The Committee of Management have the satisfact on of informing
their Shareholders that, under the advice and motive direction of Mr.
George Stephenson, the survey of their intended Railway is proceed-
ing most satisfactorily, and that the line, as determined upon, will be,
with reference to the country traversed, very favourable in its engi-
neering features, and of a character to satisfy the wishes and con-
ciliate the support of the landed proprietary. It is intended that the
main line shall commence at Stockport, thus increasing the length of
the road to be constructed, but diminishing materially the distalme
between Manchester and Derby, and improving the general charac-
ter of the workt.
The Committee have also directed their attention to the best means
of giving complete development by branch lines to the rich mineral
resources of Derbyshire, and of connecting them more completely
with the contiguous manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Cheshire,
and Yorkshire. One of the extensions already determined upon, and
having this object in view, will be through the important localities
of New Mills, Hayfield, Mottram, and Marple, to Hyde
and Dukenfleld ; thus accommodating the populous districts era-
Tersed by the Manchester and Huddersfield and the Manchester
and Sheffield Railways.
The pecuniary arrangements by which these objects will be
effected are under the consideration of the CommAGGEittee, and will be
announced without delay. F. A. WR, Secretary.

righteousness to erring man. This is the consum-
mation so devoutly prayed for by these renegade
Churchmen. They would assume all power and
all authority to themselves, they would in time become
even a more frightful race of priests than the sangui-
nary and despotic Druids, and sanction every cruelty
and every crime that could possibly exalt them above
their fellow-creatures. Were opinions of this cast put
forth by the Puseyites as simple individuals, and in
the shape of theories to which they wished to attract
"public attention, we should regard them as vagaries like
those practised by JOANNA SOUTHeff, or the founder of
the " unknown tongues;" but when we find these reli-
gionists making use of their sacred functions, wielding
the power given to thorn by their position in the Church,
and traitorously combining against Protestantism, which
they had sworn to maintain and defend, we can find
no language sufficiently strong to describe such want of
honour, such breach of sacred oaths, find such a total
disregard of those ties which bind together civilised
society. These men remained in the Church solely to
undermine it, and now begin to drop off when the
law and public opinion have affixed a condign
stigma on their Jesuitical plots. The following
sentence from Mr. WARD'S book fully bears out the
charge that his object was to make use of his position in
destroying Protestantism, and in bringing back the dis-
ciples of the Reformation to the doctrines and communion
of Rome :—" The progress from error to truth can-
not be made in one leap : persons cannot, on
the mere word of an external authority, em-
brace at once a whole class of new doctrines, fo-
reign, and at first even repugnant, to their moral
nature. The doctrines, again, to which I allude, are
but accessories to the central verities of the Gospel—not
those verities themselves ; and will follow in due time,
in proportion as those verities are rightly believed, hear-
tily embraced, and fed on by prayer and contemplation.
The English Church then at present, witnessing as it does
those truths in its formularies, but silent, to say the least,
on these accessories, does seem a providential ordinance
adapted to prepare minds by degrees fur the doctrine
and communion of Rome." Let us be thankful
therefore that the plot has been discovered (we hope in
time), and that the voice of the country, which has
already done so much, will compel the rest
of the class to follow Mr. WARD, and join
those whose tenets they profess. Mr. WARD
has retired, it is true, but, in doing so, he has
only shown more clearly the dangerous principles by
which he was actuated. He remained in the English
Church, according to his own showing, because, Le says,
there is nothing in that Church to hinder any one
from holding all Roman doctrine, and because all
those who being in doubt of her claims, and
resolving on living a stricter life in her com-
munion (meaning thereby Romanism) had found
an ever-increasing confidence in their position. These
circumstances, he adds, have ceased to exist. In short,
he cannot enjoy the emoluments of Protestantism, and,
at the same time, profess Popery, so he makes a virtue of
necessity, and walks out, that he may not be forcibly
expelled.

