The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, Coining from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, Snd proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Afthbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and 31allehatter Railways, into Manchester. .A branch to Buxton is In contemplation. ?ma principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest 'expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and 31archester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the Inhabitants. The Caine will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Regby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugbv, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro- Jetts' into Manchester, among others, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line tom London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it luterferes wills no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich In manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which —more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns iii the vicinity —has been hitherto left to tally without railway communication. Fifth. That it avoiding them. passes through the towns In Its route, instead of Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester swill be completed and in working order within ten mon th s f rom the passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventh. That the mgaoprsd,eprolansof,pesartliimaates, and other documents Peace e f nt will be lodged with the required by the standla counties, and the D clerks, the clerks of the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of Noveomrberhenext, being twenty ns of Parliament. days within the time required by the regulati e In the allotment of shares a preference - tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the llovneld.Ontt'atlindeßeixr wsingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company ;of 1,000 'bares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2 ' °°° sinus /I to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

The Chester and Wolverhampton Railway is a direct line from London to Livarpool. It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham ; from thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on the Grand Junetien or on the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Binning ham Railway. From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of railway, passing through the rich agricultural districts of Newport and White church on to Chester. At Chester it proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway on to Birkenhead. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a steans-ferry, gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both towns Into one. A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the extent of 15,000 to the original shrreholders in the Rugby, Derby, and Man chester Railway Company, on their sending in their application for the same. A proper reservation of shares will be made for the London and Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead, and Warwickshire Railways, being the railways by means of which the project now submitted to the public is the most direct Louden and Liverpool Railway that can be made. A list of most influential London and Local Directors will be pub. lished in a few days, together with a detailed list of Bankers, Agents, &c., in the different towns on the line. In the meantime, apAications for shares may by addressed to the Solicitor or any of the Agents o the Company, in the following form : DIRECT LONDON AND LIVERPOOL RIILWAT.

The great principal on which the projectors of this lmportau scheme have acted, is the establishment of . dir.ot nne of cortiwa nicatin. bot..-oc” 111an111.6110.1u anu Birkenhead, by the nearest pos sible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object, it is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as far as Wolver hampton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction as possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the rail way already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most important saving of distance will thus be effected. It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with eoueequenoes of the highest possible import to the commercial interests of the reopee tire districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de mands a more direct communication with the midland, southern, western, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its destined greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the most lucrative of these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic which flow from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this line In is straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense ' t'irough traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness and expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of Muth Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford shire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp tonshire, and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as rum London and the important districts to the south, east, and west f themetropolis. Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident hat this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of M counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this Air her and great advantage—that It will, in reality, form a shorter and :Lore direct line to the neighbourhood of Liverpool and the district L tjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means r the contemplated line from Chester to Holyhead, it will open the honest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the !clay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec ion of the map of England, and a reference to the plan of this line wi!l Llso show that the Trent Valley, London and Birmingham, Ulna' whore old Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the , rojected itaffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily be valuable tributaries to this important line of railway. The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by way of Market Drayton to Chester; and although in its direct course it may not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering difficulties of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local influence brought into co-operation with this Company. In the formation of this line the extensive iron district of Lilleshall has been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of transit afforded by this Company, the ironmasters of South Stafford shire will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they have hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charge for freight. The Provisional and Managing Committee are In the course of selection, and will be published in a few days, with other parti cu l ars. Applications for Shares to be m a d e t o Mr. W R.

