Manchester and Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin gencies also. If it be desirab'e that the terminus of every railway should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in this re spect the present project is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury to Manchester, that a course due north and south between these places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line ; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 26 miles. By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tabllshed—a line, elsa, however. superior in position to others pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton. In the allotment of shares in this Company the Directors propose giving a preference to shareholders in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway Company. _ .

This short but important line of railway is intended to commence at a point in the Teen and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to Snareston, and to extend to Leicester. It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the frame brought to Leicester by means of the south Midlands, the Bedford, and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important railway termini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool. This great line of rail‘Vay, it will be observed, traverses the finest coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon- Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and rapidly-Increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Grealey, as well as those of Staffordshire. An inspection of the map will show that the junction line now proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors. The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove Valley Railway Company. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders in that Company, and to parties locally interested in the line. The capit .1 of the Company will be 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited. Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary and Solicitors; and applications for shares must be made to ;he secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro visional Committee, a hanker, or to one of the solicitors of the Company. _ . Sliarei,olders in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway who apply, will please to state the number of shares they hold in that Company. Bartoa-on-Trout, Sept. la, 18411.

It will form a dhect com munication between two of the most important manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Dudley, Tlpton,Walsali, Biiston, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton. . . . . This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Abcrystwith, and with Porthdy - fillaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds and Southampton. The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro moters of this undertaking. It Will proceed through Masten and Mayfield to AshboUrn, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmfirth to Huddersfield, where it will join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica tion between the important towns above mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of, ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caidon Mines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteriec, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the Immense traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, asd Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There are large lead tnd slate quarries on the line winch only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work. The coal is of a superior quality. There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists; and particular care will be taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great meetingen s v a e t influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire, canaland vast company, andother the l t i a e r r d y ll , n c e i s r circuitous, i troaui railway a a y mie Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will be great. agots canal market e n b v y e Tte , t n itimberfr w o o m ods, andtheneigKihbnogusrthonoodwoofodtsh,e upwards s ood of Forest ooo Ban li ac k r e es' ob e j h ec ie ti fl o y nab fi l n e ds rol l i t t s e of w tard ayto y y mace ; where as thi s li ne wou ld o p en a direct, easy, and c h eap communication to new markets.

At a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Canterbury, convened by the Mayor, in pursuance of a requisition numerously signed, for the purpose of taking into eon sideration the projected line proposed by the North Kent Company, held at the Guildhall, in the city of Canterbury, on Monday, the 22d of September, 4845, and which was attended by a deputation from the North Kent Company, consisting of Sir I. L. Goldsmid, Bart., the Chairman, and five other members of the Committee of Manage ment, and by a Deputation from the Great Kent Atmospheric pro moters, consisting of IV. A. Wilkinson, Esq., Chairman of the Lon don and Croydon Railway Company, and others, JOHN BRENT, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, the following Resolutions were proposed and carried, with only seven dissentients : That it is the opinion of this meeting that a direct line of railway, along the old line of communication, from Dov -r through Canter bury, is greatly required through the wealthy and populous district of North Kent, by which that p trt of the county may be in direct communication with the metropolis. That the line projected by Mr. Vignoles, termed the North Kent Railway, appears to this meeting to be the best adapted to meet the exigencies and to promote the interests of the county generally, and of this district in particular. That it cannot be supposed that the efficient service of the public, Or the local interest of the inhabitants, will be as well attended to by a company already in possession of a line through another part of the county, as by an independent and competing _company. That this meeting and the inhabitants of Canterbury .view with distrust and apprehension the scheme proposed 157 the South-Eastern Company, and they now renew the pledge heretofore given, to use their best endeavours to carry out the object of the projectors of the Vigil°les' North Kent Railway. That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Mayor for his con duct in the chair. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT, NTORTHERN COUNTIES (ROSS, SUTHER LAND, AND CAITHNESS DIRECT RAILWAY. To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural, and commercial, improve ments, which of late years have made such rapid strides in these counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanction of the most influential patronage, a railway by the most direct practicable route, to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern and consuming portions of the empire. Adopting the line which may be found the shortest to Dingwall consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work ing, and to the rights and interests of private parties, and from Ding wall by Novar to Bonar-bridge, the distance of the county of Suther land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other route. - From - Bonar the line would pass by Lairg, through the valleys of the Brora and of the Frie, and by strath Helm,sdale to the Thurso water; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland through its length and passing into the most populous parts of Caithness, diverging to the right and left to Wiek and Thurso. A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with the trunk line. _ _ _ In Ross-shire a branch would be formed from the main line to In vergordon, and this branch might be extended to the burgh of Thin. Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of which are but generally indicated above) care:tiny examined by ex perienced surveyors and engineers ; and as soon as data whic - :► may be relied on have been matured, a full prospectus, vi.h the n-rnes of the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars, will be published. Meantime communications from parties interested in the proposed undertaking Inv, up to the Ist of October next, be addressed to William Mackenzie, Esq., of Muirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh Innes Cameron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall ; G. S. Taylor, Esq., Golspie ; Peter Wilson, Esq., W.S., Town Clerk of Wick ; M. Snody, Esq., Thurso ; or to Messrs.

