Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a:Jamas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cure.l.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER-FRIDAY EVENING. The Derby betting has been very extensive. The Ro salie colt has been in no demand at 14 to 1; Soult has had to give way to Pairemon, whose party really seem deter mined to ruin the town. Two or three gentlemen never stop. 17 to 1 was the top offer yesterday on Tuesday night 20 to 1 in fifties was laid ; and in a private quarter, on Wednesday, 18 to lin rouleaus. He has been coupled to Eringo at 9 to 1, and would have been to Soult at tl.e same figure. The Duke of Wellington was in right mili tary force at the early part of the week-9,000 to 200 was laid and taken in one hand. On Tuesday night Mustapha (trained by J. Day) was dashingly supported for approach ing a hundred pounds at 1,000 to 10, and finally to 20, Yesterday morning we noticed 500 to 7 taken on the same colt, also 1,500 to 21; 1,000 to 20 was afterwards offered. 1,000 to 5 was laid v. Warlock; 1,000 to 15 Ben Brace (offered); 500 to 10 The Nob (offered); 18 ponies to 1 was then offered against Soult ; and 100 to 7 on the field. The night of Tuesday furnished the Riddlesworth as a novelty, and also the 2,000 Guineas Stakes. For the former Eringo vies backed at 60 to 40, and for the latter Mustapha at 10 to 1 in scores. 20 to 1 was offered v. Tory Boy for the St. Leger, and 20 ponies to 1 taken on The Squire ; and, we believe, 500 was laid at evens The Squire against Thistlewhipper. The business to-day requires no cosoment. 14 to 1 was off red on the Derby field ; 17 to 1 accepted in ponies on Palmmon ; 7i to 1 in scores laid the field v. Rosalie and Pa!wmon ; also 200 to 3 agst Van Amburgh. The others, w:th a trifling exception or two, may have justice done them by a glance at " the doings" at Hyde Park-corner, or our last observations. FROM FRIDAY'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS.

JAMES'S NEW WORK, " LETTERS IL LUSTRATIVE OF THE COURT AND TIMES OF WILLIAM THE HIRD."—" This collection of letters is a very valuable com mentary upon the history of the period to which it belongs, and throws light upon a vast number of events, hitherto Obscure or unexplained, but which are here presented in their real colours. The minute details into which the writer enters, and the opportunities which he possessed fur obtaining information of every thing that occurred, afford a sufficient guarantee for the truth of his general statements; while the character of the times, so fertile in political intrigue, stamps them with a deep interest. Pre fixed to the correspondence is a memoir of the author, James Vernon, Esq , Secretary of State from 1697 to 1708. The correspondence begins at a very interesting period, when conspiracies were rife for the restoration of the exiled House of Stuart. Another very valuable part of the correspondence consists of the letters written in the spring of 1697. It is not, however, in detached parts that this collection must be estimated, but in its general application to the occurrences of the day, dining the space of twelve }ears; and Mr. James is quite right in charac terising it as' a treasury of facts.' That gentleman's la hours in editing a work of this nature, and the extremely useful notes which he has appended to the text, deserve every commendation."-21forning Herald. THE ADVANTAGE OF TRANSPORTATION.— At the Dublin Sessions Court on Saturday, Jane Barret, a young woman apparently about 25 years of age, very well dressed, and possessing considerable personal attrac tions, was indicted for stealing a purse and twelve or four teen shillings, the prcparty of Denis Horgan. The prose cutor, who, from his peculiar movements, appeared as if he were a French dancing-master, stated that he met the pri soner in Merrion-square, and that she followed him into Mount-street, where she succeeded in extracting his purse with the money. The prisoner, who spoke in rather a foreign accent, said that he gave her the money, as she would not demean herself by stealing such a small sum from a kcowt like the prosecutor, more particularly as she was in the habit of keeping company with gentlemen. The prisoner was found guilty. The Recorder asked the pri soner if she had not been in the Court before ? At the same time his Lordship mentioned that, if his recollection served him right, he had formerly sentenced her to seven years' transportation for felony. The prisoner said his Lordship's memory was perfectly correct ; he had sen tenced her to transportation for the term stated, and that she was only returned from New South Wales six days I She prayed the Court to pass the same sentence on her now, for, if her request was not complied with, she would annoy the Court, and put the citizens to additional ex pense. She added, " Wh en I was i n S y d ney I li ve d re spectable and like a woman ; no one there knew me to be an unfortune female, and, therefore, I had peace of mind and happiness. Here there is no resource for a young female but degradation and infamy. If lam left here I must follow a life revolting to my nature and inclination ; so send me back again, or if you do not this time you will have to do it shortly." The Learned Recorder, after con sidering a few seconds, complied with her request, and sentenced her to seven years' transportation. The prisoner thanked the Court, with tears in her eyes, for the favour, and, turning from the bar, leaped into the dock, saying, in a loud voice. " Hurra for old Sydney, and the sky over it l" FOOT RACE.