by the Projectors, Managers, and Shareholders of Railways,

pilatioa on " Railway Law." These are really valuable con-
tributions to one of the most important departments of our
economic literature.

f
What with the monster repeal meetings in the south o
Ireland, and the manifestoes of the Orangemen in the north,
the Government of Sir R. PEEL must find no little difficulty
in preserving anything like impartial dealing between the
two factions. The Premier, however, is fortunate in his
choice of a Lord-Lieutenant, who is a man not likely to be
swayed either by abuse or flattery, who has had much ex-
perience in settling the disputes of contending parties in
foreign states, and who can bear a great many hard words
without reply or even suffering his temper tO be ruffled.
Such a patient disposition is much wanted at the present
time, for abuse is heaped either upon him or his employers
almost without intermission, and it is a curious fact that of
the two accusing bodies the most violent by far is that repre-
sented by the mild, religious, and Protestant Earl of RODEN.
He has just issued a proclamation to the Protestants of the
British empire, which though not so violent in its
language, far surpasses any document of the
kind ever issued by Mr. O'CONNELL in regard
to the grievous charges made against Sir ROBERT PEEL.
From beginning to end it. is one continued theme of abuse,
with perhaps the exception of episodes setting forth the
loyalty of that Orange body, which, under its distinguished
patron, during the last reign had been all but convicted of
high treason. The Noble Earl recounts with evident sorrow
the suppoit given to PEEL at the elections -which turned
out the Whigs. "There were indeed," says he, " misgivings
among some sagacious observers of events ; but the greater
number buried the past in oblivion, and again trusted those
who had disappointed them ." This alludes to the Emanci-
pation Bill, when they were betrayed by the Minister whom
high Orangemen delighted to call the " traitor Judas." We
have then a long list of grievances which they impute still to •
that obnoxious personage. Among others
_the grant to
Maynooth, the national system of education, the refusal of
PEEL to grant public money for the education of the
children of the Protestant poor, the Academies Bill, the dis-
missal
of loyal Protestant magistrates, and the encourage-
ment of the " bold and the bad." Such are the epithets ap-
plied by Lord RODEN to seven millions of his fellow-subjects-
"ln fact," exclaims the persecuted Orangeman, "we are
compelled to the startling conclusion by manifold proofs,
that the policy of the Minister is to attempt to govern Ire-
land by the Roman Catholic party, and cannot but appre-
hend that heavier blows and greater discouragements are still
in store for us." In other words—"MELBouENE scourged
us with whips, but PEEL scourges us with scorpions." It is
gratifying to find, however, that punishment has not been
inflicted without good results. There is no recommendation
to restore the old dangerous and treasonable Orange Club,
but there is an injunction to remain united, and give their
principles effect, not in secret conclaves, but in the arena of
the House of Commons. It is, in fact, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S
own recipe—Register, register—a fair and legitimate mode
of serving their ends, and to which no other party can rea-
sonably object. Let Lord RODEN adhere to this scheme for
protecting Protestant interests, leave off the rabid abuse of
his neighbours, and the insolent vanity of claiming all
loyalty, all true religion, and all merit to himself and col-
leagues, and then he will find even those who oppose him
ready to meet him on fair terms, and not a few cf them go
along with him in support of the Protestant faith.

Madrid journals of the 14th state that the Cortes Will be
summoned to meet in December, for the purpose of receiving
the Budget and hearing the Finance Minister's details of the
working of the new system of taxation. The accounts from
the provinces were favourable, and the capital remained tran-
quil. Despotism, it appears, suits the Spanish taste better
than liberty.

night.

