The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns gen time North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct eon, munleation between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably horten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manela•ster and Leicester. The lie e from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation froul that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the' Inhabitants. The same vi ill apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The litathy, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with - .the Oxford anti Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton Ilse. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES (f the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested Interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures, a ericulture. and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its ' apiculture' produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica tion for the conveya nce large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway munication. Fifth. That it passes aerolding them. t hrough the towns in its ro u te, i ns t ea d o f ]Sixth. That the whole nee of will he completed an d in working order from Rugby to Manchester within ten months from the ' passing of the Act of P ar li amen t. Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates , and oth er d ocuments required by the standing ord ers of Parliamen t efnor th e t be lodged with th e ' counties, a n d th e parish clerks, the clerks of the peace l'arliamentary offices, on the 10th of November nett days within the time required by the regulations ofPa , rbielatag twenty Parliament In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the ex an tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London Bir mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to time shareholde rs in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company ; of 1,000 shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,0 0 0 shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham ; from thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on the Grand Junction or on the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birming ham Railway. From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of railway, passing through the rich agricultural districts of Newport and White church on to Chester. At Chester it proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway co to Birkenhead. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a steam-ferry, gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both towns into one. A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the extent of 15,000 to the original shareholders in the Rugby, Derby, and Man chester Railway Company, on their sending in their application for the same. A proper reservation of shares will be made for the London and Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead, and Warwickshire Railways, being the railways by means of which the project now submitted to the public is the most direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made. A list of most influential London and Local Directors will be pub lished in a few days, together with a detailed list of Bankers, Agents, &c., in the different towns on the line. In the meantime, aMications for shares may by addressed to the Solicitor or any of the Agents o the Company, in the following form : DIRECT LONDON AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY. Capital 1,000,0001., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit, 2/, 2s. per share. To the Provisional Committee of the Direct London and Liverpool Railway Company. Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot me shares In the above proposed railway, and I agree to accept that or any less number that you may please to allot me. And I undertake to pay the deposit of 2/. 2s. per share on the same, and to sign the Par liamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement, and all usual and necessary deeds, when required.

(Provisionally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 110.) Capital 1,008,0001., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The great principal on which the projectors of this important scheme have acted, is the establishment of a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham and Birkenhead, by the nearest pos sible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object, it is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as far as Wolver hampton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction as possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the rail way already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most important saving of distance will thus be effected. It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with consequences of the highest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec tive districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de mands a more direct communication with the midland, southern, western, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its destined greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the moat lucrative of these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic which flow from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this line in as straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness and expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford shire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp tonshire, and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as from London and the important districts to the south, east, and west of the:metropolis. Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident that this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of the counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this fur ther and great advantage—that it will, in reality, firm a shorter and more direct line to the neighbonrhood of Liverpool and the district adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means of the contemplated line from Chester to Holyhead, it will open the shortest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the delay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec tion of the map of England, and a reference to the plan of this line will also show that the Trent Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the projected Staffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily be voidable tributaries to this important line of railway. The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at averhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by .I . ( of Market Drayton to Chester; and although in its direct course it ; fay not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering ii :.iculties of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local Lill:fence brought into co-operation with this Company. ,1 the formation of this line the extensive iron district of Lilieshall :s been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of te ,Isit afforded by this Company, the ironmasters of Soutk Stafford will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they ye hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charge r freight. ihe Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of 1 ction, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars. ►pp,lications for Shares to be made to Mr. W.

