COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MONEY MARKET. Car, WurmsDAY EVENING.—Money continues so very easy upon the Stock Exchange, that large amounts of stock, which continues very scarce, have been borrowed for the ac count, producing again a backwardation, as during the early part of the day Consols for money were quoted at 94i and 94 . for account. Large purchases of stock have also been made by a great portion of the London and country bankers, in addition to which the government commissioners have laid out £20,000 sterling in Reduced Annuities at 934, £lO,OOO of which was on account of the.savings' banks, and the other moiety to be converted into fixed annuities.

SAWYER AN, OTHERS. This case was tried at the last Liverpool assizes before Mr. Justice Williams, and was brought by the plainti ff , one of the registered o ffi cers of the North e rn 'Central Bank, to re cover on certain promissory notes made by a person named Smith, and indorsed by the directors of the Birmingham Drapery Company, in which the defendants had been share holders. The claim was resisted on the grounds that the members of the company had not authorised the directors to make the indorsements, and that they could not be consider ed in the light of ordinary prtners, and that, even if a partnership had existed, the notes were made after it had been dissolved, and therefore it could not be considered a partnership proceeding, but only as the individual act of the directors themselves. A verdict was found for the plaintiff, subject to the above objections, and Sir W. Follett to-day moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and have a new trial granted. The Court granted the rule. Mr. Alexander obtained a similar rule in a case against a different defendant, but arising out of the same circum stances. COURT OF EXC EQU ER.--WEDNESDAY. (Sittings in Banco.) PIMA! V. CARROLL. • Mr. CR'ESSIVELL said that this action was bronght to try the right of ferry on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, be tween Liverpool and Birkenhead. The action was tried before Mr. Just ice Vaughan, at the late Chester assizes, when a verdict or nominal damages was found for the plaintiff. The learned counsel now moved for a rule to show cause why this verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted on the ground of misdirection of the learned judge, and also of being against evidence. The plaintiff claimed under charter, or licence, granted to the prior and convent of Birken head, and claimed that the ferry extended to the whole of the lands then in possession of the priory, which included tye whole of the now flourishing town of Birkenhead. Twenty years ago it consisted of only the ferry house and three cot tages for the ferrymen. Now it had a population of some thousands, many of the merchants of Liverpool preferring to live on the Chester side of the river in order to avoid the smoke of the town. The licence was recited in and con firmed by a charter Trona Edward 111. It remained in pos session or the priory till the time of Henry VIII., when it was conveyed to a family named Worsley, under whom the present plaintiff claimed. Many years ago another ferry was set up, called the Woodside Ferry, and the defendant having purchased a portion of the soil of the same landlords nuder whom the plaintiff claimed, about half-way between the old l'erry and that of Woodside; he also set up a quay and built a ferry, for which the present action was brought. At the trial the defendant proved by living testimony that for a period of 71 years the Liverpool boats had plied for hire on the ferry—that the original ferry had a small run into the water which belonged to the terrytnen—t hat he prevented the Liverpool boats lauding on it which were not ferried by himself, but did not prevent then, landing on the shore. He afterwards charged a penny for landing at the wharf, but the farmers of Cheshire refused to pay this demand, and an action was brought to try this right, when the presentriefend ant was nonsuited. The learned counsel contended that the crown had given nothing hut a permissive power to the prior, as was proved by the charter speaking of the existence of a ferry before that time. Also that the crown had no power to grant HO , xtensive a privilege on a mile of coast; and, further, that the corporation had thrown the ferry open to any one who did not land at or interfere with the original landing-place. Rule to show cause granted. • BROWN V. GODDARD. Mr. COWLING moved fora rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial in this case, or for a reduction of damages. The action was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson at or;:, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff of damages to the amount of £316 7d. The action was for breach of covenant on a deed of separation. The parties were pro prietors of the Hull Packet, of which newspaper a gentleman named Quin was editor. Mr. Quin had a salary of £3OO, and at the end of the first year he was to be admitted a part ner or to receive £5OO. As he was not admitted a partner, he brought the action and recovered both the sums named of £3OO and £5OO. The proprietors separated in the year following, and the defendant having refused to pay his por tion in the action brought by Mr. Quin, the plaintiff pro ceeded against him and obtained a verdict as stated. The defendant paid MO into court as his share of the £3OO, and pleaded that he bad been willing to admit Mr. Quin as part ner, hut the plaintiff refused. The principal question was whether the defendant should be held to be liable fora part of the £SW, and, if so, as he allowed judgment logo by de fault, whether he ought to pay any of the costs? If not, the damages would Le reduced to £sBo.—Rule niai granted. HuasFaLL P. PIII AND OTHERS. Mr. At.sx ANDER moved for a rule to set aside the verdict In this case, and to have a new trial. The plaintiff, it ap peared, bad been applied to by the Cork Steam Packet Com palsy, to September, 1836, to make two marine engines for a vessel then in process of building at the ship yard of Messrs, Russell, at Liverpool. After some time the Cork Steam Packet Company wrote to inform the plaintiff that they had sold the engines to the St. George Steam Packet Company, and that they were to be supplied to them accordingly. The plaintiff, in answer, said that he had no objection to do so, but he wovid look to the Cork Company for the payment, as he had receivi'd the order from them. When the engines were tried in the vessel, it was found that they failed in per forming the pri,per wory, and it then appeared that Messrs. Russell had furnished fhe plaintiff With the wrong itraft,of the vessel. In answer to the application of the defendants to have 11101's principle introduced into the engines, the plain tiff said that he could not do so, as it was contrary to the contract with the Cork Company. The defendants, there tore, had to ina:,e that improvement at an expense of £2JOO. and it also cost them £750. to raise the height of the engine —an exp.n.e caused by the mistake in the draft furnished by the ship-builders. The defendants paid three instalments, but on the fourth instalment being called for, they refused payment on the ground of the extra expense they had been put to to make the engines perform the necessary work, and especially as they had nothing to do with