more points thAil one, they think it might be effected
with greater advantage by branches skirting the town,
and terminating at points without the line described
in their instructions. As to merchandise, they think
a line skirting the metropolis on the north, at such a
distance as to avoid interference with populous dis •
trite and thronged thoroughfares, and connecting the
goods' stations of the various railways from west to
east with each other, terminating at some convenient
point on the Thames, or within the docks, would
more surely attain an easy, unbroken, and economical
communication between the northern railways and
the docks. This line they think should cross
the river to the west of the metropolis, to connect
itself with the South-Western, South-Eastern, and
any other lines that may approach the town on that side,
and they think also that it would be of greater public
value in a military point of view. Each of the other
points for consideration—viz., as to the sacrifice of
property, the interruption of important thoroughfares,
and the interference with plans of improvement already
suggested—furnish the strongest objections to the
extensions on the north sides, which they specify in
detail, and they have submitted the following recom-
mendations, with which we fully coincide, viz:—

and prices were fairly supported. Sales, 6,000 intleiti all Val

It must be stated under this head, that in commercial
circles, at least, the appointment of Mr. Benjamin Hawes,
jun., to an under secretaryship, by Lord John Russell, has
given very considerable satisfaction. We mentioned, a few
days back, that the new Premier would seek the Honourable
Member as a fit party to hold Aim The aptitude for busi-
ness exhibited by Mr. Hawes has long been a subject of
warm comment, not only among his constituents of the
borough of Lambeth, but in Parliamentary circles.
The accounts received this morning from the continent
speak very generally of the excellent appearance of the crops
of Wheat, Rye, Barley, &c., some very refreehing showers
having fallen in Russia, Germany, Prussia, and other parts
of Europe, from whence we usually receive, in times of de-
ficiency in the home crops, our principal supplies of grain. A
lively interest appears to have prevailed for the passing of the
Corn Bill by the Imperial Pa rliament, but at the same time the
favourable advices sent out of the aspect of the crops of Great
Britain. had damped the ardour of speculators. in makieg
purchases of corn to be delivered after the harvest had been
got in, and which would, in case of a deficient yield here,
come into our p ,rts.
The Revenue account, just made up for the last quarter,
is considered as very satisfactory here.
The general advices from the West Indies are of
rather a more cheerful nature, finr the weather in Jamaica,
Barbadoes, and most of the other islands, as well as in
Demerara, was very favourable. The past damage, it was
long since known, could not be repaired.
There are accounts one day later from the United States.
The tight shoe of war already began to pinch the Americans,
and the deficiency in the revenue occasioned by the opera-
tions in Mexico was set down at a very considerable amount.
The Tay steamer brings two millions of dollars from
Mexico on merchants and mining account, but nothing for
the dividend. This was pretty well anticipated, as we
learned by a former arrival that the authorities were
prohibited from paying over any more money to the divi-
dend account from the proceeds of Customs duties.
The Public Securities have been very firm this morning,
and there has been some disposition to enter into business.
Consols for the Account have realised 95% to 95% ex div.

dend payments this week will make money plentiful, for a
time at least. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.

Never did the representative of any borough resign
his seat into the hands of his constituency with a
better title to their consideration and gratitude than
Mr. COBDEN. His farewell address to the electors of
Stockport we have already given, and it is
our honest conviction that the causes which have led
to its publication, and the circumstances which hate
rendered that resignation necessary, will be subjects
of the deepest regret to many millions of his coun-
trymen. As affording us the prospect of Mr. COB-
DEN'S ultimate return to his great legislative labours,
we are, however, prepared, on mature reflection, to hail
the fact of his retirement into private life with sentiments
nearly akin to those of satisfaction, principally because
that cessation of arduous Parliamentary exertions
will prove an inexpressible solace to one
whose whole constitution is debilitated and wrecked
by an unexpected and protracted career of moral and
political agitation. We are so satisfied with the
actuality of that declaration uttered by the ex-Mem-
ber for Stockport, at the final meeting of the League,
that he is not physically constituted for the office
which during the last few years he has so nobly filled,
that we believe a renewal of domestic tranquility to
be the boon most coveted by Mr. COBDEN at this
moment of victory. His temporary withdrawal from
the din of the political arena will assuredly prove to
him the most acceptable recompense for his fervent
and unflagging exertions for the social and
commercial emancipation of his fellow-men: the
ties of home will prove more congenial to
him at this juncture than a score of civic crowns:
the golden solace of repose, more welcome than any
golden testimonials. Such we sincerely believe to
be the modest and unambitious sentiments of our
Great Free-trader, but those sentiments must be
met with proportionate generosity. While his
wishes are being gratified by the acquisition of AO
much time as will be sufficient to recruit his decayed
health, let the wishes of the popular heart be
gratified by accompanying his retirement by some
emphatic expression of national gratitude. Let the
CINCINNATUS of England, on returning to his per-
sonal and household affairs, do so only after having
received some assurance that his services to his
fellow-citizens will ever render him, even in the
quietude of his seclusion, the object of their unceas-
ing solicitude and of their most heartfelt remembrance.
We have written this adjuration, and before the ink
has well dried we receive intelligence of its partial
fulfilment : we have called upon the public to prove
itself worthy of its benefactor, and before our voice
has yet reached the ears of the population an intima-
tion reaches us that upwards of twenty thousand
pounds have been already collected in Manchester as
a testimony to RICHARD COBDEN that his deels are
already having their fruition in the national
heart, and that his extraordinary labours cannot
easily be forgotten. Something like this was neces-
sary under all circumstances ; it was necessary to
prove to the antagonists of the Ministerial policy
that the people were really in earnest in their
anxiety for the removal of all restrictions
upon commerce, and it was necessary, also,
to signalise in a remarkable manner the ability, the
enthusiasm, the eloquence, and the bodily fatigue un-
dergone solely for the advantage of the multitude by
a large-minded, honest-hearted, plain-spoken cotton-
printer of Manchester. When we bear in
recollection the marvellous facilities of com-
munication which have been co-existent
with the agitating movements of Mr. COBDEN, when
we estimate the hundreds of miles by railway, the
voluminous correspondence, the hours of public exhor-
tation, the activity of mind and the bodily drudgery
which were all required from him, day after day, night
after night, month after month, and year after year, it
neither becomes surprising that he should be solicitous
of quietude, now that the triumph is assured, or that
the people for whom he has thus laboured, and the
people for whom he has thus conquered, should
he equally solicitous to tenderkim some unmistakeable
mark of their gratitude. RICHARD COBDEN will now
retire for a period from the turmoils of public and
especially of political life, but he will retire with the
respect of a whole country, and that country the
country_ of 14s :§irtla.,c.4„ftfii.-te,, sojourn:; twelve
months abroad, let us hope that he will return alto-
gether renovated in health, and prepared to assume
that position in our legislative system which would
inevitably cast lustre upon himself and advantage
upon the community. Great Britain is in need of its
RICHARD COBDENS.

