THE SUN, LONDON

France and England with the SULTAN, and of Austria
on the other hand with the AUTOCRAT. Looking,

reward of their previous labours. It was indeed
at gala day on the Great Southern and Western
Railway. Ilis Excellency the Lora-Lieutenant, who
iad long evinced the deepest interest in the welfare
Ind prosperity of the concern, accompanied by a
numerous party of noblemen and gentlemen, wit-
nessed the opening of the extension from Mallow,
and the completion of the line of railway co►rmunica-
don from Dublin to Cork. Sir Jour MAcNEIL, with

therefore, to the possibility of an outbreak being the
sudden result of the emergency arising out of ABDUL
MESCNID'S refusal of extradition, we find Grea'
Britain anything rather than adequately represented
in the Mediterranean by that force which has giver
her her immense maritime supremacy. So inadequate
indeed is her position in this regard, that France
which is certainly a military rather than a maritime
power, retains within the same sea a squadron
exactly double the amount of the squadron
possessed there by England. This too, be it
remembered, on the morrow of a Revolution
which is declared by its opponents to have diminished
the energies and deteriorated the vigour of la grande
nation ! The inference, we opine, is sufficiently mani-
fest ; and one we trust which will be taken into
consideration by the Government as a counterpoise
to the importunity of the wrong-headed members of
an excellent association, the association of Financial
Reformers, anxious to reduce as much as possible
the sum (a sum at present we grant so extravagantly
lavish) of the public expenditure. May the immi-
nence of the existing crisis open the eyes of those
men to the preposterous folly of their demands—
showing them that their duty as Financial Reformers
should be directed almost exclusively to the re- arrange-
ment of the system of currency, and to the purga
Lion of the abominable civil list ; but teaching them
at the same time that to cripple the army, and more
especially the navy of the country, is to crop the
hair from the head of the political SAMPSON. Of one
thing at any rate we are profoundly convinced,
namely, that the people of England will not permit
this treacherous clipping by any Demagogic Dimmers
It cannot be forgotten how energetically the late
Secretary of the Admiralty laboured to controvert the
sophistical arguments advanced by the gentlemen
solicitous to aid in a vast naval reduction. Most
solicitous are we that the present Lord High Corn-
missioner of the lonian Islands will not himself lose
a recollection of his previous efforts ; but that in his
new capacity, and particularly bearing in mind his
own pressing anxieties in regard to Cephalonia, he
may be induced to enforce those efforts by a proper
representation to the authorities at home in reference
to the position of our navy in the Mediterranean. As
to the nature of the probable recommendations of
Sir STRATFORD CANNING we can labour under no
uncertainty whatever. Sir ROBERT GARDINER we
are satisfied would, as Governor of Gibraltar, corro-
borate the accuracy of the policy suggested by the
Ambassador at Constantinople ; and his Excellency
Mr. MORE O'FERRALL would be anything rather
than disinclined to give the advice the authority of his
coincidence, accompanied by the cordial agreement of
his Excellency Mr. Wan, the Ambassador at the
Court of Greece. How far such recommendations
would be agreeable to Sir WILLIAM PARKER, the
Commander in-Chief of the British squadron in the
Mediterranean, we may conjecture from the known
character of that gallant and distinguished officer,
ever solicitous as he is to witness the advancement of
the naval glory and greatness of England. The
matter is deserving of the earnest consideration of
these officials and of the Government, even supposing
that events should prove that there exists no ne-
cessity for the presence of a British fleet in the Dar-
danelles.