—On Saturday morning, at eight, a grand foot race for 100 guineas, between Captain Small wood, and James Copthall, the celebrated groom, of rac ing notoriety, came off in the Regent's Park. The pedes trians started from the New.road, fronting St. Maryle , bone New Church (each taking opposite courses). ro;:nd the exterior of the Regent's Park, up Great Albany street, by St. John's Wood Chapel, along the Parkroad, to the starting-place, opposite Marylebone Church. The distance, being three miles and three-quarters, was per ; formed in the space of 17 minutes and 10 seconds ; the groom beating Captain S. by the short distance of eleven yards. Three of the Chartists, who have of late been most con spicuous, namely, Messrs. Dover, Hewitt, and Pain, oated this week upon the Mayor to present a memorial which they stated was s i gne d by 140 rate-payingin habitants, requesting the use of St. Andrew's Hall for the purpose of meeting their friends, and " publicly discussing the propriety of memorializing her Majesty for the imrne- . di,to liberation of a ll p o liti ca l ffenders." The C:itel Magistrate, not considering that the Hall was required by ti.e memorialists for a legitimate object, declined comply ing with their request, and we are sure the respctable portion of our fellow-citizens will approve of Mr. Edward Willett's determination that the venerable old Hall shall not be the guidancedisgracedeagainof the c bysuc h h ar s t c i e s n ts. es as hive been enacted under 7he Chartists are parading the city this morning With flags and banners, and a band of music, the procession being partly in mourning. They are perhaps 400 or 500 strong. a great portion of whom are boys and women. The fol lowing notice has been circulated in the city for the last few days, which marks the course of the procession : " Attend ! attend ! I attend !I the meeting on Ness Year's day, and show your sympathy for the true sons pi liberty. The procession will start at half-past nine o'clock in the morning from St. Paul's Plain, and proceed by Pea cock-street, St. Edmund's, &c. to the Market-place, where the friends of the incarcerated victims will lay before you the circumstances by which they are surrounded. Gentlemen from distant parts of England are expected to address you." At the time of going to press they bad arrived in the Mark. t-place, where they are haranguing each other. Mr. Dover is amongst the leaders, and there are said to be some strangers arrived, many of whom, with flags and banners, are from Yarmouth.—Norwich Gazette. THE HON. COL. MOLYNEUX AND THE POLICE. In consequence of the complaint of Colonel Molyneua to the Magistrates of Norwich, that the policeman in that borough did not salute the officers in her Majesty's sorv!ce. the Magistrates thought right to forward the following letter to the flume Office: Norwich, 21st December, 1840. My Lord,—Colonel Molyneux, of the Bth Regiment of fl , issars, now quartered in the Barracks of this city, has complained to the Mayor and Magistrates that the man of the police force in the city do not salute, or cap, the mili• tary officers in the same manner as privates in the army, and alleges that the metropolitan police force, and the men of the rural police force, have instructions to salute on all occasions in the manner required by the Colonel. The Mayor and Magistrates are desirous of testifying all courtesy to the officers of the army, but the police force are, in virtue of the Municipal Corporations Act, under the management of the Watch Committee, who think that no formal order or regulation should be entered on thi books of the police force, making it punishable in the moi not to salute the military, but that they should be in formed it is expected they will behave respectfully to all classes. _ _ _ I am directed by the Mayor and Magistrates to ask thi favour of )our Lordship to inform them whether it is a re gulation required by the Hume Office, that the police con stables should salute the otiLers cf the army (being igno rant that such a rule rxistcd), in order that they may if necessary communicate with the Watch Committee on the subject. Ti:,. C donel states that unless the men arc ordered to he shall make a report thereof to his superiors at the I fors:: Guards. _ _ I have the honour to be, your Lordship's most obedien► servant, JOHN R. STAFF, Town Cle.lt. To the Right Hon. the Marquis of Normanby, &c. &c To this application the following answer has been re ceivecl:— Whitehall, Dcc. 26, 1840. . _ Sir—l am directed by the Marquis of Normanby to ac knotklvdge the receipt of your letter of the 21st inst., and in reply to the inquiry of the Mayor and Magistrates 0 , Norwich, to inform you, that the Metropolitan Police con stables have no orders to salute military officers, and that it is not the practice of that force to do so. I am also to inform you, that no such order has been made by the Secretary of State with respect to the officer', appointed under the County Constables Act, or the Me trorolitan Police Act. