THE OVERLAND ROUTES TO
INDIA.

TO TRH EDITOR OF TILE TIMES.

Sir,—l have the pleasure to enclose your particulars of
the route by which the second express, rid Trieste, an-
nounced in your columns this morning, arrived.
Should there still be any doubters as to the positive su-
periority of the Trieste route under the most adverse circum-
stances, I beg to tell them that if proper arrangements had
been made, and good steamers placed between Alexandria
and Trieste, Osten and Dover, this news would have been
in London in eight days and a half from Alexandria.
Pray allow me to thank you on behalf of the Austrian
Lloyd's Company for the liberal present you made Mr.
FrigehnUller, the ccurier who brought the express in ques-
tion.—l remain, Sir, your most faithful servant,
THOMAS WAGHORN.

Overland-office, 34, Cornhill, Feb. 5. -
The Austrian Lloyd's steamer Imperatrice left Alexandria
on the 22d of January at noon, encountered heavy storms,
and having disabled some of her machinery, and run short of
coals, was obliged to put into Corfu, and only arrived at
Trieste at 6 P.M. of the 29th of January.

The Imperatrice did not arrive at Domino, but at Trieste,
as there were no previous arrangements made for a courier.
The dispatches were cleared by the Board of Health at 8,
and Mr. Frigelmiiller left Trieste soon after.
Here it must be remarked that no preparations were
made on any part of the route, as there was no intention
of sending a courier until it was found that the dispatches
were of such importance, and for the chance of arriving ear-
lier in London than the Marseilles express. There were no-
where horses ready, and in many instances the courier was
obliged to wait for them. Rain or snow prevailed the whole
journey, and in some parts the snow was from three to four
feet deep, and the roads in the worst condition that could
be imagined during any winter. The journey, therefore, was
from—

Trizste to Inspruck,
Inspruck to Ulm,
Ulm to Stutgard,
Stutgard to Carlsruhe.

The courier having arrived at Carlsruhe at night, and no
preparation having been made for a special train on the
railway to Manheim, and there being no steam-boats on the
Rhine, en account of the floods, the whole journey from
Carlsruhe.to Cologne was performed in a carriage, over roads
that were much flooded.
From Cologne to Ostend the journey was by railway.
Arrived at Ostend, Mr. Frigelmiiller was obliged to wait
five hours, no special steam-boat being available ; and then
he came, not to Dover, but to the Thames. He left Ostend
at 3 e'clock, A. 1.1., and arrived in the river at half-past 5,
r.x., on the 4th of February.

EXTENSIVE FORGERY OF RAIL-

WAY TRANSFERS AT LEEDS.
(FROM OUR REPORTER.)
LEEDS, THURSDAY.—A case of considerable importance,
and which has caused a great deal of excitement in this
town, particularly amongst sharebrokers and dealers, was
heard beforo the Mayor, John Darnton Luccock, Esq., and
a full bench of magistrates, at the Court-house here to-day.
The person charged was Hermann Julius Marcus, late of the
firm of Marcus, Naylor, and Co., sharebrokers, and a person
moving in the best circles of society. He is joint secretary
to the Mechanics' Institution,'a member of the committee of
the Philosophical Society, and a deacon connected with a
Dissenting congregation in this town.
The charge against him was, that he had forged the name
of Mr. Darnton Lupton, ex-mayor of Leeds, to transfers for
one hundred shares in the London and Croydon Railway, for
the purpose of cheating his partners out of the profits arising
from the transaction. _

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. John Naylor, ono of
the partners in ;the late firm, that about the latter end of
June last, the prisoner purchased one hundred shares in the
London and Croydon Railway, on account, as it appeared
from the books, of Mr. Darnton Lupton, the value of which
was 2,300/. About the middle of July, the shares were
sold by the prisoner, on account of Mr. Lupton, for 2,4741.
10s., leaving a profit of 1741. 10s., which the prisoner had
put into his own pocket. When the shares, however, were sold,
it was necessary they should be transferred in the usual
manner, and the prisoner accordingly forged the name of Mr.
Lupton to the transfer, as will appear by the following evi-
dence. _ _

Darnton Lupton, Esq., being sworn, stated that he had
known the prisoner for many years, and for some time
had employed him and his partners to buy and sell
railway scrip. It was usual when scrip was either bought
or sold, for the brokers to send a written notice stating the
particulars; and when the scrip of shares he had bought was
delivered he paid the amount directly, either in a cheque on
Messrs. Beckett and Co., or in cash. In August last he went
to the office of Marcus, Naylor, and Co., to see how his ac-
count stood, but none of the partners were in. He saw the
clerk, and desired him to turn to his (Mr. Lupton's) ac-
count, and he there saw a large amount to his debit, 2,3001.
he believed, for London and Croydon shares, upon which he
remarked " those shares are not mine," and put a cross op-
posite to the amount. Two months afterwards he received
a dividend warrant from the London and Croydon office,
and as he never held any stock in that Company,
it excited his suspicions that all was not right.
He shortly afterwards wrote to the secretary of
the company, and from the answer lie received he felt it
his duty to apply to the magistrates for a warrant to appre-
hend the prisoner, who was accordingly taken into custody.
In answer to a question, the witness said that the prisoner
had upon two occasions, he believed, orders to buy scrip for
him, without specifying any particular line of railway, no
amount being named. All his communications in buying and
selling scrip through the prisoner or his partners were given
verbally, but: he felt certain he never had any communica-
tion with them on the subject id London and Croydon shares.
Ile was certain the prisoner never had told him he had
bought 87 and 13 London and Croydon shares en his
(witness's) account, nor any other number. The in-
variable practice was to send a contract when any-
thing was bought, and he had never received one,
not had the prisoner ever told him that he had
sold any London and Croydon shares on his account, nor did
he (the prisoner) ever account to hir for the purchase or
sale of any such sitares.
The transfers were here banded to Mr. Lupton, who care-
fully examined them, and declared the signature Darnton
Lupton,; which was affixed to each, not to, be his hand-
Writing, and that he had never given his consent or autho-
rity for any party whatever to sign his name to any such
documents.
Mr. Naylor stated that he believed the signature to be in
the handwriting of the prisoner.

