SALES BY AUCTION. THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER. R. GEORGE ROBINS. feels very great pleasure in intimating to the public that he has been selected by the worthy Proprietor to SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTION, on THURSDAY, the 16th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart, London, in lots of one share each, A considerable portion of TIIE " GLOBE" JOURNAL, a paper of which it is not a little difficult to do justice in the common language of praise. First, it may be well to state the reason why a por tion of a paper so deservedly high in the public estimation (and never at any period inn, prouder position than at this Juncture) should be in the market It is not a littlo refreshing to Mr. Robins to be called upon for this explanation. THE PRINCIPAL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE in this " LITTLE MINE OF WEALTH," and has presided over its destinies for many years, at length has reached the VENERABLE AGE OF EIGHTY-TWO, a period of life, which is but rarely vouchsafed to mankind, and, although in the enjoyment of excellent health, it may be conceded to the honourable Proprietor, that he should have a few years un alloyed from the daily pursuit of literature and profit. It belongs to him especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title to consistency ; indeed he has, without deviation, pursued the even tenor of his course. This Journal has always resisted every insidious offer to compromise its character. It has traversed its beaten path for many long years amid great vicissitudes, but always cheered by the knowledge that CHARACTER AND CONSISTENCY IS THE MOTTO CLAIMED ESPECIALLY BY THE " GLOBE." If it be asked what has been the result, it will cheer and gladden the hearts of those who value the path that has risen this paper to its just pitch of renown to know that it never was more in public estimation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur chaser an importan• query) will suggest itself, how has its income fluctuated, and what is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the fullest satisfaction on that and indeed every othar point. The statement of profits during the last ten years is before the writer of this announcement, from which he collects the fact, that the Shares HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO HIGH A VALUE AS AT THE PRESENT MOMENT. The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail in the printed Par ticulars of the Sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. The paper, it is known, is divided into SIXTY-TWO SHARES. THE VENERABLE VENDOR AT THIS SALE POSSESSES AND WILL SELL NINETEEN SHARES. "HOW INFLUENTIAL AND HOW VALUABLE" must be the privilege of one who could possess himself of the whole of these shares, and following closely in the track of his prede cessor, may continue to enjoy such an income as is not derivable from many London journals. Much more might and ought to be re ported in favour of this " FONDLING OF THE PRESS." The printed Particulars will supply any deficiency, the rest will form a short exordium on the memorable day when this portion of the " GLOBE" CHANGES HANDS. The Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the Sale ; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe," and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. FORD ABBEY, IN DORSETSHIRE. THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY, THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ITS NEVER-ENDING DE LIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF GAME, AND SPORT OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND, " THOUGH LAST NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY, PRESENTING BY FAR THE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONASTERY THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 9th of July, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trus tees for absolute sale, one of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that tie ap proaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and deeply-read community is alone to be found in the liberty the com poser will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be a bold man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the herculean task must be approached. THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since maintained its proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND. It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey-- An old, old monastery once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and tare Mis'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. extending to about SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF RICH MEADOW. PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND, entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that they are paid by a compromise with the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line passes through Willetthall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact, everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS CAN NOT BE EXCELLED THROUGHOUT ENGLAND ; AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY, "THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN. AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS." PUBLICATIONS. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated about the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it is indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and reli gious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration ; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed to the length ofan announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the assistance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by ajudgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of es. It is on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5)4 hours from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' ride of Exeter. The county in which the Abbey is tile placedtigiegood selection will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks h d t t h h landsrw rworld, w t h a e s y neverwere remarkable questioned, for the , am l accuracyds t all t of their judgment.

The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or so punctually as might • reasonably have been anticipated. Their apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required numbers, even with the most powerful machinery, in time for the Morning Expiesses and Mails ; and the number of Post-office orders which poured in made it difficult, and some days impossible, to distribute them among the Trade—so that delays in executing such orders were unavoidable.

