Soon afterwards I heard groans proceed from beneath one of the carriages, and as I could not render assistance (having a lame arm), I went for medical men. On my return, I found John Brown lying insensible, Burrell with his arm broken, and complaining very heavily of pain in his back ; - "and John Young, Gamble, Wetherell, Batey, and others, who 'were severely injured. Michael Hunter, the fireman of the Nelson engine, was next called, and after being informed that he 'need not answer any question which might criminate himself, gave the following evidence:—There was only one car riage attached to the engine from Shields by the five o'clock train. Matthew Burdis, who was th e engine man that morning, had acted in that capacity four or five months. The Nelson is a coal engine, and it went that morning because of there having been an accident the night before. Burdis was to take this engine up to Brockley Whins. There was a white light in front and a red light behind the train as usual. At Burdon-lane we passed some men working on the line; very shortly afterwards I heard a whistle, and saw another engine close upon us. Burdis instantly shut off the steam, re versed the engine, and then put on the steam to cheek its forward motion. When we saw a collision was in. evitable, we both leaped off, leaving the engine reversed, and the steam on. No sooner had we reached the ground than the Leopard engine, with a tender before it. ran into our tender. Burdis had not time to whistle, he was so fully engaged that he could not do so. Our tender was broken, the engine was broken, and went down to Shields alone. The footboard of the engine, be tween it-and the tender, was broken by the concussion; and I am quite sure, if we had remained upon it,- we should have been crushed to death. Burdis attempted to get on the engine again. He got hold once, but was obliged to let go. No notice was given to the passengers to get out. .The Leopard engine stopped soon after- the shock. Burdis and I went down the line. The first person we met was Wilkinson, the guard, who told us he had jumped off. No. 16,273. LONDON, SATURDAY, MORNING SU N, OCTOBER 12, 1844. PRICE sd.

Prices were reduced to an ex tent which has inflicted a positive loss on the Eng lish grower; and holds out to him a prospect of un remunerative markets during the year. From infor mation received from the best-informed sources, we have reason to believe that the average price of sound wheat for the next ten months will not be higher than 475. At the present rents, and other charges upon land, it is absurd for the landlords to expect that the farmers will be able to pay the rents which are " nominated in the bond ;" or that labourers can be employed on the land in numbers, and at wages, which will ward off suffering and discontent from the agricultural districts. The Government organs may sound the notes of triumph on the " enormous in crease" in the Customs' receipts. Their masters know better than to find satisfaction in a state of things which will, most certainly, produce among their already estranged agricultural supporters additional reasons for denouncing the perfidy of Peel, and for cursing their own folly for trusting in him for " protection." His promises have proved fallacious— not because of any settled purpose he had formed to deceive, but because of the unsoundness of the system on which they were founded. Sir Robert Peel's tin kering of the old sliding-scale, by which he " un settled everything, and settled nothing," has exposed the hollowness of his professions ; and has caused among the farmers a very general desire for a fixed duty, as the only means of giving stability to prices, and thus afford an opportunity of calculating, with something like certainty, the amount of rents they can pay for land ; the items of expense to which they are subject in the process of cultivation ; and the returns upon the capital they invest. At present, the farmers are left to the mercy of cir cumstances which they are less than ever able to foresee or control. While anticipating a fair remuneration for their toil, they are victimised by the operation of the very system to which they were induced to look for an effectual check upon the introduction of the foreign article. So much for the " enormous increase" upon the Customs' revenue, of which the Herald crows!

By a JUror—The passenger trains and empty cosi waggons always go up and down the same line from Brockley Whins to Shields, and the full coal waggons down the other. If an engineman reports to us that Lis engine is leaky, it is our duty to leave the coal waggons, and to take on the passenger trains for him. Edward Currie, a man employed at Mr. Shortridge's glass works, adjoining, and who had been attracted to the spot by hearing a tremendous cry, spoke to finding Brown and Burrell (the two persons dead) lying toge ther under one of the broken carriage, with the wheel pressing upon them. It was with considerable difficulty that they were extricated. When taken out, Brown appeared to be dead.

