Shrewsbury —W. Cooper, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has eansed its adoption as the point where the broad gouge trunk lines of the west are to have a eommon terinirMe. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer dont:Anil. This undertakillff will com plete a series of great avemtes of iron -road, wh ose ramification front Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at newdley. This district is one Of the chief seats of our carpet manu facture*, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards ef 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying en active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufacture@ and iron works, that gives employment to a population of about M 00& Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem, enters Whitehurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, fbrming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchureh, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable ern ,unt of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry In which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost or construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent popaiation, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project eonstitates a lengthened link in' the Clain that wilt co:inect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—lts southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line:— by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded we...A lward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and -Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lyn's, Lincoln, ant Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are In every in stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line if com munication is acknowledged by the Interests seated en Its proposed 'nurse.

Poole At Tiverton • At Truro At Penzance • • • At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct eommunicatibn -between London and the Land's End. .In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it. position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less - natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased. • The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. • The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by !ray of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set 'on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. - The object of this prospectus is to show thatno i ry in regard other line the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station et the empire." as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's En Tits present project is distinguished by this—that It is direct. It d . is The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so tar as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Itedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), ' Glastonbury to. Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing or projected railways between these points, and without atunnal. From Taunton the Btistel and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry thia line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzanoe, being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole distance from London to Falmouth, a sav i ng of about ninety miles. With respect to the traffic between Lond on and Tiverton, it is needless to say more than that there is alr ea d y thorough traffic sufli dent to justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern ; that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 33 thut it will troves's rict and poptilbus sericiatinz THE UN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, SIIPTEM'BER 10, 1845. and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now in course of construction as from others pro- jected with every chance of success, As to the traffic on the lower portion Of the line, it is evident that ( Vibe vest :fittinbffi' of Merchant .ve§tiela eontinttally detaint& id th 6, Mine! bY:adVerse *hide, would ii*Ct An iilliiikAe raring bbtli in insurance and Vine', bYffileilirgii;st then' eiirgo*s at Filitioniti; and it once trAnsfilittini iiiiiii to their destination by mean. of this raiiiiity; And th'eF. - titoll—without speculating on the extent to,wilich the portly bn either We of the great promontoriX the lAnd'il knit tray, bY means of this railroad, attract the ctiMineiCe reipectiiely of Bristol and Southamptqn3 to tiiiii Ckient the iaexhauStible mineral, wealth of Corialviiih Ind the unrivalled agricUlkural reaeurees of ne'lrottiihire 1110 lit further developed, or the 4gthiil clittlitte of rinaance and Mount'. the MOntpelliet of EtiglandV' Atifiel a larger propor tion of winter I:lilt:64—h it iibiious that this line will command a traffic both in grade and passengers, from its western terminus, the lint' ilill of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the Map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Lend's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So meeittahlre, Dorsetshlre, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of tailroad accommodation. Rotherham, Sept. 13, 1845. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; it :may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Mir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Co . mmittee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line; Which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, It was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth Was last Session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It Is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors arg justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdont. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at our pounds per centum per annum cri the deposits, sad preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Gran. Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from. thence by Eccleshall, Offley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Bewley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Bushbury and Eaton-under-Ilayvrood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where It will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district; and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, 'where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-Held, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llaniclloes, the price per ton will he reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion t o . . . _ the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will hare its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction , with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Tork and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a Junction line alone (connecting as it will inch important rail ways), a large Passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient load traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, aad will be constructed at much less than the average cost. _ _ Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the raeasurs. The liability of the Shareholders wli: be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent per annul* ou the amount of the deposit, and upon the farther calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be nude until the Act • Parliament shall have been obtained.

The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening the entire of the Leicestershire coal-deld to the comities south-east K Leicester. The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are sorer advanced, to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the undertaking. The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham. The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of Informing the Shareholders that this undertaking cannot fall to prove a profitable investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent Valley for the transit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotlaid, Ire land,•and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated. From the extent of population accommodated by this railway —from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important, established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advert tegeous to the public.

