MOSES and SON'S business is the surest E. illustration of the above ;at the present time they are in possession of an immense Stock of MATERIALS, embracing every novelty of the season, ordered from the earliest samples produced by all the famous manufacturers in the world, and supplied to E. MOSES and SON at prices on which considerable advances have since been made. From this circumstance the Public will derive the advan tage of CIIEAP WINTER CLOTHING. From the magnitude of E. MOSES and SON'S trade, the Public is also presented w th every novelty in style, and every invention, associating Elegance and Comfort, amongst which is the CLIFTON • WRAPPER, excla tively the production of E. MOSES and SON.; This neat and gen tlemanly., article of attire may be worn as a COAT or OVERCOAT ; the peculiarity .of its cut renders it easy, and other admirable ar rangements entitle it to rank with their other conspicuous novelties for AUTUMN and WINTER OVERCOATS, and every kind of Winter eloping FURS, HATS; CAPS, &c., Inc., better and cheaper th3n cd.n be had elsewh4e. . . motives 1:o those landowners and residents in the locality who cooperated with the South-Western. It could not be denied that the line to Exeter would bring a considerable addition of traffic, passing as it did through ten towns, giving a direct communication with London, and connecting the important towns of Salis bury, Portsmouth, Southampton, end Brighton with the west. (11, tar.) Of course, as a large expenditure would have to be incurred by the South-Western Coml,any, it was not unreasonable to take in a partner on moderate terms, who should assist in making the extension to Exeter. It was proposed, as he before said, that the in dependent portion et the capital should take the first share of the new revenue up to 4 per cent,, which was the ordinary rate of interest. There was really no ground for alarm at the risk attached to their part of the under taking. Then as to the question of aggression. Did not the Great Western go round by Swindon to aceem modiste Cheltenham, Gloucester, and the other towns in that locality, and had they not by so doing left the tie .) , miles across to the southern coast altwether un provided for ? The South-Western, a (re i ning the like principle, had marked their coarse to Basingstoke, their intention being to include Salisbury and that other portion of country which remained open to them. Be sides, Parliament hail already conceded the district to the company, and all that remained to be done was to get it into their possession. Having given the subject some attention, he was convinced that the line would pay a clear 6 per cent., which it was proposed to add to the joint concern from Salisbury to Exeter. If he took the revenue at 1,0001. per mile a year, which was not an extravagant calculation, the result would be that a clear 8/. would be added to the exchequer of the company. On referring to the weekly returns of all the railways in the kingdom, he found that only five yielded less than 20/. a week. The chairman concluded after soma, further observations in regard to the defensive policy pursued by the beard: Atter a slight interruption, The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution sanctioning the proposed scheme. Mr. REID seconded the motion. Mr. MORTIMER said it would be remembered that a; the last meeting he mentioned that Mr. Locke had been to the Great Western Railway Company and offered the proposed line to them, and that they bad refused it. Mr. Locke had since pronounced that statement to be untrue, but he believed Mr. Locke was now ready to admit that he had the authority for making his state ment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LOCKE said that was so. Mr. Mortimer had the authority of Mr. Saunders for making his statement, but Mr. Saunders was in error when he made the re presentation complained of. Mr. HEREPATH wished to know if it really was true that the Great Western Company had been in the field. Mr. LOCKE repeated that it was. The Bristol and Exeter Company, he was informed, were preparing their plans for it, (Hear, hear.) Mr. MORTIMER then proceeded to address the meeting in opposition to the resolution, believing that in hurrying after this shadow of a line, they were going in a fair way to lose the substance of their old line. (Hear, hear). The heart of the old line was Southampton, and the line to Dorcester and Salisbury, were merely taken as tributaries, and if the prepared line were made it would benefit the branches, but not the main line. (Hear, hear.) Now a line of that nature was not worth the expense of making it; and he warned the shareholders that if they were wise they would con fine their attention to accommodating the overgrown traffic of Southampton, (Hear, hear.) Make this line, and they would put the Great Western Company in a postion to get at the South Western Southampton traffic; but if they ought to extend their main line at all they ought to turn their attention to extending the Dorchester line to Exeter. (Hear,hear). That would bring traffic over the whole of their main line, but if they adopted the Salisbury and Exeter scheme, it would be tantamount to introducin ! a competing line to the South ampton line, as between Southampton and Basingstoke (Hear, hear). He complained of the letter which the Chairman had issued to the shareholders; it was con trary to eticriette to issue such a letter. But, besides, the letter contained inaccuracies ; and he was afraid that as many proxies had been given on the strength of the letter. He was very much