TUE St Y N,

seems to be disappearing, it becomes a question of
peculiar interest to consider the most rational
as well as the most economical means of
turning the resources of that country to our advan-
tage. Above all, the nefarious achievements of such
men as DOONGUR SINGH must be prevented, other-
wise the impunity with which he gallopped away
with the Government treasure of 27,000 rupees at
Nusseerabad may encourage him to attempt the pe-
riodical seizure of our local revenues. That those
revenues must accumulate and multiply with an ordi•
nary amount of prudence and precaution is certain
from the signs of their advancement, even under the
present arrangement. The statistics furnished
in the Indian newspapers of the increase that
has taken place both in the exports and
imports of Sinde since its first occupation, show the
advisability of some more sagacious course being
adopted by the Anglo-Indian Government whereby
the policy of Sir CHARLES NAPIER may be carried
into operation and the original intention of his Ex-
cellency be fully realised. The clouds are clearing away
from the horizon of Sinde, and time will shortly
testify that Sir CHARLES NAPIER has not merely
added a brilliant chapter to our military records, but
that he has opened a new and extraordinary channel
for our commercial enterprise, besides affording a
wider sphere for the dissemination of the advantages
of civilisation, and of the infinite blessings of Chris-
tianity.

It is gratifying to notice the progress and favour-
able prospects of well-selected railway lines in Ire-
land, from which the shareholders may fairly hope
for a handsome and remunerating dividend on the
amount of capital invested, and which will accelerate
the social and commercial intercourse not only in the
different parts of that country, but also with Eug•
land, will provide the farmer with a ready market
for his produce, and thus tend to improvements in
agricultural science and a better cultivation of the
soil—results that have ever followed the increased
traffic and facilities afforded by railway accommoda-

tion, and will, in every respect, further the develop
ment of the industrial resources of the nation. How.

ever desirable the construction of railways in that
- - -

country may be, great mischief would be
occasioned by the indiscriminate support of
every description of projects, of those which might
be brought forward, not on account of the existing
wants of the people, or for the purpose of permanent
investment of capital, but in order that the shares
might be sold at a premium on the Stock Exchange,
and their promoters enabled to realise large profits
without waiting for the legitimate returns of trek.
Ireland is as yet comparatively neglected as to rail-

people to demand a change of Ministry, and the en-
rolment of a corps of volunteers to march to the relief

of Ferrara.

A review of the 4th battalion of the National
Guard of Rome took place on the l6th of
August at the Villa Borghese ; cries of " Long live
Pius 1X.," " Long live Prince BORGHESE," were
raised by the troops. The highest of the Roman
nobility were present on the occasion, and fraternised
with the citizens.

Letters from Bologna of the 21st say :—" The
Papal Government is resolved to resist the Austrian
invasion, and to oppo=e force by force. The troops
are concentrating, and some are already in march for
the frontier. Two companies of Swiss and artillery
have already left this for Ferrara. They were loudly
cheered by the people as they left, and saluted with
cries of " Live Pius IX." A corps of Swiss is also
marching from Romagna for Ferrara. The aversion of
the people to the Swiss troops has greatly diminished
sis-.ce these soldiers sent an address to the authorities
offering to march against the Austrians. The number
of Austrian troops in Ferrara has diminished, the
greater portion of them having retired into the citadel.
Nevertheless, reinforcements of the Imperial troops
are constantly arriving in "'adult and the other cities
on the left bank of the Po. The greatest enthusiasm
prevails throughout the country—the peasants are
coming forward to be inscribed in the civic guards,
and ask to be led against the Austrians. The retro-
grade party, whose stronghold is at Modena, are at
their wits ends. They are endeavouring to organize a
system of brigandage, and dispatch their emissaries with
arms and ammunition to commit crimes throughout
the country. The brigands have set fire to five
farms of the Marquis of COSTABILL a nobleman who
is noted for his attachment to Pius IX., and to the
cause of progress, and on whose property is estab-
lished the head-quarters of the National Guard of
Ferrara.

