'THE Commissioners for Victualling His Majesty's Navy, &c. do hereby give notice, that on THUItSDAY, the 17th September next, they will be ready to receive Tenders in writing (sealed up), and treat for the following Articles, to be delivered into the Victual ling Stores at Deptford, viz.:— Yesterday a numerous meeting of the Share holders in the above concern took place at the Com pany's Offices, in Crutched-friars, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Directors for the last half year and on other business. Mr. BROCKLEBANK took the chair. There is nothing in which the great advance that England has made within the last half cen tury, in her commerce and manufactures, is more visible than in the present improved state of the roads, and .the increased facilities of com munication between the metropolis and the seve ral great towns of the empire. The rapidity and the security with which a man may be carried from one town to another, would have been thought utterly unattainable within the period to which we have referred. This improvement in land travelling, combined with the advantages we derive from conveyances by steam-boats, may be said to have reduced the geographical distances of any given part of the empire from another to less than half what they were some years back ; for it is well known that a man in London, writing to any distant part of Ireland or Scot land, may now have an answer in much less than half the time it would have taken some fifty years ago. The great importance and advantage of those increased facilities of communication are so generally felt, that even now, improved as they are, there is nothing which science or me chanical skill can supply left untried to bring us nearer to perfection in this respect. In the con struction of our mail-coaches, as far as lightness can be made consistent with the solidit) neces sary to resist constant and powerful action, there is little or no room for improvement : in the de scription of the cattle employed and the rate of their speed there is still less. Of the state of our public roads throughout the country generally, it is unnecessary to say a word. They are nearly as perfect as Ikl , Adam can make them. Little, then, it would seem, remains to be done with the view of improving the communications between the metropolis and the great northern and western lines of road, except by taking accurate surveys of the whole extent, to ascertain how much the distance may still be shortened, by avoiding unnecessary angles and hills. To this; the heads of the Post-office department, with laudable zeal and assiduity, have directed their attention. X s. d. The estimated expense through Tamworth is 57,552 2 7 Ditto, through Fazely Mr. Telford then gives the following compara tive view of the distances and expenses of the several proposed lines : horse-tails, had sought his safety by flying towards Adrianople, as I had the honour to state to your Majesty in my report of the 12th (24th) of this month, I ordered, on the same day, General Rudiger, with his corps, which formed the van-guard, and which was supported by the Gth corps, to direct his march by the way of Rumilikioi upon Aidos, and to take possession of the latter town. The Secretary read the report. It detailed the several destinations of the vessels belonging to the Company. The Directors had disposed of the steam-boat Hylton Jolife to the Turkish Govern ment for the sum of eight . thousand three hundred and forty-five pounds, on bills drawn at very short dates, and a licence to trade in the Black Sea had also been obtained for the Company. The total number of vessels belonging to the Company was 17. The estimated assets at the present period were 18,9621.; debts to the same period 10,7111.; leaving a balance of 8,2511. in favour of the Pro prietors. Upon this balance a dividend of 7s. 6d. per share might be declared. The report was received. SUPERIOR WORKS for CLASSICAL SCHOOLS, PUBLISHED BY BALDWIN AND CRADOCK, Article.

" On the 13th (25th) a despatch was received Prom Lieutenant-General Poncet, announcing that, after leaving Sisipolis with the Kamtschatka and Dnieper regiments, a company of pioneers, two pieces of cannon, and 50 Cossacks, he di rected his march towards the Turkish entrench ments in Asia, and finding them unoccupied, he pursued the enemy, At the bay of Chingan kale he came up with the enemy's rear-guard, and took four pieces of cannon, which the Turks were compelled to leate behind them. " On the 13th (25th), a 1 out five lu the al ternoon, General Rudiger fell in with the Turkish outposts about four versts from Aidos. Some of the prisoners taken by the Cossacks stated, that after we had raised our camp beforc Shumla the Grand Vizier remained long igna-r rant of the direction our army had taken, anti that it did not become known to him until all 2.

