London, This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Iffalsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster. The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local tragle abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the Important towns on the termini is effected over any existing er pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck alterations In the line, or the amount of capital required, or other wiSe, as may be deemed most advantageous to the Interests . :the Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only.

PRELIMINARY NOTICE. Amongst the numerous projects recently brought forward for con• necting important towns and districts in England by means of rail ways, no direct line of communication from Exeter to Tavistock, and thence to Bodmin, has attracted the attention of the public. The South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth and Devonport, and the Cornwall Railway, proceeding from those ports, but not approach ing Bodmin within several miles, afford a very sinuous, inconvenient, and imperfect route betuusemiseinietwerterrninal points of the proposed' line, the latter of which is stilt unsupplied with any immediate rail way facility. The Bideford and. Tavistock Railway—now in projec tion—assisted by the Eicter and Creditor Itaaway, will supply in like manner a very circuitous course of communication between Exeter and Xavistock ; but all these lines leave the midland' districts and several important towns and villages • totally vokl of railway conveniences. , • ~ . • • The proposed xeYer, Tavistock, and Bodrnin Railway, however, commencing at the City of Exeter, proceeding by or near to2lore ton-Harnpstead,- and..thiowtnr„ *Out a brattOli to . .Ashburton in its course across the Forest of Dartmoor, will pursue' a direbt Rite to the Parliainerktary borough of- Tavistock ; and, passing bY or near Cal lington and Liskeard,, will terminate at. , Bothnia, thus-providing al direct chantiel of intercourse in a line net exceeding tifty,six • miles in length 2ietWe:6n the two te;ini . nal places, finMplling the inter vening towns' and ,- villag'es`witlf the' means 'of immediate transit to Exeter in the east and Bodtnin in the west, and - CYtetatling from those gapes to all parts - of ,gngland. - • The existing railway front Ilodmin to i'Vadebridge will complete .the line to the coast of Cornwall, in the, Bristol Channel. : Thus from' Exetpr to Bodniin, with Alie p'roposed, branch to _Ashburton, will unite the whole of the mid'and districts' of Devonshire and Cornwall,' comprising a tract of country occu pied by a large population, and unrivalled for agricultural produce and mineral wealth. A. prospectus and a map of.the line are in course of preparation, and, with the names of a powerful Provisional Committee, will shortly be published. In the interval, further information may be obtained from Messrs. Phillips and Son, No. 28, Lawrence Pountney lane, solicitors to the undertaking ; and at the offices of the Com pany, No. 37, Gresham-street, where application for shares may be made.. 1117 NICORN INN, ST.

" That, in furtherance of these. objects, a subscription be iinniediately entered into ; and the co-operation of reformers generally in the British empire isfrequested." Our distinguished countryman,'Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., had the honour to proside at the.public meeting where there resolutions were carried, which was held at the Crown and Anchor, London, on the 20tli of February, 1837. Lord Holland became a sub,cribe only a few days afterwards, and we tape great pleasure in transcribing the celebrated letter of that nobleman, addressed to Mr. flume, inclosing his sub scripti.in in aid of the contemplated inn - lament. Without referenCe to the animadversions of Sir James Gibson Craig, let Lord Holland be heard in his own words . " South-stre?t, March 7, 1837. " Dcu•Sir,—l send you my subscription to the monuments intended to he erected to the memory of five persons who wert , , the victims of an iniquitous sentence in Scotland, in 1793 and '1794. I do so because it seems to me an unex ceptionable method and a fit opportnnity of recording the disgust—and abhorrence which I have always felt at thce - e proceedings, and at " the expedioncy of transporting men among common felons fur political offences," which, as Mr. Fox justly observed, was then for the first time invented. "If such perversion of law, or such harsh and vindictive exercise of its powers must remain—and I fear they must—a stain upon our annals, it is surely right that the feelings of indignation they excited in well-regulated minds, and which have been confirmed by deliberate reflection, should also be perpetuated. Such I conceive to be the object—such I hope will be the effect—of the monument yon propose, and I there fore feel a pleasure in offering my contribution to the plan. " The moment seems f , rtunaiely chosen ; the Legislature is actuallyainployzd on this very day in repealing the bar barous pu meet for leasing making, which was so harshly inflicted on these unfortunate men, and the country is every day enjoying in the labours of Parliament and the improve ment of its laws, the benefit of that reform which they were persecuted 'for recommending and promoting.—l am, Sir, with great regard, your obedient and obliged, (Signed) "VASSAL HOLLAND."

