The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three fold ; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of Coal and Ironstone In the kingdom ; secondly, to make a Trunk Line of communication from South to North, between the Midland and the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with the Midland at Oakenshaw, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at sr near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley, and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely populated and important manufacturing district through which the lino is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country. The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them; it ts perfkctly independent, and imperatively called for. The quantity of coal procured from different conferee now work ing in the Bowdon Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on Ike intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when INe railway now projected is formed, it is believed that the average supply weekly Will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres, and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews bury, Bingiey, Keighley, Sklpton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, &c., &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least one-half, and in the more distant places much more than this amount of reduction, and In all which places an abundant supply of good and cheap coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised frost this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample rat. for the capital required. Besides passing through the centre of this immense coal field, the railway traversis a district affording accommodation to a population of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom modation to this vast population, whose internal traffic must neces sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for Inter nal resources aad external relations its advantages are almost un rivalled. This :line affords th e mos t di rect communication from North to South, and will be a nearer route fram Huddersfield, Wakefield, Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South , to that much frequent e d watering-place, Harrogate , and will form t; most eligible line, w i th appropriate ;stations at Wakefield, Alver thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Ptulsey, Stanningley, C a l ver l ey, And Horsforth . The length o f the main line will be about sixteen miles, and the branches six miles. The project is warmly supported by the landed and loca l Judi vi d u a a n s nt i e s t h t r g y e , and by a large body of mercantile an d wealthy above districts, who, confident of a successful issue, will means for bringing the project before tile L eg i s l ature next ses sion The Company reserve the power of maki ng an extension fr . 1 their line to Bradford, at the most convenient p o i nt for tke eonveoym ance of the minerals, &c., if adequate provisio n b e not made by another Company. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to the amount of h* individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all tells after the rate of 4 per cent. per from the time the Act is obtained. - -- 7urther information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds or Bradford, and applications for sharps may be addressed to them in the form subjoined.

It is proposed to commence this line of railway at Birmingham, at a point contiguous to the railways from the north, and to proceed thence to or near Henley-in-Arden, Stratford-on-Avon, Shipston, Chipping Norton, Woodstock, Oxford, Wallingford, and Caverthain, crossing the Great Western Railway at Reading, thence continuing In a direct course through or near Oakingham to Farnborough, where it will cross the South Western Railway, and proceed through or near Guildford, crossing the London and Portsmouth Atmospheric Railway, and continuing through or near Godalming, and Horsham, to Brighton and Shoreham, thus connecting the great manufacturing* districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, Der byshire, and Leicestershire; the iron and coal districts of Shropshire, Staffordshire, and Warwickshire ; the Potteries„ the salt-works of Droitwich, and the entire north of England and Scotland with the southern districts; and perfecting a direct line of communication between the Irish Sea and the Bristol Channel with the English Channel, at its most important and convenient point. By this railway the most direct channel of communication via Di eppe or +Havre, with Paris, the whole of Central Europe, and the Mediterranean, will be effected. By the junction of this line with the Portsmouth Atmospheric Rail way at or near Guildford, the very important port and arsenal of Portsmouth will be placed in direct communication with Birming ham and the whole of the manufacturing districts. The communication between the important districts accommo dated by this line, is now carried on by a very circuitous route, sub jecting It to great delay, which will be entirely avoided ; and this line of direct communication between termini of the utmost importance, without change of carriage between Birmingham and Brighton, and Its consequent expense and loss of time, will also afford great local accommodation to the fertile, populous, and wealthy districts which are traversed by it. To Berkshire, Surrey, and Sussex, to which sea-borne coal is now imported at great coast, and with much uncertainty, Staffordshire and Warwickshire coal may be conveyed by this railway at a great reduction in price. The products of the manufacturing dLstricts will, by this line, find the most direct communication with Paris and central Europe ; and the interchange of stone, lime, tiles, cattle, wool, grain, malt, and hops, and all the produce of the districts traversed by this line, will be greatly facilitated. The intercourse already existing between the proposed termini of this line is very considerable, notwithstanding the circuitous and necessarily expensive route ; but considerable as it is, it must be evident that such Intercourse, whether for business or pleasure, will the construction of this direct railway corn mbeugnirceaattiloynp.romoted by . . . There cau be no doubt, that important as this line will be found u s a channel for the traffic between the termini, it will derive a great profit from the traffic of the Northern and Midland Counties, and the Continent, whilst the railways converging at Birmingham, those lines which this will intersect, and the new lines now constreeting along the coast, will afford communication with the entire of Eng land. _ _ . . ----- The distance and time that will be saved by this railway are as follows: Milos.