THE NEW ACT FOR REGULATING RAILWAYS.--.
George Foot, a pile'. and occasional guard on the
Eastern Counties Railway, was placed at the bur before
Mr. Grove, upon a charge preferred against him by
Mr. Brett, the Superintendent of the railway police, of
having, bee❑ drunk on duty. The prisoner was further
charged with having conducted himself in a disorderly
manner at this Court, and assaulting several metropolitan
police constables.
Mr. Brett, the Railway Company's Superintendent,
stated that the prisoner was sent to B:ent wood on
Monday evening, as acting guard, and he returned to
town next morning, doing duty as porter on the outside
of the third class carriage. Nothing particular was
observed in his appearance or demeanour when he
started, hut on the train reaching the terminus at Shore-
ditch, it was perceived that the prisoner was so drunk
that he could not stand, and Mr. Hall. the manager,
immediately gave him into custody. He had been six
weeks in the Company's service, and brought with him
an excellent character.

PROCLAMATION.

" Soldiers, I can rely upon you! you are yet the same
soldiers of my father. By your means he placed me on
the throne ; by your means he gained liberty for this
country. But our common enemies are unwilling to
leave us in quietness, are unwillinc, that we should enjoy
it. They well know and confess that they cannot shake
the loyalty of a Portuguese soldier ; on this account it
is that they call upon my name and that of the consti-
tution to deceive sou, and make use of you as instru-
ments of their wickedness. Know them well ; their end
is tyranny, which they wish to exercise in my name,
usurping my rights, and rob me of the power which the
constitution gives me, in order that I may not be able to
protect you, afterwards to destroy you, and to the end
that I may remain a slave in th:ir hands, obliged to be-
hold my people oppressei and destroyed, and sign de-
crees of proscription and death, with which they already
threaten my most faithful defenders, who are also yours,
and of the liberty of the nation.
"Soldiers ! allow not yourselves to be deluded.
Follow me, who am the daughter of your General ; and
ye know full well that he never conducted you but to
victory and liberty.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.

On Saturday afternoon about four o'clock, proper,'
to the amount of 507/. in Bank of England notes, gold.
and silver, was stolen from the Victoria Tavern, Liver-
pool-road, Holloway. The money belonged to Mr.
Law, who formerly kept a public-house at Hackne).
It was placed in his trunk, in his bed-room, preparatory
to his leaving London for the north. The parties who
committed the robbery had been aware of this, and laic
a deep plot for obtaining the booty. On Saturday Mr.
Law, the landlord of the Victoria Tavern, received a note
purporting to come from Messrs. Whitbread and Co.,
on business, but en his arrival at the brewery he found
no such communication had been sent. On his retort,
home he learnt that four men bad come to the house,
one ordered a mutton chop, another called for a particu-
lar paper, and the third sent the servant and lacdlady in
various directions to distract their attentian, while on,
of the thieves, it is supposed, proceeded to the bed-room
and carried off the money. There were watches, plate.
and other valuable property in the room, but no-
thing else was carried off. The party, one o!
whom took a glass of brandy before he left,
shortly afterwards quitted the house, but the
robbery was not discovered till Sunday morning. On
examining the trunk, it was found that the lock had
b.-en forced, the various articles tumbled about, and
!he above large sum abstracted. Mr. Richardson has
strong suspicions agdnst one person, of whom he has a
slight acquaintance, and who for some time had been
about his place, with the intention, as is supposed, of
making himself acquainted with his movements. The
notes have been all stopped at the Bank this morning.
Information has been given to the police, a reward of
WO!. offered for the recovery of the property, and
Arcing hopes are entertained that the parties will not
escape with their booty.

ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND

The British steamer Prometheus put into Toulon
last Friday from stress of weather, but went on to

mail from Malta, with dates probably from Alexandria

by the Tartare. The despatches by the Prometheus
may be expected in Paris on Sunday night or Monday.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are inclined to think that the publication of the letter of

.of any service at present.
The letter from Sheffield, describing an attack made by a mob
..on certain parties at Yarmouth eleven days ago, comes too
late, and besides, had the disturbance bees of the serious
nature described, our Correspondent should have stated what
further steps had been takea to punish the assailants.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TIFF. DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
(From the Globe.)
Sir Robert Peel Mr. Macaulay, and Lord John Rusi.ell,
-.st night, rendered it impossible to n 'stake the na urn of
ne position which the House of Commons asumes in propos
og to legislate on the Privilege question. They do not
!oncede one iota of the privilege already possessed by them ;
hey do not abandon their power to assert that privi-
ege independently ; they merely seek a remedy, by the
concurrence of the entire legislature, for the inconveni-
ences which attach to their present mode of proceeding.
If that remedy is refused, they will be not weaker, but
•tronger, for having sought it ; they will be strong in the
strength of the vast majority of the constituent body of this
‘mpire ; they will be strong in the strength of a cause
which it will be thenceforth impossible to regard as asserted
)y mere esprit de corps, without the moderation of justice.
( From the Standard.)
" Extrereurn hunc concede laborem." We entreat a
•areful perusal of last night's debate in the House of
Commons, even though it arose upon the " still vexed"
luestion of privilege. The result, the discharge of
Mr. Sheriff Evans, under a promise to attend
'gain in a month, and the promise that this
edious and tormenting discussion is near its close, must
ie highly gratifying; but the triumph of common sense,
iberty, and justice, affords higher ground for exultation.
Nor do we undervalue the inestimable advantage of again
;inding the great Conservative leaders in their proper dig-
ofied position, and therefore once more encountering the
urious rancour of the Radicals.

