A correspondent has favoured us with a copy of a letter, which has been sent by the Lord Bishop of this diocese to those clergymen with cure of souls whose names appear in the lists of Provisional Committees of Railroad Companies : " Bishopstowe, Oct. 2, 1845. " Dear Sir,—Without the slightest intention of ascribing any improper purpose to you, I scruple not to call your at tention to 1 and 2 Victoria, c. 105, ss. 29, 30. "I think that the words dealing for gain or profit,' in the 29th section, taken in conjunction with the exemption in favour of benefit society, and fire or life assurance company in the 30th section, may be held to bring Railroad Companies within the provision of the statute, and therefore that the being members of Provisional Committees might possibly expose clergymen to the penalty of the statute.—l am, dear Sir, yours sincerely, "11.

THE CORPORATION NAVY.—'We are sorry to find ; from an accident which nearly swamped the Lord Mayor and neriffs a few days ago on the Thames, that the navy of the cor. - ;oration of London Is in a very deplorable condition. The civic - authorities were on board their barge, and had just made Lambeth with a fresh breeve springing up from Millbank, when the Lord _ Mayor seated in his chair of state, observed that the craft lurched _ a little to leeward, and he entreated the Sheriffs and Aldermen to _ trim the vessel, by sitting in equal numbers on each side of the - table. This seamanlike manoeuvre was performed amid a few jokes - at the Lord MayorA well known anxiety to keep a balance. The mace lay on the table, among several empty decanters and a few plates, each of which had contained sixpennyworth of sponge _ cakes, when suddenly a loud wheeze of " Ahead there!" ema - Ha t e d from the corpulentrold.coxswain who was intrusted with the - rudder, The venerable old rowers still went on, for they - being all deaf with age could no t h ear the coxswain, and • plump they drove against one of t h e piers of Westminster bridge, throwing the Mayer and the mace, the Sheriffs and the sherry, the aldermen and the sponge cakes, all together in one dreadful jumble on the floor of the vessel. The crew, who at their time of life have not the nerve to sustain a shock of the kind, could render no assistance, and the coxswain, who is the " Admiral Hyde Parker" of the City, a very gallant fellow, but completely worn i o n u d t e , ad took e t h h a a d t opportunityheen thrown eof h s sit u t a e - tion, from which tioneussion.

Wire m almost feared the Gibbs had gone to was his found d over to be be literally an under-sheriff, for everybody had When the general consternation had subsided, it the civic party had been more frightened than hurl. tuwas B foundthe that con sequences might have been very serious. The City might . and i have been is left in a state of an arc hy , w ith ou t a l eg iti ma t e sovereign , possible that a sort of cockney " Cromwell" would have declared himself Protector, and made it necessary, some 500 years hence, to inquire whether he should have a statue ? We understand that . _ a Committee will be appointed to inquire into the cause of the ac cident. Some say It was occasioned by the upstart conduct of Father Thames, who started up under the influence of a blow . _. from Boreas, which no river who feels it s own dignity., wi:l tamely stand. Father Thames should, however, learn to say, " Down, swelling bosom, down !" when the lives of the civic authorities, who are his own conservators, are dependent on his tranquillity. For our own parts, we think unskilful seamanship, caused by the very venerable state of the civic navy, occasioned the accident. The Times suggests that a barge proper, stranded with broken' oars, should be added to the civic arms, as a memento of the acci: dent ; and we think a cracked skull, placed beside the broken oars, would be still further emblematical of what might have happened. —Punch. JETROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT3.—There are two provisions in the Coal Act of last session, which are appointed to take effect on the 31st of December next, in respect to metro- politan improvements. By the 3d and 4th sections of the Act it is declared that, In order to provide a fund for the opening of poor and densely populated districts in the metropolis, or for keeping opening spaces in the immediate vicinity of the same, as a means of promoting the public convenience and health, the duty of Id per ton on coals, &c., shall, from the 31st of December, be applied to the creation of a fund for the execution of such improvements as Parliament shall direct or sanction. From the day mentioned the duty is to be laid out to form an accumulating fund until the fund shall be required for, and appropriated by Parliament, to th© execution or improvements in the metropolis. Mr. Lambert Jones has given notice of a motion in the r c iz,: r l a o l n s - t s a t r t e i :it: ; an a d mi. :!'