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPS. John R. Staff, E,q., Town Clerk, Norwich. The Mayor instantly forwarded a copy to Colonel Mo ly nen x . PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON BONA PARTE TO LORD DUDLEY STUART. The following letter addressed by Prince Louis Na poleon to Lord Dudley C. Stuart will probably Interco our readers. It recoris an act of geneiosity on the P,inee's part, and shows a disposition to alleviate as much as lays in -his power the miaers which his ambition ha entailed upon one of his humblest and most ignoran followers. It proves also that Louis Philippe is equall, generous, ai be allows his prisoner to correspond with his friends, and even to make use of his pecuniary re sources : " My dear Lord Dudley—Knowing the interest whist you feel for the Pules, I request that you will be my in terpreter with the person named V. W., living in Duke street, St. James's, and whose leg was amputated in con sequence of wounds received at Boulogne. I sent hid. provisionally one thousand francs ; but I should wish t, grant him ,a small pension until he finds himself in a situa tion to get employment. I beg you to state, therefore, ho.v I am to transmit the money to him, and whether h( has really forfeited his allowance as a refugee. In boa eases say what I ought to give him. " I ask your pardon, my dear Lord Dudley, for the trouble I give you, and I beg that you will receive the as. surauce of my distinguished sentiments. (Signed) " NAPOLEON LOUIS B." FRENCH ARTS AND MANUFAC- TURES. EXFRACT from the Opening Lecture of Baron Charles Dupin, at the Coaservatory of Arts and Trades in 1840 : France, the richest country of Continental Europe by uniting the gain of each, and the produce of all work, presents an annual revenue of 10,000 mil liards. These 10,000 milliards, equally divided be tween thirty-four millions, would give to each 80e. per day : consequently, if the produce of industry were divided equally between all Frenchmen, the share of each would be 80c., but on the con dition that each furnishes 80e. worth of work in order to obtain in return 80c. worth of produce. But out o; these 80 centimes the general administration of the kingdom and the municipal a dministration take with severe punctuality 12c. is order to make up the 15,000 or 16,000 millions of taxes and duties raised yearly. This subtraction being made, there remeins to each individual 68c. Does any one thank that with 6Se. per day those profound studies, those extraor dinary efforts of imagination, of calculation, and of in vention, so necessary to the progress of the useful and the fine arts, would exist ? Or, without speaking of the chefs dceuvrc of which the nation is so proud, does any one think that with 68c. per day such painter: as Vernet, Ingres, Delaroche, and Pajol ; sculptors such as Bosic, Cortot, David, and Fradier ; engravers such as Desnojers, Gelle, Tardieu, and Rieho mm e ; and such architects as Fontaine. Percier, Soufflet, and Brogniard could have produced those works which perpetuate and popularize the finest reminiscences of national glory. Finally, not to go farther than the cate gory of our great artists, I have marked the last, that of architects, which forms, as it were, the junction be tween fine arts and industry. Can it be supposed that an architect could conceive the plans, accomplish the calculations, and direct the execution of a triumphal arch such as the A,'c de PEloile, such a temple as the Pantheon or the Madeleine, or such a museum as the Louvre, all for 68 cents• per day The grandeur and beauty of monuments which honour an illustrious nation should thus be done with out. Mankind should resume their miserable huts and cabins, inhabited by a poor and jealous populace, not p rinitting artists of genius to rise above the mass. Nevertheless, if the reflection be made that in Bre tagne, in Auvergne, and many other provinces, the day's work of a healthy man in the country is only worth 70c., that of his wife 35c., that of children, of from ten to fifteen, almost nothing, and that of younger children, nothing at all ; it will be easy to understand that in these provinces the salary is far below 68e. But at Bordeaux, et Marseilles, at Nantes, in Rouen, and in Paris, the day's work of a healthy man is worth ; th a t of his wife 90e- The average share of a work man, his wife, and children, far exceeds 680. Here is a list of a f ew p rofess ions with what they now gain in Paris :—Journeymen bakers, 3f., po r ters of the corn market, 41. ; carp enters of t he first class, 4f. ; print ing compositors, 61 . ; tailors, who cut out, 151. ; diner watchmakers, 20f. What workman at eighty centim es per day will re place an engineer who, by his genius, and by his capital, has been enabled to build a manufactory, in which are made steam-engines of one, two, three, or even five lion dred horse-power? A million of francs is necessary for the building and the tools of his manufactory ; can thie million be taken out of eighty centimes, were there 100, or even 200 workmen to make it up ? In order to vivify by commerce ten contiguous departments a rail road is necessary ; a very small number of capitalists would suffice to supply these enormous expenses, as soon as a government had granted its protection free from the spirit of monopoly and corporation ; but if capital be in finitely and evenly divided, what will be done, out of SO centimes a h e ad, to collect eighty millions, without which the magnificent means of communication cannot be per fected ? We have r eason to believe that the christening of the Princess Roya l is fixed for th e 10t h of next month, - the anniversary of her Majesty's marriage. A meeting was held on Wednesday, at the East In dia and Colonial Club rooms, in Suffolk -street, Pall Mali, for the purpose of considering the propriety of establishing a railway to join the Northern and Eastern R tilvvay at Bishop's Stortford, to Norwich and Yar mouth, by Cambridge, Newmarket, and Thetford. The meeting, which was both numerous and highly respectable, was attended by the Marquis of Douro, M.P., W. L. W. Chute, Esq. M.P., Benjamin Smith, Esq., M.P., Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Isaac Jenny, Esq., Recorder of Norwich, Samuel Bignold, Esq., Edward Varnish, Esq., General Blachford, Major Head, Captain Kerr, Richard Broun, Esq., George