The Cornwall Railway will complete the trunk line of communica-
tion between London, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Falmouth, and Pen-
zance. The; length of the line will be 63 miles, extending from Ply-
month to Truro and Falmouth, joining the South Devon Railway at
Plymouth, and the West Cornsvan Railway at Truro. It received the
sanction of Parliament in 1846; the works were immediately com-
menced; about seven miles Of the line wera in a very forward
state,y
the land for which was purchased and paid for. when the monetary
crisis of 1847 compelled the directors to suspend the works, and put
an end to the contracts which had been entered into.

56,253 shares of 20/. each - assigning to each holder of an original
share of 5 1. two shares of 201. each ; and of an original sharei, of 25/.,
one share of 201.; thereby reducing the liability of the shareholders
20 per cent. ; all sums of money which have been paid up on the
51/. and 251. shares are to be deemed to be paid up on the 20/.
shares, which are substituted for them, amounting to 3/. 15s. per
201. share.
The importance of the line as the last connecting link between the
metropolis and the extreme western ports of Falmouth and Pen,
zance will be apparent.
Falmouth, it is well known, is the port of call for a large propor-
tion of our homeward bound shipping ; 1,324 vessels have called
there during the last year. The construction of the railway, and
the.extensien_of the electric telegraph would be of immense.import-
since in the transmission mails, passengers, *React,
enc.% and -communication Thefween the first chanDet p
1
parts of the empire.
The dangers and delays of the channel navigation are,well known
to nautical men, and are immensely increased after having passed
the Lizard. 'Falmouth, immediately within the Lizard, offers a safe
port accessible at all times, and in all weathers, and most easily
protected from hostile attack.
Cornwall is well known throughout the world for its mineral
wealth, abounding as it does in mines of copper, tin, lead, iron, and
other metals; a large proportion of the capital embarked in these
undertakings is provided by parties living out of the county. The
importance of the line to all persons so interested is obvious.
Its fisheries, which admit of unlimited extension, furnish supplies
to the home and foreign markets.
Its early vegetable productions are even now sent to London, and
other parts of England ; and Cornwall will become the garden for
the supply of these articles when a railway can secure their fre-
quent, uninterrupted, and rapid transmission.
Penzance, Falmouth, and the various watering-places along the
line of the Cornwall Railway, will be eagerly sought by visitors
and invalids, as soon as the railway shall be extended into the
county.
The population is remarkably locomotive in its habits, and the
large amount of local traffic attracts the attention of all persons
'Visiting the county.
The construction of the line involves no engineering difficulties, or
extraordinary works, and the directors have offers from responsible
contractors to take and complete the whole of the works at the price
stated in their engineer's estimates.
From the experi -nee obtained in the construction of the West
Cornwall Railway, the Directors have every reason to believe the
line will be completed considerably within these estimates.
The traffic estimated at different periods, and compared with that
now realised on the South Devon line, at the eastern extremity, and
the West Cornwall at the western, warrants the Directors in stating
their firm oelief that a revenue will be realised, which will yield a
high per centage on the capital to be expended.
The landowners are very favourably disposed, and will part with the
land which may be required for the line on very advantageous terms.
Several large landowners have already consented to take up the
value of their land in shares.
The importance of the line in a national point of *view has been
recognised in Parliament ; and very recently by the Treasury and
by the Admiralty. The Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and
South Devon Companies are largely interested in the Company.
The Directors having resolved to offer to the public a limited num-
ber of forfeited shares, at a discount of 3/. 15s. per 201. share, on pay-
ment of 15s. per share—being the call now made, and making
-4/. 10s. per share paid up -h ill receive applications for such shares in
the undermentioned form, addressed to the care of Messrs. F. W.
Thomas and Sons, 53, Threadneedle-street, until the 25th of May
instant.
The incoming Shareholders will, in addition to this discount, have
the advantage of the land already purchased, the works executed,
and the Act of Incorporation.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- -
SIR,—In the following list of the probable starters.
and riders for the ensuing Derby," although I have but
little doubt it will be found to be tolerably correct, yet
in some respects it will naturally be otherwise, especially
with regard to the jockies, many of whom as yet are
not regularly engaged, and several depend entirely upon
the claims of their first masters, who have not yet made
up their minds as to the starting of some of their
horses, who in reality possess no earthly chance of win-
ning. For instance, if Mr. Bowes claims Butler for
Daniel O'Rourke, of course Lord Orford will have
to find another jockey for Alcoran; and should Nat
mount Harbinger, Rogers will ride Kingston, and Pettit
Maidstone, but if Templeman backs Harbinger, Nat
will be upon Kingston, and Rogers on Maidstone. There
are several other doubtful mounts, but I have compiled
the best list I possibly could at this early period, from,
in some respects, rather scanty materials.
Before giving the almost certain list of starters, I will
just name those horses which may, or may not start, and
which form the third class to which I referred in my
notes of last week. I was unable then to say whether
this class would send a few starters or not, and shall
continue in a like uncertain condition for a day or so.
The following list includes all the doubtful starters:—
Phantom, Poodle, colt by Harkaway, colt by Hetman
Platoff, Golden Age, Filius, Father Thames, Vortex,
Hierarchy, Northman, Womersley, Peppermint, Ma-
sham, Sackbut, Daniel O'Rourke, Princess colt, King
Fisher, and L3pidist.
In the following list will be found the names of the
candidates with their jockies and trainers, viz :
Lord Orford's br c Alcoran—Beresford—F. Butler.
Mr; Dorrien's bl c Chief Baron, Nicholson-Ducker—
Kitchener.
Mr. Stebbing's oh c Alfred the Creak—Stabbing—Fonn.
Mr. Merry's br c Hobble Noble—Saunders—Whitehouse.
Lord Eghnton's b c Claverhouse—Fobert—Marlow.
Lord Zetland's ch c Augur—Atkinson—A. Day.
Lord Exeter's b c Stockwell—Harlock—Norman.
Lord Exeter's bl c Ambrose—Harlock—J. Mann.