Accounts from Paris announce a great fall in the funds
and shares on Monday. A sort of panic, in fact, had taken
place at the commencement of business, which was rather
moderated towards the close, but still everything was flat,
end prices were greatly depressed, as compared with those
of Saturday and the whole of the preceding week. Every
one offered to sell, and scarcely a buyer was to be
found. The Three per Cents. closed at 50c. and the Fives
40c. lower than on Saturday. The railway shares, espe-
cially those for important lines, have fallen much more in
proportion. The Northern line had suffered most, and in
the course of a week had fallen fully M.; and the sub-
joined at the following rates :—Boulogne and Amiens,
30f. ; Avignon and Marseilles, 25f. ; Rouen and
Havre, 22f. 50c. ; Orleqns and Bourdeaux, 20f. ; and
Rouen nearly 19f. From the excitement that prevailed
still lower prices vi ere anticipated. No political cause is
assigned by the papers generally, though one of them seems
to infer that the retirement of Marshal SOULT may have had
some effect. The principal causes seem to be the fall in the
English funds, and the notice of the Bank of England for
raising the rate of discount. Relative to the anticipated re-
signation of Souisr, the Presse says If we are rightly in-
formed, all the earnest representations made yester-
day, in the Council of Ministers, to Marshal the
Duke DE DALMATIE, could not prevail upon him to re-
nounce a resolution that he laid before it, to retire and
devote himself exclusively to the care of his health. His col-
leagues are said to have ineffectually urged him to retain at
least the Presidency of the Council, giving over to a succes-
sor in the Ministry of 'War the burden of that department.
The Marshal, however, persisted in declaring that he had
amply paid his debt of duty to his country, and acquired a
right to repose for the rest of his days. However incon-
testable the grounds of this answer may be, the Cabinet has
not yet lost all hope of retaining its illustrious Presi-
dent." The difficulty of finding a successor has been in-
creased by the late strange conduct of Marshal BUGEAUD,
who was said to be destined for the situation, and who, ac-
cording to the National, continues as unmanageable as ever.
" It is affirmed," says that journal, "that Marshal Bu-
G EAUD has addressed to the Cabinet, before his departure
from Marseilles, a note relative to the disavowal of his letter
to the Prefect of the Dordogne, and to the instructions
which have been sent him as to the conduct he is to pursue
in Algeria. This note is not less haughty than his famous
letter, loth in substance and shape. He insists, above all,
with much irony upon the impossibility of pursuing and
capturing ABD- EL-KADER, as the Ministry instructed him
"to do, with the view of escaping before the Chambers
the heavy responsibility they have assumed by the
treaty of Tangiers. As for capturing ABD-EL-KADAB,
he acknowledges that so important a capture would create
in France a prodigious sensation; that it would confer peat
weight on the Cabinet, and enable it victoriously to answer
such as will reproach it with the deplorable consequences of
the treaty of Tangiers; but to dream at this moment of
capturing ABD-EL-KADER, and of an expedition into
Morocco until he he overtaleen and destroyed, one must
never has-e set one's foot in Algeria, and not have the
slightest notion of the country. Marshal BUGEAUD
has, it is said, displayed the utmost verve, and
the utmcst irony in this part of his dispatches.
In communicating it to the Council, M. G UIZOT maintained
all. his composure, but M. Cusus GRIDAINE, whose indiscre-
tion has disclosed the details we have published, said that the
bearing M. &GE-11;1;S letter read had made him perspire!'
In truth, M. Buurssuu has treated the Ministr3 with great
disdain, and so far from having removed some of the odium
causer.' by his confidential epistle, he has but aggravated it,
by a manifestation more familiar, it is true, but more direct
and scornful. The Ministry has, however, bent more
humbly under the remonstrances of its revolted vizier."
According to the papers, the Emperor of RUSSIA had takenl
another of those rapid and unexpected flights for which he
has become so celebrated. This last exploit beats completely
that y which he surprised the Queen of ENGLAND, no less
than I is loyal subjects at St. Petersburgh. But the other
day he was on the shores of the Black Sea, and by this time,
probably, he has surprised the EMPRESS by his sudden ap-
pearance in Italy. The following letters from Sebastorol
and Milan, leave no doubt of this new freak :
" SEBASTOPOL, SEPT. 26.—The Emperor of Russia arrived in
this town by sea, on his way from Nicolaief. In this latter town
eleven ships of war were launched in his presence. He afterwards
paid s visit to the Rosklaff ship of war of 84 guns, which he ex-
amin-d minutely. The following day a frigate called the Kovarna,
and a brig of war called the Orpheus, were launched in his pre.
sence. in these two days thirteen ships of war were thus added
to the Russian navy in the Black Sea. The greatest activity is ob-
served in all the arsenals at Sebastopol. The Emperor had an in-
terview with Prince Woronzoff before leaving Sebastopol. The
Emperor has given up his intended voyage to Moscow, and goes
from 1 are by Karkef, Kief, and Cracow, to join the Empress in
Italy. The Emperor has published an ukase appointing the Here-
ditary Grand Duke regent in his absence. Count Ncsselrode ac-
companies the Emperor on his journey, and will remain in Italy till
the end of the year."
" MILAN, OCT. 14.—1 t has been already stated that the Empress
of Russia was expected here to day. We have just learned that
she will probably be accompanied by the Emperor himself. This
news ws Ino doubt astonish you ; for, according to the latest ad.
vice, his Majesty was on the shores of the Black Sea, where he
had ordered Prince de Woronzoff to meet him. It appears that
the journey of the Emperor has been as rapid as that which he
made in his visit to London. He studiously avoided Vienna,
and would not, it is said, pass through Prague, where is
the Archdae Stephen, Governor of Bohemia, who declined, as
is well known, the honour of entering the Imperial family of
itussia, by refusing to marry the Grand Duchess Olga, an
alliance which the Emperor desired so ardently. His
coming to the Empress, however unexpected it might be,
has probably surprised neither the Empress nor the persons
of her suite, fes these sudden visits of the Emperor are not un-
usual. He sometimes even comes in disguise, and has himself, as
a courtier, handed a letter to the Empress. He has assumed the
dress of a private brigadier of gendarmerie, and it is said that
once, when the Empress went with her suite to visit the cabin of a
military colonist, isr a country where she happened to be for the
first time, she was /*tuck with astonishment at beholding under
the coarse cloak oft private soldier the Emperor, holding by the
hand his two children, also disguised. Hence, when travelling,
the Empress, and all the persons who accompany her, are always
on their guard. A courier who arrives, a stranger presenting
himself suddenly, a clew' of dust on the road, give birth to con-
jectures relative to the !emperor's arrival, and this continual ex..
pcctation of surprise causes an anxiety and emotion to every one,
which embarrass considerably the courtiers and household of the
imperial family of Russia."
The following a,e cellaneons extracts from the
papers :

