This undertaking, originally called the Newark and Sheffield Rail way, was, with its extensions, projected "with a view of affording a direct outlet from the greatest corn and cattle producing districts of England to the dense manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire ; and for tire coals, lime, building-stone, &c. &c., of the Chesterfield, Dronfield, Mlutsfield, and Pinxton coal-fields ; of which valuable minerals the wholeta,stent district is entirely desiitute." The Boston, Newark, and STM4llell Railway, carrying out fully these moat important objects, c,ommentorat — fhe seaport of Boston, passes by Sleaford, touching there the heal of the Sleaford Canal, and throngh the centre of the rich agricultural county of Lincoln, fro Ho-ghatn Mill, where it crosses and connects itself with the London and York Railway, by which it gives a direct route to Newark and Grantham. thence passing over the river Trent at Farndon, near Newark, it forms a junction with the Nottingham and Lincoln line, by which it opens a direct communication with Nottingham and Derby ; it then proceeds through the towns of S'outhwell, Farnsficld, and Mansfield, where it is joined by the existing railway from Pinx ton, and thence, by way of Bolsover, direct to the terminus at Shef field of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway. In the only petition by which the Newark and Sheffield line was opposed last session, it was alleged "that the railway is not called for by any public necessity ;" hut the overwhelming evidence of traffic then produced has compelled those who were parties to that allegation and opposition to admit publicly " that the district ought to ha sunplied with railway communication." The objection of the Duke of Devonshire that it interfered impro perly with his park at Hardwick-hall has been entirely obviated, as the line passes far to the north of that mansion. The only opposition to the railway being thus happily removed, no competing line having been sanctioned last session, and this Com pany alone being in occupation of the ground, it is the hope, and will ke the endeavour, of the Directors to go to Parliament with an un opposed Bill. The gradients will be materially improved, and it being admitted on all hands that railway accommodation is greatly wanted by the whole district, it is confidently anticipated that Parliament will sanction the construction of a line by that Company, who, possess ing strong local support, have, at great expense, surveyed the coun try, developed the traffic, and proved, to the satisfaction of even their opponents, that such an undertaking will be most beneficial to the public, and remunerative to the shareholders. No direct canal or other conveyance, beyond the ordinary turnpike roads, provides transit for the commodities of the district. The bulk of the cattle, and the agricultural produce of Lincolnshire, and the large quantities of flour and malt, made at and near the towns of Newark, Mansfield, &c., find their way at presentto a t l h so e markets in the west, chiefly b y circuitous water conveyance, and the cost and delay attending their transmission are enormous. The extensive cotton manufactorie s of Mansfield, Pleasley. &c., suffer from the same evils, In these respects the saving will ho very great to all, by the proposed railway communication. The farmer, the miller, and the maltster, by the removal of all uncertainty in the transit of their goods, can at at any time avail themselves promptly of the most favourable mirkets. In the conveyance of cattle, the benefits of a railway are shared by both dealers and consumers. To the town of Newark the saving in the price of coals will be 40 per cent., and the flour and malt sent thence toSancashire, &c., will be conveyed to market in a few hours, instead of seven or ten days as at present, and at less than half the cost. A friendly company has undertaken to make a Cro ilway fro ram Mansfield to Nottingham, with a branch to Clay ss, and the avidity with which the shares in that project have been taken up, chiefly by parties resident in the locali t y , pr oves tke great probable utility of the line, which proposes to run into a common station at Xansfield. A. glance at the map will show the following important advantages from these proposed combinations:- Ist. A direct communication, shorter than aay other existing or projected, between Boston, the grew' agricultural parts of Lin colnshire and Nottinghamshire, and the populous manufacturing towns of the west—Sheffield, Manchester, Budder-field, &c., &c., and also between these places and the town of Nottingham. Ud. The great coal fields of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire will be meat thoeengilly laid open to the markets of LincolnstAre and the Eastern Counties, 'tiles;—To the south of Mansfield, the Mansfield and Pinxton and Erewash Valley Railways • will develope the Portland, Pinxton, Swanwick , R iddin g s, Ruttetley, Shipley, Eastwood, and other collieries—to the West, the Clay Cross branch of the Nottingham and Mansfield Railway opens the Skegby, Tib ' shelf, Clay Cross, and Wingerworth Pits—and from the North, the Stavelo, DuCluri4nton, Sutton Scarsdale, and other extensive col -. r lierles, as we'l as Iron works, will be brought into the market ; thus secur►ng to the public that great desideratum, a wholesome competi tion in one of the chief necessaries of life. _ . 