Heroic Vera Cruz, Aug 16, 1846. IRELAND. STATE OF THE PROVINCES. DunuN, OCT. 7.—A letter dated Tuam, October 5, in the Freeman's Journal, gives an alarming account of the state to which the population of that town and neigh bourhood is at present reduced:— " I am sorry to inform you that this town, I may say, ;„ ;„ - -ftttle in the onen (Ir e in spite of the police and townspeople. inere was heifer belonging to William Sinnott taken yesterday on the top of the hill of Tullynadally road, in spite of the drivers. The animal was killed and carried off, and nothing left but the hide and part of the fat. Other cattle were stopped this day. The people cannot help this outbreak, for if they even had money they cannot get bread, as the Galway people are not letting any of it come to us. Mrs. Davis, of Claremorris, was severely injured coming from Galway with flour. The people are watching the batches of bread coming out of the ovens, and almost killing each other for it. Mr. Blake's mill was kept going all day yesterday (Sunday) dressing and grinding whole flour, and they were divid ing it up to two o'clock this morning, so you may judge how the town is. Dragoons are expected here every moment." A writer in the Waterford Chronicle furnishes the subjoined sketch of affairs at Dungarvan : " DIINGARVAN, OCT. s.—lt is impossible for the most sagacious to calculate where the present state of things will end. The people are starving ; hundreds are living upon a meal of cabbage and salt in 24 hours. They want employment, and a rate of wages which will support themselves and their families. 10d. a day is offered them, and it is refused ; for that sum would, according to the present price of Indian meal—the cheapest de scription of food—be perfectly inadequate to support more than one man. And I ask, in the name of God, are the wife and children of the wretched labourer to starve ? Soul-harrowing as it is to think of it, there is no other alternative for them, if the Board of Works give only 10d. a day. The stubborn adherence to the Treasury minute' appended to the Labour Act, in not giving more than this unfor tunate 10d. a day, is already producing its effects upon the country, particularly in the rural districts in the west of this country. Great bodies of the peasantry are nightly patrolling the county, making visits to the houses of the several farmers, for the purpose of inti midating them into refunding the rents paid for conacre land this year ; alleging, that as the potatoes failed, no value was had, and, consequently, farmers should refund the rents. Already several of the inti midators have been arrested—to the number, I believe, of twenty-four. The military are out every night in search. There is a force new in this town, including police, dragoons, and cavalry, of about seven hundred —a considerable reinforcement is hourly expected. A rumour that about 8,000 armed peasantry were en camped at Ballinamult, a distance of nine miles to the west of Dungarvan, was afloat here to-day; in conse quence of which, I have learned, that a force of some thing near five hundred, consisting of dragoons, infan try, police, &c., under General Sir Charles O'Donnell, accompanied by P. C. Howley, Royal Marines, left town this morning at eleven o'clock, and marched towards the place of the rumoured encampment of the peasantry. I trust that no collision will take place. Sad would, in deed, be the result if there should." The accounts from Tipperary are extremely unfavour able. Agrarian outrages, of the old stamp, are daily increasing, destitution lending fresh vigour to the Rockite organisation. THE ARMY. The Queen's Bays, in the Royal Barracks, ha►e re ceived the route for Newbridge. Three troops of the 7th Hussars arrived at the North wall from Liverpool, and on disembarking from the steamers proceeded on their route to Athlone, which will be the head-quarters of the regiment. THE CONFLICT AT CASTLECONNELL. The Nenagh papers of yesterday give the correct version of the circumstances which led to the luss of life at Castleconnell on Sunday last. The military were, it seems, the leading transgressors ; indeed, nothing could be more disgraceful, or subversive of discipline, than the conduct of the draught of the 88th Regiment. The Tipperary Vindicator's account is as follows : " A draught of the 88th Regiment of Foot (the Con naught Rangers), en route to Cork to join head-quarters at present stationed at Malta, passed through Nenagh on Friday, and appeared rather excited in consequence of drink. They attempted to create a row with the police after nightfall, but they did not succeed, owing in a great measure to the forbearance of the police. On Saturday they marched for Castleconnell, where they arrived that day; and on Sunday night