The Importance of establishing the most direct railway communi-
cation between Leeds and Carlisle, and, by means of the Caledonian
Railway, between Carla e, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, is too self-
evident to require anything to be urged in its support.
The existing and projected lines of railway in Yorkshire, which
pursue a westerly or north-westerly direction, are intended rather to
benefit particular towns and districts, than to effect this object. The
uresent railway accomplishes it to the utmost possible extent.
- The line now proposed proceeds by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway
(far :vitt& an Aet has been already obtained) up Wharfedale to
Otley, ir2ttleivell, and Hawes, thence it passes through or near
Kirby Stepheti and Appleby, uniting with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway near pesuith. A branch from °Hey to Bradford will
extend to that important town the advantages of the undertaking.
Di comparison with the existing lines the Leeds and Carlisle Railway
will effect a saving of more that! 6.417 miles ; and it is consitlerably
shorter than any other projected lintf. - The great national and local
importance of the Railway will be evident.
It affords the shortest and most direct route befislea the manufac-
turing metropolis of Yorkshire and the commercial • Petropolis of
Scotland; and through the medium of the railways whitdt MVO their
termini in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the line will be conflieted with
the several Scotch Trunk lines, extending from these cities tO the
northern, western, and eastern counties.
The traffic in goods between Leeds and Glasgow alone (independ-
ently of that with the other towns and ports in Scotland) is of a very
1 large amount ; cud the facilities afforded by the proposed line will
, necessarily attract to the intermediate towns, and to Scotland gene-
-1 rally, the supply of goods from the manufacturing districts in York-
' shire.
The distance between Leeds and London will be very materially
reduced by the lines already in progrete through Parliament, and the
Leeds and Carlisle must necessarily form a portion of the Trunk
Railway for the traffic between London and Scotland.
The line will connect Hull and the Humber directly with the Sol-
way Firth, a mercantile object of very considerable impedance.
. A new and cheap mode of transit will be obtained for the extensive
agricultural produce of the rich vales through which the line passes, ,
1 and which produce, et present, notwithstanding the demand in the
, manufacturing districts cannot be forwarded to the different markets
fOr want of railway communication. A large and profitable traffic
will be derived from the produce of the extensive mineral districts
~pened by the line. and the working of which has hitherto, in come
instances, been rendered impracticable by the cost of transit, and In I
-II has been greatly impeded.
A survey has been made, sad the Parliamentary plans and sections
Ire in progress, and the engineers have undertaken to have them
....ompleted in the course of next months,

The important line of railway proposed by this Company will com-
mence at Tullamere, the assize town of King's County, where It
will form a junction with the Great Western Railway of Ireland,
proceeding by Frankford to Parsonstown, and from thence to and
terminate at or near Portumna Bridge, in the county of Tipperary.
The line will traverse a rich and populous country, and by its junc-
tion with the Great Southern and Western and the Dublin and Gal-
way ltailways, complete a chain of direct lines of railway between
the metropolis of Ireland and the river Shannon, and afford the
advantages of the improved system of intercommunication to en
extensive district untouched by any existing or other projected.
railway.
This facility of intercommunication is imperatively demanded to
connect the populous towns of Frankford, Kenniffy, Clonaslee, Pitr-
sonstown, Banagher, Eyrecourt, Cloghan, Ferbane, Shinrone, For-
tumna, and Borrisokane, with the city of Dublin on the east, and the
port of Galway on the west, and the object will be effected by the
construction of a direct line of railway, not exceeding 25 miles in
length, passing through a country free from engineering difficulties,
and avoiding competition with other lines.
The large amount of traffic at present existing between Dublin and
the towns in immediate connexion with the proposed line, with the
great increase which must flow as a necessary consequence of the
completion of the work, insure a highly remunerative return on the
capital required to be embarked.
A detailed prospectus will be issued on Tuesday. In the interim
applications may be addressed to Alexander M`Neil, Esq., stock-
broker, 20, Ely-place, Dublin ; Landon, Charles Bennett, jun., Esq.,

miles, and it will pass through fifteen •of the richest departments of
France, the population of which exceeds six millions of inhabitants.

comment, and it is only necessary to state that four-fifths of the capi-
tal for the Duc de Caumont la Force's Company is already sub-
scribed in France.
The remaining fifth has been reserved for England, and imme-
diate application for the shares is requisite.