Rebins.m, Esq., William Taylor, Esq., W. J. Taylor, Esq., James W. Smith, Esq., Thomas Hammond, Esq. (Yarmouth), J. L. Cufaude, Esq. (Yar mouth), Herman, Esq., Chairman of the Brighton Railway), M‘Lean, Esq., William Drake, Esq. (East Dereham), Mr. Mann (Norwich), William Clark, E•q. (Thetford), Christopher Spanton, Esq. (Attleborough), Richard Lloyd, Esq., A. A. H. Back with, Esq. (Governor of the Corporation of Guardians of Norwich), William Andrews, Esq., Hyde Clarke, E.g., William Laxton, Esq., James Sowerby, Esq., Joseph Parkes, Esq., W. M. Kitson, Esq., of Norwich, with numerous other influential gentlemen. W. L. W. Chute, Esq., M.P., was called to the chair. The Marquis of Douao,in moving the first resolution, observed that some people objected to railways altoge ther, and thought that they did not contribute much to the public convenience ; but even those persons would agree that a railway to Norwich was necessary when they were made aware of the fact, that those places which had art easy and quick communication with London by mean► of railroad had an advantage of which Norwich and Yarmouth had hitherto been deprived, and which proved highly injurious to the commerce and agricul. culture of those populous and important towns.--( Hear, hear.) The resolution was as follows : "'That this meeting is impressed with a strong con viction, that unless the county of Norfolk, city of Nor wich, and towns of Cambridge, Newmarket, Thetford, and Great Yarmouth, by the immediate construction of a railway to the metropolis, are placed upon an equality with other parts of the kingdom, where railroads are eoinpleted, and in progress, the great agricultural and sommereial interest of this important district must ma •erially suffer in the race of competition." SAMUEL BIGNOLD, Esq. (of Norwich), seconded the resolution. He felt that the railway was necessary for the welfare of the city of Norwich, which stood parti eulat ly in need of the benefits of a railway comfnunica tion with the metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) Ile had lately had an opportunity of communicating with the 'ceding manufacturers in Norwich, and there was an univeral complaint that the manufacturing interest was suffering greatly in consequence of not having the ad vantage of a railway. The merchants and traders of London could visit York and return to London almost in the time they could now merely go to Norwich. Ha was therefore prepared to support to the utmost the formation of a railway to Norwich, but he would not lend that support to any project which he was not fully satisfied was set on foot for the public good. If he could for a moment suppose there was any political ob ject, or any other object in this project than the promo tion of public interests and the welfare of his fellow-citizens, be would immediately retire from it.—( Hear, hear.) Two years ago there was a talk of a Railway to Norwich, but there was then an unwil lingness on the part of the citizens of Norwich to pat down their names for shares, because they were appre hensive that the project would terminate like the Eastern Counties affair—that the Railway would be completed for about thirty or forty -miles from London, and Norwich left in the lurch. Ho himself stated at the time, that if they would commence the work at Norwich he would take shares to the amount of 1, 1 )00/. He was prepared to say the same again ; and if it could be shown to the citizens of Norwich that there was a bona fide intention of connecting Norwich with the metropolis, people of all shades of political opinion would come forward and support it.—( Hear, hear.) He highly approved of the line now contemplated, and would support it by taking shares, although it would not be in his power, being a commercial man, to take any active part in the management. Mr. Bignold concluded amidst great applause, by seconding the first resolution, which was carried unanimously. B. SMITH, Esq., M.P. for Norwich, proposed the second resolution, and expressed his opinion that the line proposed by Mr. Rastrick, the engineer, was a good line. Indeed he did not serunie to say that he had always been of opinion that a line in the direction of Cambridge would be the cheapest and most prefer able. The resolution was as follows e " That this meeting are of opinion that a line of railway proceeding from Yarmouth to Bishop's Stort ford, by way of Norwich, Wymondham, Attleborough, Thetford, Newmarket, and Cambridge, will afford ad vantages for carrying out the objects proposed, and may apparently be completed at a reasonable cost, and secure a considerable traffic, with a prospect of in crease, by the junction of railways from the north at Cambridge and by the completion of branches fro:n Lincolnshire, Huntingdonshire, Bury St. Edmund's, and other parts of Suffolk, and all parts of the important districts of the Bedford Level ; the towns of Lynn, Swailnatn, Fakenham, and Dereham, and all the western parts of Norfolk." THOMAS HAMMOND, Esq., a Magistrate of Yar mouth, and Chairman of the Fishing Merchants' Club, seconded the resolution. He was happy to say that in the town of Yarmouth all party feeling with regard to this matter was completely buried in oblivion. Every one must feel the importance of a railway not only to Yarmouth and Norwich, but to the whole county— ( Hear, hear)—and he was authorised to state on behalf of the trading and fishing interests in the town of Yar mouth that they would lend their utmost endeavours to carry the measure into full effect.