The opposition to it declared in the protests of Mr. Bulwer and Lord Nor manby is unequivocal. The interview of the Marquis of Normanby with M. Guizot yes , erdav was, it is presumed, a very animated ore, for when M. Guizot issued from his cabinet to conduct the noble lord to the entrance. he was much flushed—a matter of rare occurrence with him. Lord Normanby showed quite as much colour. They had scarcely separated, when M. Guizot was besieged by persons anxious to learn what had been the nature of their conversation. It became known immediately that M. Guizot professed himself satisfied with the communication made to him, which (as I am informed) he described as couched in terms much more moderate than he had expected. This naturally produced a favour able effect out of doors, but to-day there is another ver sion of the story in circulation. It is said that the pro tast presented yesterday to M. Guizot by Lord Norrnanby expressed in the most energetic terms the hostility of the British government to the contemplated marriage of the Duke de Montpensier with the Infanta of Spain, which, the document contended, would bt in direct contraven tion of the Treaty of Utrecht. It added—if I be, as I think I am well informed—that eve n if th e t reaty o f Utrecht baciceased to exist, or had nevcr bad existence, the British government 'would protest with eunal energy against the marriage, on the broad general ground that it would affect the interests of all Europe, and disturb the balance of power. The document is described to me as concluding by the expression of a fear, or a conviction, that `the marriage is calculated injuriously to affect the relations subsisting between France and Great Britain.' "No reply has been made, I believe, to this protest. It was immediately forwarded to the king at St. Cloud. His Majesty came into town in the course of the day, his face, like that of M. Guizot, bearing the appearance of satisfaction. A messenger was dispatched to London in the afternoon. " Thus you will see that the first step has been taken by the British Government in opposition to this matri monial union. I know not what ought to be the next diplomatic move, but in the meanwhile events progress. The Duke de Montpensier took leave to-day of his friends. He paid M. Guizot two visits, and proposes positively to depart from Paris next Monday morning. You will per cieve, therefore, that a crisis of some kind is at hand. The correspondent of the Morning Herald, however. writing on the same day, says that Lord Normanby's note did not contain one word of menace, did not contain a protest, and did not even demand an adjournment of the marriages. The note concludes some general observations on the inconveniences which might arise from the project in question, by an assurance that such observations have been offered in the most friendly spirit, and with the in tention that the good understanding between the coun tries shall not be interrupted. Which of these two authorities is right we do not pre tend to say. LANCASHIRE RAILWAYS.—The Railway Times of Saturday, in introducing a favourable article on the Li verpool, Ormskirk,and Preston Railway, mentions T Holmes, Esq , as its originator, and says that the meet ing to be held on Wednesday, of the shareholders, natur ally "suggests certain inferences as to the compensation which be is to receive." The following is a portion of our contemporary's article:—" If England has reason to hp nrAnd nF hoe rnilankr. a • cause for congratulation in favour of hers, all of which have been uniformly prosperous. The fact is, that Lan cashire is not only one of the most:populous sections of the kingdom, but one which combines within itself all the chief elements of success.

Contiguous to the whole of the northern portion. it is matter of notoriety, that coal and iron nr" abundant ; and the value of the cotton manufactures alone, amounts to upwards or £06.000,000 annually, showing an average increase of about £16.000.000 every ten years, as instanced in 1824, 1834, and 1844." LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—TLe nature of the extensive works now going on at Euston-square is thus specified by the Morning Chronicle :—The principal en trance to the station in Drummond -street w . . 11 undergo alteration. In a line with it, however, at the south-west corner of Wittlebury-street, a receiving -house is to be erected ; and adjacent to this at the back, running the whole length of the street, about 800 feet, will be formed a station, so as to correspond with the one on the opposite side, both verging into the permanent line. At the head of this edifice nearest Drummond-street a commodious pavilion will betuilt for the express accommodation of the Royal Family. The building will be of the Doric or der. Further up the same aide of the above street, ano ther entrance to the terminus will be found, leading to a range of stores for pareds and the auditors' office, They will be three stories in height, and in unison with the ge neral style of architecture of the other parts. To the left of the extreme end of this second station, extending over the left of Cardington•street, nearly to the [lamp stead-road, and beneath where Bircbmoor-street stood, ; mmense buildings are in course of erection.

