Old proverbs and sayings may often be made, To bear with effect upon matters of trade ; And MOSES and SOS, fully conscious of this, Have thonzht the alpove wouldn't answer amiss, And you all may be firmly convinced, if you will, That MOSES and SON have brought " grist to the mill." In quality's field they have gleaned for success, And in proof they would point to their durable dress. Was ever such quality seen in attire ? Have make and material ever ranked higher? No, reader, you can-ot dispute, if you will, That MOSES and SON have brought " grist to the mill." In the fair grounds of Fashion they also have sown, And elegant fruits of their labours are shown : The Trousers, the Waistcoats, the Dress-coats and Frock, And the juvenile styles which distinguish their Stock, And all that assists the grand dress-mart to fill, Are proofs that in Fashion there's " grist for the mill." And look at the savings the public have made, By supporting E. MOSES awl SON in their trade. Their dress-mart is ruled on economy's law — A law from which MOSES will never withdraw; And all who have favoured, and favour it still, Hare declared Messrs. MOSES bring " grist to the mill." N.TI.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre sent Sloe.: of juvenile attire. The elesitrns are elegant and unique, and the workmanship and materials are such as to commtnd univer sal approbation, while at the same dine the prices are auwatally mo derate. LIST OF PRICES.

Wir One half the wend are desolately single, and the other Supposing them married, Questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un- Comprosisg burry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and Justice deraaad that health shmuld form as item In the compact; s t alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little MEMOIItS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (hey post, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered my inteinterpretatior, of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity,but for the closet perusal of th ose more deeply interested, to w they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on tho above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post ls. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 1 8.—Captain Sir B. Walker, President of the Office of Surveyor of the Navy, is ex pected here this week to survey the fleet im ordinary at this harbour. Mr. Edye and Mr. Watts, assistants in the above above office, aro to survey the Collingsraood, 80, when paid off and docked, she having been found to work very much at sea, according to the report of Rear -Ad miral Sir George Seymour, lately commanding on board her ; and two of her beams having, by the report of the ship's carpenter, sunk between the main and fore masts on the gun deck. The Collingwood will be paid off on Thursday. The Fly, 14, Commander R. A. Oliver., arrived at Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land, from England, on on the 16th of March. The Diligence naval transport was tarred out of har bour this morning by the Rocket, and sealed with stores for the eastern yards. The Stromboli arrived from Lisbon this afternoon, which place she left on the 13th of July. The Iphige nie, French frigate, was the only man-of-war there. The screw-steans-vessel Rifleman, tender to the Power ful, having had her screw replaced, was taken out of dock yesterday. She will, previous to her joining the squadron, have a trial ot' her engine round the Wight. When last at Woolwich her former engine of 200-horse power was taken out, and ono of 100-horso power sub stituted for it, and i Its only tried on her passage round to this port. We think it would 'be greatly to the advantage of this tessel (and alao to the Sharp shooter) if the weie ' hAof Ordnance sh e now carr i es were reduced nice one-half!lPP.:She now mounts an eight-inch gun forward of 65 cwt and a ten-inch aft of 85 cwt. These guns might do very well for them if the vessels were kept in harbour, and only went round the Wight as regular gun-boats ; but if used as regular sea-going vessels, long 32 pound pivot guns would be much better adapted for service at sea. The Sharpshooter was taken into dock, at Portsmouth, when the Rifleman came out, to repair defects. The Retribution, the Centaur, and Gleaner, steamers, were taken into the new steam basin at Portsmouth, on Monday. The two former vessels, large steam-frigates, now occupy a considerable portion of the wharfage along the basin margin, and it is perfectly evident that the basin is too small by one half for the purposes for which it was designed—that of making Portsmouth the princi pal naval steam arsenal in the kingdom. It might still be greatly enlarged by taking into the basin the ground on which the two large docks to the eastward of the basin are now making and the apace between them. This would make the basin 300 feet wider, and of course greatly improve its capacity for holding vessels. The Phoenix, advanced screw steam-sloop, has been tried by Captain Anston, under steam, round Spithead. She appeared to go well, but the fans of the screw worked too near the surface of the water. She caused considerable ebullition under the stern, flinging the foam and water to a considerable height. The Trident, steam-gun-vessel, Lieutenant-Comma.. der Risk, arrived at Portsmouth, on Monday, from Wool wich, and embarked 60 men of the Marina Artillery, under Captain Parks and Lieutenant Mawby, with whom she sailed for Pembroke. Captain Parks relieves the detachment at present serving at Pembroke, under Cap tain Dwyer. TII E SQUADRON or EXERCISE.—The St. Vincent, 120 guns; Prince Begent, 92; Bellerophon, 80; Blen heim, 55; Amphion, 34; Tweed, 18; Pilot, 12; Frolic, 16; Helena, 16; and Racer, 12; were off Portland at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, making westward. The Hermes steam-sloop, navigated by C. Bellamy, Req., the second master attendant of Portsmouth Dock yard, left that harbour on Monday night for the Clyde to rig and navigate her Majesty's new screw frigate Daunt less, of 24 guns, to Portsmouth. The Hermes embarked the extra men who assisted in navigating the Colossus, 80-gun ship, for Pembroke. The Collingwood, 80 guns, Captain Stuart, K.H., will be put out of commission to-day at Portsmouth; as will the Kingfisher, 12-gun sloop, at the same port. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. Clerk—W. J.