STATE OF DUNGABNAN.--The amounts we continue
to receive from Dungarvan are, indeed, melancholy in the
extreme. Sickness, scarcity, and want of employment, shed
their bitterness upon the devoted heads of the poor. There
are upwards of five thousand human beings, we are given to
understand, in a state of want and wretchedness, requiring as-
sistance from Government, or from those whom God h §s blessed
with means for such purree. The poorhouse is crammed
with women and children, in which there are also upwards
of forty men capable of work, but none to be had. The spread
of fever is really alarming, induced, of course, from want,
cold, and hunger. Nor do the evils stop here. The poor-
law guardians met on last ThursdaY, when they reported
that the supply of potatoes, destined for use during the season,
and carefully put up, turned out, on examination, to be more
than half rotten, and that gle reul4inCier are going fast.—

THE FATAL AC CIDENT ON THE

SOUTH-EAST ERN RAILWAY.

The following are th en;terialpoiiions- of Major-
General Pasley's report to the Lords of the Committee
of Privy Council for Tirade en the fatal accident of the
20th of January, on the South-Eastern Railway, occa-
sioned by the falling- of a bridge under a goods train.
(This report was yes';erday issued by order of the House
of Lords.) _

I,Thoritenihnalg I,ofJatnh.
" Railwtay Department, Board of Trade,
one o'clock a.m. on the the 20th instant,
"My Lord—The fall of an occupation bridge of the
South-Eastern Railway, tint lermiaed by the floods, about
whilst an up goods train ft •orn Tonbridge was passing
over it, whereby an engine and tinder and two goods
waggons were precipitated into the road beneath, by
which the engine-man leas killed and the stoker injured,
having been reported by Mr. Hebert, Secretary of the
Company, in his letter veceived at this office on the 21st
instant, I proceeded ye: nerday to inquire into the cir-
cumstances by the 11 - - 30 a.m. train.
" The bridge that gave: way, situated •
about
a mile to
the westward of the Tot abridge station, and 120
1 yard;
beyond the third bridge. over the Medway, was twelve
feet wide, built with substantial brick abutment walls
supporting iron girders, bears ng strong transverse planks
and longitudinal sleepers on which the rails rested. Mr.
Barlow informed me that the foundations of these walls
were sunk to a sufficient dep th in compact gravel, be-
neath a stratum of a still ms ire compact sort of natural
conglomerate abOut foar feet- thick, on which a paved
roadwayunder the bridge was formed. The ground ad-
joining to this bridge, on the east side of that road and
south of the railway, arord ed ballast of good quality,
which was dug on the spot, and used by Mr. Hoof, the
contractor, for keeping the railway in repair, and in
removing this material the ground had been cut
away so as to form a v ell large excavation, said
to be at least from eight tso ten feet in average depth,
and in some places more. Being so much lower than
the original surface, which was itself liable to be
overflowed after heavy rains, ;she contractor had erected
a small steam-engine for punai ing out the water ; and
in order to diminish the treed )1e and expense of this
operation, he made a tile drain from the ballast hole to
the summer level of the river., ssshich he carried under
the occupation road, and in so- doing he must of course
have broken through the att.( rig crust of conglomerate
before mentioned, by a trench at least two feet wide, to
a depth which Mr. Barlow est' Wastes to have been about
six feet below the surface, and . at this time the paving of
the roadway was taken up, an d not replaced afterwards.
I saw a labourer in charge of • the ballast-hole, who told
sue that it was empty at nine: ,P.M. on the night of the
19th inst , and that the river ha d not then overflowed
its bank. In. the course of the might a south-westerly
gale of tremendous violence was b lowing, which agreeing
with the general direction of the course of the Medway,
caused the innudation of the river to rise to the
extreme height, due to the oontinued heavy rains,
in much less than the usual tine, so that it over-
flowed the low ground on both „Ades near the bridge,
under which a rapid torrent from the northward, sup-
posed to be about four feet deep, ran down the occupa-
tion road, which met another curt tint from the westward
on the south side of the bridge, near the ballast-hold
above described, and by their con ibined action breaking
down a low wall that had been ere cted by the contractor
to protect it, they poured into the ballast hole like little
cataracts, sweeping away the side: ; of it near the bridge,
and probably scouring out the eat 7th over the tile drain,
so as by degrees to undermine the abutment walls on the
south side of the bridge. Consegu ently, when the goods
train from Tonbridge came to the spot, about one- half
or rather more of the abutment walls gave way under
the weight of the locomotive engine and tender, both of
which were thrown down, the cng ine lying on its side,
almost at right angles to its original course, on
a mass of rubbish, whilst the tender in rear of
it was buried so deep in a chasm ;made by the violence
of the flood that I could only sect a small part of it,
though the inundation had at that time subsided, and
there was no run of water under the remains of the
bridge. At this time two of the original iron girders
on the north side of the briage only were standing, one
of which bore the outside rail of the down line, the
other raillhaving been under-pinned by strong trans-
verse timbers under the original longitudinal sleeper ; so
that the whole of the up line, over the broken bridge,
was in a secure state for the passage of the Company's
trains, a temporary but strong vvoonien viaduct having
been formed upon piles to secure the• gap, the greatest
width of which on the south side of the railway was
fifty feet. After the accident occurred the passengers
is the first trains were obliged to stop and walk over
the bridge ; but about eleven o'es.lock on the same
morning the down line was rendered safe for carriages,
and in twenty-four hours afterwards. for locomotive en-
gines also, by great exertion, under the personal super-
intendence of the engineer, who came to the spot soon
after the bridge broke down .
The cause of this accident is solely to be ascribed to
an error of judgment on the part of the contractor in
having advanced his excavation too near to the bridge,
and to the circumstance of its being empty at the.period
when the river overflowed its banks. Had this ballast-
hole either been at a greater distance from the bridge, or
had it been full of water before a rapid stream from the
river ran over the occupation road, the same unfortunate
result would not have ()courted. I fotend that nearly one •
half of each of the abutment walls still remained stand-
ing in a perfect state, which way be ,considered a proof
of the goodness of the brickwork, as -well as of the ori-
ginal foundations. Had either been bad, the whole must
have fallen in.
" I saw no symptoms of cracks or settlements in an
of the brickwork, and no subsidence in any of the wood'-
work of the bridges or viaducts, and therefore I beg
leave to confirm my first favourable opinion of their
safety, the only one that failed having been perfect in its
original construction.—l have, &c.,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESI-ERDA.Y.
The Chester Cup betting was flat, and unmarked by
any particular movement ; it is only necessary for us to
call attention to an improvement in Intrepid, in favour
of whom several commissions were executed at 40 to 1,
35 to 1, and 1,000 to 30. Best Bawer, Whinstone,
Sweetmeat, and Cataract were firm, at the prices quoted
against them. The Derby transactions were few in num-
ber, and of small importance ; from the state of the
market, however, we should not be surprised to see an
early change in the position of Scott's two favourites ;
Brocardo is losing ground, and Ingo " looking up."

