SOLICITORS. John Bethell, Esq., King William-street, London. Messrs. Joseph and William Heron, and Messrs. Higson and Robins, Manchester That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question Is, which is the best line to be adopted. The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. - A carethl preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, s an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 360,000/. judicially applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by au entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. . . . These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a snore or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. _ _ Should It be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line. also possesses the singular advantage of af!brding the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to SoUthampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch 01 the Great Western as far as Dldcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line arc Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbounie, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in she London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament Is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. interest in all calls. Application for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices, 78, King William-street, City, London, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester; and the followin g sharebrokers :—Messrs.

Lion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected" Rugby and Iluntingdon Junction Railways. The country through.which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of swill abundant traffic as to render it highly re -muneratiye to the capitalists, The object proposed is to complete the line of railway eqinmunica. don between the Western, Midl an d , an d E as t ern portions ;of the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this' will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touclit lag, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. • By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of he kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Wai wick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription.

This Company is formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad with the advantages of railway communication. No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return for the capital required to be invested. From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other colonies, though. its production was not diminished in the same pro portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, have since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially from the other West India Islands—so that cultivation has been gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to have increased in the same period fifty per cent. As the arrangements now made for encouraging immigration pro mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is every probability that its production will be progressively aug mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing establishments and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a corresponding increase of traffic. In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension with the advancement of the colony. An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and, although no conclusive arrangement can be made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island, Lord Stanley has intimated that "he is willing to give every en couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that he will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the Local Qovernment." Under this recommendation it is expected that a great part of the land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land for the lines that may Intersect their estates. The precise course of the-e lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement. It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressive extension. _ . These concessions, while justly made in consideration of important public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, both im mediately and prospectively. As the Company will ho able to conduct the transport of produce, and the conveyance of passengers, at one-third, or even one-fourth, of the present expense (which appears to be from three to four shillings per ton per mile),' with the additional advantage of cer tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the existing traffic in the districts which they are to traverse, as well as any increase which may.arise. It appears that a single line, with passing places, sufficient to ac commodate four-fifths of the cultivated parts of the colony, may be constructed for the amount of capital now proposed; and upon a careful examination of the probable revenue, the Provisional Com mittee are satisfied that it will yield a large return. It is proposed that the Engineer of the Company shall proceed forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adequate number of Sur veyors,Tor the purpose of surveying the intended lines ; and that no plan shall be' finally adopted until he mikes a detailed report. He will be put in communication with an influential and intelligent Committee in the colony, who will afford the most cordial co-opera , tion and support. Provision will be made in the Act constituting the Company for limiting the responsibility of the Shareholders to the amount of their respective subscriptions. Applications for shares, in the form annexed, and for copies of the prospectus and relative map, to be addressed to the Provisional Com mittee, at the West India Chambers, Old Jewry, on or before Monday, the Gth of October, _ _ Copies of the prospectus may also be obtained from Mr. Matthew Wotherspoon, in Liverpool ; and Messrs.

Capital, 1,500,0001., in 60,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit, 21. per Share. This Railway is projected to supply the only link remaining 'to complete a communication by Railway from London to Falmouth on the broad gauge. Already open to Exeter, the Great Western Rail way is now being extended to Creditors, and from thende the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their North and South Devon Line in the neighbourhood of Ilatherleigh, 30 miles directly west from Exeter ; thence the intended line will proceed by Launceston, Bodmin, and Truro, to Falmouth, a distance of about 70 miles, which may thus be brought within eight hours of London. A branch from the main line near Bodmin INIII join the South Devon and Tavistock line near Plymouth. Cornwall, now divided into two great parties, will by this scheme be united into one common effort to carry out the best practicable lines on the broad gauge. The survey is- in progress ; and a further prospectus, with the names of a powerful committee, will shortly be published. In the interim applieations for shares may ,be made, and communications addressed to Messrs. Keddell, Baker, and_ Grant, Lime-street, Lon don ; and to Mr. John Stogden, solicitor, Exeter.

TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY. MANCHESTER, SATI7RDAY.—The first meeting of this Company was held to-day at the Townhall. The meeting was made special, to consider the expediency of empowering the Directors to apply to Par liament in the ensuing session to make arrangements with the North Staffordshire Company, also to enable them to make extension lines, &c. Shortly after ten o'clock Mr. EDWARD TOOTAL, Vice-Preeldent of the Board of Directors, took the chair, and expressed the satisfaction it afforded him at being able to congratulate the shareholders on the satisfactory and prosperous state of affairs, and of the prospect before them, amounting to a certainty, of completing a project which would result, not only in large benefit to the shareholders, but prove most advantageous to the public. Captain CLEATHER, the Secretary, then read the report of Ow Directors, which stated that the measures by which the powers ands privileges of the Company were conferred, received the royal assent in July last ; that the Directors since then had been engaged, in com pleting the arrangements for the formal constitution of the Com pany, and an active prosecution of the works upon the line. That a contract had been entered into with Messrs. Brassey, 31.1(enzle, and Stephenson, for the formation and completion of the entire line of railway, for public use, for the sum of 611,6191., the Company pro viding rails and chairs, and the contractors being paid extra for suck stations and sidings as may hereafter be found necessary. That tees Directors had reason to be satisfied as well with the terms of the contract as with the position and character of the parties contract ing. That it was also gratifying to have had, in this important step, the sanction and concurrence of the London and Birmingham Company, which, under existing circumstances, was mainly affected. That the Directors had been in negotiation with the North Staffordshire Company, with 41, view to a limited parti cipation by the Trent Company in that- undertaking, and that the outline of an arrangement had some time 'since been agreed to, whereby this Company became entitled to a share interest to the extent of 300,0001. in the North Staffordshire Company. That the precise mode of effecting this arrangement had not been determined, but that the Pirectors would ask of this meeting for powers to adjust it in the way whe s eh should eventually appear most beneficial. That the Directors had She; considered the expediency of making a line eastward, but so Many Competing interests were at preeent in the field, that they had yei been unable to determine whether the interests of this Company veueld be best served by under taking any such extension, or by leaving the ground to be occupied by other, though, of.course not hostile parties. That the Directors would continue to give ti;eir best attention to this subject ; seeking from the Proprietors: pow a discre tionary power of action, when all the plans ionetilig the district should be fully before them. That the shareholde ehould bear ip mind that in proportion to the vigour of action by- con tractors for the work, would be the necessity for early and re l ee calls for capital ; that it was therefore intended to make a first call et 31. per share on an early day, and to require its payment not Mese than the Ist of November next : the other calls would follow, the ter spective dates and amount of which would be regulated by the neces sities of the company on the one hand, and on the other by the con venience of the shareholders. That under the combined arrrange ment, settled by the deed of arrangement with the tondonAind mingliain Company, the Grand Junction ' and the Mancheiter and Birmingham Company, and which was embodied in the act pf incor poration, the present Board of Directors retired, and the shareholders. should elect nine others, who were to continue in office six months_ The SECRETARY next read the engineers' report; ,which stated in effect that the works were in rapid progress, and that he looked for ward to the speedy completion of the line, &c. The statement of the receipts and disbursments followed, which showed a large balance in hand to the credit of the Company. The reports having been adopted by the meetinge • Messrs William Birkett and John Ridgway were appointed auditors, ',and Mr. Blake treasurer, and 5001. voted to Mr. Wheeler,. their late „secretary, as remuneration for his services. Messrs. Edward Peel; Ilenry New bury, and Edward Tootal were elected Directors. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were • opted empowering the Directors to enter into arrangements with the ort it Staffordshire, and advance 300,0001. capital, and to apply for any N• tensions of the Trent Valley. Thanks, on the motion of the Hon. Colonel Anson, seconded by Captain CARNmotr, were given to . the Chairman and Directors for; their services. A public dinner was given in the evening' to Mr. Edward Tootal,. at which he was presented with a service of silver plate, as• sub stantial testimony from the shareholders el the Trent Velley Company of the estimation in which they held his services in pro moting the scheme, and bringing it to a successful issue. The enter tainment took place in the assembly room of the Albion Hotel, and was attended by about 200 gentlemen; amongst whom were Lord