after, we understand, giving annoyance to the police stationed there during the day, in which they were joined by some of the idle scamps of the place, they proceeded to attack the police barracks, breaking in the windows both in front and rear, when, we regret to say, the police fired, and the consequence was that a poor man who was passing from a chandler's with candles, and the father of a family of seven shildren, was shot dead ; a soldier was also severely wounded, the ball having passed through the latter, who is yet dangerously ill, and hit the former, who died almost immediately. The utmost confusion and excitement prevailed during the night, and throughout Monday, so much so that two pieces of artillery and a large number of soldiers were ordered to the spot from Limerick. An inquest was held before Mr. Bennet, the coroner, when a verdict according to the facts was returned. It is to be re marked that the soldiers appeared to be under very loose discipline. Their conduct during the short time they re mainedoie in e Ne n withaghnotionof w tb a a s t a b o y l dnio mean s e rl ydemeanour calculated which to shouldnsp re be observed by the army on all occasions. They seemed particularly Obnoxious to the police, and did what lay in their power to annoy and irritate them. We should wish to see the police, too, under that strict control which would prevent their use of fire-arms in the deadly man ner they used them on Sunday night; and, while we say so, we are bound to add that peace and order would have prevailed, if the 88th were better conducted and under proper rules ; as it is, an unoffending victim has fallen, and serious injury has been inflicted on more than one of the soldiery." According to the Nenagh Guardian, the conduct of the military was even more disgraceful than is represented in the foregoing account. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. It is reported to-day that the coast guard and revenue police establishments are to be amalgamated and placed under one authority. It is intended to make the coast guard a purely naval service--all civilians are to be superseded by lieutenants in the Royal Navy, and the inspector-general by a post-captain—the civilians, in cluding the inspector-general, to retire on pensions, and the service altogether deprived of its' civil character. DEER STALKING. The first week of October generally ends the regular sport of the deer-stalker. A few of the oldest stags will yet be selected, while they roam through the forest, bel lowing and shouting defiance to the younger stags of the herds. The following notes from the conies are mostly the returns of the last fortnight :—At Torridon, W. 0. Jackson, Esq., stalked four red deer, killing two of the number, both stags, with right and left shots. At Dundreggan, R. Anthill, Esq., ended his sport for the season, with two of the longest range shots we have heard of—killing a stag, with royal and cupped horns, with his first ball, 267 yards distant, and, with the second ball, a hind, 284 yards from the rifle. In his forest, at Rhidorrach, J. H. Mackenzie, Esq., shot three fine stags, one of them with thirteen antlers. Mr. M. has this season killed thirteen stags, the smallest weigh ing 17 stone, and the largest 22 stone. From the same forest, J. G. Craig, Esq., took a splendid stag, with royal horns, beautifully shaped. FP'om Corriemony, a beautiful head, with horns thickly studded with projec tions, was sent for preservation, and was shot by N. E. Vaughan, Esq. At LochalA, E. Buxton, Esq., got a stag and hind ; and at Dundonnel, Captain W. Boyd shot two stags and two hinds. Sir St. George Gore, Bart., stalked and shot five stags last week at Strath vaich—three of them in one day. We hear that the Marquis of Abercorn, has had excellent sport this sea son in the forest, having killed some very fine stags, all in capital condition. Cluny Macpherson shot one of the largest stags that has been seen this year on his Aberar der grounds, weighing, as he fell, 24 stones and 3 lbs. At Conon, Capt. B. Knight made an excellent double shot at roe, killing a buck and doe right and left, without taking the gun from his shoulder.—lnverness Courier. The railways in course of construction in Ireland afford employment to 40,000 labourers, to whom 26,0001 are paid weekly in wages. A loan from the Govern ment to those railway companies that have got Acts of Parliament would double the above return in men and labour.—Limerick Chronicle. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPCY, October 9. (Before Mr. CommissioneSHEPHEß.D.) IN RE J. W. Ells. This bankrupt, a woollen warehiseman in Cheapside, applied for his certificate. His d(ta and liabilities are about 8,0001., and assets " none." Messrs. Jaques and Edwards tare for the assignees, and Mr. Vansandau for Messrs. wane and Webb, to op pose. . _ The ground of opposition was cntracting debts with out reasonable means of paymen The bankrupt dis solved partnership with his broth( in 1845, and he then continued in business with a defifency of 9001. There was no capital, but the Commercil Bank of Leeds con sented to advance 1,0001., and the knkrupt's brother gave them security. The bank hel( several bills to the amount of about 1,9001., besides S very heavy debt, and about six months before the bauruptcy, the bank ob tained a warrant of attorney. Tith the knowledge of this the bankrupt got goods to fe extent of 1,5001., all of which are still unpaid for. he warehouse is now full, and the bank came in undeitheir warrant of attor ney, and seized property to the %tent of 1,4001. It was now contended that the bankrupt had got these goods for the purpose of giving the bank a pre ference over the other creditors to release the brother's security, and that he had grosly misconducted himself as a holder. Upon the part of the bsnktupt, it was stated that the profits were 1,0001. a year, wbile the expenses were only 3501., and that the cause cf this bankruptcy was the re turn of bills, and certain creditors agreeing to sell upon credit, then claiming reads money. His Horroue, said that under the circumstances he must suspend tho certificate for six months, with pro tection. IN RE GEoßail 7frrrENHALL. This bankrupt was described as a stock and share broker, of Bank-chambers, but has been largely engaged in railway speculations. This day was fixed for the choice of assignees, and last examination upon the fol lowing balance-sheet, the principal items in which we subjoin, commencing in May, 1845, and ending in August, 1846 :—To creditors, 1,4661.; to creditors, on differences, 2,3861.; liabilities, 810/.; and capital, about 100/. By debtors —doubtful, 2,000/4 bad, 159/4 and property, 6/. 103., being the proceeds of office furniture. Lord Southampton standing as a creditor for 1,2001. Expenses attending getting up a railway company, which did not succeed (the Somerset and North Devon), which cost me 7/. 10s. Sundry differences in Consols, about 300/. Mr. Beacon said he had to complain of the conduct of the bankrupt respectins a transactiontAit l iirid"vanced 501. They were 600/, and when they were at 52/, he (Mr. Beacon) made several applications for them, but could not get a satisfactory answer. Mr. LAWRANCE (for the bankrupt)—You have not proved your debt, I believe ? Mr. Beacon—l have not. His Hotiouit—Then you cannot be heard. Mr. LAWRANCH said that Mr. Beacon was a creditor for 42L, which was the difference of what these bonds sold for, and what was handed over to this creditor. If he had to complain of any fraud, he could do so at the certificate meeting, after he had proved his debt. He (Mr. Lawrance) believed that the assignees required a cash account. The balance-sheet was not filed in suffi cient time, and an adjournment must be made. After some further discussion the case was adjourned till the 18th of December, in order that it might be heard before Mr. Commissioner Fane, who would have to decide upon the certificate. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. IRISH LINES. GALWAY AND MOUNTMELLICK. An influential meeting of the merchants and gentry has been held in Galway to meet Messrs. J. G. Adair, Robert Power, solicitor, and William Hogan, C.E., M.R.1.A., promoters of the Galway and Mountmellick Railway. Among the gentlemen present were Francis Blake, Cregg Castle; Nicholas Lynch, Barna; Thomas A. Joyce, Rahaeane •, Robert Bodkin, Annah; James Blake, Tully; Francis Comyn, Woodstock; George E. Burke, Danesfield; A. O'Flaherty, Knockbane; Major Mahon, Belville; P. M. Lynch, Renmore Lodge; John D. Bon. kin, Bengarra; Pierce Joyce, Mounthazel; Rev. John D'Arcy, Vicar's Croft; Charles F. Lynch, Blackrock; Rev. John Moore; Mark A. Lynch, Nile Lodge; Thomas Comins, Ballybrit; James Costello, • James Mahon, William N. Nally, Lambert Mahon, H.C.d. Stephens, T.C., &c. Upon the motion of the Rev. Mr. D'Arcy, Nioholas Lynch, D.L., was called to the chair. The Rev. Mr. D'Aacv said that the object which con vened them was, to meet gentlemen who had proposed to promote the establishment of railway communication between this and Mountmellick. The people of Mount mellick having procured an Act in the last session for a railway from their own town to meet the Cashel line near Portarlington, proposed to extend it now to Gal way. In every district along the line proposed it ap peared to be well locally supported, and it was to run so far southward as to avoid any jealousy from any other company, and to traverse districts rich in agri cultural and manufacturing industry, and where