The price of wheat is quite as dear in Warsaw as at Dantzic, and the price of rye 30 to 31 1 / 2 florins per kor zec, equal to 450 to 472 florins per last, equal to 425. to 435. per quarter English measure and money. Some few ship ments are still making at Dantzic for account of proprietors who are not satisfied with advanced prices, and 15,000 to 20,000 quarters are about to be shipped on consignment before the winter closes the navigation for the sea son. The lower Baltic markets present no change of importance ; the principal collectors seem to have fixed 50s. as the • price, which they are willing to pay for wheat to hold over till the spring. The Mediter ranean markets continue in a state of excitement and confusion; we are informed that some cargoes of wheat at Leghorn, loaded for England, have been re-landed—the price of 535. there is the price-which is paying here for the same wheat in bond. The Odessa market was again rather dearer, and 50,000 chetwerts changed hands principally to Italian houses at one and a half rouble per chetwert ad vance, or 2s. per quarter; still the quoted price of 23 roubles is too low a rate to be maintained when the Italian news arrives, and the orders from England are received, of which the Russian proprietors were ignorant on the 20th ult., but of which the Italians and others in the Mediterranean were duly informed on the 31st ult, We expect, in the course of 14 days, to hear of an important rise of prices at 1 1 Odessa. In the Danube the rates still continue moderate, but ships are almost wholly wanting, and money is exceed ingly scarce. As far as the present season is concerned it is much too late to look to the Danube for a supply, as no ships can reach there till the spring. We estimate that the fan' vessels near the river, and those ordered from Constanti nople, may get away 50,000 to 60,000 quarters of all grain before the year closes, the greater part of which is Indian corn for Italian account, and about 20,000 quarters of wheat for Great Britain, which has a chance of getting away. DISCOVERY OF A NEW DIA.LKOND MINE TN (From the Journal des Woo s .) We here received from Rio UP •Jatteiro a letter, which gives some curious details Nlative to the working of a new diamond mine recently discovered in Brazil. For some months past the communications and commercial inter course witb the province of Bahia have been eyitraordinarily brisk. A .large nurder of inhabitants, speculat ws, adven- Were, and even snigar planters, are emigrating with their slaves to the province of Bahia, where is situate an immense diamond mine, the prkiduce of which is incredible. It was discovered in October, 1844, by a slave, who in 20 days had gathered 700 carats f diamonds, and parried them a consi derable distance for pip, jo.restal and Imprisoned, the slave obstinateiy refused to disclose the locus in quo. They therpfore let him loose, and put a number of intelligent In dians upon his " trail." The latter pursued him for several days, and found him working for the extraction of the dia monds not far from Caxneira - , the second city of Bahia. Inyestigatiens Were then made on a large scale along a chain of mountains called Sincura, which have given the name to this mine, and on the banks of the river karApa;su, which falls into the bay of Bahia. The first nerson,e - ikhe established themselves at the mine of Sincura \vOre chiefly convicts and murderers. They made known their presence by fires and assassinations. The difficulty of subsisting in the country, and the danger to which those were eNpo,sed who proceeded thither to ex change diamonds for the paper-money of Brazil ,prevented honourable merchants from entering into the trade. By degrees, however, when* the population had become more numerous, a system of police was established by the new colonists, and. the mina was then worked upon a much larger and more extensive scale. The population, which only amounted in August, 1844, to 8,000 