RAILWAY 11VTELLIGENCE.

BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY.--We understand a reduction in
the fares, and an alteration in the time of the trains starting
is contemplated by the directory, to commence on the Ist of
November.—Chester Chronicle.

COMPARATIVE RAILWAY CHARGES.-On the London
and Birmingham line the charge per mile by the mail train is
3'482d. ; by the first class 3•214 d., and by the second class
2•143 d. with closed carriages at night ; by the third class
trains now to be established the fare will be about l'ssd. On
the Grand Junction the fares are-by the mail train 2'Bd. ;
fig,st class 2'sd. ; second class 2•ld. ; and third class 1•339 d.
On the Great Western the charges for the first and second
classes are respectively 2•875 d, and 1•75 d. On the London
and South-Western the fares by the mail and first class
trains are the same, namely, 2•624 d., and by the second class
1•75 d. The Liverpool and Manchester fares are-mail train
2•55 d., first class 2•361. ; and second class 1•77 d. ; no third
class. On the Eastern Counties the three classes are seve-
rally, 2'857d., 1•711 d., and 1•142 d ; and on the Birmingham
and Derby 2'5d., 1•75 d., and 1•25 d. The Manchester and
Leeds fares have no fractional divisions, being 3d., 2d., and
Id. On the Midland Counties the first class charges are 2'sd.
(previous to July last they were 3d.) the second class 1-sd.
(formerly 1'875d.); the third class fares on this line appear
to be the lowest in England, being no more than 0•75 d. The
only parallel to this scale is on the Ulster line, where the
second class fares are precisely of the same amount, namely,
0•75 d. (there is no third class) the first class being I•sd. On
the Arbroath and Forfair, and some other Scotch lines, the
third class fare is about 0'9807., while on the Edinburgh and
Dalkeith the second class is 0'96., the first being I'2ld. On
the London and Croydon the fares in January were 2d., and
I•sd. for the first and second classes respectively, but these
rates have since been considerably increased. On the Green-
wich they are 3•2 d. and 2•139 d. On the North Union the
first class is 2,13 d., and the second 1•62 d. •, and on the Lei-
cester and Swannington I•8948d. and 1•312 d. On the Leeds
and Selby there are three classes at 2'5d., 1.859 d., and I•3d.
On the Newcastle. and North Shields a
mail-train at 2•669 d.,
a first class at 1 779 d., and a second class at 0-889 d. The
Manchester, Bolton, and Bury line presents a considerable
disparity in the carges of the two classes, the fares of the
first being 3d., and of the second 1•8 d. On the Bolton and
Leigh they are 2•44 d. and 1 77d.-Railway Times.
The Belgian Government has determined to adopt a new
kind of rail on their railways. These rails are heavier and
will be more expensive than those at present employed. This
attention of the Belgian Government to the improvement of
the form of the rail on their railroads is well worthy of imi-
tation by the directors of the English railway .companies.-

FRANCE.

RESIGNATION OF M. TRIERS AND THE FRENCH MINISTRY.

(From the Morning Herald of Saturday)
We received, last night, our Paris correspondence of
Thursday, and the Madrid mail of the 15th.
In lieu of the usual summary which we are in the habit of
presenting to our readers, we give the following communica-
tion from our correspondent :
" PARIS, Thursday, Oct. 22. Four o'clock.
" I sent you at two o'clock this afternoon an extraordinary
courier with the important announcement that the whole of
M. Thiers' ministry had given in its resignation, and that
the King had accepted it. Though I had the intelligence
from a good source at an earlier hour, I waited to have it
formally authenticated, as well as to know the effect it would
produce on the Bourse, but I now fear that my courier has
but a bad chance of effecting his passage in time for a second
edition, as the weather has suddenly become most tempestu-
ous. Still the effort has been worth the making, and your
readers will appreciate our anxiety to give the latest and the
most authentic information.