Posit money will be returned to the Shareholders forthwith, deduct-
ing only sixpence per share for expenses.

of the astonished Governor. Upon the general contents of these
we have not leisure or space, at present, to offer any
commentary. It is, however, impossible not to remark, by
the way, that for the life of us we cannot -see in what the
offence of these civilians consists. If the authorities and their
servants in all our other colonies, turned their money to no
worse account, and devoted their leisure to no more objection-
able pursuits, than to purchase lands in those colonies, and
to superintend their cultivation, we fancy that even the mis-
chievous ingenuity of Lord STANLEY'S administrative mis-
management would be neutralised. If public servants in
our colonies, in addition to that average amount of common
sense which does not seem necessarily to attach to those whom
Lord STANLEY calls " their official superiors" at home, were at
once practically conversant with, and personally interested
in, the agriculture and husbandry of the regions in which
they happened to be established; we rather believe that the
very happiest consequences would follow. A few scions of
our best aristocratic gentry, in the colonies—the trans-
planting of some such intelligent men of family and business
and first-rate farmers as Mr. PUSEY, for example, the Pre-
sident of the ROYAL AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION—wouId
not a little improve the transaction of Government business,
and very largely advance the science of practical agriculture
throughout the Government jurisdiction. Indeed, we are
bold to believe that the settlement and example of one
such individual, in a country so abundant in all
mineral wealth and tropical products as Ceylon,
would accomplish more for the interests of that flue
island in ten years, than the continuance of Lord
STANLEY In office, in Downing-street, could accomplish in a
thousand. By a happy fatuity it is upon Ceylon that Lord
STANLEY commences his experiments of official reform ; be-
cause no 'example can be adduced of a colony in which the
mismanagement of the great officers of the Crown at home
has been so signallycontrasted with the more sagacious treat-
ment extended to it by the servants of a commercial com-
pany, as this island of Ceylon. But let that pass for the
present. It is imagined in Downing-street, that if gentlemen
holding civil appointments there presume also to possess and
look after estates on which they have coffee plantations,
their attention must be mischievously distracted from the due
discharge of their public duties. If the fine old hunting
establishment at the Oaks were still maintained, and Lord
1 STANLEY himself were now out three times a week with his

late grandfathei's bounds (as we have known him to be since
he knew Downing-street), we are much mistaken if one word
would have emanated from him, on this occasion, touching
the incompatibility of official duties with the ordinary ma-
nagement of landed property. But those days of more in-
nocent and—we really must add—much more harmless
excitement seem to have gone by for Lord STANLEY. His
evil star will not permit him to leave well alone. He could
not keep his fingers off New Zealand, but he first raised a poli-
tical blister on its'system in the shape of his chosen Governor,
Captain Frrzuov ; and has since, in his efforts to reduce it,
operated by such a counter-irritation as the encouragement
afforded by his imbecile proceedings to the gentle HEEL.
Ceylon was doing somewhat better than of late, when Lord
STANLEY issues his fiat that civil servants holding landed
estates there must dispose of them within two years. Why,
my Lord ? Your accusation against the parties is not a posi-
tive one ; yon do not venture to tax them in terms with the
specific offence of having neglected their public duty in look-
ing after their private property; for in a subsequent dispatch,
alluding to the "incidental mention" you have found "in a
letter, of several officers of the Government being constantly
absent from the capital at their coffee plantations,"
your Lordship proceeds thus :—" I am happy to feel
myself relieved from the necessity of inquiring into
the truth or falsehood of this statement." Good. But
why, then, act upon it precisely on the assumption that
it is true? If you suppose it false, why inflict this arbitrary,
this Oriental sentence of alienation of their property on the
parties? If you are uncertain whether the statement be
false or true, why deal with it exactly as you would if every
tittle of it were affirmatively substantiated by your own con-
viction ? There is much of the characteristic irritability,
precipitancy, and (we add, with pain) injustice of the Noble
Secretary in this inconsistent proceeding. But let us look at
what his Lordship's charges are, when they are re-
reduced into something less ambiguous than a Sybilline
denunciation. His Lordship imputes to the gentlemen con-
nected with the Cingalese Civil Departments, " a low state of
public feelitig." What, does he imagine the public at large,
and the Conservative party in particular, think of the tone
of his own public feeling, when it leads him to exhibit him-
self, for years together, in the leading-strings of a political
nurse of no higher character than Sir J. Gnaliam? The
civil servants are reproached further, " with a want of energy
and proper pride." (Strike us " New. Zealand " and
" Jamaica," out of -the failures recorded of official imbecility
and disingenuous tampering, my Lord, and then, if you
please, talk of " energy " and " proper pride.") They are
reproved for being wanting in the zeal, without which ser-
vices cannot be advantageous to the people, or acceptable to
the Government." What is his Lordship's construction of zeal?
No reproath, for ought that he states, justly attaches to them
for any defect of honest and even hearty intentions in the cause
of their country. The feeling which engenders these intentions
we respect as a generous zeal. But if Lord STANLEY quar-
rels with these gentlemen because they are not bigoted par-
tizans in all the movements of religious or political party—
because they express themselves with temperance and
moderation, and a solicitude for the feelings of others, instead
of with ill dissembled resentment, vehement rashness, and a
bitterness reckless of all the pain it may cause or the mis-
chiefs it may sow, we congratulate the gentlemen of Ceylon for
having left behind them in England—even if Lord STANLEY
should happen to have taken to it—such an unworthy and
unstatesmanlike qualification.

