At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of this town and neigh. bourhood, convened by public requisition, and held here this day, The Rev. WM. POIVELL Vicar of Abergavenny, in the Chair, It was proposed by Mr. DANIEL, seconded by Mr. ISAAC, and uhani• mously resolved— That this meeting, being deeply convinced of the necessity and ad vantage of direct railway communication between the town of Abergavenny and the great iron district of Momneuthshire and Breconshire, and finding that this district is embraced in the grand scheme of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, does most cordially approve of its plans, and is determined to render it all the aid it can command. WILLIAM POWELL, Chairman. It was proposed by Mr. J. 11. Monoart, seconded by Mr. W. W. SECEETAN, awl unaimously resolved— That the thanks of this meeting be offered to the Chairman. THE DIRECT LONDON AND DUBLIN RAILWAY COMPANY (PILBROW'S ATMOSPERIC). Performing the whole distance in ten kourl. (Provisionally Registered.) Offices, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house. In Shares of 251. each. Deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per Share. It has been stated by the highest official authbrity during the last session, that the most direct and speedy communication between the English and Irish capitals is a desideratum of the Government; and the object of the present undertaking is to afford this accommodation, which, from the best evidence, can, no doubt, be effected by the passage from Porthdynllaen to Kingstown direct: It has, there fore, been determined to adopt this line ; and the Committee have the satisfaction to state that they are encouraged to do so by many of the leading proprietors and influential noblemen and gentlemen in North Wales, and the south and west of England and Ireland. The line to be formed will commence by a junction, at Birming ham, with the London and Birmingham Railway; thence it will pro ceed, as nearly as possible, in a straight direction to Porthdynllaen, passing through or close by Dudley, Shrewsbury, Bala, and other principal towns on the route. The importance, nay, the necessity of such a line has long been felt, not only by the merchant, but also by:the statesman. This, therefore, may fairly be considered a great national undertaking; opening facilities for the most expeditious transit between the two capitals, it will at the same time offer a most direct communication with the south of Ireland, via Wicklow; thus conferring an immense benefit on the public at large. Hitherto, the nature of some of the districts to be traversed has been generally considered as opposing obstacles too formidable for locomotive transit ; which circumstance accounts for the principa lity having thus continued without the advantage of a railway. Happily, however, such are the advances of science, that the atmo spheric can surmount that which is denied the locomotive power ; and in this respect the plan proposed at once removes every objection that has been raised against this easy mode of traction. It avoids the necessity of tunnelling, and greatly reduces the cost of construc tion ; and further, it prevents the possibility of accidents by fire or collision. Very great obstacles have hitherto existed, and still exist, in the way of a communication between Bangor and Holyhead ; but by the proposed route the great difficulty and expense of crossing the Menai Straits are avoided, while the extent of the country to be traversed will be much shorter than by Chester and Holyhead, even were the bridge already established ; which, it is very generally ap prehended, will beproductive of great hindrance and danger to the navigation. This fact is fully confirmed by Captain Beaufert's report made to the Railway Commissioners of Ireland. The distance between Porthdynllaen and Kingstown is about six and a half miles further that between Kingstown and Holyhead ; but inconsequence of the position of the latter place being two or three points to leeward of the acknowledged prevailing gales of St. George's Channel, a shorter passage can be made, on an average, throughout the year, from Porthdynllaen. This also is confirmed by Captain Beaufort, as rs , ferred to In the masterly report made by Sir John Rennie ; in which, after going into details (coinciding in every material point with the opinions of Mr. Page and others), Sir John concludes with a general summary of the case—" That it is two points further to windward than Holyhead," and, to use the expressive words of Captain Beaufort, " has a fair wind both ways to and from Kingstown." This is particularly important, because it enables the passage to be made in equal, if not less time, than from Holyhead, although the distance is rather greater, and is not less important to maintain the communication between the two countries, during the stormy wilder season, with as much speed and es little interruption as possible. There are many other, and, perhaps, equally important reasons, for preference being given to Porthdynllaen (some are mentioned in the second report of the House of Commons upon the subject of rail ways in Ireland), but they are too numerous to mention in a prelimi nary prospectus. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landholders and others locally interested ; the subscribers will be held liable only for the amount of their first deposit until an Act of Parliament be obtained; afterwa'rds only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee have great pleasure in announcing that the engineers are completing their surveys, and that influential names will be advertised in a few days.