souls, distributed over three villages, was, at the end of July, upwards of 30,000, and on the increase. The villages at present inha bited and cultivated are seven in number, and are named— Paraguassu, cenahuoas, Chiquechique, Causu-Boa Andrahv, Nage, and Lancod . The last-named village, which is 20 leagues distant from Paraguassu, contains alone 3,000 fami lies and 20,000 inhabitants. The central point of the diamond trade is Paraguassu, which, although sufficiently peopled, has only at present twelve small houses of brick. Almost all the minerp go thither on Saturdays and Sundays to sell the stones they have picked up during the week. They receive in exchange different articles of consumption, arms, and ap parel, which are brought thither at a great expense from Bahia. The diamonds extracted from Paraguassu are, gene rally speaking, of a brown colour, and of a very irregular formation, White and light green, almost transparent on their first oxtraction from the mine, distinguish those of Lancod. They are of an octahedal form, and are the most in request. It is often requisite to dig three or four metres in order to reach the cascaills or layer of the diamonds. Diamonds are also discovered in the rocky ravines at the bottom of the Paraguessau itself, and the streams which fall into it. _ The price of these diamonds varies, at Bahia, from 250 to 500 milreis per octave (670 f. to 1,340 f.), according to their fineness and size. The octave is 171 carats; but the Brazi lian carat is 7i per cent. less than the French, which makes the Brazilian carat about 67f. to 134 f. _ _ The present course of exchange at Bahia is 365 reis for 1 franc. The two English steamers of May and June brought about 5,500,000 francs' worth of diamonds from this mine. During the months of June and July the mine yielded nearly 1,450 carats per day. It is estimated to have pro duced, during the six months of its working, nearly 400,000 Portuguese carats (about 18,300,0000, of which three-fifths were sent to England, another fifth to France and Ham burgh,- whilst the last fifth awaits buyers at Rio de Janeiro and Bahia. _ _ Not all the lapidaries in Europe would be sufficient to po lish only one-half of the produce of the Sincura mine; thus a depreciation of that value is expected, which gives rise to the most hazardous speculations. Brazil, which has the privilege of supplying the trade with diamonds, did not produce annually, before the discovery of the Sincura mine, more than six or seven kilogrammes, which cost more than a million for the expenses of working; Ow the price, even in the rough state, has always been very high. Hitherto, no very large diamonds have been found at Sincura. There are very few in the world weighing more ' than 20 grammes. The largest diamond is that of Agra, weighißg 133 grammes ; that of the Raja of Matan, in Bor neo, weighs 78 grammes; that of the Great Mogul, 63 grammes ; and that of France, called the " Regent," 28 grammes 89 centigrammes; but it is of a very pretty shape and perfect in every respect. Before being polished it weighed 87 grammes, and cost two years' labour. The mine of Sincura presents the spectacle of an indepen dent colony in the bosom of the mother country. Hitherto the Government has taken no steps to possess itself of the direction of this trade, which promies to be so abundant a source of wealth to Bahia, and it will be perhaps induced to sanction the regulations formed by the inhabitants them selves for the working of the mine, which already covers a superfices of more than 30 leagues. LANGPORT.—A few weeks since was found, in the stomach of a bullock, slaughtered by Messrs. Podger and Barnard, butchers,. of Langport, a gold chain, about one yard long. The chain is not in the slightest degree tarnished, but when found it was coiled up about half way. The bullock was bred by William Woods, Esq . of Staplegrove, near Taunton, and grazed by the lateV. Stuckey, Esq., of Langport. —Sherborne Journal.