PRELIMINARYANNcruNcEM RAILWAY CLUB HOUSE, CHAMBERS, and GENERAL GOODS DEPOT COMPANY. (Provisionally Registered.) FREEHOLD INVESTMENT. Capital, 300,0001., in 12,000 Shares of 251. each. . Deposit, 11. 7s. 6d. per Share. (In compliance with the recent Psrliamentary Orders.) Railways have now assumed a greater importance in the world oi traffic and business than any public enterprise British genius has yet contemplated, whether we consider them in a national point of view, as tending to the advancement of trade and commerce, or as a pro fitable fund for the investment of capital. The many millions ex pended in the prosecution of existing lines ; thethaeddlaitrigoanalawmatilltititonasf subscribed for those projected or in progress ; interest annually paid to shareholders; and the high price of shares (in many cases double their original costLmanifesmt tethlaienesppuusbbhlhioccui, should be in these undertakings. To protect capital so embarked, adequate adopted to combine the convenience a n d safety of the protection and the interest of the Directors and Shareholders. The Government have regarded the increase of railways to be so nationally important, as to deem it expedient to create, for the pur pose of watching over the system, a new department of administra ptahratt o p f h t e h e e t a r G . o a v n e d r 1 Proprietorsnooftithaoi7veavye sr r t iom, has n n d . e r e l d ' h i i t s less p o e o c e n s s t a h r e y i s n h te ot r d e d sts c . o-operato for the protection of their several a n d united No areangement would so well effect this desirable obj ec t as a General Union Board of the whole of the Railway Companies, re_ presented by appointed Delegates from each Direction, to meet poll 4-slically, and establish such regulations as would tend to the general pod. 10 facilitate this purpose, It is proposed to erect in the most central part of the metropolis a spacious and commodious fire-proof edifice, comprising suitable ranges of Offices for Railway Companies,*privato Committee-rooms, a spacious Hail for Annual and General Meetings, and an extensive range of Warehouses as a general goods depot fur railway transit. The various departments of the proposed establish ment will, amongst other important and eligible appointments, include THE RA 11. WA Y CLUB HO USE. The Railway Club-house will afford great convenience ; it will be supplied with every information relating to Railways, with maps and sectional drawings of each line, with models and plans of all im proved modes of construction. There will be also Publications of all the Scientific Works on Engineering and Railway Mechanism ; the London and Country Daily Papers ; the British and Foreign Share Lists ; Parliamentary Notices, Reports and decisions on Railway Bills ; a Registry Mart for the disposal of all kinds of machinery and other railway property—locomotive engines, gear, surplus land, &c. The Club will be open for Members connected with Railways, whe ther British or foreign, and such other Persons as may be recom mended and approved Lf by the Committee, or by ballot. THE CHAMBERS. The Chambers will be constructed on an improved principle, and be supplied with office, furniture, desks, book-cases, &c. Water will be laid on to every story—there will be a complete system of venti lation and heating throughout the building, and gas-lights titled to each apartment. The whole will form one of tho most commodious offices in the City, available fur public Companies or private in- THE GENERAL GOODS DEPOT AND RAILWAY WAREHOUSES. _ These will be on a most extended scale, and established on the same principle as the dry docks at Liverpool, which, it is presumed, will be found most convenient for the country manufacturer, and the export and import merchant for the warehousing or transit of home or foreign produce. To the London merchant and metropolitan commercial trading establishment this department will prove very useful and economical, as goods can be forwarded to the Central Depot, and from thence be conveyed to any of the termini of the metropolitan railways for country destination or foreign shipment ; or may be carefully warehoused for short or lengthened periods, and every facility will be given to the present great railway carriers, to whom separate departments will be assigned. To the Railway Companies in general, inch an establishment will be essentially useful, as every Company subscribing to the Club will have all the convenience of an office in the centre of London, where communication may be had with every Company throughout the kingdom. By the adoption of this plan, a general representation of all t he railways will at once be had, w h ere b y an effective union for their mutual interests will take place, and a general public good will The whole will be established. be sneerintended by an efficient Comm tee of An eligible and exteneiveg Management. seltev;erntlguous to the Royal Exchange, purpome, bftylilsealb.culated for carrying out the Bank, and Stock Exchan whole of the above Vey and estimate is now bein g mad . b n axed upon, a careful our y eminent surveyors who con sider that (after allowing a liberal sum for the expense of manage ment) the revenue arising from the annual rental of offices let to Railway Companies, the hire of the Public Hall and Committee rooms for general and private meetings, the annual subscriptions from members of the Club, and from the general goods depot and warehouses, and otherwise, that a return equal to the most flourish ing undertaking of the present day will be realised on the capital embarked.