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will t,.,uch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposal Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway. It wiil communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the Capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica- Lion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern port►ons ,of the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon —from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of New South Wales, as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the econowly in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion. To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South 'Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the m trkets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this uudenaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centurn on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par liament, and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west ' of Exeter, and the whole of the county of cornwan. or. now deoti lute of rai2 ., tty aecemmooetion. The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin sula ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the " London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the " Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was this Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords, in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the moat westerly port in the Channel." Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving in actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze,* to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of renege in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over -rated. The central district from Exeter, westward, has been recently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being sear or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, Camborne, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marazion, and Pen- This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent, after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate company would be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Tre.ro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines ; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China slay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood. It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel ; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Rude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines Is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, amounting to more than GOO,OOO, its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,—lts Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan tages,--its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies, —were i fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given i n that House, showed a go o d remune rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well-digested system of Branches ; and when the Rather increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise front bringing Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county of Cornwall. this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the Investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public of Merchants, Cornwall meetings aod West erea D n e d vo p o t ; i t t i h o o ns so f pp o o m rt every o b te a t; te of coy, sTruantet3sr, and s:rong assurances of support already received from the landowners and general interests along the line; and the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose members appear in the Provisional Committee, leave no doubt of the successffil issue of the application which will be made to Par liament In the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions, and for allowing interest at 4/. per Cent, per annum, on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee reserve :to themselves tho power of making such alterations in the Main Line, or Branches, and also of entering into such arrangements for the construction of those Branches, by Auxiliary Companies, as may be deemed advisable. _. The Deposit will be Payable on the allotment of the Shares. It is intended to proceed to an early allotment, giving a preference to local applicants, and to the Shareholders in the above-named Asso ciated Companies.

THE BRISTOL AND DOVOR DIRECT JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, connecting Bristol, Wales, and the important Western and North-western Districts, with Bent and France. Capital 800,0001., in 32,000 Shares of 251. each. (Provisionally Registered.) Deposit 21. Iss per Share. • (In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords., This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct communi cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It will then pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and giving a communication to the populous and Important towns of Lud gershallt Andover, Whitchurth, Basingstoke (where the Southampton Railway has a station), Odibam, and Farnham to Godaming. Here it will form a junction with other lines, which will complete the communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dovor Rail way ; or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the Brighton Railway is united with the Dovor. From a consideration of this route, and by a glance at the map, it will at once be seen that this project will place in immediate con nexion the mineral and great coal districts of Wales—the vast traffic that empties itself into Bristol from the Birmingham branch line via Gloucester—the West of England cloth districts—the immense pro- ductions of the north—together with the commercial traffic with Ireland (now so much on the increase), with the important towns and hop districts of central Kent and its eastern coasts, Canterbury, Toubridge, Maidstone, Ashford, Folkestone, and Dovor, &c. ; open ing at the same time a direct road to Calais, Paris, Boulogne, and Dieppe, shorter than any now formed or projected, a n d w i t h less sea voyaging, thus forming the g reat passenger route fro m I re l an d and Wales to France. Independently, I;;ever, of the great through traffic above alluded to, the local trade b e t ween th e v arious towns on the i n t en d e d li ne i s certainly of considerable importance and sufficient in itself to yield an