The report of the Commissioners on Tidal Harbours,
the concluding passages of which we published in our
edition of Monday, will be hailed, we are confident, by
all our readers, as one of the most valuable anal im-
portant results of the labours of the last session of Par-
liament. We can imagine no subjects better entitled to
the most careful investigation of a well-composed Com-
mission than the present condition of these harbours ;
the nature and extent of works, in progress or com-
pleted, for the removal of obstructions, the deepening
of their channels, the security of their entrances, and
their general maintenance.

With regard to the harbours, as well as to so many
other of her natural resources and geographical capa-
cities, it may be said that the progress of this country
in strengthening her position and defences, has hitherto
been, not on account of their development, but in despite
of them. No kingdom ever made such vast and rapid
advances in all power, devoting at the same time so little,
comparatively speaking, of the same energy and the same
wealth to the consolidation of the advantages which the
outline of her coasts affords to her. It may be that this
neglect is attributable to a generous confidence on the
part of the people and of their rulers in the national
spirit and intrepidity ; in that love of country and that
irrepressible maritime enterprise, which never find
us content to awe t the attack of an insulting
enemy within our own boundaries, but make us always
eager to be first a-field, by sea or by land, and urging on
offensive operations. This plea may be available, perhaps,
to excuse the neglect of simply defensive positions. But
it cannot satisfy the complaints of humanity. Our utter
deficiency of harbours of refuge throughout the long
period of five hundred years, for which our commerce
has been gradually expanding itself fromits incipient
trade in the wool staple to its present enormous dimen-
sions, is a moral and social, as well as a political
anomaly, for which it would be as difficult to as-
sign any valid excuse as it would be to devise any
adequate explanation. The simple ground of expense
on which Sir R. PEEL and Mr. GOULBtJBN have hereto
fore attempted to justify their disregard of the earnest re-
commendations of the Committee on Harbours of Refuge,
before which the Duke of WELLINGTON himself—as
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports—had made out, in
his evidence, a case of such urgent and imperative ne-
cessity for the immediate construction of these works at
different points upon our shores—that ground of
"expense" on which it is so convenient for First Lords
of the Treasury and Chancellors of the Exchequer to fall
back when they are reluei ant to comply with the wishes of
Parliament, and which they find it so convenient to
forget or lose sight of when they have some favourite
objects of their owe to carry—this ground cannot be
sustained. A country whose annual expenditure is up-
wards of 50,000,0001. per annum, whereof a considerable
proportion is absorbed by civil establishments, paid on
the most extravagant scale, and civil pensions and pen-
sions allotted by the Crown (but paid by the public), for
mere personal services or considerations of personal
favouritism; such a country cannot be truly said to be un-
able with safety to incur one charge of four or five or even
six millions for the construction of permanent harbours of
refuge for our swarming merchant vessels running down
our dangerous coasts, or the fortifying new psts, or
repairing old works already established, for the better
protection of our trade and our stores, our coast towns,
dockyards, creeks, mouths of rivers, &c. If the Premier
can bring himself to persist, year after year, in a period
of peace, to levy the most odious of peace taxes,
though it may be the most justifiable of our imposts ;
if the Chancellor of the Exchequer insist on maintain-
ing this oppressive property-tax, in order that he may
chuckle over his " surplus revenue " of 3,000,0001. (ex-
isting only in virtue of the 5,000,0001. and more realised
by_this single tax), shall we bo told that Dungeness and
Seaford can not be made harbours, nor the ports of Hythe
and Rye be restored, nor Harwich improved, nor Dover
deepened, nor less promising positions on the west coast
of England, as well as on the south and east, be improved

into available " refuges" for our tempest-tossed merchant-
men and our gallant navy ? With the welfare of both of
these services, the main interests, the lasting prosperity of
this mighty empire are intimately and indissolubly bound
up. How long then, are exigences of finance (fictitious
exigencies after all, and not necessarily attaching to a
more economised or better digested system than that
upon which our finances are administered) Lobe thus per-
mitted to outweigh the sacred claims with regard to the
security of human life, and of the great arm of our na-
tional force, the navy? But we trust that the good Benin
of Parliament will vindicate the force of those claims by
an expression of opinions so complete, as regards both
this view of the case and the demands of a torecastiug
and intelligent regard to the aspect of our foreign rela-
tions, as shall compel the adoption by Government of the
views it has solemnly recorded in the report in question.
In connexion with these and a powerful auxiliary in

giving to them all the effect which they ought to have,
will now be taken the report on tidal harbours. The