afraid the letter would do them a serious injury. (Hear, hear.) It led the share holder to believe that this proposed now line would yield 6 per cent.; but that calculation was based upon erro neous data. (Hear, hear.) As the arrangement now stood, the landowners would get 4 per cent., even if the line did not pay its working expenses, and he could not help feeling that the letter was a most fallacious docu ment. It was the custom of the Board of Directors not to record the protests of the minority on the board in the journals of the Company, and as he was in a mino rity in this question at the Board he had no other alter native but to protest against it now. (Hear, hear.) He complained of the conduct of certain of the directors, in lending their names to new schemes, and; called . upon the shareholders to discountenance the practice, because it brought them into unfriendly contact both with the Great Western, and the London and North Western Companies, who had already remonstrated against it. (Hear, hear), Mr. Rein, a director, contended that it was a false policy for this company to stand still or withhold its support from a scheme which, if carried out, would act as feeding branches to their main line. Mr. CASTLEMAIN wished to know from the Secretary if any table had been prepared showing what would be the effect of these new lines upon the Dorchester Line. The SECRETARY replied in the affirmative. Mr. CASTLEMAIN asked what was the result of that calculation. The SECRETARY said the present traffic from Dorches ter yielded 40,000/. a-year. When the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Line should be opened, it would abstract 20,000/. of that; while, if this proposed Central Line was carried out, it would have the effect of drawing back 10,0001. of that 20,0001. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CASTLEMAINE spoke at SOMP length in support of the extension from Dorchester to Exeter. He referred to the various agreements entered into since 1844 be tween the South- Western and other companies, and ob served that he thought some amicable arrangement might be made between the South-Western and Great- Western Companies, to the advantage of both. He be lieved, from information given to him by officers of this company, that before long they would have to expend some 200,000/ , upon the station at Southampton, and an expenditure of at least 250,0001. would be necessary to render the Waterloo station suitable for their traffic. If, then, they had to go into the market to raise 1,000,000/,, instead of 500,0001., upon what terms were they likely to obtain such an amount? Mr. Castlemaine concluded by proposing, as an amendment, a resolution declaring the opinion of the meeting that the proposition of the directors ought not to be carried out, but that measures should be taken to complete the coast line from Dor chester to Exeter. This amendment was, however, sub sequently withdrawn Mr. WOOD believed the proposed line from Salisbury to Exeter would not pay its expenses. The Brighton line, with all its advantages, only paid 4 i pe r cent., and was it likely that this projected new line would yield 6 per cent.? (Hear, hear.) He did not believe it wo dad uld return more than 2 per cent. Mr. Wood then pocee to advocate the extension of the line from Dorchester to Exeter, and stated that there was so little traffic on the proposed line between Salisbury and Exeter, that he did not think it possible any railway in that district could prove remunerative. After a desultory discussion, in which Mr. SNELL, Captain MOORSOM, Mr. HERAPATH, and Mr. EAGLES• FIELD took part, General AITCHISON observed, that he thought they were consuming time very unnecessarily, and suggested that the meeting should at once proceed to a vote. (This recommendation WB3 received with much applause.) Mr. HELPS said, that no new scheme could bo forced down the throats of the shareholders unless it was ap proved by three-fourths of the persons who voted— (" Hear," and cheers)—and he wished to asked what number of proxies had been received for and against the proposition of the directors? The SECRETARY replied that the number of proxies received was—in favour of the lino from Salisbury to Exeter, 11,237 votes; against it, 10,563 votes. (Loud and continued cheers, and slight hissing.) The majority of votes in favour of carrying the line from Salisbury to Exeter, was therefore 674. (Renewed cheers.) The number of voters was—for the line from Salisbury to Exeter, 784; against it, 7e5; majority for the Salisbury and Exeter line, 59. (Cheers.) A PROPRIETOR (to the Chairman).—Well, after that statement, how can you expect the bill to be carried? (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Locnn then rose in the body of the room to address the meeting, 'but was met by a storm o': groans and shouts of "Divide," which completely drowned his voice. After endeavouring, unsuccessfully, for some minutes, to make himself heard. the chairman interposed, and, with great difficulty, restored something like order. Mr. Lucke having propitiated the clamourers for a division by stating that he would not trespass on their attention fur more than two or three minutes, proceeded to say, that some eighteen months ago, he, in connexion with a body of landowners, had applied to the South-Western Company to undertake the cries Pscon struction of a railway between Salisbury and E xeter, offering s u ch secur ities as he would answer to say had never had offered to sell their land at agricultural ever been tendered before in any part of England.

