LONDON RAILWAY.
(Provisloltaily Registered.)

EN3INEELL-IN-CillEF—Jollll Braithwaite, Esq.
SOLICITOII.S.—Mi433rs. Russell and Mackenzie.

This Lac will branch from the Greenwich Railway about one
mile cast of London-bridge, and after crossing the Kent-road, will
pas 3 thr.aigh Camberwell and Brixton to Clapham.
From Clapham it is intended to continue the Hue -through Tooting
to Mit,liam ; and power will also be obtained to carry a branch
tram a NMt on the main line between Camberwell and Brixton to
Norwood aid _Dulwich ; and another from Clapham to the South-
Western ltalway. This latter branch will be little more than a mile
lon,r, awl will gice a City terminus to the South-Western Railway,
the i.nportan.:e of which to the public and the shareholders of that
line can scarcely be.exaggerated.
Thee who are acquainted with the country to be traversed by this
railway witiluow, and a glance at the map will show to others,
that this is the oily way by which the densely populated districts of
Cambc:rwci!, Brixton, and Clapham can be thrnished with adequate
rail way ac;,ommodatloa.

Tii line proposed, besides being almost straight, has the advan-
tage of being so nearly level as not to offer a single engineering diffi-
culty ; and, as very few buildings will be interfered with, the
cost or the line will be moderate in comparison with other metropo-
litan Railways, and small with reference to the immense traffic which
must pa-s over it.
Th..! Norwood and Dulwich branch may probably be worked by a
single line of rails, especially if the atmospheric system of traction be
adopted. _ . . _ .

The principal s‘alions will ba in the Kent-road (dose to New Peck-
ham), at Camberwell (near the green), at Brixton (near the church),
and at ClAphani (near the common).
Passmp rs will save two-thirds of the time now spent in the
coacle, less fares will be charged ; and as experience has shown that
the icest l:equent naming of trains on short lines produces the largest
amol:nt of profit, the public are likely to be well served iu that
res;:cet

The great superiority of the London-bridge terminus for the dis-
tricts through which this line will pass, will be readily perceived,
when it is known that nearly the entire populations of those districts
arc engaged in commercial pursuit.% and that their places of business
are :mostly situate east of the Rank; and it is supposed that the
Dire:dr:vs of the South Western Railway will eagerly adopt the faci-
lity whi;:lt this line will offer for the conveyance of their passengers
to Lordoli-tridge.

The pro,pectus, plan, and other details, win be published in a few
days, and in the meantime communications may be addressed to the
Soli,tiGrs, at the temporary offices, 82, High-street, Southwark.

was done on the Bourse. The Three per Cents. were quoted
outside at 32.

The principal articles in the Paris papers still relate to the
disasters in Africa. The Opposition journals continue
the fire against M. GUIZOT and the English Govern-
ment, and again repeat that all the mischief has
arisen from base complaisance :to England. We find
really nothing new in these angry and unfair discussions.
England could in no way be to blame for the treaty of Tan-
giers. The French Government and the Emperor of Mo-
Rocco had a quarrel about the line of boundary—the affair
was. settled, and what more could the Opposition journals
require? They could not compel Were ABDEnnmearaer to
perform an impossibility, or expect that he would go to war
with ABD-EL-KADER, for the sake of the French. He has
no wish to harbour him in his dominions, hat
there are certain districts near the frontier, which are still
reckoned byAnD EL-KADER debateable ground ; they are not
completely, nor anything like it, under the control of Morocco,
and what blame then can be attached to, the EMPEROR We
have already given a specimen of the arguments used by the
Republican and Radical journals, and we now furnish one
flora a different quarter, the organ of the Bourbon dynasty,
which joins heat tit) with its sworn enemies in attacking the
Government of Louis Prinarrn. "If the plan of the
Aurnc:l (It's Debuts," says the Quotiditnne, "be executed
MARSHAL BEGEAtin will not have to make a simple expedi-
tion, but a campaign, and perhaps more than one. No pru-
dent man would undertake to promise that ABD-EL-KADER
can be attacked in the mountains of the Rif before the rainy
season. According to all appearances it• will be neces:ary to
recommence next spring, and perhaps with new reinforce-
ments, what LI about to he tried this autumn. It is
besides permitted to us to predict that the war
will be complicated by a revolution in Morocco.
The mountaineers of the eastern parts of the em-
pire do not love ABDERRNAMAN, neither do they fear him,
and they revere ABD-EL-KADER as a saint. We say this
merely fir the purpose of describing the real position of atfairs.
The enterprise in which, according to the Debuts, the Mi-
nistry is about to plunge is precisely that which was inter-
rupted after the victory of lsly by the treaty of Tangiers.
Thus are verified the predictions of all the writers of the in-
dependent press, and of all the sensible speakers in Parlia-
ment during the last session. They said to M. GurzoT,
What you have not accomplished this year you will be
forced to do next year. Your treaty is only a procrastination
without dignity, for it leaves things just as they were.' And
was not this the truth ? Are not this sudden invasion of the
territory of Algeria by Ann-EL KADER, this deplorable mas-
sacre otDjerna Ghazaouat, this insurrection of the Flittas,
this hasty embarkation of 12,000 troops for the province of
Oran, a positive condemnation of the treaty of Tangiers ? It
is now pretty evident that the treaty was imposed by exac-
tions, and accepted upon calculations the responsibility of
which the country indignantly repudiates. We do not ac-
cuse the Ministry of ignorance, but of cowardice ; of its base
complaisance for the English, and its insolent contempt of the
honour and interests of France." _ _ _

