immediately.
LEEDS AND THIILSK RAILWA

-At a special extra-

ordinary meeting of the shareholders of tliis company,
held at Leeds, on Saturday last, it was determined, in
opposition t) the wishes of the directory, to reject the
proposed agreement for a junction with the East and
West Yorkshire Junction Railway Company—the num-
bers being, in support of the agreement, 597 ; against
it, 756.

The city article of The Times having stated that Mr.
Stegmann, a partner in the house of Messrs. Brownells
and Co., of this town, at Buenos Ayres, " was still in
prison at Buenos Ayres, on a charge fabricated by Rosas,
of undermining his dwelling in order to blow him up,"
Messrs. Brownells have stated, that Mr. Stegmann, after
being detained at the police-office, was released by order
of General Rosas, the charge being, as we think it almost
unnecessary to say, quite without foundation. "
FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR THE JEWS.—But as we
know that a good Providence hovers over Israel, with
better things in store for them than those they now vainly
seek after, so have we reason to conclude that this ap-
proach to political power here and elsewhere in the lands
of their dispersion, will be as it hitheao ever has been,
but the growth of a night followed by'lVe early decay of
a morning. Indeed there are not wanting symptoms
already of the probability of a reaction against the Jews,
and underground grumbling against them is already
audible, and frequent placards abusive of them are posted
on the corners of the streets.—Rev. R. W. Wright's
Letters froni Vienna.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF CARLISLE.—This venerable
nobleman died on Saturday morning, at his seat, Castle
Howard. His lordship was born on September 17th, 1773,
and was returned to parliament in 1794 as member for
Morpeth. In 1801 he married the eldest daughter of the
Duke of Devonshire, who survives her husband. His
lordship subsequently represented Cumberland, and was
appointed Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of York-
shire in 1824, and in 1837 he was appointed Chief Com-
missioner of Woods and Forests, and during the period of
the Goderich ministry he held the office of Privy Seal. In
1834 his lordship withdrew from public life. His lord-
ship's death creates a vacancy in the Order of the Garter,
into which illustrious body he was admitted in the year
1837, and the advancement of the present Earl to a seat in
the House of Peers will occasion a new election for the
West Riding of Yorkshire, Lord Morpeth succeeding to
the Earl's title. The deceased peer resigned the office of
Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire in the
month of July, 1847, and his lordship's eldest son was
appointed to succeed him.

did haunch of venison ready at half past one to-day.