Intelligence has been received at Liverpool from Monte
Video to the 10th of July. It appears from this that an
ultimatum had been sent in on the previous day to ROW,
demanding a categorical answer in 72 hours. On the after-
noon of the 10th this was confirmed to the British merchants
by Mr. TURNER, the British Charge d'Affaires, who read to
the Chairman of their Committee a dispatch from Mr.
OUSELEY, dated the 9th of July, to the effect that " the
Baron DEFFAUDIS and Mr. OUSELEY had finally demanded the
withdrawal of the Argentine troops from before Monte
Video, and the retirement of the Argentine squadron ;"
that they also offered their mediation to the Monte Videan
Government for the purpose of arranging a definitive peace
between the two republics. The result remains to be seen,
but it is not likely that ROSAS will continue to brave the
power of England and France.

By the arrival of the packet-ship Henry, we have ac-
counts from New York to the 6th inst. There is a good deal
of discusssion, mixed with a little boasting, in the papers
about a war with Mexico, and preparations are in progress
for the anticipated contest. A call has been made on the
Governor of Florida to furnish 800 men to go to Texas.
The New Orleans papers give detailed accounts of the
movements of the military in and for Texas, from which it
appears that troops are fast gathering in that country for the
purpose of opposing the Mexicans, and according to accounts
from Vera Cruz, the Mexican troops, amounting to between
10,000 and 15,000 men, including a large proportion of cavalry,
had received orders to march to the Texan frontier,
and take their position ten leagues east, or on
the Texan bank of the Rio del Norte. The domestic
intelligence in the American papers is without much interest.
The Caledonia steamer, which reached New York on the 4th
inst., had brought out large orders for flour and corn. The
cotton market was firm, with prices a shade higher, and the
exchange on England at 93/4 to 10.

The Madridjournals of the 19th are chiefly occupied with
discussion's relative to the marriage of the QUEEN and her
sister. According to most of them the most probable result
will be the marriage of her MAJESTY with Prince FERDI-
NAND of Saxe Coburg, and that of the Infanta LOUISA
with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. The former is not a
matter of very great importance, for from all accounts the
QUEEN is of a very weakly constitution, but the other,
should the report be well founded, ;will cause no little ex-
citement throughout Europe. It is one of Lon
darling objects, and he seldom fails, The am tog% Beraldo,
and some other journals, urge no okection against tilo mar-
riage, in fact advert to it with satisfaction ; and, probably,
for a ",sufficient reason," it would be difficult, however, to
reconcile Aastria, Russia, and Prussia, not to mentiott Great
Britain, to such an alliance. Cie the Ulth ag business was
done publicly on the Bourse, which is thus adverted to in a
letter from Madrid :

" The state of our Bourse is certainly curious ; but it dqes not
4ppear tp be well understood in foreign mtrin. As the official list
proins nU footaliour, it is supposed that no business is done, and
that our Funds have fallen to the ♦ery lowest point of degradation.
This is quite a mistake; it is true that the Bourse of Madrid is ex-
ceedingly paralysed, but it is not exact that no operations take place.
Business is done, but the account of it is not published,"

The v4lrl}ajaaanouace the return of another Con-
servative candidate to the Chamber of Deputies, M. DE
BELLEYME, by the electoral college of Vendome. There
were four candidates in the field—two Conservatives; one
belonging to the Left, aiati the fctuTtil k,gitimgist, At the
first §OOlY-0q lopneV7 lArttely, M. DE BELLEYME and
M. DIOAAIGNES, were highest on the poll, but as neither had
an absolute majority, a second contest took place, when M.
DE BELLEYME waa returned by a majority of 42, the Tippers
being resl),9qoY ?4 ttnq ?44, Thep cir. ciniclikiates were

