" Cahar has been, and very recently, a very fertile country ;
but its inhabitants are either carried away by the Burmese, or
have evacuated the district and gone down to Sylhet ; it is
now perfectly deserted, and yields nothing but forage for our
cattle. . .

" Captain Norrison and Lieut. Fisher are in advance, with
the pioneers directing their labours, covered by the local corps,
and two companies of the 42d. The description given of the
country, and the natural obstacles to the advance of an army,
are indeed formidable if not insurmountable; but we are anx-
iously looking for the arrival of our Commandant, Erigadier-
General Shuldham, to make the attempt. As yet nothing but
difficulties have presented themselves, and they of a nature not
so easily overcome in a country like this, where provisions and
the means of transporting them are not available. I need not
say how extremely difficult it is to move such a body of troops
as I have detailed. We have neither seen nor can we even hear
of an enemy, nearer to us than Illunniporc; and fear they are
secure from the natural obstacles the country presents be-

Not a grain of Wheat have we received the last week from Ire-
land, and only 397 quarters Coastwise; the remainder, nearly
4,000, is from the Baltic, and, as the law now stands, cannot
be used for consumption here. Durbfg the week, the trade
has been in a quiet state, except for Oats and Beans to specu-
lators, and a part for consumption, the fineness of the weather
having great influence, it being favourable for Wheat, but in-
jurious to Oats, Barley, Beads, &c. on the dry lands, forcing
them to a premature state of maturity. To-day's market was
not well attended by dealers, and Wheat, except English, has
been bought on lower terms. Oats fully maintain their price,
and Barley and Malt is more inquired for, but not dearer.
Beans are 2s. per quarter dearer; Flour and Oatmeal are
without alteration.

—Some years ago, the disadvantages arising from the crowded
and confined state of Smithfield induced several Members of
the Corporation to endeavour to accomplish the total removal
of the market, as it was impossible, in consequence of the
value of the surrounding houses, to adopt a plan for the en-
largement of the present site, but the project was completely
defeated by the opposition of persons who had great local in-
terests concerned in the continuation of the present plan. The
palpable inconvenience attached to the present circumstances
of the market, however, will, no doubt, give to the exertions of
the Corporation a chance of success, which was upon the for-
mer occasion denied to them. Besides, it is considered as
reflecting disgrace upon the city of London, that, while all
other parts of the metropolis are daily undergoing such im-
provements as actually make them escape the recollection of
tli•se who are not constant visitors, the nuisance of Smithfield
market should daily become more odious ; that although many
years ago the market was considered too small, it should still
remain in state quo. notwithstanding the increase in cattle
brought thither for sale of 50 per cent., and of sheep 30 per
cent. It is, we have been given to understand, intended, if
the project for making a new North Road be ellected, to
propose the erection of a great City Market in some lace in its
vicinity. _ _

PERU AND SPAIN.

The following are the articles of allecree which
has been issued by the Peruvian Government
against the commerce and manufactures of the
mother country :-
-; • , -THE COUNCIL OF THE GOVERNMENT
Considering that the obstinacy of the Spanish Government in
continuing hostile to the Republic, to sustain its pretended'
rights, imperiously demands vigorous measures to compel
the abinet of Madrid to listen at length to the voice of jus-
t tice and of its own interests—l have decreed and,do decree as
follows : • •
1. Effects of every description belonging to the subjects of
Spain, which shall hereafter be introduced into the territory
of -the Republic, shall be confiscated for the service of the
State, under whatever flag the ship may sail in which they
ate found.
2: Four months after,the publication of this decree, all-ships
in wliich Spanish property. of whatever description is found,
shall be declared lawful prizes before the competent tribunals,
and their cargoes confiscated.
3. The• fruits of the Spanish soil, and all the products of Spa-
nish industy, without exception, seized in the Peruvian terri-
tory, shall be considered Spanish property, always providing
-that it amounts in value to 100 piasters.
4. In all cases in which there may be doubt as to the Spanish
''origin, such goods as may be introduced by sea or land; they
shall be resalved by the chief commissioners of the local Cus-
terulhouse,,assisted by two skilful persons; and in case of re-
clamation, the Minister for the Home Department shall pro-
ceed to-nominate two others, whose sworn declaration shall be
irrevocable.
5. The Commissioners of Customs. are personally revon-
sible for the illegal introduction -*if the fruits or products of
Spain.
6. The Minister of State in the Home Department is charged
with the execution of this 'decree.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

It is expected that the Coporation will make a determined
stir in order to render facilities to the public, with respect to
the business of this market, which has never been sufficiently
large, within the recollection of any living person, for the ac-
commodation of the buyers and sellers of cattle ; and, from the
following statement, which the Lord Mayor caused to be ex-
tracted from the City Chamberlain's books, at the instance of
the Lords of the Treasury, it is evident the difficulties and
impediments, encountered by men of business, on market
days, in Smithfield, must have increased to an intolerable
degree :

SAILING MATCH.

