This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous Us any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the south-western part of the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no. minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsora, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best lir.e, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers given hire, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : " Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and y our Committee feel Justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moersom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham. worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic) upon the line is sufficient to lea , e a clear net profit of net less than 8 1. per eent. during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as use main features of the undertaking come to be Hilly understood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Com pany should be formed with a capital of 450.000/., in shares of 50/. each. _ _ . Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee i■ order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 509,000/., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. _ _ The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma. Con of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. A * arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Compaq, that Company guaranteeing Si per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cazeiove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, solicitors, Ringwood ; and to Gilb?rt Stephens, Esq., 13, Northumberland.street, Charing.cresa, London ; Messrs. Henning and Andrews, Weymouth ; Messrs.

Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public accommodation than Weedon. rho line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main lino from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south ; and, as a nece L ssary result, the ondon and Bir mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. A c curate surveys of the country have been made under the dl. rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif ficulties. Estimates of the traffic have been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the Lon don and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved far the Proprietorswill of the London and Birming ham Company ; and the remainder the London to parties having local interess, and other applicants.

IN MANCNESTEIL—Sir BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Bart., and CO Since the Prospectus of this Railway was issued to the Public, the South-Eastern Company have laid out a Line of Railway from. Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plan, by which L was proposed to carry out the Railway from Faver. sham to Ramsgate and Margate by a Coast Line, with a view to the substitution of another Line, which should fall into the Ash ford branch at or near Canterbury ; by such a junction, a direct Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and Margate, while an important accommodation will also be afforded to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line Itself will be made capable of extension to several other important points on the Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse. The Committee have determined upon this modification after a mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac. Lion of knowing that it is in accordance with the wishes of the Inha bitants of the district, through which it is proposed the Line shall pass; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be. tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those important Depots and the Metropolis; and the important traffic of Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company. The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi nally laid down, at London-bridge, and will proceed round Green. wlch-park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Wick. ham, Bexley Heath, Crayford, Dartford, Stone, and Northfieet, to Gravesend, and thence to Stroed, Rochester, Chatham, and Bromp ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter City. The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern Company shall not effectually carry out their Line. The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by the Government. In the original Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent. upon a capital of 1,500,0001. By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re duced t• 1,250,000!., and by this reduction, and the accession of additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury, the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in creased to the Shareholders. As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which the revenue was calculated in the original Prospectus, it may be stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravesend, between the Ist of June and the 30th of September, in the present year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,923, ex ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year. The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in the lower part of their Line, and the new survey rendered necessary thereby ; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment imme diately after the 29th inst., and no application fur Shares will be received after that day. A deposit of W. per share will be payable on the allotment taking place, and at the same time the Subscribers' Assent, and Parlia mentary Contract must be signed. The Committee, however, feel so confident in the superiority and advantages of the proposed Line, that they engage to return the whole amount of the deposits, without any deduction, should their Line not be approved of by the Board of Trade. _ _ Prospectuses may be obtained at the Solicitor's Office, No. 30, Bedford-row, and further applications for Shares must be made to the Provisional Committee only, at their Office, No. 13, Austin Friars, Old Broad.street, London.

CHEAP LIGHT. EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere. They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by .Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. AND'S LOTION for Purifying the Skin and Preserving the Complexion.—The use of Gowland's Lotion is speedily followed by the disappearance of every species of eruptive malady, discoloration, &c., and the establishment of a pure surface of the skin, accompanied by the brilliant circulation which constitutes the tint of beauty ; whilst as a refresher it pre. serves the most susceptible complexion, and sustains to a protracted period the softness of texture and vivacity peculiar to earlier years.