The Provisional Committee have the pleasure to inform the ap plicants for shares in this Company, that they have received by the last Mail, from their representatives in Bombay, advice. of the cordial co-operation there of the most influential parties, both European and native, in carrying out the great objects which this Company proposes to effect. The prospectus of the Company has been approved and adopted in Bombay, and the Committees of the Bombay Great Eastern Railway, and of the Indian Railway Association of Bombay, both of local origin (the former established for making a railway from Bombay to the foot of the Ghent., and the latter for promoting railway communication with the interior of the peninsula upon a more extended scale) are taking active measures for the identifi. cation of the interests of their respective Subscribers with those of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company. It appearing also from the same advices, that the portions of the line to accommodate the great traffic connected with the staple trade, and port of Bombay, are most urgently wanted, the Pro visional Committee have it in contemplation to secure the con struction of those portions at the earliest possible period. With that object, and in accordance with their annnouncement of the 24th of July last, stating that the allotment would take place after the receipt of advice. from India, they propose to commence by the issue of 40.000 shares of the intended capital of the Company (a like number being now in course of allocation in India), reserv. ing the residue fer future distribution, with a preference to holders of original shares. Pursuant to this altered course of procedure, parties who have already applied for shares are at liberty to withdraw their applisa tions should they be so disposed, and to meet such contingency the Provisional Committee will receive new appligs until the Bth of o_tober next, w h en th ey w ill procee d to otment of the shares.

Morning .. 0 minutes after 1 Evening ... 20 minutes after 1 • every unprejudiced and unperverted mind must —and we are satisfied did—believe to be a clear and positive acquittal. The moral presumptions in this af fair corroborate this inference, too, in a manner singu larly illustrated by the fact of the connexion itself. If that connexion with an unfortunate undertaking was a mere error in judgment, the mistake may impugn Mr. Alderman WOOD'S astuteness as a judge of joint-stock companies ; but the fiercest extra vagance of party spirit or personal enmity could not presume to rely on such an error as a valid or moral ground of disqualification for high municipal office. If the connexion be said to have originated in views of another character—in purposes of fraud or deception, or of realising money by dishonest and unworthy means— the justification of such a charge should be found in the ill-gotten gains of Mr. Alderman WOOD. But one out of the two objections started to him as a candidate for the Mayoralty has been, that he is too poor. Now, the direct, natural, and reasonable conclusion is, that had he allied himself with a specula tion, in order to make money out of it by any means; or that had he, having embarked in it and discovered it to be a losing instead of a paying concern, determined on attempting to cheat others by such unfounded re presentaticns as thGuld induce them to accept the trans fer of his interest in it on term mutually settled between them, he would have secured to himself at least such an amount of pecuniary compensa tion as might have made him some money amends (if such amends are to be found) for his wilful sacrifice of principle and character. But if his declaration at the time, the result of the examination instituted into the facts by indifferent persons, the reiterated averments of his friends on former occasions, and the present objec tion that has been started by his enemies all corroborate the fact that he lost his money by the connexion in question, instead of acquiring that of others; that he is not wealthy but the reverse, the result is inevitable. We are bound to presume him culpable in no higher degree than for an error of judgment, and that to the prejudice of his own interests and fortune. This disposes of the case of moral disqualification which it has been sought to set up against him, and ought to have been allowed its full re action in his favour. If he have been on three former occasions the victim of an unfounded, and, therefore, unmaintainable imputation, that fact alone ought to have determined,the balance of the Livery's opinion in his favour on the fourth. He had been grossly wronged; they ought to have now generously, although still tardily, done him right. With regard to the municipal disqualification of Mr. WOOD'S not being " rich enough" for the office of Lord Mayor, it is clearly one that neither can, nor ought to avail in ary case of this kind. The question of