Te the first. they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected linos from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is not more than two miles and a half.

This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the south-western part of the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsom, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its coat ; and, under the powers given him, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : " Your Committee report, that on this day (the 10th July) Cap tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham. worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic upon the line is suf f icient to lease a clear net profit of not less than 6il. per cent, during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully understood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." . . Liverpool, at the Office of Messre.

To the :second and third allegations the Committee of Direetlea of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Refl. nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new rail way between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in IBM mid in that year carried into Parliament- That in 1240 Mr. Gibbs again, brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme 'was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modific actions adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M. JP , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, th a Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Ore at Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir John Rei 'rile bad appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis tinctly ;Affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, and its shares has attained a high premium its the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter.project, and with the mis-statements here disposed of.

These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 500,000/., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lined for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past 'elision, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled with the great local support sirenay •horn, 2nd the careful ea.a. .....stion into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma. tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. An arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, hu been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing 3i per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be madein the subjoined form to Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cannove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.

MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—No inconsiderable degree of astonishment has existed for several days in one of tho official departments near the Horse Guards, in consequence of the sudden and totally unaccountable disappearance of a gentleman who had lately been ap pointed to his situation in one of the above-mentioned departments. It appears that the last time the missing gentleman was seen, either by his friends or at his office, was on Tuesday, the Ist instant, since which period no clue whatever as to his present position can be obtained. s_. --s--- .-- - tri, -- s =- - - ----,- tures to their tenants, it Is, of course, u vious dty it , of the latter to listen with respect, and to obey, whatever sacrifice....lt is consolatory to find ti at incendiary fires—those appalling results of deal s ration ration in suffering men—have forced attention t the wretched condition of the agricultural labourer, P and that of their families.

We cannot but express surprise and regret that the suggestions and exhortations to the farmers with which the addresses of the Commoner and Peer SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. abounded, were begun, continued, and ended without FROM THE zrigissisc PAPERS OF SATURDAY. any allusion to thereciprocal duties of landlords to their STANDARD.—The "Romanist Dissenters," or I tenants.

We have already expiating their offences against the game-laws in a exposed the jesuitical attempt of Dr. Hook to break prison. Nor did we observe any allusion to plans by the fall of his Tractarian allies, and the value of his which the condition of the labourers was to be assertion, that Dr. Puny was not justly dealt by, raised. Nothing was said respecting small allot albeit convicted of doctrine which form s a l ea d- meats o f l and, granted by the philanthropy of 1 ing element of th e Roman Catholic belief—that of the owners of the soil, by the cultivation of which Transubstantiation. Blinking the question of by spade husbandry before and after the hours of whether or not such doctrine ought to have been labour for his employer, and in which his wife and preached in a Protestant University, Dr. Hook some of his children might aid him, an addition professes.. - to rest his complaint on the alleged fact would be made to the labourer's scanty means, and that Dr. Pusey had not a fair trial, although habits of industry and care be encouraged by the he seems disposed now to keep his own opinion reward that sweetens labour. All was to be done by of such principles out of sight. A correspondent, the farmer. The office of the landlords is, it seems, whose letter, under the signature of " A Lay- to point out what the farmers are to do for the hu man," will be found in another column, has, how- provement of the labourer's condition.