ESSRS. BECKET and CHILD, have the honour to announce that they have received instructions to offer the above valuable and eligibly situated Premises for public competition, on a day to be named In a future advertisement. These Premises are upon the Banks of the Calder (the water of which has long been celebrated for its excellency for Dyeing pur. poses), and are situate higher up the stream than any other similar est ablishment. The works possess facilities for the transit of goods rarely to be met with. They are bounded by the river Calder, the Calder and Hebble Navigation, and the Wakefield and Denby Dale Turnpike road, and are within a short distance of the Manchester and Leeds Rail way. In the Immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from whence fuel may be obtained on very reasonable terms. The Buildings have been erected within the last four years, and are arranged upon a plan admitted by competent judges to be equal If not superior to any other Dyehouse in the kingdom. The Steam Engine is 30 horse power, and connected with it are FIVE LARGE BOILERS, constructed for the purpose of generating steam for the works, and all the machinery (Including large Indigo Mill, and every requisite for preparing Dye-woods), utensils, and implements, are on the most modern and improved principles. Attached to the premises is ANEWLY-BUILT D WELLI NO -HOUSE, . . containing dining, drawing, and breakfast-rooms, and two kitchens on the ground-floor; arid adjoining are tastefully laid-out Plea sure Grounds, sloping to the river, and forming a most desirable residence for the Proprietor of the Works.

There are periods when those in pursuit of truth, ith the view of testing their principles, may pause with advantage, to review the experience of the past, to consider the present, and to reflect upon the pros pects of the future. Such a period has arrived with free-traders. We are emerging from a season of appalling distress, unparalleled in our commercial annals for duration and intensity. When we look back to " the report of the conference of ministers of all denominations on the corn-laws, held in Manchester in August, 1841," and read the heart rending details of suffering furnished by all parts of the country, and compare it with the existing state of things, we can scarcely realise the amount of misery from which we have so recently escaped. What are the causes of these changes P Have they been satisfactorily explained by the monopolists ? Are they reconcileable with the principles of free trade ? " The knowledge of a disease," says the Father of Medicine, "is half its cure." What know ledge of the causes of the late distress have the mono polists exhibited ? We cannot forget that for some time after its commencement the monopolist Govern ment boldly denied the existence of the distress in the manufacturing districts; then they said it was partial and exaggerated ; but the rapid increase of pauperism and crime, the crowds of starving opera tives filling the streets instead of the manufactories, became too notorious to be longer trifled with, and the same Government, which a short time before denied the sufferings of the people, ordered sermons to be preached, and collections to be made in all the churches to relieve it. Being obliged at length thus to acknowledge the existence of the distress, it is instructive to call to mind the reasons they assigned for it. There was one point in which the Government and its monopolist supporters were all agreed, and that was that the' corn-laws had no share in it. No. They attributed the wide spread distress to over-population, to over production, and to too great an increase of machinery. Now, the causes they assigned are perfectly irre concileable with any change for the better so long as population, production, and machinery continued to increase, and yet, happily, the distress has been changed into prosperity, notwithstanding that a mil lion of souls have been added to the population since the monopolists complained that the people were too many. Distress is passing away, not from the pro duction of manufactures being diminished, but by its increase to a greater extent than at any former period. There is now more machinery than ever was known, notwithstanding the monopolists said that there was previously so much that it displaced labour, and caused distress, by throwing the people out of employment. Mr. Horner, the Factory Com missioner, in his last report, says—" I not only do not hear of any persons being out of employment, but that in some places hands are scarce." It is clear that the arguments adJuced by the mo nopolists will not bear the test of examination or ex perience. The existing state of things proves that we have neither too many people nor do we produce too many manufactures, nor have we too much ma chinery. What, then, were the real causes of the late distress ? We have always attributed it to the scarcity and high prices of provisions ; let us see how far facts warrants this view of the question. The years 1834, 1835, and 1836, were years of unparal leled prosperity, which was shared equally by the working-classes and by the manufacturers. Mark, they were years of low priced provisions; the aver age price of wheat in 1834 was 465. 