The importance of connecting remote parts of E gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is flow proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will dii erge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the coarse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the wester► and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns •f Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedit ns at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd , n a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to "%Vantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hail to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for shares may be made. T purs lON uan ß t A t l o L 7 W an A d Y B .

SE M C e o s This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and Itereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, proceed ing through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway ac commodation, to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Nant y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebba Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais, to Merthyr Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Rail way. The dis tance will not exceed forty miles. On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunction with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway, via Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will percect a continuous and direct communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north. The population of Merthyr, and the surrounding mineral districts, exceeds 120,000, and this line will place it in direct connexion with the agricultural counties of Monmouth , Ilereford, and Worcester. The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommodation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it will pass, and a saving of ten miles over any other linewill be effected between Merthyr and Worcester, and other places north and east of that city. Arrangements are in progress with the Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway CamPanY, for the mutual advantage of bilth Companies. Applicants for shares, who are personally known to members of the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such Committee; all other applicants will be required to give a reference to some banker or other persons of k nown respectsility in London or the tows from which the application is mad A preference will be given to the holders of scrip in the Worcester and South Wales Junc tion Railway. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allo w i n t erest at four per cent. per annum on the amount of subset iption paid up, and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his subscription.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENC. MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, AND GREAT GRIMSBY DIRECT RAILWAY, via BARNS LEY AND DONCASTER, commencing at Penistoue Station at the junction of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester and the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railways.

It is intended as above stated to commence the line at Penistone at the Junction of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manches ter, and the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railways, and to proceed in a direct course south of and near to Barnsley, passing thence through or near to the extensive and inexhaustfole coal fields of Worsborough Dale, Silkstone. Cawthorne, Darton, Bretton, Billingley, and others in the Barnsley District, thence continuing in a direct line through or near to Wombwell, Darfleld (where it will cross the North Mid land Railway), Thurnscoe, Wath Swinton, Bolton, Hickleton, Barm borough, Mexborough, Conisborough, Sprotborough, Bentley, Don caster (where it will cross the London and York Railway), and proceed through or near to Armthorpe, Cawtley, Brampton (win a future branch to Thorne, and such further branches as may be eventually determinzal upon), Auckley, Wroot (where it will enter the Isle of ►xholms), and through or near to Haxey, Epworth, Belton, Butterwick, Oweton, Messingham, and then terminate in a junction with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Railway, at or near Glanford Brigg, thus connecting, by the construction of a new line of railway of forty-six miles in length, or thereabouts (the entire line required to be made). The great manufacturing, mineral, and agricultural dis tricts of Lancashire and Yorkshire with Lincolnshire and the rapidly improving port of Great Grimsby, so as to aflbrd the products of the several counties a most direct course of transit, thereby also greatly facilitating the introduction of foreign merchandise, and by this means perfecting the channel of communication betweea the Irish Sea and the German Ocean. The existing routes are very circuitous, so much so, that the pro posed