the external ornamental parts of such cakes. STATE OF WESTMEATII.—IO consequence of the rapid spread of agrarian disturbances in Westmeath, the lieu tenant of the county and magistrates have i.sued a notice stating that if the disturbances continue they will, with out delay, swear in a sufficient number of special consta bles to patrol with the police. THE ROMISH HIERARCHY OF IRELAND.—Dr. Crolly and Dr. Murray have determined upon sending Dr. Kennedy to Rome, to submit to the Pope the position of affairs in Ireland, and the manner in which the supreme authority of his Holiness, as represented in the person of Dr. Crolly, is set at nought by the agitators, Drs. M' Hale, Cantwell, &c. REORGANISATION OF THE ORANGE SOCIETY.—The Orange system is extending like wildfire throughout Ire land, and will soon be little short of an enrolment, en masse, of every loyal Irishman—we mean loyalty to the principles of the Protestant constitution—it being now generally believed that those principles . will soon again have to be contended for in England as well as in Ire land. IBBONTSM IN MAYO.—A party of five men have been arrested at Ballycastle, charged with ribbonism. One of the accused is a publican, and had one of the rooms in his house set apart for the meeting of the lodge. It is a very common thing to find publicans the leaders in the ribbon conspiracy. They make profit on the liquor con sumed by the wretched dupes whom they entrap, and it is supposed tbey not unfrequently play the part of Jona than Wild when more is to be made by their betrayal to the police. NEW STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.—We understand that a company, whose capital will be £500.000, has been formed to build an efficient class of seam-ships, to ply regularly between Bantry, Halifax, and New York, as a first step towards making Bantry a "acket Station and Naval De pot. In aid of the project the Lord of the soil has granted to the company a site for wharfs, quays, stores, offices, &c., at a nominal rent. It is proposed to perform the voyage from Bantry to Halifax in men days.—Cork Constitution. MR. O'CONNELL'S LOYALTY.—In his last Monday's Conciliation Hall oration, the universal defamer thus re spertfully informs his loyal auditors :—" The Queen — God bless her—has but a nominal authority. True, she has no responsibility ; but it is equally true that she has no direct authority —no, npr any indirect authority either, beyond the countenancing a baltue or undertaking a sea voyage. (Hear, hear.) If this is the way in which this fellow presume= to speak of the highest personage in the kingdom, the ladies of England 'iced scarcely be surprised at their being the objects of his more vulgar and not less vile scurrility. IRISHMEN THE WORST ENEMIES OF IRELAND. — Would that Irishmen would do " justice" t., Ireland. The closer do we examine her wants, the more do we be come convinced that the " misgovernment" of which she complains is the misgovernment of her own sons. The lanflords, for the most pirt, so misgovern their estates, that their tenantry are disheartened ; and the tenantry almost universally so misgovern their farms, that they do not produce one-third of the produce of which they are capable; while all unite in so misg , verning the natural capabilities of the country, that instead of being, as she might be, and as she ought to be, the richest and most prosperous, she is about the poorest and most neglected country in Europe.— The Times " Commissioner ' THE IRISH PRIESTIZOOD. — Mr. O'Connell in putting his negative on a state pension for the Irish Rornisti priests says " it would take one million per annum to give them a decent subsistence.' The Duhl n Mail well observes on this. that this " million per annum" which is to compensate for the voluntary contributions of their flocks lets us behind the curtains which studiously con ceal the incomes of the poverty-courting priests of a poverty-stricken people. Including curates and bishops there are abut 3000 secular Popish priests in Ireland. Dividing a million amongst them, the incomes of those bachelors would average about £330 a• year. The average of the married clergy of the Church of England falls short of £220. A CASE of CONSCIENCE. — In reply to a communica-• tion from the CJstlebar ltepealers inviting Air. O'Con nell to a public dinner in that town, he thus observes : "In reply to your favour of the 17th inst., I beg to in form you that I assent to the day you have named, the 12th of October. I should not have thought of naming Sunday, lest. I should derange any clerical functions, or interfere unduly with that day—but I have no hesitation in submitting to your nomination of it." Mr. O'Cot.nell will not we perceive originate a breach of the Sabbath, but if broken by others has no scruple to share in the sport. This method of sinning by proxy is as old as Popery itself. We thought Pascal had shamed it out of countenance, but semper eadem is the character of Rome. ----- MONSTER MEETINGS REVIVED.—Mr. O'CODDellthaS commenced another series of monster demonstrations in favour of repeal. Between 300.000 and 400,000 persons (according to Mr. O'Connell) assembled at Thurlts, on Friday week, who were harangued by the Liberator, in language, which was !t epetition of 181.3: -- ; . ‘ - ila; England (asked Mi. O'Connell) a lease of her present prosperity? If she have, it is from week to week—from day to day—from hour to hour (hear heir). Has England a lease of se curity from the continental states? Has England security from America?