Its length will be about 50i miles, and the distances from Aberdeen to the following important places will be as follows, viz.:— To Edinburgh, via Arbroath, Dundee, and through Fife 125 Miles Ditto, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling 157 To Glasgow, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling Ditto via Dundee, Perth and Stirling ...... 157 The position of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland is next in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and, with the view of adopting the line best calculated to unite Aberdeen with these and other populous cities, and to secure the most favourable communication with the south, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal survey has repotted his decided approval of the line now proposed, and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen by Stonehaven, Drumlithie, Iturencekirk, Marykirk, Dubton near Montrose, and Bridge of Dun near Brechin, to Friockheim and Guthrie, points abotit seven miles from Arbroath and Forfar in the present line of railway to these towns. Mr Cubitt has further stated that this line is also the most fa. vourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti mate of 900,0001. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking, including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of the railway, The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Par liament that the traffic will yield a return of 8 per cent. to the share holders. After the Act is obtained, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of payment until the line is opened for traffic. The Parliame,ktary plans will be completed in time for deposit, so that application may be made to Parliament for the Act next session. Copies of Mr. Cubitt's report and sketches of the line may be ob. ained at the Company's offices, 2, Moorgate-street, London, where applications for the remaining shares may be addressed to the Corn. mittee.

Hydes and Tymbs, The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is In tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on- Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public' accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming ham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif ficulties. Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be a lloted to parties having loc al interests, and other appicants. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment. Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old Broad-street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street , London den t ; M r . Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James Pearson, Birmingham. FORM OF APPLICATION.

The South-Western Company have guaranteed their friendly co-operation and support to this Company, both in obtain ing the Parliamentary sanction to this undertaking, and in carrying into execution the plans proposed for securing to this Company the best terminus it is possible to obtain in the metropolis. The amount of capital already subscribed is amply sufficient to meet all the expenses that have to be incurred according to the most liberal estimate; and the Subscribers' Contracts, with other necessary deeds, have been extensively signed by the holders of the Scrip, both in London and the country. The following are the resolutions passed at a General Meeting of the Provisional Committee, held at the office, on the 23d of October instant, relative to the negotiations which have been for some time carried on with the South-Western Company : It was re%olved—" That the proposalinow made by the South. Western Company are, in the opinion of this meeting, equitable and advantageous to the interests of this Company, and that the same be approved and adopted by this Committee." Sir W. CLAY having left the Chair, It was resolved unanimously—" That the thanks of this meet ing be given to Sir W. Clay for his kind services in the chair at the meetings of this Committee." W. CHADWICK, Esq., having been called to the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:— " That it be referred to the Sub Committee to carry into effect the present agreement with the South-Western Company as soon as possible." " That the best thanks of this Committee are due to W. Chad wick, Esq., for his unremitted exertions in bringing the negotia tions with the South. Western Company to a prosperous conclusion, which circumstance is not only the surest mode of securing to this Company success in Parliament, but, in the opinion of this Corn. mittee, will ensure a more certaint amount of profit."

RICHMOND and WEST-END JUNCTION RAILWAY. - ' • I am directed by the Committee, in answer to litany inquiries, and for the information of the Shareholders, to state that the ques tion of junction with the South-Western Railway has been settled by the vote of the Committee of Wednesday last; that notwithstand ing the extraordinary means used to sever this undertaking from any connexion with the South-Western line, the result of the meeting was 9 to 1 in favour of the views of the Committee, viz., a junction with the South-Western Railway, being in proportion to the shares held by the respective parties as 50 to 1. - The Com mittee have likewise to state that means have been taken to ascer. tain the opinion of the Proprietors, and the result is, that the Sub scribers at Leeds, Manchester, and the north, are unanimous In supporting the Committee, and almost the whole having been seen or communicated with, they are able to state their belief that upon the question of junction or no junction with the South-Western, Sir William Clay, Sir George Larpent, and Mr. James Clay, stand alone in the views they have taken against the whole of the Sub scribers. The Committee refrain from making any observations, but satisfy themselves with laying before their Shareholders and the public the facts of the case.