Mr. DEACON contended that at least 50 per cent. was gained by the non-contract system; but the Company had a❑ important charge on their shoulders—he meant the lives of the public. He never would consent to have the Company's work done by contract. Each Tender must specify the price in words at length, and be delivered before One o'clock on the day appointed, and the Person who makes the Tender, or some Person on his behalf, must attend to answer when called for. M. WALLER CLIFTON. The second division of Mr. Telford's report goes much into detail with the several alterations and repairs of the line of road from Lichfield to Liverpool by Runcorn. This route of course supposes the erection of a bridge at the latter place. The following is a table of the proposed route from Lichfield to Liverpool, with the expenses to be incurred in alterations between the respec tive places : In answer to a suggestion that the money arising from the sale of the Hylton Jolife to the Turkish Government, should be divided, the Solicitor to the Company said it was intended to build a new vessel with the proceeds.—(Cries of " No, no !") Mr. HAMMOND moved a resolution, to the effect of obtaining a division of the proceeds of the Hylton Jo life. _ _ In Two Vols. Bvo. with Thirty-eight Engravings, price 31s. 6d.

The Earl Moira, Perriam, of this port, on her voyage from Guernsey, for London, sprung a leak on Saturday night last. The Captain bore up for the land, but finding the water gaining on her, the crew took to the boat, and saw her go down in half an hour after, about a mile east of the Eastbury buoy, within the Owers Lights. The crew all landed at Littlehampton on Sunday afternoon. A gentleman who travelled through part of Kent last week, informs us that in many places the floods were out to a serious extent, the road and whole fields be ing under water. The same has been the case about Hen field and other parts of this county.—Brighton Gazette. Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a perfectly white swallow was seen flying in the usual way (between the County Gaol and Mr. l'AvNE's Quarry) over the water and marshes, accompanied by a great number of common swallows. It continued that way for a full hour, so that the observers had full oppor tunity of examining it minutely.—Cork Mer. Chron. So far back as 1825 instructions were given to Mr. Telford to examine the country between part of the county of Northampton and Lich field, " in order to ascertain what improvements could be made in regard to shortening the dis tance and improving the inclinations, so as to accelerate the communication between London and Liverpool, and also accommodate the local intercourse." Pursuant to these instructions, accurate sur veys were taken under tbe:Alirection of Mr. Tel ford, whose first report on the subject is dated June, 1826, and was ordered by the House of Commons last session to be printed, with his subsequent reports. Mr. Telford commenced his survey at Wee don, and went on to Lichfield ; from Weedon it appears that the present mail-road passes through Daventry, Dunchurch, Coventry, Stone bridge, and Coleshill, to Lichfield, being a dis tance of 51 miles, 1,415 yards. Of the altera tions and improvements for shortening the dis tance between those two points, Mr. Telford thus speaks in his report : " From Weedon to Coventry, the general direc tion is unexceptionable; and since Braunstone-hill has been improved, there is no serious obstacle in the way ; and there is now a. prospect of a farther important improvement at the town of Coventry, by which the present narrow streets will be avoided ; but from Coventry the present road bends greatly to the westward to Stonebridge, and from thence turns nearly at a right angle to Coleshill and Lich field; this not only lengthens the line, but between Stonebridge and Lichfield passes over a succession Avery steep hills, and is besides in many parts un necessarily crooked, so that any attempt at improv ing it would amount to making it an entirely new road. 1 have therefore wholly abandoned it. " 2. By the map it will be seen, that between Coventry and Lichfield a very direct line of road may be had, by passing by the villages of Shustoke, Nether Whitacre, Kingsbury, and Hints; and al though the summit of the mass of high land at Cor ley-moor is elevated 245 feet above the level of Friars-green, at Coventry, yet all the inclinations may be rendered very easy, being only in two in stances for short distances, 1 in 27, 28; in every other case they are as small as consistent with per fect road-making. The distance saved between Co ventry and Lichfield by the new line would be three miles, 666 yards. The length of the new road to be made would be 24 miles, 21 yards; and the esti mated expence is 50,6041. 15s. 4d. " But as Coventry lies four miles west of a straight line drawn between Weedon and Lichfield, it became necessary to examine whether a still more direct line might not be obtained by passing through Rugby, Nuneaton, Atherstone, and Tam worth.