The Vanguard is included in this Morse, R., Esq., Princess-street, Great George-street return. First, she is said to have cost only 62,115/. ; whilst Packe, C. Hussey, Esq., Keythorpe Hall, Lincolnshire the Clarence and Thunderer are ' said to have cost f rom Parker, Francis, Esq., Northampton, Director of the South Midland 72,0001. to 76,000/. Now, it will be found, that in the build- Pa ß rl e a ti n ' s v o a n y , John, Esq , Cambridge-terrace, Regent's-park, Director ing of the Vanguard at Pembroke, means were resorted to of the South Midland Railway to keep down the cost, unusual on similar occasions ; Payne, Benjamin, Esq., Leicester, Director of the Direct Birming labourers were employed at 2s. per diem, to do the work ham and Leicester Railway usually performed by shipwrights at 4s. or 4s. 6d. ; and it is Ramsey, J., Esq., Bushey House, Herta well known that the expense and difference in quality of Ra e w e o d rr e , ie J ecter Er elh, L e eicester, Director of the Direct Birmingham materials employed in the construction of the Vanguard Shaw, Joseph, Esq., York-place, Huddersfield, Director of the East were greatly in favour of the constructor's supposed econo- and West of England Junction Railway mical system ; and this ship was built with a view to show the Shaw, George, Esq., M.D., Leicester accuracy of this system. Now, it is a curious fact, that in the Splers, E. 1., Esq,. Director of the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Dockyard returns from the Vanguard, instead of the official Worcestershire Junction Railway document of expenses being signed by all the principal offi- Stone, Nathaniel C.,ngham and Leicester Railway Esq., Rawley-fields, near L e i ces t er , Di rec t or o f cers of the Pembroke- yard, as is customary, it was only signed the Sugar, Hartley, Esq., Ball's Grove, Colne, Director of the Leeds by one of them, and that one a partisan of the surveyor. It arid Carlisle, and the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railways was actually , proved, that instead of this ship being built at a Threefall, Edward, Esq., Regent Road Mills, Manchester, Director of less cost than the Clarence, she virtually cost 5,0001. more. the Eastern Counties Junction and Southend Railway We come now to the return in this precious Parliamentary Tibbutt, Thomas, Esq., Rusholm, Manchester, Director of the document relative to her flotation. By this we find, at page 3, Rugby fi W illiam tlierali, le'lh3olffi'llase,hesegter,iandeer Leeds and Carlisle Railways that the draught of water by construction drawing is to be 23 Ws, E. 33 Esq., 70, of the London and York Railway ~ sq.„ Portland-place, Director of the Leeds feet forward, and 24 feet abaft, with a height of midship port and Liverpool, Leicester and Tamworth Railways. of 7 feet; and in page 2 we find, by return from Spithead, BANKERS. she swam 23 feet 7 inches, and 21 feet 5 inches, stored for 12 Messrs. Rogers, Olding, an.l Co., Clement's-lane, London months, having a midship port of 7 feet 1 inch. Here, then, Messrs. Garin, Clapon, and Co., Boston the ship swam 7 inches deeper forward, and 5 inches deeper Messrs. Kewney and King, G ran th am Pare's Leicestershire Banking Comp an y, L e i cester and • Melton abaft ; notwithstanding which, her midship port is actually , Mowbray. one inch higher. Oh, wonderful ship ! Oh, heavenly con structors ! We ne'er may look upon your like again. So much for the Vanguard. Come we now to Superb. The Superb was built at Pem broke in 1842 ; and, not content with the most perfect of all perfect ships, her predecessor the Vanguard, her constructors made a considerable alteration in the form of the stem, by which her buoyancy was increased forward, without any corresponding alteration in the after body—of course down she went by the stern, as might have been anticipated. On fitting out this ship at Plymouth, in November, 1843, under Captain Cory, she was found very deficient in displace ment, and would not take her stores to the draught of water intended—so much so, that it was found requisite to put on an additional quantity of copper; she was docked previously to fitting out, and then sent round to Portsmouth to join the experimental fleet. On arriving at Portsmouth, however, she was ordered, from some unknown crotchet of the surveyor's department, to be docked again, and very great pains were taken to prepare her for the -forth coming trials. She went to sea under very hopeful expectations, and she returned to Plymouth Sound, ac knowledged to have sailed even worse than the Vanguard. An order is now sent, dated September 23, to put her on the same low diet as Vanguard, and bring her to the light jockey trim—a plain admission of her incapacity as a deep ship; but no sooner is this effected, than she is withdrawn from the fleet and sent to Portsmouth to be again taken into dock and stowed under the express directions of the sur veyor. Can anything be more absurd or monstrous than such a state of things? Here are two ships, supposed to be the ,finest in the world, which are only to be sailed by . certain persons, at a certain draught of water, and which require such a delicate trim, that to destroy their sailing, it is only requi site to fit them for general service. There is not upon the records of the Admiralty, we will venture to say, an instance of a ship docked three times within 10 months merely for ex perimental sailing. It was alleged, in explanation of the bad sailing of the Superb, that.the copper on the bottom was foul, and some weeds were exhibited brought up by an apparatus put under the ship ; but with how little reason this excuse for docking the ship can be maintained, we leave our readers to judge, from the following extract from a morning paper of Thursday last, and which we suppose would not have appeared without sufficient authority : " The Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Cory, went into Ports mouth Harbour on Tuesday, and into dock all standing yes terday. Her men are hulked on board the Victorious; her copper was perfectly clean and in excellent order, not a wrinkle or swell to be seen, it having been only flattened down about sixteen weeks back. So soon as the water was clear from the dock men were set on to rip off the copper. She will be fresh caulked and coppered. What ether process she will undergo we cannot tell, but it is understood the shipwrights and caulkers are to work early and late to get her ready to come out of dock to-morrow. The officers be longing to her do not know auy reason for this ship coming into dock. She did not leak, her copper was clean and nearly new." Had the Trafalgar been taken into dock, we should not have been surprised, because the copper f that ship was very much covered with weed, as is well known, and she had not, previously to the cruise, had the advantage of recent docking, common to all the . other ships of the squa dron. These operations on the productions of the inspired school of shipbuilding requisite to their perfect success, may be considered very trifling ; but they are, at the same time, very costly. _ ENGINZER—C.