This CoMpany has been formed for the purpose of constructing a railway from London to Maidstone, and from thence to Ashford, joining there the South-Eastern Railway to Folkestone, Dover, and Canterbury, and a branch railway from Ightham, near -tevenoaks, to Tunbridge. The main line is intended to commence by a junction with the London and Croydon Railway, near New Cross, passing through Lewisham to Bromley, from thence through Otford, near Sevenoaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, East Mallin7, arid Ditton, to the town of Maidstone; having a principal station there near Week-street, in front of the Sessions-house and county gaol, from thence passing through Ilollingbourne, Ilarkietsham, Lenham, and Charng, to Ashford. . The line• to Tunbridge will branch from Ightham, awl take the course of the valley by West Peckham and Hadlow to Tunbridge, communicating with the South-Eastern Railway from Tunbridge to Tunbridge Wells. The whole length of the lines to be constructed will be sixty-four miles. The country has been carefully surveyed, and, with the exception of a tunnel through the Chalk-hill, near Otford, the works are not of an expensive character, and the lines are frwe from curves or gra dients of an objectionable nature. The line will be laid down so as to be adapted to the locomotive or atmospheric principle, which ever mode of propulsion it may ulti mately be found most advisable to adopt. By reference to the map of Kent it will be perceived that the lines of the proposed railway are those indicated by the natural features of the country ; that such railways are calculated to effect in the most advantageous manner the great objects of direct " through" communication between London and:Folkestone and Dover, and be tween London and Tunbridge and Tunbridge Wells, taking the nearest pr cticable line to Bromley, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Lenham, and F Ashford, and by a comparatively trifling expense in forming a short I branch from Westwell, to join the present railway from Ashford to • Canterbury, .at Wye, placing the city of Canterbury, and the whole of the district communicating with that city, within a few miles In distance and a few minutes in time as near to London as could be effected by the outlay of a vast sum in the construction of a separate railway to Canterbury, affording also the means of railway commu nication between Canterbury and Maidstone (the county towns of East and West Kent), and the other principal towns, and generally throughout the county. In further explanation of the merits of the proposed lines, it m.iy be noticed that Maidstone, the county town of Kent, is situate in the centre of the county, on the river Medway, contains the county gaol, courts of justice, cavalry depot, and various other public este blishments ; that the assizes and sessions are held at Maidstone, and that the county business generally is there conducted ; that by means of the central situation of Maidstone, and the advantages of the navi gation of the river, a very large wholesale business is carried on there ; .that the town and immediate vicinity contain numerous and extensive paper manufactories, mills, breweries, iron founderies, and other works, and that the district surrounding Maidstone comprises the most extensive hop and fruit plantations in Kent. The necessity for the construction of new lines of railway for the purpose of reducing the distance between London and Folkestone ' and Dover, and between London and Maidstone, has been fully admitted ; and the want of railway communication between Bromley, Sevenoaks, Wrotham, and other principal places in the centre of the county, not only with London, but with the city of Canterbury and Maidstone, has been of serious injury to a very large portion of the county. And it has been thought most advisable for the interests of the county and the public, that a: measure of such local as as well.as general importance should be undertaken by a Company formed for the express purpose of carrying out the project ; uninflu enced by any conflicting interests, and connected with, and as far as practicable identified with, the county. It has also been considered advisable that this measure should be supported entirely upon its own merits, without attempting to engross the traffic of the northern side of the county, or to oppose the construction of any railways which that portion of the county may consider necessary for their accom modation. Under this impression, several gentlemen, resident in and near Maidstone, have, with the general sanction and support of the landed pro:aletora interested in the measure, and of the inhabitants of Maidstone united with an infl ue ntial body of capitalists in th e formation of this Company, with the full intention of carrying out the project as a measure for the benefit of the county and the public, feeling confident that the 'very great traffic which this railway mu s t necessarily command will enable the proprietors' to provide every accommodation the public can require at a very moderate charge, and will also afford a very liberal remuneration fur the amount of capital to be invested in the undertaking. The Provisional Committee have no reason to anticipate any effec tual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial, and so generally and powerfully supported by those best qualified to form as opinion of its merits, and most interested in carrying it into effect. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4 per cent. per anuum on the deposit, as well as upon all future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription.

