Wyndham, Rev. J. H. ENGINEER—I. K. BRUNEL, Esq. This Company has been formed by the principal Landed Pro. prietors, Manufacturers, and others, interested in the prosperity of the coun'ies and of the towns through or near to which the in tended Railway is to pass. It is projected for the purpose of con necting the great agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing districts and towns of Wiltshire and Somersetshire, with each other, and with the towns of Dorchester, Weymouth, and Bridport, and the whole of them with every part of the Kingdom, by means of a Junction with the Great Western Railway, and with other lines, either already existing or about to be immediately constructed. To effect the above purposes, it is proposed to construct a line from the Great Western Railway, from the neighbourhood of Corsham, through Melksham (with branches to Devises and Bradford) to Trowbridge and Westbury, whence one line passes through Warminster, and the Valley cf the Wily, to Wilton and Salisbury, and the other diverges to Frome, Bruton, Castle Carey, Yeovil, Dorchester, NVeymouth and Bridport. The length of the direct line, from the Great Western Railway, to Salisbury, will be 37i miles; from Melksham to Devises, seven miles; from Staverton to Bradford, two miles; from the point of Junction at Westbury (which is 151 miles from Corshaan) to Yeovil, thirty-two miles, and from Yeovil to Weymouth, 4 Ltwenty. seven miles. The distance to Bridport will be about ten miles from the main line between Y oval and Dorchester. A most important mineral district, providing coals to all the towns and surrounding country, is within eight miles of Frowns; and, it is certain, that a very extensive and profitable trade will be secured to the whole line by constructing a coal branch line from Frorne to Radstock (near to which some of the principal Somerset shire collieries are situated, yielding an abund nt supply for the manufacturing districts, as well as for all the towns through which this railway will pass), which measure is consequently to form a part of the plan of this Company. The line has been most carefully surveyed and laid down, by Mr. Brunel ; and the principal landowners, with very few excep. lions, have been seen, and are known to be anxious for the success of the undertaking. The country is for the most part unusually favorable for the purposes of a Railway ; the works are extremely light upon the e ater extent of it, and the co nstruction of the line will be as 8• - cheap which has been yet kno w n of a similar extent,—not exceeding average of 11,0001. per mile ; with eas y g radients, .7 any a and well adapted to economical working in connexion with the Great Western Line, and the Board of Trade expressed their pro visional approval of tins undertaking on public grounds. Tables of the revenue have been prepared, from a very accurate and careful investigation, of the present local traffic; and, after making deduction of every doubtful source of trade, the annual returns may be confidently estimated to produce a return of 6 per cent. at least on the proposed capital, which has been proved, to the satisfaction of the Great Western Directors, who have assumed it as the basis of a recommendation to their proprietors for the guarantee. The existing traffic along the main and diverging lines, com prises, independently of passengers, extensive supplies of corn, wool, cattle, coal, timber, a nd other goods, for the agricultural and manufacturing wants of the district, and would, by the increased facilities and diminished cost of transport affbrded by Railway con. veyance, be very greatly enlarged. The sea-ports of Weymouth and :Bridport will furnish ready means for obtaining a direct export and import trade with all parts of the world. Weymouth, toe, is a favourite watering-place, resorted to from all quarters, and in the direct course to the Channel Islands. It is proposed that the line should he worked by the Great W es tern Railway Company, e ither under lease, or by such other arrangements as may be mutually agreed upon between the two Companies. The Great Western Railway Comp to the y have agreed that they will, in consider ation thereof, guarantee Propri tors, Four per Cent. per annum, Upon the paid up capital ; and that an increase of one.half per cent. in proportion, to any dividend of one per cent. upon their own stock, exceeding eight per cent., shall be payable to the Proprietors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, in addition to the guaranteed rate. The capital will be raised in 30,000 shares of 5 0 1• each, upon which a deposit of 2.1. 10s, per share will be paid upon sirbscrip tion, and no further call will be made previously to obtaining the Act of Incorporation. Interest, at the rate of 41. per cent, per annum will be allowed on the deposit, and on all paid up calls, during the construction of the line, and until the dividends are provided for under the /uarante:° Of the Great Western Railway Company. If the Act should not be obtained, the deposit will be paid back to the propr;Ctors, without deduction. Application may be made to Mr. John Saunders, at the Company's Office, Trow bridge ; also to the Secretary of the Greg Western Railway Company, at the Paddington or Bristol stations ; J r to any of the following Bankers and Solicitors. Unexceptionable references must by given, where the parties applying for shares are not personally known or locally interested in the line. SOUTHAMPTON AM) DORSETSHIRE RAILWAY.