3d. The nearest point Of the coal field to Lincolnshire being thus opened, besides the great boon of supplying that county and the neighbouring districts with coals at a greatly reduced price a large export trade from the great shipping port of Boston may be reason ably ex; ecled ; ant in these respects no railway existing or projected holds out the prospects of similar advantages. 4th. While no other lint, approaches the coal field at so near a point to the eastward, and at the same time passes direct through the centre of an agricultaral county so rich and unoccupied, it also opens quarries of the most valuable building stone, lime, &c.—Mans field and Bolsover Moor—and thus brings Into direct communication those valuable minerals of which the whole district east and south e tst of Newark is destitute. Surveys of the whole line ire in a most forward state, and will be shown to any party interested. and wishing for information. A Map of the line will be published shortly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance and co-operation of those companies with whose lines of railway they communicate, and as the Poston, Newark and Sheffield line must prove a valuable feeder to them all, they hope that this appeal will not be deemed alto,tetlicr unworthy of attention. Holders of Newark and Sheffield and Extension Shares, will be entitled to an eiurd number of shares in the new Company, in ex chau.ze for thAr scrip, certificates or bankers' receipts, which must be sent immediately to the secretary, at Mansfield, accompanied by a form of application, which will be supplied by post to those who have not aiready nceived it. They, as Well as landowners an 4 others locally interested on the line, will receive a preference in the allotment of the additional shares. _ ... Parties who do not apply for an exchange of shares, before the first day of September next, will forfeit their right to them, and be held as having withdrawn from the undertaking. In order to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, which now require a deposit of ten per cent, instead of five per cent. as formerly, a further payment must he made of 11. 2s. 6d. on each share exchanged for an old; and on the additional shares a deposit of 2/. 12s. 641. each. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all futu•e calls, from the date of each payment till the opening of the whole line, or until a dividend be declared, and the liability of subscribers will be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited, without notice, should the holder thereof not sign the subscribers' agreement and parliamentary contract as soon as required. References will be required from all new applicants for shares, who are not known to some members of the Committee or to the solicitors. Mansfield. August 11, 1845.

BANKERS. The London Joint Stock Bank, London The Liverpool Borough Bank, Liverpool SOLICITOR.—W. Bevan, Esq., Old Jewry, SECRETARY (pro. tem.)—➢ir. George Upton, 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 ; and 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 =Minn, 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 napital 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 further 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. _ _ . _ Applications for Shares with reference to be made to the Secretary, at the °Mee of the Company, No. 6, Old Jewry.

Coke, Esq., Neath. 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, fire brick, dt iiical, and other works, already in operation and in course of bo opened, in the interior of South Wales, especially in the country ,ugh which this line will pass, and which are now being eaten :sively multiplied there, seek a more speedy and ready access to the main line than existing modes supply, aewl hence the necessity Ow 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 expediticuily 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 Wally, thence to Merthyr Tydvil, passing within a short distance of the extensive iron works Bing 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 traffic from the interior will descend—a consideration which is very important when we recollect that a great part of 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 uanecessary 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 time intercourse between the above towns is such as to bear out a most favourable estimate of passenger traffic; and that 209,000 tons or coal, exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the Vale 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 Hilton Ferry (the port of Wean') by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a cor responding increase of rroduction 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 sea bathing, and the strikingly picturesque Sid richly varied beauty of 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 landed proprietors along the line, the majority of whom are members of the Provisional Committee, the lessees of collieries, and parties engaged in shipping ; and its 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 3101. _ Prospectuses 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 l‘t rh. In the altolment of the shares of the Company, a preference will he given to parties locally interested, and to the Proprietors of Shares in the South Wales Railway Company. The usual power will he taken by the Act, to allow interest at 4 per cent, per annum on the amount of subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit of It. 10s. per share, until the Act is obtained, and then not be yond the amount of his subscription.

