RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TAFF VALE. On Wednesday the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors was held at Bristol; Sir J. Guest in the chair. Mr. MORCON (the secretary) read the Directors' re port, in which were the following statements : " The receipts during the past half year amount to 24,8941. 19s. I Id., being an increase of 2,202/. 12s. 9d., as compared with the last half year, and of 6,4801. 18s., as compared with the corresponding six months of 1844. The profits of the past half year (after payment of the working expenses, the interest on bonds and capital sto dr, and a dividend equal to 5 per cent. per annum on 6,000 qu irter shares) amount to 6,3091. 25., which, with 579/. Bs. 101., undivided last half 3 ear, will give a dis posable balance of 6,8881. 103. 10.1., from which your Directors recommend a dividend to the holders of original shares, at the rate of 3L 14s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the amount of capital standing to the credit of each old share on the 31st of December last, or 2/. 6s. I Id. per share for the half year. This will leave 3s. Id. per share to he added to the capital of the original share, viz.:— Amount. of each old share on 31st distance from Edinburgh to Carlisle.—(Hear, hear.) The line from Dalhousie Mains, southward, had already been staked off, and as contracts had been entered into, the works would forthwith be commenced. NORTH BRlTlSH.—Subequently a meeting of Pro prietors in this line was held, when a resolution of transference of the Hawick line was agreed to, together with resolutions authorising the Directors to raise 400,0002, by the issue of 32,000 new shares, to be divided amongst North British holders—ore share for every 251 share. tion :of the points we have endeavoured to illustrate. These are:- 1. London and Manchester Drect (Remington's). 2. Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction. 3. Sheffield and South Staffordshire. 4. East and West Junction. 5. Leeds, Huddersfield, and South Staffordshire. 6. Chester and Manchester. We consider Remington's London and Manchester Direct Independent Railway to be one of the most im portant projects ever brought before the public. It will pass through or near to St. Alban's, Bed ford, Ket tering, Market Harborough, Leicester, Ashby-de-la- Zouche, Burton, Uttazeter (with a branch through the Sta f fordshire Potteries to Crewe), Leek, and Macclesfield, to Manchester, The places which we have marked in itatcs have now no direct railway communication. Lo'i don is the starting point, and Manchester the terminus— the actual capital of the country, and the real capital of the great manufacturing districts, being thus brought into direct and rapid communication. The district of which Manchester is the centre comprises the important towns of Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Ashton, Oldh am , Mac clesfield, Stockp or t, &., and the population is nearer 1,500,000 than 1,000 000. It cannot be denied that a district so important requires other than a circuitous and dilatory railway communication with London, and the centre of the kingdom. Yorkshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, the Northern, Eastern, Western, and Welsh counties, besides Scotland and Ireland, must inevitably feed such a line, by an abundant supply of goods and passengers. The branch through the S affordshire Pot teries (a district yet without a railway) must be im mensely productive. The direct East and West Junction, although a com paratively short line, will possess commanding advan tages. It is to commence at Kidderminster (at the sta tion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway), proceed through Tenbury, and Leominster, and Hereford, where it will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and other lines converging from Here ford, and running through the west of England into South and Central Wales. It has been decided that Port Dynllaen shall be the terminus and port of the communication line from London to Dublin. The direct route of that railway will be through Wales, by Ludlow, and into Tenbury ; whence goods and passengers brought by it can have the shortest and quickest transit by East and West Junction to the midland and eas tern counties. On the other hand, a new and direct communication will be opened, through this line, be tween South Wales and the west of England, and the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire and York shire, with ready access to the more nor. horn parts of England and the whole of Scotland. The Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway is intended to continue the line of railway which we have just described. It will run from Uttoxeter through Rugeley, with a fork to Dudley on one side, and to Wolverhampton on the other. At Dudley it will join the short line to Kidderminster. To Wolverhampton it will give the incalculable advantage of direct communication with the agricultural district of the Dove Valley, of which Uttoxeter is the capital. East Staffordshire, with its immense agricultural, min ing, and manufacturing wealth, will thus be brought close to Wolverhampton ; while the rich mineral dis tricts of Derbyshire will, for the first time, b-) thoroughly opened. From Uttoxeter, by Remington's Direct London and Manchester, there wilt be communication with these great termini, south and north. Wolver hampton, which has hitherto gained so little by the railway system, cannot fail to benefit immensely by this line, which will plaee it in a very commanding position, by opening new outlets for its important manufactures. It will thus be placed in advantageous rivalry with Birmingham. Another section of this great project is the Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and South Staffordshire Direct Railway, commencing at Uttoxeter—which seems in tended, by position, to be the key-stone, as it were, to a most extensive series of railway communication—this line will proceed through Huddersfield to Leeds. The line, passing through the most picturesque part of Der byshire (and opening that beautiful county to tourists), will give Leeds a direct railway through South Stafford shire to Wales, and the West of England ; and what is no less importance, to Southampton —thus saving a great circuit which must now inevitably be made, owing to the want of direct lines. The mineral produce to which it will give a ready outlet, north and south, is of incalculable value. New markets will also be opened for agricultural produce, for building materials (with which the district abounds), and for a supply of wood from Needwood and other places. We would venture to sug gest the great advantage of carrying a branch from Ash bourne into the Derby and Gainsborough line near Belper, which would introduce the traffic of at least 200.000 inhabitants. The direct line from Chester and Birkenhead to Man• chester, also belongs to the ser i es . Th e e ff ect w i ll be to restere Chester to the commercial station she once held and should still occupy; to bring that city into direct communication with the manufacturing districts, and to unite Manchester with the ducks of Birkenhead. Holy head will continue to be a considerable port of transit and intercourse between England and Ireland ; this line places it in connexion with the great manufacturing towns of the north of England ; and connects North