CANTERBURY, MONDAY.—The fearful storm which visited Kent early on Saturday morning, has not been equalled in this district for many years. It raged from about two to five o'clock, and accounts are hourly being received of its disastrous results. Not a village in the neighbourhood apparently has escaped its fury, and the destruction amongst the cattle is very considerable. Th• crops in many districts have also suffered, and numerous farms were fired by the electric fluid. Near this city many heads of cattle were struck dead. At Faversham, Snoad-street Farm, in the parish at Throwley, the pro perty of Lord Sondes, was fired by the lightning, and a vast quantity of this year's grain was consumed. The farm of Mr. Coleman, at East -street, Ash, was set on fire, and much of the property destroyed. Near Len ham a labouring man was killed by the lightning. 114 was walking► across a field when he was struck dead by the electric fluid. In the vicinity of Maidstone the most fearful havoc was produced. At the county lunatic asylum, on Earning-heath, near that town, loss of life nearly ensued. The electric fluid came in contact with the lodge of the establishment, tenanted by the porter and his wife. The escape of the terrified couple was truly miraculous; but the wife is now lying in a sad way ft out the (11',:cts of the shook. Several tine oaks iu the Earl of Rr.anuey's park were shattered to pieces.

EAST INDIAN RAILWAY. __ A special meeting of the proprietors was held yester day at the London Tavern to receive a report from the directors; Mr. H. A. Aglionby, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the directors, in compliance with a resolution of the last meeting of proprietorstheld on the 18th of April, made a call of 2L per share in order to place the board in a position to effect the deposit of 100,000/. with the East India Company by the Ist of May. The period intervening between the date of the call and the time fixed by the East India Company for the payment of the deposit was so short as to leave little ground for expectation that a sufficient sum to enable the directors to complete the deposit would have been received. On the 29th of April the cdi of 2/. per share was paid on 10,062 shares, many more shareholders ex pressing their desire to pay if a little extension ef time were allowed. At the same time the directors, acting in conformity with the second resolution of that meeting, urged upon the Court the senst entertained by the meeting that it would be impossible, under existing circumstances, to increase the list of their proprietary to an extent necessary to the immediate outlay of the sum of 3,000,0001.. as required without an increase in the rate or term or guaranteed interest. The Court of Directors, in reply, declined either to extend the period for making the deposit or to increase the rate or term of the gua rantee. The project of commencing the work in two sections simultaneously, at a co,t of 3,000,0001., origi• nated in the Court of Directors, and the board always' felt that the expenditure of a smaller sum might in the first instance be advisable, and be made productive to the proprietary and the public. Under these impres• sious the directors addressed a letter to the Court on the subject, and on the 4th of July the Court replied by letter, that on a review of all the circumstances of the case, they were prepared to accede to the proposition for executing a portion of.-the-lion-.between Calcutta. and the north-west provinces, upon condition that a sum of 60,000/. be forthwith deposited in the Com pany's treasury, and that satisfactory proof be ad duced within four months from the date of this com munication that the railway company will be able, through their registered shareholders, to raise the capital, namely, 1,000,000/, so as to carry out the under taking without delay and in tin efficient manner, with a distinct understanding that the East Indian Railway Bill now before Parliament must be withdrawn. The report stated that the first call of 1/. had been paid on 37,441 shares, and the capital thus represented amounted to 1,872,0001., but as the shares are to be treated as 20/. each, the capital actually represented amounts to 748,880/. The directors believe that if the deposit be made with the East India Company, the list of sub• scribers will be augmented in Europe and India. It ap• pears the funds now in hand