FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The latest telegraphic despatch from Constan tinople, dated yesterday, does not announce the resumption of diplomatic relations between the Porte and the four , Powers. All that was waited for was the complete constitution of the new Ministry. M. de Thourvenel has had an audience • of the Sultan. Despatches from the French Consul at Tunis announce that the Bey has granted the full satis faction demanded of him for the recent outrages crlEuropeans. They add that his government is so weak that similar excesses may be expected to , 03Eur again, and that it is essential to take mea sures f. - .r the future protection of foreigners. The Debate contains a budget of miscellaneous intelligence from Senegal and the French West India Islands. In the Upper Senegal the Mahone- Medan chief, El Hadj Omer, after having been twice repulsed in fierce attacks on the fort of Medine, had announced his intention of taking it by famine. lie had also proclaimed throughout Senegambia and Guinea that, when he should have finished with Senegal, he would attack Gambia, Goree, and all the establishments on the west coast of Africa, whence he was resolved to expel the Europeans. Meanwhile he has been detained two months by a fort of no great strength, into which, notwithstand ing the blockade, supplies have been thrown, and whither relief was sent in July. From Guada loupe we learn that the first cargo of African labourers had arrived by the ship Phceoix She left the coast of Africa with 296 on board, and lost. 14 on the passage, which lasted 39 days. The Ad- Ministration of Guadeloupe had been informed by the Minister of Marine that "two ships, belonging to the house of Regis, the Stella and the Clara, were about to quit Marseilles to recruit, on the West Coast of Africa, the 1 ; 200 or 1.500 emigrants that house had undertakers to supply in the course of 1857." The Duke of Rivas had a long interview on Friday with Count Walewski, and is said to have declared that, before proceeding to hostilities with Mexico, the Spanish Government would publish a manifesto explaining the question at issue, and permitting the Mexican Government to open fresh negotiations. Although accounts are conflicting with respect to the exact course the Spanish-Mexican dispute is taking, and to the manner in which it is likely to be arranged, it is pretty evident that all danger of collision between the two powers is over for the present. As regards the final settlement, that, considering the national character of the dis putants, may possibly be long. But fears for 'Cuba will restrain Spain from carrying out those warlike threats of which her press and some of her legislature were lately lavish. In a recent Council of Ministers, M. Abbatuuci expressed himself in terms of great indignation with respect to the abuses in Algeria that have been revealed on the trial of Captain Doineau and the Arab culprits. Marshal Vaillant, in reply, endeavoured to extenuate the matter, observing that, in judging it, we must not look • at it exactly from the European point of view, but make some allowance for the peculiar circumstances of a recently conquered country, for the character of the people to be dealt with, &c. A mixed commission has been ap pointed to draw up a plan, to be submitted to the Emperor, for the reorganisation of the Arab 'bureaux It seems to be considered impossible to dispense with them, but a less military character will Probably be given to them. It is still reported that Generals Montauban and Beaufort will be re moved from their present commands in consequence of the scandal this affair has occasioned. A great reorganisation of the Ministry of the Inteiior is talked of—into five branches or divisions Public Safety, the Press, Accounts, General and -De partmental Administration, and Telegraph. The following despatches have been received : Aden from Africa say that the English Governor of , o ue ve l l has furnished instructing officers to the various Th c e lgus on the shores of the Red Sea. a nnoun abioet of Turin, in a very proper note, has ed that it will expel 27 Neapolitan refugees con asSlu,,ered dangerous• • s ing Ferdinand of Naples has granted numerous deco rations, medals, and pensions to the authorities a n d Urb an -Guards of Calabria. The intendant or Salerno has been named Grand Cross. ' ITALY. TURIN, AUG UST 27. The late French diplomatic changes have naturally ,given rise to much speculation in Italy as to their signification regarding the policy of the Imperial Government towards Italy in the future. While on the one hand the Liberal party flatter themselves that the nomination of the Due de Gra mont as representative of the Emperor at the Court of Rome gives promise of the inauguration of that much-desired policy shadowed forth in the well•known letter to Edgar Ney, the Armenia and its fellow labourers fi.ld consolation in the fact that even the Liberal papers are obliged to describe the appointment of the Due de Gramont as promotion, which, says the Armenia, proves that the Emperor of the French esteems the government of Rome much more than he does that of Sardinia. A letter received from Bologna this Morning says this appointment had raised great hopes among the Liberal party there, and the writer adds that the Pope, in taking leave of the Austrian authorities there, had said " he had felt com forted in seeing himself surrounded by brave men, who had not only had reestablished the Pontifical Throne, but maintained and defended courageously 'the sace r dotal p ower aga i ns t th e a tt ac k s o luke warm friends of little faith," which was supposed to be an allusion to the French Government, as the remark was made shortly after Count de Rayneval had been there to take leave of His Relines& t I have good authority for saying that the Pope's reception at Florence has been very much what it was throughout his journey in his own dominions —that is to say, respectful towards himself as head of the Church, with a strongly-developed curiosity to see a live Pope. I met a friend yesterday who had witnessed the Pope's reception in several towns of the Marches and Romagna, and also at Modena and Florence, and he assured me the reception at Modena was the nearest approach to an enthusiastic welcome that he saw, and even there it was vefy tame. As to the Fierentines, he said they crowded in hundreds and thousands to look at the Pope as they would at a wild beast, but they paid very little attention to him once their curiosity had been satisfied ; and though the streets and open places were full of people, and the houses decorated with flags and garlands, and tapestry and other inanimate symbols of re• juicing on the day of his arrival, few people even uncovered, and hardly any knelt to receive his benediction as he passed along. The Court and clergy at Florence .had, of course, done 'their utmost to invest the Papal visit with 1,1 ,1,e air of a triumph for their views and °Pinions, but although the priests undoubtedly have great influence over certain classes, the people of Tuscany are by nature far too acute to be led by the simple diction of preachers against the evidence of their oNn senses ; and it is said this visit of the Pope to Tuscany will, therefore, probably have done more to destroy the faith in Papal infallibility than all the efforts of Protestant or Evangelical missionaries could have effected in a century. Lord and Lady Normanbv passed through Turin Yesterday, on their way to England. His lordship was hastily summoned by telegraph in consequence of the serious illness of one of his brothers, and is expected to return in about six weeks. BOROUGH OP Gamown:ie.