Wales, Shropshire, Hereford, Gloucester, South Wales, and the West of England, and, superseding the dr cuitous route° ts j - crow. wad Dti Ketili-aa, will save t g a.teen miles in one instance and twelve in another. Anotther line has been started connected' with arken-, head ; TWO cannot answer, though one would yield large profits, and we would recommend an amalgamation as likely to benefit the projectors and the public. Indeed, we are inclined to think that the principle of amalgamation might be advantageously brought to bear upon some of the other lines. We think that the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcester Junction. the Sheffield and South Staffordshire, the East and West Junction, and the Leeds, Huddersfield, and South Staffordshire lines, shoUld properly be combined—and thus the great series we have described would consist of two lines instead of six. One line, that from Lon don to Manchester Direct, the other from the West of England to the manufacturing districts of the North. Taking a general glance at the statements which we have thus made, after close examination of the dif ferent lines now proposed, we perceive that if they be carried out, not only Manchester and Leeds, but the North of England and Scotland, will have the most di rect communication that can be made with Lendon— with Southampton and the south of England—with Bristol and the great clothing districts of the West— with South Wales and the agricultural counties which border it—with North Wales —with Ireland—with Ches ter and Birkenhead—with Worcester, Gloucester, and Cheltenham —with Wolverhampton and the Midland manufacturing districts--and with the yet unopened Staffordshire Potteries and the rich mines of Derby shire. ABERDEEN.—On Monday a meeting was held at Mont rose, when resolutions were passed requesting the Aberdeen Company to delay for a short time the execu tion of their plan of entering the town by the east, being satisfied that, by a mutual arrangement, a line far more natural, shorter, and less expensive, may be de termined on, without detriment or prejudice to the interest of the company, avoiding numerous level cross ings, the links to the dock, the house of refuge, and the race-course. GLASGOW AND AYR, BARRHEAD AND GLASGOW, AND ARDROSSAN LINES.—The proposal for an amalgamation of the above lines, which was broken cif some time ago, has been again revived, and is likely to be brought to a favourable termination. The amalgamation of these railways would be mutually beneficial, as it would lead to a large saving in the management. The united limn would be the most profitable in the kingdom.—Glisgow Chronicle. Dec., 1844, as per last report... Sum authorised to be placed to the credit of each cld share half £125 16 yearly Less dividend now recomaiendtfd 2 6 11 0 3 1 £126 0 0 In pursuance of the resolution of the special general uieeting, held on the Ist of April, the Directors took measures for obtaining an Act of Parliament to enable them to carry out the agreement made with the Mar tinis of Bute on the 14th November last. The period of giving notices of applications to Parliament fixed by the standing orders of the House of Commons having elapsed before the agreement with the Marquis of Bute was made, and the Committee of that House refusing to suspend the standing orders, as in many other in stances they had done, your Directors regret to say that the Bill was thrown out. The formation of a double line as far as Navigation House is in progress, one fourth of the distance (from Cardiff to Llandaff) ' being nearly finished, and arrangements made fur the completion of the remainder. During .the last session of Parliament, the Aberdare Railway Com pany obtained an Act f►r joining your line at Navigation House, distant from Cardiff sixteen miles. When the great extent of the coal-field thus opened, and the pre ference the Aberdare coal has obtained all over the world for steam-packet purposes, are taken into con sideration, it may safely be asserted that the increase of trade which will be thus brought on the Taff Vale Rail way can hardly be overrated. The erection of blast furnaces contemplated by Mr. Crawshay Bailey on his very extensive mineral estate, through which the Aberdare line passes, holds out the prospect of still increasing revenue to this Company." The CHAIRMAN, in reply to inquiries from Mr. Price and others, said the 76 forfeited shares would be sold in the market. IRISH LINES. DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN. DUBLIN, AUG. 20.—Yesterday the first meeting of this Company was held at their offices. in Talbot -street, in pursuance of the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act. G. HOYTE, Esq., who presided as chairman, stated that the meeting should be attended by proprietors holding at least one-twentieth part of the Company's shares. lle regretted that representatives of the necessary amount of capital were not present, so that in point of fact the meeting was not legally constituted to do that which the Act of Parliament directed them to perform. The Di rectors, however, were most anxious to afford the Proprietors every information in their power ; and they had prepared a report on the state of the concern, which, together, with Sir John Macneill's report, relative to the engineering department of the line, should be read. Constituted as the meeting was, they could not transact the business contemplated by the Act cf Parliament, which was of an unimportant nature, so far as regarded the stability of the Company, namely, the salaries to be paid to the Directors and secretary, and the appointment of auditors to audit the Company's accounts. Mr. G. V. PORTER asked the solicitor how many shares he thought were represented at the meeting? Mr. KANE replied that there were representatives of 478 shares in attendance, and the Act of Parliament required that there should be 750. After some conversation relative to the shortness of time allowed by the Companies Clauses Act for the in dispensable preliminary arrangements, Mr. KANE, solicitor of the Company, read the report froin the Board of Directors, in which they "con fidently anticipate that the total outlay for legal, engineering, and parliamentary expenses to the time of the passing of the Act, will be co vered by the sum of 13,0001., an amount which, considering the circumstances under which the Act was obtained, and the late period of commencing the preparations for Parliament, is more moderate than might have been anticipated." The report proceeds, In the progress of the Bill through Parliament, an ar rangement was made, at the suggestion of the Parlia mentary Committee, with the Newry and Enniskillen Company, regarding the competing portion of the two lines which run from Clones to Enniskillen, by which the construction of that part is to be executed by the Newry and Enniskillen Company, who are bound by the terms of their Act to complete it within three years, and on its completion this Company is to pay one half its cost, and to become joint proprietors, paying half the expense of maintenance, Bse , thus having the free use of the line for the whole of their traffic for an outlay equal to only one half its cost. Your Directors consider that, in every point of vie w,this arrangement is a very advantageous owe for this Company. Sir John Macneill, the Company's engineer, is proceeding with great expedition in the detailed