(From the Courier•.)
A very large majority of the House of Commons, b)
ssenting to Lord John Russell's Bill, has confirmed
he public belief that this body would nut act incon-
istently with the course which it has hitherto pursue,l
n stepping between the people and the Courts which
•ere designed to protect them from wrong. The Bill
aking its character from the mouth of its parent, is in
ended to insure impunity to transgressors against the laws ;
ut we do not learn from parent or sponsors that there i,
ny provision by which this new and alarming infringe.
.ient on public liberty by the creation of a privilege may
e restrained from abuse.

THE MARKETS.—(T/Ifs DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The prevalence of contrary winds still keops the supplies of
Grain small. The finrst English Wheat rather exceeded the terms
of this day se'nnight, and other qualities have maintained their
value. In Foreign no alteration. The best Barley rather dearer,
while other descriptions sold slowly. Beans and Peas unvaried. In
the Oat trade a little animation, at former prices. Flour met a fair
sale at last quotations.

TEAZLES._A Commercial Traveller writes to
acquaint us that "the apprehensions which were entertained
respecting this plant, from the unheard of continuance of wet
weather, followed by a frost, arc but too well founded. We
are informed that more than half of the plants are quite
destroyed, and that more of them are going daily. It is feared
that the injury will be greater than it was two years since.

T
HE SANATORIUM.—On Friday a meeting
took place at the City of London Tavern, to consider the pro-
priety of forming "a self-supporting establishment for the lodg-
ing, nursing, and cure of sick persons of the middle classes of
both sexes."

CHECK REIN.—The streets of London were
never more slippery than they are at present, in consequence
of the surface being perfectly dry and clean. Horses of all
sorts are slipping up and receiving most violent falls. In
many instances their legs are broken, and on Blackfriars-bridge,
Holborn-hill, and indeed on every descent, it is most painful to
witness the exerticas required from them to keep their fret.
In general the horses fall f om the old custom of bearing them
up too tight being still continued. If the bearing rein was
loose, or entirely dispensed with, not half the number of acci-
dents would occur.
Mr. Sullivan, Deputy- Secretary at 'War, and
Miss Sullivan, gave their first ball and supper, in Grosvenor-
street. The ball-room, and the two saloons on the drawing-
room floor, were brilliantly illuminated ; the dancing corn-
menced at eleven and closed at four. Present, the r.arls and
Countesses of Brecknock and Powis, Dowager Countess Cow-
per and Lady Fanny Cowper, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn,
Lady Braybroke and the Hon. Misses Neville, and Lord Bor-
ingdon.

LEWES ELECTION.--EXTRACT OF A LET-
TER.—General Trevor has gallantly thrown himself inte the
breach to rescue the town from the disgrace, if possible, of
being represented by a Tory in the place of our late excellent
Member, Sir Charles Blunt. The Tories aro exerting them-
selves with the zeal and enthusiasm of bigots. Many of the
electors will be obliged to give their voice in favour of the Tory
candidate, when their heart. is with the old veteran ; but they
well know that ruin to their families would be the result of
following the dictates of their own conscience. They 100 k,
upon their wives and children and sigh, and know that all
which persecution can do will be done to injure then!•
There are many of the Tories who are amiable men in pri-
vate life, but they are unfortunately so blinded by bigotry
that they, cannot perceive that they are always acting in the
very spirit of the bitterest Roman Catholic persecution in the
worst persecuting ages. No reasoning can impress upon them
that to force the consciences of men is to act contrary to the
liberty of the Gospel, the true spirit of Christianity, and against
God himself. I have pointed out to some electors the misfoi-
tunes that have fallen upon some who acted contrary to their
consciences, and that others who have partially suffered by their
conscientious votes still hold up their heads and do well. This
has had its effect upon a few. Shelley had associated with the
bats and had partaken of their blindness, but he has shaken the
film from his eyes, and he is now nobly exerting himself in tilt
cause of freedom of conscience and good government.—Brighton
herald!.

The words " quite safe" arc used in different
senses. There is quite safe to win, and quite safe to lose. The
Brighton Gazette says Lewes is quite safe—to be lost?
