The line will be so constructed as to be capable of being worked, uPon the mast approved system. whether atmospheric or loco nmtive, when the proper time shall arrive for determining the question. The Provisional committee beg to remind the public that, pre. . / I °Usly to any application being made to Parliament in cases where there are competing lines, it is now required that the merits or demerits of such line shall be submitted to the impartial tribunal of the Board of Trade, and reported upon by that Board accord . i nitlY, ther e b y rendering totally unava ili ng the re p e titi o n of any tt rn " 1, 3' a combination of parties to make the public interests "ba /tent to private or political views. This line is in every respect (more especially as it regards the Public interests) superior to the now only competing line; it is one rlll le shorter i n a l engt h o f 13 m il es, h as b e tt e r gradients, less °Wee tionable curves, crosses fewer public roads, and interferes less in ifirlously with private property. Under these circumstances, the Provisional Committee, confident in the merits of this line, entertain no doubt of the success of their intended application to Parliament for an Act to authorise its for- Illation in the next session, for which the necessary plans and sections have been prepared, and will be deposited, and the proper notices given, in compliance with the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament. Applications for the remaining shares may be addressed to the lberetary, at the office of the Company, 11, Akhurch.lane, where detailed prospectuses and copies of the engineer's report subse. fluently to the defeat of the rival lines in Parliament may be ob. tallied, and where the plan and section of the line may be inspected. No application for shares will be received after the I Ith of November next, on which day the allotment will be made. Holders of the scrip of 1836 and 1839 may exchange it for scrip of the present date, upon signing the subscription and contract duds; but if they do not give notice in writing to the Secretary, on or before the 6th of November next, of their intention to do this, they will be understood to relinquish the stock, andit will be re -Issued.

Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. I'. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snarling, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

Such occasions as these are certain to please ; And all must pronounce them as splendid ; When they view the parade of the rich cavalcade, With pomp and with grandeur attended. Many thousands remember " the Ninth of November," With feelings of glowing delight, And thren .on this day, with a view to survey The beautiful popular sight. But what would they say to the civic display, While moving in stately progression, If MOSES and SON, with the hosts they have won, Were to join in tho City procession? Then the armour of snail would little avail, And few with the sight would be won; Whilst " all" would admire the splendid attire, Preduc'd by E. MOSES and SON. The Sheriff's and Mayor in habiliments rare, And the Aldermen gaily bedight ; Would all be outdone by MOSES and SON, In such a remarkable sight. N. B.

Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on' our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim ofp as t f o lly, or suffer ing from indiscretion, to 'prat by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of The. Silent Friend,' seem is be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the, valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY. The Tories are again in a minority, notwithstanding all their struggles to raise a stock purse, and to induce the discontented Orangemen :to co-operate with the place hunters at the Registry Court. The following is the result of the city of Dublin registry yesterday : Liberals admitted, 15 ; Tories, 11. Three Liberal claim ants stand over, and one was admitted from the previous day, which makes the Liberal majority, yesterday, five. Thus the Liberals, who had gained so extensively at the recent registry sessions, are still adding to their majority. MURDER OF ARTHUR GLOSTER, ESQ. Another appalling murder has been committed, the victim being a landlord who had taken legal steps for the eviction of some of his tenants. The scene of this murder is the county of Clare, which, for several years past, has been remarkably free from agrarian crime. The Limerick Reporter, received this morning, contains the following account of this dreadful outrage : " We regret to have to record the death of Arthur Gloster, EN., of Moylish, yesterday (Monday) evening, by the hand of the assassin, instigated, it i s su pp ose d, to the appalling and direful act by the wild justice of re venge. Mr. Gloster, a few years ago, purchased, under the courts, an estate at Toonagh, between Kilkeshan and Spancahill, in the county of Clare, for which he paid from ten to twelve thousand pouilds. The tenants on the lands have been for several yeti's in possession ; and report goes to say, that deceased had notices served on some of them with large families, whether for non payment of rent we have not been informed, and had proceeded there yesterday, preparatory to eviction, and was to have gone to-day also for the same purposes. But on his return home last evening, between four