rnory of our readers, that, nearly two years ago, a bazaar
was held in the Royal Gardens at Chelsea, for the purpose
of augmenting the funds of this most excellent and
valuable " charity." The result has been, that a struc-
ture, in all respects suitable, and one which by its excel-
lence in architecture contributes essentially to the beauty of
the metropolis, has arisen in Old Brompton—the Montpelier
of Landon, famous for the salubrity of its air ; its peculiar
mildness, indeed, has long been celebrated. It was in this
vicinity that James 1. made the Attempt to introduce the
mulberry, with a view to the home growth of silk; and in
more modern times it is selected by physicians as the
best calculated for persons afflicted will' delicate lungs. A
better site, therefore, could not have been selected; and the
architect has so ably discharged his duty, tat no structure
in the kingdom is provided with a greater mlmber of im-
portant conveniences, while its elegance as a public building
is universally acknowledged. Little more than the half
of it is, however, completed; that which is finished is

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.

LOSS OF THE CATARAQUI EMIGRANT SHIP.

414 LIVES LOST.
The following particulars of the loss of the above ves-
sel are condensed from the Port Philip and Hobart
Town papers, received at Lloyd's this meriting :
" It is our melancholy duty to lay before the public
the particulars of the most awful shipwreck which has
ever occurred in those colonies—the total wreck of the
emigrant ship Cataraqui, upon the iron bound coast of
King's Island. How terribly dues this catastrophe give
weight to the observations we made in our last number
upon the imperative necessity of constructing light-
houses-on the shores of Bass's Straits, whilst daily and
hourly hundreds of valuable lives are incurring the same
dangers as those who have thus been sacrificed.
The following particulars are from Mr. Guthrie, the
chief mate, who, with his eight fellow-survivors, reached
the shore almost in a state of nudity, having of course
lost everything they possessed.
The Cataraqui, Captain C. W. Finlay, sailed from
Liverpool on the 20th of April, with 369 ernizeants, and
a crew, including two doctors, M. C. Carpenter and
Edward Carpenter (brothers), of forty-six s Ads. The
emigrants were principally from Bedfordshire, Stafford-
shire, Yorkshire, and Nottinghamshire. About 120
of the passengers were married, with families, anti, in
all, seventy-three children.- On the 3d of August, at
seven in the evening, the ship was hove too, and con-
tinued laying to until three, a.m., of the 4th. At half-
past four, it being quite dark and raining hard—blowing
a perfect gale and the sea running mountains high—the
ship struck on a reef, situate on the west coast of King's
Island, entrance of Bass's Straits. No opportunity had
offered for taking an observation, to enable the captain
to ascertain the ship's course, for four days prior to the
ship striking ; and from the dead reckoning kept, it was
presumed that the vessel was in 141 deg. 22 min. east
longitude;and 32 min. 17 sec, south, which would make
her between sixty or seventy miles from King Island.
Immediately the ship struck she was sounded, and four
feet water was in the hold. The scene of confusion and
misery that ensued at this awful period it is impossible to
describe. All the passengers attempted to rush upon deck,
and many succeeded in doing so, until the ladders were
knccked down by the workings of the vessel, when the
shrieks from men, women and children, from below,
were terrific, calling on the watch on deck to assist
them. Tho crew to a man were on deck the moment the
ship struck, and were instantly employed in handing up
the passengers. Up to the time the vessel began break-
ing up, it is supposed that between 300 and 400 were
got on deck by the extraordinary exertions of the crew.
At this time the sea was breaking over the ship on the
larboard side, sweeping the decks, every sea taking away
more or less of the passengers. About 5 A-m. the ship
careened right over on her larboard side, washing away
boats, bulwarks, spars, and a part of the cuddv, and
literally swept the decks. At this critical period the
captain gave orders to cut away the masts, hoping the
vessel would right, to enable the crew to get on deck the
passengers left below. Everything was done that could
be under the circumstances to put the vessel upright, but
all to no purpose. The passengers below were now all
drowned, the ship being full of water, and the captain
gave those on deck directions to cling to that part of the
wreck then above water, until daylight, hoping that
the spars would be of some service in making a
breakwater under lee, and thus enable the survivors to
get on shore in the morning. When day broke we
found the stern of the vessel washed in, and numerous
dead bodies floating around the ship, some hanging upon
the racks. Several of the passengers and crew (about
200 altogether), were still holding on to the vessel. The
sea breaking over, and every wave washing some of
them away. About four in the afternoon the vessel
started amidships, at the fore part of the main rigging,
when immediately some 70 or 100 were launched into
the tumultuous and remorseless waves ! The survivors
ran ridge lines along the side of the wreck, to enable
them to hold on. The remainder of the upper deck
now began to break up and wash away. A buoy was
now made, and floated towards the shore, but it coald
not be got nearer than twenty yards from the shore,
owing to its getting entangled with the sea weed on the
rocks, and there was not one on shore to catch it and
secure it on the sand. The fury of the waves continued
unabated, and about five o'clock the wreck parted by the
forerigging, and so many ;Bulls were submerged in the
waters, that only seventy survivors were left, crowded on
the forecastle, who were thenlashed to the wreck. The sea
continued breaking over them, the winds raging, and
the rain heavy all night, and thus the poor creatures conti-
nued. Numbers died and fell overboard, or sunk and
were drowned at the places where they were lashed.
When day broke the following morning, it was discovered
that only about thirty were left alive. The sea was now
making a clean breach into the forecastle, the deck of
' which was rapidly breaking up. About this time, whilst
numbers were helplessly clinging to the bows, and con-
tinued dropping off without the possibility of succour,
the captain attempted to reach the shore, but was un-
able, and with some assistance regained the wreck. The
lashings of the survivors were now undone, in order to
give them the last chance of life. Mr. Thomas Guthrie,
the chief mate, now on the spritsail yard, was washed
out to the bowsprit ; he saw the captain, the second
mate, and steward clinging to the bows, with about
eighteen or twenty dead bodies on the fragment of the
wreck. Mr. Guthrie was now driven to a detached part
of the wreck, but soon found it impossible to live with
such a sea breaking over him; ho seized a piece of plank
under his arm, leaped into the water, and was carried
over the reef and got ashore. He found a passenger,
who had got ashore during the night, and one of the
crew. John Robinson plunged into the water when he
saw the mate ashore, and partly swimming, and partly
driven, reached land. Five other seamen followed, and
landed dreadfully exhausted. Almost immediately after
the vessel totally disappeared. Thus, out of 423 sonls
on board, only nine were saved.
The names of those saved are—Mr. Thomas Guthrie,
chief mate; Solomon Brown, emigrant; John Roberts,
William Jones, Francis Milian, John Simpson, John
Robertson, and Peter Johnson, able seamen; and Win.
Blacketock, apprentice. They had neither food nor
drink from the time the vessel struck (Sunday) to
Tuesday afternoon, when they found one small tin of
preserved fowl ; after eating which they went and
laid down on the bush, having got a wet blanket out of
the water for their only covering, and being almost quite
destitute of clothes. The beach was strewed with