SIR,—I was prevented by the outcries of several share holders at the special general meeting hold to day at the 14,?ndon Tavein, from stating certain figures which I was called upon to do by the chairman, which figures were essential to an understanding of the point under the eon sideration of the meeting. .1 therefore consider it my duty to the proprietors who pay me, and whom I have the honour to serve, to state what those figures were. The questions I was ordered to answer were two,— 1. Was there ever laid before the board a statistical computation of the traffic which the proposed central line, if made, would subtract from the psesent Dorchester and Southampton line? 2. What is the annual amount of the traffic at the Salisbury and Dorchester stations which would be placed in jeopardy by the plans of the Great Western Railway Company now in active progress? The reply to the first question is,— That the traffic on the present line from Dorchester and Southampton, now taken at the Dorchester station, is 40,0001. per annum. • That this will be reduced by half, andonkredueed 20,0001. per annum, ay the Great Western Company's Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, about to be com pleted. That the proposed central line from Salisbury to Exeter by whomever it is constructed, will probably re duce the remaining Dorchester statics traffic by one-half. So that the Wilts and Somerset line having reduced the present traffic of this company at Dorcester from 40,0001. to 20,000/., the central line would reduce this 20,0001. to 10,0001. per annum ; the whole reduction at Dorcester, would probably be thus from 40,0001. to 10,0001. per annum, or a loss of 30,0001. per annum. This is the reply to the first question. The reply to the second question is,— That the traffic in and out of the Salisbury and Dor cester stations together, for the 12 mouths ending the 30th of Juno, 1852, was 80,9551. _ _ consider ema to be my d u t y Of this amount that portion which was from t ra ff ic to and from London is 53 , 4291 .

Any party seeking to charge any accounting party beyond what ho has by his account admitted to have re ceived, is to give notice thereof to the accounting party, stating, so far as he is able, the amount sought to be charged, and the particulars thereof, in a short and suc cinct manner. 31. Upon a receiver's account being left in the judge's chambers to be passed, a summons to proceed thereon is to be taken out ; and the account, when passed, is to be entered by the solicitor of the receiver in books, in the same manner as heretofore; but the affidavit verifying the account so passed is to refer to it as au exhibit, and not to be annexed to it. 32. When a receivership has been completed, the book containing the accounts is to be deposited in the Record and Writ-office. 33. Where advertisements are required for any pur pose, a peremptory and only one is to be issued, unless for any special reason it may be thought necessary to issue a secanfLadvectisement or further advertisements; and any advertisement may be repeated as many times and in such papers as may be directed. 34. The advertisements are to be prepared by the so licitor, and submitted to the chief clerk for approval, and when approved, are to be signed by him, and such sig nature is to be sufficient authority to the printer of the Gazette to insert same. 35. Advertisements for creditors or other claimants are to fix a time for the creditors or claimants to come in and prove their claims, and to appoint a day for the hearing and adjudicating thereon, and may be in a form similar to the form set forth in schedule D to these orders, with such variations as the circumstances of the case may require. 36. daimiints coming in pursuant to advertisement are to enter their claims at the chambers of the judge in the " summons and appointment book," for the day ap pointed for hearing by the advertisement, and aro to give notice thereof, and of the affidavits filed, to the solicitors in the cause, within the time specified in the advertise ment for bringing in claims. 37.