A meeting of the shareholders was held in the Town hall, Perth, on Friday, the 12th current, for the purpose of considering the Bills for that Company's Extension, and for their amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, Major Murray Stirling in the chair. The Bills for the various extensions were submitted to the meeting, and approved of unanimously. In submitting the Bill for the proposed amalgamation, the CHAIRMAN stated that, from what he understood as to the sentiments of some of the shareholders, he was afraid that the same unanimity would not prevail in re gard to the arrangement with the Edinburgh and Glas gow Railway Company. He felt it to be his duty to state that the directors had gone into that arrangement after mature deliberation, and upon the conviction that it was likely to prove highly advantageous to the Com pany. It was most important for them to stand on a friendly footing with a company like the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, who had the command of a very large portion of the best traffic of the Central line ; and by the arrangement which they had made, not only was this secured, but a conclusion put to the very pro tracted and serious hostilities in which they had been long engaged with that powerful company and which they were likely to continue to I), engaged in unless some arrangement had been come to. A guarantee of 5 1 - per cent, had been secured to the holders of the ori ; gi pr n n a fi l tsCnec thentra Central stock, Edinburghwith annd Glasow e stock in theuparticipatio ievent nintte of their exceeding a dividend of 51 per cent. They were entitled to look to this, considering the great prosperity of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, as a most fa vourable alliance ; and the directors had thought it their duty to the shareholders to close with these terms. He was aware, however, that a different view was taken by some of the shareholders, and he would request the secretary to read to the meeting a letter which the directors had received on the subject from several large shareholders. The letter, which was in the following terms, was ,hen read. _ _ _ London, June 8, 1846. Gentlemen,—lt was our wish to have attended thv general meeting of shareholders, called for the 12th inst. at Perth, to consider the Bill for carrying the proposed amalgamation of the Scottish Central with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway into effect, but as our engage ments render that impossible, we take this method of bringing under your notice the views which we enter tain of the proposed arrangement, in which we are deeply interested, as large shareholders - of the Central stock. by the from great so England u the r to ii You need not be reminded that the Scottish Central , afforded was promoted, as forming a contin u ation of the great the central n or t t h r u o n f k s l c i o n t e l anoclfcommunication companies and the Lancaster, and Carlisle, and Caledo nian railways. It was upon this ground that it was at first favourably reported upon by the Board of Trade, and subsequently sanctioned by Parliament, in the face of the strenuous opposition of the Edinburgh and Glas. gow Railway Company. The reason for this opposition was apparent, in the interest which that company had to prevent the north and south traffic from proceeding in the direct, its natural, course, and so avoiding their line. That same interest is still in operation ; and, doubtless, it was that which led to their offering the terms of amalgamation which are now before us. It is clear, therefore, that the public interests must suffer by an amalgamation, whatever its effects may be upon those of the shareholders. You will be met by this objection the moment the Bill goes into committee, and, for ourselves, we cannot doubt that it will be fatal to its passing. To hold otherwise would be neither more nor less than to hold that the principle which guided the Board of Trade, and which subsequently was established in Parliament, after the protracted contest of last year, is to be overturned this year, the facts re maining precisely the same. We, therefore, hold the arrangement with the Edin burgh and Glasgow Company to have been from the first inexpedient, and in violation of the principle on which we obtained our Act. But we should, nevertheless, not have made any effort to disturb that arrangement, if it appeared cer tain that Parliament would sanction it. But when the reverse is the case—when the engagements made with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company are likely to be set aside, whether we desire it or not—and when we are compelled, by the resolutions lately passed in Par liament, to come forward and express our opinions afresh on the arrangements entered into by our directors, we think we are bound to consider it in all its bear ings, and to act in such a manner as a regard to our own interests requires. Better terms might, we think, have been obtained from the southern companies, in cluding a guarantee on the new as well a. the old stock ; and it is within our own per sonal knowledge—and we vouch for the fact— that these are still within our reach, and might I be immediately secured, if we were in a condition to treat—in other words, if the present arrangement were put an end to at the meeting of the 12th, as we confidently trust it will be. An arrangement with the companies south of us would not be liable to the same objections in Parliament as the amalgamation now proposed. They are our natural allies—they have already been treated by