M )rning .. 41 minutes after 11 Evening .. 0 minutes after a

on the Government side. An Irish county has lately
been called upon to exercise its franchise. The county
of Down, where the present Lord DOWNSHIRE has
been succeeded by his brother ; and how far the Devon
• shire family support the policy or rEtt. inay be gathered
from Lord DEVONSHIRE'S having lately presided at the
great Orange Enniskillen demonstration. The voices of
small boroughs are Sir R. PEEL'S consolation for the
disclaimers of county and large borough constituencies.
He takes care to select and to shift the members of his
Government, so that a powerful patron or a large purse
shall secure their small constituencies, however the
opinions of the Government may change ; and the
mighty public mind of Chichester, Cir:ncester, and the
like gives its sanction to the Peel policy.
The recent appointment of Mr. DARBY to be one of
the Inclosure Commissioners will make a vacancy in the
representation of East Sussex, and there is no doubt
that East Sussex will folb,w the example of other coun-
ties, in making it a sine qua non for the Tory candidate
to abjure the Peel policy. The Sussex paper announces
Mr. FREWEN as a candidate, who lately bid for
Kent on anti-Maynooth and agricultural protection
grounds. Mr. FREWEN'S estates in Sussex are more
extensive than in? Kent„ and he will probably
be the Tory candidate to succeed Mr. DARBY.
It is well known that Lord DELAWARR has
coveted this seat for his son Lord CANTALUPE, since
Lord CANTALUPE'S rejection at Lewes; but the son of
Lord DELAWARR would have to go to the Sussex far-
mers a thorough supporter of PEEL; and that would be
"no go." The West Sussex farmers do not benefit by
Lord ARTHUR LENNOX'S good berth at the Ordnance,
and the other jobs which the Duke of RICHMOND'S
show of opposition to the Government policy enables
him to effect with the Government. So the west Sussex
farmers are not likely to acquiese so quietly in the re-
turn of a Peelite as is convenient for the Duke of RICH-
MOND at Chichester.

