considering that the superiority of some other and
intermediate
of
e may
yhereafter be proved, and that
the advance and course of experience may
point out a practicable mode of altering an existing
gauge, and of easily effecting a great operation,
which is now generally conceived to be so costly and
difficult as to be impracticable. Lines to the south
of the existing line from London to Bristol, and
short branches of a few miles in length, in im-
mediate connexion with the Great Western
Railway, may still be sanctioned on the broad
gauge, but a special report must be made by the
Committee on the Bill, setting forth the reasons that
have induced them to advise such a gauge.
2ndly. Unless by the consent of the Legislature, it
shall not be permitted to the directors of any com-
pany to alter the gauge of their railway.
The other suggestions are, that any suitable mea-
sures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link
from Gloucester to Bristol, and from Oxford to Basing-
stoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed
Rugby and Oxford line with the South-Western
Railway. The object of this is to complete the
general chain of narrow gauge communication from
the north of England to the southern coasts and to
the port of Bristol.

The South Wales line and its branches, to be
formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by the
Act ; by this means a second continous line of rail-

way to Ireland, a matter of much public importance,
will be secured. It may, possibly, hereafter much
facilitate our intercourse with America. Lastly
the Rugby and Oxford lines, and Oxford and
Wolverhampton, are to be still on the broad gauge ;
but additional narrow gauge rails are to be forthwith
laid down from Rugby to Oxford, and from Wolver-
hampton to the junction with the Birmingham
and Gloucester line. And, if it should appear
that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on
the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire dis-
ricts to the southern coast, every suitable:
measure shall be promoted by Parliament to foOn
a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. We trust that
this report will be acquiesced in and adopted, and
that thus the battle of the gauges, so fiercely con-
tended, may be brought to a peaceful termination.

On the 3d inst. the Council of Berne adopted the
three first clauses of the new Constitution without
any amendment.

Madrid papers of the 3d inst. have arrived. They
contain no intelligence of importance.
The Three per Cents. sold at 33f for cash, the Five
per Cents. at 20, the Coupons at 191, the shares of
the Bank of San Fernando at 386, and those of Isabel

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. At
six o'clock in the morning of that day the regicide
LxCOMTE was guillotined at the Barrier St. Jacques.
The Chamber of Peers on Monday passed the Wes-
tern Railway Bill and the St. Dizier and Gray Rail-
way Bill without discussion.

In the Chamber of Deputies the discussion on the
budges of Algeria had commenced. The Minister of
War, who pronounced a high eulogium on Marshal
BUG EAUD, was speaking when the post left.
These papers contain some additional particulars
on the subject of the illness and death of the POPE.
" Cardinal de la Tour d'Auvergne received on the 4th of
June, from Rome, the following communication:—
" Eminence Reverendissime,—Aware of the lively interest
your Eminence takes in the valuable health of the Sovereign
Pontiff, I eagerly seize the opportunity of certifying in the
most positive manner, that the slight indisposition, accom-
panied with a little fever, which prevented his Holiness from
being present at the solemn high mass at Chiesa-Verova, for
the fete of Saint Philip Nevi, has produced no ill conse-
quences, and that his Holiness may be considered as entirely
recovered. I receive this information from the Pope's phy-
sician, my particular friend, whose declaration will allay the
anxiety of your Eminence as to the alarming reports circu-
lated on the subject.
" P.S. I am enabled, my Lord, to confirm, at the moment
of closing my letter, the happy news of the restoration to
health of the Sovereign Pontiff. It is quite positive, and I
have it from the Austnan Ambassador himself.
(Signed)
" The Commander CAMILLE LOUIS DE ROSSI,
" French Ambassador.

