EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY,

We have learned, with sincere pleasure, that the unfor-
tunate differences existing between the Edinburgh and
Glasgow committees of directors have at length been amicably
adjusted. At a recent meeting of the general board, attended
by members of both committees, the alterations in the con-
stitution of the board recommended by the last general
meeting of shareholders were taken into consideration, and
the following changes, which had been previously approved
of by both committees, were unanimously agreed to, and
will be embodied in the new bill for which the company have
occasion, on other accounts, to go to parliament.
The Edinburgh and Glasgow committees, as existing under
the present act, are to be abolished, and the whole powers,
both of the management and execution, are to be vested in
the board of directors, who will meet, as at present, in Glas-
gow, and consist of fifteen members, (instead of twenty-four
as at present,) of whom six shall reside within twenty miles
of Glasgow, and four within twenty miles of Edinburgh ;
the board to have power to nsme committees in Edinburgh
and Glasgow, and delegate to them such powers and functions
as they think proper.
This proposed modification of the constitution of the board
is, we understand, to be submitted to the shareholders, and
will, we have little doubt, he cordially approved of by them.
Both the interests of the public and of the company are con-
cerned in this result ; for however much the directors have
hitherto held their differences in abeyance in every thing
connected with forwarding the works on the line, yet these
differences were of a nature that rendered harmony at the
board doubtful, and unity of management impossible. The
unseemly spectacle will also be prevented of a contest in
parliament among parties who should never appear before
that tribunal disunited.

We understand that Sir Frederick Smith, the Government
Inspector, was recently here, and examined minutely the
state of the works along the line from end to end. We have
not as yet seen any official report published, but we under-
stand that he was highly pleased with the substantial manner
in which the finished portions of the works were constructed.
With regard to the time of completing and opening the rail-
way to the public, it is understood that Sir Frederick con-
sidered it likely that the whole works, including the great
whinstone cutting at the Croyridge, might be ready for traffic
by the middle of November. From the energy with which
the unfinished parts are pushed forward, we have little doubt
that this might be the case with average weather, but taking
into account the unfavourable season which we have had from
the beginning of August down to the present time—certainly
the most rainy season that has been experienced in this part
of the country for many years—our wonder is rather that so
much has been accomplished than that something yet remains
to do. Should November, however, prove more ausdicous,
it is expected that by the beginning of December the wishes of
the public will be realised. One advantage, at least—and
that not a small one—has resulted from the wetness of the
season. Much of the subsiding and slipping of the embank-
ments, which might otherwise have happened at a future
period, has already taken place, and the consolidation of the
works has thus been greatly matured before the line is opened
for traffic. Upon the whole, therefore, considering the in-
creased security to the public the delay is not so much to be
regretted; because whatever tends to inspire greater confi-
dence in the community in the safety of the line, will ultt-
, Ta.tely be for the true interest and benefit of the Railway.—

nople of the Bth. 4.,asandria, of the Oh of Pc Ober.
A most violytt:llo3 of an earthquake occurred at Con-
stantinople,qp ,th? night of the sth, such indSd As the oldest
inhabitant do riot remember to have ever witnessed. The
first shoulOplt at twenty-five minutes after two in the morn=
ing, wyS;ifrong and lasted some time. The second at three
o'clAlt and lasted from twenty to twenty-five seconds. This
was succeeded half-an-hour afterwards by a third and slight
shock, and at seven in the morning occurred a fourth. A.
great deal of damage was done in the Khan, at Constantino-
ple, and in the surrounding villages many lives were said to
have been lost ; but our correspondent states that there were
only five or six persons killed, though the loss of property is
very extensive.

The military organisation of Turkey was going on satis-
factorily, and a good disposable army will go a great way to-
wards insuring the future safety of the empire. General
Jochmus bas been placed by the sultan's firman at the bead
of the staff, and this measure, prompted by Lord Ponsonby,
augurs well for the morals and respectability of the Ottoman
army.

Besides financial difficulties, the porte has many other
weighty matters that call for its constant attention, such as
the state of Tripoli, the attitude of Mehemet Ali, whose
actions are at variance with. his professions, and the discon-
tents of the rayah populations.
From Alexandria there is no news of moment. The libera-
tion of the Syrians in the service of the pasha was continued.
About 7,000 had already left Egypt, and more were expected
from the upper country in order to be shipped off.

FRANCE.
The Paris papers of Sunday contain a telegraphic despatch
from Bayonne, dated the 23d instant, announcing the arrival
at Urdax of O'Donnell, with Generals Ortigoza and Jaure-
guy, and 2,500 men. The Count de Monterron and several
members of the foral deputation had also reached that town.
Urdax is situated in the valley of the Bastan, about two miles
from the French frontier. The Moniteur Parisien of Satur-
day night announces that several regiments have been ordered
by the French government to approach the Pyrenean frontier,
and that a squadron of ships of war has been despatched to
the coast. This movement has given rise to much specula-
tion. Some of the papers consider it as indicative of the in-
tention of Louis Philippe to interfere actively in the affairs of
Spain, but the majority regard it as a necessary precaution,
without having any hostile character. The ill effects of the
insurrection it is feared will be felt for some time after all
open appearance of resistance to the existing government
shall have disappeared. It will tend to strengthen the re-
publican party ; and by some it is supposed that Espartero
will be compelled, in consequence, to adopt more democratic
measures.
