At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of this town and neigh bourhood. convened by public requisition, and held here this day, The Rev. WM. POWELL, Vicar of Abergavenny, in the Chair, It was proposed by Mr. DANIEL, seconded by Mr. IsaAc, and unani 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 Monmouthshire and Breconshire, and finding that this district is embraced in the grand scheme of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, does most cordialli 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. IL Mottomr, seconded by ➢lr. W. IV. SacacTAN, and 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 knurl. (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 authority during the last session, that the most direct and speedy communication between the English and Irish capitals is a desid,ratum 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, beau determined to adopt this line ; and the Committee have the satisfaction' to state that they are encouraged to do so by many or 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 Porthdyidlaen, 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 expeditions 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 arc 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 Wildly confirmed by Captain Beaufort's report made to the Railway Commissioners of Ireland. The distance between Porthdynliaen 'and Kingstown is about six -and a half miles further th An 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 Porthdynnaen. This -also is confirmed by Captain Beaufort, as r: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 wiuter season, with as much speed and as little interruption as possible. There are many other, and, perhaps, equally important reasons, for preference being given to Porthdynliaen (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 1u 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; afterwards 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 I will be advertised in a few days. • WOLVERIIAMPTON, BRIDGNoRTH. and LUDLOW RAILWAY, connecting the Agricultural dis tricts of Herefordshire, Shropshire, North and South Wales with the whole of the Midland Counties, Liverpool, Manchester, and the North.

It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced In this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will Ile in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom. It is satistactory to the promoters to state that they have the sane- tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies , and tha t no projeet has been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaina ou public support. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and tile public, with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. [Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No application for shares can in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the SolieitorS, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

This railway is intended to commence at or near Buckfastleigh, and to join the South Devon 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 Teignomuth and Torquay, and to the important and increasing markets which these towns and the other watering places on the 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 ttheir trea sures, which have hitherto been raised only sparingly, in conse quence of the expense of land carriage. Within the average distance of two miles of AshbOrton are thirteen lime kilns. at which are now burnt annually above 50,000 hogsheads of lime. Five s'atc 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 Ashburt eta 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 251. 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 Directors 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 ne with the South Devon Board embrace a provision for leasing the li on its completion to that Company, and provide for the supervision of the planning and construction of the line by Mr. Brunel. The advaptages 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 41. 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.

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 Manchester. ftiThe 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 time 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 inter nediate 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. Time 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 nest session. The Provisional Directors reserve to themselves time right of amalgamating or making arrangements with other companies. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Par liament, which will he applied for next session, to allow interest at 41. per cent. on the deposit, and the liability of sharehold-rs will he limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

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 any existing buildings of any consequence. The surveys are in a state of. forwardness, and will be ready to enable the Company to proceed to - Paillament 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.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction witti a short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury and Dover. 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 ceed 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 Margree will be placed within 75 miles of the rge sinSiuth7EEysqou.:. M. Davey, Esq. 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 lines. 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 the metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened snore than 50 miles, travelling expenses sill 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, Ralllsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me otlei tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of c e ed im b np y ro th v i e s d r a a n il d " way, thereby shortening the Purney and avoiding the sea. mhemugrnication throughout Kent will occasion, others will prefer landing at Sh e e a e t rn i e n s e s re a a n s d c t w he l : The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of t e lle arg im e d d er in ta o k d i e n s g, of w a it h eo t must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme ot railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages.

The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London 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 Loudon and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 414 miles. From the 'junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% miles ; from the Decoy (near 13rent•street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% 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 agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily.inereasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metrepolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto shoaling an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, wil now have a railwa y communication of its own, w c ithout depend ingl upon the ca price or uncertain goodnature of any ompany who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others :- 1 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &C., to the several railways which aro intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs. 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all gasses as a most grievc‘s ev,..

The entire distance being completed in about 18 miles. The importance of this railway, though only . 18 miles in length, will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following points will be self-evident. 1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England. 2.

JERROLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE 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 Liquorisb, to join young St. James, whose retarn 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, are 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 337ightJem 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 pendaxt to the 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 govicru wrong." In another part of this number we have on this subject the following magnificent s , nnet—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 Iwith 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. 0 English people, 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. Him would they new eject From his well-earned honours, and o'erflood With base neglect that ancient glorious strand ! DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. No. CLIV. An excellent bill of faie promised in the table of contents is well supplied by the bulk of the papers which this number contains. "Ireland and her Church " (second article) ; " Poetical Remains of the late Mrs. James. Gray;" "New Zealand;" " The lEsthetical 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 delectation. The first and the last of them are, of course, strongly tinctured with a Protestant and Orange 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 th, - ,11 still must share Some comfort from my watching and my care; Surely we shall net part! Oh Joy for us If we might ever be together thus— That I could bear thee even as thou art 'le some lone cavern, where my aching heart Might have thee to itself, and none intrude For ever on that sunless solitude! Nay, is not our own chamber a 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. DietTenbach, 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 inc 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--tbat 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 rsonet as his nom de guerre of Wells , and a pp ears in propria pe Mr. Cov,vell. The opening article " On Aerostation as it m N f v m i l t t h ii cri T ti h c e al p o r b „ s s e e r n v t a n ti u o m ns b o er n maintains its character. 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, ,MIO.I.I.OrPM.P.MM. a o t he s f u ti b: n i balloon ascents anzs accurateieneen fu l l y t s a c c ounts o f it,o r e r ttc: l .l - I. roa,n E is,:hi: HARVEST IN IRELAND.