—Some excitement has been Occasioned in consequence of the prospect of au immediate vacancy in the representations, arising out of the proceed ings in bankruptcy against Mr. Townsend. It is supposed Mr. Chambers will again seek the suffrages of the electors. LORD ELGIN IN CHINA, The great event at Hong King, since the departure of the June overland mails, was the arrival of Lord Elgin at that city on the 2ad July. His lordship landed under salutes from the men-of-war and the Murray Battery, being received on the wharf by H. E. Sir John Bowring, Generals Ashhurnham and Garrett, and the whole of the diplomatic and military staffs. He at once proceeded to Government House, where he held a public levee on Wednesday evening. After the reception, a deputation of the community wait2d upon His Excellency, and presented the following Address, signed by the great body of British residents, and to which we are enabled to append His Lordship's reply : TO THE EIGHT NO NOIIELAELE THE IC tIIL OF , Her Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Pekin, MY LORD —We, the undersigned British subjects do ourselves the honour of offering to your lordship our hearty congratulation on your safe , arrival at the country of your embassy. The satisfaction with which your lord ship's acceptance of this difficult and peculiar mission was hailed in England, has found a loud and ready echo here, and we rely with great confidence on that judgment which has so signally distinguished your lordship's public career. We are by no means insensible, my lord, of the many difficulties which beset the great mission upon which your lordship now enters, involving as it does so many of the highest interests of civil and religious liberty and commerce. We venture upon no opinion at present respecting the readjustment of our relations with this empire at large, though always prepared to hold our ad vice and experience at your lordship's command; but upon that branch of the question which we distinguish as the " Canton difficulty," we would take this the earliest opportunity of recording our opinion—an opinion founded upon long and reluctant, and we may add tra ditional, experience—that any compromise of it, or any sort of settlement which shall stop short of the complete humiliation of the Cantonese which shall fail to teach them a wholesome respect for the obligation of their own Government in its relations with independent powers, and a more hospitable reception of the foreigner who resorts to their shores for the peaceable purposes of trade, will only result in further suffering to themselves, and further disastrous interruptions to us. Many of us have already been heavy sufferers by the present difficulty. It must be apparent to your lordship that our best interests lie upon the side of peace, and upon the earliest solid peace that can be obtained ; but notwithstanding this, we would most earnestly deprecate any settlement of the question which should not have eliminated from it the very last elements of future disorder. We beg leave in conclusion to repeat the assurance of our entire confidence, and we trust that the grand result of your lordship's mission may be worthy of your lordship's high reputation, and may form the dawn of a new and more auspicious era in the history of our intercourse with this vat and productive empire.—We have the honour to be, your lordship's obedient and humble servants, Hong,Kong, 3rd July, 1837. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1857. LORD ELGIN'S REPLY Gentlemen,—l am much gratified by the welcome which you are pleased to proffer to me on my arrival at Hong Kong. lam aware of the deep interest which you have in the re• establishment of a solid pace, and of the weight which deservedly attaches to your opinion, —not only on the points specifically adverted to in this addsess, but also on the larger question of the readjustment of our relations With the Chinese empire. I shall therefore, at all tunes, listen with attention an `1 respect to any representations which you may see fit to make to me on these subjects although the interests of the public service forbid that I should discuss the instructions with which our sovereign has honoured me, or the course which, in pursuance of those instruction', it is my intention to pursue. Without, however, departing from the reserve which a sense of duty prescribes to me, I may venture to state, that I concur with you in the opinion that no settlement of our present difficulties will be satisfactory which shall fail to teach the Cantonese a wholesome respect for the obligations of their own Government in its relations with independent powers, and for the laws of hospitality towards strangers who resort to their shores for peaceful purposes of trade. The powerful fleet already assembled on these coasts. which will soon be supported by an adequate military force, is a pledge of her Majesty's determination to afford protection to her faithful subjects in this quarter, and to maintain the rights to which they are by treaty entitled. It is essential to the permanence of pacific relations with China, and to the security of trade, that the; court of Pekin should be apprised, that an arrogant refusal to treat with other powers on the terms prescribed by the comity of nations, or the alleged wilfulness of a provincial authority, will not henceforth be held to release it from the responsibility of faithfully adhering to engagements contracted with independent and sovereign states. You refer in language of much force and justice to the difficulties which beset the mission on which am entering. lam not insensible to those difficulties. But knowing asg do, that the Government which I serve is pursuing no selfish objects, that we may count on the cordial „sympathy and active co-operation of other great and generous nations, interested with ourselves in the spread of commerce and the extension of civilisation ; knowing, moreover, the valour and discipline of the forces. both military and naval, which, under able and experienced commanders, are prepared, if need be, to support the honour of our country's flag. I see no reason to doubt that, by prudence and patience. moderation and firmness, they may be overcome. Hong Kong, Bth July, 1857. LORD ELGIN'S ANTICIPATED MOVEMENT. We plead guilty to a certsin amount of disappointment at learning that the new plenipotentiary contemplates a move North, before what we have been accustomed to regard as the chief condition of his success be satisfied in the capture of Canton. We say this, assuming that his trip means negotiation at some other point or points of the coast of China; but we have no positive information regarding his lordship's proceedings ; and if we are to ust general report, he will perform a sort of grand t our along the coast, to c , mclude with Japan and some other minor attractions. We are not disposed to believe this. The probability is, that Canton would have, been taken had the troops been her. ; a •,d although we should regret the commencement of negotiations before we are in occu pation of the city, we must not forget that we are at present without means to our end. We have suffered confidence in our present premier to feel sure that, how ever gravely and diplomatically the intervening time may be past, we shall not be the less secure in the end of a removal of the restrictions of which we complain, no less at Canton than elsewhere. From the little we have seen and heard of the Earl of Elgin, too, we augur favourab'y of him as a man of energy. Experience forbids us to be sanguine about the advantages to be ga:ned by c )17 es pondence. It may serve to remove from us, at home, the reproach of not having exhausted persuasion before we proceeded to coerce the court of Pekin, and thus, of course, will strengthen our own Government against the cavil of its opponents. But we repeat, the best answer to the objection that we are beginning at the wrong end, is, undoubtedly, that it is not just now in our power to commence at any other; and the improvement of our moral position in the interim, will certainly not hamper us in the ulterior measures, which will only be too probably forced upon us. We give tho court of Pekin one chance more while we clear for action—but we are clearing for action.—China Mail, July 10.

