This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great ; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avove averag e value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fi sheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea- weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. • Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in olos..ness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One 'of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which , is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and Laney : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. - The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above 100,000 passengers having been landed at its Porte during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so email as to render the Island most advantageous as a per. manent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Looal Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel. The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with touch care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re turn a g ood Dividend upon the Invested Capital. The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum. Goods, Minerals, Fish, & c.. 6 ,500 Parcels and Mails £13,150 Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent. 6,600 Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St::nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament; Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders Dividends, can not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, furnish Rolling Stook for working the Line, and Telegraphs, upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount paid upon shares. An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years. Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it has not been introduced tor the business of the Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and though the pspulation has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary q iantity ot sup plies —yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenty millions per annum, is left in the hands ot a few private firms. The Albion Bank fs introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an air in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Catt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in the agricult Tal districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be trans acted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a kno pledge that the method in which de Wags are carried on at the Cattle-market °institute 3 the bank, the de po,itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the producer. The Directors have entered into provisional arrangements by which the advantage of a mmencing up an en e•tabl shed connexion, under competent and experienc d mana , geme. t, will be secured to Shareholders fr , m the commence ment of busint as, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they Nig 1 be enabled to dealare a dividend during the first v ear. Should no al otment take plac 3 the deposits will be returned in full. ShouJel a less number of Shares be a 1 tted than are applied for, the deposit w.ll be mule available towards the p •yment on llotment . , and the ba ance, if any, returned to t he applic int.

In Liverpool—The Washington Hotel. PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore. that first-rate Hotel accommoda tion is not only desirable, hut absolutely necessary ; and t, supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted un on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 8,000 tons of ice. Thee are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their 'position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The wells, which are included in toe purchase, are now full , a nd from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre mi. es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over -estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. 'there will be no promotion money, and the preliminary e xpenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to aq applicant, the deposit wi 1 be retnrned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotte t than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wiil be cre dited towards the payment on allotment.

The birthday of George Washington, slaveholder, and (until he became successful) a rebel, was yester day celebrated by 20 millions of people, who affeet to hate both slaveholding and rebellion with vtru lence to which history offers few parallels. Were 'Washington now alive, holding the principle for which he fought and conquered in his own day, he would either sit in the seat of Jefferson Davis or be among the most trusted of hie councillors; but the North, forgetting principle in passion, honours his memory, and departs from his teaching. So greatly have times changed since the compare tively recent day in which he was a power among his fellows that ho has almost become as mythical as Ulysses or Achilles—a name for boys to revere, for girls to dream of, and for philosophers to theorise and be learned upon, but of no more practical account, either by his example or his precept, in the govern• ancn of the Republic which he founded than if he had been dead 3,000 years. He declared that go vernment reposed upon the consent of the governed, and to prove the contrary the Federal Americans have taken