The formation of a Direct Main-Trunk Railway, for the im. Portant purpose of connecting the north of England and Scotland, by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon, after mature investigation and conviction of the public advantages /such a line of communication. The line will commence near King's.eross, in the New-road, the Most central situation in the metropolis, both as regards the West_ end and the City; it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, }cots, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by Stamford, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west ef Sleaford, aad east of Newark, to Lincoln, and thence by Gainsborough, Thorne, Snaith, and Selby, to York. The distance by it between London and York will be 180 miles. will be about 20 miles shorter than by any other proposed line. t will reduce by 39 miles the present distance between London Mid York, and will consequently by the same distance bring New castle and Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance l aved between London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles. It will firm the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield; thus c ommanding the traffic of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, as well as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln shire, and the other agricultural districts through which it passes. Taking its course through a highly productive country, It em brace, all- the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin colnshire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis. It opens an easy communication between Norfolk and Suftblk, and the West and North of England. The line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the drainage of the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important Markets and towns of that district. The inclinations are extrewely favourable, and are obtained at a Moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great Magnitude on the line. The guage will be the same as the exist. ing lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time In travelling will be avoided, as the line will be an integral trunk li no Under one management. The expense of construction being moderate, and the distance as ankh reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample Profit is suffi:;iently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic t ables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are prepared as evidence for Parliament. The capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a sum e xceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought a dvisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above those of the present time. The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March last, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with is kt anY other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were car , fully f lan to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to epinion on such matters, and finally theprospectus , accom. l anied by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of April, 1844. This prospectus and map show the London terminus at King's.eross. At this date there was not before the public any other project fo r a direct line of railway from London tc York ; but when more th an a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the pr ospectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam. "ridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to th at time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York) cha nged their title to that of the London and York Railway Com ,,vanY, and their stated capital, which previously had varied from 4 ' n " ,, ,0001. to 1,600,0001., was then, for the first - time, named at L' u ° o ooo/. In their new prospectus the London and York Corn ant also adopted King's-cross for their London terminus. Of the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro. o ' ot ers of the Direct Northern Railway , the York and London M Pany were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem ber of their Committee on the 18th of May last, and signed by the eeretary, Major Amsinck. th ' u ,!t Map of the London and York Railway was, however, pub. ed in the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to ; l i Proprikta upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line -n bltd - Direct Northern Railway. Still the project of the Landon and York Railway Company falls tel l far sh or t o f a direct line from London to the north, as will be 'cers from the following data : Ter oca London to York the distance by the present lines of rail waY is 219 miles ; by the proposed London and •York line, stated '" be 2 00 miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway, 180 Ni es. „,Nring the progress of this undertaking, a very large prortand ion ,the landowners on the line have been communicated with, * , oS Ulted in reference to it, and the full concurrence of that im "tent interest is, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on. b .,PUblie attention having been lately dr a wn to the atmospheric I rciple, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con on to take a dvantage of that principle, should it eventually b e flown to be for the benefit of the undertaking. _She sections of the country through which the line passes from Mndan to York can be seen at the offices of the Company, 64, o orgate.st re et.