This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the south-western part of the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no. minated to inquire Into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsone, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers given him, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : " Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap. tails Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. •* Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus. titled in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham. worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic upon the line is sufficient to lease a clear net profit of not less than 6&1. per cent. during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be flally understood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Corn. pany should be formed with a capital of 450,0001., in shares of 50/. each. Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to It out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in Order to provide bridges and land fot a double line, in increasing the capital to 500,0001., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa. mination Into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. Als arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has )teen made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing 3i per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cazenove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, solicitors, Ringwood ; and to Gilbert Stephens, Esq., )3, Northumberland-street, Charing-cross, London ; Messrs. Henning and Andrews, Weymouth ; Messrs.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. NORWICH. During the past year loud and general have been the v'auntings and boastings of the Tories in this city, that they would oust the Whigs from the corpora tion at this election. At the Tory feeds toasts of the candidates and success to theni have been drank with uproarious applause. The registration was warmly and attentively attended to by both parties— the (lay of election looked forward to eagerly by the doubtful men of both sides. The Whigs went quietly on, confident of their own strength, relying on their proper management of the city affairs for the support of the rate-payers. The result has fully justified them in that opinion. The only wards contested ' were the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Wards, in all of which the Tories received a sound flogging. The following is the result : First Ward.—No opposition ; Edward Steward, Esq., and Mr. John Baker, Tories. Second Ward.—No opposition ; Wm. Freeman, Esq. (Mayor), and Osborn Springfield, Esq., Whigs. Third Ward.—No opposition ; John Godwin John son, Esq., and George Arthur Dye, Esq., Tories. Fourth Ward.—John Barwell, Esq., 117, 11'hig; Mr. C. It. Freeman ; 117, Whig ; Mr. Benjamin Cundall, 76, Tory ; and Mr. Henry Browne, 75, Tory. Fifth Ward.—Mr. W. K. Farnell, 119, Whig ; Samuel Bignold, Esq., 66, Tory; Mr. James Hardy, 52, Tory. Sixth Ward.—Mr. Richard Bullard, 183, Whig ; Mr. Wm. Henry Woolbright, 182, Whig; Mr. Hall Browne, 121, Tory; and Mr. Henry Hindes, 120, Tory. Seventh Ward.—No opposition ; Thomas Osborn Springfield, Esq., Whig, and J. Henry Tillett, Whig. Eighth Ward.—Peter Finch, Esq., Whig, and John Ferra Watson, Esq., Whig. The Fourth Ward was not warmly contested, and neither parties polled their full strength; but if they had so done the Whigs would have had a much larger majority than now. The Sixth Ward was "the fight"—both parties had been strenuously exert ing themselves before and during the registration. At the last election, through very bad management on the part of the Whigs, they lost the ward, but this year the candidates selected (more particularly Mr. Bullard, the first appearance of that gentleman as a candidate for corporation honours) threw terror into the enemy's camp. The polling for the first hour gave the Whigs a small majority. At this time the Tories began their old game—five, six, and seven pounds were given for a vote, and had not a reinforce ment of working men from other wards arrived at the very nick of time Tory bribery might have suc ceeded, but the activity of Mr. Bullard and his band of friends proved too much for it, and it gradually gave way to the real feeling of the ward, in a tri umphant majority of 62 in favour of the Whigs. After the elections the electors in the Whig inte rest in the various wards dined with their several councillors, the principal meeting being at the Norfolk Hotel, where 130 gentlemen, under the pre sidency of the Mayor, Wm. Freeman, Esq., spent a delightful evening. This is the eighth election under the Municipal Act, and the Tories, who, when first they lost the corporation, reckoned again on obtaining it in the first three years., are now as far off as ever. tradesman was left undismayed—not a stray vote was left unsolicited, or uncounted at the poll. In short, we believe that they never brought so many votes to the poll upon any occasion of a serious contest. We believe that at no former period were so many dragged up to the polling place as on the present oc casion. 'I hey brought sick men out of their beds, and dragooned tradesmen from their business to swell their numbers. However, these, and all the other ruses in St. Mary's could not succeed—and in spite of Bribery, of intimidation, of treating on a most profligate scale, of promises, of interference by every public depart ment, and by every public company under Tory ma nagement, the hopes of the Tories in St. Mary's have received their death-blow in the defeat of Mr. Mab son and his associates, in spite of the greatest exer tions ever made by a man or by a party. We have said all along that this would be the great, the deci sive struggle of the year, and the ejection of two Tory councillors from this ward, and the substitution of two staunch Liberals in their stead by the greatest number of voters that ever yet polled in the ward. not only puts an end for ever to the hopes of the mo nopolists in that ward, but opens out a fair chance for following up in the other wards the success thus so auspiciously begun.—Hampshire Independent.