Webster Roams —The Union Bank of London, This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway in extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall terminate at or near King's-cross, and the line will proceed from thence to a point at or:near Furnivars:lnn and Holborn Bars, where it is proposed to erect a great central metropolitan terminus. This terminus will form the north front of a considerable portion of the widest part of Holborn, between Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane. The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the concen tration of the traffic of all the railways issuing from London, either to the north or in a north-easterly or north-westerly direction. The situation, moreover, presents very great facilities for exten sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of London. The property necessary to be taken for the line and terminus is not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with ally existing buildings of ally consequence. The surveys are in a state of forwardness, and will be ready to enable the Company to proceed to Parliament next session. The capital has been fixed at 800,0001., but the estimates hitherto received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller sum may suffice. A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to scrip holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta blished as a separate undertaking. Applications for shares may be addressed in the meantime to the Solicitors, in the following form : FORM OF APPLICATION. To the Provisional Committee of the Holborn Terminus Company.

The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of Management with the Board of Directors' of the Midland Railway ; Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon, the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members of the Boards of the two Companies. The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are 1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market llarborough to Northampton, being :he original South Midland 2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and pas:ling by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and 3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to Huntingdon. The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is necessary that the deposit of 1/. 2s. already paid on the South Midland shares should be increased to 2/. 2s. It is also neces sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia mentary deeds executed. • The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further sum of it. per share on the shares respectively held by them, and for this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's ofilees, Leicester, the scrip now 'held by them, together with an application for registry and exchange in the annexed form, on or before the 18th day of October next. The requisite order to one of the Company's bankers to receve the increased deposit will be issued within three days after the registry of the scrip, and on the production of the bankers' receipt and the execution of the new Parliamentary contract, the new scrip cer tificates will be issued. All scrip in respect of which the shareholders shall fall to take the necessary steps for payment of the required deposit within the specified period will be forfeited.

The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay,: and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro • coed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate. By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that too by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lints. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the Mid land, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Continent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route through tile metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to Sheerness, Margate, llamsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail way, thereby shortening the journey and avoiding the sea. The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of a -commitnication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need flirther observation ; and the Commit tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham 12 miles, about ....... Faversham to Herne Bay .. •..

Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from Faversham to Margate. The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of man y of them that the promoters ha ve projected it. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoull hereafter render it ad visable.

This railway is intended to commence at or near Buckfastleigh, and to join the South Dovon Railway at Ford, near Newton ; dis tance, ten miles. This railway, by forming a direct communication with the great trunk line of the county, will open for the manufacturing towns of Ashburton and :Buckfastleigh, and the adjacent agricultural district, the readiest access to the ports of Teignmouth and Torquay, and to the important and increasing markets which these towns and the other watering places on ihe south coast, as well as Newton, present for the disposal of all kinds of agricultural produce. Ashburton and the surrounding district, rich in mineral wealth, only require a cheap and easy mode of transit to unfold ,their trea sures, which have hitherto been raised only sparingly, in conse quence of the expense of laud carriage. Within the average distance of two miles of Ashburton are thirteen lime kilns. at which are now burnt annually above 50,000 hogshead.; of lime. Five &ate quarries, in some of which the slate is of the best quality, and has received the approval of some of the first London architects. And within the district which would derive benefit from this railroad, are six tin and copper mines in work, and three more are now about to be worked. The manufactured goods of Ashburton and the adjacent district are of very considerable value—the woollen manufacture alone gives em ployment to nearly 3,000 persons. Large quantities of timber are annually felled and sent to the sea coast, from the wooded district at the back of Ashburton. It has been ascertained that the number of persons travelling from this district to and from the east of Ashburton, amounts to about one thousand weekly. The romantic scenery of the Dart, near Ashburton, now attracts yearly a great influx of visitors. The opening of this railway would, by bringing the banks of the Dart within easy access of Exeter, and all the watering places on the southern coast, doubtless much Increase the number. _ _ _ To the manufacturer and merchant, the formation of this railway would afford a great boon, by establishing a cheap and easy transit for their goods; to the agriculturist, the saving of one-seventh in the present price of lime would offer a manifest advantage ; and on the inhabitants of the district generally great benefit would be conferred by the reduction of at least 25i. per cent. in the price of coal and other articles. The Provisional Committee, after careful inquiries as to the antici pated traffic, have reason to believe that the net return will pay a handsome rate of interest on the capital required. The population of the district to be benefited by this railway is above 16,000 The line presents no,engineering difficulties. The Directots of the South Devon Railway Company with the authority of a general meeting of their Proprietors, have agreed to take shares to a considerable amount, and are acting in cordial co operation with the Provisional Committee. The arrangements with the South Devon Board embrace a pfovision for leasing the line on its completion to that Company, and provide for the supervision of the planning and construction of the line by Mr. Brunel. The advantages of attracting to this undertaking the important combination of interests represented by the South Devon Company and its numerous alliances will be readily appreciated. Power will be sought by the Act of Incorporation to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. No liability will be incurred by any Shareholder beyond the amount of his shares. Applications for shares may be made to the Provisional Com mittee, at their office, East-street, Ashburton; or to the Solicitors, Mr. Tucker, or Mr. George Caunter, Ashburton ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, New Bank-buildings, Lon don ; Messrs. Houghiand and Leese, Manchester ; Mr. Thomas For syth, Liverpool ; Mr. Anthony Lawrie, Liverpool ; Robert Allan Esq., St. Andrew's-square, Edinburgh ; Mr. Pembroke, and Messrs : May and Co., Exeter ; Mr. Luke Arnold, Bristol ; and Messrs.

