The objects of the Midland and Thlrsk Junction Railway are three fold; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly, to make a Trunk Line of communication from South to North, between the Midland and the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with the Midland at Oakenshaw, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at er near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley, and theLeedi anti Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely Populated and Important manufacturing district through which the line Is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country. The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them; it is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for. The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work ing in the Howden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on the intended line of railway) Is about 6,000 tons per week, and when the railway now projected Is formed, it is believed that the average supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres, and averaging twenty feet In thickness (of workable coal) se unli mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will b e available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews bury, Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knarcsborough, Ripon, &c., &c., where in moat cases the reduction will be at least one-half, and In the more distant places much more than this amount of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and cheap coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised from this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample return for the capital required. Besides passing through the centre of this immense coal field, the railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a populat'on of upwards of 33:1,000 Inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom modation to this vast population, whose internal traffic must neces sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for Inter nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un rivalled. This :line affords the most direct communication from North to South, and will be a nearer route ham Huddensfickl, Wakefield, Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South, to that much frequented vraterin.,-place, Harrogate, and will form a most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver therm Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsoy, Stanningley, Calverley, and Iloreforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen miles, an 4 the branches six miles. The project is warmly supported by the landed and local Interests, and by a large body of morcamile and wealthy individuals in the above districts, who, confident of a successtld issue, will use every means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session. The Company reserve the power of making p o int for t from their Line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey another Company ance of the minerals, &e., if adeq ua t e provision be not made by . The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to the amount of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is Obtained. Further information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds or Bradford, and applications for shams may be adiressed to them in the form subjoined.

By this railway the most direct channel of communication via Di eppe or Ilavre, with Paris, the whole of Central Europe, and the Mediterranean, will be effected. By the junction of this line with the Portsmouth Atmospheric Rail way at or near Guildford, the very important port and arsenal of Portsmouth will be placed in direct communication with Rirming ham and the whole of the manufacturing districts. The communication between the important districts accommo dated by this lin: , ' is now carried on by a very circuitous route, sub jecting it to great delay, which will be entirely avoided ; and this line of direct communication between termini of the utmost importance, without change of carriage between Birmingham and Brighton, and its consequent expense and loss of time, will also afford great local accommodation to the fertile, populous, and wealthy districts which are traversed by it. To Iterkshlre, Surrey, and Sussex, to which sea-borne coal Is now imported at great coast, and with much uncertainty, Staffordshire and Warwickshire coal may be conveyed by this railway at a great reduction inprice. The products of the manufacturing districts will, by this line, find the most direct communication with Paris and central Europe ; and the interchange of stone, lime, ties, cattle, wool, grain, malt, and hops, and all the produce of the districts traversed by this hue, will be greatly facilitated. The intercourse already existing between the proposed termini of this line is very considerable, notwithstanding. the circuitous and necessarily expensive route ; but considerable as it is, it must be evident that such intercourse, whether for business or pleasure, will be greatly promoted by the construction of this direct railway com munication. There can be no doubt, that important as this line will be found as a channel for the train:, between the termini, it will derive a great profit from the traffic of the Northern and Midland Counties, and the Continent, whilst the railways converging at binninghatn, those lines which this will intersect, and the new lines now constracting along the coast, will afford communication with the entire of Eng land.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the Capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions r.of the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of New South Wales, as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion. To the population: along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares In this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription. .. 4% •• 51 Distanceby proposed from Birmingha mpropd w a rau to Brighton B l 3 7 34 ~ Saving of distance on the Journey time, e from BirßirminghamSaving of uun to Brighton 30 sive of the time lostxst between the arrival and departure of the A preliminary survey of th e li ne has trains in Lond on •• 4 been mad highly favourable to the const ruc ti on of this line e, and found to be , without any engi steering difficulty, and at a moder a t e cost.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejesteMPdr j llinne.eotllne , uortthet e ellitilren'the ireat area of Devonshire west of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti tute of railway accommodation. The object of the present undertaking Is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway communication fur the whole of this Western Peniu sale ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly co eplained of, the leading and indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the " London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the "Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was this Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords, in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to coin plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving in actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of lane in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient e , ectric telegraph, can hardly be over -rated. The central district from Exeter, Westward, has been recently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without engizeering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being sear or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Ta w t on , Okehampton, Launces ton, Camelford Bodmin, St. Coiumb, Sr. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an 'extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, liedruth Camborne, Hoyle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marazion, and Per =nee. This extension runs for more than 30 miles th - ough the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate company would be produclive of unnecessary expense and IDCOUVellielleC to the public, the lint to Penzance, as well as to Faluacuth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Trt.ro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China rimy district to St. Austen, and its populous mining neighbourhood. It will als avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from &A min to Watlebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur ef establishing a traffic with the well-known Del:thole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Butle Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will forum the subject ef most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Ilamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now raider consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk., on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the Importance of this Comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—lts population, amounli-g to more thou 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—lts probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies, —were fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably he expected from a well-digested system of Branches and when tha further Increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing FAlmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and l'enzance, with its much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county cf Cornwall this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the Investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : the numerous and s t rong assurances ofsupport already received from the landowners and general interests along the line; and the hearty concurrence e namesea leave nof whose doubt a and c o members -operation appear o t n f tht the e A r s r sg l i s a i t e e n d a (l l o e m e p nt all i e t s t , e e t h , of the successful issue of tike application which will be made to Par liament in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions, and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee reserve ;to themselves the power of Making 511C11 alterath2l34 is the Alalli Lino, or franc is, owl also of entering into such arrangements for the construction of those Branches, by .Anziliary Companies, as may be deemed advisable.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT THE BRISTOL AND DOVOR DIRECT JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, connecting Bristol, Wales, and the Important Western and North-western Districts, with Kent and France. Capital 800,0001., in 32,000 Shares of 251. each. (Provisionally Registered.) Deposit 21. 15s. per Share. (In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords.) This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct commtuti cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It will then pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and giving a communication to the populous and important towns of Lud genital!, Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke (where the Southampton Railway has a station), Odikani, and Farnham to Godalming. Here it will form a janction with other lines, which will complete the communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dovor Rail way; or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the Brighton Railway is united with the Dover. From a consideration of this route, and by a glance at the map, it will at once be seen that this project will place in immediate cou nexion the mineral and great coal districts of Wales—the vast traffic that empties itself into Bristol from the Birmingham branch line via Gloucester—the West of England cloth districts—the immense pro ductions of the north—together with the commercial traffic with Ireland (now so much on the increase), with the important towns and hop districts of central Kent and its eastern coasts, Canterbury, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Ashford, Folkestone, and Dovor, &c. ; open ing at the same time a direct road to Calais, Paris, Boulogne, and Dieppe, shorter than any now formed or projected, and with less sea voyaging, thus forming the great passenger route from Ireland and Wales t o France. Independently, however, of the great through traffic above alluded to, the local trade between the various towns on the intended line is certainly of considerable importance and sufficient in itself to yield an ample return to the Shareholders. At Devizes centres the great western cloth trade ; and when the railway communication to Melks ham and thence to Bath and Bristol is completed, a continuous stream both of passengers and goods must pour into that town, from whence the only channel for their due transmis ion eastwards will be afforded by the railroad now contemplated. The Importance of affording a direct and speedy transit for the communications between the western parts of this country , and the Continent must be obvious ; and when th e l arge num ber of railways now in progress, both in France an d I re l and, towards their respective coasts, aro completed, this current of through traffic must be increased to an incalculable extent, between the above countries. The increasing trade and accom modation afforded at the ports of Dovor and Folkestone point out this line as pre-eminently adapted for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise destined for the Continent, especially to those by whom the shortness of the voyage by sea is considered as a preliminary to an excursion in France. Without entering into official details, it may be well to observe that the number of passengers em- .„... barking and disembarking annually at Folkestone and Dovor is of surprising extent ; whilst the traffic in merchandise since the opening of the railways from the metropolis, and the establishment of re gular passage vessels with the French coast, has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the great merchant traders. It is but rea sonable, therefore, to calculate, that when an equal facility is afforded fur Bristol (that long-established depot for the Irish and Welsh trade), and the important districts at present obliged either to com municate with Dovor and Folkestone by a circuitous route, or to ab stain entirely from the benefits of foreign trade, on account of the want of direct access, that the commercial interests of the Kentish coast will be immeasurably increased, anl a stimulus at the same time will be given to the western trade by a ready and reciprocal in tercourse with the Continent. In addition to the existing advantages which have thus been al ready alluded to in this prospectus, it should always be remembered that it is not to these only that speculators are entitled to look in cal culating on the profits of such an enterprise, but that they are in all cases fully justified in assuming a vast increase in the local traffic when the facilities for it shall be so greatly increased ; it haying been invariably found that, upon the completion of a railroad, commerce and passengers have sprung up to use it to an extent never contem plated by Its most sanguine promoters ; and not only has this taken place from towns already existent, but new neighbourhoods of im portance have arisen in the vicinity, thus showing that railways not only afford the medium of communication for previously established marts of trade, but have themselves the faculty of creating, when ever they pass, towns and markets for ther own support and the en richment of their enterprising proprietors. This line, which is intended to sup; ly an important link in rail way communication hitherto overlooked, has no competing scheme either existent or projected with which to come in collision ; and from the inspection which has been made, the road is considered free from any great engineering difficulties, while, from the favourable sentiments of the landed proprietary on the route towards it, no opposition on their part need be anticipated. Active negotiations are on foot for the co-operation of the powerful companies affected by this projection, from which the most beneficial results are confi dently anticipated. A prospectus, containing the names of a powerful Committee and the officers, will be ready in a few days ; and in the mean time fur ther particulars may be obtained and applications for shares received at the temporary offices, 6, Liverpool-street, liroad-strea.r.