up arms to coerceeight millions of people of their own race and lineage and the greater por tion of four millions of negroes. He warned them against sectionalism as the greatest of all the dangers against which the young Republic should be on its guard, and they became sectional until sec tionalism—as he foresaw it would—ripened and expanded into war. Ho dwelt upon the neces sity of wise compromise as the only stable foun dation of constitutional liberty, and they refused to listen to compromise until compromise became impossible. Forgetting all his counsels, all his principles, all the objects for which he made him ' ~elf a name for ever, they have deluged his na tive Virginia with the blood of a hundred thousand of their own and as many of the opposing people, carried fire and sword through that once lovely land, laid up a store of misery and indebtedness to afflict countless gen:rations, parted with liberty for the sake of "glory," and gained not even the glory and the dominion for which they perilled so much—nothing, in tact, as yet, but a vague half consciousness that all their sacrifices have been in vain, and that as Washington was so will Jefferson Davis be hereafter. But if Washington's principles Ue forgotten, his birthday is remembered. Yester day guns fired, banners waved, illuminations and rockets reddened the midnight sky, balls and other festivities enlivened the hearts of the young and fair, while older and soberer persons took pleasure in that indigenous species of oratory known as "highfalutin," in commemoration of the glorious annicers:ry. To-day all is over, and W.ishington's name is laid on the shelf until the 4th of July, when, if all be well, it will be taken down again to ed..- brate a successful rebellion against England, and to point the moral of an old revolution without tl:rowing any light upon the principles and pisiion of the new. Among the promises made for the day were two which were not fulfilled—the one, a nu es Proclama tion of Universal Emancipation; the other, the great inaugural meeting in the city of New York, under the auspices of the Lincoln Union League, for the advocacy of Mr. Lincoln's claim to re-election. Per haps the first, if ready, has, for reasons best known to Mr. Lincoln, been postponed to a more appro priate season; the second has undoubtedly been postponed because of the almost total want of sym pathy in its objects which exists among the people of the metropolis. Even the Tribune, which made him, has formally declined to support hint for a second term. Though Gen. Butler is spoken of, and he and the North are worthy of each other, he is scarcely to bo considered a popular favourite. That honour has been reserved for Gen. M'Clellan. His name is always received with shouts of applause whenever publicly mentioned. The soldiers when he appears among them, as he did for the first time last Saturday, receive him with a furore of delight, which proves that his enforced retirement has not I diminished his popularity among his comrades. His official report to the Secretary of War on the organi sation of the army of the Potomac and its campaigns in Virginia and Maryland has just been published. Congress ordered 10,000 copies to be printed for the use of members, but, lest the document should be too extensively used as an electioneering manifesto, it reduced the number to 5,000. But this little circumstance only increased the public anxiety to read the report. It has been reprinted piecemeal in hundreds of newspapers all over the country, besides being re-issued in book form by a score of Publishers. The General stood high before in the estimation of the Democratic party, as well as of that largo non-partisan class whose only bond of poli ical cohesion is their timidity and dread of violent revolution. Ills report has strengthened the confidence reposed in him by both, and will, in the event of a Presidential election under the old forms vvhieh is not by any means so certain as it ought to be—procure for him many hundred thousand votes which he might not otherwise havo secured. But far more important than the movements of the General's friends is the step just taken in the interest of Mr. Chase. Cautious, solid, steady, always going forward without appearing to move, and never drawing back, Mr. Chase bides his time. Ile says nothing, but does a great deal, and cleverly allowing Mr. Lincoln by the exercise of the war power vested in hizr. as Commander-in-Chief to fill up the gaps left in the Senate and the House of Repre sentatives by the session of the Southern States, he seems to calculate that the two cunning engineer may be hoisted with his own petard, and that if the ultimate decision of the Presidential contest bo thrown into the house of Representatives, the votes thus created may be given for Chase, and not for Lincoln. His friends—and he is a man whose purity of life, independence of character, and range of intellect would always secure him many, even if' he had not high power and the power of putting his favourites on the road to fortune to add to the number—have finally come forward with a laboured statement in his behalf, in the shape of a circular or manifesto, ostensibly addressed to the whole people, but intended for the chiefs as well as the rank and file of the Republican party. It is signed by Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, on behalf of the National Executive Committee, and when,yesterday morning, published for the first time created a marked sensation in thin city ;Is well as in Wish ington. To-day it has led to two reports—one that it is a fabrication, and the concoction of an enemy; and the other, based upon its authenticity, that Mr. Lincoln will either yield his own claims to those of Mr. Chase or dismiss him from the Secretaryship of the Treasury. The document is generally believed to be genuine. It states that this movement on the part of lie friends of the Union who differ from the Policy of the Government has been rendered neces sary by the prior movement made to secure the 7- nomination of Mr. Lincoln ; that were there-election ,! Mr, Lincoln desirable, i.t woe )ri impracticehle PR1CE...