line will effect a saving of about twenty miles, when compared with the Manchester, and Leeds, and the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railways to Great Grimsby, and of about fifteen miles com pared with the Sheffield and Manchester, and the Oreat Grimsby and Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railways, and the relative distance from other places will be proportionally shortened. Several schemes are now before the public to connect, in the best practicable manner, Keighly and Halifax with Huddersfield, so as to effect a direct North and South communication. When this desidera tum shall be accomplished, the proposed new line, will, in addition to the advantages before mentioned, form a grand direct railway com munication from Scotland and the Northern Counties, via Hudders field, to the flourishing port of Great Grimsby, whilst the additional traffic brought to bear upon the proposed line to and from the con templated new Staffordshire and Derbyshire Lines, by uniting with the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railway, at or near Holinfirth, must considerably enhance the value of the undertaking. Independent of the above, and of the superior advantages afforded by the proposed line for the shipping of coal to the London and other markets, a considerable augmentation of traffic may be expected from the North Midland and the London and York Railways. The important and agricultural town and neighbourhood of Don caster, hitherto comparatively isolated, for want of proper railway accommodation, will, by the aid of the London and York Railway ane the proposed line, both passing through the town, be at once brought, in connexion with all the main railway arteries in the kingdom. The value of the stock in the Hudderstielu and Sheffield Junction Railway mast necessarily be greatly increased by the proposed line, whilst the facilities given for the transit of goods from Liverpool and Manchester to Great Grimsby must eventually materially add to the importance and benefit of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. The country through which the line will pass is admirably adapted for carrying out the design cf the promoters. Nothing beyond ordi nary engineering difficulties is to be met with. A satisfactory survey of the entire line, by the acting engineer, has already been made, and the sections of the line are in course of preparation, so that there is the utmost confidence that the scheme will be ;Lilly perfected in due time ior the approaching session of Parliament. The number of Shares already subscribed for is very considerable, and au early allotment may therefore be expected. An influential Provisional Committee is now forming, and the names of the gentle men composing it will shortly be publicly announced. In the mean time, further information may be obtained from the Solicitors, at whose Offices Plans and Surveys of the Line are lodged for inspection, and applications for Shares (in the form given below), accompanied with satisfactory references, may also be addressed to them, to their London Agents, or to the following Brokers: namely, Messrs. 11111, Fawcett, and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London ; David Kinnear, Edinburgh; Lloyd and Price, Liverpool; Cardwell and Sons, Manchester ; Welibeloved, and Co., Bell and Ledger, Leeds ; Garton and Wright, Sheffield; George Bowlby, Hull ; Charles Claye, Halifax ; John Cragg Skipton ; F.

Exeter, Sept. 22, 1845. [Oar Correspondent sends his name.] MISS KELLY'S THEATRE. In general it should be made a point of principle not to notice an amateur performance in any public journal. If a party of gent'emen choose to hire a theatre for their amusement, and invite their friends to witness them, it is as unfair to select theta as a mark for reprehen sion as to write a critique on the turbot or the haunch of mutton with which the giver of a dinner party regales his private guests. We have, however, found an occasion to depart from this general principle. The remarkable nature of the performance we are about to notice might of itself be almost a sufficient excuse, but we find our full justification in the fact that there was nothing that could incur censure even according to a severe standard of criticism, and, farther, in the belief that publicity will not be disagreeable to the persons immediately concerned. The fact is, that a party of gentlemen, well known to the literary world, performed Ben Jonson's admirable comedy of _Every Man its his Humour on Saturday night. We subjoin the cast, which is a complete curiosity : Kitely ..... . Knowell .. ••• • • Captain Bobadil • • Brainworm Mr. Mark Lemon. Edward Knowell Downright Master Stephen .... Mr. Douglas Jerrold. Master Matthew .. Thomas Cash ..... Oliver Cob Mr. Leigh. Justice Clement Roger Formal ..... Mr. Evans. William.... • • • Mr. a'Beckett. James Dame Kitely .. Miss Fortescue. Mrs. Bridget ] Unknown. Tib To all persons conversant with the current literature of the day, the above names will be perfectly familiar. Mr. Forster is celebrated as a connoisseur of the drama, and as the biographer of the repub lican statesman whose lives were published in Lardner's Cycloptedia. ' Mr. Charles Dickens is the immortal "Boz ;" Mr. Mark Lemon is the writer of several successful pieces, and, if report be trusted, the editor of Punch ; Mr. Dudley Costello Is the author of several popular tales ; Mr. Douglas Jerrold is one of the most powerful supporters of Punch, and the first comic dramatist of the day; Mr. Leech is the caricaturist to Punch ; Mr. Mayhew and Mr. Leigh are contributors to the same periodical, the former being, moreover, a successful dra matist, and the latter the author of the " Comic Grammar." Mime Fortescue is the intelligent and interesting actress of the Haymarket Theatre. The performance was "strictly private," and the audience was perhaps the most select that could have been found in the English metropolis. Not only did it comprise individuals of the highest rank, but it consisted of the real aristocracy suited to the occasion—of the persons who by profession, education, or taste, were completely qualified to appreciate the entertainment that was offered them. A less " green" assembly could not be imagined. Amateur performances always go off well in a certain sense, be cause the privilege of expressing disapprobation is not allowed. But the triumph achieved on Saturday was far beyond the negative kind of success. Not only did the audience applaud with the utmost'zeal, and call for all the actors, but their conversation among each other showed how sincerely they approved what they had witnessed. A higher reward than such approbation from such an audience could not have been obtained. It must be distinctly understood, that the gentlemen did not play " well for amateurs," but that they played well absolutely ; that the comedy was sustained with a degree of animation and intelligence net often attained at a regular theatre. Mr. Forster adopted what may be called a liacready view of Kitely, but it would be the height of injustice to ascribe to him the merit only of a successful imitation. The wavering manner of the suspicious husband, the agony of in cessant doubt, the feverish retraction of a proposition almost before it is completely uttered, were evidently the result of a pro found conception and acute discernment. The part of Kitely is not one of those that eau be picked op lightly, and as it were act itself, but every phrase, every gesture must be weighed, if the actor would *give it. proper force. The energy with which Mr. Forster brought out the character was fully equal to the elaboration with which he ex hibited its most subtle turns. Bohadil, an excellent, though a less difficult part, was played with admirable spirit by Mr. Dickene. lie assumed the swagger of the " Paul's man" with an ease that be longed to a stage veteran rather than to an amateur. The perfect change which he brought over the whole manner and bearing of the character after the beating, the substitution of a sneaking, pitiful-look ing wretch for a gallant flaunting boaster, was a masterly transforma tion. Be was excellently supported by Mr. Leech, as the empty, fri volous and foppish Master Matthew. Mr. Jerrold's Master Stephen was a fine study—the conception of the by-play was perfect. The only objection was, that the real intelligence of the man could not be completely concealed in the " country gull." The many-formed Brainworm found a most adequate representative in Mr. dark. Lemon, who, In the disguise of the soldier, assumed an aspect of quiet distress and humility that made us forget that Brainworm only puts on the garb fur the nonce, and became really pathetic. To sum up all, we have never seen a play rendered more truly interesting than this comedy was by the gentleman who sustained it. It was followed by one of the versions of Passe Minuit, called a A Good Night's Rest, excellently played by Mr. Dickens and Mr. Mark Lemon, A better play than Jouson's comedy could not have been selected for this occasion. There are so many varieties of character, or, as old Ben would have said, so many "humours," that a scope is af forded for a great number of actors to display their peculiar talents, instead of being the mere satellites to some single luminary. Let us hope that, if they give us another performance, they will again look to this neglected author. It would be a great exploit to bring Volpone on the scene. SPEECH of the KING of SAXONY. The opening of the States of the fifth Constitutional Diet took place on the 14th. After the usual religious ceremonies, the King, accompanied by Prince John and Prince Albert, returned into the Salle, and pronounced the following discourse : " Gentlemen of the States ' —I have assembled you rolled my throne at an earlier period than