This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man chester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or Lear the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Mifflin], in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It. will also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties, Staffordshire lotteries, She ffi eld, and Hull; and, in addition to the carriage of heavy go ods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. A branch will be made ftom New port to the important town of Wellington. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines between the same termini. It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel ling will be required. Application is intended to be made, in the ensuing session of Par liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has been made) from Southampton to Kidderminster, and by which a ready communication will be afforded to the most southern ports of England. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line. prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, can be had from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices of the Company, 3, Abehurch-lane, London; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also from the following Brokers, viz. :—Messrs.

(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 mauufactur lug towns and places, viz.; Great Bridge, Swan Village, Oldbury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smethwick, and in its course it will afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and mining popu lation of upwards of a quarter of a million. The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the above in dication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly satisfy 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 po tential 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 rail way ; 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 Staffordshire Junction ; besides It will afford to the populous districts around Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and liberal com petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their indus trial 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 large passenger traffic ; while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and manufacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch for that in goods; and the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an undertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex• peuded. In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained by careful surveys that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the slightest difficulty, so that altogether there is probably no line of railway now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest interest in the proposed line; and indeed it is mainly owing to urgent local suggestions, that the projected railway has been under taken. Ne further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act shall be obtained ; and power will be applied for in such Act to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. An influential Provisional Committee will be published in a few days. Applications for shares will be received until the 14th inst., and may be addressed to Mr. F. T. ELGIE, Solicitor, Worcester, or Joint Mr. JOHN BOLTON, Solicitor, Dudley j Solicitors. Oct. 7, 1845. SHREWSBURY AND TRENT VALLEY UNION RAILWAY.

This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its lin portance cannot be questioned, traversing, as it w ill , a loCality totally excluded from the benefit of railway communication, thom . li. It may be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten mules, amid a densely-popubited neighbourhood, the property around which is open , flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a line of railway. In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing the time requisite for the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot, Ascot, Sunning-hill, and Egliam, all abounding with e l egan t villas and a wealthy population, an easy access to Lo n d on , an d f or m the main trunk for a direct communication to Exeter, Falmouth, and the whole of the south-west of England. It will also afford a facility to reach Hungerford-bridge on the south side of the River by the Richmond Railway, Isy means of a branch from Hounslow to Rich mond. The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are made, the deposits have been duly paid, and the parliamentary con tract is signed and completed. By order, Office, 30, Regent•street.

Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. HARWICH DOCKS, AND BIRMINGHAM AND CENTRAL ENGLAND RAILWAY.—Among the many projects competing for public favour and support, this great project appears to have a claim to our particular notice. It has for its o bject to connect the port of Harwich, by the shortest and most direct routes, with all parts of England, which on reference to the map, it will be seen, itcompletely accomplishes. By its con nexion with the Eastern Counties' Railway, the shortest route to London is afforded ;—by its junction with the London and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, the most direct ac cess to all the manufacturing districts of taffordshire is opened up; by its connexion at that point with the North ampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham line, the most direct communication with the port of Bristol and West of England; and by the South Midland and Midland Counties Railways, direct communication is opened up between the port of Harwich and all the northern and manufacturing towns of England. The port of Harwich, it is, perhaps, not generally known, has, since the termination of the war, been altogether neglected, and its beautiful and capacious harbour, described by the Government Commissioners as " the finest and only sate harbour on the east coast of England, and, as a packet station for all North ern and Central Europe, its preservation of national import-' ance," allowed to fall into decay—a liberal Parliamentary grant had been made for its improvement and preservation, and the above Company had been formed to carry out more extensively the objects of Government by .the construction of docks, so as to adapt the port of Harwich for the great commercial and passenger traffic which, on the completion of the railway, must inevitably flow thither. Harwich is destined to become the grand outlet to all p a rts of Northern and Central Europe ; and, from the circum stance of its being the shortest and most direct route from England, by way of Antwerp and Ostend (by means of existing foreign railways) to Trieste, it is evident also that Harwich must also sooner or later become the most direct route for all our communications with Greece, Egypt, and India (overland), this route being, as a glance at th e map will show, by far shorter and more direct than the pe e _ sent overland route to India by way of Paris and Marseilles. We are glad, therefore, that Harwich is destined t o see brighter days, :-.nd that this hitherto neglected and decayed port is likely, from a fortunate combination f circumstances, to become one of great national and commercial importance; and looking at the names of the parties connected with this great undertaking—to the identification of the work with the objects and intentions - of the Government, and the favour able light in which it is viewed b y the all- p owerf ul London and Birmingham Railway, we cannot estimate too highly the success of the project , w hether we look u p o n it a, an important national work, or as an excellent commercial speculation. For these reasons, therefore, we consider the project deserving of every support, both in and out of Par liament, and we have no doubt it will obtain it, because it deserves it.—lron Times. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGEN CE.—OXFORD, O CTOBER 7.—Although no public announcement has been given of the election of Vice-Chancellor, we have it from good au "thority that a convocation will be holden for that purpose to-morrow, at twelve o'clock, when letters of nomination from the Chancellor will be read by the senior proctor, and is if the same are not submitted in the usual man ner for the approbation of the house, a scruy, it extin Peca'd; will be demanded.