amount to 63,386/. The last call was paid on the underranding that the amount would be returned to the proprietary if the deposit of 100,0001. were not completed before the Ist of May, or any extended time that may be allowed. With their ac quiescence the funds in hand are sufficient for the pur pose of making the deposit, which will immediately en title those who have paid the calls to interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum from the East India Com pany. The directors congratulated the proprietors oe having arrived at a state of negotiation involving the prospect of a practical result. The CHAIRMAN said he had become connected with the undertaking purely on public grounds, and not as a pecuniary speculation. The directors had but one de sire—to advance the interests of the proprietors and that of the public. The proprietors would have to considem whether they would now abandon this great concern witt a large sacrifice of money, whether they would dissolve the company, or whether they would proceed in the manner suggested by the report, and carry out that which he was satisfied would prove most beneficial to them all, and a great national object. Mr. NoAD, the secretary, read three resolutions, at the request of the chairman; which he stated embodied the views of the directors. They were to the following effect:—That the letter of the East India Company ap peared to the meeting to contain the basis of a negotia tion advantageous under existing circumstances; that the call of 2/. per share made at the meeting held on the 20th of April, for the purpose of paying the deposit of 100,0001., be cancelled, and the amount be returned to the proprietors on application ; that, with a view to making the new deposit of 60,0001, the directors be re quested to make a call of 21. per share, in lieu of that cancelled, and that the shareholders be requested to re spond to it without delay, it being understood that the amount should be returned, unless a contract was made with the East India Company to the satisfaction of a general meeting of the proprietors to be called on the subject. Captain BARBER inquired the cause of the retirement from the board of the three directors of the Great Wes tern of Bengal Company. The CHAIRMAN said that, strictly speaking, there had Wh i el e Phe n c a B sie Ong til l , VIM with that comnat~ It was , undertaking merging with another, both companies afterwards to procee with one common object. He lamented that there should be any mystery as to why the three gentlemen had left the beard, but no reason for their retirement had been stated by them. At the time the proprietors sanctioned the arrangement with the Great Western of Bengal, it was arranged that the com pany should be dissolved, and that they should join the East India Company and-regard its interest as their own. They were afterwards told that the solicitors to the Great Western of Bengal said that the company could not be dissolved without an Act of Parliament, and soon after a Bill was introduced into Parliament without the knowledge or sanction of this company, containing a number of most objectionable clauses, giving parties all sorts of compensation at the expense of this company. It was at length agreed that the Bill should gu on with the objectionable clauses struck out, but suddenly that Bill ceased to exist, and the intention of dissolving the company appeared to have ceased also. He could not state whether they intended to work with this company or against it. General M‘LEop was understood to say that he did not quit the direction on account of any wrong pro ceeding on the part of the board, but Ile objected to the enormous expenditure in sending out the staff to India. Ile bore testimony to the honourable conduct of all the directors during the time he had acted with them. Sir G. LARPENT said the gentlemen referred to had _ . _ . joined the direction in August, and he could only refer to the report presented to the ro o p n r t i l e e lors ' on the 15th of a F i e )p b r r a ua ie ry d, la s s t t a , ti t n o g wi t i h ic e h c t i h rc e u se ms f ances m u en nd s_name . s were Ilmee measure. h this i e f gentlemen e Vlassnt to that l to ndia. report pledged s t h t his connexion with this company that the promotion of their object was a most important one both for India and this country. A long discussion ensued in reference to