Commissioners are men well entitled to the confidence

of the Legislature and the country by scientific acquire-
ments or professional experience ; as official functiona-
ries, or as practical men of business, and Members of Par-
liament. Rear-Admiral BOWLES, M.P., is the Chairman.
The other Commissioners are Captains GORDON BREMER
and J. WASHINGTON, R.N., Mr. BEAUFORT, hydrogra-
pher, Professor AIRY, the astrore.mer royal. Messrs.
JOSEPH IIiTME, M.P., AARON CHAPMAN, M.P., ED-
WARD RICE, M.P.,TUOIVIAS BARING, M.P., and RICHARD
GODSON, M.P. They do not adopt any halting, compro-
mising tone in setting out their recommendations ; and
we rejoice to see that there is no mock delicacy, no
"nolo Episcopori" fencing with the high and re-
sponsible functions which they have been willing to
take upon themselves. They recommend that " their
Board should have summary jurisdiction over the
waters of the tidal harbours and navigable rivers
with a reservation, only, of private rights under charter,
and the continuation of local boards where this Com-
mission may think fit. That this Commission have full
powers, by the assistance of engineers and surveyors, to
ascertain the extent of all nuisances and obstructions in
such tidal harbours and rivers, and to summons juror.;
of the neighbourhood to inquire into and report upon
the same, to be thereupon dealt with by the Commis-
sioners, where such nuisance, &c., shall be found to have
exited for a period of . • yc.trs. That the Board
Uivide ait he coasts of the kil:gdow into a cer-
tain number of sections, each of these being placed
under the superintendence of competent
person, who

shall visit, at least once a year, every port, river, har-
bour, and creek within his disti ict, and report the state
of the same, and the progress of any works carrying on
there; and that the Board may enforce the appointment
of a resident engineer or harbour-master wherever the
port, harbour, &c., may seem of sufficient importance to
call for such appointment. That the accounts of all trusts
of harbours or navigable rivers be prepared and sent into
this Board, made_ up to the 31st December previously,
on or before the 31st of March in each year. That all
works, public or private, commenced or proceeded with
without the consent of this Board, that shall be within
the high-water mark of ordinary spring tides, shall be
stopped by this Board's order, and, if necessary, be
removed at the expense of the parties who have cln-
structed them." Other recommendations which follow
regard the provision to be made tor securing accurate
registers and reports of the state of the harbour groundi
from time to time, registers of meteorological, tidal, and
barometrical observations, &c. The concluding para-
graph is so directly to the purpose of these observations,
and similar comments which we have on other occasions
submitted on this very important topic to the public,
that we hope to be excused for quoting some part of it in
this place
And when they consider the great waist of accessible har-
bours along the whole of the coasts of your Majesty's dominions
—more especially when the extended use of steam-navigation
points to such great changes in maritime affairs, whereby
every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when
they consider that by the improvement of our tidal harbours
your Majesty's ber.eficient intentions fur the preservation of
the lives and property of a large class of your Majesty's sub-
jects may be fulfilled, they confidently trust that no minor
considerations may be allowed to impede the accomplishment
of objects of such national importance."

These are words of weight and wisdom. Let us hope
they will be not only remembered, but promptly
acted upon by the Government, who ought to feel by
this time that harbours of refuge, the better mainten-
ance of all works connected with the conservancy of
rivers and existing harbours, and the adequate fortifica •
tions of our exposed coasts, are national objects of far
higher interest and importance than struggles for main-
taining the ascendancy of their own party, or for the
propagation of their own political opinions.

Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received,
but they contain no intelligence of the slightest interest.
A new list of senators, chiefly selected from members of
the liberal professions and the wealthier classes of
civilians, was to be published in a few days.
On the 25th the Thr,:e per Cents. closed at 314 for
cash, and 314 for the 30th of August ; and the Five per

The Paris Moniteur contains dispatches from Otaheite
up to the 28th of April. At that period no fresh act of
disturbance on the part of the natives had taken place
iu that settlement, but some of them still continued i❑
the entrenched camps of Panavia and Papenco. At the
Marquesas Islands a tribe of Nouka-Iliva, discontenttd
with a fine inflicted on it for having plundered some
flocks, assassinated, on the 28th of January, five sol-
diers of the garrison. A detachment sent against tha
tribe pursued and dispersed it. Ail the other tribes made
common cause with the garrison. The principal assas-
sins
were apprehended. Their chief, PAKoKO, was con-
demned to death and executed. The others were tt [im-
ported. TranqUillity had not been since disturbed. The
sanitary state and situation of the establishments at
Taioahe and Vaitahu were satisfactory. The same official
journal contradicts the report that had appeared in some
of the papers stating that Admiral CECILLE had taken
possession of Bassilan, one of the Philippine islands.
" The Constitutional," it says, " announced yesterday
that Admiral CECILLE, having occupied the island of
Bassilan, according to instructions received from his
Government, had been disavowed. These assertions are
erroneous. At no time did the Government give orders
to occupy Bassilan, and Admiral CECILLE never took
possession of this island." The other intelligence in the
Paris papers is without interest if we except the accounts
of the harvest from the provinces, which on the whole
are favourable. The fine weather which has prevailed
for some time had enabled the farmers to secure a great
proportion of the crops in the north of France, which
are said to be abundant and fully equal to those of last
year.

BANKRUPTCY. (THIS DAY.)
(Before Air. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN DE HENRY WOOD.
This bankrupt, who came up for his last examination, earried
on buiines,t as a furrier in Abchurch-lane and Sou!hwark.
It did not appear that there had been any misappropriation of
propf.rty or extravagance on the part of the bankrupt, who had,
bankrupt exptessod himself satisfied with
the
however, been mixed up with " patent medicines" and life
preservers to an extent which had touched his pocket severely,

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Wimbush, who was brought up at this Court on Satur
day, on a charge of stealing a watch from Messrs. Debenham
placed at
tandhe bSatro, rbre,
foorf
inrg. tarredeiti:eC, Covent-garden, -garden, was again
Mr. Clarkson opened the case, and called the following wit-

news :
Charles Walker, watch-maker, of 40, Princes-street, Soho,
identified the watch produced as having been made by him for
a Mr. Bullock, an artist, of the Strand. It wa.,i numbered
375. It has a duplex escapement, is jewelled in four holes,
with compensation balance, enamelled dial, and seconds. He
made it about three years ago, but could not speak exactly to
the time when he made it, as he had not his books in Court.
A person, named Richardson,, called upon him in April, 1844,
and, describing the watch to him, asked his opinion as to the
quality of the watch.
Mr. Clarkson said he must not go into the particulars of se, n-
versation at %Nilo' the prisoner was not present, he would, there-
fore only ask whether the conversation had reference to the
sale at Messrs. Debenham and Store's ?
The witness said it had. He gave Mr. Richardson his opi-
nion of the quality of the watch. A few days after Le saw Mr.
Richardson again, and heard from him that the watch had
been stolen. That was in April, and in December or January
following a person named Cloughly called upon him and showed
him a watch. He asked him whether he had made it, and he
said he had, and that it bad been stolen. He added that he
(Cloughly) must go with him to Messrs. Debenham arid Store,
from whom the watch had beer, stolen. Cloughly expressed
himself willing to go, and on arriving at Messrs. Debenham's
he said he had received it from Mr. Wimbush, and gave him
30 guineas for it.
Mr. George Bullock said that he W 63 an artist, and that the
watch produced,
witness. Ile gave him 30/. for it. He afterwards pledged it
or one similar, was made for him by the last
to a pawnbroker in St. Martin's-lane. He did not pawn it
himself, but tent Mrs. Bellock with it. He now produced the
ticket which she received on pledging it.
William Moore, assistant in the shop of Mr. Fleming,
Pawnbroker, in St. Martin's-lane, spoke to having received the
watch from Yrs. Bullock, and alto to having sent it to Messrs.
Debenham and Store's, to be sold by auction.
Mr. Richardson, picture-deal: r, corroborated part of Mr.
Walker's evidence, and proved that the watch, together with
other articles of great value, were stolen during a sale at
Messrs. Debenham and Store, in April, 1644, at which the pri-
soner was present.
James Uloughly, of 98, Ling-acre, clerk to Messrs. Pearce,
army clothiers, stated that in the month of May last year, or
thereaLouts, he bought frem the prisoner the -- itch now pro-
duced. The prisoner owed him money at tha rime, but wit-
ness, however, gave cash 131. fee this article. Het equired a
memorandum of the sale and pay ment, whichhowever, he
did not receive from the prisoner until the April following.
He had that memorandum still in his possession.
The MAGISTRATE interrupted the examination, directing
the witness to go home for the memorandum, and produce it iu
court with as little delay as possible.
During his absence, witnesses from the establishment of
Messrs. Machin and Debenham were called to prove the fol-
lowing facts which had been set forth in Mr. Clarkson's state-
ment;:— A gold casket and some diamonds and doubloons,
stolen at the same time with the watch, were of the
value of about 300/. The prisoner was in the habit of
attending the sales, and those respectable dealers who were
known were admitted behind the counter to examine the more
valuable articles. The prisoner was seen to examine the arti-
cles in question shortly before they were missed. About
twenty or thirty dealers examined the articles the morning of
the robbery.
Mr. Clou;.hly (having returned) produced the memorandum
of receipt of payment for the watch, which he swore to be in
the prisoner's handwriting. He had known the prisoner twenty
years.
In answer to the prisoner's solicitor, the witness said, that
his statement that he bought the watch in May, 1844, de-
pended on the prisoner's memorandum, and not on his own
recollect ion.