THE NAVY.—THE ItETlnElgFsr•—ft has B OW be come a matter of absolute certainty, that long before the latest time t i the Ist of December) for app:icutions to be re ceived by the Admiralty from those Captains who may be desirous of accepting the retiremen t, their Lord ships will have the names of more than the full num ber (300 ) , to whom it is proposed to grant a retiring allowance of ss. per day, in ad dition to their present scale of balf-pay. The number of applicants already amount to 260, of which, we believe, 45 are captains of the first hundred on the list, on the half-pay of 14s. 6d. per diem ; 85 are ca ptains of the next 150 on t he list, on the half-pay of 12s. dd- Per diem and 130 are on the half-pay of 10s. fid. per diem.

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, but was instantly put out, without the least damage being done to the vessel, or to anything on , board.

HERNE BAY, CANTERBURY, AND FAVERSHAM ATMOSPHERIC, Yesterday a meeting was held at the Pier Hotel, Heine Bay, which was attended by the Commissioners, and many of the principal landed and house pmprietors in the town and its vicinity, for the purpose of considering the propriety of supporting this project. Dr. Stokes, the Chairman of the Commissioners, presided on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it was mani fest that a railway communication to that healthful spot must be calculated to render au infinite benefit not merely to the town itself, but to every one connected with it. The plan, as proposed upon palter, appeared to him to carry out all that could be desired. For whilst it offered the facility of a rapid, communication from and to the metropolis at a very trifling cost, so it would crate a medium of transit to Can terbury, Dover, and the Continent.—(Hear, hear.) He was satisfied there could be no oppr sit:on tittered to the project by the cwners of property in Herne Bay or by its inlmbitatds, because, as he had stated, the greatest advantage s in every point of view must result to 'Herne Bay. Mr. WiLsox, the Secretary t! e Comr any, :aid it was proposed to run a line from lierne 1!:..y to ',lntl - burr, Whit stable, and Faversham, at 'trine!' point it 1:01ild form Lt junc tion, or connecting as it were, with case of the inat.y lines which were projected to that commanieati,,n h edon— (Hair, ee.