This railway is proposed to commence at Cambridge, to proceed in a direct line to Northampton, and take its course, by Fenny Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Alcester, to Worcester. By its junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway at Cam bridge, the London and York Railway near St. Neots, the Leicester end Bedford or South Midland and London and Birmingham Railways, near Northampton, the Oxford and Rugby and the proposed Oxford and Birmingham, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny Compton, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon- Avon, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton near Wor cester, and the proposed lines into Wales from that city; this rail way will connect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the impor tant towns of Yarmouth, Harwich, Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St. Ed mund's, Lynn, and Cambridge, with the towns and counties of Bed ford, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Banbury, Oxford, kathampton, Coventry, Leamington, Warwick, Birming ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Kiddermin ster, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Hereford, Somerset, South Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this railway will complete the chain of communication from the east to all parts of England. It will also be the most direct route from London to Warwick, Leamington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin ster, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting a very populous district entirely destitute of railway accommodation ; opening, too, a direct communication between extensive manufactur ing, mineral, and agricultural districts, and the best and largest coal fields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties. This line must not only be of great public and local advantage, but also insure traffic and passengers, and goods amply remunerative as an investment. The survey made proves the line to be easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway. Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the Soli citors, or to the following Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs. P. W.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) SUNDERLAND, Au c. 10.—The writ arrived on Saturday, and was proclaimed. The nomination is on Wednesday, and the election on Thursday. As usual, when the poll approaches, light has been got on the relative strength of parties, and the Liberals believe they have the more and better promises. The undeclared voters are comparatively not many, atid not of the class who, at Cambridge and elsewhere, are brought in at the last half hour of the poll. Besides this, between seven and eight thousand non-electors are eagerly canvassing for the Liberal side, and watching for the appearance of bribery. A thousand pounds have been offered to a leading member of the Liberal Committee, not by the Tories, but by railway specula tors, to let the Liberals be in a minority the first two hours of the poll. The intended result was stated to be, that 30,0001. would be made by the rise in railway shares, which would fall again if the Liberals were ultimately successful. A ludicrous, hut not unimportant, circumstance, has just occurred. The workmen in a Tory anchor manufactory, tatting literally the assertion of the Tory candidate, that cheap bread means low wages, and the contrary, have represented to their employers that bread has already risen four times, and, therefore, they test the truth of the Tory doctrine by striking for more wages. Odds are ofered in the public-houses that the Liberals win, and refused. . . . . The prospects •f the harvest incline men's minds to the side of the corn-law repeaters. Thu clergyman at St. Thomas's has just read the prayer against " a plague of rain and waters.' TINE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMING• HAM RAILWAY.