L. Donaldson, Esq., it, he Chair. The reports of Messrs. Allason, Harrison, and Cantwell, with the reports of the surveyors of the Court, having been read upon the subject of venti lating shafts and air gratings, on which the three first gentlemen recommended that ventilating shafts, ac cording to a form produced in Court, should ha tried as an experiment along the centre of the roadway in Oxford-street ; while the surveyors proposed Picca dilly or the Strand in preference, as the sewer was more in the centre of the street, the estimated ex pense being for each shaft 12s. 6:l.—a trilling sum, the reports stated, if balanced with the immense ad vantage derived from an improved atmosphere in the operations of the servants of that Court. After some discussion, in which the Ch a i rman, Mr. Leslie, Mr. All ason , Mr. Willoughby, and other Commissioners took part, it was determined to try thirty of them in different parts of the district, to test their usefulness. The CHAIRMAN then said that the next subject for their consideration were the forms and materials of sewers; and the clerk would read to the Court that part of Messrs. Allason, Harrison, and - Cantvvell's re port which bore upon them. The clerk read the report, as also that of Mr. John White, and the surveyors. Mr. Jour( WHITE then remarked at considerable length upon the surveyors' report, and contended that the plans and sections exhibited by them to the Court were his own, but greatly det er i ora t e d. H e h ad carefully examined their sections where differing from those he had laid upon the table, and he was still of opinion that the latter were, as regarded eco nomy of cost and durability of construction, superior to.the forms at present in use, or those advocated by the surveyors. Mr. BALDWIN was sorry that the Hon. Commis sioner had remarked in such a strain upon the report sent in by their surveyors. He thought those officers ought to be perfectly independent in their opinions, at the same time that they exhibited every courtesy towards Hon. Commissioners. Mr. WHITE had thought that the report had at tacked his professional character, but having been now assured that it was not so, he was perfectly satisfied. Mr. HawEists, the assistant-surveyor, having al luded to several portions of Mr. White's speech, thought that that gentleman was labouring under a misapprehension with respect to Mr. Dowley's and his (Mr. Hawkins's) views. Mr. BALDWIN thought that it would be better if that Court would refer the reports they had heard read, andthe several sections accompanying them, to two or more eminent architects or surveyors, when the Court, having the opinion of these professional men to guide them, would the better be able to come to a conclusion upon the subject. The CHAIRMAN recommended that some Hon. Commissioner should lay a substantive motion upon the table. Mr. WHITE moved that the form of sewer to be afterwards used by that Court should be built after the forms submitted by himself. The motion was seconded by Mr. BALDWIN. Mr. KENDALL proposed, and Mr. GUTCH seconded an amendment, that the forms submitted by the sur • veyors he those adopted. Mr. LESLIE was opposed to both. He did not think there was a very great difference between the form recommended by the surveyors and that of Mr. John White; but he said again, he objected to both of them, because he thought the top of the sewer was placed where the bottom ought to be. He found, on examination, that the egg-shaped sewer was the best form for every purpose, and that its durability was equal, if not superior, to any other. It was singularly notorious that that Court had maintained the form of upright-sided sewer with great pertinacity, although it was generally admitted not to be nearly so strong as the curved side. Now, one of his oVec tions to the plan propou n d e d by Messrs. Harrison, Allason, and Cantwell, was that it was straight-staled. He had been at the trouble to copy an opinion be the celebrated Sir J o h n R enn i e u p on th e proper form and construction of a sewer, and he would read it to the Court. (The Hon. Commissioner then read the opinion given by Sir John Rennie, that the sewer ought to be made like a canal tunnel, the bottom an inverted arch, and the sides curved. He stated that good stone was the best material for its construction, but as its expense would exceed all reasonable bounds, and as well burned bricks, laid in mortar, would last for ages, he had no hesitation in saying they should be used.) Such was that most eminent man's opinion, but he (Mr. Leslie) supposed that all the Commis sioners present had looked at it, for it had been in that office for forty years, although it had never been acted upon. He would now offer his opinion why he thought the plan adopted in the Holborn and Fins bury district still better than that of Sir J. Rennie, or the others then before them. The egg-form ap peared to him like a wedge, which would slip, it' he might say so, into the earth, thereby requiring less cutting, and of course less expense than at psesent. There was another thing to which he would like to call their attention, although perhaps at the expense of a laugh at himself. He thought that something in the form of pitch would be a capital protection for :heir inverts. He thought it could be done at little nest, and give great security. Ile was decidedly op posed to stone, on account of the expense and price of labour. There were many miles of Holborn and Fin' mry done in this form, and evidence had been riven before the Rouse of Commons' Commissio n to show that it was most durable in construction. Ile tl,jiseted to put in the bricks in blocks ; he would wish rhe:n put in, as in the tunnel, cemented in single bricks. Ile would not detain them longer, but he would strongly impress upon the Court, at this time, the necessity of getting a permanent form of sewer at as cheap a rate at possible.