An offender is now in the hands of justice, whose his tory presents a series of acts of address in wrong-doing which have been rarely paralleled. This delinquent, by, name Rioustel, was barn of respectable parents, and received a good education. He was placed as .a clerk in a mer chant's house, in the Rue St. Denis, and was conducting himself with perfect satisfactien to his employer, when he was drawn fur a soldier, and being unable to purchase a substitute, was sent to join the 2(..%11 regi ment. Disgusted with the hardships and restraint of a soldier's life, he deserted. Not darirg 'to assume his old station in society, and becoming destitute. he coin- Mitted a fbrrerv, mid being detected, was condemned to im primment for live years, at Megan. Discharged in the year 1832, he was at the end of that year recognised by the po!ice as a deserter, tried by a court-martial, and sentenced to hard labour in the island of Oleran for seven years. After remain ing there two veers, he effected his escape, and remained at liberty till 1542, when he was once more arrested for a rob bery, which he was driven to commit from not being able to tied any honest made of earning a livelihood. He was once more condemned to five years' incarceration, which, how ever,-he endured only two months, when he again escaped. A second nufartunate chance placed him be fore the military auth who sent him to the pris,, , n of the Abbaye, in Paris. there, after a tittle time, he feigned illness with such .etiect that he was removed to the hospital of the Val de Grace. On entering this establishment his first and only thought was how to get away from it. His malady seemed to increase, until he took to his bed, and pre ' tended that he was assured he should never leave the house alive. By his mild and apparently resigned manners maid conduct he gained the favour and confidence of the person in charge Of the infirmary, who used to sit up nith him. On the 22d of govember, 1843, he accomplished another evasion in the fallowing way :-41aving, by means hitherto undiscovered, procured and concealed in his bed a bottle of brandy, he seduced his friend the keeper to drink so much of it that he became dead drunk. In this state Rioustel took off the man's upper garments, and clothed himself with them, laying their owner in his own place in bed. Then assuming the gait and ap pearance of the deluded keeper, he walked unmolested out of the hospital, and was no more heard of until Friday last, when he was arrested on coining out of a jeweller's shop in the Rue de Clery, on a charge of having stolen a back-note for I,ooof. from M. Those, director of the Government Granary at La Villette. Since he has this last time been in custody, whether from conviction that his case had become hopeless, or from bravado, he has been very com municative, and given the depila_ of his whole _career., additioh , to' the , ' bov'e; he has avowed himself to be. tk, person who,l , in , Mtirelrfaat,'entreathhYOung actress of the.