The Government have regarded the increase of railways nationally important, as to deem it expedient to create, t a ti r r a t t h 3 e bsu pur pose of watching over the system, a new department of administra lion. This step on the part of the Government, has not however rendered it less necessary that Directors and Proprietors of Itai,ways s h ou ld co-operate for the protection of their several and united interests. No araangement would so well effect this desirable object as a General Union Board of the whole of the Railwa y Com panies, re presented by appointed Delegates from each Direction, to meet peri odically, and establish such regulations as would tend to the general Good, To facilitate this purpose, it is proposed to erect in the most central part of the metropolis a spacious and commodious fire-proof edifice, comprising suitable ranges of Offices for Railway Companies,. private Committee-rooms, a spacious Hall for Annual and General Meetings, and an extensive range of Warehouses as a general goods depot for railway transit. The various departments of the proposed establish ment will, amongst other important and eligible appointments, include THE RAILWAY CLUB HOUSE. The Railway Club-house will afford great convenience ; it will be supplied with every information relating to Railways, with maps and iseetienal drawings of each line, with models and plans of all im proved modes of construction. There will be also Publications of all the Scientific Works on Engineering and Railway Mechanism ; the London and Country Daily Papers ; the British and Foreign Share Lists ; Parliamentary Notices, Reports and decisions on Railway Bills ; a Registry Mart for the disposal of all kinds of machinery and other railway property—locomotive engines, gear, surplus land, &c. The Club will be open for Members connected with Railways, whe ther British or foreign, and such other persons as may be recom mended and approved cf by the CHAMBER . Committee S , or by ballot. THE The Chambers will be constructed on an improved principle, and be supplied with office, furniture, desks, book-cases, &c. Water will be laid on to every story—there will be a complete system of venti lation and heating throughout the building, and gas-lights fitted to each apartment. The whole will form one of the most commodious offices in the City, available for public Companies or private in divide's. THE GENERAL GOODS DEPOT AND RAILWAY WAREHOUSES. These will be on.a moat extended scale, and established on the same principle as the dry docks at Liverpool, which, it is presumed, will be found moat convenient for the country manufacturer, and the export and import merchant for the warehousing or transit of home or foreign produce. To the London merchant and metropolitan commercial trading establishment this department will prove very useful and economical, as goods can be forwarded to the Central Depot, and from thence be conveyed to any of the termini of the metropolitan railways for country destination or foreign shipment ; or may be earefully warehoused for short or lengthened periods, and every facility will be given to the present great railway carrkrs, to whom separate departments will be assigned. To the Railway Companies in general, snch an establishment will be i e n sse rnu nt i li e dl at y w u:e iay useful, as every Company subscribing to the Club will have all the convenience of an office in the centre of London, where co be had with every Company throughout the kingdom. By the adoption of this plan, a general representation of all the railway s w i ll at owhereby an effective union for their fnutaal interests will nc t e bakee had,place and a general public good will be established. whole The will superintended by an efficient Comm tee of Maag A n ne e ll ran gi e ble t and extensive site, contiguous to the Roy a l E xc h ange, Bank, and Stock Exchange, well calculated whole of the above purposes, h av i ng been fixed for carrying out th e upon, a c are f u l stir vey and estimate is now being made by eminent surveyors ho con alder that (after allowing a liberal sum for the expense of manage ment) the revenue arising from the annual rental of offices let to Railway Companies, the hire of the Public Hall and Committee rooms for general and private meetings, the annual subscriptions from members of the Club, and from the general goods depot and warehouses, and otherwise, that a return equal to the most flourish ing undertaking of the present day will be realised on the Capital embarked.