certain anonymous pamphlets and publications rtth e directors, on. directors, which was disposed of to the satisfaction of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions from Mr. Brown, explained that the line to be executed by the company had still to be arranged with the East India Company; arrangements were pending tor ac ompromise with their staff, with . the exception of some gentlemen who insisted on the entire fulfilment of the contract. It' they proceeded,they would only require a portion of their present staff, which had been engaged for a line of 3,000,000/. instead of 1,000,000/. Ile believed if the company were now wound . up, the original deposit of ss. per share would cover their expenses. Explanations were also given ns to the Bill in Parlia ment for incorporating the company and limiting the liability to 201. per share. The Bid was opposed by the East India Coinpsny, but the Chairman had no doubt but the opposition would be withdrawn on their show ing their ability to complete the proposed arrangement, the clauses of the Bill having been drawn up with the consent of that body, and of the Board of Con trol. It had never been contemplated either by the directors . or the East India Board that the Bill should elt give the company a monopoly of railway undertakings in hcil throughoutt h,, India. .After considerable discussion , an d an amendment pro posing an adjournment, which was ne g atived b y a large majority, the three resolutions wer e ado p ted. 'Tanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated, IRISH RAILWAYS. We return • to the consideration of this important question. Mr. Humphrey Brown has, in his " Irish Wants and Practical Remedies," arrayed a grea t mass . of facts to support his views on Irish railways. .1 4 he is called upon to give estimates of prospective traffic on the proposed railways, he has started by showing the degree of cre dibili t y w hi c h attaches to such estimates. With many , " ra ilway esti mates" have passed into a pro ver b typi ca l of delusion and disappointment ; but prejudice has here taken a e e b s xe t n i me m ea a dd t e e ed. s ob It t t t h hi e se e actualtnog i b i i e e e c r ra s esmt s greater part than tr u th. It i s per f ect l y true t h at t h e , o e m mbl e bite y rse e ,,t a nni rs ago were much e thata lallowances n e c epsriacree to land was enhanced, increas e d s t at i on accommo d at i on was required, the co s t o f l a b our i rcreasei l , Cho weight of rails was raised, the price of iron run up by the iron -masters, arid the size, power, and value of locomotives and stock were likewise aug mented, but no allowance was made for the engineer. It is true there has been a great increase in the estimate of cost ; but there has b ee n a s till greater increase in the estimated income. Indeed, it was the increase of traffic which manifested itself on the railways earlier opened is hich caused the increased expenditure on the others. The engi neer, who had made his calculations to accommo date a small traffic, found that he had to provide heavier locomotives and more frequent trains ; that the rails which he had calculated ut 451bs. per yard must be made to 'Nibs.; and that where he had l a id cattle, s out two acres for a st a tion he m u st have fiv e , and b u ild workshops for h ou ses for goods, and pens engines, fo so much exceed the i contemplated rcqui rements. The only fear we have s that the stated expenses o f working our railways 1 on the " competitive" system may, sheds fur carriages, store- the extent of w hi c h some four or five years h e n ce, be found to have been rather fallacious. But the errors into which railway companies have fallen in this country may be easily t voided by . legislative . assistance and the exercise of a Kittle commercial common sense. ► Mr. BROWN has given some calculations which show the increase of actual traffic over the original estimates in a very strong light. The Midland Railway, as it is aow called, is au amalgamation of three lines, the Bir tningharn and Derby Railway, the North Midland Rail way, and the Midland Counties Railway. For these the otal amount of the original estimates given in by the projectors and the statisticians are shown below, together with the actual traffic from the Parliamentary returns of 1845 : Estimated Number number. realised. 550,985 1,809,145 174 p.—Midland, 6 per cent.