ways, and great trunk lines remain to be constructed
which must yield a handsome profit to the proprietors.
It is morally certain that such lints will be formed in
due time, and that we shall eventually see the sister
kingdom covered with an iron network spreading
through every part of the land, and proportioned to
the increase of prosperity and civilization, which we
doubt not a few years will bring forth.
It will be in the recollection of our readers, that
Government during the past session, while they
wisely refused their sanction to the wild scheme of
(he Protectionist leader, by which 16,000,0001. ster-
ling was to be advanced to Irish railways, in the pro-
portion of two pounds fur every one provided by the
shareholders, yet decided on placing an additional
sum at the disposal of the Exchequer Bill Loan
Commissioners for the purpose of being advanced to
three companies, who had afforded evidence of the
soundness of their undertakings, of the sufficiency of

the security they were enabled to offer for the re-
payment of the several loans, and of the national
benefits that would accrue from the speedy comple-
tion thereof. Such fostering aid had the moat fa-
vourable effect ; the greatest activity was displayed
by the directors and managers to show themselves
worthy of the favours thus accorded, and the works
have been proceeded with steadily and efficiently.
The Great Southern and Western Railway of Ire-
land received, or are to receive, by far the greater
portion of that advance. It would be difficult to
enumerate the many advantages of this magnificent
project. When perfected, it will be par excellence
the great trunk line of Ireland, connecting the two
chief cities—Dublin and Cork; it will form the chief
channel of communication between the capital and

the southern provinces. The rich and abundant pro-
ducts of the several counties can, by its means, be
readily conveyed to the metropolis, and they may in
return receive the various articles of merchandise im-
ported from other climes ; in fact, what the London
and North-Western Railway is in this country the
Great Southern and Western will be in Ireland.
The Irish Government have duly appreciated its

Madrid journals of the 24th instant have arrived.
The arrival of NARVAEZ is the all-absorbing topic
of comment in all of them. He is looked upon by
the generality of Spaniards as the apostle of treason,
anarchy, and bloodshed. In the meantime the
Carlist movement is daily increasing in strength in
Catalonia, and in Arragon and Saragossa a Carlist
rising is hourly expected.
MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 24.—The Three per Cents.
were dune in Madrid, on the 24th, at 271 for cash, and
the Coupons, at 15; and the Five per Cents. at 17i for
paper; and the Debt without Interest at 511.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The physicians who examined the body of the
Duke of PRASLIN have reported that he died from
poisoning by arsenic, and that as arsenic was found
in the liver, it must have been taken some time befbre
death ; they are of (pinion that there were not two
administrations of poison, and that the apparent con-
valescence of the Duke of PRAsLIN ()It the Saturday
and Sunday was " nothing but an aggravation of the
phenomena of reaction of which the apparition may
have simulated a favourable crisis" (dont l'apparition
acait pu sirnuler une crise favorable). The report
seems drawn up altogether in accordance with the
Talleyrand theory of language, which lays it down
as an axiom that words were given to man to enable
him to disguise his thoughts.
The Itfoniteur Parisien states officially that the
Attorney-General has received from M. WARNERRY
certain charges of corruption against officers con-
nected with the administration of affairs in Algeria,
and had ordered a judicial investigation into the
truth of those charges to be commenced.
The trial of Messrs. GOBELEY and BEERIER the
younger, charged with having embezzled large quan-
tities of corn from the Government stores, took place
on Saturday, and terminated in the acquittal of the
accused.

