GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL ty AUCTION, at the Auction Mart, To-Moititow, May 16, at Twelve, in Six Lots, most ELIGIBLE PROPERTY for occupation or investment, erected in the best style, and very attractive in its situation. It comprehends four capital residences, known as THE MUNSTER VILLAS, MUNSTER-ROAD, FULHAM. Three of the houses are most respectably tenanted, by Mr. Howson, Mrs. Lukin, and Mr. Walpole, presenting secure investments. The fourth offers a tempting abode for a family; it is in excellent order, replete with every convenience, the situation most delight ful, and the advantage of a double garden, admirably laid out and planted. Also, TWO VALUABLE PLOTS OF BUILDING GROUND, with frontage of 60 feet each, mid a depth of 166 feet, each plot being calculated for the erection of two villa residences, and the situation extremely rural and delightful, in the centre of extensive garden ground. May be viewed daily, and particulars had of Mr. Potter, builder, Fulham ; of Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Johnstone, and Walton, solici tors, Lothbury; at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent.garden. GROUND RENTS ADMIRABLY SECURED for NEARLY SEVENTY YEARS, PRODUCING SIXTY GUINEAS A YEAR, and IMPROVABLE LEASEHOLDS, PRODUCING ONE HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. MR. GEORGE ROBINS will SELL, at the Auction Mart, To.Molutow, May 16, at Twelve, in Two Lots, GROUND RENTS, AMOUNTING TO SIXTY.THREE POUNDS A YEAR, indisputably well secured upon newly-erected and very well-built houses, approximating upon the Islington Spa, near to the New River Head, and surrounded by a populous neighbourhood. It is secured upon, altogether, sixteen houses, and the value to secure these ground-rents, which will form One Lot, is about FOUR HUNDRED A YEAR; It is, consequently, a security without doubt or risk, and this, be It remembered, with - - . THREE PER CENT. CONSOLS AT PAR, assuredly this must be a good time to transfer them into ground rents. Adjoining is a snug private house, respectably occupied, close to the celebrated Spa, which, by industry and tact, may be rendered very productive; and there are two houses adjoining. The produce of these leaseholds Is 751. a year, and the rents are paid most punctually. In olden times, 301. was the usual morning receipt from the Spa, or, as it was denominated in 1773, " The Holy. Well;" but it must be made more public to secure again the entire patronage of the public. For cutaneous disord era it is said to be an infallible cure. The situation of this desirable investment is rapidly progressing in public estimation. It is held for sixty eight years. Particulars at the Peacock and the Angel, Islington ; of Mr. Aldridgeowlicitor, Great Russell-street, near the Museum; the Mart ; and in Coyent-garden. 111 EAR the Rural VILLAGE of PINNER, close to Harrow-on the-Hill, Middlesex, within a Mile from a Station an the Lon. don and Birmingham Railway. Mlt. GEOaGE ROBINS has received instruc tions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, ro-Moastow, May 16, at Twelve, in Six Lots, EXTREMELY ELIGIBLE BUILDING GROUND, possessing the advantages of being FREEHOLD, TITHE-FREE, AND CLEAR OF LAND-TAX. The property is delightfully situate near to THE RURAL VILLAGE OF PINNER, CLOSE TO HARROW-ON-THE.HILL, a locality which is already so famed for its healthy air and scenes of landscape beauty, that any comment in this announcement would be altogether superfluous. The meadow has been divided into six excellent lots, and each lot is extremely well adapted for the erec tion of PRETTY SUBURBAN RETREATS, partaking of all the delights and beauties of the country, with its peaceful retirement, within twelve miles of THE WEST END OF THE METROPOLIS, There are already built on one of the lots FOUR SNUG LITTLE COTTAGES. The neighbourhood is delightful, and Mr. Robins would call the attention of his Conservative friends to the fact that every lot will give a vote for the county, an advantage which should not be en. tirely out of sight. Particulars, with plans (seven days before the sale), at the Essex Arms, Watford ; Abercorn Arms, Stanmore ; King's Head, Harrow; Queen's Head, Pinner; White Horse, Uxbridge; of Thomas Fellows, Esq., solicitor; Messrs.