survey of the line in order to the purchase of the land ;, and by his report it appears that the expense of construction will in many instances be considerably less than the estimate made from the former surveys for Parliament." The report concludes by stating that the works will be urged with great expedition, and it is ex pected that the whole may be completed for public traffic in 18 months from the time that the contracts are made. On account of the legal impediment referred to, the report could not be formally adopted at this meeting, but several shareholders expressed themselves highly satisfied with its contents. Mr. KANE also read the report of the engineer, Sir John Macneill, who says—" I have no hesitation whatever in stating that the line may be completed and opened under my original estimate. The experience I have had in such undertakings, and the fact of more than eighty miles of the Great Southern and Western Railway having been lately contracted for considerably under. my Parlia mentary estimate, justifies me in giving this opinion, the accuracy of which the shareholders and the public will soon be able to test, for I am in expectation of having all the plans and specifications of the two rea .y oy the ems of this rn0..0., as to advertise for tenders ; and as the Earl of Roden has been most liberal in the arrangement made with him for the purchase of the land required for the railway and the terminus and station at Dundalk." In conclusion, Sir John Macneill says :—" The large steamers plying between Liverpool, Glasgow, and Dun dalk now come up close to the quays, and will be enabled, as soon as the railway is completed, to load and unload to and from the railway carriages without a second transhipmect ; and when it is considered that the west coast of Ireland will be thus brought within three hours or three hours and a half of the eastern part, and within fifteen or sixteen hours of Liverpool, it is, I think, a fair presumption that a railway which will effect such an object must prove re munerative to the shareholders, more especially if con structed cheaply, and worked economically, which I have no doubt will be the case in this instaece. Besides the line from Enniskillen to Sligo, I have surveyed another line from Ballybay to Cavan, which is also about to be undertaken by an influential and powerful Company (the North Midland), and which' will also prove a most beneficial feeder or branch to the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway, as it will open the whale of that country to the nearest seaport, where the agricultural produce is at present sent by common carts, the number of which on market days is extremely large. On the whole, therefore, and considering the increased trad e o f Dundalk, the pr os p ect o f most important branch rail ways and extension of the line being constructed, and the certainty of its being cheaply made, I have no hesi •tation whatever in stating that I consider the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway an excellent and useful under• taking, likely to prove beneficial to the country and re munerative to its proprietors." ULSTER. —The traffic on this Railway (25 miles opened was, for the week ending 17th August, 1845: Passengers, 13,009, amount 4611. 14s. Id. ; goods, 1311. 11 s. 4d.-59.31. 54. sd. Corresponding week of last year :—Passengers, 11,373, amount 409/. 12s. 4d.; goods, 1221 12-4 3d.-5321. 4a. 7d. THE PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF COUNTY DOWN LINES.--Difficulties have arisen in the way of the above measure, such as seem very likely to prevent its aecom plishment. A meeting of the shareholders 'if the Belfast and County Down, and the Newry, Banbridge, and Belfast Junction Railway, is called to consider and decide upon the subject. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.—The Directors have made a call of 51. per share upon the Extensions to Limerick and Cork. Mr. OvEnroN said he considered that the Directors were exceeding the - powers vested in them by the Act of Parliament, by expending their cap i tal in making a double line before they had accomplished the purposes for which the Company was formed. It was intended that a branch should be made to Dowlais. This had not been made, nor, as far as he could ascertain, were there any preparations for making it. He had no doubt that if the Company were to make that branch t at it. would yield a large profit. Indeed, be had no hesitation in saying that it would not only return five per cent. on the outlay, but it would yield from 3,0001 to 4,0001. a year to the present line. For some strange reason this branch had never been made, and he (Nlr. Overton) insisted that the Company were bound to , nake it before they could expend money in making a double line. The Cnnams.n . said, if the Hon. Proprietor would look at the Act of Parliament, he would find that the Dowla;s Company had taken powers to make the line themselves whe iever it might suit them to do so. With the great capital which that Company possessed, there could be no doubt that if it had appeared to them de sirable they would have made it. At present the Di- recturs did not deem it judicious to recommend the Sharehulderi to do so. Sir J. Gue.t, Mr. C. James, and Mr. R. 11. Webb were re elect. d Directors. At the close of the meeting the forfeited shares were pit up to auction, and real•sed from 1401. to 1411. MIDDLESBOROUGH AN!) REDCAR. The Directors of this line celebrated the passing of the Bill for this line by a public dinner at Redcar. The line having been staked off preparatory to obtaining the contract, the Directors and several of the Shareholders walked over the course. and visited the dock brunch of the Darlington and Stockton Railway, on a convenient patt of which the Middlesborough station-house is intended for the Redcar line. The latter, we may here state, branches off the former line, near the docks, and skirts the Tees and the sea banks, p 'swing Orinsbv Hall. Normanby Hall, Wilton Castle, Kirleathom, add other places of interest, which were pointed out to the company as they went over the line. On nearing Coatham, a village about a mile from Redcar, the Directors were met by a number of influential gentlemen belonging to the neighbourhood, and escorted into the town by instrumental music, banners, and a considerable number of the inhabitants, who evinced an enthusiasm in the proceedings that has never, we (-; aqa - r, ueen wunesseu R01m"... The town had quite a holiday appearance. The inhabitants, to a great extent, suspended all busi ness for the day, and flags and colours were displayed from most of the houses. On reaching the site in tended for the station, where, by the way, a tent was erected, and tea supplied to about 500 females, the direc tors proceeded to the lied Lion Hotel, where they partook of a sumptuous entertainment, Mr. Wilkinson pre siding ; supperted by Mr. C. Dryden, as Vice-Chairman ; Messrs Pease, jun., Henry Pease, B. Flounders, J. C. II ipkina, Natl..oiiel News, Edw. Oxley, H. Birkbeck, of Norwich ; John Harris, Thomas Newham, of Yarm ; F. Meal barn, ten., F. Mewburn, jun., J.W. Pease, J. Middle ton. C. C. Oxley, Dr. Harper, T. B. Gommersall, John Dolphin, of Hunter House ; Thomas Macnap, John 13tker, of Thirsk, and others. - The dining-room was decorated with flags, on which were inscribed " Mid dleshro' and liedear Railway—Cursu pernir at littora It t" (swift in its course it tends to the shore), and " 5, , r.