the Board of Trade and by Parliament as such. Our interests are identical. The more closely we can be brought together the better both for the public and ourselves. For every reason, therefore, we conceive it to be for the interest of the shareholders to withold their approval of the present Bill, and so make way for the adjustment of terms with the Southern Com panies, in place of going before the committee and being defeated, as we apprehend they certainly will be. We feel it our duty to record our protest against the competency of the meeting, called for the 12th, giving their approval to the proposed arrangements. The Bill deals with the new stock as well as the old, but the holders of the new stock have not been summoned, and we maintain that no binding resolution can be come to at that meeting in a matter in which their interests aro so deeply concerned. It is most probable that many proxies may be trans mitted to you, to be used at the meeting in favour of the measure, by parties who are in ignorance of the true state of matters, and of the advantageous terms which may be secured from the Southern Companies, We submit that these proxies cannot with propriety be acted upon without an opportunity being first afforded to the parties of re-considering their position. We have to request that you will oblige us by directing this letter to be read to the meeting, and we remain, Gentlemen, better offers must be given by kestim whose interests were naturally identified witl to whoiii it was of the last importance to sect re this im pdtant link in the great trunk line of communication from north to south. Besides, if the amalgamation were approved of at this meeting, what would be the result ? They would go to Parliament with the certainty of being defeated, and if they were defeated, the southern com panies would not have the same incentive to offer them high terms as they had now. Those partners of the Company who were in the same position as himself, as holding only the new stock, had an additional reason for disapproval of this amalgamation, inasmuch as they had no guarante e , while they were made to undertake all the responsibiliti es of their copartners; he, therefore, begged to propose the following amendment:— " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the amalgamation proposed by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company with the Scottish Central Company, will not prove advantageous to the interests of the pro prietors of this Company in general, and that the terms are most unjust to the proprietors of the new shares in the Scottish Central Company, by excluding them from the guarantee for the payment of 5f per cent. interest on their capital. " That, according to the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the amalgamation of' the railway companies, and the recorded decisions of Parlia mentary Committees, there is every reason to anticipate that the proposed amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company will not be sanctioned. •"That the meeting resolves, that the amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company be not approved." The CHAIRMAN then stated that he feared the amend ment could not be proposed to the meeting by Majer Richardson, as he was merely a scripholder ; upon which Major Richardson protested against this decision, and requested his protest to be entered in the minutes. Mr. MARTIN, a shareholder, then stated that he was willing to adopt Major Richardson's amendment, and to move it. In doing so, he begged particularly to guard himself and the gentlemen concurring in his views, against any charge of breach of faith with the Edin- burgh and Glasgow Railway Company. In ordinary circumstances they would not have thought of disturbing the arrangement, however disadvantageous they might have thought it, after it had been approved of by a gene ral meeting, as this had been. But they were specially called on by the Government resolutions to reconsider their position, and to record their opinions anew upon these arguments. It surely was not intended that they were to meet merely to reiterate their former opinion, whether they continued the same or not ; but that they were to be free to act as if no such opinion had been ex ' pressed. In proposing that the amalgamation should not be approved of, he did not go so much upon the question whether the terms obtained from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway were good or not. He was not prepared to go into an investigation of that Company's seven or eight millions of liabilities ; nor could he hope to satisfy any meeting such as this as to whether their liabilities were judiciously incurred or not. But what his friends and himself went upon was this—that how ever advantageous the amalgamation might be for the shareholders of the Central, Parliament never would sanction it. By agreeing to go on with the amalgama tion, the Central were again embarking in the expensive discussion of last year, whether the through traffic was to be given to the Central lines, or to the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the coast lines running south from its termini ; and in doing so the Central would be driven to take up the very arguments which had been used against themselves last year, by this very Edinburgh and Glas gow Company, and which they had then succeeded in overturning. They would have against them the report of the Board of Trade, the recorded decision of both Houses last session, and, in addition to this, the very formidable opposition of the Great Central