Any claimant who has not before entered his claim may be heard on such adjournment day, provided he enters his claim and files his affidavit four clear days prior to such day, and no certificate of debts or claims shall in the meantime have been made. 40. Creditors claiming debts not exceeding 51. need not attend on the day of hearing, unless required to do so by notice from some party. 41. After the time fixed by the advertisement, no claims are to be received except as before provided, in case of an adjournment, unless the judge at chambers shall think fit to give special leave, upon application made by summons, and then upon such terms and con ditions as to costs and otherwise as the judge shall think fit. 42. A list of all claims allowed shall, when required by the judge, be made out and left in the judge's cham bers by the party prosecuting the order. 43. In cases where the court directs any computation of interest, or the apportionment of any fund, which is to be acted upon by the accountant-general or other person without any further order from the court, the or der to be made by the court may direct such computa tion or apportionment to be made by one of the chief clerks attached to the court of such judge, and may direct the certificate thereof, signed by such hief clerk, to be acted upon accordingly, without the same being signed and adopted by the judge. 44. Where an account has been directed, the certificate or report is to state the result of such account, and not to set the same out by way of schedule, but is to refer to the account verified by the affidavit filed, and to specify by the numbers attached to the items in the account, whicb, it any, of such items have been disallowed or varied, and to state what additions, if any, have been made by way of surcharge. In any case in which the account verified by the affidavit has been so altered, that it is necessary to have a fair transcript of the account as altered, such transcript may be required to be made by the solicit(); pro.ecuting the order, and is then to be referred to by the certificate or report. The accounts and the tran scripts, if any, referred to by certificates or reports, are to be filed therewith, but no copies thereof are to be re quired to be taken by any:party. 45. The certificates or reports to be made by the chief clerk to the judge are not, except the special circum stances of the case shall render it necessary, to set out the order or any documents or evidence or reasons, but are to refer to the order, documents and evidence, or particular paragraphs thereof, so that it may appear upon what the result stated in any such certificate or report is founded. 46. The certificate of the chief clerk to the judge may bo in a form similar to the form set forth in the sche dule E to these orders, with such variations as the cir cumstances of the case may require, and, when pre pared and settled, it is to be transcribed by the solicitor prosecuting the proceedings in such form and within such time as the chief clerk shall require, and is then to be signed by the chief clerk at an adjournment to be made for that purpose. But whore, from the nature of the case, the certificate can be drawn and copied in cham bers whilst the parties are present before the chief clerk, the same shall be then completed and signed by him without any adjournment. 47. The time within which any party is to be at liberty to take the opinion of the judge upon any proceeding which shall have been concluded, but as to which the certificate or report of a chief clerk shall not have been signed and adopted by the judge, is to be four clear days alter the certificate or report shall have been signed by the chief clerk. 48. Any party desiring to take the opinion of the judge, as mentioned in the last preceding rule, is, within four clear days after the certificate or report shall have been signed by the chief clerk, to obtain a summons for such purpose. 49. At the expiration of four clear days after the cer tificate or report shall have been signed by the chief clerk, if no party has in the meantime obtained a sum mons to take the opinion of the judge thereon, the chief clerk is to submit the certificate or report to the judge for his approval, and the judge may thereupon, if be ap prove the same, sign such certificate or report in testi mony of his adoption thereof, as follows:—" Approved this day of 50.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.—It is now certain that Louis Napoleon will be very shortly Emperor of the French. What course ought England to take on the completion of that event? It must be admitted th at she is in a position of no ordinary difficulty. We are bound to treat with Russia, Austria, and Prussia, not to allow any one of the family of Bonaparte to be the supreme ruler of France. Nevertheless, we have recognised Louis Napoleon asPresident of the Re public. A President of a Republic can hardly be considered as " supreme ruler " of a state. Not so the Emperor or Sovereign of a people. It is earnestly to be hoped, that our present Foreign Secretary may be able to prevail upon our allies to waive the obligations of the treaty ; nor, after the declaration of the President, that " L'Empire c'est pair," would it probably be difficult to obt a i n f rom hi m suc h an authoritat i ve recognition of the validity of the treaties of Vienna, as would go far to persuade those allies to put aside, for the present, the enforcement of this peculiar obligation. —ll,linung OUTFITS For AUSTRALIA, for INDIA, for AMERICA, or any part of the World; for Captains, Officers, • "'hen; for Profes- Snal men, Mechanics, or Farm Labourer., ...L.. rsally celebrated fOrr4lteir saitability, completeness, and. cheapness, obtained imme diate on applicatlca_toX.