the error in the draft furnished by the ship-builders. The learned counsel submitted, that as the plaintiff had himself stated that he would look to the Cork Company for payment—and as the defendants had no claim on the ship-builders for the error in the dratl, not having made the contract with them, they were justified in retasing the payment, as the Cork Company alone bad a remedy ae•ainst the Rule to show cause granted. BARNSLEY V. 741`CLELLAINID. Mr. AI.Ex.iNDER said this ease was also tried at the last Liverpool assizes, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff to the amount of £1493 damages. The learned counsel said bis application was for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial granted, or that the damages should he reduced. It appeared that on the 4th of February the defendant wrote to the plaintiff at Savannah, Ordering a certain quantity of cotton, but, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the market, the defendant again wrote on the 7th of Feb. (three days after the first letter,) countermanding the order. The plaintiff, in answer, said that the countermand came too late, and that the cotton had been purchased ; and he drew, accordingly, on the defendant for £l5lO. Whea the cotton arrived in this country it was arranged that the cotton should he sold by the defendant, and it produced £961. At the trial evidence was put in by the plaintiff to prove that the first letter was marked as having arrived at New York on the 17th March, and the second one on the 22d, but the learned counsel submitted that distinct evidence ought to have been given as to the dates of the ar rival of the letters at Savannah. On the other point, as to the reduction of the damages, it was admitted by the witnesses for the plaintiff th a t s i x of the bales were purchased to make up the amount of the draft for £l5OO after the arrival of the second letter. The Counr thou4ht that the jury had good; presumptive evidence of th e secon d letter beiuw, too late; but as to the re duction et' dama ges, t h ey were of op;nion that the verdict should be reduced to the extent of the value of the six bales. Rule granted accorditilv. CANNIRALISAI EXTRAOHDINARY.—At alate eleetion a bill, of which the following is a copy, was delivered by a landlord to the agent of one of the candidates:—Ltem.

STEAM COMMUNICATION FROM IRELAND TO AMERICA. The voyage from England to America by steam not hav ing been accomplished when the railwaycommissioners were appointed, they were specially instructed to inquire into the subject of a steam communication between some Irish port and America. They have accordingly reported at consider able length on the various points connected with this ques tion; but after the successful accomplishment of that voyage which has now taken place from England, it is needless to refer to more than one or two of the commissioners' obser vations. In considering the best port for steam communi cation with America, Tarbert, on the Shannon, is the only port which the commissioners consider likely to compete with Cork for that purpose; and as it would render neces sary an extension of 30 miles of railroad (from Limerick), while it is only 46 miles to the west of Cork, they think the latter would, upon the whole, be the most advantageous. If the railway from Dublin to Cork were executed, the journey from London to Cork would be performed iu 29 hours (al lowing 2) miles per hour for railway - travelling) ; which, as it would save two or three days to the mails and passengers from London to America, the commissioners imagine would secure the conveyance of the London mails to be established by that route. From Glasgow and Liverpool one or two days might be saved in like manner, while the facility would be still greater, and the expense proportionally less of joining the vessels at Cork. The commissioners suppose the usual course would be, that the steam-vessels making. this voyage should take in the bulk of their cargo, fuel, &c., in Great Britain, and then touch at Cork for the mails and the re mainder of their passengers, cargo, fuel, and other sea stores. Bristol is the only British port which offers advantages nearly balancing those of Cork. From London to Bristol by rail way, and thence by sea to Cork, would require about the same tune, ora little more, than by the proposed railway to Cork, but the former route would be more subject to occasional de lays from adverse wind and weather. Although, therefore, passengers and letters from London and the South and West of England might be conveyed to America nearly as quickly and conveniently from Bristol as from Cork, yet, from Liver pool and all places north of it, the journey to Cork would he as short and easy as to Bristol, while the former port is one or two days' voyage nearer to America. And even the Bristol vessels would probably find it their interest to touch at Cork for passengers from the North, and to complete their fuel and stores. If a line of packets were established for the convey ance of mails and passengers.alone, in which case the short est distance would be the great consideration, the commis sioners think that Tarbert, on the Shannon, might perhaps be the most appropriate port for that purpose.— Limerick Standard. I'HE NORTHERN YACHT STEAMER. (From the Shipping Gazette.) Our North Shields correspondent has transmitted- us the following, furnished to biro for the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette by Mr. Reay, the only survivor on board the ill-fated vessel:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE SHIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE " St n,—As it is now apparent our worst fears respecting the safety of this vessel are realized, I feel myself called upon, in consequence of the many contradictory rcports in circulation ai to the vessel at the time I left her, to ttate the whble cir cumstances, as far as they came under my observation..

In the best cabin, a fe male about 30, a gentleman about 60, and two others about 35 to 40 years of age. The crew, I believe, consisted of the captain, mate, engineer, two stewards, stewardess, _four fire men, and three seamen. "On crossing Tynemouth bar the sea was remarkably smooth, but as we proceeded northward the wind increased, blowing fresh from about the W., and the sailors seemed to doubt the practicability of my leaving the vessel until her ar rival at Leith—the sea progressing to rise. ,When off Coquet Island, the captain said he would sheer close in with the land and there would be no fear of my getting out. In nearing North Sunderland a flag was hoisted, and when opposite that place, about two o'clock four pilots came off and took me on shore in a coble, at no further risk than the getting thoroughly wet, which we did. In my conversation with the crew they spoke in unlimited terms of commendation of the vessel iu every respect, and when I left her the master and some of the passengers were below dining, there being no apprehension whatever of danger, the vessel proceeding (in all respects in good order) at about the usual rate at which steamers go when they have a lift of sea to contend with. I can only add, that had my direct business not led me to disembark at the pace and period I did, there was no cause or apprehension of fear whatsoever in existence to have induced we to leave the vessel on her then intended passage to Leith.