- - -ss to the Bishop-Auckland and Weardale Rail wa: O npauy—Fit via vi" (it becomes a way by force). va , r):y oe tqa,t, were proposed and responded to, an rag. others, " The Directors of the Middleborough au.. ,;car Ittilway." The Cr:wax:am returned thanks. The undertaking in which they were concerned must, he said, be deeply interesting to the commercial classes. Looking to the various channels of communication by various rail ways already formed or in progress, and to the connexion speedily to be firmed with Lancashire avid the West Riding of Yorkshire, no one could fail to sr() the great b-ncflt this district would derive from the railiva - -. When they c msidered how completely it stood proved that the improvement in agriculture had gone hand in hand with railways, they must agree that both were inseparable interests. When they saw m , mire ,, mineral, ve .:et..ble, and chemical, and the pro duce of the land thus maoured brought from one plane tv alothcr with such facility, and when, above all, they saw that of mind which enabled one farmer to co np :re his position with an ,they in a different part of the country, they saw enough to show the advantages of railways to the agricultural interest. OXFORD. WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON. -- A public dinner was given in the Market place, at Stow on the-Wold, last week, to H. G. Busby, Esq., of More ton, and Rob-rt flemati, Esq., of Donnington-house, to c monemoraie the passing of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Bill. The Rev. R. W. Hippes ley presided, and several addresses were delivered, the respective speakers concurring in the conviction that the proposed line would he of incalculable alvantage ao the districts through which it passed. The staking out of the line is being proceeded with, and the ground will shortly be broken. An essential point connected with these lines remains to be noticed—the respectability of the Direction in each case. When we see men of wealth, judgment, in fluence, and character, heartily aiding such projects, and not sparing personal exertions and money to advance them, We cannot entertain a doubt of the stable grounds upon which they are based—the sound principles upon which they have been formed. On the other hand, the companies formed to carry those lines into execution, and confer permanent• benefits upon the public, have been most fortunate in having, as their " right-hand," a solicitor with that energy and judgment which unite boldness in design with caution in action. We have had personal knowledge of that gentleman for many years, and have often had occasion to admire his grasp of mind, his untiring devotion to business, and his comprehensive ability in carrying out whatever objects he might have in view. We shall take an early opportunity of showing what railway lines, whether in operation or in course of formation, directly bear upon and must serve as feeders to the great direct trunks which we have been describ ing. The traffic which must flow from these sources is considerably beyond what may be imagined, and will show that those projects have not been lightly entered upon. ATIONAL S' s I'E vi - of RAILWAYS. (From the Railway Express of yesterday.) The advantages of the direct lines of railway corn• munication are so obvious as to require neither com ment nor recommendation. The whole system of tra velling has undergone a great organic change within the last twenty years. Instead of creeping on at the snail pace of eight miles an hour—the mails did not average more than ten and a half—we have learned to complain of thirty miles as too dilatory. Nor is there any doubt that even double that speed will be readily and safely accomplished within the hour, ere we are much older. The word is " Forward," and Science is busy, even now, in devising means by which that advance may be car ried out. We are by no means sure—so great have already been the triumphs of science —that, in the ful ness of time, some mode of travelling will not be dis covered by which even 100 miles per hour may be ac compliAed. Meantime, let the public have the full ad vantage of all the "aids and appliances to boot" now at their service. The acceleration of speed, great as it is, has not yet done for the public all that it could and ought to have done. Our lines of railway have been so formed that they do not take the shortest routes. In almost every instance they take ciecniteus routes, and thus, whatever speed may be obt a i ne d , the proionged distance is a bar to the qtai :ked transmissio n of goods and passengers. If this object be sought, the means must be DIRECT INDE PENDENT RAILWAYS. 0,1 th e C ontinent, this principle is universally recognised, and hence the admirable re -viz., the she test lines rom place to place. In this ,-, hitherto, the formation of railways has been almost independent of control or check from the powers that be, and the natural issue is, our main lines of rail way run zigzag, take a bend here, and an angle there, and have been made, in fact, to accommodate particular districts and towns rather than the community at large. When we speak of " di rec t li nes ," we d o not mean that a projector is to take the map draw a line from one terminus to the other, and declare fiat to be the un deviating course of the future rail vay. But we do . say that a di rec t li ne so d rawn,s h ou ld b e ever held in view by the railway projector, as that which should be the guide-track as far as possible. No occasion, if a mountain be in the direct way, to cut through it, or to run a via duct over an extensive valley, when hill arid hollow can be avoided, w ith l essene d expense, and very slightly in creased distance, by the skilful divergement of the rail road to the right or t.) the left ; but the straightest line should ever be adhered to when it is in the power of the engineer to do so. His aim should be to "annihilate both time and space," by taking the shot test 'route and using the most rapid means of transit So universally is this principle in course of recogni tion, that we venture to predict its adoption to the fullest by the Legislature. Our opinion, formed upon no light grounds, is, that in the next session the Parliament will take a decided line for the public advantage, and give the preference to such Bills as have for their object direct and independent railway communication between important termini. The great trunk lines must be the shortest that can be made. One great chain of direct independent railroads has been laid before the public, and the favour with which the series has been received affords the best etlnfirma. GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN.—We learn that this Company is prepared to adopt the wide gauge from Birmingham to Swansea, and to meet the wishes of the inhabitan•s of Great Malvern and Ledbury to the fullest extent, by making communication with these towns either by the main line or branches therefrom.