T AT T io Ir of ofIN D th u e sT S ß O y e w MY as T held fo a r t the Ex MetEerHAZ on T AL uesda M y c , I J EPE uIy 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair, at which the following resolutions were moved and carried : Resolved,—Pirst—That this Society cannot retrain from expressing its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions introduced by. Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 26th of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while the rich are growing richer, the poor are growing poorer;"—and this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis tressed condition of the labouring dated can avail anything, or be satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of actual destitutidn and suffering under which it is acknowledged the labouring classes in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own,' nor to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in judicious leg3 , Yaon, of which the most striking example is tl‘e per. Melons currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus the one object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it is the Intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities, to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally in arise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro clueing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insuffi cient rate.

The Intended line has been inspected by qualified parties. For a considerable distance it is of an easy character, and throughout it presents no striking or costly engineering features. No residential case occurs, and the promoters have confidence that the undertaking will be cordially approved of by the landed and other local interests. It has the sanction and active assistance of Directors from almost every line o. railway which it affects, either immediately or re motely. It has been submitted to the Council of the borough of Southampton, by whom resolutions in its favour have been unani mously passed. It has the earnest support of the inhabitants of that town, and of the manufacturing and commercial classes of the North, and th 4 promoters are not aware of any grounds, either public or private, upon which the sanction of Parliament can be withheld from It. Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour ; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making it dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency of the country, like all other commodities, and In obedience to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in a shape and in amounts exclusivelyusefhl to the monied class, should be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of one pound and upwards ; that these notes being necessarily confined within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tdnder money of the nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed ftom their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon foreign exchanges. Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth being found side by side with great poverty" is "inseparable from civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the tecent dis cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions, have been studicusly excluded.

This line is the natural result of opening out, by an important main trunk like the South Wales Railway, a country rich in minerals, with a large and rapidly increasing population, both of which have hitherto been but imperfectly supplied with the means of transit. The numerous mines, collieries, iron, copper, tin plate, Rre brick, chemical, and other works, already in operation and in course of being opened, in the interior of South Wales, especially in the country through which this lint will pass, and which are now being exten sively multiplied there, seek a more speedy and ready access to the main line than existing modes supply, and hence the necessity for affording to the important valley between Neath and Merthyr Tydvil the most perfect means of communication, not only with the South Wales Railway, but with the ports of Neath and Swansea, the natural and legitimate outlets for the produce of the valley ; whence the supply of flour and other provisions from Ireland can be cheaply and expeditiously conveyed into the heart of the country. The proposed line will commence at Neath by a Junction with the South Wales Railway, will continue up the Valley to near Pont Walby, thence to Merthyr Tydvll, passing within a short distance of the extensive iron works lying in that district. The advantage of the natural fall of country, being from Merthyr to Neath, calls forth a strong opinion in the following extract from the report of the Board of Trade on Railways in South Wales By the proposed line (the South Wales) the principal towns and commercial emporiums, which are situated along the coast at the bottom of the valleys, are placed upon the main line, to which the tragic from the interior will descend—a consideration which is very important when we recollect that a great part if this traffic will consist of heavy minerals." The Vale of Neath intersects the great coal and iron fields of South Wales, and possesses anthracite, as well as bituminous coal, in great abundance. In addition to the collieries and iron works, there are also tin works adjoining the proposed line, and valuable timber, to the extent of 4,000 acres. It is unnecessary to give a detailed estimate of the probable re venue that will arise from the Vale of Neath Railway; it is sufficient to say, that, in the districts between and through which it will pass, the population numbers above 80,000, depending chiefly on the sup plies now transmitted to the interior through Swansea and Neath; that the intercourse between the above towns is such as to bear out a most favourable estimate of passenger traffic; and that 200,000 tons of coal, exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the. Yale of Neath, finding a ready market in France, Ireland, Somerset shire, Devonshire, Cornwall, London, and other places. From these mere outlines it is evident that the increased facility of transit which this Railway will afford over the present modes of conveyance, con nected as it will be with Swansea and Briton Ferry (the port of Meath) by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a cor responding increase of Production and traffic. Under the latter head, as regards passengers, may be taken into consideration the large numbers that resort to Swansea from the interior for seadrathing, and the strikingly picturesque and richly varied beauty cif the Vale of Neath, with its famed waterfalls, will be a source of never-failing attraction to tourists and parties of pleasure. The most favourable opinion is entertained of the Vale of Neath Railway by almost all the lauded proprietors along the line, the majority of whom are members of the Provisional Committee, the lessees of collieries, and parties engaged in shipping; and It s im portance as a profitable investment may be judged from the fact that the Neath Canal, which now traverses only half the distance of the proposed line, and affords, even to that limited extent, but imperfect accommodation, has for many years paid a large dividend to the proprietary, and the original 1001. shares are now marketable at 3401. l'rospectuses may be had, and applications for shares may be ad dressed, in the form annexed, to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 440, West Strand, London, and to the Solicitors in Lon don, or Neer. In the allotment of the shares of the Company, a preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the Proprietors of Shares in the South Wales Railway Company. The usual power will be taken by the Act, to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the amount of subscriptions paid up ; and no subsefiber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit of 1/. 108. per share, until tile Act is obtained, and then not be yond the amount of his subscription.

