coming into competition with any, it communicates
freely with all ; giving them benefit, and receiv-
ing benefit from them in return. To the north it
sends off a branch direct to the Elephant and Castle,
perhaps the most central spot for passengers in the me-
tropolis, by -which means it also comes into profitable
contact with the South London Market, the future
point of attraction for the produce of Kent, Surrey,
,Sussexf and Hants, and situated in a district, the popu-
lation of which hzs increased within the last fifty yeccs
from 40,000 to 400,000. -

This line will also afford great accommodation to
the passengers who may be landed at the new pier at
Deptford, and who are proceeding to the west of
London ; while a considerable source of revenue is
thus opened to the proprietors. Nor is it to be over-
looked, that this Railway, communicating with the
Southampton, and that with Portsmouth, is likely
to be made the Government channel cf communica-
tion from the one Dockyard to the other.

It may also be remarked that the expense attending
this undertaking must be moderate, when compared
with most others of a similar kind, as the bank of the
Canal forms the foundation of the Railway. The level
is perfect ; there is no tunnelling and no embankment
required, and out of the four and a half miles of entire
extent of the Canal, three arc already completed.

We have entered more into detail than we are ac-
customed to do in cases of this kind, or than we should
have done in this instance, had we not observed an
attempt, on the part of a Morning Contemporary, to
:create a prejudice against an undertaking which, both
for its intrinsic merits and the high respectability of
its promoters, is justly entitled to public consideration.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
.;Monday. They bring no intelligence of the slightest
moment from any quarter. All is speculation and
'street-rumour. With respect to Spain, it is impos-
Sible to conceive things more opposed to each other
than the reports of the late engagements of the 27th
,and 28th are contradictory. Every journal has its
own version of, the account, differing in all but the
date from every other. The song of triumph
chaunted before SAUL and DAVID, after the de-
feat of the Philistines, was not more expressive of joy
and mutual congratulation, than the language held by
the Carlist journalists respecting the massacre of Con-
DOVA'S army at Salvatierra ; while the QUEEN'S advo-
cates of the French Press uplift their voices in strains
!no less joyful on the defeat of the Carlists by the in-
vincible CHRISTINOS, under the command of the same
General. After all the affair is, as we before stated,
• `likely to turn out of little consequence. Battles in
these days differ greatly from battles some eighteen or
twenty years ago. We haVe quite as much smoke and
noise now as then—with this difference, that in more
modern warfare with the disappearance of the smoke
disappear all traces of the slain, as well as all the ad-
vantages of victory.

We copy the following from a Morning Contetn-
porarv, without vouching for its correctness :
" FALMOUTH, Nov. 9.—The sloop Elizabeth arrived
here last evening from Bilboa she left thence on the Ist
Nov., and brings the intelligence that on the day previous
the whole of the British legion, under General Evans, left
Bilboa and reached Portugalette, and on the following day
marched thence for Santander, which place it was supposed
they would make their head quarters for the winter. The
precise object in the movement of the auxiliaries had not
transpired. About 5,000 Spanish troops were to remain
at Bilboa. The passengers by the above vessel commu-
nicate nothing relative to any recent battle having taken
place between the opposing armies. • Provisions were in
general plentiful, and the troops represented as being in a
state of good discipline."

The following was written by an officer :
" BILBOA, OCT. 28.—We (the Legion) have as yet
been only engaged in two or three trifling skirmishes, the
most serious of which was on the 30th August, in which a
great botch was made. General Evans is concentrating
most .Of his force in and about this place ; indeed, the
Lancers are alone at Santander. Three days back all the
baggage was ordered to be embarked for Santander, and
the troops were given to understand they were to march on
Vittoria, as to-day, in which case it was intended they
should attack Durango, a strong town between this and
Vittoria, where the enemy are in great force ; but from a
staff officer, who has just called on me, I learn that the
movement is put off for the present, and that 5,000 Spa-
niards, who left here some days since, are marching back ;
the Legion for the last six weeks has been constantly at
drill, and the regiments are daily improving in all their
exercises ; every thing is at this date quiet."
PARIS, Nov. 9.—lt is announced that General Se-
bastiani will set out for London on Thursday next. Messrs.
de Broglie and Guizot were in conference with M. Thiers
during a great part of the morning at the office of the De-
partment of the Interior.
Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, has lived in
a very retired manner for some time past.
TOULON, Nov. 3.—" I told you some days ago that the
Nestor and Triton, which returned from Mahon and had
had the cholera on board, were going to be dismantled im-
mediately. These orders were really given, but they are
now revoked. These two ships of the line are to be made
ready for six months' cruise, and are to put to sea in three
days, that is, on Friday, the 6th inst. Three corvettes, the
Meuse, the Bonite, and the Lybro, accompany them.
The Trident will be substituted for the Duquesne, and the
Galatea for the Victuire.
" Everybody asks why so many vessels are so suddenly
fitted out ? This gives reason to think that some expedi-
tion is shortly to be undertaken. We shall have seven
ships of the line in the Mediterranean—the &Pen, of 100
guns, the Duquesne, of 80, the Nestor, Triton, Scipio,
Ville de Marseilles, and Trident. Besides these, the
Montebello, of 120 guns, is in the road, and the Algesiras
and Tripoli are announced.
" This is certainly a great assemblage of force, which
seems to indicate some serious event. Many persons think
that we intend to take possession of the Balearic Islands,
in order to deprive the squadrons of the United States of all
refuge in the Mediterranean."—Messager, Nov. 9.

Demerara papers received at Liverpool, of the 27th
September, state that the GOVERNOIt continues in-
defatigable 111 dissevering old, and in ,enacting new
laws and regulations, none of which have given satis-
faction to the planters. These papers do not contain
arty other intelligence worth extracting.

The. Duke of Roxburgh, Sir Thomas Brisbane, Mr.
and tit:!..? Trotter; Miss Scott, and about thirty other pas-
sengers, arrived O Manday afternoon by the Monarch,
Captain Bain, from Edinintygli, The Monarch encoun-
tered a very heavy swell and bad weather on Monday
morning, when at the back of the Yarmouth Sands. Her
superiority was confirmed on this occasion over every other
steam vessel on the station.
BRUSSELS, Nov. B.—We learn that the Reg
Canon Dehesselle, Vicar-General of the Diocese of Liege,
is appointed to the Bishopric of Namur. The Journal de
Verviers contains the following article :—" A meeting of
manufacturers and others of this district will be held on
Sunday morning next, the Bth November, at 11 o'clock,
in the Town Hall. At this meeting it will be proposed
to form a Committee, which shall be intrusted not only to
address the Chamber of Representatives respecting the
German Commercial Union, but also to invite others to
petition to the same effect, especially those parts of the
province of Liege which have the same interest as we
have—for instance, Stavelot, the great tanning establish-
ment, which is in a state of complete stagriation, since
its productions can no longer be exported to the fairs of
Brunswick, Frankfort, and Leipsic ; or the Canton of
Berne, which sent to Germany so great a quantity of
agricultural produce. We therefore invite the manufac-
turers of Verviers, Hodiment, &c. &c., to attend this meet-
ing. A Commission is going to be formed at Ghent to
report on the utility of the iron railroad proposed to be
made between that city and the frontiers of Prance."--