. te si i te or f dni and 13irmingbam Railway, C nnmon Coancii, for conveying the northern part of Far td Ihdleayliolreetinp:ison to the Lon -4,1' the erection of a grand - '- trivets a similar notice for the conveyance of ' F ... - • nirect London and Manchester arringdon-market to the —__ Ashurst's line. REGENT'S CANAL. A meeting of the shareholders and others interested In the Regent's Canal, was held yesterday evening, in the large room of the Angel Inn, Islington, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the proposition of converting it into a railway. The meeting was called by those persons who, having property upon the banks, were desirous of continuing the canal as at present. Mr. Margrave, of Esdale's Saw Mills, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that it was not his intention to take a pro minent part in the proceedings, but he at the same time was ready to admit that he was one of those who, concurrently with others, was instrumental in getting up the meeting, because he thought that the contemplated change would be most disastrous to the firm he himself was associated with, one principal inducement for their having placed their works on the side of the canal being the con. venience of water carriage. He believed that the parties calling this preliminary meeting were not prepared with any plan of op. position to the railway, as they wished to hear the suggestions made by those who, like himself, would be injured by the alteration. Some altercation took place as to the exact meaning of the re quisition. Mr. GI RISSELL said that, u one of those who was opposed to the transformation of the canal into a railway, he might say that the object of the requisition was to ascertain how far they might depend upon the co-operation of those who, like himself, would be damni fied by the change. But as there might be many in the room who were opposed to the canal, he would warn any friends who might speak not to state the grounds of their opposition, because, in that case, the promoters of the railway project would no doubt prepare the very sort of evidence to meet those objections when the matter came before Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) He might say, that to himself the change would be nearly ruin, for he had expended 30,000/. upon work which, if the canal were removed, would not be worth sixpence. Mr. STARLING thought that a resolution for the formation of an association to watch over the interests of those affected would be the better way of attaining their purpose. Mr. DENNIS, of the firm of Dennis and Price, said that it ap peared to him that there was some misunderstanding, for he had seen a prospectus stating that the rails would be laid down on the northern bank, without altering the water-carriage. Mr. Gatsszu assured the meeting that such a thing would be impossible, and he read an extract from the Railway Record in support of the assertion. The cost of altering the canal to suit the purposes of a railway would be at the least, 2,500,000/. He might say further, that some of the Directors of the proposed Junction Railway were already engaged in sixteen other schemes. Mr. LAKE, agent for the De Beauvoir property, referred to the Act constituting the canal, and contended that, although there could exist no doubt that the Canal Company could, If they were so minded, sell the water-way, they must do so with the consent of those parties who had invested a large capital on the faith of the Company keeping it open; and if a committee were formed for the purpose of opposing the projected scheme, he would pledge himself that it could never be carried into execution. He would, therefore, propose this resolution—" That a large sum of money having been expended by the owners of property on the banks of the canal, on the faith of its continuance, the meeting is of opinion that any thing stopping the canal, or in any way interfering with the water way, will be destructive of the interests of all who are dependent upon it, and that, therefore, eves) , opposition should be given to the projected scheme." The resolution was seconded by Mr. SHEPPARD. Mr. YATES moved, as an amendment, "That a committee should be formed for the purpose of negotiating terms with the Railway Company."—There being no seconder, the amendment dropped. The original motion was then put and carried. Mr. LAKE again moved that a committee be appointed for the purpose of collecting information, and, if necessary, of arranging an opposition, with instructions to call a general meeting when they should deem it expedient. Mr. THORNE seconded the resolution, which was carried una. nimously. It was then moved and seconded, that the following gentlemen be empowered a committee, with liberty to add to their number : _ _ . Messrs. Lake, Sheppard, Grissell, Margrove, Thorne, Norton Pope, Lee, Sharp; and Patient. Thanks having been toted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. It was reported in Liverpool, yesterday morning, that the Great Western steamer had been on fire. Our correspondent, on making inquiries, states, that the acci dent arose from some sweepings of one of the flues of the vessel having been left very carelessly on board on Monday night, which ignited, bat was instantly put out, without the least damage being done to the vessel, or to anything on board. 6,;9IEITIELD, ROTHERHAM, BARNSLEY, WAKEFIELD, HUDDERSFIELD, and (ROLE RAILWAY.