A special general meeting of the proprietors of the London and South-Western Railway wa4 held yesterday at the London Ta vern; Mr. Chaplin M.P., Chairman of the Board of Director s , i n the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read by Mr. Windham Harding, the Secretary, The CHAIRMAN said he must confess that, in conse quence of certain remarks made by the press, as well as by individual shareholders, he felt in a somewhat awk ward position, because it was the duty of the chairman to observe a strict impartiality in presiding over such an assemblage, but he could not belong to that section of the directors who determined to lay the proposed project before the meeting, without having courage sufficient to advocate its propriety; and he was, moreover, anxious to make a few brief observations in order that he might not be accused of advocating a measure of which he did not himself approve. (Hear.) They now met for the third time, with the view of obtaining a clear and distinct ex pression of the opinion entertained by the great body of shareholders on this important question, viz., whether they should endeavour to secure that important district of the West of Eugland between Salisbury and Dorches tor, or passively relinquish it, and hazard its loss to them for all time to come. (Hear.) The meeting had been called in the centre of the city of London, expressly for the purpose of facilitating the attendance of shareholders, for they would be surprised when he told them that, at the last meeting on the 24th of September, there were only 278 shareholders represented, including those per sonally present and those who appeared by proxy, out of a body of nearly 40,000 proprietors. That, he thought, would be a sufficient justification for the directors fixing the meeting at that place, in order to gather a more full and powerful expression of opinion. Most of the share holders were probably aware of the remarks contained in a circular which he had taken the liberty of address ing to them. It was with great reluctance he intruded himself upon their notice in such a manner ; but when he saw that a great misconception existed as to the nature of the guarantee or preference dividend, he felt very anxious to remove all doubt on the subject. But there was another reason why he was so desirous to address the meeting. He had seen an advertisement inviting the shareholders to a meeting at Morley's Hotel, with the object of opposing the contemplated project, and he could well understand that an effort had been made to concentrate the opposition of those who differed from the directors. It would, however, astonish the share holders to learn that the secretary of that movement was not a proprietor at the time the meeting was held on the 13th of October, but that he subsequently got transferred to him five preference shares, worth 40/. of paid-up capital. He, therefore, had not that interest in the fluctuating dividend which would justify him in .aking f2tioh a position. (Hear.) He (the Chairman) believed he was also right in saying, that the most respectable solicitor who took the chair at that meeting, had no shar es i n t h e undertaking, and was not entitled either to speak or vote at the meetings of the company. (near.) TheGxtmEstsx intimated that he was not a solici tor, but a member of the Inner Temple.

It was likely that some end recriminations. made in reference to certain interviews would be tary of the Great Western Railway, awnsdwith the secre sions made by him; but that had nothing some expres with the subject now under discussion. g (gear,) to do should confine themselves simply to consideringwh ether They they should secure to the South-Western Company fair portion of the West of England trade. Ho hope d ri a that, first of all, the point of guarantee was clearly Pe ' un derstood. A SHAREHOLDER —What is the guarantee? Explain it. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN -11e trusted the guarantee would be understood as being solely dependent on the revenue arising out of the We st of B og landenterprize, namely, the hue between Salisbury and Exeter—and as being con fined to the independent shareholders. A SHA.REI" OLDER —Tne net revenue. The CHAIRMAN--Yee, the net revenue, after paying all working expenses. Much stress had been put on the statement that the proposed line had been concocted for the benefit of the landowners in the district, but hoped any impression of that kind would be removed, as it was inconsistent with the real facts. The land owners, who were not a numerous body, were willing to make a sacrifice of their land and to co-operate with the South-Western Company, in order to promote the con struction of a line through a district which was left al together unaccommodated, and which, according to the plans proposed by other companies, was not likely to be accommodated. The ,railways projected by those companies were not direct lines to London, and left the district much in the same position,as it occupied already; and it was, therefore, unfair to attribute improper SUMMONS. 1.