" 1. That on the north of the Thames no railway now
before Parliament, or projected, be permitted to come within
the limits described in our instructions.
2. That if at any time hereafter it should be deemed
advisable to admit railways within those limits, this should
be done in conformity with some uniform plan, carefully laid
down under the authority of your Majesty's Government,
and sanctioned by the wisdom of Parliament ; and that under
no circumstances should the thoroughfares of the metropolis,
and the property and comfort of its inhabitants, be surren-
dered to separate sct►e- ,ght forward at different times,
and without re,- other.

"3. That on to the Thames, either the North
Kent Railway be pt..i0.,,A1 to have its terminus in Union-
street, and to join the terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way at Waterloo-bridge; or that the South-Eastern Railway
be permitted to extend to Waterloo-bridge; accordingly as
one or other of these lines may, upon a comparison of their
general merits, receive the sanction of Parliament, and sub-
ject, in either case, to the conditions which we have pointed
out in this report.

Russia has, it is said, demanded that TYSSOWSKI,
the ex-Dictator of Cracow, shall be given up.
Neither Prussia nor Austria wish him to be detained.
He will proceed to Trieste with a Saxon passport,
and an Austrian safe conduct, and from thence he will
embark for the United States.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Chambers were prorogued on Friday by a
royal ordonnance, and the dissolution will take place
immediately. According to the Journal des Debate
the Electoral Colleges will be convoked on the Ist of
August, and the new Chamber will meet on the 27th
of that month.
In the Chamber of Peers, on Thursday, Count
MONTALEMBERT alluded to the occupation of Cracow
by the three Powers as a violation of the treaty of
Vienna. The reply of M. GuizoT was, that no per-
son would venture to pretend that treaties were not
to be modified if circumstances rendered it necessary.
The changes that had occurred in Belgium in refer-
ence to Holland, and in the East, were a proof to the
contrary ; hut then nothing could,be effected without
the concurrence of the contracting powers. In
the present case there were double rights to
watch over, those relating to the republic
of Cracow, and the Poles placed under the
different powers ; and those of the Governments who
had signed the treaties. These double rights had
never been forgotten by the KING'S Government.
In the year 1836, when Cracow was first occupied,
they were put forward and insisted on by M. TRIERS,
and in 1838 by Count MOLE. In both instances the
KING'S Government, whilst allowing the necessity of
the occupation, had maintained its right to watch
over what regarded the constitution of the provinces
in question. What the Hon. Ministers just named
had then done in 1836 and 1838, he had effected in
1846; he had made the same reservations, and main-
tained the same rights.—(Hear, hear.) He had also
received the same reply, that events had necessitated
a temporary occupation, but that existing treaties
should be respected."
From the contents of these papers it would appear
that the best understanding subsists between the new
POPE and the Court of France.
Letters from Dijon of the Ist state that a collision
had taken place between the French and Piedmontese
' workmen, employed in the construction of the Lyons
and Dijon Railway. The French demanded that
the contractors should dismiss all foreign workmen,
and being refused they hoisted a red flag, and
attacked the Piedmontese workmen employed at
Blaizay. Several lives had been lost, and the riot
had not terminated when the mail left.
It would appear that the French are getting
heartily tired of their colonies in Oceania. .The fol-