The price of flour in the Paris market continues to

Count ANATOLE DB MONTESQUIEU, a chevalier

at Paris on Sunday. No reasons are give❑ for this
rash act.

importance and the excellence of its management,
and in addition to the valuable assistance rendered by
the advance of half a million sterling, his Excel-
lency the Lord-Lieutenant paid its directors the high
compliment of inspecting the progress of the works,
and accepting their hospitality. On Friday the Earl
of CLARENDON, accompanied by the Chief Secretary
for Ireland and a distinguished party, went over the
portion of the line now opened to the public, the
traffic on which is already very considerable, affording
an ample security Tor the Government loan. The
impressions created by that journey may be . con-
ceived from what subsequently fell from that en-
lightened nobleman, when expressing his delight at
" bving passed through a beautiful country, teem-
ing with the products of the earth, and upon a line of
railway that reflected credit on the energy and en-
terprise of the company." He stated "that at home
or abroad he had never seen so beautiful a line of
railway—one which exhibited in its construction so
rare a combination of science and art." This feeling
was participated in by all, and the Chief Secretary added
that he only expressed the opinions of every gentle-
man who had accompanied his Excellency, in saying
that the Great Southern and Western Railway, fur
safety and good management, was not surpassed by
any other line in existence. Compliments such as
these, proceeding from such influential sources, must.
iudeed be satisfactory not only to the directors, but
to every person in any degree interested in the
undertaking. They also prove how judiciously
the Ministry acted in rendering such effectual as-
sistance--assistance which must materially hasten
the period when the public will reap all the benefits
of the gigantic undertaking, and that without a
particle of loss or risk to the Exchequer, the rate of per
tentage secured by the company, five per cent. per i
annum, being nearly one-third more than the actual
interest payable on that sum by the nation.
The progress of the other lines assisted
by the Government are equally satisfactory.
The Waterford and Limerick Railway, which
communicates between two of the principal ports
on the east and west of the island, has afforded
a considerable quantity of employment to the la-
bourers in the several districts traversed by it. In
one locality alone there are 800 men employed—the
labourers, who usually earn Bd. or ICd. a day, receiving
ls. 6d., while masons, stone-cutters, and others are
proportionately paid. There is now 356,600/. ster-
ling paid up, and on the arrears (amounting to less
than 20,0001.) being satisfied, the company will be in
a position to borrow, if necessary or desirable, a
quarter of a million sterling.

The number of failures in Paris during the last
year was 1,139, and the aggregate amount of the
deficit 68,474,803 francs. .Eight of these failures
were to the amount of 40,0001. and upwards. As
compared with the previous year, there is an enor-
mous increase both in toe number and amount of
the faiiures. In the previous year the number of the
failures was 931, and the amount 48,342,529 francs.

A letter from Leghorn, ot the 23d of August, states
that on the 22d an outbreak hail taken pl,ce in that
city in consequence of the occupation of Ferrara by
the Austrians. On that day the inhabitants of Leg.

loudly demanded the formation of a national guard.
The people, after hearing an address from the Go-
vernor, were dispersing quietly when they were
charged by the Carbineers—a conflict ensued, in
which the Carbineers were routed and disarmed.
The excitement in consequence became very great,
and placards were posted on the walls, urging- the

the statements which have been made that M. DE
BEAUVALLON had been ordered for trial before the
Court of Assizes for perjury, and that he had ap-