--(Cheers.) lie agreed with Mr. Bignold that the work should be com menced simultaneously at each end, because Norwich and Yarmouth had been thrown in the background by the conduct of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. He understood that the Members for Yarmouth were out of town, otherwise he had ascertained that they would have attended this meeting ; but he could state for the information of the gentlemen present, that a few weeks ago he had a long conversa tion with them upon the subject of a line of railroad to Yarmouth, and they both pledged themselves to use their utmost endeavours to have it carried into opera tion.—(Cheers.) Mr. RASTRICK then read the following extracts from an able and elaborate Report, which ho had prepared : " The line proceeds from Bishop's Stortford to Cam bridge, thence to Newmarket, Nlildenhall, Thetford, Attleborough, Wymondham, and Norwich to Yarmouth. " In carrying out the line, but little difficulty will be experienced in getting through Parliament as to the part between Bishop's Stortford and Cambridge, inas much as all questions with the landowners have been settled in the Act, obtained by the Northern and Eastern Company, but subsequently abandoned by them for want of funds. " The geological character of nearly the entire line is the chalk formation furnishing materials of the most favourable description, both for cuttings and embank ments, and the road when once made, may be main tained at the minimum expense. " The most expensive part of the line is between _ Bishop's Stortford and Cambridge, and the time re quired for its completion would be about three years. "'I his part of the line has, however, extensive advan tages, forming as it does the key of all railroads to the metropolis coming in this direction from the north, as well as from Norwich and all other parts of Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and some portion of' the county of Middlesex, thereby insuring a good dividend to the Shareholders upon that portion of the capital expended in forming it. " The obtaining the proprietorship of this part of the line is therefore most important. " No tunnel will be required from Cambridge to I'ar• mouth, a distance of nearly eighty miles, and there are no extraordinary deep cuttings nor embankments, and only one viaduct, and no deep ravines or rapid rivers to cross, whilst the materials are of such an excellent quality of cuttings, that they may be cut upright, and a large por tion of the land is of so inferior a quality, that its pur chase will form an inconsiderable item in the expendi ture, and the line does not pass through or interfere with any gentleman's park or pleasure grounds, nor in any way passes in an objectionable manner through any town. " The whole line will form an easy and expeditious means of communication from, to, and between Cam bridge, Newmarket, the Swaffhams, Fordham, Soham, Mildenhall, Thetford, Brandon, Harling, the Buckcn• hams, Kenninghall, Attleborough, Hingham, Wymond ham, Norwich, and Yarmouth ; affording facilities for branches from Ware, Hertford, Huntingdon, St. Neots, Ely, Bury St. Edmund's, Downham, Swaffham, Dere ham, Lynn, and thence to Wisbech, Stamford, and the whole of the improving and important district of the Great Bedford Level of the Fens ; and also forming the natural communication between the metropolis and the contemplated new district of the Great Level of the Wash. 4. 'With all these populous cities, towns, and villages, there can be no doubt but that the passenger traffic along this line will be immense ; and the line between Cambridge and Yarmouth can be made in the short space of two years, whilst that from Bishop's Stortford will require only one year longer, so that this entire line will be open to the public in three years. s' The cost between — Cambrid ge and Norwich is esti mated at a less sum per mile than any other railway in the kingdom of so great an extent can be made for, this part of line extending for sixty-three miles. " The cost between Norwich and Yarmouth is esti mated at a still less sum per mile ; this part of the line extending over about 18 miles, and giving the greatest possible facility to the fishing interest in sending off their fish to the metropolis and the interior of the country, and forming the most advantageous and im portant station in the kingdom for the Northern foreign mail packets." Mr. Rastrick also produced an estimate of the ex penses of the formation of the line, together with a cal. culation of the traffic, from data carefully collected, showing a profitable return to the shareholders for the capital to be invested. The resolution was put by the CitAttimAN, and car ried unanimously. Mr. BECKWITH then handed to the Chairman a letter from the Sheriff of Norwich, expressing his most decided approbation of the meeting, and the proposed line of railway. Mr. BIGNOLD proposed the third resolution, which was seconded by E. Varnish, Esq., and carried unani mously, it was as follows : " That John Urpeth Rastriek, Esq., having produced to this meeting sections and plans extending over such line, and having made a report thereon, showing its great advantages and facilities for execution, this meet ing are of opinion that a Company should be imme diately formed for the completion of the same, to be styled the Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge Railway Company." Mr. BIGNOLD rejoiced to learn from the Report of their talented Engineer that the contemplated line cf railway would ri,A interfere at all with the parks or estates of private gentlemen, and he hoped that cir cumstance would conciliate many in their favour. He alluded to that statement in the Report more parti cularly, because a very intelligent and influential gen tleman, who