This railway is intended to branch out of the Oxford and Rugby line at Southern, and proceed in a direct course to Coventry, there to form a junction with the lines diverging from that city to the Trent Valley Railway, at Nuneaton, and to Leicester, Burton•upon- Trent, and ➢ianchester. %The main objects of this railway'are —First, to complete an im portant link in the chain of communication between Manchester and the improving port of Southampton by the nearest possible route, the great and increasing traffic between which two important parts of the kingdom this railway must necessarily embrace. Secondly. It will afford important local advantages by Connecting the city of Coventry and neighbourhood (containing a population of upwards of 50,000 inhabitants), and the valuable and extensive manufacturing, mineral, and agricultural districts, particularly the extensive coal fields, stone quarries, and limeworks of Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, with Southam, Ban bury, Woodstock, Oxford, Southampton, and the intermediate and surrounding country, affording to those several districts all the ad vantages of direct railway communication, in lieu of the present cir cuitous route by canal. It is confidently expected that the local traffic alone, independently of the vast through traffic from Man chester to Southampton, will be amply remunerative to the share holders, whilst the great reduction which this railway will effect in the price of coals and other mineral productions must prove highly advantageous to the public. The survey of the line is in progress, and the country is unusually favourable. Application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation will be made In the next session. The Provisional Directors reserve to themselves the right of amalgamating or making arrangements with other companies. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Par liament, which will be applied for next session, to allow interest at 41. per cent. on the deposit, and the liability of shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions. Applications for prespectuses and shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers :—"Aressm. P. W. Thomas and Son, 50, Threadneedle-street, London ; Brown and Clarke, or J.

The line, in Its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wllsdon, NVilsdon Green, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maide Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chintbrd, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Horton, Homerton, Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalaton, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith, Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &e. ; connecting those places with the various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames. The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the Lendon and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 15 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4 1 /, miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9 1 ,4 miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6 miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agri9ultaral district, avoiding all ornamental property and large colleeti ?us of houses and lmildintrs. upqn.lhe completiop railway, a larg, 111,1 t1a112,•-increastng Islll .49,1. - rely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto idiom( a- a return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled In value.

From the conveyance of passengers. ~. .. ...... _ 2.