Disc ItACEFUL Patzi FlGHT.—Another of these disgrace ful exhibitions took .place last week on the borders of Buck inghamshire and Oxfordshire, between a notorious pagilist named Flannan, and a novice called Walker. After the men had knocked each other about for more than an hour to the infinite gratification of a large crowd of thieves and other ruffians, the "sport" Was interrupted by the arrival of two magistrates; but these gentlemen, instead of taking the offenders into custody, merely compelled them to move into the adjoining county, where the fight was renewed, and lasted another hour. Both the blackguards were dreadfully dis figured, especially Walker, the loser of the fight; scarce a feature of his face could be seen from the battering which it had received.

THE MunnEa NEAR GLOSSOP.—We noticed in the Gear. diets of Saturday last, the fact of the apprehension of a man On suspicion of being concerned in the atrocious murder committed on Wednesday morning, at Cold Harbour, near Glossop. The coroner's jury. at the inquest on Friday morn ing, returned a verdict of wilful murder against some per son or persons un known. Blocksage was theiefore discharged from custody, together with another man who had been ap prehended. The body remained without being identified until Saturday evening, when three men who came to view it (having heard the description of the deceased) stated that they knew the body to be that of a man named Thomas Manning, or Manain. an Irish labourer, recently employed on the North Midland Railway. Upon hearing this, Mr. Sheppard, the constable, on Monday morning, went to Ro therham, and found out where the deceased had lodged. He was informed that the deceased had been persuaded to leave his work on the railway ; and he would probably have about twenty-five shillings in his possession. He went off in com pany with a man named Michael Mooney, about 40 to 45 Years of age, rive feet six or seven inches high, stout, with a boil on the right cheek, and a tooth wanting in front. Mooney wore a black woollen hat, dark ground round jacket, knee breeches, dark grey stockings, and strong shoes. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Glossop was covened for Mon day evening, for the purpose of offering a suitable reward for the apprehension and conviction of the party or parties con cerned.in the murder. Owing to some negligence, the Man chester, police had received no official intelligence of the murder.- Manning is stated to have been native of Crooken Hill, near Philip's Town, King's county Ireland.—Mon chester Gucirdian.

For there arc many counties and many boroughs, let it be borne in mind, respecting which there can he ❑othing to re port. More than half the counties of England are now no longer the arenas of political contest. In South Derbyshire, for instance, South ShrOpshire, East Norfolk, South Essex, North Lancashire, Westmoreland, Oxfordshire, Notting hamshire, Leicestershire, East Kent, and several other counties, in which the conservatives are in quiet possession, nothing of the least consequence has been transacted. The radi s and whigs have resigned themselves to their fate; and the whole business of the registration has subsided into mere routine. In one or two other cases they have been active, but without any important result. They claim in the county of Huntingdon, an advantage of about 100 by this registration. They were in a minority at the last election of nearly 400. In North Shropshire they also claim a small advantage, without, however, having the smallest chance of gaining even one seat. In the boroughs they have better luck; but the drawing on their gains here is, that they merely triumph in a few select places, which were constructed to be, and always will be, Whig or Whig-radical preserves. At ksliton, for instance, and at Manchester and Huddersfield, they have profited slightly by the registration. At Liverpool and at Preston neither patty gained anything of the least consequence. In the great boroughs, such as Birmingham, Finsbury, Lambeth, the Tower Hamlets, the registration bad no: results whatever, as far as the character of the consti tuency was concerned. Let us now, however, proceed to state such results as may appear to be worth putting down, beginning with the COUNTIES. CONSERVATIVES. REFORAIERS. Objects. I Claims. Objects. I Claims.

FROM THE COURIER BELGE, OCT. 28, 1838.—(Docks public storehouses apropos of the Thames Haveu.) The ad vantages of railroads are beginning to be understood in Bel ium and on the continent generally, especially as relates tr, the increased circulation of money, which the carrying trail affords; and the very important undertaking of the Thuile Haven Dock, at the mouth of the Thames, of which ou readers have already had an opportunity of estimating (hi, incalculabe advantages to the Belgian commerce, which in a manner acquires the monopoly of the importations and ex portations of the continent by the addition to its tailroads. If Belgium cannot yet rival the foreigner, we may console ourselves in seeing the establishment of the Thames, which in a manner forms the link that unites the commerce of the continent with England, at the same time that it joins the Ostend and Antwerp railroad with the London. The forma tion of this establishment appears to us of so indisputable an advantage, the benefits resulting from it to Belgium so self evident, and the future prospects of this speculation, consi dered in a financial pointof view, so certain, that we think it probable Our government will profit by the opportunity, and possess itself of a part of the unretnaining unappropriated shares; we shall, at all events, take care to keep our readers informed upon this subject. SPEAKING IN CHI: MM.—An unusual incident occurred a few Sabbaths ago during public worship in a church in one of the sea-poets on the Clyde. The clergyman was .reading a portion of Scripture early in the forenoon service, when he was interrupted by a voice calli ng , " 'Haul in it sheet there!" The attention of the congregation was, of course, directed to the quarter whence the voice issued, where a sailor lad was discovered fast asleep in one of the views. Haul in ! haul in !" continued the mariner, with increasing vehe mence, when he was awakened by the church officer, who beckoned him to the door, whither he followed him, looking bewildered and affronted. He there expressod his sorrow for the interruption he had unconsciously occasioned ; and, under the apprehension that the people would think he was intoxicated, was desirous of returning. He stated, what was. perfectly true, that his vessel had arrived in port that morning, and that he had slept none during the past night, and very little on the two previously. Much to his credit, he added that his mother had charged him, at whatever port he was on Sabbath, that he would be sure to attend the church, and that he was in the habit, of strictly complying with her injunctions. The officer.advised him to go home and sleep till the afternoon, wlio he !night return refreshed, which he did. Subsequent inquiry proved that the sailor is a steady rewirectable young ms.u.