Africa will leave the French ports successively for Goree, where
Rear-Admiral Melatagnes will take the command of the division.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1845.

" The Minister of the Interior arrived in Paris on Saturday

_
" Count Rambutesu, Prefect of the Seine, returned to Paris
on Saturday from London, and immediately resumed the exercise

" A letter from Vienna of the 13th states that the Emperor of
Russia hal arrived on the previous day in a small village three
leagues from Vienna, and proceeded immediately for Inspruck.
" We learn by a letter from Berlin, of the 14th, that there Is
great scarcity of money iu that city, and that the bankers have all
raised the rate of discount.

"The following is an extract of a letter from Carlsruhe, dated the
16th of October M. Ronge, and his colleague, Devial, left
here yesterday for Constance. Some of the inhabitants accompa-
nied him to the railway station, but the enthusiasm in his favour
was not very great. The Archbishop of Trybourg, the head of
the Catholic party in the Duchy of Baden, still refuses to cele-
brate mixed marriages, notwithstanding the orders of the Govern-
ment, if the parties do not agree to bring up the children in the
Catholic faith. Steps are to be taken against the Bishop in the
course of the approaching session.",

MATCH BETWEEN TWO OF THE FASTEST GALLO-
WAYS IN ENGLAND FOR Two HUNDRED POUNDS.—Yesterday
afternoon the race between Red Robin and Pocket Venus
came off over the last mile of Epsom Race-course, and was

decided in favour of the former.
DISTURBANCES AT THE MARYLEBONE THEATRE.--
Yesterday a man named William Ashmore was brought be-
fora Mr. Rawlinson, at Marylebone, upon the following
charge :—On the previous evening the Royal Marylebone
Theatre was much crowded, owing to a vary attractive bill of
performance which the management had issued, and amongst
the pieces played was the favourite drama of Oliver Twist.
In that portion of the second act in which Master Oliver is
ushered into the presence of the renowned Mr. Fagan, one of
the "gods," occupying the centre of the front seat aloft, and
who felt most oppressively warm from the squeezing and
pushing he was subjected to, threw off his coat, when, in en-
deavouring to lay it down by his side, it somehow or other
slipped from his hand, and fell into the regions below. A
number of persons, with the view of recovering the said gar-
ment, tied together as many pocket-handkerchit fs as would
extend nearly from Temple-bar to Bridge-street, and amine
diately lowered the knotted string of bandannas, &c., amid
loud cries of " Tie one end round the coat, my boys, and we'll
haul him up in a twinkling !" Some little delay was caused
in transacting the business required, when the prisoner swore
that he would have his coat returned to him at all
events, at the same time saying that if he didn't get it
directly he would throw himself over ar d get it: He had
scarcely uttered the words, when he laid hold of the iron rail-
ing round the gallery, and, clinging thereto with both hands,
threw his legs over to the outside. The pitites beneath him
seeing him in such a situation, were in the greatest alarm and
confusion, and many of them, fearing that he would put his
threat into execution, climbed up the boxes, and in other
ways made their retreat. The prisoner was taken into cus-
tody, and made use of such extremely violent and abusive
language as to render it absolutely necessary that he should
be conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Rawlinson ordered
the prisoner to find bail for his keeping the peace for the next
I six months.
LOUGH CORRIB IMPROVEMENTS.—We have noticed
with much pleasure, during the summer season and up to
this period, the improvements in progress on Lough Corrib,
and we have beheld, with no little satisfaction, that while
the bed of the river has been considerabley deepened, and the
obstructions removed, employment has been afforded to a
very numerous body of our labouring population. It is now
our duty to state that the embankment has been completed,
and the remainingp art of the operations are in
such a state offorwardness as to give an assurance
that they will soon be brought' to a close. When