The main line of this railway will be about fifteen miles in length. Commencing at the Wortley Station, on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, it will pass through the town of Silkston, and near to Dodworth, accommodating the whole of that valuable mining district with the most ready outlet for Its celebrated coal to all parts of the kingdom. It proceeds by Darton, Chapelthorpe, and Sandal, to Wakefield, where It will join the Leeds and Man. chNter, and the newly projected railways to Leeds and Harrogate, and to Pontefract and Goole. The inhabitants of l3arnsley will also be accommodated by a branch to that town, from the main line, giving them direct and easy communication with the north and south. The distance from Leeds to Sheffield by this line, and its con nexions northwards, will be only thirty.two miles; by the present tont° it is thirty-eight miles. The distance from Wakefield to hellield by this line will be only twenty-three miles it is now, by way of Normanton, thirty-one miles; and by way of Oakenshaw, twenty-eight miles, between two and three of which are by omni bus. • Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided, A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor, who reports that the line from Wakefield to Silkston will run with easy gradients nearly en the surface of the ground for the greater part of the way; and that the only work of any mag nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley. common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake field an ascending• gradient of 1 In 108. The works between Silkston and Wortley are of a heavier character, but in no part will the gradient be more than 1 in 112. The ruling gradient will be about 1 in 160. This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First, a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the extensive and valuable coal-fields of Silkston, Dadworth, B•arns ley; and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing and other towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hull, Selby, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass, with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of which, from the almost entire absence of good roads, as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute. An examination of the Map will show how well these objects will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern tenni. nus, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the lines extending from it to the north and east, with the projected Wakefield and Harrogate and Wakefield and Leeds lines (the latter a branch of the Leeds and Dewsbury from Churwell), and through it with the Leeds and Thirsk, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways, to the north-west and Scotland. And at Wortley, its southern terminus, it will be connected with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the projected Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Railway, the projected Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway, and the various new projects from Sheffield to the northern parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the west. The quar.tity of coal which this railway will make directly accessible to all parts of the kingdom may be estimated from the following statements given in evidence before a Committees of the House of Commons :—The township of Barnsley contains 2,010 acres of coal bed, Barughs 5,080 acres, Dodworth, 6,219 acres, Silkston, 4,040 acres. The quantity of coal in the Silkston main alone is thirty.seven millions three hundred and fourteen thou sand tons, and the quantity likely to be raised from the entire dis trict through which the railway will pass, is not less than seventy eight millions of tons. Pits may be sunk close by the railway, and will require only an engine to lift the coals perpendicularly, and pour them into the trucks. In addition to this, an opportunity will be afforded of turning to better account a bed of ironstone underlying a space of 5,080 acres. The construction of this railway would so cheapen the transit of coal to York, Hull, and all intermediate towns to the north and east, and westward to Glossop, Ashton, Manchester, Stock port, and other towns in Cheshire, that the owners of this valu able mineral would be able successfully to compete with those of Durham and Lancashire. The inexhaustible mineral traffic which will thus be developed —the means which this railway will afford of improved transit be. tween Leeds and Sheffield, so long a desideratum t• the inhabitants of these, the two largest towns in Yorkshire—the opening of direct railway communication with Barnsley, from which that important manufacturing town has hitherto been excluded—lts con nexion with the line projected to Harrogate, whither so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of advantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders; while the extraordinary increase of travelling which every ad ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which every new railway brings to the district through which it passes, adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro babla that the advantages which will actually be realised by this project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro. moters.