A COPYHOLD ESTATE, TEN HOUSES, and a CHAPEL, in the High-street of the town, for absolute sale. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received instruc tions from the Trustee for sale, to OFFER to PUBLIC AUCTION, and for positive Sale at the Auction Mart, London, To-Moattow, the 16th of May, at Twelve, in Three Lots, A•COPYHOLD PROPERTY, valuable chiefly from the income being very secure, as well as highly improvable ; it is situate IN THE HIGH STREET OF THE TOWN OF RICKMANSWORTH, and on both sides of the street, very near to the Swan, the cele. brated fishing hotel ; it comprehends altogether TEN HOUSES AND COTTAGES, WITH A CONVENIENT CHAPEL, suited to any persuasion; and lots of useful detached buildings, to. gether with A PRODUCTIVE GARDEN AND ORCHARD, at the rear of the best of the houses in High.street. This property (conformable with Mr. Robins's invariable custom) he proclaims to be NOT A LITTLE THE WORSE FOR WEAR ; .. _.. his reliance chiefly is to be found in the certainty that Rickmans worth is PROGRESSING FAST IN PUBLIC ESTIMATION. The facility of being so contiguous to the railroad, and the whole journey to London being accomplished in an hour, must, of necessity, increase the importance and the number of respectable applicants for houses and shops in the town. The present income rather exceeds ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN POUNDS A YEAR, . _ and it will not be doubted that an outlay of 3001. or 4QOI. will give 501. a year additional incors e plaasah t prospect at this time, when it is difficult to obtain 3 per cent. for capital : it is, there fore, suggested as a reasonable /opportunity for the [limited capi talist to escape the danger of Three per Cents. at par, and employ it at Rickmansworth more safely and profitably. _ Particulars, with plans (fouteen days prior to the sale), at the Terminus and Clarendon Hotel, Watford ; of Messrs. Sedgwick and San, auctioneers, and at the Swan Hotel, Rickrnansworth ; Thomas Fellows, Esq., solicitor, Rickmansworth ; the Auction Mart ; and in Covent.garden. AT STREATHAM. HILL HOUSE, with its little PARK and DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS, placed in an almost irresistible position for a RESIDENCE, as well as a BUILDING OPERATION, altogether 14 Acres. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received instruc tions to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, To-Mottaow, May 16, at Twelve, a very desir able FREEHOLD PROPERTY, one of the most commanding features of this admired vicinity. It includes a mansion full of convenience, one that may be assimilated with those which the merchants of the olden school used to repose in, one where cum. fort and substantiality have been preferred to minor considerations. It is a VERY IMPOSING STRUCTURE, with accommodation throughout that one fastidiously disposed would 'not object to, to say nothing of hot and cold baths. It is on an elevated position, with STREATHAM COMMON, and the park and demesne of the late COUNTESS OF COVENTRY to form its boundary. It is altogether a romantic spot, and adorned by • NOTICE 1111 E LONDON OFFICE OF THE STAR.

A PRETTILY WOODED PARK, with gardens and grounds of great beauty, extremely wel arranged ; A SPLENDID RANGE OF CONSERVATORIES AND HOT-HOUSES; a melon ground, and in the court yard double coach-house, seven stall stable, and every possible convenience; indeed, within the abode, and throughout the offices, everything connected with com fort will be found conspicuous, and it is well supplied with water. In the park there is a variety of hill and dale to vary and improve the scenery, which is perfectly beautiful, and to those who would increase their ways and means it will occur that AN IMMENSE FRONTAGE, PARALLEL WITH THE RURAL COMMON, may be separated from the mansion, and not intermeddle with its comfort, inasmuch as the full-grown timber is a very secure guard against the operations of a building operation. A LITTLE ARMY OF VILLAS WILL NOT BE SEEN, and the increasing reputation of this lovely spot would leave no doubt of the certainty of the speculation. The splendid abode of Mr. Leafs, with others of importance, and the great opulence and respectability throughout the vicinity, render this a most inviting purchase for a nobleman, or a wealthy citizen, or a professional man of high pretensions; it is altogether FOURTEEN ACRES, leaving sufficient for every legitimate purpose, after separating the building land ; Norwood and its varied attractions are at hand, and it may confidently be urged it has not to encounter a single alloy, It may be seen by tickets ; particulars to be had at the Mansion ; of Messrs.