The purpose of this undertaking is to provide for Manchester and the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire a direct access to Southampton, now the mail port to the Channel Is lands, the West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, the whole of Asia Minor, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and the numerous other ports and Islands of the Mediteranean ; to Persia, the East Indies, and China, to which vast and increasing markets the port of Southampton is becoming the outlet for British manufactures from the north. The postal communication is now effected by the circuitous route of London, and is necessarily subject to delay there, whereas on the completion of this railway, Southampton must necessarily beconie a far better point than London for the distributing of fbreign letters. The merchandise shipped for foreign stations from Southampton is, in like manner, subject to delay, and to the inconvenience and added cost of cartage through the Metropolis, and transference from one railway to another. These evils are sensibly felt, as well at Southampton as by the general commercial interests of the country. The Collector of her Majesty's Customs at the port of Southampton stated, before recent Parliamentary Committees, that the exports from Southampton, of which in 1832 the declared value was only 62,1631., will this year exceed three millions sterling—that upwards of 40,000 persons em bark and disembark to foreign ports there annually, and that 671 voyages were made by steam .packets from the port last year—that the trade consists generally of exports of manufactures from the nor thern districts—Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Dudley, &c.—that there is also a considerable import trade of fruits, and, of raw materials for manufactures, such as raw silk and dye stuffs, which are sent to the north. If a direct line were formed (the Collector stated), he had no doubt the exports would rise in one year to ten millions sterling; and he added that the advantages of transmission, by a direct line, of the mails to and from Southampton and the North, which now go round by London, would be very great, especially in the case of Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, &c, Whilst, however, as is thus officially admitted, a Railway com pleting the line of direct communication is calculated extensively to promote great commercial and public interests, it will also benefit and assist essentially :the local requirements of the districts tra versed. The line is intended to commence at a point in convenient connexion with the Public Quays and the Docks at Southampton, and to proceed by Redbridge, Romsey, Stockbridge, Andover, Lud gershall, Marlborough, Swindon, Cricklade, and Cirencester to Chel tenham, there joining the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway ; thus opening up Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds, and York, the Iron Districts and the Potteries of Staffordshire, Manchester, and the manufacturing districts, Liverpool and the West of Scotland, and by existing and projected routes, Chester, Birkenhead, Holyhead, and Ireland—bringing into connexion the Irish Sea and the English Channel. Excluding the termini and their adjacent towns, a railway along this route will accommodate a local population of about 300,000 per sons mainly employed in agricultural pursuits, and will also have within its range the important manufacturing districts of Glouces tershire. To these localities, to which seaborne coal is now imported at a very heavy cost, Leicestershire and Staffordshire coal may be conveyed by railway at a considerably reduced price, The iron of Staffordshire, and the wares of Birmingham and the Potteries, will have the benefit of a new port, and a new market will be opened for the salt of the Droitwich mines—objects, the necessity of which has this year been strongly pressed upon Parliament. Stone, lime, tiles, slates, grain, wool, cattle—and all the requirements and production of a rich and fertile agricultural district will also pass along the line. The traffic by coach in the direction of Southampton, Salisbury, Andover, Marlborough, Swindon, Cirencester, Cheltenham, and remoter places, is very considerable, notwithstanding that exist ing railways have for the time diverted much of it from Its natural channels. There cart be no doubt, however, that whilst the intercourse between the rich comities of Hants, Dorset, Wilts and Gloucester, on the one hand, and Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the West of Scotland on the other, is already abundant, the commu nication from North to South, as well for the purposes of commerce as of pleasure, must be greatly promoted by the formation of a Railway, especially in connexion with the coast lines of Railway running East and West from Southampton, —on the one hand, through Dorset-, shire, and on the other by Portsmouth to Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. A further advantage to the enterprise and commerce of the country will be found in the favourable character of the port of Southampton and the low rates on shipping and cargoes—those on the shipping amounting in no instance to more than threepence per ton register, and live shillings per vessel boomage, and on the car goes to three shillings and fourpence per ton export charge at the decks, and, if shipped at tile public quays, to a similar moderate de,- mend. No charge at either place of shipment will be incurred for cartage or lighterage, and the trains stopping In immediate proximity to the docks, quays, and wharfs, can have their various burdens run by tram-roads directly alongside the vessels.

