Ths ishole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passim to the Fastward an Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which tit, coal and mitten; traffic from the k erestor Beab (which, from tits tiasterit side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic doeumants and intbrination, at upwards of 3(5,000 tons; and trent fist ci - estei it or Lydney and Chetist, w stile the same antoant of traffic ' TOT , slier} he calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (tin- probe* of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, indepsndent of the local pasesnger traffic and an extended trade In the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the prioxtsed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend neon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed •three-fourths of the intended capital. It is propoied to make branches to th Collieries and Iron Works in the Force:, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to snake the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free Mini the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent' upon the rocks and shifting sands in that river. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to joie this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line Irons Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the Itiver Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the CollierieS, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A. reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line its essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wafts Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia meut for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) a ti nd eo o n ij u o e r e d t:ng it with the principal railways of the kingdont, at Gloucester, an 1., d making it the direct road to ndon, via Cheltenham for effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential suppon. The line is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties • the gradients and turves are extremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro vis on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for In the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the Applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors, or to Messrs.

We understand its ultimate destination is Cairo, but the Pacha has not yet decided where he will have it erected. It is scarcely necessary to add that crowds flock daily to the palace to best their eyes on this splendid Etrutare. (Provisionally Registered.) ' The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the making of a railway from Ihndersfield to Manchester, the long-de sited object of opening a direct line of railway communication, from Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddle Worth and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself. • To accomplish this object, it is proposed to make a railway, com mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and Shelley Valleys, and thence by way of; or near, Barnsley, to Goole. By th- proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man chester Railway, there wonid be then established one continuo/is line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, pass ing through Manchester, and connecting the two ports of Liverpool and Goole ; and also several important and populous manufacturing districti would have the benefit of railway communication, for which no provision has yet been . made by any existing Company, or pro posed by any 2Pliente now before the public. The proposed line would cross the North Midland Railway at or near Cudworth Station, opening a direct communication southwards. The Portion.of the line between Huddersfield and the North Mid i land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex , tensive and celebrated coal .fields in Yorkshire ; and the other part of The line, would' afford :increased ineana of attaining the valuable li:lleatone of Knottingley: • The 'oUntry throueh which•the line wool I pass generally is of a favourable character, and presenring few (if any) engineering diffi culties ; but .a survey is now being /mule, and, when completed, a : detailed prospectus, with the na es of a most influential Provisional Conitr.ittee,, consisting of landowni,rs, merehruts, manufteturers, and' others locally biterested, will be published.

A . glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic ; uniting those two great terniinl by the ihwiest practicable route in connexion with existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures; and open several extensive coal - fields and some thou sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and .other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the Eastern Counties nd Derby to Manchester, and give every accom modation to the Potteries. This line is, hi its principal feature's, much the same as that already approved of by the iloari of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet .Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re mark, th,it it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to Tamworth, and' is free from the formidable opposition of the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route by ltoeester and Marchington. It must be observed also that It is /he only railway which has been brought forward by, and is under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The e.-operatiOn of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfhld, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the hue may be considered as secure. - • ENGINEER—Joseph Locke, Esq., F.R.S.

Capital 600,0001, in 24,000 Shares a 251. each.—Deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per Share, in compliance with the standing order , : of Parliament. The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three fold ' • firstly, to open up and f u lly d e velop one of the richest fields of Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom; secondly, to make a Trunk Line of communication from South to North, between the Midland and the Leeds and Think Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with tho Midland at Oakenshaw, the Manl ster and Leeds and the Wake field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at or near How cy and tile Leeds and Thir s k at or near H ors f o rth, to affo rd to the densely, Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverle y , Populated and important manufacturing district through which the line is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country. The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them ; it is perfectly independent, and huperatively called for. The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work ing in the Bowden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when the railway now projected is formed, it is believed that the average supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that irom this vast and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres, and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax , Bradf ord , Dews bury, Bingley, Keighley, Ski p t on , Otley, Harrogate , K naresborough, Ripon, &c., &c., where In most cases the reduction will be at least ono-half, and in the more distant places much more than this amount of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and cheap coal is of the highest I mpor t a nce. The revenue to be realised from this source alone, it is b e li eve d, w ill yield a most ample return for the capital required. Besides passing through the centre of this immense coal field, the railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a populat on of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom modation to this vast popul tion, whose internal traffic must neces sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for inter nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un rivalled. This line affords the most direct communication from North to South, and will he a nearer route Cram Huddersfield, Wakefield, Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South, to that much frequented waterin..-place, Ilarrognte, and will form a most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley, and Horsfortb• • The leijkth of the main line will be about sixteen miles, and the branches six miles. The project is warmly supported by the landed and local interests, and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals in the above districts, who ' confident of a succes sltil.issue, w ill use every means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session, The Company reserve the power of making an extension from their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey ance of the minerals, &c., if adequate provision be not made by smother Company. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to the amount of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is obtained.