" Rome, May 28."
The Presse mentions having received a letteffrom
Rome of the 30th ult., stating that " a surgical ope-
ration performed on one of the POPE'S legs produced
a violent inflammation in that limb on the evening of
the 26th; it made such progress during the follow-
ing da3s, that on the 30th the physicians lost all
hopes of saving the august patient. GREGORY XVI.
had long laboured under a chronic affection in the
legs, in consequence of his habit of remaining during
the greatest part of the day, seated at his desk."
"We cannot undertake to-day," says the Univers, " the
history of the long career and the difficult and glorious pon-
tificate of Gregory XVI. The last events which illustrated
it are still present in the memory of Europe and the world.
We find an immense consolation in recollecting the noble
words which Gregory XVI. so courageously addressed some
months ago to the Emperor Nicholas in favour of the perse-
cuted Catholics of his empire. He said, considering his great
age, that the time approached when he should render an ac-
count to God, and it was under the inspiration of his piety as
well as of his heart that he defended, on that solemn occa-
sion, justice and religion oppressed. His soul, full of faith,
was not surprised by death. According to the ordinary rules
the Cardinals are to meet in a conclave ten days after the
death of the Pope, to proceed to elect his successor. The
mass of the Holy Ghost, which precedes the conclave, will
be celebrated accordingly on the 11th inst., in the church of
the Priests of the Mission, on Mount Quirinal."
Cardinal DR LA. TOUR D'AUVRRGNE proceeds imme-
diately to Rome to attend the Sacred College,
which must be immediately assembled to elect
a new Pope. Ile will, on the part of
France, exercise a right which that power
possesses, in common with Austria and Spain, of
annulling the first election, should it prove disagree-
able to them. Spain, it is said, acts in concert with
France on this occasion.

REGINA PATENT PIN.—We are requested by Mr
Kirby, of Newgate-street, whose great improvement in the
manufacture of pins has called forth deserved eulogy, to
state that there exists no other gentleman of the same name
in connexion with such manufacture than himself. His rea-
son for seeking this announcement rather belongs to the
quality of an advertisement than otherwise, but the above
may be a sufficient means of removing any erroneous im-
pression the public may have inadvertently adopted.--Sun-

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, including 500 on speculation. Prices were steady, but
the market was not animated.-Shares were flat again.
The general depression was felt at our sale to-day, and
prices are rather worse. Many of the companies do not dis-
solve so well as was anticipated, and parties will not purchase
in such a state of uncertainty. East Indian, 118.- Surrey

Most of the ship arrivals to-day are with old dates.
It is stated in accounts per West India mail from Belize,
that the season's cutting of wood in Honduras will be short,
owing to the want of labour and capital, and that an ad-
vance of 20 per cent. had occurred there in the price of ma-
hogany.
The balance of trade between England, and America has
been in favour of the former recently, as the following par-
ticulars will show :-
" Quotations for sterling exchange rule much higher now
than at the same date last year, which can be attriouted al-
most entirely to the position of our foreign trade; the tight-
ness in the Money-market, doubtless, has some influence.
" It appears, by the most recent official returns, that up to
the Ist of May, 1846, the importations were larger by several
millions of dollars than they were for the corresponding pe-
riod in 1845; and it also appears, that in the same period,
the exports this year have been more limited than last.
This change in the foreign trade of New York is very good
evidence that it has been the same throughout the country."
The first importation of Pines has excited some interest.
and a numerous party of gentlemen atttended this morning
at Messrs. Keeling and Hunt's, in Monument- yard, for the
purpose of-inspecting the fruit, which was in luxuriant con-
dition, and did credit both to the parties who have grown
them, and the enterprising brokers who have so carefully at-
tended to the landing and conveyance e,f them from South-
ampton to London. The facilities offered by the dock and
railway companies of that port are also of great important/
to the 'fruit trade, and indeed every branch of importation
connected with perishable articles.
The Funds have been very heavy again, and Consols at