—INQUEST ON Ma. DEAN. —The inquest on the body of the late Mr. Dean, who died in consequence of the injuries he bad received from the late collision on the Bir mingham Railway, at Camden-town, was resumed yesterday before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Chalk Farm Tavern. Medical evidence having been given as to the cause of death, Halse, a policeman in the service of the Company, described the nature of the accident. It appeared that the morning was so foggy that it was impossilde to see the signal sag, and the luggage-train was particularly long and heavy, an d did not reach Camden-town until three minutes after five, instead of fifteen minutes after feur, the hour at which it ought to have started from thence. There was considerable difficulty in ascertaining who was responsible for the proper starting of the luggage-train, and while inquiries were being pursued en that point, one of the jurymen was suddenly taken ill, in consequence of which the inquest was adjourned to Thursday, THE NEW RAILWAYS OF THE SESSION.—Now that the most eventful session of Parliament recorded in rail way history has reached its close we are enabled to announce, from our official returns, the following as the great results of its legislation. Parliament has sanctioned the construction of 2,090 miles of new railways in England and Scotland. an d of 560 miles in Ireland. This is in effect to t he doublfre land The extent of the railways of Great Britain, exclusive of r capital authorised to be raised in shares for this to 31,680,0001., exclusive of 6, 1• t o be applied I n England 800,0001. required inpose amounts for the Irish 000 lines, making in all 33,480, within the next two or three years for our own railways, The cost of the new railways per m ile will be t hus ofthe I very much less than that of existing lines. The avera g e new s nearly 5 see n co l f the old exceeds 30,000/ , per mile. n t he amount to b e prov i ded for i the new It e willr railwaysm as has been supposed from the number of Bills before Parliiment. A t t h e same I(itlehus a bn is not e n ot so enormous time it is s ufficiently large to require serious consideration, and to arrest the progress of reckle-s speculation. 10,000,001)/. a -year for the next three years can be easily spared by a na tion whose annual savings are calculated to exceed 50,000,0001. By an investment of these 30,0 40001. profitably the country will be enriched, and rou'titudes benefited both at present and permanently. At the some time the demand for money, when the calls for these works Como to be male, will be sufficient to put a check upon all idle and toolioh schemes, such as those against which we have warned our readers. The expected revenue from these new lines considerably exceeds 2,000,0001. sterling per annum.—Railway Chronicle, WINCHESTER, Arc. 9.—ln the Town•hall, on Wed nesday, the Secretary read a paper by J. G. Akerinan, on the mints of Winchester under the Anglo.Faxon and early English monarchs. Atter reading the paper, Mr. Smith observed, that he and some other members had just visited the reputed site of the ancient mint in St. Thomas's street, now the residence of Mr. Godwin ; the name of Godwin would be recognised as that of one of the ancient moneyers. In the cellars of this house, s Roman tesselated pavement had just been discovered. Mr. Halliwell read a very interesting communication respecting John Clapstone, a Winchester alchemist, temp. Henry VIII. Mr. Wright read a paper by Mr. Thompson, on the municipal archives of Leicester, and compared them with those of Winchester and Southampton. The meetii.g then adjourned to three o'clock, when the reading of the papers was resumed. Among those read, Mr. Wright's on the archives was, perhaps, the most important. In the evening Sir W. Betham took the chair, when the Rev. S. Isaacson read an account of some incised church :dabs in Darley Church, and Mr. Rosser gave some par ticulars respecting the richly decorated monumental slab in Brading Church. Mr. Haigh then gave a description of the churches in the vicinity of Winchester. and pointed out their architectural peculiarities. Headburn Worthy Church, founded by St. Wilfred, Mr. Haigh considered as one of the most interesting to the antiquary, as retain • ing many architectural evidences of its Saxon origin. The meeting then repaired to St. John's Rooms, where the president gave a soirée to the entire body of mem bers and visitors, as well as to some of the neighbouring gentry. The spacious apartrzents were well filled, and the band of the 55th, under the command of Colonel Schoedde, was in attendance, and during the evi nirg, while refreshments were being supplied, play ed several popular airs. The tables were completely covered with antiquities of various kinds, chiefly local, among which were some urns and other remains discovered near An dover, by the Rev. A. B. Hutchins ; Anglo-Saxon fibule, &c., from the Isle of Thanet, by