The coroner, Mr. Redford, and the jury selected to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of James Purcell, aged 13, on board the Moonlight steamer. assembled for the fourth time on Monday evening, at the St. Martin's Tavern, Duke-street,Adelphi. The CORONER having announced his intention to hear the evidence of Mr. Simonds and Mr. Flemming, pas-engers, to whose examination an objection was raised on the last oceasicn, owing to the presence of those witnesses during a former part of the inquiry, John simonds, of Southampton-street, Russell-square, silver smith, stated that he was on hoard the MoorAight, close un der the captain of that vessel (who stood on the right-hand paddie-boi), when she arrived alongside the Prince of Wales, at the Hungerford-pier, on the evening of August the 18tn. He saw the head-rope thrown over, and attached to the Prince of Wales prior to the landing of passengers. It was fixed to the sponson of the latter boat by a lad on deck. Shortly afterwards he . heard the captain give the order " Go a-bead," and almost simultaneously " Stop her." He then heard an outcry among the passengers, and saw the de ceased, whose foot had been torn effbythe bead-rope, supported by some persons on board. He heard the passengers say that_ it was shameful conduct on . the. part of the captain to proceed without seeing that the rope was de►ached from the Prince of Wales, but he (witness) did not think him blameable, as the call " Stop her" immediately :succeeded • the order to "Go i-head." The boat cerfttnly appeared to move forward, but, he was satisfied that the engines were not in motion. The tide secs running against the vessel, towards London-bridge. He considered the accident attributable to the absence of any person on board the Prince of Wales to remove the head-rope of the Moonlight from her. • George Flemming said, that at the time of the accident there were three boats at the Hungerford-pier. The Syren, a Wool wich boat. moved away free the pier, and the Prince of Wales, which stood next, with her bow facing the bridge (the same as the Moonlight), went a little astern in order to take the place of the Syren. The Moonlight's head-rope was then attached to her larboard sponson. Immediately afterwards he saw the deceased being conveyed away from the Moonlight, but he had nut seen the accident. As the parties affected by this inquiry, if the accident was the result of negligence, are either the crew of the Moonlight or the Prince of Wales, or the piermen employed by the Hungerford-pier Company ; and es the evidence as to the most material point was of the mast conflicting nature, it may be as well to give a short summary of the witnesses examined, with their opinions as to the party responsible for each negligence. Mr. E. Brydges, carpet-manufacturer, of Cheapside, a pas senger in the Moonlight, heard the captain give the order to go a-head before the rope was detached from the Prince of Wales. Saw the accident, and heard the passengers calling to the cap tain to stop the vessel, which was then in motion. The Prince of Wales was not moving at the time. Mr. Joseph Marsh, a hat-maker, of Cheapside, also a pas stnger, believed that if any one had been o n boa r d the Prince of Wales,to remove the bead-rope . f the Moonlight from her lar board sponson, the accident would not have occurred. Heard the people calling to the captain to stop, but the boat was not stopped immediately. Mr. Walter Scott, secretary of the Harwich Railway Cem pany, and a passenger in . the Moonlight, saw nobody besides a lady on board the Prince of Wales when the accident happened. The passengers of the Moonlight called for some one to unfasten the head-roptt, bat no one was there to do it. The captain might have seen that the rope had not been removed, if he had looked in that direction. Samuel Waller,of Chelsea, a passenger, witnessed the ac cident, and called to the eaptitii of the 11lootlight to atop the vessel. The Prince - of Wales was at the same moment going astern. James Stewart, a pierman, employed by the Hungerford pier Company, was attending upon the Syren, Woolwich boat, when the Moonlight and Prince of Wales were along side her. It was his (witness's) duty to attend to the head ropes of the different vessels arriving at the pier, when he could do so ; but it was impossible for him to attend to all at once. Henry Tucker, the foremost hand in the Moonlight. usually attended to the head-rope. He threw it upon the larboard of the Prince of Wales, where it was fixed by a boy. When the captain gave the order to go a-head witness tried to jerk off the eye of the rope, and then let out the loose rope It trig on deck, not observing that the foot of the deceased was entangled in the coil. He called to the captain to " stop her," and was certain that the boat had gone ahead only about two revolu tions, but at the same moment the Prince of Wales went astern. William Giles, mate of the Prince of Wales, described his boat as stationary at the time of the accident. The engines of the Moonlight were idmotion. James M'Clarens, a lighterman, on board the Prince of Wales, saw the accident, and believed it was caused by the absence of piermen to attend upon the boats. There were not half enough hands employed by the Pier Company for this purpose, and accidents consequently were always happening there. He