THE HAGUE, JUNE 3.—We are this moment informed
that the commercial treaty with Belgium is signed. It
is said that Mr. J. A. Bidder Vander Heim Van
Duivendyke, governor of the province of South
Holland, will be appointed Minister of the Interior
immediately after the close of the Provisional Diet, and
that Mr. J. C. R. Van Hoord Van Burgh will be ap-
pointed governor in his stead.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 7.—We understand that his
Majesty the King will return to the Hague on Saturday
or Sunday next. The Staats Courrant publishes the
resolution of the 26th of May, 1846, containing regula-
tions connected with the law of the 9th of May, 1846,
relative to advantages to be granted to the French
commerce. Private letters from Zealand announce that
the crops in that province have the most favourable ap-
pearances, and that if no untoward circumstances ensue,
both corn and potatoes will be sold at very IoW prices,
ENIDEIOVEN, JUNE s.—We have in this neighbour-
hood the happy prospect of a good harvest this year.
The rye, though it was affected by mildew, has reco-
vered within these few days, and is now finer than
it has been for many years. The linseed turns out well;
the potatoes are very promising, and we do not see any
signs of disease in appearance.
TERSCHEN, MAY 30.—Her majesty the Empress of
Russia arrived here this afternoon, at four o'clock, tra-
velling under the name of Countess Znaninski, accom-
panied by Priucess Olga, and the Crown Prince of Prus-
sia. Count Schueralow, Count Apixin, and Dr. Marans,
physician to the Court, arrived at the same time. Dr.
Mandt, the Emperor's physician, rode before to Micha-
lorice, near Cracow, where the Emperor of Russia expects
to meet the Empress and his daughter. The Empress
will pass the night at Bielitz, so that their Majesties will
probably meet to-morrow.
The accounts from Galicia are tolerably satisfactory.
The corn is all sown, and there is every appearance of a
remarkably fine harvest. The prices of cora have every
where fallen.
VIENNA, JUNE 2.—The Vienna Gazette, of the Ist of
June, anro3nces that " his Majesty the Emperor, by
the advice of Prince Meheinit, has bean pleased to found
an Imperial Academy of Sciences in the city of Vienna."
CRACOW, JUNE 31.—The Empress of Russia drove
yesterday afternoon. at six o'clock, by way of Cracow,
to Michalorice, whence apartments had been prepared
for her Majesty. The Emperor, who visited this city
on Saturday, followed the Empress, accompanied by the
Crown Prince of Wurtemkrg.—Universal Prussian Ga-
zette, June 6.

The Prince Louis Napoleon honoured the Colonel
Marquis and the Marchioness de Bouffct Montauban with his com-
pany at dinner on Saturday last.
Tier Majesty, we understand, has given the suite of
apartments In St. James's Palace, recently vacated by the Mar-
chioness of Westmeath, to the .Marchioness Wellesley, who has taken
Possession of them.
MEANS OF RESUSCITATION AFTER IMIERSION.—At
an inquest held. on Tuc 5 lay before William Carter, Esq., on the body
of a man who died from drowning, several important directions were
mentioned by Mr. Joseph Franklin Rose, surgeon, residing at No.
60, Stamford-street, Blackfriars-read, in reference to the means to
be adopted in certain cases of droivning. lie stated that he had been
appointed surgeon for that district several years by the Royal Hu-
mane Society, which daty he had that day resigned in consequence of
the absurd and improper directions issued by the society. Ile would
mention one rule wherein is stated that on no account whatever is
the body of a person taken out of the water to be placed in an in-
verted position. He assured the Coroner and jury that he was
able to prove that where a person is taken out of the water ap-
parently lifeless, it is absolutely necessary to place the head down-
wards, as the only means cf allowing the water to discharge
itself and ease the inflation of the lungs. Although he had had very
extensive practice in various cases of drowning since he had been in
office, and found the above means prove successful, he was almost
fearful of using certain remedies in consequence of the placards issued
na whom he
by the Royal Humane Society as the friends of Perso-
might be called to see would 'think that he had accelerated their.
death, by adopting such remedies against the society's rules and
directions. He was only anxious that the public should be maade acquainted with his suggestion, as he felt satisfied that much good