THE SCOTTISH POLITICAL MARTYRS OF 1792-3-4. • The unfortunate result of Mr. Adams' motion in the Com. mons made a deep impression on the public mind, and par. • ticularly in Scotland. The following circumstance, however, connected' with the interesting subject, has only recently been made known to the public, and we are persuaded that the perusal of it will surprise many reformers of the present day. • At a public entertainment given in Elinburgh in honour of laying the foundation-stone of the Political Martyrs' Monument, 21st Aug., 1844, Sir James Gibson Craig occu pied the chair. After dinner the chairman stated that— " The sentence pronounced against Muir so astonished the jury that they met together immediately after leaving the Court, and unanimously resolved to state to the judges :heir opinion that it was greatly beyond the crime of which they had found him . guilty ; but some hot-headed zealot having sent a letter to Mr. Gilbert Innes, the foreman of the jury, threatening him with assassination for having concur red in the verdict, it was considered imprudent by the jury to praceed further," The veteran Baronet stated that he got his informationfrom one of the jury, a relit ive of his own, and a man of undoubted honour and integrity. It has since been ascertained, we believe, that Mr. Balfour of Piing, who was clerk to the jury, actually drew out the appeal to the judges, when fourteen out of the fifteen signed it—all. with the. exception of Mr. Gilbert Tunes. Strange, indeed, that this important matter should have been kept a secret in the .breast of Sir James Gibson Craig for more than half a oentitry—and the more so when it is considered that he was appointed law-agant by the Court of Justiciary for Gerald, one of the .political martyrs ; for had the circum stances in question been furnished to Mr. Adam of hlair Adam, when he brought the martyrs' case before the House of Commons in March 1794, it appears pretty evident that Pitt, the Minister of the day. might have been compelled, cruel as he was, to yield to an appeal to the Crown, and thus have saved the melancholy fate of these distinguished and patriotic men, We regret exceedingly to state that the venerable Sir James Gibson Craig, who for more than half a century has appeared in the minds of his fellow-countrymen as the "beau ideal"...of a Scottish reformee' should' have thought it neces sary, on the occasion to which we have alluded, to throw dis credit on the mighty cause for which the lives and fortunes of Muir and his associates were consecrated. He ought to have known better and acted Otherwise, and not attempted to state that great pains had been taken to represent the subscribers . to . the martyrs' monument as the friends of . Annual Parliaments and Universal Suf frage, and to add, in these remarkable words, ‘" Now, I think it due. to the memory of Lord Holland, the Duke of Norfolk, and the Duke of Bedfbrd, and many other sub scribers, to say that we never entertained them; we have always disclaimed them." Such a statement was altogether erroneous and uncalled for, and nothing could have been ,more calculated to _create disunion, or to throw over them the " wet blanket." The monument in honour of the martyrs —now fortunately completed—in the Caltou-hill Burying Ground, was mibseri,,bed for. by reformers generally, without r: Bard. to any particular creed. or class, who gave their money for the express purpoge of erecting monuments both in Lo don and Edinburgh, on the principles embodied the hlrowir.g nobly7Apressed rnsolutionsi "That while as Reformots we hail with satisfaction the piogress of tile, great ,principles ,of 'good -government, and cdptideutly anticipate their..eoniplete and:not distant trianiph, we look nick with admiration and gratitude- t - the heroic conduct of tlyse.,intrgpid „patriots, who r in days less hippy tan our own,. were fkdvoc.atea.of.the rights, and martyrs in the cause, of,,ifie people.