first this undertaking was commenced, we did not
look upon it in the most favourable light, but, as it advanced,
we saw its usefulness, and while the government survey gave
us a few figures along the banks of the river, in return for
the money advanced for the prosecution of their inquiries,
we have, under the present management, substantial im-
Kovernents to point out. We trust, that, before the spring,
we shall have the entire work finished and the waters of the
splendid lake made available for the purposes of commerce.
It is an inland sea, which now runs almost waste, but must
shortly become useful and profitable to the community.—
Galway Mercury.
PRICE OF lioLn.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 1 per male, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 511, it follows that gold i 5.0.53 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 7i ; and the exchange at llamburgh on London at
short being 13 8, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
THE NEW PIER AT DLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.—This
pier, which has been for a considerable time in progress, was
opened to the public yesterday. It is a most commodious
and substantial structure, being 140 feet in length, with a
dumb lighter placed in a right angle to the river of 130 feet.
They have both been so constructed as not in the slightest
degree to interfere with the navigation or current of the river.
Two waiting rooms have also been built, which, with the
pier itself, will be lighted with gas. Six persons have been
appointed to attend the pier, who were on Monday sworn in
at Guildhall as constables, to act in that capacity if deemed
necessary, and be entirely under the control of the City autho-
rities. Their dress will be uniform, and each will bear a
number, so that any complaint may be at once inquired into.
The sum of 6d. will be charged every time a boat calls at the
_ pier until such time as the cot of its construction is defrayed.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXC HAN GE.-W EDNESDAY
Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has reached us
since Monday ; hence the show of samples here to-day was
rather limited. The finest qualities of both red and white
commanded a fteady sale, at full rates of currency. In other
kinds comparatively little business was transacted. Free
foreign Wheat was in fair request, and previous quotations
were well supported. For corn, under lock, there was more
inquiry, and prices had an upward tendency. The sales for all
kinds °Marley were firm,but we can notice no alteration in value
Superfine Malt moved'off steadily ; other kinds slowly, at
late rates. The Oat trade was very firm, at fully the advance
noticed last week. Beans, Peas, and Flour, were more in
request, and the turn dearer.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were rather
limited, and (lid not exceed 1,000 bales. The market was
quiet and prices were steady. The Share Market was very
heavy, and prices in some instances much lower.
The Times may take credit for its advice to the public not
to engage in speculative railway schemes; and the advice
is really goal. And so have we, under this head, done the
same on many occasions before our Morning Contemporary
took up the question. But there is a point which the " City
Corre.spondent" of the Times puts forward, to the prejudice of
an extension of the railways, which is Lot warranted by facts.
The deposits upon allotments already closed hare been made,
and without question the caution-money, as the term is, is
ready for handbag over to the Accountant-General upon
nineteen out of every twenty of the projects started some
time back. To assume that the private and joint-stock
banks have been recklessly advancing money upon scrips
deposited with them, and that, when pay-day comes,
there will be difficulties, is a position which will not be
realised. As the deposits upon the principal companies for
new railways that are likely to pass the standing orders
are already made,', it is not anticipated that any other
severe. pressure upon the Money' Market will be expe-
rienced than which may, to a limited extent, be said to be felt