" That the expression of public sympathy with a man who enters into a liability and repudiates the payment thereof, is discreditable to a commercial community, and dangerous to the existence of pub. lic faith." " That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is highly impru dent, if not dishonest, for any man to make himself liable for any debt or bond, knowing his circumstances will not enable him to pay the same."

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 tile real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. 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 burnng, without snuffin more brilliantly than the st wax, and their affordisg so large an g, amount of light, that they be are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds.

England has been the parent of the Press. She it is that cherished, developed, and protected that new and mighty power which, yet young, might so easily have been crushed, and was crushed in all other countries, by the too natural jealousy of those in power. ow ungrateful is the offspring to the mother which nurtured. There is not at this moment a fo reign press, liberated from the hands of the censor ship, which has not taken for its daily task to revile and calumniate England, and preach the necessity of eternal enmity and war towards her. The French press speaks for itself, near enough for us to hear it : all its parties, alike monarchic, aristocratic, sacerdotal, constitutional, republican, Jacobin, uniting in one theme : the necessity of knocking old England on the head, previous to each setting about the fulfilment and enjoyment of their peculiar schemes. If from France we fly off in disgust to America, we see the self-same task performed by the press, with equal recklessness and less ability. An intelligent correspondent of the Times, the " Genevese Tra veller," informs us that the American press has in formed its public, not only that England is labouring to destroy slavery in Mexico and Texas, solely for the purpose of dissolving the American Union, but that England has also supplied a large amount of money to the ultra-Liberals, in order to defeat the tariff people in the new elections. Thus the amiable press of America represents us at the same time as in triguing with the American Whigs for the destruc tion of slavery in the south, and with the American Locofocos for the destruction of the tariff. There is no limit to our Machiavelism or our money. We are the great primum mobile of all ill, in Amenca as in France ; bribing M. Guizot and Mr. Webster, Gene ral Jackson and Abd-el-I(ader. And, to avenge all these imaginary misdeeds, Frenchmen of all parties and Americans of all shades threaten us with war and annihilation. Perhaps, however, it is merely France and America that are mad in their estimation of us. Is there not some one free country that does us justice, especially amongst the countries that we have freed and consti tutionalised ? There are three kingdoms which we have so favoured, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. What is public opinion in all three with regard to England? What saith their press with regard to England ? They all speak the same language ; de nouncing the English as the most insolent, avaricious, treacherous, tyrannical, base set of people on the face of the earth. It is not the Spanish Carlist, but the Moderado Spanish Liberal who will tell you this, and who will print it, and who wiil be believed. Even the poor Greek has, like a parrot, taken up the same tune, and hoots Senhor Mavrocordato as a wretch worthy of the bow-string, for harbouring English ideas! What are we to think of this heap of injustice and insanity ? Has the press been intended to be not a shedder of light, but of more monstrous and more baleful ignorance than darkness and slavery together could have engendered ? Is it not to be an instru ment of peace, but of war ? Judging by what we see, could we suppose the freedom of the press ex tended to all countries, the inevitable consequences would be, not better understanding or enlightenment, but all Europe converted into an arena of wild beasts devouring one another. Upon reflection, however, we are inclined to con clude that freedom, and civilisation, and peace, and fairness are still great and powerful principles, which will not allow themselves to be stifled by the madness or corruptness of the press ; and that the press itself, and its freedom, will be more likely to be sacrificed than any of those principles. Hitherto the aims of Governments which have controlled the press have been directed, as in France, to the preventing its being seditious, or libellous, and disturbant of do mestic peace. The French press, for example, is most completely fettered and tied up in this respect, and accordingly it has turned all its fury and irra tionality to foreign topics. Not being allowed to rxeite sedition, it has turned to stir what was next to ••-••••-• er , .:n fnllnarq rid •• •••.•1, :••• ••••11,4 France. The military rulers, who would not permit a journal to discuss the merits of a judge, favour in ternational calumny and abuse. Hence in all those countries the Liberal party has been converted into a war faction. We fear much that, as upon the Continent the press has always been gagged when its freedom be came incompatible, or was thought incompatible, with public tranquillity, so we fear its freedom is likely to incur danger and curtailment as soon as it is found incompatible with European peace. Most certainly the freedom of the press, as at present understood and practised in France and Spain, may be a useful ally of despotism, or anarchy, or war; but has ceased to have any connexion whatever with liberalism, or progress, or peace.—Examiner. THE UGLIONIANS.—There is a public-house in the neighbourhood of the Theatre Royal, where a set of creatures, enjoying the euphonious title of " The Ugli onians," meet nightly, to have what they are pleased to call a lark. One of the clique seats himself in the bar, and, on the entrance of a stranger whom he thinks he can delude, commences talking about weights, and offers a small wager that the new comer is not so heavy as he states himself to be. When a bet is effected, the party is conducted into another room, where he is informed he can be weighed. He is. then placed on a machine, so constructed as to bring his hands under the influence of a galvanic apparatus, so powerful in its effects that, when the scaleboard is removed from under him, he is left suspended for a time, to suffer the most excru ciating tortures, and, not unfrequently, the most severe convulsions ; and many young men have, upon being liberated, dropped down almost insensible. While their victim is in this exhausted state, they easily extort from him his name, if they do not already know it, which is entered in a book kept for the purpose, and he is then allowed to depart, amidst the Satanic laughter of these wretches, who inform him that he is duly initiated in the mysteries of " The Ugly Club."—Correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury.