" The cause of quarrel between the King and M. Thiers
arises from the different colour which his Majesty and his
minister wish to give to the speech from the throne. The
King desired to have the speech so clearly indited that all
the world might read France wanted peace, and peace only ;
while M. Thiers was resolved that the preparations for war
which have been made should be justified from the mouth of
Louis Philip.
" The discussions on this point have been going on for
several days ; but at half-past twelve o'clock last night the
difference came to such a height, that the ministers in a body
resigned, and the King accepted their resignation.
" The King instantly sent for Count Mole, who is his fa-
vourite, and who has the confidence of the conservative party
and of foreign courts ; but Count Mole excused himself,
under some pretence, and declined the intended honour.
" Marshal Soult was then called for, and he at once ac-
cepted the trust reposed in him, and undertook the formation
of the cabinet—the basis of his arrangement being, that M.
Guizot should be the minister of foreign affairs.
" The resignation of the Thiers ministry is a most alarm-
ing event, in the opinion of well-informed persons.
" As M. Thiers goes out for war, he throws on the king
all the popular odium of submitting to what will be called a
dishonourable peace. He will be the apostle of the war-
party, representing the most violent as well as the most
numerous portion of the French people, and supported by
the journals of the greatest circulation.
" The king will be overwhelmed with public clamour, and,
possibly, forced to the desperate measure of an abdication.
" Had M. Thiers permitted the king to open the session
with a moderate speech, M. Thiers must have fallen beneath
the scorn of his own party, and the weight of the 221 friends
of order and of peace.
" The king called the chambers with the hope of, by their
votes, getting rid of an obnoxious minister, and a still more
obnoxious policy, but he has failed ; M. Thiers was too cun-
ning to be betrayed to his own ruin, and by thus resigning
before the chambers meet, and on the question of peace or
war, he holds the king in a vice from whence his majesty may
never extricate himself.

" In my opinion the king will find so much difficulty in
forming an administration, that M. Thiers must be recalled,
and a warlike speech be framed, or such a paragraph intro-
duced into it as will save M. Thiers before the country.
" It is possible that Mr. Thiers will accept of no middle
term, and that the king must submit to all he dictates.
" I judged rightly when I said three weeks since that the
convocation of the chambers aggravated the difficulties of the
situation.

" It is useless my repeating to you what the journals of
this day say, as they are all written to a state of things which
existed yesterday.
" The Siecle is the only one which appears forewarned of
the event.

" P.S., Five o'clock, p. m.
'` Marshal Soult has named M. Duchatel for the Interior;
M. Guizot, Foreign Affairs ; M. Dufaure, Justice ; M. Passy,
Finance; M. Villemain, Public Instruction : M. Teste, Com-
merce. Marshal Soult, War, with the Presidency.
" M. Guizot has been sent for by telegraph.
" Count mole has certainly refused.
" The Duke de Broglie is to be offered the foreign affairs
by courtesy ; but he will refuse.
" The Chambers will be convoked in 15 days."

The following is our correspondent's first communication
respecting the above event. which we received by extraordi-
nary express, at a late hour yesterday afternoon :
" PARIS, Thursday, Quarter-past One, p.m.
" The Ministers have all resigned, and the King has ac-
cepted their resignation.
" Marshal Soult is charged with the formation of a new
Cabinet.

" Count Mole was sent for by the King, but refused to
come.

" M. Guizot is to be the new minister for Foreign Affairs.
" The Funds fell at Tortoni's to 71 80 ; opened at the
Bourse at 72, went up to 72 30, and are now at 71 GO. The
situation is most grave."

SPAIN.
ABDICATION OF THE QUEEN REGENT.

MADRID, Oct. 15.—Queen Christina has abdicated. The
following are the causes which produced this resolution on
her part :—Espartero and his colleagues, on their arrival at
Valencia, hastened to have an interview with her Majesty ;
they took the usual oath of allegiance, but did not present the
basis of their programme. Espartero, after the other minis-
ters had taken leave, remained closeted with the queen until
twelve at night ; at that hour the other ministers were sent
for ; they announced their programme verbally. The queen
desired that it should be given to her in writing, but this was
vehemently resisted during an hour and a half by four of the
ministers ; at last, thanks to the interference of Espartero,
the point was given up by his colleagues, and the minister of
justice (Gomez Becarra) drew it up. A serious discussion
then took place between the queen and the ministers. This
conference lasted till day-break, when Espartero and his col-
leagues withdrew. When the ministers returned to the
palace on the following morning, they were informed by the
queen that in consequence of what had passed in the inter-
view of the preceeding night, she was resolved on abdicating
the regency, and that her abdication was to take place in the
presence of the civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities
of Valencia.