The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease.what sub It deservedly req uires the closest attention and study, forsubject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which that everythe man un shoul d d be possessed. It unfortunately happens victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether antering in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertain , : a fear of ap plying to a qualified physic ian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, and, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician to the medical man who can show by Ida posse sloe of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

DUBLIN, JULY 17.—The club organization is daily assuming a more alarming aspect—more secret in the mode of proceeding, but more concentrated and syste matised, whilst branch clubs are extending far and wide into the rural districts. The recent proceedings in Waterford and Limerick, in connexion with the prose cution against Mr. T. F. Meagher, have shown how dif ficult it is for the leaders to restrain the clubbists front a " premature outbreak." This may be considered madness, and it is nothing short of insanity; but the evil is not the less dangerous; and if some decided steps be not taken for the suppression of the clubs, the most deplorable consequences may be apprehended. The Government, it is welt known, has been watching with great vigilance the progress of the club system. Letters from various parts of the south state that earnest representations have been made to the authori ties regarding the dangerous prospects of those con federacies, and the apprehensions prevailing in conse quence. There are reports of fresh prosecutions to-day. It is alleged that Mr. Meagher is to be prosecuted under the Treason Felony Act for the speech delivered by him to the populace of Limerick on last Friday evening. However, no reliance whatever can be placed on such reports. Mr. Smith O'Brien has gone down to Drogheda, to attend a Repeal demonstration to-day. The following communication, which appears in the Evening Mail, affords a remarkable illustration of the desperate character of the movement in Tipperary:— " CAMEL, JULY 16.—Mr. Michael Doheny is just returned in triumph from the North Riding, and is now setting out, dressed in a most showy military costume, green and gold, mounted on a chesnut charger, at the head of his club (quern regiment ?), to the groat rendezvous of the clubs, on the moun tain of Slievenamon. where it is expected some thousands of the army of the League will assemble this day. Mr. Meagher, of Waterford, is gone with Doheny. The opinion of most people here is that mat ters are hastening to a crisis. •The League know right well, non progrcdi est regredi, and are therefore doing what they can to excite the multitudes to action. In good truth, Government must either put down the clubs, or the clubs will put down the Government, and that very speedily too." The declaration of the Roman Catholic Bishop and clergy of the diocese of Killaloe, on the danger of " the impious club-system," has already received the signatures of seventy-eight clergymen of that diocese. PROSECUTIONS AGAINST THE NEWS VENDERS. At the various police-offices; this day, informations were preferred by the police against newsvenders for sel ling copies of the Nation and Felon newspapers. At the bead office, Sergeant Bowen, A 91, brought a boy named Patrick Cullen before Messrs. Porter and Magee, for " vending a seditious publication called the Nation." It appeared that he was crying va rious papers, amongst others the Nation, when :he constable went up and asked for a Na tion. The prisoner dented he had one, but on search ing him the constable found a copy. The paper was handed to the magistrates, when Mr. Porter read the leading article, bearing the initials "C. G. D." After a long discussion, in which Mr. Rea, a solicitor, ap peared for the prisoner, Mr. Porter declared that the paper was a seditious publication, and that the magis trates would ser.d the case for adjudication before a jury. Ultimately it was arranged to bind the prisoner to ap pear to morrow, when informations will be received. HENRY-STREET OFFICE. Police-constable C 48, charged Ellen Roche with selling copies of the Nation and Felon newipapers, on Saturday last, same being sedi tious and felonious publications. Mr. Kelly, the pre siding magistrate, called for the papers referred to. The constable stated that he did not deprive the prisoner of them. Mr. Kelly, therefore, dismissed the case. COLLEGE-STREET OFFICE. Joseph Mooney WAS Tyndalsaid, I will to send r a ppea charged by B 4 with an offence similar to the above, be fore Mr. Tyndal.

The prisoner at the sessions , was discharged. THE HARVTST.—POTATO CROP.—Tbe weather still continues most favourable. The accounts of the grain crops, with few exceptions, are most enconraging. In some districts the potato blight has certainly appeared, rbut as yet to no serious extent. In general the reports of the potato are very favourable, and the supplies at the markets are becoming considerable. The Rev. Dr. Wilson, who has been nominated by the Queen's Letters Lord Bishop of Cork, will be installed into his high office on. Sunday next.

He said—l am very happy to be able to in►orm you that the duties you have to per corm at this assizes are light indeed. There are not more than five or six bills of indictment to ge before you, and those of a light and ordinary class of crime. After the trial of three persons for burglary, and of a young lad of about twelve yerrs of ago for stealing a watch, Baron RICHARDS said—This disposes of the whole criminal business. I wish I could dispose of the county Tipperary as easily. The Court then rose. FERMANAGH—ENNISKILLEN. JULY 14.