' MANCHESTER. _Friday, being the Ist of November, was the day appointed by the Municipal Act., for the election of councillors in the place of those retiring from office. The polling places appropriated for the respective wards were opened at nine o'clock for the polling to commence, but only three of the wards were con tested. The following is the result of the elections : New Cress Ward---In this ward there were two vacancies, occasioned by the retirement of Messrs. Henry Day and William Hanley. Five candidates were nominated. The Liberal candidates were Mr. J o hn Woodfall, glass-manufacturer, and Mr. William Howarth, coal-dealer ; the Conservative candidates, Mr. George Peel (of the firm of Messrs. Peel, Wil liams, and Peel), and Mr. Thomas Lewis Williams, manufacturer, 'Ugh-street. Mr. John Hewitt, coach builder and proprietor, Store-street and Ardwick, was also put in nomination by the Chartists. The election took place at the police-station, Kirby-street, Isling ton; Mr. Alderman Walker presiding. The contest was carried on with considerable spirit, and the poll was kept open until four o'clock. Messrs. Peel and Williams are there the successful candidates. St. Michael's Ward—This was one of the contested wards. The retiring candidate was Mr. George Wil son, who was nominated by the Liberals for re-elec tion. The opposing candidate in the Conservative interest was Mr. Charles Ashmore, grocer and pro vision-dealer, Harpurhey. The polling took place at the Police-station, Oldham-road; Mr. Alderman Brooks presiding. The contest for this ward excited a great degree of interest, and both parties exerted themselves to the utmost to return their candidate. At the close of the poll, at four o'clock, Mr. Wilson had a majority of seven votes, and is consequently elected. As soon as the result was known, cheers were given by a number of his friends assembled in the room. Mr. Chew, of Ilarpurhey, on the part of the Conservatives, afterwards intimated to the assessors, that a scrutiny of the votes would be de • manded. St. John's Ward—For the vacancy in this ward, occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Thomas Bazley, jun., there were two candidates. The Liberal can didate was Mr. John Simpson, gentleman, Tonman street, who was opposed by Air. John Woollam, late beroughreeve of Manchester, in the Conservative interest. The election took plate at the Hop-pole Inn, Hardman-street; the Mayor presiding. The contest was carried on with some spirit until one o'clock, when, in consequmce of the majority being so decidedly in favour of Mr. Woollam, the Liberals consented to an arrangement that no more votes should be taken, and at two o'clock the poll was closed. Exchange Ward —There were two candidates nominated for this ward, to supply the acancy occa sioned by the retirement of Mr. Richard Wilson— namely, Mr. Thomas Goadsby, oil and colour-dealer, Albert Placo, in the Liberal interest ; and Mr. Wm. Gibb, distiller, who, it was said, was put in nomina tion by the Conservatives. No votes, however, were tendered for Mr. Gibb, and consequently Mr. Goadsby is returned without opposition. In the following wards there was no opposition, and all the candidates returned are Liberals : Collegiate Church Ward—Mr. Joseph Sutcliffe, silk manufacturer, High street, has been elected, in place of Mr. P. T. Candelet, retired. St. Clement's Ward—Mr. R. G. Stracey, the re tiring councillor for this ward, has been re-elected. Oxford Ward—Mr. Thomas Gatenby has been re elected.