fortune thus raised is at best but one of degree. It is to be deter mined in ten thousand ways, according to the varying views, it may be, of each of ten thousand different electors. Therefore, it would be a test as absolutely impracticable as it is theoretically superfluous. No man, not even the bitterest of the Alderman's enemies, has attempted to say that he is labouring under that pinching want of means, that sordid poverty, which takes him out of the rank of life his civic distinction and professional standing identify him with. He is, all admit, lifted far above that pinch ing in competency of means that would raise the presumption among even the most jealous elec toral constituency that he would be likely to be swayed by improper appeals to his purse, or incapa ' We of resisting the influence of temptations that are (and falsely and cruelly enough, by the way), supposed to be irresistible with the positively needy. He is not even proved to be a patron of or subscriber to bubble corn panics or speculation, and is therefore less likely to be unduly biassed on large questions affecting the interests of the metropolis than other al dermen, for example, who carry about them, as we have heard, railway scrip and receipts sufficent to require their being carried about in hackney-cabs to and from the civic courts of police and criminal law. This being so, with what force can influential members of the independent corporation of the greatest and most powerful city in the world require a mere quali fication, far beyond any exacted by law in can didates for the office of their chief magistrate ? A money qualification, vague, undefined, and indetermi nable—a qualification, in virtue of which the late N. M. ROTHSCHILD ought to have been made Lord Chief Justice, from his abundant endowment in it, if an alderman is to be excluded from presiding in the administration of the City's legal and municipal busi ness, solely by reason of his having but a limited por. Lion of it. Mr. Alderman WOOD is, however, a man of business, a good lawyer, an unexceptionable magis trate--circumstances that aggravate the injustice, the cruelty which, we contend, have been shown to him in this renewed exclusion of him from the chair of the Lord Mayor. We trust he will still persevere in offering him self again to the Livery when the opportunity arrives ; and we have little doubt of his success. It is hard in deed to have put such a necessity upon him ; but we feel confident that justice will ultimately affirm his claim. The French Opposition journals for years have shown a strong disposition to excite a bad feeling between Eng land and France. The journal under the influence of that warlike statesman and unfair historian, M. TRIERS, displays occasionally great respect for England, and ap parent desire to remain on good terms with her, but, at the same time, never fails to place every misunderstand ing between the two countries on the worst footing, and is only restrained from using strong language in consequence of the connexion which its patron has with the Court of Lours PHILIPPE. Those, however, who act on the principle of worshipping the rising sun, who court the favour of the Duke DE NEMOURS, and still more that of the young admiral, the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, are less guarded in their language, and seem anxious to keep up a feeling of jealousy between the two first states in the world, with the hope that on a fitting opportunity the national antipathies might break out into open war. This uncharitable and de structive spirit is partly fostered, we admit, by the hatred of Republicans and Legitimatists to the Orleans dynasty, and by a conviction that if war should take place, under the auspices of the NAPOLEON of peace, France would become a republic, or be restored to the blessed sway of the worn-out Bourbon race. We can see neither love of country nor sound warlike policy in such vain aspirations. The power of the united empire is greater at present than it was at any former period. We have few ships, it is true, in commission. We have an army of only one to four as compared with that of France, and with that army we have to guard and protect numberless colonies and establishments in every part of the globe, and besides, deduct at least one-third to control the Irish Catholics and Orange Protestants These are great drawbacks, but there is abundance of money, the sinews of war, in the country. Since the last great contest, the population has increased by several millions ; the British army and navy have lost nothing of their prestige by the operations in China, and the march to Caubul and the conquest of Sinde show that the British infantry retains the same high chracter which it so nobly acquired in the Peninsula. France has not gained materially since the peace, if we except the improvement in trade, manufactures, and foreign commerce, which has taken place in consequence