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceed thence in an easterly di rection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Staffordshile to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton, Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the point where that railway forms ajunction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west. This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re ilEtlred In the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the 'heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the German Ocean on the east with those. of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agrtcultural districts of the eastern midland, and western counties, and accommodating the tin portant manutacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, and Shreivsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingliam,"Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior, to that of any line in the district. The length - of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con struction. The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must he paid upon the allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription; and. the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the lino. The subscribene agreement and the Parliamentary contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 (lays' notice will be given ; and the deposits pahl by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited. Applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors. JTAMAICA, SOUTHERN, EASTERN. AND NORTHERN RAILWAY, FROM KINGSTON TO MON TEGO BAY. Office, No. 43, Moorgate-street.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islau 1 of Jamaica. The average, passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England FS such, that independently of the saving of time, tido railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much lass expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excelent harbour of King ston, instead of being.confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town nailway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Butf Bay, :motto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will he formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the island. • Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tatn.% which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c.; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, and cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material• necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists ior the benefit of the Shareholders Grille various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti ' mate can scarcely be given—it will be safilcient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company', will - enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest uuon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line. Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 43, 3foorgate-street ; to Messrs.

The Company, in addition to all the usual branches of Assurance Companies, offers to the public a new system of loans more beneficial to the borrower, and yielding a better return to the Shareholder than any system ut present in use. 'hits, any person effecting an assurance with this Company, can borrow the full amount of the sum secured by his policy, upon giving collateral security for the payment of an increased rate of premium, fixed by the tables of the Company, according to the age of the per son t,rrowing, and the amount borrowed, and interest on the loan, for a limited number of years only, which will in effect repay the money borrowed, and maintain a policy on the life of the borrower, and he will not, as in ordinary cases, be liable to be called upon to repay, in one sum, and by a given day, the principal money lent. A reference to the prospectuses of the Company (which have been already advt-rtised at length in the papers), and which contain speci mens of the tables, will show the mode by which the Company effects this object.

" The Master Passion," by the author of " High ways and Byways," is a tale of the most absorbing interest, founded on the terrible influence which the passion of jealousy exercises over the mind, and is certainly not excelled by any of those admirable sketches in " Highways and Byways" which gave Mr. Grattan's name a European reputation. The characters in " The Master Passion" are drawn with the moat vivid and startling effect; so true to life, indeed, are they, that we can hardly persuade ourselves, notwithstanding the wildness and extraordinary incidents of the story, that we are perusing a mere work of the imagination. HERNE BAY.—AcciDENTs.—A correspondent calls our attention to the misconstruction and imperfect state of the pier at Herne Bay, and informs us of two accidents which have occurred upon it during the past week. It seems that the beams or planks of which the flooring is made are fast rotting, and what is worse, have been, from the first, too far apart, so that a walking-stick, or even a foot, is very likely to catch, and throw a person down. One of the cases last week was that of a gentleman, whose cane caught between the beams rather stiffly. The resistance threw him off his balance, and broke his leg at the ankle joint. The second case was that of equal severity, and more to be regretted, as a young lady was the unfortunate victim. Being late, she was walking at a quick rate to meet the boat which arrives on littunlay, when her toe caught in sue of the fissures of the planks ; she was thrown forcibly on the pier, and her left knee striking a sharp projecting beam, the knee-cap was broken, and herself otherwise severely stunned and bruised. The pier at Herne Bay, in its present state, is a dan gerous promenade. The company are, we believe, rich enough, and in all conscience, their dues are high enough; their pier should, therefore, either be repaired or rendered safe, or themselves in dieted.