pieces of the wreck and portions of dead bodies in
horrible profusion. After a vain search for water, and
without finding any other survivors, they slept that
night in the bush. The following morning they found
a cask of water on shore, but were unable to make a
fire. However, about nine or ten o'clock in the fore-
noon they observed a smoke, which, presuming they
were on the main land, they imagined was a fire of the
natives. Shortly after they saw a white man ap-
proaching, who turned out to be Mr. David
Howie, residing upon the island. It seems Mr.
Howie, observing a portion of the wreck,
arranged to reconnoitre the whole island. As
Mr. Howie's boat was wrecked, there was no possibility
of leaving the island. The party, therefore, constructed
a hut, and remained five weeks, during which time they
were most hospitably provided for by Mr. Howie and his
party, according to their means, the supplies having to
be carried forty miles, over a most difficult road. On
the 7th of September they saw the Midge beating for
the island, which toolcthem off with much difficulty;

and by the aid of Mr. Howie, on Tuesday, September 9,
they landed at Hobson Bay, at half-past ten this day
(September 13).
Throughout the whole of these trying events the sur-
vivors give all praise to the captain and crew for their
exertions, and it was not until all hope was utterly ex-
tinguished that they left the vessel. Mr. Guthrie, the
mate, is also warmly commended. They employed them-
selves in burying the dead bodies they ricked up, the
mangled condition of many of which it is too painfully
horrible to describe; and they speak in the most grati-
fied 'manner of the exertions and aid of Mr. Howie and

his party of sealers, who reside upon King's Island.

Mr. Patterson, the emigration agent, with the exception
of eight or nine, whose names it was impossible to make

ADDRESS TO LORD METCALFE.
At a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen personally
connected with India, held at the Oriental Club on the
19th ult., the Earl of Auckland, in the chair, it was una-
nimously resolved to present an address to Lord Met-

The presentation of the document took place on Mon-
thy last, the Earl of Auckland conveying the same to
his Lordship, unaccompanied by any deputation.
Lord Metcalfe was absent from home when the Noble
Earl called, but the following acknowledgment was re-
ceived on Wednesday by the Right Hon. Holt Mac-
kenzie, chairman of the committee, under whose super-
intendence the address was prepared:—
" Ts THE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE ADDRESS OF THE CIVIL
AND MILITARY SERVANTS OF THE EAST INDIA COM-
PANY, AND OTHERS PERSONALLY CONNECTED WITH