The Craven Banking Company, at Settle, Skipton, Burnley, Clitheroe, Colne, and Keighley has long been considered strange, but such is the fact, that in the large and important districts of North Lancashire and Craven, which may be termed provinces, or almost counties, in themselves, no public Fire nod Life Assurance Company has yet been established, although comprising property of every description of hazard to an al most incalculable amount. It is therefore proposed to found a Society or Company, to b e called the NORTH LANCASHIRE and CRAVEN ASBURANCE COMPANY, under the prow 'ions of the above Act, which will give to the public all the benefits of a mutual Assurance Company, and secure to the Shareholders a reasonable amount of profit. The Company will be organised, and its rules and regulations de fined, by a deed of settlement, to be made pursuant to the Act re ferred to, and proper measures will be taken for the purpose of effec tually restricting the liability of each Shareholder to the amount of his or her subscriptions respectively. By the Act above referred to for the registration of Insurance Com panies not more than ten shillings per cent. is allowed to be celled for until the full registration of the Company ; consequently a deposit of five shillings per share only will be called for on the allotment. It is probable that not more than 51. per cent. on the amount of each share will be called for, which experience in similar under takings has shown to be abundantly sufficient in the outset, the re mainder of the subscribed capital being intended only as a guarantee, in extraordinary exigencies. -41,11 :sons for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, or to Henry Alcock, Esq., Solicitor, Skipton ; or to the following Brokers :—Mr. John Gibbins, Settle; Mr. Thomas Boardman, Blackburn; Mr. Thomas Wren, Preston; Mr. Welch, Lancaster; Mews.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land. !s well known to all persons cmaversant with the island of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and Kingston occupies forty-four houre, and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger ; while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at au expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that, Independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the ad vantage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour o Kingston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious 'quay, to 'oe constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed hi the export trade of the island, at or near which point it is proposed to form a junction with the Kingston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevatioes, almost parallel to the principal range ef mountains I which run east and west, nearly thelength of the Island ; the east ' ern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple articles of sugar, coffee, ruin, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye woods, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still un cultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, kc., and dye stuffs, at present uninsported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously : there are mahogany, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricul tural and household purposes and cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the wintry on the line is very considerable; lead ore is extremely rich, and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it high:y probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* ne cessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the anappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly; the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construction of the line will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports and the internal traffic a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given. It will be sufficient to state that coals, fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops, lead, timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and manufac turas generAly, form important sources of profit. e mcitera t rlt i :e 'w re The working expenses of the railway will require but a mouse - t i u ld rn it° u (i p b o t n th t et this capital lino re quired, , te i r o c v eT y ta w g i e l 1 , y a l td id fr a o e ry all t r b e and the speedy communication established between the Island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Pa ket Com pany, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control orer the management of affairs in the Island.

HEROIC CONDUCT ON A RAILWAY.—Last Thursday one of the most pro►idential escapes, as regards human life, occurred on the rail .vay connected with the Bishopwearmouth iron works. The iron works in question extend over a wait extent of country, and, for the purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other, railways have been established, one of which is formed on an in clined plane, down which the heavily laden waggons are propelled at a fearful rate. On the morning of the above day, while one of the trains of waggons was passing down, two very old women, each being nearly seventy years of age, labouring under de fective sight sight as well as hearing, got on the line. A few seconds more they both must have inevitably been crushed to death. Their perilous situation was, however, witnessed by Mr. David Holsgrove, the overlooker of the works, who in an instant dashed forward and seized the two females, whom he threw off the line, and out of the way of danger. Unfortunately the engine at this instant came up, which knocked Mr. Holsgrove down, and he was picked up as dead. He was instantly conveyed to one of the buildings in the vicinity, and medical aid was sent for, when, upon examination, it was discovered that he had sustained several con tusions about the head, that both his arms were broken in two places, and also one of his legs, besides other injuries about the body. It is supposed that some part of the train must have gone over the limbs. Although so severely and dangerously injured, hopes are entertained of his recovery. The two females escaped without the slightest injury. NEW RAILWAY PAPER.