usual, in order to settle the law on the finances before the expiration of the year, and in order to avoid its being consented to provisionally. The country will appreciate the sacrifice made by many of you in being thus torn from your ordinary occupations. Since the closing of the last diet, the amicable relations with foreign states have been maintained and strengthened. The treaties concluded with Belgium, Sardinia, and Portugal, have secured fresh advantages to our commerce. "By the conclusion of an additional clause to the treaty of navigation with the Elbe, that navigation has obtained further facilities. An amicable arrangement, based on reci procal confidence and esteem, has secured us from the Aus trian Government the restoration of the Schirgiswalde with its dependencies. Negotiations relative to the general regu lation of the frontiers have been again opened with the king dom of Bohemia, and carried on in the same spirit. There is every reason to expect a satisfactory solution. The engage ments whieh are imposed on us as members of the Germanic Confederation render necessary some changes in the law; of recruitment, particularly with regard to the reserve. These changes will be submitted to your consideration. "Although I can allude to the satisfactory state of the in ternal affairs of the kingdom, there are nevertheless some afflicting events which I have to remark. An event, much to be regretted, which wounds the dearest feelings of my heart, has recently taken place in one of the most important cities of the kingdom; and I have no doubt you will sym pathise in my grief on the subject. The agitation which has manifested itself on several points connected with religious affairs, and which threatens to destroy all harmony, and get beyond the bounds of good order, merits the most serious attention. Without taking into account the creeds of the various recognised churches, I promised, on ascending the throne, to support, above all, those religious feelings which the people of Saxony have known how to maintain in such an honourable manner. I expressed the conviction that the states of Saxony will be guided by the same respect torwhat is the most sacred thing in the world. If my canfide o nccl this respect be well founded, I hope, and I rely that 3u will grant me your support, in order that the principlea r of Church may not be shaken, and that the fu ndamental pil itarshe of the state, and the welfare of humanity , religion, and faith, may not be sapped at their foundation. and the favourable result of the pu ll wed the engage.. last Diet, have a o " A system of rigorous severity in b t l h ic e r e e c s o o n u o r m c e y s o as the well s t a t a s e, the means secured by the treasury to be strictly ful ts a proposition to be filled. This men ts contracted .favoi b ir y ab reduction of the taxes on manufacturing submitted for the reduc t l h e e res pu u b lt lic pe tr r e nri the adoption of other means to meet the and personal interests. The construction of lines of railroads rendered The prosperous state of public credit hasdree nmidemands edds permitted, even before the completion of the railroads which lead to adjoining countries, to authorise the construc tion of the branch lines from Schemmiz to Reiza, and from Lobau to Zittar, which will spare the public treasury a greit sacrifice. Several important bills have been prepared by the Committee of the two Chambers, and will be laid before you. - " Other measures, partly called for by the wishes of the. ancient assemblies of the States, will be also submitted for your consideration. The Minister of State who presides over public assemblies, will communicate to you the results of the labours of the different branches of the Administra , ion. " Having replied to the provisions of the constitution with scrupulous good faith, I have a right to demand from all Saxons to act in the same manner. I particularly request you, Gentlemen of the States, to second me in the firm reso lution to maintain in the internal condition of the state a constitutional and regular course, in order that the name of Saxons may be universally respected and held in esteem, and that constitutions like ours may be regarded as the firmest ramparts against anarchy and disorder, and as a guarantee of the maintenance of the bond which unites the Prince and the people. The consolidation of this bond can alone secure the happiness of the people. Full of confi dence in you, I rely that that spirit of wisdom and pa triotism will direct your discussions ; the country will then regard with gratitude the labours of the Diet which is this day opened.' His Majesty and the Princes then retired, and M. de Konnerits, the Minister of State, made known to the assembly the different measures to which the King bad alluded. The Rev. W. F. Wingfield, said to be a relative of Mr. Ward, has announced his withdrawal from the ministry of the • Church of England.