HA RVEY'S ANTIBILIOUS and FAMILY APERIEN r PILLS have long been prescribed and found eminently useful by one of the most experienced members of the t ollege of Surgeons, who, from kis extensive practice since he has resided in Bath, and in the East Indies while Surgeon in the Honourable East India Company's Ser vice, has had innumerable instances brought under his notice of the relief afforded by these Pills. They have been found of great service in restoring a healthy action to the Liver, and in pre venting and also curing the Jaundice; and passing off Gall Stones and other affections of the Liver • and being prepared from the s implest and purest drugs, may be iaken with safety by the most delicate female ; are mild in their operation, and their occasional use will preserve the organs of the stomach in perfect health. These Pills are a good preparatory Aperient to Sea Bathing, and likewise previous to and while drinking the Bath, Cheltenham, and other Mineral Waters, or using the Warm Bath, as they prevent Giddiness and other unpleasant sensations of the Head.

DESTRUCTION OF LYNN COBB, BY FIRS. -- The Stag, revenue cruiser, just arrived from the westward , repo' ts that when off Lynn Cobb, on Saturday, the 11th, at thiity minutes past nine, A.M., in company with the Adelaide, saw a fire, and manned their boats and landed to give assistance. No fire-engines could be procured till eleven o'clock, and then no supply of water. They-remained assisting, by attempting to cut ofr the communication between the houses, until seven o'clock, when they were obliged to leave for the Isle of Wight, the fire still raging. The fire broke out at baker's, and was carried by a strong north-east wind to ether houses and the Custom-house. which, with about sixty other houses and taverns, was destroyed. There appeared great apathy on the part of the inhabitants. The boatswain of the Stag and several others were severely scorched ; one man was much injured by falling from a house, hut it is believed no lives were lost. The damage done was reported to exceed 60,0001. The surrounding hills were lined with ladies and gentlemen, looking on this town on . fire. Accounts have since been re ceived that the fire was eventually got under.—From a Cor respondent. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS 'OF YES'T'ERDAY. STANDARD.—The Factory Bill was last night read a third time and passed in the House of Coninionli Lord Ashley's amendment (limiting the hours of labour in factories of yonn: persons to ten) having been rejected, after srdebate, by a majority of 297 to 159. The grey 'AA the majority, by which the House has, withihstss few days, rescinded its solemn de cision, three times repeated, will , come by surprise upon the public. We confess that though we anti cipated a decision against Lord Ashley's proposition, we were not prepared for such anadverse letnority . as 138 - T and now we can account for it only by two causes : —First, the distinct and unequivocal 'declaration of the Ministers that they would resign office if defeated ; secondly, the occurrence in the debate of menaces against the corn-laws,, introduced into the debate by Lord John Russell and. some others of the new converts to the principle of liniiting,the - hours - of labour. These two considerations co-operating—the fear of losing - a Ministry - that had. proved the faithful protector of agriculture, on one side—the fear of that Mi nistry being succeeded by another, the leader of whiCh at the very momentAits.e!,tened to repeat the desperate and ruinous attempt made 1841, would naturally alarm the agricultural Mdiaers of the House. As regards the first of these two considerations, there can be no doubt that if Ministers appreciate,' as we believe they do, . the magnitude of the change that Lord Ashley's, proposition would ultimately produce, and fear the effect of that change, they were right to give, it . a determined opposition, and, if unsuccessful in. that opposition, -to - release themselves from the responsibilities of office. For an Administration• to prosecute the routine of Government, withont the power to . govern—to submit to defeat after defeat, as Wag the practice of Lord Melbourne's Cabinet, or to merely evade defeats by abandoning , to the majority its own conscientious judgment, is of the worst pes sible example. And, indeed, the present Minis-. tors had precluded themselves, and we hope all future Governments, from pursuing this unworthy course, by the memorable resolution which closed the first session of 1841. They who think with us, that the Cabinet is in error respecting the short time ques tion, must nevertheless approve, on constitutional grounds, of the course which they have taken re specting its decision. But though the Ministers themselves are perfectly clear in the matter, we are not quite sure that the fears of many who supported them last night were not unreasonable. Our own belief is, that though Sir R. Peel should resign office on the Ist of June, he would be no less Prime Minister on the Ist of August. A Whig Admi nistration is what, while a remembrance of the ten years from 1831 to 1841 shall remain, the country will never bear ; and there is, even