GLOBB.—The official returns of the National Revenue for the year and quarter, made up to the 10th October (yesterday), will be found in the usual tabular form in another column. The results scarcely Robert P ee l f or hi s i warrant the inordinate praises which the Ministerial journals pour upon Sir skill in finance. The Robert in the Customs department is designated by the Herald as " enormous." Of this increase the " sliding-scale" has the principal merit. That ingenious piece of mis chievous mechanism is as slippery as Sir Robert Peel; and yields to atmospheric influences as certainly as he does to expediency in the adaptation of his scheme of Government to the ever-changing events of the age and nation. The threatening aspect of the Spring months, the long drought which prevailed, and the dis astrous effects upon the growing crops which were ap prehended, gave a stimulus to speculation. Large quantities of wheat were imported, in the expectation that high price would be realised. • The genial change of weather that took place just at the critical moment, and which continued throughout harvest, until the almost unprecedentedly abundant crops were safely housed, was fatal to the hopes of the importer ; and, by a natural operation, also deprived the farmer of the advantages which, under a sound policy, a good harvest would confer on him. To meet his engage ments the importer, who had speculated on the proba bility of a deficient harvest, was compelled to enter large quantities of foreign corn for home consump tion, at 18s. and 19s. duty. This produced an ad vantage to the Exchequer of little less than a million sterling. But this advantage to the na- Lionsl revenue has f e arfully diminished the English grower's legitimate profits. The foreign corn poured into the market at the moment when that of native production was ready to be sent *hither, and large quantities of which were com pelled to be sent and sold, to supply the farmer with pnuacrementS. caused a . , of. To the absence of speculation in corn in the pre ceding year, and to the activity in the speculators in that just closed, must the increase be attributed. The same veritable oracle keeps the deficiency in the Excise upon the quarter wholly out of sight. " The Excise, the index to the comfort of the people, presents also its increase upon the year, 173,8981." But if the Excise be " the index to the comfort of the people," then during the past quarter there must have been a diminution in those comforts ; for in the Excise there has been a falling off in the quar ter's receipts of 5,600/. ; and this upon what is called "the long quarter," which consists of five days more than is assigned to either of the three other quarters of the official financial year. On this decrease, the Times remarks : " A trifling decrease in the Excise on the quarter is to be ascribed rather to growing habits of tem perance in the lower orders, than to any diminution of means. It will bear, in fact, no other construction, for activity reigns in almost all the departments of trade, and the wages of labour in the manufacturing districts have probably doubled in amount within the past year." But if " growing habits of temperance in the lower orders" have induced increased abstinence from ardent spirits, with activity in trade, and increased wages, there would have been an increased consump tion of the real and substantial comforts of life. Tea, sugar, soap, and such like articles, of which the lower orders are the principal consumers, would have been purchased in greater quantities; and thus what had been lost to the revenue by decreased con sumption of ardent spirits, would have been more than compensated by the increase upon the prin cipal articles of consumption we have named. The fact is, that the stimulus given to manufactures by the opening of China to our merchants has somewhat subsided. The manufacturing districts are still the seats of much distress, occasioned by the lack of full employment in some of the staple commo dities. Though in the exhibition afforded by the official tables of revenue there is much cause for gratitude, there is nothing to justify boasting—much less is there anything to warrant the slightest cessa tion from legitimate exertions to obtain that much desired abrogation of the existing restrictions upon commerce, without which the same consequences will be entailed on our manufacturers and merchants, and the same suffering poured out upon our labouring population, which have formerly resulted, at intervals, from an " insane and cruel policy." STANDARD.—The increase in the revenue upon the year, as compared with the year ending October 10, 1843 (itself a year of increase), amounts to the great sum of 1,395,3491. The increase upon the quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, to 520,944/. This, however, is but an inadequate index to the rate of improve ment, for, setting aside the miscellaneous or casual payments (such as the Chinese ransom, &c., 1,375,0001.), for both years, the increase upon the regular constant revenue would be upwards of two millions three hundred thousand pounds sterling. The net revenue of the year amounts to 50,741,622/. ; and of this no less than 20,243,5051. is from the Cus toms—an increase in this department alone of 1,723,165/. since last year; such has been the rapid improvement of foreign trade, such the effect of the re ductions of the tariff. The improvement in the Excise upon the year has not been so great, but it has been con siderable (173,8981.), and on the quarter there has been a trifling decrease, 5,660/. This has been as cribed to the temperance movement, we think, with out reason, for though the happy movement in ques tion may, and probably does, operate generally to prevent an increase in the Excise, there is no ground for supposing that it has been more active in the last than in any of the other three quarters of the year. It is much more natural to account for the trifling decrease in the last three months, by imputing it to the late ness and perhaps deficiency of the barley har l i - vest, which must have seriously affected the malt trade, from which so great a portion of the Excise revenue is derived. The year's increase upon the Stamps amounts to more than 69,000/., upon the Property-tax to 106,413/., upon the Post-office to 82,0001.