—Sccitii4h Guardian. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY (From the Bangor Chronicle.) On Saturday week, several lauded propriet•irs, merchants,. and tradesmen of Anglesey s nd Carnarvonshire, met at tbe Penrhyn Arms Hotel, Bangor, to hear Mr. Giles's report - on the eligibility and expence of forming a railroad from' Ches ter, -via Bangor, to Holyhead. The weather was most fem. pestuous ; atri many gentlemen, residing in remote districts, were prevented from attending, yet su great is the interest taken in the project by all classes, that the spacious 'room was crowded. A►::ong• those present tve noticed Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley„ Ba►t.; W. 0. Stanley, Esq., M.P. for Anglesey; Joh❑ Jervis, Esq„ M.P. for Chester; Admiral Carden, the Very Rev, the Dean of Bangor, John Williams, of Treffos., • 11 --- if• Carnarviin,.and Chester) ; Capt. Le w i s Hampton, I en. ys; Edward Case, Esq., Treborth ; Rev. J. Hamer. Seu., Vicar; G. B. Granville" Esq.; James Wyatt, Lime Grove, Esq.; Thomas Goddard, Esq.; John Hughes. Esq.; Thomas Wit. hams ' of Bryn, Esq.; Rev. James Vinc en t, G oi ddinog ; Rev. H. Price, Vicai of Bangor; Captain Jones, Holyhead; - Captain Gray; Dr. Prin g ; Robert Williams, Fron Deg, Esq.; Surgeon John Roberts; - Mr. Henry Bicknell; Capt. Price; Mr. R. M. Griffith; Mr.-. Robert Pritchard, post master; Mr. Win. Shone ; Mr. Grindley; Mr. R. Williams; Mr. Rathbone; Mr. Jones, Bryminor; Mr. Denman; Mr. Fisher; Mr. Win. Fisher, &c., &c. Communications were received from Holland Griffith, Esq., Carreglwyd; Rev. H. Wjnne Jones, Llantrisant ; John Price, Esq., Pias Codnant ; .and several other land proprietors highly approving of the measure. Mr. Giles's report and explanatory statement was listened to with profound attention, and gave great apparent satis faction to the meeting. The report commences by observing, amid the general activity that has prevailed in the projection and construction of railways fur improved communication between England and Ireland, One of the most important is still in abeyance, that for forwarding the mails and passengers from London and Dublin, by the aid of an improved sea voyage to Dublin. Various plans have been proposed. One Ely railway from London to Chester, and thence to Flint, Conway, 'Bangor, and Holyhead, and ,by sea from Holyhead to Dublin. A - nother by railway from Loudon to Shrewsbury, and thence to Llangollen, Bala, Barntouth, Portmadoe, and Portdynllaen, and by sea front the latter place to Dublin. A tiiird by railway from London to Liverpool, and by sea from Liverpool to Eiubliu. Parliamentary authority has been granted for completing a railway from London to Chester, to which place, put suing the line of the Grand Junction Railway, the distance front London is 181 miles, but it is confidently expected the Sa.uctien of parliament will be given to the Rua) , and Stone Junction j Railway, whereby the distance f:Mn 'London to Chester will be reduced to 178 miles. Adopting .tlierefore this latter course to within three miles of Chester, the remaining dis-s tance to Holyhead will be .87 miles, making the total dis tance from London to Holyhead 262 miles, from whence the sea distance is to Kingstown 63 miles. The country between Chester and Holyhead will afford planes nearly horizontal for 60 miles; 1 in 250 for three miles, and nothing steeper than lin 333 nir the iemaining 21 miles. The engineering diffi culties are by no means formidable on this line—in fact, up to Conway, a distance of. 46 'miles, very easy ; at Conway it is supposed to cross the river by means of a new bridge, to be erected above the site of the suspension bridge—a short tun nel in passing the town; at Penmaen Mawr and Penmaen Bach, two other tunnels will be necessary—one about a mile, the other three fourths of a mile in length. After passing these to go to South of Bangor to Menai Bridge. There it is proposed to draw the carriages over by a rope to be worked by a.stationary engine, after having detached the locomotive —thus mongrelizing one railway of the bridge, leaving the otherstill open for the road traffic. From the Menai Bridge to Holyhead the road will consist of alternate cuttings and embankments, with two short tunnels, one on either side of the Maltreath marsh. By this route, time to be employed between London and Wlvhead at 27 miles per hour, 91 hours, to which must be added a l hour for getting from the London Post-office to th e station; hour for passing Menai Bridge; 4 hour for embarkation at Holyhead (which will be at 6 in the morning;) 5,1 hours for average sea voyage, z hour front Kingstown to the General Post-office, Dublin, making altogether 16 hours. So that the mails leaving London at 8 in the evening would be at the Dublin Post-office at 12 the following day, and the return post from Dublin that evening is despatched by 7 o'clock, would arrive early the next morn ing at Liverpool and Manchester, and in London by 11 o'clock in the forenoon. The Liverpool mail, on its way to Chester, will gather all the mails of the southern and eastern, the midland and the greater part of the northern counties, while the Manchester train will embrace Yorkshire and the north-eastern districts--the London and Liverpool train also bringing their portion of the north—all which can reach Chester during the night, and proceed from thence about 3 o'clock in the morning with the London train to Holyhead. The second project under consideration is that by way of Shrewsbury, Llangollen, Bala, and Portdynllaen—(see the report of the Commissioners for Railways in Ireland). This is stated by assuming a railway to be completed, as will • eventually be the case from Landon to Shrewsbury, a dis tance of 153 miles, havin g n o gra di en t up on it s t ee p er than 1 in 3.30 There then remains to be executed the remaining length of 112 miles, making the total distance from London to Portdynllaen 265 miles. This is stated in the above re ,port to be only 260hniles, but from the map annexed to the report, it must by 265 miles, The line from Shrewsbury to