The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, .and of the richest description. - It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its Manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources, of Kish abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the capitalistd. • , The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern .portions :of the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected In the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ily, as it will, at one .of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of 'he kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort — Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester •and South Walei, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. , • • . That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and tlfe manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopted. • • The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication.with the metropolis - at a much loss expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-, chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distanee to be constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, s an increased expenditure 0f200,000/. or 300,0001. judicially applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both-to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of snore importance, to the country' in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. • The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference iu the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription.

FORM OF APPLICATION - FOR SHARES. • These considerations have not been Sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield; but ivhb, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose - the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentarydecision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallei!case;the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overconae;and involving 'a greater outlay, having been `adopted by Parliattrant - in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were, at that time supported in the House by tery influential parties. ' Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the. London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the' surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly -provided for. .• This line also possesses the singplar, advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Mandhester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature preSented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Dideot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth- line; the distance film Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton; Gosport;AndPortshiouth Railway Company. The deviations from fl,perfectiY: straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very alight, and the line iu general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local lkie are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. - The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway 'Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City'of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line.

This Company is •formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad with the advantages of railway communication. 'No part of the Britiih dominions aPpears to present greater natural facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return for the capital required to be invested: From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at the peace of -Amiens, it steadily. advanced until the abolition of slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other colonies, though its production was not diminished in the same pro portion. ' The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, have since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially from the other West India Islands---so that cultivation has been gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports. And, according. to the census lately taken, the population appears to have increased in the same period fifty per cent. As the arrangements now made for encouraging Immigration pro mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is every probability that its production will be progressively aug mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing establishments: and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course he a corresponding Increase of traffic. • . . „ In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the present condition ofTrinidad, and which will yield an immediate re turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension with the advancement of the colony. An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and, although no conclusive arrangement can be made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island, Lord Stanley has intimated that "he is willing to give every en couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that he will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the Local Government." Under this recommendation it is expected that a great part of the land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it Is also confidently be lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course of these lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement. It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous to the railways, will be made in. connexion with their progressiye extension. . . These concessions, while justly merle in consideration of important public advantages, will be of great viklue to the Company, both im mediately and prospectively. As the Company will be able to conduct the transport of produce, and the conveyance of passengers, at one-third, or even one-fourth, of the present expense (which appears to be from three to four shillings per ton per mile), with the additional. advantage of cer tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the existing traffic in the districts which they are to traverse, as well as any increaSe•which may arise. • It appears that a single line, with passing places, sufficient to ac commodate four-fifths of the cultivated parts of the colony, may be constructed for the amount of capital now proposed ; and upon a careful examination of the probable revenue, the Provisional Com mittee are satisfied that it will yield a large return. It is proposed that thd Engineer of the company shall proceed forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adequate number of Sur veyors, for the purpose of surveying the intended lines; and that no plan shall be finally adopted until he makes a detailed report. He will be put in. communication with an influential and intelligent Committee in the colony, who will afford the most cordial co-opera. Hon and support. . . Provision will be made in the Act constituting the Company for limiting the responsibility of the Shareholders to the amount of their respective subscriptions. _ . _ Applications for shares, in the form annexed, and for copies of the prospectus and relative map, to be addressed to the Provisional Com mittee, at the West India Chambers, Old Jewry, on or before Monday, the 6th of Ociober.

BLUNT'S REFORMAI lON IN ENGLAND. In a pocket volume, neatly printed, price 55., bound in cloth, A , SKETCH OF -THE REFORMATION IN ENGLAND. By the Rev. J. J. BLUNT, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge: The Eighth Edition, corrected, forming part of the Family Library. The Reformation is one of the most remarkable events in our his tory, whether considered in relation to politics or religion ; for its influence was most powerful upon both. The reading, profession, and taste of the author have led him to regard it in the latter rather than in the former light ; and, therefore, brief as the sketch is, it will not be found of the nature of an abridgment of larger histories, but a continuous though succinct account of its rise, progress, and consum mation, chiefly considered as a great revolution of the Church of England.

TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY. MANCHESTER, SATURbAr.The first meeting of this Company was held to-day at the TownLail. The meeting was made special, to considet the expediency of empowering the Directors to apply to Par liament in the ensuing session to make arrangements with the North .Stafrordshire Company, also to enable them to make extension lines, Ste. _ _ _ Sh . ortly after ten o'clock Mr. EDWARD TOOTAL, Vice-President of the Board of Directors, took the chair, and expressed the satisfaction it afforded him at being able to congratulate the shareholders on the satisfactory and prosperous state of affairs, and of the prospect before them, amounting to a certainty, of completing a project which would result, not only in large bentfit to the shareholders, but prove most advantageous to the public. CanMrn CLEATHEE, thC Secretary, then read the report of the Directors, which stated that the measures by which the powers and privileges 'of the Company were' conferred, received the.myal. assent in July last ; that the Directors since then had been engaged in com pleting the arrangements for the formal constitution of the Com pany, and an active prosecution of the works upon the line. That a contract had been entered into with Messrs. Brassey, M'Kenzle, and Stephenson, for the formation and completion of the entire line of railway, for public use, for the sum of 611,6191., the Company pro viding rails and chairs, and the contractors being paid extra for such stations and sidings as may hereafter be found necessary. That the Directors had reason to be satisfied as well with the terms of the contract as with the position and character of the parties contract ing. That it was also gratifying to have had, in this important step, the sanction and concurrence "of the London and Birmingham Company, which, under existing , circumstances, was mainly affected. That.the Directors. had been in negotiation with the North Staffordshire Company, with a view to a limited parti cipation by the Trent Company in that undertaking, and that the outline Of an arrangement - had some 'time since been agreed to, whereby this Company became entitled to a share interest to the extent of 300,0001. in the North Staffordshire Company. That the precise mode of effecting this arrangement had not been determined, but that the Directors would ask of this meeting for powers to adjust it in the way which should eventually appear most beneficial. That the Directors had also considered the expediency of snaking a line eastward, but so many competing interests were at present in the field, that they had as yet been unable to determine whether the interests of this Company would be best served by under taking any such extensien, or by leaving the ground to be occupied by other, though, of course, not hostile parties. That the Directors would continue to give their best attention to this subject ; seeking from the Proprietors now a discre tionary power of action, when all the' plans affecting the district should be fully before them. That the shareholders should bear in mind that in proportion to the vigour of action by the con tractors for the work, would be the necessity for early and regular calls for capital ; that it was therefore intended to make a first call of 31. per shame on an early day, and to require its payment not later than the Ist of November next the other calls would follow, the re spective elates and amount of which would be regulated by the neces sities of the company on the one hand, and on the other by the con venience of the shareholders. That under the combined arrrange ment, settled by the deed of arrangement wills the London and Bir mingham Company, the Grand Junction, and the 31anchester and Birmingham Company, and which was embodied in the act of incor poration, the presext Board of Directors retired, and the shareholders should elect nine others, who were to continue in office six months. The SECRETARY next read the engineers' report, which stated in effect that the works were in rapid progress, and that he looked for ward to time speedy completion of the line, &c. The statement of the receipts and disbursments followed, which showed a large balance in hand to the credit of the Company. The reports having been atiopted by the meeting, Messrs William Birkett and John Ridgway were appointed auditors, and Mr. Blake treasurer, and 5001. voted to Mr. Wheeler, their late secretary, as remuneration for his services. Messrs. Edward reel, Henry New bury, and Edward Tootal were elected Directors. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were adopted empowering the Directors to enter into arrangements with the North Staffordshire, and advance 300,0001. capital, and to apply for any ex tensions of the Trent Valley. Thanks, on the motion of the Hon. Colonel ANsoN, seconded by Captain CARNEGIE, were given to the Chairman and Directors for their services. A public dinner was given in the evening to Mr. Edward -Tootal, at which he was: presented with a service of silver plate, as sub stantial testimony from the shareholders a the Trent Valley Company of the estimation in which they held his services in pro rnoting the scheme, and bringing it to a successful issue. The enter tainment took place in the assembly room of the Albion Hotel, and was attended by about 200 gentlemen, amongst whom were Lord Viscount