LOVE AND MESMERISM.—BY HORACE SMITII,
ESQ.—The Author of " Brambletye House," has once
more come before the public he has so often entertained,
and we are bound to say, with a work as full of attrac-
tion as anything of the kind that has proceeded from
him. Under the title of " Love and Mesmerism," he
has produced a very extraordinary story. The time may
be said to be within the experience of many of his
readers—the scenes abound with romantic interest,
though the locality changes from the picturesque palaces
of Venice to the comfortable drawing-rooms of London
—and the characters comprise those vivid portrai-
tures from actual life for which the author has obtained
so high a reputation. Certain circumstances alluded to,
towards the conclusion of the work, that have marked
the career of a public character with considerable
notoriety, have aided greatly, we are told, in exciting
public curiosity towards " Love and Mesmerism,"
which will doubtless be as popular as any of its pre-
decessors.
RAILWAY BILLS.—RAILWAYS.—Yesterday a re-
turn, obtained by Mr. Gibson Craig, was printed of all Bills of
the late sessions for railways, with the amount of the estimates
of the capital stock, and of the sum allowed to be borrowed for
each railway, and the total amount of the estimates, capital
stock, and arms authorised to be borrowed for all such
railways. It appears that the estimated expense of
52 railways set forth in the return is 43,339,325/. The capital
stock is stated at 44,741,200/., and the money authorised to be
borrowed 14,872,3261. Mr. Moffatt, the new Member for
Dartmouth, has also obtained a return (which was yesterday
issued) of the number of Acts which have passed in the session;
the length of each line ; the number of shares, and the amount
of capital subscribed for each ; the number of new shares that
each line is empowered to create; and the sum of money each
line is empowered to borrow. The length of the lines are
2,746 m. 6f. and 4c. The number of shares subscribed for
is 723,819 ; the amount of capital subscribed 31,89,1,474/. ;
the number of shares empowered to be created, 927,697 ; and
the money empowered to be borrowed 13,678,0381.
PRIZE MONEY.—The Gazette of last night con-
tains a notice to the officers and company of her Majesty's brig
Star, R. J. W. Dunlop, Esq., Commander, that the propor-
tions arising from the bounty money on the tonnage and a
moiety of the sale proceeds of the Brazilian slave brig Maria,
captured on the Ist of April, 1844, will be paid to those who

sentatives, on the 10th of September next, at No. 3, Clifford's
Inn ; and the shares not then claimed will be recalled every
Wednesday and Thursday, for three months to come, agreeably
to Act of Parliament. Proportions due to each class: —Com-

EXTENSIVE RODBERY.—About one o'clock on
Thursday last Mr. Dawson, town-traveller to Mr. Calvert, an
extensive dealer in bandannas, of Ludgate-hill, was robbed of
five parcels, containing a variety of silk goods, to the value of
upwards of 701., in the following manner :—Whilst' going to
dine at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, Mr.
Dawson left a young man named Edward Wood, who usually
took charge of his parcels, in care of his property at a neigh-
bouring public-house. He was surprised, on returning iu
about an hour, to find that Wood was not there. He however
had no apprehension that the lad had absconded, and awaited
his return for a considerable time. At length Mr. Dawson
began to feel alarm for the safety of the property, and hastened
to his employer's, where, after relating the circumstance, he
proceeded to the residence of the boy's parents, at Camden-
gardens, Bethnal-green, who had heard nothing of him during
the day. Mr. Dawson then proceeded to Denmark-street
station-house, St. George's-in-the-East, and lodged informa-
tion against the lad.

Bu-ckingham Palace, during the absence of the
Court from town, is to undergo various embellishments and
alterations. The grand hall is to be decorated somewhat in
the style of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Gardens; and in
the north wing alterations are to be forthwith made.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1845,