By Sara T. L. Robinson. LUCKY ESCAPZ or A TRIM , WHO S FOLZ £47.-0a Wed nesday, a nomber of people, relatives of a family known by the name cf " John-o'-my-Gronny's," came to the office of Mr. John Standring, solicitor, Rochdale, for the purpose of receivin g legacies which had been let' to them. A.monget the rest came one named Joseph Taylor, from Oldham. This man had nothing to rec ive, but it appears his presence was necessary. The .egacies were paid, and all retired. Mr. Standring and a junior clerk also left the office to get dinner; and the premises were left in the care of a boy, who had only been with Mr. Standring a few weeks. In a few minutes Taylor returned, went into Mr. Standring's private office, and took from the desk eight sovereigns and a cheque for £39. When Mr. Standring returned, the boy informed him that Taylor had been into his office. An examination was made, and the money missed. Mr. Standring and his j inior eerie instantly set off in pursuit of the thief, traced him in the di7ection of Sparth, and thence towards Castle'on Old Mill, to a field called Stony Field. Here they found Taylor, who hal sat down in the field, and pretended to sleep. Mr. Standring instantly charged him with the robbery, and forthwith insisted on searching hiss, which he did. Taylor then said he would seek) him pay for that. Nothin; daunted, Mr. Standring despatched bis clerk t:, the Sudden, for police officer Bradbury, of the county police. In the interim, Taylor was kept on the ground by Mr. Standring, who said to him, '• Now, Taylor, if you'll confess, and produce the money (which had not been found during the search), I will let you off." Taylor thereupon confessed, began to cry, begged to be let off, and rooted up the eight sovereigns and the cheeps, which he had hid in the field. Just as the last sovereign was found, the officer elm?, up ; but having got the money on a promise, Mr. Standring refused to give him into custody, and so the thief escaped. WTHXT IS COMING TO LIVERPOOL? T WHY, THE GREATEST WONDER IN THE WORLD!

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. One of the last questions answered by Lord Palmer_ stop on the day Parliament was prorogued must prove satisfactory to the nation and consolatory to those whose pulse beats high with hope or fear when the scanty news of a " Telegraph from Alexandria" brings mourning to many, horror to all. The proposed telegraph to India, via the Eiaphrates, is abandoned, because the Porte refuses to sanction its con struction; and the telegraph via the Red Sea has the sole support of her Majesty's Government. It is two years since the latter project was favourably received at the India House and " barked" by the Foreign ()lice; and one year since the former was born near the Treaeury and nurtured,;by it. Common sense is after all too common a gift to bow for ever before unscrupulous attacks, nu just insinuations, and support based upon want of prin ciple. Government have been beaten upon a question which is vital to our Indian empire —viz., the existence or non existence of a telegraph to India. They have to thank the Treasury for this defeat ; and let it be a warning for the future, as well as an atonement due to the English people for the past. The Indian telegraph via the Red Sea is to be made ; but we want it made at once. The 2,000 miles of cable • on board of the Niagara and Agarnlmnon can be laid between Suez and Aden before the end of the year. The 9:)0 'miles of cable now making for connecting Cagliari with Malta and Corfu can be purchased to connect Con stantinople and Alexandria before the end of October. We have thus the power of forestalling India news by 7 days in October, and 14 days in January. All the ne cessary privileges have been granted by the Sagan. the means and material are at hand, but the Board of Con trol and the Treasury are guided by timid counsels. Precedent rules the one ; we hope that nothing worse rules the other. We are told that telegraphs are, after all, of greater commercial than political imoortance, that news so derived is too scanty, and insufficient to act upon; that forestalling the regular despatches creates confusion; and that regularity is the first reuirement of a good adminis tration of public affairs. These are not our woods, they come from the head of a public department. We have but one question to put to such a sc .ptie. Is the price of cotton more important than the fate of India ? If not, accelerate your means of ruling India, and let cotton take care of itself for the moment. If cotton growers in Carolina and cotton lords in Manchester can afford to risk £350,000 in trying an experiment by laying 2,500 miles of rope across the Atlantic, English material inte rests, not to speak of the feelings towards husbands, sons, &netters, and fellow-creatures can afford to spend £300,000 to bring themselves 14 days nearer to each other. We cannot believe that even the circumlocation office dares tell the English people at this juncture, that because twelve months hence a telegraph to India may be made some £300,000 cheaper than by bu)in4 the Atlantic cable at once, they must therefore wait twelve months for the boon. And yet we are assured on the highest authority that such is the case. If it is so, there is but one way of meeting such a spirit of obstruction now that Parliament is prorogued. Public meetinzs mast be held ; there the truth will be known, and we doubt not that the individual energy, supported by the press, which has after incessant efforts obtained from Lord Palmerston a tardy assent to support a possible line of telegraph to India. will soon persuade him that further delay is dangarous, and that the country will willingly risk £30,000 to gratify their yearnings —or call it only curiosity—to know what ,is doing in the East. It is really preposterous to think that hundreds of thousands a-year are