— A survey was accordingly made in this direc tion, and it is laid down in the map. The line leaves Weedon at the junction of, the North ampton road; it passes for some distance along the Watling-street road, and upon leaving it passes in nearly a direct line by the village of Hillmorton to the town of Rugby ; from this town it passes by the villages of Newbold, Shilton, and Attleborougli to Nuneaton ; from thence by the village of Mancetter, and town of Atherstone, to Tamworth, and from that place along the present road to Lichfield. " This line is on the whole very direct, and the inclinations may be made quite easy ; very con siderable portions of the present roads have been adopted, which, although they must be wholly re made, yet in sundry instances would save purchas ing land and making fences. The distance between Weedon and Lichfield by this line is 46 miles, 146 yards, being one mile, 603 yards less than by the most improved Coventry line. The estimated ex pense is 76,522/. " As the line is now laid down, it passes through the town of Tamworth, which requires about 21 miles of new road south of that town, and also a new bridge over the ri - zer Anker; but if the pre sent road was followed to the town of Fazeley, and about one mile of new road made from that place to the hill at Hopwas, the general line would be shortened about two hundred yards ; advantage would be taken of the new bridge which is about to be constructed over the river Thame at Faze ley, and the expense of making one over the Anker at Tamworth would be saved. The amount of expenses would be about 4,255/. Bs. Bd., being about 3,473/. 17s. 3d. less than that through Tam worth. " 4. Although this last mentioned line is the most direct, yet being most expensive, I was induced to have a survey made from the town of Rugby to the Holyhead road, at the village of Willoughby, and by travellin g upon that road through the town of Daventry, to save eight miles and three-quarters of road-maki ng . T he d i stance b e tween Lichfield and Weedon, b y this route, is 46 miles, 1,261 yards, It appears that Mr. Telford gives the prefe rence to plan, No. 3, in the above table ; and we concur with him in the opinion, that the adop tion of the improvements there suggested " would be arriving as near perfection as prudence ad mits ;" for we hardly think it will be contended by the most zealous friend of expeditious com munication, that a saving of four miles, or of about half an hour in point of time in the jour nies between London and Liverpool, would be worth an expenditure of 80,0001., which is nearly the difference in the es timates of the plans No. 3 and No. 4. We cannot conclude our notice of these re ports without bestowing praise upon the well executed maps and sections by which they are accompanied ; and whatever else may be the ef fect of his labours in this work, we fully concur with Mr. Telford in thinking, that those " maps and sections, the result of this extensive survey, will at all times prove useful documents to the Post-office."— Times.

Yards. Between Weedon and Lichfieja Between Lichfield and Liverpool 11 In all 15 355 While, by getting rid of the hills and dingles, and making the whole of the road surface bard and smooth, that travelling would be further benefitted equal to one-half the above distance, or upwards of seven miles, in all 22 miles, which, in point of time, may be reckoned about two hours and a half." If to the expe►►se of the most direct road from Lichfield to Liverpool by Runcorn, we add that of the shortest and best route from Weedon to Lichfield, we shall have the sum of 249,2481. 18s. 7d., or in round numbers a quarter of a million sterling. The saving of 22 miles, or equal to two hours and a half in time, in the communications between London and Liverpool, must, no doubt, be in every point of view de sirable ; but whether its advantages would be so great as to balance an outlay of so large a sum is what we are not prepared to state. The ques tion, however, is one, the decision of which may be safely left to the sound judgment of the Post master-General and his very able assistants. They are in possession of all the details neces sary to enable them to come to a correct con clusion, as to the advantages which the public would be likely to derive from the adoption of the proposed line, and we have no doubt that in whatever they may recommend the public inte rest alone will be consulted. Among the printed papers from which we have made our extracts, is another report of Mr. Telford, made so lately as February in the pre sent year, by order of the Commissioners for the improvement of the Holyhead and Liverpool roads. In this report he takes up the survey at Talk-on-the-Hill, and proceeds from thence to Liverpool, and points out various plans by which the road may be greatly improved and much shortened. The result may be thus given : 1. Present mail road from Talk-on the-Hill, by Cranage and Knutsford, Warrington and l'rescot, to Liverpool 2. From Talk-on-the-Hill, by a new road from Cranage, direct to War rington, leaving out Knutsford, and continuing along the present road from Warrington to Liverpool, and new forming, repairing, and widening the same, addii.g to drains, &c 3. From Talk-on-the-Hill, includ ing new road, from Cranage to War rington, building a new bridge over the Mersey, and making sundry im provements upon the present road (as shown by the red lines on the map) 4.