-- Kr may Chronicle. [ADVERTISEMENT.] LONDON AND MANCHESTER DIRECT RAILWAYS. Sir,—Amid the hosts of railway schemes intruded on the public attention, I have been much struck with the prominence the two direct independent, London and Manchester lines, commonly called Remington's and Ashursts, have assumed. The daily, the weekly, papers seem to be crowded with advertisements of these schemes, sometimes as many as five or six in one paper expatiating on their respective merits—why is this ? Are the public at the present time so devoid of railway excite ment—so little disposed to gambling, that it is only by dint of published meetings and accumulated advertise ments, repeated, ai has been the case in - reference to these projects for months, till the eye and ear are wearied with them, that the great railway speculators and the public are to be induced to take'shares ? Or is it that these lines are in truth so vast, so little trusted to by sensible capitalists, so marked by want of real strength in their committees, or of sterling merit in their object ; so late in the day, and so little likely to be successful in the inevitable contest with existing interests, that they require lengthened and inordinate puffing, evt n in present times, to force them upon the market. Looking at the matter as a plain person, I cannot but think th e l a tt er i s t h e f act, an d I w ill a dd uce some few of the many reasons that have struck my mind with conclusive force in reference to these projects. Take, for example, Remington's line. If the weight of London and Manchester really supported it, would months have elapsed before the shares were taken, when in ordinary schemes the shares are allotted and paid for in as many weeks. How many of the landowners are on the committee ? Without something of landed sup port, can they hope to get through the standing orders in any reasonable time ? Will their surveyors even have permission in all places to survey ? This is doubtful, especially when it is considered that in many of the district schemes the owners of miles and miles of the land through which the lines would pass are on the committees. Again, look at the absurd opposition of Remington's line to existing railways, take, for instance, the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, already made from Manchester by Stockport to Macclesfield, though not opened fur part of the distance. Why, Remington's is laid out as an independent and competing line from Macclesfield to Manchester, consequently it must pass, not at the distance of a mile or two from the' Manchester and Birmingham, but ab3olutely parallel with it at the distance of a few hundred yards most part of the way, at times almost running against it, in a manner unknown in the annals of railways ' • another viaduct would probably be requi re d through Stockport, and fresh mills and houses to be cleared away. The expense of the present line from Manchester to Macclesfield has been stated, and, I believe, not understated, at 40,0001. or 50,000/. a mile, and it has been questioned whether the Macclesfield Branch would pay, at any rate it has not yet been opened. How absurd, then, to suppose that rarliamanS will - mid= inialtuheArd of compefi The proprietors of the Somersetshire Canal purpose to convert it into a railway. A rumour has reached ns that Mr. Hudson has avowed his intention to bring out a new line of railway between Hull and !Manchester, passing through Howden, and saving 26 miles in the entire distance between the two termini. This act of hostility to the Manchester and Leeds gornpany is said to have followed an intimation that the later Company intend to divert, so far as it is possible ' the Manch es t er export goods traffic from Hull to Goole, by means of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Guo Itailway.—Eastern Countiew Her a ld. , The system which many bankers have adopted, of ad vancing money upon railway shares as security, has con tributod much to the diffusion of the mania for specula lion, and to an unnaturally high state of prices.

EDINBURGH AND HAWICK.-1-A special general meet ing or the Proprietors was held on Monday, at Gihts's Royal MAO-, Edinburgh, Mr. J. L , arrnouth, of Dean, in the chair, when, on the nvition of the chairman, se con(l,!d by Sir James Forrest, a requisition concurring in t'le sale of tie lino to the North British Railway Comp Ley, was carried unanimously. • The chairman slid the holders of shares of the Hawiek line would now bveome h dd,rs in the North British, the former being hereafter an integral part of the latter. He might mention that it was intended to form the line all the way to Ca I:s!e, and that there was the proTect of ar range ncnts being made with two of the principal pro prietors in the district of the country through which the Err!

People would take ad vantage of the I - lawick line in preference to the Caledonian Railway, as the country was much more popu lous, m re beautifnl, and in every respect much more attractive. Millar, the enyineer, was desirous that the Ci-inpany should get possession of the land as soon as p ),s bk., in order that the more expensive and tedious portion of the line might immediately be proceeded with, so that within a year of obtaining an Act of Par- Lam en t, th e hue might tze open for traffic for the whole THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST z 3, 1845. ' tion as this. Besides, the London and York line has almost passed through Parliament ; this proceeds in its course from London to Bedford, and here would be another competing psrallel like the former, (quaily out of the question. The independent line, of course, do amalgamating, or its very f un d am ent a l propositions o would fall to the ground. not sti intendn of f Again, look at the capital as an evidence of weakness, this was first stated at 3,000,000/., but this being too palpable it is now stated at 5,000,0001. It is well known, however, that the London and Birmingham cost near 8,000,000/. Is it conceivable then, even with modern improvements, that a line of nearly twice the length will cost much less ? Besides this, as I have sometime seen noticed, the Manchester and Buxton, Midland Counties, Leicester and Bedford, and London and York, would form one complete line, and the London and Birmingham, Trent Valley, Chur net Valley, and Manchester and Birmingham, another complete line. from Manchester to London ; these would surely be sufficient for the Manchester traffic, which, according to the late returns of the Grand Junction, was only 17,0001. a year on their line, and do away with any necessity for the vast undertakings alluded to. And I have good authority for believing that the London and Birmingham and the above lines in connexion with it will be absolutely nearer, as between London and Manchester, than Remington's project. One more remark, and I have done—l cannot but confess my surprise that some of the inhabitants of the intermediate towns seem to have been induced to sup port the independent lines, which seems especially absurd as regards them, for the very .pecial object and distinguishing intent of the above schemes, is to give the great termini of London and Manchester a direct line independent of the district towns ; there is to,. be little or no stopping for cross or luggage-trams, or waiting for local traffic, nothing materially to interfere with the unimpeded transit from end to end. And yet these are the projects, those very intervening places (which are professed in some measure to be neglected), think it well to support Surely, alter what has been said, it will appear to any person exercising reasonable reflvction, that it did not require that the chances of success should be divided between Ashurst's and Rentington's projects, to detract anything on their respective ineritv.