pail for postal service by steamers to no •ommodate merchants in their business, and that a few thousand pounds are refusel to allay the anguish of thousands tortured by suspense, and to give the means of rapid and energetic measures to relieve our countrymen from the horrors of an uncivilised civil war, and save our honour. Apathy and self-conceit in our rulers lost thousands of lives and millions sterling before the walls of Sebastopol. We wore then fighting for a friend—we are now fighi ing for ourselves, and fighting iu a country where opinion has ruled more than three, where moral weight was weightier than heavy metal; it is our bounden duty, therefore, to use every means and appliance which can help to form the judgment and expediate the action. Let us take a lesson from the past, even though heads of departments are above doing so. And in urging this question of immediate telegraphic communication with India we must not fail to remember that had the East India Com pang been allowed to give " the liberal support'' they had promised in June, 1855, we should have been in instan taneous communication with Calcutta long before any revolt took place. The East India Company are now again urging the Board of Control to permit them to give such assistance to private enterprise as shall enable tele. graphic communication as far as Aden to be opened during this year. The Treasury steps in with a prece_ dent :—the English Government have given certain condi tional guarantees to the Atlantic Telegraph Company and to a Mediterranean Telegraph Company, that is the limit to which the East India Company may go, so that private enterprise, having financial encouragement below the present value of money in the market, roust move cautiously and step by step, watching its opportunity to pin down shareholders by a call, and 12 months hence with the capital all subscribed, and the cable ready for shipment, India may perhaps have gone 'from us, or at any rate the crisis will be past, and the utility of science of small avail. In the appendix to pipers relative to the mutinies in the East Indies presented a few weeks since to both Houses of Parliament there are over one hundred pages of telegraphic despatches, and we recommend them to special attention, beeause they contain facts intelligibly put, not short of words so as to render them obscure, nor overloaded with comments so as to make it difficult to find them. There is a sort of hallucination that a telegraphic message must be so laconic as to lose the point—an enigma to be solved on the receipt of letters. The news of the fall of Cawnpore and the loss of the Transit, which came to us from Suez, was a week's puzzle. The steamer that conveyed the message from Alexandria to Cagliair cost the country probably £5OO for that trip, and yet the country's agent in Suez, by trying to save a few shillings, made his information almost valueless. The Telegraphic Despatches in the Blue Book before us are clear and unmistakeable. Every verb and participle is ?given, and while the language is curt the sense is carefully conveyed. This evidence of the utility of the telegraph during a crisis in the best reproof we can give to those with whom routine habits overweigh every other consideration. HER MAJESTY IN SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH. Her Araj,sty's first day's journey was completed within ten or twelva minutes of the expected time, the whole journey of 399 miles, from Kings-cross to St. Margaret's station, having been accomplished within ten hours and a half. The way from St. Margaret's station to Holyrood was lined by the sth Dragoon Guards,' the Royal Artillery, and Rifle Brigade, the Artillery exhibiting in the park a battery of six guns, with full equipment of horses and carriages. An immense throng lined all the way to Holy rood. Her Majesty is proverbially fortunate in getting good weather here, but never did she enter Edinburgh on a finer evening, or meet a - _happier reception. The hills were still illuminated by a dazxling sunshine, while the parks and slopes were animated by a large and loyal assemblage, and dense lines of faces gazed at. and cheered the royal party as they passed along ,atidittle more than walking speed. The Palace of Holyrool 'was reached in about ten minutes. Outside, the splendid band of the rifles played the anthem, and a guard of honour presented:arms. The High C mstab'es were ranged on both shies of,the portico , and within it her M sty was receive Iby the Duke cf Buccleueh, S'r Benjamin Hall, the Lord Provost, &c. After a short interval her Majesty and Prince Albcrt left their apartments,' awl' proceeded in company with Sir B. Hall to inspect the improvements that are bring made around the palace, awl :with which her Majesty, we believe, expressed herself much — gratified A large extension being made to the palace garden, and various improvements are likewise being effected within the palace. p The dinner parry 'in the evening - only included Sir Benjamin Hall, in addition to the royal suite. On Saturday morning her Majesty, Prince 'Albert, and the royal children left Edinburgh, en route for Balmoral. About a quarter past nine o'clock the royal party, attended as they were on Friday, left Holyrood Palace, and at half-past nine the royal train left the station amid the cheering of the spectators. The train reached Sterling about 10.40, Perth at 11.40, and the railway journey to Blairgowrie was completed at half-past twelve; the royal party proceeded in post carriages thence to Balmoral. The Emperor Napoleon left Paris on Saturday, and arrival at the camp Chalons the same evening. A company is forming, capital £lOO,OOO, for construct ing the first section—Alexandria to Aden. The India Company have guaranteed a minimum annual revenue of £20,000 on this portion subject to the approval yet to be obtained of the Board of Control.