HIS HIGHNESS IBRAHIM PACHA.
We understand that his Highness, accompanied by Major
Dickson, and several members of his suite, went out late on
Monday evening for a carriage drive, On leaving Mivart's,
the carriage took, the direction of Regent-street, and went
by Waterloo -place, along 'Whitehall, as far as Westminster
Abbey, and then returned by Regent-street to the Regent's-
park. The Pacha there got out of his carriage and walked
some distance in the enjoyment of a cigar. His Highness
and party were absent from the hotel nearly three hours.
Agreeably to his invariable custom, the Pacha rose early
on Tuesday morning, an& breakfasted at eight o'clock. His
Highness and suite then prepared for being present at the
inspection of the Guards at St. James's -park.
Precisely at ten minutes past nine the Pacha, attended by
Major Dickson, and accompanied by the officers of his suite,
left Mivart's Hotel for Buckingham Palace.
His Highness the Pacha was, immediately on his arrival,
introduced to his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; and the
Duke of Wellington, and his Royal Highness Prince George
of Cambridge, who had also reached the Palace, were also
introduced to the Egyptian Prince.
The Queen's saddle horses were, by the royal command,
ordered from the mews for Ibrahim Pacha and his aides -de •
camp and suite.
At a quarter to ten o'clock the cavalcade left the Palace
for the Horse Guards, where the inspection took place. A
description of the proceedings appears in another column.
Ibrahim Pacha was the great object of attraction, and no
doubt the public announcement of his proposed presence was
instrumental in drawing a vast number of the curious. His
Highness wore the superb military costume of his country, a
uniform of deep scarlet velvet, sumptuously embroidered in
gold, with a cap of scarlet velvet. The left side of his breast
was covered by several decorations, and he wore the ribbon
and decoration of the Legion of Honour, recently presented
to him by Louis Philippe while in Paris. The hilt and scab-
bard of the scymitar he wore were encircled by a profusion of
diamonds and other precious stones. The other parts of his
equipments were equally splendid. The members of his
Highness's retinue ware all in rich military uniforms, with
the exception of his secretary and interpreter.
It transpired from a gentleman holding a high position in
the army, that Ibrahim Pacha expressed his admiration of
the infantry corps to the Duke of Wellington and Prince
Albert, his Highness concluding his observations by saying
that they were the finest troops he had ever seen, as a body
and for their general equipment. His Highness seemed to
participate in the spirit of the inspection, for he watched the
movements of the troops with a keen eye, as might be ex-
pected from such a redoubtable commander. While on the
parade Prince Albert called the Pacha's attention to the
telegraph which was working at the Admiralty.
The Pacha, on retiring from the parade, was cordially
cheered by the populace.
We had nearly omitted to state that his Excellency Sidi
Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from the Pacha of Tunis,
and his attaches, were among the spectators, and were in
several instances mistaken for the Pacha and suite, from the
similarity in the eastern costume.
The Pacha, on his arrival at Buckingham Palace, almost
immediately took leave of his Royal Highness Prince Albert
and the Duke of Wellington, to repair to his hotel with his
suite.

His Highness, after partaking of luncheon, granted
interviews.

A deputation of the Peninsularand Oriental Steam-Packet
Company, consisting of Mr. P. M. Stewart, M.P., Sir John
Pixie, Sir John Campbell, Mr. Wilcox, Captain Nairne, Mr.
C. Ewart, Captain Bourne, R.N., Captain Thornton, R.N.,
and Mr. James Allan, secretary, waited upon the Pacha,
at half-past two o'clock, by appointment, to present an
address.

Major C. Dickson had the honour to introduce the members
of the deputation to his Highness, who received them most
affably.
Dwarkanauth Tagore, Sheriffs Chaplin and Laurie, Lord
Dudley Stuart, and Dr. Bowring, M.P. were granted
interviews with the Pacha in the course of the' afternoon.
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge caPed
on the Pacha on Tuesday afternoon, and inserted his auto-
graph in his Highness's book of visits.
His Highness, attended by Major C. Dickson, and the
principal members of his suite, left Mivart's Hotel shortly
after timr o'clock, to pay visits. His Highness called first on
the Queen Dowager, at Marlborough House, and then went
to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess
of Gloucester, .the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and
Prince George of Cambridge, and subsequently the Duke of
Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James
Graham, the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of St. Germans,
and the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons.
The Pacha and party returned to Mivart's at a quarter past
six o'clock to dinner.

We understand his Highness and suite intend to leave for
a tour in the provinces and in the Highlands of Scotland
towards the close of the ensuing week, unless any unforeseen
circumstances should arise to alter the contemplated move-
ments.

The visitors to his Highness on Tuesday were extremely
numerous.