Portdynllaen has one gradient of 1 to 160 fur ten miles, and the remaining gradients are stated to be very good, but as the line has not been surveyed between Shrewsbury an( Llangollen, the particulars of that part arc not given. The sea distance from Portdynllaen to Kingstown js 70 miles. As to the engineering qualities of this line, it appears from the Commissioners' report that there will be great difficulty in passing Barmouth harbour, after which a short tunnel near Dolgeilcy, and a viaduct of extraordivarvy dimensions will be requisite. There is th e t u n ne l a l so o f two miles length at Bala, and I should imagine that the line from Llangollen to ,Shrewsbury will be very Iteayyand expensive. The line oc cupied by railway fr om London through Shrewsbury to Port-. dynllaen at the distance of only 265 miles, the mails must be above 10 hours, on account of the steep and obstructive plaine and curvatures, to which hour for getting from the London Post,ollice to the railway station ; a hour for em ltarkation at Portdynllaen; 5 hours fur the sea voyage to Kingstown, hour from Kingstown to the Dublin Post offiee—makitig altogether sereuteen hours at the least, being one hour longer than byway of Chester and. Holyhead, but this may more probably be ,eighteen hours, to which add the disadvantage.of the position of Shrewsbury compared with Chester fur concentration of the mails, together with the heavy cost of constructing the line fron t Shrewsbury to Portdynlbten,and afterwards of working the, traffic on it. From Liverpool to Dublin the sea voyage is ab out 130 miles, requiring, according to the report of theCommicsioners fur Railways in Ireland, a untie time of 131 hours. It roust be remembered also that Miring the storms and low water, ves sels encounter much danger and delay in leaving Liverpool harbour. It is said that between H o lyh ea d an d Dublin no packet has been lost since the days of Q ueen Eliz a beth. The time by railway from London to Liv er p oo l, assum ing the dis tance to be.eventually 197 miles, w i ll b e a b ou t 71 hrs. at the rate of 27 miles an hour, to which add a a hr. from .the Lon e don post-office to the railway station, hr. from the Liverpool station to the shore and embarkation; 12 hrs. on the average fentu Liverpool to Kingstown - ---1 hi. thence to Dublin host office,gooking altogether 20i hrs., and consequently ;tyro/lug in Dublin at half-past 4 o'clock iu the afternoon, which will be too late for delivering and obtaining the return from Dub lin to England that night. Moreover in bad weather the arrival in Dublin must be too late for any delivery or for any dispatch of English*mails into Ireland that night, whereas via,. Holyhead,. the arrive I in Dublin can always be secured during fair weather, and rarely failing in bad weather, in time for the return post of England: and eventually by means of railways from Deblin through Ireland to reach Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Bel fast, &c. on the next evening after leaving London. It mos t also be remarked that the early hour for embarkatien at Li verpool, (4 in the morning) renders it in winter very dis agreeable, not to say hazardous.—The result of the foregoing comparison, giving the preference in point of time and eligi bility to the line by Chester and Holyhead, the next question to be considered is, how the lauds can be raised, and what are the means of remuueration.' Goyernineet could borrow at 32 per cent. but is reluctant to take charge of SuCh 'Works ; plaee sup pose a gross receipt of the publie is reluctant to embark iu theta unless a return of 5 per cent. be calenlated upon. Assumi ng cost of railway ' (87 miles) to be £2,500,000, including s t at i o n s and carrvin' about £200.00'0. z i l n ye th ar e n fi e r e s e t ssary fur the .puili„,sp. Qr. payings per cent. This yearly income may he expected from the following sources—viz: Post Office, for couveviug mails;, Ist class passengers, 2101 class passertgerS, trail-•" passciears, parcels, and extra luggage. 'fife Dublin and MaueheSter commission weublelSO adopt this route by Chester and Crewe,.in - preferenc e Liverpool. To facilitate the project it is proposed to raise £1,250,001 by shares, and £1,250,000 by loan front Government et 31 per cent , as a first lien upon the undertakieg; the redemption of this loan to be effected out of the sureles income after paying shareholders 5 per cent.; Cove t nment having as their security not only a priority of claim upon railway in. come, but au additional hold upon it -of .1:30,090 a year as charges for conveying mails = -together with a bonus accruing to the country from the diminished expense consequent upon simplifying the Postoffice business between England and. Ireland through the medium Of this undeltaking, to which may be added the general national advantages resulting' from it. Assuming from the foregoing low Eca!e of charge s• that the income of .only £200,000 a year would be realized now, such charge will most likely attract and establish the travelling between England and Ireland, chiefly upon this railway, hence the prospect of its paying by increased traffic . a further dividend to the proprietors. In addition also to the present traffic, a still greater inerease may be looked for when railways are made from" Dublin to the distant towns of Ireland, by which means Dublin will become the principal entrepot for the communication between Irelaud and England. The improving trade of North Wales, particularly of Anglesey, Carbarvoh, Bangor, Cloewoy, end Flint, and probably' a new trade from the proposed harbour at Orates Head hill con tinually produce an increase of revenue from this line. .Mr. Giles then entered into his calculations, which ap peared to tie under. the mark: but as he observed himself, he proceeded on grounds which left it not in the power of any to accuse him of exaggeration. Holyhead harbour, he observed, was now very commodi ous, and can be deepened, aud its piers extended for a sum of £20,000, so as to afford ample depth and room fur large ,stearn boats. Alr:Giles strongly recommends that that port should be used as a packet station only —not as an asylum harbour. Sir Richard Bulkeley was then called to the chair, where upon resolutions, approbatory of the project, were passed unaniinously, the meeting, as if influenced by one mind, en tering fully into the spirit of the unde►takiug. INSPECTION DAY.