AND RO.sTREVOR RAILWAY. The twenty-third ordinary general meeting of this company was held in the Clarendon rooms, South John street, at twelve o'clock yesterday. The Mayor, Francis Shand, EEci , presided. Among the shareholders present were—Messrs. Charles H -Hand, Ale Lander Shand, Edward Bsnner, Lupton, Byrne, &e. The Secretary, Mr. Cochrane, read the following REPORT: 0 Your directors, in their last repo •t, intimated the intention of the Newry and Enniskillen Company to apply, in unison willt this company, for ParLatnentary powers to' extend their line to Armagh, and to form a Sunction of thesarne with this lin?. Your directors havo now tbs,3 satisfaction ro , report that such Parliamentary powers have been fully obtaincl, enabling the Newry and Enniskillen Company to elftend tlltrir line to Armagh, and this cempany to j rin it, and also to l'ay rails along the Warrenpoint ffr,ck. Your cotuent will In aa-weci to an agreement with the Newry and Enniskillen Rills:my for working your line upon terms and conditions which will be submitted to the ravenng, Tiro whole of the 5,000 pre ference shares, issued artier the resolution If 28t 1 February, 1855, hating been taken up, your directom , propose to takes Powers to convert an additional sum ref £lo,Ctoo' of the out standing debenture debt into similar preference shares. _ The eibtattNlA , r said the directors might hay that they were something in the position of the ancient sculptor, who, when he was reproachedifor not making [vnter pro gress in his work, pointed out that the very eicety of his operations prevented his progress from being visible and acknowledged. They had from , an early day bier. engaged in removing many troubles and difficulties fom the concern, They found it in the firs; instance crearladen with chancery suits, of which he believed they had three. It was weighed down with debts which they had then no means of aijusting, and he believed money ditEcnities were harder to get rid of than any other circumstances. However, he believed they might now, that they had overcome those difficulties, and so , far adjusted their affairs that they were in a position to make somethingelike progress. It had been always the idea in his mind that their railway was something of an Irish character, for it seemed to- be centre without terminations. It had ends, but they were rot practically effective for the uses of the company. They had now, he veal glad' to say, passed a bill in Parliament which gave theta full facilities for working upon the quays of the docks at Warrenpohat, and enabLd them to join themselves with the railway which was laid to Armagh He believed this would be highly bene ficial to the company. They had, in feet., so far antici pated it as to be able to make an agreynent, to which allusion had been made. with the Newry and Enniskillen Company, and when they came to read that part, he thought the shareholders would be fully satisfied that they were now in a position to expect some return for the labour and anxiety to which the shareholders had long been subjected. He did not know that he had anything further to say, except to congratulate the shareho'ders upon the progress they had made. Ho therefore moved that the report just read should bs received an I adopted. Mr. Lueroe seconded the motion, which was confirmed. Mr. HoLLAVD moved that a dividend cf 6 per cent, less income taxf upon the preferential shares be declared. Me Beater: seconded the motion, which was also agreed fo. This concluded the general business, and the meeting then became special. Mr. E. Beeresa moved that the directors be empowered to raise the sum of £lO,OOO, beiog the balance of the sum of £20,000 authorised to be raised by the resolution of the company bearing date the 28th February, 1855; by the creation of 5,000 preference shares at .f2Ter share to be offered in the first instance to the existing proprietors- The etatIRMAN observed that this would enable the directors to absolve the debts of the company and release them from that pressure which they felt by the renewal of debentures held by parties who had no other interest in the coral- any. . Mr. A. SHOD seconded the tmotion, which was unani mously adopted. Tne SECRErARY (Mr. Cochrane) then read the heads of agreement with the Newry and Armagh (late tha . New ry and Enniskillen Company), they are as Lilo ws : Tye first agreement provides 1. That the Enniskillen Company shall immediately bring down their line to the edge of the Newry Canal. 2. That the cost of constructing the bridges shall be provided in the first instance by the Enniskillen Company, who shall take from the Warrenpoint Company, fur one moiety of such coat, a debenture, payable at two years from the opening of the junction, with interest at 5 per cep'.. 3. That all alterations and extensions at Warrenpoint, and other improvements of the line,-made svi h the sanction of the Warrenpoint Company, shalt iu the first instince be paid for by the Enniskillen Compmy, and, at the expiration of the proposed lease, taken over by the- Warrenpint Company at a valuation to be then made. 4. That all expenses incident to the appliceion to the parliament for the bill, shall be paid by the two companies in equal moities The second agreement provides 1. That the Wafrctipoint Company shall make a- lease of their lino to the Enniskillen Company, immediately after parliamentary sanction has btcn obtained by the passing of the act. 2. That the lease shall be for twenty-one years after the completion of the Unction, with power to the Tinnilkillen Company to return the same at the end of fourteen years, on giving twelve months previous notice. 3. That the rents to be paid.are as follows :—..93,130, first year; £4,160, second year ; £4,680, third year ; £6,220, fourth year ; £5,720, fifth, sixth, and seventh years ; and. £5,733, with half nett pr• fit beyond that sum, for the remainder of the term. Tie Enniskilen Company dining the term to keep the rails and all the works connected with the company in efficient repair, and so to deliver up the same at the expira— tion of the term. • 4. The Enniskillen Comp'my eff,!etivtlly to work the line during the term, and to do their utmost to extend the traffic up,n it. 5. The Enniskillen Company not to underrlet the line without ,be consent of the Warrenpoint Company. _ _ The CHAIRMIN moved that the dirocws be authorised to carry out the agreement. _ _ _ Mr. C. HOLLAND seconded the motion. He said it was evident that, not only would their company be very mach benefittei by this junction, which would give a certain fixed dividend to the proprietors—and which he trusted to see soon completed—but it would likewise very much bens& the Newry and Arma 2 h Company. There was every prospect of Newry becoming what it ought to be—ono of the most important ports on the east coast of Ireland—and this lease, he doubtei not, would be the beginning of a new era for the town of Newry. Their property had now as sumed a valae which enabled them to look fc)zward to a moderate dividend on the capital invested in the line, and to its assuming in the market the value, which ought to attach to it. Mr. LUPTON said, that he could cc,rrobonte all that had fallen from Mr. Holland in regard to OA advantages to be derived from the amalgamation: Theo was nothing in fact for them but it, and when caripleted it would be one of the best lines in Ireland. The motion was unanimously adopted.. A SHAREIIOLDEIt asked what divilend would the lease admit of on the old shares? Mr. COCIIILANR replied, that they could not state cor rectly until they knew the expense a the junction. Trine would be a dividend the first year, and in the fi 'th year it would be 15s. on the old shams, and after that also a participation ilia nrit profits. The meeting Olen separated,.