was positive that the Moonlight was going for ward when the accident in question occurred. Alexander Mill, a wood-turner, near Euston-square, believed that both the Moonlight and the Prince of \Vales must have been in motion at the time of the accident, owing to the rapidity with which the head-rope was run out. Another passenger of the Moonlight, named Gordon, else believed that beth - vessels were moving, but the Prince of Wales was going astern more .rapidly than the other was pro seeding forward. Wiliiam Atkinson, master of the Syren, did not witness th e accident. but saw the confusion occa , ioned by it, and believed that both vessels were stationary at the time. The evidence of the house-surgeon of Charing-cross Hos pital related to the injuries received by the unfortunate lad, whose leg was amputated about six hours after he reached the hospital. The case progressed favourably until the following Friday, when death, resulting from mortification, took place. The Cotton/Ea, after reading over the evidence, said that he did not feel called upou to address many observations to the jury in referenoe to the conficting testimony which had been pre sented to their notice. It was for them to infer, from the mass of depositions before them, whether the accident was caused by a neglect of duty or otherwise, and, if so, who were the blame able parties. The larger proportion of the evidence had been given by passengers on board the vessels at the Hungerford pier, and, in considering their verdict, the jury would give due attention to the statements made by the more interested wit nesses likewise. He ought, perhaps, to explain, to them that when men acted without sufficient caution, and death was the conic quence, they were liable to the charge of manslaughter; but it was the more desirable on that account, that they should be agreed' as to the party to whom the blame in such a case was really attribu table. He mightremind them, in c 'reclusion, that the law of deo dands was still existing, and,' if they thought fit to mat k their sense of any minor negligence, they were at liberty to record a verdict of accidental death, at the same time imposing a deo druid proportionate thereto. The room was then cleared of strangers, and the jury pro ceeded to consider their verdict. After upwards of an hour's deliberation the public were re-admitted, and The foreman announced that the verdict of the jury was— ". Accidental death, a deodand of 401. being imposed upon the Moonlight steam-boat " He stated that his brother jurymen and himself had experienced great difficulty in arriving at a conclusion, owing to theextremely contradictory nature of the evidence submitted to them by parties whose respectability entitled them equally to credit. They had, however, come to the unanimous opinion th at the Hungerford Market Company were in duty bound to provide more piermen for the better protection of the public. MISCONDUCT OP THE EXCISE.—The Kelso Vail publishes a very gross cue of misconduct on the part of two Excise officers, which was exposed at the Roxburghshire Quarter Sessions on the - sth current. It• appears that t Vro officers of Excise, stationed at Kelso, disguised themselves es anglers, and went to the house of an innkeeper at.Yethohn, whim th y ma.'e drink with them until he was drunk, and their induced him to sell them'a quantity of whisky. without a per - mit, to be ca.ried across the border, in contravention of th e statute. Lard Minto and all the justices present, except one, concurred that the innkeeper could not be convicted on the denee of officers who acted in such a nay ; an d • at the s am e time, some wholesome rebukes were a dministered. pf ACCIDENT AT lIUNGERFORD STEA M- Monday night, between seven and eigh', another accident the crowded state of the occurred at this pier, arising sm. ! the rush made to get .on board hart es forming the pier, the rayons swam- i y7 i tt man named Double. boats owing to the cheap we of :he fares alp .by the Chelsea woolen b n )a ii t . s g . and before she was day, on the Pinurese co. h is way acrossthe Pr ince of Waled fairly mop red, forced Greenwich boat, and endeavoured to get on board the Prim. onden-bri Ige, and, a lth oug h ca ll ed on by ros e, to proceed t o L those on board to wait until the Prix ce of wales), bow gang, ,av-board was properly fastened, he went on. The board broke short off at the the persons on board could net see him, and it was believed he had gone under the boat. For tunately, however, he succeeded in laying bold of the chains in front of tie bows of the Prince of Wale s , and was ultimately rescued from his perilous sititation. • Art itiquest tvos 11.1 , i LA-wos on SatUrday, on It little boy, named Charles Holden, who had been killed on the previous evening by the wheel of one of the Brighton coaches' passing over his body.