South lines, and a large portion of their own shareholders. That this struggle must end in defeat he could have no doubt, and its expense would form kvery serious and profitless addition to their expenditure. He concluded by moving Major Richardson's amendment. Mr. DAVID RITCHIE seconded the amendment. The motion and amendment were then put from the chair, when there were found to be 206 votes for the motion, and 140 votes for the amendment. The result of this vote, we understand, will put an end to the annul. gamation of the Companies, as the approval of" at least three-fifths" of the proprietors present at this meeting is required by the standing orders. Three-fifths of the votes is 207, while only 206 voted for the measure. The meeting then broke up, after a vote of thanks, on the motion of Major Richardson, to the Chairman. ~~'7 ►' GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. EXPERIMENTAL TRIP WITH THE MONSTER ENGINE (THE GREAT WESTERN) TO BRISTOL. We live in strange and stirring times, and it becomes our duty therefore to chronicle strange and almost un believable facts. In travelling, the slow and sure prin ciple of our ancestors has given way to the rapid anal safe principles of the present day. A few years ago we should have been designated madmen, had we stated our belief it the possibility or IMPIERfreg in London, taking our luncheon in Bristol, and returning to the metropolis in time for dinner. Such a feat, however, we accomplished on Saturday last, thanks to the daring energy and unflagging perseverance of those who have the management of that stupendous undertaking, the Great Western Railway Company : A select party were' on Saturday invited by the Directors of the Great Western Company to accompany them in an experimental trip to Bristol, with the double purpose of testing the power of their new engine and of manifesting the advantages 11 hich they allege the broad gauge possesses over its rival, the narrow gauge. The engine in question was built by Mr. Gooch, for the company, and its powers on trial have , been deemed so extraordinary as to warrant the di rectors in taking the most effectual means for testing them, and of placing the results in an unexceptionable shape before the public. We believe it was at first in tended to tax the powers of speed of the new engine to their fullest extent, and to show what speed could be attained with a comparatively light load. It was at first contemplated to carry a load of 80 tons at a speed of somewhere about 78 miles an hour. It was under stood that the engine could accomplish this with com parative ease, as in some previous experimental trips the engine attained the extraordinary rapidity of 79imtles an hour with a light load. It was eventually decided that the trip should:be made with a load of shalt 110 tons, at a speed which would accomplish the distance be tween the stations at Paddington and Bristol, a dis tance of nearly 118 miles, in about two hours and ten minutes, including stoppages ; averaging, at this rate, a speed of upwards of 55 miles an hour ,• but, allowing for stoppages, about 56 miles per hour. At a quarter to 12 the mammoth engine of the railway world, The Great Western, was attached to the carriages, 14 in num ber, weighing, as we have before stated, 110 tons, and at 10 minutes before 12 o'clock exactly the train set off at almost lightning speed. Nothing could be more delightful than the ease, smoothness, and safety of the performance of the powerful engine by which the train was propelled. Trees, hedges, villages, and sta tions, appeared and disappeared with the rapidity of thought, and yet the passenger—whirled along as swift as the wind—felt no other sensation than those of plea sure and complete security. We passed the Slough station, a distance of 18 miles from London, at 10 minutes past twelve ; Maidenhead station, 22i miles, at a quarter past 12 ; Tw_yford, 3011 miles, at 24 minutes past 12 ; Reading, 351 miles, at 29 minutes past 12; Pangbourne, 41 miles from London, at 35 minutes past 12 ; Goring, 441 miles, at 38 minutes past twelve ; and arrived at Didcot, 53 miles from London, at 12 minutes to one ; having accomplished 53 miles in 58 minutes. At this station we stopped a se g v a e in n mininfivateess,taynlde a o t n five orur minuteswat from oßristol. too n Weoe London we d n dashed. apnadss off 3e id 4 the Stcventon station, o6 i miles miles from Didcot, at one minute past 1 ; Farringdon i road station, 63 miles from London and 10.1 from Didcot, at nine minutes past one; Shrivenham, 71+ miles from London, and 181 from Didcot, at 17 minutes past one, and arrived at Swindon, 77 miles . from Lon don, and 24 from Didcot, at 24 minutes past one. At this station we stopped five minutes, and at 29 minutes past one the Leviathan engine was again in motion, and \ again we were attempting to annihilate time and space. We passed the Wootton Bassett station 824 miles from London and 54 from Swindon, at 24 minutes to two ; Chippenham, 931: miles from London, and 164 from ' Swindon, at 13 minutes to 2 ; Corsham, 98+ miles from London, and 21+ from Swindon, at 8 minutes to 2 ; we passed through the Box tunnel, 1,1 miles, in less than 2 minutes ; the Box station, 1011 miles from London, and 241 from Swindon, at 4 minutes to 2 ; the Bath station, 1061 miles from London, and 294 miles from Swindon, and 34 fromtlmlnute Swindon, a ti2d;Saltft 8 minutesord,ll 1 m past 2 miles from London, ; Keynsham, 1131 miles from London, and 364 from Swindon, 10} minutes past 2 ; and arrived at Bristol, 1181 miles from London, and 411 from