The Provisional Committee have the pleasure to inform the ap plicants for shares in this Company, that they have received by the last Mail, from their representatives in Bombay, advice, of the cordial co-operation there of the most influential parties, both European and native, in carrying out the great objects which this Company proposes to effect. The prospectus of the Company has been approved and adopted in Bombay, and the Committees of the Bombay Great Eastern Railway, and of the Indian Railway Association of Bombay, both of local origin (the former established for making a railway from Bombay to the foot of the (;haute, and the latter for promoting railway communication with the interior of the peninsula upon a more extended scale) are taking active measures for the identifi cation of the interests of their respective Subscribers with those of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company. It appearing alai from the same advices, that the portions of the line to accommodate the great traffic connected with the staple trade, and port of Bombay, are most urgently wanted, the Pro visional Committee have it in contemplation to secure the con struction of those portions at the earliest possible period. With that object, and in accordance with their annnouncement of the 24th of July last, stating that the allotment would take place after the receipt of ad►ices from India, they propose to commence by the issue of 40,000 shares of the intended capital of the Company (a like number being now in course of allocation in India), reserv ing the residue for future distribution, with a preference to holders of original shares. Pursuant to this altered course of procedure, parties who have already applied for shares are at liberty to withdraw their applica tions should therbe so disposed, and to meet such contingency the Provisional Committee will receive new applications until the Bth of OLtober next, when they will proceed to the allotment of the shares. Forms of application for shares may be had from Messrs. White and Borrett, the solicitors, $5, Lincoln's Inn-fleids ; and L M. Simon, Esq., stock and share-broker, No. 7, Wharnford-court Throgmorton- street.

Morning .. 0 minutes after 1 1 Evening .. 20 minutes after 1 every unprejudiced and unperverted mind must —and we are satisfied did—believe to be a clear and positive acquittal. The moral presumptions in this af fair corroborate this inference, too, in a manner singu larly illustrated by the fact of the connexion itself. If that connexion with an unfortunate undertaking was a mere error in judgment, the mistake may impugn Mr. Alderman WooD's astuteness as a judge of joint-stock companies ; but the fiercest extra vagance of party spirit or personal enmity could not presume to rely on such an error as a valid or moral ground of disqualification for high municipal office. If the connexion be said to have originated in views of another character—in purposes of fraud or deception, or of realising money by dishonest and unworthy means — the justification of such a charge should be found in the ill-gotten gains of Mr. Alderman WOOD. But one out of the two objections started ti him as a candidate for the Mayoralty has been, that he is too poor. Now, the direct, natural, and reasonable conclusion is, that had he allied himself with a specula tion, in order to make money out of it by any means; or that had he, having embarked in it and discovered it to be a losing instead of a paying concern, determined on attempting to cheat others by such unfounded re presentations as should induce them to accept the trans fer of his interest in it on terms mutually settled between the►u, he would have secured to himself at least such an amount of pecuniary co►npensa tion as might have made him some money amends (if such amends are to be found) for his wilful sacrifice of principle and character. But if his declaration at the time, the result of the examination instituted into the facts by indifferent persons, the reiterated averments of his friends on former occasions, and the present objec tion that has been started by his enemies all corroborate the fact that he lost his money by the connexion in question, instead of acquiring that of others ; that he is not wealthy but the reverse, the result is inevitable. We are bound to presume him culpable in no higher degree than for an error of judgment, and that to the prejudice of his own interests and fortune. This disposes of the case of moral disqualification which it has been sought to set up against him, and ought to have been allowed its full re action in his favour. If he have been on three former occasions the victim of an unfounded, and, therefore, unmaintainable imputation, that fact alone ought to have determined the balance of the Livery's opinion in his favour on the fourth. He had been grossly wronged; they ought to have now generously, although still tardily, done him right. With regard to the municipal disqualification of Mr. WooD's not being " rich enough" for the off►ce of Lord Mayor, it is clearly one that neither can, nor ought to avail in any case of this kind. The question of fortune thus raised is at best but one of degree. It is to be deter mined in ten thousand ways, according to the varying views, it may be, of each of ten thousand different electors. Therefore, it would be a test as absolutely impracticable as it is theoretically superfluous. No man, not even the bitterest of the Alderman's enemies, has attempted to say that he is labouring under that pinching want of means, that sordid poverty, which takes him out of the rank of life his civic distinction and professional standing identify , him with. He is, all admit, lifted far above that pinch ing in competency of means that would raise the presumption among even the most jealous elec toral constituency that ho would be likely to be swayed by improper appeals to his purse, or incapa ble of resisting the influence of temptations that are (and falsely and cruelly enough, by the way), supposed to be irresistible with the positively needy. He is not even proved to be a patron of or subscriber to bubble com panies or speculation, and is therefore less likely to be unduly biassed on large questions affecting the interests of the metropolis than