At twelve o'clock this morning, the jury, according
to appointment made yesterday at the inquest, pro-
ceeded to view the shattered vessel and machinery of
the Cricket steam-boat. The scene presented was of
the most fearful nature, and none but those who had
before witnessed sucha spectacle of ruin could for a mo-
ment have imagined the force and power of that mighty
agent—steam. As to the causes which may have led
to the fatal explosion, we, of course, will not pronounce
an opinion. Competent persons will be appointed by
the authorities, who will, as their duty to the public,
to the company, and to Mr. Joyce, the builder and
patentee of the engines, require, carefully examine,
and investigate inost fully, all the circumstances con-
nected with this most disastrous affair. The first
sight which presents itself to the spectator is that of
a fearful rent in the vessel from the engine-room to
the stern. The whole of the flooring of the deck has
been blown up, and the lining of the right side of the
after cabin completely removed, leaving exposed the
bare iron shell of the vessel. On the left side of the
same cabin some portion of the lining yet remains ;
but in the bilge of the vessel, and near to the paddles,
the whole of the lining is gone, and the shell of the
vessel broken and torn in almost every direction.
The flooring of the cabin is also swept clean.ont,
while an immense opening in the stern shows the spot
through which the boiler itself was blown, the
boiler in its progress appearing to have swept the
floors, the lining, rudder, and everything before it.
the whole of the case of the boiler is blown off, leav-
ing all the tubes exposed to sight ; but there does not
appear to be any fracture in any of them, so far at
least as we were able to see. The funnel, the smok e-
box, and the case of the boiler, lie beside the wreck
of the ill-fated vessel. The safety-valve and the
steam-gauges seem to have been entirely blown away.
Neither of the paddle-wheels seem to have sustained
any injury : the outer side of the left paddle-box
seems to have sustained a somewhat severe shock. A
portion of the massive iron frame work to which the
engine is attached is twisted in a most extraordinary
manner. The thickness of the metal in that part
cannot be less than four inches; but it appears to
have been capable of affording no more resistance to
the terrific power than did some of the common deal
timbers with which it was surrounded. The massive
cranks, with the pistons and cylinders, seem to bet he
only portions of the machinery which were suiE -
ciently strong to endure the shock, but the Vet
crank is slightly bent. There is no doubt
that this more solid part of the machine ry
tended, in some degree, to ensure the fore part of t be
vessel from that total destruction which has befall en
the remaining portions. The boiler which explod ed
was the left boiler ai the vessel now lies, but ti
course it appeared to have taken was an oblique on e,
as the right si,le of the cabin, through which it passe (11

Hour of the engine• room is literally covered with
fragments of the broken parts and the smaller audi
more delicate parts of the machinery. The jury re-
mained
on the spot for about half an hour, during
hich time every facility was afforded by the servants
if.f the company to enable them to view the various
patine of the wreck.

ILMNDON, EVENIN G, AUGUST 31, 1847.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. /
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
4,000 bales, but entirely for the wants of consumption.
Prices were without alteration, although the accounts
from Mancheste r were considered to be more favourable
Shares improved again, and there appeared to be a gra-
dual restoration of confidence.
There are ship arrivals to-day from several parts, but
no news of general interest appears to be contained in
the aclvices brought to hand.
The election far Governor of the Bank of England, in
the place of W. IL Robinson, Esq., disqualified, is now
proceeding, and to doubt James Morris, Esq., of the
rich firm of Morris, Prevo, and Co., will be placed in
this hcnourable post.
We cannot lean, that, up to the hour of our writing,
any decision has been come to by Messrs. Overend,
Gurney, and Co., upon the important subject of the ac-
ceptance of Messrs. Prime Ward and Co.'s bills, but it
is expected that it will be settled yea or nay some time
this afternoon. Probably, as the matter is of some in-
terest, we may be enabled to give the result for our
country edition.
The accounts received to-day from the East Indies do
not notice so much activity as usual at this season of the
year in British textile fabrics, but money was rather
more easy, and the accounts from Europe bad chiefly
operated in producing dulness rather than convulsion
or excitement.
The English Funds have been high again this morning,
Consols having touched 874 4 for present transfer,
and 884 4 for account. At the present time the rates
are scarcely so good. The New Three. and-a Quarter
per Cents. have been 89/ to 4. Bank Stock is worth
195 to 197. Exchequer-bills have been 2s. to 6s. prem.
The Foreign Securities have been steady generally.
Spanish Bonds are rather better. The Five per Cents.
have realised 191 to 201, and the Three per Cents.
30 to 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted
25. Mexican Stock is worth 181 to 194. Grenada
Bonds have been at 19. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are at SG.
There is not much doing in railway shares, but the
market looks firm upon the settlement in progress.
This is account-day also in the Foreign Stock Market,
where, however, the speculation recently entered into
has been very limited.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE PRICE.
This was a meeting for the last examination of this
bankrupt, described as of the Belle Sauvage, Ludgate-
hill, hotel• keeper.
An application was made for an adjournment, as no
balance-sheet had been filed, and it was avowed that the
object of the adjournment was to obtain a supersedeas, if
the creditors would consent. A composition had been
offered, and it was said that most of the creditors had
signed the consent.
His HONOUR said that all the creditors might not
agree, and no bankrupt had a right to suspend making
out a balance sheet in order to supersede the fiat, or to
force an adjournment.
An adjournment was granted for three weeks, on the
understanding that if the balance-sheet was not then
filed the examination would be adjourned sine die, so
that the bankrupt should come up at his own expense.