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. against the union of influences whictl will be brought to bear in opposition to him ; that his character as a temporiser and man of shifts and expedients has tended to prolong the war during his first term, and would tend still more injuriously to prolong it during a second ; that the patronage of the Govern ment had been so rapidly and enormously increased, and so loosely placed under his management, as to render the application of the one term prin6pLe essential to the safety of the R-public ; that in Mr. Salmon P. Chase are united more of the qudlities of a good President than ate to be found in any ether available candidate ; that his record is cleat and unimpeachable; that he is a statesman of rare ability and a❑ administrator of the very highest order; that the discussion of his fitness for the office has developed an amount of popularity and strength in his favour which has astonished his warmest admirers; and that, all things considered, nothing but systematic and faithful effort on the part of his friends and supporters is necessary to overcome all possible obstacles to his election. It is no wonder that Mr. Lincoln's friends should feel scandalised at such a protuncianziento, and that the most indis creet among them should call for the dismissal of the Secretary unless he will publicly disavow the proceedings thus commenced in his name. In any other country Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Chase could not conveniently meet at the same table for the trans action of public business, and the chief, for his own comfort's sake, if not for that of his dignity, would be compelled to dismiss his too ambitious subordi nate and look out for another Minister. But it is probable that Mr. Lincoln, rather than encounter the peril of a break-up in his Cabinet, will submit, with his characteristic good humour, to the slight put upon him, and if he be really anxious for the very dangerous honours and patronage of a second term, that ho will trust to the agencies, civil and military, legal and financial, which ere still and will be for a twelvemonth in his grasp to set aside, un dermine, and otherwise defeat the schemes of an ad versary, who, however formidable he may be, will be less formidable in proportion to the number of candidates that may yet be brought forward. With three Republicans in the field—himself, Gen. Fre mont, and Mr. Chase—and only ono Democrat, with the chance of at least two more in the persons of Generals Butler and Banks, the President may, perhaps, be able to play a game that shall checkmate Mr. Chase, even if the operation should lead to the election of Gen. M'Clellan. Meanwhile, Mr. Chase is too powerful to be lightly interfered with. The Chas:, manifesto, however, has already had one result which its framers did not anticipate. It has virtually defer.ted a measure which has for the last week been under discussion in the House of Representatives, and the object of which was to authorise the Secretary of the Treasury to enter the gold-market whenever he pleased and sell his sur plus gold. In face of his enormous issues of paper, gold, as obstinate in following its own laws as water, that trill find its level, persisted in standing at a premium of nearly 60 per cent. above greenbacks, in spite of all the hopes, wishes, and efforts of Mr. Chase to bring it down to 25. It has long been suspected and asserted that Mr. Chase occasionally exercised to the extent of a few millions the power scught to be conferred upon him by Congress ; but, however the truth may be in this respect, it was deemed advisable that a privilege so important should be legally conferred upon him. The measure was accordingly introduced into the House of Re presentatives. Its supporters contendrd that the premium on gold was maintained by the nefarious arts of gtimblers and speculators; that such gam bling was immoral and unpatriotic ; that the depre preciation of the 'Piper currency thereby expedited and mainta.ned W:!el trvasnuable, inasmuch es it gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and that whenever Slr. Chase had a surplus of gold derived from the Customs duties above the sums required for the payment of the interest on the national debt, he should be allowed in the public betrilf to sell it in open market. It was further ❑rged that the know ledge that Mr. Chase had such a power in hia hands and could at any moment exercise it would tend to depress speculation and keep gold at e moderate premium. The objections to these argu ments were many and cogent. The power thus vested in the Secretary would be too much for ordinary honesty to be proof against ; he would ho virtusily the despot of