Christian Urban, first alto of the Royal Academy of Music, expired at Paris last week. He was a consummate musician, and highly esteemed in the musical world. Short, ill-shaped, invariably wearing a sky-blue coat, and dining every day at the same table at the Café Anglais, Urban was well known for his originality. But what, above all, dist in 'guisbed him was his extreme devotion, the minute practices of which he scrupulously followed. He went to mass every day of the week, and on Sundays attended every service. At night he brought with him to the Opera orchestra pious books, which he read with unction whenever he was per mitted to quit his bow for a moment, you will ask why so devout an artist had engaged at the Opera. He deplored it, but had been obliged to enter the band. Urban had at first devoted his talents to sacred music, but it had not yielded him enough to live upon, and necessity had thrown him into the dramatic world a theatrical musician. All the resources of his mind were employed in reconciling hia ideas with the 1 exigencies of his pr,feseion. Whilst accompanying l- ee4'L ioiin the song and the dance, he had rowe - ...r his . stranger to the spectacle, and to its - —eu a complete attractions, He had made it his pomp and fascinating - a rule to keep his head eon tautly bent on and his eves lowered on his music or prayer-bT,'..c. On no account would he have infringed the duty , ,ne unposed en himself, for the slightest infraction woo iii 4've been to him an enormous sin. Never did lri eyZis venture across the proscenium ; never did he see the end of the foot, or the lower part of the leg of a dancer, even when she executed her liveliest pirouettes or most celestial entrechats. He had a holy horror of such abominations. We do not exaggerate ; it is literally true that Christian Urban was many years in the Opera orchestra without ever having seen the stage. He was unacquainted with the cantatrice: as with the danseuses. One day, in a drawing-room, he met a young and pretty woman, who addressed him as a person whom one often sees, and complimented him on his talents in flattering terms. "Who is that lady?" asked Urban. "What, don't you know her?" replied the master of the house. " I have never seen her." " Impossible! look at her well." "In vain do I look at her," reiterated Urban ; " I assura you that I have never seen her before.' He told the truth, and it was necessary to name Madame Dorus, whom he actually saw for the first time, although he had heard her sing for the last te n y ears . Urban knew no faces on the Opera stage, and knew as little of the plays as 0 the performers; he carefully avoided paying the least atten tion to those works of Satan, and the pious meditations into which he was plunged prevented his hearin ,, the words of the lyric drama. Several modern works have exhi bited on the stage the ceremonies and pomp of the Church. Urban considered it a profanatioe, and shud dered when be heard the chorus utter Church music. One evening, whilst a procession moved across the stage, he was seen to kneel in the orchestra, cross himself, and pray with joined hands, as if he had been at Notre Dame. At the moment death struck him, Urban was about to retire on a pension, and devote himself to monastic life., which promised him unmingled felicity. He has died, leav ing the reputation of a very intelligent man, who, during 25 years never missed a single performance at the Opera, and never saw Guillaume Tell, Robert le Diable, the Huguenots, the Juire, Sylphide, nor Giselle—of a musician of the Opera band who was faithfully at his post every night during those years, and who, though provided with excellent eyes, never saw Mademoiselles Falcon, Nourrit, Taglioni, Madame Stoltz, Duprez, Carlotta Grisi, or any other of the gods and goddesses of either song or ballet.—Paris paper. Some apprehensions were felt of heavy derange ments upon the Hull Stock Exchange in the early part ol the week, but we are happy to ascertain, from well-informed quarters, that they are . likely to prove groundless. Rumour, with her hundred tongues, did some mischief; and the terrors of small speculators bad a tendency at one time to create a local panic. But gradually more temperate councils began to prevail; and at present there is a prospect of a very general re-action in favour of the holders of local stock. — Hull Advertiser. _ _ _ ENTERTAINMENT AT SIIDELEY CASTLE.-OR Mon day, the whole of the aged peor in the borough of Winch comb not receiving parochial relief, were invited by Messrs. Dent, the lords of the manor, to a substantial' entertainment at the Castle. The fare consisted of a plentiful supply 01 roast beef and plum pudding, to which the old people did am. pie justioe, and cheered by the beauty of the scenery of the oldcastle, and the hospitality and affability of their kind en• tertainers, the day was spent with a degree of enjoyment to which many of them had long been strangers. That their bounty might be equally dispensed, the Messrs Dent caused an abundant meal and et ceteras to be sent to the homes of such as were unable from age and infirmities to walk to the Castle.—Gloucestershire Chronicle. WELLS.—MENDIP ACCESSIBLE FOR RAILWAY PURPOSES.—Mr. Samuda, the celebrated engineer, attended a public meeting in this town on Friday last, to report on the. practicability of traversing the Mendip range with railway carriages. He stated that having personally inspected the ground, and examined the sections and levels, he saw nothing whatever to prevent the construction of a line, without cutting or tunnelling, on the atmospheric principle, across the Mendip-bill, ut a cost not exceeding the average, that such line would be perfectly safe and convenient both for pas sengers and goods, and a speed of seventy miles an hour might be attained.—Shcrborne Journal. KINGSWINFORD. COLLIERY EXPLOSION. Last wee:t some men went into the shaft of one of the pits be longing to the Oak Farm Company, for the purpose of re pairing the same. In consequence of foul air having ga thered in the shaft, the men, as we are informed, found it necessary to retreat, and immediately after they were safely landed the fire damp exploded. The mouth of the shaft was covered over as soon as possible, to prevent the air descending, in order to allay the progress of the flames. On Monday last several men assembled on the pit bank for the purpose of opening the mouth of the shaft, and having done so, a tre mendous explosion took place, which blew the pulley cut of the pit frame, and injured several of the bystanders and those employed, but not seriously.— Worcestershire Chronicle. TinE BISHOP or EXETER. The magnanimous Bishop of Exeter has, it is said., refused to countersign the testimonials of the Rev. G. C.

