AQRICULTURAL COLLEGE.—The College about to
be opened at Leopardstown,:near Dublin, is situated on the
south of the city, and five miles distant from the Post-
office. The farm consists of 200 Irish acres of land of
medium quality. The terms for pupils in the Agricul-
tural School will be 151. per annum, for which they will
receive a suitable education : they will be engaged one
half of each day at farm work, under the superintendence
of the best practical and scientific Agriculturist that can
be obtained, and during the other half in the school over
which a teacher of like ability will preside. It is pro-
posed also as soon as pupils shall be obtained, to connect
with the Agricultural College a school for the education
of the sons of the gentry in classics, and all the branches
usually taught in first-rate schools, for which there is
ample accommodation.—Southern Reporter.
TIIE FOGS ON TIIE RlVER.—During the last two
days London has been visited by fogs thicker and darker
than we usually find them at this early period of autumn.
Some accidents have, in consequence, occurred to the
steam-boats on the river, which occasioned much annoy-
ance and considerable alarm among the passengers. One
of the boats belonging to the Diamond Company, the
Gem, was run into on Wednesday morning, by the
Waterman, No. 4. Her larboard paddle-box was carried
away, and the wheel so damaged that she was unable to
proceed on her voyage. There were nearly 300 persons
on board, and it was most providential that no one
chanced to be in the cabins or closets attached to the
paddle-box at the moment of the accident. The vessel
was obliged to bring up alongside the Tender, off the
Tower, where she remained until the next boat belong-
ing to the same company, the Ruby, came up, which took
on her passengers. At the time of this occurrence the
t s
Gem was ping down at the rate aboutofu i

certainly at a rate unsafe, considering the state of the
atmosphere. The Ruby had scarcely proceeded a mile
and a half, when she met the Topaz, another vessel be-
longing to the same company, which had sufThred from a
w
precisely similar accident. She had also lost her tar-
board paddle-box, but her heel not
having suffered
much damage she was able to reach her destination. She
afterwards returned to Gravesend, and came back with-
out any repairs having been effected, to the great alarm
and indignation of many of the passengers, who, as the
captain was careful to keep the larboard side of his vessel
off the shore, knew nothing of her condition until they
were booked on board.
TIIE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, " ARTHUR
ARUNDEL," BY TILE AUTHOR OF "BBAMBLETYE HOUSE."
—" If the author of these volumes," observes the Globe,
" were not already known, and his literary reputation
established in public favour, as the legitimate result of
repeated success, this tale of the English Revolution
would at onoe place him high above all danger of beine-
to fortune and to lame unknown.' Even with the;
triumphs of former works, throwing a halo around his
name, and producing an anticipation in the reader's mind
of powerful interest in the perusal of Horace Smith's
new work,' there is no sense of disappointment. The
interest is kept up from the first page of the £rst volume
to the concluding paragraph of the last. When the
time-beguiling process of perusal is completed, the act of
recalling the well-wrought. up incidents and the finely.,
portrayed characters of the narrative, opens up fresh
fountains of delight, and impresses the mind with what
has been as gratifying to the taste, as it was interesting
to the feelings of the reader during the perusal."

EARLY RISING.—FORCE OF ROYAL EXAIIPLE.—
Much ridicule had been cast upon our good city, in con
sequence of our authorities having been "caught nap-
ping' on the occasion of the Queen's visit here tw(
• years ago. A movement, however, has begun. whici
TAW, to far to rescue our city from this unhappy rt--

Nevi:• . have engaged a piper to perform a similar
netivio fct that neighbourhood. The piper commenced
.iii4toy,yesterday, and is to continue to serenade the
tiil farther notice every morning between
yyea7lad eight o'clock. At'angements, we hear, arc

square, and we hope that other parts of the town will
speedily follow s,iLis salutary example.--Scotsman.