and five o'clock, at a short distance from Kilkeshan he was shot dead in his gig. This is an appalling state of things, and calls loudly upon the Legislature for the enactment of some measure to interpose between landlords and tenants in this country. Mr. Gloster was unmarried, and was considered wealthy." ' LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION. A recent letter of Mr. Edward Pennefather (son of Baron Pennefather), to the Secretary of the Land Commission, stated his refusal to return to the office of the Commission, without publicity, cer tain statements given in evidence before the Com missioners by the Reverend John Mackey, a Roman Catholic clergyman, respecting Mr. Pennefather,s estate. Upon this proceeding, and the general conduct of the Commissioners in regard to privileged communica tions made to them by tenants examined as witnesses, the Tipperary Vindicator has the following remarks : " The Land Commission is not only a mockery and a delusion, but a snare. In the confidence of honourable secrecy, the people, or the friends of the people, com mitted facts to its keeping, which it now appears, have been revealed, with the names of those who gave them, to the parties to whom they bore particular refer ence. The announcement made in the Secretary's letter to the Cork land agents, that the Commissioners sub mitted all complaints to the persons complained of, in order that explanation should be given, was sufficient exposition of the principles by which Lord Devon and his fellow-labourers were actuated in their hurried pere grinations through Ireland. But no one could have supposed that to deceit would have been added treachery, and that the names of individuals who had the humanity to speak of the land system as it is, would be handed over to those who have an interest in protecting that system from an imperative reform. Such, however, is the fact. Not only has the evidence given in reference to the relations between the hindlord and tenant been laid before the landlord, but the name of the witness who contributed that evidence has been likewise aban doned to the discretion of the latter. That such a prac tice is calculated to do more harm. than good ; to in crease rather than to remove the difficulties of the land lord's and tenant's respective Ositions, and to make the one an object of hatred and jealousy to the other, is, we think, perfectly obvious. These observations are sug gested by a letter of Mr. Edward Pennefather to the secretary. Whatever may be thought of the conduct of tho Commissioners, we think that Mr. Edward Penne- father cannot be condemned for acquainting the public, even at the eleventh hour, with the mancruvres of those personages ; and though the Rev. Mr. Mackey stated nothing in confidence that he is not prepared to avow publicly, yet, what has been done with respect to him has, of course, been done in reference to many who can far less afford to speak boldly the accents of undisguised truth than that respected clergyman." THE FEDERAL MOVEMENT. The Northern Whiy of yesterday contains the fol lowing:—" As some contemporaries, at a distance, have been asking about a federal meeting said to have been held in Belfast, we deem it right to state that, on the 26th ult., the Hon. H. Caulfield, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and one or two others, met at the Royal Hotel in this town, and drew up a form of federal declaration, which has, we understand, been sent to Dublin for the con sideration of the federalists there. The meeting was private, and for that reason, as also because we really did not take much interest in it, we omitted noticing it, at the same time thinking it better to await the publica tion of the declaration, should that take place." COURT OF CHANCERY.--(TIIIS DAT.)—Mr. Joseph Napier, and Mr. Richard Nunn, assistant-barrister of the county Tyrone, were this day called to the inner bar, and took their seats accordingly. The absence of these gentlemen on the first day of term—the former in England and the latter being engaged in the discharge of his judicial duties—prevented their being called a l ong with te other newly-appointed Queen's counsel. T. M. RAT, ESQ.—The Secretary of the Repeal As • sociation arrived in Limerick this day (Tuesday) from Derrynane Abbey, where lie had been for the past month on a visit with the Liberator recruiting his health after his incarceration. Mr. Ray leaves for Dublin to-morrow morning, to resume his efficient services at the Associa tion.—Limerick Reporter of Tuesday. Tim LIMERICK BOARD OF GUARDIANS AND TUE COMMISSIONERS.—It will be seen that the despots of Somerset-houso have brought the Limerick and Rath keel° guardians into the Court of Queen's Bench. We have reason to know that the wholo business will be brought before Parliament in the ensning session. Even should the decision of the Queen's Bench be adverse, they can only be compelled to attend ; but how will they be forced to discharge the business of the board ? We have learned that yesterday (Monday) the Limerick board of guardians held a full meeting, the Earl of Clare in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved to fight the Commissioners while there was an inch of ground to stand on. We understand that the opinion of counsel has been obtained, and is most decisive in favour of the guardians.