Kenny, solicitor, and Mr. Oliver Sproule, as counsel. attended on behalf of John Martin, proprietor of the Felon, to milto en application to his Lordship to have him admitted to bail. Mr. Smyly and Sir Edward Tierney, Crown Solicitor on the North-west Circuit, appeared on behalf of the Crown to oppoAe the motion.

The youth of nature is contagious, like the gladness of a happy child. I doubt it any man can be called " old," so long as he is an early riser, and an early walker. And oh, youth I—take my word for it —youth in dressing-gown and slippers, dawdling on breakfast at noon, is a very decrepid ghastly image of that youth which sees the su❑ blush over the moun tains, and the dews sparkle upon blossoming hedgerows. —Blackwood's Magazine for July.

THE MAIDEN'S LEAr.—A. daughter of the first Earl of Gowrie was courted by a young Highland gentleman, much her inferior in rank and fortune. Her family, though they gave no encouragement to the match, permitted him to visit them at the castle of Ruthvcn, in Perthshire, and on such occasions the chamber assigned to him was in a tower, near another tower in which his lovely mistress slept. On one of his visits, the young lady, before the doors were shut, got into her lover's apartment, but some pers on of the truly, having discovered it, told her mother, who, cut ting off all possibility of retreat, hastened to surprise them. The young lady, however, hearing the well known steps of her mother hobbling up stairs, ran to the leads, and took a desperate leap of nine feet four inches, over a chasm of CO feet from the ground, alighted on the battlements of the other tower , wh ence descending Into her chamber, he crept into bed. Her m other having in vain sought her in her lover's cham ber came into h l er room, where, finding her seemingly gised for her unjust suspicion. T he y oung l a dy elope as leep, she apo od the following night with her Highland l a ddie and was married. The chasm between pe the ow ter . s known Maiden s .

Passengers Cattle - ...* ... 7,244 30,000 Sheep ... 27,105 120,000 51erchandise by land ... tons 151,155 371,154 Coals by water tons 285,000 313,854 Thus it will be seen that under each head a vast in crease has taken place, and yet a great amount of goods and coals is still carried by water. In the case of the Manchester and Leeds Railway the same results are seen:— Estimated Number number. realised. Passengers ... „., 207,888 1,674,946 Goods by land and water, tons 358,958 507,852 The whole quantity of goods carried before the Alanchester and Leeds Railway was established was 106,486 tons, and now 507,852 tons are carried by rail way, which is more than the whole amount before car ried by road and canal ' together, whereas the traffic on the canals remains. The Midland Railway is a line now under Mr. Hud son's management. The York and North Midland Rail way was constructed under his eye, and has been maniged by him through out B t his ts railway was b egun th e w h o l e traffic in goods and coals was as f o ll owt: ;,, sierebandise by land 72 by water Coal by water ... 5,547 tons ... 95,100 ... 98,000 Altogether .. 198,647 tons The quantity of goods and coals now carried on the York and North Midland Railway is 351,022 tons; the water traffic, as in the other cases, being still carried on. The number of passengers estimated was 185,660; the number carried in 1845 was 464,755. This is worth being borne in mind, because Mr. Hudson has always been a mark of attack, as keeping up high fares. That he must have increased the public accommodation is evident from the fact that 279,095 more passengers were carried in 1845 than belore the railway was constructed, viz., an increase of 150 per cent. The South-Eastern is one which has been much com plained of. The result stands thus:— Estimates-317,252 passengers...... 63,079 tons goods. Returns-1,477,892 ditto ...... 204,100 ditto. The Great Western Railway has been attacked for want of accommodation, and high fares. Here we fi n d— E3timates-821,145 passengers...... 140,710 tons goods. Returns-3,876,222 ditto ...... 