It is stated, that the ministry, or the council of regency to
call it by a more appropriate name, will soon arrive here with
Queen Isabella and her sister. According to a report which
is generally credited, the regency consists of Espartero,
Ferrer, and Mina.

The central junta will continue to meet, but it appear that
it will possess no political character.
The regency will find a powerful auxiliary in the army,
25,000 strong, which is concentrated at Madrid and its en-
virons.

The following are the official documents sent to the junta
of Madrid from Valencia :

STATEMENT ADDRESSED TO THE QUEEN BY HER COUNCIL

OF MINISTERS.

" Madam,—From the moment the election of the present
Cortes was announced, a general clamour has been raised
against the measures adopted. Experience has fully shown
that there were just grounds for their alarms, and no one
could dare to say that in those elections there was exercised
that liberty which was so necessary in order that the results
might be regarded as the true expression of the will of the
nation. The contrary has been decided by the only autho-
rity recognised by the constitution. The fatal project of law
of the ayuntarnientos has confirmed the suspicions which
were excited. The obstinacy with which it has sustained
these measures, and the course adopted in its discussion,
have increased the unpopularity of the Chamber of Deputies
to such a degree, that painful manifestations have proved the
public dissatisfaction which it had encouraged. The law on
tithes, and other objectionable projects, have still further in-
creased that discontent, and it has followed that one of the
principal demands of the people who have risen for the de-
fence of the constitution which they have seen violated, has
been the dissolution of the present Cortes. This demand,
Madam, considering all we have pointed out to you, has be-
come irresistible. We have, therefore, the honour to pro-
pose to your Majesty the dissolution of the Cortes, and in
order that it may take place, as the state of the country de-
mands, we submit to you the annexed ordonnances.

" ROYAL ORDONNANCE.
" Conformably to the advice of my Council of Ministers,
and in consideration of the motives set forth in the statement
of the 11th October, in my quality of Queen Regent of the
kingdom during the minority of my illustrious daughter
Queen Isabella 11., in her royal name, and using the prero-
gative which is granted to me by article 26 of the constitu-
tion, I decree as follows :—Art. 1. The Chamber of Depu-
ties is dissolved. Art. 2. In virtue of art. 19 of the consti-
tution, the third part of the members of the senate shall be
renewed. Communicate this to all whom it may concern.
" I, THE QUEEN REGENT."
" Done at Valencia this 11th October, 1840.
'• To Boldomero Espartero, Duke of Vittoria and Morella,
and President of the Council of Ministers."

PROVISIONAL JUNTA OF MADRID.
The junta has received the following despatch from Valen-
cia, addressed to the first Secretary of the Ministry for
Foreign Affairs :
" Your Excellency,—Yesterday the august Queen Regent
thought proper to dissolve the Cortes, as you will see by the
annexed copy of the royal decree issued to that effect. The
same evening the Queen Regent abdicated the regency which
had been confided to her during the minority of her illustri-
ous daughter ; this free and spontaneous act was accomplished
in the most solemn manner, in the presence of all the autho-
rities, and other persons of the city, who by reason of their
position coald contribute to the authenticity of the act. You
will also find annexed an autograph copy of the deed of abdi-
cation addressed by the Queen Regent to the next Cortes.
The most perfect tranquillity reigns in this city, and her Ma-
jesty the Queen and her Royal Highnessthe Infante continue
to enjoy excellent health.

COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the sth
of August, by the Mazeppa, which arrived on Saturday from
Port Natal, bringing intelligence from that place to the 22d
of June. We feel unbounded satisfaction in having itin our
power to say that the affairs of the emigrants are in every
respect proceeding most prosperously.
The report of Dingaan's having fallen by the sword of the
people of Sapoesa, is confirmed, and Nonkloas, the chief
captain of the present King of the Zooloos, had attended
the last Volks meeting, in order to renew a treaty of alliance.
Thus have the emigrants overcome their most formidable
enemy, and succeeded in establishing peace upon what is
likely to prove a lasting basis. All the other Caffre tribes
have also evinced the greatest respect for the farmers.
PORT NATAL.—Extract of a letter from Dr. Adam (of the
American mission,) addressed to a correspondent at Graham's
Town, and dated Umlavi, Port Natal, April 28:—" Perhaps
you have heard of the death of Dingaan ; he was slain several
weeks since by some of the Amasuare tribe, into whose terri-
tory he had fled. Unpande (called Pando by the farmers), a
brother of Dingaan, is now King of the Zooloos. All is
quiet. The boors are settling upon their places, and in the
good providence of our God, we are well and prosperous at
the station. We need a reinforcement very much, and hope
to welcome brethren by the first ship that arrives here. Mr.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.—A very distressing and melan-
choly scene was witnessed on Thursday morning about nine
o'clock, on Stockwell-street, Glasgow. A poor woman
whose husband had died in some wretched hovel in the neigh.
bourhood of the Bridgegate, was seen walking behind a
common barrow, on which was placed the remains of her
departed husband. The poor greature, who appeared to be
in a very distressed state of mind, several times gave vent to
her feelings ; she was attended by her little daughter, a girl
about nine years of age. The parties appeared to be of the
poorest class of Irish shearers, and a large crowd witnessed
the melancholy scene, as it passed on its way to the church-
yard.—Scottish Standard.

SECOND EDITION.

Standard Office, 'Three o'Clock.

The latest news from the coast of Syria, which comes
down the 28th ultimo, is encouraging. Ibrahi►n Pacha is
losing ground on all sides.
On the evening of the 23d, five battalions of Turkish
troops, a battalion of Royal Marines, and two companies of
Austrian troops, were left to cover the camp at Dejoun. The
remainder of the army, consisting of four battalions of Turkish
infantry, one of Royal Marines, and two detachments of
Austrian rocketeers, were formed in the upper position of
the camp, with the view of attacking at day-break the:ad-
vanced guard of Ibrahim Pacha, consisting of 1000 men,
commanded by the Emir Massoud, then employed in
keeping open the Pacha's communication between his
head-quarters at Merouba with Beyrout. After a fa-
tiguing march of five hours, and having forded the
Kelbson river, Commodore Napier, who was in command
of the allied force, menaced the enemy's front with
his battalion of Marines and his Turkish troops, whilst
General Jochmus, with the third battalion of Selina Pacha's
division, turned the enemy's right flank with so much promp-
titude and success as to cut off his retreat to the Pacha's
head-quarters, and make prisoners of four companies of
regular infantry, consisting of 100 men each. The Albani-
ans fled, with the Emir Massoud, and the Druses, 400 in
number, dispersed to their houses. The allied troops
bivouacked on the field of battle, on the 25th September,
and on the 26th returned to Dejoun, leaving a single batta-
lion to keep open the road between that fortress and the
province of Kate, whence the mountaineers were joining the
Turkish standard in great numbers. According to the re-
ports of these fugitives, Ibrahim Pacha was collecting means
of transport in the villages round Merouba and Guatashos,
and preparing to withdraw his partisans from that neighbour-
hood with all convenient speed.
On the day after the one on !which these successes were
obtained, Admiral Stopford proceeded to besiege Saida (Si-
don), and having formed a detachment, composed of one
English line of battle ship, her Majesty's frigate Guerrier, a
Turkish frigate, an English brig, and three large British
, steamers, conveying 700 Turks and 300 Marines, placed it
under the command of Commodore Napier, who anchored
before Saida on the 26th, and demanded its immediate sur-
render. His requisition not having been complied with, a
brisk cannonade was commenced, and 1000 men landed, who,
after some resistance from the garrison, took the town by
storm. The Egyptians having lost their commandant, laid
down their arms, and two thousand men were accordingly
carried prisoners to Dejoun ; beside which, a large:quan-
tity of arms and ammunition fell into the hands of the
Turks. Saida, as well as the small town of Sur, which
had also been deserted by the Egyptians, was then oc.
cupied by the Turks. The capture of Saida is of consider-
able importance to the future operations of the allied troops,
inasmuch as it enables them to pass the mountain Gerseje,
arm the inhabitants of the south of Lebanon, and even
menace the Emir Beschir. It appears the Egyptians no
where maintained their ground against the troops of the
Sultan and the armed mountaineers. Of the 8,000 men as-
sembled by Ibrahim at Balbec, Zahle, and Deir-el-Kamar,
with whom he had approached within five miles of Dejoun,
he could only muster 4,000 when he arrived at the last men-
tioned point. The Metualis, a warlike race between Balbec
and Saida, were beginning to follow the example of the Me.
ronites, and were continually presenting themselves at the
Turkish camp, to ask for arms and ammunition.