It is some time since we first endeavoured to impress
upon the public our own conviction that the " Woods
and Forests" department of the Government, under the
chief commissionership of the Earl of LINCOLN, required
to be narrowly watched, The successive specimens it
had afforded of incapacity, vacillation, bad taste, and
misapprehension of the public feeling and sentiment
with reference to the erection of the NELSON column in
its present locality; the difficulties thrown in the way of
executing that beautiful work according to the original
design of the architect ; the insulting reason assigned
for refusing to allow the long-promised banquet to be
given at its base to the surviving veterans of Trafalgar
(namely, that the festive re-union of so many ancient
tars might compromise the public peace!); the monstrous
puerilities perpetrated under the Department's express
patronage and encouragement, in the shape of the tiny
fountains which disgrace, and the enormous basons
which encumber, the " finest site in Europe" (the one
bearing to the other much the same relation as Falstaff's
halfpennyworth of bread to all his gallons of sack); the
mock-asphalte pavement of the great, starring, deso-
late plafonde or rea, already disintegrating, and
subsiding into unsightly hollows and patches ;
these were so many accumulated evidences of
inveterate Vandalism in a public board which (by
an extravagant official fiction) is supposed to be specially
competent to the direction and superintendence of such
of our national edifices, streets, parks, &c., as come
within its ample jurisdiction or statutable commission.
But the volunteer crusade undertaken by the Earl of
LINCOLN against the hereditary rights, at common law
and by custom, of the poor of this country in common
and waste lands, we have, as often as the matter has
been brought under our notice, di nounced, as about the
most unjust and unpopular measure which a member
of any Government, professing to act in a generous and
popular spirit, ever set in motion. By dexterous
management the Commons Inclosure Bill, after attract-
ing in the Lower House a great deal of abstract con-
demnation, and being impeded in its progress by the
practical obstacles of a few stout divisions, was adroitly
dawdled on, through all its preliminary stages, till, by
reason of the very weariness excited in those who had
resisted it by reiterated postponements, explanations,
&c., it slipped through a third reading and passed, with-
out disturbing the slumbers that Lord LINCOLN'S
eloquence had succeeded, as usual, is producing.
In the " Lords" we did, at one time, confidently
hope that it would have met with that repu-
diation which it so richly merited. We were de-
ceived. It was put into the multitudinous division of
the Bills eomposing the " arrear business from the
Commons," and so, in the last moments of the expiring
session, was passed—(pitch-forked, rather)—in the mass
with half a hundred companions, through its final read-
ing, and received the royal assent. Tuesday's Gazette
gave emphatic expression to its vitality. The country
was then apprised that Mr. DARBY, M.P., and Mr.
BLAMIRE had been nominated by her MAJESTY'S Com-
missioners under this inauspicious Bill. With good
salaries attached to their offices we may well presume,
for without these what " motive" power could have
removed out of their previous positions, a county Mem-
ber and a Tithe Commissioner. Is there no chance of
drawing off, from his present " holding" at Whitehall,
the tenacious Earl ? Is there no other snug berth, by
the offer of which he might be detached from a post in
which his opportunities are so great, and his will ap-
pears to be so good, to commit serious mischief's ?
We see that, if not the Noble Earl, some kindred
spirit is now at work in Greenwich Park. Some official
authority or other, delighting in those stealthy infringe-
ments on the elbow-room of the people whose fate it is
to be denizens of this densely populated metropolis,
which were a little while ago attempted on a small scale
in the extended inclosures of the green-sward of the
Green Park, immediately adjacent to the houses of the
aristocratic residents in that quarter, and which are now
to be pushed on a much more gigantic scale throughout
the country, under the powers of the Waste and Com-
mons Inclosure Bill—has already commenced the dese-
cration of one of the most beautiful spots in Greenwich
Park, in impudent defiance of the implied pledge given
in the House of Commons but a few weeks ago, that the
work which had been begun here should be abandoned.
Just behind the Ranger's house, a vast circle is in pro-
cess of " scalping," prior to the excavation of a huge re-
servoir for the supply of Greenwich Hospital ; a purpose
that can be infinitely bi tter accomplished by laying
down a main and some length of leaden pipe in the town
itself, at a very inconsiderable charge to the magnifi-
cently endowed foundation in question. Those of our
readers who remember the beautiful expanse of lawn in
the Park between the upland glades that run at right
angles to the Blackheath-wall, will at once appreciate the
execrable offence of the eye-sore which is thus about to
be produced on one of the most perfect features of a sylvan
retreat, the equal of which few European capitals can
boast, whether considered simply in relation to the beauti-
ful contrast it presents to the busy city from which it is
so shortly removed, or in respect of the variety and effect
of its mingled glimpses of woods and water, its hospital
palace, and the incessant transit of its shipping. A. re-
servoir in such a spot is a perfect abomination. The
Park of Greenwich is a national as well as a royal de-
mesne, and it is an ill return to the people who annually
contribute whatever is required for its maintenance, and
attest the pleasure they derive from their free access to
its healthful enjoyments by the eagerness with which
they resort to them at all seasons of the year—to cut up
one of the finest expanses which the Park comprises for
a purpose so inadequate to justify such spoliation—so
easy to be better answered, in the town itself, by other and
quite unobjectionable means. We are quite sure that
the new Ranger, the Earl of ABERDEEN, cannot be aware
of what is being proceeded with, during his absence in
attendance upon the Sovereign abroad. But since it is
evident that the design is to put all reclamation and
protest,
whether founded on the pledge we speak of as
having been given in Parliament, or on any other
grounds—out of date—by making the quickest pos-
sible progress with the excavation, we do trust
that the inhabitants of Greenwich will adopt
the promptest possible measures, by memorial
or protest, or petition, as may be agreed
upon at any public meeting to be convened for the
purpose in their town, to induce the authorities under
whose orders the work has been undertaken, to desist
from all further proceedings in it. At the re-assembling
of Parliament we hope to find some spirited Member,—
Mr. NEWDEGATE for example, who lives in the neigh-
bourhood, or the borough Member, calling for informa-
tion as to the parties with whom this unseemly business
has originated. If Government value the reputation of
their own promises, they can scarcely refuse to afford
such information upon demand.