—Limerick Reporter. THE LATE STORM. TIPPERART.--The floods caused by the late rains have inflicted considerable damage, particularly in the moon= tainous districts. In the neighbourhood of Shalee, and along the Keeper range, the roads are in a deplorable condition—the bridges on the upper and lower roads towards Newport and Limerick are swept away, and much inconvenience is felt by the population of that dis trict.—Tipperary Vindicator. KILKENNY.—WO could not, within any reasonable space, detail a tithe of the disasters occasioned to the poorer inhabitants of this city by the flood on Friday night, which was not paralleled since that of 1763. Up wards of five hundred persons were doomed to all the inconvenience arising from having their places of resi dence flooded front five to ten feet depth of water ; and their furniture so drenched and otherwise injured that it was hardly worth while to make any attempt to save it from the torrent. Persons residing in the Horse Bar rack, Water Barrack, and Black Mill-streets, were the principal sufferers. In one of these localities, the rooms of Mr. Grace, publican, presented a strange scene. Kegs, bottles, and decanters, floated about. In the house of a man named Cody, the water reached the upper apartments, and the occupants, as we are credibly in formed, were standing on the tables to escape the stream. The exertions of Constable James Campbell to save poor Cody's family were beyond praise. lle was aided in his benevolent efforts by Mr. Murphy, of Irishtown. We have not room to detail the." hair breadth 'scopes" of these two adventurers on a floating raft. After taking two boys from the window of Cudy's house, by means of a pole, one of them, from fear of the raft sinking, clung to the pole, and was pulled back—the other was left on the raft, which sunk, and owed his life to the conjoint efforts of the constable 'and Murphy, both of whom could swim. Tho danger to the experimenters may be judged of when we state, that in some places there were from 10 to 14 feet of water. Constable Campbell was drifted into it: 'scent brewery, and gave himself up as lost, till he found an ening at top, which led to a loft, and ultimately he ma e his way to the top of Mr. Grace's house, and after sustaining severe suffer ing and trial, was again seen on terra firma. We know not in what terms to speak of our excellent Mayor, who was seen in every quarter where suffering was expe rienced. Such folks generally superintend, but do not act. The Mayor, on the contrary, not only superintended, but acted; and when constable Campbell, in his dangerous position, lost the pole, and was dislodged from the floating raft, the Mayor was the first to come to his aid, and was seen more than once with little more than his head over the water. On The morning after the flood, when the poor creatures were fireless and foodless, the Mayor's goodness and consideration were at hand. k t ll o is re l i Worship h t e suppliedv i ct i m s l f o s a u d d sd n o efcalm, u a n n fo d re ebreaden calamity.and u) Straw was also supplied by the sa me munificent hand ; and L on Sunday Mrs. Smithwick ordered three cwt. of beef, had soup made of it , a nd administered it with bread to the victims of tempora r y destitution ; and in very many cases Mr. Smithwick gave money, when the supply of food was in any way deficient. The sufferers from the flood are many, and their case one which commands the sympathies of all. In John-street, and other parts of the city, there were sad scenes of suffering and con fusion. In Freshford, and many parts of the county, numbers of poor families have sustained w h a t t o t h em are serious losses.—Kilkenny Journ .1. LIMERICK QUARTER SESSIONS, MONDAY.—RIOT ABOUT LAND.--Michael Crowe, and twenty-one others, were in- RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE WEST LONDON RAILWAY. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of the P etors of the above railway was held yesterday, offices of the Company in Abchurch-lane, King Liam-street, City. Mr. WIIITCHURCII, one of the Directors, to( chair, and in opening the business of the dal that negotiations had been entered int o wit London and Birmingham Railway Company, f purchase or lease by that Company of the West don Railway. Those negotiations had not as yet successful, and so many difficulties had arisen respect to the West London Railway, that it we. , considered desirable, for the benefit and Intel the Company, that the present Directors shou sign. A large number of them had sent in thei signations already, and he understood it w; intention of the others to do so likewise. He ri mended the Proprietors to nominate a committ the purpose of forming a ife,tv direction, and he al commended the Proprietors fa take steps for the f sion of their line to the Thames' as the only me: making their property profitable. _ Lord KENSINGTON ,warmly protested against steps being taken to extend this line, which already a most unprofitable concern. lle cont, that the Company had broken faith with the tractor, who had been obliged to file a bill in ( eery in order to assert his rights. lie declared 1 that meeting, and before the public, that if the pany should attempt to extend their line, he vi both as a landowner, through whose estates th would pass, and as a Shareholder, oppose t 4 utmost of his power the proposition when it before Parliament.

WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOI RAILWAY. BIIIDPORT, THUESDAY.—A public meeting yesterday held at the Town-hall, Bridport, to rf the report of a Provisional Committee which had recently formed, relative to a proposed railway Bridport Harbour to Maiden Newton, in cony: ivith a line from Southampton to Dorcheste Wareham and Poole, and with the Bristol and F Railway by a branch from Sherborne to Y South Petherton, Lang►port, and Darweston, Bridgewater.

SUICIDE AT KILMARNOCK. (From the Birmingham Advertiser.) In our last page, under the head of " Scotland, hare given full particulars of the determined suic two persons unknown at the place where they coma the fatal act of self-destruction. There being good son to suppose that the parties were from this neigh] hood, we made every possible inquiry on the subject discovered on Monday tact that they were in all p bility old inhabitants of Birmingham. tinder then curnstances we felt it our duty to prosecute the lug further, and are now enabled to lay the following, ticulars before our readers The deceased, Mr. Joseph Barker, was 61 yes age, his wife was somewhat younger. They re: previous to leaving Birmingham, at No. 54, Vit• street. Mr. Barker was born at Preston, in Lancet from which town he married for his second wif partner of his romantic, but melancholy exit. resided in Manchester, London, Malta, and several of the continent, being at one time most extens engaged in business as a foreign merchant. A burning of Moscow he estimated his loss at 500,0 from that time his fortunes were reversed. His wife died on board a ship. His only child, a sor whose memory he appeared to dote, also died wh. years of age. Six years ago he entered the servl Mr. Samuel Kempson, tioor-cloth manufacturer, Cc tution- hill, where he remained as chief clerk and tray until May last, when he entered into partnership wit' James Archer, who had also been with Mr. Kern and the firm was opened in Summer-lane, as J Archer and Co., table-cloth manufacturers. In arrangements there was nothing to disturb the nimity of his proverbially even temper. Ile appear( excellent terms with all around him ; and when, months ago, be left home, as he alleged to his pat on a visit to Manchester, there was nothing to Ind the fearful resolve to which subsequent circumstt lead us to suppose he had made up Ins mind. On leaving their house they told the servant girl were going to see a relation at a distance, and ghoul bock in eight or nine days. When he parted from Archer, he shook hands heartily; saying, " God you, Archer;" and it was observed by Mr. Archer he turned away and seemed affected. It was after% found that he had, previous to his departure, called discharged every tradesman's bill against the firm. was supposed that he had about 40/. on him whe left Birmingham. In a pecuniary point of view t was not, as we can ascertain, any embarrassment, we have met with no satisfactory solution to the mys of their self-destruction. Mr. Barker was of most gentlemanly habits and r ners, speaking fluently the Italian, French, and Ger languages; and of kindly disposition, creating regard . love in those with whom he was associated in bus] and in private life. Mrs. Barker was a woman of n amiability and suavity of manner , hi g hl y accom p lis and a proficient in music. • The gold watch found on Ar r . Barker was an fashioned family relic, and the knife was a present i a young and esteemed friend, in Mr. Kempson's emi The description of the knife led to the identity of unhappy deceased. On seeing the account in the Lot papers, Mr. Archer sent his fureMan over to Kilm a r n to identify the parties. The body of Mr. Barker alone disinterred, and was immediately recognise, the foreman. COMFORT FOR PAUPERS.-Dr. Handyside t designates himself secretary to the Association obtaining an Official Inquiry into Pauperism in t: land, in his examination before the Poor-law Corn sioners, stated, that he could say from observation regard to a father and mother with four children ty ten, at the working period of life, that 3s. Gd. or 3 week might make them comfortable. The Doctor r that is. a week might do for a single man, of whicb is allotted weekly for nourishment. He considers 2s the lowest sum on which a man with a family of children might be supported, exclusive of house clothing. Dr. Handyside's ideas of comfort and sup for paupers seem to be based on homeopathic princi We would advise the Doctor to try the system 1 week personally, and then give his opinion. In all hability, the sum he so generously allots. to support individuals, for seven days, would not prove sufficiei pay for a dinner for himself alone.—Medical Times.