MOLASSES.—For West India several inquiries have prevailed this week, but stiffer rates being required by the merchants business has been checked, and not many parcels have been disposed of : there is nothing to be purchased under 21s per cwt. The stock is not so large as it was, and the deliveries continue to be very good ; of East India small parcels have been disposed of at 15s to 16s per cwt.

U FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. 01.013 E. We find that Mr. George Bankos has been directing the attention of the Dorsetshire magis trates to Sir J. Graham's Bill for paying clerks of the peace and of petty sessions by salaries, instead of fees, and for regulating the fees in courts of criminal justice, in language showing a very unnecessary alarm for the interests of the fee-receivers :—" Public attention had been excited by the great impropriety of charging accused persons with fees on ac quittal. The nature of the question had been in some degree mistaken, for it had been supposed that all parties accused were liable to these charges. Now, that was entirely a mistake, because in charges of felony no fees of that description were charged. It was, however, by no means just that parties who had been falsely accused (and they had a right to pre sume this of persons who had been acquitted) should be subject to any penalty. But the clerks of the peace ought not to be deprived of the emoluments which their predecessors had enjoyed; and consequently a difficulty had occurred in the way of putting a stop to a practice which had been reprobated by the magis trates of that bench so long as he could remember. It was very necessary that such a Bill should be intro duced, and he had no doubt it would pass ; but it was also necessary that they should look over it with considerable care, because it was not just that they should deprive clerks of the peace of their fair and proper remuneration." The children of Zeruiah are sure to take good care of themselves ; and however natural it may be for a Tory county . Member to anticipate their wishes and over act zeal in their behalf, we should think better of him if he withheld all encouragement of a jobbing opposition, too sure anyhow to arise, to so good an object as that of Sir J. Graham's Bill. These fees, of which Mr. Bankes pretends so much fear that clerks of the peace may be unjustly deprived—fees taken from defendants in misdemeanours--are illegal fees; pro hibited clerks of the peace are prohibited from taking them by the 55th George 111. ; and their illegality has been affirmed by Sir James Graham, on the autho rity of the Law Officers of the Crown, on Mr. Escott calling his attention to such fees being still demanded by many clerks of the peace. "It was not just that they should deprive clerks of the peace of their fair and proper remuneration !"—This fair and proper re muneration being fees which are taken in violation of law —as, if they were not illegally taken, they would exist in violation of the plainest principles of justice— from men acquitted on charges of misdemeanour, or discharged for non-appearance of a prosecutor. Out, we say, Mr. Bankes, upon such affectation of justice ! that fees so indefensible, should continue to be exacted by many clerks of the peace, contrary to law, is only one of many instances of the necessity for a more effective supervision of the amateur adminis trators of criminal justice at Quarter Sessions. A Parliamentary return has been obtained by Mr. Escott (whose persevering exertions to abate this disgraceful practice deserve all praise) of " Fees taken or demanded from defendants in misdemeanours by the Clerks of Arraign and Clerks of the Peace in England and Wales, at the last Assizes and two last Quarter Sessions respectively." Put aside the illegality of these fees ; and that they should be wrung, legally or illegally, from poor men as the price of regaining their liberty after acquittal on a false charge, is enough to make Englishmen blush for their country in which such practices are permitted to exist. The same return shows an amount of upwards of 1101. received by such fees in the two last sessions in Somersetshire. We rejoice to see that Mr. Escott, assisted by Mr. Labouchere, has prevailed on his brother magistrates at Taunton, at the sessions just concluded, to prohibit the clerk of the peace from continuing any longer to take these fees; and we trust other counties will follow this example. STANDARD.—We have long been of opinion that one of the most urgent of necessary reforms is, the improvement of the residences of the poor in large towns. In hamlets and villages, and de tached cottages, there is, perhaps, little occasion for the presence of the reformer; there the youth grows up, and the man lives in the society of his family, generally the best of moral schools ; but to transfer this advantage to great towns, or to provide a substitute for it, is a problem not yet solved, though its solution, besides being neccessary to the happiness of the poor, must exercise an important influence upon society, through all its gradations ; we, therefore, hail with satisfaction every fair experiment that is made in a matter of so much weight, for it is the domestic character makes the man, and the home shapes that domestic character. Never did we, however, read of such a rtexpri ment with so much delight as the repo of the proceedings to establish a sailor's home at with whom the ad- Liverpool. We know no t t d mirable proposition engine e ,itwhoPv?r la§ . the honour of being its author, that good and grea man, the Rei: Hugh APNelle, has not only insured the success of thp scheme at Liverpool, but rendercd cer tain the establishme4 of a sailors' home in every EXAMPLES. , 11 51 gei .