The arrival of the Cambria mail steam-ship on Thurs-
day morning at Liverpool, from Boston (which passage,
including the time occupied by her usual detention at
Halifax, she effected in eleven days arid less than half
of another), brings advices of considerable interest from
New York and from Mexico. From Mexico we have a
proclamation, or circular, dated July 16, 1845, by the
Mexican Ministers of War and Marine, and addressed
to the Generals-in-Chiefs of divisions, announcing the
intention of the Supreme Government to communicate
on the ensuing day to Congress its declaration of war
against the Urited States, for their perfidious conduct in
the affair of Texas. The " Circular" is couched in
terms of great moderation and dignity, but they do not
the less on that account bespeak a settled purpose, on
the part of the Mexican authorities, to resist with a high
hand the outrageous insult which the annexation of
the Texas territory to that of the Federal Union has
put upon a sister Republic. From the stern promptitude
with which the Mexican nation resented and revenged, in
July, 1824, the attempt of ITURBIDE to superinduce an
imperial domination on her more popularised institutions,
we are fully prepared to expect that she would still more
deeply resent a flagrant and outrageous violation of the
integrity of her National Republic. We are far from
regarding, therefore, her first step towards war with the
United States as a mere "bruturefulmen."
Letters from New York allude to further proceedings
on the part of officers of the United States, which seem
to imply an equally tenacious spirit of aggression, in
that Government, as to other territories still more remote
than Texas. In addition to the march of Colonel
KEARNEY'S detachment of 300 Dragoons of the United
States' army, from their cantonments at Leavenworth, in
order to cover, as it wits said, the advance of American
emigrants to the Oregon territory, whither they were to
be escorted as far as the southern passes of the rocky
mountains ; it now appeters that a Captain FREEMONT
has sailed "in the sane interest," on an exploring
expedition, in the first iniitaace to Drake's River, and
subsequently to the Bay? of San Francisco. This fact
Tied it been iinaccompanien, ny the circumstance that this
forms the third expedition of a similar character which
the same individual has conducted to the same quarters,
But this intelligence, in the cases both of Mexico and
New York, carries with it a moral, cn which we cannot
refrain from again touching, although we have so often
adverted to it already. In the case of Mexico, our
ally, the favourite principle of our modern foreign policy,
non-intervention, has been carried out to a most ques-
tionable extent. A war which may involve the noblest
States' that civilisation can boast, may yet be the result
of a carelessness or timidity of tone in the representations
which our Government has made to the aggressive party,
in the incipient stages of her spoliation-schemes since
accomplished upon its victim. In the case of the Oregon,
a calamity not less grave or deplorable may yet ulti-
mately attest the folly and imbecility of our diplomatic
'credulity—in past years—with regard to the postpone-
ment of formal details, on the faith of the United States'
Government being ready at any future time to execute
the letter of compacts, the principle of which it had
already pledged itself to. But we are fain to believe
that her MAJESTY'S Ministers have really come to a
well-considered determination to throw to the winds, in
all future dealings with the Oregon question, all idea of
resorting to those expedients for tiding over, and leaving
it to time to accommodate, those great d;sputed points
with which the main principle of our rights in that
quarter is inseparably bound up. The United States
have put such a:case upon the record against themselves,
in the affair of the Boundary question, by dishonestly
evading and refusing to be bound by the award of the
arbiter (the late King of HOLLAND), whose judgment
they had concurred with this country in invoking ; that
it is very doubtful whether we could, in prudence, on
any future proposition for the " arrangement," as it is
called, of the Oregon difficulty, consent again to go with
them to any arbitration. Besides, the lines within
which our rights are included happen to be so broad
and straight, so well defined, so clearly recognised by
the law of nations, that to consent to their arbitrament
by a third party would be to lower their character, and
prejudice their security. When, too, we look at a mili-
tary escort already far advanced in its march upon the
" trail," as it is called, of the United States' emigrants
by land, and a naval exploring expedition by sea, we
are prone to believe that we are being invited to assist in
" arrangements," and to go into new bases of negotia-
tions, of which, unless we are very brisk, brief, and de-
cided in disposing of then, we may find the " foregone
conclusion:. " already provided, located, and installed
upon the soil which forms the subject of the conflicting
claim. In saying this, we by no means conceal from
ourselves the all but hopeless character of the natural
obstacles—the difficulties, privations and dangers which
beset the passage of the emigrants through the dreary
wilderness, the barren plains and dreary mountains they
have to traverse. But the arrival of a small body of
them, even, could scarcely fail to produce the most se-
rious and permanent hostilities between the subjects of
the two States, which a more intelligible and decided
policy on our part, long since adopted, instead
of the imbecile temporising of the LONDON.
DERRY school, would have by this time set at
rest for ever. The first tamperings of ANDREW
JACKSON, as President, with the treacherous or disaf-
fected servants of the State of Mexico, ought to have
been remonstrated against ; and those remonstrances en-
forced, if needful, by the aid of our arms, and protection
to the Mexican Government, in the most direct and un-
compromising spirit. But the expulsion of the Ame-
ricanunprincipled but petty projects into the
full-blowndireen:: rmity of JOIIN TYLER'S conspiracy against,
and frauds upon, the same Government, should have
been considered not only by us as a sufficient ca sus
fcedel is to justify our intervention on behalf of Mexico,
by a categorical demand for the disavowal by Congress
of the most unprincipled dealings that can di,grace the
Ministers or agents of one independent Power in
their deportment towards another ; but by every other
nation also in relations of amity with the United States,
as sufficient cause for formally withdrawing from those
relations. The dignity of free States—the faith of trea-
ties—the morality of national character—the interests of
civilization—the advance of civilization—all these ap-
pear to us to have been already sacritied in the accom-
plished appropriation of Texas by the United States ;
and the extension of that sacrifice seems inevitable, if
they be longer permitted to retain their present attitude
of meditated encroachment on the Oregon territory.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE
CONTINENT.
COBURG, AUG. 25.—Matters are so completely quiet
here and at Rosenau, that it would be quite unnecessary
to send this communication, except that the people of
England may like to know that the Queen and her Con-
sort are well, and in the enjoyment of that repose which
they so much required after the fatigues of travelling..
Temporary seclusion from the cares of State, and the
wearying splendours of Court life, at all times so wel-
come to Sovereigns, must become doubly agreeable
when obtained in so delightful a place as that in which
the Queen and Prince Albert now are. Their daily
habits are the most simple. Up with the early morning,
after a walk in the beautiful grounds around Rosenau,
they breakfast in the open air, on a terrace at the back of
the castle, which commands one of the loveliest views
imaginable ; promenades, or drives to view points of the
neighbouring scenery, occupying the rest of the day till
the dinner hour, which is four o'clock, and the remain-
der of the evening is either spent at the theatre (when
open), or at the 'town residence, when the royal party
do not remain in privacy at Rosenau. So simple and
uniform a life obviously affords no opportunity for a
newspaper chronicle.
Yesterday the dinner was postponed to seven o'clock.
After church the royal party drove out. To-day there
has been no variation from the usual routine.
The arrangement still is for the Court to leave here
on Wednesday morning. A journey of about nine hours
will bring them to a seat of the Duke's, between this and
Gotha, where they will rest till Thursday morning; they
will then go on to Gotha. On their way, on Wednes-
day, they will lunch at Aleiningen. To-night the royal
party are expected again to attend the theatre. A Ger-
man comedy, by Gutzkow, will be performed, entitled
Zopf end Schwert. It turns upon some of the eccentri-
cities of the Court of Frederick William 1., father of
Frederick the Great.