His Highness and suite went to Lady Peel's assembly
shortly after ten o'clock.

ARRIVAL OF THE GRAND DUKE
CONSTANTINE.
PORTSMOUTH TUESDAY EVENING.-At six o'clock this
morning three ;hips of war were seen rounding Bembridge
Ledge, and BOOR after the Russian colours were distinctly
made out. The squadron, congesting of the Ingermanland,
74, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Lulka ; the Manalay, 26 ;
and the Prince of Warsaw, corvette, anchored at Spithead,
about seven, saluting the garrison with 21 guns, which the
platform battery returned. In the meantime the Com-
mander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, proceeded to
Spithead, in the Lightning yacht steamer, his barge being
towed out by her, and went on board the Ingermanland to
pay his respects to the Grand Duke. He was received on
board by Admiral Lulka and the Grand Duke, who is a
lieutenant on board her, under a salute of 17 guns, which
the Victory returned with a similar number. M. de Berg,
First Secretary to the Russian Embassy, who has been wait-
ing at Portsmouth for the last ten days for the arrival of the
Grand Duke, in company with the Russian Consul, Mr.
March, also went off to the Ingermanland.
On the Russian flag first being made out in the morning,
the electric telegraph was put in requisition to convey the
intelligence of the Duke's arrival to Baron de Brunnow, in
London. The semaphore telegraph also communicated the
same to the Admiralty.
Admiral Sir Charles Ogle remained but a short time on
board the Ingermanland, returning on shore in his barge,
leaving the Lightning, steam-yacht, to attend on his Royal
Highness at Spithead. At eight o'clock the Russian ships
were dressed in colours, following the example of the English
ships, who, in consequence of its being the day appropriated
for the keeping of her roost graciou3 Majesty's birthday,
were all gaily decorated with flags; the Russian ships all
doing us the honour of hoisting a British ensign at their
maintop-gallant-mast-heads, with the Russian colours at the
fore. At twelve o'clock they all fired a royal salute in accof d-
ance with our own ships.
The Grand Duke, we understand, will land at half-past
five o'clock, and, although no Russian standard is or will be
hoisted, and, consequently, all public demonstration will be,
by request, avoided, yet he will be received with all due cour-
tesy and attention. We understand he will remain at the
Governor's house, but a suite of aparttn?nts have been or-
dered at the George Hotel, for the use of three or four of the
officers.

His Highness Ibrahim Paella left with the authorities at
Portsmouth 301. to be given to the poor.

THE JUBILEE OF THE CRUSADERS.—The Mica) re-
presentation of Benedict's Crusaders is to be commemmorated
on Friday evening, by the additional talents of Monteriego,
Cassello, Dulken, Wallace, Richards, and though last, not
least, the favourite Carlotta.
LONDON COFFEE AND EATING HOUSE KEEPER'S
ASsocIATI,N.—At a Committee meeting held at Anderton's
Hotel last night, Mr. Binmere, the President, in the chair,
it was resolved to have an excursion to the fashionable and
fe4roured watering place, Brighton, in July next, in aid of
the funds of that excellent institution, when an opportunity
will be presented to their friends of enjoying that delightful
trip at a very moderate charge, at the same time, through
the extreme liberality of the railway Company, yielding a
surplus to the funds.
'The magistrates of Newcastle last week imposed a fine
upon a female in that town for throwing orange peel on the
causeway.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Our readers will recol-
lect a few weeks since we briefly alluded to a marriage in high life,
which was on the moment of being solemnised, the interested parties
being Lady Anne Elizabeth Mary Grenville, only daughter of the
Duke and Duchess of Buckingham, and Mr. W. IL Gore Langton,
grandson and heir of Colonel Gore Langton. In evident answer to
a paragraph which was inserted in our columns that the marriage
i was only deferred for a short period, a counter-statement was made
by a respected contemporary. The assertion on our part is fully
borne out, and therefore we need not make further remark. Yester-
day morning, at the unusually early hour of eight, the nuptial cere-
mony was solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover-square,
between her Ladyship and the Hon. Gentleman, the Rev. Henry
Howarth, the rector of St. George's, officiating at the solemn rite.
The fair bride was taken to the church by Lady Braybrooke, who in
this delicate family matter has considerately acted the maternal
part. The marriage was private, and singular to state the Duke
and Duchess of Buckingham and the Marquis of Chandos were
absent.