Broun, and was received by the last mail:— • " Westmoreland, near Amherst, N.S., Oct. 15,1845.. "I shall devote this letter principally to giving you as much information as possible with regard to the railroads_ in the American States; especially in that of Massachusett.., which I have derived from the reports of each road laid be fore the Legislature, and which may, therefore, be relied upon as authentic. it The most important is the Western Railroad, forming a line between Boston and Albany, a total distance of about 238. miles, of which the Boston and Worcester is 44, the Western, 156, and the Albany and Stockbridge 38; they are all under the s.tme direction, and f mil, with branches, the samp line of internal communication. A single track only has been laid, with the necessary turnouts and depot tracks at the stations. "On these roads the T edge rail pattern has been used, except on a few recent side branches, weighing 56 1 ,,* 2 pound s to the lineal yard, supported by wooden sleepers, principat of Chesnut, seven feet long and seven inches through, at dis tances of three feet from centre to centre. The sleepers rest on !orgitudinal sills of planks eight inches by three, with x shoit piece of the same under the sleepers at file joints of the bon raiis. On some parts the number of the sleepers and their lengths are greater, so as to increase the bearing sur face. The greater part of the road has been graded, levelled, and formed to a width of 20 feet in the cuts and 16 feet on the .embankments for - a single track. The deep cuts and high embankments generally. Lave been graded to a width of 12(1 feet in the cuts and 16 feet on the embankments for a double track. The heaviest rock cuts are of double width; so is the masonry, except the Connecticut river bridge and a few of the smaller structures. A great part of the Albacy road is graded for two tracks, from 26 to 34 feet in the cuts, and 22 to 26 feet on the embankments; the remainder 20 to 34 feet in the cuts, and 16• to 20 feet on the embankments. The masonry and rock cuts are all for two tracks. _ " The bridges east of Connecticut River are constructed of truss-frames (Long's patent) for two tracks. The Con necticut River Bridge, and those westward, are of trnss frames (Howe's.patent), and for one track only. The truss frames of all are covered in on the sides andtop, and tho roughly whitewashed. The entire flooring of the Connec ticut River Bridge is covered with tin, painted of a dark eeliMr. This bridge is 1,264 feet long, of seven spans ISo feet each. The whole length of bridges is about 6,000 feet, and they are 48 in number. On the Albany mad they are 17 in number,and in length 1,474 feet, 14 feet in width for a single track ;. they are all on Howe's patent, and covere d i n and whitewashed. There are on both roads 15 stone bridgea„, besides culverts, and a tunnel 548 feet long, excl us i ve o f t h e rock cuts at each end, 26 feet wide and 19 high, the sides and arches being of the natural rock ; the cost of the excava tion was 35,000 dols. The least width of laud taken for the road was 5 rods, and increased, as occasion required, to 18 1 „‘ rods. The road has had to cross the hills between the sea and the Hudson River, and one division, of about 13 1 ,, miles, has cost more than 70,000 dols. a mile; there was also a very expensive embankment at RichMond, and the Con necticut Bridge cost 131,612 dols,_ "This road .does not appear, at the: time to whielt the report comes, .te , liavc attained its. 4\lll trade, and m dit.i.. della:lad: then,been made.

" The Berkshire Railway was, at that time, unfinished. though open and in use. Its length is 21 miles 11 chanks,, and the amount expended 205,000 dols. The width of the road-bed in excavation is 16 feet, on embankment 14 feet. The manner in which the rail" is supported is as follows There are undersills of chestnut and oak 7 by 7 inches, on which are placed cross ties 74 feet long, with notches sawed, in to secure the rail, which is 6 by 6 inches, and secured with _ oak keys. On this rail is placed the flat iron car 24 wifki by % of an in. thlek, weighing 22 tons per mile. the undersills are covered with dust and gravel. Tt e w idth of the track is 4 feet 84 inches, Nathiny• 'i s sa id as to difficulties or expenses in wizter, of passengers. and r "; account is given "The I3ostort auti Lowell P-aliway is 26 miles • and its capital 1,800,000 in length, ;upon which is paid, in the year 1842,, two dividend of four per cent. each. The rail first laid was 361 h to th ' e yard, which has been found insufficient, and ~e of the T pattern, of 561 b., has been substituted. No mention is made of any interruption from winter. The amount received was 278,310 dels. 68c. ; and the expenditure (exclusive of relaying) 131,012 dole. 78c. "The Boston and Maine Railroad is only partly in Massa chusetts; its entire length from Boston to Portland is 109 miles. It was then only partially completed, and has some extensive earth excavations and tunnels. It will form, with other roads, one of the most entensive lines in New England. The amount then paid was 1,242,598 dols. 