Accounts have been received from Greece, which state
that the Minister of Finance had presented to the
Chambers a project of law to the effect of prohibiting the
circulation in that kingdom of American dollars.
According to the project, that coin is to be received in
the public treasury for its present value (six drachms)
only during the fortnight following its promulgation.
This delay once expired, the dollar will continue, during
two other months, to be worth 5 drachms acd 75 lepte,
after which its circulation is to be altogether prohibited
in Greece.

No intelligence has arrived from Madrid of a later
date than that we gave yesterday.

We have r, cei%ed tue Yario papers of Wednesday.
They all of them comment on the- recent change in the
Turkish Ministry, which is by all parties looked upon as

a step in the right direction. The Pi esse, speaking of
the suddenness with which the SULTAN came to the reso-
lution of dismissing R/2A PAC A, saytl=
ti " The canite o thii shddeh reiolut!oh of hiR filgliness is el
known. Some loyal servant, invested with his entire confi-
dence, no doubt apprised him of the numerous misdeeds of
Riza Pacha, whose prolonged favour was a scandal for all
Europe. The Sultan, left to himself, is animated with ex-
cellent intentions. He is easily deceived, but the moment
his eyes are opened. be does not hesitate to secrifice the /pen,
be the pest th'ey beettpl, eiei is elevated, who bave been
Wanting in their duties or abused their positions. Suleyman
Pacha, the successor of Riaa, is one of the creatures of the
latter ; but he is a far more intelligent, enlightened,: and ho-
nourable man. Whilst Riza remained in office, Suleyman Pacha
could not give effect to his personal views, which are favour-
able to progressive and wise reforms. But now that he is
free from the yoke which pressed upon him, it is to be hoped
that he will be guided by his own judgment, and make it a point
to remedy the evil inflicted on Turkey by the narrow, ignorant,
retrograde, and bigoted policy of his predecessor. A lever
from Vienna confirms the dismissal of Riza Pacha, and informs
us that Rifaat Pacha, the last Minister for Foreign A ffa,rs, a
moderate and irreproachable man, had been appointed Presi-
dent of the Council of Justice, in the room of Suleyman
Pacha."
The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS arrived at Paris
on the 22d, and were received with the greatest enthu-
siasm.