Viscount Duncannon, Hon. Col. Anson, M.P. ; Hon. Captain Carnegie, M.P., Staffordshire ; the Mayor of Manchester, the May or ' of Salford, J. P. Westhead, Esq., &c. The banquet was in every respect a splendid one, Mr. Westhead taking the chair. Mr. TooTAL, in acknowledging the tribute paid him, spoke of the strenuous opposition that the Trent Valley project met at every step, from the outset to the last moment, despite all which it had at length arrived at a successful issue. The toasts which followed were—" The Mayor and Corporation or Manchester, who had contributed 34,0001. towards public improve ments ; " The Mayor of Salford ;" " The Earl of Winchilsea, and the• landowners along the line." To which the Hon. Colonel ANSON responded. . . " The Army and Navy;" which was acknowledged by the Hon. Captain CARNEGIE, who spoke in glowing terms of the value that railways had proved in the facilities they afforded far the speck' transit of troops to all parts of the country. THE INCOME-TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE - _ Sra,—Knowing that your columns are always -s even to the cries of the oppressed, and that you are always ready and willing to render your assistance and to give your advice to such as are sufferers by the conduct of others, I venture to bring before your notice a case of as great hardship and punishment as can well be accom plished under the Income-tax Act, except the one of Messrs. Fielding, of Todmorden. I have been a small manufacturer of hats in this place for nearly thirty years ; I have always fulfilled' my en gagements during that period with punctuality. 14.110 of my creditors have been paid less than twenty shillings to the pound value, as my receipts will prove. I have, with great care, industry, and frugality, raised a small family, and also saved a little against old age. "Never did an execution from any of the courts of law enter my house until the Bth instant, when the collector of income tax, with a police officer, entered my warehouse, seized and carried away five pieces of silk plush; of the , Talue of 40/ and upwards, and in five days after they sold, by public auction, so much of the silk plush as roat,.s.ied their demands for a presumed income-tax upon my trade for the year 1844, ending 1845—not upon a real income, bus upon their presumption of my . income for that ye.. Now, Sir, I did not receive the inco me. The CO I . sioners have taxed me for that year wed the Income, i re sisted the payment. If I had rece see the Commiaioner conseque.utly 1....w0u1d have paid it on demand. nea r an exact account in figures as ( as no person living but' as I could come) of my income for that year, an d mysel i o ut to me in surcharging me hardship has b een dealt f knows what nay i ncome s, I do conceive a great above my statem ent ; and i n having my goods seized, car ried sway, and so ld b y public auction by men that ought securing to me just laws, administered as great an oppression as b to y p ju ro st te men,ct me by I conceive, any man can suffer. 'nation, you ar e a t f u ll lib erty to ma k e use - - xr ;-?ti consider this case worthy a p l ace in your the same, as I trust my iiama Snd valuable put:. of all or any part o. address is a sufficient quar,:,:ltee of its correctness.';': Springfield, near Manchester, ,!fot. 15.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM READINti iIY BED.—" 4 ne of those accidents which we have so often to record occurred yealtV• nay morning, shortly after one o'clock, to Mrs. Elizabeth 'Vernon, $ lady of independent fortune residing in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square. For some considerable time past this lady has been labour lug under an attack of rheumatism, for-which she was in the habit of taking opiates to alleviate the pain, and was accustomed,tipon re tiring to rest at night, to read in bed. About the hour stated the female domestic, who slept in.an adjoining room, was awakened by a strong smell of lire, and on proceeding to her mistress's chamber, found the hangings of the bed enveloped in flames, and the unfortu nate lady in a state of insensibility. Assistance was promptly:L.-pro cured, and the fire extinguished ; but we arc sorry to add, pet-net before Mrs. Vernon, who is an aged lady, was severely, thougf/..!1 0 4 , dangerously burnt. THE WILL FORGERS.—A letter has .been lately received from Barber, in which he states that his health is bad, and that his rations and labour are bad and wretched. He devOtie time to gathering geographical and historical informatton!of the island, and is writing the biography of extraordinary criminal*, al though his leisure time is small, as he has to get ilia° wOrtatery morning at four o'clock. He is employed givihg instruction to j Alie sons of a clergyman, and is also engaged to conduct the detente of some prisoners who attempted to escape from.the boats of the 04 Agincourt, by suddenly seizing the guards and throwing:then) eves* board. Spooking of his fellow convict Fletcher, he says He is execrated by all, save the few extreme wretches who welcome all as friends who are like themselves. There is not one of the free inha7 bitants by whom he is not regarded with abhorrence." Barber still perseveres ip his declaration of inaocande, and has again ibrwarele4 Memorial tbi a xemipiOrt of ytinishment. • - • IsePt. Sept. 20. :cos* 'Sept. I 20. Sept. 20.