Swindon, at a + past 2, having accomplished the entire distance in 2 hours and 24 minutes. Our readers will observe. from these details, that the greatest rate of speed was between Swindon and Bath, in some parts of that distance 75 miles an hour having been accomplished. Our forefathers would have held that to be a mere idle Your very obedient Servants. To the Directors of the Scottish Central Railway. The Chairman then put the motion that the bl be approved of, which was seconded by Mr. John Murray. Major Richardson, a scripholder of the company's new stocks, was proceeding to address the meeting, when it was objected by Mr. Oliphant of condie, that he was not entitled to take any part in the proceedings, as this was a meeting of the company incorporated by the Aet of last year, and not of the scripholders. A meeting had already been held of the scripholders, and they had given their decision on the subject. Major Richardson stated, that his information was that this Bill had not been submitted to any meeting of scrip holders, who, it must be borne in mind, held one-third of the stock of the whole company, and had, therefore, a most vital interest in the measure, and begged to ask the secretary whether his information was correct or not. Mr. KERR, the secretary, stated that the Bill for the amalgamation had not been submitted to any meeting of the scripholders. After some discussion as to the right of Major Richardson to be heard, the CHAIRMAN stated, that al though the meeting would be most happy t o li s t en to anything which Major Richardson might have to urge on the part of the scripholders in regard to the subject before them, it was not, he feared, in their power to receive his vote. Major RICHARDSON then stated that he appeared on behalf of himself and other large scripholders of the new stock of this Company to express their views in re gard to the proposed amalgamation, bywhich he conceived their interests to be most deeply affected. The two most important steps in a man's life were the choice of a wife and of a partner. Of the two, the latter was the more cri tical, because it was more difficult to get rid of a bad part ner than of a bad wife. The first point, therefore, for them to consider was, what were the liabilities of their proposed partners, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way? He should be very sorry to intrude upon them any exparte views of his own on this subject, but he was able to bring the most conclusive evidence from the most unexceptionable quarter. He held in his hand the evi dence of the Company's own manager, Mr. Gregson, be fore the Select Committee of the House of Commons on amalgamation, given so lately as the Ist of last month, from which it appeared that the Company were engaged in the - promotion of seven new lines, and that they were connected, as guaranteeing a certain dividend upon a certain capital, with seven other railways, and three ex isting canals. In this way, while the original capital of the Company was only 1,687,500/., it was involved in schemes embracing a capital of between seven and eight millions. This was in itself a very startling fact, and the meeting ought to consider very deliberately before they entered into a partner Ship with a company which had so suddenly increased its liabilities to this enormous extent. They were justified in regarding the manage ment of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway with ex treme suspicion, when they found from Mr. Gregson's evidence that his services had been secured with the view of redeeming the Company from the insolvent position into which it had fallen. He was asked by the Chair man of the Committee, whether he was employed to take the charge of those railways " in consequence of the state in which thy were ?" and what was his re ply ? " Certainly. The proprietors of these undertak ings found that their affairs were in such is state that it required some person of much experience in the management both of railways and canals, to take charge of them with the view to obtain a dividend." Was this a company with which the Scottish Central ought to court an alliance ? His friends and himself thought not. The Scottish Central, from its position, held the key to the whole North of Scotland, and must always be one of the best, if not the very best, line in Scotland. Let it stand alone, and it must yield a better dividend than the Edinburgh and Glasgow had guaran teed ; and, if they did stand aloof, he was satisfied that dream, which is accomplished daily, and is now a mere matter-of-fact occurrence. We can understand the pro digious velocity with which an avalanche of necessity descends an inclined plane, but to find the same speed realised by mechanical skill, an a plane in which the gradients are sometimes much beyond the horizontal level. is to the unscientific little short of miraculous. As ' soon . as the visitors were released from the carria g es, they engine appro priatelyper- f or med such an unsurpa ssed feat. The lar g e size , power, proceeded named , t , o T i h n e s inspect t at the Western wonderful h ich had w and beauty of the engine excited universal admiration. The engine weighed, as we were given to understand. not less than 20 tons. The directors and visitors then adjourned to the long room in the station, where a N i n i b p i e r t o t i s u sbi andstyle. h e l n ' u a r n t i l i e il , e c j b u a s m ti p c e a g ,,, n a B e d . co llation, comprehending the ch o i ces t v i an d s an d w i nes „ andon, V'as c s l p a r r e e a t d we in re been done to all these aristocratic creature comfgarts, 1 CHARLES RUSSELL, Esq., M.P., the chairman, wild it was his intention, as time was of the essence of import ance at the present moment, not to delay the comp any by any long speeches. lie should only propose two toasts, both of which he had no &Ink all present w ould drink most enth us i a stically.