BANK OFENGLAND.-(THIS DAY.)

ELECTION OF GOVERNOR.

A general court of the proprietors of the Bank of
England was this day held in the board room, for the
purpose of proceeding to the election of a Governor
of the Bank, in the room of Mr. Robinson, who was
disqualified from continuing in office under the regu-
lations which govern that coroporation.
Precisely at eleven o'clock the doors of the board-
room were opened, and the secretary proceeded, with
the usual forms on such occasions, to read the adver-
tisement for calling together the court. The " glasses"
were then ordered to be uncovered for the purpose of
proceeding to the ballot, which will continue open till
four o'clock this afternoon, when the result will be

known.
We shall give the result of the election in our Third
Edition.

WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK
LOW, AND DLBLIN RAILWAY.-CrHIS DAY.

The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the proprie-
tors of this company was held to-day, at their office.,
449, West Strand ; Si,• Thomas Esmonde, Bart., in
the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that
the directors had pursued that course with respect to
the construction of the line which they proposed at
the last half•yearly ordinary meeting, namely, the
extension of the line to Wicklow from the junction
with the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, as well as
from the junction with the Irish South-Eastern
Railway at Scurawalsh•bridge to Wexford-bay, and
to the intermediate space thence to Wicklow, which
would complete the direct communication between
Dublin and Wexford and between Dublin and
London, via the South %Vales and Great Western
Railways. Under the powers conferred upon
the company last session, the directors com-
menced the undertaking between Kingston and
Wicklow, and about a mile of land had been pre-
sented to the company by the Earl of Meath. From
the financial statement it appeared that the receipts
up to the 30th of June last ware 122,5431. 65., while
the expenditure up to the same period amounted to
48,6711. Is. 3d., leaving a balance in hand of
73,8721. 4s. 9d. _ _ _ _ .

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
and assured the meeting that the directors had been
actuated by a desire to conform to the circumstances
of the country through which theix railway was to
pass.
After some discussion the resolution was carried
unanimously.
Thanks were then voted to the directors, after
which the meeting separated.

JENNY LIND AND THE BOSJESMANS.—These sin-
gular specimens of the decreasing race of Pigmies of
South Africa are on the eve of departure to their wild
and remote desert, previous, however, to which it is in-
tended they shall pay Liverpool a visit. Last week,
amongst the distinguished persons who left their auto-
graphs at the Hall, were Jenny Lind and Madame Grisi,
both of whom were, by a singular coincidence, at the
same time listening to the unmusical yet good-humoured
voices of these " children of the desert." " The force
of contrast could no farther go." These interesting
savages are still at the Egyptian Hall in the day, and at
the Strand Theatre in the evening.
THE LATE VIOLENT ATTACK BY A LUNATIC.—
We are glad to learn that the two aged paupers, Samuel
Gibson and Thomas Cooper, who were last week so
severely injured by the attack of Robinson, the lunatic,
in Holbeck Workhouse, are going on very favourably,
and their recovery may be expected in a short time.—