among • the Conservative party, no man in whose genius, -wisdom, prudence, temper—in a word, in whose consummate statesmanship the country has so much con fidence al'it has, most justly, in the qualifications of Sir Rubel% Peel The gentlemen who sacrificed their own opinions, strien an important and deeply interesting ques tion rather thin: deprive the country of the services of such a Minister, -acted no doubt conscientiously, and paid to Sir RoVrt certainly the highest compliment that could be paid to a public man .; but ought they not to have given the people credit for the same feeling; ought they not to have remembered, that though the great majority of the nation differ from the Right Hon. Baronet upon this one question, that same majority gratefully appreciates his value as a Minister, and after defeating him, even with the effect of render ing his resignation necessary, would restore him to office as zealously, . and with even a more. cordial affection, than they placed him there in 1841? The second consideration—the apprehension excited by the Anti-Corn-law menaces of the new conVerts— ought to have been of even less weight than, the'fear of disturbing the Ministry. 'Without wishing to 'detract from the value of any recruit to what we believe to be a good cause, we must still remember that the converts in question are party men. They may not, and we trust not, come over to us with party motives, but they' cannot -- help bringing with them their party incumbranceS. One of these is hostility to the corn-laws; and as it is tot much for even the most unscrupulous of politicians to get rid of two distinct sets of political principles at one and the same time, they.niust try to reconcile their old enmity to the protectiN • of agricultural, with their new zeal for the' protection , of. ananufadturing.labour. Between the corn'-laws and the limitation of the hours o labour there is, however, no natural connexion except this—the competition of foreigners, of which we have heard so much, as necessarily enforcing long 1 hours of labour, would be infinitely : increased by a repeal of the • corn-laws. All that the foreigner in habiting a less encumbered, a less taxed country, with a population long fzmiliarised to starvation, and an abundance of water power, cheaper than steam as 2i is to 12, and working much nearer than we to the great Continental markets—all that the foreigner wants in competing with us is capital ; and a few years of a free trade in corn would hand over to 14itu the capital of this country. " Were it not (sidd the late Mr. Rothschild) for occasional bad harvests, all the money of the world must flow to and ssttle in England ;" and we have little doubt that the recent active competition which has excited so much apprehension might, with little difficulty, be traced to the effect of the successive bad harvests from 1838, The inquiry, though an important one, scarcely falls in with our immediate subject, and therefore *e dis miss it for the present. We can, on the whOle, find no valid reason for the votes of the majority of those who opposed Lord Ashley last night, though we are very far from imputing improper motives to any considerable number of them. And now to come to the most im portant question. The fate of the short time propo sition having been decided for a session, how are the friends of that proposition to act ? to pre pare a strong force and a strong case against the next session, when, or at least in the succeeding session at farthest, they must carry their point, if they only act with prudence. The principle of limitation has been established, and it was strongly, though somewhat inconsistently, urged by some of Lord Ashley's most distinguished opponents, that every such principle must in the nature of things be progressive. How, then, is its progress to be aided and accelerated ? by angry agitation and violent speeches, and, as was not obscurely hinted, by " strikes ? Oh, __no; none of these things ever forwarded any but a bad cause and have never been employed in a good one without retarding or injuring it. The way in which the strength of the factory labourers is to be augmented, is by the preservation of that noble character which they have achieved for themselves. It is in rooted repose that the forest oak acquires its magnificent dimensions ; it is in repose from violent agitation that large bodies of men acquire a great and noble character. Next, information adapted to the new phase of the question must be diligently sought for and accurately prepared. Enough is known of the suffering of the factory la bourers by direct testimony—more than enough for those who are by experience acquainted with the cor ruption of human nature, and know that all responsible power which men can profitably abuse, will be abused by those who possess it. GLOBE.