—such is the state of the Revenue as com pared with last year ; but the just way in which to appreciate the merit of that financial system, of which it is the result, is to compare it with the state of the revenue as the present Ministers found it three years ago. This we may, perhaps, undertake to do here after. length the policy of supporting an independent company' whose object would be the construction of the best line at the least sacrifice of property. It was the interest of an independent company to bring as many passengers to their line as they could, whereas it would be the object of the South-Eastern to bring but few, lest it should de tract from th e i r S urrey and 'Folkstone line, seeing that in the matter of coals and timber they were interested in the double character of carriers and harbour-owners. By the Act they were compelled to charge equal tolls, but the charge for carriage and locomotive power was discretionary, and would tend to give them a monopoly. Mr. Lake concluded, amidst applause, by showing that the interests of the Kentish line were identical with those of Faversham, not only with reference to the tolls on goods, but the general accommodation of the town. After a few observations from Mr. B. DvmE with re ference to what he termed the :unequal charges for the carriage on coal, as compared with the distance travelled on the South-Eastern line, subsequently accounted for by Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Bidder, to the effect that it was owing to the company being obliged, f o r th e conve nience of the Medway navigation and other parties, to bring their engines extra distances, and without reaping adequate remuneration in return. Mr. VICNOLLES, engineer of the North Kent line, ad dressed the meeting. He stated that the groat object of the company he represented was to furnish a direct railway communication between London, Faversham, Ramsgate, Margate, and the Downs, commencing either at London-bridge or the Bricklayers' Arms, mid by the means of the Blackwall line, with whom they were in communication, and so onward through Dartford, Grave send, Stroud, and Rochester, and uniting from thence the arsenals of Chatham and Portsmouth. There would be a first-class station at Faversham, from whence, pass ing by Chatham, the line, after skirting Canterbury, would sweep on to Ramsgate and Margate. The line would be a good engineering locomotive one, and be 'pro sided with a double sat of rails. Mr. J. HILT." in an able speech, advocated an alliance with the South-Eastern as the most advan tageous for Faversham and the important districts of North Kent. lie canvassed at considerable length the statement put forth by Mr. Lake and Mr. Vignolles, contending that the South-Eastern undertaking would best adapt itself to the exigencies of the district; that the circumstance of its repute as an old established line was the best guarantee that they could have of the line being carried out effectively and well—a pledge which at present they could not secure from new and independent companies. A discussion of local interest ensued, in which Mr. Wildman, Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Dyne, and the lion. G. Harris, and others took part, after which, Mr. FEARON, solicitor to the South-Eastern Company, entered into a lengthy and able statement respecting the claims of that company to the consideration of the inha bitants of North Kent. He commented on the anony pmroinntsscroemspmecutniniczatitohnes w s o h u i c t had -Eastern t ern appeared Company,in the public a nd de scribed them as false and incorrect. If it could be proved that the company he represented charged for tolls (and he denied that they did) unfairly, an immedi ate remedy was at hand, by either an application to the Queen's Bench or the Board of Trade. The Directors of the South-Eastern had not the most distant idea of fostering the trade of Folkstone to the sacrifice of that of Faversham. On the contrary, they wished to place both upon an equal footing. After explainin. , the sys tem of charging adopted on t h e li ne, Mr. Fearon said that the assertion that the connection of Faversham with the South-Eastern project would be only favouring a great monopoly, was absurd. If it were a monopoly, how came it that the South-Eastern was the first line in the kingdom that had come to the resolution of adopting the low fare system ? and that the question with the board even now was not whether they should raise, but reduce them still lower ? What guarantee from the other companies would the people of North Kent have equal to that of the South-Eastern, supposinganother panic should arise in the money market consequent upon the scarcity of money ? The South-Eastern were in a position to com mand the capital for constructing the cheaper line, and also to work it most economically, seeing that they al ready had in play a large locomotive