—(.' no, no.") The Queen of England and the King of the French mat kiss hands in a bathing-box, for aught I care, but this will not satisfy the people of France, and England is nut the more certain of her tranquility on that ac-ount (cheers). Europe has to be sure, enjoyed 30 years of peace, but the longer it lasts the less likely it is to be of longer continuance—its period of existence is fast wearing out, and as far as it is permitted to us to read human events from the experience of the past, we can predict that England will not long continue in prosperity—not long continue in peace with the maritime states cf Europe, especially with France, and certainly not with America (cheers). Let but one untoward event occur—one ripple appear to the wave of her prosperity--oneyear of manufacturing distress—one season of agricultural failure, as the present harvest threatened to be, and England is in trouble again. •4 Man's infirmity is God's opportunity "—even so—England's in firmity is Ireland's opportunity, Any one of the ten thousand events that may bring England into jeopardy is fraught with hope for Ireland (hear). In the cycle of seasons it may occur that four or five seasons of prosperity are followed by one of adversity. Let the cycle but come round for England (and it is coming fast), Ireland will have her own again, and England will be obliged to ask for that alliance which we are now ready to make—an alliance of separate states under the one Monarch, with our own parliament to protect us, as the sole source of legislation for the country (cheers ) _ . . IRISH MISERT.—The Irish correspondent of the Times gives the following lamentable description of what he witnessed a few days since at a place called Carramore, county Mayo.—" Some years ago, when the present pro prietor undertook the management of his estate, many parts of it were held in rundale, or joint-tenancy. This mode of tenure was formerly common. Some half dozen or more tenants took a portion of land on lease, and jointly and severally bound themselves to pay the rent. This was their only obligation. As long as they paid the rent they were left to themselves to do as they liked. As their numbers increased and their children grew up, they subdivided this land with their children, and built their cottages in a cluster, without the slightest attempt at re gularity, and without street or lane, crooked passages in and out between the cottages being the only means of communication with one another ; the only uniformity observed being that each cottage bad a filthy cesspool and dunghill close to its door. I lately rode on horseback through two of these villages, still held in joint. tenantcy, one named Carrowbeggin, belonging to a gentleman named Atkinson, and another named Balderig, still held in rundale Tease from Mr. Jackson. There was just room, with care, to ride my horse on the crooked pathway between the dunghills and cesspools. 1 went into one of these cottages. It had one room, no chimney, and a turf fire on the mud floor. Its furniture consisted of a bedstead with some hay on it, and one blanket, a deal box, and an iron pot. There were five children in it, so ragged that they were nearly naked, and two pigs, be grimed with the soil from the cesspool at the door. Ile mother was scarcely clad, and barefooted. Cottage, children, pigs, and n:o her were all equally dirty. No description can conv,4 an idea of such a collection of dunghills and filthy hovels. The people were all alike, wretchedly poor. , ad many of them had but an acre and a half of land io subsist themselves and families upon. They are per potually quarrelling and fighting with one another about their ducks and pigs, and about trespassing on one another's lands. POLITE LANGUAGE The Times " Commissioner" does not appear to be in favour with the spouters of Conciliation Hall. His expo sures of the real causes of Irish disorganisation and po verty, and the remedies to which be points, do not please the men who are anxious to persuade the world that Ire land's sole medicant is a Parliament in College Green. Actuated no doubt by something like the feeling of a con victed charlatan, Mr. J. O'C . ounrll recently ma d e use , at one of the meetings at Con ciliation Hall, of some insult ing remarks directed against the gentleman " commis sioned" by the Times, which has called forth the follow ing letter, which was read by the recipient at the weekly meeting on Monday last. " i!alesworth,sept. 25. " Sir,—l have this moment read in The Times of yesterday your dirty and unmanly remarks concerning The Times Corn misioner, and I do not lose one moment to tell you, that you are a liar and a blackguard. " I am, sir, your obedient servant, .. JOHN FOSTER. "John O'Connell, Esq., =i .P." Now whether the above is a genuine letter at all we are not informed. At all events the signature, " John Fos ter" is not that of the Times Commissioner, whose name is Thomas Campbell Foster (a gentleman for some years THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, on the estabiishibetit 0: the LIVERPOOL STANDARD) al though it may be that or i i:is father, Mr. John Foster, formerly editor of the Leeds Patriot, and subsequently of the Bolton Chronicle. if Of jbe hasty ebullition of the outraged feelings of a parent may be pardoned. But which Mr. J. O'Connell has thlii the same license cannot be extended to the to langua rt ge in which a short specimen is sufficient to establ ish the fa mily similarity of good taste between young John and old OA Drover reto, of Dan and the kind of audience which he was addressing :7 I n the first place, with respect to this letter, It WO dated from England, and he would wish to know if all his letters to The Times about Ireland were written in England alisc, foi if they were to judge by the information on matters of fact cot!. taitied in them, they might well presume he never saw this country. He would a , le what he had done to this civil gentle man—he would nut say handsome gentleman, for in his own country he had got the name of Ugly always' (laughter) — what had he done to call for such language?" CLERICAL, NEWS The Bishop of Calcutta is again recovered. The Rev. Mr. Ward, rector of St. James's, will be the new Dean of Lincoln. An aged churchman has sent the Bishop of Montreal 1£6,000 for the advancement of the church in his diocese ; the Bishop will apply it to the college founded at Len- NEW RECTORIEg.