TEA.-The pub • sales were brought to a cambia= -- :, i iddings throughout were lanswaNArglaa- -€--- of the total quantity brought forward, amounting teaarSAla- h, 41,518 pkgs, the very small proportion of only 5,800 found purchasers, at a decline on the last auctions of id to id for Congon, i to ld for inferior Twankay, 2d to 3d for Hyson, 2d for Gunpowder, id to Id for Caper and young Hyson, and id to 1 d per lb for Pouchong ; other sorts of Tea sustained the former currency. Since the sales the demand has been very limited for inferior sorts of Congou, and rather lower rates have been accepted, common selling at 9id to 10d, and good common lOid to lld per lb, cash; but in the better kinds a large amount of business has been transacted at firm rates; in deed of fine Congou there is not sufficient at market to sa. tisfy the demand. Twankay of ord quality is cheaper; sales of yellow leaf made at Is Id to Is 2d per lb, but the better sorts are wanted, at Is 3d to Is Bd, and Ilyson kind is 9d to 2s sd. Hyson, 2s 53d to 2s 9d for middling, and 2s 10d to 3s 9d for better qua lity. Gunpowder at 3s to 4s Gd for middling to fine : in Imperials there has not been much doing. Scented Orange Pekoe at 3s 4d to 3s 5d ; in plain Orange not much has been done. Pouchong has met with a brisker sale, but not better prices ; 5d to 9d are the cur rent rates paid. For Souchong there has decidedly been a better demand at former rates. The low prices that prevail for Caper hare caused buyers to operate more freely. Young Hyson is not much in request, and prices rule high. Snores.-This afternoon at public sale 100 bags of Pimento were taken in at 4gd per lb, being above their value. 29 bags of white Pepper at 5d for middling. 609 bags Malabar Ginger partly sold at 36s to 44s 6d for rather small, being cheaper. SAGO.-The demand is on the increase, and prices are looking up ; holders show qinness, and none has been offered at public sale ; the stock is reduced to a small ebb ; common pearl has been selling at 14s to 15s, middling 16s to 18. good 19s to 21s, and Sae 22s to 24s per cwt. Sago Flour at iSs to 19s per cwt. Of Tapioca the supply still exceeds the demand; 133 bags of Rio at public sale were nearly all taken in at 4id to 5d per lb. For Arrowroot prices are kept low by the large stock. . Ruin, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There has been a falling off in the demand for Jamaica Rum this week ; only a limited business has been transacted, but merchants are firm, and have obtained former rates for all descrip tions. There is not a large quantity on offer ; 80 puns have been sold at 4s to 4s 2d for fair quality, 30 to 32 per cent. over proof. For Leewards the demand has been brisker, and prices are firmer ; 250 puns sold at 2s 44d to 2s 5d proof strength. Demerara 3s 3d to 3s fia paid for strong qualities. Calcutta Rum has been much inquired for, and full rates offered. The arrivals of all sorts of Rum have been small this week, whereas the deliveries from the warehouses are large. The market is firm for Brandy. Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s hi, puns is lld ; 1839, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 8d ; 1840, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1841, hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d ; 1842, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, low 3s to 3s 6d, and middling 3s 4d to 3s 10d. Geneva has been taken sparingly ; export sort at is 9cl to Is 10d, and fine for duty 2s Gd to 3s 6d. Prices are still supported for English Corn Spirits. SEEDS.-This afternoon 1,151 bags East India Lin seed at public sale were sold at 43s for goad clean; 410 quarters of East India Rape Seed to en in at 43s per quarter. RicE.---This afternoon the market was better supplied with East India Rice; at public sale 1,136 pockets 1,320 bags of Bengal were offered and all sold at full rates, middling white at Ils to lls 6d, good middling lls 6d to 12s, sea damaged first class 103 to I Is, second ditto 10A, third ditto 7s to 8s 6d, and fourth ditto 7s ; 4,528 bags of other sorts were disposed of.