A series of private experiments have been conducted on this line of railway, and will be continued for the next few days, far the purpose of testing the powers of atmospheric propulsion, and the most marked and de cided success has attended all the experiments that have been hitherto performed. The question as to the power of a-cending inclines was completely set at rest by an experiment which may be regarded as an experimentum crud:. A train was brought to the foot of an incline of 1 in 50, and stopped, so as to deprive it of any power it might have acquired from the impetus of its previous progression. It was then pro pelled by the atmosphere up the incline, and that hick many of oar most eminent engineers have declared an impossibility was accomplished with the greatest ease imaginable. Among other re sults that have been obtained, we may mention that the five miles' length of tube has been exhausted in its whole extent, the barometer being at the time at 271, and that the piston has traversed its whole length. As we before said, the experiments are not yet completed, but, as far as they have gone, they demonstrate not only the practicability but the supe riority of the atmospheric mode of propulsion. The train was frequently propelled at the rate of eighty miles an hour. FRIDAY NIGHT S GAZETTE. ADMIRALTY, Ago. 18. Corps of Royal Marines—Second Lieutenant C. L.

A rather violent storm had broken over Rouen about noon ; the rain had fallen in abundance, and some claps of thunder were heard, but there was nothing to presage the horrible disaster which has desolated one of the richest and most industrious portions; of the arrondissement. " At thirty.five minutes after twelve a furious whirlwind arose in the valley beyond Deville, commencing at the Houlme. It first carried away a part of the roof of the factory of M. Rouff, then, gaining force as it proceeded, it overthrew several small buildings, broke down trees and hedges, and destroyed crops. Further oil, buildings were unroofed, and others were literally crushed In. We have seen some in which the ruins, the furniture, the corn, hay, &c., were so confounded with the uprooted trees of the field, or gardens which surrounded them, that it is impossible to say where the buildings stood, or where was the garden. The scourge, moving with the speed of lightning, carried to a distance some parts of the ruins, then uprooted the highest and largest trees, and at last struck three of the principal factories of the valley. Lightning is in fact less rapid than was the destruction of these establishments. The destruction is so complete that the imagination cannot con ceive it, and no description could give an idea of it. They have been literally reduced to crumbs. To crown the fatality, the event took place at an hour whets the greatest activity is going on, and the hands are most numerous. Of the three establishments which have been destroyed, one is in the commune of Malaunay —viz., that of M. Bailleul, and which was carried on by M. Neveu; the two others were situated near Monville—viz., those of M. Picquot and M. Marc. At M. Neveu's 120 persons were at work, the roof fell in, and the walls gave way before any person could escape. At M. Mare's, where the number of hands at work were seventy, the calamity was sot less sudden and com plete. At M. Picquot's the number of persons at work was not less than 180. The roof being first carried away, all those within rushed to the doors, and they became so crowded that only a few comparatively could get out, This factory was finished scarcely a year ago, and the proprietor was blamed for erecting it in a more solid manner than any others of the valley. The cr.imney, which was 150 feet high, fell down to within a few yards of the ground, and iwas thrown across the river. The third floor, cut off with wonderful precision, was also carried into the water. The two other stories next gave way, and at last the ground floor was dO completely demolished that scarcely two bricks remained in their places. All this was accomplished in less than two minutes ; people from all parts hurried to render assistance; all the manufactories and workshops in the neighbourhood sent out their men, and at once began to clear out the ruins to save those tinder them who might be yet alive. Nothing can equal the scene presented at the three principal theatres of this vast disaster. Machinery. looms, bars of iron were fractured, and enormous pieces of timber were broken as if they were mere straws, and all bin together in one confused mass. Tprn fragments of clothing were seen among flocks of cotton wool, with arms and legs protruding from the heap; pieces of flesh were adhering to the irons, and many parts were dyed with blood. Now and then deep groans were heard : some men and children, preserved as if it were miraculously, by an overhanging beam, were taken out uninjured, but more frequently some severed limb or dead corpse, or a body so mutilated that death would have been preferable to the torture it encored. On the road nothing was to be seen but litters or carts, carrying away the dead or wounded. Temporary hospitals were promptly established. Sur. geons came from Rouen, brought by M. Flobert, and bestowed their care and pains upon all, even those of whom no hope could be en. tertained. The master of the hotel of the Cheval Noir placed at the disposal of the faculty the largest room In his house, with all the linen and every other useful thing which he had then at his command; 26 of the sufferers were laid in the ball-room and in the orchestra. A number of the clergy came to bestow the con solations of religion, and the Cure of Monville, dressed in his surplice, recited the last prayers for