INDIA.
"My Lords and Sirs—Often as similar declarations
have been made, none can ever have been made with
greater truth than that with which I now assure you
that the language is inadequate to express the feelings
inspired by the honour which you have conferred on me.
"It is peculiarly dear to me as coming from a nume-
rous body, who have either witnessed or taken an in-
terest in my endeavours to serve my country in various
capacities. Among them are some under whom I have
had the honour of serving ; some whose public services
I have had the honour of superintending ; some with
whom I have co-operated as colleagues ; some who as
schoolfellows have known me from my boyhood; some
who as contemporaries have been engaged in the same
field ; some who hold the highest positions connected
with India ; and many who, without any personal
acquaintance, have nevertheless concurred to do me
honour ; the whole proceeding exhibiting an accumula-
tion of condescension, affection, kindness, and generosity,
for which no words can convey a due sense of the feel-
ings of respect and gratitude, and heartfelt emotions by
which I am overwhelm ed.
" Such an honour far surpasses any estimate that I
can entertain of my humble pretensions, but, although I
am conscious that it is chiefly owing to kindness and
affection, nevertheless to be the object of such feelings,
I must ever regard as one of the highest honours that
the world can afford.
" Ilad I retired from the colonial service of my coun-
try with health to enable me to discharge other publio
functions, it would have been the highest satisfaction to
me to devote the rest of my life to those duties in the
Legislature devolving on the rank to which I have been
elevated by our most gracious Sovereign ; but as it ap-
pears to be the will of the Almighty, that sickness and
infirmity should be the lot of my remaining days, I shall
in that state cherish the recollection of your kindness as
one of the greatest blessings I can enjoy.
" Proud of my relation with the services in India, in
which so many eminent men have been formed and are
continually rising, it is a source of indescribable plea-
sure to me that the approbation accorded to my efforts
in other quarters should meet with sympathy from those
personally connected with that splendid portion of the
British empire, and that one of the last acts of my pub-
lic life should be to convey to you my grateful sense of
the generous sentiments which you elter

—The authors tia
as amateur dramatic artistes with no small ertit, and it would
seem that the present season is to be distinguished as the
seasoa of amateur actors. We understand that to-morrow
there will be en amateur performance at the Strand
Teatre, for the benefit of the Printer's Pension Society, when
Colman's sterling comedy of John Bull will be represented.
The characters in this comedy are all strongly defined, the
plot is interesting, and perhaps a better play for amateur
acting could rot have been selected, and the friends of the
charity will, no doubt, muster in stong force on the occasion.
REPRESENTATION or MAYO.—We are authorised to
state that Mr. Ousels lliggins, of Westport, will address the
electors of Mayo, as a candidate for the vacancy in the repre-
sentation caused by the intended retirement of Mr. Mark

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION IN AYRSHIRE.—We under-
stand that a project is in contemplation for the immediate
establislunent of a Collegiate Institution, in connexion with
the Scottish Episcopal Church, in the neighbourhood of Kil-
marnock, or some other central point in Ayrshire. The object
of this establishment is, in the first instance, the training of
young men, of the middle ani. humbler classes of life, for the
office of clergymen in Scotland, and in the British colonies ;
and, in the sec nd place, the providing sound Religious
instruction, together with a first-rate classical and mathe-
matical education for laymen, on the model of Eton, the
Charterhouse, and other Grammar-schools in England. The
system is to be one of self-denial, and the greatest economy
is to prevail, so that those for whose benefit it is to be
established, and whose clerical ministrations can never
be adequately rewarded in this world, may be accustomed
from the outset to a life of hardship and self-discipline.
It is intended to place this school under the charge
of two clergymen of high attainments, from the Universi•
ties of Oxford and Cambridge; and it is expected' that the
annual charge for board and education will not exceed 15/.
or 20/. The institution will be chiefly supported by the
produce of a farm, which may be obtained on very favour-
able terms ; and, as this will be cultivated in part by the
students, care shall he taken that they acquire a thorough
knowledge of agriculture and agricultural chemistry. 4Yr

the su devoted to their support, but for the want of pro-
per mananagement in the expenditure o the funds pro-
vided for their support. Ile proposed tf o
increase the
number of local fever hospitals, which would enable
them to dispense with many county fever hospitals. He
would have ono in every union in Ireland, and be would
also have an infirmary in every union ; and he would sug-
gest that the government of dispensaries should be vested
in a local board composed of twenty of the largest rate-
payers, and of those who gave a donation of 201. to the
institution. The infirmaries he would leave under the
government of the authorities of the union. For. the
purposes of inspection and general superintendence,
he would give authority to the General Board
of Health of Ireland as the central governing body.
With regard to the poor• law, he did not believe there
was any desire in Ireland.to get rid of the poor-law. He
contended that a poor-law was necessary for Ire-
land, and experience had shown the futility of the ob-
jections which had been originally urged against it.
He considered, however, that some alteration was re •
quired as to the manner in which the poor-rates were
assessed. The Noble Earl then preceded to complain
that in many or the unions, in which the members of
the Board of Guardians were Roman Catholics,' the
Protestant pauper children in the workhouse had been
placed by the guardians under the care of the Roman

Catholic chaplain, for the purpose of having them
brought up as Roman Catholics. He thought that in
every union-house there should be a Protestant chap-

lain.

After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and the
Duke of WELLINGTON the motion was agreed to.
The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a first time,
and their Lordships adjourned.

The House met at Four o'clock.
Mr. FREIVEN took the oaths and his seat for East
Surrey.
A new writ was ordered for the borough of Bucking-
ham, in the room of Sir T. FREMANTLE.
The Sheriffs of London presented a petition from the
Lord Mayor and Corporation, in favour of a repeal of

the corn-laws.
Lord G. SOMERSET brought up the Report of the
Committee on Railways.
Several petitions were presented for and against rail-
way Bills.
Several petitions were presented in favour of a repeal
of the corn-laws, and also petitions for protection to agri-
culture. Petitions were also presented in favour of the
reduction of the duty on malt.
Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice, for the 19th, for an ad-
dress to the Crown with respect to the state of educa-