Duncannon, Hon. Col. Anson, M.P. ; Hon. Captain Carnegie, M.P. ' Staffordshire ; the Mayor of Manchester, the Mayor of Salthrd, J. P. Westhead, Esq., &c. The banquet was in every respect a splendid one, Mr. Westhead taking the chair. Mr. ToOTAL, in acknowledging the tribute paid him, spoke of the strenuous opposition that the Trent Valley project met at every step, from the outset to the last moment, despite all which it had at length arrived at a successful issue. The toasts which followed were—" The Mayor and Corporation of Manchester, who had contributed 34,0001. towards public improve ments ; " The Mayor of Salford ;" " The Earl of Winchilsea, and the landowners along the line." To which the llon. Colonel ANSON responded. " The Army and Navy;" which was acknowledged by the lion. Captain CARNEGIE, who spoke in glowing terms of the value that railways had proved in the facilities they afforded for the speedy transit of troops to all parts of the country. THE INCOME-TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Knowing that your columns are always open to the cries of the oppressed, and that you are always ready and willing to render your assistance and to give your advice to such as are sufferers by the conduct of others, I venture to bring . before your notice a case of as great hardship and punishment as can well be accom plished under the Income-tax Act, except the one of Messrs. Fielding, of Todmorden. I have been a small manufacturer of hats in this place for nearly thirty years ; I have always fulfilled my en gagements during that period with punctuality. None of my creditors hare been paid less than twenty shillings to the pound value, as my receipts will prove. I have, with great care, industry, and frugality , raised a small family, and also saved a little against old age. Never did an execution from any of the courts of law enter my house until the Bth instant, when the collector of income tax, with a police officer, entered my warehouse, seized and carried away five pieces of silk plush, of the value of 401 and upwards, and in five days after they sold, by public suction, so much of the silk plush as satisfied their demands for a presumed income-tax upon my trade for the year 1844, ending 1845—not upon a real income, but upon their presumption of my . income for that year. Now, Sir, I did not receive the income. The Com sioners have taxed me for that year ; • e d the weenie, I re sisted the payment. If I had rece iv ed would have paid it on demand. t he Commissioner consequently I I gave r ve as I could come) of an exact account in figures my income for that year. an(aSd I do conceive a great myself knows what my inco me tto we in surcharging me hardship • has been dealt . out . j a i s , nea no person living but ld;by.public auction by men that ought statement; and in having my goods seized, ear -1 r a i b o o d v e a w m a y y, ti,t andsa securing to me just laws, administered I conceive, as great an oppression as anyb to y ß ju r rn o sat teo nm t esan ni i; me by If you consider this case worthy a place in your valuable publication, you are at full liberty to make use of all or any part of the same, as I trust my name and address is a sufficient guarantee of its correctness. Springfield, near Manchester, Sept. 15. (Here follows the name of the writer, with his address.) SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM READING IN BED.—Ofte of those accidents which we have so often to record occurred yester • any morning, shortly after one o'clock, to Mrs. Elizabeth Vernon, a lady of independent fortune residing in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square. For woe considerable time past this lady has been labOur tug under an attack of rheumatism, for which she was in the habit of taking opiates to alleviate the pain, and was accustomed, upon re tiring to rest at night, to lead in bed. About the hour stated the female domestic, who slept in an adjoining room, was awakened by a strong smell of fire, and on proceeding to her mistress's chamber. found the hangings of the bed enveloped in flames, and the unfortu nate lady in a state of insensibility. Assistance was promptly pro cured, and the fire extinguished ; but wt.. • .0 add, that not before Mrs. Vernon, who is an aged lady, was severely, ~;„Thp, no t dangerously burnt. THE WILL FORGERS.—Ii letter bas'' r been lately received from Barber, in which he states that his health is bad, and that his rations and labour are bad and wretched. He devotes his time to gathering geographical and historical information of the island, and is writing the biography of extraordinary criminals, al though his leisure time is small, as he has to get up to work every morning at four o'clock. He is employed giving instruction to the sons of a clergyman, and is also engaged to conduct the defence of some prisoners who attempted to escape from the boats of the ship Agincourt, by suddenly seizing the guards and throwing them over board. Speoking of his fellow convict Fletcher, he says :—" He is execrated by all, save the few extreme wretches who welcome all as friends who are like themselves. There is not one of the free inha bitaiits by whom he is not regarded with abhorrence." Barber still perseveres in his declaration of innocence, and has again Prwarded raemorial Ittr a reraltapa pf punishment. %its. 'Sept. 20 I X 3 7P •- P % P 1% r 3 M P iiipl (Sept. 20.