In yesterday's publication we supplied our readers with a telegraphic summary of the news per the La Plata. We are now in possession of full details of the same. The yellow fever had greatly decreased at St. Tho mas's, but there was still some cases among the shipping. Mr, Brooker, fifth officer of the Clyde, had died from its effects. La Plata has had no sickness throughout the ♦oyage. Just previous to the arrival of the steamer at St. Thomas's, and during her stay there, Dr. Schuyler, the medical officer of the ship, administered to the whole of the crew from 6 to 15 grains of :quinine as a pre ventive. _ _ -..... The_ steamer brings 100 passengers, and on freight 2,222,364 dols. in specie (of which 1,697,777 dols. are in silver, and 524 587 dols. in gold), platina value 360 dols., pearls value 250 dols., and a cargo consisting of 169 serons of cochineal, 11 serons of jalap, 123 cases of cigars, 138 bales of tobacco, 35 casks of coffee, 111 bales of sarsp a rilla, 63 bags of cocoa, 14 bales of wool, 146 bales of bark, 2 cases of tortoiseshell, - 9 bales of india rubber, 11 pack ages of straw hats, and 87 packages of sundries. August 19 La Plata passed the schooner Belle, of Hali fax, in lat. 27 36 N.. long. 57 42 W. ; August 2), the French ship Regulus Nantais, of Marseilles, in lat. 30 40 N. ; long. 54 11 W. The United States' ship Saratoga sailed from Greytown for Colon July 30. Her Majesty's ship Tartar had sailed from Colon for Greytown. rho American steamers Central America and Grenada sailed from C)lon on the 3.1 of August for New York. Her Majesty's ship Alarm was at Panama. _ . The Royal mail steamer Atrato arrived at St. Thomas's from Southampton, all well, Aug. 16, at 8 a.m., just as La Plata was:leaving. The Clyde was at St. Thomas's, from the Windward Islands; the Conway at St. Thomas's, refitting for the Jamaica route; the D3o at St. Thomas's, from the Gulf of Mexico ; the Derwent at Barbadoes, from Trinidad, &c ; the Eagle at Jamaica ; the Solent at St. Thomas's, from the Jamaica route ; the Thames on the Spanish Main ; the Trent at St. Thomas's, from the Spanish Main. The news from Jamaica affords very little interest, and extends to the 11th inst. Governor Darling had receired several addresses from the inhabitants, congratulating him upon his assumption of the government of the island, to which he made suitable replies in the usual way. Fever, as usual at this season of the year, was prevalent, but there had been no fatal cases. The island was visited with some refreshing showers, which will, no doubt, con tribute to the increase of the ensuing crops, which bid fair to yield abundantly. Tranquillity prevailed, and trade altogether presented a rather lively appearance. De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligences of the 10th inst. states that great inactivity prevailed in the produce market, excepting in the articles flour, pork, and fish. Of the former large sales had been made; 800 barrels were taken at 455, and a sale of 1,300 barrels to arrive had been closed at the same price ; but a speculator anxious to close operations had allowed a parcel of 3.00) barrels to go at 425. In fish a little speculative feeling had been evinced, and no cargoes having arrived old fish had been less neglected. Clrnmeal continued dull, and stocks large. Very little coffee at market ; prices ranged fro:n 463 to 524 per 100'b. Stool of rice was light ; a lot of 300 bags Patna had been parcelled out at 224 per 1001 b.