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. .:Sir;- ,- The crops in East Norfolk .and East Suffolk extiernely variable, its-minch SO as the fariners juded the ineans and talent of th - e - rodticer have ntllittle to' do with its results, two qualities- of which. our yeo manry, however blessed, are extremely unwilling to give chmonstration. That great dispropertiona do exist is visible in every locality, but thowtleat crop' on the well =inured and good cultivated soils, .which have been considered profitable wheat growing lands, are not so produCtive as the past year by 6 to 8 bushels. per acre, but - where beef and mutton, are abundantly produoed by oil-cake or other artificial food, crops • are very strikingly augmenting yearly, and in this part of the kingdom a difference of , from 30 to '5O pet. cent. is visible. It is equally apparent, that where the large farmer has proper security froia his landlord, that the extra production suffices to meet a lower price, but where. the occupations are small, scarcely. any lease or security is either sought or offered. Thil'bf course is politically right, and that very convenient, Chandos clause of 501. has been one of .the principal,causes of making it an unproducing one. A .paying. production must be sought; therefore the sootier the imp&st duties on every description of food; whetheek.fpr bread or feeding cattle, be annulled, the sooner will agrieul tore be sought by those who now malt*. a jest of pro fitable investments, and the man - of moderate under standing, who endeavours to show facts--.apparently false—is considered endowed with consummate impu dence who. dares assert that great' . names with little fortunes are not divested of self-interest when their favourite theme at agricultural meetings to their, tenants is " improvement by art/,:" no cost to be . spared to perfect a erop,". without any security to : theni - for their outlay; nor is he an expectant, for he not, sure he shall reap the fruits of his capital, skill, andsindustry. The folly of praise, as we this week see' in the 'Mark Lane Expess, " Graham v. Tweddell," is dearly pur chased; and a sorry recompence. I have at this time a Russian gentleman .of - much intelligence travelling for information in my pursuits; his extremely rational inquiry why I made so much beef,and mutton ? pleased me exceedingly. I told - him I lived under an excel lent country squire, whose estate was his own, and that his. confirmed opinion was he ,thought_ those were the most rational tenantry who set a value on their own re sources by endeavouring to increase the growth of every thing for their own profit, and who was equally con vinced it was beneficial to his estate; that many tenants and landlords had not real capita), that both . . who pos sessed it were unwilling to emit money from their purses when once in their pockets, and though in law to mur der is, to' kill, so it is to steal when we plunder the landlord, and thus brui.eeoerslives. As I intended this to have been an agricultural. report of the growing crops, I pr , nounce the .barley to be greater than last year, how, , vc.r the 'lateness of the season and the vigo -roue th of the youog clever will place the quality very much in ;jeopardy, and where much : lodged early - cutting will be necessary, whereas, by a delay to mow, a greater injury will arise, although a ripe kernel is desirable for the maltster. Oats area .so little cultivated in either of the above divisions that I will proceed to the bean and pea cops. Al least _they are certain to he plentifully prodtwed in acres, for tenants may not sail hay, consequently the been crop.is more agreeable to their pocket. Would it not be better for owners of land to allow their tenants to ,exchange eery-description of food for oil cake - or otle r arti ficial food, for a tenatit•nt-will would of neces-ity and prudence not purchase linseed cake, &c.. yet if, he were all wed to do this and .have security Mr,his outlay, as in tarts of Lincolnshire, he would 'produce fat in lieu of lean meat, and the proprietor ultimately be .e. great gainer by the improvement of his .property. Peas are Well kidded, but the wet weather has much diminished he quantity. Turnips on cold_ lauds riot promising, but on kind soils good ; mane , . 1 wurzel good ; clovers. with understanding clover tamers, good. As my time is pretty well occupied I shall merely subicribe myself,—Yours very faithfully, ' JOUN GEDNEY. Redenhall, Aug. - 27, 1845. MADAGASCAR. OBSTINATE COMBAT AT TAMATAVE.—OIir resuers arc already aware, from car publication of the 2d of this month, that Ranavalo Manjaka, the Queen of Madagascar, had issued orders in the beginning of May, -that all the English and French residing in her dominions should, within eleven days, become her subjects, by having them selves registered and naturalised as Malgaciies, pr that they should immediatel) quit the island. On receipt of this intelligence the Governor of the Mauriti us, Sir W.

They hi-re discovered the real fort, which is a circular one, and mounting about 30 uns, n hich were casemated, and in a circular gallery. The wall is about3o feet high, and surrounded by a ditch of about the same width. Possession was kept of the top of the screen for upwards of began hour, and & con stant fire kept up. Having no meats of breaching the wall, and the men failing fast, they retired, carrying off the flag, for the posse• sion Of which the French and-Eng lish sailors disputed for a hing time, but it`was finally settled that it shou!d be equally divided.. between the two parties, the one obtaining a portion with the word " Rana valo,' and the other with Manjaka,' inscribed. They burnt the Guard-house, Custom-house, and a con siderable part of the town. The firing from the men-of war was excellent. They .landeknext day and carried off all the remaining European property.