—The act of parliament for the divi sion of the rectory of Winwick having just come into operation, two new rectories have been constituted, the rectory of Newchurch, and the rectory of Lowton. The townships of Cuicheth and Kenyon constitute the former rectory, and are entitled by the act, " the distinct parish and rectory of Newchurch." The parish of Lowton em braces the townships of Lowton and Gilborne. The Rev. F. A. Bartlett, formerly the incumbent, is now rector o Newchnrch. wrimpammoma _ THE covivr 4- FASHIONABLE WORLD, Her Majesty is in a situation which cannot fail to excite the affectionate solicitude of her people. The Court is not expected to remain at Windsor beyond the end of this month. Prince Albert sprained his ankle on Saturday week through a stumble whilst coming down stairs. The Earl of Wilton's seat, Heaton Park, near Manches ter, continues full of company. The Earl and Countess of Sbe!borne joined the circle early in the week. And again— " Formerly, when electi-ns were carried by force of money, there was every sort of agent, from the law agent down to the gutter agent. It so happened also that they had every sort of commissioner, from the commissioner of the great seal down to a gutter commissioner. Now, he (Mr. O'Connell) honed that he might have influence enough with the press to have this fellow called the gutter commissioner.' (Cheers and laugh. ter.)" The insinuation that the letters of the Times " Com missioner" are written in England is explained by the fact, remarked upon above, that the letter quoted is the letter not of the Times Commissioner, but of his fa ther, who certainly dues seem to want that kind of politeness which men who have " vows in heaven" and noses to be pulled ought especially to strive for, and of which Mr. J. O'Connell does not seem to possess much. Mr. O'Connell's statement, that the Times Commissioner has acquired the cognomen of " Ugly always," is ridicu lous, for he is unquestionably what the ladies would calla handsome young man. Another portion of the worthy gentleman's speech we give for its drollery, and recommend to the particular no tice of our Bolton friends : _ . "One subject appeared to give him a vast deal of trouble— he could not at all relish the idea that the Irish were stouter and stronger fellows than the Saxons. lie (Mr. O'Connell)had suggested that he should get an Anglo-Saxon and a Milesian, and try which of them could give the strongest kick." (!) We never knew that tae superiority of stamina in na tions was determined by their power of kicking. If this be the Test, however, we fancy that we could find men in Bolton who would " purr " all the O'Connell family, or the members of Conciliation Hall itself. PERSONAL HONOUR The Cork Constitution furnishes, under the above head ing. the following sketch of a rencontre which took place in the " beiu , iful city " on the occasion of a " pipe water " meeting, which had well nigh been turned into a blood-letting battue ‘. Mr. DALY.—As the business of the meeting is over. f beg to say that my attention was drawn to a report of the proceedings of this committee at their previous meeting, which appears in the Consti tution, in which the Mayor was made to say that my conduct was ungentlemanly. Now, I beg to ask his worship, did he use the word ? " The MAyon.—l would rather you appealed to some other per son than myself. " Mr. Mar words. I hold yourself as the best authority on your own "The 111.trou.—People may be rather heated, and not be able to recollect their precise words. " Mr. DA LY.—Then you will not avow it ? Well, all I can say is this, that I did not hear you, and that if I did hear you, I would have taken notice of it on the spot. You need not be afraid that I would have called you lout, but this I tell you, that if I were a younger man than I am, Iwould. knock you down. " The MAYOR.— Now, what r say— " Mr. DALY —I would knock you down, Sir, for daring to pre sume to use such language to me. . _ _ " The MAYOR.—You may be sure, at your time of life, I would not do anything to hurt your feelings. " Mr. DALY.—You dare not do it with impunity. Do you with draw it? _ . . . The MATOR.—T don't knnw what— " 'Mr. DAI.Y.—I kr_wow, Sir, that I would not call you out; but if I was a younger man I would knock you down—l would knock you down. _ . "The M may say this, — "Mr. DA t7.—ln my opinion, you should either say you did not say it, or, if you did, you should withdra w it. The MAYOR —Whatever it was, I will not withdraw it. " Mr. DALY.—Do or do not, as you like. "The M AYOR.—You spoke of Mr. Jennings behind his back, " Mr. DALY.—And I had a right; and I am not afraid to speak Wore his face. " Mr. J ENNINGS.—You said that I refused to sit on a committee with you. " Mr. DALY.—And you did, Sir. " Mr. JFNNINGS.—I did not. " Mr. PALY.—You said it, Sir, in my own presence. " The MAYou.—And you said in Mr. Jennings absence that he was impertinent. _ _ _ "Mr. DALY.—And so he was, —and so he was. (Mr. Daly here retired ) "The MAYOR.—I was brought in here under the pressure of two gentlemen, and was then charged with intrusion. Mr. CA R mic uAEL.