he believed was honoured and respected by all who knew him (Mr. Richard Gurney), had ex pressed, through the Press, his hostility to railways, because they cut through and destroyed valuable es tates, but when that gentleman ascertained that Mr. Rastrick's line would commit no such injury, he (Mr. B.) hoped that his extensive and powerful influence would he exerted in favour of an undertaking that could not fail to prove highly beneficial to his fellow-citizens. —(Cheers.) Mr. RASTRICK wished to state that there was one Nobleman's park that would be affected by the line, namely, Lord Braybrooke's, but the Act obtained by the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway Company, would obviate all difficulty in that respect. ISAAC JERMY, Esq., Recorder of Norwich, and Chairman of the*County Quarter Sessions, rose to move the next resolution. In doing so he observed that a meeting had been advertised, to be held at Norwich next Thursday. To the requisition calling that meet ing were the names ef a great number of men of pro perty and influence, and that meeting had been called for the purpose of considering, not what particular line should be adopted, ;Jut what was best to be done with out regard to the interests of Solicitors, Agents, En gineers, or any party whatsoever.—(Hear.) For him. self he could conscientiously state that he discountenanced anything of the sort, but before they could expect to enlist the public in their cause, they must satisfy them that they were determined to carry on the undertaking perfectly independent of all private interests.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) The best way in which they could manifest such a determination, was to tender their co-operation to the Meeting about to be held at Norwich, to afford them every information and expla nation in their power, and to unite with them in car rying oat the common object. If that meeting dc- sired a little deviation from the proposed line, the object should be to endeavour to meet their view. So ►f meetings should be held in Suffolk or Cambridge, they ought to be met in the same spirit.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution which had been entrusted to him was as follows : " Tnat having observed with great satisfaction the announcement of a Meeting of the Landowners of Norfolk, for the purpose of supporting a Railway, this Meeting requests its Chairman forthwith to put himself in communication with those gentlemen, it being the opinion of this Meeting that it is essential for ensuring the success of so great an undertaking that all interests should co-operate in one united effort to obtain its completion." J. 'ham as, Esq., Chairman of the Brighton Rail way Company, seconded the resolution. He was in no way connected with the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, but was a London man. He had, however, been engaged in a very large undertaking of the same character, and having had the plans and sections of the proposed rail way to Yarmouth laid before him and explained by Mr. Rtstriek, who had acted with him in carrying out the London and Brighton Railway, he had no hesitation in saying that he Fully approved of the undertaking. At the same time he would state his conviction, that if they went before Parliament with any decided opposition they would find it difficult to get parties to co-operate with them, if gentlemen who were interested in the promotion of the railway did not come forward in a manner to convince the monied interest of Lon don and other places that they were earnest in their object. There ought, therefore, to be the greatest co-operation throughout the whole of the line. lie could safely say, having looked at the plans and sec tious, and the estimates of Mr. Rastrick, and having devoted some time to his able report, that that gentle man had furnished them with an estimate founded on honest principles. Those who embarked in the under taking need be under no apprehension of not receiving ample remuneration for their capital and trouble. He should be glad to render all the assistance in his power in carrying out the undertaking, but he must first of all be persuaded that the gentlemen who had projected it were in earnest, and felt the necessity of a railway. CHRISTOPHER SPAN TON, Esq., Attleborough, stated that he had received a note from Sir Thomas Beevor, expressing his approbation of the undertaking. He had waited on Lord Albemarle, who had told him that his engagements would prevent his attending the meeting, but that he was ready to assist the measure by all the means in his power, and his Lordship had dis tinctly authorised him (Mr. Spanton) to state to the meeting that he was perfectly satisfied the Railway would prove advantageous to his property and the country in general.—( Hear, hear.) A letter h td also been put into his hand by Mr. Cufaude, of armouth, from the Mayor of that borough, approving the line ; and he could assure the meeting that through out the district in which he resided (Attlebarough) the landowners were unanimously in favour of the proposed railway.—(Hear, hear.) WILLIAM CLARK, Esq. (Clerk of the Peace of Thetford) begged leave to state that he had been re quested to attend the Meeting on the part of Thet ford, and to express the concurrence of the inhabit ants of that borough in the measure, and their desire to see it carried into full operation. lie (as the agent of my Lord Ashburton) could also state that as the line projected by Mr. Rastrick would not inter fere prejudicially with his Lordship's estate, he (Lord Ashburton) would support it. The intended railway would certainly pass through Lord Ashburton's pro perty as well as his own, but he (Mr. C.) would cheerfully submit to any thing that was for the good of Thetford and the country in general.