The health of her Majesty was drank with win e tir aes nine, and one cheer more. The CHAIRMAN said the next tcast he had to prop ( )se was, "Success to the broad gauge and the Greet vv, 's tern engine,"—(Great cheering. It was usuoa i n ti he - - S It may now be asked, " Where is to be found a corresponding case ?" AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of income, it should be said THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as also the Baginton and Brandon property. There is an abundance of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which furnish constant amusement to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably might be improvet by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste. There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where the proprietor would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionallydnring the sporting season. The next point requiribg a commentary is the rcntal—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low rental is 1,5501, a year ; but it is quite manifest that SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by givng to each a fourteen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti cated with his family on the hill, and whose quiet abode overlooks Coventry and its beautiful' spires, it would be in bad taste to refuse a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and some time since this was prov4d by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Mellor's grounds are beautifully disposed, and more especially the wild flower-garden, (under the worthy lady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing variety. LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD are close allies ; AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART. is close at hand. The farms are very productive in the soil for white crops, especially wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land ; but as dairy farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The c ,, ntiguity to one of the first markets in England, and the facility to return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by way of conclusion, Mr. Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get into good farms now-a•days), if the every day observation, resound ing now from all quarters, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, is not rendered most manifest by the above Unassuming recital of facts ? The particulars are ready, and will be distributed, with a draw ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, Jun., of Coventry. His father (the eminent practitioner of this great city) will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint a fit man to go over the estate.

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND RECHERCHE PART OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF TON AND THE SEVERN, ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND; AROUND IT ARE ITS PLEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE EXTENDING TO 50 ACRES, ALL FREEHOLI) AND LANE TAX REDEEMED. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating he has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price, at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on Thursday, the 25th of June, at One, for Two o'clock, precisely, in Two Lots. A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL and altogether a MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. It is well known and highly appreciated as THE SEVERN - HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid river Severn and the passage into Monmouthshire. A description of thia - vino -abode in a saw.ttow of.auar:omaity hot t ha_writcr, his representation must necessarily be very incomplete, inasmuch, as although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four miles, yet it is confidently stated that there is nothing to present itself that can be put in juxta-position with Severn House. The position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an unusual degree of the extent, and what may really be justly termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. _ It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appreciate, but it is believed a very few gleanings will suffice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a villa which it is universally conceded, stands alone both for situation and prepossessing appearance. It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, keep the cold winds at a most respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it would appear that fairy land has been sought to aid the great design. On perambulating through these splendid grounds the views are (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit. THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVERN AND THE AVON .. . . _ is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis tance must be seen if the reaeer desires to appreciate it, for it is quite certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob jects entirely disregarded. Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride, Project their waving umbrage o'er the tide; While, gently perching on the leafy spray, Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay. The road from Clifton is full of variety, and on arriving at the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingenuity must have been brought Into the field to accomplish the delightful ascent to be encountered from the very pretty entrance-lodge-gate ; but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety, not to rely on anything short of ocular demonstration ; as the fame of this residence has extended far and near, it necessarily renders it a work of supererogation and lightens the necessity to go into a more minute detail than this hasty compo sition will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is close at hand, and becomes an auxiliary that it would be an injustice to overlook. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will surround him, he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the great lions of the county THE are close at hand. FAMED PIERCEFIELD _ _ is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for fame, is not far off, the verdant seenery which interposes itself in the progress to these highly commended properties extends over a vale so rich and lovely that its beauties seem to exceed the powers of commendation, and be it remembered all this (and very much more than has been asserted in this brief analysis) is within four hours' pleasant drive of the metropolis of London. This delightful abode hm not yet been noticed sufficiently. " THERE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SNOW." It is a building of considerable pretensions in its outward and visible signs; and a family, although numbering very many, will find the most ample accommodation within ; it may be added, that it lacks nothing that can be understood in the comprehensive term of com fort. The out-offices are most complete throughout, the court yard is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will find in the stabling and coach houses all that ingenuity can suggest. The kitchen-gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty brick walls, and the soil is exceedingly prolific; the fruit is considered unusually high flavoured. THE HOT AND SUCCESSION-HOUSES are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise. There is besides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, In excellent taste, and shedding its beauteous fragrance on all around, and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN from these gardens considerable knowledge, the bulbs being a selec tion in great part imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci mens that that city is famed for. The scenery everywhere appears interminable, tends to give a pleasing variety, which again, it is pro claimed, fears nothing by a comparison throughout this far-famed county. It is in the midst of plenty, everything very reason able—the sea close at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour in their auxiliaries daily. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIFTY ACRES OF ADMIRABLE LAND, in which is included A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS, MANORIAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of considerable extent, and the principal part of the estate is within a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this admired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the ad joining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl Poulett and Lord 'Eridport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault. The full description, with plans and a drawing of the famed Abbey, are ready and may be had at the White Lion Inn, Bristol ; White Hart, Bath ; Castle, Taunton ; Chard Arms Hotel, Chard ; Mr. Whitaker, solicitor, 12, Lincoln's Inn-fields, London ; Mr. Paul, solicitor, The Close, Exeter ; Mr. Salter, solicitor, Chard ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London, at Two Shill ings each, (this being with the sole view to prevent A mien and .Ilia matribntion fifths 111111Utleigar0 --- - - giving to the industrious views of the proprietor a very delightful re source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in improving the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from this seat of happy contentment. The progress to the summit of this QUITE PERFECT BIJOU has been the work of considerable tact and judgment. It is almost imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in admiring and beholding the scenery around. The prolific array of American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from Harlem. From the elevated spot, in these woods are seen the Castle of Blaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's and Ragland Castle ; indeed There is nothing left to fancy's guess, You see that all is loveliness. By way of conclusion it should be remarked that, in spite of wintry winds, the full growth of the Plantations excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode, The ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in an irresist ible claim is perfect. It would puzzle ingenuity to discover a solitary fault. It can only be seen on Tuesdays and Saturdays from twelve till five o'clock, and not without a particular and drawing (which will cost one shilling for a party, to be had also of Messrs. Cameron and Booty, solicitors, Gray's Inn ; of Messrs. Osborne, Ward, and Co., solicitors, Bristol; at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol; White Hart, Bath; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. , N w C h O o M b P y A t E h y A ITO n E d r E o E aru Y s S t, N -1:: rFF.