of the judicious and peaceful reig❑ of the present Monarch, and the progress of that very improvement would be in stantly stopped by a collision with this country. Besides France has still a large debt, amounting to nearly three hundred millions sterling ; the interest is high, the re turns from the Customs are trifling as compared with those of England, and the great burden of taxation, therefore, falls upon the land and the industry of the country. We have no wish, however, to continue the subject, or draw a full contrast in reference to a subject so little inviting. Our object is peace. England can gain nothing by additional glory, or additional conquests, and it should be the policy of her political writers, therefore, rather to soothe the irritability of our gallant neighbours than to provoke them by needless jealousy and angry dis cussions. The London press for a long time bore pa tiently with the tirades in the Opposition journals, and we can see no reason why they should change their tac tics. We, therefore, regret to see some indiscreet, and what we consider unfair, remarks about the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to the Breakwater at Brighton, and the arrival of two French steamers the other day at Sheerness. The Prince, it is said, was observed sound ing some parts off the coast of Brighton, as if for the purpose of making use of his observations at a future period. Never was any statement less entitled to credit. lle could not in fact judge of the position and efficacy of the breakwater without knowing the locality, and the supposition that be would make use of that knowledge to bombard Brighton de serves only the most supreme contempt. Civilized ec.untries in general respect towns that are not fortified, and that possess no fleets, or other means of annoying an enemy. To attack defenceless towns and villages, to destroy the property of individuals without any object but mad revenge, is repudiated by modern warfare, and such an act would throw a stain upon the French character which the French them- selves would be the first to denounce. Besides, have the French no reason to return the compliment, by proofs of which there can be no difficulty, that English ships-of -war have not occasionally, but regu larly, been employed for some time in taking soundings on the French coast? During the summer the Pe.r- cupine steamer, under Captain BULLOCK, visited Boulogne almost weekly, and the intervals were occupied in taking soundings on both OP " — Others complain that French officers wer e P er' mated to visit the docks at Portsmouth daring the St# of Louis PHILIPPE at Windsor, and still later, al° the , officers on board the two steamers which touched $' indugence.

Tjefljnnit - LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER so, 1845 The election of a Chief Magistrate of the City of London, at all times an object of natural curiosity and excitement, may be easily converted into a question of personal instead of party interest. We lament to find that Mr. Alderman T. WooD is destined again, for the third or fourth time, to experience, in his own per son, the unscrupulous eagerness with which political animosity will enlist into its service the most unwarrantable assumptions of private prepossessions or prejudice. On a former occasion we entered so largely into the exposition of the injustice which we conceived to have been brought into play against this gentleman's legitimate pretensions to the highest of civic honours, that we should feel ourselves guilty of dispa raging the force of those pretensions were we to renew our exposure of the miserable objections on which they have been hitherto challenged. But, in the course of his very sensible address of yesterday to the Livery, Mr. Alderman T. WOOD reduced them to a simple and forcible statement, which adequately demon strated all their absurdity. After noticing the fact of his own rejection and the election of Mr. Alderman JOHNSON to be Lord Mayor, he apprised the Livery that he understood there had been, in the Court of Aldermen, two objections distinctly taken to him—the one, that he was not sufficiently wealthy duly to discharge the important office of Lord Mayor ; the other, that he had some years ago embarked in a speculation that turned out a failure. It is impossible not to feel astonishment at the latter circumstance being relied on for a ground of disqualification at a time like this, when the whole City of London is steeped to the very lips in a full tide of scrip speculation. Mr. Alderman WOOD'S account of his unfortunate connexion with the Talacre Company, has always appeared to us so frank and explicit, that we could never, for our own parts, comprehend the reasonableness of that scepticism which made it expedient to refer his case to the minute inspection of third parties. But their examination and report resulted in that which r r-ti.r,y,~ ~..~-ry..- _ d _.- w -5.~...