Thirteen of the journeymen carpenters out on strike
have been convicted of an illegal combination to obtain
an advance of wages, and have been severally sentenced
to different terms of imprisonment, varying from three
years to as many months.
Marshal BUGEAUD, who seems determined to set the
Government and Chambers at defiance, has taken upon
himself to address a circular to the officers in command
of the different military divisions in Algeria, calling on
them to forward, as much as lies in their power, the
practice of military colonisation in the French posses-
sions in Africa. Accompanying the circular is a plan
of colonisation, holding out to the settlers certain ad-
vantages, which may be thus summed up : -
" Such non-commissioned officers and privates, as shall on
their own application be chosen as military colonists, are to
be allowed a six months' furlough to go and get married.
They and their wives are to have their travelling expenses
paid both in going and returning, Whatever furniture or
goods they may possess, are removed to the colony at the ex-
pense of the state. The state undertakes to pay all the ex•
pense of building villages, and will furnish all matters not
found on the spot, the col:last being expected to give only his
own labour and that of his wife. The state engages to give
to each family a pair of oxen for tillage, two cows, ten sheep,
a sow, two ploughs, a cart, and a sufficiency of the smaller
agricultural implements. The military colonists are to receive
food, pay, clothing, and all the allowances of infantry sol-
diers for three years. Each colonist will receive ten hectares
of land fit for tillage, of which he is to remain full owner
when once married and settled. The officers, whose presence
may be judged necessary for carrying out this plan of military
colonisation, are to receive land in the following proportion :-
Colonels or Lieutenant-Colonels, five portions, or fifty hectares ;
Chef de Battalion, four portions ; Captain, three; and Lieu-
tenant, two. Their houses are to be built at the expense of
the State, but they are not to receive any indemnity for fur-
niture or agricultural implements. The colonists are to re-
ceive trees of all kinds, and seeds for their first crop. An ad-
vance of 400 f. may be given them for indispensable articles
of furniture, on condition that they repay it either in money,
er the produce of their land, in a space of three years. The
colonists are authorised to bring back with them some indi-
viduals of their family. If they return with their wife only,
they are to be joined in the cultivation of the land with any
one of their comrades that they may prefer. After three
years, the colonists will not be entitled to either pay, pro-
visions, or allowance. They must thenceforward provide for
their own existence."
The publication of this circular has called forth con-
siderable animadversion from nearly all the Opposition
press. They declare his conduct to Le illegal, and
directly opposed to the wishes of the Government and
the Chambers. We subjoin a few extracts, to show how
cur Contemporaries regard this act of the Governor-
General. The National uses the following language:-
" We defy Marshal Soult to defend by his silence this new
vagary of the African hero. Hitherto the admonitions ad-
dressed to the adviser of the roasting of the Debra, the recom-
mender of the crapaudine and the clou rouge, have been able
to remain unknown ; but at present in face of the publicity
imprudently given by the Governor of Algeria to his agricul-
tural conceptions, the disavowal must be public, and it cannot
be too quickly given to satisfy the public mind, impatient to
know if there is anywhere a man more powerful than the con-
stitution itself."
The Siecle uses nearly similar language.
From a report by Captain ORMAND BARBAYAN, which
appears in the Journal du Havre of the 26th, we extract
the following :-
" A short time previous to my arrival in the River Melia-
core, the Messange, Government schooner, dispatched by M.
Baudin, commander of the African station, had arrived, in
order to effect a treaty of commerce with the chiefs of that
river, by which the French were to enjoy all the privileges
accorded to ether nations. As
_soon as the English knew of
this they sent a Chargé d'Affaires to the chefs to induce them
to cancel the treaty concluded with us, and make another, by
which all nations but England were to be excluded from trad-
ing in the river. It was only by the positive refusal of
Amarold, one of the principal chiefs, that they were com-
pelled to abandon their project. This occurred during my
sojourn on the river."
According to the Courrier Francais the Minister of
Commerce had arranged with the Chamber of Commerce
of Paris to send out to Mayotte, samples of the various
productions of Parisian industry, which, as well as other
French manufacture•;, are to be exposed in the Govern-
ment Court ofJustice, when traders and the natives of
the coast of Africa and Madagascar may inspect them.
The delay fixed by the Minister of Public Works for
sending in the registers, lists of subscriptions, and other
documents relative to the adjudication of the Great
Northern Railroad of France and the Fampoux and
Hazebrouck branch line expired on Monday, Aug. 25, at
midnight. A single Company has complied with the
required formalities for the Northern line. The princi-
pal subscribers are-Messrs. de Rothschild, Brothers ;
Hottinguer and Co.; Baring, Brothers, and Co.; Laffitte,
Blount, and Co.; Fillet Will and Co. ; J. Lefebvre and
Co.; Gouin and Co.; Pepin-Lehalleur ; Decan ; Baron
Atthalin ; Admiral de Rosamel ; the Duke de Treiise ;
and a number of the Receivers. General. The capital for
the Northern line is fixed at 150 millions ; it is to be
raised to 170 millions in case of the junction of the Fam-
poux line, and to 200 millions in case of the ulterior
junction of that of St. Quentin. All the shares are deli-
vered at par. The acte de societe, deposited with the
Minister of Commerce the same day, constitutes the
Board of Directors as follows :-Baron J. de Rothschild,
President; Admiral de Rosamel, Peer of France; P. Hot-
tinguer; C. Laffitte; Pepin-Lehalleur; A. d'Eicthal, Re-
gent of the Bank of France ; E. Pereire, Director of the
St. Germain Railroad Company; A.Thurneyssen, banker;

L. de Rothschild, banker ; J. Masterman, M.P. ; W
Chaplin, President of the Southampton Railroad Com-
pany ; and F. Mills, Vice-President of the Dover Rail-
road Company. The functions of the Directors are gra•
tuitous. For the Fampoux and Hazebrouck line two lists
were sent in-one by a special company, having the
same officers as that mentioned above for the Northern
line, with a capital of twenty millions ; the other by a
company formed by M. O'Neil, with a capital of sixteen
millions.