STANDARD. DEAR SIR,-1 beg' to call your attention to what ap. pears to me a very shabby attempt on the part of the proprietors of the Woodside Ferry. to' obtain custom for their boats to the prejudice of the proprietors of the Birkenhead Ferry. lalute io the bwird they have stuck tip in their hosts - with "Birkenhead by Woodside" painted on it ; and what is worse, the police themselves sometimes lead ynu astray by miscullinz the boats. Last Saturday niOlt I was gO : ing across to Birkenhead, and seeing a boat to George's P,er, I asked the policeman , r it was the Birkenhead but knowing the shabby 'at, he replied that it wa inquire t to be cautioned not to ray. If any meaning is Bit ken head Per d travellets he inquires for a Woodside boat, he means will take him to the Woodtide Ferry ; and therefore, if the authorities have the power of so doing, they ought to compel each bolt to have no na , Le placarded except that of the ferry to which they belong. If they have no power to put a stop to this unworthy attempt of the Woodside people to cb.ain passengers, I would advise Messrs. E. and S. Willoughhv to have a flaming board with "to , oat whict Birkenhead y" painted on it, and elevated as high as the mast-head, so that neither they nor their friends may he taken in, and that all who can read may be able to see at once which is the boat which will take them to the ferry where they wish to v. Thou,ch I have been in the habit of crossing the river for the last twenty years, I was very near trusting to the policeman's word, as it was too dark to read what was written on the board, and going into the Woodside host, which had I done, I should have had no time to repair the error, as the boat was on the point of starting. No doubt many are taken in in the same way.—l remain, dear Sir, yours most truly, VI ATO R INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPACY For our part we urge, says the Herald, in the strongest manner, the immediate and the large increase of the epis copacy of England. But we should be content with forty, or about twelve or fourteen above the present number, being at the rate of one bishop to every 400,000 of the people. But this ratio would leave Bangor and St. Asaph united; for, together, they have only 354,000. Meanwhile, however, the chief want of all remains un recorded. Can it be borne that Lancashire, with its 1,600,000 inhabitants, should be left any longer without a bishop? To say that the Bishop of Chester, excellent. man that he is,—is well able to take care of the 2,200,000 of people committed to his charge, is to s.iy t in tact, that eight good bishops would be enough for the whole of England! But Manchester, it is said may be otherwise provided for—funds may be provided in some other quarter. We of tnec we would urg lid not consist in pecuniary questions. What is, that a bishopric of Manchester is at present enacted, and provided for, by statute ho would repea at" some other way m resident, ant, ts( NOLD. Esa .Le . Ja . Rc . Le .Jo _Ch Mr. I ..IVil ..