William Stunt, a clerk in the employment of
the prosecutor, stated, that on the day after the
robbery, he received instructions from
his employers to go
round to the several dialers in gold, and to inquire whether
they had purchased bullion of thekind into which the doubloons
and gold casket were likely
to be converted. In such
a case, it would be the useal course for the dealer
to give every assistance to lead to the tracing
of the thief. The prisoner was in the counting-house
when witness received those instructions, and followed
witness out, offering to accompany him to the city, if witness
would first come to an eating-house and dine with him. The
prisoner said it would be useless to go the bullion-dealers, they
could give no information, a, !Ilex ye,,r !m.i: ro.,teF.; !,... , ever,

the manner in which the prisoner remarked upon the robbery
excited the suspicions of witness, and he therefore made
an (AMC for retaining to his employers, to .whom he

communicated those suspicions that the prisoner was concerned
in the robbery. Trey told him to go at once to the refiners
notwithstanding. He went accordingly into the City, but
being determined not to take the prisoner with him, he left
him at the Bell and Crown, Holborn, where the prisoner
stopped to see his wife off by the coach.
Edmund Collins, a. refiner and smelter, proved to have pur-
chased a bar of gold, weighing 11 ounces, proved to have pur-
ehaced a bar of gold, weighing 11 ounces, frein the prisoner,
on the 20th April, 1e44. Line robbery took place on the 17th.1
An offieer of police proved to finding a smelting apparatus
in the prisoner's house. .
After some further evidence, the prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.

MARLB OROUG H-STREET.
(THIS PAY.)
Mary Foy, a poor woman, who seemed to be in a very
exhausted state, with her child, a weakly boy, between seven
and eight years, of age, were charged by police•constable No.
12, of the C division, with having been apprehended by him
last evening begging in the public streets.
The mother said she was in a state of the greatest destitution,
neither her child nor herself having, for the last two days and
nights had any fo. d but what was supplied to them this morn-
ing at the police station-house. They were making their way
to Newcastle, in the hope of meeting her husband.
Mr. MALTBY asked if she was known as a common mendi-
cant?—The constable said she was not. lie had reason to
beleve that the account she had given of herself was true.
Mr. MA vraY—lf I discharge her, will she leave town tLis
day, and proceed on her way to Newcastle? The mother—Oh
yes, with pleasure I will:
Mr. MALTBY humanely ordered some silver to be given to the
poor crcature fr.= out of the poor-box, to assist her on her
way, for which she expressed herself truly thankful, and left the
court with a greatly lightened heart.