•
tion in Wales.
Mr. LIDDELL gave notice of his intention tomorrow
to put a question to the Government with respect to
their intentions as to improving the condition of juvenile
offenderi.
Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of his intention to-morrow,
in going into Committee of Supply, to call the attention
of the House to the state of famine and distress in Ireland.
On the motion of Dr. Bowanio, returns were ordered
with respect to the harbour duties in the Isle of Man.
Sir 11. PEEL, in answer to a question from Dr. Bow-
ring, said that the Government had not received any in-
formation of any retaliatory measures contemplated by
Spain with a view to obtain the introduction of the
sugars of Cuba on the same terms with those of Manilla,
Venezuela, and the United States, nor did he believe any

such measures were contem plated.
Lord Joni RUSSELL wished to know whether the
Government had had any further correspondence with
the Spanish Government relative to the sugar of Cuba ?
Sir R. PEEL said that a further correspondence had
taken place, which he would take care should be laid
before the buss previous to any discussion taking
place.
Mr. WomuousE gave notice of his intention, on Mon-
day, to move for returns relative to poor-rates.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr.
HurT, said he was not in a condition to lay before the
House the grounds upon which the Judges had decided,
in the case of the Brazilian prisoners, that their case
did not come within the jurisdiction of the laws of this

country.
Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr.
PATTISON, said that, generally speaking, it was in-
tended that the reduction of duties in the tariff should
take place immediately upon the passing of the resolu-
tions to that effect.
The RIGHT HON. BARONET also stated, in answer
to a question from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that he pro-
posed, that after the resolutions had passed and been re-
ported, that the reduction of the duty on corn should
take place immediately.
Sir 11. PEEL, in answer to a question from Sir H. W
BARRON, if any alteration was to be proposed by which
the landed interest in Ireland might have the benefit of
the British market for Irish spirits, said that it was not
intended to make any such alteration.
Mr. WATSON moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the
further repeal of pains and penalties upon Roman
Catholics.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that a Bill similar to that
proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member had been
laid on the table of the House of Lords by the LORD
CHANCELLOR. It was!, therefore, a subject for the con-
sideration of the floe. aril Learned Member whether,
under such circumstances, he would persevere in his
motion.

After some observations from Sir R. Imaus and Sir J.

GRAHAM,
Lord JOHN MANNERS said, if his Hon. Friend per-
severed in bringing in his Bill, he should feel it his duty
to support it, believing that it was not only not beneficial,
but injurious to the Church of England, to retain those
pains and penalties that had been adverted to by the
lion. Baronet the Member for Oxford.
Mr. O'CONNELL deprecated the continuation of a law
that punished virtue and devotional exercises.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it was the duty of the
House to have the law with respect to Roman Catholics
placed upon some reasonable footing, which it certainly
was not at present.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in two
Bills, one to amend the Act 1 and 2 of Vict. 114, and
to remove doubts that have arisen as to the interpreta-
tion of certain clauses in that Act, and also a 811 l
to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of
carrying on merchandise, and of exercising trade in
burghs in Scotland.
Mr. BANKES then moved, pursuant to notice, for
returns of all applications for the stewardship of the
Chiltern Hundreds, which, after a short discussion, was
agreed to.
Mr. CHRISTIE moved for copies of any papers or re-
ports by Mr. CHADWICK and Mr. PARKER on the
subject of bone crushing in union workhouses.
On the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM the motion was
withdrawn.
On the motion of Mr. S. O'BRIEN two new writs were
ordered for Dorsetshire in the room of Lord ASHLEY
and Mr. STURT, who had accepted the office of her
MAJESTY'S Chiltern Hundreds.
The House then adjourned.

Considering the importance of the measures proposed
by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the new tariff, it is really sur-
prising to find such a small amount of opposition to any
one of them throughout the country. They affect a great
variety of classes, and in bygone days would have excited
general consternation: among tradesmen and manufac-
turers, as well as among the proprietors and occupiers of
land; but, with the exception of the party who have
assumed the title of " Protectionists" (though more
properly designated " Monopolists"), and the Spital-
fields weavers, we hear of no opposition to the compre-
hensive scheme. On the contrary, it meets with a
general approbation quite unprecedented on similar
occasions. Take, for instance, the Catholic Relief Bill.
One half of the people were directly hostile to it
and they were supported by nearly all thn clergy
of all denominations, either openly or covertly, by a
great majority of the House of Peers, till necessity,
which has no law, compelled them to yield, and by the
most furious of all religious and political factions—the
whole Orange party in Ireland. The divisions in pub-
lic opinion were equally remarkable during the agitation
of the Reform Bill. The Bishops and the clergy as a
body resisted it to the last, and with an earnestness,
perseverance, and even violence, which pourtrayed fears
that reform would extend to the Church, and finally
bring down the whole fabrio of the Establishment. It
is needless to advert to the feelings which prevailed in

the Upper House—the Peers again fought desperately
and long for their pocket boroughs,endless
placed at their command, and at last saved themselves
sources of corruption which the oladadthe

joined by the timorous and listless part of the com-
munity, who disapproved of the excitement, forming al-
together a most powerful bcdy arrayed against reform.
At present the scene is as different as possible. The ad-
vocates of commercial reform and the repeal of the corn-
laws are more numerous, and as regards their influence
in the
compact
Legislature infinitely more powerful than even that
1 pact phalanx of freemen which triumphantly carried