We doubt if any such " other plan will be proposed. The result would be, that we should would equ ranches! er have commit►ed the most extraordinary absurd;ty ; but meanwhile the " other plan" for a bishopric of Manchester would be indefinitely postponed. We want. then, a large and important addition to the episcopacy of England. We want Two new B.shops in the diocese of London. Winchester. One Two One Chester Exeter „ Lincoln Two One All these new bishops would have larger charges than the bishop of the united see of Bangor and St. Asaph. Cons quently, we are not able to consent to the conti- nuance of two bishops in that little corner of the island, until t ese larger wants have been first attended to. York. Durham Now, for this addition to the episcopacy, we neither ask additional revenues nor additional seats in Parliament. Most High Churchmen are now quite prepared to abandon all claim to either. It is not long since we read, in a journal professing very High Church Principle , :, a pro position for 40 bishops, with incomes of £3OOO each, and the 40 to elect 10 (besides the archbishops) to sit in Par liament; these 10 having n further allowance, for town expenses, of £lOOO a.year for each. It is clear, that the present revenues of the bishops would suffice to defray the whole of this charge. Now we believe a plan of this kind would be received by all classes of churchmen with delight; and that any Governmen. would have earned endless fame by proposing such a reform. Meanwhile, we must once more earnestly deprecate any retrograde movement. The act of 1836 provided for a bishop of Manchester. We now look for the fulfilment of that expectation. And we trust that any individual who stands between the country and the realisation of this hope, wi!l at least ex plain, very distinctly, exactly how and when, upon some new plan—and that within a few months—the bishopric of Manchester is to be. constituted. MONEY MARBET-SATURDAY NIGHT.--Consols closed a shade better than they opened. The amount of business was limited in the extreme, and long before the markets shut meat of the dealers had left for the day. The inactivity of the speculators continues the theme of general complaint. Consols left off this afternoon 95/ to for money, and 95/ to 1 for the account. Bank Stock was done for the account at 2101. Exchtqutr-bills brought a rather higher premium to-day, and were quoted 12s• to 15s. pm. The latest bargains in the foreign mar ket this afternoon were—Brazilian Five per cents, at ; the New Bonds at 66 ; Ecuador, at 3 • Mexican for the account, at 24/ and 25 ; Peruvian, a t 37 ; Spanish Five per Cents, at 26/- ' • the Three per Cents fo r th e account , at 3(4 and 37k •, Venezuela, for the account, at 421 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 971 ; and Dutch Four per Cents., Certificates, at 95. Money is in fair de mand to-day on commerc'al paper, without being in any degree scarce. Nominally, the rate fixed by the discount houses for first-class pauer is 3 per cent., that being the minimum rate of the Bank of England, but really it would he hard to obtain accommodation under 31. On the Stock-Exchange money is easy. THE DAGENHAM MURDER.—The wife of Serjeant Parsons, against whom charges were made of being in some way implicated in this horrid affair, has died under melancholy circumstances. She had been recently con fined, and it is supposed that the particulars connected with the melancholy event had such an effect upon her feelings as to accelerate her death. It is stated that there has been a meeting of the several heads of divisions of the police at Scotland-yard, for the purpose of devising the best means of discovering the murderer or murderers of tha unfortunate man Clarke. The result of that meeting is, the proposition of enlarging the amount of the reward for the discoverer of the murderer from £lOO to £aoo ; that us the police feel that a certain odium has been cast upon the force generally by the non.discovery of the murderer, they propose to raise by voluntary snbscrip_ tions amongst themselves the other £4OO, in order that the perpetrator may be brought to justice, and that the scale of subscriptions from constables, inspectors " ohn i will be settled by the heads• of division- 90-- left to the men's discretion to subscribe to it.—Herald RELIEF OF IRISH DISTRESS.—From multitud reports of baronial sessions rneetin S, it won the gentry and cess-payers of Ireland are rest up to, if notgo beyond, the spirit of the widely- Labour Rate Act.

RAILWAY METROPOLITAN TERIIINI.—The novel sight will soon be witnessed of many hundreds of men em ployed in the very heart of London in the construction of a railway. The London and South-Western Company have now got possession of nearly all the property necessary for the extension of their line to Hungerford Bridge, and the most active preparations are making for commencing the construction of the works without delay. There will be a magnificent station at Hungerford Bridge. The extent and style of the erection may be inferred from the fact that its cost will exceed £lOO,OOO. The expenses of con structing the extension line from Nine Elms to Hun gerford Bridge, including the purchase of property, will not, it ' is suppofed, be under £600.000, making, with ti station, £700,000, or the enormous sum of The South-Western C.--- • - ^inal st.t:- per mile ing their prin do not mean to stop t! line to Loudon Bridge. ~ o mpany, though mat at Huugerford Bridge but are to ex re means v connect their station with that of the London and 3d the N m to Ilu SECOND EDITION.