On the Bth (20th), he detached a corps of between 10,000 and 12,000 men to drive us out of Kuprikioi and Dervish-Yovan. However, as his troops, in order to accomplish their march over the Balkan, were under the necessity of making a wide circuit through the village of Chenga, where the road was altoge ther impracticable for heavy artillery, this move ment upon Chenga could not be effected until the 11th (23d), when the vanguard, consisting entirely of cavalry, arrived at Beloff and Sutvu-i luff. As is already known to your Majesty, the fortresses on the Gulf of I3ourgas were in cur power on the Jlth and 12th (23d and 24th), and the Cossacks sent out from General Rudi ger's corps were already patrolling the road to Aidos. The rapid and unexpected appearance of our troops obliged the Grand Vizier to aban« don his first plan, and to order the corps to march in all haste towards Aidos, which he in. , tended himself to defend to the last extremity. The corps commanded by Ibrahim Paella of three tails, with two other Paellas under him„ was stated to consist of nine regiments of regu lar infantry, 1,500 regular cavalry, and 1,500 delis or irregular cavalry, with three pieces of cannon. This information of the prisoners was confirmed by our spies, with the addition that the enemy expected considerable reinforcements, which the Grand Vizier was in person to bring from Shumla. " In order to avail himself of these favourabic circumstances before the arrival of the Grtmd Vizier, General Rudiger continued his move ment upon Aidos. He, however, found himself suddenly attacked by a mass of cavalry with such impetuosity that his Cossacks were obliged to give way. The General immediately ordered the 2d brigade of the 4th Hulan division, aid four pieces of horse artillery, under the command of Major-General Sheremetieff, to support the Cossacks, and after a severe action, the enemy, notwithstanding the superiority of his force, was driven from the field of ` battle, and pursued to wards Aidos. " The enemy's infantry occupied the town in strong columns, had taken positions on the other side of it, between the Karnabat and Shumla roads, and had prepared themselves for a vigorous resistance. The well-directed fire or our artillery, which was advantageously posted, —the movement of the 36th and 37th Yagers, which, supported by the whole of the infantry of the 18th division, under the command of Major- General Prince Gortshakoff, marched from one side upon the town, and from the other on the enemy's right wing, in order to turn him ; and, finally, the movement of the cavalry, by which the enemy was in danger of having his retreat upon Karnabat cut off, began to produce confu sion in the Turkish columns, on which a general attack was at this moment directed. The town was taken, and the enemy, after an obstinate [contest of three hours, completely defeated and driven into the mountains along the Karnabat and Shutnla roads, whereby they lost 1,000 men in killed and wounded. A number of dead bodies which were found in the town, and on the ground where our new camp is pitched, were on the same day buried. We took from the enemy seven officers, 220 privates, three pieces of cannon, and four standards, which last I have the honour to lay at the feet of your Im perial Majesty. Our loss amounts to about 100 men. " In Aidos we have found considerable sup plies of every kind, and, in particular, 600 tents, 448 barrels of powder, 236 cartouch-boxes, 10 gun-carriages, and about 3,000 balls, and other artillery projectiles, various engineering tools, a great stock of hay, and a magazine containing biscuit, and about 3,000 new military cloaks for the troops. I have also the pleasure of inform ing your Majesty that we have found in Aidos the cannon belonging to our 19th artillery bri gade, which was lost in the battle of Kurtepe, on the 18th (30th) of September, last year, but which has not been used by the enemy. " On the 14th (26th), Major-Gen. Shiroff's Cossacks occupied Karnabat, where they took 40 prisoners, and on the 16th (28th) Gem Ru diger's corps entered that town. " A division, consisting of the sth regiment of the Black Sea Cossacks, and the Archduke Ferdinand's Hussars, under the command of Major-Gen. Montressor, occupied the small reconnoitringrrison th o i e f village of Itusso-Kastro, thus obtaining a strong position near Karobunar, and establishing corn. munications on the right with Gen.