the great measure in opposition to the Court (always
excepting the King), in opposition to the Peers and '
the clergy, and also to a very tenacious, vigorous, un-
scrupulous, and numerous class—those, namely, who ob-
tain their livelihood by abuses and by the plunder of the
community. The clergy, on this occasion, to their un-
speakable honour, and we firmly believe, also, consistently
with their best interests, have stood entirely aloof from
the agitation. Such conduct deserves every praise—it
exhibits a great moral principle, of high value in a body
for whom popular respect is of so much importance, both
in a personal and religious view ; and as they have as
much interest in high prices as the landlords, it exhibits
a noble contrast to the noisy and frantic exhibitions,
and to the selfish claims of rich Peers and commoners.
who would rob the people that they may increase their
wealth, and raise a dangerous commotion in the country
for the most contemptible, sordid, and grovelling mo-
tives. But there is another point of view in the scene which
gives additional weight to the Minister's plans, and opens
up the brightest prospects. Several of the most respect-
able Members in the Commons belonging to the Conser-
vative party, and totally unconnected with theG overnrnent
cordially approve of the measures, and in order to pre-
serve a pure conscience and show their independence,
have resigned, or offered to resign, their seats into the
hands of their constituents. Among these we may men-
tion Lord ASHLEY, the Hen. W. H. DAwrear, the Hon.
F. CHARTERIS, tied Mr. H. C. STURT, independent of
many others who do not consider electors entitled to
such deference, and who will vote with the Minister.
The resumption of office too by the whole of the EBEL
Cabinet, except one member, is a significant omen. Sir
THOMAS FREMANTLE, in his excellent address to the
electors of Buckingham, says :—" Sir R. PEEL (After the
failure of Lurd JOHN RUSSELL) felt it his duty to his
SOVEREIGN to resume the functions of First Minister of
the Crown ; all the members of his former Cabinet,
with one exception, concurred in that decision, and have
determined to support the measures which have been an-
nounced to the House of Commons for the abolition
of protecting duties on articles of foreign produce and
manufacture." Need we refer as a further
proof, and one which should make the House of Peers
pause in its rancorous opposition to the Government—
namely, to the unanimity which prevails on the question
at meetings in Chambers of Commerce, and in
almost every borough, town, and city, in Great

Britain? The sentiments of our Gracious SOVIII4EIGN
are well known. The presence of the Royal Consort
in the House of Commons when the Minister disclosed
his plans was significant ; and these symptoms ought
not to be without their effect on the restive Peers, who
can ill afford to contend agaiutt both Crown and people.
The beat wish of their friends is, that they may adopt a
prudent and a generous course.

So conspicuous are the exigencies of the Irish people
at this present moment, that Parliament for once is
neither tardy in its expressions of sympathy, or in its
endeavours to afford somo substantial evidence of the
existence of that sympathy. From the first Report of
the Select Committee on Railways—which report was
yesterday hid before both Houses—this anxiety to meet
the advances of destitution in that unfortunate country

was most apparent. On various accounts the sugges-
tions embodied in that report are happily-timed and
judicious. The Committee proposes that a portion of
the railway Bills which have accumulated so wonder-
fully during the recess, be common :ed in the Upper
House "fur the purpose of facilitating the dispatch of
railway business during this session." The advantages
which must necessarily accrue from such an arrangement
are too obvious to require any particular exposition.
With reference to the sccond proposal, namely, that
" this House will not insist on their pritilege with
regard to the clauses fixing and regulating rates and
tolls in such Bills," a political hyper-critic might pos-
sibly object that it was an unnecesstzry abandonment of
privilege ; but, as the Commons would still retain in their
possession the power of interference, no danger could
retult from such a nominal concession. Besides, in
junctures of such dire necessity as the present, when it
is not only desirable, but absolutely incumbent upon
the Legislature to make some immediate and de-
cisive movement, or hazard the existence of four mil-

lions of the people, entrusted to their protection,
it would be Inc st
,baneful, to daily over the
advisability of a measure through trepidation at
some imaginary evil of this nature. Granting,
therefore, that the peculiar and complicated
position in which the legislators are now placed would
palliate an act of concession greater even than
the one particularised, we turn with extreme:
gratification to the sentrnce which follows:—" The
Select Committee considers that with a view of
affording early and increased means (f cmploymert in
Ireland, it is expedient to give facilities for the early
consideration of Irish Railway Bills," and that with this
intention such Bills " should, in the present session,
commence in the House of Lords." Not only does this
proposition originate in sentiments of large-hearted and
open-handed condolence with the Irish multitude during

the woes and the pangs of their present privations, but
it arises also from a con►iction that grants of 50,0001.
for the advancement of public works, can never retard
the dark and indomitable on-stridings of famine, how-
ever much such grants may appear to bo munificent in the
eyes of an over-economist. To say that such an enact-
ment alone would dispel the miseries which now encum-
ber Ireland would exceed the limits of accuracy, but to
say that, as the section of an extensive plan for the ame-
lioration of such national destitution, the present is a
wise and sagacious suggestion, would be an opinion in
accordance with the rational judgment of every man
of ordinary perception. By the speedy fulfilment of these
intentions on the part of Government, the labourer
whether in Meath, or in Drogoda, or in Kildare, would
be enabled to obtain employment, and that likewise at an
increased mount of wages, according to the competi-
tion for labourers, without interfering with the distri-
bution of the public works' loan, which might be appro-
priated merely to such districts as were labouring under
any remarkable disadvantages. Yesterday, more-
over, Lord CLANCARTY brought this same question of
Irish penury and Irish starvation before the Peers, im-
pressing most forcibly upon their Lordships the necessity
for seine strenuous efforts in behalf of that afflicted
people. Nor did the Noble Earl restrict his importuni-
, tie:, for the attention of the House to a mere alimentary

interposition ; he extended his demand for a Le-
gielative interference to an increase of facilities
fur obtaining medical relief. It is not our
intention to enter at this moment upon the consideration
of the character of Lord CLANCARTY'S proposed amend-
ments ; we merely make this allusion to the circumstances
in corroboration of our remark, that Parliament is not
indifferent to the demands for assistance in our sister
island—demands which are each day becoming more
and more importunate. In affording a greater facility
for adequately satisfying these demands, we conceive
that the Select Committee have performed their duty
with promptitude and discrimination. By this first re-
port they have already considerably lessened the amount
of their responsibility. Nor do we regard the arrange..
ment as at all likely to moderate the scrutiny with which
railway matters should be conned; it will, on the con-
trary, by this just distribution of a labour so
extremely onerous, enable the different Ccmmittees to
investigate each Bill with increased caution and in-
creased minuteness, because with increased time A more
laudable or more propitious commencement to their com-
mercial campaign could scarcely have been made by a
body so hazardously placed as was the Select Committee.
They have indeed grasped the bull by the horns, and
tethered him down beyond escape. Inasmuch as they
have done this, the railway speculators, the Irish people,
and the public at large, will, to a great measure, be satis-
fied ; their expectations will be partially fulfilled, and
their various cravings will be appeased.