the population was not only numerous, but generally very comfortable. These were great advantages ; and all they were now called on to do, in order to have this project put in a proper train, was to subscribe about 180 L to pay the cost of making out maps of the preliminary survey and some other unavoidable incidental expenses. (Hear, hear.) He thought they would be very culpable, and that it would be a great blot upon their character, if, under such circumstances, they did not autmort project now submitted to them. Mr. ADAIR said that he was connected with Mount mellick, and that the inhabitants were anxious to effect a railway communication with Galway. For this pur pose they sought the support of influential parties along the proposed line, and he was happy to say that in every case that support was most cheerfully tendered. Lord Clanricarde first proposed that the line should run through Portumna, but upon further explanation of the advantages of its running more northward, he at once consented to an alteration in the original plan, he promoters of the line did not wish to have it appear that they wanted in any manner to derive the least private ad vantage from the project.—(Hear, hear.) They wished to leave it in the hands of the parties interested in every locality.—(Hear, hear.) Several solicitors expressed themselves anxious to undertake it, taking chance for their remuneration to the passing of the Bill ; but as regarded the engineering department, this could not have been done, as some expense would be necessarily attendant upon providing as sistants to aid the principal engineer in his sur vey, as well as to lithograph the maps. Upon a oalculation it was found that this would cost about 6001. The people to the east of the Shannon had sub scribed 2801., which they placed in the hands of local trustees. Lord Clanricarde had also subscribed, and the inhabitants of Loughrea, who placed the amount in the hands of Mr. Robert D'Arcy and Mr. James Smitb. In Mountmellick they placed the subscriptions to the credit of Colonel Dunn and Mr. Pim. They had now come to Galway, and all they wanted was about 150/. The pro moters were anxious, under every circumstance, to avoid the handling of the money themselves, and therefore they hoped, that in case this amount were subscribed, it would be placed in the hands of gentlemen locally in terested, and who wou ld, on the part of the inhabitants, have the entire eontro l of th e disbursements, as in the other districts.—(Hear, hear.) Wh en t h e compan y was formed, the gentlemen subscribing, if they became share holders, would be allowed for it in the amount of their shares. Mr. Adair then read the form in which the subscriptions were to be subscribed, which did away with every fear as to future risk. In the paper which he held in his hand h e cursorily de scribed the principal features of the undertaking which in towns in th e di s t r i ct . 4. It its constructio n . 3. I t accommo datesraffic was now submitted to the m. 1 . It was the most direct and practicable line f rom D ublin to Galway. 2. Th e least thebe expensivest crosses the Shannon at the most favourable point for accommodating its great tra ffi c. 5. B e i ng th e most direct, it is the best adapted for becoming the high road to England and Europe generally with America. 6. Its terminus, Galway, being the most westerly port of Europe, and which has been reported by the Tidal Har bour Commissioners as the best harbour for trans-Atlan. tic communication on the coast. 7. It will afford to the fisheries on the west coast an outlet and a market— (Hear, hear)—all that is wanting to render them the most prolific districts of the west to be advantageously worked. 8. It will generally tend to the development of the industrial resources of the country—it will stimu late enterprise—throw open to enterprise and capital a county and a harbour which only require to be known to pessesa the greatest mercantile and manufacturing' en terprise and wealth. • 9. In conjunction with the Shan non it will afford the greatest and least expensive com munication between Galway and Limerick, and Cork. 10. It will enable the inhabitants in the eastern and midland districts to enjoy the bathing and noble scenery which the vario us watering places on the western coast present, affording a striking contrast in their cheapness and grandeur o f s i tuat i on to t h ose of the east coast. 