—(llear, hear.) He acknowledged that the forms proposed now were a great improvement upon that at present in use, but lie wished the Court to try the form adopted by the Holborn and Finsbury diviston. • Mr. WHITE would mention one circumstance that had come under his own observation. He found that many of the stones of Old London-bridge were ace tually coated with pitch. Mr. Wierouonny said that while there existed so many opinions upon the proper forms of sewers, they ought, before deciding, to be very sure that they had got the proper form. There could be no one more ready to remedy any evil than he was, and if the evil were universal, he would be most happy to receive the universal remedy for it. But here a discussion had its first origin in the failure of the sewerage in the Harrow-road, and some other places —an evil which might be accounted for by the shifting of earth, or half a dozen other causes. Engineers, practical men, were not decided unon any one form of sewer, for the form that might he perfectly applicable to one locality would he quite unsuited for another. —(Hear, hear.) The present form in use had been found of very general application, and if peculiar cir cumstances, or a peculiar locality, called for another construction of sewer, he had no objection that such sewer should be constructed under such circum stances or in such locality. There were other things; there were economy to Ite considered in this matter. They had to consider what was of much higher itn portance—a system of permanent sewerage. He thought that economy, within reasonable limits, wes the very last consideration. But why, he would ask, if the present form were ba 1, did their surveyors Permit them to remain so long in error? Why were forty years allowed to expire ere this improved system was brought before their notice. They had wiles on miles of sewerage of a perpendicular form, and it had already lasted, and would, he felt sure, exist for series of years, and that was a fact of greater conse quence and of greater weight than any mere theo retical opinion—even of Sir John Rennie or any dqually eminent man. Let them really be certain that the form they adopte.l would he better before they dispensed with what they had fount to be go.xl. --4 Tear, hear.) He thought that by acting on the spur of the moment, the Court was acting ra-hly an,i intemperately:—(Hear, hear.) His own opinion was, and he was borne out by many eminent men, that the perpendicular form of sewer was less liable to accident, and easier of construction, than the cir cular sides.

Mr. BALDWIN said that any one at all acquainted with mathematics must be aware that lateral pressure could be best resisted by a circular -formed sewer. He thought it was no reason why they should not make an experiment of any proposed form because a system had existed for forty or fifty years, and had been found to do well, simply because no better had been attempted. If the Couri allowed him, he would throw out a suggestion that wood, hardened upon Payne's principle, might be tried instead of brick or stone for the bottoms of sewers. He had tried it on soine property of his in Ireland, and found it to ar4swer all purpose,s,of drainage better than bricks. ghe CHAIRMAN said that his friend (Ur. Wil- Di:VIERS. Messrs.

P. P. Smith, Esq., Truro. The object of this undertaking is to connect the port of Fal. mouth with the Naval Station at Plymouth, and by the South Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways, with Bristol, where the great lines of railway communication with the Metropolis, and the North of England now meet, and thus to bring Falmouth, the most Westernly Port in the Channel, within eleven hours of London, and fourteen hours of Liverpool and Manchester. The works of the South Devon Railway from Exeter to Ply mouth, being now in rapid progress, with a view to completion in two years, the time has arrived when it becomes essential to bring forward the plan for a western extension in conjunction with the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, and South Devon Railway Companies. The Provisional Committee having laid the_plans and estimates of construction, and the traffic case in detail, before the Directors of these Companies, they have agreed to unite in contributing 250,0007. to the capital of this Railway. The Associated Companies having thus identified themselves with this undertaking, the Cornwall Railway Company will have the advantage, in its operations, of the advice and assistance of Members of their Boards, and the works will be carried on with the approbation, and under the supervision, of the experienced and talented officers of these Companies. A large proportion of the leading landed Proprietors in the County, have given assurances of support in Land and Money —a considerable local connexion has been formed, and a large number of Shares have been taken up, and no opposition or difficulty is anticipated in obtaining the Act. The necessary steps have therefore been taken to bring a Bil before Parliament in the next Session for constructing the Corn wall Railway. From the surveys that have been made by Captain Moorsom, C. E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within three quarters of a mile of St. Germans, touching Liskeard, near to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St. Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. From Truro the course of the line would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with the greet Mining and Western districts of the County, and from thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth. The proposed line will pass through the richest and most densely peopled Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural districts of Cornwall. In the principal parts of these districts, the habits of the people are peculiarly locomotive. A. large and constant passenger traffic already exists of a description which would be immensely increased by the facilities of Railway communication. The line will be connected on the north with the Wadebridge and Bodmin Railway, the Newquay Railway, and the Caradon Railway, and on the south the Par and Pentewan Railways, and the Looe and Liskeard Canal, from each of which a Considerable amount of valuable traffic will be brought upon the Cornwall Rail way, and the communication svith