This magazine opens as usual with a continuation of the "History of St. Giles and St. James." St. Giles , has been sent off to the borough of Liquorish, to join young St. James, whose return for that borough is being contested by a rich parvenu. The van in which he is proceeding to his destination is upset, and St. Giles, and various drunken musicians, who are of the party, aro tumbled into a ditch. Having extricated his com panions, St. Giles proceeds for assistance to a neigh bouring cottage, which he finds tenanted by Capstick, the muffin-maker, who, having made his fortune and lest his wife, had built himself this cottage, which, out of respect to the memory of Diogenes, he had named " The Tub," and who had taken Bright Jem to live with him. St. Giles has previously met Kitty Muggs, now the widow of Caesar Gum, whose son is - a footboy in the service of one of the Marquis of St. James's daughters, so that we are getting gradually back among our old acquaintance. "Serving the People" is a pendant to tho paper which appeared in the last number on " Serving the Country," and is well worthy the attention of all those who wish well to the cause of that social re formation which has already begun, and which it is the glorious mission of this magazine to urge onward. " The Englishman in Prussia" makes some very curious revela tions as to the self-sufficient selfish bureaucracy, which, by means of its secret police and its organised spy system, holds paramount sway in that country alike over the monarch and the people. Of the "History for Young England" we have the seventh chapter, which is devoted to the early English Churchmen from the fourth to the ninth century. It displays great research and much critical acumen. The friends of "Legitimacy" would have acted wisely had they consented quietly to let the statue of Cromwell take its place among those of the other chief magistrates of England. Such papers as " Cromwell in the Shades," in the present number of this magazine, cannot but tell with damaging effect upon the "right divine of kings to govern wrong." In another part of this number we have on this subject the following magnificent sonnet—a sonnet which would not have been unworthy of the muse of " that blind man eloquent" who, as Foreign Secretary to the Common wealth, achieved as mighty victories for his country with the pen, as his Highness the Lord Protector had done with the sword:— ON THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF THE STATUE OF OLIVER CROMWELL FROM THE NEW PAR LIAMENT HOUSE. O EnglishpeopTe,That in Time's long date, Slow piling stone on stone, have raised on high A stately house of freedom, where to lie Secure and smile, though kings beat at the gate : Do not, in this your ease, do not forget Those your forefathers, that in times gone by Did toil and sweat, and all their lives long ply At the foundations of your free estate. Hutchinson—Vane--Hampden, that with his blood Mortared the stones, and that chief architect, Oliver Cromwell, he whose heavy hand Smote the false Stuart.

