Prim the off 00' • SUFFERERS BY THE LATE FIRES AT QUEEC. The Committee for the Relief of those who have suffered by the late calamitous Fires at QUEBW, have received an earnest applica tion from them for donations of OLD CLOTHING and COMMON 1181) DIN ( , such as lilaukets, Rugs, and Coarse Stuffs. for Straw Mattrass Covers. The rigour of a CANADIAN WINTER, now fast u PProaehing, renders it absolutely necessary that an effort to provide , t h, ege articles should be made, and the Committee fervently hope that Juts further appeal will not be urged in vain. PR E The Owners of the London Traders SAILING DURING THE SENT MONTH. have agreed to take such donations out to Quebec FREIGVT FREE, and the Committee have arranged that 'heS may be sent to Mr. Jenkins, at the premises lately used as the •s3liun for the Houseless Poor, No. 19, Upper Ogle-street, Upper larylebone-street ; to Messrs.

The necessity of a central terminus is daily becoming more urgent, which is evinced by the many schemes which have been brought before the public for that purpose since the prospectus of this Company was first published, but with the great accession of strength the Committee have now obtained by the valuable co operation of the several influential railway Directors above-men tioned, the Committee feel confident they need fear no opposition.

The difficulty in obtaining a good Central London terminus has hitherto been an insuperable obstacle to a railway communication between London and the populous and important localities which this line will serve. This obstacle has now been removed by the exten sion of the South Western Railway from Nine-elms to the foot of Hungerford Market Bridge, for which an Act of Parliament has been obtained this session ; and by the proposed railway bridge across the Thames, on the cast side of the Hungerford Market Suspension Bridge, for which a Company has been formed to obtain an Act in the ensuing session. Arrangements have been made with the South Western Railway Company, securing the terminus at Hungerford Market. The London, Hounslow, and Western Railway is intended to com mence at Hungerford Market Railway Bridge in the Strand, and run along the South Western line to a point near Battersea Church, thence crossing the Thames, and running througk Fulham, Hammer smith, Chiswick, Turnham Green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, and the intermediate towns and villages to Staines, with a branch from Hounslow to the Great Western Railway, at or near West Drayton. The South Western Company contemplate applying to Parliament in the ensuing Session for an Act to enabls them to extend their line from Hungerford Mallet Bridge to London Bridge, which will afford to this Company a terminus at London Bridge as well as at Hunger ford Market. The population and the mercantile traffic with London and the West of England, of the various localities through which this Rail way will pass, far exceed that of any other district in the vicinity of the metropolis, ant no available railway communication from those localities, either to London or to the western or south-western parts of England, at present exists. The line has been surveyed, and presents no engineering difficul ties ; the greater portion of the cluntry through which the railway will pass is nearly level ; very little ornamental and house property will be interfered with, and, as a consequence, the expense of con struction and of the acquisition of the ground for the line will be comparatively small. Time average weekly passenger traffic of Hounslow, Isleworth, Brentford, Kew-bridge, Turnham-green, Hammersmith, and Fulham bridge, taken front the Stamp-office returns, allowing eight pas sengers to each emnibus and coach, gives the following results : Passengers £ s. d, Hounslow Isleworth Omnibusses, per year, at Is.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENrS-31OSS Westminster rS.!a Parker and Preston, 21, Great George-street, Many of the principal merchants and traders in London and Man chester, engaged in the trade of those towns, being of opinion— That it is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the public, that they should not continue dependent for communication between London and Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of rail way, already inadequate to the purposes of the existing traffic. That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in consequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate. That an independent trunk line is necessary to guard the trade and commerce of the metropolis and Lancashire against excessive charges, and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly ; they have, therefore, established this Company to form such a line. The objects of the Company are— ' To form the shortest practicable line. To traverse it in the shortest possible time, consistently with safety, by the best motive power, at the cheapest fares, and at the least possible charge for goods. Experience has shown, as to railways, that the interest of the pub lic and the interests of the proprietors are identical. That the lowest fares and charges, and the quickest journeys, are advantageous to both. That system which has quintupled the number of letters by the post, the result of celerity and cheapness, must prove equally effica cious hi the transit of persons and goods. The promoters of the present undertaking are, for the most part, largely interested in the trade between London and Manchester. They deem another line essential to the increasing wants of the great manufacturing and commercial interests throughout the whole distance. Their own operations will contribute greatly to the traffic of the intended line, and they are, therefore, deeply interested in its eeta blishment. The London promoters of this line, in their ordinary commercial operations, now pay for the carriage of gooda, &c., a sum equal to four per cent. upon the whole capital ; an amount of traffic which will pass upon the direct line when completed. They are convinced that the time has arrived when direct lines to principal towns have become absolutely necessary, and will yield the greatest benefit to those interested in them, and to the country at largo. Tills line will afford accommodation to many considerable towns, as yet untouched by any existing line. It is intended to commence in London as near the centre of busi ness as possible. In its course, the line will approach to and accommodate the fol lowing towns—viz., Barnet, St. Albans, Dunstable, Luton, Ampthill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market liarborough, Leicester, Loughborough, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Burton-on-Trent, lUttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, atockport, and Manchester, terminating in the station of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. The present nearest approach to Manchester is by the London and Birmingham and the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, a dia. tance of 1971 miles. By the proposed line the distance will be con siderably shortened, and will form the nearest route to Carlisle, and all places north of Manchester. There will be no change of trains, or removal of luggage from one train to another ; no delay in waiting for trains from other parts of the country, but the same train will proceed without loss of time throughout the whole distance. The atmospheric principle will be publicly tested before the next session of Parliament, and the Committee will be prepared to adopt it, if in practice it shall vindicate its claims to superiority.