sword, spears, Mr. Robe ; Roman inscriptions, &c., by Mr. Bell, of Newcastle; a MS. volume of drawings of pavements, altars, &c., discovered by Mr. Dukes, at Wroxeter ; coloured drawings of Roman tessellated pavements at IVestdean, Hants, at Northampton, at Bignor, Sussex, and at Bramdean, contributed by Messrs. Hatcher, Pretty, King, and Colonel and Miss Greenwood. Mr. Artis also forwarded for comparison drawings of some of those discovered by him at Castor. The walls were hung with rubbings of ornamental brasses from St. Cross, and other places in Hampshire, exhibited by Mr. Madden ; and from St. Albans and various loca lities, by Messrs. Rosser and Richardson. M r . Willi ams exhibited some beautiful drawings of places and object s of local interest. The Rev. A. B. Hutchins furnished some interesting objects of ancient art, taken from bar rows, in Wilts, and a superb gold ring, of large size and novel shape, discovered at Bossington, Hants ; it bore a design of a male filleted head, surrounded with the in scription, " Nomen Ahella Cho. III." On a.',eount of the extraordinary supply of papers, the e ,- )mmittee had resolved to postpone the reading of some, and to hold extra meetings for the d.scussion of othurs. On the present occasion. Mr. Smith gave the substance of his rapr on tesselated pavements in Mints to the com pany, and illustrated his remarks by the beautiful draw ings suspended on the wails, Other members superin tended and explained the objects in other departments, and the numerous assembly did not separate until a late hour. On Thursday the meeting divided into two sections. The one, under the superintendence of Messrs. Aebpitel, Bally, Rosser, &c., visited Romney Abbey Church (an account of which had been just published by Mr. Spence, and dedicated to the association.) The other and larger portion of the meeting, including the president, Mr-Buck ingham, Mr. Ainsworth (the travell.r), Mr. Ilariisen Ainsworth, Mr. M. F. Tupper, Mr P, ttigrew, S r J. Annesley, Sit F. Myers, Mr. Arden, Mr. Plan I.(a and a considerable number of !Ales, proceeded to Bit tern Manor House, the seat of Mrs. Stuart Hall, to exa mine the Roman antiquities discovered in the grounds which occupy the site of the station Clene en t eue Smith conducted the laige assembly to the altars, inscrip tions, and sculptures with which the walks of this se . questered and beautiful spot are tastefully ornamented. These remains show the importance of the locality in the time of the Romans. Dedicatiiins to at least eight Empe rors have been dug np, and a verb large sculieured stone, which had been used fer en itiserien over the gateway of come public building, was eharied and discussed by the members. Messrs. Haigh and Sioit;:, who arrived early in the day with a smaller number of visitors, examined the walls which protect the lower grounds from the high tides of the lichen, and discovered immense hewn stones, which had clearly been taken from extensive buildings, no doubt of a public character, and they also detected the remains of a Norman ecclt siastieal building. Among the dedicatory inscriptions, two to the Emperor Tetricus, found here, have been already published, one by Sir H. Englefield, the other by Mr. Smith. A third is now added to the list ; it is on a large columnar stone, four feet long. The members then were conducted to examine a large collection of coins, pottery, fragments of glass, &c. ; after which they partook of a cold collation, pro vided by order of the liberal and kind-heart e d Mrs. Stu art Hall. Netley Abbey was next visited, Mr. Guillaume, the architect, walking round with one party, and Mr. Haigh a ith the other. These gentlemen, in extempora neous lectures, explained the various architectural pecu liarities of the building, and Mr. Haigh gave a highly interesting, though necessarily rapid sketch, of the his tory of Cistercian moaasteries arid their domestic habits and customs, which, being illustrated in the heart of one of the chief establishments of this order of monks, still well preserved, afforded a high intellectual treat to all who had the good fortune to hear the lecturer's lucid exposition. The company expressed their great satisfac tion at finding this beautiful ruin is now in good hands. Mr. George Hunt, the lessee, a metnber of the associa tion, takes the highest interest in its preservation, and has adopted measures to check the spoliation to N% bieh was subjected before it came into