P usey, Mr. Ward, _et id omne genus, are of no very recent growth, Of the tendency of his friend, Mr. Newman's, opi nions before other of the more notable members of his party had spoken out, we have also the fol lowing unexceptionable testimony in a passage of one of Dr. Arnold's letters, in which he defends himself from the apparent inconsistency of ad vocating the cause of avowed Roman Catho lics, whilst he appears to have deprecated the conduct of Tractarian Roman Catholics (for so he describes Mr. Newman and his friends) for signing the articles of a Protestant Church, and holding offices in the ministry of that Church. Had Dr. Arnold been alive at the present mo ment, he would have witnessed the further anomaly on the part of these gentlemen, of boasting of the impunity with which they have been permitted to openly announce their adhesion to the Roman doctrine, and yet retain the honours and emoluments of a Church which they profess to despise. The passage to which we refer in Doctor Arnold's published correspondence, if it cofirms our views of their conduct before these daring apostates had ventured upon the indecency of boasts like those indulged in by Mr. Ward, is still more applicable to their case at the present juncture :—" You seemed to think that I was not so charitable towards the New manites as I used to be towards the Roman Catholics, and you say that the Newmanites are to be regarded as entirely Roman Catholics. I think so too, but with this grave diff erence, t h at they are Roman Catholics at Oxford, instead of at Oscott—Roman Catholics signing the articles of a Protestant Church, and holding offices in its ministry. Undoubtedly, I think worse of Roman Cetholicism in itself than I did some years ago ; but my feelings towards a Roman Catholic are quite different from my feelings towards a Newmanite, because I think the one a fair enemy, the other a treacherous one. The one is the Frenchman in his own uniform, and within his own prcesidia ; the other is a Frenchman disguised in a red coat, and holding a post within our prcesidia, for the purpose of betraying it. I should honour the first, and hang the second. In an elaborate manifesto of his principles, recently published by Mr. Ward, Fellow of 1.3a1i0l College, Oxford, th e ex t ent o f the impunity he has enjoy e d is set forth in no very equivocal terms. In this somewhat remarkable publication Mr. Ward declares, that' in subscribing to the Thirty nine Articles, he renounced no one Roman doctrine ; and that, although he professes to believe " from his inmost heart" in the "sinfulness of the Reformation," the " corruption to its very core of the Protestant Church;" delights in the idolatrous language of Bona venture to the N'irgin; and is of opinion that Protest antism is a demon which will cruelly rend the body from which it is preparing to depart ;" he not only continues to hold his fellowship, but has hitherto " received no ecclesiastical censure in any shape." To have judged of him by the opinions he has thus thrust upon the public, and to have made them the ground of condemnation, after the pre scribed rules of the University, would, according to the expressed notions of Dr. Hook, have been to have subjected him to an unfair trial. Dr. Pusey i has recognised similar principles in less eardedt terms ; b u t th e 16 pear is not su ffi c i ent l y ripe' to admit of his defending himself in the same bold and uncompromising language, as his defence could only be founded on his justification of the doc trines he has preached. He has, therefore, chosen to remain silent. He has been condemned, we are told, unheard ; but the party who bring forward this accusation well know that he has not been condemned unread. GLOBE.—Numerous annual meetings of Agri cultural Societies have been held, in different parts of the kingdom; within the last few days. The after dinner speeches of the landlords—spoken specially for the instruction and guidance of the tenant-farmers, present and absent—have had almost exclusive rela tion to two topics. Low prices, which farmers are now to expect, must be made up by increased pro duction. To effect this, their utmost exertions must be put forth. The recently-discovered composts must be spread upon their lands, regardless of expense. La bourers must be employed upon it in numbers propor tionate to the labouring population of the parishes ; and at a rate of wages sufficiently high to enable the labourers and their families to procure the comforts of life, and thus be rendered contented and happy in their condition. These points were illustrated and enforced with both skill and industry at most of these agricultural meetings. The incendiary fires which have been kindled in considerable and lamentable numbers in several agricultural counties, seem to have shed light upon the deplorable state of the farm-la bourers and their families; and have furnished to the landlord-orators at these meetings an occasion for bestowing some words upon the necessity of rais- 1 ing these unfortunates a little above the starvation-1 level to which they have been pressed. At the Hun tingdonshire meeting held on Wednesday last, Mr. Fellowes, one of the M.P.'s for the county discoursed with much impressiveness on these two points ; and Lord Sandwich, from the chair, also lent the aid orhis wisdom and rank to enforce the Hon. Gentleman's exhortations and advice. Mr. Fellowes Wai " especially anxious that his mo tives, in prissing the suggestions he was about to offer, shoeld be appreciated by the meeting." The anxiety Was natural. It might be suspected that self-interdst prompted the advice he gave. If the land be highly cultivated by the tenant, its value will be improved at the occupier's cost ; and thus the owner be certainly advantaged, and his rent secured, even though the amount of capital drain the resources of the tenant, and reduce him to bank ruptcy. It was therefore necessary for Mr. Fel lowes, at the commencement of his address, to be speak the faiourable opinion of the farmers, by assuring them that the advice he was about to give them was purely disinterested. He there fore " trusted all his friends in the county of Hunts would do justice to his motives, and believe