The present traffic by carriages, gigs, and horses may be estimated at one-half of the above amount. It has been ascertained by actual observation, that 3,264 carriages and gigs pass to and through Brent ford within a week. _ ...... Many of the numerous passengers by the steam-boats now plying on the Thames between London and the intermediate places to Brentford and Isleworth, will necessarily avail themselves of the su perior advantages of railway transit. Exclusive of the passenger traffic through Brentford, there are on an average 1,850 waggons and carts to Brentford every week. The extensive merchandise traffic on the River Thames between London and Staines, and the intermediate towns, is subject to great interruption upwards from Brentford, by droughts in summer, and by floods and frosts in winter ; the circuitous course of the river and the great horse-power required to draw the barges against the strong current, render the traffic by the river slow and very expensive. Every description of merchandise can be carried by this railway at a much less rate, and quicker than by the present water carriage. Since the opening'of the Great Western Railway a large portion of the former passenger and merchandise traffic has been transferred to that railway from the old Great Western coach-road, which is parallel with this line, a great part of which will necessarily be restored to the London, Hounslow, and Western Railway.

It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great mart of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; awl afterwards to lay such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water power. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,0001. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un dertaking will be one of unusual profit. _ _ Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no Ihrther portion of the capital will be called for than may be sufficient to construct that line ; and if the objects of the Company be not carried out, the whole of the deposit-money will be returned.

RAILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD, passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Cat:meter, to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil, thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving is that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East. and will also afford a transit for the -Eastern counties traffic from Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal landowners frnm near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure. 7t. most Influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew Gaunt, Esq., Highfleld House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq., Abbots Bromley, near tatometer.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and Brandon line at Thetford ; thereby to complete the shortest and best communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk, and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the great trunk lines of the north and west. . _ _ For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of 10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan, refer to their original prospectus. The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form, it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other . _ lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th, 1845) that "It Is necessary to advert to a railway called the Chelms ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a mere populous district than that Intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) "there is a strong local feeling in its fay. ur, evinced by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury." The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the Chairman (Lord Sandon) previous to giving a decision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsfor ' and Bury scheme." To these public testimonials in favour of the 'Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line. In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which It may be pre sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference well as to original. spectable as any of those to whom Shares cou l d then he will he given to original applicants, as given ; and Share holders. _ _ . .