-I'm rejoiced that there's no calling out, " The MW —There's no fear that I'll go out now Thy " Lind of liberty " may rival, but certainly cannot excel, this exclisi'e sample of free discussion:, The repeal rent last week increased to £6OO, Seven hundred and eight y prisoners mere committed to Cork City Bride ell by the police, during the month of September. Of this number no fewer than 623 were drunkards ! During the corresponding month of the past year the number of drunkards committed to the same prison w es 314, showing an increase of 309 ! RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, The project of an Exchange in London, for the sale and purchase of railway shares, has been set en foot. Last week two trains took, from 13irrningbaat to Derby, 7,000 children, on a pleasure excursion. There were 112 carriages. Another train to the same point had 69 car- riaees. The directors of the Midland Railway Company have sent £l,OOO to the E,rl of Harborouzh, as compensation for the expense, trouble, and inconvenience they occa sioned his lordship on the late survey, &c., for the new line from Syston to Peterborough. THE REGENT'S CANAL.—The Regent's Canal has been purchased by a new railway company. The purchase money is £1,000,000, of which sum £500,000 is to be paid down, . nd the remaining £500,000 is to be paid in three instalments, extending over a period of three years. It is to connect the Great Western and London and Bir mingham and Eastern Counties Railway. The Whitehaven and Maryport Railway last week sus tained cotisid , rable damage at Micklt ham-point, between Lowca and hare ington, through a te)ring tide, assisted by a north west wind, having washed over the embankment. Several hundred yards of the crolankment and a tempo rary sea walling were swept away, arid sixteen or eighteen waggons, besijes trucks and harrows, severely injured. The Manchester and Birmingham Railway proprietors agreed at a meeting, on Tuesday, to confirm the amalga mation wiih the London and Birmingham. It was stated, in the course of the meeting, that there are no less than ten projects for making a more direct road from Manches ter to London, the estimated cost of which was £23,000,000 on which a deposit of upwards of £2,000,000 has been paid. NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.—The number of new schemes announced for the first time during the last four teen days, is seventy-nine; and the aggregate of their estimated capital is £81,535,500. We place these facts before the public, believing them to merit the serious consideration, not only of parties engaged in railway speculations, but of all men interested in the commerce and manufactures of the country. A KNOTTY POINT FOR THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.—The City article of the Tones says that many conjectures are afloat as to the mode in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will manage the payment of the deposits upon the new railway projects in the hands of the Accountant-General. The whole sum to be raised amounts to at least £30,000,000 sterling, or more than the whole circulation of the bank, and this large sum paid over at once would derange the whole currency of the country. It is also asked what the Accountant-General will du with it when he gets it into his hands. The wisest of the City men are said to be puzzled, end some fear that it will puzzle the Chancellor. A CAUTION TO RAILWAY SERVANTS.—At the Ed monton Petty Sessions, a clerk and a porter of the East ern Counties Railway appeared to an information, which alleged that, on the 7th September, whilst at the Totten ham Station, by the negligent performance of their duty, they did not remove, or cause to be removed, a horse box and passertgers' carriage, by which an engine, to which a train of passengers' carriages was attached. was forced off the rail, to the dan .er of the passengers and the danger of the engine. The defendants were severally fined in the mitigated penalty of 405., or three weeks' imprisonment, the highest penalty being £lO, or in default two months' imprisonment. REGULATION OF THE TRAINS ON THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.—Since the amalgamation or arrangement of the North Union with the Liverpool and Manchester line we should have imagined that some thing could have been done to remedy the annoyance caused to passengers by the detention of the trains to Man chester at the Parkside Station. If the Liverpool trains marked N. U. have always to wait twenty or thirty mi nutes at Parkside for the arrival of the North Union trains, there must be a remedy, by accelerating, or alter. ing the starting time of the latter. On Tuesday last we were ourselves driven to travel by the train leaving Liver pool at half-past ten o'clock, and did not reach Manches ter until nearly a quarter-past twelve o'clock, owing, in a great measure, to this detention, travelling barely four. teen miles an hour. A RAILWAY SCHEME.—As one sample of the charac ter of these new speculations, into which the public are so unanimously rushing, we may allude to a railway-scheme which, among fifty others, we lately saw advertised in the daily papers. It was for a line which we believe to be impossible, and wholly through a region wherein noth ing but poverty is found ; and among the leading names presented, we saw three, at a glance, of men who are commonly reputed to " live by their wits,"—one of whom had, within the last twelvemonth, passed through the In solvent Debtors' Court for the third or fourth time. These three leading projectors of a very costly railway, would be, we believe, quite unable to find £lOO among them, for the undertaking. What could we conclude, from the whole, but that the real object was, to get hold of the deposits of the public, in order to spend the money in lawyers' bills and " preliminary expenses "—Record. LAW INTELLIGENCE. GRANTING LEASES.