—Kentish Observer. • SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.—During Saturday and yes terday the following serious accidents occurred, some of which are expected to terminate fatally. The first case was that of Joseph Carter, aged forty years, a gardener in the service of a gentleman at Greenwich, who, it appears, proceeded on Saturday morning to assist in gathering some pears from a very high tree. ile ascended a lad , der, and, when near the top, ho overbalanced himself, and fell with great violence to the ground. He was lifted up and carried to the shop of a surgeon at Greenwich, where it was found that he had fractured both his arms, and sustained serious injuries to his face and other parts of his person. The wounds were dressed, and after a short time he was placed in a carriage, and conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he now lies in a very deplorable condition. The second case was that of an elderly Irishwoman, named Margaret Walsh, residing in Glasshouse-yard, Mint-street, Southwark. It seems that on Sunday morning, between one and two o'clock, a quarrel ensued between several Irishmen about Ireland, when she interfered, and in the scuffle she received a severe blow with a bludgeon, which felled her to the ground. She was picked up in sensible, and bleeding from a large wound on the head. The police CMG up, and removed her to the accident ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, where the was placed under the care of the house surgeon, and is now going on favourably. The third case oc curred to James Phillimore, a carman, in the service of Mr. White head, of Winchester-street, Bermondsey. He was in the stable cleaning the harness, when the horse, a viciousanimal, kicked out at him and knocked him down, causing fracture of several ribs, and serious injuries externally, whereby his life is considered in danger. He was taken to Guy's Hospital in a cab, where he was promptly attended to by the surgeon in attendance. On Saturday night an accident of a shocking nature occurred to a lad named John Tomlin sen, aged ten years, whose parents reside at No. '2, Kennington street, Walworth. He was amusing himself by making fireworks, and whilst mixing up a quantity of the combustible materials in a Innen mort ir, the whole exploded in his face, burning and disfiguring him in a dreadful manner. He was removed in a shocking state of suffering to the hospital, where very faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. DISCOVERY OF A MONASTIC WELL, AND MlRA cuLors DlCAPE.—Saturday afternoon as the groom of Mr. Bates, pianoforte manufacturer, Ludgate-hill, was leading ono of his mas ter's horses by a halter from the stable at the bottom of Dorset street, Salisbury-square, the foot-pavement over which the horse was walking suddenly fell in, followed by the head, shoulders, and body of the animal, to the infinite horror of the stableman, who narrowly escaped being drawn into the aperture also. Police-sergeant Arnold, No. 204, assisted by some of his men and others, with considerable difficulty, at length succeeded with ropes in rescuing the poor horse, whose bulk alone prevented him from sinking any further. On examining the apperture, which thus so suddenly presented itself, it was ascertained that it was the mouth of an old well, full of water, which had been arched over, but that the well had mouldered away from extreme age, and at length fell in as above described. The well, which is between f rty ani fifty feet in depth, doubtlessly be longed to the priory of White Friars, which some centuries ago stood upon the site of this locality. FATAL ACCIDENT.—In the hurdle-race which took place lately at Autun, the horse rode by M. Bluram failed in his leap, and hung upon the rope ; at this time the Marquis de Mac Mahon came up, and his horse, being hampered by the feet of the other, fell upon his rider and crushed him to death. Thus within a few days Autun lost two of its principal inhabitants by nearly similar accidents—viz., M. Schneider, one of its greatest manufacturers, and the Marquis de Mac Mahon, one of its largest landowners. The Marquis's family came originally from Scotland with the Stuarts.—Galiparif. are ba l j ar e ! trai ned in h i et ] it a light Di " e United 's 04 wwithout 111 111e r i ean Itatio ns 14 110 of Ilene w whit fa, authority in tettito r • Paved ea thev roa , 70:reas' b wet e trit thj„ i ,," of th f will a , o les, Paper, f: s p e c te it tt itli ' 3 nl 411 ; 11 : r( W to /non s c /non o ur c stratea u ! z agazi, e, intitttlated /nP] of•afall (4. bo ote e °4 lltry n ave but a b i mot; be en r„ Gov ertu , arl .nntou 4144 rial ents tbeland, th e 44 Margin 1114 1 cid , I°l.o l the 4;, ) „' Paaein, And war of been el l° l lso aatandoni., °the r grail bur t° 9r cre e Rol& : Ina ratlw a ace at Vl:ilea, .se a a r ent h are th e alpo' l e " dro l l the 13 b the order to ank Nehi ch Avaue f Le Rod 10 4 1 t t he (lift' (1. n „ bLi ouni W hat hat.