CLERKEN ELL.-(r MS DAY.)
Mr. Henson, a merchant's traveller, residing in Basinghall-
st►eet, was charged with being riotous in the public street.
The policeman deposed to the truth of the charge, but the
prisoner gave a very different account of the matter. He was
getting a drunken woman into a cab when the policeman, 66 G,
came up and interfered. Prisoner said he would report him
for misconduct, and wns about to take Lis number when the
policeman arrested him. The policeman did all in his power
to irritate him. _ _ _

Air. COMIES remanded tha prisoner, that the matter might
be further inquired into.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO MBE's,
A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day, the sales being fully 10,000 bales, of which 4,000 were
on speculation. There was a fair quantity on offer. 500 Surat
sold at 3d. to 31/td. ; 200 Maranham, at 5N d. ; 150 Pernams, at
6,0. to 63%d.; 400 Egyptian, at 610. to 9d. ; and the rest
American, at 33/4d. to 61/4d.—A large businese was done in
Shares, at full prices.
Tnere are no ship arrivals to-clay, nor is anything of in-
terest stirring.
The arrangements for the due prosecution of the timber
trade at Liverpool appear to be very defective, if we may
judge by the following communication from the outport, in
which also are contained some interesting particulars rela-
tive to the general state of the market ;—Since the 18th
instant, the arrivals have been limited, say only six vessels,
3,470 tons, and the sales, in like manner, limited to a tew
cargoes, the attention of all parties being turned to the re-
moval from the quay of the timber which had been heaped
on it in the utmost confusion. The relaxation of the pressure
in the discharging for the last few days, has enabled the quays
to be somewhat rdieved, and it is hoped that the dock
Committee will take the present opportunity, in compliance
with the application of the majority of the importers and
timber-merchants, of making such arrangements as will pre-
vent a recurrence of such a state of things as has been expe-
rienced during the last four weeks, and which has caused a
great loss of property, severe loss by fines, and a greater de-
clension in the market than, under other circumstances,
would have taken place. This confusion is attributable
to the following causes, viz. .—The discharging
without being confined to a specified berth or space ; the
working of sufferance from daylight to dark, without also
applying an equal amount of force to remove the timber so
discharged, and the mixing of cargoes with each other, which
renders the identification of timber very difficult, prevents
its being effectually worked at ; and as the present system
obliges the work to be carried on throughout the night (which
is contrary to reason and the usage of any other trade) fraud is
very much facilitated, and at such time many legs
are stolen off the quay. If, however, the request of the im-
porters and timber merchants be acted on, a remedy may be
applied, as far as the present system will admit of ; the im-
porter will be able to identify his property, the buyer will
have the opportunity of seeing it connectedly, and
removing it effectively ; the Custom-house officer will be
facilitated in his duty, and the ship in future will always have
a defined place to be discharging into, without encroaching
on another's berth, and throwing all into confusion. At the
present moment the quays arc covered with timber, dis-
charged out of ships which are more than a week at sea,
much of it not yet measured by the Customs.
When the quays are thus regulated, a steadier market and
better prices will be the consequence.
From the great delay the ships have experienced on
the other side, joined to long passages home, the num-
ber of second voyage ships is much less than usual : and this
market will probably not have the overwhelming import from
Canatia that was first anticipated; in such case better prices
may be expected for the full fleet.
The Stock market continues rather dull, and sales are
still made in Consols, so as to check the improvement
which the fine weather might otherwise occasion. The
quotations for present transfer are 983/4 to 98%, and for
Time, 99 to 1/s. Exchequer-bills have been 455. to 475.,
being heavy. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are:lo2l4
to 1021/2 ; and -the Three per Cents. 99% to 99%. Bank
Stock is worth 213 to 2131,,.
The Foreign Bonds have been dull again. Spanish Five
per Cents have been nominal, and the Three per Cents. are
3816 %; Portuguese Old Stock is at 84; -Mexican are flat at
33 Co ; Dutch Four per Cents. realise 9914.
Shares are extremely buoyant, and, as regards the Scrips,
nearly all better.