ample return to the Shareholders. At Devizes centres the great western cloth trade; and whenthe railway communication to Melks ham and thence to Bath and Bristol is completed, a continuous stro un both of passengers and goods must pour into that town, from whence the only channel for their due transmis,ion eastwards will be afforded by the railroad now conteinpla ed. The importance of affording a direct and speedy transit for the communications between the western parts of this country , and the Continent must be obvious ; and when the large num ber of railways now in progress, both in Franco and Ireland, towards their respective coasts, are completed, this current of through traffic must be increased to an incalculable extent, between the above countries. The increasing trade and accom modation afforded at the ports of Dovor and Folkestone point out this line as pre-eminently adapted for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise destined for the Continent, especially to those by whom the shortness of the voyage by sea is considered as a preliminary to an excursion in France. Without entering into official details, it may be well to observe that the number of passengers em barking and disembarking annually at Folkestone and Dovor is of surprising extent ; whilst the traffic in merchandise since the opening of the railways from the metropolis, and the establishment of re gular passage vessels with the French coast, has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the great merchant traders. It is but rea sonable, therefore, to calculate, that when an equal facility is afforded fur Bristol (that long-established depot for the Irish and Welsh trade), and the important districts at present obliged either to com municate with Dovor and Folkestone by a circuitous route, or to ab stain entirely from the benefits of foreign trade, on account of the want of direct access, that the commercial interests of the Kentish coast will be immeasurably increased, au t a stimulus at the same time will be given to the western trade by a ready and reciprocal in tercourse with the Continent. In addition to the existing advantages which have thus been al ready alluded to in this prospectus, it should always be remembered that it is not to these only that speculators are entitled to look in cal culating on the profits of such an enterprise, but that they are in all cases fully justified in assuming a vast increase in the local traffic when the facilities for it shall be so greatly increased ; It having been invariably found that, upon the completion of a railroad, commerce and passengers have sprung up to use it to an extent never contem plated by its most sanguine promoters ; and not only has this taken place from towns already existent, but new neighbourhoods of im portance have arisen in the vicinity, thus showing that railways not only afford the medium of communication for previously established marts of trade, but have themselves the faculty of creating, where ever they pass, towns and markets for ther own support and the en richment of their enterprising proprietors. This line, which is intended to supily an important link in rail way communication hitherto overlooked, has no competing scheme either existent or projected with which to come in collision ; and from the inspection which has been made, the road is considered free from any great engineering difficulties, while, from the favourable sentiments of the landed proprietary on the route towards It, 110 opposition on their part need be anticipated. Active negotiations are on foot for the co-operation of the powerful companies affected by this projection, from which the most beneficial results are confi dently anticipated. A prospectus, containing the names of a powerful Committee and the officers, will be ready in a few days ; and in the mean time fur ther particulars may be obtained and applications for shares received at the temporary offices, 6, Liverpool-street, Broad-street, London.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land- is well known to all persons conversant with the island of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego By and Kingston occupies forty-four hours, and the costs, including e x p enses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger ; while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed In eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s._per passenger. - - The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the Island and England is such, that, independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the ad vantage of shipping at all times from • the very excellent harbour o Kingston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious :quay, to oe constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the island, at or near which point it is proposed to form a Junction with the Kingston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the 'most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of mountains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island; the east ern portion, from Port Mo, ant to Plantain Garden, is almost level; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple articles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye woods, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still un cultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dye stuffs, at present uninaported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously : there are mahogany, lignum vitae, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricul tural and household purposes and cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country ;Will; line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich, and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material. ne cessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tugs and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construction of the line will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports and the internal traffic a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given. It will be sufficient to state that coals, fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops, lead, timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and manufac tures gener.lly, form important sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, wad from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the Island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany, will enable the Directors In this cuunlry 4n ozercian aii emcieut control oVer the management of affairs in the Island.