other al dermen, for example, who carry about them, as we have heard, railway scrip and receipts sufficent to require their being carried about in hackney-cabs to and from the civic courts of police and criminal law. This being so, with what force can influential members of the independent corporation of the greatest and most powerful city in the world require a mere quali fication, far beyond any exacted by law in can didates for the office of their chief magistrate ? A money qualification, vague, undefined, and indetermi nable—a qualification, in virtue of which the late N. M. ROTHSCHILD ought to have been made Lord Chief Justice, from his abundant endowment in it, if an alderman is to be excluded from presiding in the administration of the City's legal and municipal busi ness, solely by reason of his having but a limited por tion of it. Mr. Alderman WOOD is, however, a man of business, a good lawyer, an unexceptionable magis trate—circumstances that aggravate the injustice, the cruelty which, we contend, have been shown to him in this renewed exclusion of him from the chair of the Lord Mayor. We trust he will still persevere in offering him self again to the Livery when the opportunity arrives ; and we have little doubt of his success. It is hard in deed to have put such a necessity upon him ; but we feel confident that justice will ultimately affirm his claim. The French Opposition journals for years have shown a strong disposition to excite a bad feeling between Eng land and France. The journal under the influence of that warlike statesman and unfair historian, M. THIERS, displays occasionally great respect for England, and ap parent desire to remain on good terms with her, but, at the same time, never fails to place every misunderstand ing between the two countries on the worst footing, and is only restrained from using strong language in consequence of the connexion which its patron has with the Court of Lours PHILIPPE. Those, however, who act on the principle of worshipping the rising sun, who court the favour of the Duke DE NEMOURS, and still more that of the young admiral, the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, are less guarded in their language, and seem anxious to keep up a feeling of jealousy between the two first states in the world, with the hope that, on a fitting opportunity the national antipathies might break out into open war. This uncharitable and de• structive spirit is partly fostered, we admit, by the hatred of Republicans and Legitimatists to the Orleans dynasty, and by a conviction that if war should take place, under the auspices of the NAPOLEON of peace, France would become a republic, or be restored to the blessed sway of the worn-out Bourbon race. We can see neither love of country nor sound warlike policy in such vain aspirations. The power of the united empire is greater at present than it was at any former period. We have few ships, it is true, in commission. We have an army of only one to four as compared with that of France, and with that army we have to guard and protect numberless colonies and establishments in every part of the globe, and besides, deduct at least one-third to control the Irish Catholics and Orange Protestants These are great drawbacks, but there is abundance of money, the sinews of war, in the country. Since the last great contest, the population has increased by several millions ; the British army and navy have lost nothing of their prestige by the operations in China, and the march to Caubul and the conquest of Sinde show that the British infantry retains the same high chracter which it so nobly acquired in the Peninsula. France has not gained materially since the peace, if we except the improvement in trade, manufactures, and foreign commerce, which has taken place in consequence of the judicious and peaceful reign of the present Monarch, and the progress of that very improvement would be in stantly stopped by a collision with this country. Besides France has still a large debt, amounting to nearly three hundred millions sterling ; the interest is high, the re turns from the Customs are trifling as compared with those of England, and the great burden of taxation, therefore, falls upon the land and the industry of the country. We have no wish, however, to continue the subject, or draw a full contrast in reference to a subject so little inviting. Our object is peace. England can gain nothing by additional glory, or additional conquests, and it should be the policy of her political writers, therefore, rather to soothe the irritability of our gallant neighbours than to provoke them by needless jealousy and angry dis cussions. The London press for a long time bore pa tiently with the tirades in the Opposition journals, and we can see no reason why they should change their tac tics. We, therefore, regret to see some indiscreet, and what we consider unfair, remarks about the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to the Breakwater at Brighton, and the arrival of two French steamers the other day at Sheerness. The Prince, it is said, was ebs'rved sound ing some parts off the coast of Brighton, as if for the purpose of making use of his observations at a future period. Never was any statement less entitled to credit. Ile could not in fact judge of the position and efficacy of the breakwater without knowing the locality, and the supposition that he would make use of that knowledge to bombard Brighton de serves only the most supreme contempt. Civilized cc untries in general respect towns that are not fortified, and that possess no fleets, or other means of annoying an enemy. To attack defenceless towns and villages, to destroy the property of individuals without any object but mad revenge, is repudiated by modern warfare, and such an act would throw a stain upon the French character which the French them elves would be the first to denounce. Besides, have the French no reason to return the compliment, by proofs of which there can be no difficulty, that English ships-of-war have not occasionally, but regu larly, been employed for some time in taking soundh gs on the French coast? During the sin - Iner the Po.- cupine steamer, under Captain BULLOCK, visited Boulogne almost weekly, and the intervals were ~ . . _ , 4 ~ • : i. 4.