This important line of ra ilway was san ct i oned by the Canadian .Legislature, in the last Session. The line of the Great Western Railway of Canada, as authorised by the Act, is 245 miles in length, commencing near Fort Erie, opposite to the town of Buffalo, and terminating at Windsor, on the Detroit river, opposite t• the town of Detroit. Its whole course lies within the British territory; and it traverses the most gthe Niagara, L on d on, Gore, fertile and populous portion of the provin ce of Upper Canada, passing through the town of Ham ilton, at the h ead of the navgiga at i o,rdan rapidly dfti other e , bake knec dis t ricts, aasi Ontario,ag containing population.n te rse numerous towns and vill ages, w i t h a c The importance of such a line for national purposes, and for the interests of Canada, is so obvious as to have ensured the favour and support of the Government; while at the same time, it forms a direct trunk line for the traffic of the principal towns and districts of Upper Canada with one another, and with the seat of Government ; and for the stream of passhenogweervsera,nud eamigration which flow from this country by way of the St. L awrence to the upper province. commer cialT artery heen f o r pt enterprise, the lo c al consistsfeature al an d of provincialint h et its uniting undertaking,parpof Upper C anada with this character o f a main that of a completing link in the great system of thorough commu nication between the North Western States of America and the upper Valley of the Mississippi on the one hand, and the cities of New York and Boston, and the Sea Board of the Atlantic, on the other. A reference to the map will show that the town of Buffalo, which is the eastern terminus of the Great Western Railway of Canada, is the focus of the various communications by which the traffic of the interior is conveyed to the Atlantic, among which may be mentioned the Erie Canal, the New York and Erie Rail. road, 460 miles in length from New York to Buffalo, the Boston and Buffalo Railroad, 560 miles in length, and various other lines of railroad which radiate from Buffalo in different directions through the States of Now England and New York. The western terminus, Detroit, ls, in like manner, the focus of the extensive railway and canal communication of the North Western States, including Michigan, Illinois, I n di ana, and the upper part of Ohio, of which a large portion are already completed, and in ,successful operation. The Slate of Michigan, for instance, although the latest settled and least populous of those States, has already upwards of 700 miles of railway completed or in progress; among which is a main trunk line of 200 miles in length, in direct continuation of the Great Western Railway of Canada, from Detroit to St. Joseph, on the Michigan Lake, of which 110 miles are now open, and upon which a dividend of 7 per cent. was paid last year. The stream of traffic between Detroit and Buffalo Is now carried on entirely by the circuitous and dangerous navigation of Lake Erie, which is closed during half the year. Its importance may be judged of from the fact, that upwards of 60 large steamers, averaging 450 tons burden, and 160 horse power each, are employed cn Lake Erie, in addition to 300 sailing vessels of the united tonnage of 00,000 tons; and it appeared from an official return, that the number of passengers entering and leaving Buffalo, during the summer season, averaged 1,000 daily, and that upwards of 100,000 passengers were carried by the steamers upon the Lake during five months. The passage between Detroit and Buffalo, by first-class steamers, occupies, under the most favourable circumstances, about thirty six hours, and the navigation is suspended during half the year; while, during the remainder, it is liable to frequent interruptions from the storms to which Lake Erie is peculiarly subject; while, by the railway, the journey will be performed at all seasons in twelve or fourteen hours. There can be no reasonable doubt, therefore, that the railway will at once absorb the greater portion of the traffic, and will be. come, in connexion with the systems of railway communication at either extremity, the high road for the traffic of the Western States with the Atlantic. No competing line can be made to divert this traffic, as the Great Western Railway of Canada affords the most direct route between Buffalo and Detroit ; and any other line, to connect these points, would bare to wind round the south shore of Lake Erie, increasing the distance by at least 125 miles. The importance of these considerations will be abundantly mani. fest from the simple fact, that the population of the provinces of the United States, for whose traffic the Great Western Railway of Canada will furnish the principal outlet, exceeds 2,500,000, and has increased at the following extraordinary rate, viz. !Population in 1810. 