HEROIC CONDUCT ON A RAILWAY.—Last Thursday one of the most providential escapes, as regards human life, occurred on the railway connected with the Bishopwearmouth iron works. The iron works in question extend over a vast extent of country, and, for the purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other, railways have been established, one of which is formed on an in clined plane, down which the heavily laden waggons are propelled at a fearful rate. On the morning of the above day, while one of the trains of waggons was passing down, two very old women, each being nearly seventy years of age, labouring under de fective sight sight as well as hearing, got on the line. A few seconds more they both must have inevitably been crushed to death. Their perilous situation was, however, witnessed by Mr. David Holsgrove, the overlooker of the works, who in an instant dashed forward and seized the two females, whom he threw off the line, and out of the way of danger. Unfortunately the engine at this instant came up, which knocked Mr. Holsgrove down, and he was picked up as dead. He was instantly conveyed to one of the buildings in the vicinity, and medical aid was sent for, when, upon examination, it was discovered that he had sustained several con tusions about the head, that both his arms were broken in two places, and also one of his legs, besides other injuries about the body. It is supposed that some part of the train must have gone over the limbs. Although so severely and dangerously injured, hopes are entertained of his recovery. The two females escaped without the slightest injury. DISTRESSING SUICIDE FROM SEDUCTION .On Saturday evening a coroner's inquest was held at the Black Horse, Lower-road, Deptford, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., on the body of a young female, named Mary Anne Robson, aged only nineteen, the daughter of one of the master shipwrights in the dockyard at Deptford, who committed suicide by throwing herself into the Surrey Canal on Thursday night. Mary Lake, the wife of a master smith in the dockyard, deposed that in consequence of the indisposition of the mother of the deceased, witness and her hus band went to lodge in the house of Mr. Robson. She had known the deceased for some months previously, and had only gone to live there after the deceased ran away from home about two months since. The deceased was a virtuous girl up to the time of her leaving her home, to which she returned about a fortnight since, after an absence of five weeks, A girl named Emily Skinner, who was frequently with the de ceased, left her home with her, and they had lived together with a young man, named Jones. Witness last saw deceased alive about six o'clock on Thursday, the day of her death. Since her return home, the deceased appeared much depressed in spirits. Emma Brown deposed that on Thursday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, she heard the splash of something heavy in the water. On hearing the splashing, witness went out and saw some person plunging about in the water; also heard the person moan heavily two or three times. Witness instantly raised an alarm, when several persons came to her assistance ; in the meantime, witness got a prop, but it was not of sufficient length t) 1 each the deceased. Witness found the bonnet, shawl, gloves, and •,,ocket-handkerchief of the deceased close by her door, The deceased was in the water about ten minutes. Emily Skinner, the young woman alluded to above, said she and deceased left home together, and went to reside in a common brothel in Fairy's-buildings, Bermondsey. They were taken there by a young womar whom they met at 'the St. Elelena Tea gardens at Rotherhithe. Whilst at the brothel was visited by a young mar , named Jones. On one occasion witness heard deceased threaten to make away with herself, but afterwards said she was only joking. Upon being closely questioned by the Coroner, the witness admitted having said, " Has she gone and done it? Oh 1 IV/ God, I must go and tell him, or else he will get into troub'e and me too," but she would not give any explana tion. This wf ness gave her evidence with great nonchalance. The Coroner saiu there was no doubt remorse, arising from the course of life she had been leading, had rendered her unhappy, and had led to this disastrous end. Ti e Jury returned a verdict of " Tem porary insanity." ARRIVAL OP Two LroNs.—Two of the finest lions ever imported into this country have arrived within the last few days, on board the John Bartlett, Captain Bartlett. It is very rarely that adult lions are imported, and these are truly splendid animals. They were landed yesterday, in St. Kathetine Docks, and conveyed tt. the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, by whose spirited proprietor they have been purchased. These are the second pair of lions deposited in the gardens within the last few weeks, making seven full-grown lions now in the gardens.