COURT CIRCULAR.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince
Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice were
taken on the sea-beach on Wednesday morning, and
were taken airings in the pleasure grounds of Osborne
House, the same afternoon.
On Thursday morning the juvenile Royal Family all
walked on the beach. In the afternoon the Prince of
Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Royal rode on
ponies in the pleasure grounds. The Princess Alice
was also taken an airing.

TIM EAST SIIFFOLK HOSPITAL.--A vast number
of the gentry and of all classes were assembled on Thursday
last, in the Park of the Chantry, near Ipswich, for the bene-
volent purpose of contributing to the funds of this Institution,
through the medium of a public bazaar. The owner of the
park, Mr. C. Lillingston, very kindly allowed his grounds for
the use of the Committee and all who chose to attend, and the
services of Mr. B. Edgington, of the borough, were in requi-
sition to erect eight elegant marquees for the accommodation
of the company. Colonel Whyte and the officers of the 7th
Hussars permitted the band of the regiment to attend, and
altogether the arrangements were most satisfactory. The
funds of the Institution have received a considerable addition
from this judicious mode of uniting amusement with the busi-
ness of benevolence. On Friday evening a ball for the same
purpose was held in the New Assembly-rooms, at Ipswich, at
which all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood were
present.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT NOTTINGHAM.-Thurs-
day the metropolitan police received information of a wan
named Henry Hayes having absconded from Nottingham, on
Saturday afternoon last, after having plundered his sister,_ Mrs.
Mary Anne Morris, of property to a large amount. Hayes
took with him a black leather trunk, containing a large quan-
tity of plate, a receipt on Moore and Robinson's bank for
1701., Bank of England and Liverpool notes to the amount of
155/., a yellow silk bag, containing upwards of 100 sovereign%
two gold bracelets set with cameos, with other valuable pro-
perty.

THE BLIGHT OF THE POTATO CROP.—The unfa-
vourable accounts which we last week gave relative to the
matter are, we regret to state, confirmed. How far the warm
weather and drying winds of the past week may have tended to
slay the evil, it is difficult to say. To repair the damage that
has been already done, it clearly beyond the range of possibi-
lity.—Sussex Advertiser.