11. It is p romote d b y t h e unan i m ous desire of the gentry, mer c h ants, an d i n h a bi tan ts of the country. The surveys and necessary Parliamentary plans being made and l o d ge d at the expense of those parties most directly interested in th e welfare of the country, sup ported by the evidence of the Postmaster- General, Mr. Williams, and of all others best acquainted with the wants and present communication with the country—by the unanimous consent and anxious wishes of all the pro prietors along the line—of the citisens of the towns along its route and its termini, it comes before the public fully challenging inquiry into its merits, with a certain pros pect of success in its execution, and prosperous return for the capital that may be invested in it by its pro moters. The old proposal, or Irish Great Western, was 133- statute miles in length, between Dublin and Gal way, and had 93 miles of new railway to effect ; the Mullingar, 127 statute miles in length, with 761 miles of new railway to construct ; bat the project which be (Mr. Adair) now brought before them was only 1211 statute miles in length, and bad only 73 miles of new line to complete.—(Hear, hear.) These were advantages which no other undertaking yet proposed for connecting this town with the metropolis could present, while it formed the best rou t e for railway communication with the various o th er di s t r i c ts which it could not ex actly embrace. P arsons t ow n Wa s far superior to Athlone, for it had a comfortable and numerous po pulation, while Mountmellick was the best manufac turing inland town in Ireland. He saw himself there one thousand hands engaged in manufacture, and as a proof of their flourishing condition, they were about erecting a gas-house for lighting their ware -rooms alone. Instead of importing cotton from Liverpool, they could directly import it from America by Galway. Were lie a Galway man, he would almost go mad to see their magnificent port neglected, but which he was confident . was before long destined to become the greatest em- porium of manufacturing industry in these king doms. Mr. Adair then alluded to the Employment Act, and the necessity of limiting its operations, as far as possible, to productive works, and upon a sugges tion from Mr. Spencer Lyndsey, recommended that at the various baronial sessions along the route of the line proposed the magistrates and cess-payers should present for works in that way, which could be after wards purchased at valuation by a company, to lay down rails upon them, or have them set up to auction for that purpose, as in France. He himself would serve notices on the various districts along the line for this object, and would communicate with Mr. Redington upon the subject. Mr. D'AncY intimated that such g course would be proposed, as far as the town and county of the town of Galway was concerned, at the baronial sessions to be held on Friday next. The plans now lodged with the clerk of the peace for the former railway projects into the town could at once be made use of, and enable them to set the people without delay upon works which would exercise their skill, and be sold hereafter to any company obtaining a Bill for a railway to Galway. The CHAIRMAN expressed his dissent from the sugges tion until it could be shown that there would be a guarantee for their being purchased. After some further conversation on this point, Mr. HOGAN read the report he had drawn up from his provisional survey :—" That the railway will commence at Mountmellick. forty-eight and a half statute miles from Dublin, and will proceed in a direct westerly course, pass ing through Rosenalis, and north of Clonaslee, approach. ing within six miles and a half Irish of Tullamore ,• thence continuing, it will pass north of Kinnitty and south of Frankford, reaching Parsonstown at a dis tance of twenty-five statute miles from Mountmellick. Keeping to the north of Parsonstown, the line then follows the valley of the Brusna, and at Meelick, two miles and a half Irish south of Banagher, crosses the river Shannon at this point, communicating with the extensive traffic of Limerick at the Middle Shannon ; proceeding from Meelick, the line passes south of Eyrecourt, from whence will diverge a branch to Ballinasloe; then passing north of Kellimor, the line in a straight direction continues, passing through Loughrea and Oranmore to Galway, termi nating there at a distance of 73i statute miles from Mountmellick, and 122 from Dublin, being the best and five miles the shortest line yet projected for Galway. Independently of the advantageous communica tion the line will give Galway to Dublin, it also opens to the town a railway communi cation to Cork, Waterford, and Wexford, a water steam communication with Limerick, Killaloe, `and Athlone. I have taken a cursory view of your bar - be coming qualified, by its situation and advantag es, for becoming tue pui communication between rope and America. The ex penditure of a trifling sum would render it the best and saftest harbour in the country. The future traffic which will arise from the trans-Atlantic