—On the Ist instant, an Act of last session, entitled " Au Act to facilitate the granting of certain Leeses," came into operation. Leases for lands and tenements may now be made on a very small piece of parchment. The schedule of forms annexed to the Act shows the art of legal condensation. Payment for leases under the Act is to be made in reference to the skill, and not according to the extent, of the instrument. By an Act of last year, a de e d nee d not be " indented'_' at the top ; and the usual e x p ress i on , " thi s i n denture," has been changed to " this le.id." FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER f rom the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.". Various novelties have appeared in autumnal materials, in silks as well as woollens, the colours and designs suit able to the season. Stamped velvets on pekin or moire ground will form handsome redingotes. .Ne'gligis at this season are more elegantly made than later, en attendant the toilettes de soirees. Velvet is much used to trim the autumnal dresses; some of moire in myrtle greetr, or deep blue, have been made with biais of velvet, reaching above the knee ; the corsage with petit chdle of velvet, and deep cuffs on the sleeves ; black satin in this style is also ap proved. Bat4ge is fashionable for petit soirees. in white or pink ; even black is worn with three flounces ; the most elegant are embroidered with narrow velvet. White silk braid, intermixed with silver or gold, will be used on white crape or Grenadine dresses. Gimp still continues the most general trimming for negligees as well as robes de toilette; many are made up all ready to ornament the dress, forming lablier on the front. Bogies will be very fashionable this winter, and will be introduced in the embroideries and gimps used in dress. Very pretty bugle coiffures are also in preparation ; the crown enclosing the back hair, and confined by bands which cross the top of the forehead ; others called Cala lane, are made of bugles in mixed colours, giving the ef fect of precious stones ; others are all white or black, and will be ornamented with velvet, or a rose at the side. Various novelties are preparing for the coming season for coiffures, particularly in dress bats; and ostrich feathers, so little used of late years, will be much used. A novelty in caps are those of coloured muslin, trimmed with black or white lace ; they are of very fine organdy muslin, with patterns in pink, blue, lilac, having nceuds and brides of the same, trimmed round with very fine Valenciennes lace. Many little caps are also made of pink tulle, or crape with ruches of the same. Velvet bonnets will be of an open form, ornamented with a plume or two feather 8, of a mo derate size ; or a bunch of three small feathers the colour of the bovnet, and satin ribbon. The autumnal ribbons are of darker colours than those of spring, and are edged with narrow velvet stripes. Pardessus are now very fasnionable ; of slight silks lined, with colours, wadded and quilted in patterns ; some are trimmed with black lace, and made without any division in the waist in front. The new velvet manteleca are large, and cut out at the arm. SPO aIIA.VG 1N TEL LIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY, SEPT. 30.—The Trial Stokes of 10 sovs. each was won by the Duke of Bedford's Oakley, beating Energy and another.—The Hopeful Stakes, 40 soy.. each, (two-year olds), was won by Sir J. Gerard's Madcap, beating- Cuckoo and Chamois.—The Grand Duke Michael Stakes (for three-year olds), by Lord I.Ansd , de's Jerry, beating Has by a head, and others.—The Buckingham Stakes of 300 snvs. each, won by Colonel Peel's Samphire, besting Wit's-end.—The match for 200 sovs. was won by Mr. Payne's Collingwood, beating Prologue by a head. WEDNESDAY.—Moch, 50 soya. Colonel Pe-I's Garry Owen walked over.—Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each, (two-year oils), won by Mr. Shelley's Chandelier, beating Deer-Chase by half a length, and Nell Cook.— The St. Leger Stakes of 25 sors. each, (three-year olds), won by Lord Lonedale's b c by Jerry, beating Refraction and Attortity.-1:50, D.I. Lord 13entinck's Longitude, 3 yrs, walked over. DONCASTER RACES.—The attendance at these races during the week of their continuance has been immense. No less than 2,300 tickets for the Grand Stand (at one guinea each) were disposed of—a :lumber far exceeding any on record at these races. The demand for lodgings was proportionately larce; beds on Tuesday evening rea lising an enormous price. It is calculated that not less than £40,000 has been spent in the town during the races —a sufficient proof of their utility to the town. The cor poration give the sum of £l.OOO to the races ; of this £lOO or £2OO at the least is returned for unmet, not addrd to some of the stakes ; and from the Grand Stand alone they receive this year above £2.000 in return. GENERAL MISCELLANY Mr. Hudson, the lailvray king, has been appointed a deputy lieutenant for Durham. Considerable quantities of Portugal Grapes arrived in London last week. One vessel brought 1200 packages. Sir John Mordaunt, M.P. for the southern division of Warwickshire, died on Saturday week. During the last three months no fewer than nine new railway newspapers have been established. A class for female pupils has been opened in the York school of design. _ _ _ M. Thiers is daily expected in London. Apartments have been engaged fur himself and suite at Mivart's. The subcription for the testimonial to Geo. Hudson, Esq., M.P. amounts to £15,000. A canary, belonging to a gentleman in Wick, died the other day, after being nearly thirty years in the cage. On Monday week the summits of the more elevated hills of the Grampians were covered with snow. On Monday night, a quantity of valuable plate, worth upwards