establishment and staff, which in the other cases would have to be called into existence, and, instead of charging 31d. per passen ger per mile, which they were empowered to do by their Act of Incorporation, they were now only charging lid. per mile for first and second-class passengers, and seven eighths of a Id. for third-class passengers, exclusive of a considerable distance, which, owing to the circumstances of.the line at some points, they left altogether out of the fares, carrying passengers over it gratis—a system of policy intended to be adopted by the company in any of their subsequent extensions. After quoting the opinions of Mr. Gladstone, the President of the Board of Trade, on the subject of competing lines, and enforcing his own argument by a citation from the evidence of Mr. Laing before a Committee of the House, to the effect that mo nopoly would be worse in the hands of two companies than if wielded by one,_ Mr. Fearo n s t a t e d, t h at a l though the advocates of the Kentish line proposed to go from Croydon to Hungerford-bridge for 500,000/., including stations, and through a most expensive part of the me tropolis, it could not be accomplished for double that sum, seeing that the London-bridge station alone had g cost r tle joint a i l remarks, companies 0 0 mrF e 4 a r s on , 0/. concluded Af t e somer a m dl further ud p plause. Mr BIDDER then explained that the route proposed by the South -Eastern would commence at the.iunction with the Croydon at the Bricklayers' Arms, runnine. through Greenwich, Lewisham, Eltham, Dartford, dlavesend, along the quays to Rochester, crossing the Medway to Milton, Sittingbourne, on to Faversham, where there would be a depot and a first-class station, and then on to the junction with the Canterbury, Ramsgate, and. Mar gate. He urged in forcible terms upon the meeting not to throw away the certainty of having a good and ser viceable line constructed for them within twelve months from the passing of the Act, for that which at present they must view as an uncertainty, so far as the other lines were concerned, who would in the event of a change in the money market be placed in an awkward dilemma, who had to establish their share register, and to contend with the difficulty of what were technically termed calls. which would probably never be responded to. After considerable discussion (in which Sir J. Tylden protested against support being given to the South- Eastern Company) upon the principle that monopoly should not be encouraged, Mr. 'TILTON moved a substantive resolution, to the effect that the line proposed by the South-Eastern be approved as best adapted to the district ; followed by an amendment proposed by Mr. Sharpe, and seconded, that the meeting was not in a position to declare the South-Eastern line to be the one best suited to the in terests of Faversham and its neighbourhood. The MAYOR, on a show of hands, declared the amend ment to be carried, an announcement which was received with applause and confusion, Mr. Hilton demanding a poll, and protesting against the votes of several gentle. men, who, though landed proprietors in Kent, were not identified with the interests of Faversham. The result of the poll, which did not close until past five, was de clared, we understand, in favour of Mr. Hilton's resolu tion, affirming the expediency of the South-Eastern project. The result of the day's proceedings leaves the town unpledged to any particular line. A meeting for a similar purpose took place simulta neously at Deal. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. CORONER'S INQUEST. SOUTH SHIELDS, WEDNHSDAY EVENING.—This morn ing an inquest on the body of John Brown, who was killed by the collision on the Brandling Junction Rail way yesterday morning, was held at the Adam and Eve public-house, in Laygate-street, before Mr. Favell, coroner, and a respectable jury, of' which Mr. Mather (the gentleman who drew up the South Skields Report on Alining Accidents) was foreman. The room was crowded during the day, and great interest excited by the proceedings. The CORONER stated that Joseph Burrell, a person in jured by the collision, died yesterday evening. He should only at present hold the inquest on Brown, leaving whether he should hereafter hold an inquest on Burrell to be determined by circumstances. Mr. henry Plews, one of the Directors of the Com pany, Mr. Henry Newton, the solicitor, and other officers were present to witch the proceedings. The following is the principal evidence adduced : Mr. John Reid—l live at Shields, and am a butcher there. Yesterday I proceeded by the fire o'clock train from South Shields to Gateshead. There were two car riages, and I was seated in the one farthest from the engine. When we got a little beyond Burdon-lane, I felt a shock, and heard the engine stopped for a few seconds—the train moved back. I looked out, when Seeing there was no driver on the engine, I leaped Ott' in the same direction as the train was proceeding. WYhen I leaped out, the train would be at a speed of fifty m iles unhurt.an hottr. i t a l d re n e o o ti t e l e ier b p ee e n rs , o , n iv s e l n e , ap th e( e l u the collision. have escaped immediately afte r po;sts,eanzlersesincaiophe(t h sa me carriage as John Brown, Thomas Gallon—l discovering further cut, but the darkness provente me _ eit ter with a coal the deceased. f i t n er t l e d felt the shock, I looked been told to j um p c w on e t h a a e d t waggonan that a o t r a w and saw some p erson l ou w e I think there was time for us to have saved ourselves. e loc h o a m d o e try e e .lf as slightly stunned by the fall.