the dying over those whom the faculty despaired of saving. Men, wirnen, and children were weeping over their relations, many of whom were expiring in the most cruel agonies. This dreadful scene was rendered even still more harrowing, when the medical men, in the interest of such of their patients of whom they entertained hopes, required that all persons who could not be made useful should be withdrawn. This necessary demand was executed by the authorities with the most affecting kindness and consideration, but the cries and lamentations it caused were rending to the hearts of all present. At the guard-house at Monville were placed all the bodies taken out of the factory of M. Picquot, We have seen 17. Two were those of young girls, one that of a woman, and the rest of men and boys. Among these last several had been taken out of the river, into which they had been precipitated from the third floor. Some were entirely crushed, others had their heads and chests driven flat, and some had their heads severed from the trunks. Need it be said that the spectacle was most horrible. When we withdrew from the seat of the catastrophe, at ten at night, we found at M. Picquot's house 25 dead and more than 50 wounded, part of whom could not be expected to live through the night. It was believed that there were 10 more victims still under the ruins. Out of three foremen, one was killed, the two others saved alive, but severely injured. The loss in money is estimated at 120,000 f. At M. Neveu's there were 9 killed and 15 wounded, but how many remained underithe ruins was not known. His loss is estimated at 250,000 f. At M. Mare's there were six dead and a great number wounded. His loss is putdown at 120,000 f. In all 40 dead and 1 . 00 wounded—many of these last mortally. Theaggregate loss is com puted to amount to 620,000 f. for these three establishments only. From one of these phenomena, of which these storms present so many varied examples, these buildings were not destroyed le. gularly one after the other, but the whirlwind seemed to have moved in angular directions, and less solid buildings between the spinning mils were - left standing. The effects of the hurricane extended upwards of a league and a half in length. The com munes which have chiefly suffered by it are Le Houlme, Malaunay, Monville, Eslette, Cleres, and Anceaumeville. O►er the whole of the crest of the hills which inclose the valley of Monville the trees have been destroyed. At Anceaumeville the buildings of a pro perty belongidg to M. Barnet have been blown down and the trees uprooted, and also a number of sheep and cows belonging to M. Caron were killed. A gigantic tree was raised upwards of forty yards, and transported to a considerable distance. Roads are ren. slued impassable by trees laid across them. Carts, waggons, and other carriages have been blown over, and many persons carried far away out of their paths. Among the thousand incidents cited, we may notice that 4f. Picquot was on his way to his factory when the storm came on, and stopped, and before he could recover his road the ruins of the factory alone were to be discoveied. Whilst the work was going on in the ruins at M. Neveu's, cries were heard from him, and the men were direct( d to turn their attention towards the spot from whence they proceeded. He was found sup porting himself on his wrists, with his back supporting a mass of rubbish, and protecting his mother, who had fallen close to him, and who would have been smothered, had it not been for his admi rable courage. He had remained in this position, forming a sort of arch over her. Both were taken out without any serious in. jury, but the emotion of M. Neveu was so great that for an hour and a half after his deliverance he could not articulate a single word. A workman who happened to be in the third story of M. Picquot's factory, was thrown into the meadow, where he fell without being hurt. As he got up, and was endeavouring to proceed toward the ruins, he was knocked down by an apple.tree, uprooted by the wind, but he was only slightly hurt. The mutilated remains of two young girls had been just taken from the ruins of M. Mare's, when a woman, who was watching what was going on, recognised them as her daughters. She immediately gave way to the wildest grief, and, rushing to the river, threw herself in and was drowned. We have said that aid was brought from the town. We think it right to mention the names of the persons who distinguished themselves by their zeal and devotedness. M. de la Preugne, Secretary-general of the Prefecture, quickly organised the means that were to be employed, sent orders, and gave instrue.tions, which powerfully contributed to render the labours as efficient as possible. M. Ton gard, Councillor of the Prefecture, remained on the spot as long as he could be of use; M. Dubue, physician at Monville; the Cure, Baron de Monville, the mayor of the commune; M. Loritz, of the gendarmerie; M. Genot, sen., M. Edward, and Henry Lemaitre, Derand, of the indirect taxes, Ste. We ought also to mention the Municipal Guards, who kept excellent order; a squadron of gendarmerie, and half a battalion of the 21st regiment of the line, who arrived with the surgeon and assistant-surgeons of the regi. meat. M. de la Preugne has demanded succour from the Minis. ter, to be distributed amongst the most necessitous sufferers." I The Minister of Public Works yesterday received a deputation from the English Committee of the Decan LOW Northern Railroad Company. This deputation was composed of Mr. Francis Mowatt, President of the Committee ; Alderman Hughes, of London ; Mr. Weguelin, a Director of the B an k of England ; Colonel Barlow, President of the Southampton Dock Comp any; M.