—A motion stands on the order-book of the House of Commons for this evening, the discussion of which will open the eyes of the public to the enormities perpetrated by Lord Lyndhurst's Chancery Reform Act, for the passing of which the session of 1842 will be dis tinguished in the history of Parliamentary credulity, indif ference, and idleness. When Tory Lord Chancellors endea vour t o lull suspicion asleep by extraordinary professions of regard for the public interests, then is the time for legislators to be more than commonly on their guard against deception. The motion we allude to, which will be brought forward by Mr. Watson, Q.C., is for "A Select Committee to inquire into the orders for compensation made by the Lord Chancellor to the persons filling the offices of Clerk of the Enrol ments, Comptrollers of the-Hanaper, Riding Clerk, Six Clerks, Swoilerks, Waiting Clerks, Agent or Re cord Keeper ,w 4 e Court of Chancery, under the Act 5 and 6 Vic. c" 103, and to inquire into the nature, duties, and ents of those offices before the. pass ing of n4llkie that Act f rand their right to compensation (and if any, to what amount), during their life, and for seven years after the death of such person ; and to inquire into the taxation of suitors in courts of law and equity, and the application of moneys raised thereby, and the propriety of continuing the same." The Chancery Offices Abolition Act was framed by, or under the immediate in structions of, LordLyndhurst, and was introduced to the House of Peers by the Noble and Learned Lord with a com placency of demeanour, and a blandness of tone, which tended to allay suspicion that any mischief to the public interests coulcflurk under so fair a form. The legal pro fession-.concurred in denouncing the Six Clerks'-office as the principal cause of the reproach which the public agreed,tojcast upon the Chancery Court ; the ve ry name * of which, was synonymous in the public ear . ) with interminable delay and ruinous expense in litiga tion. Until Liird Lyndhurst undertook the Herculean task, that Augean stable reposed in security. The dread of ipterfering with " vested interests," and the horror of touching the time-honoured institutions of the country, were akeinately pleaded as an excuse for not abolishing the monster-grievances which oppressed, harassed, and frequently destroyed the hapless suitors in the Chancellor's Court. Lord Lyndurst undertook and—it was boasted—coMpleted, the arduous labour ! It was not until the Lord Chancellor's celebrated orders were issued in December last, that the price at which the benefits of the Chancery Offices Abo lition Act had been purChased became known. Whether the framers of the Act had any idea that the compensation which it gave would amount to a sum approximating to that which it is now ascertained must be paid under its provisions, we do not undertake to pronounce. Certain, loweve4 is it, that a -sum considerably more than a million sterling is awarded as compensation to the holders of the offices abolished by the Act. If the Lord Chancellbr knew that such vsQuld be the effect of his first exratikent in law reforms If his Lord' was ignorant . is now made manifest, it w' far to convict him of negligence in the discharge of his public duties. It will also cause suspicion of the Noble and Learned Lord's other reforms in the administration of justice, . which -he has - engaged -to effect.- II is first grand ekperiment has 'entailed - gross amount of charge on the suitors of the Court,lth the shape of compensation to the holders of useless offices, to the extent of 1,358,424 L 3s. 51a.! This is more than enough for the present. That the Bill Was'pressed through Parlia- Ment With inordinate rapidity, will be seen-by a reference totheproceedings of Parliament. The Bill was introduced the last month of the session of - 1842: It was brought into the Lords - on the 11th of July, 1842 ' - and passed the House of Commons in eight days, nearly sub mitotic. It received the Royal - Assent on the 10th of August fol lowing—the Bar being on Circuit and the London attor neys generally, wholly uninformed of - the measure. In the Commons it moved tiVia stages after midnight. Han sard's Debatei . record not one line, bf discussion in Par liament on the Bill. There is yet some hope for the country from the inquiry which Mr. Watson seeks to obtain by his motion. GREAT LEINSTER and 1111INSTER RAILWAY. A meeting of Shareholders of the Great Leinster ar i d Munster (or Dublin and Kilkenny) Railway Company took place on Monday, at 61, Moorgate-street, for the purpose of having submitted to them a report of the Shareholders' Com mittee, which was , appointed 'on the 7th of March last to examine into the position and affairs of the Company. The - Mir was taken by Mr. Shaw, a Director. Mr. Slant (a Shareholder), in the absence of the Secre tary, presented the report, which stated that the Com mittee, having considered the past proceedings and • actual position of the body to which they belonged, agreed to sug •gestiOns-from .which we extract the following • " A new line of railway from Dublin to Cashel had been laid .out at the instance of Government ; the estimated capital had been raised ; the shires were at a premium ; and notices of an immediate application to Parliament foi a Lilt to incorporate the Company, and proceed with the under taking, had been inserted in the Irish newspapers. The question accordingly wag, what was now the best course to be pursued by the Shareholders of the Dublin and Kilkeause Railway CoMpany, whose Act would ' not expire