A discussion then ensued, in the course of which it was several times stated that the project would meet with every support flout the parties living in and connected with Herne Bay. ANDOVER CANAL AM) MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. AIfI3OVER.—A meeting cf the Directo:s 4f the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company, and a Committee of the shareholders of the Andover Canal, took place at the office of the Railway Company on Thursday, when the Com pany agreed to purchase the canal from Redbridge to An dover at the sum of 30,000/., of w hich 10,000!., part thereof, is to be paid as a deposit to the Canal Company in January next. This arrangement, if carried into ether, will be of ad vantage to the shareholders of the canal, as hitherto the original shares have been considered rf little value, but for which they will then realise neatly 40/. It will also increase the value of the railway shares. DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER. A meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith was held ast evening at the Albion Hall. There were present as a deputation from the Directors, Sir Henry Pyin, Mr. Healy, Dr. Costelloe, with Messrs. Columbine and '4raan, solicitors, and Mr. Gomm, one of the assistant engineers. Mr. HEALY took the chair, and explained in an able ad dress, which want of space compels us reluctantly to oniit, the merits and advantages of the line. Mr. COLUMBINE followed, and the other gentlemen of the deputation, whose statements appeared to give satisfaction. The delegates of the Luxembourg Railway Companies have been to Luxembourg, in order to open negotiations with the Grand Ducal Government to obtain the concession of a council, which should traverse the territory of Luxem bourg, and then he continued to Treves. The Courier of the Grand Duchy says. that these negotiations have failed, and that the delegates of the Company have left Luxembourg without having concluded anything with the council of the Government. RAILWAYS VERSUS COACHES.—The advantages of railways over the old system of travelling are daily becoming more apparent. At first economy of tune was the great feature in the improvement, now economy of menu is as strikingly evident. The Brighton Railw y Company his again re duced its fares. The first class tare, 10s., is now less than the outside fare heretofore charged by the coaches, to say nothing of the shillings (or rather talf-crowns) and six• peaces charged by the coachmen and porteis. MADRID AND VALENCIA RA ILW .t V.— YeSterday, William Chadwick, Esq, the chairman, mid others, forming a deputa tion from this company, had an interview with his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador. at his residence in Cavendish square, in order to make arrangements for the payment of the caution-money required by the concession—amounting to 3,000,000 of reels, equal to 30,712/. 17s. 10d. sterling. The deputation was received with the greatest courtesy by his excellency, who expressed him,elf favourably of the engineering character of the country through which the line will pass. The secretary of the Legation, by the direction of his Excellency, afterwards accompanied Mr. Chadwick and P. 13. Volney, Esq., the concessionnaire, to the Bank of England, where the full amount was deposited in strict conformity with the conditions of the concession. BARQUE CHAAIPLA IN-MUTINY (From the St. John's Courier of September 13.) The following particulars ( f the inuth.ons conduct of twt, crews on board this vessel, have been famished us for publt cation:— " Barque Champlain, J. D. Penton, master, sailed from St. John's about the sth August last, for Dungarvon, and after being at sea three days, and the advance notes of the searne.l having been paid, the crew, nine in number, came aft and said they would do no more work until the ship's head was turned for St. John, on account cf her leaky state, she then making from one-and-a-Lalf to two inches ler hour. They remained below and hft the captain and mate in charge fur seven hours. The captain having no altenutive, bore lip and arrived at St. John on the 10th A ugust . O a arrival. warrants were procured, and the seamen were taken into custody, the ship surveyed, topsides caulked, pumps regularly sounded by the harbour- master and port. wardens, and a certificate given of the barque's complete sea-worthiness. The seamen were tried be fore Alderman Porter, on a charge of refusing to pro ceed e n the voyage. Tha trial resulted in an order from the Alderman for the seamen to return on board to their duty. They did return, in company 'a ith ethers from the shore., threatened the mate's life, and filially left the vessel. Another crew, ten in number, was shipped, on the 21st ; the vessel again sailed from Partridge Island, and u hen between Grelut Mahan and the Machias Seal Islands, on the 23d, at nine A. 31., the crew came aft, saying they w0. , k1 go no further in the ship, ordered the helm to be put up, which was prevented by Captain I'. remaining by the man at the wheel. The crew squared the main-yard, but the mate prevented them from squaring the other yards. Eight of the crew then went below, and the captain and mate having gone forward to brace the main-yard up, the man at the wheel then left, saying he should do like the rest. The cap tain, mate, and one man, who acted as cook and steward. were all that remained on deck to work the vessel. On Sunday morning, it was discovered that there was seven feet water in the hold, and after pumping for some time found the water to increase. The captain then went forwanl to the forecastle hatch to ask the seamen if they intended to let the ship sink, when he saw a small hatch oft, leading to the fore-peak, and one man handing to the carwater two augers. The crew told him that if the weather only cleared they should confine him, and themselves take the ship to St. John, but if it remained thick, and the ship water-logged, they should take the boats and give him, a prank. At thirty minutes after two, P.M., the weathet having cleared a little, a brig called the Noble, o f L u b ec, saw the barque's ensign union down, and came within hail, and agreed to send his second mate on board to pilot the barque into Machias, it being the safest and nearest port. The crew then agreed to pump the ship out if they got something to eat, having had nothing for thirty-two hours. During the night they did not gain much on the water, and the pilot missed some of the men from the pumps, and on going forwiml he heard a loud knocking and saw the hatch off the fore. peak, and one man came - up, and three came over the bows, who pretended that tiny had been smoking. They returned to the pumps, and the pilot communicated what he had seen and heard to the captain, who went over the bows in the morning, and then saw two plugs, perfect;c new, four feet under water, projecting six or seven ir.ebia outside the ship's sheathing. This circumstance w:,s made known to the mate and pilot, and they all resolved to say nothing about it at the time, lest the crew should refuse to work the ship while among the islands. A short time after wards, on looking over the bows it was found that one of the plugs had been cut off within an inch of the ship's side, and the lower one about two i nc h es. Th e water in the h o ld was now rapidly decreasing, and at three p.m., on Monday, the barque was brought to anchor in Machias port, and afterwards made but an inch and a half water in twenty-four hours—thus plainly proving that holes had been bored in the bows by the crew, and afterwards plugged. The authorities at Machias refused to take charge of the crew, but sent a guard on board the ship. The cap.. tain proceeded to Eastport to the British Consul, who in stantry accompanied him back, when the crew were then lodged in gaol, examined the next day, and, pronounced guilty of mutiny, r...v01t, and piracy. The ship's deck load was discharged ; she was then !anion a mud bank, the plugs driven in, and produced at Court by the surveyors, who found the ship perfectly sea-worthy, and the water that she had made proceeded from the auger boles. The crew are now in Machias gaol, under the care of the British Consul, and Nils be sent to England to be further dealt with accoreing to late Captain Penton arrived in this city on Sunday last for a new crow to take the ship to Dungareell. He expresses his un feigned acknowledgments to the authorities at Machias, the British Consul, and Messrs.