of £lOOO, was stolen from the buttery of St. Peter's College, Cambridge. Benson Hill, who was at harmonious and artistic actor, a facile writer, and some time editor of the Old Monthly, died lately, at an obscure abode in town, in penury. At the Thames police office on Friday, a respectable young man was fined 20s. for pulling the nose of a collector of tolls at the Poplar railway station. A man named Clarke, from Merthyr, was killed, a few days ago, by David Lewis, a lunatic, who beat him with a stone on the bead till his brains protruded. Nuts this seacin are a most abundant crop, but in consequence of the quantity of rain that fell during the summer, they are said to be very bad. The Andover-union inquiry has terminated, and Mr. and Mrs. M`Dougal, the master and matron, are to quit the place on Wednesday. A fine little boy, aged nine, son of an independent gen tleman, named Morris, at Luton, Bedfordshire, hanged himself, in play, from a bedpost, a few days since. SHAMEFUL lmeosrrtos.—lt is stated that the present price of plate-glass is ten per cent. more than it was be fore the removal of the large duty. A grant of £5(O has been obtained from government, by the National Society, to meet the expenses of an in quiry into the statistics of education among the children of the poor throughout England and Wales. CHILD MURDER.—William Hill, a glasscutter, of Hatton-garden, London, has been committed for trial, on a charge of having murdered a child, six months' old, which his wife had by another man. The death of the Marquis of Ely, and consequent elevation of his son, Viscount Loftus, to the Upper House, creates a vacancy in the representation of W.odstock. Mrs. Emma Beathcote, aged fifty-nine, a lady of fortune, who as on a visit from Cheshire to some relatives in London, died on 'Wednesday last, from a sudden and violent excess of grief on being informed of the death of a grandchild. The t tal number of foreign live stock of all descrip tions imported in the year ending Auzust 5, 1843. was 1.080 head ; in 1844, 1,745 ; in 1845, 9,786 ; yet English graziers are now realizing better prices than they did in 1843.—Mark-lane Express. By an ingenious fraud a notorious receiver of stolen goods, in London, was induced, the other day, by a gang of swindlers, to advance £4OO ou a quantity of plated watches, not half worth the amount. The rogues had themselves advertised the watches as stolen, and offered a large reward for their recovery. On Thursday evening se'nnight, on board a ship in the West India Dock, London, tour boys contrived to des patch amongst them in one hour three bottles of brandy. One boy was found dead in the morning, and another had a very narrow escape. It is a curious fact that there are now employed in the establishment of Mr. Cubitt, the engineer, persons of the name of Inch, Foot, Yard-ly, Furlong, and Miles, and they are all supporters of the " League ' to a certain de gree. On Saturday week, a daughter of the late Mr. Aulton, one of the town councillors of Nottingham, died rather suddenly ; and such was the effect of the sister's death on a little boy, not tour years old, that he expired the same day, from the effects of grief and fright combined. On the 21nd ult., the wife of a butcher named Baylis, at Gloucester, whilst washing some meat at a pump, stumbled and fell upon the point of a large knife, which penetrated her left breast, and the whole weight of her body coming upon it, entered her heart and produced im mediate death. _ _ The . personal property of the late Marquis of Down shire is sworn under £200,00.0, on which the enormous stamp duty of £4,050 was paid, being the largest amount ever paid in Ireland in any single case. The deceased died intestate. Had he made a will, a saving to his estate of £1,350 would have been effected, as, in that case, the stamp duty would have been only £2,700. IMPORTS OF FRUIT.—The arrivals of plums, at Hull, continue large, 1,244 baskets having been landed from th• Helen Macgregor, and upwards of 1,300 ditto from the Leeds. The Helen brought also 20 baskets and 10 boxes apples. The Victoria has also brought 1,159 baskets plums, and 5 baskets and 13 casks apples ; and the Eme rald Isle, from Rotterdam, 949 baskets apples and pears, 249 casks plums, 83 'caskets walnuts, 11 bags filberts, and 22 baskets pears. Lieutenant Leigh, R.N., nephew of the late Lord By. ran, has been, by sentence of court-martial, dismissed from the Stromboli steannr, and placed last on the list for two years, for abusive language and violence towards a seaman on duty. Mr. Nelson, the survivor in the late duel in India, has surrendered himself. He had gone down the river with a view of getting on board the Precursor, but having failed in his attempts, he gave himself up to the police. The grand jury had found true bills for the crime of murder against Nelson and the two seconds. A young man named Ralph Parker has died at New castle-upon-Tyne, through having been stabbed in the eye by a knife which a man named Selby Green was eat ing his dinner with at a cook's shop. Parker and some persons were foolishly plaguing Green, when the latter in a moment of irritation, inflicted the fatal wound. A waggoner has been killed at William's Hill, in Here fordshire, in showing off the power of his horses to come down a bill without being checked. The horses began to trot, and soon be lost all power over them ; he went to the head of the leaders, but could not stop them until they ran foul of a public-house on the wayside. The Eclair steam-sloop has arrived at Portsmouth, from the coast of Africa, having brought home invalided officers and men from the squadron. She has suffered most severely from fever, which has been exceedingly fa tal on board, having lost by death 54 officers and men. She is now under quarantine. It is reported that Com mander Eastcourt has fallen a victim to the fever, and that two medical menthave also died. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, OCT. I.—The supply of new hops on Saturday amounted to 18 pockets only, a much smaller number than was expected. The samples were of an ordinary character, and the few sold at £6 15s. per cwt. The crop has suffered by the bois terous weather of the last week, which has caused the duty to drop to £lO,OOO. Yearlings are in good demand at £6 10s. to £7 ss. per cwt. NEWSPAPER ENTERPRIZE AND. CAPABILITY. The Morning Herald of Saturday accomplished a feat which, as far as we know, is perfectly unparalleled in the history of the newspaper press. The publication of that morning consisted of 20 pages, and no less than 120 columns ! The seven previous impressions of the same spirited paper made an aggregate of 672 columns, of which 459 were ad vertisements in exceedingly small type. Such deeds ex cite admiration, and they deserve to be known for the en terprising spirit which they manifest. DISCOVERY or A SHOAL.—A letter received at Lloyd's from the master and mate of the brig Emily, of London, reports that they had discovered a rock and shoal in lat. 16 59 N, and long. 21 30 W, of which no mention is made in modern charts. The rock is about two feet above the level of the sea, about twelve yards long, of an oblong form, and of a grey colour. The shoal extended from the rock about two and a half cables length and one in breadth, running due east. The latitude and longitude were obtained by good observation at noon. ktertm PACE.—The following we extract from the Times of December 19, 1806:—" The first division of the troops that are to proceed by Paddington canal, for Liver pool, and thence by trill - pipers for Dublin, will leave Paddington to-day, and will be followed by others to morrow and Sunday. By this mode of conveyance the men will be only seven days in reaching Liverpool, and with comparatively little fatigue, as it would take them above fourteen days to march that distance. Relays of fresh horses for the canal boats have been ordered to be in readiness at all the stages." A NEW MODE OF PROPULSION. —Recent American papers note the launch of a steam packet-ship, the Vir ginia, intended for the coasting trade, to which submerged wheels, one on each side, near the keel, had been applied as the propelling power, and with engines of from sixty to to seventy horses power. The vessel is one hundred and fifty feet in length, twenty-three feet ten inches breadth of beam, has four masts, and will carry three hundred and fifty-three tons of goods; and, on an experimental trip, before the masts were rigged, with a full cargo, she ave raged nine miles and a half per hour. The action of the wheels was imperceptible. . Tux IRON TRADE.—The usual preliminary meeting of the ironmasters of Sonth Staffordshire, preparatory to the general quarterly meetiugs was held at Dudley on Thursday last, and was very numerously attended. The actual business resolved itself into a confirmation of the late advance of 20s. per ton upon bar and other sorts of manufactured iron. It was, however, apparent that al though prices were thus fixed, there was a very strong feeling that another advance would short) , take place, owing to the immense demand for railway iron ; and s , me of the largest ironmasters present expressed their deter mination to limit sales at the existing rates. Most of the ironmasters complain of being too full of orders. OWDEN GREAT HORSE FAlR.—This annual horse fair, one of the most considerable in the kingdom, has been numerously attended during the past week. First rate hunters and carriage horses were looked after with great avidity, and quickly exchanged hands at very high prices; and those of a secondary description were in great demand and sold well. Some of the best horses were purchased in the etal;les at prices varying from £lOO, £l5O, to £2OO. For several years past horses have not been known to fetch such high prices. Mr. Burton, of Fulford, sold 15 first rate horses at prices varying from £lOO, £l2O, to £150; he has also purchased Little John, the celebrated racer, of Major Yarburgh. The demand for English horses still continues in Prussia and Germany. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A gentleman, whose name is Francois Gavoisier, 62 years of age, and said to be a colonel in the French army, was reacted out of the river Thames, near St. Katherine's Dock, on Tuesday. He had plunged into the stream and sank twice before he could be booked by his clothes. Whilst his deliverer, a man named Miller, was attempting to get him into a boat, he discovered something projecting fi on) his left side, and called out " he has a knife in his body," at the same time pulling frcm it a dagger with which he bad stabbed him self before be had precipitated himself into the water. The blood forthwith oozed from the wound, and Miller called for more aid, which was immediately rendered, and the gentleman was laid in the bottom of the boat. He had no sooner recovered himself than be attempted to seize the dagger which Miller had thrown aside. He was removed to the hospital, and was soon visited by his wife and daughter. NAVAL DEFENCES.