his possession. In the evening papers were read in the Town-hall, the most important of %Mai were one by Mr. Shipp, of Blandford, on a Roman villa, &0., (hoovered by him and Messrs. Hall and Warne, at Tarrant Hinton, and one by the Rev. Basile Post, on the war of Vespesian against the Belgee. The zeal and energy of the archaeologists were not overcome by this severe trial of their physical powers. At nine, rem., they attended a sob ie given by Mr. Hughes, a gentleman whose taste for the fine arts, and urbanity in throwing open his museum to the ama teur are well known, and were never better appreciated than on the present oceasion, Four rooms, hung a ith pictures of the first order, and of historical interest, were stored with exhibitions of weapons, works of an cient art, statues, bronz s, coins, and an unrivalled col lection of MSS. of the time of the civil war and CORI.. monwoalth. Of these unpublished historical documents Mr. Wright read a portion to the company, who ex pressed a wish that Mr. Hughes would permit an abstract or catalogue of the MSS. (40 volumes !) to be published by the association. It is impossible to: give, in our limited space, even a list of the objects exhibited, but we cannot refrain faun drawing attention to a gerget of chain mail of the early part of the fifteenth century, in the finest preservation, which was the subject of some remarks by Sir S. R. Meyrick. Oa Friday morning, at ten, an extra meeting was held in the County Hall, when Mr. Smith read a paper, by A. J. Kempe, Esq.. F.S.A., on Arthur's Round Table, which was fixed on the wail before the audience. The legendary stories of this questioned personage were discussed, together with the bards of former times, tournaments, and the institution cf round tables by Ed ward 111. The table now preserved in this hall has clearly been painted in the time of Henry Vi., who, as Mr. Planchet observed, was studious to identify himself as a legitimate descendant of the ancient kings, there tore he named his son Arthur, and lest no opportunity of a sociating himself with every cherished tradition that reflected honour or glory on the country. The table itself was supposed by Mr. Kempe to be of the time of Stephen or Edward 111. Mr. Warne then de livered a well digested report on the general character of barrow interments in the county of Dorset, giving, at the same time, observations on the true end of anti quarian research, and its importance as contributing to the history of our country and ourselves, in contra distinction to the mere childish pursuit of collecting objects of antiquity, without making them subservient to any useful end ; and ho drew a strong and striking comparison between the man who gets and hoards up for selfish vanity, and he who preserves and renders available to science and art the rich and instructive re mains of past ages and generations. Three more meetings were held on the same day in the Town-hall, at the last of which Mr. Brae' field laid before the association an account of the chief discoveries made during the last few years at Winchester, and ex hibited Roman urns, coil's, bronzes, &u. A soii4e ter minated the day's proceedings. This day (Saturday) there ems a general meeting at the Town-had, Sir W. Betlam in the chair, when a re view of the week's proceedings was taken, and thanks voted to the Mayor, to Colonel Greenwood, of Brook mead Park; to Mr. Stuart H a ll, t o M r . G eorg e Hunt, to Mr. Pultenay, the Duke of Rutland, and others, for aiding the objects of the association, and to the presi dent, officers, and m em b ers w h o bad contributed papers and exhibitions.

MAIL COACH ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morn ing last, the north mail coach was upset near the Haleworthy Inn, between Camelford and Launceston, in consequence of the chain connected with the pole giving way. The coach war heavily laden, and several of the passengers were much bruised, but after about two hours' delay, they moved on to Launceston, where two of them remained being unable to proceed farther. —Devonport Independent. RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Bread has re cently risen in price no less than 1 d. in the quartern loaf—a. serious difference to the poor. It is proper to remind i.ufferers that about 300,000 quarters of foreign wheat, and 200,000 quarters of foreign tour are now in this country in bond, but are kept out of the market by the duty of 20s. per quarter...-.