I . got outside i mme di ate l y after the shock, a n d stood on thefoot rail until I reached near South Shields station. Joseph Arbey—Yesterday morning I was too late for the five o'clock train, and remained on the platform for some time. On looking up the line I observed a train coming towards Shields almost as rapidly as the wind. There were some empty carriages standing on the line at the station. and the train Ralph Donkin—l was engine -driver of the Leopard yesterday morning, at the time of the accident. l&fr. Bell, the out-door foreman of the engine department, told me on Monday night it was more than likely I should be wanted - to take up the butchers' train in the morning. About a quarter before four o'clock one of the night watch called me up, and when I went to the shed at Gateshead, he told me I was to go and bring the butchers at half-past five o'clock. I told him it was five o'clock, and prepared to start at that ho►fr. In answer to my in quiry, the night-watch told me there was not an engine at Shields. In taking in coke and water, some unusual dytention took place, the coke having been upset, and there being a short supply of water. On the road to Shields, when on the curve near Burdon-lane End, I observed another train coming. I instantly shut off the steam, reversed the engine, put on the steam to force it back, and got on the break. When I saw it was sure to strike us, I shut off the steam again, and,- with the fireman, leaped off. The Leopard struck the Nelson, and then stood still. I afterwards saw the engineman of the Nelson attempting to get upon the engine, but the footboard and hand -rail being broken, he had no chance of doing so. If the passengers had been informed of their danger at the time of the collision, I think they might have got out. I saw the light of the Nelson before I heard its whistle. I did not see the guard at the time of the collision. George Taylor—About half-past seven o'clock on Monday night I told Burdis he had to take the first train on the following morning from Shields to Newcastle. I received this order from William Chapman, a fireman, with Donkin, the engine-driver. I understood him to refer to a passenger train, as Burdis had been for a short time before working passenger trains. I supposed the order had come from Mr. Bell, the foreman of the en gine department, as Chapman came from the repairing shed, at which Mr. Bell may frequently be found. The CORONER said, if the regulations of the company were to the effect that an engine -driver was to receive orders from any person, a plate-layer or a fireman, they were infamous. If there were no such regulations, the conduct of witness in obeying a fireman's orders was ex tremely culpable. Witness—lt is customary for us to pass orders from one to another. The Nelson was employed because one of the passenger engines was in an unfit state for working. W. Chapman, the person above referred to, said he received the directions which he gave to Taylor, from Mr. Bell. He saw Mr. Bell in the engine-room, and Taylor had been himself in there a few minutes before. Taylor. on being recalled, said a coal train, with empty waggons, generally leaves at five o'clock in the morning; but he understood Chapman to speak of the passenger train. Mr. tell said—On Monday night I directed Chapman to tell Taylor to inform Burdin he was to come away with '° his own train" at five o'clock in the morning— the train referred to, is a train of empty waggons, which usually comes up. On the night before I told Donkin he would hare to go to Shields to bring the butchers' train, and the night-watch that he was to call Donkin, en that he might leave the station at four o'clock, and be at Shields at half-past four o'clock. I have generally sent instructions in this manner, when I could not go to the persons , myself. I should have had to have gone to Shields to see Burdin, and I could not leave, as I had to attend to supplying the engines with water. my day's work is generally from half-past five in the morning till twelve at night—sometimes later, By a Juror—r never send written orders. If I bad been there in the morning, I should have ordered him to wait at Brockley Whins until the five o'eloek train came up. We have no telegraph on the line. Mr. William Coward, surgeon, was called upon at five o'clock to attend the parties injured at the railway sta tion. He found John Brown bleeding profusely from the nose and left ear, and from the left hand, which MIS lacerated. He died four hours afterwards, and was never sensible. To-day lie had made a post mortem examina tion, and found the cause of death was an extensive fracture o the skull. Mr. Allport, the superintendent of the railway, pro duced a list of persons seriously injured:—Joha Brown and Joseph Burrell (since dead), John Young, William IVeatherill, George Gamble, Thomas Batey, William Greenwell, John Dorthwaite, John Tindall, John Wil kinson, guard, and Anthony Brown. There were other rersons slightly injured. At half-past eight the examination was proceeding, and it was doubtful whether it would be concluded to. night. Soul% SHIELDS, OCT. 10.