"Ireland and her Church " (second article) ; " Poetical Remains of the late Mrs. James Gray ;" "New Zealand ;" " The Asthetical Con dition of England;" "Irish Rivers ;" "The Last Lay of the Minstrel ;" " The Whychcots—a Leaf from the Census of 1841 ;" " A Month in the Highlands;" " Gal lery of Illustrious Irishmen ;" " The Outpost Bugle;" " A Plea for Illusion;" " Sir Robert Peel and the Pro testants of Ireland"—these are the principal dishes which are served up by the editor for our delectati on . The first and the las t of them are, of course, strongly tinctured with a Protestant an d O range hue. re do not imagine that our readers would thank us for any recur rence in this place to daily objects of political polemics with which they must be aweary. Very beautiful are the "Poetical Remains" of the gifted lady whose name they bear; but we have not space for extracts—and, in deed, we could only give them at the price of so abridging her impressive stanzas as to do them grievous injustice. And yet we are irresistibly tempted to adduce this charming specimen of her high poetic power : "I lift with gentle hand the shadowy veil, How like myself thou art—and yet how pale! The same dark hair above the lofty brow, In its still beauty white and pure as snow. Thou might'st be sleeping that untroubled sleep I often watched when resting by thy side, But on thy face there is a calm more deep, And on thy lips a rest mere purified; I touch thy hand—ah, now I feel the change For when was touch of thine so cold and strange? And no uplifting of those shadowed eyes That ever opening looked for love in mine; ' No answer to those holy sympathies, Whose magic trembled from my heart to thine. My love, my love, it cannot be thy clay That makes me shudder thus and turn away, Away from thee—forgive—forgive! the thought Was from a momentary terror wrought. Wretch that I was to dread thee !—Lo, I rest My head once more upon thy marble breast As if it were a refuge still. Oh love, . That word of mine could one dear answer move From these cold lips! Surely thou still must share Some comfort from my watching and my care; Surely we shall net part ! Oh joy for us — Trwe rnillitev to ether thus— That I could bear t ee efen . as thou art --..-Xe-semelone_cavern, where my aching heart -----,4light have thee to iL t elf, and none Intrude - For ever oo tua that au Nay, is not vur own chamal.ii defence, Who hath a right from me to take thee hence From me thy wedded wife?" " The Wife's Last Vigil," for example, is of so much unity and such profound pathos, that we could not bring ourselves to quote any disjointed parts of it. " New Zealand"—an extended review of the books of Earle, Brown, Edward Wakefield, Dr. Dieffenbach, and Capt. Wilkes (United States Navy)—is also the best topo graphical, statistical, and descriptive paper on this im portant colony that we have met with for some time past. Under the head of " Irish Rivers" we have a second article on the Blackwater of Munster—a very agreeable contribution to this interesting department of our national topography—full of historical anecdote, romantic legends, and fine descriptions of scenery. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. Mr. Charles Hooton, who has long been well known in magazine literature as a shrewd observer and a smart and clever writer, gives us in the present number of Simmonds, a most amusing and animated description of a visit to, and sojourn in, the city of New Orleans. This city has the misfortune to bear a bad character in Europe, and is consequently seldom visited by travellers. If we mistake not, however, this paper by Mr. Hooton, in "The Crescent City," will induce many to visit it, more particularly in the winter season. He thus sums up the result of his experience during his sojourn:— " Upon the whole, the impressions left upon me by both. the Crescent City and its inhabitants were of a very favour able nature, and such as will ever excite reflections of the most pleasing kind. With the two exceptions of 'yellow jack' and a sun in summer rather too hot, few cities in the States are more agreeable; for in the winter season the climate is delicious—that is, during six or seven months of the year." The other papers of this number contain much useful information on the state and prospects of our various colonial dependencies. THE BALLOON. Emboldened by the success of the Aerostatic Magazine, the editor has in the present number laid aside his nom de guerre of Wells, and appears in ploprici personii as Mr. Coxwell. The opening article " On Aerostation as it has been, as it is, and as it should be," is well worthy the attention of all who desire to see aerostation raised from the degradation of being a mere show to the dignity of a science. This is followed by an elaborate critique on the celebrated aerial voyage to Nassau ; and we have, as usun% accurate accounts with critical observations on the balloon ascents of the month. The present number of this magazine fully maintains its character. THE HARVEST IN IRELAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin.—l beg leave to inform you that the weather, since Monday morning, has been everything that the farmer could desire, in fact, this day is as warm as any day we have had in the early part of the month. We had no rain on Sunday, yet the day was gloomy; up to yesterday we had a smart dryirg wind from the north. The wind is blowing to-day from south-east. This will enable the farmer to save his mountain crop. The wheat, oats, and barley, that were cut and dry in the fields, were in a very precarious condition up to Sunday morning; but, thank God , all is now ri g ht, and the slightest injury has not been sustain e d.and We never had a more splendid crop of b arleyoats; the wheat crop will be short, but this will be more than counterbalanced by:the fact that we require only te n months' consumption, or one-sixth less than last year, as w as so very productive that we had more than Very many of the millers have not one pound of +h e rs have good stocks. Those without stock must, than crop t m onths' consumption. fourteen c orn; o. as a matter of course, purchase to keep their mills going. The farmers are yet busy drawing the corn to their Laggards; until this is complete, they cannot spare time to thrash. Before the month expires you will see immense mar kets. The present price of wheat will be sustained for a fortnight or so ; perhaps another advance may take place, but it will again recede to what it now is. J. 11. Clonmel, Sept. 24, 1845. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF AN AGED FEMALE BY FIRE.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Rising Sun, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square, respect ing the death of Judith Mancy, aged 85 years, lately residing at Ne. 3, Thomas-street, Oxford-street. The deceased was in the receipt of a weekly sum of money from several bene volent persons, parishioners of St. George's, llanover-square. On Tuesday se'nnight, about five o'clock, the lodgers in the house were alarmed at hearing loud screams, and on entering the deceased's room they discovered her on the floor enve loped in flames, which were extinguished with considerable difficulty, but not before she was frightfully disfigured over the upper part of her person. She was ultimately removed to the infirmary of St. George's workhouse, Mount-street, where she expired on Sunday. The accident was caused by her having fallen on the floor with a lighted candle in her hand, which ignited her clothing. Verdict, "Accidental death." At the large stock fairs of Balla, county Mayo, and Athleague, county Roscommon, the prices were uncommonly high, and eyerything changed hands T HE THE FIRST NUMBER OF HA REHOLDER, A NEW RAILWAY NEWSPAPER, Devoted exclusively to the Dissection and Exposure of Bubble and Corrupt Companies, and the Advocacy of all Honest and Legitimate Schemes, with Analysis and Biography of Boards of Direction and Provisional Committees, WILL BE PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY NEXT.

THE REGISTRATION. — Et is satisfactory to know that all is proceeeing well with regard to the registration, and that the Liberals have gained a large accession of votes to their majority. It was anticipated by the Conservatives that a split would take place between the members of the Anti-Corn-law League and other portions of the Liberal con stituency. We are happy to be able to state that. such is not the case, there having been a good understanding restored between the constituency and their representatives. A speedy dissolution of Parliament, were it to take place, would there fore, fail to benefit the Conservatives, or to place the repre sentatives of this borough again in their hands.—Cam ridge Advertiser.