From Demerara the chief item of news is an out_ rageous attack made by a low rabble of women and boys on Governor and Mrs. Wodehouse, as they were pro ceeding from the Public Buildings to embark for England. A large crowd, composed of the lowest scum of the po. pulation, had assembled in front of the market, and as tha Governor and Mrs. Wodehouse, accompanied by the Bishop of Guiana. Mr. Walker (the Lieutenant-Go vernor), the Chief Justice, Hon. W. B. Wolseley, Hon. D• Macdonald, Hon. Dr. Blair, Sir W. H. Holmes, Mr. A• F. Gore, Mr. J. Brumell, Mr. E. T. E. Dalton, Mr. W H. Ware, Mr. R. S. Turton, and several other gentlem"n• were walking to the Stelling they were assaulted by the mob wi , h stones, plantain stalks, and other missiles. We regret to say that Mrs. Wodehouse was struck on the forehead wi'h a stone; the Bishop received several blows. the Chief-.Tustic:s was 'wounded in the ear, and Mr. Wolseley in the face. Several other gentlemen wera struck with missiles of one kind and another. The police charged the mob and kept them back, but they took none into custody ; and, although there were several detectives among the crowd in plain clothes, they made no arrests. The conduct of the police is much complained of by the Demerara journals. Having got safely on board', his Excellency and lady took their departure, the guns of the fort saluting the Governor as the steamer passed. The outrageous conduct of the mob had caused a universal feeling of indignation throughout the city, and several public meetings of different bodies had been held, and resolutions of condemnation passed, with addresses to his Excellency. The cultivation of cotton In the colony had commenced in earnest. One gentleman, the proprie tor of estates on the east coast, had imported a quantity of Sea Island cotton seed from Savannah, sufficient for 209 acres ; and other gentlemen has also commenced to grow cotton. There has been some heavy showers and thunderstorms during the last fortnight. The growing canes were thriving under the genial influence of alternate rain and sunshine. At present comparatively little sugar was being made,- and freights were consequently scarce. The exports for the past fortnight had been :—Sugar, 411 hhds 14 trcs 139 bls ; rum, 277 pun 72 hh Is 4 bls ; foreign sugar, 18 hh Is, 2 trcs ; molisses, 272 pun 18 hhds; rice, 1,000 bags ; wine, 2 quarter casks ; 1 box arrowroot ; starch and preserves, 16 cases preserved salmon, 3 bls fish glue. - At Barbadoes the` House of Assembly hag met once during the fortnight, but no business of any moment was transacted. The crop prospects were good, and the weather excellent, The provision crop was likely to yield in abundance. The island continued healthy. From the other islands there is no news of any im portance. Pacific advices have been anticipated. RESCUE OF SEVIN CERN PER ION; FlOn DEO WNING. PILL (Betsroe), Aeg. 25,—Yesterday, at about one pen., one of our pilots' ships, then' at anchor off Clevedon, descried a beat, and a numbsr of people in her, driving towards the S )uth-west Patch Sand, the wind blowing strong from SSW, and they immediately hove up their anchor and male towards them, and wire jest in time to save them being driven on the sands, where no human aid would have been of any avail. Throwing them a rope they succeeded in towing them off, and brought them to Purtohead, which place they left in the most foolish manner, under the fdlowing circumstances:—Three females and 14 men and boys, who had come from Bristol to Portshead, with some other escurt.ionis s, got into a b ,at about 16 feet long, and rode towards the Ceann4 during the fore noon, when it was flee, the tide then bEirg a strong ebb which carried them out of sight of the landing-place, and the wind freshening from tha south drove them about ten miles towards the above patch, when the beat became nnmanageble, and fright overcame the party, in which state they were providentially rescued. THE RIGHT TO HOLD A FAIR.—(la Saturday, at Lam beth police-court, Mr. Milian "Wale, the proprietor of Mauer House Tavern, adj ,doing the Surrey Gardens, was again examined upon the charge of allowing a fair to be held on a certain piece of ground occupied by him, without lawful authority. The particulars of this case have already appeared in our columns. It was proved by the police that there was a regular fair lel Ic n the premises. There was a shooting gallery, two swings, four stalls, three wheels of fortune, a platform for dancing dogs and other performances, rope dancing, Sze. After hearing the evidence, Mr. Elliot was of opinion that there was not the slightest pretence for calling the place a fair, or for summoning the defendant for such an offence. If the de fendant had permitted gambling he might be charged with that offence. A gentleman who described himself as an inhabitant of the neighbourhood, compleined of the gardens as a complete nuisance. Mr. Eliot said if that were so, the law pointed out a means of checking it. As far as the present summons went it must he discharged. Another charge was made against Mr. WAe for obstructing the police in the execution of their duty in having closed the door of his house, and prevented them from obtaining an exit after inspecting the premises. On this charge the defendant was fined 20s. THE PENRILYN SLATE QUARRIES.-A tonrist corres pondent of the Shrewsbury Journal. thus describes one of the wonders of Carnarvonstire:—l took a sharp wr.lk to the Menai Suspension bridge, and raturned somewhat • heated to Bangor in time for the coach to the Penrhyn Slate o,nerrie;, one of the " lions" of Bangor, which we reached after a slow but pretty ride, passing through the neat and romantic town of Bethesda. Having joined a small party, we procured a gui3e, and proceeded to view • the wonders of the place. a brief , description of which may not be uninteresting. Tne great quarry is a semicircle, about one mile round, an 1 900 feet deep. The number of men employed ranges from 900 to 1,000, who perform their work by means of " blasting," which takes place every hour oc a signal from a bugle. The effect is tremen boys; as blast after blast is fired the report is echoed a hundred times by the surrounding racks. ,The state thus loosened is split up for various purposes, from paving flags to the smallest roiling slate, the thin slates being all called " ladies'' of some sort. ; thus, the largest size are called " Q teens," the next " Princesses," and so on through some eight or ten sizes. Having remunerated the guide;and purchased some specimens of slate beautifully worked up by the men, we reluctantly took oar leave of the far-famed slate quarries. The amount of slate these quarries yield may be estimated from the following :—During the summer months eleven loaded trains are despatched each day from the quarries by the tramway, each train consisting of 40 waggons, each waggon containiu; two tons and