prices and arbiter of every man's fortunes ; he would be enabled by a hint of his intentions to put unearned millions into the hands of his friends, relatives, and supporters ; and, more than all, he might, if privileged to be seller of gold, sell too much of the commodity, and perhaps find himself by a falling off in the Customs duties or some other cause, compelled to buy back what he had sold, or break faith with the public creditor,—a condition of affairs which would infal libly send up the premium to %far higher rate than Int from which he might have reduced it by his unwise interrneddling. These arguments had the effect anticipated, and decided the Committee of Ways and Means to report against the proposition. It was still thought,howover, up to yesterday morn ing, when Senator Pomeroy's circular appeared, hat means would be found to sccuro the hill a new hearing. But that document immediately altered the state of affairs. All the friends of Mr. Lincoln, of General Fremont, and of General M'Clellan took the alarm lest powers so mighty as these should be employed in promoting the electioneering canvass of the Secretary. As these three sections, composed as they are, not alone of the Republican and Demo cratic, but of the nondescript parties, form at least three-fourths if not nine-tenths of the House, the measure is doomed, and gold and greenbacks will be left to the operation of natural causes, to find their value untampered with by any greater gambler or financier than such as congregate in Wall-street and William street, and make day hideous with the uproar of their trade. The recent news from Europe has been received with unmitigated delight by that amiable section of ho people of this country who hate Great Britain as brdently as they love the Union, and to please whom Mr. Seward threatened to hold the British Government responsible for all the damage inflicted upon American commerce by the Alabama and the Florida. They rejoice that the Danes and the Germans have come to blows and indulge ;n a romantic, but possibly baseless, vision of a general European war as the immediate consequence. Crowns are to be melted up for old metal ; the purple robes of Kings and Emperors are to be trailed through the gutter ; thrones are to be con- verted into material for bonfires; th© old nation- alities of Ireland, Poland, and Hungary, but not of the Heptarchy, are to be restored ; Republic insti tutions are everywhere to bo established; and such a din of battle is to bo kept up for the next 20 years in the Old World, that America is to be Loft to its own devices, without danger of foreign interven tion, and, more agreeable than all, Great Britain is inevitably to be dragged into hostilities with one or more of the great Powers of the Continent, i n which event Federal capita lists and shi p b uilders no. e verybe sea and ocean human," say s are to fit out privateers f or the foes of En glund and sweep British commercefromWe esiould of the globe. one of these sweet-tempered observers of European politics, " if we did not feel some little satisfaction at the prospect. As soon as Ergland is at war we shall commence building vessels for the Emperor of Chine, and the English fish will be driven from every sea, as ours has been." 'l'he spite of this writer blinds him, and the class to whom he appeals, to many little facts that ought to bo tr.ken into the account before England or the world can accept his conclusions as positive certainties.

Anxious, ther;„ to do : justice. to Louis Napoleon's abilities, we must admit, atom deducting the ad vantages he poss?ssed in bett,er troops, butter wea pons, more experienced generals, and irresponsible authority, that he showed remarkable talent for conducting military operations. His movements were far from rapid, but they were very complete. His orderly and careful advance on the morning of the 24th July, so different from the straggling array of the Austrians, was a main cause of the victory of Solferino. And, setting aside the po licy of the flank march to the Ticino, the march itself, though not faultless, was reason ably well conducted, while the preliminary feikat and movement across the Po were excel lently arranged. He showed, too, a right judg ment in directing the moss of his force against Sol ferino. All these feats were surprising in a man who not only then first held a command, but who then first saw war, and who began his military career with directing two great armies. Nevertheless, we think the march to Magenta fatal to his character for generalship. We grant that at any phase of that movement, except when his army was astride the Ticino, he had a reasonable chance of assembling sufficient forces upon any point that Giulay might attack, to have a fair prospect of victory. But a gambler who should wager a hundred to one on au even chance would in , as likely to win as to lose ; yet, if he did lose, his stake would be enormous com pared with his possible gain. And this was the case with the fiaak march; it was showy, unexpected, and therefore praised as brilliant ; but it was ex tremely perilous, and all the danger was run with out the prospect of a corresponding success. Nothing bat the fighting of his troops, and the friendly aid of that emissary from the Austrian Emperor to Giulay, extricated hire from a position that might easily have been absolutely fatal. Neither was he forced into this dangerous course ; on the contrary, by