nis observations to be founded on his anxiety for the interests and welfare of all classes of avicultu rists." The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to the main topics of his address :—" When prices were low, they should:be met by improvement in quality and in crease in produce —not by a diminution of labour, but by an increase of labour. The farmer should gain in quantity and quality what he lost in price. There was enough to be found in the land, with the aid of the improvements that might be brought to bear, to assist greatly the tenant-farmer in times of depression. The system of high cultivation having been enforced, Mr. Fellowes proceeded to urge upon the farmers the policy of employing a 1 larger amount of labour on their occupations— " He had observed—and he spoke not of that county alone, but of others as well—that during the last twelvemonths there had been a diminution in agricultural labour in s o me di s trict s ; and he h ad been told that the reason of this was the low price of corn." This "reason" Mr. Fellowes attempt 1 designated " false ;" but did not even to show how the farmer, with diminished prices, and conse quently diminished means, could afford to employ an additional number of labourers—aye, and at increased wages too. Perhaps this is one of the secret thi ngs which belong' to landlords; the unquestioning re ception of which is one of the duties they exact from their tenantry. The same grounds on which the farmer is compelled to vote for his land lord's candidate at a Parlimentary election, without any regard to his private opinion of the gentleman whose canvassing card is indorsed with his landlord's name, or to his own op i n i ons on national politics,wwill l serve to sustain a landlord's dictum upon subjects such as Mr. Fellowes discoursed upon at Huntingdon on Wednesday. When landlords condescend to give lec- EXTENSIVE SMUGGLING. On Tuesday morning about nine o'clock, William Simpson, acting chief officer of the Coast Guard, seized a vessel called the Joseph and Sarah, off the Powder Creek in Long Reach, in the parish of Dartford, laden with ninety-five bales of contraband tobacco, together with five baskets of French apples, and twenty-three ether baskets. Mr. Simpson with four men boarded th, vessel oft' Greenhithe, and found two men in charge of the vessel. The vessel and cargo was yesterday brought up to Woolwich, and the prisoners Henry Wilkins arj Henry .Jones were taken in custody by the Inspector of the Woolwich Police, before the sitting magistrate, Mr. G rove, when the following evidence was adduced. Mr. Podbury, solicitor of Customs, attended to pro secute, Mr. Simpson deposed that he had examined the vessel and found twenty-one bales of' manufactured tobacco, weighing eleven hundred and forty pounds, subject to a duty of 9s. sd. p er lb. ; t hi rty bales weighing fourteen hundred and sixty-eight pounds leaf tobacco, liable to a duty of 3s. 2d. per lb. ; and forty bales of stalk to• bacco, weighing two thousand two hundred and forty seven pounds, prohibited ; together with twenty-three and five baskets of foreign -grown apples. Mr. Thomas Cornell, Queen's appraiser of Customs, deposed minutely as to the extensive manner in which the revenue was evaded by the contraband trade of to— bacco in the port of London, and stated the d u ty on t h e twenty-one bales produced amounted to 538!. 13s. ; oft the thirty bales to 231!. 4s. 2d. ; and on the forty-four bales of prohibited stalk tobacco, valued at 3651. 2s. 9d. The value and duty, he said, amounted to 1,228!. I3s. I Id. Mr. Simpson said the present was the second seizure he had made within twelve months. The first capture he made was one of sixty bales, found on board the Iris, which he was quite satisfied belonged to the same parties as owned the Joseph and Sarah, which vessel was forfeited to the Crown as well as the cargo. The prisoners pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Grove told them they had made themselves each liable to a penalty of 100!., and in default of payment to be imprisoned during her Majesty's pleasure. The prisoners said they were not in a condition to pay the penalties. Mr. Grove told them that it only remained for him to commit them to Maidstone gaol.—Committed. F A ATAL .CCIDENT AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.— On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at the Coach and Horses public-house, Flood-street, Dean's-yard, before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner fur Westminster, un the body of Robert Hunt, aged fifty years. The deceased, for fifteen years, had been employed as a lamplighter at the Gardens, and about eleven o'clock on Tuesday night last, as he was standing on a stage, five feet two inches from the ground, in one of the covered ways, reaching over to the last lamp he had to light, he overbalanced himself, and fell on to the back of his head, fracturing his skull on the right side from the top to the base. He was conveyed to Westminster Hospital, and died at five o'clock on the following morning. This is the only fatal accident that has occurred at Vauxhall Gardens during the last forty years. Verdict—" Accidental death." INCENDIARISM IN SUFFOLK.—lnCendiariSm ID this county appears at the present time to be alarmingly on the increase. A most destructive tire took place on Wednesday evening last in the parish of %Vhepstead, on . a farm in the oc c upati on o f M r . H o ld en . I t was di scovere d in the stack-yard, and in a short time ten stacks of diffe rent kinds:of produce were burning at once, illuminating that part of the country for malty miles. The Suffblk fire-engines soon after arrived, but, strange to say, the largest of them went without the necessary pipes, and when it reached the spot the men in attendance were obliged to send down to Bury in a cart for them before they could render the slightest service. The fire in the meanwhile raging w i th suc h unc h ecked fury, that it became evid n t it would be useless to attempt to save the stacks, the attention of the firemen was therefore directed to the dwelling-house, which was within a short distance, and which by continual damp ing was saved from any material damage.