the ports on the north and south coast greatly facilitated. The Eastern mining districts of Cornwall and Devon, around Callington, Tavistack, and Liskeard, are much connected with the central and western Mines of St. Austell, Tywardreath, Gwen_ nap, aedruth, Camborne, and Penzance, and between these popu. lons and important districts a constant and increasing Intercourse exists. The completion of the Railway from Penzance, which passing through the great western mining districts, will join the proposed line of the Cornwall Railway between Truro and Falmouth, and for which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will bring a great accession of crank from those district. The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself Important and of great local advantage, but will in fact be the terminus of a metropolitan trunk line, and also the terminus of a line from the great manufacturing districts of the North, so that the carriage which leaves London in the Evening, will be at Falmouth in the Morning, after eleven hours' journey, and the Passengers from Manchester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth in fourteen hours. It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines now formed, or in progress, from Dover on the east, to Penzance in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these sources, flowing to and from our western possessions. The well.known advantages and capabilities of the Port of Fal mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Cominis_ sioners appointed by Government in 1840, to Inquire into thecom parative merits of the Ports then suggested by the Mail Packet Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South. West Land's. end, and a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where the mails might with facility be put on board and landed, they would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port In the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the Mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, tho Mediterran ean , an d a ll our transatlantic pos. sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro.. ceeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident from the anxietyalways felt by those who have endured - a long sea 'voyage to reach the shore, and from the desire which most persons - feel to avoid the delays and danger of the Channel navigation. The reasons which now induce outward.boupd Indiamen to call at Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railroad shall bring that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis. The largely increasing number of vessels, which even under the present mode of travelling, eau, whether for passengers or orders, at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent, ma y be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the usual increase upon the existing trade, which is, alone Sufficient to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous investment. The estimated expense of the line, including the cost of land, preliminary and Parliamentary expenses, stations, and working stock, doee not exceed the sum of 900,000/. which is to be raised by 18,000 shares of 501. each. The accompanyil.g estimate of Traffic, deduced from very care. ful. observation made at twenty. three different stations on the roads, shows the following result, viz :- 11,804 From Passengers by coaches and other public conveyances .................................... £56,576 Post.chaises, private carriages, cars, gigs, &c. .................. d . o . ,:C d . . s o:r . n . 8 :,. c ..

Cornwall possesses within itself great facilities for the con. struction and maintenance of Railways. all artswohfich Engines and other Ma. the World. th e a ble Engi• h i l n t e s r n y u a nt r e e r f o o u r s w a F r o d u e n d d r t i o es neers who are brought up within it, and the skill and enterprise of its labouring population, will all conduce to the cheap and good construction of the line and works. The Committee cannot but express their fullest confidence, that the dense population of ,this County, and its locomotive habits, its rich and important mineral produce, the S outh-Western position, unrivalled safety and capabilities of its harbours, not excee d e d by any Porta in the Kingdom, its genial climate, po ssess i ng m ild ne ss and uniformity not surpassed by the South of Franc; which has long rendered it the resort of invalids, the early productions of Its soil, and the anticipated restoration to Falmouth of the Packet Establishment, will all contribute to produce a satisfactory return on the capital invested, and secure to Cornwall that pre-emi nence it has always till now enjoyed as the high road to the Indian, Peninsular, and transatlantic portions of the World. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per anaum on the deposit, and on subse quent calls, from the time of payment into the Rankers' hands, until the Railroad may be opened for traffic; and no Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit o f 31. per Share until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. A deposit of M. per Share will be payable at the Bankers on the allotment of the Shares, and the Subscribers' agreement and Par liamentary contract, must be signed on or before the 31st day of December next.

We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, hut cordially wish every one who is the victim ofpast folly, or suffer ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaint; which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style iu which this book is written, and the valuable tints it conveys to the.ar who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

FDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co. ; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. 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 burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, mod their affording so large an !mount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Del mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and CO., Sutton-street, Clerkemvell.