The Retribution, steam-frigate, In dock, fitted for sea, is nearly ready for the pendant, and is expected to be in commission the beginning of next week. The Bull-dog steam-frigate will not be launched before the end of September next, by which time the contractor will have her engines ready to be put on board. The Janus steam-sloop.—This unfortunate and most expensive craft is having her engines again taken to pieces, for the purpose of endeavouring to discover the cause of her failure. The whole of the smiths on this establishment have commenced during the week working by task and job, from five in the morhing until seven o'clock in the evening, to bring up the arrears of iron work. THE IRON TRADE. STRIKE OF THE COLLIERS AND PUDDLER% We regret to learn that the partial strike of the puddlers, in the parish of Tipton and other parts of the district, is likely to be fol lowed by a general turn-out of the colliers and ironstone miners. Notice was given a fortnight since to the puddlers, that the reduc tion of one shilling a ton would be generally adopted by the mat. tern, and as the notice expires this day, it is expected that opera. lions will be suspended in most of the works in South Staffordshire. The thick coal colliers, with the stone-getters, have also had no tices in the district west of Dudley, for a reduction of sixpence, bringing the wages of the former to 45., and the latter to 35., per day. These notices expired last Saturday, and hundreds of men are now perambulating the neighbourhood in every direction, watching the pits at work, and threatening those who continue in employment at the reduced rates. From the measures adopted by the " turn-outs," it is expected that all the mines in the district will very soon be at a standstill. This state of things, in connexion with the expiration of the puddlers' notices, will cause one of the greatest strikes hitherto witnessed in South Staffordshire. It is difficult to say how the disagreement will terminate, as the masters have resolved not to submit to the terms of the workmen, and the latter seem equally bent on enforcing their demands. The stocks of coal are very limited, and should no immediate arrangement be come to, the masters will be obliged to blow out their furnaces, and thus throw out of employment all the hands engaged in the manufacture of iron. It is to be hoped that matters will not be pushed to this ex t rem ity, as the men and their families are already in a state of great dest;tuticn ; and although they may obtain partial employ ment in fle.'d labour, this resource cannot last long; and while they continue' " at play," work men an d colliers will flock In from other districts, .and take their pk.ces in the mines and at the fur naces. We have been informed, on wh a t we d eem good authority, that by the stoppage, of three furnac es a l one i n the parish of Tipton, during the present st.:ike, the puddl ers h ave sacrificed in wages 1,0001. a-week. Thus 15,0001., which would otherwise have found its way into different channels of industry, giving employ ment and bread to hundreds of families, is irrecoverably lost, and this unfortunate state of things is not only to be perpetuated, but widely extended, producing ,-discontent and want in i district which, in the present state of trade, possesses all the elements of long. continued prosperity, Regar ding the price of iron, it is difficult to arrive at anything ii;:st a correct conclusion as to the actual position of the mrArket; but ttese certain, and not very remote supply of rails, &c, required by the eu :mpanies whose Bills have passed through Parliament, and the genera) :xhanstion of the s t oc k s h e ld by consumergt Combine to' g i ve in - 41 stability and prosperity to the tr lA!!,."Birtnilrghem ,Journal.'"**s" 3 1 / 31% 72 7 3 / 1 6 40% 7 2% NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

General Dick was resumed at one o'clock, before the Coroner, Mr. • English, at the Lamb Stall-street. Mr. Greaves, barrister, and Mr. Smith, solicitor, attended on behalf of the executors. The CORONER said, he was sorry to have to state that it would ! be necessary again to adjourn the inquiry, as Mr. Herapath, whose evidence was most essential, was engaged at Bristol upon a trial at the assizes as to a patent right. Mr. T. Barrett, the surgeon who made the post martens examination of the deceased General's body, was in attendance, but it would not be advisable to take the scientific evidence at two sittings. There was, however, a wit ness present who had come from Trowbridge, and the jury could, if they pleased, 'receive his testimony, or they could adjourn at once. The jury said, that as they were now assembled, they would pre. fer going on as far as they could. Mr. Joseph Cull was then sworn, and deposed, that up to the 13th March in the last year, he lived in the service of General Dick as butler, at Catherine-place, Bath. The body exhumed some days since in the Abbey Cemetery was that of General Dick. He died on the 13th of March, at about one o'clock. In the morning he appeared to be in his usual health up to twelve o'clock. He took his breakfast as usual at eight o'clock, his usual breakfast hour, and at half•past ten o'clock he read prayers, according to his general custom. There was nothing then at all unusual in his appearance. At a quarters past eleven o'clock witness took up his chocolate as usual. Witness put the sugar into the chocolate cup and the cook poured the cho colate into it. Witness left the chocolate with the deceased and presumed that he drank it, as he afterwards saw the cup emptied of its contents. He was at this time sitting in a back.room behind the dining.room, which was usually occupied by young Mr. hornas as a sleeping-room. Mr. Thomas was the General's grandson. When tlis chocolate was taken to him deceased seemed as usual he made no complaint of illness. At about half.past twelve o'clock a friend of his, Captain Hutchison, called to see him. Witness went into the room and announced him. The General then looked altered ; he was paler than usual; leaning back its his chair, with his mouth partially open, and his eyes looking dim, as if he were drowsy. Witness announced Captain Hutclti•on, and he said, " Very well, Cult'; I will go to him." Witness then asked the Captain into the drawing-room, and went himself into the dining-room to lay the cloth for luncheon. Mr. Thomas then called out from the sittings room, " Cuff, come and assist me " He went in, and saw the General on his hands and knees by the bedside, and Mr. Thomas trying to lift him up. Mr. Thomas said, " the General has had a fit, Cuff." Witness could not see the General's face, but he was still, and did not struggle at all. •Witness assisted Mr. Thomas, and sat back in the General's chair, and they got the General off the gre,uncl, and sat him on his (witness's) knee. He gave one sigh, leant his head hack on witness's shoulder, and his mouth fell more open than before. After that he exhibited no signs of life. He was never subject to fits, and had not been ill before. Mr. Thomas left witness in the room with the deceased, and went to fetch Dr. Spry, who was in attendance in three or four minutes afterwards. Mr. Thomas followed in abcut a minute, and Dr. Daniel also came, as did Captain Hutchison. Dr. Spry tried to bleed the de ceased in the arm and in the temple, but only one drop of blood came. He had been dead half an hour and more before any of the servants or family knew of it. They knew that he was very ill, but not that he was dead. The witness was here taken ill and fainted, and his evidence was interrupted for a time. On its being resumed, he con tinned— Mr. Thomas cautioned witness not to tell them he was dead, fearing that they might tell the General's daughters and frighten them. Mr. Thomas afterwards said to the gentlemen that he thought they might bury the body without an inquest, as lie did not want a stir to be made in the house. Witness did not know of anything besides the chocolate having been given to the General. He was not in the habit of taking medicine. Never knew of his drinking peppermint-water. Ile had not been sick at all during the morning. Witness observed nothing unusual in the choco late cup when he took it out of the room. Saw no glass or medi cine bottle about. There being no other witness in attendance, The CORONER adjourned the inquest till to-morrow at 1 o'clock, when it will be held at the Guildhall. HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE NEAR ROUEN. COURT CIRCULAR.