" Dr. Pickforl is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

AQUATICS.
ROWING MATCH.
A very gallant oars' wager came off yesterday after-
noon between Messrs. Lane and Herring and Perry and
Jones, landsmen, all of whom have, "many a time and
oft," signalised themselves both as seullers and oars-
men. The race was for 20/. a-side, from Putney to
Mortlake, and Perry and Jones were, in some instances,
backed at 6to 4. Lane and his partner won the chance
of station, and took the Fulham side. A capital start
was effected, which was immediately succeeded by the
favourites taking a trifling load; but off the Messrs.
Searle's Lane and Herring began to show in front, re-
tained their lead throughout a very determined struggle,
and won by two or three lengths.

[PRICE SD.

r.rHE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

0 have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Constitutionnel publishes the letter of General
LAMORICIERE, by which he refuses to take the oath
of fidelity to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic.
The letter, which is addressed to t 4 Minister of War,
and dated Brussels, 14th inst.,
it at follows t—
" General,—Torn from my home, thrown into prison,
proscribed in contempt of the laws, I did not believe you
wourd have gone so far as to ask me for an oath of
fidelity to the man whose power, usurped by violence, is
only maintained by force.
"But a document emanating from your department
contains a paragraph which evidently applies to the

Two ioshreed, and imposes on them
pmlyontothtshiareseuamllmowo bned.s.to
"I hear it said on all sides that the oatsh 13 not Ind.
ing towards one who has not kept his own. Widely as
this doctrine is now used, I reject it. Delay Ido not
require—the oath I refuse.
" I know the consequence of my resolution. Twenty-
nine years and a halt passed in the army, thirty-six
campaigns resulting from 18 years' war in Algeria (from.
May, 1830, to January, 1848), some services rendered
to France abroad and during the fatal days of June,
1848, services which, perhaps, are not yet forgotten—all
this will be reduced to nothing, I shall bo struck out
from the lists of the army. Once more it will be proved
that rank is at the mercy of arbitrary power. That
rank was made the patrimony of the officer by the law
of May 19, 1834; he could not lose it but by the sen-
tence of a court-martial. That law is trampled under
foot by a Government which respects neither person nor
property.
" Thus the sword which I had devoted to the service
of France is about to be torn from my hand. What
could Ido with it under such a Government? But if—
which-God forbid—our frontiers should be threatened, I
would bastes to resume it, and to fight for national in-
dependence, for history sufficiently tells me that in pre-
sence of extreme dangers, brought about by ambition,
despotism does not require an oath from brave men,
who march in the defence of the country.
(Signed) " General DE LAMORICIERE."
The Presse, in its weekly commercial review,
says :
" The retail trade of the capital has profited largely
by the presence of the number of strangers who came
to see the fetes. A great quantity of goods was sold in
the shops, and almost every branch of business has been
benefited by the influx of sight-seers. The trade of Paris
had need of this favourable circumstance, as for several
months past the manufacturers of the departments had
been better treated, as far as commands were concerned,
than the articles made in Paris, where the revival of
business was only partial. The foreigners who lately
arrived, and in particular the English, have made consi-
derable purchases. As to exports, they have been late
this year, but the steamers which have last arrived from
the United States have brought over orders for French
goods. The mercantile position of the United States has
much improved within the last six months. It may be
remembered that in 'February the advices from New
York announced so great a glut of goods that forced
sales were effected at from 40 to 50 per cent. of loss.
But the last letters from North America are more sa-
tisfactory. A great part of the goods on hand had been
disposed of in the interior of the country, end the Ame-