Queen VICTORIA has paid another complimentary visit to Lours PHILIPPE and his family at the Chateau d'Eu, where she was received with the most enthusiastic welcome from the Court, the troops, and the inhabitants of the district. The well-conditioned subjects of the two Sovereigns will feel gratified by these friendly in terviews, for after all, even in countries governed by Parliaments and constitutional laws, the chief magis trate has vast power, and many opportunities of swaying directly or indirectly the minds of those over whom he is placed. The example of persons in high life is in time imitated by their inferiors : the warm friendship therefore which ex ists between the Royal Families of Great Britain and France, it may be anticipated, will extend its in fluence to other classes, and wear off those absurd and bigotted national prejudices which are the bane of civilized nations as well as barbarians. The QUEEN of these realms, to her credit, led the way some two years ago ; she landed on the French coast with little more ceremony than that observed by pri vate individuals, and by her simplicity of manners, her affable deportment, and the confidence which she placed in the honour and hospitality of our gallant neighbours, made a deep and friendly impression on the public mind of France. But LOUIS PHILIPPE is not less entitled to praise—perhaps he has the greatest merit—for a large portion of his people look but coldly on English alliance, and not a few of them consider that France has many grievances to be removed and many complaints to urge against the policy generally pursued by the English Ca binet. Aware, however, that such complaints were not well founded, he put every objection on this score aside, and gave a reception to her Britannic MAJESTY, which could leave no doubt among Frenchmen that his heart was engaged in the cause, and that it was one of the great objects of his long and varied life to establish unity between two nations which have such vast in fluence in the government of the world. The present visit is one of a similar character. From all accounts it was suggested by his MAJESTY, the invitation was warmly accepted by the QUEEN, and the interview will not be the less prized by the two countries because it was not expected, and resembles rather the meeting of private friends than that of the two first Sovereigns of the world. We trust the omen is good, and that this amicable intercourse will not be without its influence in the political relations of England and France. It was but a vain hope, it seems, that we expressed about six or seven weeks ago, in commenting upon the great Orange demonstration, as it was called, which had then been exhibited at the Enniskillen meeting, where ladies of rank and distinguished beauty and station lent the influence of their presence to sanc tion what was known to be an illegal assemblage, preceded by illegal precessions. It was, we admit, our belief as well as our hope, that after a brief season of calm reflection, following the mo mentary excitement of an ill-judged commemoration like that of the 12th of July, the excellent feelings of the warm-hearted people of those portions of Ireland over which Orangeism is most extensively diffused, would sober down to that tone of forbearance and repose which best becomes the truly loyal ---------- e subjects of a cons tit u ti on al Q U EEN. Th e inter ,„les gs of the common wea l t h necessar ily s uffer in the stru i , of parties to revive the ill-omened recollections of forrf o victories on th e one s id e an d d e f ea t s on the other. °Oll when with th ese reco ll ect i ons , d ee p-rooted and anciii.o differences of reli g i ous o pi n i on; a traditionary zeal rind one sect, and inflexibl e bi go t r y w ith a nother; and inbeillid, associations of mutual a n i mos ity and persecutions "p it both, are mixed up in almo s t inseparable combine° n'ol is evident that mere comme m orations of the ki nd e8 :0 be publicly celebrated without placing the publ ic P be , in imminent jeopardy. The evil extends, howev er ' 0 yond this immediate result. In every 41110er:1.0i o: other recurrence of the ceremonial, e ', ,,hi l impetus is given to the g r ow th of dissensions, vilt,, should be the object of all state policy, :all good eill' A ship, and all Christian charity, to extinguish rivo than to perpetuate. To the Enniskillen mee ti* o p. Orange soirée of Thursday last, at the Belfast gusif,,,e was but a natural pendant. It is the curse of 'id foolish excesses of partisanship, that a vital ene Tte reproduction is the principle of their existence. bo are polypes which one process of excision 'Ol of violent annihilation does but multiply- oicor Belfast soiree was b u t a typ e of th e great Orang e . ye l trosity in its renewed germ. As such we deplore i cerr i we can do no more .