371,326 ditto. These figures include those of the Great Western and 13ristol and Exeter Railways. Having taken these data as a sufficient guarantee of he validity of estimates of railway traffic when made by ;ompetent parties, Mr. Brown proceeds to give, from diaterials of his own, returns of traffic in thirteen dis tricts in Ireland. _ The total length of railway which would supply these listricts is 411 wiles, and as a further guarantee of the Accuracy of these returns it may be mentioned that three Jf them refer to lines of railway of a total length of 90i .niles, or nearly one-fourth of the whole for which Acts .it .Parliament have been obtained, and the works of all .hree of which are in progress. We perceive that it is not Mr. Brown's object to re cominend any of these lines for execution. He only orings forward the statistics which he had in his pos .)ession, and which illustrate satisfactorily the resources ,t Ireland. In these thirteen lines or districts the estimated .raffic is— eassengers ... •• ••• £2,206,584 Agricultural produce and building mate-- rials ... ••• tons 361,053 Goods and Merchandise . . tons 274,420 Merchandise, and agricultural produce by • water ... ... tons 118,587 Minerals and coals 273,977 liorses and catttle 483,572 Sheep and pigs 461,791 The total estimated traffic on 411 miles of road is as follows: Vassengers Guods... ... ... £2,206,584 ... tons 1,023,210 The total estimated traffic on 702 miles Engli6h rail way was:— L'atisengers ... 43,083,759 ,iouds ... tons The total traffic realised in 1845 was : jouds... .. tons "2,645,259 The excess 01 traffic over the estimates is : Passengers ... tivods... 736,448 ... £5,536,601 tons 1,3')5,807 The percentage of this excess of traffic is respecti-vely .60 and 170 per cent. Now putting aside all considerations of the cost of the railways, and of the return on the capital, and consider ing fur the moment that there is no money return, and that there is a loss of the whole capital expended, now great is the national benefit from the construction ‘,l these 702 miles of railway in England? Five and a nail int:lions of persons, and 1,300 tons of goods carried annually, for winch before no accommodation was pro vided! In a national consideration of the questions, such .ire the right figures to be taken, and not the mere pounds, shillings, and pence. Mr. Brown dwells for citify on this as the right application in the case of Ire land. Ile contends that great results are to be effected, industry is to be promoted, employment provided, and the resources ot the country increased. 11 we apply the above figures to the whole of England, where 3,830 miles of railway are now open, we shall be able to draw the conclusion that nearly 40,000,00 0 of persons and 7,000,000 tons of goods are) early carried by railway over a space of some 20 miles, and for which be fore there was no such accommodation. It cannot be denied that the benefit accruing to the business of the country from these results must be very great, and they certainly justify Mr. Brown's policy in advocating a similar system for Ireland. Mr. Brown, however, is not contented with the bare assertions that more agricultural labourers and more tons of produce are carried, but he devotes himself to establish the fact that there is a posi uve increase in the supply of food. 111 E MIDLAND (IRE AT WESTERN RAILWAY OF IRELAND. This stupendous under, eking is advancing rapidly towards completion, and will, it is expected, be finished to Alullingur early in the exsuing month, thus opening up one ot the richest veins through the interior of the country, and will (independent of promising a large re turn to the present shareholders) be of immense advan tage to the farmer and grazier, by offering a quick transit for their cattle and produce to the Dublin and Liverpool markets. The income of the company hitherto has averaged 1,0001. per week, or 50,0001. per annum; and that amount, it should be remembered, is exclusive of the charge fur the conveyance of the mails, as yet not taken into account, but which, when finally arranged, will pro. bably produce to the company from 14,0001. to 15,000/. per annum in addition; therefore, it may be fairly concluded, when the line produces so much at present_ though only partially opened, and to a place of no note —the income, when open to Mullingar, will b e more than doubled, visaing, as the railway will, through the very best part of Ireland, and combining also the double advantage of two modes of conveyance — viz., th e cana l and rail—an advantage, by the bye, Which no other railway in Ireland can boast of. The proprietors, therefore, have every right to anti cipate a considerable improvement in the value of their property, which has been hitherto so much depressed, from various co-operating causes; and to hope from the above gratifying statement, together with the present cheering prospect of the coming harvest (lor which all should be thankful to Providence), that their affairs will gradually improve. Much credit is certainly due to the board of directors. for their unceasing exertions to forward the works, during a period of monetary depression and commercial distress unexampled in the history of these countries— the advantage of wh ich should be gratefully acknow ledged by the prese nt p ro p rietors.— Mercantile Adver tiser.