SEcitErAux—George Farrer, Esq. The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the Important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at ,the snap will show that this line is well laid ont, not only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will ue brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. _ _ By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or near Swinlshead, Doniugton, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Rock ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o great convenience and utility - , by affording to a part of the country at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharelarokers, from whom prospectuses and plans may be obtained : Messrs Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange Messrs.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDBXT.—KIRKCUDBRIGHT, OCT. 4.—A melancholy loss of life occurred here on the night of Tues day, or early on the morning of Wednesday last. Robert Cun. ninghatn, of Linkens, occupying the farm of Nether Boreland, off the town of Kirkcudbright, having been in the parish of Borgue in the course of, Tuesday, taking sheep to grass parks there, took his seat in Forrest's coach, from Newten-Stewart, about Barber row, in Bourge. On the coach crossing the ferry at Kirkcud bright, he was requested to keep his seat, but he declined, came off the coach, saying—" No, no; I don't wish to be drowned in a coach (alluding to a recent accident which occurred at the ferry); when lam drowned, I shall be drowned on my feet." He crossed the ferry, went to the inn at which the coach stopped, paid his fare, and, in company with a friend, walked out of town as far as the Millburn on his way home, when his friend parted with him, and bade him good night. This might be about 10 o'clock. There are reasons for believing that he was seen about an hour later by Robert Hannah, the post runner from Tarff-bridge, about half a mile out of town, at 11 o'clock ; but from this hour no further trace of him cambe had till about half-past five on Wednesday morning, when his body was found lying in the dock at Kirkiud. bright, on its back on the sand, the tide having receded from the spot two hours at least before the body was found. We under. stand that as soon as the accident was known, the superintendent of police instituted an investigation into the circumstances of the case, and requested Dr. Shand to examine the body, who reported that death must have been occasioned by drowning, there being no external marks of his having sustained any injury. From further inquiries it has been ascertained that cries of a shrill and urgent nature were heard in the direction of the dock, about twenty minutes before two o'clock, at which time it is supposed the gen tleman, unfortunately, under the impression that he had left his horse at Castlesod, retraced his steps to Kirkcudbright, with the view of re-crossing the ferry, and the night being very dark, missed his way, and stepped over the quay, which is quite unprotected, and fell into the dock. The accident is more to be regretted, that it might have been prevented had our municipal authorities taken the necessary and called-for precaution of putting a fence-chain round the dock—a precaution more especially called for, as the dock is right in the way of the ferry-boat, which is in demand at all hours of time, night as well as day. We only hope that this accident, with the previous one already referred to, will induce the authorities to adopt Immediate measures, both as regards the dock and the ferry, to secure the safety of the public to an extent which has net hitherto been obtained, however loudly called for. — Dumfries Courier. THE THOROUGHFARE-PHOBIA.—A new disease has within the last few months become very prevalent in the metro polis : and as no name has yet been given to it, we honour it with the appellation of the Thoroughfare.phobia. It consists of a very dangerous stoppage, preventing the free circulation of the blood of commerce through the veins and arteries of the metropolis. Fleet-street has been seized in this shocking way several times during the present year; and Piccadilly, which we thought had just got over a very long attack, has suffered a serious relapse within the last week or two. We really begin to tremble for the very existence of the City, when we see these awful symptoms of a general breaking-up beginning to show themselves in all quarters of the metropolis. If the suburban roads, which are called the lungs of London, should be taken in the same way, suffo cation would be the inevitable censequence.—Punch.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to f be necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between .9outhampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of lipeed, to be derived from the broad gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the rout( of the Valley of the Avon, togeth e:r with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which ROCIIESTER PETTY SESSIONS.