On Thursday the Lady Louisa and the Venus contested a
match made between them for one hundred guineas aside. The
match was to sail from Blackwall to Gravesend, round his Ma-
jesty's ship Flamer, moored there, and back to ►Backwall.
Mr. Groves commanded the Venus, and Mr. Smith the Lady
Louisa. The contest afforded the nautical amateurs a great
treat, and the superior sailing of the Lady Louisa was such as
to lead her owner to believe that she can beat any vessel of her
dimensions, which is 13 tons ; the Venus is something under
12 tons.

RAIL-ROADS.

MR. EDITOR—On looking over a Paper of to-
day, which contains a list of all the New Joint
Stock Companies which have been formed within
the last few months, I was perfectly astounded
to find that their number amounts to no less than
114, and that of this number 20 are Companies
for the laying down of Rail-roads in different
districts throughout the country. How the pur-
chasers of Rail-road Shares can dream that so
many schemes will not seriously, nay ruinously
interfere with one another, or, what is more un-
accountable, how they can suppose that the esti-
mates of the original cost will not be quadrupled,
aye perhaps exceed tenfold, in consequence of
the enormous rise both in iron and coals, which,
through the setting afloat of these plans, has already
taken place, and which will know hardly any
bounds, should but half of the plans be pro-
ceeded in with any show of determination,
is to all sober thinkers a perfect enigma—
Really, Sir, it is passing sad to see the gambling
mania with which respectable capitalists have
inoculated a large portion of the public. Let
nine-tenths of these Rail-road schemes, for in-
stance, be subjected to a thorough critical exa-
mination. Let the lands they are to disfigure
and derange by running through them, and
the consequent opposition to their being laid
down, which they will meet with from hundreds
of landed proprietors, be duly considered : let
their cost at even the present advanced price of
materials, be calculated ; let the necessary slow-
ness of draught, if any degree of safety is to be
ensured, and the stoppages to refill the boilers
with hot water, (for cold water will not do) ; let
the chances of explosion from the power of the
steam ; let the advance of prices in general, from
the terrible rise in iron and coals which are em-
ployed to such an extent in so many houses and
manufactories ; let the probabilities of fractures
of rails, either from frosts, or wear, or pressure,
or the force of the machine thrown the minutest
degree out of a right line by only one of a thou-
sand possible accidental causes ; let the intoler-
able crossings and re-crossings of turnpikes, and
other frequented roads and ways ; let the liabili-
ties to a winter blockade from deep falls or
drifts of snow ; and, above all, let the sudden
and shameful depreciation of canal property,
(a species of property be it remembered), which
gives the means of living to thousands upon
thousands of individuals, to widows and or-
phans, to men, women, and children in every
rank, and under every varying circumstance of
life) be taken ;Ito account, and then let these
select considersi;:t'ons form a theme from the ru-
mination of ny one who chuckles at the idea that
despite of all opposition and every conflicting in-
terest, the Rail-road Bills will be carried, and
himself have a slice of 10, or 20, or 30 per cent.
profit on the original cost of some celebrated
Railway.—Urging these reflections upon your
Railway Readers, and the public in general,
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,

[T2-1E TIMES.

Mr. EtteasDonnel has published a letter,
or manifesto—it is in print, and not addressed to
any body—submitted 46 respectfully to YOUR
consideration ;" but who or what tl►e noun may
be which is understood to correspoud with the
pronoun " your," appeared not upon this official
document. The Catholic cause is in itself, as
we have often said, a respectable cause ; but it
is not to be served by such advocates as the
" pious &teas." Even in this short opening of
a case, he states it unfairly, and defeats, us
he deserves to do, his own purpose. He
accuses the Government of dishonesty in
pretending to put down the Orangemen by
their Act of 1823, because tl►e Act was, in
son►e instances, as Mr. Goulburn himself ac-
knowledges, evaded by those fanatics. lie says
that nothing was done to redress the wrongs or
wipe out the indignities complained of by the
Catholic population, and that the Association
originated in this continuance of Ministerial in-
justice. Now, as for indignities, the grand indig-
nity of all—the celebration of the 12th of July
was put down; the statue—the burden of all
their discontents—the statue was not suffered to
exhibit any marks of Orange insolence. These
things were much talked of while they existed,
but their abolition never stirred up one move.
ment of gratitude or satisfaction. Then, as for
positive injuries, the great weight of tythe was
taken from the poor, and thrown upon the rich,
and the Magistrates were forced to do justice.
The truth is, that the Association was fitted to
work out the objects of the Catholic aristocracy,
and of them alone ; and the priest and the pea-
sant were equally made use of as its engines.