plish, by the execution of one project, the attain-
ment of objects that must give incalculable
development to the agricultural and mineral
wealth, and the labour and capital employed on its
production, of perhaps the richest strip of territory in
South Britain. But it will, furthermore, achieve a
design often meditated by those who have directed the
councils of this empire, as a purpose of the very
highest national importance, but as often aban-
doned on account of its colossal character
(while railroad communications were yet un-
thought of), and the overwhelming expenses
that must have then attended its execution.
It will, so to speak, concentrate three of the most
important maritime stations of our naval and com-
mercial greatness. It will connect, in short, the
mighty outwork of our naval strength at Plymouth,
with Bristol (whose pristine rank and consequence
among the cities of Great Britain it will speedily
restore), and with Falmouth, which wanted but this
condition, now to be supplied, of a railroad connected
with a harbour, "to make it," in the recorded
opinion of the Government Commission of 1840,
" the most eligible packet station in the empire."
In these times such an approximation of scattered
and remote posts is of vital moment to every plan of
a Government which may desire to be enabled, on the
exigency arising, to avail themselves in the promptest
manner of all or any of the resources placed by the
country at their disposal. Now, invaluable as this
approximation may be (especially considering the
prospective facilities which would arise by means of
other extensive lines of existing railway, and the
construction of lateral branches where they may
be found necessary, for continuing it to Ports-
mouth and even to Chatham, those other strong-
holds of our naval power), perhaps in a commercial
point of view the plan of the Cornwall Railway has
still higher recommendations. It will provide
southern ports for the investments of the northern
districts. It will "bring Falmouth within eleven
hours of London, and fourteen of Liverpool and Man-
chester." It will also run " through the richest and
most densely peopled mining, commercial, and agri-
cultural district of Cornwall." It has, in short, so
many, and such peculiar advantages, that we canno
find room for an enumeration that would but do in•
justice to the clear and unexaggerated statement o
the advertisement.

The " Direct Northern Railway from London to
York" is another of the new lines] now before the
public ; and for which, if the much larger capital
of 4,000,0001. be required, it must be owned that the
probable return of some 10 per cent. is suggested,
on calculations that seem to merit the praise of being
made on the most fair, reasonable, and undistorted
data. Among other not less prominent recommenda-
tions assigned in a cleverly drawn advertisement, we
suppose that the following advantages of this line will
require no further commentary at our hands :
" The distance by it between London and York will
be 180 miles, or 20 miles shorter/ than any other pro-
posed line. It will reduce by 39 miles the present dis-
tance between London and York, by the same distance
bring Newcastle and Edinburgh nearer to the metro-
polis, and economise the distance between London and
Hull by no less than 43 miles. It will form the nearest
route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, Bradford, Hudders.
field, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield. It opens an
easy communication between Norfolk and Suffolk, and
the west and north of England."

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1544.

(in BEAUMONT'S single case, to more than 400,000/.
Add to this 400,0001. the yet utterly unascertained
robberies daily effected by conspiracy, bribery, and
perjury on our revenue of Customs, and you have
an aggregate which shows that, were those branches
of the public service in which such stupenduous losses
have been incurred, better organised and more vigi-
lantly superintended, there would he no reason—and
consequently no excuse—for the abomination of Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S property-tax. The Premier would
find his Customs and his Excise increasing at a ratio
that would soon balance, at the least, the expenditure
by the income of each year ; and this equation, owing
to the enormous increase of trade consequent on the
removal of his pernicious property-tax " screw,"
would be speedily enlarged to a surplus revenue;
which would enable his Chancellor of the Exchequer
to carry on his reductions of last year, on the Three-
and-a-Half Per Cents., to a proportion of our national
debt, liable to a similar conversion, that should be, in
proportion, equivalent to that on which the Dutch
Government has acted in dealing with the debt of
Holland.

Madrid papers of the 20th have been received, bu
they bring no news.

On the Bourse the Three per Cents. were done at
27k I for cash, and 274 at 60 days ; the Five per
Cents. at 64f at 60 days; and the Coupons at 254 at
60 days.