This SAUCE is patronised and recommended by most Faintlief; in the Kingdom, and as a Sauce for general use it stands unrivalled. It Is retailed by all respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Vendors in the Kingdom. Be particular in asking for " COCKS'S READING SAUCE," warranted to keep twenty years in any climate.—All others are Counterfeits.—Observe the name " J. & C. COCKS," oa the Seal and Label of each Bottle. BOTANIC WATER and BEAR'S GREASE. When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effec tual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above named articles, applied alternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as stimulant, - and the bear's grease as a nou risher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving she hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer.

Yesterday Mr. William Baker, deputy coroner for the eastern division of the county of Middlesex, resumed and concluded the inquiry touching the death of Jane Gregory, aged 27, whose death, it was alleged, had been occasioned by the administration of some poison by a young man, named Alfred Edwards, now in custody on the charge. The inquest was adjourned on Monday last for the purpose of the contents of the bottle, as well as the fluid found in the stomach of deceased upon the post mortcm examination, being analysed by Dr. Leeson, of St. Thomas's Hospital. On the reassembling of the jury yesterday, Dr. Henry Beaumont Leeson was sworn.—He deposed that he is assistant physician and lecturer on chemistry and forensic medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital. .He had examined the contents of the stomach, but found no poison therein. The stomach itself witness had boiled in distilled water, and then filtered. Ile then added a solution of sulphurretted hydrogen gas. He again boiled it, and obtained a black precipitate, which by reduction with the blowpipe and charcoal yielded a globule of metallic lead, which he produced to the court and jury. Witness thought that, if any prepa ration of lead had been swallowed, it must hare been vomited out of the body, except that portion produced. The solution obtained from the stomach also indicated the presence of prussic acid, probably arising from bitter almonds having been made use of in flavouring the so-called brandy bitters. There was trace also of prussic acid in the contents of the stomach. The liquid in the bottles submitted to him by Mr. Smith, the surgeon, neither of them contained sugar of lead or any preparation of lead, but both contained a very large pro portion of spirit, being above one half absolute alcohol. They appeared to be coloured with saffron, and flavoured very strongly with bitter almonds, as well as other ve getable extracts, which rendered the application of che mical tests almost impossible. The inference he drew from the examination was that he thought it improbable that so large a portion of the lead should have been found combined with, and adhering to, the stomach itself, unless a quantity of some preparation of lead had been swallowed, and could only attribute the not being able. to detect any satisfactory trace of lead in the stomach from its having been removed by vomiting or purging. If sugar of lead had been added to the liquid in the bot tle, there would have been no difficulty in detecting it. If administered, it must have been mixed in the cup- ut the time it was given to deceased, or given to dece'ased separately. The appearance of the stomach was to that produced by any irritant poison. The brand) and bitters itself, containing so large a portion of alcohol and the essential oil Of almond being very deleterious would, if taken in sufficiently large quantities, rodnce serious illness, and even death. The presence of the lead detected in the stomach appeared to be a icost re markable indication of poison having been purposely ad ministered. Mr. Smith, surgeon, who had made the post mo t i on examination of the body, re-examined—ln his opinion death was occasioned by inflammation of the stomach, caused by the introduction of deadly poison. Four drachms of sugar of lead would be sufficient to de stroy life. On the part of the accused, it was shown by the evi dence of three witnesses that they had drank a portion of brandy bitters, similar to that which had been given to the deceased, without its having any injurious effects; hut one of them admitted that he and another had been very ill subsequently, but attributed it to having drank an immoderate quantity. A sister of deceased accounted for the sugar of lead being in her possession; by stating that she wanted to set the colour of a dress - which she had been washing, and that the accused had procured it for her. The Coroner summed up the evidence in a clear manner, commenting upon those parts which bore more immediately upon the question, and explained the law as applicable to the case. The jury retired at six o'clock, and after a consultation of nearly three hours' duration, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Alfred Edwards." --- STATE Or TRADE AT LIVERPOOL.