It contains au active population of from 45,000 to 50,000 persons, and a surface of about 100,000 acres. It is an extensive pasturage for sheep, 10,000 lambs being annually sold for the London market ; and, whilst it imports all the luxuries and many of the necessaries of life, it exports a large quantity of grain and of other commodities. i t is a point of attraction to visliers from every partof England, the steamers conveying to and fro about 200,000 persons annually. Railways already abut upon the Island at Southampton and t;csport ; a third will run in the immediate neighbourhood of Ly mington, and a terminus at Portsmouth will shortly add to thefaci lities. A very large local population also lies in immediate neigh bourhood to the Island. • The South-Western Railway Company carried, during the first 27 weeks of 1844, 390,000 persons, whilst in the like pe'iod of the yearpre (pleasure trains haring been established) the numb e r car rien d t as 462,000, showing an Increase, within a few months, of up wards of 71,000 travellers. The proposal is to construct a railway along the banks of the Me dina, from Cowes to the county town of Newport, and to Ventnor, with a fork to Hyde. The works will interfere with no residential or ornamental pro perty. Contractors of the highest respectability are prepared to gua rantee the assumed cost. A gentleman of experience in the working of railways has Investi gated the traffic with care and deliberation ; and the result of his Calculations, which are framed in strict accordance with the Parlia mentary rule, justifies the promoters in expecting a most abundant return upon the outlay.

SAUNDEBS, Secretary, Brook-street, Ipswich, August 2, 1845. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY EXTEN SION TO NORWICH AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S. tioTICE is hereby given that the Act authorising the extension from the Eastern Union Railway at Ipswich to Bury St. Edmund's, has received the sanction of Parliament, and a Company is incorporated for the construction of it, under the title of the IPSWICH AND BURY SAINT ED MUND'S RAILWAY. The part so sanctioned (twenty-six miles in length) comprehends fifteen miles of the line to Norwich, and the execution of the works has already been undertaken by highly re spectable contractors, within the estimate of the Engineer, and com menced. The Directors will vigorously push forward the line, so as to open it for traffic in twelVe mouths from this time; and Parliament willabe applied to in the next session for powers to authorise the con struction of the other portion (thirty miles, or thereabouts, in length), which lies between Stowmarket and Norwich, thereby com pleting a communication between the important towns of Norwich, Ipswich, and miry, and carrying out the views of the subscribers in forming the shortest direct line between Norwich and London, as effectually as if the whole project had succeeded this year. To give effect to these arrangements, Proprietors of the Scrip issued for the Extensions are required to forward them to the Offices of the Company, Brook-street, Ipswich, addressed to the Secretary, stating at the same time their Christian and surnames, place of abode, and designation, for the purpose of registry, on the following terms, which have been agreed upon by the Provisional Committee with the Board of Directors, and which they deem both equitable and advantageous to the Proprietors, viz.:- - ,- They will, on transmittinfi their Scrip, be registered in the Ips wich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company, to the extent of two-fifths of tie amount of such Scrip, and receive Shares under the Corporate Seal for the same; and as to the three-fifths, they will remain Proprietors of that portion of the capital in a re-issue of Scrip, on which they will be credited with the deposits already made in respect of it last year, and be subjected to no other Call or deposit until a further Act of Parliament is obtained. No other persons are entitled to be Shareholders in the New Com pany than those who are Proprietor% of Eastern Union Extension Scrip Shares. The Solicitors are preparing the necessary deeds to enable the Di rectors to carry forward the project in the next session. The receipt of the Scrip Certificates will be duly acknowledged, and on the completion of the Registry, and on the signing of such Parlia mentary documents as are necessary, the registered Shares, mid the new Extension Scrip, will be issued to the persons who may transmit those now called in, and claim the conversion announced. It is intended that the Extension to Norwich shall be prosecuted as a continuation ef the Ipswich and Bury Saint Edmund's Railway,' so that the whole shall constitute one undertaking. The holder of Extension Scrip will forfeit all right and claim to the New Shares in respect of which no such application for registry shall have been received on or before the 10th day of September next, and the person to whom the original Scrip was allotted will be recog nised as the Proprietor thereof. Under the poWers contained in the Ipswich and Eery Saint Ed mund's Act, interest at the rate of 4 per sent. will be paid to the shareholders on the deposit and all calls mad. while the works are in operation--such interest commences from the passing of the Bill on the 21st ultlmo. The First Ordinary Meeting under the Act, will take place at the offices of the Company, in Ipswich, on Friday, the 12th day of Sep tember next, when none but registered Shareholders will be entitled to vote.