moving on Mortara he would gain all that the flank march could possibly give him, and without risking his communications. We believe, then that the solo reason for incurring the danger was the hope of evading a battle. This is a very grave de fect in the character of a commander, who, though he should, of course, be properly careful of the lives of his troops, should never hesitate to gain an ade.. quate advantage by fighting for it. But it is a e minion thing to see generals, though regardless of their personal safety, yet nervously alive to the risk of engaging. Subsequent events seem to con• firm this view of the Emperor's character. On the tith Juno ho hesitated, though with superior num bers and in face of a beaten enemy, to renew the contest, or to pursue. li© cqually failed to "ollow the retiring foe from Solferino ; and, lastly, when another great pitched battle was imminent, he made his overtures for peace, forgetting alike his own proclaimed intention and the interests of his ally. Should he, then, take the field in another war, we s'amild expect that his combinations would be well calculated, hil movements methodical and accurate; but we should doubt the resolution, not of the man, but of the general, arid we should ex pect thnt, opposed to a skilful and resolute (Aver- eery, prompt arid ready to fight, he might play fur a high stake anti lase it.—Blacl.•wood. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NOItTnANIPTON, March 8. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Mr. Justice Crompton came from Leicester yesterday. Theease that hes of late excited so much attention hag gone off. It was a charge of wilful murder against William Weekly Ball, n man 47 years of age, and described as a but char. Mr. Sergeant Tozer, Mr. Douglas Brown, and tho Ron. G. C. Vernon appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe fur the prisoner. In the year ISSO the deceased and supposed murdered woman, Lydia Alley, was living at the village of Ring stead, in this county, where also resided the prisoner; For some time en adulterous intercourse lied been carried on between them, the prisoner being a married man, and in July of the year above mentioned the woman was near her confinement. On the 22d of the month she was last soon alive at about 9 at night, in company with the prisoner. They were heard talking in his orchard, the witnesses who beard the talk saying that she was refusing to charge any eke else with being the father of the child. Shortly after groans were heard proceeding from the direction where the talking had been going on, but no one seems to have at tempted any interference, or to have attached importance to the circumstance. As we have before said, from that mo ment she was never again seen alive. Search was made, but in a few days a letter arrived in the village from a man at Northampton, saying that he had seen her walking with a man in that town a day or two after the 22d July. This being made public had the effect of to some extent lulling the suspicion of the villagers, and ultimately, although there was a very strong feeling that there had been foul play, the matter was at rest. I n the meantime the prisoner removed to Thrapston, established himself as a butcher, and at the time of his arrest was carrying on a good and thriving trade. So many years had now passed that ho might well have imagined himself safe from any accusation in reference to Lydia Atley; hut in the month of February last some labourers were digging a piece of waste land by the roadside, near the orchard before mentioned, and about 1S inches below the surface they came upon the skeleton of a woman. It was lying face downwards. Tho bones were collected, and on examining the jaw a tooth was missing from the back of the mouth—a remarkable circumstance, for but a few days before she disappeared a labourer, the village dentist, had extracted ono at her request, No sign of any child could be discovered. The man who wrote the letter before mentioned now comes forward and says ho wrote it at the request of tho prisoner, and the story as to seeing the deceased in Northampton was utterly untrue. It will be seen that tho case is still only one of great suspicion for beyond the tooth no further iudentification of the skeleton can be arrived at. It now appears that where the bones were found gipsies have been in th e h a bi t of burying, and, as if further to embarrass th e case f or the in the sam e p i ece of ground, a ,uppoeed remains o f th e woman were found, another skeleton, that o f a man, was found, fie)rwesfeeceuttiboenlo, below a o w t h S e a r t e u t r h d a e y s . and yesterday two more were discovered. These are the shortfacts of the case; and an investigation having taken place before the magistrates, the prisoner was committed for trial. To-day a bill was Prepared for the consideration of the grand jury, but before it was sent to them Mr. Sergeant Tozer stated that he had consulted with the solicitor for the prosecution and the counsel with him in the case, and the result was that, seeing how incomplete the case was at present against the prisoner, he should ask that the recognisances of the witnesses be discharged and no bill prepared. The effect of this would bo that, in the event of any fresh evidence coming to light, the prisoner could again be apprehended. Mr. Justice Crompton thought the course proposed a safe and wise one, and mad an order aecordingly.