J. Carttar, Esq., on the body of a young female, named Mary Anne Robson, aged only nineteen, the daughter of one of the master shipwrights in the dockyard at Deptford, who committed suicide by throwing herself into the Surrey Canal on Thursday night. Mary Lake, the wife of a master smith in the dockyard, deposed that in consequence of the indisposition of the mother of the deceased, witness and her hus band went to lodge in the house of Mr. Robson. She had known the deceased for some months previously, and had only gone to live there after the deceased ran away from home about two months since. The deceased was a virtuous girl up to the time of her leaving her home, to which she returned about a fortnight since, after an absence of fire weeks. A girt named Emily Skinner, who was frequently with the de ceased, left her home with her, and they had lived together with a young man, named Jones. Witness last saw deceased alive about six o'clock on Thursday, the day of her death. Since her return home, the deceased appeared much depressed in spirits. Emma Brown deposed that on Thursday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, she heard the splash of something heavy in the water. On hearing the splashing, witness went out and saw some person plunging about in the water; also heard the person moan heavily two or three times. Witness instantly raised an alarm, when several persons came to her assistance ; in the meantime, witness got a prop, but it was not of sufficient length t i each the deceased. Witness found the bonnet, shawl, gloves, an.i locket-handkerchief of the deceased close by her door. The dtteased was in the water about ten minutes. Emily Skinner, the young woman alluded to above, said she and deceased left home together, and went to reside in a common brothel in Fairy's-buildit gr, Bermondsey. They were taken there by a young womar whom they met at :the St. Helena Tea-gardens at Rotherhithe. Whilst at the brothel was visited by a young mar , named Jones. On one occasion witness heard deceased threat::_ to make away with herself, but afterwards said she was only kaking. Upon being closely questioned by the Coroner, the witscss admitted having said, " Has she gone and done it? Oh! v.../ God, I must go and tell him, or else he will get into trouble and me too," but she would not give any explana tion. This ri ness gave her evidence with great nonchalance. The Coroner saiu there was no doubt remorse, arising from the course of life she had been leading, had rendered her unhappy, and had led to this disastrous end. TI e jury returned a verdict of Tem porary insanity." It was but a vain h o p e , i t seems, that we expresser: ARRIVAL or Two LIONS.—Two of the finest lions about six or seven weeks ago, in commenting upon the ever imported into this country have arrived within the last few I great Orango demonstration, as it was called, which had days, on board the J.,h.s Bartlett, Captain Bartlett.

The well•conditioned subjects of the two Sovereigns will feel gratified by these friendly in terviews, for after all, even in countries governed by Parliaments and constitutional laws, the chief magis trate has vast power, and many opportunities of swaying directly or indirectly the minds of those over whom be is placed. Tho example of persons in high life is in time imitated by their inferiors : the warm friendship therefore which ex ists between the Royal Families of Great Britain and France, it may be anticipated, will extend its in fluence to other classes, and wear off those absurd and bigotted national prejudices which are the bane of civilized nations as well as barbarians. The QUEEN of these realms, to her credit, led the way some two years ago ; she landed on the French coast with little more ceremony than that observed by pri vate individuals, and by her simplicity of manners, her affable deportment, and the confidence which she placed in the honour and hospitality of our gallant neighbours, made a deep and friendly impression on the public mind of France. But Louis PHILIPPE is not less entitled to praise —perhaps he has the greatest merit—for a large portion of his people look but coldly on English alliance, and not a few of them consider that France has many grievances to be removed a nd many comp l a i nts to urge against the policy generally pursued by the English Ca binet. Aware, however, that such complaints were not well founded, he put every objection on this score aside, and gave a reception to her Britannic MAJESTY, which could leave no doubt among Frenchmen that his heart was engaged in the cause, and that it was one of the great objects of his lol:g and varied life to establish unity between two nations which have such vast in fluence in the government of the world. The present visit is one of a similar character.