AN HONEST PROPOSAL.—TiIe following appears in a
Yankee paper of May 18 :—" State Loan of 300,000 Dollars.—lt will
be seen by the notice of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund thatiof
proposals will be received until the 2d of June next, for a loan
three hundred thousand dollars at 5 per cent., redeemable after, 1864,
for arrearages to contractors and others on the public works. The
newspaper evidently makes one mistake in the above paragraph.
We perceive It was intended that the bonds should not be redeemed
at any time.

ASCOT IfigATfl RACES

WEDNESDAY.
The publiC, hating reserved themselves for the Cup and
Ibrahim Pacha, a brilliant day's racing Wai left to the ex-
elusive enjoyment of the epicures of the turf, and was
got through with a cl )ser attention to time than was
observed on the first day. It is known that the Queen
will not be present this day, and it is doubtful it the
Prince Consort will attend. It will be some consolation,
however, to her Majesty's loving subjects, that orders
have been received at the Royal Stand to provide for the
reception of Ibrahim Pacha. His Highness is expected
to arrive about one o'clock.
The length to vs hich our details of the running extend

PEDESTRIANISM.
FOOT RACES AT EALING—TUESDAY.
The 130 yards match, for 101. a side, between James Pat-
terson, of London, and D. E. Nickle, of Glasgow, came off at
the Old Hat. After a very fair start, the men run together
a short distance, when it became clear that the Londoner
had the turn of speed, and he ultimately went in a gallant
winner by six or seven yards. Betting, before the start,
6 to 4 on Patterson, it being generally said that Nickle,
in addition to being overmatched, was not in tip-top con-
dition.

JouN SMITH AND D. CUNNINGHAM—The Regent-street
Pet and Dan. Cunningham, the Irish lad, tried their pace in
a spin of half a mile, for 25/. a-side. It was a one-sided
affair, owing to the unfitness of Smith to run the distance;
at about 700 yards, Cunningham then having a strong lead,
Smith reeled and gave in; indeed he seemed to have had
enough at a quarter of a mile. There were some frivolous
objections made as to the Irish lad not running the distance,
which may serve for discussion among the litigious and dis-
putatious, but there can be no doubt as to the winner of the
race, both according to the spirit and the letter of sport-
ing law.

MAtzATIRATT AND WESTHALL—We have already hinted,
that Mallatratt demurred to the appointment of the day and
place made by the stakeholder; this objection he bore out
by not appearing at the spot and time named by that per•
sonage. Westhall went over the ground, with what result
we shall hereafter announce.

ISIALLATRATT AND /011 N. SMITIL—In this affair Malla
tratt has forfeited the deposit made; the match is, there.
fore, off.

MATCH AGAINST TlME.—James Tierney (in time by past,
a soldier in the 61st Regiment), and well known to race-
goers as a roadside runner, is backed for 20/. to run to
Ascot Heath and back again in seven hours, starting at nine
o'clock from Houghton-street, Clare-market; the distance is
56 miles.

of acres of poor land would be thrown out of cultiva-
tion, has, within the last few weeks, received a trium-
phant refutation in this town and neighbourhood. In
passing under the Chiltern Hills the other day, our atten-
tion was pleasingly attracted to scores of blazing fires,
composed of dried turf cut off the sides of the hills, prepa-
ratory to its being brought under the influence of the
plough, with a view to its immediate cultivation. So little
do our excellent farmers in this neighbourhood dread the
affrighting bugbear of free trade, that some of them, parti-
cularly our esteemed townsman Mr. Banwell, are now
adopting an expensive process to cultivate that part of Wat-
lington hill attached to his extensive farm, almost to its
summit. We are firmly persuaded that if sufficient energy
and capital were expendeel on the land, in connexion with
other measures, the British farmer will be able to cope with
any cmpetiti94 the wstrldew-RerAo and Ruche Qa,;ette,