—After a minute exami nation of several other witnesses, the jury delivered the followin g verdict :—" That the deceased wa s kill e d b y t h e Nelson locomotive engine propelling a carriage, in which eas the said John Brown, to and against certain other carriages, thereby causing his death, the engine being the property of the Brandling Junction Railway Com pany. Deodand on the engine, 3001." The jury also expressed a strong opinion that the accident was the result of gross negligence and mismanagement of the agents of the Company. Considerable interest was taken in this unfortunate affair. Mr. Alport, the railway manager ; Mr. Flues, director ; and Mr. N ew t on, sol i c i tor for the Company, were in attendance ; and the verdict was received with expressions of satisfaction on behalf of the friends of the sufferers. Burrell, another passenger, has since died of his in juries, and Greenwell, Gamble, and Young, are still in a precarious state. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY. - LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 9.—To -days Numerous meeting of the English shareholders in the Paris and Rouen Railway, convened by the English directors, wa►s held in the Clarendon-rooms, for the purpose of sanction • in; a proposition for making two branch railways, one to Elbceuf and the other to Louviers, and of recommending the mode of raising the necessary funds. ➢ir. John Moss, banker, of Liverpool, occupied the chair, and Mr. Reed, one of the French directors, entered into a long explanatory statement, from which it appeared that, addition to the purposes already named, the directors at the general assembly to be held in Paris on the 30th inst.. propose to agree to a resolution for applying to the Go vernment for a modification of the statute, so that in future thirty shareholders, representing one-tenth of the share capital, shall be sufficient to constitute a legal meeting, and to another for providing one-half the funds for making a communication through the town of Rouen to join the Rouen and Havre Railway. These points were minutely entered into, and it appeared that the in tended branches, as well as the projected junction ot h the Havre line, will return a should The be raised by estimated expenditure is 400,0004 " ; were left to say whether this sum liares.

FAVERSHAM, THURSDAY NIGHT.—To-day a large and respectable meeting of the landowners and residents of Faversham, Sittingbourne, and the adjacent districts, was held at the Town-hall, Faversham, to take into con sideration the various projected lines for supplying Fa versham, Canterbury, - Deal, Margate, Ramsgate, and the coast with railway communication. Mr. James Walker, the Mayor, presided, supported by the Right Hon. G. F. N. Harris, of Belmont ; Ge neral Sir T. G. Montresor, K.C.H., of Ospringe ; Sir John Maxwell Tylden, of Milstead ; General Gosselin, Mr. Bradley Dyne, Gore Court ; Dr. Poore, Mr. B. Wildman, Chilham Castle ; Mr. J. C. Hilton, Mr. Munn, Mr. J. B. Sharpe, Capt. Moore, and other landed proprietors. The following deputa,,wlons were in attendance :—Capt. Tyndale, R.N., Mr. Davis, Mr. Harding, directors ; Mr. Bidder, C.E., Mr. Whitehead, the secretary ; and Mr. Fearon, solicitor, in behalf of the London and Dover (South-Eastern) Company ; Mr. Lake, of Bapchild, in behalf of Col. Landman and Mr. Bastrick, engineers of the proposed Kentish line from London to the Downs ; and Mr. Vignolles, C.E., and others, in behalf of the projected North Kent Company. The meeting commenced at twelve and did not termi nate until five P.M. Mr. LAKE, on the part of the Kentish Railway?, which is proposed to run from London through Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, and Canterbury, to the Downs, opened the proceedings with a long and lucid exposition of the intentions of that company, and of the advantages it would confer upon the Weald of Kent. It would run along the northern side of the county of Kent, passing through one of the richest districts in England, communicating with several watering-places of great resort, besides embracing the chief Government depots and barracks, at Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Can terbury, and Deal, accommodating a population of up wards of 200,000. A large traffic was anticipated i n l hops, fruit, coals, sheep, fish, and articles of gener al merchandise. The South-Eastern being f o rmedte a s C na communication between London, Dover , a nd enter the county tinent, did not for the first thirty m ile s of Kent, to which extent t h e p rop osed line could not bo considered a competing on e, andleaving it to be fairly asserted that it did not accommodate the traffic between Canterbury and London, or the other populous districts of Kent, with the exception of Dover, Folkstone, Sand gate, and Hythe. A large revenue would be secured to the proposed line from the river traffic, in addition to which it was proposed to extend the line so as to obtain a west-end terminus, so as to unite with the South-Western at Hungerford-bridge, proceeding by Greenwich, New Cross, Peckham, Camberwell, Kennington, and Lam beth, and furnishing an uninterrupted route of 130 miles from Pflgt to wN.t lkfp T mot. et,— ..—_ _ INTERESTING TO LADIES.