—(Hear, hear.) John Deck, Esq., of Bury, had also written to say that he highly approved of Mr. Rastrick's line, and that the inhabitants of Bury were anxious to see the main trunk of the railway established, in order that a branch might be carried on to Bury, and that he was convinced the Marquis of Bristol, ever anxious to promote the inte rests of that borough, would give the undertaking his cordial support.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. DRAKE stated that he should not have obtruded himself upon the notice of the meeting but for the obser vations of Mr. Harman, the Chairman of the Brighton Railway. Having, however, been in communication with several of the Noblemen and Gentlemen whose names had been mentioned in the announcement of the meeting to be held in Norwich, and holding letters from Lord Sondes and others of those parties, containing as surances that they were not pledged to any particular line, he felt it due to the meeting, and particularly to those London capitalists who had honoured the meeting with their sanction and presence, to assure them that the requisitionists of the Norwich meeting would ap7 proaeh the discussion of the subject unfettered, 1 and t quite prepared to adopt the most practicable expensive line ; and, indeed, had they been a a n i w e 'a .i re '' .l o:" the great sacrifice in expense and labour w s lc 1 1)la l ns d , been incurred in maturing and perfecting the abi sections, and report, which Mr. Rastrick had this day produced, he (Mr. D.) felt assured that tl n ie e s c cg slir gentle_ men would not have felt any suc h meeting es Mr. DRAKE added that he waq also intrusted with letters from influential inhabitants of the important town of Lynn, expressive of cordial co-operation in the objects of the meeting, and begging that the exten sion of the line to that densely populated and wealthy district might not be lost sight of ; which letters were handed in to the Chairman. The resolution was then put and carried. M r . VARNISH proposed the .sth resolution That a Committee be appointed to arrange the de tails of the Company, and carry out the views of the ince i ng -, with power to add to their numbers." Which was seconded by D. M'LKAN, Esq., and car ried unanimously. A. A. H. BeckwlTH, Esq., Governor of the Cor poration of the Court of Guardians of the City of " That the thanks of this meeting are pre-eminently due to the Chairman for his kindness in taking the chair, and his marked attention to the importai.t busi ness of the meeting." And observed that one advantage that would attend the railway would be the employment of a vast number of poor persons, who were at present in a state of the most abject. poverty. He had been informed by several ma nufacturers, that the falling off in the staple trade of Norwich was mainly owing to the defect of comamaica tion between Norwich and the metropolis, as compared with the facility of communication between Lowden and the northern counties. It was of vital importance to Norwich that the railway should be completed as soon as possibie,aad it would prove a great benefit not merely to commerce, but to agriculture. It. LLOYD, Esq., seconded the vote of thank!, which was carried amidst great applause. The CiiMitllAN returned thanks, and observed that he had felt great pleasure in attending the meeting. As one of the representatives of the county, he cansidered it to be his bounden duty to do all he could to benefit it, aria Lc thought he could not benefit it more than by assisting in the accomplishment of that great measure they had met to carry out.—(Hear, bear.) He thought he might now congratulate the county on the fair pros pect or attaining that desirable object, and the county of Norfolk would nu longer be the only county that was not blessed with the advantage of a railway commu nication. Great unanimity had prevailed at that meet ing, an d he hoped it was an earnest of the union and gsotl feeling that would exist throughout. If they made a strong pull they must succeed, and it was his opinion, after due consideration, that Mr. Itastrick's line was the one that ought to be adopted, going as it did near Cambridge.--( Hear, hear.) No agricialtural county could possibly raise money enough fur the purpo;es of a line of this nature, and Lhere fore t hey must of collr4t.l o o k to London and other places for the principal part of their funds. There was, however, only one way of inducing the monied interest to render assistance, and that was by taking shares themselves. Let every gentleman who wished to see a railroad to Norwich and Yarmouth established, just calculate upon the advantage he himself would derive from it, say fairly what lie would give to see it accomplished, and then put down his name for that amount of shares.—(Hear, hear.) They would then very soon derive assistaii,a2 from capita ists.—( Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he begged again to return his sincere thanks fur the honour they had done hm, and would be happy to meet any gentlemen who could con veniently attend the meeting to be held next Thursday in Norfolk. In pursuance of the above resolutions a Company was immediately formed, and shares to a large amount taken in the room. EXCISE ON TOBACCO. 