2d. per quar ter ; in 1835, 395. 4d. ; and in 1836, 48s. Sd. per quarter. In 1837 the change Commenced ; the aver age price of wheat rose to 555. 10d. In 1838 it rose again to 645. 4d. Here began the distress. In 1839 it rose still higher, to 70s. 6d. Distress increased. In 1840 the price was 665. 6d,* Distress was sore in the land. In 1841 the price was 645. 5d., when the distress increased almost beyond endurance ; and why ? Because in the last four of these years the people had paid upwards of 200,000,0001. more for their food than in the four preceding years. During this distressing period of dear provisions the earnings of the labouring classes were nearly all absorbed in obtaining necessary food ; they had little left to spend in clothing; hence those who were engaged in manu factures for supplying the working classes were thrown out of employment and their distress was aggravated by the like falling off in the foreign de mand for manufactures, because our inability to con sume foreign as well as home productions disabled foreigners from consuming our manufactures; and thus high-priced food produced bad trade in the fo reign as well as in the home market, and was the source of all the suffering which the people endured in that memorable and never-to-be-forgotten period from 1838 to 1842. But why has trade improved? Is it the result, as some contend, of the wisdom of a Conservative Go vernment ? Or is it caused, es Mr. Gladstone boasts, by Sir Robert Peel's tariff and new sliding-scale ? We shall demonstrate that neither the one nor the other has had the least share in our returning pros perity. We had prosperity in 1834, 1835, and 1836, greater than that which we now enjoy, and yet during those years we were neither blessed with a Conserva tive Government, nor the new tariff, nor the new sliding-scale. It is not then the change from a Whig to a Conservative Government that has wrought the improvement of the last two years; it is the change from scarcity and dearness to " cheapness and plenty." The decline in the price of food has left money in the pockets of the mass of the people (who are at all times the great consumers of commodities), which has enabled them to purchase clothing and foreign produce, and thus employment has been created for our artisans and manufacturers, Can any rational man doubt, with such facts as these before him, what have been the causes of our recent distress, and of our returning prosperity ? Looking at the experience of the past, and reflecting on the present state of things, can he doubt that the principles of Free Trade—the law of the Almighty— are founded in truth ? If, then, these principles be true, looking to the future, what ought we to ex pect? Will the improvement in trade be perma nent? We answer decidedly "No." We have no more security for the continuance of prosperity than there is for exemption from the eruptions of a volcano. The same elements which have produced disorder and distress before are still in existence, and, like the volcano, only await the operation of the same train of events to break forth again. Insufficient harvests will again bring with them all the derangement in the currency and in trade which we have before ex perienced, and its concomitant distress. There is, and there can be, no security for the future but in the total repeal of the mischievous and iniquitous corn-laws. We call, therefore, on every refloating mind in this season a calm to weigh well the oonse • quence3 4 perseverance in the existing corn and other monopolies; and VN earnestly urge upon those • • who see the insecurity of our present position to re double their efforts to abolish monopoly, and to eman ' cipate industry, as the only means of placing our trade and commerce on that permanent footing which can alone lead to the prosperity and happiness of all classes of the people. * The average price of wheat during these years affords no criterion of the real price of wheat fit for human food, Owing to the wet seasons, great quanti ties were s(ild for pigs' !neat, as low as 303. per quarter, whilst sound meat was worth Bos. per quarter.