pardonable pride, exhibited the apparently insur-
mountable obstacles which he had overcome, and

iwelt with friendly z2al upon the invaluable assist-
ance he had received from the indefatigable
WILLIAM DARGAN. The train was moved

backward and forward over the place where
the entire road had been swallowed up,

and where no foundation could be laid, until what
might be termed a larch-wood raft was launched
into the quagmire, on which the road was sustained.
Lie train also stopped to inspect various colossal via-
ducts, more particularly that at Monard, consisting of
seven arches, ninety feet high and forty-five feet
span, the arching of which was not commenced until
the 30th of August, and which was fully completed on
the 30th of September. In the evening a magnificent
entertainment was given at the Imperial Hotel, Cork,
at which, his Excellency (for the first time) most
worthily exercised the privilege of conferring the
honour of knighthood on the excellent Chairman of
the Great Southern and Western Railway Company.
In returning thanks for the enthu3iatic manner
in which his health had been received, in con-

nexion with what has, unfortunately, been so long com-
paratively unknown, "Prosperity to Ireland," Lord
CLARENDON happily seized on the allusion made by
the Chairman to the assistance which bad been ren•

dered by Government to this great national under
taking. He expressed it as his belief that but for the
loan which had been advanced by the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government, they would not hays
reached Cork by railway at this time. But let us ask
if " the prudent foresight" of the Minister in con-
senting to give a sum of money in this instance is
deserving of such high commendation ? If that fore-
sight, " which determined to provide a ready market
for the farmer," has been in the present case exer-
cised with so beneficial a tendency, opening a ready
market to the agricultural interest, "connecting
Limerick, Cork, and Dublin together," on what
paltry grounds of false economy—most paltry,
ill judged, and indefensible, considering the avowed
importance and vast advantages resulting from the
establishment of those great channels of communica-
tion—has the Government refused its aid to the Wa-
terford and Limerick line ? "It was to this," conti-
nued his Excellency, " they should look in the severe
competition they (the farmers) had at present to
undergo, and it was with a view to this that his
Noble Friend had given their railway the money."
Is, then, the condition of the agriculturists in East
Munster so pre-eminently flourishing ? At e the farmers
of that district so far more advantageously circum-
stanced than their favoured brethren, thus cheered
and sympathised with by the Viceroy, that the
teeming riches of the golden valley of the Suir,
and the first rate capabilities and conveni-
ences of the splendid port of Waterford,
are to be contemptuously passed over as un-
worthy of any measure of the fostering bounty ?
More than once within this year we have adverted
to the singular advantages which would ensue from
the completion of the railway from Limerick to
Waterford ; and once again we implore those chiefly
interested therein to put their shoulders to the wheel-
Is there no public spirit existing among the citizens
cf Waterford and Clonmel to urge the directors to
some exertion, or to have the affairs of the company
conducted by competent and active hands ? Lord
GLENGALL, we feel assured, is as eager and willing
as man can be to promote this desirable object; but
it is morally impossible for his unsupported efforts
to be crowned with success. The active exertions of
those whose local interests are at stake must be
brought into the field, otherwise the continuance of
the deplorable supineness hitherto evinced will ensure
a great public detriment, and prove a source of deep
and lasting regret to themselves.

A free communication and ready access from
place to place is justly regarded as one of the pri-
mary means of improvement in any country. If
these be wanting—if there be an absence of the ordi-

nary facilities of transit, the district, however
favoured in :other respects, must still remain in a
state of wild and primitive simplicity. Civilization
cannot progress where there is but little or no in-
tercourse. There may be a sufficiency of the neces-
saries, but there can be none of the elegancies or
luxuries of life. Each person will be restricted to the
produce of his immediate vicinity, for the expense
and;difficulty of conveying his crops to market will
act as a practical prohibition to any interchange of
commodities, and he cannot barter or exchange with
his neighbour because they will have a superfluity of
the very same articles which he himself could most
easily dispense with, and the same description of goods
will also be in request. Good roads, cheap and expe..
ditious modes of intercommunication, are therefore
properly looked upon as the great, indeed, the indis-
pensable sources of national amelioration.
While these great truths have been
fully recognised in this country, while the
most gigantic works have been .undertaken
and rapidly carried into execution on this side of St.
George's Channel, but little has been accomplished in
the sister kingdom. Although the area and popula-
tion of Ireland respectively exceed one-half of the
area and population of Great Britain, her railway
mileage scarcely amounts to one-fiftieth part of that
in actual operation in England and Scotland. It is
true that the Legislative sanction had been obtained,