r The Paris papers are entirely destitute of news,
and the leading articles in most of them possess not
the slightest interest. Having no domestic intelli-
gence of importance to occupy their columns, the
editors have recourse to Foreign States. The Jour-
nal deg Debats gives statistical details of the United
States. The Constitutionnel adverts to the late strike
among the operatives in Silesia, and the Presse fills
up nearly two columns with disquisitions on the pre-
sent condition and future prospects of Texas.
In the Marseilles and Algiers papers we find some
later intelligence from Africa, which though not of
great importance will be read with interest. " The
battle of Isly,' says the Algerie, "was fought on the
14th, the bombardment of Mogadore took place on
the 15th, and it was in the night of the 14th, between
those two victories, that the Princess DE JOINVILLR was
delivered of a daughter. Marshal BUGBAUD, struck
with this coincidence in the dates, asked the Prince,
in the name of the army of Algeria, to add the name
VICTORIA to those already given to the new-born
infant. The squadron has expressed the same wish.
The KING will, no doubt, consent to unite the recol-
lection of the birth of his granddaughter with the
double souvenir of Isly and Mogadore." The same
journal publishes the following letter from the KING
to the Prince DE JoiNvii.Ln, which, by the Prince's
orders was :posted on all the vessels of the
squadron :

flames. By noon 200 houses of the town were burnt
down, and a third of the fine fetiche cocoa nut trees, of
which the natives were so proud. The wind fell just as
the flames were on the point of eviumunizating with the
quarter where King Peter resides. Several natives were
killed and wounded in the attack, but only one of the
assailants was injured, by receiving a ball in the cheek.
Lieut. Jane° states that in the evening he informed
King Peter that he should give him a month to pay the
promised indemnities, and that if he did not comply his
ruin was certain."
The Manheim Gazelle has the following from
Milan of the 16th :

" We learn from Trieste that the idea of an Italian
Zollverein has been formed, and will soon become an offi •
cial question. Several states of Italy, including Tuscany,
are said to be in favour of a customs' union with Lom-
bardy and Elyria, under the protection of Austria. It
is hoped that this combination will not only improve
commerce, but at the same time paralyse certain foreign
influences. Negotiations have been opened relative to
the navigation of the Po, and other commercial relations
with Sardinia, Naples, and Modena. Baron Kubeck has
the direction of these negotiations, while Prince Metter-

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE RE
GISTRATION.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before C. D. MOTLAN, Esq.)
The Revising Barrister sat in the Paddington Vestry-
room this morning to revise the list of voters for that
parish.
Mr. Allen appeared for the Liberals, Mr. Greenwood
for the Conservatives.
The following is a statement of the number of claims
and objections made by the Reformers and Conservatives
in this district :

Reformers. Conservatives. Total.
Claims
Objections
On Mr. Moylan taking his seat,
Mr. Brown, one of the overseers, said he wished
o explain the cause of an omission in the list of
claims and objections. He had been absent from
England during nearly the whole of the month
of August. On leaving London, he directed
that all communications relating to parochial matters
were to be handed to the vestry-clerk. This was done
with every communication except one, and that was the
claims and objections made by Mr. Allen. That gen-
tleman enclosed them in a sealed envelope, and his (Mr.
Brown's) servant, thinking that it was a private com-
munication, did not forward it to the vestry-cleric, but
kept it until his return to town on the 30th of August,
when it was impossible to get the list printed and placed
on the church doors within the time prescribed by the
Act of Parliament. He had stated to Mr. Allen the
cause of this unfortunate omission, and had expressed
his willingness to do all in his power to rectify it if it
was possible to do so in a legal manner.
Mr. Allen said he had invariably followed that practice.
He had done so to prevent them from being mislaid or
lost, and personally delivered the letter containing them
at Mr. Brown's house.
Mr. Brown frankly admitted the service.
The REVISING BARRISTER doubted whether the Act
gave him power to interfere. He was empowered, by the
26th section to deal with a list which had been published
in some way, and whether correct or incorrect, but not
with one that had not been published at all.
Mr. Allen said it was hard that claimants who had
complied with the Act of Parliament should suffer from
the neglect of the overseer.
The REVISING BARRISTER said the question was
whether he could revise an unpublished list.
Mr. Allen said the mistake might have been rectified
on the return of the overseer to town.
Mr. Brown admitted that he might have written the
list, but it could not have been printed within the time
required by the Act.
The REVISING BARRISTER said, in that case Mr,
Brown ought to have sent in a written list. The Act im-
posed heavy penalties on overseers for neglecting to re-
turn lists, notices of which were served upon them, to
the Town Clerk. He could only deal with the
claims as those of persons omitted from the published
lists by the overseer.
Mr. Brown said the mistake would not have occurred
if the claims and objections had not been enclosed in an
envelope. Whon he first saw the envelope, he though
it contained a circular from some charitable institution
or from the Home-office, requiring some ridiculous re•
turn