communication must form an important feature in the ultimate remuneration to be expected from the formation of this railway. Its vastness will exceed the most sanguine expectations • but with out taking into consideration this inevitable result, the present existing traffic gives sufficient data to show that the line would be remunerative without any contin gencies. I have made a preliminary survey of' the line ; it is the most favourable of construction I have ever been over ; and I can pledge myself that a single line, making provision in the purchase of land, and in the construction of bridges for a double, should the traffic hereafter require it, as I have no doubt it will, in this way can be constructed for an estimate of 7,000/. per mile ; and I think it is important that railways, which are yet an experiment in this country, should be made in the most economical manner. The crossing of the Shannon has been fixed at Meelick, the cost of which will be of a comparatively trifling amount; it is the most favourable point on the entire of the Middle Shannon, as well for crossing as the accommo dation of the increasing traffic of that noble river. Mr. STEPHENS requested Mr. Adair to state how they were prepared to commence. Mr. ADAIR said that their plans and sections would be lodged, as usual, in his own and the names of other gentlemen as registered proprietors—that then the pro ject would be submitted to the new Railway Beard ap pointed last session, and if they reported in its favour they would then proceed to the formation of the com pany for carrying it out. Mr. ROBERT BODKIN inquired whether they were to form an independent company, or to be supported by any other, as the Mullingar Company appeared to depend on themselves? Mr. ADAIR said the Cashel Company, by their last report, was alleged to support any company projecting a railway from their trunk westward. If the new Railway Board reported in favour of the project, he had not the least doubt of their being able to raise the requisite capital. Mr. ROBERT POWER said that when they were in a position to do so, they would call upon the parties in terested along the line to form the company, in order to give them a direct interest in it, and prevent the possi bility of its being regarded as a gambling transaction. Mr. STEPRENS then detailed a conversation which he had had with Lord Dunsandle and Mr. Ennis, in which the Noble Lord and that gentleman stated their deter mination to extend their line to Galway. After some further conversation, a subscription list was opened, when the gentlemen present at once entered their names for various sums, to be lodged in the hands of P. M. Lynch and John Ireland, Esquires, as trustees, the balance to be collected from those unable to be present. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. The directors of this company are determined on pro ceeding with the line between Carlow and Kilkenny with all possible activity. Th. lino. of railovsy anrihron.tl by ti. w~wlgwa.weed company are alt in intimate connexion with the Great Southern and Western Railway, and when made we have no doubt will be rented at a very remunerative profit by that company. The lines are from Carlow to the point of junction with the Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow line about four miles from Enniscorthy—from Carlow to Kilkenny—and from Kilkenny to Clonmel. There can only be one opinion as to the resources of the districts in traffic through which these lines run. The directors have prudently resolved on undertaking the construction of these lines in divisions ; and first, they will proceed with the lines from Carlow to Kilkenny, which will undoubtedly prove one of first-class character. It is capable of being very economically constructed; and worked, ai it will be, in conjunction with the Carlow branch of the Great Southern and Western Company, the directors may reasonably anticipate a very high rate of dividend, without calculating mnch beyond the traffic that already exists. When the line is opened it will command the whole traffic of the counties of Waterford and Kilkenny to Carlow and Dublin; and this in itself, independent of other resources, will make it a first-class line. By the amalgamation of the Wexford and Carlow, and the Great Leinster and Munster, under the new name of " The Irish South-Eastern," it is manifest that the inter ests of the shareholders have been consulted in the best possible manner, and the most effectual means have been taken to render the lines to be constructed beneficial to the country, and equally so to the proprietors. The line to Kilkenny joins the Waterford and Kil kenny about two miles north of the city, and this por tion is already constructed.—lrish Railway Gazette. , LONDON AND YORK.