BANK OF IRELAND.--REDUCTION OF DISCOUNT.-- , The Directors of the Bank of Ireland have reduced their rate of Discount on English Bills to Three per Cer,t. The official announcement to this effect was made OK ThUFSdfLvs—Dublin Eve n i ng Post. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The occasion of her Majesty's visit- to open the Royal Exchange, Monday next, will, it is understood, be observed as a holyday by the principal City. establishinents. The Directors of the Bank of Muglrind have already signified their intention of closing their doors to business operations ; and the private bankers, we are informed, have resolved to suspend the attendance of their clerks after twelve o'clock, the previous hours being alleged as necessary for the payment of bills and other affairs which cannot he delayed. It is to be hoped that all other leading firma will follow the example so readily set, and make the day one of general holyday and recreation. It was rumoured late this afternoon that Messrs. Rothschild have taken the Belgian loan, which is likely to put an end to the further reduction of the. Dutch Five per Cents., the fact being that the Government of the latter country will receive suffi cient of the proceeds of this loan to enable them to pay off the remainder of that particular description of stock. This increase to the coffers of the Dutch Go vernment, arises from the liability of Belgium for part of the old debt, which will thus be liquidated. The price at which the loan has been negotiated did not transpire. The files of papers received by the Teviot from the \Vest Indies are, for the most part, barren of iritere,t ing intelligence. The Demerara Legislasure have voted, in accordance with the terms of Lord Stanley's dipatcb, 75,000/. for the encouragement of Bill Coolie emigration, and the revenue of the colony ap pears to be increasing. The news from Jamaica and the other islands is wholly unimportant ; there is no additional information respecting the earthquake be yond what we have already published.- Business was rather better at Trinidad. The total exports of sugar from Barbadoes for the season were 22,558 Mids., or less by 2,000 hhds. than those of last season. The weather was not considered favourable for the new crop. The following extract of a letter from Monte Video, dated the 30th of July, 1844, is worthy of attentive perusal, the accounts received through the channel of papers being either so meagre or of such an exaggerated character, that little reliance can be placed in them : " On the 27th of June the brig of war Imperial Pedro, which sailed from here with dispatches, arrived at Rio Janeiro. On the 28th there was a meeting of the Brazilian Ministers to take into consideration pro posals made by this Government. On the Ist of July there was another consultation, to which the English and French Ministers were also invited to attend, and although what passed at these meetings has not trans pired in Rio Janeiro, the result has been the arrival here of a corvette of 26 guns, a brig, a schooner, and steamer of war. The corvette brings 400 artillery men, and the Carrisca frigate and another corvette are hourly expected, and 2,000 men have been ordered from Rio Janeiro to be embarked for Rio Grande. It appears that of the seven which compose the Brazilian Ministry, four are in favour of an immediate armed intervention, and all agree that Brazil cannot allow Rosas to take possession of Monte Video ; but three of them are timid and fear the war, and wish to press the subject to negotiation, although they do not know how to set about it. Negotiation is, of course, oat of the question, and as this will soon become apparent, there is no doubt the war party will soon prevail, and indeed Grenfell has already orders not to let Monte Video fall into the hands of Oribe. So that, should the latter make any attack, the war will break out immediately." In the New York papers .received by the last arrival are contained some extracts from the official commercial statement for the nine mouths ending June, 1843, which has been issued at Washington. Some of the high-tariff party, it would seem, to support the cause of protective duties, have been en deavouring to persuade the people that the trade with England is of little value to the union. To expose the fallacy of this notion the extracts in question have been made, and sufficiently prove that Great Britain is a more important customer than all the rest of the world put together. The total value of exports during the period referred to is thus made up : W hole amount Of which to Great Britain and depen dencies . To the rest of the world. More to Great Britain and colonies than 45,428,811 32,364,972 - to the rest of the world ...... $13,063,829 Among the articles taken by Gre a t . Britain, exclu sively of the colonies, cotton figures at 37,000,000 dolls , and tobacco at 1,000,000 dolls., while the de pendencies alone take " bread stuffs" to the value of 2,000,000 dolls. These are the most important articles in the list, though the provisions taken here under out• new tariff bear a considerable value. Lead appears as a new item of export to this country, as we used formerly to export it to America. A I 6 showing the export of agricultural produce alone exhibits still more plainly the importance of England to America. The total export of agricul tural produce, during the• nine months in question, to Great Britain and her dependencies is set down at 43,000,000 dolls. The rest of the world only takes 21;000,000 dolls., thus giving England an excess of 22,000,000 dolls. Notwithstanding the state of things just exhibited, it appears there is a constant com plaint in America among a certain party, that " Eng land will not buy !" A free trade writer remarks, that there is no complaint that France will not buy, and yet the value of the two customers is clearly shown by the following comparison : France. England. Domestic exports to 511,934,066 ... $45,428,811, Imports from 7,836,137 ... 28,978,582 Excess of domestic ex- ports Thus, not only do the exports of Gr ea t Britain ex ceed those to France, but are even greater in propor— tion to the imports. A more convincing series of facts could scarcely be devised.

And such is really the ease, for we are never applied to till the patient, per fectly cognizant of his own defect, seeks its alleviation. in the resources of art.

We are directed to this by a minute ank careful in quiry into the history of the case. We carefully trace its progress from its first origin to the period of actual investigation—the mode of attack—the number and variety—the presumed causes—the effects or conse quences—the state of the other functions, and carefully compare these with the existing phenomena.—From Dr. Croain's, Craven -street, Strand, Treatise on Nervous Deafness.