1 Population in 1840. Michigan Indiana 24,250 683,314 Illinois Ohio 230,760 1,500,000 And the increase both here and in Upper Canada is now going on at at undiminished rate. Without dwelling upon the prospects of eventual traffic which must result f rom t h e rap i d progression of population, an d t h e d e. inviting with a v i ew to peculiarly v c e a l n o a p d m a e , n a t n o d f w t ei r , es r o e t n i r d c e e r s t o h f e the p res e N n o t rt u h nd A e r m t a e k ri in ca g n so S tat es and to state, with regard to the present and existing permanent investment, it may be sufficient traffic 1. That the Michigan Railway, which is a continuation of the line of th e G reat Western Railway of Canada into a more remote and less populou s district, although only partially opened, pays a dividend of seven per cent., and the other railways open in this State, pay dividends of from six to ten per cent. 2. That the lines of railway in New York and New England, which complete the communication between Buffalo and the Atlantic, although competing with the Erie Canal and with one another for the traffic which will be concentrated on the Great Western Railway of Canada, pay dividends of from seven to ten per cent. 3. That the existing passenger traffic between Buffalo and De. troit, supposing two-thirds of it only to be carried by the railway, The line is of a peculiarly easy character, traversing for the greater pact of its distance a level plateau, and involving no kaary enginee•ing works. The land will be obtained at an inconsiderable cost, and the whole preliminary .mpenses which have been In curred in obtaining the Act, &c., do not exceed 1,000/. As a proof of the cheap manner in which railways may be con structed in America, it may be instanced that the Michigan Railway, which, as already mentioned, forms a continuation of the Great Western of Canada, has been actually constructed at a cost, including station and working stock, of 2,6001. per mile; and the various railways centering at Buffalo have been similarly com pleted, at a cost averaging from 3,00E1/. to 4,0001. per mile. There is no doubt that the Great Western Railway of Canada traversing an easier country, and with better access to materials, might be constructed at as low a cost as any of these railways, but it has been thought prudent to frame the estimate with a view to a more solid and enduring work, resembling more nearly in character the railways of this country; and the amount of capital has been fixed accordingly upon a revised estimate considerably higher than the average cost of railways in the United States. There is no difficulty in letting the works to respectable con tractors in Canada, and as the excution will be forthwith com menced, and the works are of such an easy character, it is con fidently expected that the whole line will be opened in the coarse of the year 1848. The concession under the Company's Act is of the most favour able description, being unlimited in respect of tolls and charges, and also of duration, subject to a right to the Government to pur. case the railway after 40 years, upon payment of a sum equivalent to 20 per cent. upon the capital, provided the railway shall upon the average of the preceding 40 years have paid a dividend of not less than 121 per cent. The Company being incorporated by Act of the Legislative, tha liability of shareholders is limited to the amount of their shares in the same manner as in an established English Railway Company, and will cease upon the shares being transferred. The capital is already subscribed, and a deposit of 15 per cent. paid upon it; and arrangements will be made forthwith, by which the holders of scrip certificates of shares may be registered as share holders of the Company upon signing the necessary deeds. Further calls of not more than 5 per cent. each will be made at intervals of not less than two months, and with not less than ene month's notice ; and the premium, or rate of exchange to be obtained on bills or other remittances for transmitting the funds to Canada, will be accounted for to the shareholders. Provision will be made for ensuring an efficient control over the expenditure and general management of the concern to the cor responding Committee in England, and periodical meetings of the English shareholders will be held in England. A copy of the Act of Incorporation of the Company may be seen at the offices of Messrs Bircham and Dalrymple, Belford-row, London.