Opposition journal&

Tie
Journal des Debats contains an article on the protest
of the Irish Catholic prelates against the Accid.ewieepili, in
which. it states that gip itewinstitutionwill, in all probability,
tLitimpli over the hostility of Mr. O'CONNELL and a part of
the bishops, and this protest will serve no other purpose than
to bring to light the division which prevails even among the
chiefs of the Irish Church. According to some of the jour-
nals, Marshal BUGEAUP having been got rid of by the Go-
vernment, a new system will be adopted in the management
of Algeria, by which the supreme control will rest with the
Ministry, and no longer be virtually given up to the military
gpyempc. OR subject the .fre4se
f` flithertp the a4'airs of that colony have been exclusively
Under the control of the Minister of War, and consequently the
Governor of Algeria has been necessarily under the War depart-
ment the arbitrary dispenser of power, and the sole administrator.
All this is to be speedily changed by the French' Government in
general, and not the Minister of War exclusively, taking it into its
bands, according to its respective departments, the administration
of the colony, and treating it as It does the departments of the in-
terior, each Minister hgaing his speCial control over the lyartches
which regard his office. When this project shall have been com-
pleted it can matter comparatiyely little' wh'n- is the Ooyeipoi-
rfeilirsi of 41.1keria, foilw can have oo Opportunity of trying a
system of his own, either with or without the concurrence of his
nominal superior,"
The following are miscellaneous extracts

"A letter from Eu states that the Duke and Duchess de We

mours had arrived at the chateau on the evening of the tad inst.
It is said the King will not remain much longer at Eu, but that his
Majesty and the Royal Family will reside at St. Cloud for some
time before they take up their residence at the Tuileries for the
winter. The Duke de Montpensier is expected home before 'the
6th of next month, in order that he may be present at the family
fete on the occasion of the anniversary of the King's birth-day. The
Duke d'Aumale arrived at Rouen on Wednesday morning, and
immediately proceeded to Eu.

" The State Gazette of Lucerne gives an account of a Congress
held on the 15th and 16th instant at Zug, of fifty-seven of the
most distinguished Catholic inhabitants of the thirteen Catholic
cantons; 'at which,' says that journal, all deelared themselves
ready to sacrifice their lives and properties in defence of their
faith, against the attacks at present made on it.' They also unani-
mously declared that, while exacting every guarantee for the
rights of the confessional, and the free exercise of their own wor-
ship, they would not in any wise infringe on the rights of the Pro-
testants.'

"On Wednesday, about two o'clock, Antoine, the man who mur.
dered Lieutenant Aubree, was seen, by a corporal of the same re-
giment, crossing the Place d'Armes at Versailles. The alarm was
given, and he was immediately pursued, but before hands could be
laid on him, he took a pistol from his pocket and blew his
brains out.

EnEcriox OF LORD MAYOR.—We perceive by an address,
published in another column, that Mr. Alderman Wood, the
senior alderman in rotation, will be at his post on Monday
next, to solicit the suffrages of his fellow-citizens for the
high and important office of Lord Mayor of the City of Lon-
don. That he will be returned by the Livery to the Court
of Aldermen by a triumphant majority, as he always has
been, there can be no doubt; and we are at a loss to conceive
what reason the Court of Aldermen can give for rejecting
him. We shall, dpubtless, be told of his connexion with the
Talacre Company, and the dangerof disgraceto the City from
the fact of one whose liabilities, as connected with that Company,
are so great occupying the Civic chair. This argument has
been used with powerful effect on former occasions. It is,
however, now perfectly inapplicable. We have reason to
know that Mr. Alderman Wood has discharged every liabi-
lity to which he was subjected in consequence of his con-
nexion with the Talacre Company; that he has a legal dis-
charge from every creditor of that Company who had any
legal claim upon him ; and that Sir Peter Laurie himself is
in quite as much danger from the creditors of the Talacre
Coal Company as Mr. Alderman Wood. Is it because be
embarked in that speculation that he is to be considered as
an improper person to hold the highest civic office? Let the
other "most potent, grave, and reverend seignors" of the
Court of Aldermen beware ! How many of them hold shares
in various joint-stock companies at the present moment? Do
they consider themselves disqualified thereby; or is it only
when shares are at a discount that the holder of them is
" not to be endured?" We are' obliged to make these
"guesses" in the dark at: the cause of the pertinacious rejec-
tion, by the Court of Aldermen, of the claims of Mr. Alder-
man Wood, because, although his opponents have dealt freely
in insinuations and inuendois, they have been very chary in
making distirct charges. Whenever they have ventured to
do so those charges have been invariably met and refuted.
By his legal acquirements Alderman Wood is exactly
suited for the office of Chief Magistrate of the City of Lon-
don, and that is most probably the reason why the Court of
Aldermen reject him. How else can we account for those
straining at Mr. Alderman Wood who could gulp down Gibbs,
the "unaccountable."

His Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived in town this
morning, by a special train of the Great Western Railway,
and attended a meeting of the Duchy of Cornwall-office, in
Somerset House. The Prince lunched at Buckingham
Palace, and in the afternoon took his departure on his return
to Windsor Castle ?