DOG-STEALING.—The new Act applying to steal-
ing dogs, contains more glaring blunders than there are
clauses in it. To " explain and amend', it would be almost
impossible; the most convenient way will be to repeal it, and
make another enactment. Such is the s ;ate of law-making in
ISO. Instead of framing Bills, short, i lain, cnil simple, they
are spun out, and full of very fine phrase. and, thereby become
almost unintelligible and confounded. Instead of a clause
being finished properly, it is but half so, and is completed by
some other section, making the whole a oiece of matter uncon-
nected and disjointed. —Front a Correlondent.

About 8,000 bags were sold, 2,000 being MI spectilati(;dl tit
full prices. There was a large business doing in shares, at
good prices:
The accounts from America are of chief interest in connec-
tion with political matters, and what will be the
dpalint tit the Mexican qttarrel fe,w can dpterminet State
securities have brightening prospects, it fteti the
following ;
"A few years will suffice to create in the public mind a
confidence in American securities, almost as great as ever
existed, but this confidence will not lead capitalists into the
extravagant loam hetetofott su easily obtained by slim*.
lators from the United States. Our State stocks art daily
improving as securities for permanent investment, and as such
hold out great inducements to the capitalists of Europe, on
account of the high rate of interest compared with the stock
investments of other countries. The bankruptcy that have
overtaken many of the States of the ticion will tiltlitiitely
have a favourable effect upon the whole. The delinquency
of a few has operated as a check upon the others, and com-
pelled them to pause in the financial policy they were pur •
suing. Had the extravagant expenditures made for several
years by many of the Statee been tontinued a
little longer, or had not some of them been
overtaken with insolvency as they were, many
of the States that have by the most rigid economy, and an
abandonment of expenditures upon their public works, been
able to promptly meet the interest on their debts, would have
become bankrupt and fallen with the others. A few were
sacrificed to preserve the rest. Had the States of New York
and Ohio gone on a short time longer in the course they were
pursuing when the revulsion came and swept away those cf
less strength and more limited resources, they must inevi
tably have been swallowed up in the storm, and have ranked
with Pennsylvania, Maryland, and other delinquent States.
It was only with the greatest difficulty they were able to
weather the storm, and only by the exercise of the greatest
skill in the;management of their finances have they been
able to sustain their. credit."
The market for the English Stocks has been rather de-
pressed to-day again, on account of the warlike tenor of the
news from Mexico. Consols have receded to 99 and 983/
for present transfer, and to 9914 and 99 for account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been at 475. to 495. premium. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 1021,E to 14,
and the Three per Cents. 99% to X. Bank Stock is worth
2111,fa to 212%, and East India Stock 271. There is not
a large business doing.
The most sensitive' foreign investment at the present
moment is necessarily Mexican, which has been at a decline
of $/4 to 114 per cent. on yesterday's value—viz., to 333,4 and
33. Spanish Stock is nominal, the Five per Cents. being
2714 %, and the Three per Cents. 38% to %. Peruvian
Bonds are 39.
The market for Railway Shares has not been affected to
any extent by the partial reaction in the Funds. The new
lines, however, all seem to come out at a fair premium, and
some of the companies which are reconstituting themselves
for a fresh struggle next session, find good support, notwith-
standing the expense incurred, and which, in some cases, is
less than might have been supposed. The North Kent Com •
pany have re-issued their shares, and the list below will
,show that the shareholders have not lost confidence.
The Dublin and Galway Company too, which, hut for
mismanagement, must have obtained its Act last year, is
profiting by experience, and besides a thorough weeding out
of the doubtful subscribers or applicants, will benefit by the
delay, if we may judge by the advices from Dublin, in con-
sequence of having leisure and opportunity to lay out a per-
fect line, in which work Sir J. Pii`Neil and an immense num-
ber of assistants are said to be now engaged. The railway
is a most important one for the sister kingdom, and receives
such countenance there as must, with common prudence, we
should think, render it entirely independent of mere specu-
lators and premium-hunters. The shares of the old com-
panies are much the same to-day, and those of the new lines
have been in some instances higher.