A meeting of shareholders interested in the No. 1 six per cent. preference stock of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. The circumstances under which the meeting was called are explained in the following minute:— " At a meeting, held in the committee-room of the Stock Exchange, on Saturday, October 16, at which several members, interested for their clients and them selves to a large extent in the No. 1 preference stock, t i h t e w m a s a n u n n e a r n m in ou whichs r e t shoel these d s , h a a f r t e e s r fal l werey o iwn r ev i g ree i s n t ipaglrlaeytsi present , created under the 11th and 12th Vic., ca p. 25, fully confirmed at a general meeting of the company, held at Edinburgh on March 8, 1849, and subsequently recognized and protected in the 14th Vic., car. 27, clause 16, that the position of the stock is perfectly legal, and that any attempt at repudiation should be strenu ously opposed,; and that a meeting of the preference shareholders should be held at the London Tavern on Tuesday, the 26th instent. Captain Follet was called to the chair. The attend ance was numerous. Mr. FARRAR, of Doctore-commons, explained the legal bearings of the question. By the 11th and 12th Vic., c. 25, the North British Railway Company were authorized to raise additionel capital by the citation of new shares. These sharca were to be of such an amount and to be allotted on such conditions as should be agreed upon at a meeting of the company duly calld, and the shares so apportioned were to form part of the capitel. At that period the existing stock was at a great discount —the 251. rhsrtis were selling ut a discount of 05/. 103. and the then directors, considering the depressed state of their own and of other runway property, iesitated to avail themselves of the powers contained in tte Act. The company at that time had upwards of one million locked up in the works in progress, and which mild only be made available by raising the capital authorized ln,the Act. By aid by, with the v:ew of making these works available, the directors is , ucrl a report to the share holders and to the public, and amongst other things they stated that it now rest_ I with the shareholders to fix the amount of the new shaTes, end the farms upon which they should be issued. The amount proposed to be raised was 800 , 0001 .-600,0001, by new shares, 200,0001. by loan ; and the directors suggested that the 600,000/. should be raised by shares of 5/. each, to be issued to the existing shareholders, and that a guaranteed divi dend of 6 per cent. for five years, and of 5 per cent. thereafter in perpetuity, should be the terms—interest also being allowed on the calls. Dr. JAMES JOHNSTONE moved the first resolution, which stated that the meeting had no doubt of the legality of the No. 1 preference shares, and that they received with considerable regret and kdignation the repudiation of the guarantee, us tending to undermine the confideece in railway stock, and to prejudice railway property in general. Mr. FREEMAN, of Bristol, seconded the resolution. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. DOUGLAS m ove d t h e second resolut i on , tbst legs. or other proc e edin gs b e a d opted to compel dividend now due, and to establish the claims of the pre payment of the o o l c lo a w rr i y e com mittee The f t ferance stc - Aholders. -- --- - g out gentlemen the w iat es were o f theth The resolution was carried without dissent. Johnstone, Porter, Armstrong, Hope, Inchbald, Douglas, and Scholefield. It was then resolved that Mr. Farrar and Mr. Somer ville should be the solicitors, and that the shareholders should subscribe, at the rate of 6d. p e r s hare, to defray the expenses. en n , e tt g it : el: 4 : . This terminated the proceedings. HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK. The official report says:—ln the week that ended last Saturday 1,072 deaths were registered in London, being nearly the same as in the previous week. In the tan corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average numberof was 947, which, if correction is ma de for in crease population retforreturn, will the be purpose om el 04. of 2 comparing Thedea t hs it with the present of last week therefore do not much exceed the ordinary rate of mortality at this season of the year. The tables of the two last weeks show a close coincidence as regards the numbers who died in several periods of life ; the children who died in the two weeks were respectively 536 and 535 • adults between 15 and 60 years were 356 and 348, a nd persons who bad attained the age of 60 years and upwards were 188 and 189. Fever has be come more fatal in London, for the casea referred to the head of " typhus" rose from 54 in the preceding week to 62 in the last, and scarlatina from 73 to 92. The latter complaint has now reached a higher point that in any previous part of this year, and the Mount of mortality is greater than in any corresponding week, except that of 1848, when the number was 182. Epi demic diseases in the aggregate are not, however, more than usually fatal, for only 5 deaths are assigned to small-pox and only 4to measles. Diarrhoea also con tinues to decline, but an increase i s visible in Looping cough, which rose from 22 to 34, and in bronchitis, which has also increased in the last two weeks, f rom 76 to 92. Last week the births of 796 boys and 771 girls, in all 1567 children, were registered in London. The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845.51 was 1376.

The wind blew from the north at the beginning of the week, it then changed to south-west, and except on Friday, when it was in the south east, blew in this direction during the rest of the week.

The line is to start from the Paddington station of the Great Western line, pass near the Kilburn turnpike, cross the Lond on and North Western Railway, and form a junction with tho pro jected line of the North and South Western, Hampstead, and City Junction Railway. The capital required is 300,0001.