—The general as pect of commercial affairs is unchanged ; there is a re gular demand for produce of all descriptions, and, with few exceptions, prices continue yielding to superabundant supplies. There never was a time when the range of quotations for the leading. articles of commerce would bear comparison with the low rates now current. We have seen years when particular trades have suffered great depression, and prices of some articles have in consequence declined ; but now, with the capi tal of the country of leis value in the market than we have ever known it, and money so plentiful that the difficulty is to find 'investment for it—with a manu facturing trade thriving in every direction, and the working classes of all descriptions better employed • than they have been f or some years —it is indeed remarkalA that merchants should find themselves compelled to do business on the' unsatisfactory terms that almost all are suffering by, in: somuch that the losses on the import trade of the , last six months would far exceed the profits of the entire year. The present is a state of things that well demands attention in high quarters ; and more than ever. mow should the argument be brought forward, that low duties will stimulate consumption, that the in crease d i mports twill thereby: be t a k en off; and the revenue of the country Deed not suffer.—Liverpool hirrcury. HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE AND ITS RAIL IVATS.—The works tit the above bridge are nearly at a stand still, owing to the intention of the Direct o rs t o apply at the n ext meeting of Parliament for a Bill to them to throw'a railway across the- Thames 'a& joining the suspension -bridge, and to erect railways to Richmond, the terminus' of the South-Western and Brighton and Dover Railways. For some days past surveyors have beeri etnployed in measuring the ground from Godi ng ' s B rewery to London-bridge, taking the proposed line through Ann-street, Waterloo-road, across the latter road, at the rear of the south side of Stamford: street, across the Blackfriars-road, through Church street, across Green-Walk. Holland -street, Southwark bridge-road, at " the...rear of Barclay's brewery, to St. Saviour's-churchyard, *lmre it will join the Brighton and Dever railways. SINGULAR Gnousa..--On the 31st ult.,' Mr: Heath cote, son-in-law of Lord Willoughby, shot upon the Drummond estate a grouse with three wings —the third being a full-grown wing upon its back. It was sent to be stuffed to Daniel Ferguson, Bridge-end, Crieff, qui is rlow, ill.Drummond.:Castlei—rlt'erth Advertiser - • - aghby) seemed to feel very strongly on the att • of the report sent in by the surveyors. These officers, he must remember, did not feel themselves authorised to make suggestions as to the propriety of introducing a new form of sewer until an I - lon. Commissioner ex hibited some sections, when they were ordered by the Court to report upon the subject. They did not call in question the stability of the present form--they confirmed it—but they said that as there were cu.- cum itances in which the perpendicular form might be disadvantageous, they therefore proposed that now before the Court, as combining all the excellencies of the old with the superiority of the new, and at the same time be applicable under every circumstance. It was the fashion now-a-days to have something empirical in every scheme. There was-a royal road to knowledge now, and they had the universal ' medicine ; and now it was also that they had discovered that a curvilinear form of sewer was the best for all purposes. He himself would decidedly support the plan exhibited by the surveyors, and with respect to that proposed by Mr. Leslie, he dissented from it, because in most cases even a rise of water in the sewers to the height of three inches would throw it back into the houses. After some further observations the original motion and amendment were put from the Chair, when the latter was carried. The next business to consider was as to alterations in the forms of contracts under advice of counsel ; and substituting the following for Llw N 0.103 : " That the mode adopted under the 103 d standing order of taking bonds from the contractors and the sureties be abandoned, and that in future articles of agreement under seal be entered into by the contrastor with six of the Commissioners on behalf of the 10301070 T the Commissioners, and that the terms of the tenderbe incorporated in such articles of agreement, and that* sfparate bond be taken from the contractor and his si reties for the performance of the articles of agree ment." The motion was unanimously agreed to, and the Court adjourned. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. THIIRSDAY.