" September 11.
" The King, on hearing of the success obtained under
,ie walls of Tangiers and Mogadore, has been pleased to
instruct the Rear-Admiral in command of the squadron
to transmit to it a mark of his satisfaction.
" The Rear-Admiral is happy to have it in his power
to fulfil that duty, and hastens to place on the order of
the day, the following letter written by his Majesty:—
" 6 T/1E KING TO TER PRINCE DE JOINVILLE.
" Neuilly, Tharsday, Aug. 29.
"' My dear and most beloved Son,—l thank God for
having preserved you amidst the dangers you se nobly
braved, and for permitting that I address through you
to the squadron under your command my personal con-
gratulations and the expression of the national gratitude
for the new laurels which it has added to our flag-
" In congratulating our brave seamen for having
displayed that French valour which never fails to re-
spond to the appeal of the country, I take pride to my-
self that you restrained their ardour until the moment
when the justice of our cause imposed upon us the duty
to hare recourse to arms.
"' I saw with delight the simultaneous efforts of our
navy and army crowned with such brilliant success, and
it is particularly grateful to me that my son should have
led our seamen to victory.
"' I embrace you, my dear son, with all the effusion
of my heart. " LOUIS PHILIPPE.
" F. D'ORLEANS,
" Rear-Admiral commanding."
The subjoined particulars relative to the conclusion
of the treaty between France and Morocco are taken
from the Algerie :
" The moment the signal agreed to had been hoisted
on the Neapolitan Consular-house, the two negotiators
(Messrs. Glucksberg and de Nyon), accompanied by two
naval officers, immediately repaired ashore. The Con-
sular body, all the civil and military authorities, and the
troops, attired in their best uniforms, awaited on the
quay the arrival of the French negotiators. Saddle-
horses, held by soldiers of the Emperor, had been pre-
pared for them. A salute of eleven guns was fired on
their landing. The cortege haring commenced its march,
proceeded slowly through the narrow streets, which were
thronged with a dense crowd. On reaching the palace
of the Governor, the Envoys of France directed their
course between a double line of Moorish soldiers, towards
in a spacious hall,

ment ; an immense white turban and yellow babouches
completed his costume. On the approach of our repre-
sentatives tho niche rose and shook them kindly by the
hand. The presentation and compliments lasted a long
time ; the great question, that of the treaty, was then
entered upon. A secretary of the Pacha, Si Mohammed-
ben-Zarouch, read it out, and, after a few remarks from
Sidi-bou•Sellarn, three copies of that document were
signed ; a fourth, drawn up in the Arabian language,
was to be signed on the following day. Immediately

the island. The vessels lying before Mogadore,
and those dispatched thither by the Prince on the Bth,
were to receive on board the troops and materiel left on
the island. In the night of the 10th the Castor sailed
for Cadiz, to deliver to our Consul the telegraphic dis-
patch published in the Messager of the 16th instant. On
the 11th the Espadon arrived at Tangiers from Cadiz,
with dispatches for the Prince, at the moment when the
Cuvier was leaving for Mogadore. On the 12th the
Espadon, the Montezuma, and the SufFren left Tangiers
for Cadiz, and the Egerie sailed for Toulon with the
wounded and sick. The Inflexible ship of the line re-
mained alone before Tangiers. Whilst we were in the
roads, the English steamer Hecla was constantly plying
between Gibraltar and Tangiers. She was dispatched
for England during the night of the 11th. The Albion
replaced at Tangiers the English ship Formidable on the
12th, and was accompanied by the corvette Scout."
The Siecle says, "the Prince 1)11 JOINVILLE, while
the English were arranging our affairs, thought that
he was invested with a mission to stipulate for
France. He had agreed with the Pacha of TANGIERS
on the basis of a treaty by which the Emperor of

The balance was to be remitted on the day on which
AEI)-EL-Icepez should be surrendered to the French.
The PACHA had already forwarded these terms to the
EMPEROR, and the acceptance of which he considered
he might guarantee, when the Duke DB GLUCKS-.
BERG and M. DE NYON, or rather Mr. BuLwza, sub-
stituted for the Parriciea treaty the miserable conven-
tion announced in Paris by the cannon of the In-
valides." It is pitiful in these Opposition journals
thus constantly to distort facts when they allude to
England.