until year - 1847. Confining themselves to fads immediately affect ing their rights as Shareholders, they had next to notice the circumstances out of which the present Dublin and Cashel Company took its rise.' When first the gentlemen to whom the formation of body was due proposed to them selves the task of procuring a line of ra il way out o f D u bli n to the south of-Ireland, they considered, after mature deli beration, that the readiest and most effective course - open tts ' them, and the one best adapted to the wants of the country. was, to take up' and carry out the original plan of the Great 1 1:einster. and Munster Railwey. Company, by making the line to .kilketiny. Proceeding to act upon that opinion, they _opened negotiations with the Directors still in office, and 'with her Majesty's Government., It was unnecessary to ciwell-lupen_the negotiations with 'the former, because they were completely put an end to by the decision of the lat ter, 'a decision which announced that no countenance or assistance whatever could be given, to any effort to carry the Dublin and Kilkenny Act into execution ; but that every countenance - and assistance that could be afforded might be relied upon for a plan based upon, or approxi mating to, the recommendations contained in the report of the Irish Railway. Commissioners, respecting a line rid Holycross and Cashel. The Dublin and Cashel line was, in part, the identical line of this Company ; for 58 miles, moreover, the two lines run parallel- and contig uous . SO far. they were competing lines and would, necessarily be so treated in Parliament, if this Company, or any of its Shareholders, were to present petitions upon the subject either to the House of COmmons or to the House of Lords. This, however, was not the step which it- would seem to be .advisable to take at present. They were to bear in mind that no opposition, however effective, could avail to enable this Company to proceed at once with their works. So that, in the event of their succeeding to prove that 56 miles of the line were Vested legally in them—that theirs was the better line, moreover, and would give the required communication to the greater number of towns, they would still have to reconstruct the Company, to elect new Directors, and to seek new Shareholders. A distinct portion of their line was pro posed to be taken in as a branch by the Cashel Company. That branch ran directly into one of the original extensions, projected, surveyed, and laid out at the expense of this Corn pany,-and it was also capable of being carried with the greatest facility by Kilkenny, Clonmel, and Carrick-on-Suh toWaterford. This would form an admirable South-Eastern Railway, about one hundred miles long, pursuing a 'era_ tract of country, the largest stream of traffic in the south ot - Ireland; and not competing with the main trunk out of Dub lin, but contributing to its business. On the other hand, the Carlow branch of the main trunk, if run- into our original Wexford extension, would give a railway sixty-eight mike long, easy in the extreme of construction, and abounding with profitable resources. Commencing upon a point from, .the main trunk of the Dublin and Cashel. Railway, near Kildare,and thence proceeding by Athy, Carlow, Newtown- Berry, andEnniscorthY, to Wexford, it would pass' through rind take up the trade of the rivers Barr ow ant i Slanev, aest would run into the capacious new harbour at Wexford, the plans of which had been completed by Mr. Brunel,9 The Committee also submitted- a prospectus of a railway to be called the " Irish South-Eastern, or Waterford and Dublin, Junction Railway, through Carlow, Kilkenny, Clon mel, and Carrick:-on-Suir, with a branch to Wexford," the - proposed capital of which was to be 1,000,0001. The pee pectts set forth that "The South-Eastern Railway would start at a point to be selected upon the Great. Southern Trunk: from Dublin between &aline and Monasterevan, whence it ' would pass through Athy' to Carlow; from Carlow to Kil ' kenny it would pursue the• old Dublin and Kilkenny line; ' thence to Clonmel it was proposed to adopt the line recom mended to the Dublin and Kilkenny Company by Mr. Aher and. from Clonmel to Waterford the line would fall into tlse valley , of the.Suir, aS suggeSfed VY - 111r. Bald, resident en. gineer to the Clyde. As part of the line was now possessed ty the shareholders of the Dublin and Kilkenny Railway Company, by virtue of an unexpired Act of Parliament, it was proposed to give therit a isreference, in Subscribing the required takiltal, and to allow them, upon paying up. 9 /. 10s. on the new shares, to have credit 'for the sums re spectively paid by them in the old CoMpany. The Act t( the Dublin and Kilkenny 'Railway Company would thug tea assigned to the South-Eastern Company ; and such artangss... Incas will be effected with the proposed Dublin and Cashel Company, either as to consolidation or otherwise, as Goe vernment should decide to be most conducive to the public, - interests.