The Egyptian prisoners and deserters who had expressed
their willingness to fight under the Turkish standard, form-
ing almost an entire regiment, constituted the outpost, and
were supported by the armed mountaineers in the most en-
thusiastic manner. On the 27th no fewer than 60 Egyptian
officers escaped from the camp of Ibrahim Pacha, and arrived
at that of Dejoun. It is confidently anticipated that before
the season arrives which will render it necessary for the
Anglo-Austrian squadron to repair to winter quarters, the
whole of Syria will be once more in the possession of the
Sultan.

MALTA, October 16.

The Liverpool contract steamer, with the London mails
of the 30th ult., arrived from Falmouth and Gibraltar at
two, a.m. on Monday, the 12th instant, and on the same
night her Majesty's ship Vanguard with the despatches for
Admiral Sir Robert Stopford and:mail for the fleet, brought
by the above named-steamer, put to sea for the coast of
Syria, and met the Rodney outside, with the second wing of
the 19th regiment, under Major Hodgson. This vessel in-
creases the Mediterranean fleet to 43 ships, of which 14 are
of the line, all on the coast of Egypt and Syria.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tuts DAY.
Seasonable rains within the last ten days having brought
the light lands around us into a good state for the reception
of the seed, autumn tillage on those scils has continued to
progress favourably, with the prospect of being completed
earlier than usual, a considerable portion of the potato crop
being already secured; whilst upon the strong summer
fallows west of the Mersey, the Wheat plant is mostly up
and looking well.

The arrivals into this port since the 20th instant contain
a few parcels of Wheat, Barley, and Flour, with a good sup-
ply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, but little grain coast-
wise : of foreign Wheat, however, chiefly American, the
import amounts to 20,025 qrs., of Indian Corn to 1787 qrs.,
of States and Canadian Flour to 26,303 barrels ; which, th•
latter excepted, will probably be placed in bond, 2285 qrs
of foreign Wheat and 2283 barrels of States Flour only
having been entered for consumption during the week end-
ing Thursday last.

In the leading markets of this county at the close of the
week, there was rather more stability exhibited in the trade
for Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, at prices proportionate with
those obtained here on Friday.

At the opening of this day's market, holders of foreign
Wheats required much higher prices than could be realised
afterwards, but succeeded in establishing an advance of 2d.
per 701bs. upon the rates of last week, and prime Red Baltic
rather exceeded that amendment, at which a fair extent of
business was done, although the trade concluded rather less
buoyant than it commenced ; and in English and Irish
Wheat there was no improvement.

Of Odessa Wheat in bond, a cargo has been sold at ss.
per 701bs ; and lock Flour has declined to 25s to 25s 6d per
barael. Free foreign Flour met some inquiry, but was hardly
saleable at late prices ; and Irish must be noted is per sack
cheaper.

Malting and Grinding Barley in slow request at our last quo-
tations. Malt, Beans, and Peas, upon a limited demand re-
mained unaltered in value.
Oats continuing to meet inquiry, transactions to a fair
amount were effected again to-day, and choice samples
rather exceeded our last currency ; Oatmeal likewise, in the
course of the market obtained a small advance, and closed at
the full rates of this day se'nnight.