At first, economy of time was the great more feature in the improvement; now, economy of money is as strikingly evident.

Our - worthy townsmen, Dr. Brown, of the British Museum, and Dr. Owen, of the College of Surgeons, were amongst the most remarked notabilities. Excursions to Mount 'Vesuvius, the royal palace of Caseate will follow, as the King and the municipality of Naples have made great preparations to show off on that occasion.

He submitted that three, if not five gentle men, should be elected from each of the principal towns situated on the line, as the representatives in the managing Committee of the several towns in which they resided. The CHAIRMAN urged that if such a course were adopted, the number of the Committee would be unprecedented, and observed that the greater the number of Directors the less business would be done. - ;14 1810, 18 - 4s6p - 4 - 4 p! 55s p Sir JOHN KEY contended that there was no necessity for such an amendment as had been proposed by Mr. Green, for that the resolution itself comprehended all that was neces sary, inasmuch as it gave the Committee power to add to their number. A PROPRIETOR observed, that they had heard nothing about the progress of the survey of the line. Now it had been stated in the circular which called the meeting to gether, that a full repo r t f rom th e eng i neer an d surveyor would be submitted to the meeting, and he thought it was very essential that they should know how the work was pro gressing. The SOLICITOR to the Company said that the subject would have been brought before the meeting, but he had .been dis appointed in not having received the engineer's report, which he had fully expected that morning. lie had himself written to the chief engineer upon the subject a few days ago, and, in his reply, that gentleman stated that the survey was being carried on as expeditiously as possible, and there were no less than sixty surveyors employed on every mile, and the whole would without doubt be completed long before the time required. The various officers of the Company were then elected, and a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chair man, who in reply stated his fullest confidence in the merits of the line, which he had no doubt would become one of the most successful.

After some discussion, Mr. BACSTER proceeded to addreSs the meeting on behalf of the Boston, Stamford, and Binningham, which tie con tended by its junction with other lines would afford them all the communication which they desired with the Midland Counties, as well as the towns in the north of England. are---i.utistern (Amin.— 1 ali trie communicatlrn which they aesiied with the Midland ail )wed,.2l - ; Win & bnipi• ICES OF :S ENGLAND Oct. 6. 5% 1 5i1 158 — s9d 16% 5% 6 55% 20%' , Io6s ! 5 B — s 9d 8 - Is3d l 2 - 9 s p! 22% 7% I, - 3 PI 7859d1 I 14656,1' 5256 d! 1956d1 4 217 I 2( p! p, 3% 1 .