The report of the Commissioners appointed to in-
vestigate and report upon the various railway pro.
jects of which the termini are proposed to be esta:
blished within, or in the immediate vicinity of, the
metropolis, have published their report at considerable
length, which appeared in The Sun of Thursday last.
the great importance of the report of the Select Com-
mittee of the House of Lords, to which we called the
public attention on Thursday and Friday last, and the
intense public interest excited by the change of Minis-
try during the past week, prevented us from devoting
our attention at an early period to this report,
although it is on a subject which must command the
attention of every inhabitant of this great city, all of
whom must feel more or less interested in the result
of these inquiries. The Commissioners have devoted
their attention to no less than nineteen different
projects, which it was proposed to extend
within the limits of their inquiry ; of these no less
than fifteen contemplated termini north of the Thames,
and the remaining four to the south thereof.

The chief point for consideration manifestly is
whether the extension of these railways into the
centre of the metropolis is calculated to afford such
additional convenience to th 3 public as will com-
pensate for the sacrifice of property, the interruption
of important thoroughfares, and the interference with
plans of improvement already suggested. They
think that a considerable distinction exists as to the
projects north and south of the river. The more
convenient points for the southern railways they
conceive to be the vicinities either of Waterloo
or Hungerford-bridge for the West-end, and of
London-bridge for the City, which are attainable
with much less disturbance of house property
than would be caused by bringing the northern rail.
ways to points of comparatively equal convenience on
the north side of the Thames. The property to bc
disturbed is less valuable, and the thoroughfares to b•
crossed are less important, and fewer in number, 0)

" The natives of the island of Wahine, urged by the spirit
of hostility imparted to all their countrymen by the enemies
of France, murdered a pilot (an American by birth) who
was in our service. An expedition was sent against the in-
habitants of that island, but the campaign had not the results
expected, and we actually sustained a defeat. Wahine is
situate 20 leagues to the west of Otaheite, and is the most ad-
vanced land in the small archipelago existing on that side.
It is not very populous, but being only 10 or 12 miles distant
from the other islands, their entire population united
against us, and we were compelled to retreat, not, however,
without experiencing some loss." The same letters announce
that the natives info-Lied to attack Fapeii, and set it on fire,
"which," says the writer, "will Oe an •-asy matter, as all

They are in want of provisions, and are reduced to live on
bacon and salt meat, supplied from Europe. A contract had
been entered into with a person who undertook to provide
cattle from the interior of the country, but he has not been
able to fulfil the conditions of the contract. He everywhere
encountered an unconquerable reluctance on the part of the
natives to sell their cattle when they were told that it was to
teed the French. Even at Papeiti the Indians manifested
such sentiments of hostility, that the agents of the Adminis-
tration were obliged, in order to insure their lives, to retire
in the evening, and spend the night in the blockhouses. Our

improvements suggested :on that side vs hich would
be interfered with by the projected lines. The ordi-
nary traffic, too, would be less interfered with ; it is
not so great as on the northern side, and runs through
wider and more convenient channels, so that the addi-
tional traffic to be created by railway termini could
more easily be accommodated. A greater number of
the put lie would be accommodated by the southern
extensions ; and the Legislature has already sanctioned
a line from the Nine-elms to the York-road, near
Waterloo-bridge, and the construction of a terminus
at the latter point. For all these reasons the Com-
missioners look upon the close approach of the
southern railways to the eastern and western bridges
of the metropolis in a more favourable light than
that in which they view the proposed extension of
the northern lines into the City, or other thickly in-
habited districts of London. These reasons appear
sufficiently cogent to warrant the conclusion at which
the Commissioners have arrived, and we think they
are such as, when maturely considered, must com-
mand general assent.

(FIL,I.M OUR CiialtllsroNDENT.)
.I..runbAr.—By moning's mail intelli-
gence Jrrived here that a tr,w writ had been moved for and
granted ti,r the election or a Member of Parliament, to fill
the seat vacant by the acceptance of the office of Secretary of
State for the Houle Department by Sir George Grey, one of
our borough representatives. This news did not, however,
create anything like the sen,ation generally attendant on an-
nouncements of that kind, becairA, there was no prospect of
opposition. In the course of the day the writ arrived in
the town, and was eelivered over to W. P. Blackmore, Esq.,
the Mayor, and it is expected the election, or rather re-
election, will quietly come off on Thursday next,

It appears from the statistical inquiries made by
the Commissioners, that the distribution of passengers
from the various railway stations in London are in
the proportion of nine to the west, and four to the
east of a line drawn north and south through
Temple-bar. They think that the accommodation
to be derived from such extension is greatly over-
rated. It is by the passengers, who constitute the
short traffic on lines entering London, and who are
in the daily habit of using a metropolitan railway,
that the advantage of carrying the lines as far as
possible into town would be most sensibly felt. The
average distance which is travelled by passengers
stopping at the Euston-square terminus is sixty-four
miles. To persons who travel this distance, and
who may be assumed to use the railway less
frequently, the saving of a mile or two cannot be
of so great importance either in time or money,
and they do not think the accommodation would