—Yesterday the New York state artil lerv, the uniform companies, and the militia in companies without uniform, paraded in the Park, marched to Washing ton-Square, anti returned to the Park again, under - the 'coin mand of Brigadier-general Morris. In the . front of the City hall they were reviewed by his honour the mayor, the board of common council, and a brilliant corps of staff officer , . We saw only one gallant officer with a less formidable weapon than a handspike, and he carried a brown silk umbrella in lieu of a-sword. A great deal has been said of the talking canary bird at t h e Royal Adelaide Gallery, and of a dog that has been made to pronounce several words. A correspondent from Boston, U. S., intltrins us that a gentleman of the name of Casman, in that city, has got a gold fish in a glass globe which every d a y s mokes a c i gar un d er water. This, as M r. O'Connell says, " beats Bannagaher." MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.—On the 17th inst. a severe gale teas experienced off Cape Florida. The French brig Courrier de Vera Cruz, Jules Julian, from Ilavannah, bound to Bordeaux, with a cargo of sugar, cigars, &c.,. was driven ashore in the night of the 7th, about 12 miles north of 'Cape Florida light—only seven out of sixteen souls saved. Brig and cargo totally lost. The survivors rescued from the devouring ocean were soon visited by a large party of armed Indians, who spared their lives because they were Frenchmen, saving that they only kill e d Ameri cans. The Captain and the six other survivors were taken (ruin the beach after the gale .was over, by a smack from the north, bound to this place. The. American brig Alderley, Thomas, master, from St. Jato, went ashore about the same time, and near the same .place. Every man on board, ex. cepting one, a iiutchman, were Massacred by the Indians! Ile was sparetlat the titne'of tee genernl.slaught er . and sub sequently hid himself in the hold of the strip. Doring all one day and night the Indians kept up a horribleli f ov 'wow, about the brig; they were fifty in number. ,The next day the Indians left the brig for a short tine, when the ,poor . utt Trept from his hiding -place. discovered and hailed . thevreel;- ing sloops, America and Mount - Vernan, nnd t by theui was taken off, the Indians again appearing in sight after h e had left the brig. The Indins will wreck the brig. Parer, MISCELLANEOUS. Captain Conroy, aide-de-camp to the Earl of Durham, ar rived at the Coloilial-office, at 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning, with despatches from Canada. A West Indian Morrison has been advertising pills to cure all sorts of disorders, "purely vegetable." The fellow was charged with imposition and ignorance, but maintained the perfect truth of his description of his pills, as " purely vege table.", Upon investigation they turned out to be pease soaked in a decoction of liquorice. A splendid steamer, called the Medusa (the twin of the Merlin, lately gone to Liverpool), was launched from the Hoye! Dock-yard, at Pembroke, on Wednesday last. She is to carry the mails, &e. from LiverpOol to Dublin, and is of 900 tons burden, and is to have two engines of 200-horse . . • • • spectable footing, and will be able to vie with and outdo the merchant-steamers plying on the sante ground. The. Milford stab m, it is expected, will benefit by these improvements, being in the expectution of a transfer of the Livei pool steam ers, cif 150-horse power, now in use in that place. The old Tortoise coal hulk, which fur twelve or thirteen Years lay off the town of Milford as a depot for coals for the Postoffice . mail packets, is now no lon ger o f use f or t h a t service, the' spacious coal yard at Robb's Point answering all the PUN poses requited.—Cambrien. . A prospectus fur a new steam navigation company, inti tied the." Pacific Steam Navigation Company," has appeared to-day, and created . much interest in the mercantile circles connected with the countries on the shores of the Pacific. The object of this company is to establish steam navigation along the coast from Valparaiso to Panama, embracing an the principal ports in Chili, .Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, atnt the west coast of New Granada, and in cnnjuuction with her Ma jesty's packets in the Atlantic, to promote a mma rapid and regular communication with 'Europe by the isthmus of Da rien, by which it is ascertained, on the best authority, that the voyage from England to Lima can be performed in about thirty days, and to our Australian settlements in about 70 days, instead of four months,- points as desiderali that can re quire no continent when the mercantile interests of a nation like this become involved in the question.—Morning Herald, • TA smut:Tn.—An inquest was held at the Town-hall, on Saturday afternoon, on the sufferers in the late fire. Pie vious to the commencement of the proceedings the jury took a view of the bodies of the deceased in the room where they were laid out at the King's Arms inn. They presented a most frightful spectacle. The countenances of some of them, particularly those of the cook and Miss Smith, the barmaid, were mueir distorted ; but none of them presented any ap pearance of violence or convulsion. The court, during the proceedings of•the inquest, was attended by many of the most respectable gentlemen in the neighbourhood, and among others the Right lion. William Peel (the brother of Sir Robett) appeared to take a deep and painful interest in the evidence brought forward. It appeared from the e-idenee that the fire commenced in the bar, but the origin of it was unknown. Soon after the fire was discovered a report was circulated that the servants were all safe, and in consequence no further exertion& were made to rescue them, but the room was so full of smoke, that when the ostler opened the window, and called out to the persons within to come out,.he wasal - most suffocated. The jury returned a verdict in each case of accidental death. . . ANOTHER FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WES TEIIN AILWA Y.