The Ist of November turned out precisely as we had expected, The Tories have retained possession of all the minor wards without even a show of a con test. In the ward of All Saints, too, where the Tories have so long held sway, they have been again success ful, although they were tolerably well frightened by some wag, or wags, who put forward at the eleventh hour the names of two Liberal and two Tory candi dates as opponents of the four regularly chosen men of the Corruptionist camp. Although in the present case this must certainly have been meant in a joke— and from whence it emanated it is not easy to deter mine—vet if fully and fairly carried out there is little doubt of its being entirely successful. But there is really an apathy and a carelessness on the part of liberal and independent men about municipal affairs that makes it alrgo*t hopeless to expect anything like serious and well-continued opposition in this ward to the dominant party. This time, however, they have been thoroughly frightened, although not hurt—and thpy polled ail their available strength.

The two retiring councillors were Tories, and two Liberals (Messrs. John Murray and W. Carling), and one Tory (Mr. J. M. Cooper), were in the field. An active canvass was prosecuted, and the utmost exer tions used by both parties, but although Mr. Murray was returned by a considerable majority, Mr. Carling r was rejected by a majority of one.

WORCESTER: Here the vacancies were twelve, of which number ten were polled by Liberals, and two by Tories, THE LORD MAYOR ELECT. The Lord Chancellor having appointed Saturday morning at eleven o'clock to give her Majesty's ap probation to the election of Mr. Alderman Gibbs to the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London for the year ensuing, the present Lord Mayor, Sir William Magnay, Bart., the Sheriffs, Recorder, Chamberlain, several Aldermen, and most of the civic officers, arrived at his Lordship's house, in George street, Hanover-square, at a quarter before eleven o'clock, and were ushered into the State drawing-room. At eleven o'clock, the Lord Chancellor, preceded by his mace and sword hearer, entered the room, when. The RECORDER said—My Lord Chancellor, I have the honour to present to your Lordship Michael, Gibbs, Esq., Alderman and Fishmonger, whom the citizens of London have elected to be their Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year. The election of Mr. Gibbs has been conducted with all due regard to the ancient charters and customs of the City, and that gentleman has been almost unanimously elected to the civic chair. With regard to the fitness and ability of Mr. Gibbs to fill the high office of Lord Mayor there could not be a doubt. In early life he was engaged in successful commercial transactions, and as far back as the year 1818 he was chosen a member of the Court of Common Council, and his re election was never opposed. Mr. Gibbs was in 1833 elected Alderman of Walbrook ward, and he had per formed the duties of a magistrate of the city of London with the greatest credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the public. After the passing of the New Poor-law Bill; Mr. Alderman Gibbs was elected Chairman of the City of London Poor-law Union, which contained no less than ninety-two parishes, Mr. Gibbs had given the greatest satisfaction in per forming the duties of that responsible office, and had every year be en re - appo i nte d ; that was not all, for eight years the Lord Mayor elect had been Chair man of the Commissioners of Sewers; he was annu ally elected, and his services were not only duly ap preciated, but he had received the thanks of the Com missioners for his zeal and attention. Mr. Gibbs had also served the high and important office of Sheriff of London and .Middlesex, with the greatest credit to himself, and with satisfaction to his fellow citizens ; as, on his retiring from that office, he re ceived an unanimous vote of thanks from the Livery in Common-hall assembled. It was after twenty five years' experience that the Livery of London had sent Mr. Alderman Gibbs's name to the Court of Aldermen for Chief Magistrate,and that Court had con firmed the choice. He (the Recorder) in conclusion, might say that the experience, skill, and ability of the Lord Mayor elect could not be doubted. He was in every way qualified to perform the duties of chief magistrate of the city of London, and he thought that those duties would be performed in a manner equal to any of his predecessors, and perhaps never surpassed. In the execution of his high functions Mr. Alderman Gibbs he was convinced would show his loyalty tr.;the Crown, and he was equally certain that the Lord Mayor elect would be faithful to his fellow‘eitiaens. In conclusion, the Recorder prayed most