The object of this line is to form the nearest possible route from Hull to Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, and other places, in connexion with the Midland Railway and its Extensions. The line is intended to commence at a junction with the Hull and Selby Railway at or near Gilberdyke, and from thence con. tinue in a direct line through or near Linton, Bellasize, Laxton, Skelton, Goole, Thorne, Fishlake, Bramwith, Hatfield, Armthorp, Doncaster, Sprotboro', (and its extensive Limestone Fields) Co. nisbro', Hooton, Rotherham, and to join the Midland Railway at Masbro'. The following are some of the advantages this line possesses:— It will, by a junction with the proposed Manchester, Huddersfield, and Great Grimsby Railway, at Doncaster, effect a saving between Hull and Manchester, and between Hull and Liverpool, of about forty miles, over any existing route. It will form a junction upon a level with the proposed London and York at Doncaster, and thus open the shortest route from the termini of these projected lines to London and Edinburgh, and also the most direct route to Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, and Birmingham. It will form a direct route from Hull to Sheffield through Goole, Thorne,-ane--Dipieaster. It will form a direct line from Hull to Barnsley; and the inex haustible coal-fields of Silkstone, Worsbro' Cawthorne, Bretton, Billingley, Barugh, and also to the limestone fields in the neigh bourhood of Doncaster, which will be of great benefit to the agri cultural districts of Lincolnshire and the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire, It will, by the saving of distance and of stoppage, accelerate the mails between Hull and Sheffield, and Hull and Manchester, at lead two hours. The whole of the country has been carefully surveyed, and the report of the engineer is exceedingly satisfactory. No engineering difficulties exist, nor will any ornamental sr re sidential property be interfered with, and the line is comparatively a straight one. The cost of construction is •ery much below the average, owing to its being a surface line nearly the whole distance, and the im mense traffic that will pass over it must render it highly remune rative to the shareholders. An influential provisional committee is now forming, and the names of the gentlemen comprising it will be shortly announced. In the meantime, further information may be obtained from the solicitors ; and application for shares, in the form given below, ac companied with satisfactory references, may also be addressed to the solicitors, the Secretary, or the following brokers :—Hull—Messrs.

D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY, Combining the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. Capital 200,0001., in 10,00 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 2/. 10s. per Share. (Provisionally Registered.) This line will commence at the station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu facturing towns and places, viz., Great Bridge, Swan Village, Old • bury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smethwick, and In its course it win afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and mining population of upwaras of a quarter of a million. The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the above indication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly sa tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic both in goods and in passengers. It Is almost unnecessary to speak further of so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for such a district. The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta blished long before, were It not for one very obvious and very poten tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Stalfordshirt Junction; besides, it will afford to the populous districts c;.roulat Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and l i teral cent petition in passenger conveyance and In the transit of their industrial products to their principal market. The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats continually travelling between the termini, afford the strongest as surance of the prospect of a lar_ e passenger traffic: while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and m inutacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch tor that In goods ; and the whole leaves no doubt bot that the fittanCial returns of such an un dertaking must yield au ample relltinteration for the capital ex pended, 7-- - ARTSI an eDoitleering point of view, it b as b een ascertained, by careful ;S, that the line is higllly favourable, and presents not the posed to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the City-road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office. The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will be effected between all existing and projected railways north of the Thames, combined with the, advantage of a general City terminus, is too obvious to require comment. By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought Into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense, and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission of the mails to most parts of the kingdom. The line will commence at the Great Western Railway ter minu3, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter secting the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town, the proposed London and York and Direct Manehester near Pen tonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwall Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts of Pad. dington, Camden-town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland, arid Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime house, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf frontage of 170 feet. The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at , the City.road, Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be eqt;ally available as tit present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now existing on the canal. Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn pAratively moderate expense. The object of the Company will be to secure the best accommo dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and all future companies who may avail themselves of this line. The property of the present railway companies will be materially im proved, and a great national work effected in a manner and at a cost which c,uld be accomplished by no other means than by the conversion of the Regent's Canal. There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased, and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may be cenfldesstly expected within twelve months after the sanction of the Legislature has been obtained. Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company, Gresham-rooms, Basinghall•street. Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking are requested to state the fact in their application. To the Provisional Committee of the Regent's Canal Railway I request you will allot to me Shares of 201. each in the capital of the above-named Railway, and I agree to accept the same, or any less number, to pay the deposit of 21. 2s. per Share, and to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agree ment when required. 11 1 HE GREAT MANCHESTER, RUGBY, and SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY, with a DIREK.7 LINE from DERBY to RUGBY.