88c., and the re ceipts 155,881 dols. 69c. " The Boston and Providence Railroad is 4R miles, anti the capital 1,834,100 dols. The then. income from passen- . ger« was 163,787 dols. 95e., and from merchandise, mails, &c., 72,679 dols. 96c., or thereabouts; the whole expendi ture, including rent of another road, ferry, &c., 112,214 dols. 63e., and two dividends were made, 1842, of 3 per cent. each. " The Boston and Worcester Railroad is 44 miles in length, and its capital 2,700,000 dole, The Directors state, retelling to a part of the work, that some inconvenience has resulted from a prosecution of a portion of this work at an inclement seasbn of the year; but this' advantage has been countervailed by the greater cheapness of wages at this leason. The regular passenger trains have been run during the year, without the loss of any trip from storms or other cause?' The total cost was 2,764,396 dols. 4c.; gross receipts, 352,283 dols. 82 c. ; current expenses, 168, 509 dots. - 51c.; and two half-yearly dividends, one of four and the other of three per cent., have been made. "The Eastern Railroad from Boston to Portland (lower road), 105 miles, is stated to have been in use during 1842, without injury to a single passenger, or any interruption to its regular traffic. The flat rail now in use on the Marble head branch being found inadequate to the constant use and speed required for the public convenience, the Directors have determined to replace it with the chair-rail similar to the main track. The receipts during the then past year were 269,168 dole. 72c, ; and the number of passengers 468,703. The expenditure was 144,039 dols. 71c. ; and a dividend of 6 per cent. was paid on a capital of 2,100,000 dols. " The Norwich and Worcester Railroad is 103 miles in length ; its cost 2,163,561 dols. Receipts in 1842,137,358 dols. 57c.; expenditure, 122,130 dols. 32c. There isa very trifling charge in January, February, April, and December, for clear ing the road. The earnings, are greatest in September and October, and least in January and February. "The Nashua and Lowell Railroad returns its capital, 380,000 dols.; earnings, 131,188 dols. 91c. ; expenses. 91,577 dols. 53c. ; and two dividends of four per cent. each have been made. The number of passengers was 92,943. "The new Bedford Railway is 20 miles long ; its capital 400,000 dols. Gross receipts, 55,575 dols., and expenses, 23,354 dols. 27c. Two dividends of three per cent. each were this year declared. "The Taunton Branch Railroad is, in length, 11 miles ; has a capital of 250,000 dols.; the total annual expenditure, 57,77 dOls. 58c. ; and the income, 77,170 &Is. 59c. ; and two tividends of four per cent. each were declared within the year. "The Fitchburg Railroad was then unfinished. "The Portland, Saco, and Portsmouth Railroad give their number of passengers for six months, ending Nov. 30, 1844, 108,743 1 %; and for six months, ending May 31, 1845, 42,535%—t0ta1, 150,279. Their total income for that period, 131,404 dols. 18c.; expenditure, 51,822 dols. 26c. ; and they make a net profit a little above 7 dols. per share. They state the average expense of transit per mile run to be 43c. and a fraction, and make no mention of any expense of clearing :now, &c. I have, in fact, mentioned every instance where any such costs, or anything that might be supposed to in clude it, appears in the account as a distinct item. " I have also obtained the following account of the cost of the motive power and receipts per mile travelled on some other of the great roads : Cost per mile. Receipts per mile. Georgia... South Carolina Central Georgia Western Boston and Lowell 106 c. " The foregoing particulars may be useful to you and to the committee in forming your calculations. In the state of Massachusetts land would have to be purchased at a higher price than Boston and the towns; indeed, quite as dear as it is in England." * " I think the rail here mentioned is the wooden plank I refared to in a former letter, and the car the flat iron tire."

DETECTION OX A SWINDLER.—We regret to learn that a young man named August Schmidt, the son of a re spectable merchant in Schlawe, Prussia, has been detected in a series of forgeries in this country, one of which has been effected on an extensive and influential mercantile firm in Newcastle. The delinquent, it appears, came to London about two months ago, with letters of credit and introduc tion which turn out to have been forged, and in consequence of die supposed genniness of which he realised 401. from a mercantile house in this town. He also obtained a letter of introduction to parties in London, from the said firm, and on. reaching the metropolis, forged a bill on the house that had thus obliged him, adhibiting no fewer than seven false in dorsements of well-known merchants in London, and after wards discounting the forged bill with a corn-dealer there. ' D ulitet ittlangerous, 'however, to continue such irittisac- ' i tic) vtlal,delinqueot nett decamped to the continent, nar ro lx escaping / in his tour, the eagle-eye of . the, celebrated , Eo rester,' who had b-cen dispatched after him.