It will be seen that the aggregate increase in London within
and without, is far below the natural proportion which it ought
to bear to that of Westminster, and may be accounted for by
the increased numbs of dwelling-houses, converted into ware-
houses, and from the one prevalent practice among the more
wealthy tits, of taking a residence for their families a fever miles
out of town.
From calculation, it appears that in 18'21, the average pro-
portion of inhabitants to each house was as follows Lon-
don within the walls, 81. In London without, 71. In West.
minster 9 6-Bths.
From the account of suicides in Westminster, which we in.
mud, a few days hack, it appears that there are on an ayerage
20 committed in that city every year, which from the itbove
table it will be seen is tn a proportion of one suicide fof every
MOO inhabitants. Now assuming that the same proportion
prevails in the city of London, it follows that the average of
suicides committed in both cities must b. e about 34 per annum.
The proportion of Males to females in the city of London, it
will be observed, are nearly equal, whereas in Westminster
there are an aye-rage of only 83 males to 97 females.

" Formed to please,—

In ev'ry thing, he seeks with anxious care the public good.'
The mission of his Grace will no doubt be splendid and mg"
nificent in the extreme, and every way becoming the dignity of
that great nation whose Sovereign the Duke is to represent.
With a view to give additional eclat to his Grace's suite, rouT
Gentlemen of great respectability in the County of Northum-
berland, tenants, or rather lessees under the Duke, have made
a spontaneous offer to accompany his Grace, at their own
charge, to the grand scene of Pageantry destined to take
place in flay next, when CHARLES the TENTII is to be
anointed King of the French, in the Metropolitan Church of
Rheims. Something is likewise said of its being extremely ,
probable, that, a deputatioa from the Magistracy of Northutw,
berland, will also accompany his Grace to France. It may be
observed, in point of fact, that, if ever a LORD LIET:'
TENANT stood pre-eminently high in the regards of 3
Province, for an exemplary and dignified discharge of his
various duties, the present Duke of NORTHUMBEILLASP
is precisely that individual. And when we contemplate his
Grace in the relations of private life, we are again called upon •
to say, that kindness and benevolence are the distinguishing •
features of all the acts of this most excellent Nobleman. That
he should be regarded with sentiments of love and veneration
by all who know his transcendant merits is a matter of course.
London, England, 1825-02-15

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]

Yesterday it was confidently reported in the
City, that the dispatches which Government had
received the day before from Paris, conveyed to
them the strongest assurances that the pacific re-
lations subsisting between this country and the
Powers of the Continent were not likely to
suffer any interruption, in consequence of our
policy towards the the New American States.
'l't►ough this report led to an immediate im-
provetnent in the Funds, yet, after diligent
inquiry, we have not been able to trace it to
a source worthy of credit. We apprehend,
therefore, that is was one of those deceptions,
which of late have been so successfully practised
on the money market ; and we are confirmed in
this surmise by what was stated with respect to
Russia. It was said, that her Government would
content itself with the strong protest, which it
has made on this subject ; but, besides the utter
improbability that so great a Power would have
recourse to a proceeding, so wanting in dignity
and wisdom, it was physically impossible that its
sentiments on the subject could have been ascer-
tained at the time. An interchange of com-
munication between London and St. Peters-
burgh cannot be made at this season of the
year in less than twenty-four days ; and in the
present bad state of the roads, occasioned by
the late frightful inundations, we have doubts
whether it could be effected within this period.
It is only three weeks, we believe, since Air.
Canning has appriz••d Foreign Powers of the
course which it was the intention of his Majesty's
Government to pursue towards South America ;
but were it a week more, this would not mate-
rially affect our argument. The Emperor of
Russia would take some time for consideration,
before ire took his final stand on a question,
which, he must be aware, would exercise an in-
credible influence on the dispute, so long pending
between liberal and arbitray principles of
government. If he do not oppose our recogni-
tion of South America, he evidently acquiesces
in the triumph of the former ; and, after the zeal
he has displayed in support of the Monarchical
principle, he would unavoidably incur some ridi-
cule, should he suddenly abandon it in the tame
manner that has been stated. If peace were not
of such paramount value to all parties at this mo-
ment, we should not be sorry to see Russia as-
sume a menacing attitude on this occasion, as it
would afford an excellentopportunity of humbling
her pride, and restraining her arrogant spirit of
interference.—That Power is far more vulnerable
than is commonly imagined ; and should she seek
a pretext of quarrel with this country, the proofs
would be soon afforded.