Bombay good middling old dusty white lls to lls 6d, sea damaged 9s to: 10s; being 3d to Gd cheaper for the Madras, but full rates for all other sorts. FRUIT.-There has been an extensive demand for New Valentia Raisins this week, and the market has been cleared at 50s. per cwt. Old Red Smyrna at 40s, old Muscatels at 44s to 60s, New at 60s to 110 s. New Lexia Raisins at 38s. The demand has considerably increased for Currants. Zante and Cephalonia Old at 39s to 41s, New Zante 475, Patras Old 425, and New 46s to 50s. Figs are in increased demand. New Turkey Pulled at 70s to 80s. Sultanas are much wanted in consequence of the scarcity and high price of New Valentia Raisins. In other sorts of Fruit the transac tions are upon a more extended scale. sh'SALTPETRE. -This afternoon an increased desire was own to purchase Rough, and 876 bags Calcutta a pub li sale were readily sold at stiff rates, 7;1 per cent. re ly ction,_ middling grey went at 25s Gd to 265, loi per cc t. ordinary 24s 6d to 255, 14 per cent ditto 24s to 2 s N 6 D d i , G n o t refracted sincethe 2ss, and dw o as f h t e h d e 21s quarterlyGd sale s6odf IR, cwt. The market has a firm appearance. E st India there has been only a limited demand for hcime consumption or shipping, but merchants are not inclined to further give way in prices, and few parcels are offering for sale. In Spanish little business has been transacted, and parcels could only be disposed of upon lower terms. In Germany and Russian the consump tion has been unusually large this season, and is likely to continue on account of the low rates which prevail. COCIIINEAL.-A further decline of prices of Id per lb has taken place in Cochineal ; of 112 bags offered at public sale two thirds found purchasers-Honduras low to good silvers at 4s 2d to 4s Gd, good black 5s 7d, and Mexican manufactured black 4s 5d to 4s 6d ; 11 bags Garblings fetched Is Gd to is 10d per lb.

OlLS.—There has been more i nc li na ti on t o p urc h as e Linseed Oil this week, but prices have been prevented from advancing owing to the large supply ; a fair busi ness has been transacted on the spot at 23s 9d to 24s per cwt, and for delivery some contracts have been entered into ; if it were not for the high rates the crushers are getting for cakes, they could not afford to sell Oil at the present low prices—it is cheaper than has been the case for several years. For Rape the de mand has fallen off, and prices are not so firm. Pale at 35s 6d to 365, and brown 34s 6d to 355. Palm has been sold at 25s to 27s for fine quality, and holders show firmness.