Mr. Allen thought he could hardly say that as a Con-
servative.—(A laugh.)
As the parties who claim-ed did not appear, and as
their qualifications were not made out, their claims were
not entertained.
Sergeant Adams' name was objected to by the Liberals
on the ground that he was the landlord, but not the oc-
cupier of the house, which he let furnished. His name
had been struck out of the list last year and the year
before, and it was again struck out.
The names of several persons who were in the service
of the Government, and others who were not duly quali-
fied from various causes, were struck off the list.

THE HOXTON SOCIAL FRIEND?.--On Thursday
evening last the second quarterly supper of this popular
Harmonic Society took place at the Monmouth Arms
Tavern, Singleton-street, Hoxton, on which occasion a
numerous party of respectable gentlemen partook of a
substantial entertainment, which reflected great credit
on Mr. Shannon, the respected host. Messrs. S. W.
Burgess and J. Smith officiated as chairman and depOty,
and were supported by Messrs. Pickering, Wynne, Cad-
wallader, Murphy, Roberts, Marnham, and several other
I worthy members of the Society. After the healths of
" The Queen," "Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal
Family," had been drank with much applause, the Chair-
man proposed " Success to the Hoxton Social Friends,"
which was received with great cheering. The healths of
the Chairman, Deputy, Mr. Shannon, Messrs. Lenard
and Roberts, were respectively responded to with great
enthusiasm. Messrs. Davis, Hooker, and Davis, highly
entertained the company with several glees, as did Mr.
Chapman by his comic recitations. The Chairman, in
an appropriate speech, at a late period of the evening,
gave as a toast " Old England," when the meeting
broke up.
THE FAXES ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY.--We alluded last week to the intended re-
duction of fares on the London and Birmingham Rail-
way. We now find that the reduction takes effect on
and after Tuesday next. The fares of the snail trains
are reduced from 325. 6d. to 305.; by the ordinary first
class, from 303. to 275.; and by the second class, from
20s. to 18s.; in addition to which the third-class fare,
till now 14s. 6d., is brought down to Id. per mile, or
9s. sd. for the entire distance. On all these fares, except
the third class, there is a further reduction of one-third
by taking return tickets for the same day. There are
likewise considerable advantages in respect of the trans-
mission of carriages now first offered.—Railway Record.
ERRATUM.—In the verses on " The Merchants of
Old England," which appeared in The Sun yesterday,
for " Mysure" read "Mysore ;" and, for " Mississippe, '
" Mississippi."
FlRES.—Yesterday morning, shortly before four
o'cloc.c, a fire was discovered in the lead works belong-
ing to Messrs. Algerson, of the Belvidere-road, Lam.
beth. Several engines of the brigade, with the West of
England one, promptly attended, but the fire was ex-
tinguished by the aid of the firemen and police without
calling the engines into operation. Fortunately the
damage done is trifling. About the same hour a fire
broke out in a private house in the St. George's-road,
Southwark, but it was quickly got out, and before much
damage was done.