a half. In the winter months the trains are only despatched seven times a day. This would yield the enormous amount of nearly 300,000 tons annually. LOSS OF THE BARQUE MONASCO ON THE COAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND. COWARDLY CONDUCT OF A CATTAIN, The arrival at New York of the survivors oithe barque Monasco, Captain Dailey, of Warren, Me., lost on the coast of Newfoundland, has been already announced. On the 21st of July she ran on Corbin Head, and soon went down, carrying with her 54 Swedish passengers. It is evident from the statement of the survivors, that with ordinary presence of mind on the part of the captain, the whale crew and all the passengers might have been saved. Immediately upon the vessel striking, Captain Dailey, without waiting to dress, thinking the ship had struck an iceberg, ran up from the cabin, and placing himself and his wife in the quarter-boat, gave commands to the crew, which they hastened to obey. It was presently found that the ship was rapidly filling. The steward, at the order of the captain proceeded to stock the quarter-boat with provisions. The captain threatened to shoot the sailors and passengers who attempted to get into the quarter boa'. with him. After much tabour, they succeeded i ► safely launching the life-boat. The captain, finding that the quarter-boat could not be launched,. ran with his wife to th 6 side of the ship where the long-boat lay, and was taken into it. He immediately ordered it to be cut loose from the vessel, refused to admit the steward, who had stocked the qaarter-boat with provisions for him, and. held the lantern that he and his wile might descend tht vessel's side in safety. In the morning the shore was visible about halt' a mile distant, and the stern of the vessel was still six, or eight feet above the water, with the steward and two passengers clinging to it. Twelve persons were landed from the boat, and the Mmaining four proceeded to the wreck an I saved those upon it. The survivors then walked to Burrin, and were kindly received by the villagers. Oa the Saturday following they sailed for St. Peter's. Toe United States consul at St. Peter's gave them food and clothing, and sent them to New York by the Feench brig Louis Gillis. The captain had made an error of 120 miles in his reckoning. AN ACCOMPLISHED SCOUNDREL. The village of Rawtenstall has recently been the scene of the most flagrant acts of impersonation and fraud which have latterly occurred. A poor widow of the name of Dackworth, had a son, who was transported for theft about fifteen years ago. A few months since, a person arrived in the village, representing himself as Mrs. Duck worth's son. He was received with a cordial welcome, and great eagerness was shown to listen to the relation of his adventures in Australia. lie stated that while on hit passage home his wife was washed away during a storm, and that he himself had a narrow escape. He hoe ever succeed-d in retaining possession of a cheque for £1,700 which he had to receive through the bank. Several persons lent him m ,ney, and a neighbouring shop keeper gave the poor widow credit for provisions amounting to £lO, which was to be paid at. once on the receipt of the £1,700. He paid several visits to the Bury Bank to receive the money, but he had always some reason to assign for not being paid. He wrote a letter and directed it to himself, setting forth that he was entitled to receive a fortune of .£15,000 ; but this letter he only showed to particular Mends, alleging as a reason, that it' he made it generally known he would be regarded as an impostor. He professed to be very religious, having been a preacher of the Gospel in Australia lie began to preach in the neighbourhsyd of ltawtensall, and gave relations of his religious experience at several of the Methodist love feasts. Many persons at Rawtenstall re membered Joseph Dackworth who was transported, but they failed to recognise his distinctive features in the returned convict. This was, however, partly accounted for by difference in a person's visage at 32 years of age, when contrasted with his appearance at 17. The returned convict appeared to be more than 32 years of age, but the hard hips he had undergone might deepen the furrows of age, and give him the appearance of a person more advanced in life. Notwithstanding his religious professions, some serious doubts were entertained by those acquainted with him as to his identity, and when questioned respecting the recollections of his early days, he alleged that a paralpic stroke had deprived him of his early recollections. Surmisings as to his being an impostor becoming more general, he judged it most prudent to deco nap from the neighbourhood ; and the police authorities now hold a warrant for his apprehen sion. Sinop absconding, tidings have arrived respecting his exploits in other localities, particularly at Colae, and Haworth, in Yorkshire. In the latter place he went to a woman and repre zented himself as her husband, who had been transported many years ago. The women, however, noticed the absence of a mark on his person, which satisfied her that pe_was an impostor. THE " TIMES " v. COMMERCIAL FAILURES. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE NORTHERN TIMES SlR,—The London Times has lately been holding forth a large amount of virtuous indignation at the failures which have occurred here, instancing that of Oliver, and more „recent ones which are greatly exaggerated in extent. The Editor of the London Times, in his indigna tion, seems to forget all the London frauds which have been practised on the public within the last few years. I enclose you a list of gold mining com panies, amounting to nearly four and a half millions ; and English mining companies, too voluminous to enumerate, amounting to two and a half million pounds sterling—making together near seven mil lions, say to nothing of other abortive schemes— Falkland Island Company, South Sea Railway Company, &e., all promoted in I _ondon, the very hot bed of all bubbles. A. few of the gold companies returned a few shillings per share out of the 1. paid, of the remainder not one farthing will ever be recovered. Probably the London Times can inform the deluded victims to whom they may apply for payment of their claims for deposits, setting aside altogether the premiums, of which many hundred thousands of the shares were sold. It would only be a generous action on the part of the proprietors of the London Times if they would return the small profit made on the adver tisements inserted in the Times by the London gentlemen. It is surprising, the London Times possessed of so much virtue, would receive money for advertisements inserted in their paper to delude the public. The Times professed to be fully aware of the character of the bubble schemes and to caution the public. I enclose you my card, and am, sir your obedient servant, TRUTH. , •, Shares.