Leeds Mercury.
Sir John and Lady Strachan arrived at Blackwall
on Saturday afternoon, by the General Steam Naviga
tion Company's steam-ship Sir Edward Banks, from
o,tend.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE BLUE DAHLIA SEEKERS
—A singular phenomenon, says a French paper, has
snown iteelt in a greenhouse at Lyons. At the time
when all the growers et camellias, roses, dahlias, &c.,
are puzzling themselves to get the blue colour, the ouly
shade which nature has retueed to these kinds of plants,
chance has thrown a shade azure blue upon the petals
of flowers proluecd by one single branch of a camellia
root of the species imbricala rubra. This plant belongs
to \l. Dagene. The interior petals of the flowers are of
a delicate red, the superior are while, and both are
united with blue. The flower thus unites three addi-
tional colours —Mechanics' Magazine.
AN Ica MOUNTAIN.—De timet, an English mis•
sionary, in writing to the Freeman's Journal from
Oregon, says:—" Not far from the place of our encamp-
ment we found a new object of surprise and admiration.
An immense mountain of pure ice, 1,500 feet high, in
closed between two enormous rocks. So great is the
transparency of this beautiful ice, that we can easily dis-
tinguteh objects in it to the depth of more than six feet.
One would say by its appearance, that in some sudden
end extraordinary swell of the river, immense icebergs
had been forced between these rocks, and had piled
themselves on one another, so as to form this magnifi-
cent glacier. From the base of this gigantic iceberg the
river Trou takes its rise."—Mechanics Magazine.
How TO FILL BOXES AND PIT. Wemyss, A
famous theatrical manager in Philadelphia, has quitted
the business, and opened in stead a large store for the
sale of patent medicines. A friend drily remarked that
he would no doubt be successful in filling both boxes
and pit.—New York Sun.
MARRIAGE NOTICES. A western (American)
paper gives the following notice :—All notices of mar-
riages, where no bride-cake is sent, will be set up in
small type and poked into some outlandish corner of the
paper. Where a handsome piece of cake is sent, it will
be put conspicuously in large letters ; when gloves or
other bride favours are added, a piece of illustrative
poetry will be given in addition. When, however, the
editor attends the ceremony in propria persona' and
kisses the bride, it will have special notice—very large
type and the most appropriate poetry that can be begged,
borrowed, stolen, or coined from the brain editorial.
JENNY LlND.—This pre-eminent vocalist is an-
nounced to sing for one night, viz., on the 14th Septem-
ber, in the City Hall of Perth. The hall is said to be
capable of containing an audience of two thousand.—
Edinburgh Witness.
DRAMATIC Rumouns.—Among other dramatic ru-
mours current in our own metropolis, we hear of a tra-
gedy by Mr. Marston, of which report speaks in the
highest terms ; and a'five-act play by Mr. White, the
author of The King of the Commons, about to be produced
at Sadler's Wells.—Atheneum.
On dit, that the charming actress, Mrs. Nisbett,
will be led for the third time to the hymeneal altar by a
young Scotch Baronet.
The weather has been " all hot" in America. The
Albany Knickerbocker says, "We saw a woman
vdhohere

to get her tea ready."
ACCIDENT TO LORD IVORY.--AS Lord Ivory and a
party of friends were returning on Saturday lust in a
car from shooting on the moor of Fasnacloich, at the
head of Loch Crevan, the vehicle struck against a stone
and was upset. All the party were more or less injured,
and his Lordship, we regret to say, had his left arm
broken. Medical assistance was obtained, and his to ()ken
limb having been-set, the Learned Lord is in a fair way
of recovery.— Edinburgh Post.
WIVEMIOE, Ana. 26.—A boat, carved and gilded,

CAVES OF FAILURE IN BUSINESS.—A late writer
en umertaei the following causes of fiiiiuee among
business men.: —l. The leading cause is an ambition to
be rich— by grasping too much it defeats iteelt. 2
Another cause is aversion to tabeur. 3. The third cause
is an impatient desire to enjoy the luxuries of life before
the right to them has been acquired in any way. 4.
Anuther cause arises from the want of some deeper prin-
ciples for distinguiehing b -tween right and wrong, then
a reference to what is established as honourable in the
iiciety iu which one happens to live.