—The performances of this morning em braced the two first acts of the Creation, the Hymn of Praise by Mendelssohn, an d a se l ec ti on fr om I srae l in Egypt. Two of these works are so wellknown, that erit'cism among their respective excellencies hies long ceased to be necessary. They have taken their station among those product Tons of genius that the world agree to hold in admiration. The one is tt display of grace, and the other of grandeur; for Israel in Egypt unfolds in a higher degree than any other of his oratorios its author's essential characteristic. Chorus succeeds to chorus; descriptive of Egypt's successive plagues, while Han,l-,1 scarcely stoops to interrupt his majestic march by the interposition of a song. Haydn mingles the most graceful melodies, in all their varied forms and combinations, with the splendour of his choruses, and adds the rich charm of his diversified accompaniment to the whole. He fascinates ; but Handel elevates the hearer's mind. Mendelssohn's Lobrgesang bldongs rather to the modern than the old German school, and even those of his predecessors, is frequently discernible. This work has been heard in London, and the judgment our metropolitan critics has been pronounced upon it. The singers this morning acquitt( d themselves with their accustomed ability, and the varied attraction of the morning drew a very numerous audience to the Cathedrdl. 'he evening's concert comprised more pieces of ac ,wl:dged and sterling excellence than either of the ones. It commenced with the Sinfonia Pas- Pi'ec'e' iorale of Beethoven, which probably- was thought by mail of its auditors somewhat long ; at least so it ap peared. But we ought not to marvel that a 'country au dience fail to discern and appreciate the design and the beauties of a composition which even the Philharmonic hand discovered and displayed only after repeated trials. Madame Caradori Allan sang, a:id Williams accom panied, J'arto, ma to ben mio admirably ; and Manvcrs displayed power, execution, and good taste in // mio tcsoro. A pretty duet by Gabussi exhibited the neat execution and happy combination of voices which the Misses Williams have attained. Miss Barrett's "Should he upbraid" was very successful, perhaps not the less so that she is a native of Gloucester. The concert (the last of the present festival) concluded with " Uod save the Queen." The room was well at tended, and it is hoped that the present meeting will prove sufficiently successful to insure its conlisuance at the usual interval. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

'rim FOGS ON THE RlVER.—During the last two days London has been visited by fogs thicker and darker than we usually find them at this early period of autumn. Some accideets have, in consequence, occurred to the steam-boats on the river, which occasioned much annoy twee and considerable alarm among the passengers. One of the boats belonging to the Diantend Company, the Gem, was run into on Wednesday morning, by the Waterman, No. 4. Her larboard paddle-box was carried p o away, and the wheel so damaged that she was unable to on n roc b e n e ad proceed on , a h n e d r voyage. it i%,aa most providential rere nearly tl 3 ia o t no one 300 persons chanced to be in the cabins or closets attached to the pa ddle-box at the moment of the accident. The vessel was obliged to bring up alongside the Tender, off th e Tower, ,here she remained until the next boat belong ing to the satne company, the Ruby, came up, which took on her passengers. At the time of this occurrence thu Gem was going down at the rate of about five knots an hour, the Vat , man, in the opinion of a nautical gentle man in the former boar, coming up at full speed, or most certainly at a rate unsafe, considering the state of the a a Is t and a'shl:tr,' to :;‘,l,oll:ls.n'ahmesheeßmube)t. company,thh had d Topaz, scarcely Nvi ie h another suffered r e d d v vessel s from o l milebe longing lcr t S ow h rh e ee: h el h a tnlhoeatrl destination. i o n s g t he r sufferedsh lar boardemp s paddle-box,y sdamageirl e accident.w abuts ableh her r h afterwards returned to Gravesend, and came back with out any repairs havi ng b een effected, to the great a l arm and intUgnation of many of the passengers, who, as the captain was c are f u l to keep the larboar d s id e o f his ve ss el off th4-shore, knew nothing of her condition until they were booked on b oard. 'ruin NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, " ARTIUUR 4RUNDP.I.," BY THE AUTHOR OF 4 , BRAMBLETVE House , —" li the author of these volumes," observes the Globe, "were not already known, and his nerary reputation established in public favour, vs' the legitimate result of repeated success, this tale of the English Revolution would at once place him high above all danger of being to fortune and to fame unknown.' Even 'with the triumphs of former works, throwing a halo around his name, and producing an anticipation in the reader's mind cl," powerful interest in the perusal of Horace Smith's new work, there is no sense of disappointment. The interest is kept up from the first page of the first volume to the concluding paragraph of the last. When the time-beguiling process of perusal is completed, the act of recalling the well-wrought-up incidents and the finely• portrayed cheractets of the earrative, opens up fresh font tains of delight, and impresses the mind with *hat has been as gratifying to the taste, as it was interesting to the feelings of the reader during the perusal."