—Scrcely - twelve days have elapsed since we recorded the lamentable and frightful death of a young gentleman named Field, a pupil .of Dr. Lardner's, on the above railroad, before we are again called upon to announce the Occurrence of another accident, which has, we regret to state, been attended":ivith similar fatal results. It appears that between nine and ten o'clock on Monday night, as one of the railroad polize, named Chapman, was on duty between the Ealing and Ilanwell stations, close to the latter village, he heard in the distance the noise of an engine approaching, and, on its .reaching him, the engineer informed him he feared they had sun over something a few yards in the rear. Chapman instantly hastened to the spot, when by the light of his lantern, he was horror-stricken at discovering his own father writhing in the agonies of death, the engine and tender having passed right ()Ver . him. The almost frantic son in stantly' hastened to the residence of Mr. Ilaffenden, surgeon, of Hanwell, who immediately returned with him; but all human assistance was vain, life being quite extinct. It ap pears that the .unfortunate man was proceeding along the railway with his son's supper, not anticipating the travelling of an engine at that late hour, and being deaf, its approach was unheard by him. The wheels of the engine, on exami nation, were found to have passed over his legs, body and chest, in a slanting direction, smashing his ribs, right arm, and left leg in a most frightful manner. The basket contain ing Chaptnan's supper, together with the hat of his unfortunate father, were found lying about thirty Yards from the spot where the body was diicovered.—Morning 'Herald. EXTRAORDINARY CASE of SUPPoSED HYDROPHOBIA.— About ten years ago, says a correspondent, a woman named Sitnnionds, then a laundress, residing at Camberwell, but now cook in a respectable family in Besmondsey-street, was bitten severely in the leg by a favourite dog. A surgeon was immediately called. in, who cauterized the wound w bleb, in about three weeks completely healed over, and no further notice was taken of the circumstance. In about six mouths after the occurrence the unfortunate woman was seized with a species of fit, which lasted for several weeks, during which period she was considered labouring under and treated for that most appalline disease, hydrophobia. The medical gen tleman-Who attendi,l her gave her up . for lost—but to their great astonishment she recovered. From that period the wo man, who had been of remarkably steady habits, gave way to drinking, neglected her business, and thus reduced herself and family front easy circumstances to a very poor condition. Mrs. Simmonds has, from the titre of the first attack, at in tervals, varving_from five to six months; been afflicted with a return of the disorder, which invariably lasts for five or six weeks together, at which time she foams at the mouth and prescots all the ether appearance - sof hydrophobia, every suc cessive attack:being more severe than the preceding. It is somewhat singular that, notwithstanding these repeated at tacks, Mrs. Simmonds,altbough, et the ex!dration'of each, requested by her relations, would never cot:sent to have the dug destroyed, and it died of old age about a twelvemonth since.—Morning Post. • INSANITY BRouGoT ON PERSONS• IN THE WATER PROM CANNON BEING FIRED oven THEM —At an early hour, a few days since, says -the New Yor k Evening Post, two young men went into the river at Castle garden to swim ; tit the very moment they leapt into the water, a salute was fired from some heavy piecesof cannon, which were contiguous. When the two young men leapt in, they remained •under water for some seconds ; and, on their rising to the surface, they were Observed by some bystanders to act in so fantastic a manner, that it was evident something of an unusual nature had occurred to them. A boat was therefore immediately pro cured, and the two young men taken out'of the water, and brought to the shore, _when it was fouud that both of them .had lost their senses, and so totally and entirely, as to be unable •to give any explanation of how they had been affected, or what sensation they rot. at 'the moment. Their insanity was not of a violent kind, but rather what might be termed idiotic, or tidal prostratirm of every intellectual attri bute. In this melancholy condition they were conveyed home to their friends, and remained nearly its the same state fur Iwo days, at the end of which one of them partially recoverd his senses, but the other still remains without any symptoms of amendment. In addition to this singular circumstance may be mentioned the effect produced upon fishes by a smart blow with a stick on the ice above them. We havo s,en this tried on a stream a foot or two deep, quite closed over with frost. - The fish,. starting to and fro at sonic depth below the ice, were stopped instantly •by the concussion, and floated ,apparently lifeless in the water. MottEcomnE BAY HARReuR.--The long-looked for report of Mr. Hague upon the practicability of embanking More combe -Bay has at length been received by the Whitehaven committee. This interesting and important document, which is - represented to us, on the best authority, as being . "com pletely satisfactory," we had hoped to be enabled to lay be fore our readers in our present number. Th - e cause of delay arises from the desire of the Whitehaven committee that Mr. Hague should enter rather more into detail upon some of the points- in-his report. -We hear that it will most probably be received in its amended state some time next week, whets no time will be lost in calling the committee together for the purpose-of taking measures for its publication. The While haven Heraid•informs us that "Mr. Hague calculates the ex pense of the embankments at. £434,000, and assuming that the expense of the remaining part. of the line of railway will not exceed £lO,OOO per mile for a distance of 55 miles, the suet required for that purpose will be 550,000. To this must be added the ordinary expense of branch railways, engineer ing, stsrveyilig, parliamentary and law expenses, contingen— cies, &c. £206,000, making the total cost of the railway £1,200,000. And the yalue of the land reclaimed, viz. 46.31)0 aeresdn-Moreeninhe Bay, and 5,700 in Duddon, 52,000 acres, Air, Hague estimates at £23 per acre, which amounts to I:1,196,000: so that the laud reclaimed will be nearly equal to the expense of making the whole of the railway." From this estimate, however, must be deducted the value of the landawarded to the lords of manors and neighbouring hibd owners, but even with this deduction the prospects of the ' railway ate more encouraging than we could have ventured to hope.---Lancaster Guardian. Ma. B. IN A DELEMsrA, Olt " CATCHING A TARTAR."