—The mother of the line will pass. . Besides forming a direct cominunication with the great manufac turing towns in the north, the 4 -. alisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and SOutli.:Wales. After most mature deliberatical, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders :And the public the Immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above ol4ject, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on puttAic grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the sarrie time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railwi ty, with a view to the ultimate amal gamation of both lines under i me management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, 1 as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same time had to public interest; anid every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salist.ury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Westi.wn, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth shares, will also have a preference. . the boy MeHans, who was sentenced to pay Iss. for stealing a few walnuts valued at 6d., the property of Sir John Marshall, at Gill- Ingham, and whose case appeared in the London journals last week, entered the court, and said that the money had been given her by a gentleman named Underwood, at Gillingham, for the purpose of releasing her son from going to prison. It appeared also that some humane gentleman sent to the county court a post-office order for the amount, and other sums had been forwarded for 'the same benevolent object. The money was accordingly paid, and the discharge made out. By the death of the Rev. Dr. Perkins three livings, in the county and diocese have become vacant, viz., the Vicarage of Dawlish, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter; the Rectory of 3lamhead, in the gift of Sir Robert Newman, Bart. ; and the Rectory of St. Lawrence, in this city, in the gift of the Crown. — Western Luminary.

It commences at the Thirsk station, on the Great North' of Eng land Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to Pickering, where it will form ajunction with the York, Scarborough, Pickering, and VP hitby lines. It is supported by the various Companies having lines of 'rail way running into Leeds and Thirsk, and by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles will be saved between Thirnk and Whitby. It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Stlarbo rough, and Burlington, and the immediate towns of Helmsley- and Kirkby-Moorside, from all places west or north of Thirsk, the traffic In which directions is already very extensive, and is daily on the increase. It is certain, therefore, that a large income will result to the shareholder. The landowners on the line are few in number, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the proposed Company will be under the control of the Committe( s, of whom five are to be a quorum. Applications for shares must be made to the solicitors of the C orn pany, of whom prospectuses and forms of application may be .ob tained, accompanied by a reference, either to some member of ;the Committee, one of the solicitors, or one of the following shut e brokers, viz. : Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings . . - . Robert Johnston, 5, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton-street, London.

This line has for its object a direct communication between the city of Lincoln and the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield, and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Yarmouth through Norwich to Manchester and Liverpool, thereby uniting the two great ports of Yarmouth and Liverpool, whose commerce is somewhat dissimilar, and, consequently, a reciprocal benefit must be the result. The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line at pre sent cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby saving a distance of twenty miles, as well as an:enormous unnecessary expense. The immediate connexion between Yarmouth and Norwich, and all intermediate towns and cities, together with the whole of the mann facturisag districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan cashire, will be highly beneficial. The linc will commence "at Lincoln, at the junction of the projected ralway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceeded from thence across the country through East: Retford to Sheffield, and there join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. Should the projected line from Macclesfield to Sheffield be carried into effect, it will then add another important commercial town to those already ad verted to, and increase the traffic to vast extent. A reference to the map will readily show the great importance •and utility of such a line. A more than usual revenue may he calculated upon in the goods traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to, without taking into consideration the immense passer ler traffic which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway. Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and a close scrutiny will convince those who arc aware of the exigencies of the towns and districts embraced within the scope of the intended line, r us shares eafrreor willit . be given to the land- D IRECT SHEFFIELD and MACCLESFIELD locally thiotghneesnti7eli einterested,hmu allotments ao fe as well as to the connecting RAILWAY.

This Cempany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Kuutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from!Liverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance, and 12% miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantege which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the propoied railway, iu order to eonneet more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, far other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby I) 6v miles) The distance also from Manchester to Leek (wher i e r,, t c h t e i p lai ro l p w os ay el aDboeurbty2 only 56% will be about 30 miles, and from Le 3 e r k an making the whole distance from by any present communi cation ; and thus diminishing the distance 28miles, object th ebe D st e e r r by to to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend desirable cation between those important towns by about an men But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out embracing such beneficial results. important consideration that, in conjunction d a line of railway eighed by the very with he Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, It will also be the The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tiondi with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles ; thus making the whole distance frets) Liverpool to with the Lon d o n 188% miles, instead traffi c of a ll d o , ot b h y e t r he de p t r a es il e s n co t r n o n u e t e e ted . necessary to rev er t t o the great to be brought i n t o communication With regard to the eimprokri t wn a g n o e f e t o h f e t l h i e n e t , s s e p e r m o p o s o s n: d y with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immens connected immense. with the forming of .