HALLETTE'S ATMOSPHERIC SYSTEM. On Saturday a series of experiments were made at the Rosemary Branch, Peckham, to illustrate the new at mospheric system discovered by Monsieur Hallette. The experiments, it is right to remark, have been daily made for some weeks past,, but on Saturday a peculiar interest attached to them, in consequence of its being understood that Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Vignoles, the celebrated engineers, with other scientific gentlemen, would be pre sent to test the merits of the system. Mr. Vignoles having before been known to be favourable to the atmos pheric system, his warm approval of the system, as im proved by M. Hallette, did not excite so much surprise. Mr. Stephenson has always been an avowed opponent of the atmospheric, as far as regards its practicability ; , and, therefore, the greatest anxiety was manifested by the friends of Monsieur Halletts's [system to learn his opinions of it, after examining the portion of the model line laid down at the Rosemary Branch. Before referring to what Mr. Stephenson said of Monsieu r Hallette s system, it may be proper to mention what its great peculiarity is. It is the construction of the horizontal valves, which are made on the principle of the human lips in their compressed state: The material of the horizontal valves is India rubber, formed into air- tight tubes, which, as soon as separated, by the train running along, instantly expands by the force of the air acting on so elastic a substance as India rubber. One very great advantage of the employment of India rubber is, that it remains entirely unaffected by the seasons. It is equally available in the summer's heat and the winter's cold. Mr. Stephenson having carefully examined the ap • paratus, and put various questions to the inventor, for the purpose of receiving information on particular points, ex pressed his very great admiration of the improvement which M. Hallette had made in the atmospheric system. " But," said Mr. Stephenson, " assuming the system to be not only theoretically and scientifically good, but even perfect, there are two important practical ques tions which I wish to ask its advocates. In the first place what would be the cost of construction and of working a line on the atmospheric principle, as compared with one laid down and worked on the locomotive prin ciple ? Secondly, I wish to know whether the public could rely on its being regularly worked ?" In reference to the first question, Mr. Stephenson said that the average cost of laying down a single line of rails on the locomotive principle did not now exceed 6,0001. or 7,000/. per mile, while the mere expenses of locomotive working had been still further reduced. Though the entire yearly expenses of the London and Birmingham were 400,0001., the expenses of the locomo tive department were only 70,0001. Mons. Hallette said he could not speak so positively about the expenses of the construction of a line on his system, but he did not think it would exceed 6,0001. per mile. In cases where the trains ran frequently, the expenses of working would be much less than on a line worked on the locomotive principle. With regard to the regularity of working the atmos pheric, Mr. Stephenson had doubts, because if an accident happened at one of the engine -houses, it would take a very considerable time to repair it. On the London and Birmingham line ten accidents to the engines happened, on an average, every day ; but, having seventy stationary engines now en the line, and in a very short time there would be 130 always available, these accidents did not cause any sensible delay in the arrival of the trains. On the atmospheric principle he thought that accidents at the engine stations would put a stop to the entire com munication from one end of the line to the other. Mons. Hallette and other gentlemen dissented from Mr. Stephenson's opinion on this point, and maintained that any accident to the machinery on an.atmospheric line could be repaired as promptly and eas il y as on a locomotive line. Mr. St e ph enson futher referred to the inapplicability of the atmospheric system to such a line as the London and Blackwell, in consequence of the numerous intermedi a t e s t a ti ons . The loss of time by five stoppages in a line less than four miles in length, would be very great, and would prove a fatal objection to the atmospheric system. Last week 107,000 persons had travelled on the London and Black wall line, and it is calculated that two-thirds of the , en tire traffic are between the intermediat e stations. These stations, therefore, are necessary , and the required ac commodation could never be a ff ? rded by the at mospheric system. It was maintained on the other side, that the London and Blackwell was not a fair instance, because there was no other line in which the intermediate stations were so nu merous. Mr. Stephenson admitted this, and a l so ad mitted that the time lost by stoppages on th e a t mosp h er i c system would be in a great measure m a d e up b y t h e superior velocity 'at which it proceeded when at full speed. Mr. Stephenson remarked that the atmospheric system had this advantage over the locomotive—that there were no limits to its velocity, while the locomotive had already attained its utmost speed, so far as scientific men at present knew. He repeated that he was willing to assume that the atmospheric, as now improved, is per fect, and that on some lines it would be much superior to the locomotive system ; but he still had his doubts as to the commercial superiority of the atmospheric to the locomotive system, and that was a very important ques tion in a commercial country like England.