-- -The Government have been solicited to extend to the South-Eastern Railway whatever degree of support, Parliamentary or pecuniary, it may decide upon giving to the proposed Dublin and Cashel line. The Wexford branch would start from the South-Eastern line at 'the town of Carlow." Mr. Smrrx stated that the Committee had received letters from several of the Shareholders in Ireland, in which they expressed their approval of the report. The Ch AundAN regretted that there. was only one Director (Mr. Beamish) besides himself present at the meeting. lie could not understand what advantages would arise from the proposed new Company; the lines of railway suggested in the prospectus had all been contemplated by the Dublin and Kilkenny Company, and if they succeeded in obtaining a starting-place at Kildare, or Monasterevan, they would, in his opinion, have all that was required for the purposes of the Company, and one.of the most profitable lines of railway in the three kingdoms. __ Mr. Joni JkitsoN BLANDY moved that the report and prospectus be received, printed, and circulated; and that the Shareholders' Committee be requested to continue their ser • vices, and to ascertain what further support the project. would receive from the landed and mercantile interests locally affected. The CHAIRMAN said, if they passed this resolution they would, in point of fact, adopt a new line of railway whi c h they could not carry out without applying to Parliament for a new Act. Mr. BEAMISH was of opinion that they ought not to adopt the report and prospectus at present, and without commu.. nicating with the Dublin and Cashel Company in reference to obtaining a branch from the main trunk. They ought to meet the Cashel Company in an amicable spirit. Mr. Storrs supported the resolution because he thought that they ought to have some plan laid down upon which they could negotiate with the Cashel Company. After some further discussion, Mr. BEAMISH said he thought they could not agree to the report and prospectus without sanctioning the principle of forming the new Company, which he, for one, was not pre• pared to do. He moved that the report and prospectus be re ceived, and be taken into consideration on Monday next, at a meeting to be called for that purpose. Mr. BLANDY withdrew his resolution, and Mr. Beamish' motion having been seconded by Mr. Worgman was carried unanimously. Mr. BEAMISH then proposed that a Committee be ap pointed to wait on the Provisional Directors of the Dublin and Cashel Railway Company, to negotiate with them for he branch to Athy and Carlow'from the main -trunk, near Kildare, with a view to the continuance of the line as ori ginally projected by the Dublin and Kilkenny Company, and to report the result to the meeting on Monday next.— Agreed to. • A resolution was subsequently adopted, to the effect that a general meeting of the Shareholders should be called, in order that the report might be legally decided upon, and that Di rectors should be elected in room of those who had become disqualified, or who refused to serve. Mr. BUTLER, M.P., stated his willingness to give every support in his power in Parliament to any- feasible projects for railways in Ireland, and especially to, the proposed rail way to Kilkenny. LYONS AND AVIGNON RAILWAY. (From the Journal des Choam de Fer, of the 11th May.) The Bill respecting this linci is to be laid before the Chain here next week ; the Company (Marshal Count Sebastiani's) seeking the grant hayirig Lased their proposals upon terms differing totally from any that have yet been submitted, we think that the information that has reached us on the sub ject will be read with interest. The railroad from Lyons to Avignon—situated between the Avignon and Marseilles line, in the course of -construc tion, and the Paris and Lyons, about to be granted—will add the remaining link to the great chain from Paris to the Me diterranean, by connecting Marseilles and Lyons, the greatest commercial port and the most industrious city of France. The tedious and expensive navigation of the Rhone will thus be superseded, and two roads adjacentlo the river will be relieved from the excessive traffic so injurious to them. The length of the line being only 227 kilom., with unim portant gradients, the journey upwards will be performed in six hours, whilst the barges take 25 days, the carriers a week, and the steamers two or three days, An investigation of the great commercial movement of the line has convinced the Company that they were justified in offering to execute all the works of ,the line, which are ex tremely light ; they therefore constituted themselves, with a capital of 60,000,000 f., and the' subscription was raised in a few days, half in England, and half in France, particularly in the vicinity of the line. This line, at either terminus, is connected with two of th t principal collieries of the centre and south of France, by to , lines of Lyons and St. Etienne, and Beaur i aire and Alai , which are already constructed.. There was no division of opinion with respect to the tracing of the line ; investigations made.at different periods—in 1833 on a plan of Messrs. - Mellet and Henry, and in 1837, on more detailed calculations, by Mr. Kermaignant-pnwed unques tionably the advantage of the line along the left bank of the Rhone, from Lyons, through Vienne, St. Vallier, 'Pain, Va lence, Monteliniart, and Orange, to Avignon.