Some of the papers publish a long letter, dated Oran, Sept.
29, but it relates chiefly to the rositmn of ..413D.EL-KADEr.,
and the forces under his command, which, according to their
account, are anything but formidable. It is stated in the
letter, that the Emperor of MOROCCO was organising an
army of regular troops, with the intention of marching to the
frontier, in order to subdue the adherents of ABD-EL-KADER
in that quarter.
We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the papers:

Louis Philippe reviewed on Wednesday morning, in the Cour
des Tuileries, several regiments of the line that were leaving Paris
for other garrisons.

"The Empress of Russia arrived at Milan on the Ist inst., on her
way from the Lake of Como to Genoa.
" M. Ronge performed divine service in thechurch of the Ger-
man Catholic Dissenters at Frankfort, on the 4th. The day be-
fore he preached in the open air, at Offenbach, to a congregation
of more than 15,000 persons.
" The consumption of butchers' meat in Paris, in September last,
was 5,939 oxen, 2,253 cows. 6,658 calves, and 37,303 sheep. As
compared with the consumption during the corresponding month
of 1844, there was an increase in 1845 of 180 oxen, 676 cows,
897 calves, and 2,596 sheep.
" A lighthouse is to be raised on the coast of Fatouville, near
the mouth of the Seine, in place of the wooden one now existing.
It is to be 96 metres above the highest cquinoct:al tides. The cost
will be 145,000 f.
" It is stated iN a letter from Berlin, that the King and Queen
of Prussia will be the sponsors of the son of the Prince Royal of
Hanover.

" The Government of the Canton of Vaud, in Switzerland, hse
just decreed the dissolution of the Communist Societies which have
been formed at Lausanne."

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—At a Court of Common
Council, held yesterday, the report cf the Committee on
Blackfriars-bridge pier was agreed to, and ordered to be car-
ried into effect. The list of the Governors of Christ's Hos-
pital was directed to be returned to the President, to have
the Lord Mayor's name inserted in its proper place. A long
discussion then ensued on the important subject of providing
a City terminus for the metropolitan railways, originated by
a petition from the Direct London and Manchester Railway
Company, praying to be permitted to purcbase Farringdon
Market f ,r a railway terminus. -This petition WAS, on the
of Mr. It. Taylor,who expressed himself warmly in favour
of the project, ordered- to be referred to the Improvement
Committee by an overwhelming majority, only four hands
having been held up in favour of an amendment proposed by
Deputy -Godson, to the effect that it be ordered to lie en the
table. A petition from the London and Birmingham Ra 1-
way Company, praying to be allowed to purchase the site of
the Fleet Prison, for the purpose of forming a terminus, was
then presented by Mr. R. L Jones, and likewise ordered to
he referred to the ImproveMent Committee.—[We have a full
report of these ptoceedlogs, as likewise of various railway
meetings, in type. which we are compelled to omit to-day for
want of space. They will appear to-morrow.]

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1845,

MO,NEY and. COMMERCIAL -NE WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
quiet again, and Railway Shares were not very brisk.
The proceedings in the Court of Common Council yester-
day relative to the formation of a general central termini in
the City of London has been a subject of much conversation
in the City to-day. The petitions presented on behalf of the
Direct Manchester Railway Committee to purchase the new
Farringdon Market and one from the London and Birming-
ham Railway Company to buy the site of the Fleet
Prison for a similar object, were read with much inte-
rest by the mercantile classes, and a very earnest
desire is expressed that either one or both projects may
be carried into effect. No person interested in trade is there
to be found who has travelled by the Great Western, the
Birmingham, or the South-Western lines, who does not com-
plain of the time taken to reach, or return, from the several
stations of those railways. To parties who travel on trips
of pleasure, too, a great degree of annoyance is felt, lifer a
rapid journey by rail, to find s 6 long a period required to
reach the City, or to depart for the country, and therefore on
all hands it is requisite that a central termini should be as
early as possible formed. The site of Farringdon Market
(which as a place of business has proved a total failure, or
very neerly so) is con idered very eligible, and the present
structure might be re-modelled, so as in a great degree to suit
the purposes for which it is required.
There are no arrivals of importance in the City to-day.
The Consol market has been very firm this morning. For
the Account there have been but one or two transactions, at
981/1., and for immediate transfer 98% and %. The premium
on Exchequer-bills has been quoted at 48s. 500.
The principal quotations for the Foreign Stocks have been
this morning 871/2 and 86 for the Brazilian Five per Cen21ti,.175;4,
for Mexicans, 32 ; for Pt ruvians, 38M ; for the Converted
Portuguese 611,4 % ; for Grenada, 21% ; for the Dutch Two-
and-a-Haliper Cents., 60%; and for the Four per Cents.,
94% and lA.
A considerable amount of business has been transacted in
the Railway Shares to-day. The official_prices are annexed.