Oltenin4 LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1845. The election of a Chief Magistrate of the City of London, at all times an object of natural curiosity and excitement, may be easily converted into a question of personal instead of party interest. We lament to find that Mr. Alderman T. WOOD is destined again, for the third or fourth time, to experience, in his own per son, the unscrupulous eagerness with which political animosity will enlist into its service the most unwarrantable assumptions of private prepossessions or prejudice. On a former occasion we entered so largely into the exposition of the injustice which we conceived to have been brought into play against this gentleman's legitimate pretensions to the highest of civic honours, that we should feel ourselves guilty of dispa raging: the force of those pretensions were we to renew our exposure of the miserable objections on which they have been hitherto challenged. But, in the course of his very sensible address of yesterday to the Livery, Mr. Alderman T. WOOD reduced them to a simple and forcible statement, which adequately demon strated all their absurdity. After noticing the fact of his own rejection and the election of Mr. Alderman JOHNSON to be Lord Mayor, he apprised the Livery that he understood there had been, in the Court of Aldermen, two objections distinctly taken to him—the one, that he was not sufficiently wealthy duly to discharge the important office of Lord Mayor ; the other, that he had some years ago embarked in a Speculation that turned out a failure. It is impossible not to feel astonishment at the latter circumstance being relied on for a ground of disqualification at a time like this, when the whole City of London is steeped to the very lips in a full tide of scrip speculation. Mr. Alderman WOOD'S account of his unfortunate connexion with the Talacre Company, has always appeared to us so frank and explicit, that we could never, for our own parts, comprehend the reasonableness of that scepticism which made it expedient to refer his case to the minute inspection of third parties. But their examination and report resulted in that which occupied in taking soundings were per'., Others complain that French offi°eners witted to visit the docks at Portsmouth during the s ! CY _ of Louis PnieteeE at Windsor, and still lat touchedtic'. officers on board the two steamers which ciet. both coasts Sheerness, were allowed the same indulges Why the French authorities show the same cirri; too, to towards Englishmen, and some Englishmen, they may have more reason to fear than we bio re o , , fear the Prince DE JOINVILLE. Sir CHARLES AP! 91 known to them for his deeds on the Syrian coast, is at present, or at all events had been lately, at Chethled possibly to judge of its means of defence,ol learn the French system of protecting forts secbler, the attacks of ships-of-war. Neither the 0' biy bourg journals nor those of P aris complain visit. We believe he has been v er y cordial recelnen'ea by the authorities, and the only circumstance that De oibe to attract the notice of the editors of newspapers ehi, population, was the peculiarity of his dress. I° 1 , ic i„i. spect the French have outstripp ed the English !'tuts lity, and shown an example which the war party le country would do well to imitate. We have accounts from Madrid to the 22J ii3 . 9t . s t n e t : According to the Government journals the reper! . .. o f cowed from the provinces, relative to the collees7ood the income-tax, were satisfactory; and it was un d ;11 tbe that no further opposition would be made to it n ' iciv ,l capital.