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
►apers : _

Much disappointment has been experienced among
the mercantile interest at the vague tenor of the advices
received from the Brazils. At the same time we believe
that there is little doubt but that the information we
have before mentioned will turn out to be correct, and
that a favourable treaty trill be concluded with the
Brazilian Government. So satisfied are many of the
merchants, that such will be the case, that they
have commenced fresh speculation in goods suitable for
the Brazilian markets. There are large supplies of Bri-
tish goods now lying on hand, and should the informa-
tion we have received prove correct, there is not a doubt
entertained but that within a very short period after the
new treaty comes into effect, almost all will be cleared off,
and a fresh impetus begiven to our trade by the concessions
made on both sides upon the basis of which the com-
merce between the two countries will hereafter be
carried on.
There is not a single arrival from the colonies to-day.
The weekly return of the Issue and Banking Depart •
men is of the Bank of England afford little matter of con-
e:lent to-day. In the notes issued there is a slight in-
crease, as also in gold coin and bullion. The rest is also a
shade higher. The public deposits have increased about
875,000/. ; other deposits about 36,000/. ; whilst seven
days' bills show a decrease from 1,007,6701. to 972,959/.
The other items comprised in this fresh mode of deline-
ating the Bank's accounts vary but little from the
statement of last week.
It is stated that the Committee of Spanish American
Bondholders have postponed till next week the con-
sideration of the propositions of New Granada, which
were, to recognise 50 per cent. of the Colombian loans
as her debt, and to issue .new stock to that amount, to
bear interest at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, with
an annual increase of per cent. until it reaches 6 per
cent. For the arrears of interest now due and accruing
till that time, new stock to be issued for cent.
per cent. of the principal, but these not to bear interest
for sixteen yoars, when they would commence at one per

they reach 3 per cent. The interests to be paid in to-

Mr. Sheriff MuscaovE said that on his behalf—foril:

Mr. Sheriff Moox came forward,' amid a storm of,
mingled cheers and hisses. Some degree of silence'
having having been obtained, the lion. Gentleman said that
worthy colleague had taken from him (Mr. Sheriffllo( 4I)

honour they had conferred upon him. They had both
endeavoured to do their duty. He begged to retufn

Mr. D. W. WIRE, who rose to propose a
vote of

unable to obtain a hearing. He said that Le was about
to perform a very pleasing duty, and one which
he was Sure, if they would but hear
would be received with unanimous approbation.
It was to move a vote of thanks to the Right Hon- the
Lord Mayor, for his conduct in the chair. He had sewn

honourable gentlemen who had passed through that high
honourable office, but not one that had surpassed in dig-

held that office, and none had he ever seen who more de-
served the thanksl of his fellow-citizens.—(Tremendous'
confusion ensued, during which the Learned Gentle
man endeavoured to proceed, but was unable to male

Mr. Alderman HUNTER trusted that the Livery would

ing notice was, on Thursday last, sent from the Home-
office to the various police-stations in and near the me-
tropolis :—" Whereas, a large portion of the premises
belonging to Mr. Davenes, wholesale poulterer, No. 22,
Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell, have been destroyed by

suspicion that the fire bus been occasioned by some vile
incendiary, a reward of 1001. will be paid by her Ma-
jesty's Government to any person who will give such in-
formation as shall lead to the apprehension and convic-
tion of the offender or offenders. A further reward of
1001. will be paid by Mr. Davenes for such information
as shall lead to the same result. The Secretary of
State for the Home Department will likewise advise the
grant of her:Majesty's most gracious pardon to any ac-
complice, not being the actual person who set fire to the
premises on either occasion, for such information as
shall lead to similar results."

and Dover, the Manchester Companies, North Midland,
and Eastern Counties, for the conveyance of the horses
of field and staff officers of infantry when proceeding by
route with regiments ; and likewise for the conveyance
of sick horses of cavalry regiments, at 4d. per mile each
horse, for any distance not exceeding 50 miles ; between
50 and 100 miles, 3fd. ; and exceeding 100 miles, 3d.
each horse.—Railway Record.
PRODUCTION OF ICI3 IN A RED..ITOT CRUCIBLE.--
Place a platina crucible over a spirit lamp, and keep it
at a red heat ; pour in some sulphurous acid, which,
though the most volatile of bodies at a common tempe-
rature, will be found to become completely fixed in the
hot crucible, and not a drop evaporates—being sur-
rounded by an atmosphere of its own, it does not in fact
touch the sides. A few drops of water are now intro-
duced,when the acid immediately coming in contact with
the heated sides of the crucible, flies off in sulphurous
acid vapour, and so rapid is its progress, that the caloric
of the water passes off with it, which falls a lump of ice
to the bottom ; by taking advantage of the moment be-
fore it is allowed to remelt, it may be turned out a lump
of ice from a red-hot vessel!—Mining Journal.
The Duchess of Cambridge and the Grand Duchess
of Mecklenburgh Strelitz honoured the Lyceum Theatre
with their`presence last evening.