several years since, for the formation of many ra
ways in that country to the extent of 1,6171 miles, bu
unfortunately but little more was done than procuring
the preliminary Acts. Three only—the Dublin
and Kingstown, the Dublin and Drogheda, and the
Ulster Railway, 77i miles in all, had been completed ;
and though some few of the others were slowly pro-
gressing, not a single sod had been turned, or a por-
tion of the work commenced in the great majority of
instances. The financial difficulties which the nation
had encountered during the disastrous period that
intervened between the applications to Parliament and
the present time, prevented the directors from obtain-
ing the necessary funds, and it became too painfully
apparent that private enterprise was quite inadequate
to supply the wants of the Irish community with re-
spect to railways.
One project, and one only, has been steadily carried
forward in a manner which reflects the highest credit
on the directors, through whose indefatigable exertions
it has been complete] within a time, and in a manner,
that would merit the greatest praise even in this more
favoured country. The Great Southern and S\Testern
of Ireland—the trunk line par excellence of the sister
kingdom—presented engineering difficulties of no
ordinary magnitude. The extension from Mallow
to Cork particularly required the utmost inge-
nuity to surmount the numerous impediments
that opposed further progress. " The cuttings"
were of the most formidable character, of immense
depth, and through the hardest and most imprac-
ticable material. Indurated sandstone, had to be pene-
trated to a depth of no less than sixty feet for consi-
derable distances ; and this task, severe and arduous
as it was undoubtedly, was trivial in comparison to
the gigantic embankments and enormous viaducts
which the nature of the county rendered essential.
The master mind that planned, and the zealous
and unflinching contractor that carried the
works into execution, were not to be deterred by
common obstacles. Sir Joins MACNEILL more
than sustained the high reputation he had previously
acquired, while WILLIAM DAuGAN proved how
deeply mistaken are those who underrate the capa-
bilities of Irish industry. " A monument more
durable than brass" has been erected which will
redound to the honour and fame of all concerned in
the magnificent undertaking. Neither were the
directors cr shareholders wanting
.on their part; the
most judicious arrangements were made to prevent
any loss of time or delay in the execution of the
works. " The sinews of war," without which the most
auspicious project must prove a total failure, were
provided, notwithstanding the railway panic, and the
high rate of interest for money which prevented
even the best circumstanced companies from obtaining
leans on anything like reasonable terms. It is true
that national aid was afforded to this eminently
National undertaking; a considerable advance was
made from the public Exchequer at a moment of
extreme embarrassment. No risk was, however,
incurred of any loss to the Government; ample
security was given for the repayment of prin-
cipal and -interest ; the concern was per-
fectly solvent,—all that was required was that
the wild
panic and
mind
allowed
dismaythat had taken possession
of the public should bbe assuaged,totheshareholders and tle et
breathing time should be
to recover from the losses they had sustained in
common with all their countrymen. The
h e Govern-
ment overn
ment advance provided for both objects—the
neces-
sary encouragement, the needful respite were
thereby supplied, and the auspicious result has
exhibited in the strongest light the national advan-
tages attainable by a judicious exercise of the powers
entrusted to the hands of the Government.

The weapon chosen by the c-embatents was the
sword. The parties having been placed on the ground
attacked each other with extraordinary fury. After
some time they became completay exhausted end

a long contest, during which neither was wounded,
the seconds disarmed them, when they shook hands.
M. BAUME, a representative of the people, and M.
BUYIGNIER, a barrister, acted es seconds to M.
THOURET ; and M. WALLois, a half-pay lieutenant,
and M. DUFAUR' a landed proprietor, performed the
same duty for Lieutenant PETIT. The lieutenant
challenged the barrister in consequence of the latter
having told him during the state trials at Versailles
that he was unworthy to wear the French uniform.
The High Court resumed its proceedings on Mon-
day morning. The evidence of M. ERNEST GREGOIRE,
a physician, excited much interest. The counsel for
the defence and some of the prisoners endeavoured, in
order to neutralise his evidence, to show that M.
GREGOIRE was a police agent. The Court adjourned
at half-past five o'clock.

regiment named CLAUDI has teen condemned to a
year's imprisonment by one of the Freileb courts-
martial for attacking a French oldier. He had been
previously condemned to death by another court for a
similar crime, but the sentence had been quashed

proof of the strict impartiality of the French military

The Ministerial crisis still continues at Turin.
In Naples the terror was every day increasing in
consequence of the violence of the Government.
Every day fresh arrests were taking place, and no
one telt safe. The Government papers were fined
I with abuse of England and diatribes against Lord
PALMERSTON for his dispatch on the affairs of Sicily.
The KING and Royal Family had left Naples, and
taken up their residence at the Palace of Caserta.

Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived.
It is said that to avoid all occasion of raising a

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A conference of Ministers took place at Schon-
brunn on the 18th, relative to the demand made on
Turkey for the extradition of the Hungarian re-
fugees. The British Ambassador attended the con-
ference.
The chiefs of Servia have presented the following
to the EMPEROR, as expressing the wishes of the
nation :
_ _ _

" That the Servian Waiwodie be declared a st Ite of
the Crown ; that the Emperor shall assume the title of
Grand Waiwode ; and that the limits of the Waiwodie
be settled according to the former privileges and the re-
solutions of the nation of the Ist and 3d May, 1848.
This last point is explained in the following terms :
The territories indicated are the seat of the establish-
ment of the Servians, which they occupied after having
wrested Hungary from the 'finks. The Servia Waiwode
claims these territories according to historical moan-
meats and iwprescriptible rights. If it is withed that the
Servian nation should have any Importance these terri-
tories must he conceded to it."
It was rumoured in Prague that General ScuLicK,
who arrived there on Oct. 16, would be appointed
Civil and Military Governor of Hungary.
Accounts from Semlin of the 11th state that General
HOUSLAB arrived there on the 11th, and immediately
set of for Widdin. It is asserted that he is gone to
Turkey peremptorily to demand the delivery of the
Magyar chiefs. Other accounts state that he was the
bearer of an amnesty.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Stoats Anzieger of the 21st announces
the nomination of General Von PEUCKER to the
post of military governor of Westphalia and the
Rhenish provinces.
On the 20th, the First Chamber disposed of the
whole Bth chapter of the constitution "of the finances,"
by adopting articles 98 to 103, whereby, as will be
seen from the text of the first of these articles, the
principle of annually submitting the budgets to the
investigation and assent of the Chambers is recog-
nised, as it should be, tempered, however, by a
clause which declares the votes and credits of the
previous to be voted for the current year, should
circumstances prevent the fixation of the budget
within the prescribed period. The latter clause was
only carried by a majority of three, there being 70
ayes and 67 noes. This article runs thus
All the receipts and expenditures of the State must
be determined each year by anticipation, and entered in
the budget. The latter must be annually determined by
a law. All extraordinary disbursements require the
subsequent assent of the Chambers. In case the defii.i-
tive settlement of the budget for the ensuing financial
period (year) should be delayed beyond its commence-
ment, the budget last voted shall remain in force—not
exceeding twelve months." This and the sister articles
having been the principal obstacle to progression in the
work of revision, involving as they do most indisputably
a vital constitutional question, it is to be hoped the
Chamber will now be enabled to advance more rapidly
with the forty-five of fifty articles which remain to
be voted.
In the Second Chamber the debate on the Industry
Regulation Bill was revived at Art. 24. The whole ofj
the remaining clauses, in all seventy-seven, were then
agreed to without discussion, and the House adjourned its
definitive vote until Monday next."

It is with great satisfaction we note a further im-
provement in the market for Railway Shares. The cur-
rent report this morning is that the weekly return of
the North-Western line will exhibit a decided improve-
ment in the traffic, and that other of the companies
will also show better when the next accounts
are made up. This is not improbable, looking
at the fine weather ; but besides traffic, which
is of course the grand element of success, a
change in the direction of many of the railways is
urgently desired in order to revise the whole system of
management, and give confidence. Unless this takes
place, as far as we can ascertain the prevalent feeling,
a Government auditor, under certain restrictions,
will become a mere favourite idea; because, as the