respectfully her Majesty's gracious approbation to the choice the . Livery had made of Lord Mayor of the city of London for the year ensuing. The LORD CnascEr.r.on said—My Lord Mayor elect, I have great pleasure in congratulating you on your appointment to the high offiee of Lord Ma , ; or of London. It is an office of great importuice and dignity, and one which I have no doubt will be fully sustained in your hands, And I have the satisfaction of stating to you and those assembled that her Ma jesty fully approves and confirms the choice the Livery. of London have made in the election of chief magis trate for the year ensuing. His Lordship then, in a most friendly manner, shook hands with the Lord Mayor elect, and the other civic functionaries. The members of the corporation present partook of biscuits and wine, and immediately afterwards retired. The whole ceremony did not occupy half au hour. KIDNAPPING OF GERMAN CHILDREN. Some days since the Rev. Mr. Cappel, minister of the German Lutheran Church, Goodman's-fields, waited upon Mr. Henry, at Lambeth-street, to ascot., tain if he could exercise his magisterial authority to prevent the present disgraceful system of iror,orting German children into this country by a set •Zworth less fellows, who manage to live in luxury and idle ness by their exertions, and who, beyond turning their industry to profitable account, pay not the 'lightest attention to their moral conduct or character. The Rev. Gentleman informed Mr. Henry of a case in which the conduct of a man named Winter towards a German girl was highly improper, and which having obtained publicity in the London journals, was copied into the German papers, and created the most lively interest amongst the highest classes in that country. Indeed so great was the interest, created on the sub ject, that a communication had been made to Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister in this country; and it was by the desire of that distinguished personage that he (the Rev. Mr. Capp e l) h a d waited upon his worship. Mr. Henry at that time informed the Rev. Gentleman that he would be most happy, if the law enabled him to do so, to put an end to the system complained of ; but the truth was, that he had no power even to check it. The evil complained of could only be put an end to in Germany, where it was necessary to obtain passports for the removal of these children, and where, if a proper surveillance was adopted, such persons as Winter might be punished. Mr. Henry informed the Rev. Gentleman, that if any case came under his notice, where the treatment of those children should be the subject, he would take care and communicate with him. Since that time, Mr. Henry received a note and document from a gentleman in the country, and having sent for the Rev. I\lr. Cappel, read them in his presence. The following are the documents : " Sir,—Having seen in the daily papers an account of an application to you by the Rev. Mr. Cappel, re lative to a case in which a person of the name of Philip Winter was concerned, I beg to inform you this Philip Winter was fined in September, at Kingswin ford, 10s. for cruelty to a dog, and at Wolverbamp. ton, 20s. for a like offence, a week afterwards. I send you an agreement, of which there were many in his possession, together with the application of the Rev. Mr. Cappel, in April last at your Court. I consider the agreement so precious a proof of English volun tary slavery, that I asked permission to keep one copy with its threepenny receipt stamp attached. " J. It." The following is the extraordinary document al luded to. It is written on a sheet of foolscap, with a sixpenny receipt stamp pasted at the top so as to form a part:— " We separately and jointly do agree to become servants to Mr. Philip Winter, and to hold in pos session one piano, and also one tamborine, and be ser vants to the said Philip Winter for two years certain. That we the said Susan Grimes and Ann Vivian be supported during the ensuing two years by the said Philip Winter—viz., in clothing and food, as yearly servants to the said Philip Winter; that the said piano and also the said tamborine, which we have now in our possession, we acknowledge to be the property of our said master, Philip Winter, who has this d ay intrusted the same into our care as servants, and in . full possession thereof, which we the said Susan Grimes and Ann Vivian do agree to return, and in default of the said Susan Grimes and Ann Vivian not acting up to this agreement, that the said Philip Win.. ter shall have full power and authority to take po s ession of the said property, and also to bring each and every of the said parties before any magistrate cm magistrates in any county or place the said Se san Grimes or the said Ann \ ivian may b e.