The letter of Mr. Charles Pearson to the Chair-
man of the Committee of City Lands on the sub-
ject, and in approval of termini being formed for
the Direct Manchester and the London and Birming-
ham Railways, in Farringdon-street, and, which
appeared in The Sun of last evening, has been a subject of
very general conve-sation in " City circles" this morning.
Mr. Pearson most truly and correctly asks those connected
with the Corporation to " look at home," and improve, by all
means in their power, the interests of those who gave them
power and ikfluence, whether as Aldermen or Common Coun-
cilmen, and not be so lavish in lending their names to ad-
vance railway and other schemes, which, in many instances,
if carried out, must tend to damage the interests " of the
City of London and the trade thereof." The admonition of
the " City Solicitor" is considered by most reflective people
to be exceedingly well timed.
There are Graham's Town papers, at the North and South
American Coffee-house this morning, to the 25th August last.
The Katirs continue their depradations upon farmers, and a
general meeting had been held, at which resolutions were
passed, claiming further protection from the Government. It
ought to be mentioned that the chief of the Kafir tribe com-
pelled restitution to be made when the robbers were traced,
or the cattle, &c., identified. The markets in Graham's Town
were brisk.
The Cousol Market has been rather firm to-day. Money
stock is less plentiful, and the Bear party apparently indis-
posed to operate further. Consols for Money have ruled from
97% to 97%, and for the Account from 97% to 971,4. The
premium upon Exchequer-bills has been rather steady at
425. to 455., and India Bonds have advanced to 595. premium.
The Reduced Three-per-Cents. have rallied a fraction. Bank
Stock has advanced from 2051 A to 207, and the Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 98% to 98%.
In the Foreign Stocks the transactions continue to be very
trifling. Spanish Stock has fallen from 2614 to 2514 for the
Actives, and the Deferred to 153%. Dutch fwo and-a-Half
per Cents. opened at 58% %, and have since receded to 58.
Old Portuguese are quoted at 51. Mexican met with a heavy
sale at 31%; and the Equador Stock, at 414.
Great caution is shown in the Railway Share market in
entertaining bargains in any but the best shares or scrips.
All doubtful projects will soon be at zero.