7'o 7VHE; ELI TOE OF TILE SUN. consequence of the remov..l of the survey upon tobacco which came into operation on the sth of July, 1840, 1 bq; to oticr to your notice a few remarks from personal experience of the effect such an alteration has, and will have upon the revenue, which that comma. dity has, for some time yielded to this country ; confining my observations inoi . e particularly to the districts of Lan caahlre, Yorkshiro, and the sui - rounding counties. I need scarcely tell you that an allowance of Sibs per cent., was the former law, and that at present the trade is thrown open, leaving rilanufac.urers to make as much weight as they possibly can without any Excise restriction whatever. From the year 1835 to 1840, the trade averaged an in crease of 20 or 23 per cent., disposing of the increase without permit in the best way they could, by evading the rig ilanco. of the stir", ying officers; and at which time s_veial small quantities of smuggled tobacco was offered in this neighbourhood, owing to the difficulty which was ex pc ri,:nced by manufacturers in disposing of their own increased weight. . _ _ Since the removal of the survey, the average of 1001bs. of Kentucky sterns, produces from lbOlbs. to 1601bs. of manufactured tobacco ; I further beg to declare that, Negrohcad, Cavandiali, Dutch, Canaster, foreign Pigtail, end various other illegal qualities, are now selling in the:e districts► .t 2s. 6d. and 2s. Bd. per lb., which never paid any duty whatever : and that smuggled leaf (for the purpose of making cigars,) is transported from one place to anoiher with pc:feet indiErence. I feel confident that such a state of circumstances cannot be known to the Chancellor of Exchequer, yet I assure yi,u Mr. E:iitor, such is the present state of things in this psit of the country; there is not, I am sure, an article of excisable e•marnodity which requires the atten tion of Government mare than tobacco—an article of luxury, and therefore demanding a strict survey, provided the expenses do not exceed the difference collected, which in my opinion would mt be one -twentieth part. The reasons why a saict survey is necessary, cannot be trespassed upon► the columns of a Newspaper ; I must, therefore, close the subject, as. uring you that the last Act of Parliarn , r.t upon this important article has been, and will continue to be. an immense drawback upon the finan- call exigencies of the State. Time wilt show ! S.r, respectfully yours. Manchester, Dec. 31. OBSERVER. NV LSALL ELECTION. DR. BOWRING AND JOHN SMITH, ESQ.,THE NEW CANDIDATES FOP —WALSALL.

EXPULSION OF ANOTHER MA- NUFACTURING PROCESS. Those of our readers who are connected with the cotton tra is are aware, that in order to render cotton yarn fit for the process of weaving, after it has been made into the warp, it is indispensable that it should be boiled, to expel any latent impurity, and afterwards immersed in a solution of the finest flour in a fermented state—a proaess which is called sizing, The foreign merchants have been accustomed to take from this market large quantities of sized warps, ready for the weaver to put into his loom ; but latterly the sizing process has been cut off, the foreign manufacturers having discovered that there was a large saving betwixt the use of the bread taxed flour of this country and the untaxed flour of the Continent. Warps are, therefore, now exported in an unsized state. Thus the English food taxers, after having almost expelled the weaving trade, and given the few remaining hand-loom weavers the boon of dear bread and low wages, and thrown this starved and distressed body of respectable artisans upon the Legislature for compassionate inquiry, have now proceeded to deprive the sizcrs of employment also, leav ing in our hands the present profitless trade of spinning, until they shall become able to take up that also, the only advantages now accruing from this branch of business being the brokerages upon buying and selling, and the profits to our carrying conveyances across the country from the Mer sey to the Humber ; but we must except the u nrighteous and,'perhap4, ttat:sient benefit derived by our monopolizing landowners, in their exactions from, and almost total ab sorptions of, the wages of labour. g a a i v n o u to etrhs the Some idea may be formed of the amount ..... o f manufacturer h e t i• a by t ' , one in avoiding small ina h l e l concer n use Ca Of ouarl alone, which tl fo o l n e r ig , i f ' ro nan m ' t uf he . fact has been established upon the Continent .furthe thus o f sizing English warps, an avowed saving .e has_ bus be en r L h effected of upwards of I,OOOL P t Spinners ! look out ! —Anti-Co.-n.l(ll';ircuiar. 111A.NCHES'rER—DEc. 31.1 200 and3oo nominations e b t u v t v e e d e n o n , and collected POOlt-LAW USIOS --The voting papers for the election Monday, 3 0 e f 8 t G e r u d a , r ) d . i a n s had been sent in, and the number of Guardians to be elected was only 13, there was no serious opposition, the bulk of the respectable rate - papers acceding A v i e t r h e ou d g i h str b i to the recommenda tion f the Churchwardens and Overseers, two comprising gentlemen of all parries.

FRIDAY.- - -Thc Birmingham Chartists a i , az lt e i e n l g el:ated the first day of the new year by making a , demonstration" at Holloway Head, for the purpose of petition to Parliament in favour of Frost. Jones, and Williams. There was a large posse of police in readiness, should their services be required during the day ; and a good many of them were recognised dressed in plain clothes amongst the crowd. There was nothing , however, to Jus tit) the extensive preparations made by the Government Commissioner, who has bad little to do beyond the catch ing of a pickpocket during the last twelve months, and who, doubtless, locked forwa rd w ith no t a little anxiety for an opportunity of displaying his zeal and the utility of the force.