Tim accounts from Madrid are to the 29th ult. The
Chamber of Deputies had brought the discussion on
the Address to a close, and on that day it was read and
approved, and a Commission appointed to, lay it
before the QUEEN. Copies of treaties, recently concluded
with Chili, Portugal, and Morocco, were presented by the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. He declined to give any
satisfactory explanation respecting them ; the Opposition
contended that explanation was necessary, upon which a
division took place, when Ministers had a majority of 90
against 40. The Chamber then adjourned till the 31st.
The Funds are again lower, the Three per Cents. having
closed on the 29th at 32k, and the Fives at 2n, both at
sixty days.

The Opposition in the French Chamber has not, for
several sessions, exhibited such weakness as at present.
They hav moved several amendments calculated to
catch popularity and excite hostility to tho Government,
but in every instance they have completely failed and
been defeated by large majorities. The last defeat—
that on the right of seareh question—is the greatest of
all. An amendment was moved by M. BILLAULT, con-
demning the late treaty between England and France
for the suppression of the slave trade, and embodied in
these words:—" That the wish of the Chamber would
have been fulfilled, if, whilst protecting the rights of
humanity, the convention had more surely placed out of
the reach of attack the national flag." BILLAULT was

The other intelligence in the papers is of little in-
terest. A letter from Otaheite of the 10th Sept., in the
National, states that "Admiral HAMELIN and Admiral
SEYMOUR having appointed commissioners to re gulate
the indemnity due to Mr. PRITCHARD, it has been de-
cided that the English Minister was entitled to a thou-
sand and odd piastres. Admiral SET3IOUR refused to
abide by this decision, and the negotiations were broken
off. The question is to be submitted to the Governments
of England and France. Admiral SEYMOUR, adds the
letter, consented to salute the flag of the Protectorate,
but refused to salute that of France." We attach no
credit to these statements. We subjoin some miscel-
laneous paragraphs.
The committee charged to examine the Bill relating to
internal navigation met on Tuesday. The Ministry de-
mands for the necessary works a sum of 63 millions,
which, added to the expenses already incurred, raises
the total amount to 289 millions, being upwards of 100
millions more than was calculated on in 1821. The commit-
tee, alarmed at this augmentation, has thought it "right,
whilst adhering to the Ministerial plan, to recommend the
Government, and particularly the Poets-et-Chaussees, to em-
ploy for the future more foresight in their estimates, and
more order in the employment of the funds. This is the
purport of the report presented by the Marquis de Dalmatie
in the name of the committee.
The Cmstitutionnfl mentions a report that the- native
cavalry of Algeria, which has just been dissolved, is to be re-
established for the next campaign on a new basis.
The Government of Tuscany has delivered up to that of
Rome i'd. Renzi, one of the leaders in the rebellion of Rimini,
who had taken refuge in Tuscany. A letter from Florence,
in the Debate, gives the following particulars :—M. Renzi
had returned to Florence from Marseilles, and through M.
Salvaguoli, an eminent advocate of Florence, petitioned the
Grand Duke for leave to reside within his dominions. The
petition was referred to the Supreme Council, which at once
decided against the extradition. But the Austrian Minister
at the Grand Duchy and the Apostolical Nuncio having in-
sisted upon it, the question was referred to the Council of
Ministers, the majority of whom were of opinion that the
' Government was bound by treaty to give up M. Renzi, and,
consequently, he was delivered into the hands of the Papal
authorities in the night of the 23d ult.
The Swedish Government, in order to put a stop to the
increasing progress of drunkenness in Norway, has appointed
a missionary for each of the four provinces of that kingdom,
to travel through them preaching forbearance from strong
liquors, and promoting the establishment and extension of
temperance societies. Compensation is again offered to all
such distillers as shall resign their licenses for making brandy
and entirely relinquish their business.

There are no arrivals to day from any quarter.
The discount market becomes easier now the last day of
payment for the new railway companies has arrived, and there
is every hope that ere long people will be so far relieved, as to
wonder at their weakness in being frightened into the belief
that a fearful crash must ensue. From the first moment
when the Railway Companies, began to make their lodg-
ments with the Accountant-General, up to the present
time, there has been an abundance of idle capital in the City,
and which, no doubt, would have been liberally, though ju-
diciously, loaned out upon first-rate security, such as has,
within the last week or two, been peremptorily refused
everywhere except at the Bank of England, but
for the systematic exertions of those who have been
so indiscreet or so designing as to foster the uneasiness. The
ram cashed up for deposit with the Accountant-General, is
between 9,000,000'. and 10,000,0001. just one-third of the
original estimate, by that oracular organ, the Times-scarcely
one guess or assertion of which paper has proved correct.
That the whole amount deposited will be re-invested in
stock is not at all probable, because of the
decided advance in prices now, and the fall which
must occur hereafter, when sales become necessary. The
Bank of England will retain the amount not invested in
stock, say at least five millions, and the public will receive
the other half in return for the stock and Exchequer-bills
they supply to the projected Companies. For some months a
good part of this five millions will remain with the
public, feeding the usual channels of trade, and
before the Companies again become sellers, we may
hope for such a restoration of confidence, and such a weed-
ing of the Share Market as will relieve any pressure arising
from the stock being thrown on the market.
The Stock 3larket is very animated, and the purchases by
the Chancery broker are kept p, though it appears that he has

There is more activity in the Foreign Market, and the