rican dealers, now requiring new supplies, have sent over
large orders, particularly for the goods manufactured at
Rouen and Mulhausea.'
The proceedings of the Legislative Body on Sa-
turday were not of any great interest. The President
informed the Chamber that he had received from the
Minister of State a Bill tending to modify certain
articles of the Criminal Code, relative to crimes com-
mitted by French subjects in foreign countries. This
measure was sent to the bureaux for examination.
M. LANGLAIS (de la Sarthe) then read a supplemen-
tary report from the Committee on the Convict Re-
habilitation Bill, relative to the amendment adopted
by the Legislative Body in the sitting of May 3, and
since then agreed to by the Council of State. This
document was ordered to be printed and distributed,
the discussion being postponed until afterwards.
General PARCHAFFE next read the report from the
Committee charged to examine the Bill calling out
80,000 men from the class of 1852. The Com-
mittee, he said, was altogether in favour of the mea-
sure. After a report from M. SEVERIN ABBATUCCI-,
and ,another report from M. ALFRED LEROUX on
Iseveral Bills of local interest, the House adjourned
after a short sitting, at four o'clock, to Tuesday.
We read in the Courrier du Havre :—" It is po-
sitively stated that M. PROUDUON, having obtained
from the PRINCE PRESIDENT the remission of his
punishment, has arrived here, and is about to embark
fur the United States. It is, it is said, on con-
dition of his quitting France that he was set at li-
berty."
We read in the Patrie—" The banquet offered to
the sub-officers arose from a happy inspiration of the
PRINCE PRESIDENT. After the theatrical perform-
ance at the Tuilieries on Wednesday, the PRINCE said
to General MAGNAN, ' General, an idea has just oc-
curred to me. We of the grand epaulettes have to-
day had an exquisite dinner, why should not the
galons enjoy themselves as well as the graines
cf epinards ? Can you lend me for to-morrow your
splendid room at the Ecole Militaire ?) Ten minutes
afterwards CHEVET received an order for a dinner
for 3,000 persons, and the next day all the delegates
of the army drank the health of their noble enter-

tainer."
A grand musical mass was celebrated on Saturday
morning at half-past eleven o'clock by the Arch-
bishop of Paris in the church of St. Eustache, on the
occasion of giving the benediction of the Church to
the busts of the PRINCE PAEIDENT, which were in-
tended for the central markets. A great crowd was
present long before the ceremony began. The busts
were brought in with great pomp, preceded by the
band of the republican guard, and followed by 100
young girls in white, blue scarfs, and having each a
wreath of white roses on the head. The porters of
the markets carried the busts, each being escorted by
the corporation for which it was destined. The
cortege was closed by the Prefect of Police, the Mayor
of the arrondissement-, and the other civil authorities,
and a number of officers of the National and Repub-
lican Guards. After all the persons composing the
procession had taken their places, the mass was exe-
cuted, after which the Archbishop pronounced an
appropriate address, and then gave his benediction to
the busts. Tile procession then left the church in
the order in which it had entered, and the busts were
placed in due form in the places appointed for them.
In the evening a ball took place in the linen-hall, at
which the various dealers of the markets and their
families andfriends were present. Everything passed
over with the greatest order.
The bust of the PassinEsir of the Republic was
put up on Sunday in the Marche de la Madeleine,

SPAIN.
Oar accounts from Madrid are of the 12th.
General DE GRAMMONT, who passed two or three
days at Madrid, and some hours at -Aranjuex, had
started on the 12th for Paris. A number of rumours
had been current concerning the object of his visit ;
but nothing certain was known on the subject, and it
was stated in well-informed quarters that his visit
was merely one of ceremony.
The Government was said to receive offers from
different mercantile houses to undertake the esta-
blishment of steam communication between Spain
and her Transatlantic possessions.