—It is ridiculously shameful that such an important place as Sheerness should be left in a condition of utter defencelessness—a condition which we fear is not sing , lar, for several of our harbours are in so wretched a condition that a French frigate might easily carry away or burn two or three of the unprotected vessels that might hapeen to be laying there. A week or two ago a French ship of war paid a visit to Brighton, with the real or pretended object of examining the break water. One piece of artillery, sadly out of order, is said to be the only safeguard of the place, as at Sheerness the other day there was no available protection at hand, had it been required, but the " one gun" on board the Monotaur. Coals and water may have been really the object of the two French steamers in putting in at Sheer ness, but as the officers went on shore and inspected the dock-yards, they can scarcely have faded to bave picked up information which might be of use to them on the oc casion of some future visits, which would perhaps have some darker and deeper design than coals and water. ANOTHER FEELER.—The town of Bridport has been visited several days during the past week by a Romish priest, Or other order of that Church), dressed in canoni cal habit of gown and cap of peculiar shape, which, with an immense beard, rendered his appearance an object of curiosity—to the juveniles in particular, who followedhim about the streets. He is said to be a Spaniard ;if so, lie is not a bad specimen of one of the • Holy Fathers." He is doing duty at a Popish mass house in the neigh bourhood, during the absence of the stated priest on a visit to Ireland. There was a time when Romish priests appearing publicly in their habits in the streets of Eng land caused a monarch to abdicate his throne—his sub jects seeing the drift of the attempt. Is this exhibition a feeler at the present time ? Popery is straining every nerve to regain its long-lost supremacy in this country ; end it is a well-known fact, that his holiness (?) the Pope still lays claim to every portion of the Church property in Great Britain and Ireland ; records of which are care fully preserved in thecabinet of the Vatican for afteure day. MISERY.—On Saturday week, an inquest was held on the body of a female at Huddersfield, aged 53, who, ac cording to the verdict, had died from want of the neces saries of life. The body presented a most emaciated spectacle. Previously to her death the place where she lived bad not been swept out for a period of about six months ! Not a single article of furniture was to be seen. In one corner of the room was a small heap of dirty shavings, which the miserable being had used for her bed, and its only covering was the filthy rags with which she covered herself during the day. She pro tracted her existence by begging, and she had lived in this dreadful state ten months. A cup of tea in the morning and evening, with a crust of bread, appears to have been her daily food. She had been repeatedly urged to go into the Poorhouse, She had, however, twice been there, but both times bad ran from it, and since she had never applied for parochial relief, and but for the charity of some neighbours must have expired long since, and latterly she had been afflicted with asthma. The house, if such it may be termed, was occupied by a t m w a e n nty na y m e e a d rs Samuelhas bee n W a a I c k o e m r , p l w e t h e o w i a s lk a i n n d g f n e u r is t a h n e c e l , a s i t t being firmly believed, by hundreds who have seen him, that during that period he had never washed his person ; and until he was forcibly removed from the place, he had frequently boasted that his house had never been cleaned for seventeen years ! his bed being th e as he s f rom un d er the grate, and a tin can for his pillow. Had not these facts been proved before the jury, it might be reasonably doubted if the whole were not an exaggerated romance. LEAGUE VOTE MANUFACTURING.—A case has just come before the revising barrister for the West Riding of Yorkshire, which exemplifies the industry with which the League have been pursuing their vocation of vote manu facturing in that, and doubtless in other parts of the country. An opposition was offered by the . Conservatives to the vote of a Mr. Joseph Bottomley on the ground that the mode in which he acquired his vote came within the statute 7 and 8 William 111, commonly called the split ting act, which declares that all conveyances "in order to multiply voices or to split and divide the interest in any house or lands amongst several persons, to enable them to vote at the election of members to serve in Parliament, shall be void and of non-effect, and that no mora than one single voice shall be admitted for one and the same house and tenement." The qualification for which Bottomley claimed was one thirty-fifth part of some land and cot tages attached to the mill of a manufacturer and leaguer named Crossland, which had been purchased by Bottom ley and thirty-four others, for the purpose of securing votes. Through an agent of the League each party had paid £4O and the cost of conveyance of the property ; and having done so they leased it back again to Crossley for the term of fifteen years. The revising barrister, Mr. Harden, decided that the case of Bottomley did not come within the statute pleaded and allowed the vote. The League therefore gain thirty-five active supporters by this merely colourable transaction. How are Conservatives to fight against such tactics except with the same activity and the same weapons ? Oct. 7, 1845. ________---- °le ° I An occurrence of a melancholy clisracter too.

THE STATUE OF CROMWELL—A. great deal of. „moll sion has lately taken place in the metropolitan be la• as to whether a statue of Oliver Cromwell ought t ° , tolA eluded amongst the sovereigns of this country ah,l, e cor placed in the new Houses of Parliament. A Be"' of respondent of the John Bull, under the slign3tare " Anti-Regicide," writes as follows re "SI rt,—With reference to 'the frivolous discussion, be tO aptly term it ' about Cromwell's statue,' I do not reele n clo sife have seen any notice of a fact which appears to ti n e elA° jo titl in the negative.