—At the last meeting of the Lia coin municipality, a memorial to the London and York board, praying them to commence with the loop part of the line, received assent, the corporate seal was affixed, and the document was ordered to be transmitted in time for the important meeting of the directors on Tuesday, the 6th instant. A committee was then appointed to watch the proceedings of railways, and to report to the council, with a view of preventing two crossings over the High-street—the present impression being that the Lon don and York and Great Grimsby and Lincoln purpose to have separate crossings. The navvies engaged on the Lincoln lines during the excavating of the drains leading to Podehole, have had some luxurious meals from the large .quantity of eels that have been captured, some of them weighing 51bs each. Hundreds of stones have been taken. Nearly 300 persons went from Lincoln on Tuesday last by railway to Derby races. A Scarborough correspondent, alluding to the fright ful accident recorded in these columns the other day, when a shower of sparks from the chimney of the engine seriously burnt the apparel of several of the passengers, suggests that all third-class carriages should not only be protected, but made fire-proof. TERMINUS or THE LYNN AND ELY.—The terminus for the Lynn and Ely, at the former place, is fast ap proaching completion. The building, which is exceed ingly light and graceful in appearance, has been erected under the superintendence of Mr. Sugars. The covered way for the carriages is upwards of 150 feet long, while the platform for general purposes extends to a much greater length. Convenient and spacious waiting rooms have also been added. It is not intended that the present structure should be the permanent ter minus. The rapidity with which the structure was erected is almost incredible, as scarcely a month since not a hammer was heard to resound where now an extensive range of buildings rise. When the line will be opened the entire distance to Ely, which the forward state of the works indicates will take place within a very short period, the port of Lynn can be attained in something about four hours, making a saving of more than three hours. The hitherto total absence of railway communication to Lynn and its neighbourhood has had a very injurious effect upon the trade of the port; but judging from the increased traffic on the Yarmouth line, it may be reasonably conjectured that Norfolk's second seaport will share in the'prosperity which a cheap, safe, and rapid mode of conveyance is sure to bring in its wake. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON—THE WORCESTER STATION.— WORCESTER, FRIDAY.—A great deal of anxiety is displayed on the part of the inhabit ants of this city with reference to the Worcester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. At present the site fixed on by the company is half a mile (or rather more) from the cross, to the east, and i s not very easily accessible, the roads being narrow, and a steep hill intervening. Numerous suggestions have been made for bringing the line into the centre of the city, near to the cross, and making this locality the station also of all future lines of railway brought into Worcester. Yes terday there were held meetings of the Worcester Town council and Chamber of Commerce, at which this subject was mooted. At the Chamber of Commerce meet ing it was resolved that a deputation should wait upon the directors of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, and demonstrate to them the conve nience which would be afforded to the Worcester traffic, both in passengers and goods, by having a station in the city instead of the suburbs. At the Town -council meet ing there was a similar feeling exhibited, but all active measures in promoting the object in view were deferred until the next meeting, in order to comply with the ne cessary forms required. GREAT NORTHERN OF FRANCE. —From the returns made of the receipts of this line, which opened only in July last, the amount received for the week ending the 25th of September shows a remarkable decrease in the sums received the previous week ; this decrease having bee❑ 28,512 f. 71c., or more than 4,000 f. per day (1601.), the whole amount received for the week for passengers' conveyance of goods, &c., having been only 259,428 f. 89c., or 37,075 f. per day ; 1,4031., or a total of 9,8211. for the week. This decrease in the traffic of one of the most important lines in France cannot be accounted for, as it joins Paris, running through Beauvais, Amiens, Arras, Lille, Tourney, Valenciennes, Mers d'Auzin, to the Belgian frontier, and the Brussels line, passing through a very commercial, agricultural, and mineral portion of the northern part of the kingdom.