READING, SATURDAY.—Throughout to-day this town has been in a state of great excitement, in consequence of a report gaining ground that on the previous evening a woman, named Elizabeth Spicer, residing at No. 16, Howard-street, had been found in a lifeless state in the cellar of the house, under circumstances which led to the conclusion that she had come to an untimely end by the hands of her husband, William Spicer, a journey man basket-maker, and who has been taken into custody on the charge of having caused the death of his wife. Considerable sensation prevails throughout the town ; the more so as happily so dreadful a crime has not been perpetrated in this borough within the remembrance of the oldest inhabitant. The inquest was held this evening at the public office, before Mr. G. Morton, Deputy Coroner for the borough, and a respectable jury, when the following witnesses were examined : Martha Anbry deposed—l am on a visit to my sister, Mrs. Tomkins, of No. 15, Howard-street, next door to Mr. Spicer's. I knew the deceased by her coming in and out of my sister's house ; saw her about eleven o'clock yesterday, when she was in her usual good health. She came to borrow a clothes-prop of my sister. We dined between twelve and one o'clock. Whilst at dinner we heard a noise in the adjoining house, occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. Spicer, like something heavy falling down stairs. My sister said, " Oh ! what can - that be ?—surely that is never Mrs. Spicer fallen down ?" I said, " Stop, don't you go, 111 run," and instantly ran out of the door into the front garden, and looked through Mr. Spicer's window. I there saw Mr. Spicer looking down the cellar stairs, and I concluded that nothing serious had happened. I distinctly saw Mr. Spicer standing looking down the stairs. I went back into my sister's house and said, " Oh, there is nothing the mat ter, Mr. Spicer is at home." At the time I saw Mrs. Spicer in the morning she appeared perfectly sober. I heard nothing disagreeable pass between them before I heard the noise. Henry Tomkins—l live at No. 15, Howard-street, and am by trade a shoemaker. I live next door to Mr. Spicer. I have known Mrs. Spicer for about two years. Last November they were married. I saw Mrs. Spicer about eleven o'clock yesterday. She came into my house to borrow a clothes-prop. About half-past twelve we were at dinner, when we heard a tremendous crash in the next house, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Spicer. We were all alarmed, having heard that Mrs. Spicer had a fit some time before. We said, " There is poor Mrs. Spicer fallen down stairs." I did not see Mrs. Spicer any time between hearing that noise and eight o'clock is the evening. About eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Spicer came out of his front door, and I went out. He said, " Mr. Tomkins, have you seen anything of my wife?" I said, " No; is she not at home?" He said, " I came home to my tea and did not find her. I cannot make out where she is got to." I said, " Oh dear, it is not she that has fallen down the cellar." He said, " Oh dear, I do not know," and went immediately towards the cellar-door. I was in my own garden at the time. In about a minute he came out again and said, " Oh dear me, my wife is dead." It was near eight o'clock, and he had no candle. Spicer then immediately got a light, and Mr. House, who had been in my house, went in, to Spicer's, and took the candle, and both of us went down the cellar. Whilst we were in the cellar, Mr. Spicer was sitting down in a chair in his front room. We found the body of Mrs. Spicer at the bottom of the stairs, and her face against the wall. She was lying on her right side, with a great wound in her temple. The head was dreadfully cut and bruised, and there was a great deal of blood on her head. Her cap was off her head, and her clothes smooth upon her body. Her legs were in an upward position, resting on the steps. I imme diately went to inform Mr. Moulton, the superintendent of police of this borough. 13y the DEPUTY-CORONER-When I saw her in the morning she was perfectly sober.. She was not a person addicted to drinking. They were not in the habit of quarrelling, but about three weeks ago we heard them quarrel for about an hour upstairs. She has frequently complained to me of her husband coming home intoxi cab- d, and late at night. Mr. House and myself went into the cellar. Mr. Spicer was sitting in the front room, and he made no observation. The noise I heard was a crash, as if something heavy had fallen. The blood I saw was black and congealed. George House, of No. 30, Uprr Hosier-street, la bourer—l knew Mr. and Mrs. Spicer before they were marred, about eight months ago. I was at Mr. Tom kins's house about half-past seven o'clock last night until about eight o'clock. I was standing at Mr. Tom kins's gate, about to have when Mr. Spicer came to his door, and asked Mr. Tomkins if his (Mr. Spicer's) wifo was at Mr Tomkins's house. Mr. Tomkins replied, s n a o ia ,• n e o n , d h e a s h k a e d d b M e e r n . S u p p ie s et sta r ir i f s. s h m e r w . T a s o n n u i p p s - s t tai hen rs' ask H ed e him if she was down in the cellar ? He said, "I do not know, but I will go and see," and then lighted a candle, and went to the cellar-door down a step or two. He then returned and placed the candle on the table, and came to the door and said to me, " Oh, she is down there." I then direct , called Mr. Tomkins, and we went together to Spicer's. The candle was on the table. We went down stairs. Mr. Spicer remained in the front room, crying. I saw the body at the bottom of the stairs, the feet were upwards, and the head doubled under. The face was covered with blood. Saw the left eye wounded. The other was pressing against the wall. There was much blood on the floor. The cap was off the head. I saw the bread lying on the floor.