— Mr: B: it should be known, is a gentleman in this town who is. a radical; at least so our friends must take for granted, un less they consider the expression a contradiction in terms. Well; Mr. B. avails himself of the convenience of the rail way occasionally. On Tuesday he did so. and when he en tered one of the "first classes" at Liverpool, he was delighted to find himself in the presence of two ladies and a triplet of gentlemen. Being a bit of a chatty fellow he soon began to converse, hut his conversation being abridged by his passage through the tunnel he laid up his talking-tackle in ordinary until they emerged into the light of heaven. He then made a few 'reniarks concerning the importance of steam-power, which a gentleman with a large handkerchief round his neck. reaching nearly to his eyes, answered by grunting, " ah !" By no means discomfitted, turned his eyes to a gentleman who looked like a clergyman, and accosted him thus. "And so, sir, We 'are to hirve two preachings to-night at Bolton; O'COnnor'slis' tie there you know : capital chap that; and that Mr: M‘Neile is coming to." One of the ladies here upon relieved herself of a small cough, and began strictly to investigate the seams of her gloves, " I wish the church was about their ears. This M'Neile - only talks for what he can get. Don't tell me, I'm a radical." " Pray do . you know Mr. M'Neile ?" said the clerical gentleman. "Oh, no! not 1," says Me. h " Then Why venture to impute motives to a person whom you know not, andwirose mind may, perhaps, be as independent and liberal as your own." Here the gen tleman who had hitherto been silent trod upon Mr. B.'s toe, but to no purpose, Mr. B. would go on, and discharged forth with a volley of radicalism whiCh was' so calmly but answerd by the clerical gentleman, that Mr. B. began to stammer, which his opponent perceiving, such summary means were taken of . " polishing off" Mr. 8., that the latter gentleman became dumb-foundered, and only acquired sensi bility to outward things, when the train stopping, a person whispered in his year, `",Chat is Mr. M`Neile," " Dear are," exclaimed Mr. B. involuntary, and never spoke another word until their arrival at Bolton; when ' hearing his reverend fellow-passen ger i nqure t h e way to St. Georges's, Mr. B. riffered to escort him, and absolutely carried a small parcel to ilia door of the church, where, declining to enter, he went his way " a wiser man" let us hope. We have no doubt Mr. 11: has learnt a lesson which will he useful to him for the I' , etriainder of his life. which we hope Providence may pro lbng.—Bolton Chronicle. • CHURCH, CHAPEL, AND SELEcT RETURNS.—SeveraI of the Boards of Guardiani in East Kent have resolved not to sanction the employment of their clerks m procuring the re- Mims asked fur by the Poor-law Commissioners. at the desire of Lord John Russell. They know that they were not formed to become busy-bodies and meddlers in the religious and edu cational concerns of the perishes of their unions; they know how inaccurate any such returns must prove; they discern the cluven foot, the sinister deign ; they foresee the hackney uses, in whels if nut at once resisted, any ministry, any tours they see the seeds of dis cor d of a parts - , may engage them; laid; and Pley'lla ye determined to confine their attention to their duty, and their duty alone. It is to be hoped that this feeling will prevail throughout the unions of the kingdom.— Correspondent of Standard. .

The Town Council met this morning for the purpose of electing the Mayor for the ensuing year, and eight aldermen, to supply tne places of those who retired in rotation. The following is the result. Three candi.. dates were proposed for the office of Mayor—viz. Hugh Hornby, Esq., (liberal,) J. S. Leigh, Esq., (conserva- Est ,-(liberal, and Chair. man of the Tradesmen's Reform Association.)

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9. The arrivals of Grain from Ireland since Tuesday are limited to a few parcels of Wheat, Barley, and Oats; whilst those of Flour and Oatmeal, although the former is rather increasing, are only moderate for to-day, and the supplies coastwise prove altogether trivial : the foreign imports com prise 2,781 quarters Wheat, and 562 barrels of Flour, from Trieste, Constantinople, and Leghorn. In any branch of the Corn trade between Tuesday and to day, the transactions have been upon a very limited scale and the general quotations noted in our last circular, hardly supported. Having a very slender attendance of both town and country buyers at this day's market, and very little disposition to purchase wheats, all descriPtions of old were Id to 2d, and Irish new 3d per 701bs cheaper than on Tuesday last, with an extremely dull sale generally. Flour, in consequence, Was very unsaleable, and offered at is per sack lower: A parcel of fine English Malting Barley was reported as sold on higher terms, but the price did not transpire; grinding samples, upon a moderate demand, remaining stationary in value. Malt, being in fair request, prime qualities were the turn dearer. Beans and Peas maintained late prices. For Oats and Oatmeal the trade was extremely languid, and had sales been practicable beyond a merely retail amount, rather lower rates must have been accepted. In the Bonded Market we have to report the sales of a cargo of good lower Baltic lied Wheat, at 10s. per 701b5.; 500 bar rels of prime Danzig Flour, at 40s. per barrel; and several lots of Pease, at 38s. to 40s. per quarter.

WALES.—The result of the municipal elections in all the principal towns of England and Wales has been ascertained. From the returns now before us we have every reason to congratulate our conservative friends on the issue of these annual struggles for ascendancy. Wherever the conservatives have. thought it worth their while to enter into ra.formal contest ,with their opponents, they have been . signally successful. In many places the radicals have been, allowed ,to walk over the course. These instances are,,of coerAe, claimed as triumphs on the part of the liberal faction. No one, however, can be so blind as to acknowledge the justice of this claim. Uncontested elections do not always afford a fair or satisfactory criterion of the relative strength of political parties; especially where it would be deemed a disgrace, rather.thaa an honour. to succeed. The constitution of a great niielbey...,.of the Town Councils, subsequently to the passing of the Municipal Reform Act, has been such,, that . persons of any pretensions.to respectability would be ashamed of entering the lists as candidates. In many places the most violent and turbulent demagogues have main tained their ascendancy owing to the.natural tTplig• nance felt by men of wealth and station,toAt in company with a degraded set, of blackguaßis,. t The best test of the strength of parties, ando.f•tbe,arpount of reaction, is to be found in thoseoities and boroughs in which the merithers heretofore elected Arysfocik,of some standing in society. in all . sUcfi...4tes, i yv . here due exertions have been used by the the, coo:yervAtives, the radicals have been signally, riefe,rted,,,T .
